I want to improve so much
Medicine Red Dust, having received Zhong Qing's command, did not delay and immediately left the Domain Lords Mansion.
"Sir!"
At the entrance, the Flood Dragon Great Saint and the Overturning Sea Great Saint bowed deeply to her.
Medicine Red Dust had been following Zhong Qing for some time now, so everyone was naturally familiar with her identity.
They knew that her strength was extraordinary, and their attitude towards her was extremely respectful.
Medicine Red Dust clasped her hands behind her back, nodded to the two, and then looked towards the void.
"For what reason have the two of you come? Please reveal yourselves!"
As Medicine Red Dust appeared, the Ancient Emperor, hidden in the void, was instantly overjoyed.
His several days of waiting here had not been in vain; he knew that heaven helps those who help themselves, and he would eventually wait for her.
In fact, it was much earlier than he had anticipated.
However, soon, the Ancient Emperor was somewhat puzzled; he was clearly alone, so why did she say 'the two of you'?
Puzzlement aside, this was a rare opportunity to connect with the Red Dust Empress, so he immediately revealed himself from his hidden space.
However, before he could even greet the Red Dust Empress,
Ripples appeared in the space not far away, and the next moment, the Battle Emperor's figure appeared before the Domain Lords Mansion.
The two appeared almost simultaneously!
As their eyes met,
The air suddenly fell silent.
The originally smiling Ancient Emperor of the demon race instantly froze his smile on his face.
His pupils constricted slightly as he exclaimed, "How are you here?"
A flicker of guilt and panic crossed the Battle Emperor’s face, but the next moment, he composed himself.
"I had a premonition that my opportunity was approaching, so naturally, I came to seek it."
"What about you? Didn't you return to your Ancient Domain?"
"Why are you still lingering in the Profound Domain?"
Ancient Emperor: "..."
He suddenly felt like he had been played.
He felt like he had a mouth, but didn't know how to explain himself.
He couldn't possibly say that he had abandoned him and come here to seek refuge, could he?
But the next moment, he seemed to understand something.
This old fellow appearing here was, in all likelihood, harboring the same intentions as him.
Now, the other party had taken the initiative to criticize him.
Indeed!
This person's heart is truly unreliable!
He was wholeheartedly devoted to his brother, but his brother was playing mind games with him.
Thinking of this, he said coldly, "Someone previously said that his back was very stiff and he couldn't bend it anymore. Now, he wouldn't be trying to come here to bend his back and seek an opportunity, would he!"
A look of embarrassment flashed across the Battle Emperor's face.
At this moment, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, exposed openly in front of everyone, feeling uncomfortable as his secrets were laid bare.
But at this moment, he also realized something.
This fellow had previously spoken in front of him with such righteous indignation.
Saying that he had reached this point today entirely because of his unwavering Dao heart.
He had acted with such aloof arrogance.
He had projected an air of unyielding integrity, as if he could not be swayed by poverty or subdued by force.
But now...
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly.
"How I conduct myself is not for Brother Gu to worry about."
"However, Brother Gu's journey this time seems to contradict your original intention, doesn't it?"
"Where is your pride?"
"Where is your integrity?"
"Where is your original intention?"
Three consecutive questions, each a critical hit, inflicted massive damage on the Ancient Emperor of the demon race.
It also made his face alternate between green and red, looking incredibly unsightly.
This scene caused Medicine Red Dust to frown, and also left the Flood Dragon Great Saint and the Overturning Sea Great Saint utterly bewildered.
The sudden appearance of the two had greatly startled them.
They were confident that the Domain Lord’s Mansion’s gate, under their watch, was absolutely foolproof.
However, these two had appeared silently right under their noses, clearly having been hidden there for quite some time.
Connecting this to Medicine Red Dust’s identity,
The aura emanating from these two was similar to that of the Red Dust Empress.
So, these two were actually two Emperors!
What surprised them even more was that these two Emperors were now arguing in front of them, seemingly on the verge of fighting at any moment.
If not for their important duty of guarding the gate, they would truly have wanted to grab a stool, eat some melon seeds, and watch the show.
Just then!
Medicine Red Dust spoke.
"I have no intention of interfering in whatever grievances you two have, but this is not a place for trouble. If there's nothing else, please leave quickly."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Ancient Emperor and the Battle Emperor grew anxious.
Their most important objective on this trip was to connect with Zhong Qing through Medicine Red Dust.
Now that they had finally waited for the main person, how could they just leave?
At this moment, the two also stopped arguing.
The most urgent matter was to establish a good relationship with Medicine Red Dust.
Thinking of this, the Ancient Emperor of the demon race shamelessly stepped forward and smiled, "It’s been many days, Daoist Friend Hongchen, your demeanor is even more magnificent than before."
"To be honest, my journey here was specifically to seek out Daoist Friend Hongchen!"
Upon hearing this, Medicine Red Dust remained expressionless and said indifferently, "I cannot accept such praise from the Ancient Emperor. As for you and me, there seems to be nothing to talk about."
After Medicine Red Dust and the Ancient Emperor of the demon race met in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, although he didn’t say anything to her face, his attitude clearly cooled after learning that she followed her master, Zhong Qing, obviously wanting to keep his distance from her.
Given this cause and effect, how could Medicine Red Dust possibly give him a good impression?
As soon as these words were spoken, how could the Ancient Emperor of the demon race not know that the other party was displeased with him?
This made him feel a surge of regret.
If only he had known, why did he act that way in the first place?
If not for his previous actions, would the Red Dust Empress be giving him such a cold shoulder now?
Fortunately, he hadn't gone too far back then, so it wasn't too late to mend his ways!
Thinking of this, the Ancient Emperor of the demon race shamelessly apologized, "What happened before was my fault. Please, Daoist Friend, be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
"If Daoist Friend is truly angry, I am willing to bear the blame, accept any punishment, and will not complain in the slightest, only hoping that Daoist Friend can let go of that anger!"
His posture was very low, even humble.
The Red Dust Empress didn't truly have any strong opinions about the Ancient Emperor; it was just that her previous good intentions, approaching to advise him not to oppose her master and avoid bringing trouble upon himself, had been met with deliberate alienation. Even a Bodhisattva in this world would feel a bit uncomfortable with such a situation.
However, seeing his current demeanor, she no longer dwelled on this minor matter.
She raised her gaze: "You shouldn't have come specifically to apologize to me, right?"
"If you have something to say, just say it directly!"
The Ancient Emperor of the demon race saw that the Empress's tone had softened, knowing that the previous matter was now behind them.
He hesitated for a moment, then spoke with hopeful anticipation, "To be honest, I came here wanting to pledge allegiance to Lord Zhong Qing. I wonder if the Empress could introduce me?"
At this moment, the Battle Emperor, who was standing by, spoke up opportunely, "Please, Empress, grant me this favor, so that I may constantly receive Lord Zhong Qing's guidance."
"I truly, truly want to improve!"
