Chapter 67

"Very well, Immortal Master, this King will bring my little daughter over immediately!"

A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Ao Guang's eyes, and he hurriedly ordered someone to invite the Dragon Princess.

Seeing this, Hongxuan and Yunxiao were even more puzzled.

Although Hongxuan is a disciple of the Jie Sect, there is no need to go to such lengths, is there?

Moreover, he is not even a Daluo Jinxian, but a mere Taiyi Jinxian.

Yet he is so eager.

Could it be that this little Dragon Princess is not favored by Ao Guang?

Soon, a lively girl dressed in green walked in.

This girl had two cute, protruding dragon horns on her forehead.

"Ling'er pays her respects to Father!"

The little Dragon Princess Ao Ling'er hopped happily to Ao Guang's side and immediately performed a bow.

"Ling'er, come quickly and pay your respects to the two Immortal Masters."

"For this time, Father has specifically found a teacher for you; you must cultivate the Dao diligently under the Immortal Master's tutelage and must not be as unruly as you were in the past!"

"Father, is my teacher this pretty sister?"

Ao Ling'er looked at Yunxiao first, while automatically ignoring Hongxuan.

It was very obvious that she could see Yunxiao was far more powerful than Hongxuan.

Only a Daluo Jinxian would be qualified to be her teacher.

Hongxuan remained silent.

The little Dragon Princess Ao Ling'er before him was already at the Golden Core perfection, and it was estimated that she could break through to Taiyi Jinxian at any moment.

What could he possibly teach her?

Ao Guang's behavior was full of deception.

"It is not Lady Yunxiao, but Immortal Master Hongxuan beside her!"

Upon hearing this, the little Dragon Princess pouted, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with this future master.

His strength does not seem to be enough!

He is only one small realm higher than her.

If it weren't for her being playful in the past, she would have already reached Taiyi Jinxian.

If she surpasses the person before her in the future, would he still be qualified to teach her?

Hongxuan did not mind the little Dragon Princess's reaction in the slightest.

He quietly circulated his Truth-Shattering Divine Eyes to examine her carefully.

He even employed his not-so-proficient Great Destiny Art (embryonic form), wanting to find if there was anything amiss.

If there were any schemes involved, he could be on guard early.

Once the Wood Spirit Bead was in hand, it would not be too late to make other plans.

What was unexpected, however, was that he saw a trace of extremely obscure death energy at the center of the little Dragon Princess's brow.

It was rooted in the deepest part of her Primordial Spirit.

As for everything else.

She was a perfectly normal dragon girl.

Not only that, this girl's foundation was extraordinary, and her talent for cultivation was even more so.

He looked at Yunxiao, and Yunxiao also nodded calmly in acknowledgment.

Hongxuan let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ao Guang:

"Dragon King, this poor Daoist agrees to your conditions."

"I wonder if the Wood Spirit Bead can be brought out now?"

"That is only natural!"

Ao Guang nodded repeatedly, then looked at the little Dragon Princess:

"Ling'er, why don't you hurry and pay your respects to the Immortal Master, and perform the apprenticeship ceremony?"

"Do you still remember what Father told you before?"

The little Dragon Princess was slightly stunned, as if she had remembered something, and then she obediently stepped forward and bowed:

"Disciple Ao Ling'er is willing to take the Immortal Master as her teacher; I ask that Master please accept this disciple!"

At the same time, she took out the Wood Spirit Bead and handed it over.

Hongxuan nodded; in his view, this apprenticeship was nothing more than a transaction.

Whether he could truly trust the dragon girl before him would depend on her future performance.

Hongxuan accepted the Wood Spirit Bead without the slightest bit of courtesy, and only after verifying it was genuine did he feel at ease.

This plan to obtain the Wood Spirit Bead had been successfully achieved.

Although he had gained an extra "cheap" disciple, it was acceptable.

As long as she did not harbor ill intentions, with her decent talent, he could still provide some guidance.

He could even help her purge the death energy from the depths of her Primordial Spirit.

"From now on, you are the eldest disciple under this poor Daoist's tutelage; I hope you will not commit any acts of betraying your master or ancestors."

"Otherwise, even if you have the Dragon Clan backing you, this poor Daoist will certainly destroy you!"

He set a precaution first to avoid any messy entanglements later.

Seeing this, the East Sea Dragon King also seemed to heave a sigh of relief, a look of comfort appearing on his face.

Soon, a Dragon Palace attendant stepped forward again and handed a jade box into Hongxuan's hands.

"Immortal Master, this is an apprenticeship gift I have specially prepared for my little daughter; I ask that you please accept it!"

"Please, Immortal Master, look after my little daughter in the future."

"This King thanks you here!"

Hongxuan felt a bit embarrassed, but his skin was thick enough, so he did not decline and accepted it immediately.

As long as the little Dragon Princess had no malicious intent, he would naturally treat her with sincerity and teach her everything he should with all his heart.

Conversely, if she harbored malice and schemes.

He would inevitably settle the score with the Dragon Palace in the future.

He hoped that day would never come.

For the next few days, Hongxuan and Yunxiao stayed in the Dragon Palace, being treated with great hospitality by Ao Guang.

Of course.

The little Dragon Princess also had a final farewell with her family.

Once everything was finished, Hongxuan and Yunxiao took the little Dragon Princess and left the Dragon Palace, flying in the direction of the Three Immortals Island.

After Hongxuan and Yunxiao departed, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang straightened his expression, adjusted his attire, and walked toward the depths of the Dragon Palace.

Soon, he arrived before a secret realm shrouded by a grand formation.

He opened the formation using a special hand seal.

Ao Guang stepped inside.

In an instant, he appeared in a place that was ancient, vast, solemn, and magnificent.

The Ancient Dragon Court, once built by the Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Clan.

Now it had become the graveyard of the Dragon Clan.

No one expected that the Ancient Dragon Abyss was hidden in the deepest part of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

"Dragon Clan descendant Ao Guang pays his respects to Ancestor Zhulong!"

"Come in!"

"Ao Guang, you are not staying in the Dragon Palace; what business brings you to the Dragon Abyss?"

"Ancestor, the existence you once divined who could help our Dragon Clan has arrived at the Dragon Palace recently."

"This junior has already followed your instructions and befriended this person."

"Furthermore, this junior has also let Ling'er take this person as her master!"

"Oh? Has he truly appeared? Was what the Azure Dragon said back then actually true? Is there really such a person?"

The majestic voice also carried a trace of inexplicable surprise.

Immediately, Ao Guang told Zhulong everything about Hongxuan in detail.
