My name is Haotian

Li Hao discerned the other party's intention in asking the question, paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, "It was bestowed upon me by Senior."

"Which senior?"

The noblewoman asked again, but this time her question had a somewhat aggressive tone.

Li Hao sensed the sudden chill in the Palace Hall, feeling his pores tighten slightly. The pressure permeating the air far exceeded Immortal Lord Realm withstand.

But he had just traveled from the Southern Region and survived under the watchful eye of that Supreme avatar, so why would he be terrified here?

"I cannot say."

Li Hao slightly cupped his hands, maintaining proper etiquette.

The noblewoman was surprised that this ordinary-looking young man, aside from his somewhat handsome appearance, possessed such composure. A strange light flashed in her eyes as she gracefully stepped into the hall and sat down at the main seat. A maidservant brought her some celestial tea, the steam rising and forming a white dragon of mist on the teacup, with the Blood Qi of the Dragon Clan condensing within.

Drinking this tea can improve one's physique; the Immortal Body contains dragon energy, strengthening the body and making one cup equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation for an ordinary True Immortal.

The noblewoman didn't even glance at him; her gaze simply swept over the young man quietly. Sitting in the main seat, she naturally exuded an air of superiority.

"What's your relationship with that senior?"

She asked softly.

Seeing that the other party was still testing him, Li Hao frowned slightly. He knew there seemed to be a misunderstanding; what he had handed over was actually a Betrothal.

No wonder the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul said that bringing this item to the Su Clan would allow one to obtain what one desires.

If it's Marriage Alliance, then one can freely come and go within the Su Clan, and thus easily meet Ying Xiaoxiao's Reincarnated Body.

However, selling himself into the household was not his original intention; he only wanted to stay by that woman's side.

"May I ask how you are addressed, madam?"

Li Hao didn't answer, but instead asked a question.

"How dare you!"

The maid beside him suddenly narrowed her eyes, her gaze flashing with cold rage.

The noblewoman frowned slightly, but seeing the young man's simple attire and lack of manners, she understood it was normal. She had no interest in arguing about such trivial matters and said calmly:

"I am the Family Head, and I am in charge of all matters, big and small, in the Su Clan, especially the marriage arrangements in the inner quarters."

Li Hao had assumed the other party was the Family Head of the Su Clan and wondered why she was a woman. Now he understood and bowed his head, saying, "Madam Su, I have come here only to see one person, preferably by their side. I hope Madam Su will allow me to."

"Who?"

Madam Su narrowed her eyes slightly, but she already had the answer in her heart. Therefore, a cold smile appeared on her lips, and her question was sharp and Chill.

Unexpectedly, the young man shook his head and said, "This junior does not know her name, only that she is in the Su Clan."

"Oh?"

Madam Su raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the young man's frank and sincere eyes, and the sincerity in them. A cold smile rose in her heart. How many Soul Lifespan had he lived to dare to deceive her? The other concubines in the backyard were far more skilled at flattery and charm than he was, and now they were all obediently staying in their own courtyards, not daring to cause any trouble.

"Since you have come with Betrothal, a Betrothal personally Xu Nuo by our ancestors, my Su Clan descendants naturally dare not disobey it."

Madam Su's eyes remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger. She said, "But the Betrothal contract only states that it is for a person of exceptional talent from the future of my Su Clan, without specifying which lineage or which individual. Currently, my Su Clan has four young daughters, all of whom are still unmarried. They are all outstanding young talents on our Gusu Emperor Star. I see that you are also handsome and I wonder how long your Soul Lifespan is. I suppose that to receive Betrothal bestowed by that senior, you must also be an outstanding person. So I will betroth you to one of my most beloved daughters. What do you think?"

Li Hao froze, his expression instantly changing; he certainly didn't want to get married here.

Moreover, he wasn't stupid. Although Madam Su was speaking in a gentle and pleasant tone, a stark contrast to when she first entered, he could easily tell that she was not happy with the marriage.

Since neither party was willing to comply with the Betrothal, it seemed unnecessary to him.

"Madam Su, I have only come here to find someone, and have no intention of getting married."

Li Hao stood up and bowed again.

A cold smile flickered deep in Madam Su's eyes, but her face remained Wenrou as she said, "Could it be that you despise my Su Clan's daughter? If you are unwilling, our Su Clan cannot bear the blame from that senior. They might think we are coercing and pressuring them, unwilling to obey our ancestor's wishes. I hope you will not make things difficult for me."

Li Hao couldn't help but say, "I can explain to that senior that I will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Madam Su narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You've come from afar, you must be tired. Yaoqin, take him to rest."

At this point, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "What's your name?"

Li Hao then realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and the other party had just started to ask. He thought for a moment, then whispered:

My name is Haotian.

As the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul had previously stated, there are countless Human Race in the True Realm; a single Immortal City has hundreds of millions of them, and Immortal Dynasty has thousands of immortal Immortal City. There are more than a million people with the same name, so there is no need to hide one's name.

Moreover, this is the Northern Region, where his Aura has been severed and his appearance has changed slightly under the power of the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul. Even if those Heavenly Prodigy Prodigy from the Southern Region appeared before him, they would only be suspicious and unable to be certain. After all, compared to name and appearance, the most reliable way to confirm identity is by Aura, which is similar to fingerprints and is unique.

"Haotian..."

Madam Su nodded slightly, then instructed her maid to escort the boy down.

"Madam Su, I would like to..."

Li Hao, unwilling to waste time and eager to see Ying Xiaoxiao's Reincarnated Body, or rather, Shi Miao's Reincarnated Body, approached the maidservant in a moon-blue dress beside Madam Su with a cold expression, and said:

"Mr. Haotian, please."

Li Hao looked at Madam Su, but she smiled and didn't reply.

"I truly did not come here for the sake of Betrothal."

Li Hao took a deep breath and spoke seriously again.

Madam Su smiled and said, "You must be tired. Go and rest first, otherwise people will say that the Su Clan has no hospitality."

"Please."

The maid reached out her hand, but her tone sounded like a command.

Li Hao's expression changed slightly, but he ultimately held back. Before seeing Ying Xiaoxiao's Reincarnated Body, he was unwilling to clash with the Su Clan.

After Li Hao was led away by Yaoqin, another maid, Zhi Yuan, watching her mistress's face gradually turn cold and her expression become like ice, cautiously asked:

"Madam, that young man is feigning ignorance, using a feigned retreat as a tactic. Do you really intend to agree to this marriage? Who knows where he picked up this Betrothal from? If you agree, wouldn't that be a shortcut to success, a meteoric rise to the top?"

Madam Su's eyes swept over the threshold of the Palace Hall that the young man had just crossed, and she said coldly, "What do you know? This is Great Dao Spirit Treasure, how could it be abandoned? It still bears the Aura of Emperor Lord, so the other party is most likely a descendant of that Emperor Lord, or someone he values..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten: she hadn't used the Soul Age Mirror from the Jingwei Hall to examine the young man's Soul Lifespan.

However, she quickly came to terms with it. A cultivator at the Immortal Lord Realm who came with Betrothal contract must be Heavenly Prodigy of the Human Race. Her words to the young man earlier were not entirely just polite formalities.

However, there are countless talented Heavenly Prodigy the Human Race; to think one could marry her daughter would be overestimating one's own abilities.

Besides, in terms of pure Heavenly Talent, is there anyone among the Human Race who can compare to that person from the Lin Clan?

"We'll discuss it again when the Family Head returns. Even if she's to marry, we won't marry Muqing him. Although the Betrothal contract requires her to marry a top- Heavenly Prodigy Bloodline of the Su Clan, we can't just forcibly break up a marriage already in the family, can we?"

Madam Su's eyes flickered slightly. The Betrothal contract was poorly drafted, with many loopholes that could be exploited. Back then, her ancestor and that Emperor Lord were both of extremely high status, and it was just a trivial matter, so they didn't think too much about it. But now that she was the Family Head, there were many things she couldn't help but think about and consider.

This concerns the Future of the Su Clan, the overall landscape of the Gusu Emperor Star, and the power of the Human Race in the Northern Region. It has a tremendous impact; how could it be decided by a mere joke back then?

What happened in the past is what happens today. Even Emperor Lord cannot foresee the Future changes that will occur endlessly in the Years.

"Arrange for him to stay in the Small Annex Courtyard first, so as not to disturb the other children in the backyard, lest they see all the splendor and become even more greedy..."

Madam Su gave the order in a soft voice.

Zhi Yuan Kite bowed in agreement and immediately used her hand token to transmit a message to Yaoqin, who had led the boy away.

Small Annex Courtyard.

Yaoqin received the telepathic message and immediately understood. Having served her mistress for ten thousand years, she was quick-witted and perceptive, and how could she not know her mistress's intentions?

He immediately turned around on the rainbow bridge, changed direction, and said to the boy behind him, "This way, please."

Although he said "please," his tone was cold and lacked any politeness.

Li Hao could tell that the maid had a prejudice against him, but he didn't care. He just frowned, feeling helpless and anxious. He thought that by presenting that item, he would be able to see Ying Xiaoxiao's Reincarnated Body, but unexpectedly, there were twists and turns.

He scanned the surroundings, looking around at the courtyards along the way. He saw one fairy garden after another, planted with Divine Tree and spiritual seeds. The maids and servants walking around all had extraordinary Aura and were all at the True Immortal Realm. There were even Immortal Lord Realm leaders in various places.

"Sir, please do not look at what is improper."

Yaoqin noticed the young man behind her looking around, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. The Betrothal wasn't even finalized yet, and he wanted to plunge headlong into the most prosperous and luxurious place in the world. He was dreaming.

However, the lady did not explicitly refuse or kick the young man out. She did not give him a clear look either. Soon, she led Li Hao to the more secluded western area of the Su Manor. There was a large garden and Palace Hall there. Compared to the places Li Hao had passed, they were much simpler, but they were still as luxurious as Imperial Palace.

This is the Small Annex Garden. The Su Clan has Fish Dragon of visitors, so the reception area is naturally different. The Small Annex Garden is for entertaining ordinary Lineage.

"This is Sea Moon Hall. Sir, you will stay here for the time being. Madam will summon you if needed."

Yaoqin led Li Hao to a Palace Hall courtyard and turned to say to Li Hao.

Immediately, she glanced around, and the servants and maids in the courtyard quickly gathered around, hurriedly bowing and greeting Miss Yaoqin.

As Madam Su's personal maid, she held an extremely high position in the Su Manor, and the heads of various departments all fawned over her.

"Summon him?"

Li Hao frowned even more deeply. Wasn't this tantamount to being placed under house arrest?

"Am I allowed to look around freely during my free time?"

Li Hao asked.

Yaoqin had anticipated Li Hao's question and replied without hesitation, "You are welcome to visit any part of this Small Annex Garden, but it would be best not to offend any women in other areas."

This statement is reasonable and justifiable.

Li Hao fell silent for a moment. Now, many things were beyond his control. This was true in the Southern Region, and it seemed to be true now in the Su Clan as well.

Seeing that Li Hao remained silent, Yaoqin's lips curled slightly. Seeing the young man's discomfiture brought her a strange sense of pleasure. She had always despised those who fawned over the powerful, especially when she thought of the several stunning young ladies of the Su Clan, one of whom would be chosen by the madam to marry this man. She felt it was all too unfair, as if a pearl had been covered in dust or Immortal Treasure had been damaged.

You are to treat our distinguished guests well; if anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible.

Yaoqin said to the Steward of the Sea Moon Hall.

The middle-aged Steward, who was at the Immortal Lord Realm, was now all smiles and fawning, nodding and agreeing repeatedly.

After Yaoqin left, the Steward and several maids immediately came up to Li Hao, asking if he wanted to rest or take a stroll around the courtyard, and also to give Li Hao some introductions.

Li Hao wasn't in the mood, but he didn't intend to wait there either. He asked the Steward to take him for a walk around the Small Annex Garden, hoping to find out if he could stumble upon Ying Xiaoxiao's Reincarnated Body by sheer luck.

The Steward agreed and then accompanied Li Hao as they left Sea Moon Courtyard and strolled around the entire Small Annex Garden.

This Small Annex Garden covers a vast area, even larger than the Imperial City. Each of the other courtyards and halls has a Barrier to prevent Divine Sense from spying on it.

Li Hao walked around, but many courtyards were inaccessible and inhabited. Apart from enjoying the beautiful scenery and prosperity of the Su Clan, he did not see the person he wanted to see.

He sighed and prepared to return to the Sea Moon Hall to wait quietly.

Since Madam Su had entertained him and hadn't kicked him out immediately, Li Hao figured she wouldn't keep him waiting too long; there would eventually be a result.

Just as they were about to return, suddenly, a booming sound rang out in the sky not far away, accompanied by the trembling of a sword, like the roar of a dragon. A huge Dharma Form flashed by, and the impact spread outwards.

However, when the impact reached the walls of the Small Annex Garden, it was blocked by the Barrier and dissipated without a trace.

Li Hao stopped and looked over. Although they were some distance apart, he could sense that two Immortal Lord Realm in fierce combat. One of them was using a sword, and his Sword Dao was quite advanced, reaching the Fifth Layer of the Origin Realm.

In the Su Clan, someone actually dared to fight openly?

Li Hao was somewhat surprised. The Steward beside him quickly said, "Sir, that's the Su Clan's top-tier Martial Arts Arena. The young master of the Su Clan likes to spar Sparring there."

Li Hao suddenly realized what was happening and was about to look away when suddenly, two long rainbows streaked across the distant sky, their clothes fluttering. One of them, dressed in Teal-Blue Garment, like a cool shade of deep summer, came into view.

Li Hao was stunned. His pupils dilated slightly as the rainbow before his eyes magnified repeatedly at a speed of dozens of times. Soon, the face of the figure in the blue-green dress appeared in his eyes.

Li Hao felt a jolt in his heart. That face, those bright eyes, and that exquisite, flawless features—it was Ying Xiaoxiao!

It's her! She's actually here?!

Reincarnated Body?

Li Hao felt his head buzzing, his body vibrating slightly, and his blood suddenly boiling.

Whoosh!

His figure suddenly rose from the ground, crashing through the air with a roar. The power of the Extreme Realm was revealed. The Return to Emptiness Teleportation and Movement Method were released unconsciously. In one step, he crossed in front of the rainbow and arrived in front of the woman.
