Chapter 16
"Young Master Zhao, what do you think about this?" A voice came from a distance.
"I don't have any opinions, and I don't want to participate. With my family's background, it's not enough to make Dragon God moved." Zhao An smiled and shook his head, looking helpless.
The scene was quiet for a moment, and everyone on the table was thinking about it.
Having the opportunity to seek help from Dragon God is something that everyone here dreams of.
But it is not that easy. The Dragon God is high and the people with insufficient status cannot meet them. Even if they see them, they have to take out enough chips that will make the Dragon God excited.
Zhongli's eyes flashed. I wonder if the things his father prepared could impress the Dragon God of Lihe. The Dragon God's face was very valuable. If the second prince made a move in the middle, he might not have another chance to get the help of the Dragon God.
Next, everyone stopped talking about this matter. As for what everyone thinks, it is unknown.
The banquet was quite harmonious on the surface, and everyone stopped talking about the Dragon God.
However, Zhongli was not interested in wasting time here anymore and was eager to go home to discuss with his father.
"Brother Zhao, I still have some things to take my leave first!" After dinner, Zhongli came directly to Zhao An's table and said with his fists.
Chen Jin's face showed a hint of disdain, but he quickly calmed down. Zhao An stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhong, why bother to worry? Today's banquet is all young talents in the capital. It's good to stay here to make more friends."
"I really have something to do today. I'll ask Brother Zhao back after that!" Zhongli was not at all concerned about this at this moment, just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
"Since that's the case, I won't force myself to stay with Brother Zhong, I'll give you it!" Zhao An made a gesture and left the seat.
Zhongli turned around and walked outside.
"Brother Zhong, why are you so anxious? Do you need my help?" Zhao An still looked smiling and asked Zhongli.
"It's nothing, it's just family matters, so I won't bother Brother Zhao."
Zhao An looked at Zhongli deeply, and the two of them quickly walked out of the gate of Huanxi Pavilion. Zhao An asked Zhongli softly: "Brother Zhong, aren't your family planning to seek help from Dragon God?"
Zhongli raised his eyebrows. Did Zhao An know something or was he testing himself?
"No." Zhongli's face was calm.
"Haha, if you can get the help of Dragon God, maybe Brother Zhong's body..."
"With this way, it's not worth the family's spending so much money to seek the Dragon God. Besides, it may not be useful." Zhongli smiled bitterly.
Zhao An didn't say much after hearing this, but his eyes were still full of doubts.
Zhongli greeted Zhao An, turned around and walked towards the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhao An looked at Zhongli's back and muttered softly, went back to Huanxi Pavilion and continued to eat and drink with everyone.
When Zhongli returned to the mansion, Zhong Yun was still taking a nap. Zhongli had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the pool to see how Lingxi was doing first.
In an environment with rich water vapor, Lingxi is like a fish in water and has been reluctant to come out of the pool.
In the morning, after Zhongli persuaded him in all kinds of ways, Ling Xi finally agreed not to create fog.
Zhongli stood by the pool and saw Ling Xi sitting on the water practicing, and was a little surprised. This little fairy looked very compatible with nature. When practicing on the water, he could vaguely see the Taoist qi gathering into her body.
Hearing Zhongli's footsteps, Ling Xi's ears moved, but ignored Zhongli and did not care about his body that was almost completely exposed outside.
"Cough cough." Seeing that Ling Xi ignored her, Zhongli could only take the initiative to make some sound to attract her attention.
"What are you doing?" Ling Xi's crisp voice came.
"Come here, I'll try to practice with you if it's effective."
After hearing Zhongli's words, Ling Xi almost instantly arrived in front of Zhongli, and his nose was stuck together with Zhongli's nose, which scared Zhongli.
"Go back a little..." Seeing the other party coming, he stood still, with big eyes on him, Zhongli was a little embarrassed and said to Ling Xi.
Ling Xi took two steps back obediently. When she arrived on the shore, she seemed quite uncomfortable and twisted her body uncomfortably.
Zhongli stretched out his right hand and pulled Ling Xi's left hand, closed his eyes and sensed the Taoist qi.
The Taoist practiced by Lingxi is also related to water. Zhongli thought that it should be able to help himself improve.
While sensing the radius of air, Zhongli suddenly opened his eyes, and the water vapor quickly gathered on the palm of his left hand, forming a smiling dragon shape.
"It's done!" Zhongli's eyes were full of excitement.
With Ling Xi's help, his understanding of Taoism suddenly rose to a higher level, and he could actually condense into a dragon shape. Although he was very weak, he had made great progress.
The little dragon condensed by water vapor in the left hand quickly dissipated. After all, Zhongli's realm was too shallow and could not be maintained for a long time.
Knowing that his guess was right, Zhongli was very excited.
Ling Xi looked at Zhongli who was smiling foolishly, with a confused look on his face, not knowing what this fool is laughing at here.
"You can continue to practice." Zhongli said to Ling Xi.
Lingxi returned to the water and returned to his previous cheerful posture, like an elf in the water. His graceful posture also attracted several servants around him to look into the pool from time to time.
"Now I am still in the first realm of false nature. As long as I complete the last step and completely cure the hidden diseases, I can truly understand the principles of Tao, absorb the Taoist qi, and truly start practicing!" Zhongli said in his heart.
Zhongli was even more anxious about getting the help of Lihe Dragon God.
Soon, Zhong Yun woke up from a nap, Lu Yuan ran over to report, and Zhongli quickly rushed to the study.
Seeing that Zhong Li was coming back so soon, Zhong Yun was a little surprised. He thought Zhong Li would stay at the banquet for a while and make some contacts.
"Father, I just went to attend a banquet organized by Zhao An. I heard Zhao An say something. I think it is necessary to come back and discuss it with my father." Zhongli looked solemn.
Seeing Zhongli's expression, Zhong Yun vaguely thought that it might not be good news, but he still kept calm as much as possible.
"Tell me."
Zhongli said what Zhao An said at the banquet to Zhong Yun.
"What? The second prince is also planning to ask for help from the Dragon God!?" Zhong Yun slapped the table, walked to the table, and paced back and forth.
"The second prince, this guy, is really ambitious!" Zhong Yun sighed.
Zhongli also nodded: "It is only possible to seek help from the Dragon God at this time to seize the throne."
Immediately, Zhong Yun said again: "But this is a bit risky. Once the prince or his majesty discovers, he will be killed without a place to die!"
At this sensitive time, the second prince crossed the emperor to meet the Dragon God. Once discovered, not only the prince could not spare him, but even the emperor would think that he had the intention to rebel.
"This also shows how eager the second prince is for the throne!" Zhong Yun continued.
Zhongli's face was also very serious. Before the second prince invited his father to the banquet, Zhongli knew that the second prince must have had some plans, but he did not expect that the second prince was so impatient. Once this move was revealed, the body and head would be different.
But what Zhong Yun was worried about at this moment was another thing.
"If the second prince really wants to see Lord Dragon God first, whether it is his status or the treasures he owns, it is very likely that he will convince Dragon God, then it will be difficult for us to get the help of Dragon God again!" Zhong Yun's face was not very good-looking. After waiting for so many years, in order to cure his son's illness, is it time that he will fail?
Zhongli pondered for a while, thinking about how to crack it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Father, the child has an idea, but..."
Hearing that Zhongli had a solution, Zhong Yun was happy and ran to Zhongli in two steps, grabbing Zhongli's shoulder.
"What's the solution? Li'er, tell me!"
Zhong Yun was excited, and the strength in his hand became a little heavier, which made Zhongli grin.
"Father, don't be anxious!" Zhongli hurriedly comforted his father: "The child is just an idea, and once he does this, you, my father and son will have to take sides!"
Zhong Yun was stunned for a moment, then said, "Are you planning to go to the prince to report this matter?"
Zhongli shook his head and told the prince what benefits he could get. Besides, he had no evidence to prove that the second prince would do these things.
"The child wants to discuss with the second prince and get the stone of enlightenment in his hand!"
Zhong Yun was startled by his son and stared at Zhongli with wide eyes.
"What are you kidding!?"
