Chapter 23

Liu Hao is a descendant of a high-ranking noble, and he can be considered majestic in the Imperial Capital on weekdays.

When peers see him, they have to call him 'Brother Hao'.

If anyone is unconvinced, he will beat them until they are convinced.

Having strong strength and background, bullying others with power is a common occurrence for him.

The elders of some noble families are also very polite in front of him; this is the sense of superiority of noble disciples.

But recently, his sense of superiority was trampled to death, just because the goddess he had pursued for many years without success had been summoned into the Imperial Palace.

Liu Hao knew without thinking what it would develop into later.

He can also be considered to have tasted the feeling of being bullied and helpless once.

In the past, his opponents were Xiao Ming, whose strength was unfathomable, and Wu Qi, whose background was mysterious and powerful.

Liu Hao considered himself not inferior to these two, so he had fought with them until now.

But what was the result? A rival with dimensionality reduction strike came, making him very uncomfortable.

No, it seems I am not qualified to be an opponent of the new Emperor yet.

Liu Hao is not open-minded; he has no choice and has to be open-minded.

If you can't be open-minded, what else can you do? Fight with the Emperor for a woman?

As long as he has this thought, he believes his father will solve him at the first time.

The Liu family has been stable in the Imperial Capital for hundreds of years because they hugged the thigh of the royal family.

If he has a conflict with the Emperor, the entire Liu family will be wiped out in a day.

After a day of relief, Liu Hao came to the luxurious commercial street of the Imperial Capital to buy something to comfort himself.

As a result, he saw the scene of his goddess shopping with another man.

Especially Chu Ruoyan's shy posture as a little woman, he had never seen it before.

This is the appearance of his ice goddess in front of someone with power and influence!

Liu Hao was very angry at that time and wanted to teach the man beside Chu Ruoyan a lesson.

However, he calmed down faster.

Liu Hao can have this cultivation, so naturally, he is not a fool.

Chu Ruoyan was summoned by His Majesty, and Chu Ruoyan performed very shyly in front of this man, doesn't it prove that this man is the current Emperor.

So when Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan passed by, Liu Hao could only hide in the corner and grieve secretly.

Seeing Li Chen's almost crazy shopping method, Liu Hao already knew the gap between himself and Li Chen.

And the goddess being taken down is just a matter of time.

"So, what are you doing here?"

Liu Hao said to the person beside him.

"Didn't I say that my ancestor entrusted me to buy something in the Imperial Capital? Did you think I was joking?"

Wu Qi shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

He was also buying things here when he saw Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan appear, so he hid.

Who knew he just happened to run into Liu Hao, who was also observing in the dark.

In fact, Wu Qi's heart is as uncomfortable as Liu Hao's now.

Two geniuses of the Imperial Capital, who had fought for so many years, felt sympathy for each other from each other for the first time.

"I estimate I will go back soon. You grew up in the Imperial Capital since you were a child and pursued Ruoyan the longest. Are you willing to watch here?"

Wu Qi subconsciously fanned the flames for Liu Hao, who knew Liu Hao really walked toward Li Chen.

Not brother, you really dare to provoke the Emperor?

On the other side, Li Chen had been shopping for an afternoon and was a bit hungry and preparing to eat something when a young master in gorgeous clothes walked over.

"Coincidence, didn't expect to see you here. Who is this?"

Liu Hao started to greet Chu Ruoyan very naturally and asked about Li Chen's identity.

Chu Ruoyan didn't know what to say for a moment and was even a bit flustered. She was afraid that Liu Hao wouldn't be able to think straight and make trouble in front of Li Chen; if Li Chen was angry, then the trouble would be big.

Because she knew Liu Hao had pursued her for so many years and definitely wouldn't give up so easily.

"My name is Li Chen, a friend of Ruoyan."

Li Chen saw Chu Ruoyan's stuttering appearance and answered for her, just saying his name.

"So it's Brother Li Chen, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I just said Ruoyan is as beautiful as a fairy, how can a mortal be worthy of her? Seeing Brother Li today, it is also shocking as a heavenly person; you two are truly a match made in heaven."

This answer from Liu Hao made Chu Ruoyan confused; isn't he here to make trouble? How did he connect the two of us?

Li Chen likes to hear this; his first impression of this person named Liu Hao is not bad.

Liu Hao took this opportunity to introduce himself, saying he was a noble disciple, the son of the head of the Liu family.

His attitude was simply that of a humble gentleman.

Only after glancing at Chu Ruoyan at the beginning, his gaze had been on Li Chen.

Li Chen just became Emperor and didn't know much about noble disciples; there were many memorials about noble problems recently, so he wanted to take this opportunity to ask Liu Hao.

!

Learning that Li Chen was preparing to go eat, Liu Hao even indicated that he knew a store that was particularly delicious and generously treated them.

To treat this meal, Liu Hao was eloquent, describing a table of delicacies vividly, attracting Li Chen's gluttony; Liu Hao naturally obtained the right to treat.

The address of this meal was quickly settled, which was the famous Zui Xian Lou in the Imperial Capital.

In fact, Liu Hao usually couldn't afford to go to this kind of place; his father occasionally took him there, but who let today be one of the few opportunities for him to curry favor with the Emperor.

Then Liu Hao naturally had to spend a lot of money.

Zui Xian Lou is located in the heart of the Imperial Capital; the exterior is simple and elegant, but the interior has a different world.

The specialty here lies in its unique "Immortal Brew", which is said to be carefully brewed by the master brewer secretly passed down in the building with century-old spiritual springs and rare medicinal herbs, each drop containing heaven and earth spiritual energy, drinking it can refresh the mind, and even be beneficial to cultivation.

Each floor of Zui Xian Lou has different themes, from traditional May Tian Ce Dynasty delicacies to exotic delicacies from all over the world, which is a place that high-ranking officials, nobles, and wealthy families in the Imperial Capital compete to patronize.

After the three of them entered Zui Xian Lou, Wu Qi, who was observing in the dark, slapped himself hard.

"Damn, this guy Liu Hao is going to lick the Emperor! Why didn't I think of playing like this!"

Since the goddess has no hope, then currying favor with her man through the goddess is also a tricky way of thinking.

No wonder Liu Hao's cultivation is so high; this comprehension is not covered.

Wu Qi in the dark began to panic; he felt that he had achieved nothing in the Imperial Capital, and other disciples in the family were waiting to replace him.

But if he curries favor with the Emperor, who would dare to compete with him after returning?

He must not miss this opportunity; once this village is passed, there will be no such shop.

After he waited for Li Chen and the three to enter Zui Xian Lou, he also had a chance encounter.

But Wu Qi was even more ruthless; he directly greeted Liu Hao and took the opportunity to get to know Li Chen, without even looking at Chu Ruoyan.

Just like that, Wu Qi also mixed into this wine party.

In terms of doing things, Liu Hao and Wu Qi have nothing to say.

When Li Chen wanted to go to the private room, Liu Hao stepped forward to open the door and pulled the curtain open so that Li Chen could enter the room directly.

Wu Qi helped Li Chen move the stool to a position he felt comfortable in.

When eating, as long as Li Chen swallowed saliva and felt thirsty, Wu Qi immediately got up to pour wine.

Li Chen's chopsticks were on a certain dish, but there was not much left of this dish, so Liu Hao immediately asked the waiter to add dishes.

Especially when talking to Li Chen, whenever Li Chen asked about some things, Liu Hao and Wu Qi knew everything and said everything.

Having mixed in the Imperial Capital for so many years, the two of them still knew some things.

Even if some viewpoints would offend nobles, they also knew clearly that this was the truth the Emperor wanted to hear.

In the gaps of chatting, the two of them were also very careful and humble, and their words were full of flattery.

It can be said that Chu Ruoyan was like an outsider throughout the whole process and couldn't join the conversation at all.

By the time this meal was about to end, she finally reacted.

Oh no, these two are here to grab a man from me!
