Less than half an hour later.
East China Sea Dragon Palace, inside the main hall of the Imperial City.
Li Xiaobai stood in front of the palace and looked around. Hundreds of civil and military officials were standing in rows. On the throne was the old Dragon King who had captured him.
The monks on the left should all be military generals, and the evil spirit could be vaguely felt on their bodies. The leader was a man in white robes, and there was another person standing next to him. It was Long Tian who had been seen in the dungeon. Li Xiaobai understood in just a moment. Yes, Long Tian and Long Zhan are brothers.
No wonder he has such strong strength, bloodline, and emotions. He is the heir of the old Dragon King, but he just doesn't know what he committed and is being imprisoned in the dungeon.
At this moment, Long Tian was also very surprised when he saw Li Xiaobai's expression. Unexpectedly, he also came out and came to the palace hall.
"Brother, who is this person and why is he here?"
"Hush, you are just dragging the other party's luck by coming out. The main event is next, just watch quietly from the side."
Long Zhan stopped Long Tian's words, and chatting was prohibited in the hall.
The monks on the right were all holding scriptures in their hands and smelled of books. At first glance, they were literati. The first one was Prime Minister Turtle, who was also looking at Li Xiaobai at this moment.
The two sides looked at each other, and Li Xiaobai read murderous intent and anger from the old eyes.
It seems that his appearance has hindered the prime minister. To be precise, it has hindered the marriage of the prime minister's grandson.
In fact, according to the original idea, it would not be a bad idea to give up Long Xue to the other party. This would reduce his own troubles and maybe he could escape directly.
But after seeing the mean and rude coquettish bitch just now, Li Xiaobai changed his mind.
Originally he was full of dissatisfaction, but since the turtle prime minister and his turtle grandson wanted to play, then he would have fun with them.
Nowadays, Li Xiaobai no longer needs to pretend to be a coward and let others beat him to obtain attribute points. For such a shrimp-like character, there is only one word, kill!
"Tian'er, after all these years of suffering for you, have you ever hated your father?"
On the throne, the old Dragon King looked down at Long Tian, with a trace of sadness in his eyes. Twenty wonderful years were wasted in the dungeon because he couldn't admit that he was wrong.
"Thank you for your concern, father. My son has lived a good life these years and made many friends in the dungeon. What happened back then was indeed my fault and my father was embarrassed."
Long Tian saluted and said respectfully.
"Very good. From now on, you will follow Zhan'er and assist him in jointly managing the East China Sea."
"You're not young anymore. Let's find some time to arrange a marriage for you."
The old Dragon King laughed and seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Thank you for your love, Father!"
Long Tian saluted again, stepped aside, and silently watched the next development of the situation. He already vaguely understood in his heart that the protagonist today was probably Li Xiaobai, who had brutally tortured him not long ago.
"Li Xiaobai, how have you been in our sea clan these past two days?"
On the throne, the old Dragon King asked pleasantly, looking very friendly.
"You're living a very bad life. Why did the senior throw the junior into that dark dungeon?"
"That dungeon is simply not a place for humans. Inside, the juniors were bullied and tortured. The prisoners inside were all vicious and vicious. They bullied me day and night. The warden also stared at me. Every day was like walking in hell. I endured it. I have suffered pain that I shouldn’t have to endure at this age.”
Li Xiaobai shook his head and sighed, looking like he was talking about something.
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials present were stunned, and then their faces darkened. They never expected that even in the palace hall, this boy's unconventional personality still did not restrain at all.
You are too thick-skinned. You are clearly the real bully in the dungeon, okay? Why do you become someone who bullies you day and night?
However, you can only think about these words in your heart. If you say them out, it will undoubtedly expose the fact that they are spying secretly. This is a stain on the royal family and must not be spread outside.
The old Dragon King's forehead also had blue veins bulging.
Mud, when he told everyone in the dungeon that he was a relative of the emperor, he was so proud of himself, why did he become so timid now?
He finally understood that shamelessness was also a state, and being able to say these words so naturally and without pretense was considered awesome in a sense.
"Ahem, young people need encouragement and even more hard work. All hard work is for a better tomorrow."
"Li Xiaobai, do you know the reason why you are called here today?"
The old Dragon King coughed twice and asked straight to the point.
"I heard about it when I came here, but is it because of Prime Minister Gui's grandson?"
Li Xiaobai said lightly and looked at Prime Minister Gui.
"Yes, it seems that Xiu'er has told the young master the whole story, so there shouldn't be any need for me to explain more, right?"
Prime Minister Turtle's eyes were very cold. When the personal maid he sent was found, her body had been cut into 108 pieces. Of course, there is no need to say who the murderer was. He must make Li Xiaobai pay the price.
"Xue'er, tell me, what do you think about this?"
The old Dragon King looked at a corner of the hall and asked with a smile.
At this moment, Li Xiaobai noticed that there was a woman standing in the corner of the hall, with a calm expression, like a hibiscus emerging from the water. She was standing there quietly, smiling lightly and listening to everyone's conversation. It was no one else. It's Long Xue.
"Everything is up to grandpa."
Long Xue's cheeks were a little red and she spoke softly.
"Haha, okay, Li Xiaobai, let me ask you, do you like my granddaughter?"
The old Dragon King laughed loudly, looked at Li Xiaobai and asked casually.
"I only have family and country affairs in my heart, and have no personal relationships with my children."
Li Xiaobai shrugged and said calmly.
"What's the meaning?"
The old Dragon King's smile stiffened, and he looked at Li Xiaobai with a somewhat gloomy look.
"It's not interesting. The answer is obvious, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't have to personally capture me by force."
Li Xiaobai said.
"Then do you like it or not?"
The old Dragon King stared at Li Xiaobai and spoke word by word.
"In my eyes, there is only the endless journey and the sea of stars. Women will only affect the speed of my sword!"
Li Xiaobai's expression changed, and he slowly said, these words were meant for Long Xue.
The most taboo thing about relationships is ambiguity, otherwise it will only hurt people more.
"So, the young master doesn't have any feelings for the little girl?"
Before the old Dragon King could get angry, Long Xue asked first. Her face turned a little pale, and there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.
"In the near future, I will stand on the top of the mountain and look down at the world. Before that, I had no intention of loving my children."
