Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: Mediation
The Lord of Fenglong City looked somewhat tired, which was very rare for a God level strong.
“Father,” Bai Xiuxiu approached him quickly and greeted him proactively when she saw him.
Huang Daoqi smiled slightly, “Good girl, you performed well. Completely according to our plan, you won today without fighting. It can already be said to be two wins and one loss.”
Bai Xiuxiu smiled slightly, “That’s still because sister is impressive!”
Lan Xuanyu also slightly bowed, greeting Huang Daoqi, “Patriarch.”
Seeing her respectful demeanor, the negative emotions in Huang Daoqi’s heart vanished instantly. Although yesterday’s incident was troublesome, in a way, it had vented some anger for Fenglong City. It hadn’t been announced publicly that she had signed a thousand-year contract with the family. But Huang Daoqi knew it! The strength and potential of “Lan” was beyond doubt. Even the Moke Dragon Knight had nothing but praise for it.
...
“Yesterday’s incident was just an accident. If someone asks, just answer like that,” Huang Daoqi said to Lan Xuanyu with a smile, “Sit, let’s talk while we eat. You have another competition later.”
Hearing this, Lan Xuanyu understood that the situation was basically resolved. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a relaxed attitude.
“Patriarch, I apologize for the trouble,” Lan Xuanyu gave another bow to Huang Daoqi before sitting down.
Huang Daoqi waved his hand and said, “No problem, with Lord Luo Lan present, and considering yesterday was an accident. After discussions with the higher-ups, there’s nothing to worry about. However, you should still be careful in the upcoming competitions. Try to avoid the same situation. Otherwise, even Lord Luo Lan might not be able to protect you. After all, we are all of the same clan, so if possible, try to hold back a bit.”
“Yes,” Lan Xuanyu immediately nodded in agreement. He, of course, couldn’t keep killing members of the Dragon Clan! That would surely invite investigation. Yesterday’s situation was part a test and part because of the deep malice shown by Shaoxiu. He really hadn’t planned to do the same in the upcoming competitions.
Seeing that “she” was still very receptive to advice, Huang Daoqi felt even more pleased and gestured for “them” to eat, smiling, “You are all the future hope of our family. Be careful in the upcoming competitions and stay safe. However, speaking of which, yesterday also shone a great light on our Fenglong City. Both of you achieved victories. Especially Lan, who is now a popular candidate for the subsequent competitions. This is a situation Fenglong City hasn’t seen in many years.”
While saying this, his gaze couldn’t help but drift towards Huang Yuanlang, who was quietly eating on the other side. Huang Yuanlang had lost miserably in yesterday’s competition, being pressed to the ground by his opponent. The triumph from his initial victory vanished instantly. It was clear that what strength he possessed was what strength he exhibited, and his chances of standing out from the cycle of competitions were virtually nil.
Huang Daoqi’s spirits gradually uplifted, smiling, “Yesterday, I went to see Lord Luo Lan immediately. Lord Luo Lan watched the recording of the competition and had no criticism of your performance, only high praise. He said your way of fighting is very much in his style. Truly worthy of someone from our Fenglong City. Later, the lord went personally to discuss with the top levels how this matter should be handled. Under his firm support, a potential crisis was defused. Lord Luo Lan asked me to tell you, the will to fight is the most important quality for a Dragon Knight. In the heat of battle, don’t think too much, press forward, and you can shine your brightest. So, the words I said earlier about holding back was just my personal view, Lord Luo Lan didn’t say that, haha.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled as well, “Thank you for Lord Luo Lan’s support. On the first day, Lord Luo Lan already gave me many benefits.”
Huang Daoqi said, “Lord Luo Lan should be present today as well, personally supporting you. So, even if there are any unfavorable public opinions, don’t worry about it. With Lord Luo Lan present, there won’t be any problems.”
Upon hearing this, Lan Xuanyu was truly overjoyed, his smile deepening. “I will never forget Lord Luo Lan’s favor,” he said, “and thank you, patriarch, for your mediation.” His joy wasn’t about taking charge of anything, but because with Luo Lan present, the benefits that the Dragon Qi brought to him had returned! He could now further help his companions in their Body Refining Cultivation.
If they could take advantage of this Ascending Dragon competition to have all his companions complete the basic Body Refining, their strengths were likely to rise to a new level. Such a pace in cultivation would definitely be much faster than in Shrek Academy’s Inner Court.
Even over these few days, both he and Bai Xiuxiu had distinctly felt their progress accelerating. With his Dragon God’s bloodline present, their speed in Dragon Power Refining was much faster than that of ordinary members of the Dragon Clan. The condition being, they had enough Dragon Qi to support it. The Ascending Dragon competition provided them with almost the perfect opportunity.
It seems, slaying dragons wasn’t entirely bad as it could bring Dragon Knights into play—what a great turn of events!
If Huang Daoqi knew what Lan Xuanyu was thinking right now, he would surely be speechless. Seeing Xuanyu’s delighted expression, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, “We’re all family here, there’s no need to talk as if we’re strangers. Oh yes, regarding the millennium contract you’ve signed, though we’ve already reported to Sky Dragon City, we’ve also used our connections to keep this news hidden for now until after the Ascending Dragon competition.”
“Why is that?” Bai Xiuxiu asked, feigning curiosity.
Huang Daoqi said, “Mainly for the sake of your safety. Given your outstanding performance, other major families are definitely paying attention to you, even wanting to win you over. Since they want to win you over, they naturally wouldn’t attack you too harshly during the competition. But if they knew you had already signed a millennium contract with our clan, meaning there’s no chance to win you over, then your opponents would be much more ruthless when fighting against you.”
He didn’t elaborate further, but Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu already understood. One had to admit he was indeed very astute! He’d even calculated this, truly considering their well-being.
After eating breakfast, they set off to compete again.
For some reason, on the way to the Ascending Dragon Platform, Lan Xuanyu found that Huang Yuanlang seemed to be keeping a distance from him, no longer trying to chat with him as usual. Was he intimidated by his performance yesterday? Nonetheless, not having to deal with him felt like a relief.
Once again flying up to the Ascending Dragon Platform, before Lan Xuanyu took to the skies, the demeanor of various tribes along both sides of the Dragon Clan Avenue towards him clearly differed from before. In addition to simple admiration of beauty and strength, there was something more.
And when Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu flew up to the Ascending Dragon Platform together, what they felt was the attention of many from the Dragon Clan.
This resolute and decisive Golden Dragon Princess was now getting more attention. Some young powerhouses from the Dragon Clan, who had initially seen her as a rising star, now focused their gaze on “her.”
Lan Xuanyu, still in his own way, proceeded directly to the rest area in the Third Combat Zone. In the rest area, the previously largest figure was now missing, which inevitably made the others in the same zone sigh.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes immediately landed on the largest participant remaining in the current Third Combat Zone.
This was his opponent for today, an upper-rank dragon of the Dragon Clan who had not yet assumed human form. Covered in silver scales, its body stretched over thirty meters in length, the entire body emitting a faint silver luster.
This silver-scaled being also felt Lan Xuanyu’s gaze and subconsciously looked back at him. Seeing Lan Xuanyu’s gaze, it slightly trembled and gave a slight grin, seemingly offering him a smile.
