Time froze.
After saying that, Zhao Yanzi shrunk back a little nervously.
Zhao Guang's face froze as well.
He held the chopsticks …
Bang!
The chopsticks slammed heavily on the table, and all the plates and plates on the table shook slightly.
Zhao Hongyu was a bit worried. She sat in the middle and looked at Zhao Guang and then at Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi shrugged in fear, but her little face was still stiff, showing that she didn't want to back down.
"Zi, what are you talking about?" Sensing Zhao Guang's anger, Zhao Hongyu immediately scolded Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and stared at Zhao Guang across the table.
She had thought about it last night. Since the East Ocean Dragon Clan was heartless, she would rather stand on Hao Ren's side.
"You will be grounded for ten days to calm down," Zhao Guang said lightly.
Zhao Hongyu wanted to say something, but Zhao Guang glanced at her, and she had to swallow her words.
"You are getting more and more outrageous!" Zhao Guang stood up and walked into his study room, not even wanting to eat anymore.
Zhao Hongyu frowned and looked at Zhao Yanzi reproachfully before looking at Hao Ren helplessly.
"Hongyu, take her to the East Ocean Dragon Palace and hand her over to the Enforcement Elder!" Zhao Guang's voice came from the study room.
"Well, let's go." Zhao Hongyu didn't dare to disobey Zhao Guang. She reached out and patted Zhao Yanzi's head before grabbing her wrist and standing up.
"Mom! What's the meaning of this! I won't accept it! "Zhao Yanzi shook her shoulders and struggled.
Zhao Hongyu waved her left hand, and a red light flashed by. Then, Zhao Yanzi couldn't make a sound anymore.
"Ren, don't worry. Grounded means that you will have to eat plain food in the dragon palace for ten days," Zhao Hongyu comforted Hao Ren.
In fact, Hao Ren didn't know about Zhao Yanzi's decision. However, Zhao Guang would definitely fly into a rage if he wanted to cut ties with his parents so easily.
Zhao Hongyu pulled Zhao Yanzi out of the door and into her SUV.
Seeing that Zhao Yanzi was about to be sent back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Hao Ren stopped Zhao Hongyu.
"Auntie, Zi was impulsive. You don't have to do this, right?" Hao Ren said.
Zhao Hongyu turned her head and glanced at the study room. "Let him cool down."
"What about the classes?" Hao Ren asked.
"I'll ask for a sick leave from the teacher. As for the homework, it's going to be the final exam, so I'll just do some general revision. Let Zi study by herself in the Dragon Palace," Zhao Hongyu said.
"How about I stay with her?" Hao Ren looked at Zhao Yanzi who was unconvinced and said.
Zhao Hongyu smiled helplessly. "There's no need for that. Confinement is confinement. Zi was disobedient when she was young. This is a common punishment."
She thought for a moment. "But you can still visit her every day."
Zhao Hongyu sympathized with Zhao Yanzi, but she also understood Zhao Guang. When Zhao Guang was busy dealing with the dragon palace, Zhao Yanzi was adding fuel to the fire. How could Zhao Guang not be mad?
When she was little, Zhao Yanzi was very naughty. She went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to play and burned down a palace, but Zhao Guang only grounded her for 20 days. This punishment was considered light.
A daughter wanting to sever ties with her father was a huge blow to a father! Zhao Yanzi only wanted to show her attitude, but it touched Zhao Guang's nerve.
Zhao Hongyu took Zhao Yanzi to the car and quickly drove out of the garage.
Hao Ren stood at the door of Zhao Yanzi's home and saw the light in the study room was still on. After a moment of consideration, he pushed the door open and walked to the door of the study room.
Zhao Guang was sitting on a chair with some messy documents in front of him, still sulking.
"Uncle," Hao Ren greeted him lightly.
Zhao Guang looked up at Hao Ren. "Sit."
Hao Ren pulled a chair over and sat across from Zhao Guang. There was a sandalwood desk between them.
It was the first time that the Dragon King and the Fuma had a formal conversation.
"Zi is immature. Don't be angry," Hao Ren broke the silence and said.
"She has been worrying about me since she was born." Zhao Guang gritted his teeth.
"When is the Dragon Tribe Conference that we talked about?" Hao Ren asked.
Zhao Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Hao Ren nodded and understood. With the current situation of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, it seemed like they couldn't summon all the parties to the conference in advance.
In the past, the West Ocean Dragon Clan controlled the absolute power, and the East Ocean Dragon Clan controlled the absolute wealth. The South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan sat on opposite sides, and the East Ocean Dragon Clan made all the decisions regarding the water-elemental dragon clan. The other clans followed, and the East Ocean Dragon Clan seemed to be the leader of the water-elemental dragon clan.
However, the situation now seemed to be different.
The big brothers also took turns to sit on the throne. The West Ocean Dragon Clan wanted to suppress the East Ocean Dragon Clan with force. The South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan seemed to agree with the East Ocean Dragon Clan on the surface, but they also wanted the right to speak for the entire water-elemental dragon clan.
However, the East Ocean Dragon Clan handled the major affairs of the Dragon Tribe in an orderly manner, especially in the business on land. The East Ocean Dragon Clan was one step ahead and had become a super corporation, and the other clans couldn't find a chance to step on it.
The incident with the West Ocean Dragon Clan was a fuse, and it made the South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan move closer to the West Ocean Dragon Clan. The remaining small forces in the rivers and lakes also quickly adjusted their strategies.
These were the things that Zhao Guang was worried about, and in Zhao Guang's mind, these were things that Hao Ren couldn't understand. That was why Zhao Guang didn't blame Hao Ren for destroying the West Ocean Dragon Clan. Instead, he blamed himself for not understanding the situation clearly.
Sitting in Zhao Guang's position, he had to understand that some people could be beaten, but he had to know when to stop.
It was not easy to be the leader, especially when it involved tens of millions of members of the Ocean Tribe.
The bigger the thing, the harder it was to control the balance. One careless move could cause the West Ocean Dragon Tribe to lose its status in the Dragon Tribe, and the business on land that they had been managing for decades would rapidly shrink.
"Ren, you can go back now. Let me think about something, "seeing that Hao Ren was still sitting across from him, Zhao Guang said abruptly.
"Ok. Take care of yourself, Uncle." Hao Ren stood up and looked at Zhao Guang, feeling that Zhao Guang had become much more tired these days.
Walking out of the house, Hao Ren looked up at the sky.
"A storm is coming …"
Suddenly, Hao Ren sighed. He took Little White out of the necklace and dashed into the sky.
He was supposed to go back to his dorm room to sleep, but he changed his mind after returning to the sky. He took Little White and went to Fifth Heaven.
Although the East Ocean Dragon Clan was wealthy, it was still too weak. If the East Ocean Dragon Clan had more than 30 Qian-level and Kun-level elders, the South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan wouldn't dare to cause trouble, and the West Ocean Dragon Clan wouldn't dare to provoke them.
In the end, strength was the king!
If one wanted to win people over with virtue, one must have strength first!
Boom!
After breaking through Fifth Heaven, Little White hovered at a high speed and arrived at Ethereal Summit.
Just like the night on First Heaven, Fifth Heaven was pitch-black. However, the stars and moon seemed to be so close to their heads that they could reach out and pick them up.
If this was the case on Fifth Heaven, what about Sixth Heaven, Seventh Heaven, Eighth Heaven, and even Ninth Heaven? With the power of the stars, one's cultivation speed would increase by ten times or even a hundred times!
Ethereal Summit was still enshrouded in clouds and mist, giving it a mysterious feeling in the night.
Little White's demon beast aura was still lingering here, so there were no sounds of insects or birds in the valley. All the creatures didn't dare to come within 100 meters of the valley!
Fifth Heaven was full of small sects, and only some mid-tier sects on and above Sixth Heaven could raise spirit beasts. That was why Little White was the king on Fifth Heaven!
Hao Ren flew into the cave abode that he had built during the day. None of the tables and chairs had been moved.
Little White spread its front legs and hind legs and spread out at the entrance of the cave abode, dozing off while guarding the door for Hao Ren.
"Here you go!" Hao Ren remembered that he still had some elixir pills in his necklace, so he took them out and threw them to Little White.
Crunch! Crunch!
Little White swallowed all these rare elixirs into its stomach as if it was biting peas.
After making sure that there were no problems, Hao Ren sat on the stone bed and began to cultivate.
The nature essence on Fifth Heaven was three times more intense than on land, and the nature essence in the valley was two times more intense. Hao Ren could absorb nature essence for one hour here, which was equivalent to four to five hours of cultivation on land.
Time flew by in the clouds and mist.
Two figures flew across the sky above Ethereal Summit.
"Hehe, Gongzi is cultivating here. No wonder he was so secretive."
"Ok, let's patrol for Gongzi. Little White is still a young spirit beast, and it won't be able to handle a real opponent."
"What should we do if a master comes?"
"Of course. We'll knock it out and throw it out. You silly sister. "
"Ok, ok. Then we'll do as you say …"
The two figures whispered to each other as they flew to the other side of the valley.
During this process, Little White was sleeping soundly and didn't know that two figures were flying in the valley.
Below First Heaven, at the platform of the East Ocean City Train Station, Wang Xi, who sparred with Hao Ren last time, was about to get on the train with a blue cloth bag on his back.
"Brother, are you going to start the special training again when we get back?" Wang Hui, who was wearing brand-name sportswear, stood behind the railing and asked Wang Xi.
"Yeah. I suddenly felt a sign of breaking through to Xun-level when I came to East Ocean City. There is still one month before the general exams at the Dragon God Shrine, and I might be able to make it," Wang Xi nodded and said.
"Xun-level? Then, wouldn't you be at Kun-level if you get stronger? "Wang Hui said immediately.
"It's not that simple. However, if you reach Xun-level, you should be able to become an official inspector," Wang Xi said with sparkling eyes.
"Oh," he suddenly remembered something. "You are still not a match for the person who sparred with me in the dojo. Don't mess with him."
"Ok, I got it," Wang Hui answered.
Wang Xi narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. "He is only on Zhen-level. If I break through to Xun-level, I can defeat him with one hand. However, his cultivation technique is very special, and he will probably participate in the general exams at the Dragon God Shrine. "
"Yeah, beat him up!" Wang Hui yelled.
"Humph! I'll let him know what true strength is! We, the Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan, are not to be trifled with! "Wang Xi narrowed his eyes again, clenched his fists, and turned to get on the train.
