Chapter 160: Chapter 117 There is No More Li Hao in the World (Guaranteed Combined Chapter of Two)_3

Li Muxiu said angrily, “Fine, fine, fine, now you blame me too!”

Li Hao shook his head and replied, “Second uncle, don’t say anymore, there’s no need to continue, I’m leaving. Everyone, farewell.”

As he spoke, he walked straight ahead.

Li Tian Gang’s face changed slightly, rage flashed in his eyes, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body.

But Li Hao acted as if he didn’t see it and just stepped past him.

Li Tian Gang raised his hand, but as he looked at the boy’s calm and indifferent face, his heart inexplicably ached and he gritted his teeth, “You will regret this!”

Li Hao didn’t speak, but the corners of his mouth quirked slightly.

Regret?

He would never, even in death!

“Hao Er!”

Li Muxiu’s eyes were filled with intense anger and disappointment. He glanced at Li Tian Gang and then hurried after Li Hao, blocking his path.

“Hao Er, don’t be impulsive, your second uncle I…”

“Second uncle, please let me go.” Li Hao looked up and simply spoke calmly.

As Li Muxiu looked into the boy’s eyes, his heart fluttered. He had words on the tip of his tongue but suddenly couldn’t bring himself to say them.

Li Hao had already stepped past him.

…

…

Outside the Divine General Mansion.

Besides the onlookers from Qingzhou City who had recently come to gaze from close by, the street outside the mansion was now crowded with an impressive array of figures, all exuding extraordinary auras.

They wore different styles of clothing, apparently from various states.

But in truth, they all shared one identity, that of disciples from the White Hall of Tan Palace Academy.

Those who could enter the top tier White Hall of the premier academy in the nineteen states, although their talents were not as exceptional as those of direct disciples from the top noble families, they were still dragons and phoenixes among people, the finest of their generation.

At this moment, they were not in their academy uniforms but were dressed in their original attire.

“We request to see young master Li Hao!”

“Having heard of young master Li Hao’s exceptional talent, we have come to visit!”

“Please allow us to enter the mansion to meet him!”

The crowd outside the mansion kept speaking loudly.

The father-and-son battle at the Divine General Mansion had shaken the whole city, and they were naturally aware of it.

These past few days, with various rumors swirling, they heard that Li Hao was inside the mansion these days, being strictly disciplined by his father, and they all rushed over to plead on his behalf.

Saying that they were visiting was actually a euphemism for coming over to offer comfort and plead for him.

The gathering of so many talents outside the mansion attracted a large crowd of onlookers on the roadside. The clamor of discussions also alerted everyone in the various courtyards of the mansion.

Sitting in the Green Lotus Courtyard, Chen Hefang got the news and walked out, leaning on her cane with the support of the housekeeper.

When the old madam took action, the other madams in the mansion also hurried over upon hearing the news to see what was happening.

As a result, both inside and outside the mansion were crowded with people.

“That’s the young master from the Yu Family of Qi State.”

“That’s the daughter of the Zhao Family from Youzhou!

“The Bai Family from Qingzhou is also here.”

“Isn’t that General Zhou’s son?”

Some people in the crowd recognized the identities of these prodigies, while the knowledgeable madams from inside the mansion could also discern their identities from their attire, the decorations on their sleeves, and the carved jade pendants at their waists.

The families behind these prodigies might not be as illustrious as the Divine General Mansion, but most were also well-known and prominent families in the various states.

Now, they had all actually come to seek Li Hao.

Previously, at Li Hao’s competition for a True Dragon, not even this many people had shown up.

“These guys, they couldn’t have heard some rumors and come to plead for Hao Er, could they?” Gao Qingqing speculated doubtfully.

Liu Yue Rong’s eyes darkened. In the past two days, Li Tian Gang had already submitted her review process, and she heard that to avoid a conflict of interests, the matter was specifically handed over to a vice minister from the Ministry of Punishment to personally lead an investigation and was on his way here.

The journey should have been completed by now, but out of deference to her status as a noble consort, the vice minister had not rushed on the road.

After all, it concerned the matters of the Divine General Mansion, a hot potato. The vice minister probably has already received numerous letters from the Liu Family’s literati and was at his wit’s end.

“Hao Er has actually made so many good friends, why didn’t they come over before?”

“Could it be they didn’t know each other before?”

Everyone was marveling, but the likelihood of that was extremely low. After all, Li Hao’s talent had already shone through, making him well-known in Qingzhou. If they wanted to curry favor, they should have done so during the heat of the True Dragon banquet, not now, after a fight between father and son when Li Hao’s reputation had suffered.

Facing a great deal of criticism.

After all, a fight between son and father goes against the traditional values of respect and filial piety in both ancient and modern times.

But these people had chosen to come at this very moment.

Chen Hefang, leaning on her cane, remained silent, but her eyes revealed a touch of sorrow. She realized that most of these young elites were probably the boy’s true friends.

Compared to those connections formed out of interest, this genuine feeling was truly precious!

Just then, suddenly, two figures descended from the sky and landed directly at the entrance of the mansion.

As they looked at the grand and imposing Divine General Mansion, both Song Yufeng and Song Qiumo slightly narrowed their eyes.

Then, they saw the gathered disciples from Tan Palace Academy, and Song Qiumo glanced at Song Yufeng beside her.

Song Yufeng gave a wry smile and said, “These guys really know how to cause me trouble, but fortunately they did not wear our Tan Palace’s uniforms, which shows they have some sense.”

At this moment, all these talents were dressed in their personal clothes, some even deliberately displaying jade pendants that symbolized their family identities. This gesture reassured and amused him.

Song Qiumo gave him a slight glare and then fixed her gaze on the mansion. A blue gleam flashed in her eyes; within her sight, she could see the Divine General Mansion’s high walls covered with the shining Divine Radiance Talisman Patterns.

There were several types of these patterns, and one of them was targeted against Demons.

If she carelessly stepped foot on it, she would immediately trigger these talisman patterns and activate the Divine General Mansion’s Array!

“Madam He Fang, it’s been many years since we last met,” Song Yufeng said with a smile as he saw the old lady inside the mansion and greeted her.
