Chapter 724 His Eyes Were Shallow, but His Heart Was Full of Adultery
If despicable can make you live longer, then despicable is not just despicable, but a philosophy of survival. If a noble person suffers losses or even loses his life because of his noble dealings with a lowly person, then nobility can only be an epitaph.
Despicable and noble are not absolutely correct laws. When a noble person comprehends despicable methods, he becomes fierce. And once a despicable man learns to pretend to be noble, he has a hypocrite. It is easy to judge a man's deeds from a moral point of view while standing on the sidelines, but no matter how persistent he is in his impartiality, there must be some mistakes.
This was a very complicated world. There were all sorts of people, gods, and demons with all sorts of desires. The simplest and truest sage does not exist, just as it is true that absolute bad people do not exist. The devil in our eyes may be an angel in the eyes of a child or a woman. How many of the perfect saints who had been placed in shrines were not reputed to have achieved half a thousand years of merit?
Infinite Jade's owner, Ao Xitang, was a notorious old dragon. Unlike his dragon seniors' heroic name, this fellow was famous for his actions as a villain who could see the wind and control the rudder. Xin Jisi hated him very much, but Gu Tianyou felt that this lowly person had many advantages.
For a long period of history, the dragons had been the main targets of the saints. This was because they possessed extraordinary talent, surpassed all races, and possessed temperaments inferior to those of humans. Due to Xiantian's powerful strength, there were practically no enemies. The dragons that were entrenched in the sea had once had a sizeable population. It was only then that many Sages of the Dharma Heaven and Earth were born within the human race, and they began to hunt down the reckless dragons.
Their numbers had only begun to decline sharply. Apart from their powerful innate endowments, there was also an obvious drawback. It was extremely difficult for them to reproduce. The direct descendants of the dragons took two thousand years to mature to the point where they could reproduce, and those powerful saints didn't even need two days to kill some of the dragons.
The number of lives cannot keep up with the number of people killed. Although they were still strong, their numerical disadvantage made it impossible for them to maintain their previous position. The once arrogant dragon race that was at the peak of the group was finally pulled down from the Overlord Divine Altar. He had become a subordinate demon that they had looked down on.
Regardless of whether it was Shui De Yuan Sheng Ao Dong Lai, Ao Tian who had cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the eighth layer, or Ao Kun who had once challenged the Xuanyuan Three Saints by himself and had the advantage, in the end, none of them were able to give the dragons a better chance of survival through confrontation.
What the strongest dragon clan did not do, Ao Xitang, this old sly old man, did. The Infinite Jade Heavenly Dragon Clan was rich in all four seas. Although the four great dragon kings led by Ao Xitang had nominally become the vassals of the seven clans of Xuanyuan, they had actually obtained the opportunity to endure development.
Ao Xitang did not compete with the Monstrous Clan's Primordial Saint, Jun Tian. He hugged the thick legs of Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom tightly and flattered the outside world. At the same time, he had always carried out a high-handed policy of absolute authority towards the world in the sea. Attack from afar, conquer all the sea demons in the four seas. He grasped the Four Seas firmly. Two thousand years ago, the current population base of the dragon race was no longer the same as when it was at its lowest level.
It was precisely because of this that he had the qualifications to make a clear choice between the east and west regions of the Federation, and that he would be recruited by the conservative and innovative sects of the Divine Kingdom Imperial Court. Although Ao Guang despised this third uncle and Xin Jisi hated him deeply, Gu Tianyou appreciated his methods.
Different people look at the problem from different angles. Ao Guang looked at Ao Xitang and saw that he was cowardly and shameless. What Xin Jisi saw was a despicable and sinister snob. What Gu Tianyou saw was that he had brought his family to survive in this cracked world, and that his life was very moist and promising.
Sacred Leaf Town was also struggling to survive. Unlike Wuqiong Bi and Ao Xitang, Gu Tianyou had never clearly stated which side he was on. However, relying on his own strength, he was arrogantly and stubbornly enduring the shocks from all sides. Gu Tianyou also stopped, but it wasn't because Sacred Leaf Town was stronger than Infinite Jade. In fact, Sacred Leaf Town's foundation and strength couldn't be compared to Infinite Jade's, but it was precisely because of this that Gu Tianyou was able to be so tough.
If an elephant had a lofty and fierce head, it would inevitably attract the fear and hatred of hunters. If a lone wolf didn't have the courage to fight to the death, what could it do to protect itself? This was why the Infinite Jade and Dragon Races, who were powerful enough to influence the world, had to show weakness. Meanwhile, Gu Tianyou, whose strength was far inferior to that of an unknown person, had to be tough, so that he wouldn't be swallowed by someone else's skin and bones.
Crystal Palace, a palace built thousands of miles beneath the sea. It was called crystal, but it was actually the hardest crystalline substance in the world. Only this kind of material could withstand the pressure of a large amount of water elemental energy with just a few water elemental formations.
The words "Heavenly Saint Realm of Shui De Cave" came from the personal book of the Water Saint King Chan. In order to show his respect, he spent a lot of money to mount the frames above the main entrance of the Crystal Palace with high-grade spirit jade. Below was a piece of seabed stone, which read: In the past, the dragons who saw the plaque did not worship died!
"This Ao Xitang really flatters to the extreme." Xin Jisi said disdainfully to Mihawk III beside him, "In the past, you were the one who dealt with him on my behalf. I only heard his name and knew that he was despicable and shameless, but I didn't expect him to be so despicable and shameless." He glanced at Ao Guang and said, "What kind of dragon clan doesn't bow to the heavens? Back then, the Black Dragon Emperor had used a pair of iron fists to fight alone in the world and his might had already been defeated by this plaque, right?"
Ao Guangdai frowned slightly and said coldly, "Ao Xitang, this scum of the dragon race, does not represent all the dragons. You said this too early."
Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "You've been in the surface world for two thousand years, but you haven't returned to the Axis World. Why do you have such a big opinion of your third uncle?"
"I wasn't born in the surface world." Ao Guang said angrily, "I've been here since I came out of the Dragon Sealing Abyss, but because I didn't kneel down and worship this plaque written by the great enemy who imprisoned my father, my shameless third uncle sent me into the Buddhist Samsara Dao and sold me to the monk Yuankong in the surface world." When she said those words, her hatred was not concealed. She gritted her teeth and wished that Ao Xitang was right in front of her, eating her flesh and drinking her blood to relieve her hatred.
"Compared to how much pain you suffered after surviving, what I'm actually more curious about is how much he paid to calm Wang Chan's anger." Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "Sometimes, living is a very difficult and complicated matter. You are the daughter of Dragon King Ao Kun, but you are not only a princess of the Dragon Clan. It is already a miracle that Wang Chan allowed you to return here. If you did not pay a price that satisfied him, do you really think the words on this stone tablet are just words?"
"Did you mean that he saved my life? Did he pay a great price for me?" Ao Guang was somewhat indignant and unfair. The tone of his question was not so much questioning as ridiculing and joking.
This honest girl's mind is too straightforward, she doesn't even know how to play around. Gu Tianyou felt a sense of loneliness. He glanced at Xin Jisi, who was reporting to him like a ten-meter tower in front of the Crystal Palace. Although this woman had a lot of bad intentions, at least her EQ and IQ were online. She could understand a lot of things without having to speak bluntly. This is why men are looking for confidantes with a common language. Knowing and knowing is a necessary skill for confidantes.
The big black man carefully looked at Xin Jisi's invitation. He walked down from the doorstep and arrived in front of Gu Tianyou and the others. His large eyes checked the names on the invitation one by one. Finally, his gaze landed on Ao Guang's face. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly knelt down and said excitedly, "Little Princess, you're finally back!"
"Are you Uncle Kun?" Ao Guang hesitated. It had been too long since she had arrived here last time. She remembered Uncle Kun's mighty deeds, but she forgot about his appearance.
"It's this old servant!" The big black man was so excited that he wanted to grab Ao Guang's small hand. He reached out and suddenly stopped, hesitating and worried about being rude. Ao Guang grabbed his big hand and pulled his huge body up. "Uncle Kun, you're really Uncle Kun. I remember everything. You were the one who brought me here from the Dragon Sealing Abyss. There were many humans chasing me along the way who had enmity with Daddy. If it weren't for your protection, I would have died a long time ago."
"This old servant doesn't dare …"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud voice from within the Crystal Palace, "I heard that Miss Xin Jisi from the Phoenix Trading Group came personally. The old dragon did not welcome him far away. Please do not blame Guild Leader Xin Jisi for his rudeness." When the dragon arrived, a group of people surrounded by a blue-bearded, red-haired old man strode out from inside. They quickly arrived in front of the four of them and pointed at Uncle Kun and scolded, "You stubborn fool, why did the distinguished guest come to investigate so carefully? If the distinguished guest blames you, I don't care how much merit you have, I will directly kill you and give the guest a drink."
"Old thief!" Ao Guang could not endure it. Even though Gu Tianyou held onto his small hand, his eyes glared at Ao Xitang angrily. He shouted bluntly, "Despicable old traitor, scum of the dragon race, if you dare to touch my Uncle Kun, I will immediately fight you!"
"Oh, who is this guest?" Ao Xitang rolled his eyes, looked at Xin Jisi and asked, "Madam, did these two come with you?"
Before Xin Jisi spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Gu Tianyou. Gu Tianyou immediately turned his head away, meaning that it was up to you. Sandwiched between the two, Ao Xitang looked at this detail in his eyes. He rolled his eyes and said calmly, "The guests are all here to add color to my Old Dragon's face." As he spoke, he stepped aside and let the four of them enter the Crystal Palace. From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Ao Guang and said a single word to her.
Ao Guang wanted to get angry again. This time, Gu Tianyou's face was cold, and he forcefully suppressed her with his psychic power. The helpless Ao Guang could only watch helplessly as a group of dragon race compatriots followed the old dragon traitor and knelt on the ground to worship the plaque.
As Ao Xitang walked in, he said to Gu Tianyou, "This old brother Ying Hua is reserved and his charm is not revealed. However, he can enter the old dragon's kennel without borrowing any external force. Please forgive me, Old Long Yan. Why can't I see who your old brother is?"
"Gu Tianyou."
When Ao Xitang heard the simple words, he was stunned for a moment before he looked at Xin Jisi.
"Mr. Gu is from the Kingdom of Witches. He is an important partner of our Phoenix Trading Group." Xin Jisi rushed to introduce him.
"So that's how it is. I blame the old dragon for being ignorant." Ao Xitang nodded and turned to a middle-aged man dressed in black beside him. "My honored guest is here. Gan'er greets Mr. Gu for me and drinks a few more drinks later." After saying that, he took a deep look at Ao Guang and Gu Tianyou and led Xin Jisi inside.
Ao Guang couldn't say anything, he couldn't control himself, he could only look at Ao Xitang's back with resentment. Gu Tianyou had already made a judgment on Ao Xitang based on the information he had previously grasped, but there were some things that he could not say to her right now. He could only forcefully suppress her and follow the crowd inside.
The Dragon Palace Dinner had already begun!
