"Didn't your father tell you that I am the one who hates dragons the most among the Three Pure Ones?"
In the small courtyard, Tongtian's joke-like words made everyone present except Tang Hao feel chills all over.
And Ao Li, who was looking directly at Tongtian, couldn't bear it and fell to his knees.
"Sage Tongtian, Ao Li knows a little bit about the past between you and our clan."
"Before I came, my father asked me to go to the Kunlun Mountains to join the Chan Cult, but I refused."
With his forehead pressed against the ground, Ao Li gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Tongtian raised his eyebrows and looked at the trembling Ao Li with a half-smile, "Since you know, why do you still come to me to teach you?"
The sudden scene shocked everyone present.
Yunxiao, Su Wanwan, and Lu Ling all lowered their heads at this time and did not dare to make any other moves.
Tang Hao frowned and looked at Ao Li who was kneeling on the ground with some confusion.
Since when did the Dragon Clan have a problem with Master Tongtian?
Why don't you know?
On the ground, Ao Li lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
The small courtyard fell into silence, the breeze blew slowly, and only a ginkgo tree beside the stone table made a rustling sound.
At this moment, the crescent-shaped scales on the back of Ao Li's neck suddenly began to tremble violently.
A beam of light suddenly shot out from the scales, and the next moment, a figure appeared in the small courtyard.
"Ao Yuan of the Dragon Clan, pays homage to Lord Tongtian."
The vicissitudes of sound that seemed to have gone through countless years of baptism sounded from the small courtyard.
The shadow of an old man with gray hair on his temples and wearing a white robe bowed respectfully to Tongtian in front of the stone table.
It seemed that he was carrying a huge weight on his body. The old man's body was slightly stooped. On his old face, a pair of golden vertical pupils were deep and calm.
"Father...Father?"
Seeing the shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ao Li, who was kneeling on the ground, was suddenly startled, "Why are you here?"
Father?
Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared, a trace of curiosity flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
The Dragon Clan was famous in the prehistoric times, but in Tang Hao's memory, what he saw most was that the Dragon Clan was humiliated by the gods of heaven, and there was no trace of the former overlords of heaven and earth.
But at this moment, the aura of the old man named Ao Yuan in front of him was as vast and unfathomable as the East China Sea.
After bowing to Tongtian, Ao Yuan ignored Ao Li, but continued to look at Tongtian, and suddenly asked inexplicably: "Sir, I wonder if a dog like me can get into his eyes?"
The voice was still low and hoarse, but there was a hint of pride.
Tongtian sat on the stone bench, still looking elegant and easy-going.
Hearing the hint of pride in Ao Yuan's tone, he frowned and looked at Ao Li again.
Divine light suddenly appeared, and the next moment, a trace of surprise flashed in Tongtian's eyes.
"I see!"
"Is he really your father?"
No one knew that Ao Li's appearance had changed in Tongtian's eyes at this time.
Ao Yuan was not annoyed at all by Tong Tian's somewhat offensive words, but instead had a smile on his face, "Li'er was raised by me since he was a child, so he calls me father."
"I didn't expect that a real dragon was born out of your dragon clan." Tongtian looked away and clicked his tongue.
Everyone heard the incomprehensible conversation between the two, and the three Yunxiao people could not help but look curiously at Ao Li who was kneeling on the ground.
Didn't he say that he was a dragon before?
Why did he suddenly become a dragon again?
Although the dragon has a dragon name, it has never been recognized by the dragon clan. The gap between the two is no different than cloud mud.
Although the dragon clan has long withdrawn from the stage of history, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.
As one of the most powerful races in the world, although the Dragon Clan is hidden, its prestige has not diminished.
Yunxiao and the others did not expect that Ao Li, who had a gentle and jade-like temperament, was actually from the legendary dragon clan, and it seemed that he was not an ordinary dragon clan.
"I heard that someone from your dragon clan has successfully joined my senior brother."
"Why, isn't one explanation not enough?"
Tongtian looked at the old man with a stooped figure but a vague aura of scorn, and asked with interest.
Hearing this, Ao Yuan raised his hands again, "That yellow dragon has been removed from our dragon clan."
"Expelled? Aren't you afraid of offending my senior brother?"
Hearing Ao Yuan's words, Tongtian seemed to be interested, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"The dragons are all scaly people. The Yellow Dragon successfully joined the Chan Cult, but maybe it's not pure."
Hearing the underlying tone of Tongtian's words, Ao Yuan said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"A good one may not be pure, haha!" Tongtian laughed, but his expression suddenly calmed down the next moment, "Tell me, what exactly do you dragons want to do."
Ao Yuan hesitated and stopped talking.
"Yunxiao, you go back first."
"Ao Lihe... and Xuanfan will stay here first."
Waving his hands, Tongtian signaled to Yunxiao and the three of them that they could leave.
"Yes, Master!" Yun Xiao heard the words and bowed to answer.
Su Wanwan and Lu Ling also bowed, and then the three of them exited the small courtyard.
From then on, only Ao Li and Tang Hao were left in the small courtyard.
Seeing that Tong Tian had left Tang Hao behind, Ao Yuan's golden vertical pupils couldn't help but sweep towards him.
"Who is this..." Seeing Tang Hao's extraordinary temperament, Ao Yuan asked with some confusion.
Tongtian beside the stone table was about to answer, but was interrupted by Tang Hao, "Hello, my name is Xuan Fan. I met Ao Li when I joined the Jiejiao not long ago."
"Xuan Fan?" Upon hearing this name, a glimmer of light flashed in Ao Yuan's eyes, but it was fleeting.
On the other side, Tongtian waved his hand towards Ao Li on the ground, and an invisible force lifted Ao Li up.
"Stop kneeling, I'm not my senior brother, so why should I be ranked third, sixth or ninth grade?"
As if thinking of something, Tongtian shook his head and laughed at himself.
Ao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the next moment a hint of surprise flashed in his dark and deep eyes.
"Thank you, Saint Tongtian!" Ao Li stood up and finally spoke again, but his voice was no longer as gentle as before, and there was still some dirt on his forehead.
"Now, can we talk about it?" Tongtian looked at Ao Yuan and said calmly.
"Venerable Tongtian, our clan once offended you unintentionally. Now, our clan wants to make up for it, Venerable."
"Make it up to me?" Tongtian was stunned, "How to make it up to me?"
Not to mention that the dragon clan is now lonely, even when it was once glorious, it was just a slightly more powerful ant colony compared to the saint.
What is there about the Dragon Clan that a Saint would like?
Ao Yuan suddenly looked at Ao Li, his eyes filled with golden light.
Ao Li, who was standing a few steps in front of Tang Hao, looked at Ao Yuan's unquestionable eyes, with a trace of unwillingness flashing deep in his eyes.
But in the end, unwilling to dissipate, looking at Tongtian who was still a little confused in front of him, he lowered his head suddenly, "I beg Saint Tongtian to accept me as a mount!"
"I, Taichu Ao Li, can make an oath of heaven to follow the saint and serve the saint for the rest of my life without any regrets!"
The voice carried a hint of relief, resounding throughout the small courtyard.
Taichu?
What is this thing?
Tang Hao stood behind Ao Li and couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart when he heard these words.
Why haven’t I heard of anyone from the Dragon Clan named Taichu?
On the other side, Tongtian suddenly understood something. He looked at Ao Yuan and said, "You are really willing to give up!"
"If I can become the mount of Lord Tongtian, it will not only be an honor for Quanzi, but also an honor for my entire dragon clan." Ao Yuan lowered his head, and there was nothing unusual in his voice.
Tongtian looked at Ao Yuan who had his head lowered, and suddenly looked at Tang Hao, with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Fellow Taoist God, I wonder if you are interested in accepting this piece of Taichu?"
"It is many times rarer than that Qingluan."
Tang Hao was stunned when he heard Tongtian suddenly ask himself.
What does it mean that you are interested in accepting it?
I don’t even know what this Taibei is!
