The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 82 Xiao Yujing

"What's this?"

Seeing the gift that Zhao Bo had thoughtfully prepared, Li Hao opened the gift box and took a look. It turned out to be an exquisite and small dragon horn comb. In addition, there was also a small bottle inside.

Li Hao picked up the small porcelain bottle and shook it. Zhao Bo said quickly, "It contains the God-Forging Pill, which can increase the power of the soul. I heard that Miss Wushuang has already reached the Godly Wandering Realm, so she must need it."

"Uncle Zhao is really thoughtful and considerate."

Li Hao couldn't help but praise.

He knew about the God-Forging Pill, which can be taken by those in the Divine Wandering state. Each pill can increase the distance of the Divine Wandering by about 100 meters. If each person takes ten pills, it is basically the upper limit, and any more cannot be absorbed.

If ten of them are accumulated, it will be one kilometer.

This is more than enough to outweigh four or five years of hard training.

The only drawback is that there is a very subtle difference between the soul trained with the help of elixirs and the one cultivated by oneself. It is not a big deal in ordinary battles and is not easy to detect, but it will be a flaw in the contest between top masters.

This is what martial artists in the martial arts world often say: if you rely on elixirs to improve yourself, your foundation will be unstable and your body will be frivolous.

Li Hao was unable to absorb the elixir, so it was ineffective to take it. However, even if he could eat it, he would not choose to eat it. After all, he heard that Second Master and Feng Master never relied on elixirs. At most, they would eat some spiritual food and precious medicines full of energy to strengthen their muscles, bones, qi and blood.

Because Second Master and Feng Lao are not body cultivators, and they don't know how to spend effort on body cultivation.

Therefore, relying on external objects to increase the strength of the body is not a problem and has only benefits, but the realm of one's own cultivation is spotless and without any mixed medicinal power.

Zhao Bo smiled slightly. He knew that Li Hao didn't take it to heart, and earnestly asked:

"Many years from now, if you are still used to Miss Wushuang's personality, you can spend more time with your cousin and get closer to her. After all, she is a disciple of Qianji Sect, so you can take care of her in the future."

"Easy to say."

Li Hao agreed with a smile.

Zhao Bo sighed secretly and followed Li Hao like an old servant.

Not long after, Li Yuanzhao rushed to Shanheyuan, as if he was entering his own courtyard, and called Li Hao's name from afar.

"It's Young Master Yuanzhao." Zhao Bo looked over and a kind smile appeared on his face.

In recent years, Li Hao has been idle and has not shown any talent in martial arts, so other academies have not had much contact with Shanhe Academy.

He also saw clearly that Li Yun and his sister were becoming estranged from Li Hao.

There are only a few direct descendants of the third generation who are of similar age to Li Hao, and now only Young Master Yuanzhao is left who will come to Shanheyuan to accompany Young Master Li Hao.

It's not other people's fault for being snobbish. As the steward of Shanheyuan, Zhao Bo has access to information in all directions and has his own acquaintances and confidants in other courtyards. He knows that the reason may not just be Li Hao's.

This was because other academies heard certain rumors from the Yanbei battlefield.

After more than ten years of protracted war, many rumors have spread.

You know, although the Li family is a divine general's family with great wealth, they are not without political enemies and other jealous people in the court.

In addition, Yanbei had been at war every year, and the Li family had lost many soldiers, so naturally they had nowhere to complain as the war was not over yet.

But it is a waste of money and effort, and requires funding from the court and logistical reinforcements, all of which will give people something to blame.

Don't think that just because the generals and soldiers are away, no one in the court dares to comment. On the contrary, it still depends on the environment and people's hearts.

"Brother Hao, the dishes you asked me to buy have been purchased and delivered to Auntie's courtyard." Li Yuanzhao ran over with a smile.

Zhao Bo was surprised when he heard this and glanced at Li Hao. He didn't expect that Li Hao was already prepared. He couldn't help but reveal a bit of relief in his eyes.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Hao patted Yuan Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go over there too."

"Ah."

Zhao Bo also followed the two young masters and brought Li Hao's personal maid Qingzhi to the banquet.

The carriage swayed out of Shanheyuan, and Li Yuanzhao said that he wanted to go to Linglongyuan first. This was the residence of Si Niang, Li Yuanzhao's adoptive mother.

Li Hao naturally did not refuse and asked the personal guards in the palace who were driving the car to turn to Linglong Courtyard.

When they arrived at Linglong Courtyard, Li Yuanzhao jumped out of the carriage, asked Li Hao and Zhao Bo to wait for a while, and then rushed into the courtyard.

Not long after, Li Hao saw Li Yuanzhao slowly walking out with a graceful and dignified lady.

Si Niang is from the Xiao family, named Xiao Yujing. Her ancestors were also top-notch warriors in the Sili realm. Her husband is Li Jia Silang. It is said that on their wedding night, they were summoned to the frontier. On their wedding night, they had to abandon their bride in the boudoir and rush to the frontier.

Who would have thought that he would never return after this trip.

From then on, the fourth wife could only live as a widow, without any children.

Therefore, after Li Yuanzhao's parents died, the old lady decided to adopt Li Yuanzhao to the fourth room.

Seeing Li Hao and Zhao Bo waiting with the curtain raised in the carriage, Xiao Yujing's frowning brows darkened.

When he was a child, Li Hao remembered that Si Niang had held him in her arms and looked very kind and amiable.

But over the years, he has become more and more lonely.

And every time she saw him, she seemed a little angry. Li Hao didn't know how he had offended her.

"Didn't I tell you today that your cousin Shuang'er was coming back and asked you to prepare a gift, but you were fooling around with her again, right?"

Xiao Yujing didn't care that Li Hao was right beside her, and turned to scold Li Yuanzhao in person. Li Yuanzhao scratched his head and said naively: "Mom, Brother Hao and I went to prepare gifts and have already sent them to the courtyard of the aunt."

"What gifts have you prepared?" Xiao Yujing frowned.

"The crispy roast goose from Hongxianglou..." Li Yuanzhao immediately told the whole story.

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yujing couldn't listen any longer and said angrily:

"You are really stupid. He has been wandering around outside for a long time and even made it to the top of the Qiankun Ranking. He has eaten all kinds of delicious food. Why does he need this from you? It's just a few silver coins. Wouldn't it be shabby to give it to him?"

Li Yuanzhao glanced at Li Hao, and became more confident. He said, "Mom, what does our Li family have? Weapons and skills, just let my cousin pick them. Does she need us to prepare anything? My cousin hasn't been back to Qingzhou much in recent years, so she definitely hasn't tasted the authentic food here."

"I haven't eaten it before, but do you think I'd like to eat it?"

Xiao Yujing rolled her eyes slightly, with a beautiful and charming manner, and said unhappily:
"Whether they need it or not is one thing, but the gifts you give cannot be shabby. It's not their business if they don't need it, but at least you should be able to say you're giving it to them. If people knew you only gave them this little food and drink, they would laugh their heads off!"

Having said this, she looked towards the carriage and immediately caught sight of the gift box beside the curtain. She sneered:
"Look, what is this?"

Zhao Bo saw that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Madam Xiao, this old servant is worried that Master Hao'er might be disrespectful, so he specially prepared it for him and asked him to give it to Miss Shuang'er."

"Humph."

Xiao Yujing turned to Li Yuanzhao and said, "See? You treat him like Brother Hao, but he may not really treat you sincerely. You fooled him and made him run around in circles while you secretly prepared a generous gift."

"Now, you have nothing in your hands. What can you bring to see your cousin?"

Li Yuanzhao opened his mouth slightly and said aggrievedly: "But this is what Uncle Zhao prepared for Brother Hao, it's not Brother Hao's fault..."

"you!"

Xiao Yujing was almost so angry that she raised her hand to beat him. Did this guy get some ecstasy medicine for Li Hao? He just refused to listen?
She held back and snorted angrily, but in the end, she still took into consideration that Li Hao and Zhao Bo were nearby, so she held back her anger:

"Forget it. I've already prepared a gift for you, Zhuxiang. Give it to Yuanzhao." Xiao Yujing said.

A maid came up behind and respectfully handed Li Yuanzhao a gift box.

Li Yuanzhao was curious and wanted to open it to take a look, but Xiao Yujing glared at him, so he gave up in disappointment, lowered his head obediently, and followed his mother.

"We have our own carriage, so we don't need to join together." Xiao Yujing said indifferently to Li Hao and Zhao Bo.

"mother……"

"Shut up."

Li Hao felt a little helpless. Si Niang always seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards him, which made him feel a little baffled.

"Yuanzhao, we'll go first. You can go with your mother." Li Hao didn't want to make the little fat boy feel awkward in the middle. He winked at him and said.

Li Yuanzhao nodded immediately: "Brother Hao, we will be there soon."

At the same time, he turned sideways and smiled secretly at Li Hao behind his mother's back, revealing two white teeth.

Li Hao smiled and left with Zhao Bo.

"Mom, why don't you let me be with Brother Hao? Brother Hao is actually..."

"Shut up."

Xiao Yujing glared at him unhappily: "I told you to spend more time with Piaoxueyuan. Why do you always stay with him? He could only cultivate his body before, and now his meridians are open, but it's too late to start cultivation. Forget about these. I'm not a snobbish person. I mainly don't want you to get into trouble, do you understand?"

"what?"

Li Yuanzhao was at a loss, how did he get into trouble?

"I can't convince you. Just listen to your mother and get closer to that little girl Zhining." Xiao Yujing said in a low voice.

Li Yuanzhao was confused. He had asked his mother several times before, but she didn't say anything. He didn't ask this time either. He just pretended to be obedient and said "hmm".

……

……

"When Madam Xiao got married, the Fourth Master died on the battlefield. Madam Xiao has had some prejudices against the Li family over the years."

Inside the carriage, Uncle Zhao whispered to Li Hao, speaking very carefully.

This was originally the master's business, and servants like them were not allowed to discuss it, but he was worried that Li Hao would develop a grudge against Xiao Yujing, and that Li Hao was too young to hide anything and would get into trouble.

Li Hao nodded slightly. He also thought of this reason. After all, he could understand the resentment in the widow's heart.

He was not angry at Si Niang. After all, she often showed her disapproval to him in person and never did anything behind his back.

On the contrary, the second lady from Shuihua Courtyard always smiled kindly and asked about his well-being every time she saw him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

And with Li Yuanzhao around, Li Hao would not have any hostility towards Xiao for his sake. At least, she treated Li Yuanzhao really well.

Not long after, the carriage arrived outside Changchun Courtyard.

There were several carriages parked outside the alley here, and it was obvious that the ladies from other courtyards had arrived first.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard lively noises coming from the outer courtyard, and vaguely heard words like "My Shuang'er is so amazing". I guess several ladies were surrounding that blessed girl and praising her highly.

Li Hao walked slowly into the yard holding the gift box given by Uncle Zhao.
