“This…”
Ao Luoxi’s expression immediately turned a little ugly as she listened to these words.
Originally, if she had just listened to these guys saying things like, “The path you Cultivate is not good, you should change to another path,” she had heard such words countless times before, and her heart would not have had too many ripples or thoughts.
But now, after these guys changed their rhetoric, her state of mind began to waver and change.
After all, the Dao cultivation of her brothers and sisters had truly increased substantially, while hers, due to the path of incense offerings, had become difficult to advance.
This comparison made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
It seemed her younger brother was very clever, knowing what kind of words he would hear if he came here, so he simply didn’t come.
Now, all these words were directed at her alone.
“Look, when you first started Cultivating the path of incense offerings, your Dao cultivation indeed advanced a thousand miles a day, and we couldn’t compare to you. But now, although I don’t know how high your current Dao cultivation is, I can somewhat sense that your Dao cultivation doesn’t seem to have made any progress.”
“If you continue like this, in the future, all of us who Cultivate here will have hundreds or thousands of years of Dao cultivation, while yours will still only be a few decades or a hundred years. How can that work?”
Ao Yu looked at Ao Luoxi, speaking earnestly and persuading her tirelessly, only hoping that she would change her mind and not follow the old path of his father.
Ao Luoxi’s expression changed continuously as she listened, looking incredibly conflicted.
These people spoke easily, but she had already embarked on this path; how could it be so simple to change to another path now?
Thinking this, she shook her head repeatedly.
“Sister, brother, what are you talking about?”
Just as Ao Luoxi was listening with a helpless expression, a childish voice sounded from the side.
“Go away, what do you care what we’re talking about? Go to the children’s table.”
The young Dragons heard the voice, looked down, and saw it was the East Sea Dragon King’s daughter. They immediately waved their hands, shooing her away.
This little one was too young; she wasn’t for their table.
The little one heard this, immediately pouted, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears, “Those guys haven’t been weaned yet, I don’t want to be at their table! I’m not a child anymore!”
The little one said this in a childish voice, but her tone was very firm.
“Look at you, you’re about to cry, and you say you’re not a child!”
Ao Fan glanced at the little one and sneered.
The little one sniffed at these words, “I am not!”
“Alright, alright, let her stay.”
Ao Luoxi watched this scene, helplessly waved her hand, and said.
This fellow, she really did seem a bit disliked now, much like her own situation.
The little one heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to Ao Luoxi’s side, gripping her arm tightly.
The young Dragons shook their heads at this, looking helpless.
“Speaking of which, what have you decided? Given the lifespan of our Dragon Clan, no matter how difficult Cultivating is, it’s much simpler than your Cultivating.”
Ao Yu turned his head and said to Ao Luoxi.
The few young Dragons beside them drank their wine and nodded repeatedly. Ao Luoxi sighed at the words, “I’ll think about it again.”
“Then you really need to think about it carefully. We are also doing this for your own good. Decades ago, we told you and your brother and sister several times. If only you had listened, your Dao cultivation would have increased by at least ten years, wouldn’t it?”
Ao Yu said, and after a sigh, he stopped persuading.
The words of persuasion over the years were not few.
After visiting the Dragon Palaces of the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea, they were all met with no less persuasion.
It was just that at that time, these two fellows both believed they could comprehend the Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation Technique, and as a result, they dragged it out until now, achieving neither success nor fame.
Ao Luoxi listened silently. After a moment, seeing these fellows chatting animatedly about their Cultivating progress, and realizing she couldn’t interject at all, she sighed inwardly and got up to leave.
Ao Qing, sitting above, also noticed this scene. His eyes moved slightly, and he couldn’t help but sigh.
His heart now also began to waver, making him ponder if he had made a mistake.
If she hadn’t followed his path, would his daughter’s Cultivating journey have been much better?
Thinking of this, Ao Qing’s expression couldn’t help but turn melancholic… “This is delicious, that is also delicious!”
He Xiuyuan, sitting in the corner, was currently savoring the delicacies on the table with great relish. He nodded frequently, extremely satisfied with the dishes.
“Come, add another plate of these few items for me.”
He Xiuyuan waved to the maid beside him and said.
The maid looked at this scene, slightly astonished. Other guests were all chatting and drinking. It was truly the first time she had seen someone like He Xiuyuan, eating and drinking heartily by himself in this manner.
Now, seeing He Xiuyuan’s request, she smiled slightly and immediately nodded. Then, she quickly tidied up the table for He Xiuyuan and brought him the specific dishes He Xiuyuan had requested.
“Mr. He seems to really like it here!”
Ao Luoxi walked around the main hall, not knowing where to go. Seeing He Xiuyuan happily eating by himself in the corner, she couldn’t help but walk over.
Watching He Xiuyuan actively asking for more dishes, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing He Xiuyuan like this, some of the worries in her heart from earlier even dissipated.
He Xiuyuan looked up at the sound, and when he saw Ao Luoxi in front of him, he couldn’t help but smile, “It’s you…”
Saying that, He Xiuyuan glanced forward, his expression becoming a little surprised, “You have time to come to me now?”
Looking at the young Dragons in front, they all seemed to be chatting happily, so why would she be interested in coming to him?
“It’s too boring over there, I don’t like it.”
Ao Luoxi didn’t know how to answer, so after thinking for a moment, she found an excuse.
He Xiuyuan nodded in understanding at the words. If that was the case, it made sense.
“Then would you like to eat something here with me?”
He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, pointed to the table in front of him, and said.
Ao Luoxi thought about it and realized there was nowhere else to go. He Xiuyuan’s corner was quieter, which was not bad.
Thinking this, Ao Luoxi smiled brightly, pulled the little one beside her, and immediately sat down.
