Chapter 112

"Father King, I want it!"

"You promised me before that you would let me be initiated under a Saint. You cannot go back on your word!"

"..."

Inside the East Sea Dragon Palace, a dragon girl with a slender and graceful figure, wearing a red long dress, was pulling on the East Sea Dragon King, who was wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown, and had a majestic and domineering face, acting like a spoiled child.

But facing such a cute dragon princess, the East Sea Dragon King at this moment was full of helplessness and depression, and said with a somewhat regretful tone: "Oh my, my little princess, this matter is not easy to handle, so don't make things difficult for your Father King."

"That time was just drunken talk when your father was drunk; how can that be taken seriously?"

"You should know that my Dragon Clan was the overlord of the ancient era; although we have now faded, we are still the target of public criticism."

"Under such circumstances, it is already very good that we can guard our own little plot of land. Wanting to be apprenticed to a Saint is basically an impossible thing."

"Let alone your Father King, even if your several uncles came together, plus the treasures of my Four Seas Dragon Clan, it would not be enough to make a Saint look at us highly, let alone take us as disciples!"

At this moment, the East Sea Dragon King was extremely regretful of his greed for the cup back then. If it were not for his boastfulness after drinking, he would not be pestered by this little girl now.

"Father King, you are lying!"

Princess Ao Yu looked indignant, and was obviously not very happy about the East Sea Dragon King's broken promise.

However, she did not give up because of this, and still pulling the arm of the East Sea Dragon King, she said: "Father King, didn't Tongtian Jiaozhu of Golden Turtle Island take in tens of thousands of disciples? Why don't I have a chance!"

"Tens of thousands of cultivators have all joined the Jie Sect; is there not room for one more of me!"

Hearing this, Ao Guang touched Ao Yu's head somewhat helplessly, and then sighed: "Silly daughter, it is true that the Jie Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, but in reality, ninety-nine percent of them are registered disciples!"

"A registered disciple at most obtains the nominal protection of the Tongtian Saint; as long as they don't actively cause trouble, there will be no danger, but in reality, there are no benefits, and even the cultivation methods of the Jie Sect are only entry-level existences."

"Furthermore, regarding the Outer Sect Disciples, although they are one in a hundred and number in the hundreds, in reality, this group of people also has no status or position. It is fine if they don't commit offenses, but if they violate the rules of the Jie Sect, they will be dealt with in minutes."

"The disciples in the true sense are the four Personal Disciples of Tongtian Jiaozhu, as well as those dozen or so Inner Disciples; these are the true disciples of a Saint, while the rest are just a name."

"Your Father King can indeed get you a name, but so what? You cannot even enter Golden Turtle Island, let alone cultivate and study within it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ao Yu suddenly nodded in realization.

She really did not expect that there were so many twists and turns among the Jie Sect disciples, and that the gap between each disciple was so huge.

However, precisely because of this, she lowered her head with some disappointment at this moment.

After all, being initiated under a Saint was something countless cultivators dreamed of, but if it were only a so-called registered disciple, then it indeed did not have much meaning for her.

"Dragon King!"

"Dragon King!"

At this time, a cry came.

Prime Minister Turtle ran in in a hurry.

After seeing Princess Ao Yu, his body trembled subconsciously, as if he had seen some creature he feared.

But at this moment, he could not care about so much, and hurriedly collected his inner emotions and saluted: "Dragon King, an Inner Disciple of the Jie Sect is visiting!"

"The shrimp soldiers have already led him toward the Dragon Palace; it is said that he wants to make a trade with the Dragon King using pills!"

Hearing this, the East Sea Dragon King frowned.

An Inner Disciple of the Jie Sect wanting to trade with him was indeed unexpected information.

After all, although he had some friendship with Jie Sect disciples before, they were at most some Outer Sect Disciples or registered disciples; to be honest, this was the first time he had seen an Inner Disciple.

Thinking of this, the East Sea Dragon King immediately said: "Prime Minister Turtle, go and invite him in!"

"After all, he is a disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, and an Inner Disciple at that; he himself is not to be underestimated."

"This King will go to the reception hall and wait now!"

"Yes, Dragon King!"

Answering, Prime Minister Turtle breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around and left the palace in a hurry.

After Prime Minister Turtle left, the East Sea Dragon King stood up and said: "Alright, Little Yu'er, your Father King still has important things to do, so you go back to your mother's place to play!"

After speaking, the East Sea Dragon King also left this place in a hurry.

Besides Lin Fan's arrival, the more important thing was that it was hard to face Ao Yu.

After all, the boast he made himself could not be realized now, which was indeed a bit embarrassing, especially since the object of this boast was his own daughter.

"An Inner Disciple of the Jie Sect!"

However, Ao Yu had no intention of leaving at this moment; her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be lost in some thought.

After a long while, a smile appeared on her face, and a playful look flashed in her eyes. She carefully followed the East Sea Dragon King out, obviously not intending to obey the order to return to the inner palace.

"Lin Fan of the Jie Sect greets the East Sea Dragon King!"

In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, Lin Fan walked in under the guidance of Prime Minister Turtle and cupped his hands in a salute to the East Sea Dragon King on the dragon throne.

At the same time, Lin Fan's gaze also subconsciously sized up the other party.

In the records of later generations, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang was just a comedic character; after the Sea-Stabilizing Needle was snatched away by Sun Wukong, he ran to the Heavenly Court to complain, giving people the feeling that his status was extremely pathetic.

But in reality, the East Sea Dragon King was not to be underestimated.

After all, he was a pure-blooded True Dragon who had survived from the ancient era. With just one glance, Lin Fan could feel the terrifying magic power contained within his body; his starting point was at least at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

From this, it could be seen that the portrayal of the Dragon King in the Journey to the West era was absolutely a smear, or perhaps the monkey's backing was too big, coupled with the fact that Journey to the West itself had the personal manipulation of a Saint, so even the Dragon Clan had to comply with it.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan could not help but secretly think: "What a pity, an existence that was once at its peak in the ancient era; who would have thought that the further it went, the less sense of presence it would have, and even things like dragon liver and phoenix marrow could become dishes."

"In the end, it is because there are no top-tier powerhouses who can hold up the scene. If the Dragon Clan had a Saint, or even a Half-Saint, they would not be so miserable or even fallen in the future!"

And while Lin Fan was sizing up the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang was also sizing up Lin Fan at this moment.

Although Lin Fan's cultivation was not high, he felt more and more familiar the more he looked at him at this moment.

Suddenly, Ao Guang seemed to think of something, his body shook, and he stood up directly from his seat: "You are True Person Lin Fan!"

"The person who obtained the Sword Dao inheritance of Minghe Laozu within the Demon Court not long ago!"

At this moment, the expression of the East Sea Dragon King became solemn.

The gaze he looked at Lin Fan with again became cautious and grave.

Lin Fan.

This junior who had risen to fame in the Great Desolation in recent years.

Although his cultivation was not high, the incident in the Demon Court had already spread to all major forces in the Great Desolation, and everyone knew how much he was valued by Tongtian Jiaozhu, how gifted he was, and even...
