Chapter 78: Breaking the Rules
Three days later.
Song Yueyao rushed back from Cangyu City with a tired look on her face. Her mission as governor was completed, so she temporarily resigned from her official duties and returned to Tan Palace to report.
She had already learned that Li Hao and others had returned early, and must have already returned to Qingzhou.
Thinking of the strength displayed by Li Hao, she gritted her teeth in her heart. She had practiced in the Black and White Palace for many years and had seen all kinds of geniuses, but this was the first time she had seen a guy like this.
This was somewhat of a blow to her.
"Yueyao?"
When Song Yueyao was about to return to the Black and White Palace to report Li Hao's situation to her grandfather, she happened to meet Su Yehua passing by outside the palace.
Seeing her friend, Song Yueyao slowed down her pace: "Sister Su."
The two are only three years apart in age and have been sisters for more than ten years.
"You're back so soon. Did the mission go well? Did you encounter any big monsters?" Su Yehua asked softly when she saw Song Yueyao looking tired.
Speaking of the "big monster", Song Yueyao couldn't help but think of the platform on the top of the mountain with the monster corpses neatly stacked up, and her face changed slightly.
"What?" Su Yehua was also slightly stunned. Could it be that he really encountered a big monster?
"Nothing." Song Yueyao shook her head slightly, and suddenly something occurred to her, and she said, "Sister Su, Li Hao and the others have returned, right?"
"Um?"
Su Yehua was a little surprised. She had known Song Yueyao for many years and knew that she was a cold person who treated outsiders like grass and trees and never cared about them. Why would she ask about the two young masters of the Li family? Suddenly, she thought of the location of the mission the two had received, which seemed to be Cangyu City.
"Why, did they cause trouble for you?"
Su Yehua thought of one of them, who was usually lazy and liked to sleep in class. She frowned slightly and said comfortingly:
"After all, he is the young master of a big family and likes to show off his temper. Don't take it personally..."
Song Yueyao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, something big happened in Cangyu City this time. If it weren't for Li Hao's intervention, I'm afraid I might not be able to come back."
"What?"
Su Yehua was stunned and looked at Song Yueyao in surprise, suspecting that she had said something wrong.
Song Yueyao was not surprised by her reaction. She thought that this sister didn't know Li Hao's strength yet. She immediately told her briefly everything that happened in Cangyu City.
After hearing this, Su Yehua looked at Song Yueyao in amazement.
"Fifteen miles? Him?"
The image of the young man who was sleeping soundly in class appeared in Su Yehua's mind. If she remembered correctly, the age he registered when he entered school was... fourteen?
Seeing Su Yehua's shocked expression, Song Yueyao couldn't help but smile, feeling an inexplicable joy in her heart.
It seems that I'm not the only one who was scared.
The tiredness on her face also dissipated a lot, and she waved to Su Yehua, "I'll go report first."
After saying that, he turned and floated away.
Su Yehua came back to his senses and suddenly understood.
No wonder Li Hao never attends classes or participates in the martial arts rankings. With such a level, Li Hao can even go on stage to teach others.
But having achieved such a high level of accomplishment, do you still need to enter the Tan Palace Academy?
She was confused and planned to find out more about it when she met Li Hao again.
…
…
After a few days, the disciples from Academy A who had been sent out to participate in the academy's mission returned one after another.
Su Yehua called all the disciples together to comment on their performance in this mission.
Among them, the best performance was from the team led by the two princes. They both chose the most difficult task of 15 credits and received full marks from the whole team.
In addition, they also made meritorious contributions in the mission and assisted the Demon Suppression Division in solving major cases, and were awarded one third-class merit and one second-class merit respectively.
As for the first-class merit, it is hard to come by in places other than border wars.
Even if it was a second-class merit, it was already quite shocking.
"Did they also encounter monsters attacking the city?"
Du Qiuyue and Yu Wei were discussing secretly.
Yu Wei took a look, shook his head and whispered, "I don't think so. It's possible that the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau are trying to flatter them and transfer the original credit to them. It's also possible that the place they went to is the faction behind them..."
"Shh!" Du Qiuyue was startled and quickly shut up.
Yu Wei also knew that he had spoken out of turn. The complicated situation behind the royal family was not something they could discuss.
Even if these two princes are not favored, they are both royal descendants. Who knows whether they will rise to a high position in the future?
Apart from the two princes, the rest were the best performers: Wang Han, Li Yun and his sister. They also had the most difficult tasks, and their team also scored full marks, but they did not make any additional achievements.
The other disciples from aristocratic families had different expressions. Some were whispering, some admired their strength, and some secretly curled their lips, not accepting that the other party relied on connections to get points.
Although they are only in their teens, they have already witnessed the huge differences brought about by the disparity in status. This gap will help them to observe people's words and expressions and gradually become worldly-wise.
“These two…”
When Li Yuanzhao saw Li Yun and his sister accepting praise from their painting teacher Su Ye, although he looked indifferent, his eyes clearly showed joy.
Li Zhining was fine, but Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that one of Li Yun's arms was wrapped in gauze and was obviously injured, but he was still slightly pouting and looked leisurely and contented.
Considering Li Yun's strength and status, the reason for his injury was probably because he was too eager for quick success and did not perform well in the mission.
Compared with Li Yun who likes to show off, Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but think of Li Hao.
He likes playing with Li Hao. Besides the fact that they have similar backgrounds, he truly likes the energy in Li Hao from the bottom of his heart.
How to describe it? To sum it up with some strange words that Li Hao once used, it’s “high-end”.
Always remain calm and relaxed, as if everything is just a passing cloud.
In Li Hao's words, if we encounter a mountain that is difficult to climb... then we just go around it.
If he could only be lazy, it wouldn't be considered a skill, but this time in Cangyu City, Li Hao defended the city alone and killed the big monster, making great contributions, but he remained low-key and did not make a fuss, as if he had just done a small thing.
This alone makes him far superior to Li Yun and others.
Even the two princes who pretended to be calm were not as impressive as Brother Hao in Li Yuanzhao's opinion.
Moreover, although it was clearly a fifteen-mile territory, Li Hao never boasted about it. If he had spread the word like Li Yun did, the whole world would have known about it long ago.
Everyone seeks fame, but Li Hao says that fame and fortune are a burden.
When Li Yuanzhao heard this for the first time, he felt as if he was being enlightened. Although he didn't understand it, he just felt that... it was so awesome.
It is for this reason that Li Yuanzhao likes to be with Li Hao. For no other reason, he simply loves studying.
"Teacher, where is Li Hao?"
At this time, Li Yun noticed that Li Hao was nowhere to be seen beside Li Yuanzhao. He couldn't help but frown and felt a pang in his heart. Did something happen to him?
"Li Hao..."
Su Yehua looked at the empty seat next to Li Yuanzhao, a complex expression flashed across her eyes, and she said, "He was selected as an exception and entered the Black and White Palace."
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire A Hospital was in an uproar.
The noise suddenly became like that of a vegetable market, with people chattering and vying to ask why? On what basis? Jiang Ye, who was in the crowd, suddenly collapsed with a smile on his face.
Even though he was a prince, no exception was made for him. How could a mere son of the Li family be made an exception?
His face darkened, but when he thought of Mr. Miyauchi's earnest teachings, his expression calmed down again. However, he was extremely angry in his heart, and a hint of gloom could be seen in his eyes.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Teacher." Jiang Ye spoke, and the other noisy voices suddenly seemed to become much quieter: "Why was he selected as an exception?"
Jiang Ye stared at Su Ye's painting.
Su Yehua saw through the prince's inner anger at a glance. She thought to herself, if you can also reach the Fifteen Miles Realm, no, even if it's the Divine Wandering Realm, you can be selected as an exception.
Her face was calm, and she smiled as she said, "Li Hao's cultivation is higher than yours, and he has made special contributions in the mission in Cangyu City. Therefore, in order to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, he was allowed to enter the Black and White Palace in advance. If he stayed here, we would not be able to teach him, and he would have occupied a place on your martial arts list for nothing."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock and confusion.
Li Hao's cultivation was higher than theirs? Could it be that the other party had already inherited his soul?
But...what about the special merit?
Li Yun and Li Zhining also had questions on their faces and looked a little confused. They both looked at Li Yuanzhao.
They both went to Cangyu City, so what about Li Yuanzhao? Why didn't he achieve any merit?
Seeing the looks from Li Yun and his sister, Li Yuanzhao just smiled slightly, feeling secretly happy. Do you want to know? I just won’t tell you.
Anyway, Brother Hao told him not to make it public. He asked the reason, and Brother Hao just said that he wanted to enjoy his leisure time a little longer.
However, the incident in Cangyu City is too big to be kept secret for long.
Li Yuanzhao was looking forward to it. He wondered what expressions the brother and sister would have when they and other people knew about Brother Hao's cultivation level.
After Uncle Jiu, their Li family will surely become famous throughout the world again!
Thinking of that scene, he wished that time would pass quickly so that the news of Cangyu City could spread quickly.
…
…
At the same time, in the Tan Palace of the Black and White Palace.
Palace Master Song Yufeng sat there. The white steam on the tea in front of him had gone and the tea had gone cold, but he was so absorbed in looking at it that he forgot to taste it.
Next to them, Shen Yunqing, Zhao Zongyuan, Huang Licai and many other elders of the Tan Palace were all here. Only a few elders who had something to do did not come.
Song Yueyao also sat in the chair at the end, and like everyone else, she looked at the young man in front of her.
Li Hao felt helpless as the people around him looked at him as if he were a monkey. More than ten minutes had passed and no one said a word. With this amount of time, he could have painted two pictures.
"I am very happy that you let me enter the Black and White Palace directly."
"But I don't really like the way we waste time."
Li Hao cleared his throat and spoke modestly and innocently.
Song Yufeng and the others' monkey-watching gazes finally subsided.
More than a decade ago, the death of Li Jiajiulang shocked the world. The three immortals at the age of 19 were unheard of.
It is a pity that they were unable to see his face in person.
Now seeing this 14-year-old at the 15-li realm, they couldn't help but want to observe him carefully. Could it be that he really has three heads and six arms? He is also a human, so how did this guy cultivate? Song Yufeng looked at him for a long time, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. He secretly used his aura to test Li Hao's cultivation, but found that he couldn't see through it.
With my own realm, it is difficult to detect. This kid must have practiced some technique to conceal his aura, and has practiced it to an extremely high level.
You know, this kind of martial arts often has very little effect on improving direct combat effectiveness, and Li Hao is only fourteen years old, but he still has to spend time practicing this useless thing, and at the same time he has practiced his cultivation to the fifteen-mile realm. This talent is probably a bit outrageous.
Your Majesty gave the name at the beginning... Your Majesty has a good vision!
Song Yufeng said to himself, secretly feeling a little more awe for the majestic figure on the dragon throne.
"You are already at the Fifteen Li Realm. With such talent, it would be enough for you to become a disciple of the Qian Dao Palace."
Song Yufeng said to Li Hao with a little curiosity: "I want to ask, why did you choose to come to our Tan Palace Academy?"
Others also looked at Li Hao curiously. Was it for that unique skill? Or something else?
Song Yueyao couldn't help but stare slightly, waiting for Li Hao's answer.
"The reason..."
Li Hao thought about what happened that day and recalled: "Maybe it was that morning, I just wanted to eat a piece of Mianyu Xiangsu."
Everyone: “”
What? They had thought of various answers, but they had never thought of this one.
What the hell is Cotton Jade Crispy?
A crispy snack? There are many reasons why people want to study in the Tan Palace Academy, some want to learn martial arts and take revenge, some want to become famous, some want to inherit the family business, some want to gild their reputation... but no one has ever heard of it being for a deep-fried crispy snack.
The hall was stunned and silent. After a moment, Song Yufeng came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "That crispy... must be delicious."
"Um."
Li Hao's expression became serious and enthusiastic: "If you have a chance, you must try it. Remember to find the sign, it's Lao Liu's in Qinglian Lane."
Seeing Li Hao's serious recommendation, everyone was speechless.
The crispy and delicious food from Qinglian Lane... Song Yueyao murmured in her heart and memorized it unconsciously.
"Isn't it for our Tan Palace's unique martial arts, the Tai Chi Qiankun Sword Technique?" Huang Licai couldn't help but ask.
He felt that what Li Hao said was too misleading. What about the fried dough sticks? That was nonsense.
