Your son was already dead

Inside the Divine General Residence, in the Mountains and Rivers Courtyard.

In a luxurious and prestigious room, on a soft bed, the young man slowly awoke.

Li Hao had a dream in which his body seemed weightless, soaring between Heaven and Earth and earth.

Soaring over grasslands, rivers, Lake, alongside birds, roaming freely across mountains and lands.

Countless streams converge, seemingly gradually coalescing into an ancient character.

This character is his given name.

Then Li Hao woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a concerned, aged face appear before him.

"Hao'er!"

Li Muxiu was overjoyed and quickly asked, "You're finally awake! Are you feeling better?"

Over the past two days, Li Hao's body had been cleaned by his maid Qingzhi, who had wiped away all the blood and grime and changed him into clean clothes. His torn flesh and broken ribs were gradually healing under the frequent checks of Li Muxiu and the Divine Doctor.

Such a severe injury could heal itself; this was indeed the "Imperishable Realm" ability of the Three Immortalities. Li Hao had not reached the Three Immortalities, yet he possessed this special physique, which was truly miraculous.

"Here it is..."

Li Hao's confused gaze gradually focused, and soon his expression changed as he recognized that he was in his own room.

So, I'm still in the Divine General Residence?

He quickly got up, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain shot through his ribs, which were not yet fully healed, and the wound slightly reopened, oozing blood.

The clean, white clothes I changed into quickly became stained with a red patch.

"Hao'er, you should rest first," Li Muxiu said hurriedly.

But Li Hao had already sat up. He breathed slightly, looked at the anxious Second Master, and scanned the room. Besides the Second Master, Qingzhi was also there, but there was no one else.

Noticing Li Hao's gaze, Li Muxiu said, "Your Fifth Master still has to guard the ancestral hall, but he can sense what's happening here."

Li Hao smiled slightly, nodded, and then released his divine Divine Soul, rushing out of his body. While touring the Mountains and Rivers Courtyard, he saw Li Yuanzhao, who looked uneasy and anxious, as well as Bian Ruxue.

In addition, Li Wushuang and his sister Li Zhining were seen pacing outside the courtyard.

In a corner, Li Hao finally spotted the Little White Fox. It was hiding among some Flowers and Grass, and its wounds seemed to have healed.

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his Divine Soul from his body, and smiled, "Thank you for saving my life, Second Master!"

Li Muxiu changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Hao'er, your father never intended to kill you. He was just temporarily insane. You are father and son, you..."

At this point, he suddenly found himself unable to continue.

I was going to say, "Please be understanding of him."

Ultimately, Li Muxiu hoped for harmony between the father and son.

But when faced with a child who was pale and seriously injured, asking him to understand such a stubborn father felt somewhat cruel.

However, Li Hao had already understood the meaning behind the Second Master's words. He smiled and said to Qingzhi beside him, "Bring me my outer clothes."

When Qingzhi saw Li Hao Awakening, her face lit up with joy, which made her look less haggard, and she nodded quickly.

"Hao'er, what are you doing? Your injuries haven't healed yet, you should rest first," Li Muxiu said hurriedly.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Second Master, do you know about my mother? She came from the Great Wasteland Heaven?"

Li Muxiu was taken aback and asked, "Who told you about this, Heavenly Gang?"

Upon hearing those two words, Li Hao instinctively frowned and shook his head, saying, "Second Master, please tell me about it."

Li Muxiu assumed Li Hao knew everything and sighed, "Your mother's background is complicated. She did indeed come from the Great Wasteland Heaven. She met your father by accident. Back then, everyone disapproved of this marriage, but in the end, they were unwilling to separate this ill-fated couple."

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"You wouldn't be thinking of going to look for your mother, would you?" Li Muxiu suddenly asked.

Li Hao was taken aback and said, "Isn't my mother dead?"

"Um?"

Li Muxiu was also stunned, and immediately realized that he had misspoke, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Seeing that his expression was off, Li Hao quickly asked, "Second Master, you know something, don't you? Tell me!"

Looking into his eyes, Li Muxiu thought for a moment and sighed, "You do have the right to know about this. It's right that your father didn't tell you. After all, once she returned to the Great Wasteland Heaven, it's unlikely she'll ever come out again, especially someone like her who has been pregnant."

Li Hao was shocked. His mother wasn't dead?

"Although your mother is not dead, you will probably never see each other again, child. Do not attempt to find her. The Great Wasteland Heaven is vast and boundless, and even for those at the Four Establishments Realm, it is extremely dangerous."

Li Muxiu said to Li Hao, "With your current cultivation level, entering the Great Wasteland Heaven would be certain death. Besides, even if you went, you might not be able to find it. Even I don't know the location of their clan or tribe..."

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "Second Master, there's no need to worry. I won't take any risks. Even if I were to go, I'd wait until I've reached the level where I can roam freely throughout the Great Wasteland Heaven Realm."

He wasn't just saying that to appease the audience; he meant it.

If it were when he first met Li Tiangang, Li Hao would still have had the drive and willingness to take risks, but now, he just wants to live his life well.

Besides, we haven't seen each other for over a decade, so a little longer won't make a difference.

Li Muxiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Hao say that, "It's good that you think that way."

Li Hao smiled slightly, and after Qingzhi handed him the clothes, he silently put them on. Once everything was in place, he took a deep breath and looked at the Second Master.

He said softly, "Second Master, the journey through the martial world is long, and Hao'er... will no longer be able to accompany you fishing."

Li Muxiu's pupils constricted sharply, and his expression changed as he asked, "Hao'er, what do you want to do?"

Li Hao glanced at the Courtyard and said, "I won't stay here any longer."

"Young Master!" Qingzhi couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.

Li Hao slowly walked out of the room and into the Courtyard.

Upon seeing that Li Hao had recovered, Li Yuanzhao and Bian Ruxue, who were waiting in the courtyard, immediately noticed and rushed over with joy.

"Hao Ge!" Li Yuanzhao called out quickly.

Bian Ruxue also looked delighted. "You've recovered?"

Seeing the two of them, Li Hao smiled and said to Li Yuanzhao, "From now on, you must cultivate diligently on your own."

Li Yuanzhao was taken aback and said, "Hao Ge, you are...?"

Li Hao's gaze slowly swept over the Courtyard, the Courtyard where he had stayed for fourteen years.

He was familiar with Flowers and Grass, plants, and trees inside.

He even drew many places.

But now, none of that matters anymore.

The sky was already slightly chilly, the Falling Leaves of late autumn had long since withered, and the withered yellow leaves on the ground had been swept away by the servants, creating a rather desolate atmosphere reminiscent of the Descent frost.

Li Hao didn't speak, but slowly walked towards a corner of the Courtyard.

The group quickly followed, Li Yuanzhao anxiously pressed for answers.

Finally, Li Hao arrived at a patch of Flowers and Grass, which was surrounded by Stone Block, prohibiting anyone from stepping on it.

He paused for a moment, then slowly and deeply bowed.

"Uncle Lin, goodbye, take care."

After saying that, Li Hao took a deep look, then turned around and sent out his thoughts to stroke the Little White Fox in the yard.

The Little White Fox sensed Li Hao's Aura and was overjoyed. It rushed over like a snow-white figure and ran to Li Hao's feet.

Li Hao smiled, then looked at the Second Master and said solemnly, "Second Master, thank you for your care over the years. If I have the opportunity in the future, Hao'er will repay you."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply in return.

Li Muxiu's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Hao'er, you..."

Li Yuanzhao asked anxiously, "Hao Ge, are you leaving?"

Li Hao looked at him, smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hao Ge is leaving."

"Brother Hao!" Bian Ruxue was also a little anxious, but didn't know what to say.

"You're leaving? Where are you going?"

A cold, angry voice suddenly came from behind.

The smile on Li Hao's face gradually faded, but he didn't turn around.

The Little White Fox trembled as if startled, but then bared its teeth slightly, protecting Li Hao behind him while facing Li Tiangang.

"Heavenly Gang!"

Li Muxiu saw Li Tiangang approaching, with Yu Xuan, Li Fu, and Uncle Zhao beside him.

Anger flashed across his face. "What kind of tone is that? Can't you speak properly to Hao'er?"

Li Tiangang's face was gloomy. He had been recuperating from his injuries for the past two days and had recovered quite a bit. He was surrounded by his other sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, and with his Fifth Brother and eighth brothers coming to persuade him, he also wanted to ease the tension between father and son.

But seeing that Li Hao had just woken up, and that the first person he went to see wasn't him, but instead he wandered around the courtyard before leaving, his anger surged again.

"You've only just recovered a little, and you've already grown too big for your britches?"

Li Tiangang said coldly.

Li Hao's lips curled slightly as he turned around and quietly looked at the man in front of him.

"So, shall we have another match?"

At this point, his Aura was already evident.

"Okay, okay!"

Seeing this, Li Tiangang was so angry that his face flushed Blood Qi, but this time he managed to restrain himself.

After all, he had just broken his Heart Oath and was seriously injured. To attack again would only worsen his injuries. In his fourteen years in Northern Yan, he had rarely suffered such injuries.

"Very well, you've only just entered the Heaven and Man Realm and I can't even control you anymore!"

Li Tiangang's gaze was captivating as he spoke coldly.

Li Hao looked at him calmly, his heart unmoved, and said, "From now on, you have no right to talk to me about discipline anymore. I am no longer your son. I've already said, your son was assassinated long ago."

"What do you mean?!"

Li Tiangang said in a cold voice.

Li Hao looked at him quietly and said softly, "Have you forgotten? Well, then let me remind you, you still remember why Uncle Fu came back, right?"

Upon hearing this, the group was slightly taken aback.

Li Fu returned, naturally because Li Hao was attacked when he was six years old, and the Circulation Realm Human Race, who had been enslaved by the Demon Race, infiltrated the mansion to Assassination.

"Your son should have died when he was six years old, because of your service guarding the Border Pass!"

Li Hao said calmly, "Did you think I had a powerful protector? I personally killed that assassin!"

"Before he died, he said, 'I am your weakest point.' Ha, trying to Assassination me to shake your State of Mind? Now it seems the Demon Race was overthinking it."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their pupils contracted, and they stared at Li Hao in horror.
