Chapter 187 Lifting a rock to smash the dragon claw
"Father, I overheard my uncle complaining to you that my cousin Aolan was seduced by a mortal and secretly escaped from the Dragon Palace to find that mortal to get married."
Ao Lie quickly explained, "I was so angry that I chased after him in order to share my uncle's worries and protect the dignity of our dragon race. I wanted to persuade my cousin to come back and teach that human a lesson so that he would not dare to covet my dragon race women again."
"Where's the liar?"
Wen Rui sneered and stared at Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, with his tiger eyes: "Dragon King Ao Guang, it seems that you are also involved in this conspiracy to assassinate me!"
"Why do you say that, Master Wen?" Ao Guang was also stunned, and waved his hand and said, "I know nothing about it, and I have no motive to harm Master Wen."
"Then why did you spread rumors and deceive Little White Dragon Ao Lie?"
Wen Rui was ready to find a pretext to accuse me: "I have only met your daughter twice alone, once when she came to the Dragon Palace to welcome me, and once when she took the golden hoop stick. Her attitude towards me was not love at first sight as you said, but rather she looked down on me and even stabbed me three times viciously!"
"This……"
Ao Guang's eyes rolled around and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
If Ao Lie had not intervened and successfully spread rumors in the circle of immortals, and Wen Rui had unknowingly accepted Ao Lan into the Jinling Sect, he would have no way to defend himself.
But in this situation, as soon as the rumor was told to several of his dragon brothers, the victim came to confront him, and Ao Guang himself became the one who couldn't explain himself.
"The feelings between men and women are hard to explain." Ao Guang said with a twinkling look in his eyes, "No one knows a daughter better than her father. My daughter has an aloof and arrogant personality. The more she likes someone in her heart, the more she pretends to hate him."
"Oh..." Wen Rui nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand."
Ao Guang bared his dragon teeth and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, this cool and elegant young man really understands it at once."
"You are using a knife to kill someone."
Wen Rui, however, was talking at cross purposes with him, saying something completely different: "You want to use the reckless and impulsive personality of the West Sea Dragon King's son to assassinate me through him. If you succeed, you and the instigator behind you will get what you want, but the West Sea Dragon Clan will have to bear the wrath of the Lishan Old Mother and my father Wen Zhong."
"No, don't talk nonsense!"
Ao Guanglong's face turned pale all of a sudden. He was keenly aware that the West Sea Dragon Dynasty was looking at him with an extremely unfriendly gaze.
"What a good plan! Even if it fails, we can blame it on the Dragon King of the West Sea, or even on Ao Lie, the brainless cannon fodder."
Wen Ruiyin smiled and said, "Just like now, you didn't lie, right? Your daughter is in love with me, right? Just with your mouth, you can clear yourself of all charges! Using love as a cover to lie to people, it's okay to lie to girls, but to lie to a group of Dragon Kings and this Sect Master, you are insulting everyone's intelligence!"
At this point, he looked at the other Dragon Kings and said, "You Dragon Kings are not fools. Don't you find it strange? Why did Ao Guang tell you about his daughter's night escape out of the blue? This kind of ugly thing should be kept secret. Why do you want to make it public?"
Ao Guang opened his dragon mouth wide and deeply experienced the feeling of being unable to defend himself.
The self-proving trap has always been useful since ancient times.
Wen Rui was too lazy to argue with Ao Guang about whether the dragon girl fell in love with him at first sight or not, and directly accused him of framing his nephew and killing someone with a borrowed knife.
"That's right!" Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, suddenly realized, "I didn't think it was strange when I heard it at the time, but now that Master Wen has pointed it out, the more I think about it, the more I think something is wrong!" "Brother, assassinating the son of Wen Tianzun is no small matter!" Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, said, "If Ao Lie really succeeds, how can our Four Seas Dragon Clan explain to Wen Tianzun? The Mother of Lishan has great magical powers. Our ancestor, the True Man Huanglong, is far from her opponent. If she comes to our door, it will be a disaster for the genie!"
"Brother, you are not really planning to put the blame on the West Sea Dragon Clan, are you?" Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea, frowned and said, "We are brothers. Do you want to leave only one Dragon King in the four seas? This is too sinister."
"This this……"
Ao Guang was completely dumbfounded. This was because he was too clever and planned too much, which resulted in the loss of his beloved's life. Plans are always worse than plans of God!
The marriage fraud scheme against Wen Rui failed just at the beginning, and it failed miserably. If he doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid that several dragon brothers will have a grudge in their hearts in the future.
The reason why this situation occurred is both a coincidence and not a coincidence.
Hearing about the auspiciousness means that you have great merits. Turning misfortune into good fortune is a basic virtue. You will be protected by the auspicious energy of heaven.
But after turning danger into safety, how to make good use of the situation and maximize benefits depends on Wen Rui's own ability.
If Tian Yu doesn't take it, he will suffer the consequences. Since the little white dragon has jumped out to remind him that he has fallen into Ao Guang's trap, he will go with the flow and defeat Ao Guang.
Each of the four dragons in the hall cast their eyes on Ao Guang. The dragon clan leader, the chief of the four dragon kings, could not help but feel his dragon skin tingling and as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Ao Guang, you must give me an explanation!" Wen Rui said sternly, "I helped your aquatic tribe prosper with good intentions, and lit up your Dragon Palace to show your power, but you plotted to kill me. How could that be possible?"
"Brother Wang, you have to give an explanation to the brothers!" Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, said loudly, "Although my son is a little stupid and rebellious, he deserves to die, but he represents the lineage of my West Sea Dragon Clan. You are harming him and killing people through him. Isn't that the same as pushing my entire West Sea Dragon Clan into a desperate situation?"
Ao Guang scratched his head, his face turning green and red. He was cornered and said with a bitter face, "Master Wen, this is really a misunderstanding. I just wanted my daughter to marry into the Wen family, so I spread the rumor that you and my daughter were having an affair. I never thought that Ao Lie would be so hot-tempered and impatient. After eavesdropping, he actually blocked my way and assassinated me."
Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, said in great sorrow: "Brother, it's already this late, and you still don't tell the truth, and you're pushing the blame onto that silly boy Ao Lie!"
Ao Guang also looked aggrieved, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am telling the truth, you have to believe me!"
This is called shooting oneself in the foot. Wen Rui felt happy watching from the side. If the conspiracy had not been exposed by him, he would have been the one who would have been unable to explain himself in the future.
"Humph!" Wen Rui snorted coldly, with an expression of unwillingness to believe, but helpless: "Forget it, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. For the sake of the overall situation, let's just take it as it is. What else can I do? Force your entire East Sea Dragon Clan to commit suicide?"
"Master Wen, my son was wrongly accused..." Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, immediately interrupted, "He believed Ao Guang's lies and impulsively made a big mistake."
Wen Rui's face changed, and he sneered, "So, you are all right, and I am the one who is wrong? I should just let it go and pretend that this incident never happened? Whether he believed the lies or someone else was behind it, Ao Lie blocked my way and wanted to kill me, that's not wrong, right?"
"Yes...but..."
"No buts!" Wen Rui's tone became cold. "Assassinating the son of the Heavenly Lord, this matter is not weighed, it is not even two taels; if it is weighed, it is not even a thousand pounds. Should I convict your son of a crime of impulsiveness, or should I convict you of suspicion of conspiracy with the Dragon Clan? Report it to the Heavenly Court for a thorough investigation. It's up to you to choose."
The West Sea Dragon King widened his eyes, turned around and exchanged glances with the other Dragon Kings, then lowered his head and said, "No matter how wrong it is, it's all the fault of my rebellious son. Please do whatever you want with him, Master Wen!"
"Father!" The little white dragon suddenly panicked, his eyes turned red, and he cried out in pain.
The Dragon King of the West Sea was furious and cursed, "Rebellious son, if I keep you, you will bring disaster to my West Sea Dragon Clan sooner or later. From now on, there is no father-son relationship between you and me, and we will sever our relationship!"
