"Where is Father now?" Ao Hong asked.
"The Water Element Palace is badly damaged. Father is temporarily recuperating in the Water Element Palace. Come with me." Ao Zhong did not make things difficult for Ao Hong and turned to leave.
When he turned around, the red-armored woman behind him smiled and bowed to Ao Hong.
"Greetings to the Ninth Prince."
"What Ninth Prince? Ao Xin, call me Ninth Brother." Ao Hong frowned and pretended to be angry.
The red-armored woman named Ao Xin pointed to Ao Zhong's back and gently waved her hand. Then she smiled bitterly and mouthed silently, "Ninth Brother."
Seeing this, Ao Hong revealed a smile.
After Ao Zhong ordered the people behind him to patrol the nearby area, he took Ao Hong and Shen Luo to the Water Element Palace.
Shen Luo found that there were more and more people in the Dragon Palace. Some of them were repairing the house, and some were treating the wounded. However, everyone who saw Ao Zhong and the others would immediately stop and salute them.
That kind of respect was not for their status, but from the bottom of their hearts.
"Taoist Qing Chi, the Second Prince seems to be very respected in the Dragon Palace." Shen Luo sent a voice transmission to the Aqua Yaksha.
"Fellow Cultivator Shen, you may not know, but it was all thanks to the Second Prince that the Dragon Palace was able to survive this crisis. He defeated the demons that besieged the Dragon Abyss and saved everyone," Qing Chi replied quickly.
"To be able to besiege the Dragon Abyss, it must be an extremely powerful demon?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.
"A Three-headed Demon Snake. Although that guy is not a good guy, he is really powerful." Qing Chi said sincerely.
Hearing this, Shen Luo could not help but feel a little strange, but he did not say anything more.
Not long after, the group came to a large hall that was blue and seemed to be made of green jade.
There were seven or eight aquatic people gathered in front of the palace. Among them, there were armored generals and scholars in Confucian robes. They seemed to be the civil and military officials of the Dragon Palace. When they saw Ao Zhong and the others coming, they immediately saluted.
After Ao Zhong returned the greeting, he glanced behind him and said to Ao Hong and Yuan Yan, "Father is inside. You come with me and Uncle Yuan. The others can stay outside."
Ao Hong hesitated for a moment before apologizing to Shen Luo via voice transmission. He asked Shen Luo to wait outside while he walked into Water Beauty Palace with Ao Zhong and Yuan Zhen.
Shen Luo didn't mind at all. He waited outside the door with the others.
"Shen Daoyou, where have you been cultivating all these years? Why haven't you contacted Ao Hong? "Qing Chi chuckled at him and asked.
Shen Luo was taken aback when he heard this. He thought to himself, "How would I know where I went?" But he couldn't say it out loud.
"The world has been unstable these years, so I have been cultivating on the mountain. I haven't gone down the mountain, nor have I contacted my old friends." Shen Luo had to make up a story.
"May I ask, Shen Daoyou, where do you come from?" Qing Chi asked again.
Shen Luo subconsciously wanted to say the Temple of Spring and Autumn, but he quickly reacted and said, "Fangcun Mountain."
"Oh, you are a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi. Sorry for the disrespect!" Hearing the name of Fangcun Mountain, Qing Chi suddenly became respectful and said.
Shen Luo just smiled politely and didn't answer.
He suddenly thought of something. After a moment of hesitation, he asked through voice transmission, "Brother Qing Chi, what's the matter with Ao Hong and his second brother? Their relationship seems to be a bit strange."
Hearing Shen Luo call him "Old Brother" made Qing Chi feel very comfortable in his heart, but he still said,
"Whether it's Shen Daoyou's realm or the relationship between Shen Daoyou and the Ninth Prince, it's not appropriate to call him that. It's not appropriate."
"Haha, I just feel that Elder Brother is straightforward and straightforward. You're also older than me, so I'm willing to call you Elder Brother," Shen Luo said with a smile.
Qing Chi's face bloomed with joy as soon as he put on such a high hat.
"This is the business of the Ninth Prince and the other nobles. As a subordinate, it's not appropriate for me to say anything. But Brother Shen and the Ninth Prince are close friends. You are not an outsider, so I dare to say a few words." Qing Chi said through voice transmission.
"Brother Qing Chi, if it's a taboo, then don't say it. I just feel a little strange." Shen Luo said deliberately.
Qing Chi's gossipy heart had been stirred up. The words were in his throat. How could he agree?
"It's okay. It's not a secret. Who in the Dragon Palace doesn't know?" he said immediately.
"If that's the case, please tell me." Shen Luo laughed in his heart and said through voice transmission.
"Alas, speaking of this, it's our Dragon King's fault. He is too biased. He has spoiled the Ninth Prince since he was young. As the first Dragon Son born in the Dragon Palace, the Second Prince is naturally dissatisfied." Qing Chi sighed and said through voice transmission.
"The Second Prince is the first Dragon Son?" Shen Luo asked in confusion.
"Yes, before the Second Prince, there was a Princess Royal named Ao Yue." Qing Chi said.
When Shen Luo wanted to ask something more, the door of the Shuixiu Palace was suddenly opened. Ao Zhong stood at the door and said to everyone, "You guys come in too."
Qing Chi and Ao Xin responded at the same time and led the way into the hall.
Shen Luo also followed in. His eyes swept inside and saw a white jade dragon carriage in the depths of the hall. A tall man in a golden robe was leaning against it. He had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose, a thorny golden horn on his forehead, and a short beard under his chin. Although his face was pale and sickly, it was still difficult to hide his noble aura. It was the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang.
Beside him stood a beautiful woman with a short horn on her head. Her figure was much taller than an ordinary woman, and her long blue hair was tied up with a golden jade crown. If one only looked at her back, one would definitely mistake her for a handsome man.
The woman's appearance was extremely beautiful, yet she was different from the gentle charm of an ordinary woman. She had a fair and clear face, brows that were like distant mountains, eyes that were like the hidden splendor of a sea of stars, a nose that was tall and straight like a mountain, and lips that were thin like the edge of a blade. She seemed to be full of heroic spirit and possessed an extraordinary imposing manner.
Shen Luo guessed that this person was most likely the Eldest Princess Ao Yue that Qing Chi had mentioned.
On the other side of the dragon carriage stood a few women in various immortal dresses. They were either anxious or on the verge of tears. Their faces were full of sorrow, as if they were the other dragon ladies.
"Greetings, Dragon King." The three of them came forward and bowed, cupping their fists.
"Little friend Shen, I heard from Ao Hong that he was attacked by demons in the East Sea Bay. You saved him?" Dragon King Ao Guang's gaze swept across the few of them. He adjusted his body slightly and took the lead to ask Shen Luo.
Shen Luo heard and was about to speak when Ao Hong's voice sounded in his mind.
"Brother Shen, what we went through earlier, including the fact that you killed the three-headed Demon Snake, can you keep it a secret for me and not tell anyone?"
When Shen Luo heard this, although she did not know why, she still agreed.
"Ao Hong and I are old friends. We just happened to meet, so I lent him a hand," Shen Luo said.
"Was the one you fought with that Kun Peng demon?" Ao Guang continued to ask.
