Chapter 1501: Chapter 1501: You Are the Elder...
"Originally, I had some ambition. I hoped to become the most outstanding one in the federation in this generation. But after seeing you at the Future Rookie Challenge last time, I felt somewhat defeated because I think that no matter what, I canât catch up with you!"
At this moment, the dishes had already been served, a dazzling array of delicacies.
Lan Xuanyu invited Li Menglong to dine while saying, "Brother Li, donât belittle yourself. I am unlike you. If I hadnât fought hard, I wouldnât have reached where I am today. But for Brother Li, you are the heir to the future Sky Horse Sect Leader. The resources you can obtain far surpass what I can imagine. Comparatively, itâs better for you to be conservative. With sufficient resources, you are bound to grow into a towering tree. Why be hasty?"
Li Menglong laughed and said, "Itâs okay, you donât need to console me. Actually, I figured it out a long time ago. I will strive with you as my goal. This war indeed is the best opportunity. I hope through the tempering of this triumph, we can step onto the stage. By then, if you are willing to give me an opportunity to pursue you, it would be perfect."
Lan Xuanyu smiled without speaking. In fact, he didnât know what to say. Pursue my ass...
Just then, the door of the private room suddenly opened.
The three of them, Lan Xuanyu included, immediately sensed it, simultaneously showing surprise on their faces as they looked toward the door.
After all, the Dragon Palace is the most private place; itâs not somewhere you can just break into. What are the Dragon Palace staff doing?
Outside the door, someone walked in. When he walked in, the three simultaneously realized, in shock, why the attendants did not stop him.
No one on the entire Sky Dragon Planet could stop this person!
The one who came was none other than the current leader of the Dragon Clan, Sky Dragon Leader Jiang Weiqiang.
Jiang Weiqiang entered with a smile, and the three of them hurried to greet him.
The Sky Dragon Leader smiled at Lan Xuanyu and said, "I heard you were here entertaining Menglong, so I specially came to see you. If you need anything, just tell the staff. Iâve already settled the bill for you. As an elder and host, you should take good care of the guests."
"Yes, thank you, brother." At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was not only shocked but also a bit confused.
Since when did the Sky Dragon Leader become so close to him? Just because Zhang Chujia accepted him as a goddaughter? Given his status, to actually show up at his banquetâthis treatment not even Zhong Zhichang might have!
Li Menglong was utterly dumbfounded. When he saw the Sky Dragon Leader, his first thought was that he wouldnât come to snatch the Sky Burner Divine Hammer, right? Before he could eliminate that utterly impossible thought, he heard the term "elder" and Lan Xuanyu addressing the Sky Dragon Leader as "brother"? Whatâs with calling him brother?
Seeing Li Menglongâs astonished look, the Sky Dragon Leader didnât say more but merely smiled slightly and said, "Alright, you all continue your meal, I wonât disturb you anymore. I also came to host a banquet for a few patriarchs." After speaking, the leader smiled at Lan Xuanyu once more and then turned to leave.
Watching him leave, Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, and Li Menglong remained a bit dazed.
Bai Xiuxiuâs reaction was also no less than Li Menglongâs because she suddenly felt a bit apprehensive realizing the smile the Sky Dragon Leader had for Lan Xuanyu looked very familiar. Usually, when Lan Xuanyu looked at her, he often showed such a smile. That was not just an ordinary friendly smile!
No way...
Lan Xuanyu was the first to regain composure, quickly gesturing for Li Menglong to sit down and continue, saying, "Brother Li, letâs get back to eating."
Li Menglong, however, didnât move. Staring intently at "her," he asked, "Lan, what does the term âelderâ mean according to the Leader? Why did you call him brother?"
Lan Xuanyu said, "Well, the Divine Fire Dragon Knight took me as a goddaughter, so..."
Li Menglong was completely dumbstruck. The Divine Fire Dragon Knight took Lan as a goddaughter? How important must he view her? And, wasnât the Divine Fire Dragon Knight on the brink of death? Itâs unknown whether the breath had even ceased!
The first dayâs auction Zhang Chujia attended, albeit very low-key, and teleported rather than appearing in person, moreover now she had rejuvenated; even face-to-face, Li Menglong couldnât recognize her.
"This... this..."
Returning to his seat, Li Menglong was clearly a bit out of it, bewildered by the earlier scene, making it hard to savor the table of delicacies.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, however, were unreserved, enjoying the gourmet food that even benefits God level strong bodies.
After the meal, indeed, the bill had been settled.
Li Menglong had no idea how he left the Dragon Palace, only feeling dazed.
The Sky Dragon Leaderâs words were correct; the Sky Dragon Leader and the Sky Horse Sect Leader counted as peers, while according to seniority, Lan was now like the Sky Dragon Leaderâs siblingâdefinitely a status one tier above his own!
He indeed couldnât let go of his desire for Lan Xuanyu. In fact, the less attainable something is, the more one often longs for it. He increasingly felt that only this Golden Dragon Princess was worthy to match him.
After obtaining the Sky Burner Divine Hammer today, Li Menglong was filled with ambition, ready to get close to Lan Xuanyu this evening, but who knew heâd be given such a blow. Moreover, this blow came personally from the Sky Dragon Leader.
With a flicker of silver light, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu returned to their residence.
Taking off his coat and freshening up, Lan Xuanyu sat cross-legged on the bed, a thoughtful look on his face.
After tidying up, Bai Xiuxiu sat down opposite him.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Xiuxiu asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, "I am pondering why the Sky Dragon Leader would come when I met with Li Menglong today. Given his status, he wouldnât do anything pointless. Is there some issue between the Dragon Clan and the Sky Horse Clan? His intention was clearly to stop Li Menglong from pursuing me. What could be the deeper meaning?"
Bai Xiuxiu snorted, "What deeper meaning? I can sum it up in four words."
"Oh? Since when did my Xiuxiu become so clever? What four words?" Lan Xuanyu curiously asked.
Bai Xiuxiu kicked him and said, "This Miss is inherently astoundingly wise. Simple, the four words: declaring sovereignty."
"Declaring sovereignty? What nonsense?" Lan Xuanyu looked at her dumbfounded.
Bai Xiuxiu huffed, "Think about it, insisting on cross-dressing for no reason, I reckon the Sky Dragon Leader might have taken a liking to you. The problem of the original identity all got solved because Zhang Chujia acknowledged you as a goddaughter."
Lan Xuanyu stared blankly at her, "Are you saying the Sky Dragon Leader... Ugh... no way, right?"
Bai Xiuxiu said, "Nothing is impossible. Havenât you noticed his gaze at you, and the way he speaks has changed recently?"
"Wait a moment, Iâm feeling a little nervous." Lan Xuanyu, being so intelligent, hadnât considered this angle before. Now that Bai Xiuxiu mentioned it and recalling the recent changes in the Sky Dragon Leaderâs attitude towards "her", darn it! There really was such a possibility!
No way... If the Sky Dragon Leader intended anything unfavorable towards him, how could he avoid that?
Looking at Lan Xuanyuâs face changing unpredictably, Bai Xiuxiu couldnât help but get a bit worried too. Lightly nudging him, she said, "How about we run away?"
Lan Xuanyu smiled wryly, "Run where? We have important responsibilities now, itâs not as simple. Itâs not just our matter alone, the federation and our partners all depend on us."
