"Of course!"
Darknorth did not hesitate as he replied with certainty.
After that, he knelt on the praying mat again and kowtowed three times to the statue of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor on the altar.
Ji Tianxing keenly discovered that there was actually a shallow dent in the incomparably hard black stone slab where he had kowtowed.
This was not something that could be formed in three to five years.
After Darknorth bowed, he returned to his original position and made an inviting gesture to Ji Tianxing.
The two of them left the secret room and returned to the study room. They sat down and started to talk.
"Long Tian, I apologize to you for what the Imperial Tutor did. Please do not take it to heart."
Before they started to talk, Darknorth bowed to Ji Tianxing to express his apology.
Ji Tianxing accepted it calmly and asked, "If you were not the one who ordered this, why are you apologizing?"
Darknorth explained with a solemn expression, "After Flying Dragon reported your identity and intentions, I didn't even have time to think of how to face you before Imperial Preceptor led his troops to hunt you down.
This matter has nothing to do with me, whether you believe it or not. "
Ji Tianxing already had an answer in his heart and did not continue to dwell on this matter. He said, "Since it was the Ice Dragon King's decision and he has received the punishment he deserved, I will not make things difficult for him."
Darknorth heaved a sigh of relief and sat back on the chair. He sighed and said, "I have not seen you for more than a thousand years. I don't know what kind of opportunity you had to reach the peak from the fourth degree realm.
And I have not made any progress in the past thousand years. I still have not reached the peak. "
Ji Tianxing said calmly, "The position of the Dragon Emperor is indeed prestigious and unparalleled, but it is not that easy to sit on.
After becoming the Dragon Emperor, you have to deal with endless government affairs. Where will you find the time to cultivate? "
"That's true." Darknorth nodded in agreement.
But after nodding, he realized that Ji Tianxing's words had a hidden meaning.
Therefore, he pondered for a while before asking, "So, after you defeated the Golden Origin Dragon Emperor and became the Dragon Emperor of the Starry Origin Continent, you are not in a hurry to take control of the situation. Instead, you came to me. Why is that?"
Ji Tianxing did not beat around the bush and answered straightforwardly, "Controlling the Star Source Continent and managing billions of people in the Hundred Realms is a laborious task. I don't have the leisure and time for that.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. I just want to do my own thing well.
I'm here to look for you. Firstly, I want to revisit this place and look for memories. Secondly, I want to ask for your help. "
However, Darknorth was already mentally prepared. He guessed that Ji Tianxing's so-called important matter might have nothing to do with the Dragon Emperor's position, much less snatch it from him.
However, Ji Tianxing's straightforwardness still surprised him.
"You want my help?
With your current strength, what else do you need my help with? "
Ji Tianxing shook his head and explained, "It has nothing to do with my strength. I just want you to help me find someone."
"Say it." Darknorth nodded and said sincerely, "As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to help."
Ji Tianxing explained, "I want to find a human youth called Wu Hen. He is my son. He was rescued by a Peak Divine King more than ten years ago …"
He briefly described Wu Hen's characteristics and the process of his disappearance.
Darknorth noted it down. He then nodded and said, "I've never seen or heard of this youngster Wu Hen that you're talking about.
However, I can use the power of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palace to search and investigate in the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
If you are sure that he was rescued by a Peak Divine King, I will send a message to the Green Phoenix Old Ancestor of the Shangqing Grotto-Heaven.
I believe you know that she is the only Peak Divine King in the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent. "
"Green Phoenix Old Ancestor?" Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, the probability of her rescuing Wu Hen is not high.
Firstly, she is not of the dragon race and does not seem to be good at the dragon race's secret techniques.
Secondly, she has always been living in seclusion in the Shangqing Grotto-Heaven and does not care much about worldly affairs. "
Darknorth nodded in agreement and said, "Whether it is or not, I have to send a message to be at ease."
"Alright, thank you." Ji Tianxing clasped his hands and expressed his gratitude.
Darknorth was not hypocritical. He took out a communication jade slip on the spot and sent a message to the Green Phoenix Old Ancestor in front of Ji Tianxing.
Although the Green Phoenix Old Ancestor was high in seniority and powerful, she did not care about worldly affairs and kept a very low profile.
But the Shangqing Grotto-Heaven was one of the three top forces in the Heavenly Dragon Continent. As the Dragon Emperor, Darknorth would of course keep in touch with the Shangqing Grotto-Heaven.
After sending the message, the next step was to wait for the Green Phoenix Old Ancestor's reply.
If the Green Phoenix Old Ancestor was cultivating in seclusion, she should not send a message in a short time.
Ji Tianxing and Darknorth were clear about this, so they would not wait aimlessly and continue to talk about other issues.
"Although you have inherited the position of the Dragon Emperor, I have no interest in this position, and I should not meddle in other people's business.
But this continent is after all the painstaking efforts of my master to protect it.
This Heavenly Dragon Divine Palace is also the cave where my master has lived all her life, and it was also once my home. "
Ji Tianxing looked at Darknorth and said calmly, "I don't want to see an incompetent person who occupies the position of the Dragon Emperor, but can't even protect the foundation of my master."
Darknorth was judged as an incompetent person. He frowned a little unhappily, but he was not angry because of this.
He stared at Ji Tianxing and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Ji Tianxing said expressionlessly, "Although I have not been back to the Heavenly Dragon Continent for long, and I have not deliberately investigated anything.
But I can find a few people to inquire about the current situation of the Heavenly Dragon Continent, as well as your current situation.
You can imagine, the problem between you and the Heavenly Dragon Continent, to what extent has it reached?
It is a little exaggerated to say that everyone knows about it, but the disappointment and criticism of you among the people is an indisputable fact! "
Darknorth's expression was a little gloomy. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "You are right, I have not done well.
But don't worry, this is only temporary. I will continue to work hard to protect the foundation of the Heavenly Dragon Ancestor. "
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said in a firm and dignified tone, "No, it is not that you are not qualified, and it is not that you are not working hard enough.
Ever since you ascended the throne, you have been working hard and conscientiously. This is something that everyone can see, and it is an achievement that cannot be erased.
You are not a Peak Divine King, and you do not have the deterrent power of my master. This is human nature, but it is not the main reason for the situation to deteriorate.
The real problem is that … you do not know how to judge people, and you do not know how to use them!
I think you know in your heart that as long as the Ice Dragon King is in a high position, and he is still bossing you around, and often overstepping his boundaries …
Then you will never be able to govern this continent well!
If you do not get rid of him, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palace will not be peaceful, and the entire continent will not be able to live in peace! "
