Xiao Yuying entered the small courtyard.
Shuyu Dragon Lord stood by the pool, looking down at the three dragon eggs, seemingly unaware of her disciple’s arrival.
Xiao Yuying also did not speak, rely silently walking to Shuyu Dragon Lord’s side.
Shuyu Dragon Lord turned her palm upwards.
A colorful cloud reflected in the water, with fine rain imbued with spiritual energy gently dripping onto the three dragon eggs.
She possessed True Immortal cultivation and had noble bloodline, so even a casual act of hers would infuse the spirit rain with vibrant life force.
Though these three dragon eggs were still young, under the nourishnt of this vitality, it seed they had developed so instinctive spiritual wisdom—
As Shuyu Dragon Lord’s hand descended, the three dragon eggs all bounced together, their pointed heads rubbing against her palm.
Xiao Yuying could see that her master’s eyes were full of love and joy.
Such a simple ga, yet her master, who was a million years old, never tired of it and played again and again, more enthusiastically than usual.
After a long while, Shuyu Dragon Lord finally turned her head, glanced at Xiao Yuying, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
At the doorway, she suddenly looked back at the dragon eggs, gazing intently as if bidding farewell.
Xiao Yuying’s expression grew darker.
The master and disciple still said nothing, one following the other, leaving the Ziwei Yuan and stepping out of the Jiushan Realm.
"Master."
Xiao Yuying finally couldn’t hold back.
"Hmm?"
"...Nothing."
Xiao Yuying lowered her head again, what could she say?
Even if her master was determined, she was powerless to stop her.
No matter what the Shuyu Dragon Lord did, the grace of her teaching could not be forgotten.
Shuyu Dragon Lord looked deeply at her, suddenly asking, "Do you not wish to leave with ?"
Xiao Yuying replied through gritted teeth, "Yes!"
Shuyu Dragon Lord remained silent for a long ti, simply watching her quietly.
Xiao Yuying did not avoid her gaze, eting her master’s eyes directly.
"Was your Divinity Transformation smooth?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuying said softly, "Master Zheng changed my foundation and taught the True Skill of Jiushan, so the Divinity Transformation wasn’t difficult."
"True Skill of Jiushan..." Shuyu Dragon Lord repeated softly, "Did he keep any secrets?"
"No, what Zheng Fa cultivated, I cultivated the sa."
A smile appeared on Xiao Yuying’s face.
Shuyu Dragon Lord asked again, "In these days, has the attitude of the Jiushan Realm people towards you changed?"
"No."
Shuyu Dragon Lord squinted, "Really no change?"
"Truly no change, I do have so personal concerns, but everyone in Jiushan still treats the sa, and they have never hidden important matters from ."
Xiao Yuying’s tone was very certain.
Of course, she had to sign a confidentiality agreent.
But on the other hand, Jiushan Realm’s major affairs were indeed not hidden from her.
She was even present during the planning of the second fifty-year plan.
She even had a role in the formation of the Shenxiao Army—after all, her Thunder Skill cultivation was among the top three in the Jiushan Realm.
In fact, she felt a bit awkward herself.
Shuyu Dragon Lord looked deeply into her face, seemingly judging whether her words were true, then nodded after a long while, "Tell Zheng Fa that an Ancient Dragon Clan appeared in the North Sea, claiming to be the Cangming Dragon King."
Xiao Yuying’s eyes suddenly widened.
At last, she understood the reason behind her master’s recent peculiar behavior.
As a disciple, how could she not know her master’s yearning to be close to their kin?
Shuyu Dragon Lord continued, "I perceive that the Cangming Dragon King seems to aspire to swallow the four seas."
Xiao Yuying blinked.
The inclination in her master’s words seed to favor Jiushan Sect?
To be honest, she didn’t quite understand, her master had searched for kin for so many years!
Shuyu Dragon Lord seed to see her thoughts, smiled lightly, "You have not been wronged."
Xiao Yuying was stunned, and suddenly realized: "Master, was it intentional?"
"Intentional is not quite accurate, I am indeed caught in a dilemma." Shuyu Dragon Lord glanced eastward, as if looking out to the sea, "But Zheng Fa is no fool; he probably knew so things early on, yet still treated you as before..."
Xiao Yuying nodded repeatedly.
"Jiushan Sect nurtured dragon eggs for without delay or deceit, never resorting to underhanded ans."
Shuyu Dragon Lord’s words filled Xiao Yuying’s eyes with shock, making her feel as though she had never understood her own master.
"Master, do you frequently visit the Jiushan Realm to check on the dragon eggs?"
Shuyu Dragon Lord laughed, then suddenly said sothing even more incomprehensible to Xiao Yuying: "I am the last Ancient Dragon Clan of Xuanwei, do you know what that ans?"
"Disciple does not know."
"From birth, cultivators sought to capture and raise , even using for alchemy; if not for this vast sea’s protection, I would have long been skinned and dismbered, at the rcy of others."
Shuyu Dragon Lord continued to smile, but Xiao Yuying only felt a chill throughout her body.
She had never imagined that her master, so dominant in Xuanwei, had faced such difficult tis, but on reflection it made sense:
The True Dragon’s body was filled with treasures.
Even her master needed ti to grow.
A naive Ancient Dragon Clan without the care of any elders faced more malice than kindness.
Her master’s thoughts ran deeper than she ever knew.
Looking again into her master’s eyes, she felt they were clearer and more transparent than ever before.
"So, Master, that is why you wish to find kin?"
Shuyu Dragon Lord did not answer, but instead stepped into the clouds, leaving only one sentence echoing in Xiao Yuying’s ears:
"Finding a place for peace of mind is not easy; finding trustworthy friends is even harder."
...
Cangming Dragon Palace, invited by the Dragon King, Shuyu Dragon Lord ca to attend the feast again.
Perhaps having mastered this sea region, the dragon palace was livelier and more splendid than before.
rfolk played the zither, shell girls danced, the sound of jade flutes echoed, and the fish and dragon light twirled.
All the treasures of the four seas were piled on plates, strung together as pearls and jade, scattered on the ground.
Immortal wine filled the air with its fragrance, songs and dances lingered, the treasure light shining on the Dragon King’s smiling face made him appear even more enthusiastic.
