<\/p>\n\n\n\nChapter 15: Chapter 14 The Softest Place<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Translator: 549690339<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c`<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man\u2019s mind was momentarily muddled, unable to discern who the assassin was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But feeling the tremendous force pressing against his throat, he came to his senses and looked at the little boy before him in alarm and fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What kind of monster is this? Barely seven years old, yet possessing such terrifying strength. Even at the tenth level of perfection in the Power Passage Realm, plus the resurgence of the noble lord\u2019s Divine Blood, it shouldn\u2019t be so exaggerated, should it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho sent you to assassinate me?\u201d Li Hao stared intently at the other party and asked, while various pieces of information surfaced in his mind. Playing chess was a means to approach him, indicating that the other party\u2019s purpose in coming to the Divine General Mansion was straightforward\u2014to assassinate him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man was somewhat silent, as the child before him displayed a strength and cognition far beyond that of an ordinary six-year-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had thought he was sent to deal with a useless little thing, only to uncover such terrifying information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not a martial arts waste. Hiding your strength, is this your idea, or your old man\u2019s arrangement?\u201d the lean young man asked, slightly squinting his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that the assassination attempt had failed and he felt the enormous strength at his throat that could crush it at any moment, he knew he had no way out and became calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assassinating the direct bloodline of the Divine General Mansion was a task with very slim chances of survival; it\u2019s just a pity that the mission could not be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you know my father?\u201d Li Hao\u2019s eyes flickered slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re joking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man said coldly, \u201cWho in the world does not know the Martial Marquis Xingwu? Currently, he is stationed at the Frontier Pass, and a few months ago, he gathered martial artists from Jianghu in Northern Yan to assist in suppressing demons, commanding great respect with a single call.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assisting in suppressing demons? Li Hao furrowed his brows; could it be that the situation in Northern Yan had become so difficult that they had to rely on the strength of Jianghu martial artists?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre you sent by my stepmother?\u201d Li Hao asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized, a sneer crossing his eyes, \u201cYou\u2019ve been the target of assassination? Unexpectedly, even within the iron-blooded Divine General Mansion, there\u2019s such decay. No wonder you\u2019re pretending to be useless, but speaking of which, I really haven\u2019t seen you train. How many hours do you practice every day?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve always been training with you\u2026 Li Hao calmly looked him in the eyes and said, \u201cYou answer my question first, and then I\u2019ll answer yours. That\u2019s called an exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man slightly raised his eyebrows and couldn\u2019t help but laugh. This child was indeed interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnyway, it\u2019s a sure death. You\u2019ve made me fail my mission and doomed my family, why should I tell you?\u201d the lean young man scoffed lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao said, \u201cBecause I can see that you don\u2019t want to die, you\u2019re also afraid of dying, and there are many ways to die. I can give you a swift death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man\u2019s smile vanished, he fell silent for a moment, and then slowly said, \u201cThe one who sent me here is\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly, his arm quivered, and he threw a punch at Li Hao\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao slightly tilted his head and easily dodged it, not retaliating but just looking at him with cold eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man felt a chill as his heart sank; the gap was that big? He, a mighty Zhou Tian Realm martial artist, seemed to have switched roles with this child. In front of him, he was like a child, completely seen through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latter\u2019s contempt made him dispiritedly retract his hand: \u201cYou truly are a monster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpill it,\u201d Li Hao said coldly. \u201cYou should know that the Li Family is a martial family with countless captives and convicted criminals subjected to interrogation. The methods used are beyond your imagination, impossible to wish for death. If possible, I can give you a swift end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man\u2019s eyes twitched slightly; of course, he knew the child before him was not lying, and a sense of fear began to grow within him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I tell you, can you let me go?\u201d the lean young man asked with a glimmer of hope, relying on the chance that the child in front of him still had a naive nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can,\u201d Li Hao answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spurt\u2026 the lean young man almost coughed up blood. Could you not be so blunt? It\u2019s so fake it can\u2019t be faked anymore. Do you think I\u2019m a child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He laughed bitterly and said, \u201cActually, telling you doesn\u2019t matter much. The assassination has failed, and my family won\u2019t survive either. I came from Northern Yan, and the one who sent me to kill you is \u2018Monarch Bai\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMonarch Bai?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right, one of the three great Demon Gods of Northern Yan with terrifying strength, and also your father\u2019s old adversary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man\u2019s eyes were complicated: \u201cYour father is a genius with his troops, and the Li Family army is fearless and unstoppably strong; Northern Yan would have fallen long ago. At present, they\u2019ve managed to hold the front, but Monarch Bai sent me to assassinate you. He wants your death to spread out from the Divine General Mansion, to reach the Frontier Pass of Northern Yan, to cause great disarray within your father\u2019s army. If he leaves the battlefield to return, Northern Yan will be conquered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that, he looked intently at Li Hao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one knew that this child was the key that could affect the life and death of tens of cities and hundreds of thousands of people in Northern Yan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao was stunned; so, it was because of Northern Yan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The warfare there had actually reached the Divine General Mansion, so far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour father commands the battles in Northern Yan, they are battle-hardened with no vulnerabilities, unassailable, and you are their only weak point, the softest spot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man continued, \u201cOnly by starting with you can they defeat your parents, make the Frontier Pass of Northern Yan fall, and let the demon army march straight in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao fell silent, digesting the other\u2019s words, and after a while, he slowly said, \u201cYou are of the Human Race, why would you work for the demons?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man was slightly stunned, paused for a moment, then looked gloomily at Li Hao, his eyes filled with jealousy and hatred: \u201cNot everyone is as lucky as you. Even if I explained, you wouldn\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that so?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao looked at him calmly, \u201cSince birth, my parents have been away, and I was betrayed by close relatives. Now, because of my parents, I face assassination; do you still think my life is good?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lean young man\u2019s mouth opened slightly, he was stunned, at a loss for words, and could no longer speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao did not say more, merely stating, \u201cI promised you, I would grant you a swift death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHeh, you\u2019re quite a decent person,\u201d the lean young man recovered, forced a mocking smile, and said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter what is said, in the end, death is inescapable. He had a hint of fear deep in his eyes; he didn\u2019t want to die, he was afraid of dying, or else, why would he end up taking orders from demons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c`<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao spoke as if he didn\u2019t understand the sarcasm, \u201cActually, I don\u2019t want to kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh?\u201d The gaunt young man\u2019s eyes revealed a cold sneer, clearly not believing him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause your chess skills are not bad,\u201d Li Hao said seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gaunt young man was stunned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a while, he came back to his senses, a bitter smile on his face, \u201cBut the pity is, I\u2019ve never won against you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNext life then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao began to exert force with his palm, \u201cIn your next life, don\u2019t practice martial arts, just play chess honestly, at least you\u2019ll live longer and more at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gaunt young man wanted to struggle, but seeing Li Hao\u2019s indifferent and composed eyes left him in despair, he bitterly said, \u201cYou really are a strange child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, Li Hao still pinched him to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As suffocation set in, the gaunt young man struggled violently again, but to no avail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After dealing with the assassin, Li Hao remembered that he still didn\u2019t know the man\u2019s real name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the name of the house servant the man had used to sneak in was one bestowed by the Li family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn\u2019t matter anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the assassin died, Li Hao summoned the house servant, scaring him half to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That night, the entire Divine General Mansion was shaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lights in each courtyard were lit, and the ladies of each courtyard, already in bed, hurried over in their clothes. Upon seeing the corpse of the assassin lying in front of the chess table, they were all incredibly shocked.![\"Pubfuture](\"https:\/\/media.pubfuture.com\/defaultBanner\/2025\/01\/11\/300x250%20GAME%2031736619679.png\")
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How could an assassin infiltrate a place like the Divine General Mansion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He Jianlan\u2019s normally graceful and composed demeanor was gone, and she hugged Li Hao anxiously, touching and looking him over, \u201cAre you all right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAunt, I\u2019m fine,\u201d Li Hao reassured her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After confirming that there were indeed no injuries on Li Hao, He Jianlan, now reassured, questioned him closely, and Li Hao relayed the story he had thought up in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An assassin attacked, and in a critical moment, an old man intervened and killed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afterward, the old man disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao thought to himself that since an assassin could infiltrate the Divine General Mansion, making up a story about an old man should also be no problem, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, if you didn\u2019t even know about the assassin, then not knowing about other powerful experts is quite normal too, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After hearing Li Hao\u2019s story, He Jianlan was visibly shaken, immediately conjuring up some speculations. Could it be a military expert sent secretly by the Divine Martial Marquis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or is it\u2026 that elder from the clan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She suppressed the guesses in her heart and never doubted Li Hao\u2019s words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, no matter how mature Li Hao was, he was still a child under seven years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And having not stepped onto the path of martial arts, if there were no expert secretly protecting him, he would surely have died without question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He Jianlan then asked Xuejian to take Li Hao and the little girl Bian Ruxue to rest at the Eternal Spring Court first, to recover from the shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, she sat in the grand hall of the Mountain and River Courtyard, called over the house servant who had accompanied Li Hao while he played chess, and the first house servant who had been startled awake by Li Hao\u2019s call, questioning them carefully in the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, she summoned the mansion\u2019s experts to examine the corpse of the assassin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t long before the entire course of events was learned from the house servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the assassin entered the mansion, how he revealed his talent in chess, performed in front of the Mountain and River Courtyard\u2019s servants, and ingratiated himself with them, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, the other party had gathered information about Li Hao, deliberately approaching him by playing chess, with everything leaving traces to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later in the night, the examination results of the corpse were also out. The assassin was astonishingly at the Zhou Tian Realm, roughly between the third and fourth levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This level of cultivation, thrown out into the world, would be considered quite decent for a knight-errant, capable of upholding justice in Jianghu and gaining a bit of fame. However, in the Divine General Mansion, where powerful individuals abounded, it would be a very ordinary existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nevertheless, to kill a six-year-old child, this level of cultivation was more than enough, even like using a cleaver to kill a mosquito, excessively overkill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, the assassin had consumed some kind of special pill that sealed his own sense of qi, which is why no one had detected him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing this result, the ladies of the courtyards all felt chills of fear in waves. If the target of the assassin had not been Li Hao but their own children, they would undoubtedly have faced certain death!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sudden rise of a Zhou Tian Realm killer beside a child was terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liu Yue Rong, upon hearing the results of the examination, slowly let go of the slight suspicion and speculation that had crossed her mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if Li Hao\u2019s Divine Blood had not been ruined, it was not possible for him to kill the assassin on his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seemed that the couple, although stationed at the Frontier Pass, had made thorough preparations for their son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Realizing this, she felt secretly apprehensive; the matter of her drugging should have gone unnoticed since it took place in the Shuihua Courtyard, and she also had formidable experts in her own courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chapter 16: Chapter 15 Defeat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Translator: 549690339<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the Northern Yan border, Yuan Yue City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside the city, the skies were filled with distress and dullness, while outside the city, the ground was scarred and pitted. Within a mountain forest a hundred miles away, colossal figures with varying shapes lurked, casting a myriad of demonic shadows, along with some slender figures, who had the appearance of humans, sitting cross-legged on the peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ground here was stained with blood, and skeletons lay around like piles of firewood. The flayed skins hung loosely from branches and stones, like ragged cloths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this moment, a beautiful young woman, holding the arm of a corpse in military armor, was gnawing on one of the fingers. Her lips and cheeks were smeared with bright red blood, but she seemed utterly unconcerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly, a black speck appeared in the sky, racing towards them at high speed. As it drew closer, it was revealed to be a massive three-clawed black bird, over ten meters long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it contracted its body, when it landed, it had transformed into a graceful-looking young man with a black headband, walking briskly towards a group of seated figures, and then approaching a youth draped in white who had a long zither lying across his knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a leisurely strum of his fingers across the strings of the zither, soothing sound waves emerged, though his gaze was set calmly on the distance, looking toward the city that seemed like an unsightly stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There one could faintly discern the ominous clouds amassed above the city and the vague silhouettes atop the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMonarch Bai.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The youth with the black headband greeted with a slight bow, showing respect as he addressed the white-clad youth, \u201cI\u2019ve just received news that the disposable flesh we sent earlier failed and even alerted the Divine General Mansion; now the entire mansion is on high alert. They say there\u2019s a master secretly protecting the child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo fail at such a task? Worthless trash!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standing by, a robust and giant man\u2019s expression darkened, his lips parting slightly to reveal sharp teeth unlike those of a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t you say he had already infiltrated close to that child?\u201d the beautiful woman gnawing on the arm frowned, stopping her chewing to cast a glance at the young man with the headband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHalf a month has passed, and his identity surely has not been revealed. How could he have not found an opportunity to strike in all this time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A young man with yellow eyebrows spoke up with a furrowed brow, \u201cTo prevent any misinformation from the Divine General Mansion, that Marquis Xingwu deliberately concealed the child\u2019s true circumstances. That\u2019s why we sent a flesh of the Zhou Tian Realm for this task. If a sudden punch was delivered from close range, not even someone at the tenth level of the Power Passage Realm could avoid it, let alone if there is a master guarding at his side, they would not have time to react, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young man with the black headband sighed, \u201cWe have no details on what happened, only that the creature turned out to be so useless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHmph, not only did it fail, but it also alerted the Divine General Mansion. If this news reaches Li Tian Gang\u2019s ears, he\u2019ll surely send more people to protect the child. Damn worthless thing!\u201d the burly man grunted angrily once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young man with the headband nodded slightly, \u201cThe next assassination will only be more difficult. Since that flesh has failed, there\u2019s no need to keep its family alive \u2013 let the little ones below have their fill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve already been devoured.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beautiful woman bit off another finger and spoke while chewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young man with the black headband said no more, instead turning his gaze toward the white-clad youth who had stopped playing the zither, his eyes revealing a hint of awe, \u201cMonarch Bai, what should we do next? Shall we launch a direct assault?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The others also looked over, waiting for his command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monarch Bai\u2019s emotions seemed undisturbed as he continued to stare at Yuan Yue City in the distance, speaking softly, \u201cThis Li Family is indeed a tough bone to chew. If we were to launch a direct attack, our losses would be too great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndeed, those scoundrels are unwilling to put in the effort. Damn them,\u201d the sturdy man said discontentedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, do we still go through with the assassination?\u201d the youth with the black headband inquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monarch Bai turned to look at him and said, \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since Li Hao\u2019s attack, the vigilance at the Divine General Mansion had significantly increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He Jianlan deployed powerful individuals from the inner court to guard the front court and had every house servant who had entered the mansion in the past three years carefully screened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a lot of commotion surrounding this matter, but each court cooperated actively. After all, the assassination had been perilously close, and no one wanted the same to happen to their own child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After an investigation by the Li Family\u2019s intelligence network, it was found that the assassination attempt was linked to the demons of Northern Yan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao sought out his aunt to keep the news of the assassination attempt from spreading to Northern Yan, from reaching that couple\u2019s ears, so as to not affect the war on the front lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing Li Hao say this left He Jianlan in a daze, and as she looked at Li Hao\u2019s young face, her heart felt as if it was being tugged at something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The child had barely escaped assassination due to the conflicts in Northern Yan, yet still worried about its impact on the front, truly a thoughtfulness that was heartrending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the commotion caused by the assassination was too significant, and keeping it a secret was impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
News quickly reached the Northern Yan border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marquis Xingwu, who was contemplating the military arrangements in the camp, was enraged, and Ji Qingqing was also uncontrollably furious. They immediately discerned the demons\u2019 intentions of using Li Hao\u2019s death to demoralize the army, compelling them to leave the Northern Yan battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should they abandon the front, this side would undoubtedly be met with a thunderous assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marquis Xingwu couldn\u2019t possibly ignore the battlefield here. In his rage, he immediately sent a trusted aide from his side back to the mansion to guard Li Hao closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mansion reported that the assassination attempt was thwarted by someone covertly protecting Li Hao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Marquis Xingwu knew well that he had not assigned anyone to secretly guard Li Hao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Mountain and River Courtyard guarded and located within the Divine General Mansion, it never crossed his mind that someone would attempt to assassinate a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Li Hao had displayed extraordinary talent in Martial Arts, he would have concerned himself and sent someone to protect him secretly, to prevent the Li Family\u2019s potential prodigy from perishing in the cradle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But for someone without Martial Arts talent, posing no threat, to nearly be harmed in such a manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And all this was due to the damned stalemate before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several days later, at the Northern Yan battlefield, the Li Family\u2019s army struck like lightning, purging a nest of demons overnight. The news spread, and all demons felt the Li Family\u2019s wrath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Days eventually settled down and became calm again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Half a year passed, and Li Hao turned seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The news of the assassination attempt had happened half a year ago, and by now, no one in the household brought it up anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, the powerful protector sent back from the military by the Marquis of Xingwu had been following Li Hao closely for the past six months\u2014a tall and upright middle-aged man who seldom spoke or smiled, acted cautiously and meticulously, and was named Li Fu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was said that Li Fu was an abandoned infant many years ago, taken in by the Li Family. People said that although the child\u2019s fate was tragic, ending up at the door of the Divine General Mansion was also seen as fortunate. That\u2019s why he took the Li surname and was given a single name, Fu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his early years within Mountain and River Courtyard, Li Fu grew up alongside the Marquis of Xingwu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was seven or eight years older than the Marquis of Xingwu. On ordinary days, he looked after the Marquis like an elder brother, but in the army, the two shared a senior-junior relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, Li Fu was also one of the Marquis of Xingwu\u2019s right-hand men, a person he trusted immensely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUncle Fu, you lost again,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside the pavilion, as a game of chess concluded, Li Hao said with a grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu\u2019s stern face revealed a hint of helplessness, \u201cI am of the same generation as your father, you should call me \u2018uncle\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut calling you Fu Uncle sounds like admitting defeat,\u201d Li Hao curled his lips, \u201cWhen I play chess, I only want to win; I don\u2019t like admitting defeat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu found himself speechless, his superiors in the family hierarchy propelled by this silly wordplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can also call me Uncle Li.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut this is the Li Family, there are too many with the Li surname. If I call you Uncle Li, I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll get confused,\u201d Li Hao said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu was once again at a loss for words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you ask me, you shouldn\u2019t have been named Fu; since everyone says you are blessed\u2026 you should be called Li You.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao said earnestly, \u201cLook, the name Li You sounds so nice. You have, you have, it\u2019s as if you have everything, corresponding to perfection!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu felt an urge to knock on the boy\u2019s little head. Unlike the Marquis of Xingwu\u2019s by-the-book nature, this son of his was slick and smooth-talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStop talking nonsense. If your father were here, he would certainly spank you for being disrespectful,\u201d Li Fu scolded with a stern face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut he isn\u2019t here,\u201d Li Hao casually remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu wanted to discipline him a bit to prevent him from becoming increasingly unruly, but this indifferent comment made his heart tremble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the Marquis of Xingwu went on a campaign back then, he had also been by his side and naturally knew that this year Li Hao was seven, and so the lord had been in Northern Yan for seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The situation in Northern Yan made it difficult for Ji Qingqing, who initially accompanied him with the intention of swift victory, to leave. She couldn\u2019t neglect her husband\u2019s danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The child before him had been without his parents\u2019 company for seven years. It must have been hard, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu felt a pang of sympathy and his heart softened, he sighed, \u201cYour father has his difficulties too. Don\u2019t blame him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI never blamed him,\u201d Li Hao said seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu looked into his eyes, his heart warmed slightly, feeling somewhat gratified, \u201cYou\u2019re very sensible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sensible? Li Hao cracked a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just then, a half-grown figure returned to Mountain and River Courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao turned to look and saw Bian Ruxue coming back from practice at the martial arts training ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The little girl had now turned into a young lady, her tender face couldn\u2019t hide her beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy are you back so early today, are you hungry?\u201d Li Hao called out with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon seeing Li Hao, Bian Ruxue walked over with her sword in arms, her expression somewhat sullen, \u201cI\u2019m not hungry,\u201d she muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat, did someone upset you?\u201d Li Hao teased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bian Ruxue clenched her teeth slightly, turned her little face away, and did not speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao had asked casually, but seeing her reaction, he raised his eyebrows slightly, \u201cTell me what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing,\u201d Bian Ruxue got up, hugged her sword and ran off, heading to the place where she usually practiced her swordsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao thought for a moment, then summoned the female attendant who accompanied her in sword practice, and asked, \u201cWhat happened to Xue\u2019er?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo report to the young master, Miss Xue\u2019er was defeated in a swordsmanship contest at the martial arts training ground,\u201d despite Li Fu being present, the attendant still maintained a respectful demeanor, even though she knew that this young master was unfit for martial arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust that little thing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao was relieved and said, \u201cSo what if she lost once? As a martial artist, winning and losing are common in the military profession. She\u2019ll just have to win next time. What, can\u2019t she accept losing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attendant hesitated, then said, lowering her head, \u201cNo, young master, the one who defeated the young lady was rather despicable, running down the young master in front of her, which is why\u2026 the young lady is so upset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh?\u201d Li Hao hadn\u2019t expected the issue involved himself; was the little one taking up his cause?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao glanced at the young girl in the distance, who was now practicing her swordsmanship, but looking visibly agitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His eyes flickered slightly, and he told the attendant, \u201cI understand, you may go now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chapter 17: Chapter 16 Mind Nature<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Translator: 549690339<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the maid had left, Li Hao did not continue playing chess, but stood up and walked over to the courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu also stood up; when Li Hao did not speak to him, he reverted to his expressionless military demeanor, like a silent shadow, faithfully following behind Li Hao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu had asked the servants about the previous assassination attempt, had learned the details thoroughly, and felt a trace of fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially these days of accompanying the child in playing chess, he was keenly aware that the position he was now sitting in was precisely where the assassin had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Separated by only a chessboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At such a distance, to exploit a child\u2019s full array of openings at a moment of inattention could mean death in an instant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But such an assassination had been stopped; it was uncertain whether to call the assassin incompetent, or the clan elder who intervened terrifyingly formidable, or perhaps the child was truly blessed with a large fortune!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, Li Fu took it as a lesson, clinging closely to Li Hao\u2019s side during meals, drinks, and sleep, scrutinising any house servant or maid who approached within three feet of Li Hao with a hawk-like gaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This caused the servants and maids in the courtyard to secretly groan; every time they reported something to the young master, they did so with trepidation, scarcely daring to lift their heads\u2026 they were nearly becoming introverted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seeing Li Hao approaching, Bian Ruxue slightly pursed her lips and turned her body away as if she did not want Li Hao to see her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao looked at her aggrieved demeanor and smiled warmly, ordering a servant to bring over a small stool and some cakes and fresh fruits, then sat down beside her and began to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPracticing swordsmanship with a distracted mind, you can\u2019t beat anyone like this,\u201d Li Hao said with a smiling tone upon seeing the girl waving her sword chaotically, clearly distracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bian Ruxue\u2019s eyes suddenly reddened a bit, and she stopped practicing. Looking down, she said, \u201cIf only Brother Hao could cultivate, with your intelligence, you would definitely surpass me in swordsmanship and become the most outstanding one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having trained in the martial arts field for a year, Bian Ruxue had improved rapidly, and as she grew up, her understanding deepened; she began to comprehend why, after the bone measurement, the adults looked at Li Hao with that kind of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And she also understood what Li Hao had truly lost in that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing Xue\u2019er\u2019s words, Li Fu\u2019s brows furrowed slightly, a hidden sorrow and pity briefly showed in his emotionless eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was not only a regret for the Li Family but also for the Divine General Mansion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao felt a bit helpless; he had not grieved for himself, yet the young girl seemed sadder in comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say that,\u201d he consoled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao comforted her, \u201cPracticing swordsmanship is so boring. Look at you, bearing wind and sun every day, enduring the hardest days of winter and summer, how tiring that must be. Unlike me, eating chilled melon in the pavilion during summer, playing chess, and in winter, curling up in bed to stay warm, sleeping until the sun is high in the sky. Now that\u2019s what I call happiness!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu couldn\u2019t help but glance at the boy, these indeed sounded like his kind of words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without the Divine General around, the other ladies of the mansion could not discipline him too severely, and Li Fu had realized upon his return that the child had adopted a somewhat cynical outlook on life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not afraid of hardship,\u201d Bian Ruxue said, lifting her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you know,\u201d Li Hao responded with annoyance. \u201cLook at me now, too lazy even to stand when I can sit, and to sit when I can lie down. Some hardships are meaningless. Otherwise, why would we have sweets? You\u2019re still young, you don\u2019t understand. Just focus on your sword practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t talk nonsense,\u201d Li Fu couldn\u2019t listen anymore and interrupted sternly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What kind of absurd talk was this, that enduring hardship was meaningless? Which soldier at the border was not enduring hardships?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a martial artist, the last thing to fear is hardship\u2014the only fears were lack of talent and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This young master, comfortably unaware of his own blessings, lacked talent yet loathed hardship, not taking his own learning seriously, and now he was potentially leading astray the young Xue\u2019er\u2014how could this be tolerated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bian Ruxue\u2019s talent in the way of the sword was something Li Fu acknowledged; she was exceptionally talented and destined to achieve greatness in swordplay. In the future, she would become a protective umbrella for Li Hao, and he could not let this mischievous young master undermine his future ally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFu, I think Hao is right,\u201d Bian Ruxue hastily spoke up for Li Hao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu\u2019s eyes bulged with frustration; the young girl was too influenced by Li Hao\u2019s words. If she truly got led astray by him, it would be disastrous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t spill such nonsense to Xue\u2019er; you think just because I wouldn\u2019t dare beat you? If I did, even your father would approve!\u201d Li Fu controlled his impulse to scold the well-behaved orphaned girl and instead threatened Li Hao sternly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao gave a sheepish smile, knowing well that he found no common ground in this respect with the stern and rigid servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And besides, the Divine General Mansion was a family of soldiers; the Li Family had always advocated frugality and the spirit of enduring hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the fact that the ladies of various houses dined and dressed sumptuously, envied by all, in accordance with the standing and the foundation of the Divine General Mansion, they could actually live even more lavishly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Great Lady He Jianlan had for many years eaten vegetarian meals twice a week. Although not a Buddhist, as a soldier who had taken countless lives, she did not say she did it for religious reasons but rather to remind herself and her children not to get lost in this opulent luxury and forget the duty and spirit of a soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, yes, you\u2019re right, Fu,\u201d Li Hao agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To Xue\u2019er, he said, \u201cSee, you made Fu angry; you should hurry up and practice your swordplay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Xue\u2019er blinked her small eyes and pouted slightly; it was clearly Hao who had provoked the anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, she did not argue. If she could take Fu\u2019s anger on behalf of Hao, she was willing to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing Li Hao\u2019s shameless remarks, Li Fu was about to laugh in exasperation, rolling his eyes. This boy was indeed too difficult to discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFu, can you help take a look and give some pointers to Xue\u2019er\u2019s swordsmanship?\u201d Li Hao asked Li Fu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chapter 18: Chapter 16 Mindset_2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Translator: 549690339<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu said indifferently, \u201cI use a knife, not a sword.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe knife and sword are similar; the difference is not significant,\u201d Li Hao said with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you know? To train a weapon to perfection, even the slightest difference can lead to infinite variations,\u201d Li Fu said irritably, but then restrained his temper, thinking that it was only natural for this kid, who did not understand martial arts, to see it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao felt a bit helpless and continued to munch on fresh fruits, with one leg casually crossed over the other, watching Xue\u2019er practice swordsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something wrong with your Swirling Style,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Halfway through watching, Li Hao casually offered Bian Ruxue some tips, \u201cIf you drop your arm a bit lower, it would look better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t talk nonsense; you\u2019re going to distract Xue\u2019er,\u201d Li Fu scolded, frowning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An amateur advising an expert? That was simply preposterous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Bian Ruxue ignored Li Fu. She was used to Li Hao\u2019s casual suggestions. Even though Brother Hao had not embarked on the path of martial arts, she found that practicing as he suggested always felt smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At that moment, as she lowered her arm and used the Swirling Style again, she indeed felt an understanding and ease in her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu uttered a light \u2018huh,\u2019 not because Bian Ruxue actually followed Li Hao\u2019s advice\u2014after all, the young lady was too compliant with Li Hao\u2014but because, as Li Hao said, a slight change in posture indeed added a bit more fierceness to the sword\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He glanced down at the kid who was munching on fruit and sitting with his legs recklessly crossed. Was it a fluke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or was he judging by what looked good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou need to use force in your waist. For a Swirling Style with a long slash, it\u2019s not just the hands that need force; the waist must drive the arms to swing out,\u201d Li Hao suggested again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bian Ruxue nodded slightly, then executed the move several times in a row, finally grasping the essence of it. The sword\u2019s momentum created a breeze, and its power was visibly greater than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu raised his eyebrows in astonishment. One time could be a coincidence, but not twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could this kid actually understand swordsmanship and possess a talent for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Li Fu was not fond of Li Hao\u2019s disposition, he had to admit that over the past half year, this kid had shown great intelligence, as well as a maturity and wisdom beyond his peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could it be that he actually had a talent for swordsmanship but couldn\u2019t display it because he was forbidden to practice martial arts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thinking about this possibility, he couldn\u2019t help but feel a pang of sorrow. If that were true, what a regret it would be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Li Hao\u2019s casual tips, Bian Ruxue\u2019s sword technique gradually approached perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no helping it. With Li Hao\u2019s understanding of swordsmanship, just by watching for a few moments, he could integrate Bian Ruxue\u2019s superior sword technique into his panel and directly achieve a level of near perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his perfect-level understanding to compensate for any flaws, he even skipped the \u2018perfect\u2019 stage. As long as Bian Ruxue grasped a bit of it, she could achieve a might comparable to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, Li Hao asked the young lady to perform for him the move she had failed to counter during their previous sparring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bian Ruxue obediently complied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Hao understood immediately upon watching and even imagined the scene of how his opponent had defeated him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he kept it to himself, considering that Li Fu was there. It wouldn\u2019t matter if he showed a little bit of his understanding of swordsmanship, but getting too detailed would be too freakish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis sword move isn\u2019t good-looking. I think the downward slash here should be changed to a sloping chop, and the elbow should be lifted behind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s better to switch from chopping to a straight thrust here, and don\u2019t shake your wrist,\u201d he pointed out casually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bian Ruxue was puzzled but listened carefully, slowly comprehending Li Hao\u2019s words, and then practiced again according to his suggestions. After several repetitions, she gradually came close to what Li Hao had described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu glanced at Li Hao and was now convinced that Li Hao also possessed an extremely high talent for swordsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the kid expressed himself in an amateurish way, merely correcting Bian Ruxue\u2019s form by what \u201clooks good\u201d and \u201cdoesn\u2019t look good,\u201d being able to perceive the aesthetic of weaponry at such a young age was a talent in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, in the eyes of a genius, some things appear as a different landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Fu sighed inwardly, feeling increasingly sorry for Li Hao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two went to the Eternal Spring Court for their morning visit, and afterwards, Bian Ruxue hurried excitedly to the martial training ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the morning training and lessons at the martial training ground had ended, Bian Ruxue found the young man from the previous day, the one born out of wedlock. Clutching a sword nearly as tall as herself, her little face brimmed with seriousness as she requested another challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon hearing Bian Ruxue\u2019s words, the young man couldn\u2019t help but burst into laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other young men born out of wedlock who were crowding around him also mocked and ridiculed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They didn\u2019t dare to provoke the other legitimate children too much, but Bian Ruxue was, after all, not a member of the Li Family by blood; she was only betrothed to someone from the family, and the marriage hadn\u2019t even taken place yet. Besides, that someone in the family was already known as a useless person within the Divine General Mansion, and any one of them would surpass him in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why they naturally disliked the one sitting on a treasure mountain, enjoying endless resources and affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t Bai beat you yesterday? Haven\u2019t you learned your lesson?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWant to stand up for that piece of trash? If you\u2019ve got the guts, tell him to come himself. Bai doesn\u2019t even need to lift a finger, I could take that trash with both hands tied!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHmph, Bai already showed you mercy yesterday and you still don\u2019t appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou do have talent, but Bai has been training here for eight years. If you want revenge, you might stand a chance in half a year, but by then Bai will probably no longer be here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bian Ruxue bit her lip but continued to stare earnestly at the young man in the middle, \u201cDo you dare or not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her words instantly fired up the young man\u2019s blood qi. The young man called Bai, formally known as Li Dongbai, was one of the three most talented among the illegitimate children at the training ground, with a seventh-grade battle body. Enjoying resources close to those of the legitimate children, he had already stepped into the Zhou Tian Realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the martial training ground\u2019s regulation for skill competition required that the stronger party suppress their cultivation level to the same realm as the weaker party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Bian Ruxue\u2019s current cultivation level was at the tenth level of perfection in the Power Passage Realm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday, I\u2019ll make sure you lose clearly and unmistakably.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Dongbai\u2019s eyes were cold. He hadn\u2019t planned on provoking this girl with exceptional talent. He was simply chatting with his companions about something, and upon mentioning that trash in passing, he had expressed a few opinions and had somehow been sought out by this girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although an illegitimate son, he too had his pride and obviously wouldn\u2019t apologize, thus the competition yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome on!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li Dongbai took his position on the stage in the martial training ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon, the area around the stage was crowded with people, all eager to see the sparring between these two illegitimate young prodigies and that extraordinary talented girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the outside of the arena, the martial training ground\u2019s instructor, that old military veteran, squinted his eyes and smiled, encouraging the spirited competition among these young folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good sword is forged from constant sharpening. Without struggles during their youth, how can they experience setbacks, how can they progress? They certainly can\u2019t wait until they are his age, an old bag of bones, to start fighting for their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon, two figures, one large and one small, were locked in intense combat within the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same scene had been witnessed by the old military veteran just the day before, and today\u2019s difference was not significant, except that Li Dongbai was striking with a few more degrees of ferocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt seems that Xue\u2019er is going to lose again,\u201d thought the old military veteran: \u201cAfter all, her training is too short. Though she has exceptional talent, she still needs tempering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just then, inside the arena, the figures crisscrossed, and the fiercest sword technique was executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a zooming sound, a sword flew out, tumbling to land outside the platform, where it was skewered in the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The figures on the platform were also frozen in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frozen with them were the cheering and jeering voices from below the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And also, the smile on the face of the old military veteran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 15: Chapter 14 The Softest Place Translator: 549690339 \u201c` What\u2019s happening?
