Her body brimmed with immortal energy as she gazed at the figure descending before her with blinding speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met: one pair slightly reddened with emotion, brimming with excitement; the other, utterly cold, brows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying Xiaoxiao…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao stared at the woman before him—her face was too similar, or rather, identical, down to the blue-green robe, as if time had reversed and she had never left, never changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, a surprised voice spoke—a girl slightly younger than Su Muqing by two years, her eyes calm yet tender, now filled with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her features bore only a faint resemblance to Su Muqing’s, yet she was still a stunning beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao snapped back to himself, seeing her cold, rejecting gaze—he understood now what Ying Xiaoxiao meant by “unawakened.” Just as when he first met Ying Xiaoxiao, her primordial spirit had no memory of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes grew complex, suppressing his thoughts, and he said, “I’m Hao Tian. May I ask your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting someone familiar, yet hearing no name—it was a strange feeling indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muqing heard this ordinary greeting, her gaze turning colder still. She scanned the path of immortal energy he had used to arrive—originating from the small villa. That meant he was merely an ordinary outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She coldly said, “If you’re a guest, stay quietly in your courtyard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she swept her sleeve aside and turned to walk past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao had waited too long to see her—he couldn’t let her leave so easily. “Please tell me your name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muqing’s face turned glacial. This man approached her pretending ignorance of her identity, then now clung persistently—such crude tactics were among the lowest forms used by her countless suitors. She spoke frostily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How bold! Someone, expel him from the Su family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl beside her opened her mouth to speak, then hesitated, glancing at Li Hao before biting her tongue. She merely shook her head at him, as if expressing quiet regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao stared at her icy face, momentarily stunned—until the howling sound in the void arrived and a bodyguard of Immortal Lord Ninth Realm appeared before him. Only then did he snap back, fixing his gaze on the man and saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me your name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did this brat come from, daring to offend Miss Su? Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguard’s eyes flickered over Su Muqing, revealing a trace of admiration. Hearing Li Hao’s words, his face darkened with anger, unleashing the full aura of Immortal Lord Ninth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assessed Li Hao’s cultivation—mere Immortal Lord First Realm. He could crush him with a single hand. This was a rare chance to impress Miss Su, perhaps leave even a fleeting impression in those beautiful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this pressure, Li Hao did not retreat. His own immortal energy surged in defiance—the Dao Source Immortal Seal spun within him, unseen, yet the perfect, unified aura of the Dao allowed him to stand firm against the guard’s pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao’s aura, Su Muqing, the girl beside her, and the bodyguard all showed surprise—how could a mere Immortal Lord First Realm wield such power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible—this aura rivals at least Immortal Lord Fourth Realm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s eyes widened. Without doubt, this boy was a human prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet such a prodigy, capable of overcoming higher realms even at Immortal Lord stage, resorted to such a crude tactic—it filled her with quiet regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muqing’s eyebrows lifted slightly, her coldness easing a fraction. At that moment, a figure rushed over—it was the steward of Haiyue Hall. Seeing Li Hao blocking the path of Su Muqing and Su Wanqing, he had turned pale with alarm. Now he hurried forward, grabbing Li Hao’s arm and hastily apologizing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My ladies, he’s a new outsider, ignorant of propriety. Please don’t hold it against him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muqing glanced at Li Hao, seeing his eyes locked on her with an odd, complex emotion. A ripple stirred in her heart—something strange—but she didn’t dwell on it. She waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned to the girl beside her. “Wanqing, come, let’s go see Qiyu’s group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her figure blurred—she instantly teleported past Li Hao and vanished into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanqing glanced at Li Hao, then followed. In an instant, both girls were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao moved to chase after them, but the bodyguard’s aura flared sharply, blocking his path, his face grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Su spared you. Don’t push your luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao halted, staring at the retreating backs, his expression complex. He knew he’d lost control—he shouldn’t have acted so impulsively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the steward beside him. “Are they Su family daughters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You truly don’t know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward stared, stunned—on the Gusu Emperor Star, there were people who didn’t know Miss Su?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguard also raised an eyebrow. Now that Miss Su was gone, there was no need for this act before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As men, they understood flirting tactics well enough—though he sneered inwardly. This one was pathetically crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao shake his head, the steward, whether he believed him or not, lowered his voice: “The one who pardoned you is Miss Su Muqing—our Su family’s current True Phoenix, a peerless genius. On the Gusu Emperor Star, no one is unaware. Among the younger generation, only the Imperial Prince of the Lin family rivals her, and perhaps no more than three others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The girl beside her is her half-sister, Su Wanqing—one of the Four Little Phoenixes of the Su family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four Little Phoenixes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao thought of the noblewoman—the Su Lady’s four daughters—and his eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hushed whispers he’d overheard outside the mansion now surged back into his mind. His pupils contracted—were those women they spoke of… her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s expression changed. He immediately told the steward: “I need to see Su Lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward blinked in shock. “This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell her I need to see Su Lady!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can only notify Miss Yaoqin. Whether Su Lady will see you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward sighed. Had he not been assigned to Li Hao’s quarters, he wouldn’t have shown up at all—but if Li Hao caused trouble, the blame would fall on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguard snorted in mockery and turned away without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Haiyue Hall, the steward delivered Li Hao’s message to Yaoqin. Li Hao waited, restless as if sitting on needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the inner courtyard of the Su family, Zhurong Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here stood a training ground—a Grade-Terrace arena reserved only for Su family disciples, guarded by an Immortal King elder who instructed the young members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the arena, many figures gathered, buzzing with excitement. Inside the sealed formation, two figures clashed fiercely, the crowd erupting in cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the duel ended in a draw—neither could claim victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To continue would mean revealing their ultimate techniques—this would become a fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fang Xiu is incredible. No wonder he’s from the main branch—Immortal Lord Second Realm, yet he held his own against Yun Shan at Third Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. The main branch cultivates different arts. Unless you earn great merit, you can’t even access them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now it’s a draw—who will Qiyu choose as his personal guard?” Outside, whispers spread, eyes constantly flicking toward a young man standing beside the Immortal King elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth was tall, clad in moon-white robes, his gaze calm yet gentle, radiating scholarly grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiyu is nearly at Immortal Lord peak. If you become his personal guard, you’ll surely gain access to higher Immortal arts and body techniques.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many eyes burned with envy. Though all were Su family disciples, status differed. To follow the main branch—even as a personal attendant—was a rare opportunity, not shameful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their mothers served as servants to the main lady—there was a vast gap in rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiyu, what do you think of Yun Shan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal King elder smiled, turning to the young man beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Su family’s rising star among the younger generation—older than the Four Little Phoenixes, higher in cultivation—but his talent was slightly inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This generation of the Su family was strange—its prodigies were all women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the youth could answer, two streaks of light shot down from the sky—blue-and-silver robes fluttering, surrounded by the illusion of falling osmanthus blossoms—the natural phenomenon of a maiden’s Dao perfected, influencing the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murmurs inside the arena vanished instantly. All eyes turned toward them. When they recognized the two figures, silence fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments passed before a wave of gasps and excited chatter erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Miss Su Muqing! She’s here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Su Wanqing—sisters, both breathtaking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are they here? Are they here to test our cultivation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Su disciples grew excited—these two were among the Four Little Phoenixes, peerless among their peers. Rarely seen, they were celebrities across the Gusu Emperor Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Muqing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qiyu’s eyes brightened upon seeing his two sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal King elder smiled warmly. “What brings you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls bowed to the elder in greeting, then Su Muqing said directly: “Qiyu, I’ve come to invite you to the Sword Pool’s Osmanthus Plucking in six years. Will you go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sword Pool’s Osmanthus Plucking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qiyu’s eyes flickered, a smile forming. “If I haven’t reached Immortal King by then, I’ll gladly go and see how other families fare. But if I break through to Immortal King, I cannot participate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Immortal King joining would be unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muqing understood perfectly. She nodded. “Of course. So… you accept?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my little sister asks, how could I refuse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qiyu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Muqing’s icy demeanor softened considerably. She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yaoqin arrived at Haiyue Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao, Yaoqin frowned. “I just heard—you nearly offended Miss Su. Is that true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao hadn’t expected the Su family’s intelligence network to move so fast—a minor incident, and they already knew. No wonder she served that noblewoman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to see Su Lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaoqin frowned. “Su Lady is occupied. You can’t just demand to see her. Wait for summons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to see her now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao thought of the whispers outside the mansion—his tone grew urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaoqin’s expression darkened. No one in the small villa dared speak to her like this. But this boy was special—she remembered the noblewoman’s instructions. She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and spoke coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will report it. Until then, wait here quietly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he turned away without giving Li Hao a chance to speak and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the deep Su family mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A towering figure appeared silently, as if stepping forth from space and time, disturbing no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he reached the main hall, he saw a noble lady seated there waiting—her attire, woven with shimmering golden threads like lapis lazuli, exuded supreme elegance, complementing her breathtaking beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, have you been waiting here all along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhenyuan, head of the Su family, his deep gaze instantly softened as he asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Su looked at her husband, sensing the disturbance in his restrained aura; her expression changed slightly as she rose and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did it go? Did you fail?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhenyuan’s eyes revealed a trace of helplessness and pain; he sighed and shook his head. \"I was too eager.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Su gazed at the few strands of white hair at his temples, her eyes filled with tenderness as she said gently: \"It’s fine. Don’t always take everything upon yourself—there’s still your fourth and fifth brothers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhenyuan shook his head at this. \"The eldest brother is gone. As the second son, I have taken his place, and as clan head, how can I retreat behind them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his stubbornness once again, Lady Su knew she could not change him on this matter, so she shifted the topic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve returned just in time. There’s something I need your advice on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his wife’s words, Su Zhenyuan’s gaze sharpened. \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her husband so serious, Lady Su knew he was worrying about those matters again; she shook her head. \"It’s about a junior. A young man has come to our door with our ancestor’s marriage contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled out the ancient scroll from her hand and handed it to her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the scroll unfurled, golden threads shot forth like ten thousand divine rays, and characters imbued with the essence of the Dao appeared one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhenyuan swiftly scanned it, his eyes filled with surprise. \"When I inherited the clan position, Father once mentioned this—our ancestor once arranged a marriage, and at some future day, someone might come to our Su family to propose. I never thought it would actually happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of joy and smile appeared in his eyes. \"This is good news! Just as Muqing is about to marry—this is double fortune!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Su shot him a disapproving glance at these words. On the battlefield, commanding troops and slaying demons, her husband was a master strategist—yet when it came to matters of love and marriage, he was as clueless as a clumsy oaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really going to agree? We have four daughters, each with talent unmatched in ten thousand years. Are you truly willing to let them go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Su said, exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhenyuan chuckled. \"Daughters grow up and leave home—they can’t be tied to the house forever. Besides, the marriage arranged by our ancestor was with an Emperor-level being. Even if the suitor isn’t of imperial blood, he must at least be a direct disciple. Such a paragon is a fitting end for any daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2292,"2026-06-20T02:15:44.384Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e43fefe682d5e716fad81b2b369ae323a71d17606f83f0ebab8619e7f367e0b9","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-820","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-818",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
