Chapter 9: The Shocked Emperor

raising livestock so clearly.In ten years, Ye Qingyun learned everything the system taught him besides cultivation.And he was also given the title of the All-Powerful Saint.Who knows what use the titl..."Dragon... you... Dragon!"

The lone moon stammered, pointing at the back of Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun was furious at once.

You're the deaf one, my ears are fine!

The lone moon was incredibly anxious.

"You... you... there's a dragon behind you!"

Ye Qingyun was startled.

Is there a dragon behind me

He turned to look, but saw only a pond that rippled gently.

No more dragon talk.

Not even a sparrow was seen.

Ye Qingyun turned his head again, eyeing Gu Yue with suspicion.

"This guy can't be insane, right"

He was thinking that.

Gū yuè què shì mǒng le.

Let me break it down:* **孤月 (gū yuè)** - Lonely moon* **卻 (què)** - Yet, but* **是 (shì)** - Is, to be* **懵了 (mǒng le)** - To be dumbfounded, confusedSo the full translation is "Yet, the lonely moon was dumbfounded."

Because when Ye Qingyun turned around, the dragon's head immediately retracted into the water.

When Ye Qingyun turned back, the dragon's head popped out of the water again.

Still staring intently at the lone moon.

The lone moon person went crazy.

Is this dragon targeting me

However, judging by its appearance, this dragon seems to be very respectful of the seemingly ordinary human in front of it.

Wait a moment!

Suddenly, Gumu thought of what the rabbit demon had just said.

The owner of this place

Could it be this mortal

If it were just an ordinary person, how could they possibly be acknowledged by a rabbit demon And why would the dragon in the pond show them such reverence

Gu Yue's eyes looking at Ye Qingyun had completely changed.

This is definitely not an ordinary person!

But I'm just not deep enough in cultivation to see through this person's true powers.

Gu Yue must have felt lonely in her heart.

Only this explanation can make sense of everything here.

"I just, actually treated such a profound and unfathomable master with that kind of attitude. It's truly courting death!"

Gūyuè felt a chill run down her spine in the darkness. She couldn't help but feel a tinge of luck that she had escaped unscathed.

As soon as he thought about how he had treated Ye Qingyun before, he wished he could slap himself twice.

"This junior is blind and unaware of Mount Tai's grandeur, having offended the senior. I humbly ask for your forgiveness!"

Gumu Yue immediately knelt down before Ye Qingyun.

This rather embarrassed Ye Qingyun.

You said you were fine, yet you knelt down before me

This isn't Chinese New Year.

"Hey hey hey, what's wrong with you Are you trying to scam me"

Ye Qingyun looked wary.

Humph.

He doesn't buy that.

Gū yuè è rán tái tóu.

Fake accident

What is "touch porcelain"

Could this be a senior's advice to me

Such a distinguished person, their words and deeds are beyond my shallow cultivation to comprehend. There must be a deep meaning behind it!

Gu Yue felt an increasing sense of awe for Ye Qingyun, who seemed almost divine to her.

Just kidding.

Able to make a real dragon bow and submit.

This is simply miraculous!

I ask you, throughout the entire land, how many people can make a dragon submit to them

In any case, there's absolutely no such person in the Tianwu Dynasty.

"Forgive me, seniors. I was too rude just now!"

The lone moon hung its head low, wearing an expression of humility.

Besides Martial Emperor Dongfang Su, this is the second person to kneel before him.

But Gu Yue felt that there was nothing wrong.

Ye Qingyun scratched his head.

"I'm not some senior here, stand up first."

Gu Yue carefully stood up.

What are you here for

Ye Qingyun asked.

The lone moon greets with a cupped hand.

"I am Gumu, a personal guard of Emperor Dongfang Su. The Emperor sensed the presence of dragon qi surging into the heavens here, and thus sent me to investigate."

Ye Qingyun was taken aback.

Is the martial emperor heading east, solemnly

Isn't that the emperor of the Wu Dynasty that day

Could it be that the person before me is sent by the emperor

That's a big shot!

Wasn't Ye Qingyun from the world of masters inside the palace before

Boo.

Ye Qingyun immediately changed his face as well.

"It seems to be an important person from the Imperial Palace. I'm so rude."

Saying that, he bowed to Gumuet.

This left Gumu speechless and nearly forced him to kneel again.

They were all very polite to each other.

They were almost bowing to each other.

"This recluse, I imagine, has chosen to live here and experience the mundane life of ordinary people. That's why he appears before me in the guise of a commoner and steadfastly denies his extraordinary status."

Under the lonely moon, she thought to herself.

Since this esteemed individual is unwilling to acknowledge his true identity, I wouldn't want to keep exposing him, lest it incur his displeasure.

Thinking of this, Gu Yue calmed down.

"May I ask for your name, sir"

Seeing Gu Yue speak like this, Ye Qingyun felt much better.

Being constantly addressed as "senior" or "master" by others, Ye Qingyun felt incredibly embarrassed.

"Ye Qingyun."

"Your name, sir, is truly dashing and elegant, not conforming to common standards, with extraordinary style."

The moon is praised unceasingly.

Ye Qingyun thought to himself.

This person becoming an emperor's guard, wouldn't it be based on flattery

Just a name, and you can make it sound beautiful.

"Well, what name should I call you"

Ye Qingyun also asked.

"My name is Gumu, given to me by His Majesty the Emperor."

Gumu bowed his hands.

"Your name is pretty cool."

Ye Qingyun smiled.

Cool

The lone moon wore a face of bewilderment.

What's this highbrow jargon

"You just said that there's a dragon in my pond Are you serious"

Gu Yue was just about to say the truth.

Yet again, the dragon's head emerged from the pond.

And with a warning glare, he stared at the lone moon.

Gū yuè dào zuǐ de huà dōu yān guò le.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"No, no, I was mistaken."

The lonely moon waved its hand.

Ye Qingyun let out a breath of relief.

"I told you so, this pond is so small, let alone raising a dragon, even raising some fish would be a hassle."

I'm going back to get revenge, farewell!

"How about we have dinner together"

"No, no. My duty calls, and I must not delay."

“Okay, then I won't send it.”

"Hold on a moment, friend."

The solitary moon departed hastily.

He must hurry back to the palace and tell Dongfang Su about this.

When the lone moon returned to the palace, Dongfang Su had already sensed his arrival and immediately summoned him before him.

"How"

Dongfang eagerly asked.

The lone moon knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, on Mount Southwest Floating Clouds, a real dragon has appeared!"

What

Dongfang Su suddenly stood up, his face full of astonishment.

Immediately, Dongfang Su showed a look of ecstasy.

A dragon appeared in its own country.

What does this mean

Isn't it that Dong Fang Su can get this dragon

What kind of dragon is that A water dragon

Dongfang Su was somewhat nervously answering questions.

"It was no dragon, my subordinate saw it with his own eyes, it was a real dragon!"

Gumu hastily said.

Oh my!

Dong Fang sucked in a breath of cold air.

Because he inhaled too much, he ended up choking and coughed twice.

"Are you sure you didn't misread it"

"Confirmed! And my subordinates have seen it more than once, it's definitely a real dragon!"

The East was so excited, his hands and feet trembled.

"My Tianshan Dynasty, to actually have a true dragon born, could this be the ancestors' blessings"

"No, I must go there myself!"

To the East, Xu is eager to go and see for himself.

"Your Majesty, there is still a hermit living on Mount Fuyun. It seems that the true dragon is raised by this hermit."

The solitary moon's words were astonishing.

What did you say

Dongfang Su directly froze.

"This is impossible!"

Who can raise a true dragon

Gu Yue's face was filled with bitterness: "Your Majesty, this is what your subordinate saw with his own eyes. That expert was unfathomable, and even the true dragon showed him immense respect. If it weren't for my quick wit, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived to see Your Majesty again."The abundance of treasures in the courtyard frightened Gu Yue, causing her face to completely change.As a master of the imperial palace, Gu Yue had seen quite a bit.But even now, this scene still make...
