The guardian general explained, "Your subordinate doesn't know the reason for their fight. All I know is that with a 'hua la' sound, they suddenly started fighting, and the bricks and tiles there were all blown away." He continued, "Normally, the sounds would travel, but it seems that before they started fighting, they had already set up a barrier. Outsiders couldn't get in or hear anything, only see."
"We were worried something might happen, so we came to inform you."
Qi Yu felt a headache coming on. She couldn't afford to chat any longer and had to rush to the scene to assess the situation.
When Qi Yu arrived.
Jin Yan and Yu Yuan had already reverted to their dragon forms. The scales on their necks were raised, like two roosters with bloodshot eyes, biting and swatting at each other, as if they wanted to kill each other.
"Sister, they're fighting so fiercely," Si Qing whispered into Qi Yu's ear. "Should we go and stop them?"
"Isn't that a stupid question? Of course, we have to stop them." Qi Yu said as she reached out and dispelled the barrier, forcibly controlling Jin Yan and Yu Yuan with her divine power.
Jin Yan's eyes burned with rage, and his entire body exuded anger. Even after being restrained, he didn't forget to bare his sharp fangs and roar at Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan was not to be outdone and tried to lash out with his tail.
But Si Qing caught it.
Seeing Yu Yuan restrained, Jin Yan seemed to have found an opportunity to complain. He turned to Qi Yu and grumbled:
"I don't want to work with this guy anymore. Hurry up and transfer me away from him. I never want to see him again in this lifetime. What kind of person is he! How can someone like him be of any help? This guy is simply a beast!"
"Damn it, you and I were born the same way, so you're no beast," Yu Yuan snarled at him, baring his teeth.
The duty of the Heavenly Dao forced Qi Yu to put aside her desire to spectate. She patiently asked, "Don't be in a hurry to get angry. Tell me what the reason is that caused you to quarrel like this. Then I'll make a judgment."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Si Qing and whispered, "Go, go to the mortal realm and summon the Supreme and Chen Xi."
Si Qing nodded, transformed into a clone, and descended to seek help.
After so many years, Jin Yan and Yu Yuan must have fought like this before. To mediate and judge their dispute, they needed someone experienced to help.
Jin Yan and Yu Yuan had no idea that Qi Yu had already sent Si Qing to call for reinforcements. The two dragons were still arguing loudly.
Qi Yu listened carefully and discovered that the two dragons had gone from arguing about recent work-related issues to quarreling about who stepped on whose eggshell when they first hatched tens of thousands of years ago.
Qi Yu held her head, feeling a headache, and said weakly, "I'm asking you the reason for your fight. You don't need to explain all the grievances from so many years. You just need to tell me why you're fighting like this this time."
Jin Yan and Yu Yuan, like two enraged and flustered roosters, continued to bicker back and forth, with no one answering.
Qi Yu looked dejected.
In the end, she had no choice but to sit down and wait.
When Si Qing brought Yan Hua and Chen Xi up, Yan Hua and Chen Xi were not in a hurry at all upon learning that Jin Yan and Yu Yuan were fighting. They continued to chat as they ascended, as if they were just dealing with a quarrel between young disciples in a clan school.
"...Master," Si Qing said, looking at Yan Hua who was unhurriedly flying up. He couldn't help but urge him, "Aren't you worried? They're fighting, fighting earth-shatteringly, with tiles flying everywhere. They even set up a barrier before fighting, just to prevent Sister and me from finding out."
It sounded quite serious and looked quite tragic, so why wasn't Yan Hua worried, as if a young disciple from the clan school was about to get their parents called?
Chen Xi looked at Si Qing and spoke before Yan Hua could, "It's not that we're not worried, it's just that we don't think it's serious enough. It's just a minor scuffle. Si Qing, do you know that the most serious time Jin Yan and Yu Yuan fought, they dug out each other's inverse scales! They even peeled off each other's dragon scales alive! Flesh and blood flew everywhere!"
Chen Xi rubbed his arms as he spoke, as if the thought of it made him feel pain.
Si Qing opened his mouth, "...Oh."
Compared to their past experiences, this was indeed a minor scuffle. After all, it was just overturning tiles, not cracking open a high god's skull.
Well.
It's not a big deal!
Si Qing reassured himself.
Yan Hua looked at Si Qing and said, "Actually, it was very common for such things to happen in our era, so Chen Xi and I don't take it seriously."
Si Qing said "oh," and then couldn't help but mutter to himself, "But I still can't figure out how these two started fighting while working in the Thirteenth Heaven?"
"Matters like these documents don't involve their personal issues."
If they had any disagreements and couldn't decide, they could have asked him and Sister. There shouldn't have been anything worth fighting about.
"Well, there are too many reasons that can make Jin Yan and Yu Yuan fight," Yan Hua said, looking at Si Qing. "You are Si Qing's clone, right?"
Si Qing's clone nodded.
Yan Hua hummed. "Jin Yan and Yu Yuan can even fight to the death over a piece of cake. The reason they're fighting like this this time is likely not about anything serious."
Meanwhile, in the Thirteenth Heaven.
After listening to Jin Yan and Yu Yuan curse and bicker for half an hour, Qi Yu finally heard the core of their argument.
Jin Yan looked at Qi Yu and complained, "Those four green pastries sent by the immortal attendant were clearly mine, but he ate them. Yu Yuan, you dead dragon, you ate them but won't admit it!"
Yu Yuan spat at Jin Yan, "You're talking nonsense, it wasn't me who ate them, I only took a bite!"
"Taking a bite counts as eating!" Jin Yan slammed the table in anger.
Qi Yu's veins bulged on her forehead. She bent her fingers and said with a smile, "Say that again, both of you."
"What were you fighting about again?"
Jin Yan was startled by Qi Yu's sudden oppressive aura and repeated unnaturally, "Because... of the pastries."
Qi Yu's face darkened considerably.
Dark clouds gathered over the Thirteenth Heaven.
On his way to the Thirteenth Heaven, Yan Hua looked at the rumbling thunder and calmly guessed, "Judging by the situation, Qi Yu must have already found out the reason for their fight."
Chen Xi looked at the dark clouds over the Thirteenth Heaven and nodded urgently. "Yes, I think so too. The dark clouds produced by Qi Yu's anger are exactly the same as your expression every time Jin Yan and Yu Yuan make you angry, Yan Hua."
Yan Hua: "..."
