The sun shines through half of the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows. Dan Feng stands by the lake, his eyes looking through the rippling waves at the Xianlong Dayu Palace in the distance.

Behind the main hall is the Altar for Praying to the Dragon, where people worship the Dragon King.

"What's wrong, Danfeng? You've been worried about something lately." Xuepu walked to Danfeng's side with one hand behind his back.

Logically, Dan Feng should feel honored and happy as he is about to become the Little Dragon Lord.

But in recent days, the usually outgoing and energetic child has often been distracted. During the class, one of them stared at the lake in a daze.

"Master Xue Pulong, you said fish, did they come to this world because they wanted to become fish?" Dan Feng asked softly.

Across the lake surface, fish swim in it, gently swaying their tail fins, seemingly carefree.

“A fish may not even know it’s a fish until it dies.”

“Because ‘fish’ is a concept created based on our cognition, it refers to this species.”

Xue Pu said calmly, "In the vast sea of ​​stars, no one knows where the source of life lies. Even the Star Gods follow the rules."

"Perhaps... all life is abandoned into the world." Xue Pu's eyes became distant. "With limited abilities, we cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. We are caught between life and death."

"We are insignificant creatures who are baffled by what they are experiencing, filled with worries and fears deep within their hearts."

Dan Feng pursed her lips, not quite understanding.

"Is the Dragon Lord also insignificant?"

Xue Pu smiled slightly and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Do you think you are insignificant?"

"I... am not insignificant, it's just..." Dan Feng expressed his confidence in himself without hesitation, but there was a hint of confusion at the end of his words.

"Master Xuepu, I heard that in the past, the Dragon Master would directly select eggs to be trained as the next Dragon Lord."

"They're all called 'Yin Yue', they all look the same, are they all... the same person?"

"I don't know."

Dan Feng rested his little hands on the railing. He was only ten years old but he was already the most outstanding among the younger generation of Chi Ming. Others said behind his back that he had the help of a real dragon, meaning he had the dragon's appearance and was the true heir.

But being Yin Yue seemed like too much to bear, and he didn't like living by the rules.

"There's no way to know, except for Long Zun himself."

"Dan Feng, the selection is just a formality. You have already been chosen as the Dragon Lord candidate, and the outcome will not change."

"Don't worry, I believe you will do your best with your talents."

"Later, Master Danyu Long will select a more professional teacher for you to assist you in becoming a true Dragon Lord."

Xue Pu thought that Dan Feng was nervous about the responsibilities he was about to take on, after all, he was still a child, so it was normal.

There is nothing to worry about. If it really doesn't work, the dragon masters have their own ways.

Not all dragon masters hope that Long Zun will be a talented leader.

“Hmm…” Dan Feng nodded, but he still felt heavy in his heart. This seemed to be the fate he had to accept.

From the time he came to prominence.

"Okay, don't think too much. That's all for today's class. Go back and have a good rest."

Xue Pu wanted to pat Xiao Danfeng on the head, but his hand was halfway extended and hung in the air and couldn't fall, so he finally withdrew it.

She is just a dragon master who carries out teaching responsibilities, not a teacher in the strict sense, that's all.

"Respect" is above "teacher", which is the unshakable concept of her school.

Xue Pu turned and left. Dan Feng continued to look at the fish in the lake. Suddenly, he smiled inexplicably, thinking that no matter what species it was, Nian Yan would accept any of them.

A little fish full of worries...what's the point of its worries if it gets eaten?

Nian Yan said he would take him to relax today.

But the territory of the Chiming clan is so small, and there are only a few places to go, so there is no place to relax.

"There are not enough fish in the pond. Let's catch a few more and take them back." Dan Feng stopped thinking and directly performed the Cloud Chanting Technique without caring whether there was anyone around.

The splashes of water rolled a bunch of fish ashore, each with dead eyes. Dan Feng took out a big bag to pack them up, then left with the bag on his back.

Xue Pu and another older dragon master, who were peeking from the corner, had their eyes twitching.

"This is the nth time I've used the Cloud Chanting Technique in such a vulgar way."

"Discussing philosophy is fake, but catching fish is real, right? If you keep going on like this, how can I still be the King of the Sea? My fish--" The old man smiled sinisterly and roared directly, but Xue Pu covered his mouth halfway.

"That's the future Dragon Lord. What's wrong with him eating a few of your fish? The Cloud Chant Technique is meant to be put into practice. How wonderful!"

Danfeng returned home and found that Yannian was not by the pond, but he was not surprised, after all, there were no fish in it.

He opened his backpack and poured the fish trapped in bubbles into the pond. Dan Feng clapped his hands and released the Cloud Chanting Technique.

"Nian Yan, there's a fish." Dan Feng shouted, but no one responded, looking puzzled.

In the past, wherever there was fish, there was cat, but what happened today?

Dan Feng walked around the house, but couldn't find the cat on the climbing frame or in the cat's nest. He looked at the fishing rod in the corner with complicated eyes.

Did you go out to find food?

Or--

Just as a thought was about to pop up in Danfeng's mind, the window was opened with a snap and Yannian jumped in, his figure completely covered by a black robe.

"Danye, you're here just in time. Put it on."

"I've already figured out Chiming's defenses. Getting out will be easy."

Yannian threw a small black robe to Danfeng, and Danfeng was stunned.

When he was asked to leave the Chiming tribe's territory, he never thought that this would mean kidnapping the "future little dragon master".

"Nian Yan, this is not... okay." Dan Feng's forehead was sweating.

"This is not an inquiry. You are now kidnapped by me."

"Take it off!" Yannian twirled the dagger with his fingertips, his eyes slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc with an unknown meaning.

"Don't you want to take it off and wait for me to help you?"

"Or...you don't dare?"

Yannian's tone was subtle. Danfeng blushed, puffed up his lips, and snorted softly, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"It's just that, apart from my peers, the elders' Cloud Chanting Technique is more difficult to deal with."

Dan Feng looked at Yannian with hesitation. Before he could say the next word, Yannian rubbed his head hard.

The warmth from the boy's fingertips flowed along his hair like warm water, making Dan Feng feel inexplicably thirsty.

"Don't worry, I'm here to show you the assassin's skills."

"When you're feeling down, you should find a place to relax. As the old saying goes, 'A good balance between tension and relaxation brings joy, and alternating between fast and slow brings joy.'"

"I'll wait for you outside." Yannian closed the door.

In the quiet room, Dan Feng stared at the little black robe in a daze. The wind blew across the scroll on the table. The full text taught you how to be a successful Vajra Master.

But no one tells you - should you be yourself first?

Danfeng had never been out before, but after what Yannian did, he wanted to go out and take a look.

And... Dan Ding Si is also outside Chi Ming's house. Maybe there is a magic method there to cure Nian Yan's ears and tail. Dan Feng made up his mind, changed his clothes quickly, and pushed open the door.

The little black robe covered his face, and he and Yannian stood together, a bit like an older brother and a younger brother.

"It fits perfectly."

"Come with me."

Yannian waved his hand, walked into the shadow of the corner, and disappeared without a trace. Danfeng's eyes widened. The Cloud Chanting Technique can also use the state of water in various situations to conceal one's figure, but it can't make it look like a real disappearance.

"Amazing... What do you call this?"

"It doesn't have a name. It's just the basic skills of an assassin. But..." Yannian paused and whispered, "I often use it when someone wants to go out."

"I later used it in my dreams, and now... I'm becoming more and more proficient at it."

"Come." Yannian changed the subject and reached out to Danfeng.

Dan Feng wondered for a moment who that person was and held Yannian's hand.

The two men were lurking in the dark. Yannian was agile and could always evade detection in unexpected ways. Danfeng was not far behind and could imitate Yannian's movements at a glance, which surprised Yannian a little.

On the way, under a pavilion not far away, a young man could be seen playing chess with a cold expression. He had a handsome face, almost transparent dragon horns on his head, and his eyes were filled with a distant look.

Opposite him was a young man with waist-length black hair, gently waving a palm-leaf fan in one hand and placing chess pieces with the other. His dark eyes looked at the chessboard with a faint smile.

Dan Feng took a quick look and saw that it was Long Zun and Dan Yu Longshi. He didn't understand the relationship between the two and had no interest in it.

Yannian watched silently, subconsciously thinking that it was Danfeng, and automatically narrowed the time point to Yinyue's era.

"Nian Yan, judging from your expression, do you know him?" Dan Feng observed Yannian's expression and asked in a low voice.

"Among the Vajra Masters of Luofu, there is only one who is qualified to wear the pair of dragon horns. This is not difficult to guess since Xianzhou is so famous in the starry sea.

"There's a bit of an old friend in there."

Yannian's tone was a little emotional, and even he himself didn't know for a moment whether he thought of Danfeng or Danheng first when he saw that face.

It's obvious that the two are not the same at all.

The reincarnation of the vidyadhara is rebirth, and as one of the Ten Kings, he also follows this concept.

"Old friend?" Dan Feng was stunned, then he thought that the starry sky is so vast, there must be similar existences. Maybe there really is someone similar to Yinyue on some planet.

And his future face.

"Hmm?" Dragon Lord in the courtyard seemed to have noticed something and looked over here. Yannian quickly pulled Danfeng away.

"What's wrong? Lord Longzun."

Dan Yu chuckled, twirling his fingertips lightly, as if thinking.

Then he raised his wrist slightly, and the white piece fell on the plate like jade, making a crisp "click" sound.

"Nothing. We were just talking about your disciple. He said he was returning from a long journey." Long Zun withdrew his gaze and made a move to block the white chess attack.

"Yes, he will become the best dragon master."

"Maybe I can give Little Dragon Lord some guidance."

Dan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought of his disciples, feeling a little happier.

"I hope you really think so. Don't forget... Dan Feng was your teacher before she became an egg."

Long Zun raised his eyes and looked at Dan Yu, speaking word by word with a hint of dejection in his eyes. His life span was coming to an end and he was about to transform into an egg, so he had to find someone to inherit the position of Long Zun as soon as possible.

He was very optimistic about Dan Feng and had been keeping an eye on him ever since Master Long started picking the eggs.

"My teacher is dead, Lord Longzun."

"A vidyadhara never equates past lives with present lives, no matter how deep the obsession."

"If we were separated by a few more years, we would never be able to meet. The former was formed into an egg, and the latter was born. How ridiculous." Dan Yu raised the corners of his mouth, his expression gloomy, and he clenched a chess piece.

"And if you die completely, there will be no continuation of life."

"The Vidyadhara never resolved this issue."

"You didn't succeed either."

"Of course this is to be expected. After all, you are focused on building a good relationship with the Immortal Boat, just to continue to seek a place to survive."

The gloom in Dan Yu's eyes was instantly replaced by a smile, and his words vaguely revealed a hint of sarcasm.

"Danyu, don't go too far."

Dragon Lord's words were filled with warnings. Dan Yu immediately backed off and clasped his fists in apology. "Alas—I am too resentful. From your perspective, cooperating with Xianzhou is a good choice."

"I dare not speculate."

"Hmph." Long Zun raised his eyebrows, knowing that the other party was perfunctory, and he didn't know what the other party was thinking in his heart.

Since that battle when he supported the Immortal Boat, Dan Yu seemed like a different person.

He was originally a gentle and elegant young man, but now he is like a bottomless pool, making it impossible to guess what he is like.
