Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Seeing Li Guanhai coming back, the three women stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Yin Bingyan looked him up and down and saw that although he had not yet reached the Hedao realm, he seemed to have a lot more insights into the Xuanxian realm, and his temperament had changed a little compared to before.

Han Lingxuan smiled and said, "Hey, Li Guanhai, you're back."

Yang Chan'er only looked at him for a few times and then retracted her gaze, but put the chess pieces back into the chess box, obviously no longer in the mood to play chess.

Li Guanhai also greeted them, and then asked, "Where are they?"

He was naturally asking about Gu Xichao and Lu Yulin.

Han Lingxuan shook her head and looked around, "Well, I don't know. I was playing chess with Chan'er just now and didn't notice where they went."

Yin Bingyan on the side said: "Lu Yulin took Dong Qingyu to the Alchemy Building. As for Gu Xichao, she went to the outer island to visit her father. She should be back soon."

"Oh."

Li Guanhai nodded, stared at Yin Bingyan for a long time, and said: "Strange, I haven't seen you for a while, and your cultivation seems to have improved a lot."

"Yes, my cultivation in my previous life is gradually recovering, so I have made rapid progress during this period." Yin Bingyan said.

After chatting with them for a few more words, Li Guanhai left here and went to the main peak temple to meet his father Li Yuan.

The father and son chatted for a long time before Li Guanhai went to the Qibing Building.

In fact, he already had the answer in his mind whether the magic weapon that can gather the national destiny has been refined. It is likely that it has not been refined yet.

The reason is very simple. If it had been refined, Dong Qingyu would have followed her grandfather to leave Yunwei Division and return to Liuding Liujia Palace.

But I just heard from Yin Bingyan that Dong Qingyu was taken to the Alchemy Building by Lu Yulin, which means that Elder Dong is still in Yunwei Division.

Arriving at the Qibing Building, under the guidance of a young disciple, they came to the door of the weapon refining room. Sure enough, the stone door was closed, and there was no sign of the formation arranged outside the door being opened. Obviously, Elder Yang and Elder Dong had never stepped out of the weapon refining room during this period.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still sense the breath of the two people in the weapon refining room, Li Guanhai would almost doubt whether there was an accident inside.

After leaving the Qibing Building, Li Guanhai did not return to the island where he lived, but directly left the inner island and went to the territory of the Gu family.

The arrival of Li Guanhai surprised and delighted the entire Gu family. The head of the family, Gu Zhuang, personally led a group of elders to greet him.

Gu Xichao was right beside her father. When she saw Li Guanhai again, she couldn't hide her longing for him at all. Her mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she was obviously very happy.

After staying at the Gu family for two hours and talking to Gu Xichao for a lot of things, Li Guanhai left Yunwei Division and went to the East China Sea front.

During the few days when he returned to the East China Sea front, the last two rounds of the Ancient Dragon Clan's competition also began.

Ao Shuo was very lucky to have drawn a bye, so the two sides were Ao Zhen and Ao Tai.

The two brothers fought for more than a hundred moves, and the final result was that Ao Zhen lost and Ao Tai advanced.

This result was actually within the expectations of the elders and clansmen of the Ancient Dragon Clan. Although Ao Zhen was the eldest son of the Dragon Emperor, his cultivation had also reached the Xuansheng Realm.

But Ao Tai was recognized as the most talented of the Dragon Emperor's nine sons, except for the third prince Ao Wuji, and his insights in martial arts were also obvious to everyone, so in the eyes of everyone, Ao Zhen was no match for Ao Tai.

The final result was as expected by everyone. Ao Tai defeated Ao Zhen and successfully advanced to the last round.

This last competition was actually the least suspenseful, but it was also the most watched competition.

The reason why it was said to be suspenseful was that the gap between Ao Shuo and Ao Tai was too big. Although Ao Shuo defeated an opponent in the Xuansheng realm in the last round of competition, there were also differences in strength among the Xuansheng realm. Obviously, Ao Tai belonged to the very strong category.

Although Ao Shuo won the last round of competition, it was a narrow victory. Now facing Ao Tai, he had no chance of winning at all.

Not only did the members of the Ancient Dragon Clan think so, even Ao Shuo himself had no confidence that he could beat his second brother.

Over the years, he was looked down upon by his brothers and sisters, but he was close to Ao Tai. Because of this, he knew how terrifying Ao Tai's talent and his insights on martial arts were.

Even if he had Li Guanhai's help, he had no confidence that he could beat Ao Tai.

The last round of competition started that afternoon. As a result, the brothers only fought for dozens of moves. For some reason, Ao Tai gave up halfway through the fight, and Ao Shuo won the final victory inexplicably.

The elders and tribesmen of the Ancient Dragon Clan were puzzled, and Ao Shuo was the same. So when he heard why Ao Tai gave up, Ao Tai's answer was that he was not interested in the position of Dragon King. He only loved to study martial arts. As for why he participated in this competition, it was because he wanted to kick out those who were not suitable to be Dragon King but had the opportunity to be Dragon King.

This person was Ao Zhen.

In fact, it stands to reason that Ao Zhen is indeed the most suitable candidate to be Dragon King. First of all, he is the son of Dragon King, and the eldest son. Since ancient times, passing the throne to abolish the eldest and establishing the youngest is a way to cause chaos, so in terms of identity, Ao Zhen is undoubtedly the first choice.

The second is talent. Although Ao Zhen's talent is not the strongest among the nine children of the Dragon King, it is definitely not bad.

His only flaw is his temperament, which is also the main reason why Ao Tai wanted to prevent him from becoming Dragon King.

Ao Zhen is too arrogant and too strong. The key is that he does not have the tolerance to tolerate others. This can be seen from how he treated Ao Shuo over the years.

Ao Shuo was useless to him, so he also disdained Ao Shuo, which was fine, but he still targeted him from time to time, which was a problem with his tolerance.

As the eldest prince of the ancient dragon clan, the eldest son of the Dragon Emperor, he did not have the demeanor of a great man, but he was fussy about some trivial matters. Although they were all trivial matters, they could also reflect his character flaws.

Ao Zhen's shortcomings were more than these. Ao Tai saw these shortcomings of his, so he stopped him and did not want Ao Zhen to lead the ancient dragon clan to decline.

Assuming that he really sat on the position of the Dragon Emperor, every decision he made in the future might completely change the fate of the ancient dragon clan. If he was in a bad mood one day and acted impulsively, the consequences would have to be borne by the entire ancient dragon clan, and it would be too late to regret it then.

On the other hand, Ao Shuo still had a reputation in the ancient dragon clan. He did not do nothing in these years. On the contrary, he did a lot of things, which was enough to prove his ability.

Being able to do things is not enough. The key is that Ao Shuo also knows how to behave. Anyone who has worked with him or had contact with him will not have any bad feelings towards him. However, because of his awkward identity, his development has been restricted in recent years. He has only a small reputation in the ancient dragon tribe, which is not very loud.

During this period, several consecutive competitions have completely made him show his face in front of the elders and members of the ancient dragon tribe. Everyone finally began to take the seventh son of the Dragon King seriously.

In Ao Tai's opinion, Ao Shuo is more suitable to be the Dragon King than Ao Zhen. Regardless of their abilities and talents, Ao Shuo is definitely better than Ao Zhen in terms of temperament.
