Chapter 268 A friend comes from afar
Li Tiangang also looked at the young man's back with complicated eyes, his fingers slightly clenched, showing nervousness, expectation, confusion and sadness.
In the past, he had an argument with that young man, and the other party abandoned the surname Li and left this magnificent God General’s Mansion.
Who would have thought that today, it was the ancestor who personally came forward to invite the other party back.
He couldn't help but ask himself, he was indeed wrong, but was he really so wrong? He established his Dao heart with the laws of all things, but at this moment, his Dao heart was somewhat shaken.
Li Hao also didn't expect that the ancestor of the Li family could do this for him. He felt a little surprised and a little regretful.
Regret is not regret, it is that you have to hurt their hearts.
The moon waxes and wanes, and it is impossible to have everything in your life.
Once the bloodline is cut off by the abyss, there is no turning back. Many things are missed or done wrong, which will eventually become regrets. Even if a broken mirror is glued together, it will still be cracked and can only reflect broken scenes.
"I appreciate your kindness, Senior."
Li Hao bowed slightly and said, "It's not worth making an exception for me. The thousand-year glory accumulated by the predecessors who have fought in battles for generations and killed enemies and demons cannot be broken because of me. The family inheritance has family rules and clan regulations. Otherwise, one generation will be dazzling, and ten thousand generations will be annihilated."
"I no longer have the blood of the Li family. Even if I were a real dragon, it would be difficult for me to convince the people. Moreover, I have made up my mind. I cannot bear the burden of the God General's Mansion."
After saying this, he bowed and thanked him solemnly.
After hearing Li Hao's words, the blood color disappeared from He Jianlan and others' faces, and the hopeful light in their eyes dimmed like a firefly that had been blown out.
Li Tiangang, who was kneeling on the ground, was also stunned, and then his face began to twitch and tremble.
In the past, he asked the young man to be well-behaved, upright and law-abiding, but the young man was lazy and casual.
Now, he is using family rules and regulations as an excuse to sever ties with the Li family.
He cut it all off with the look of his own demands.
"you……"
Li Tianyuan was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Li Hao to refuse so straightforwardly.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Kid, it's okay even if you are not a true dragon. The Li family owes you, and we old guys will make up for it. The Li family's true dragon can accept our soul power to condense its soul. Even if you are not a true dragon, let us condense it for you once!"
Li Hao immediately thought of the scene in Longcheng Muhe, where he inherited the true dragon and put on the ancestor's coat to fight and conquer.
But there is Li Tianzong's memory.
I wonder if the old man would feel relieved about this before he disappeared.
Li Hao sighed inwardly and said to the Li family ancestor in front of him:
"I cannot bear the kindness of my senior. Soul condensation is too consuming for you. You don't have to do this. The Li family doesn't owe me anything. We are even now."
In the Death River of Dragon City, the ancestors of the Li family condensed souls for him and helped him break the bottleneck of 360 soul condensations, but Li Hao felt that as long as he collected a few more soul condensation secrets, he could break through it by himself, and there was no need to waste the soul power of these heroic souls.
After all, these heroic souls in front of him were all human heroes who had killed enemies and slayed demons on the battlefield. They were also heroes of his own era. Li Hao felt unworthy of asking them to dedicate themselves to him and shorten the time of their residual souls.
After hearing Li Hao's words, Li Tianyuan fell silent again.
He wanted to gather the power of many heroic souls, not only to repay Li Hao for his help this time, but also to hope that Li Hao would remember them and help the Li family again if they were in trouble in the future.
But the young man in front of him didn't seem to be moved by these.
For warriors, this is an extremely precious item that can greatly improve their strength, but the young man in front of him treats it as nothing.
"child……"
Li Tianyuan frowned and looked at Li Hao, wanting to say something else.
"senior."
Li Hao interrupted immediately and said with a smile: "We can't be blood relatives, but if you want to be friends with me, I welcome you."
“It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar.”
"I appreciate your kindness, please don't try to stop me."
After saying this, he bowed his head slightly as a greeting, then his eyes fell on Li Yuanzhao in the courtyard and he smiled slightly: "If you have time, you can also come over to my place to play."
"Um!"
Li Yuanzhao had sad eyes and nodded vigorously, his eyes full of reluctance.
Li Tianyuan and other heroic spirits of Li family ancestors fell silent when they heard Li Hao's words, knowing that the young man was determined and there was no way to persuade him to stay.
Li Tianyuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he said to Li Xuanli in the hall: "The Li family's true dragon will be in your charge for the time being."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to Li Hao, then turned around and sped away.
Upon seeing this, the other ancestors had different expressions, but all looked depressed or sad. They nodded to thank Li Hao, then flew back to the ancestral hall one after another.
Li Hao had previously rushed to Qingzhou City to rescue them, and this kindness is hard to repay.
But the young man didn't seem to care, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Hao walked out of the courtyard, and Li Yuanzhao and others followed him hurriedly. Li Wushuang hesitated to speak and wanted to keep him, but when he thought that even the ancestors could not stop the young man, let alone himself, his eyes became dim.
Li Mingjian, Li Zhining and others all had complicated expressions. No one in the Li family had ever been treated with such importance, not even their fathers and grandfathers.
But in their generation, there emerged an extremely dazzling figure.
But the other party, like a dragon emerging from shallow water, soared into the sky and no longer lived with them.
However, looking around the world, who dares to say that the Li family of the Divine General's Mansion is a shallow shoal?
It’s just that the world the young man was traveling in was too vast.
Or rather, that bond was severed by someone...
"Oh, by the way, where is the noble lady who poisoned me?"
Li Hao, who walked into the yard, suddenly asked.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Li Xuanli had just been designated as the True Dragon by the ancestor himself. Although there had not been any grand ceremony yet, he had to take on the responsibilities of the True Dragon Patriarch from this moment on.
He was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after his wife Gao Qingqing elbowed him. He quickly said, "She's in his yard. Do you want to go see her? I'll take you there. No matter how you want to punish her, with your current status... it's what you deserve."
He suddenly felt that he had more things to consider and think about. Questions flashed through his mind: if Li Hao killed Liu Yuerong, what would happen to the reputation of the Divine General's Mansion?
But soon, these distracting thoughts were suppressed by him. With Li Hao's current status as a duke, he could be convicted of poisoning the duke. Although it was a scandal in the Godly General's Mansion, if Li Hao really executed him, it would not be considered a violation of the law as long as he smoothed over the relationship a little.
After all, if the Liu family wants to retaliate later, they will have to think twice when facing Li Hao now.
Maybe he will even send someone to apologize with a generous gift.
As a large family, the family's rise and fall is more important than a momentary anger, and more important than the honor and disgrace of a single branch.
With many thoughts in mind, Li Xuanli caught up with Li Hao.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Li Hao nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but follow. The reason why Li Hao broke up with the Li family was because of Liu Yuerong's poisoning.
This scandal was suppressed by the Divine General's Palace and not much was spread outside, but everyone in the Divine General's Palace knew about it.
Now, is that young man going to take revenge himself? Li Tiangang's face was grim, and he immediately thought of his second brother who had blocked the sword for him. He had taken care of him since he was a child, and entrusted his wife and children to him before he died, but now...
He felt sad, but at this moment, he had no reason to stop it.
Moreover, in his heart, he hated Liu Yuerong, but no matter how much he hated her, he could not forget their brotherhood. This was the reason why he protected her in the first place.
Ji Qingqing quickly got up and chased after him, her face filled with sadness. She couldn't believe that the child really left so decisively.
…
In front of Shuihua Courtyard.
Li Xuanli opened the courtyard door for Li Hao and took a look at his former nephew. He sighed inwardly and said softly, "She is in here. After the investigation, she has been imprisoned by your father."
"Is this imprisonment?"
Li Hao glanced inside the courtyard. Except for the groups of servants who used to be gone, the courtyard was covered with fallen leaves, and the pond in the courtyard was filled with fallen leaves, making it seem like a pool of stagnant water.
But this is still a luxurious courtyard and has nothing to do with imprisonment.
When Li Xuanli heard what Li Hao said, his expression changed slightly, and he just said, "We'll wait for you outside."
This was also a hint to Li Hao, telling him that if he was dissatisfied, he could do whatever he wanted.
Li Hao didn't say anything, but walked into the courtyard, along the bluestone path, and saw the figure of the beautiful woman leaning in the pavilion.
But now, the other party is obviously not as gorgeous as before, and the jeweled hairpins on her head are now much less, with only a round bead hairpin.
Hearing the noise, Liu Yuerong turned around. When she saw Li Hao, she was slightly startled, but she was not too surprised. Instead, she stared at Li Hao and said after a moment:
"It's only been less than two years. Has your appearance changed so much?"
"You've changed a lot."
Li Hao smiled, but he did not have the hateful and angry look that outsiders would imagine when meeting enemies.
As he spoke, he walked into the pavilion and looked at the fruit plate on the table. The fruit was a little wilted and not fresh enough.
"Now that you have achieved success and fame, do you want to come and avenge what happened?"
Liu Yuerong stared at Li Hao, but sneered slightly, without any fear on her face, and said: "Kill me if you want. Anyway, I live here, which is no different from being dead. My only hope is to see my son surpass you."
"But even if I don't see it, I believe that day will come sooner or later."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
As she spoke, she sneered and looked directly at Li Hao with sharp eyes.
Li Hao didn't get angry when he heard this. He still had a smile on his face, and the curve of his mouth was even higher at this moment.
"You really dare to think so."
"Humph, you are indeed a monster, but so what? I have seen many monsters, like your Uncle Nine. Although he is not as good as you, he also amazed everyone back then. Everyone thought he would lead the Li family to a higher peak, but what was the result?"
"He showed off his talent but died before he was 20. This is what it means when God envies talented people!"
Liu Yuerong sneered: "Although you are strong now, who knows that you will not encounter such an accident again?"
Li Hao nodded: "That's right, so before such an accident happens, I plan to let your son have an accident first."
Liu Yuerong was stunned, her face suddenly changed, and she asked angrily: "What do you want to do?"
Li Hao said slowly: "Do you think I am here to kill you? No, on the contrary, after I left the Li family, I no longer hate you for what happened back then, and I even want to thank you."
Liu Yuerong was stunned.
"That little bit of divine blood may be a great help to ordinary people, but it is insignificant to me."
Li Hao said, "You once said that when parents love their children, they will plan for them in the long run. You are indeed a good mother. So I came here to tell you that I will let you see with your own eyes how I destroyed your son. This is my repayment."
“You, you dare!”
Liu Yuerong stood up suddenly and looked at Li Hao in shock and anger: "Do you really think you are lawless? My son is with the Buddha and will not let you succeed."
"Is your son going to be tied to the crotch of the Buddha for the rest of his life?"
Li Hao smiled.
Liu Yuerong's body trembled and her face turned ugly. Being targeted by the Four-Standing Realm was enough to make people unable to sleep or eat. Moreover, she had already heard about the Qingzhou City incident from the old servant. The young man in front of her was now a top-notch warrior, and even the Buddha might not be able to suppress him.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please kill me and I will atone for my sins!"
Liu Yuerong suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Hao and begged.
Li Hao neither stopped nor said anything. Before he was poisoned, he still had a very good impression of this Second Mother. After all, she was always caring and sincere. But who knew that it was all a disguise.
In the days that followed, he was tested many times, forcing him to learn to be cautious.
"Death is not enough to atone for your son's murderous intent on the real dragon. He should pay the price."
Li Hao stood up and said, "You live too comfortably here. Since you are a prisoner, you should act like a prisoner. Just wait in prison. I will beat your son like a dead dog and bring him to you."
Liu Yuerong was stunned, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly tried to hug Li Hao's legs and feet, but was blocked by a force.
She pleaded hurriedly, "I was wrong. Please consider that I once held you in my arms. Qian Feng is innocent and he knows nothing. Please consider that for his father's sake..."
"You want to take away my power, so I'll take away your son's power. That's even."
Li Hao said softly: "I don't intend to kill him, unless he wants to die, which is another matter."
After saying that, he turned and left.
In the courtyard, there were wailing sounds and constant begging, but the boy resolutely left.
When the gate was closed again, the wailing turned into cursing, then into curses, and finally into crying.
Afterwards, Liu Yuerong thought of writing a letter, wanting to pass this message to her son, and she would never leave the mountain until he achieved the realm of Taiping Dao.
Only in this way can you save your life.
…
Outside the yard, Li Hao walked out, and the wailing and begging sounds inside were blocked by the gate.
Everyone was surprised and didn't know what Li Hao said.
Li Hao only said to Li Xuanli that criminals should stay where criminals are.
Li Xuanli understood Li Hao's intention, and he felt somewhat relieved that Li Hao did not kill Liu Yuerong directly. After all, she was his brother's wife after all.
He sighed inwardly and saw Li Hao off with everyone else.
"You can't leave!"
Li Tiangang stood at the gate of the Divine General's Mansion in advance, looking at Li Hao who was approaching with a determined look on his face.
Li Hao frowned slightly and said nothing. He just covered the man with his Dao domain to suppress him. Then he stepped past him and walked out of the God General's Mansion.
Ji Qingqing, who was chasing from the other side, shouted, "Hao'er!"
Li Hao didn't look back, but walked away. Under the attention of everyone in the God General's Mansion, he walked away along the street until he disappeared from everyone's sight.
He Jianlan and the others were pale with complicated expressions. This was the second time they had seen the young man step out of the General's Mansion.
And this time, it was a complete farewell.
“Birds fly in the sky. Only when they are tired will they stop on a tree. Besides, he is not a bird, he is a phoenix.”
Li Xiaoran looked at each other from a distance and whispered something. This was said to Li Tiangang, asking him not to get entangled in meaningless matters. This was also his own feeling at the moment. After saying this, he turned and left.
When Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing heard this, they were shocked. They knew that if the child was a bird, then they were a cage for him.
Now, they can no longer hold each other back.
…
…
Wuliang Mountain is in the Pure Land of Brahma.
Li Qianfeng, wearing a white cassock, came before the Buddha of the spiritual realm.
"Master, I wonder how long it will take for my mother to receive the call from our Li family..."
Li Qianfeng knelt on the ground, looked up with a pleading look on his face.
The Buddha sat on the golden lotus platform, looking at his miserable and anxious expression, and sighed softly, knowing that his previous salvation was in vain as the other party did not really understand.
"The disaster in Qingzhou City has been quelled. You don't have to worry about your mother's news. You still have to wait for the return of Puji Bodhisattva..."
The Buddha said softly.
Li Qianfeng was stunned, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and asked: "Has the riot in Qingzhou City been quelled?"
It was only tens of thousands of miles to Qingzhou. Wuliang Mountain was relatively close to the Li family in Qingzhou City. If Silijing traveled at full speed, they could arrive there in less than a day.
Unlike Youzhou, although it is a relatively close large province to Qingzhou, it is still relatively close, but in fact it is separated by hundreds of thousands of miles.
The Buddha said: "You can be at ease."
"Thank you, Master!" Li Qianfeng kowtowed excitedly.
The Buddha asked Li Qianfeng to leave and practice, then looked at Lin Wujing next to him and asked, "That little thief hasn't confessed yet, where is the holy object he stole?"
