The sky gradually darkened. Su Qingchen, who was resting his head on Mo Zhu's shoulder, was breathing evenly and was still deep in sleep.

The little fairy boy tried several times to bring the prepared food over, but the high priest never woke up.

He thought about persuading Lord Mozhu to eat some first, but Lord Mozhu just knelt beside the Lord Priest and did not move.

Now that the Lord Martial Priest has come to visit, the little fairy boy has no choice but to wake him up.

"Master Priest, Master Priest, Master Wu Priest is here."

The little fairy boy called softly.

Su Qingchen slowly opened his eyes and straightened his body lazily.

"Take the Lord Martial Priest to the main hall."

"Yes."

Inside the main hall.

"Did you have a good rest, Your Excellency the Priest?" asked the Martial Priest politely.

"Very good, why did Master Wu Shenguan come at this time?"

"Everyone in the temple is drunk, so I took this opportunity to ask the High Priest some advice."

"Please say?"

"Oh, because many immortal soldiers are unable to attend this welcoming banquet due to injuries, your request for leave has been conveyed to the Divine Lord. The Divine Lord is fully aware of it and does not blame you."

The Martial God Officer first talked about the leave requested by Su Qingchen.

"The Lord Priest and the Mozhu Immortal Servant have made great contributions to the destruction of the Water Dragon Demon this time. However, due to the Immortal Order, I cannot record this in the military report I will submit to the Lord tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Qingchen was still a little surprised that Lord Wu Shenguan, who was always very strict in his work, would actually conceal such a big thing in the military newspaper.

"Your Excellency, the situation on the seabed was chaotic at the time, and not many immortal soldiers saw the beast form of the Mozhu Immortal Servant. Just in case, I will also make arrangements within the army."

This is a very solemn promise made by the Martial Priest.

"Good work."

"Master Priest, may I ask Mozhu Immortal Servant a question?"

"please."

"Our army had already retreated at that time. Does Mozhu Immortal Servant know why the Water Dragon Demon suddenly committed suicide?"

Mo Zhu looked at Su Qingchen, waiting for Su Qingchen's permission.

Su Qingchen nodded, and then Mo Zhu spoke.

"There are also many water monsters sheltered behind the magic cave."

Wu Shenguan's heart suddenly sank. This question had puzzled Wu Shenguan for a long time. Now he had the time to ask, but he didn't expect this result.

The singing and dancing in the fairy palace before turned out to be a celebration of an illusory victory, but the martial priest also knew that given the situation at the time, it was the best solution not to pursue the water monster behind the magic cave.

"Did the Immortal Servant Mozhu make any promises to the Water Dragon Demon?"

This is a serious matter, and the Martial Priest needs to understand the current situation.

"No."

"Why is that...?"

"The demon world has its own order. Mo Zhu discovered those water demons but did not attack or make a sound. The water dragon demon knew that he should be given something in exchange. But... that silence should also be considered a promise." Su Qingchen said lightly.

Mo Zhu became even more uneasy after listening to this.

"So that's how it is. When did Lord Mozhu learn that there was still a water monster in the Demon Cave?"

"Monsters have an innate sense of one another, but I think the final confirmation came when he, as a Qiongqi beast, stood on top of the Demon Cave."

After Su Qingchen finished speaking, he looked at Mo Zhu for confirmation.

"Yes."

Mo Zhu answered briefly.

"Those water monsters are nothing to be afraid of."

Mo Zhu gave the Martial Priest a reassurance that was not so reassuring, because the Martial Priest was not sure whether "not to be feared" applied to the ancient ferocious beasts or was general.

"What does Immortal Servant Mozhu mean...?" Priest Wu asked again.

"At least five hundred years."

"I understand. I will carefully consider the contents of the military report when I return."

The martial priest had sobered up from the wine he drank at the banquet long ago, and now he felt sober but heavy.

After sending off the Martial God Officer, Su Qingchen returned to his indifferent look.

To Mo Zhu in the past, his master's emotions were transparent, but now they seemed to be covered by a veil. He didn't quite understand why his master had become so unpredictable just for a trip to the South China Sea, which made him very anxious.

"Accompany me to cross the Ling River." Su Qingchen made a request.

"Yes." Mo Zhu agreed quickly.
