Chapter 174 - A Mistake in the Deep Sea (1/2)
Chapter 174 A Mistake in the Deep Sea
“Brother Sect Master! Brother Sect Master!”
In the main temple of Anshui City, the two statues crossed the bridge with their spiritual will and entered a blurry dream.
When Ao Yi saw Li Changshou, who was standing under the statue, he could not help but feel helpless.
There was a hint of anxiety, disappointment, and helplessness in his voice. It was mixed with a tinge of novelty, joy, and shame.
Li Changshou stood still with a smile and a.n.a.lyzed the situation carefully. He had roughly understood what had happened.
At that moment, Li Changshou and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had already returned to the venue of the Three Sects’ Meet. It was as if nothing had happened. He maintained the ordinary aura that an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Du Sect should have.
Li Changshou had expected that Ao Yi would use his spiritual will to communicate with
him.
However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that the first thing Ao Yi said was not that he had been attacked in the deep sea,
but…
“What should I do, Sect Master?”
“What happened?”
“I! Ah, I! I’m really ashamed to say… it…”
Ao Yi’s face was filled with embarra.s.sment. There was a hint of nostalgia in his embarra.s.sment, and a tinge of shyness while he was reminiscing…
Li Changshou frowned and said, “Did your actions not follow your thoughts and caused you to make some physical mistake?”
“Yes!”
Ao Yi’s mouth was closed, and his nasally voice was a little twisted. There was a hint of grievance on his face.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Could it be that the dragon race experts who arrived later did not resolve the Yang Qi for Ao Yi and instead continued with the mistake?
*Hiss*
The experts of the dragon race might have really done something like that!
In the eyes of the dragon race, perhaps the mermen were just their subordinates, and the little mermaid princess was barely worthy of their Second Prince. Although the Second Prince’s human form was fixed as the appearance of a young man, he was actually already of age.
Counting the time…
Wow, Little Dragon, you look like a young man, and you’re pretty energetic.
At that time, Li Changshou also saw the little mermaid princess whom Ao Yi had been protecting
When the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du left with him, the two of them were already ahem, in shape…
Perhaps, my Heart of Flame Pill can only bear half of the responsibility for the matter…
Ao Yi asked in a fl.u.s.tered manner, “Sect Master, what should I do now?”
Li Changshou looked at Ao Yi and quickly thought of a safe strategy.
At that moment, Li Changshou was also a little speechless. He actually had a similar mentality as when he was in school in his previous life and heard that he had slept with a guy and had not returned home the entire night.
If he did not admit his mistakes, there would be endless troubles. Li Changshou patiently asked, “Brother Yi, tell me in detail. What happened?”
Ao Yi immediately felt a little embarra.s.sed. However, due to his trust in Li Changshou who was in front of him, as well as his worries about his overnight growth, he could not help but explain in detail what he had just experienced.
And so on.
Li Changshou had already made up his mind. He suddenly realized something and asked, “You went to suppress the rebellion and appease the mermen, but you fell into a trap? At the critical moment, an expert called Little Daoist Master Xuan Du appeared and his four Guardians helped you out in time? However, when things calmed down, you suddenly lost your mind and became infatuated. The little mermaid princess whom you were protecting experienced the same thing as you. Then, you two… Hmm?”
“Yes! Yes!” “This…” Li Changshou frowned slightly. “This matter should not be too bad for you. As the Prince of the Dragon Palace, you are more than enough for the mermaid princess. Now that there is a crisis in the sea, you can help your father if you use this to stabilize the mermen.”
Ao Yi blinked and said in embarra.s.sment, “You are right, Sect Master. I was anxious when I just woke up and I’m still taking a nap now. I decided to come and find you first.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
So, Your Highness, you’re hugging a beauty now and you haven’t even gotten out of your bed. Yet, you’re here to show off to a 200-year-old pure Yang like me?
Naturally, that was a joke that he could not say.
Li Changshou said warmly, “Let’s not talk about how it happened. Now that things have come to this, what do you plan to do, Brother Yi?”
Ao Yi pondered for a while and sighed.
“I will not let her down. Previously, the Sect Master had advised me to forget about Disciple-Niece Han Zhi. I no longer have such thoughts about her. Since it has already happened, I will immediately report to my father and marry the princess. I’ll bring her back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace in a grand manner! Ah, thank you for clearing my doubts, Brother!”
I didn’t say anything! You’re just a small dragon who doesn’t mean what you say!
“Then, I’ll congratulate you first.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and changed the topic. “The person behind you must be plotting against you.”
“That person from the west is really bullying me!”
TO
Ao Yi answered calmly. Then, he continued, “Sect Master, there’s something else that’s strange. The few experts who helped me escape today claimed that they were under the orders of a certain emperor. That really confused me. Could it be the current human Emperor? However, how could there be any human rulers in the South Continent now? After the Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty, there were more than nine human rulers. The human race has always been at odds with the smaller nations… After thinking about it, I wonder if this emperor is the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts?”
Li Changshou sighed and said, “Since things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore. “Through the higher-ups, I’ve already mentioned the matter of the dragon race being schemed against, to the Lord of the Three Realms who had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao. I wanted to ask this Emperor to give a decree to protect the dragon race. Although the Heavenly Courts are newly established, they are in charge of serving justice in the Three Realms. Moreover, the Jade Emperor has extremely strong backing. He has an existence behind his back that can make the Western Sect fear him. With a word of his, the dragon race would definitely be able to ease the pressure. It is a pity that the emperor has yet to become fully-fledged and is unwilling to go against the Saint… I’m ashamed that I can’t request a decree… but since someone had gone to help you today, Brother Yi, he might be hesitating.” Ao Yi’s eyes lit up at first. Then, he lowered his head and pondered. When he heard that Li Changshou did not request for the decree, he could not help but feel disappointed…
Li Changshou observed the subtle changes in Ao Yi’s expression. In the end, Ao Yi’s face was filled with grat.i.tude, and he felt a little embarra.s.sed.
However, Li Changshou had no choice but to do it.
He had to consider the emotions of the dragon race and take care of the Jade Emperor’s authority.
Although the Jade Emperor and his side wanted the dragon race to enter the Heavenly Courts, the best solution would be that the dragon race took the initiative to request.
His thought process had to be clear.
Li Changshou’s efforts in the underground secret chamber during the past few years were not in vain. The situation of Ao Yi being attacked was also in the complicated “story tree” that he had drawn.
Ao Yi bowed deeply with a Dao salute and said firmly, “Brother Sect Master, I know that you are concerned about the dragon race, but I never thought that you would be able to do this for the dragon race! Brother! Please accept a bow from me!”
Every time he heard Ao Yi excitedly call him ‘Brother Sect Master’, Li Changshou could not help but hear a cla.s.sic trumpet tune in his heart. It was from a cla.s.sic television drama in his previous life— ‘The G.o.dfather Liang Shan and His Companions’.
“Brother Yi, why are you so polite? Please get
up!”
Li Changshou hurriedly supported him and instructed, “Brother Yi, please do not spread anything about this matter. It would be best if you do not mention it in the Dragon Palace. After all, I have not done it yet.” Let’s be steady. I can’t rush to succeed. I shall plant the seeds first and observe the future.
