Chapter 1547  Chapter 392: My Name Is Haotian

“Mr. Haotian, please.”

Li Hao looked at Madam Su, but she just smiled without responding.

“Junior truly did not come for the marriage agreement.”

Li Hao took a deep breath and said earnestly once again.

Madam Su smiled and said, “You’re tired, go and rest first, otherwise people will say the Su Family has no hospitality.”

“Please.”

The maid extended her hand, but her tone was like a command.

Li Hao’s face slightly changed, but he eventually held back. Before seeing Ying Xiaoxiao’s reincarnated body, he didn’t want to have a conflict with the Su Family.

After Li Hao was taken away by Yaoqin, another maid, Zhi Yuan, carefully asked the mistress, whose face was gradually turning cold and frosty:

“Madam, that young man is pretending to be ignorant, advancing with a strategic retreat. Do you really want to agree to this marriage? Who knows where he got this marriage agreement from; agreeing would let him rise to the top and succeed effortlessly?”

Madam Su’s eyes swept over the threshold of the hall the young man had just crossed and said coldly, “What do you know? This item is a Great Dao Spiritual Treasure; how could it be discarded? It even carries the aura of an Emperor. The other party is most likely a descendant or someone important to that Emperor…”

At this point, she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten earlier, not using the Soul Life Mirror of Jingwei Hall to see the young man’s soul life.

But she soon relaxed. With cultivation in the Immortal Monarch Realm and arriving with a marriage agreement, he must also be a prodigy of the Human Race. Her earlier words to the young man were not entirely perfunctory.

However, there are many prodigies in the Human Race who want to marry her daughter; it is somewhat overestimating oneself.

Moreover, comparing aptitude, is there anyone in the Human Race that can match the one from the Lin Family?

“Let’s wait for the Family Head to come back and discuss. If a marriage must happen, Mu Qing will not be married to him. Even though the marriage agreement demands marriage with the top prodigy of the Su Family’s current generation, if Mu Qing is already wed, we can’t forcefully separate her, can we?”

Madam Su’s eyes flickered slightly. The marriage agreement was drafted roughly, with many loopholes to exploit. The ancestors and that Emperor, both of the highest status, considered it a trivial matter, naturally not thinking too much. But now as the Su Family’s mistress, many matters cannot be ignored.

This concerns the Su Family’s future lifeline and the entire structure of Gusu Emperor Star, including the Human Race’s influence in the Northern Domain; it has a significant impact and isn’t something a casual remark can decide.

The cause was planted in the past, and now the effect is evident. Even the Emperor couldn’t predict future changes after endless ages.

“First arrange for him in the small courtyard so as not to disturb the other children in the backyard, lest he rekindles his greed after witnessing the prosperity…”

Madam Su’s voice was calm as she instructed.

Zhi Yuan nodded, immediately using a communication token to send a message to Yaoqin who was leading the young man away.

…

Small courtyard?

Yaoqin received the message and immediately understood. Having served by the mistress’s side for thousands of years, she’s perceptive and knows the mistress’s intention well.

Immediately, her figure shifted direction on the long rainbow, speaking to the young man behind, “This way, please.”

Though she said ‘please,’ the tone was cold, without a hint of courtesy.

Li Hao noticed this maid had a bias against him but paid it no mind, only furrowing his brows with a bit of helplessness and anxiety. He initially thought presenting that item would allow him to see Ying Xiaoxiao’s reincarnated body, but unexpectedly there were twists and turns.

His gaze swept around, observing the courtyards along the way, seeing numerous Immortal Gardens with Divine Tree Spirit Seeds planted, and servants walking around with extraordinary auras, many at the True Immortal Realm, with Immortal Monarch Realm overseers scattered throughout.

“Sir, it is inappropriate to gaze disrespectfully.”

Yaoqin noticed the young man gazing around, eyes filled with contempt. The marriage agreement isn’t finalized, yet he yearns for the peak of worldly prosperity; truly a dream.

But since the madam hasn’t explicitly refused and driven the young man out, she didn’t show obvious disdain and soon led Li Hao to a quieter western area of the Su Mansion. Here, the gardens and halls were more modest compared to the places Li Hao had passed, but still comparatively luxurious, akin to a royal palace.

This was the small courtyard; with the Su Family’s visitors being a mixed lot, the reception area naturally varied, with the small courtyard used for entertaining ordinary families.

“This is Sea moon Hall, sir; you are to stay here for now. The madam will summon you if needed.”

Yaoqin brought Li Hao to a courtyard and turned to speak to him.

Then, with a slight glance, the servants in the courtyard quickly gathered, hurriedly greeting her as Yaoqin girl.

As Madam Su’s close maid, she held an extremely high position within the Su Mansion, with various villa managers eager to curry favor.

“Summon?”

Li Hao’s brows furrowed deeper; wasn’t this akin to detention?

“Can I roam around and see the gardens?”

Li Hao asked.

Yaoqin had anticipated this question from Li Hao, responding without thinking, “Within this small courtyard, you may explore freely, but there are women elsewhere; refrain from intrusion.”

The statement was reasonable.

Li Hao remained silent; many things were beyond his control. Previously in the Southern Domain, and now in the Su Family, it seemed the same.

Seeing Li Hao silent, Yaoqin’s lips curled slightly, feeling an inexplicable pleasure seeing the young man’s awkwardness. She inherently disliked those who climb the social ladder, especially considering among the stunning daughters of the Su Family, one would be chosen to marry this man—she felt it undeserving, like a pearl cast before swine, an Immortal Treasure flawed.

“Make sure to entertain the guest well; anything that happens is on you.”

Yaoqin instructed the Sea moon Hall manager.

The middle-aged manager, despite being at the Immortal Monarch Realm, was full of flattery, nodding repeatedly.

Once Yaoqin left, the manager and several maids immediately approached, asking if Li Hao wished to rest or look around the courtyard, offering to show him around.

Li Hao wasn’t inclined to stay idle but didn’t intend to remain waiting there. He asked the manager to take him around the small courtyard to see if he might encounter Ying Xiaoxiao’s reincarnated body by chance.

The manager agreed, then accompanied Li Hao to leisurely stroll around the small courtyard.

This small courtyard was vast, larger than the Imperial City; many courtyards had barriers blocking Divine Sense from probing.

Li Hao walked around, finding many courtyards he couldn’t enter due to residents. Apart from enjoying the beauty and prosperity of the Su Mansion, he didn’t see who he wanted to meet.

Sighing, he decided to return to Sea moon Hall to wait.

Since Madam Su didn’t outright reject him, Li Hao believed she wouldn’t leave him waiting too long; there would eventually be a conclusion.

Just as he was about to return, suddenly a booming sound echoed from the distant sky. Accompanied by the trembling of sword cries, akin to a dragon’s roar, a massive Dharma Aspect flashed by, its powerful impact spreading wide.

But the shockwave, upon reaching the small courtyard’s walls, was dissipated by a barrier.

Li Hao paused, sensing from a distance that it was two figures of the Immortal Monarch Realm engaging in battle, one wielding a sword, whose Sword Dao Realm was not low, possessing a five-layer Origin Realm.

In the Su Mansion, someone dares to engage in such an open battle?

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, and the manager beside him quickly said, “Sir, that area is the Su Family’s Earth Level martial arena; the young master of the Su Family enjoys sparring there.”

Li Hao understood, about to avert his gaze, when suddenly two rainbows streaked across the distant sky, clothing fluttering. Among them, one donned in blue-green attire, reminiscent of the cool hues of deep summer, caught his eye.

Li Hao was immediately stunned, his pupils slightly enlarging. The rainbow rapidly expanded in sight, soon revealing the features of the figure in blue-green attire.

Li Hao felt his heart thump; that face, those lively eyes, and the exquisite flawless features were precisely Ying Xiaoxiao!

It was her; she was truly here?!

Reincarnated body?

Li Hao felt his mind buzz, a slight tremor, his blood suddenly feeling like it was boiling.

Swoosh!

His figure shot up abruptly, shattering the air with a roar. Extreme Realm strength displayed Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement and his movement technique, unconsciously releasing—within a step, he appeared before the rainbow, reaching the woman’s presence.
