Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

However, the Master of Gui Xu did not respond to Zhao Ziyue.

Those two gazes that could not be described by color fell upon Xu Linglong.

Linglong seemed to sense something; her shoulders trembled slightly, and the Nine Dragons Supreme Pearl inside her body blossomed with light, as if it had been ignited.

The next second, the Master of Gui Xu spoke, his voice grand and muffled, as if not a single person was speaking, but an entire building was vibrating: "Mirage Dragon Bloodline, plus the Nine Dragons Supreme Pearl acknowledging its master — seldom seen."

Xu Changqing heard this and his brows furrowed; he subconsciously pulled Linglong behind him.

Zhao Ziyue held it in for a long while, finally unable to restrain himself: "Lao Xu... can I ask something?"

Xu Changqing heard this, tilted his head to glance at him: "Ask what?"

Zhao Ziyue swallowed his saliva, then asked: "This Dragon Pearl of mine belongs to a Mirage Dragon.

The bloodline on Linglong is also that of a Mirage Dragon.

Then doesn't that mean......"

He spoke halfway, mouth agape, the remaining words unable to come out no matter what.

Xu Changqing rolled his eyes, said irritably: "The matter is too complex; I won't bother explaining. Anyway, so much time has passed."

Zhao Ziyue opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He decided to temporarily not think about this matter, merely his gaze toward Linglong became somewhat complex.

The Master of Gui Xu ignored the two's interjection; He sat upon the Dragon Bone Throne, his voice resounding once more, every word like an echo transmitted from the depths of Gui Xu: "She is very suitable."

Xu Changqing's gaze condensed: "Suitable for what?"

The Master of Gui Xu said blandly: "Suitable to serve as the next Master of Gui Xu."

As these words fell, the entire Gui Xu Dragon Tomb fell into a brief dead silence.

The fishing rod in Zhao Ziyue's hand nearly slipped from his grasp.

He abruptly turned his head to look at Xu Changqing, then abruptly turned back to look at the Master of Gui Xu, his mouth opening even wider than before.

Xu Changqing's complexion did not change much, but his eyes changed.

He first lowered his head to look at Linglong; coincidentally Linglong was also looking up at him. Father and daughter met eyes for a moment, then without prior agreement both turned their gazes toward the Master of Gui Xu.

Xu Changqing took a deep breath, said in a deep voice: "Sir, what do you mean by these words?"

After a brief silence, the Master of Gui Xu gave an answer: "I am not the First Generation Master of Gui Xu, or rather, the first Host of Gui Xu was not me."

The impact brought by this sentence was far more violent than the one just now.

Zhao Ziyue's mind buzzed for a moment.

He had been a Gui Xu Angler for so many years, believing he still understood Gui Xu fairly well.

The Master of Gui Xu is the ruler of Gui Xu, the sole will of this region.

But now, the Master of Gui Xu told him He was not the first.

This meant the history of Gui Xu was far longer than anyone imagined.

Even more shocking was that the Master of Gui Xu could still be inherited.

First Generation?

Host?

Xu Changqing heard this, his pupils fluctuating violently.

Besides shock, he thought deeper than Zhao Ziyue.

If the Master of Gui Xu can be inherited, then the essence of this Gui Xu is not a simple relationship between a ruler and a domain.

It is more like a position, or a responsibility that must be passed down.

And the existence before him, who knows how many tens of thousands of years he has existed, is passing this position to his own daughter.

Xu Changqing did not hesitate, decisively shook his head: "Apologies, I cannot agree.

Leaving aside that Linglong is only two hundred years old, her age is still young.

Once she assumes the so-called Master of Gui Xu, wouldn't she be trapped here for all eternity?"

Linglong possesses the Dragon Bloodline, belonging to a Half-Human Half-Dragon.

Therefore, her two hundred years might equal a human's two years.

A mere "two years old", without even having seen the colorful world outside, to be forever trapped in this Gui Xu Dragon Tomb that is as if an apocalypse — this is too much suffering.

Linglong glanced at him, her lips moved, as if wanting to say something, but she did not speak.

The Master of Gui Xu's gaze fell back upon Xu Changqing; at the same time, all the dragon souls in the entire Dragon Palace ceased their roaming in unison, turning their direction in perfect unison.

Ten thousand upon ten thousand dragon souls, following along, all fixed their gaze upon Xu Changqing.

Those pairs of eyes filled with resentment and anger, heavy as mountains pressing down.

The Master of Gui Xu's tone carried a trace of surprise, a trace of dissatisfaction: "You are refusing me?"

How long has it been? No one has ever dared refuse me.

Unexpectedly, this mere Spirit Severing cultivator before me actually dares to refuse.

Xu Changqing straightened his body, shielding Linglong behind him: "My Master is the Great Dao Venerate; I cultivate the Creation Dao, the Azure Emperor Great Dao.

One would think I have the qualification to refuse you!"

He did not say he was unafraid of death.

After all, reaching this cultivation level, who doesn't have a few life-saving tricks?

And the more this was the case, the easier it was to stir up the other party's rebellious psychology.

Only by bringing in a powerful backer and using power to suppress others could one gain true respect.

Unless the Lord of Gui Xu wanted to tear his face with the Lord of the Great Dao, even going to war.

At worst, Xu Zhangqing would throw Linglong into his Personal Space before anything happened.

Even if he died here today, he could revive in the Tianyuan Realm the next second.

Facing such a stubborn Xu Zhangqing, Zhao Ziyue couldn't help but break into a cold sweat in his heart, after all, the person before him was the Lord of Gui Xu, an existence that commanded ten thousand Dragons.

His strength was unclear.

But in terms of prestige, he was absolutely not inferior to transcendent existences like the Lord of the Great Dao.

It could be said that they were all rulers who dominated one side.

Instantly, the Dragon Palace fell silent for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Gui Xu nodded, He did so very slowly, slowly as if performing an action He hadn't done for a very long time: "Not bad. As a Direct Disciple of the Lord of the Great Dao, you bear the Creation Dao and the Great Dao of the Green Emperor."

Anyone else indeed had no qualification to refuse.

But you are different; you indeed have this qualification!"

Zhao Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, the voice of the Lord of Gui Xu rang out again: "Moreover, you didn't say it wrong."

Linglong is still young, and her cultivation isn't high.

Therefore, it is impossible for her to succeed my position now.

At least we must wait until she grows to a sufficient height before discussing this matter again."

However, Xu Zhangqing's expression did not ease in the slightest; he understood the meaning of the Lord of Gui Xu.

Not succeeding now, but staying first.

Staying to be cultivated, staying to wait.

Staying, until she could inherit this position.

"Lord of Gui Xu!"

"Not to mention succeeding, even if you let Linglong stay, I do not agree."

"She is my daughter; I have this right!"

Linglong was silent for a long time, then extended her hand and lightly tugged at Xu Zhangqing's sleeve.

Xu Zhangqing looked down at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Linglong looked up at him and said, "Father, I want to stay."

"What did you say?"

Xu Zhangqing's expression changed, and his brow suddenly furrowed tightly.

Good Fellow, he was arguing his case here, even biting the bullet to oppose the Lord of Gui Xu.

As a result, this leaky little padded jacket suddenly pulled a "backstab."

Linglong looked at him, her expression serious as she said: "Father, I can feel that here is something my daughter urgently needs!"
