Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1545  Chapter 391: Ancient Betrothal

In the distant outskirts of the mansion, there was a low murmur of human voices, but in front of the mansion, it was clean and quiet, and no one dared to approach.

Thus, as the young man walked slowly forward, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, and the Immortal Lords patrolling outside the mansion all cast their gaze upon him.

When they saw the simple clothes the young man was wearing, their eyes seemed to become three times sharper.

“Who are you, and what is your visit for?”

An Immortal Lord descended in front of Li Hao and spoke calmly, without any cold aggression. After all, the Su Family was a great family, and most of the visitors were noble persons who could not be judged by appearances.

Li Hao thought of Ying Xiaoxiao’s words, the Su Family of the Northern Domain… He took a deep breath, feeling a bit inexplicably nervous in his heart.

He took out the ancient scroll from the Heaven and Earth Space, remembering that the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul said it was granted by the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor. By holding this scroll and coming to the Su Family, he could get what he desired, and that Immortal Emperor must know what he needed.

He took out the ancient scroll and handed it to the Immortal Lord guard in front of him, saying:

“I am Haotian, here to visit the Su Family. Please present this item to the person in charge of the Su Family.”

The Immortal Lord guard raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing a hint of Tao’s aura emitted from the ancient scroll, along with a hidden aura that made him feel a bit apprehensive. He realized that the young man before him was not simple and immediately accepted the scroll, saying:

“Please follow me to the Guest Reception Hall and wait for a moment.”

As he said this, he gestured for Li Hao to follow him.

Following him through the mansion, Li Hao felt as if he had stepped into an Immortal Realm, with the immortal power around him suddenly becoming ten times more intense.

The immortal power on the Gusu Emperor Star was already dense, like in the Yan Chu Imperial City, but inside this mansion, the immortal power resembled that of an extraordinary Immortal God Sacred Land, seeping into his pores. Here, even without cultivating, one’s cultivation could slowly progress.

Soon, following the rainbow within the mansion, Li Hao came to the Guest Reception Hall to wait.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Lord guard took the ancient scroll to the depths of the Su Mansion, to a grand, ancient, and majestic hall.

After a series of deliveries and reports, the ancient scroll finally entered the grand hall and was respectfully presented before a noblewoman.

This noblewoman’s attire was extremely lavish, adorned with pearls of Immortal Treasure Liuli at the edges of her garments. Her skin was fair, her appearance a blend of purity, nobility, and a dignified authority developed from a long-standing position, making it difficult for others to resist such a presence.

At the sight of the ancient scroll, the noblewoman’s eyebrows raised slightly, sensing a subtle Emperor’s Might emanating from it.

This caused her some surprise, indicating that this item had once been held by an Immortal Emperor.

And an item held by an Immortal Emperor, how valuable must it be?

She set down the immortal nectar, picked up the ancient scroll, and slowly opened it.

Golden light burst forth from the scroll as it opened, revealing ancient characters imbued with a grand, ancient Dao Intent, clearly written by someone extraordinary.

Upon seeing the two characters on the far right, the noblewoman’s eyebrows furrowed and she was visibly taken aback, her fingers trembling slightly, almost unable to hold on.

Things that could cause her such shock were extremely rare; even if an Immortal King fell before her, she wouldn’t bat an eye, but now, just two words could render her so.

Her gaze swept line by line, and when she saw the dragon and phoenix images beneath, spiraling with a delightful and auspicious sound, her heart felt as though it had fallen into an icy abyss, with no sense of joy, only a chill creeping in.

At this moment, how could it be?

The noblewoman’s eyes slightly trembled as her eyelashes fluttered in the light, and the two maids beside her exchanged looks, seeing the astonishment and surprise in each other’s eyes.

What on earth could cause Madam to lose her composure like this?

After a while, the ancient scroll was once again closed, and the noblewoman looked at the reporter, her gaze focused as she asked:

“Who is the person that presented this scroll, what does he look like, and how many of them are there?”

The reporter, not the Immortal Lord guard who first received Li Hao, had already diligently gathered all the information, and now spoke with the familiarity of someone who had witnessed it firsthand, bowing respectfully:

“According to the guard at the entrance, there was only one person, a young man, dressed simply, soul life was not reflected, unsure of his age, and he came alone. His cultivation realm is at the Immortal Monarch Realm First Level.”

“Immortal Monarch Realm First Level…”

Upon hearing this, the noblewoman’s eyebrows slightly raised. A mere Immortal Monarch Realm First Level possessing the ancient marriage contract left by ancestors, daring to come and seek familial ties?

She paused briefly in silence before saying, “Summon that person to Jingwei Hall.”

“Yes.”

…

While waiting in the Guest Reception Hall, it wasn’t long before Li Hao saw the Immortal Lord guard return, his attitude becoming even more respectful than before. He bent down and gestured:

“Esteemed guest, please, the Madam has instructed for you to wait in Jingwei Hall.”

Li Hao sighed in relief, apparently the words of the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul were correct, and that Dao Origin Immortal Emperor truly aided him completely along the way.

He silently thanked again in his heart, rose, gave a small bow, and then followed the guard to leave the hall, traveling along the Changhong Immortal Path within the mansion to a more magnificent and luxurious hall.

Soon, Li Hao arrived at this hall.

The maids at the entrance respectfully invited Li Hao in and served him tea.

Li Hao sat on a grand chair carved from millennium Divine Wood, his gaze wandering as the fragrant aroma of tea filled the air.

Yet, his mind was not on the tea, but on whether he would soon meet the other reincarnated body Ying Xiaoxiao mentioned.

However, Ying Xiaoxiao said it hadn’t awakened yet, what could that mean?

Is it not yet born, or is it, like Ying Xiaoxiao’s previous life, not yet awoken to Shi Miao’s memories?

As Li Hao pondered this, several figures slowly approached from outside the door, led by none other than the noblewoman herself. Her eyes were cold, and when the maids beside her were about to announce her presence, she raised a hand to stop them, quietly walking to the doorway to peer inside.

Inside the hall, sitting on the chair, was a young man dressed simply and plainly, his gaze roaming around, hands occasionally clenching, his eyes full of unease and tension. But beneath those clear eyes, there was a hint of anticipation and expectation.

The noblewoman’s lips curled into a slight arc, a cold smile.

He appeared honest and clean, sincere on the outside, but eyes don’t lie.

Without her permission, he was already imagining how glorious it would be to climb the ranks within the Su Family, wasn’t he?

She stepped forward, the sound of her footsteps resounding this time, not concealed.

And naturally, the young man inside the hall immediately heard these suddenly close footsteps, and as he looked over, he saw a woman as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, exuding nobility, walking into the hall with grace.

What startled Li Hao was that the woman’s face and eyes bore a resemblance to Ying Xiaoxiao!

How could this be?

Li Hao was a little lost, his heart suddenly jolting, could it be…

Seeing the young man so flustered, the previously calm expression on the noblewoman’s face couldn’t help but furrow her brows, her eyes turning cold.

The maids who had served beside her for years, understanding the madam’s moods without words, immediately shouted lightly to interrupt Li Hao’s thoughts and bring him back to awareness.

“How dare you, to gaze directly at the madam!”

The maid scolded, appearing to be in the prime of her youth, with red lips and white teeth, yet exhibiting an imposing demeanor, imposing without anger.

As the personal maid of the family head of a large clan, her bearing and authority were no less than that of some small clan leaders.

Li Hao snapped back, but his heart was already trembling, and he couldn’t help but stand up, saying: “You…”

The noblewoman furrowed her brows, her expression turning completely cold, and said, “Are you the one who presented the marriage contract, intending to marry my daughter?”

Upon hearing this icy phrase, Li Hao immediately regained his senses, bewildered, “Marriage contract?”

Seeing Li Hao’s reaction, the noblewoman was slightly surprised within, though not outwardly, and said, “You did not know it was a marriage contract?”

It was only then that Li Hao thought of that ancient scroll, unable to help but pause, quickly seeking response from the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul, but for a long time, there was no reply, seemingly truly fallen into sleep.

“I…”

Seeing Li Hao’s changing expression, before he could speak again to explain, the noblewoman lightly narrowed her eyes and asked, “Then where did this marriage contract come from?”
