Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 85 Zi Yan's acting skills are off the charts

Having achieved his goal of visiting Long Island, Jiang Xing didn't want to linger any longer, so he bid farewell to Qingshan and Zhuli.

He cupped his hands slightly, his voice tinged with apology and respect: "My daughter is still waiting for me at home, so it's really inconvenient for me to stay any longer. I am deeply grateful for the hospitality shown by the Grand Elder and Elder Zhuli these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Elder Qingshan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Young friend Jiang Xing, you flatter us. Since you have other matters to attend to, we will not linger any longer."

Elder Zhuli nodded, his voice gentle: "Young friend, if you ever need anything in the future, you are welcome to come to Dragon Island to find us. Even if you don't need anything, you are welcome to come often."

Jiang Xing felt a surge of warmth in his heart and bowed again in thanks.

Just as Zhu Li was about to leave with Jiang Xing, a voice came from behind.

"Jiang Xing, I'll go with you too."

The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zi Yan.

When Qingshan and Zhuli heard that their Dragon Emperor also wanted to go with Jiang Xing, they tried to persuade him to stay.

But Zi Yan seemed to have known all along that the two of them would stop her, and she glared at them fiercely.

Zi Yan hadn't been out for a long time, and now that he knew Jiang Yue could already talk, he wanted to go out even more.

She was determined to go out today, and no one could stop her.

Seeing their Dragon Emperor's "I'll fight anyone who tries to stop me" attitude, Qingshan and the other person hesitated for a moment, not daring to say anything to stop him.

Zhu Li looked at the Grand Elder, as if to say: I already stopped the Dragon Emperor once before, now it's your turn.

Zhu Li had stopped Zi Yan once before, and then the day after Zi Yan returned, Zhu Li was targeted by Zi Yan.

If he dares to do that again, Zhu Li doesn't dare to imagine what the Dragon Emperor will do to him when he returns.

Aoyama: I've just emerged from seclusion and I'm already going to defy the Dragon Emperor? Is that really a good idea?

Seeing that Zhu Li really didn't intend to go, Qingshan had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out.

Qingshan wanted to tell Ziyan in a tactful way that there were many things on Dragon Island that required her personal attention.

But before Qingshan could speak, Ziyan seemed to guess what Qingshan wanted to say.

Zi Yan's expression was resolute, her tone carrying an undeniable determination: "Today I am leaving Dragon Island, and none of you will stop me. If either of you tries to stop me, forget about all those affairs, I will resign as Dragon Emperor!"

Then Zi Yan looked at Qing Shan and said coldly, "Elder, if I really don't want to be the Dragon Emperor anymore, then you can take this position. I think you are quite suitable."

Upon hearing this, Qingshan and Zhuli's expressions changed drastically, and they knelt down with a thud.

Qingshan was terrified; Ziyan's words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He kowtowed repeatedly, his voice trembling, "This old dragon wouldn't dare, this old dragon wouldn't dare, please forgive me, Dragon Emperor!"

His use of "dare not" meant both that he dared not stop Zi Yan from leaving and that he would never dare to covet the Dragon Emperor's throne.

As the Grand Elder of Donglong Island, he has always been loyal and devoted to assisting the Dragon Emperor.

Although Dragon Island is now unified, he is still the Grand Elder, but even if he had a thousand or ten thousand times the courage, he would not dare to have the slightest thought of betrayal.

The atmosphere around them immediately became tense, and everyone held their breath, not daring to make the slightest move.

Seeing Qingshan and Zhuli kneeling, Ziyan also got a little angry, so she just looked at them coldly.

Seeing that something was wrong, Jiang Xing quickly stepped forward.

Jiang Xing stood between Zi Yan, Qing Shan, and Zhu Li, trying to ease the tension.

"Elders, Ziyan has simply been on Dragon Island for too long and wants to go out for a stroll. And you need not worry, I assure you that I will protect Ziyan well and will safely send her back to Dragon Island."

After Zi Yan said those words, Qing Shan and Zhu Li no longer dared to stop their Dragon Emperor.

Furthermore, they felt some regret, regretting that they shouldn't have stopped the Dragon Emperor.

But now the Dragon Emperor has lost his temper and won't listen to them at all.

At this moment, Jiang Xing stepped forward, and they immediately understood his meaning, casting grateful glances at him.

Qingshan, quick-witted, said, "Dragon Emperor, I was not trying to stop you. I was just worried that you might be in danger, so I wanted to send a guard to protect you."

"Hmph." Zi Yan didn't even look at them, and snorted coldly, but her expression softened a little.

Seeing this, Qingshan added, "However, now that you have a young friend by my side, it seems that I, Old Dragon, have been overthinking things."

"Jiang Xing, let's go." Not wanting to listen to Qingshan and Zhuli talk, Ziyan said to Jiang Xing.

Qingshan: "Dragon Emperor, young friend Jiang Xing, I'll see you off."

……

On the way to send Jiang Xing and Zi Yan away from Gulong Island, Qingshan saw that Zi Yan still had a cold expression, so he quickly sent a telepathic message to Jiang Xing.

"Young friend Jiang Xing, we'd like to ask you to put in a good word for us with the Dragon Emperor."

Qingshan wanted to ease tensions, but he knew that no matter what he said now, the Dragon Emperor wouldn't listen.

With no other option, the only solution he could think of was to ask Jiang Xing, who was close to Zi Yan, for help.

Jiang Xing felt that this matter was also somewhat related to him, so he told Qingshan that he would leave it to him.

Seeing that Jiang Xing agreed so readily, Qingshan looked at Jiang Xing gratefully.

After leaving Dragon Island, Qingshan was worried that the Dragon Emperor might be in danger and wanted to send them directly to the Jiang family, but Ziyan told him to leave them there and go back.

Qingshan: "Then I'll trouble you, young friend Jiang Xing, to take care of the Dragon Emperor."

Therefore, Qingshan had no choice but to obey orders and return.

Before leaving, he gave Jiang Xing a wink, reminding him not to forget.

Jiang Xing also reassured him.

After confirming that Qingshan was really gone, Ziyan's tense little face immediately broke into a smile.

The extent of this change in demeanor is astonishing.

Zi Yan proudly boasted to Jiang Xing, "Jiang Xing, how was my performance just now?"

Jiang Xing looked completely bewildered: "You were just acting?"

"Yeah, if we hadn't done this, they definitely wouldn't have let me out. Now it's great, if I want to come out in the future, they definitely won't dare to stop me anymore." Zi Yan seemed very happy at the thought that they would never dare to stop her again.

Jiang Xing watched Zi Yan talking smugly, and then thought about how Qing Shan had just asked him to say a few good words for him in front of Zi Yan. For a moment, he felt a little sorry for Qing Shan.

It's amazing how women are truly born actresses.

He couldn't help but go up and pat Zi Yan's head, saying, "They stopped you because they were afraid you wouldn't want to go back after you came out. It's all for the better development of the Ancient Dragon of the Void. Don't scare them anymore."

After being reprimanded by Jiang Xing, Zi Yan realized that she had indeed gone a bit too far, and stuck out her tongue: "Oh, I know."

Leaving Dragon Island, Zi Yan's mood brightened, like a bird released from its cage, hopping and skipping about.
