The rupture (supplement 220)
The ladies were all deeply impressed by Li Hao's precocious intelligence, but they never expected it to be so extraordinary.
If this weren't the Divine General Residence, where they possessed an extremely keen sense of Demon and unusual situations, they might have thought Li Hao had been possessed.
However, such naturally gifted individuals with exceptional memories do exist.
Therefore, everyone was shocked, but they couldn't help but look at Liu Yuerong.
Liu Yuerong's heart was frozen, and she trembled. She understood that this Prodigy child in front of her must have remembered this matter since he was a child.
But the other person remembered clearly that all these years, he had always maintained a smile in front of her, and responded to her concerned inquiries with an innocent expression.
The child would even bring him food from time to time, though it didn't taste very good, it was still a sign of filial piety.
Result.
It was all a disguise?!
Liu Yuerong considered herself to be quite shrewd, but she never expected that this child, who had grown up without parents to guide her, could achieve such a level of intelligence.
Monster! Demon Creature!
Liu Yuerong was terrified, but feeling the gazes of others, she instantly cleared her mind and knew that she absolutely could not admit it now, otherwise Qian Feng's future would be truly ruined.
"Is this your evidence?!"
Liu Yuerong couldn't help but sneer, saying, "What a deep scheme! What you've said is full of holes!"
She looked at everyone and said, "He could easily find out this by asking Uncle Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers Courtyard. It's nothing special. Is this really evidence?"
She looked at Li Hao and said, "Since you say I poisoned you back then, why didn't you go and complain to the First Madam? Why didn't you say anything back then?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that there was some truth to it.
If Li Hao had been a child back then and said those words, and given that he later failed to awaken his Divine Blood, everyone would have had no doubt about it.
But Li Hao now... although he's still a teenager, he's no longer a child.
If he were two or three years old, he would be innocent and naive, and his words would be highly credible. But Li Hao is now a handsome young man who is capable of competing for the True Dragon!
He is capable enough to lie and fabricate.
Seeing her try to argue, Li Hao said coldly, "Even if I had said it back then, before embarking on cultivation and reaching the realm of awakening Divine Blood, who would believe a child's words? You'll have the same excuse then, except that children are unrestrained and who knows which servant instilled these words in them. Then you can just find a servant to be a scapegoat!"
"But my parents aren't around. If I expose this, you'll definitely try to harm me again. How can I protect myself?!"
Liu Yuerong retorted angrily, "No matter what you say, you have no evidence whatsoever; you're just making things up with your mouth!"
Li Hao didn't have any concrete evidence. After all, too many years had Past since the incident. Back then, the other party had given her the poison and was already prepared for the worst. That's why he had people examine him over the years, but they couldn't find anything wrong with his body.
There is absolutely no residue!
The only proof he could offer was through his own memory that his words were true.
However, as Liu Yuerong said, this matter is controversial, and Li Hao had anticipated this. Therefore, he planned to take matters into his own hands during the True Dragon Contest, and cripple or kill her son. Unexpectedly, he was stopped.
He Jianlan glanced at Li Hao, then at Liu Yuerong, a cold glint slowly creeping into her eyes.
She had watched Li Hao grow up, and although Li Hao behavior and words today shocked her, she still chose to believe Li Hao.
The other ladies looked hesitant. There was no evidence for this matter; it was just a matter of debate between the two sides, each with their own version of events.
Moreover, if what Li Hao said is true, recalling Li Hao's acting over the years, they also felt a Chill in their hearts. This child's thoughts are far too deep!
Li Qingzheng stared intently at Li Hao, but suddenly realized that his relationship with Li Hao was much deeper than that with these younger wives. The Chess Dao the person, so he naturally believed Li Hao's words.
Chen Hefang had just emerged from seclusion and knew little about these matters. Although she had secretly observed some things over the years, she only had a general understanding. At this moment, this earth-shattering secret was completely unknown, not only to her when she was not in the courtyard, but even to He Jianlan, who was in charge of the Nine Courtyards.
Looking at the boy, her eyes were filled with complex emotions. Perhaps it was some kind of bias, but the boy always carried the shadow of Jiulang, making her Forbidden Zone lean more towards him.
"You say I destroyed your Divine Blood? Back when your father returned from the Border Pass with a message, everyone learned that he had already achieved the Three Immortalities at the age of twenty-three!"
Seeing the silence in the courtyard, with everyone seemingly lost in thought, Liu Yuerong gritted her teeth and said, "Before this, who could have known about your father's condition? Who could have known that you might possess the potential to awaken Divine Blood within you?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly; indeed.
Unless Liu Yuerong knew beforehand, but that depends on whether Li Tiangang had revealed it to Liu Yuerong.
In an instant, all eyes in the courtyard fell on Li Tiangang.
Li Tiangang's face was grim, his eyes filled with anger. He naturally understood the meaning behind the gazes directed at him.
Even though the man in front of him was his son, he couldn't show favoritism. Having served as the head of the Ministry of Justice for many years, he had always emphasized the importance of Laws and rules.
Only with laws can there be order; only with laws can there be strictness and continuity!
"Second sister-in-law should not know my situation," Li Tiangang said in a deep voice.
Hearing him say this, Liu Yuerong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At least you, Li Tiangang, have some conscience. It seems that Qian Feng's injury wasn't necessarily instigated by you. Perhaps he contacted someone and fabricated the story!"
Li Hao's face suddenly darkened as he stared at his father:
"Are you really sure you've never exposed yourself in front of her, or anywhere else? She must know; I heard it with my own ears, how could it be false?!"
When Li Tiangang heard Li Hao's question, he couldn't help but look at him. At this moment, he was also recalling in his heart, but he had entered the Three Immortalities in a very secret way. He had not told anyone except his wife.
But his wife was always by his side, and besides, her talent and wisdom surpassed his own. How could she possibly have leaked this information?
Seeing Li Tiangang remain silent, Li Hao's eyes immediately revealed an undisguised disappointment.
He could understand if others didn't believe him, but this father didn't believe him at all, and didn't even have the heart to show favoritism!
But then, Li Hao chuckled to himself.
Fourteen years have passed since we last met. What affection can we possibly have? Aside from Bloodline, what else makes us seem like father and son?
Favoritism? Why show favoritism? Am I perhaps pinning my hopes on Bloodline?
"Speaking nonsense and trying to kill Qian Feng, what a cruel heart!"
Looking at the lonely and silent boy in the arena, Liu Yuerong's eyes flashed with cold light. "Besides, even if we take a step back and say this is a grudge between you and me, how could you be so cruel to your own cousin?!"
"Has Qian Feng ever offended you?"
Li Hao snapped out of his daze, his gaze suddenly turning icy as he stared intently at her. "Whether he knew about this or not is none of my concern. He owes you a debt of gratitude, so he should be implicated because of you!"
"I only intended to cripple him, but he made the murderous intent move first!"
"Neither you nor your Mother and Son will leave here today!"
Seeing Li Hao's Killing Aura, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Liu Yuerong laughed in anger, saying, "Fine, fine, Li Tiangang, is this the son you raised? He's utterly lawless! Are you just going to let him bully us, a widow and her orphan, like this?"
"Back then, your second brother, Feng Ping, took a sword for you!"
"If it weren't for that sword strike, you would have died long ago!"
She glared at Li Tiangang with resentment. "If I hadn't shielded you from that sword, your second brother wouldn't have been injured, and he wouldn't have died later!!"
Li Tiangang shuddered, his pupils contracted slightly, and his breathing became heavy.
"Your son has taken down True Dragon, and he dares to be so arrogant and disrespectful. In the future, I'm afraid the entire Li Manor won't be killed by the Demon Creature, but rather wiped out by him!"
Liu Yuerong spoke words filled with hatred, as if she were trying to Heart-Extermination.
"That's right!"
Everyone remained silent, but suddenly a clear voice rang out from the crowd.
Li Fenghua looked up abruptly and saw that it was his daughter. He was about to scold her when he saw his daughter Li Rumeng, running towards him crying, with a bright red five-finger mark on her face.
He paled and asked, "Who... who hit you like this?"
Anger was already showing in his eyes; he loved this daughter dearly.
Li Rumeng turned and pointed at Li Hao, Anger saying, "It was him! He's arrogant and domineering. I just couldn't stand it anymore and said a few words, and he hit me!"
"If Mingguang and the others hadn't been there, he probably would have killed his daughter!"
"Mingguang and the others can all testify to this."
Upon hearing their daughter's words, everyone's expression changed, and they looked at Li Hao and Li Mingguang.
Li Mingguang was also slightly taken aback. Although he Anger with Li Hao, they were all present when Li Hao slapped Li Rumeng. They knew that Li Rumeng had misspoke first, and although Li Hao had disciplined her, it didn't seem as serious as Li Rumeng had said, that he was going to kill her.
He hesitated, looking at the stares of the crowd.
He Jianlan immediately asked, "Is that so? If you were there, why didn't you stop it?"
Li Mingguang lowered his head and said, "My cousin Li Hao did indeed make a move. It was too sudden; I didn't expect it and didn't have time to react, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, a clear, crisp voice suddenly interrupted him.
A bright red palm print appeared on Li Hao's face!
Everyone in the entire academy was stunned, looking at the person who had made the move—it was none other than Li Tiangang!
The slap was extremely hard; even with Li Hao's physique, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered back several steps.
Li Hao stared wide-eyed at the tall, imposing man before him, his eyes wide with disbelief.
But what I saw was a pair of Anger and imposing eyes.
"You are absolutely lawless!"
Li Tiangang said Anger, "You've been making friends with all sorts of scoundrels, and you even went to Brothel to embarrass yourself. I don't know how you've managed all these years!"
Everyone dotes on you and spoils you. Out of respect for me, no one dares to discipline you!
"I'll teach them a lesson myself today!"
"I thought you'd become more docile and less temperamental a while ago, but you only just got the True Dragon, and you already think no one can control you?!"
As he spoke, he took another step towards Li Hao.
Li Qingzheng's expression changed, and he said, "Heavenly Gang, this matter still needs investigation and careful consideration. As for Ru Meng's matter..."
"Fifth Uncle, don't interfere, this is my family's business!"
Li Tiangang didn't turn around, but his voice was icy.
Li Qingzheng was stunned.
"Uncle..." Bian Ruxue ran over, her face trembling with fear, wanting to plead for Li Hao.
At the same time, a white figure suddenly darted out and rushed in front of Li Hao, seemingly to protect Li Hao behind her; it was the Little White Fox.
Fear was evident in its eyes, but it still stared directly at Li Tiangang, its hair standing on end and its teeth bared slightly.
"You bastard, you beast, how dare you act so lawlessly!"
Anger, Li Tiangang casually swung his hand, unleashing a force that instantly struck the Little White Fox.
The Little White Fox screamed as its body slammed into the courtyard wall, smashing through it and falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string, its fate unknown.
Li Hao's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinholes as he regained his senses.
But the next moment, his mind exploded as if by a thunderbolt, and his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.
"Li Tiangang!!!"
The boy roared furiously, his eyes blazing with Anger as he stared at the man.
Aura as vast and boundless as the ocean erupted from his body, like a tornado rising up on the spot, swirling up all the surrounding dust.
