Refining the Mountains and Rivers

After Qin Yu, who considered himself an honest person, was left visibly dissatisfied with the intense discontent of Dragini, the atmosphere in the imperial carriage hit rock bottom. Even breathing could be calmly heard, and even the sound of air passing through one's throat.

Dragini never expected that Qin Yu, who was so timid not too long ago, would dare to erupt with such an attitude. Her eyes were cold and as sharp as knives, as if thinking that he almost managed to conceal himself from her.

No, this wasn't right. He wasn't just hiding himself. There had to be another issue behind this, otherwise why would Qin Yu appear weak at the start but suddenly have such a strong performance today?

A sharp light exploded in Dragini's eyes and a thought appeared in her heart. He must have been doing this all intentionally, and his goal was that the sharp contrast in his personality would attract Peachy's attention.

Yes, it had to be this!

As this thought appeared, she was filled with shock and anger. In her mind, she had already lifted up her blade. This bastard, he was truly courageous to move against someone that I had chosen long ago!

Just wait for me!

The East Sea is my father's domain. This time, even if I have to cry and whine, even if I have to overturn the heavens and be scolded and punished, I will teach you what the Dragon Saint's thunder-quick methods are!

Even if you have the Spring Master as your backer, the East Sea can still make you regret ever coming to this world!

You might not die, but after losing 70-80 layers of skin, once you see this aunty you'll know how to yield and withdraw. You'll never have thoughts of touching what you shouldn't touch!

Thinking of this, Dragini sneered and closed her eyes. She instantly thought of 88 different ways to make Qin Yu suffer.

The malicious intent was so strong that Qin Yu would be an idiot not to feel it. This left him even more speechless. How strong was the East Sea Dragon Saint that he could cover for such a lawless daughter? Even though she knew he was a peach garden disciple, she still dared to brazenly plot against him!

He glanced at Peachy. She was calmly looking outside the window, completely unaware of the venomous atmosphere that flooded the imperial carriage.

Well, she was clearly disinclined to intervene. As he was at a loss for words, he thought that he had to be careful after entering the East Sea. He couldn't allow himself to be captured by Dragini because she would definitely go crazy on him.

But facts proved that defense was never as effective as offense. And, Qin Yu far underestimated the determination Dragini had in dealing with him.

As the imperial carriage entered the East Sea, they immediately received the highest level of treatment. They were eagerly escorted into the Dragon Palace on the seabed.

This was not only because the most beloved and lawless Sixth Princess had come - it was also because Peachy was in the carriage.

She was the daughter of the Spring Master and also his only bloodline descendant. Throughout the myriad heavens, her status was far higher than ordinary descendants of Saints.

And her status was because of how unique she was, as well as what the Spring Master had done for her over the years.

The peach garden's style was to cover up, cover up, and keep covering up their shortcomings. It's fine if I bully you, but never think of bullying me.

And this unreasonable point was increased ten times over when placed on Peachy…thus, the consequence of provoking Peachy was to receive the wrath of the Spring Master!

If there was a ranking list of Saints that could not be provoked, then Peachy would be ranked at the very top, even though she wasn't a Saint herself.

This spoke of one truth…one's background was far too important!

Almost no other guests had arrived yet. They were first received into the Dragon Palace and sent to their prearranged accommodations. Then, they would wait for the official opening of the birthday banquet. Dragini's imperial carriage continued without stopping, arriving at the sea trench where the Dragon Saint was cultivating in seclusion.

Standing within a crystal wall, a pair of giant eyes opened. A low and majestic chuckle sounded in everyone's ears.

"Peachy, you aren't sensible at all. I've sent many invitations to the peach garden over the years to invite you to stay at my Dragon Palace for some time, but you've never agreed. If it weren't for my longevity celebration, would you not have come?"

Peachy stepped out from the imperial carriage and bowed, "It was my mistake. I ask Lord Dragon Saint to forgive me."

The giant eyes in the crystal wall revealed a helpless look. "You, you still have such a cold personality. I really want to ask that peach-selling old man what he did for that little girl who used to be so cute and lovable to grow up like this."

Peachy remained silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Dragini snorted and said, "Father, you've been biased all this time, only ever thinking of Peachy. Your daughter is standing right here but you never ask a single thing of me when you see me. Isn't that just too much?"

The Dragon Saint coldly humphed. "You? I don't speak to you because I'm afraid that one day you'll anger me to death!"

Qin Yu silently approved. Indeed, a father knew his daughter best. He glanced at Dragini and thought that his words were true.

Sensing Qin Yu's look, Dragini coldly sneered. You still dare to watch this play? It seems you don't know how much trouble you're in! Suddenly, her eyes turned red and she sobbed, "Father, how can you say that about your daughter? I'm being bullied and you are still like this!" As she spoke, tears started to flow out.

This acting skill was just far too average. Crying once she said she was going to cry, that was far too fake.

Ah…but how come he suddenly had a foreboding premonition?

Qin Yu had a dignified feeling. Dragini was crying so shamelessly in front of Peachy, was she not afraid of losing face?

Although they hadn't had much contact, Qin Yu could clearly feel the pride and arrogance of this little girl. Her pride reached the extreme, and her arrogance also reached the extreme! For such a person to completely ignore all face, the only reason would be that there was an even bigger goal in mind.

Qin Yu felt more and more that something was wrong. He glanced at Dragini, and just happened to see her red eyes shooting a cold light at him.

Damn, this woman was going to mess with him!

The Dragon Saint frowned. He looked at Dragini and said, "Why are you crying? You are my daughter, so who would dare to bully you? Tell me who bullied you; your father will take responsibility!"

Dragini sobbed, "I can…but…his background isn't small…I fear it will make things awkward for father…"

She had even used this goading method, and it was so cheap and crude. Qin Yu roared in his heart. Just what kind of status did the Dragon Saint have? He definitely wouldn't fall for this!

But he was wrong.

The Dragon Saint's complexion clouded over and he sneered, "Just tell me what background this person who bullied you has, that even I must dread him."

Seeing that the temperature was just right, Dragini no longer delayed. She turned and pointed at Qin Yu, delivering her fatal blow. "It's that person!

"Big Sister Peachy accompanied me to the East Sea, and this person is a disciple of the peach garden. I allowed him to stay in my dragon palace, but I never thought…I never thought he would have such beastly tendencies. His courage was higher than the heavens and he dared to peep at me while I was bathing, and I even found him on the scene! This is too shameful to even talk about, and because I also didn't want to make things difficult for Big Sister Peachy, I patiently endured it. But today, when we were coming to the East Sea, this person had an extremely cold attitude towards me and I felt so aggrieved. I ask father to uphold justice for me!"

Shoddy, this was simply too shoddy. Compared to the acting stars that Qin Yu had encountered throughout his life's journey, this level of performance ability couldn't be any worse.

He was about to come to the East Sea, so who would be so stupid and lustful to peep at the Dragon Saint's daughter as she took a bath? Do you think so highly of yourself that a solemn peach garden disciple would do something when facing you?

And what was this about catching me on the spot and holding it in until now? Do you now know what sort of personality you have? You can even say such unreliable words. And what was this about me having a cold attitude on the way to the East Sea? This was just an insult to everyone's intelligence!

What nonsense, he couldn't help but panic!

It was true that a father knew his daughter best, but there was another problem if it was applied another way. If Dragini dared to try framing him using such clumsy means, this showed that she was supremely confident in herself.

At this moment, the Dragon Saint's eyes fell on Qin Yu. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly composed himself.

No matter what, he couldn't just sit still and wait for death. For better or worse, he was a disciple of the peach garden and the Dragon Saint had to give him some face.

Moreover, Peachy was here. She could not meddle in small problems, but if Dragini had such obvious ill intent, she couldn't stand by and do nothing.

"Junior Qin Yu greets Senior Dragon Saint."

Qin Yu bowed respectfully. Although he was annoyed and in disbelief at the Dragon Saint's attitude, he wouldn't reveal any of it at all.

The reason was simple. How about someone else reveal something? There was a hundred percent chance they would be blown up!

Not even a peach garden disciple's status could withstand disrespecting a True Saint. So Qin Yu definitely couldn't give the Dragon Saint a chance to go crazy.

With this, he finally understood the reason for Dragini's temper. It was because her father spoiled her too much!

The Dragon Saint's expression was faint. He said, "You are the Spring Master's new disciple?"

Qin Yu bowed. "Yes, I am seated ninth among the junior disciples of the peach garden."

"Then tell me," The Dragon Saint said, "What are you prepared to do about my daughter?"

Qin Yu said, "Reporting to Dragon Saint, I can guarantee with my life that Dragini must have misunderstood things. I never had a single thought of offending her."

He thought about rejecting it all and saying that everything Dragini said was made up and he was innocent from head to toe…forget it, even if that was the truth, he wouldn't say it, otherwise what would happen afterwards?

Was he supposed to say that not only was Dragini spouting nonsense, but that a solemn Dragon Saint was blind to believe her?

That was just courting death!

So Qin Yu could only use this sort of relatively temperate method to indicate his own stance.

No one dared to look directly into the Dragon Saint's eyes, so none of them realized that his eyes flashed with appreciation…and envy.

The Space Laws weren't much. The East Sea had several subordinates who had crossed that threshold. As for withstanding his undying mark…okay, this was indeed amazing and it proved that Qin Yu was far stronger than he appeared on the surface.

That's right. At first glance, he didn't need Qin Yu to introduce himself to determine that this was the boy who had no idea of death or danger and had touched the mark.

Now, he discovered another merit of Qin Yu.

He was intelligent and knew when to retreat!

This was especially rare.

He wasn't the most talented amongst the dragon race bloodline, nor did he have the best luck and destiny. But why did he manage to rise up in the end and become the Dragon Saint?

The reason was that he was an intelligent dragon!

A smart person could live a long time. And by living longer, one had a chance to walk further than others, and have even greater achievements.
