Chapter 681: Cannot Be Treated Unfairly
The Dragon God and the Human God ceased their activity and returned to their seats. As for the other alien water gods, they remained silent from beginning to end.
Factional disputes have existed since ancient times. Dragons were originally the dominant party, and humans came later, so naturally there was a lot of friction.
Although the alien water gods do not speak and are not the majority, they are still a considerable number.
Factional disputes are bound to cause a lot of talk, but in fact, they are already mild among the water gods. Whether the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind prevails over the east wind, it is actually harmless.
The truly serious disputes are over water bodies. Water is a living thing, and disputes between upstream and downstream, main streams and tributaries, territory and water bodies involve tangible interests. Regardless of faction, the water gods involved will fight to the death and refuse to give an inch.
The situation is now relatively easy to handle. The Golden Dragon King can handle it with his majesty if he appears.
With everything settled, the Golden Dragon King stood up, stepped down from the throne, and reiterated the purpose of this gathering: "You are all divine masters who govern a region. There is no need for me to teach you word for word. Techniques without principles will not last long. Virtue unworthy of position will inevitably lead to disaster. Do not say I did not warn you."
The entire water palace was lit up with golden light, illuminating the clear sky and auspicious colors.
The water gods present all stood up and bowed, saying, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
The golden light faded, and the Golden Dragon King disappeared without a trace.
Prime Minister Ao bowed to the water gods and said, "Thank you all for your help."
The water gods shouted that they dared not, and stepped forward one by one to bid farewell to Prime Minister Ao.
In the end, only the Dragon God of the Great Snow Mountain and the old dragons who spoke for Tiechen were left.
The Great Snow Mountain Dragon God walked up to Tie Kun and asked, "You are the son of the Dragon King Tieji and Yuezhu. Why don't you come to find me?"
Tie Kun sneered and said, "The Great Snow Mountain Dragon God has over a hundred descendants, it's amazing that you can still remember my mother's name."
The Snow Mountain Dragon God said unhappily, "Your mother's temper is fine, but you have a special status. If you had come to find me earlier, why would you have traveled so far?"
Tie Kun's eyes gradually turned red, and he said, "Don't worry about it, Great Snow Mountain Dragon God."
The Snow Mountain Dragon God was about to say something more when one of the old dragons suddenly came forward, grabbed his arm, and said, "Old brother, it's been a while. Come on, let's go to my house for a drink."
As he spoke, he winked at Tie Kun and dragged the Snow Mountain Dragon God out. The Snow Mountain Dragon God struggled but failed to break free and could only glare at Tie Kun angrily.
The remaining old dragons rushed forward, pushing or blocking, separating the two.
San Qiansui and Tie Chen hurriedly pushed Tie Kun back behind the screen beside the throne, fearing that he would fight with the Dragon God of the Great Snow Mountain.
Prime Minister Ao stood in the hall, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea. The Dragon God of the Great Snow Mountain did not dare to attack and was pushed out of the door by the two old dragons.
After the Great Snow Mountain Dragon God's carriage left, the two old dragons came back.
The waiting Dragon Gods laughed and said, "Why didn't you invite that old man back for a drink?"
The two dragon gods laughed and said, "That old fellow is in a rage, how could he be in the mood to drink?"
"This old man doesn't cultivate himself. He gave birth but didn't raise him. What was he born for?"
"I heard that the Snow Mountain is full of dragons. I think disaster will happen sooner or later."
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore."
The old dragons turned around and hid behind the screen. Looking at the Three Thousand Year Old Man and the brothers Tie Kun and Tie Chen, they said happily, "Good nephew, you are so brave to endure humiliation. Well done!"
Tie Kun couldn't bear to listen any longer and left with a huff.
"Huh?"
"Brother!" Tie Chen was about to chase him but was stopped by San Qian Sui.
The Three Thousand Years Old said, "Dear Dragon Kings, the eldest young master is angry and may have been rude. Please bear with me. I will go and see him."
Having said that, he quickly followed Tie Kun out.
The other dragon kings thought Tie Kun was still angry with the Great Snow Mountain Dragon King, and they could understand. They patted Tie Chen on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy for your brother. That old man from the Great Snow Mountain has a lot of dirty tricks. He can come all the way to assist you in becoming the Taihu God. You must not treat him unfairly."
Tie Chen felt even more ashamed and said, "One day, I will ask you to be the first to use the treasures of Taihu Lake and the sacred treasures of the gods."
Princess Lingyi came forward through a screen to reminisce about the past with Prime Minister Ao.
Prime Minister Ao is also an old man in the Dragon Palace. He followed the Dragon Girl from Dongting Lake and later became the Prime Minister of the Golden Dragon King. He then followed the Golden Dragon King all the way to the Dragon Palace on the Yangtze River.
Xia Gu came forward to greet her aunt and invited her, "Aunt, you must come back to the Dragon Palace with me. Mother has been thinking about you all the time."
Princess Lingyi couldn't refuse the invitation and said, "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. I was just about to visit the Dragon Palace."
Hanzhang naturally had to follow Princess Lingyi to the Dragon Palace on the Yangtze River. After all, Gong Mengbi was not as free as these water gods. In troubled times, the earthly immortals who entered the world were destined to be busy and toiled.
Although the matter in Taihu Lake has not been resolved yet, it will take some time for Jin Ting Daxian's cheap disciple to take over Taihu Lake, and there will definitely be a gap between Cai Leiguan and him for a long time, but these are not things that Jin Ting Daxian has to solve, let alone things that Gong Mengbi has to solve.
Hanzhang, Lingyi and Xiagu rushed to the Dragon Palace on the Yangtze River to reunite with relatives and old friends.
Such a scene inevitably made Gong Mengbi feel homesick.
Gong Mengbi then resigned, saying, "You guys are going to the Yangtze River Dragon Palace, but I won't be going. This matter of the Five Gods has delayed a lot of my important work. I've been appointed the Fox Master of Dongyang County, but I haven't done much serious work. I'm afraid someone will catch me and make a accusation against me."
Han Zhang couldn't help but laugh. "You're already a fourth-rank Daoist, yet you're serving as a seventh-rank Fox Priest. And you've accomplished such great feats. And yet, someone still dares to accuse you of something?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Who can say for sure? I'm afraid someone has lost their mind."
He cupped his hands and said, "Sister, Brother, thank you so much for this time. Please also express my gratitude to the Golden Dragon King on my behalf. If it weren't for his generosity, the Taihu God's matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily."
Xia Gu had a say in this matter and said, "We should thank you. The Taihu God has caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. If the Tianfu investigates, my father will inevitably be blamed for not keeping a strict discipline."
Gong Mengbi said: "Then it can be considered as a coincidence, the result of fate."
Princess Lingyi was reluctant to leave and said, "You're leaving just after we met. I don't know when we'll meet again."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "There's still a long way to go. As long as I come to you next time and ask for help, Senior Sister won't turn me away."
Princess Lingyi also laughed and said, "You're so talkative."
His Highness Han Zhang coughed and said, "Don't bother with him. He's just a troublemaker. Let him do whatever he wants."
Xia Gu reminded: "As promised, don't forget to invite me next time."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and sighed, "Well, it seems that I am really a disaster."
Several people laughed together. Amidst their laughter, Gong Mengbi had already bowed and turned into an undercurrent, stirring up dozens of bubbles. As the bubbles slowly dispersed and burst, they disappeared into the water palace.
