Probably because he was really tired, Zhao Yanzi lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
The lights were turned off, leaving only a small table lamp beside the bed. Hao Ren hid in the darkness beside the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, thinking about what happened during the day.
Xihai's toughness must be supported by them, especially the old man Zeng, who was so arrogant that if Zhao Yanzi's third uncle hadn't been present, he would have almost robbed Zhao Yanzi.
You know, it is still in the territory of the East China Sea.
In addition to the matters in the East China Sea and the West China Sea, there were other things that also gave Hao Ren a little headache.
The room was very quiet. Hao Ren used his inner strength and could barely see a few shimmers in the corners of the room. This was the day Zhao Guang asked Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren to spend the night at Lu Qing's house. He and Zhao Hongyu
Formations set up at home.
Turning around to see the sleeping Zhao Yanzi, Hao Ren, who was still unable to fall asleep, sighed slightly. Sometimes, it's easier to be a mortal.
Time ticked into the daytime of the next day. Hao Ren stayed up all night, practicing the splitting light sword and shadow technique, and guarding Zhao Yanzi at the same time. Donghai's attitude yesterday angered Xihai, and Hao Ren always felt a little uneasy.
He is now at the Kan level and cannot be considered a master, but he is still better than Zhao Yanzi who has lost all his skills.
"Ah..." Zhao Yanzi yawned and stretched on the bed.
When she saw Hao Ren staring at her, she snorted softly and kicked the quilt from her feet towards Hao Ren, just covering his head.
Hao Ren pulled off the quilt, feeling innocent. After all, I kept watch for you all night. No credit but hard work.
Zhao Yanzi never thought that Hao Ren stayed up all night and jumped to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. She never felt worried about the threat from Xihai. Donghai was not afraid of Xihai, so how dare they do anything?
The two came downstairs and saw that Zhao Hongyu had already prepared breakfast. Everything was as warm and natural as before.
"Mom, Hao Ren and I are going to see Hao Ren's grandma today." Zhao Yanzi said while biting the bread.
"How did you get there?" Zhao Hongyu asked.
"Drive there!" Zhao Yanzi pointed at Hao Ren, "Can't he drive?"
Hao Ren nodded, "Aunt and uncle, let's go over and have fun together?"
"We won't go. The birthday party is over and there are still a lot of things to clean up," Zhao Guang said.
"Then... shall we two go?" Zhao Yanzi carefully asked Zhao Guang's opinion.
"Well, you two go ahead." Zhao Guang nodded disapprovingly.
Zhao Yanzi was overjoyed, but Hao Ren was a little surprised. Zhao Guang was really relieved to let Zhao Yanzi go out alone with him.
"Be careful when going out." Zhao Hongyu said, and immediately went upstairs to prepare the clothes Zhao Yanzi needed to change when going out.
In this way, Hao Ren drove Zhao Guang's black Chevrolet and took Zhao Yanzi to the small mountain village in Zhejiang where his grandmother lived.
At the same time that Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren left the house, Zhao Guang, who was in the living room, turned to the study and said, "Prime Minister Xia, please continue talking."
"Yes, Dragon King." Prime Minister Xia, who was wearing a blue robe, walked out of the study, "According to the latest news, a total of six elders from Xihai who took Xuanbing to escape from seclusion this time were successfully promoted to the Kun level!"
"Six..." Zhao Guang lowered his head slightly, as if savoring the weight of these two words.
"There are six more Kun-level masters, and Xihai's strength is much higher than ours. No wonder they dare to challenge us at Ah Zi's birthday party." Zhao Hongyu, standing next to Zhao Guang, said.
Zhao Guang looked solemn and nodded, "Continue."
"Well!" Prime Minister Xia's face was also very solemn, "There is another piece of news that is not very certain. In Donghai City where we are located, there are monks in the transformation stage!"
"God transformation stage?" Zhao Guang, who has always been calm, showed some surprise.
"Because it involves a great monk in the Transformation Stage, we dare not inquire too much. However, based on the few words Su Han said at the birthday party and our comprehensive judgment in the East China Sea, Qin Shaoyang was suddenly transferred to the Northwest Tianshan Mountains. It seems that it was because
Provoke this monk who is in the stage of becoming a god."
Hearing what Prime Minister Xia said, Zhao Guang frowned and touched his chin, "This way, it seems to be true. Qin Shaoyang belongs to the lineage of the Golden Dragon. Logically speaking, his status in the prosecutor system is quite special. He was suddenly sent to the bitter cold in the northwest.
The place should be to offend people who shouldn’t be offended.”
"In addition..." Prime Minister Xia drawled his voice, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "When Hao Consort broke through the threshold, a passing cultivator in the transformation stage gave some advice."
"Oh?" This time, both Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang were a little surprised.
"The overall situation is more complicated than the Dragon King expected. A large number of people came from Xihai, but they did not take action. They seemed to be concerned about the great monk in the transformation stage of Donghai City." Prime Minister Xia said again.
Zhao Hongyu shook her head, "The monks in the transformation stage never interfere with the dragon clan's affairs. Even if there is a fight between East China Sea and Xihai, as long as no mortals are harmed, the monks in the transformation stage will not interfere. However, Qin Shaoyang was suddenly transferred away, leaving Xihai with
It’s true that I’m wary and don’t dare to do anything casually.”
"What Dragon Mother said is absolutely true. Now the three parties are in a temporary stalemate. Now it depends on whether the third master can break through the realm of Tianlong. Old man Zeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He must be waiting for an opportunity." Prime Minister Xia said.
"You are right. The irritability shown by Old Man Zeng yesterday was just to paralyze us. In fact, he is very cunning. However, yesterday's incident has left both sides with a lot of resentment. There will definitely be small-scale confrontations in these two days.
Maybe the elders will fight, and it would be a good thing to let Ah Zi temporarily leave Donghai City for two days." Zhao Guang stared at Prime Minister Xia, "We don't have to worry here, you can follow Ah Ren and Ah Zi for two days to protect them secretly.
Let them."
"Yes!" Prime Minister Xia, who was hunched over, cupped his hands, turned into a ray of blue light, and disappeared.
On the highway, Hao Ren drove Zhao Guang's black Chevrolet and just approached the toll station of the highway.
Zhao Yanzi was a little uneasy traveling alone with Hao Ren for the first time. However, she was happy to find an opportunity to escape from homework and go out to play.
"Why, do I look like a bad guy?" Sensing her nervousness, Hao Ren asked while driving.
"What do you think?" Zhao Yanzi asked.
"Besides secretly watching you sleep, I haven't done anything outrageous, right?" Hao Ren asked her.
Zhao Yanzi babbled and wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say. From Hao Ren's tone, it seemed as if he was going to do something outrageous this time.
"I said, the conditions there are very difficult. Don't just go there and then ask to come back." Entering the toll station, Hao Ren further confirmed.
"I know! What a waste!" Zhao Yanzi stared. She felt that she was not that delicate!
The car drove steadily and entered the highway. Hao Ren drove for a while and finally couldn't help but ask again, "What's the name of the Prince of the West Sea?"
"I told you not to mention him!" Zhao Yanzi was a little dissatisfied, but still replied, "Zeng Yitao!"
Hao Ren secretly wrote down the name, feeling that this boy would not be a good person in the future.
"Um...you didn't have an engagement with Xihai before, right?" Hao Ren thought about it and then asked again.
"Bah! Who wants to be engaged to them! They came up to me on their own, and my father never promised them!" Zhao Yanzi said.
Hao Ren guessed that Xihai must have mentioned Zhao Yanzi's matter several times, but Zhao Guang always tried to prevaricate them by saying that Zhao Yanzi would have to wait until he was 18 years old. But this time, Donghai suddenly found a consort for Zhao Yanzi.
, he didn’t even say hello to Xihai, which made Xihai Dragon Palace furious.
At the beginning, Zhao Guang resisted the pressure and made me, a mortal, Zhao Yanzi's "consort". It turned out that there was this reason behind it.
The journey on the highway was very boring. Zhao Yanzi, who was leaning on the chair, fell into a dream again without realizing it. She had a busy day yesterday and didn't get a good rest at night, so of course she would feel sleepy during the day.
Hao Ren tried his best to keep the speed of the car as steady as possible so as not to affect her sweet dreams. Sometimes, he also felt that Zhao Yanzi was quite pitiful. As the jewel in the palm of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, even though he was cheering for her, he still lacked some freedom.
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu probably wanted her to grow up in the city just to make her happy.
The three-hour drive brought Hao Ren to this small mountain village that he had just visited a few days ago. The bumpy road made Zhao Yanzi wake up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and saw these simple houses outside the car.
He opened his mouth in slight surprise, "Ah? Is it right here?"
Growing up in a prosperous city, what I saw when I occasionally went to Dragon Palace was a different kind of luxury. Even when I traveled to Qingyan Mountain, I stayed in a hotel at the foot of the mountain. Has Zhao Yanzi ever lived in such a "mountain residence"?
Hao Ren didn't care about her. He had already arrived at his destination anyway. Even if Zhao Yanzi wanted to protest, it would be useless even if he broke his throat.
The car entered the compound. Grandma, who was basking in the sun in the yard, saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi walking out of the black car. She immediately came over in surprise, "Why are you... why are you here?"
"Grandma!" Zhao Yanzi ran towards her grandma and called out sweetly.
"Oh, it turns out you have such a beautiful little granddaughter, and you didn't even tell me!" Grandma's good sister, the old grandma, also stood over with a smile, holding a cattail leaf fan.
"Grandma..." Zhao Yanzi also called her by the way.
"My granddaughter is so beautiful..." the old lady walked around Zhao Yanzi and said in admiration.
"This is not my granddaughter, this is me..." Grandma wanted to explain.
Zhao Yanzi blushed and hurriedly called grandma again. Finally, grandma understood and changed her words, "Haha, our little Azi is still shy!"
The old lady didn't expect it to be so complicated, so she just rubbed her head and said with some trouble, "Today is Saturday. My sons who work in the town have all come back, and there is only one empty room left, and there are not enough bedding..."
