Chapter 590 One Hundred Years of Solitude
This time, without waiting for Li Hao to refuse, Su Zhenyuan ordered the guards outside the palace to go and summon his three daughters.
The Su family's Four Little Phoenixes, in addition to Su Muqing, have three other daughters, all of whom are extremely talented. They are extremely famous in Gusu Imperial Star and are favored and loved by other big families, who all want to marry into their alliances.
…
In the Su family's inner courtyard martial arts arena.
After Su Muqing and Su Qiyu made the invitation, the atmosphere among the many Su family members present was very lively. The old Immortal King saw what these Su family members were thinking and asked Su Muqing to go on stage to show off her skills, which could be regarded as a demonstration to the Su family members.
Su Muqing did not refuse and went on stage with Su Wanqing to have a brief exchange with each other.
Although they only touched upon the subject, the body movements and magic skills displayed by the two and the ultimate strength they displayed shocked many of the Su family's disciples in the audience and made them admire them even more.
"I think it won't be long before Mu Qing, the kid, enters the Primordial Realm and reaches the Immortal King Realm."
The old Immortal King stroked his beard and chuckled, his eyes full of pride. After all, hundreds of years ago, the girl in front of him had also learned martial arts in this martial arts arena. He taught her personally at that time, and the girl had an amazing comprehension and mastered it very quickly. In just a few months, she was far ahead.
In a sense, he is also half of the other party's master.
"Um."
Su Qi Yu nodded, and when he heard the words "original true world", his eyes flickered slightly. He would not miss the opportunity this time.
"Wanqing is a rare child, but unfortunately, she is still a little inferior to Mu Qing. The fact that my Su family was able to give birth to Mu Qing is a great blessing."
The old Immortal King glanced at Su Wanqing with a very gentle look. If it weren't for the existence of Su Muqing, who was too evil, Su Wanqing would definitely be as dazzling as a pearl in the Su family.
But unfortunately, since ancient times, when the bright moon comes out, the stars dim, and there is only the sun and the moon in the world, and they cannot compete with each other for brilliance.
As the two women stepped down from the stage, the smile on the old Immortal King's face grew even wider. Su Muqing was about to say goodbye to them when suddenly, a wave of vibration came from the distant void.
Immediately afterwards, a figure descended here with extraordinary realm power, deliberately emitting only a slight fluctuation to avoid startling the two young ladies.
"Miss Wanqing, the master of the family invites you to the Minghuang Palace."
The personal guard of the Ming Emperor's Palace said respectfully.
Seeing these personal guards that only their father could mobilize, Su Muqing and Su Wanqing were both stunned. They heard that their father had left before to attend to an important matter, and now he has returned?
"What did my father call me for?"
Su Wanqing asked doubtfully, glancing at Su Muqing beside her.
When his father returns, if there is something important to discuss, the first person he should look for is Su Muqing.
The personal guard of the Ming Emperor's Palace had a gentle expression. He had watched these two young ladies grow up since they were young. These two pearls were loved by everyone in the Su family. He said softly:
"I heard that it was to discuss your marriage."
"marriage?"
Su Wanqing was stunned and stood there.
Su Muqing raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that she had just gotten engaged to the man from the Lin family, and her father had also found a marriage for her sister Wanqing. Is the situation at the border really so urgent?
"Miss Wanqing, please."
The personal guards of the Ming Emperor's Palace said respectfully.
Su Wanqing came back to her senses and a hint of resistance suddenly appeared in her eyes, but when the words came to her lips, she still didn't say anything. She knew that since her father had summoned her, she had to go no matter what.
Moreover, she understood since childhood that although she was born into the Su family, a wealthy family, and enjoyed countless cultivation resources, glory and wealth, she could not escape the sacrifice of marriage into the wealthy family.
"I see."
Su Wanqing responded with a dim look in her eyes and a low mood.
Su Muqing knew that her sister had been gentle and submissive since childhood. Although she was a famous prodigy in Gusu Imperial Star, who would have thought that her personality was so easy to get along with, gentle and soft, even to the point of being weak.
"I'll go with you."
She immediately grabbed Su Wanqing's wrist, her eyes bright and sharp, "If you don't like it, tell me and I'll help you plead with your father!"
When Su Wanqing heard her caring words, she was touched and nodded.
The personal guard of the Minghuang Palace opened his mouth slightly, but seeing Su Muqing's sharp gaze, he finally said nothing. He enveloped the two of them in the realm, nodded slightly to the old Immortal King and Su Qi Yu beside him, then said goodbye and left.
At the same time, personal guards from the Ming Emperor's Palace also went to the other two courtyards.
…
In the Ming Emperor's Palace.
Li Hao, Su Zhenyuan, and Mrs. Su Qingmei stayed here.
When summoned by the personal guards, Su Zhenyuan asked Li Hao many questions, such as where he lived before, what kind of martial arts he was best at, which origins of the great Dao he practiced, etc.
Li Hao answered selectively and did not reveal any details about his own cultivation and techniques.
Su Zhenyuan did not force him. After all, the young man in front of him was extremely talented. In the future, he would become the disciple of the Emperor. His own cultivation and skills were a secret, so it was normal to keep it secret.
He gave Li Hao a seat and ordered someone to serve tea. In the slightly dull and awkward atmosphere, with the return of the personal guards, the atmosphere in the hall was broken and became a little relaxed and cheerful.
"Daughter greets father."
Two figures entered the hall, and seeing Su Zhenyuan and his mother above them, they both bowed and worshipped. Then their eyes quickly swept towards the young man sitting nearby.
When they saw the young man's appearance, the two girls were stunned, with surprise in their eyes.
Isn’t this the… playboy who stopped them earlier?
"Mu Qing, why are you here?"
When Mrs. Su Qingmei saw Su Muqing coming, her face changed slightly. She subconsciously glanced at Li Hao who was sitting opposite her, but saw that the young man's eyes were fixed on her biological daughter Su Muqing. Her face suddenly became ugly and gloomy, with annoyed anger in her eyes.
Su Muqing withdrew her eyes from Li Hao and thought, is this the ideal husband that her parents found for her sister Wanqing? Their vision is too poor!
She unconsciously said with a cold voice, "My daughter came here to check on my sister. I want to see which genius comes to propose marriage and wants to marry my sister Wanqing."
As he spoke, he straightened up, turned his head and looked directly at the young man with eyes as sharp as swords.
But as she looked straight ahead, she saw that the young man was staring at her blankly, and her face changed and she looked a little embarrassed and annoyed.
Su Wanqing also noticed this scene, but she didn't feel anything. Instead, there was a bit of curiosity and doubt in her eyes. Although she was gentle in nature, she was delicate in mind. The young man did not hide his love for Sister Mu Qing at all, and it was obvious that he loved her deeply. She was afraid that he might ask her parents to marry him just to get close to Sister Mu Qing.
She was not angry about this. After all, she had experienced such things since she was a child. There were people who pursued Sister Mu Qing, but they did not dare to face her sister directly, so they asked other sisters to find out her sister's preferences.
Su Zhenyuan also noticed Li Hao's eyes, and couldn't help but cough lightly and said:
"Xiao Hao, this is my daughter, Su Wanqing. She is now 670 years old, at the fifth level of the Immortal Lord realm, and has a rare Dark Blood physique. She is nearly invincible among those in the same realm."
He introduced her softly, but found that the young man's eyes never moved at all, but just stared at Su Muqing steadily.
Moreover, that look was definitely not the first time they met, it was filled with some indescribable emotion. He couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Su Muqing suspiciously. Could it be that these two had interacted before?
"What are you looking at? How dare you be so rude in front of my sister? If you look at me again, I will dig your eyes out."
Su Muqing couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry when she saw Li Hao being so unconcealed.
Li Hao came back to his senses. The moon-blue dress fluttered in the breeze in the hall, as if it had jumped out from the tea stall, making a brisk sound in that summer day:
"My name is Ying Xiaoxiao. Ying means born out of necessity, and Xiao means unrestrained. What do you want to call me?"
As time goes by, the voice that seems to come from the years comes through the girl in front of me with the same face and almost the same dress. The other person's lips are moving, as if telling the words from the past.
Li Hao couldn't help but whispered:
"You can call me Haotian."
It seems to echo through the years, the same response as the first time we met.
Su Muqing was stunned, and the people around her were also stunned. Su Muqing couldn't help but laugh in anger and said, "Who asked your name? I don't care if you are called Haotian Haodi. If you stare at me again, I will dig your eyeballs out. Do you believe it or not?"
As he spoke, his entire body radiated the might of a sixth-level Immortal Lord, and a stream of light appeared on his forehead, as if time and space were turning upside down.
Such power is enough to shock an ordinary seventh-level Immortal King into speechlessness.
Li Hao also woke up, saw the pair of angry eyes, and was quickly attracted by the original power of time and space on the other party's eyebrows.
His heart trembled slightly, that thick power of the origin of time... As expected, he did not recognize the wrong person, the other party was indeed Shi Miao's reincarnation, and his memory would awaken along with Shi Miao. At that time, he should also awaken the memory of Ying Xiaoxiao's previous life!
Seeing that the young man still refused to repent, Su Muqing became completely furious and was about to explode, but Su Zhenyuan next to her raised his hand and suppressed her strength, forcing it all back into her body.
He was somewhat helpless, gave his daughter a soothing look, and said to Li Hao:
"Xiao Hao, I know you want to marry Mu Qing, but she's already engaged. Why are you doing this?"
Hearing his words, Su Muqing opened her eyes wide and looked at her father in disbelief. Then she reacted and looked at the young man in shock and anger.
Who is this person who dares to come to the Su family to propose marriage to me? Moreover, my father is so tactful. If it were someone else, he would have been annihilated with a palm!
Beside her, Su Wanqing's eyes were filled with even more curiosity. As the main person summoned at this moment, she had a kind of outlier mentality, full of curiosity, like a spectator.
Li Hao came back to his senses and was about to speak when he felt the auras of two guards outside and a woman's aura.
"Daughter greets father."
A bright white figure stepped onto a lotus platform, walked into the hall, and bowed gently.
Her long black hair fell naturally from her shoulders as she bent over, emitting bursts of fragrance that drifted in the air.
Su Zhenyuan, as if he had been rescued, immediately said to Li Hao: "Xiao Hao, this is my second daughter, Su Wanxue, whose soul life span is 820 years and she is at the seventh level of the Immortal Lord Realm!"
Su Wanxue raised her eyes in confusion, and her gaze moved to Li Hao beside her, only to see that the young man was also looking at her, but his eyes did not have the amazement in the eyes of the other genius princes. Instead, he seemed numb and calm, and shook his head slightly.
"Master, please help me."
Li Hao stood up and said with his head down.
Su Zhenyuan's lips trembled slightly. He was angry and speechless.
At this moment, he looked at the guard who returned empty-handed and vented his anger: "Where is Wanyi?"
"Ms. Wanyi is training in the outer sect and has not returned yet."
The guard hurriedly lowered his head. Being at the Immortal King level, he was actually trembling a little at this moment.
Su Zhenyuan fell silent. Among his four daughters, the eldest daughter, Su Wanyi, was the most beautiful, but her talent was slightly inferior to Su Muqing.
However, if the young man in front of him is really obsessed with his appearance, there is no need for him to be so persistent. After all, he is an immortal god. If he cannot even let go of his appearance, let alone his cultivation.
"Father, what's going on?"
Su Wanxue asked in confusion and curiosity, while looking at her two younger sisters to inquire about the situation.
Su Muqing immediately sent a message and briefly recounted the incident, only exaggerating how hateful the young man in front of her was.
Su Wanxue was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Li Hao. Who was this person who could make her father give in to such an extent?
"Young man, don't be too arrogant. Do you really think that with the Emperor behind you, you can threaten our Su family?!"
Beside him, Su Qingmei said angrily, her eyes full of coldness.
Li Hao glanced at her, then bowed his head, clasped his hands, and said, "Madam, I just want to be with Miss Su Muqing. I hope Madam will grant my wish."
"snort!"
Su Qingmei couldn't help but sneer.
Su Zhenyuan fell silent, and the smile on his face faded. The hall then fell into deathly silence, and the air seemed to become extremely heavy.
Su Muqing was about to speak, but when she saw her father's gloomy face, she quickly held back.
"If you really insist on doing this..."
After a long time, Su Zhenyuan finally spoke. His eyes were as black as stars as he stared at Li Hao. But this time he no longer had the elegance and gentleness he had before. Instead, he exuded an extremely strong and domineering power, as if an imperial majesty was emanating from him.
"I can give you a chance, but whether you can seize it depends on you. If you fail, the engagement will be void, and it won't be considered that our Su family has broken the promise of our ancestors. What do you think?"
Li Hao's heart tightened and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He knew that this might be his only chance.
After all, this marriage contract was only a gift from the Immortal Emperor Daoyuan, and the only reason he could stand here was because of this thing. Apart from that, he was nothing in front of the giant Su family.
"What chance?"
Li Hao asked in a serious tone.
Su Zhenyuan said slowly: "Mu Qing and the Lin family's prince have already had a verbal engagement, but the engagement has not yet been made. If you can make Mu Qing change her mind and get Mu Qing's approval, then I will allow you to be together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Muqing beside him hurriedly said:
"Impossible, there's no way I'd fall for him, don't even think about it!"
Su Zhenyuan's eyes condensed, and a strong pressure emanated from him, which immediately made Su Muqing's face change drastically. She turned pale and dared not say a word.
She knew that her father loved them very much, but there were some things about his ideas that no one could change. He was firm in his words and hated it when someone disobeyed his will.
Next to her, Su Qingmei's expression changed as well, but when she saw Su Muqing's reaction, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the young man mockingly, with undisguised sarcasm in her eyes.
Li Hao also heard Su Muqing's words. Although he knew that the Su Muqing at this moment was not Ying Xiaoxiao, nor was she the Shi Miao from the past and the future, for some reason, he still felt a little distressed by those words.
However, he quickly calmed down, his thoughts turned quickly, and then he said:
“But there is a time limit.”
"ten years."
Su Zhenyuan said.
Li Hao's face changed slightly. He shook his head slowly but firmly and said, "Too little."
The other party sacrificed his entire life in exchange for his survival, and just ten years of companionship was too little.
"Um?"
Su Zhenyuan frowned.
Li Hao was silent for a while before he said, "One hundred years! In these hundred years, I need to have the same rights as Miss Su. She cannot drive me away from her!"
"You're dreaming!"
Su Muqing was so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't help but turn to look at her father.
Su Zhenyuan fell silent, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue opened their eyes wide and looked at their father in astonishment. They didn't refute it on the spot? Could it be that their father really...
Su Qingmei's expression also changed, looking a little ugly, and she clenched her hands.
"Okay, I promise."
As the atmosphere became suffocating, Su Zhenyuan spoke.
"Father!"
Su Muqing's face lost all color, she couldn't believe it.
