The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 25: Showing off and letterhead

Soon, Li Muxiu landed on the previous fishing platform.

He glanced around but didn't see Li Hao. His face suddenly changed. He quickly looked around and immediately saw Li Hao crouching on the ground, fishing near a mound a thousand meters away.

"You really can't stand it?"

Li Muxiu shook his head slightly and was about to rush over when he suddenly saw a fish monster with a smashed head in his peripheral vision.

He was stunned for a moment, and his figure flashed, appearing in front of the fish monster as if teleporting.

After taking a closer look, I found that the wound was caused by a fist.

Li Muxiu reached out and touched the fish monster's body, sensing it carefully, and his expression suddenly changed.

Zhoutian realm? And it’s about the third level!
This fish demon...was killed by that little guy? !

A hint of surprise appeared in Li Muxiu's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Li Hao in the distance. Then he didn't say anything, flew a thousand meters, and came to Li Hao's side in the blink of an eye.

"Boy!"

The sudden sound startled Li Hao.

He was staring at the fish bladder intently, and was so absorbed in it that he didn't even notice when the old man came over.

"Shh!"

Li Hao quickly made a gesture.

Li Muxiu was stunned. The words he was about to ask stopped at his lips. He followed Li Hao's gaze and looked at the fish bladder.

His gaze penetrated to the bottom of the water, and he immediately saw a fish monster hovering near the fishhook, seemingly hesitating.

What surprised Li Muxiu was that the fishhook was completely covered by the bait and was hidden so well that it was impossible to detect that there was a hook in the food.

My goodness, when did he learn this hidden hook technique?

When Li Muxiu was surprised, the fish monster hovering underwater finally couldn't hold back. Although it felt vaguely uneasy in its heart, it couldn't tell why. Finally, under the stimulation of the bait, its brain got hot and it bit it impulsively.

Hooked!
Li Hao's eyes lit up, and he waited for the fish bladder to sink into the water before pulling it up again.

The hook immediately caught the fish monster's mouth. The pain made it struggle, and waves appeared in the water.

Li Hao didn't hesitate and quickly pulled the line. Using his previous fishing skills, he skillfully dragged the fish left and right in the water, exhausting its energy.

A few minutes later, the fish monster was dragged ashore by Li Hao. It was a little monster at the sixth level of Tongli realm.

Seeing Li Hao's relaxed look, Li Muxiu's eyes flickered slightly. After Li Hao took the fishhook out of the fish monster's mouth and swung it to the hillside behind, Li Muxiu said, "Did you kill that fish monster over there?"

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded in acknowledgement.

There's no one else here, so there's no point in lying.

"Do you know what realm that fish monster is at?" Li Muxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared into Li Hao's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the child's soul.

"Zhou Tianjing?"

Li Hao estimated based on the power that the fish monster had exploded in the water previously.

Anyway, it is impossible to reach the Tongli realm.

"That's right, at least the third level of Zhoutian Realm!" Li Muxiu stared at Li Hao: "You have only practiced the Bull Power, at most the sixth level of Tongli Realm. Tell me the truth, have you practiced anything else secretly?"

Li Hao had already thought of what to say. Seeing that he actually took the initiative to talk, he pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding and saying, "That's right."

"Which one?"

"The Thousand Dragons Holy Body on the sixth floor." Li Hao said.

Li Muxiu raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence? He was thinking that if Li Hao really had a talent for physical training, he wouldn't mind teaching him this physical training secret book. He didn't expect that this kid would actually learn it by himself, and judging from the situation, he seemed to have learned it quite deeply!
"What level have you reached?" Li Muxiu stared.

"The second floor." Li Hao said truthfully.

The second layer is the dragon body, which can burst out the power of half dragon. Even if he has not entered the Zhoutian realm, he can exert power comparable to the early Zhoutian realm. Therefore, it can also explain why he killed the fish monster.

Li Muxiu took a deep breath in his heart when he heard this. Wow, the second level?

He looked at the child in front of him who was less than eight years old. He was so small, but he had already reached the second level? !
It seems that what Li Fu said was right. This kid really has a talent for body training.

"Even if you master the body of a dragon, it is not easy to fish the fish monster ashore. Little guy, you not only have a talent for body training, but also have great potential in fishing!" Li Muxiu praised with a very pleased look on his face.

Li Hao scratched his head and smiled modestly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. From the tone of the old man, it seemed that his talent for physical training was not as good as his talent for fishing, which made him happy.

"They all thought you were a waste of martial arts. I didn't expect that at such a young age, you could already kill a Zhoutian realm warrior. Haha..."

Li Muxiu laughed heartily. No matter what his upper limit would be in the future, at least at this moment, Li Hao's combat power was three points stronger than those top geniuses with ninth-level combat bodies!

After the long laugh, Li Muxiu thought of something and looked down at Li Hao:

"By the way, Li Fu probably doesn't know about this. When did you secretly start practicing, kid? Why didn't you tell Li Fu? Don't you trust him?"

"I started learning it when I first entered Tingyu Tower a few years ago."

Li Hao looked honest and simple, and said, "Uncle Fu...he didn't ask me."

Li Muxiu rolled his eyes. "You won't tell anyone unless they ask, right? Come on, no wonder you were able to master the Bull Power in just three months. With such a foundation, practicing Bull Power is like eating and drinking water. Did your father ask you to keep this a secret?"

Li Hao thought about it and shook his head slightly.

"That's you?"

Li Muxiu narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that Li Hao was silent and didn't say anything, many things suddenly flashed through his mind, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that someone in the mansion covets you, so you keep a low profile and disguise yourself?"

Li Hao looked into the old man's eyes and saw the cold murderous intent in them. He considered it for a moment and just nodded slightly.

"who is it?!"

Seeing that this was true, Li Muxiu became furious.

Those second-generation bitches are going to be furious when a seven-year-old child is wronged like this!
Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "I don't want to say it for now."

"Why?" Li Muxiu was stunned and stared at Li Hao, then he immediately understood what the boy was thinking:

"You don't trust me? Do you think I might be related to someone who covets you? Oh, you think too much. I have no children, and there are few people in this world who are worth my attention."

Li Hao still shook his head and said nothing.

Li Muxiu stared at him with a sullen face. After a moment, the anger on his face disappeared. He nodded slightly, revealing a somewhat relieved smile:

"We just met and we're not that familiar with each other. It's normal for you to be so cautious. However, since you won't tell me who that person is, why are you willing to expose your power in front of me? You can easily let the fish monster get off the hook and pull the fishing rod away. It's fine. Just continue to hide."

Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "Because you are not a bad person, old man."

Li Muxiu was stunned. Looking at the bright smile on Li Hao's face and the clear eyes, he was distracted for a moment.

After a while, he finally recovered and couldn't help but laugh with a bit of self-mockery. "Then you are wrong. I am not a bad person, but when I am bad, I don't act like a human being."

"What's that like?"

"In the future, when you step out of the General's Mansion, you will hear my name outside." Li Muxiu said with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Hao did not ask any more questions.

"You little guy, you are so smart at such a young age. It's a pity." Li Muxiu looked at Li Hao and liked the child more and more. If such a young man can practice normally, he will probably be another Xiaojiu, right?

However, I only felt a little regretful, but not too obsessed.

After all, what does it matter if he becomes Li Junye? He will still die on the battlefield. This seems to be the fate of the Li family's men.

"From now on, you don't have to hide your talent for physical training from me. Show it openly. I have seen many geniuses, and you are just a normal first-class genius. You can't scare an old man like me."

Li Muxiu said calmly: "If anyone in the mansion covets you again and thinks that you are hindering certain people, I want to see if our God General's Mansion can still accommodate a child who practices body cultivation."

……

……

After collecting the catch, Li Muxiu took Li Hao and rushed back to Qingzhou City.

In order to increase Li Hao's interest in fishing, Li Muxiu did not land directly in the Tingyu Tower in the inner mansion, but landed at the main gate of the mansion. Then he asked Li Hao to carry the fish basket, and the old and the young walked into the mansion in a swagger.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Li Hao was puzzled.

"You don't understand. This is a fishing tradition."

Li Muxiu held his head high and chest puffed out, looking proud and confident:

"Not counting the one you killed and the one you lent me as bait, you caught four. For a beginner like you, it's a big catch. We have to show it to everyone."

"Is there such a rule?" Li Hao was surprised.

Li Muxiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I say yes, then yes."

"Marquis Mu Tian!"

The servants and maids along the way were startled when they saw Li Muxiu. They didn't understand why this Dinghaishenzhen who had lived in Tingyu Tower for a long time was here, and they hurriedly bowed and knelt down.

Li Muxiu turned a blind eye and ignored it, and walked straight past with Li Hao.

The two of them took many turns and ended up in crowded places.

Inside the martial arts arena, clan members were practicing and elders in the army were giving lectures, but Li Muxiu opened the door and walked in.

The old man in the army was about to frown, but when he saw Li Muxiu's face, he was suddenly startled and hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Old General Yuanzi Camp greets Marquis Mu Tian!"

"I'm teaching."

Li Muxiu asked knowingly, and said calmly: "Today I took Haoer out fishing. It was Haoer's first time, so he didn't have much experience. He only caught a few small demons. Do you want to take them with your wine?"

The old man in the army was startled. Seeing the fish monsters in the basket in Li Hao's hand, he quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Marquis, but I have some snacks to go with the wine today."

Euphemistically refused.

Having been in the mansion for many years, how could he not know the old marquis's temperament? He immediately understood that this was a routine and that he came here to show off.

If I really took it, he would be mad at me and come to beat me up secretly in the middle of the night.

I might not even be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

He didn't dare take such a risk.

"Oh, okay then. You continue teaching." Li Muxiu said calmly and casually, then turned around and left with Li Hao.

Li Hao was confused. Is this the fishing tradition? Too hard!

After passing the martial arts arena, we headed to Changchun Courtyard.

"Second uncle, how come you have time to come here? It's almost time for lunch. How about I ask the servants to bring you an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks? What would you like to eat?" He Jianlan was chatting with Wu Niang Gao. When they saw Li Muxiu, they both stood up quickly to greet him.

Li Muxiu said calmly: "Hao'er caught a few small fish, let me make soup for you."

"Did Hao'er catch this?"

He Jianlan was stunned when she saw Li Hao carrying a fish basket and several small fish struggling in the basket.

"What else? Do you think I can catch such a small fish?" Li Muxiu glared at her unhappily, looking unhappy.

He Jianlan was speechless. She knew that her second uncle had a strange temper. Being rude to him was no big deal, but she must never talk about fishing.

"Yes, yes, since it's a gift from my second uncle, I thank you and accept it." He Jianlan said immediately.

"Why thank me? This is Hao'er's fish." Li Muxiu emphasized.

He Jianlan was stunned for a moment, and could only say helplessly: "Then thank Haoer."

"You're welcome, Auntie." Li Hao said hurriedly, and at the same time rolled his eyes at the old man. This tradition made him feel very uncomfortable, like a thorn in his back, and like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

The fish were given to He Jianlan. After the old man and the young boy left, He Jianlan took a look at the small fish and found that they were all little demons in the Tongli realm. She was surprised.

I heard Li Fu say before that Li Hao has a talent for body training, and it seems to be true.

"Is this really what the kid fished for?"

Gao Qingqing looked at the little fish in surprise. As everyone knew, Li Hao was a martial arts loser. Everyone thought that the boy was just an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, he could catch a little demon in the Tongli realm. This showed that Li Hao had also embarked on the journey of cultivation and was making good progress.

"Second Uncle wouldn't lie about fishing." He Jianlan said.

She looked at the gate of the courtyard, and the old and young figures were no longer there. "It seems that the child has started to practice the body-refining method. This is a difficult path. Poor child."

Gao Qingqing couldn't help but shake her head slightly and sighed softly.

Although Li Hao has a talent for body training, this path is too hard and few people can persevere to the end. If it were her child, she would rather let him be a mortal and enjoy his life.

"That's what Lao Qi and the others wanted... they are so cruel." Gao Qingqing said in a low voice.

……

……

When he returned to Tingyu Tower, Li Hao saw Li Fu waiting outside the tower from afar.

Li Muxiu also saw it and snorted.

When he saw the two of them, Li Fu immediately came forward, looked at the fish blood on Li Hao's body, his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Second Uncle, Hao'er..."

"When fishing, it is inevitable to compete with fish monsters. Don't worry, with me by your side, Hao'er won't get hurt." Li Muxiu said calmly.

Li Fu breathed a sigh of relief and handed the thing in his hand to Li Hao: "This is a letter from Jianlu. It should be sent by Miss Xueer. Take a look."
