Finding Old and Ugly Women for the Young Master

"You're familiar with this area of Gusu. Go to the brothels and entertainment districts in Gusu City and find some women. Remember to find plenty," Li Hao said directly to Deng Baichuan.

"Second Young Master, the few young mistresses are all as beautiful as celestial beings. Aren't you satisfied with them? Besides, we have a large number of beautiful maids in Canhe Manor. While they can't compare to the heavenly beauty of the mistresses, nor are they as skilled in pleasing men as those from the entertainment districts, they are clean! And even if you're not satisfied, aren't there still Miss A Bi and Miss A Zhu?" Deng Baichuan hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Though the girls from the entertainment districts knew how to please and serve men, there was no telling if any of them carried diseases. If the Second Young Master were to fall seriously ill, the master would surely mince him into pieces.

Deng Baichuan was well aware that Murong Bo was not dead.

When A Bi heard Deng Baichuan's words, her small face turned bright red. This Brother Deng was too wicked, actually suggesting that she and A Zhu should go serve the Second Young Master. She was still so young...

But... I'm willing.

"What are you thinking in that head of yours? I'm asking you to find people to serve Duke Duan. Also, find more painters and have them record the entire process. I have a use for it," Li Hao's old face turned incredibly dark. This Deng Baichuan was too good at imagining things.

If this were to be published as a fanfiction novel in a later era, it would surely drive a large number of unsuccessful authors to their deaths.

"Ah, so that's what it is. That puts my mind at ease," Deng Baichuan said, patting his chest.

This Second Young Master's moves were too flamboyant. He even wanted the entire process recorded. If these things were to leak out, Duan Yu's reputation would likely be ruined, and he would be scorned by everyone under heaven.

"Remember not to waste money. Just find those old and ugly grandmothers. They're old, and their business must be difficult. We should also take care of them, understand?" Li Hao continued to instruct.

He was famously stingy. He hadn't paid the wages of his dozens of knights, including Yan Shun. He had even confiscated their belongings. If Li Hao hadn't provided them with food and lodging, those people would have likely starved to death.

"Second Young Master, that's not appropriate! Duan Yu is a duke, after all. Even if he's a fake, finding those old and ugly women from the entertainment districts... what if he refuses to cooperate..." Deng Baichuan's back broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Li Hao's suggestion.

This Second Young Master was too ruthless. Anyone who offended him would be better off ending their own life sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, if he ever fell into his hands, he would guarantee a life worse than death.

"Take this. If he refuses to cooperate, give him this to use," Li Hao said, tossing a packet of powder to Deng Baichuan.

"Second Young Master, what is this?" Deng Baichuan asked curiously.

If it were him, even if he took a pill for eternal virility, he probably wouldn't have any improper thoughts about a group of old women.

"This is the number one miraculous medicine in the world, the Mysterious Lust-Inducing Powder. This single packet alone is worth at least a hundred taels of gold. Sigh, forget it. To give Duke Duan a pleasant memory, I can only bear the pain of parting with it."

Li Hao's face showed extreme heartache. After using this packet, there would only be 997 packets of Mysterious Lust-Inducing Powder left. It wasn't enough!

Duan Yu, who was still diligently copying martial arts manuals in front of the tomb, shivered inexplicably, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Li Hao, I'm asking you, did you use... on me..." Lin Shiyin's face was flushed, and her words were hesitant.

"Use what! Don't I use [you] every night?" Li Hao began to play dumb, knowing that Lin Shiyin wasn't asking about that.

"You scoundrel." Lin Shiyin was instantly exasperated. She couldn't believe Li Hao would bring up such a private topic in front of so many people, instantly making her forget what she had intended to say.

"Young Hero Li, the Six Meridian Divine Sword manual is here. Should we burn it now, or find a more auspicious day?" Jiumozhi asked, holding several sheets of Xuan paper, his expression conflicted.

He was a martial arts fanatic. The Six Meridian Divine Sword was so powerful; of course, he wanted to study it.

"I think it's better to find an auspicious day to burn it. Master has worked hard to find the manual and burn it for Old Mr. Murong, which is truly righteous. Before burning it, please keep it safe, Master. You can also study it when you have time," Li Hao said generously.

It was just a favor. What was the harm in him doing it? It wasn't his family's martial art anyway.

"Then this humble monk will respectfully accept your offer," Jiumozhi said, clasping his hands together with a grateful expression.

He secretly vowed that since the Second Young Master thought so highly of him, when the Second Young Master raised an army to restore the Yan dynasty in the future, he would definitely persuade the King of Tubo to provide full assistance.

"Miss A Bi, could you trouble the servants to arrange a quiet courtyard for the Master later?" Li Hao said, lowering his head to speak to A Bi, who was hugging him and refusing to let go.

"Don't worry, Second Young Master. A Bi will definitely arrange a quiet courtyard for the Master and guarantee that no one will disturb him." Seeing Li Hao's teasing gaze, A Bi quickly let go of him, shyly pinching the corner of her clothes with an incredibly cute expression.

"Alright, alright. The matters have been handled. Let's go back!"

Not long after Li Hao and his group left, two fleeting figures appeared before the large tree that had been knocked down by Li Hao's sword energy.

"Head Steward, have you confirmed Li Hao's identity?" the masked man, who was clearly the leader, asked.

"The secret agents investigating near Zhongnan Mountain have returned. His identity has been confirmed by exhuming Young Master Hao's grandmother's grave."

"Young Master Hao should not be aware of his background, so he doesn't know his identity. However, A Zhu asked Young Master Hao who his father was, and he said Li Tiezhu. His grandmother's surname is Li. All these match. Now, only the blood test remains," an old man with white hair replied.

He was the steward of Canhe Manor, the "Head Steward" mentioned by everyone.

"There's no need for a blood test. In fact, we don't even need to investigate to confirm his identity. Just based on his innate protective ability from the Stars Shift technique, coupled with his nine-tenths resemblance to Fu'er, who would believe he isn't from the Murong family!" the masked man sighed.

"Hao, Ri Tian Hao. It seems my brother is also longing for the restoration of the country!"

"However, he didn't tell Young Master Hao his identity. This is somewhat difficult to understand!" the Head Steward frowned.

"What's so difficult to understand? My second brother was stranded near Zhongnan Mountain without any close attendants. Restoring the country would naturally be extremely difficult. Perhaps he felt that restoring the country was hopeless and didn't want his son to live in endless suffering! If I had been taken away by Consort Li back then, I might have made the same decision, not wanting Fu'er to embark on this path of no return." The masked man clearly wasn't in good spirits.

After striving for so many years without seeing any hope of restoring the country, he truly felt very tired.
