Yue Qingling made him feel a little embarrassed in front of Di Zhengchen, so he could only whisper, "Let's talk about this when we get back, in front of Elder Di..."
"No need, I'm fine. You guys finish arguing first, then I'll talk."
Di Zhengchen said with a smile.
He seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
He's lived for over three hundred years, what hasn't he seen?
However, he had never actually seen a young couple arguing.
Dragon marriages are very unequal.
No matter how powerful a dragon woman was before marriage, once she got married, her status plummeted, and she had to obey her husband's every word.
Women who dare to act coquettishly with their husbands are extremely pampered.
In the entire Southern Continent, there's only one couple who dares to argue with their husbands.
Yue Qingling could only sigh and say, "Ying'er, do we have to bring up old grievances? Wasn't I coerced by her back then?"
"That's because you're fickle," Bai Ying said, crossing her arms and persisting.
She wasn't angry that Yue Qingling was seeing other women. In Nanzhou, Yue Qingling also had relationships with Yue Wuyan and Shen Rongrong, but she didn't say anything about it.
What she feared was that these women from the past had all entered the household before her, which would threaten her position, causing her some anxiety.
Yue Qingling knew she was being unreasonable, but in front of Di Zhengchen, he really couldn't say anything soft. If there was no one else around, he could have easily hugged and coaxed her, but he didn't have that kind of thick skin now.
He could only lower his head and remain silent.
Bai Ying seized the opportunity to say, "Anyway, I'm not going back to Dongzhou with you in the future. If we go back, wouldn't I be ranked sixth or seventh among the lower-ranking officials?"
Yue Qingling quickly said, "No need, no need. You're in Nanzhou, you're the boss, okay?"
"Hmph, that's more like it." Bai Ying's anger turned to joy. She hugged Yue Qingling's arm without any hesitation and said cheerfully, "Master, we've finished talking about our business. Now you can speak."
"Hmm... so fast? I haven't had enough yet."
Di Zhengchen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the young couple blushed immediately, realizing they had been gossiped about.
Di Zhengchen stopped joking and said calmly, "Ying'er, no matter what, we can't ignore the problems that Dongzhou is facing now."
Ultimately, if the Eastern Continent falls, then the Southern Continent will also cease to exist.
The best way to deal with invaders is to nip them in the bud when they first appear. If the Eastern Continent cannot withstand them, it will become the invaders' stronghold.
Such a large continent, if allowed to multiply unchecked, the Four Realms Continents could not withstand it.
Bai Ying pouted, looking unhappy, but she didn't say anything in rebuttal.
Di Zhengchen then looked at Yue Qingling with a serious expression: "Qingling, in my opinion, you'd better make a trip to Dongzhou."
Both publicly and privately, your problem has reached a point of urgency.
Yue Qingling took a deep breath and said worriedly, "Principal, I'm just afraid that Leng Feiran will try to trip me up."
Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.
I've been caught by her at least three times.
Di Zhengchen shook his head and smiled, "I understand how you feel."
However, times have changed.
Okay, I promise you.
If you are framed by Leng Feiran, then our Southern Continent will not stand idly by.
I'll go there myself and demand the person from Leng Feiran!
Yue Qingling stared blankly at Di Zhengchen, and his heart finally settled down.
If a powerful figure in the King Realm promised to protect him, then he would truly have no scruples!
"Then should I go and make preparations?" Yue Qingling asked tentatively.
Di Zhengchen nodded: "Go ahead, I want to say a few words to Ying'er."
Yue Qingling then left quickly.
As soon as he stepped out the door, Bai Ying said anxiously, her face turning red, "Master, how could you let him go? You have no idea how ruthless Leng Feiran is!"
She could always find a weakness in Qingling and then use that weakness to control him.
That's truly impossible to guard against!
Putting everything else aside, she was full of praise for the Azure Dragon Tendon move alone.
“Ying’er, nowadays, the Southern Continent and the Western Continent have joined forces, while the Northern Continent is in chaos. But they are lucky; so far, no invaders have appeared.”
But Dongzhou has already experienced this twice, so we can't act rashly!
"I've already said that if Yue Qingling is in even the slightest danger, we from Nanzhou can go straight there and fight our way. So, you should be able to rest assured now, right?"
Di Zhengchen patiently offered his advice.
Bai Ying sighed indignantly, but didn't say anything; she felt a pang of jealousy in her heart.
Yue Qingling is truly ungrateful; we gave him all the treasures, elixirs, supplies, and beautiful women, and he still wants to go back.
snort.
We must squeeze every last drop out of him tonight! Make him pay double!
...
This morning.
One night, ten days.
Yue Qingling looked somewhat haggard, and his lips were also a little pale.
He and several fellow Daoists arrived at the teleportation array.
Originally dressed as a female knight-errant, Huang Lixing had long since reverted to her previous flower bud-like makeup. She hugged Yue Qingling's arm with a happy expression, smiling like a flower.
She was in a cheerful mood and couldn't help feeling affectionate, so she kept rubbing against his shoulder to prove that the Yue Qingling in front of her was real.
Shen Rongrong's mind was completely on Yue Qingling. She said unhappily from the side, "Xing'er, control yourself. You've smeared your makeup on his clothes."
Huang Lixing ignored Shen Rongrong. She had finally found a husband, and she wasn't allowed to be intimate with him?
She laughed and said, "That's nonsense. I wasn't wearing any makeup, so how could I have powder on me?"
She didn't need any makeup at all; her youthful skin, nourished by love, was several times more beautiful than any makeup could provide.
"Oh, you're not wearing makeup? I thought the white spots on your face were from caked-up powder."
Shen Rongrong suddenly realized.
"Are there white spots?"
Huang Lixing let out a soft cry. She didn't have time to get close to Yue Qingling and quickly took out a bronze mirror from her storage bag to take a good look.
There can't be any white spots, it's too embarrassing.
Yue Qingling said with a wry smile, "She was just teasing you. She already wiped it clean for you."
Huang Lixing immediately pouted and said coquettishly, "Sister Rongrong, you're just being silly."
Shen Rongrong succeeded in her prank, and she covered her mouth and laughed from the side.
Holding an account book, Yue Wuyan said in a serious tone, "Qingling, have you prepared the gifts for Empress Leng? We in Nanzhou cannot be lacking in etiquette."
Yue Qingling laughed helplessly: "Sister Yue, do you really think she lacks these things?"
In keeping with the cooperative attitude of the two continents, Yue Wuyan prepared a large number of valuable gifts for Leng Feiran to prove the sincerity of the Southern Continent. Moreover, she was originally a person who paid attention to details.
But Yue Qingling knew that Leng Feiran wouldn't even look at these things.
Yue Wuyan said seriously, "Whether she needs it or not is her business. We have to do our job properly, right? Otherwise people will say that my Yao Palace is not as magnanimous as Qingyue Sect."
Yue Qingling smiled and shook her head. Even at this point, the two of them were still openly and secretly competing.
"I told you, Sister Yue, don't bother preparing anything. People are treating themselves as gifts, didn't you realize that?"
Lord Yue, remember to wash yourself properly.
Bai Ying stood by, making sarcastic remarks.
