Wu Shuai was wise and decisive, he had great foresight and had a strong personality, he did not have the weakness of most dragonman Gu Immortals. Under his development, the dragonman race's strength rose steadily.
In the dark, he had been gathering resources secretly, he did not forget about the construction of a rank eight Immortal Gu House.
However, good times did not last long, the dragonman race's strength was increasingly criticized by the humans, they started to do more and more things in the dark. Many people were envious. In fact, even Wu Shuai himself admitted that the reason why the dragonman race became strong was because they took over the benefits of the human Gu Immortals.
But because of Duke Long, the human Gu Immortals would not make things difficult for him publicly.
Duke Long's birthday was a joyous occasion.
The red 'Longevity' character in the hall was very eye-catching.
Duke Long sat at the main seat, surrounded by dragonmen.
Dragonman Gu Immortals walked up one after another, presenting their carefully prepared gifts.
"Lord father, I wish you great fortune and longevity." A dragonman Gu Immortal presented a bundle of white dragon grass.
This grass was an immemorial desolate plant, it contained dragon nature, it was shaped like a white dragon, its scales and horns were very exquisite.
"Father, I wish you great fortune and longevity." Another dragonman Gu Immortal presented a soft jade cherry.
"Lord father, I congratulate you …" Wu Shuai's father also appeared.
Duke Long had a solemn expression, he only nodded, there were attendants around him who received these gifts.
After the change of the sons' generation, it was time for the grandchildren.
At this time, Duke Long's expression became gentle, he showed a smile.
"Grandfather, I wish you great fortune and longevity! I wish you great fortune and longevity. This is a desolate beast that I personally hunted for you, I hope you like it. " A dragonman youngster half-knelt on the ground, he held a plate with both hands, there was an exquisite little seahorse on the plate.
"This is the desolate beast joy seahorse, it is very fast and hard to kill."
"Seventh young master only has rank six cultivation level, it is already very difficult to hunt it, to think that he managed to capture it alive!"
"I heard that in order to capture this joy seahorse, Seventh Young Master hid in the sea for a month without moving, his filial piety is truly touching."
The surrounding people discussed, there were also human Gu Immortals participating in this grand banquet.
Xiao Qi was Duke Long's most beloved grandson, Duke Long had an affectionate smile on his face as he personally received the plate with the seahorse: "Good, good, good, Xiao Qi, grandpa will accept your congratulatory gift."
However, when it was Wu Shuai's turn to congratulate him, Duke Long's smile disappeared and he just looked at Wu Shuai. "Little Eight, at present, among the grandchildren, you have the greatest achievements, but you must remember the principle of going too far is as bad as not doing enough."
"Yes, Grandfather." Wu Shuai respectfully retreated.
Late at night, Duke Long secretly sent someone to summon Wu Shuai to his study.
"Return that Southflower Island to them, Little Eight," Duke Long said.
Wu Shuai was startled, he forced a smile and said, "Grandpa, you don't know this, but I won this South Flower Island fair and square. I plan to make this island my home to settle my clansmen."
Duke Long had a solemn expression, a sharp light shined in his eyes, piercing Wu Shuai's face: "Wu Shuai, don't think that no one can see through your tricks! Southflower Island was originally Wind Cloud Manor's territory, but you schemed and took it. What are you trying to do? Isn't it better to lead your clansmen and stay in the sect? Why do you want to move your clansmen to Southflower Island? Tell me, what are you trying to do? "
Wu Shuai held his breath, he was silent for a while before saying: "Grandfather, I do not have any ambitions, I just want to give my clansmen a better life."
"A better life? It is a greater ambition! "Duke Long said in a low voice.
Wu Shuai's body shook, he said frankly: "Grandfather, even if it is ambition, so what? Shouldn't we be ambitious? Should we not strive for a better life? "
"Why do we have to live here? Grandfather, don't you know how these human Gu Immortals are ostracizing and exploiting us? "
"What ostracizing? How is this exploitation? All these years, I have heard of your deeds many times. Do you know why I love Xiao Qi? Because he thinks that the world is beautiful, he is kind from the bottom of his heart, there is no distinction between humans and dragons. But you? You use my name to act unscrupulously outside, annexing other people's territories and embezzling the sect's profits. Stop your actions now! "Duke Long said sternly.
"Grandfather, if not for these human Gu Immortals treating us like this, why would we do this?"
"What human, dragonman, dragonman are humans to begin with, how can there be a distinction between races?!" Duke Long rebuked.
"If there is no distinction between races, then what are the dragon horns on my forehead, what is the dragon tail on my back?" Wu Shuai became enraged and shouted, "Grandpa, you are a human who has turned into a dragonman. Most of your life has been a human, and the life of a dragonman is only a small part of your life."
"But what about us?"
"Grandfather, have you ever thought about it! We were born as dragonmen. From the moment we were born, we grew horns on our heads and tails on our backs. "
"I have been educated by my parents since I was young, they told me that we originated from humans. But since young, my peers have been making fun of my appearance, ostracizing me, pulling on my dragon tail and poking at my dragon scales. All of this tells me that I'm different from the human race! "
"After I grew up, I found that not just my peers, even those human teachers have a different opinion of me, they just do not show it on the surface."
"If I fail, they will say that I am a dragonman, it is normal for me to lose to humans. If I succeed, they will say that a dragonman can actually do this, is he using some tricks? "
"Those humans always think that they are the highest, we dragonmen are inferior races. Why? "
"Humans are the spirit of all living beings, but we dragonmen are not inferior either. We dragonmen are born with enslavement path dao marks, our physique far surpasses humans, if not for human Gu Masters using Gu worms, their punches and kicks cannot even break our dragon scales. And most importantly, we have long lifespans, while humans have short lifespans. "
"Many Gu Immortals have turned into dragonmen to prolong their lifespans. They have clearly abandoned their human identity, but they still belittle the existence of dragonmen, this is all because of their rotten beliefs. "
"Enough!" Duke Long slammed the table, interrupting Wu Shuai, his expression was dark.
"Not enough." Wu Shuai's voice became calm, he looked back at Duke Long bravely, enduring the pressure in his dragon eyes: "Grandfather, you created the dragonman lifespan extension method, without you, there would be no dragonmen. You are the ancestor of us dragonmen, but why do you always side with those humans? We're your real family! Even if I die, I will not return South Flower Island. If Grandpa insists on me doing this, he will only let me die. "
Saying this, Wu Shuai ignored Duke Long's expression, he turned around and walked out of the door.
Duke Long did not stand up to stop him, he was still sitting on the chair, he had a complex feeling.
"Sigh … my descendants have all grown up, they have their own thoughts now."
"But they have never truly cared about the bigger picture of humanity."
"Did I not teach them well? Or has the dragonman race already turned into a flood, and I am only the hand that is opening the floodgates? "
Wind Cloud Manor was schemed against by Wu Shuai, after realizing it, they tried to mediate this matter with Duke Long, trying to take back South Flower Island, but Wu Shuai could not persuade them, he was insistent.
Wind Cloud Manor did not give up, they used all sorts of methods to make things difficult for Wu Shuai.
Wu Shuai dealt with everything that came his way, he dealt with everything that came his way, trying to maintain the situation. Duke Long did not help his grandson, but most of the other dragonman Gu Immortals did help, they were either in the open or in the dark.
Relying on these people's help, and because Wind Cloud Manor was wary of Duke Long, they did not go overboard with their methods, Wu Shuai managed to relocate his tribe and live on South Flower Island.
But the matter of South Flower Island was not over.
Even after a hundred years, Wind Cloud Manor was still thinking about it, they tried to take back South Flower Island from time to time.
Wu Shuai was very busy, his methods were flawless, Wind Cloud Manor could not succeed.
"The hundred year plan has finally come to fruition!" On this day, Wu Shuai looked at the Immortal Gu House in front of him as he shed tears of excitement.
Back then, he wanted to take South Flower Island because he needed a secret place to build the Immortal Gu House.
Wu Shuai's father was beside him, he had an expression of disbelief: "You really did it! My son, you are more capable than me. "
"Even though these years, all the sects have been suppressing and sealing South Flower Island, I had many fortuitous encounters and obtained many resources. At the same time, with the help and contributions of many dragonman Gu Immortals, after a hundred years, I finally created this rank seven Immortal Gu House. " Wu Shuai smiled: "In a few hundred years, I might even have a rank eight Immortal Gu House."
"This house has not been named yet, right?" Wu Shuai's father asked.
"The Gu Immortals in the tribe have their own suggestions, but as the creator, I went against everyone's wishes and named it — Dragon Court!" Saying this, Wu Shuai's voice became louder as his eyes shined with bright light.
"Dragon Court?" Wu Shuai's father's expression changed: "Isn't this … a little inappropriate?"
"Hahaha, what is inappropriate about it? It is to be in agreement with Celestial Court! "Wu Shuai laughed loudly.
"Son, why don't you think about it a little more? In the eyes of these human Gu Immortals, Dragon Court is not in agreement with Celestial Court, it is in opposition to it. "
"Hehe." Wu Shuai snickered coldly: "What they think is their problem."
"You cannot say that, after all, humans are the overlords of the five regions."
