Chapter 818: My Name is General Hao Tian

Li Hao perceived the intent of this question and was silent for a moment, saying in a low voice: "It was bestowed by Senior."

"Which Senior?"

The noblewoman asked again, this sentence having a bit of an aggressive flavor.

Li Hao felt the suddenly biting atmosphere in the palace, feeling his pores tighten slightly. The pressure emanating in the air was far beyond what the Immortal Monarch Realm could bear.

But he had just traveled here from the Southern Territory, and he had even endured the gaze of that Supreme incarnation; how could he be trembling with fear here?

"Junior cannot say."

Li Hao bowed slightly, still maintaining etiquette and rules.

The noblewoman didn't expect that this youth, who was only a bit good-looking and otherwise ordinary, would have such determination. A flash of strangeness flickered in her eyes. Her noble figure walked slowly into the hall, arriving at the main seat. Beside her, a maid handed over immortal tea, smoke curling, forming a white dragon of mist on the teacup, with dragon blood energy condensing.

Drinking this tea could improve one's physique, the immortal body containing dragon energy, strengthening the body, and one cup was worth several years of bitter cultivation for an ordinary True Immortal.

The noblewoman didn't even look at it, just quietly observing the youth. She sat on the main seat, naturally having the intention of looking down from above.

"What is your relationship with that Senior?"

She asked softly.

Li Hao saw the other party was still probing, his brows furrowing slightly. He knew there seemed to be a misunderstanding here; the object he presented was actually a marriage contract.

No wonder the Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul said that holding this object to the Su Clan would get what he wanted.

If it were a marriage, he could naturally enter and exit the Su Clan freely, and could easily see Ying Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnation body.

It was just that, selling himself into the mansion for this was not his original intention; he just wanted to accompany that woman.

"May I ask how to address the Madam?"

Li Hao didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Audacious!"

The personal maid beside her suddenly narrowed her eyes, as if shooting out two cold stars, glaring coldly.

The noblewoman's brows furrowed slightly, but seeing the youth was simple and didn't know the rules, it was normal. She had no intention of arguing with him about these minor details, saying indifferently:

"I am the Su Clan's Madam, and I manage all the major and minor affairs of the Su Clan, especially this marriage matter in the backyard."

Li Hao had thought the other party was the head of the Su Clan, wondering why it was a woman. At this moment, he was a bit enlightened, bowing his head: "Su Madam, Junior came here just to see one person, and it would be best to be able to accompany her by her side. I hope Su Madam will allow it."

"Who?"

The noblewoman narrowed her eyes, but she already had the answer in her heart, so she couldn't help but hang a cold sneer on the corner of her mouth. This question was also asked with a bit of sharpness and chill.

Unexpectedly, the youth shook his head, saying: "Junior doesn't know her name yet, only that she is in the Su Clan."

"Oh?"

The noblewoman lifted her eyes and brows slightly, looking at the youth's frank and sincere eyes, as well as the sincerity in his eyes. She felt a cold sneer in her heart. She didn't know how much soul longevity he had to dare to play tricks in front of her. The many other concubines in the backyard were much better at flattering than you, and now they were all honestly in their own courtyards, not daring to act presumptuously.

"Since you came with a marriage contract, and this is a marriage contract promised by the ancestor himself, my Su Clan descendants naturally dare not disobey."

The noblewoman's eyes were calm, unable to see joy or anger, saying: "But that marriage contract only says to promise it to a person of peerless talent in the Su Clan's later generations, without specifying which branch or which person. Now my Su Clan has four daughters, all of whom are young leaders on Gusu Emperor Star, and I see you are also handsome. I don't know how your soul longevity is, but I think you are a hero among people to be able to get the marriage contract bestowed by that Senior. I will promise you one of my most beloved daughters, what do you think?"

Li Hao was stunned, his face changing suddenly. He didn't want to get married here.

Moreover, he wasn't stupid. Although Su Madam said this gently, completely different from the coldness when she first entered, how could he not see that the other party was not happy with this marriage?

Since that was the case, neither side was willing, and it was only to comply with that marriage contract. In his view, it was completely unnecessary.

"Su Madam, Junior is just here to find someone, and has no intention of getting married."

Li Hao stood up, bowing again.

The noblewoman felt a cold sneer in the depths of her eyes, but on the surface, she revealed gentleness, saying: "Could it be that you dislike my Su Clan's daughter? If you are unwilling, and that Senior blames us, our Su Clan cannot bear it, and will think we are coercing and suppressing, unwilling to comply with the ancestor's wish. I hope you don't make things difficult for me either."

Li Hao couldn't help but say: "I can explain to that Senior, and will definitely not make things difficult for you."

The noblewoman narrowed her eyes slightly, saying: "You came from afar, you must be tired, right? Miss Yaoqin, take him down to rest."

Saying this, she suddenly thought of something, then said: "What is your name?"

Li Hao also remembered at this moment that he hadn't reported his family name, and the other party had just remembered to ask. He pondered for a moment, saying in a low voice:

"Junior's name is General Hao Tian."

Earlier, the Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul had also said that there were countless humans in the True World. In one immortal city there were hundreds of millions, and in one immortal dynasty there were thousands of immortal cities. It was not strange to have millions of people with the same name, so there was no need to hide it.

Moreover, this was the Northern Region, his aura had been cut off, and his appearance had also changed slightly under the Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul's power, but it was not obvious. It looked the same as before, but more like the him in the human world, with less sharpness and more calmness, and many auras were restrained.

"General Hao Tian..."

The noblewoman nodded slightly, then ordered the maid beside her to send the youth away.

"Su Madam, Junior wants to..."

Li Hao didn't want to delay time, wanting to see Ying Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnation body urgently. However, the maid in the blue-green dress beside Su Madam walked over with a cold face, saying:

"Mr. General Hao Tian, please."

Li Hao looked at that Su Madam, but the other party was smiling, not answering.

"Junior is really not here for the marriage contract."

Li Hao took a deep breath, saying seriously again.

Su Madam smiled and said: "You are tired, go down and rest first, otherwise people will say my Su Clan has no way of treating guests."

"Please."

The maid reached out, but her tone was as if ordering.

Li Hao's face changed slightly, but in the end, he endured it. Before seeing Ying Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnation body, he didn't want to have a conflict with this Su Clan.

When Li Hao was taken away by Miss Yaoqin, Paper Kite, another maid beside the cold-faced Madam, asked carefully:

"Madam, that youth is pretending to be confused and advancing by retreating. Do you really want to agree to this marriage? This marriage contract is from who knows where he picked it up. If you really agree, wouldn't it let him climb the social ladder?"

Su Madam's eyes swept toward the palace threshold the youth had just crossed, saying coldly: "What do you know? This object is a Great Dao spiritual treasure, how could it be abandoned? There is also an Emperor Monarch's aura on it, the other party is mostly a descendant of that Emperor Monarch, or someone they value..." Saying this, she suddenly thought of something she had forgotten. She hadn't used the Jingwei Hall's Soul Longevity Mirror to reflect the youth's soul longevity just now.

However, she quickly felt relieved. With Immortal Monarch Realm cultivation, being able to come with a marriage contract, he was inevitably a human prodigy. She didn't think her words to the youth were all polite.

It was just that, there were so many human prodigies, and wanting to marry her daughter, it was a bit overestimating his own capabilities.

Moreover, truly discussing talent, was there anyone in the human race who could compare to that one in the Lin Clan?

"Wait for the Clan Head to return to discuss. Even if I marry, I won't marry Su Muqing to him. Although the marriage contract requires marrying the Su Clan's top prodigy bloodline, if Su Muqing is already engaged, we can't force a breakup, right?"

Su Madam's eyes flickered slightly. That marriage contract was drafted roughly, with many loopholes to drill through. When the ancestor and that Emperor Monarch were both supreme, it was just a small matter mentioned casually, so naturally they didn't think too much. But now she was the Su Clan's Madam, so many things naturally couldn't be considered without thinking.

This concerned the Su Clan's future lifeline, and the pattern of the entire Gusu Emperor Star, with a huge influence. How could it be decided by a casual remark back then?

The cause back then, the fruit today—even an Emperor Monarch couldn't peer into the changes of the future after endless years, right?

"Arrange him in the small courtyard first, don't disturb the other children in the backyard, lest he sees the prosperity and becomes even more greedy..."

Su Madam's voice was light, ordering it down.

Paper Kite bowed and responded, immediately using a hand card to transmit sound to Miss Yaoqin who had taken the youth away.

Small courtyard.

Miss Yaoqin received the sound transmission, and her heart immediately understood. Following the Madam for ten thousand years, she was clever and exquisite, so how could she not know the Madam's intention?

She immediately turned her figure on the long rainbow, changing direction, and said to the youth behind her: "Please this way."

Saying please, but the tone was cold, without the slightest politeness.

Li Hao saw this maid had a prejudice against him, but didn't care, just furrowed his brows, feeling a bit of helplessness and anxiety in his heart. He had thought that presenting that object would allow him to see Ying Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnation body, but didn't expect there to be twists and turns.

He scanned around, looking around in the courtyards along the way, seeing immortal gardens planted with divine trees and spiritual seeds, and the maids and servants walking around all had extraordinary auras, all in the True Immortal Realm, among which there were Immortal Monarch Realm leaders in various places.

"Sir, it is improper to look."

Miss Yaoqin sensed the youth behind her looking around, and a trace of contempt surfaced in the bottom of her eyes. The marriage contract hadn't been completed yet, and he wanted to plunge into the extreme prosperity of the world—truly dreaming.

But the Madam hadn't clearly refused, sweeping the youth out of the mansion, so she didn't give the other party a clear look. Soon, she led Li Hao to a relatively quiet area on the west side of the Sufu. Here was a large garden and palace, which looked much simpler than the places Li Hao had passed, but they were all luxurious existences comparable to an imperial palace.

This was the small courtyard, where the visitors to the Su Clan were mixed, so the reception area naturally had differences. The small courtyard was for entertaining ordinary clans.

"This is the Haiyue Hall. You stay here for the time being. If there is anything, the Madam will summon you."

Miss Yaoqin brought Li Hao to a palace courtyard, turned around, and said to Li Hao.

Following that, she glanced slightly, and the servants and maids in the courtyard gathered quickly, hurriedly bowing, asking about Miss Yaoqin's well-being one by one.

As a personal maid beside Su Madam, her status in the Sufu was extremely high, and the leaders of each courtyard also flattered and curried favor.

"Summon?"

Li Hao's brows furrowed even deeper. Wasn't this equivalent to house arrest?

"Can I look around usually?"

Li Hao asked.

Miss Yaoqin had long expected Li Hao to ask this, saying without thinking: "In this small courtyard, you can visit everywhere, but elsewhere, there are female family members, so it is better not to offend."

These words could also be considered reasonable.

Li Hao was silent for a moment. Things had come to this, many things were not up to him. It was like this in the Southern Region earlier, and now in the Su Clan, it seemed to be like this too.

Seeing Li Hao didn't make a sound, Miss Yaoqin's corners of her mouth curled up. Seeing this youth suffer, she felt a trace of pleasure for no reason. She had always despised such people who climbed the social ladder, especially thinking of the Su Clan's several stunningly beautiful young ladies, one of whom would be chosen by the Madam to marry this person, making her feel it was not worth it, as if a bright pearl was covered in dust, and an immortal treasure was broken.

"You all serve the honored guest well. If anything happens, you will be held responsible."

Miss Yaoqin said to the steward in the courtyard.

That middle-aged steward was in the Immortal Monarch Realm, but at this moment, he had a flattering look, nodding repeatedly in response.

After Miss Yaoqin left, the steward and several maids immediately welcomed him, asking whether Li Hao wanted to rest or wanted to walk around the courtyard, and offered to introduce it to Li Hao.

Li Hao was in no mood, but didn't intend to wait quietly here either. He let the steward take him to walk around the small courtyard, seeing if he could bump into Ying Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnation body by luck.

The steward agreed, immediately accompanying Li Hao to stroll around the entire small courtyard.

The area of this small courtyard was extremely vast, larger than the Imperial City. In other courtyards and palaces, there were barriers to block divine sense peering.

Li Hao walked a circle, many courtyards couldn't be entered, and people lived there. Besides reading the beauty of this Su Clan along the way and witnessing its prosperity, he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

He sighed, preparing to return to Haiyue Hall to wait quietly.

Since that Su Madam received him and didn't drive him out directly, Li Hao felt that the other party shouldn't let him wait too long, and there would always be a result.

Just as he was about to return, suddenly, a roaring sound rang out in the distant long sky, accompanied by sword ringing trembling, as if a dragon was roaring, a huge Dharma Form flashed past, and the impact of the collision spread.

But the impact force shook to the garden wall of the small courtyard, and was blocked by the barrier, dissipating without a trace.

Li Hao stopped and looked over. Although there was some distance, he could feel that it was two Immortal Monarch Realm cultivators fighting fiercely, one of whom used a sword, and the Sword Dao realm was not low, having five levels of origin realm.

In the Su Clan, actually someone dared to fight publicly?

Li Hao was a bit surprised. The steward

Li Hao was stunned, and just as he was about to look away, suddenly, two long rainbows streaked across the distant horizon, their garments fluttering. Among them, one person, dressed in cyan-blue robes like a cool shade of deep summer, caught his eye.

Li Hao froze instantly, his pupils dilating slightly. The long rainbow magnified dozens of times before his eyes, and soon, the face of the figure in the cyan-blue dress appeared in his vision.

Li Hao felt a jolt in his heart; that face, those lively eyes, and the exquisite, flawless features were none other than Ying Ying Xiaoxiao!

It was her. Was she really here?

A reincarnation?

Li Hao felt his brain buzzing and vibrating slightly, and his blood felt as if it were suddenly boiling.

Whoosh!

His figure shot up from the ground with a roar, shattering the air. The power of the Extreme Realm was revealed, and the Void Return Teleportation and movement technique were released unconsciously, crossing to the front of the long rainbow in one step and arriving before the woman.
