There were a few other families along the street around Zhao Yanzi's home, but the Mercedes-Benzes that were parked on the side of the road all spread out with Zhao Yanzi's home as the center. Obviously, they were all guests of Zhao Yanzi's home.
"Who are they?"
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were confused. They parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the house in a hurry.
This was the territory of East Ocean City, and it was under Hao Ren and Su Han's jurisdiction. No one would dare to cause trouble at the East Ocean Dragon King's house on land, right?
"Mom! I'm back! "Zhao Yanzi was worried. She pushed the door open and yelled on purpose.
"Come in!" Zhao Hongyu said from inside.
Zhao Yanzi was a bit relieved. She took out the key and opened the door. She was smart enough to take action immediately if something went wrong inside. At the same time, she gave Hao Ren some time to prepare.
There were dozens of strangers in the house.
Some were old people, and some were middle-aged. On the floor of the living room, there were a few heavy boxes.
"This is my daughter, Zhao Yanzi, and this is Hao Ren, the Fuma of the dragon palace," Zhao Guang introduced.
"What a talented couple … They are a perfect match for each other …"
All kinds of praises came over like a tide.
Hao Ren recognized that the person standing beside Zhao Guang was the wood-elemental elder of Yuhuang Mountain from the Dragon God Shrine's general exams, and the person beside him was the wood-elemental cultivator who was injured.
After a period of rest, this wood-elemental cultivator looked much better than before, but he was still a bit pale. It seemed like the First Elder of the wood-elemental Yuhuang Mountain felt that his disciple's injuries were no longer serious, so he hurried to the East Ocean Dragon Palace with him to express his gratitude.
"Ren, let me introduce you." Zhao Guang walked in front of Hao Ren and pointed at a wrinkled elder beside the elder. "This is the Dragon King of Yuhuang Mountain's Wood Dragon Palace, Ciyun Dragon King. This is the Wood Dragon Palace's First Elder, Elder Song. This is Elder Song's first disciple, Wu Yi."
Hao Ren cupped his hands and nodded. "Greetings, Dragon King."
The dragons in the world were divided into five elemental clans according to their elemental attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. As for the Water Dragon lineage, due to the fact that they were the most numerous and were the most widely distributed, they were further divided into four lineages, which were then divided into rivers, lakes, and seas.
Therefore, on the whole, the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas was only one level higher than the three branches of the Rivers and Lakes. They ruled the Water Dragon Tribe, but they maintained the same level as the other four branches of the Dragon Tribe.
In other words, the Yuhuang Mountain Wood Dragon Palace was theoretically on the same level as the East Ocean Dragon Palace. The East Ocean Dragon Clan could exert pressure on the Dongting Lake Dragon Clan, but they couldn't order the wood-elemental dragon clan to do anything.
The dragon clans in the rivers and lakes under the jurisdiction of East Ocean would pay tribute to the East Ocean Dragon Palace every year, and these dragon kings would also appear during the birthday of the East Ocean Dragon King or the big celebration of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. However, the wood-elemental dragon kings would never show up unless they had a good personal relationship and received a grand invitation.
As such, the wood dragon cultivators of the Jade Emperor Mountain lineage not only sent their grand elder to pay a special visit to Zhao Guang, but the dragon king of the Jade Emperor Mountain wood dragon lineage also came to pay a personal visit to Zhao Guang. This was a very high standard.
"No need to be so polite." Ciyun Dragon King held Hao Ren's arm lightly so that he didn't have to bow.
"This is Cangye Dragon King, Elder Xi, and Elder You from the Wood Dragon Palace of the Cangye Lake." Zhao Guang held Hao Ren's arm gently and continued the introduction.
Hao Ren immediately bowed again.
"This is Yingtian Dragon King from the Earth Dragon Palace of the Dragon Tiger Mountain, and Elder Ye, the First Elder …"
Hao Ren immediately cupped his hands and greeted them.
The rest of the people seemed to be the disciples of the three dragon kings and the elders, or they were elders of lower status. Zhao Guang didn't introduce them, so Hao Ren simply cupped his hands and turned around to show his respect.
"Zi, how can you be so rude!" Zhao Hongyu saw Zhao Yanzi standing in the middle with her backpack in her hand, and she called out lightly.
"Uncle! Uncle! Hello, everyone! "Zhao Yanzi greeted them with her crisp voice.
The three dragon kings and the elders all smiled kindly at Zhao Yanzi's lively behavior and didn't blame her at all.
"Please take a seat." Zhao Guang opened his palm toward the sofa.
Hao Ren knew that they had just arrived and hadn't sat down yet.
"Zi, go and make tea!" Zhao Guang said with a straight face.
Zhao Guang didn't have a maid at home, so he had to ask Zhao Yanzi to make tea. Zhao Yanzi put down her backpack and jogged into the kitchen with a smile on her face.
The three elders sat on the sofa one by one, and Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu sat on the same sofa.
The rest of the elders and disciples didn't dare to sit down. Hao Ren looked at the situation and didn't sit down rashly either.
"We came all the way here to thank the East Ocean Dragon Palace for helping our wood-elemental disciple, Wu Yi, during the Dragon God Shrine's general exams."
Ciyun Dragon King, who looked the oldest, looked at Zhao Guang and said slowly.
"We, the five-elemental dragon clans, are of the same origin. It's only right for us to support each other," Zhao Guang said politely.
Zhao Guang was surprised by the sudden visit of the three dragon kings. If he didn't know that the three dragon kings and their elders had entered East Ocean City through the intelligence network of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Zhao Guang would still be dealing with some business in Mingri Group.
"We wanted to visit the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but we were afraid that Dragon King Zhao's hospitality would be too grand. Therefore, after some discussion, we decided to visit your home." Ciyun Dragon King looked at the other two dragon kings and said, "Cangye Dragon King from Cangye Lake and Yingtian Dragon King from Longhu Mountain have been my good friends for many years. Therefore, I invited them to come and visit."
"The tea is here!"
Zhao Yanzi shouted at this moment. She carried a plate with five to six cups of top-grade Tieguanyin tea to the center of the living room and placed them on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa.
"Please have some tea!" Zhao Guang said.
The three dragon kings picked up the teacups and took a sip. Then, they nodded and put the teacups back on the glass coffee table.
"It's an honor for the three dragon kings to gather at East Ocean. East Ocean is thousands of miles away from Yuhuang Mountain, Cangye Lake, and Longhu Mountain.
We should communicate more, "Zhao Guang said with a smile.
He wasn't as old as the three dragon kings, but his communication skills weren't bad at all. It might be a good thing or a bad thing for the three dragon kings to come over, so Zhao Guang couldn't be too hasty.
Yuhuang Mountain's wood-elemental dragon clan was quite influential among the dragon cultivators in the southwest region. Cangye Lake and Longhu Mountain couldn't be said to be affiliated with Yuhuang Mountain's wood-elemental dragon clan, but they followed Yuhuang Mountain's interests.
In fact, Cangye Lake and Longhu Mountain were not small forces in the southwest region. They were at least equivalent to East Ocean's Dongting Lake. Each of them had tens of thousands of cultivators. Especially in the southwest region, there weren't many bodies of water. Those places were mostly controlled by wood-elemental and earth-elemental dragons, so they couldn't be underestimated.
Therefore, there was a reason why Zhao Guang was being extra cautious.
"Hehehe …" Ciyun Dragon King from Yuhuang Mountain probably saw Zhao Guang's hesitation, so he waved his hand.
The disciples standing behind the sofa immediately opened all the boxes on the floor.
There was a box full of 10,000-year-old agarwood, a box full of Purple Gold Sand, a box full of black pine cones, and a box full of ancient tree root that emitted dense nature essence …
"A small gift to thank the East Ocean Dragon Palace for helping Yuhuang Mountain," Ciyun Dragon King stroked his beard. Ciyun Dragon King stroked his beard and said, "Wu Yi is a good talent that Yuhuang Mountain has been training for hundreds of years. If he dies in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams, we will suffer a great loss."
Zhao Guang didn't know what was in the boxes, so he was a little cautious. Now that he saw the extremely precious gifts in the boxes, he was completely relieved.
He knew that the elders of Yuhuang Mountain brought the other two dragon kings over without any other intentions, so he hurriedly said, "These gifts are too precious. How can we, East Ocean, accept them!"
Agarwood and Purple Gold Sand were both great materials for making dharma treasures, especially 10,000-year-old agarwood. It was resistant to fire and water, and even a small piece of it could be made into a jade pendant with an array formation engraved on it. It would be an extremely effective defensive dharma treasure, let alone an entire box!
The black pine cones were materials for making elixir pills. Of course, if one didn't make elixir pills, they could just soak it in water and consume it. It was also very effective for the water-elemental dragon clan, and Ciyun Dragon King was generous enough to give away an entire box of it!
As for that simple and unadorned tree root, there was no need to look at it to know that it was definitely an excellent item.
Zhao Yanzi stood quietly beside Hao Ren, and she turned to look at him with excitement in her eyes. Three Dragon Kings came to her house and specially came over to give her gifts. This was something she had never experienced before.
The dragon palaces of the rivers and lakes usually sent gifts to East Ocean by the Prime Ministers or Elders of the dragon palaces, and the dragon kings wouldn't come personally. However, the Wood Dragon Palace and the Earth Dragon Palace, which had nothing to do with each other, came all the way here to send gifts!
In fact, even Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang had never seen something like this before!
Regardless of whether the gifts were valuable or not, the fact that the three dragon kings came to East Ocean City to visit Zhao Guang meant that they wanted to befriend him. This was a strong signal!
The East Ocean Dragon Clan was going to rise!
"Don't worry about it, Dragon King Zhao." Ciyun Dragon King looked up at Hao Ren who was behind Zhao Guang and said, "Dragon King Zhao's Fuma Hao is indeed a genius!"
Obviously, they had seen Hao Ren's performance in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams, and they must have known that Hao Ren had become a level 3 inspector.
Zhao Guang smiled in satisfaction and turned to look at Hao Ren with affection in his eyes.
"I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if Dragon King Zhao can fulfill it?" Ciyun Dragon King asked.
"Go ahead!" Zhao Guang said generously.
