Chapter 1083 The Dragon King of Dragon Palace

"Okay." Shang Luo shook his head. "Then I'll just assume I know about this. Since you brought me here, you don't worry about me asking these questions, right?"

"That's right. Lan Fang's behavior did not cross the line. I am very clear about that."

"Then the next question is linked to our current actions: I know that Ryukyu's Dragon Palace belief has been connected to the East China Sea. So, is Ryukyu's Ontake belief related to Japan's Shinto belief?"

Shangluo also had to confirm this matter. He wanted to infer from it what role Dragon Palace played in this matter.

"I think these are independent events that evolved independently and there is no direct relationship. It is normal for people living in an island nation like this to have similar beliefs. But some things cannot be judged by appearances alone - for example, in Ryukyu, Japan, and even in Hawaii, people like to use ropes to circle stones and trees in nature that are inhabited by gods. This does not mean that there is a relationship between them, it is just a natural religious behavior."

Phaethon nodded. "In theory, it is true. Using a rope, an artificial object, to make a circle means to represent a 'meaningful object'. It is to distinguish this object from nature."

"That makes sense." Shangluo spread his hands and said, "This shows that Ryukyu's current behavior is completely influenced by the Dragon Palace."

"That's right." Zheng Shijie nodded vigorously. "Lan Fang only guides Ryukyu. She doesn't mean to treat Ryukyu as a puppet. Absolutely not. Based on this, many of Ryukyu's actions are probably influenced by the Dragon Palace, not Lan Fang."

"Then here comes the question. Guoxing, has your Lan Fang been influenced by the Dragon Palace during this process?"

"???" This question made Zheng Shijie stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss may have grown tired of looking at you. So, could it be that Lan Fang has been infiltrated by the Dragon Palace since a long time ago?"

“Will this happen???”

"You can see that many of Ryukyu's current behaviors are the result of being influenced by the Dragon Palace. And Ryukyu knows nothing about this - is it just Ryukyu that knows nothing? Could it be that Lan Fang is actually a puppet of the Dragon Palace?"

"Ah, this. Ah, this." Zheng Shijie had actually understood it just now. But if Shangluo hadn't told him about it, his self-protection mechanism wouldn't have allowed him to think about it. But now, he had no choice but to think about it.

"No way! Am I also a puppet? Am I also being manipulated by an invisible hand? Is there an invisible thread behind me that connects me to the sky?"

"I think you can see it when you go in." Shangluo pointed inside.

The first floor of the Yiluhua Building is hidden in the shadows, and the lights are not bright. The cool air blowing from the first floor can also be felt here.

The office building of Iruka Department Store, where I had been countless times since I was a child, and the place where I was fed by the older sisters in the lounge when I was a child, all became scary now.

"Could it be that the big sisters who fed me candy when I was a child were actually spies from the Dragon Palace? Then the candy they fed me, those nostalgic times, were just mirages? Were all these memories wasted?"

[These memories of the young master are just a mistake. There is no need to sympathize with them. ]

"Well," Shangluo said comfortingly, "I think the candy is just candy. But what your father came here to talk about is very important. By the way, there is one very important thing: What does the chairman of Yiluhua Department Store look like?"

"In the past, it was an old man. There was a change of leadership about 10 years ago, but I heard that it was not the old chairman's son. The old chairman's son died a long time ago. It is still very sad to talk about it now. I heard that he was stabbed to death by some gangster. As for the current new chairman, I have met him several times."

"Wait, did this new chairman appear at the same time as your father disappeared?"

"That's different." Zheng Shijie shook his head and said, "Although these two things are completely unrelated, if the time is close, it's hard for me not to consider it. But in fact, when the new chairman took office, my father hadn't disappeared yet." "Have these two people appeared at the same time?"

"Huh?" This question stumped Zheng Shijie. "Don't mention that these two people really never appeared at the same time! Wait, do you mean that my father ran away to the Dragon Palace to become the Dragon King?"

"I didn't say that. But you see, isn't it possible to argue this way?"

"Totally. Ah! I didn't expect that my old father who eats and drinks every day could be so powerful?! Could it be that he faked his death that time and actually used the 'Dragon Escape' to pretend to be eaten by a dragon, but in fact he himself was the dragon? It turns out that the invisible big hand is my father?"

"I am not your father." A voice suddenly appeared behind him - it was Ao Zang's voice.

“???” Shangluo and Zheng Shijie turned around suddenly and saw him standing there, having just gotten out of his car.

"When did you start standing here?" Zheng Shijie was terrified.

"A dragon can be big or small, it can rise or hide," Ao Zang replied, "Now that it has come to this, it doesn't matter where I start listening. What matters is who I am, isn't it?"

Zheng Shijie nodded, but his eyes immediately became lonely.

"You...you are not my father."

"How did you get it?"

"Eyes. The way you look at me is different from the way my father looks at me. You are not him. Even though you look exactly like him."

"So they look the same???" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "If I knew what your father looked like, I would have figured out what was going on long ago!"

"Yes. You have never seen my father, so you don't know. This Ao Zang, the Dragon King, looks exactly like my father. But I know at a glance that he is not my father. So who is he, Excellency?"

"I am the Dragon King, you know that's enough."

"What about my father?"

"He's fine. When things here are over, he will naturally go home. Shang Tianjun, you may also want to ask why others can't see it, right? As the Dragon King, it is very simple for me to hide my face. Appearance is determined by the heart. Everyone sees me with a different mentality, so my appearance is naturally different. But in front of you, I don't need to hide."

Zheng Shijie turned around suddenly: "So Shangluo, you are the Heavenly Lord, right? Can you help me ask..."

Ao Zang interrupted him: "If Shang Tianjun asked on behalf of the Heavenly Court, I would certainly answer you. The Dragon Palace should not hide anything from the Heavenly Court. But are you sure that the answer you asked is really what you want to know?"

"."

"It seems that you also know that this is not a question to ask. Then, Guoxing Shijie, let us start a meeting among the princes. The crusade against Xu Fu is a big deal, and the Dragon Palace is ready. Is your Lan Fang ready?"
