849: Chapter 284: The Seventh Brother Will Kill You 849: Chapter 284: The Seventh Brother Will Kill You Sun Wukong squinted, and the Eastern King actually guessed it right, the Wood God came to see the Ancestral Dragon.
When he saw Sun Wukong, the Wood God smiled faintly and greeted him, surprisingly friendly, without the slightest hint of hostility.
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, mainly because he was too lazy to deal with him.
Staring at the Ancestral Dragon, Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, “Ancestral Dragon, this guy has a grudge with me, kick him out.”
The Wood God smiled slightly and said, “Great Saint, you have a narrow perspective.
I have never fought with you, so how can we have a grudge?
Besides, I am here as the Ancestral Dragon’s guest to handle something.”
Before he finished speaking, the Ancestral Dragon’s voice rang out.
“You are not my guest; only friends coming to my Dragon Palace are considered guests.
You are just a stranger, and I do not like you at all.”
The Ancestral Dragon spoke bluntly, leaving the Wood God somewhat surprised.
He touched his nose, smiling awkwardly, not expecting the Ancestral Dragon to be so rude.
He couldn’t respond to such words.
“You heard it, right?
You are not a guest, you can leave now.”
Sun Wukong said unceremoniously.
A flash of cold light appeared in the Wood God’s eyes, but his face remained impassive.
Sighing, he said, “Since I am so unwelcome, I will not stay and be an eyesore.
Goodbye.”
With that, the Wood God departed promptly.
Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on the Ancestral Dragon, and he said in a deep voice, “What did the Wood God come for?
To ask you to spare Long’ao?”
“You know?”
The Ancestral Dragon was slightly surprised, not expecting Sun Wukong to guess it.
Sun Wukong nodded and said, “It seems the Eastern King was right.
The Wood God has indeed taken Long’ao under his command.
Did you agree?”
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Ancestral Dragon looked a bit embarrassed.
Quickly regaining composure, he said in a deep voice, “I did agree, there was no other choice.
You should understand that the Wood God’s power is immense.
If I refuse because of Long’ao, it would not be worth it.”
Upon hearing the Ancestral Dragon’s words, Sun Wukong did not blame him.
Unlike himself, the Ancestral Dragon had to consider the entire clan.
Moreover, such an experienced individual would never completely offend a powerful figure.
The Ancestral Dragon had done well to reach this point.
“I was just asking, no other intentions.
I originally planned to ask you for help to wipe out the Sea Dragon Clan.
Now it seems that won’t be possible, so I’ll head back first.”
Seeing Sun Wukong leaving, the Ancestral Dragon felt somewhat awkward and couldn’t help but ask, “Great Saint, are you angry?”
Sun Wukong shook his head, smiling, “How could I be?
You have your considerations, I have my stance.
We did nothing wrong, why get angry?”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Ancestral Dragon breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought Sun Wukong was angry.
Sun Wukong had done him a favor, and considering that the Dragon Clan was subordinate to the Heavenly Court, the Ancestral Dragon valued Sun Wukong’s future and wanted to collaborate and become allies in the future.
Therefore, the Ancestral Dragon didn’t want to strain the relationship with Sun Wukong over this.
Sun Wukong understanding him was the best outcome.
“But no one can have everything.
If you want something, you have to give up something.
Some sacrifices are inevitable.”
With those words, Sun Wukong disappeared.
The Ancestral Dragon gazed thoughtfully in the direction Sun Wukong had left.
Sun Wukong was reminding him that to work with the Heavenly Court, he couldn’t be all things to all people.
If the Sea Dragon Clan was an enemy of the Heavenly Court, the Ancestral Dragon shouldn’t factor in the Wood God’s concerns and tolerate the Sea Dragon Clan’s existence.
If he maintained such an ambiguous stance, he could never gain the Heavenly Court’s friendship.
Thinking of this, the Ancestral Dragon couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Indeed, wanting to be all things to all people was impossible anywhere.
Should he take action against the Sea Dragon Clan?
The Ancestral Dragon’s eyes showed a hint of sharpness.
Just then, Sun Wukong’s voice came, “Don’t rush to take action against the Sea Dragon Clan, let them live for a while, wait for the right moment.”
The Ancestral Dragon smiled faintly.
Back at Huaguo Mountain, it was already night.
The stars and moon were in the sky, and the bright moonlight poured down, covering the sea with a layer of silver.
Sun Wukong arrived, draped in the moonlight, and Nu Ba awaited under the Silver Moon.
Seeing Sun Wukong return, she approached.
“How did it go?”
Nu Ba asked with concern.
If the Ancestral Dragon was willing to act, it would mean he was completely aligned with the Heavenly Court.
In the future, an alliance between Huaguo Mountain and the Ancestral Dragon would mean a more secure base for Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong shook his head, “The Ancestral Dragon is unwilling to act.”
Nu Ba’s expression turned serious, glancing back, worried that the Dragon Girl would hear.
If the Ancestral Dragon was unwilling to act, it indicated he wasn’t fully committed to cooperating with Huaguo Mountain.
Seeing Nu Ba’s expression, Sun Wukong guessed her thoughts.
He smiled faintly, “It’s not what you think.
The Ancestral Dragon is on our side but is concerned about the Dragon Clan’s interests.
He worries about confronting the Wood God, so he backed down.
I have already explained to him, and he should choose us.”
“Can such an uncertain ally be useful?”
Nu Ba asked worriedly.
No one understood these entangled interests better than the Human Race.
Allies like the Ancestral Dragon, wanting to be all things to all people, were almost no different from having none.
Relying on him was impossible.
Because you never knew when he might back down, making it easy to misjudge and affect your own plans.
