It’s a pity that it fell through.
After tonight, the upper floors of Cloud Smoke Pavilion never displayed melon seeds and snacks again.
On the other side.
As soon as Li Hao left Cloud Smoke Pavilion, he bumped into Fu.
Seeing Fu rushing over in a hurry, with an expression of slight tension on his face, Li Hao raised an eyebrow.
“Young Master, thank goodness, you… you didn’t do anything in there, did you?”
Li Hao quickly checked Li Hao’s clothing.
Li Hao couldn’t help but speak wordlessly, saying, “Fu, how old do you think I am? Besides, I have a fiancée. I was only here to join in the fun with these guys, to help them relax; constantly practicing martial arts is quite miserable.”
Hearing Li Hao say this, Li Fu immediately felt relieved and, while he still somewhat trusted Li Hao, he said with a bitter smile, “Young Master, you should hurry back with me; the Marquis is quite angry right now.”
Angry?
Li Hao was slightly stunned, frowning.
He immediately returned with Li Fu.
As for the disciples inside the building, they were no longer children; they could make their way back on their own without his care.
Before long.
Li Hao followed Li Fu back to the Mountain and River Courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, Li Tian Gang sat commandingly in the main hall, a new desk beside him. Aside from a teacup, there was also a rattan stick on it.
Li Hao and Li Fu saw this as soon as they came in.
Li Fu’s face changed immediately, and he hurriedly said, “My lord, the Young Master has returned, and there are reasons for this matter…
“Is that so? I would like to hear it.”
Li Tian Gang’s face was overcast with anger, but remembering the incident with the scroll last time, he spoke in a heavy tone.
Li Hao’s brow knit slightly.
Li Fu quickly recounted the whole story.
“Nonsense! If someone made a wish for you to give them a piece of land, would you agree to it as well?”
After listening, Li Tian Gang grew even angrier, feeling that Li Hao’s nature was indeed too wild, casually speaking of making promises like this.
What’s said must be done; otherwise, it is to break faith with others.
Li Hao said, “This is to motivate them, and it’s conditional, within the realm of what I can handle.”
“You could afford to give away a city too, if you become a True Dragon, couldn’t you?” Li Tian Gang looked at him and said.
Li Hao met his gaze, and after holding it for a moment, he couldn’t help but sigh and said:
“What I can handle is a relative term, very broad, and I think that I’m the one to judge its extent. If the demand is too excessive, I naturally won’t agree.”
Li Tian Gang raised an eyebrow and said, “You still know to leave some leeway, but have you considered the consequences of visiting a brothel today?”
Li Hao said, “If I remember correctly, my second uncle said that you all visited quite a few in your youth, so why can’t I?”
“Do you think you can compare with us?”
Li Tian Gang couldn’t help but inwardly scold his second uncle, wondering how he could carelessly chat about the elders’ past with a child.
Just as he was about to scold Li Hao, seeing the cold look in Li Hao’s eyes, he was slightly taken aback, his expression subtly changing; he looked at Li Hao for a moment and let out a long sigh, saying:
“Hao Er, times change. I’ve received news that the Infinite Buddha Lord has recalled your cousin. At this juncture, to act in such a way suggests you’re certainly prepared to clash with him in the struggle for the True Dragon position.”
He continued, “They are aware of your situation and still made this choice; they must be fully prepared. You can’t afford any negligence at this time.”
Li Hao fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “I understand.”
Li Tian Gang looked at him for a while, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back and said:
“During this time, you should refrain from wandering about. Although I’ve promised that you can do as you wish and I would compensate you, you should at least stay put for this period.”
Stay put… Li Hao glanced at him, silently sighed to himself.
When had he ever not behaved?
Hadn’t he always stayed in the residence over these years?
Was visiting a brothel really being so unruly?
He felt somewhat helpless; once prejudices are formed, they seem hard to change.
Yet, it was somewhat ironic and lamentable that such prejudices would emerge among those with the closest blood ties.
Having lost the interest to say more, he turned and left.
“This child, when will he rein in his nature? I wonder who he takes after…”
As he watched Li Hao depart, Li Tian Gang heaved a sigh, feeling greatly fatigued.
He wanted to make amends to Li Hao, but didn’t want Li Hao to go down the wrong path.
“Master, after all you’ve just returned; perhaps it’s best not to rush things too much…” Zhao said with a worried expression.
He always felt that there might be big problems arising between this father and son.
Their personalities were truly worlds apart.
