"Back then... If I hadn't stopped him and Ying'er, perhaps I wouldn't have wasted these three hundred years in vain. I must have been really wrong..." Upon hearing this, Ao Guang's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he murmured.
"Senior, it's past, there's no point in talking about right or wrong." Shen Luo looked at Ao Guang in front of him. This arrogant Dragon King of the East China Sea, the head of the four seas, did not seem to show the slightest majesty of a king at this moment, but instead showed the helplessness of a father.
“That’s true. It’s meaningless to regret it now... You said before that you didn’t know what your mission was, and you didn’t know what you should do. So why not go to the Flower and Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country and take a look?” Ao Guang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled.
"Huaguo Mountain... why do we want to go there?" Shen Luo asked puzzledly.
"Before Sun Wukong became a Buddha after obtaining the Buddhist scriptures, he raised the banner of 'The Great Sage Equaling Heaven' in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. Since you really don't know what to do, you might as well go and look for Sun Wukong's traces. Perhaps you can get some inspiration." Ao Guang's eyes fell on Shen Luo and he said slowly.
"What you said is quite right, senior. I will go to Huaguo Mountain for a visit." After hearing this, Shen Luo thought for a moment and nodded.
"Wait until Hong'er completes the inheritance before leaving. It can be seen that he values you as a friend." Ao Guang said again.
"That's what I planned too." Shen Luo nodded.
When he came out of Shuixiu Palace, he saw Ao Hong at a glance, standing alone under a pillar waiting for him.
"Brother Shen." Seeing Shen Luo coming out, he immediately greeted him.
"What? Are you still worried that I will be detained by your father?" Shen Luo quickly went up to him.
"Brother Shen, stop joking. Since you knew that my eldest sister was a traitor, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Ao Hong sighed and said.
"What's the use of telling you? With your personality, you will probably help to keep it secret and go to see her in private. But you also know what happened in Longyuan. We almost couldn't come back, and Ao Xin even lost his life. Can you not care about all this?" Shen Luo asked.
"I..." Ao Hong was about to speak when he was interrupted by Shen Luo.
"Even if you won't help her hide it, you will still feel sorry for it. Why should I make things difficult for you?" Shen Luo said.
After hearing this, Ao Hong's frown slowly relaxed and he looked a little discouraged.
"Brother Ao, seriously, you should change your temper. When you lead the East China Sea and even become the new leader of the four seas in the future, you can't be so indecisive anymore." Shen Luo stopped and said seriously.
"I won't do that again." Ao Hong took a deep breath and said solemnly.
After saying this, he led Shen Luo forward and did not mention a word about the conversation between Shen Luo and the Dragon King.
Afterwards, Ao Hong settled Shen Luo in a dragon palace and left.
Shen Luo returned to the house, meditated on the bed for a while, then opened his eyes again. He turned his wrist and a green stone slab appeared in his palm.
It was the piece that was previously obtained from the Dragon Palace treasury.
He stroked the stone slab, slowly brushing across the mossy surface. Where his fingertips touched, he could feel a rich water-attributed spiritual energy.
