The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 84 Revisiting old matters
After Li Xuanli came over, he first bowed slightly to greet the first lady He Jianlan.

Then he greeted the other sisters-in-law one by one, and said hello to the other brothers and sisters-in-law, then sat down and said with a smile:
"Shuang'er, how is your training in Qianji Sect? I heard that you have made it to the top of the Qian Ranking, that's good."

Hearing her father's praise, Li Wushuang's expression was calm, but Li Yun beside her had shining eyes and looked quite proud. Li Zhining also looked at her elder sister with sparkling eyes, as if she regarded her as her role model.

"It's just that I'm ranked at the bottom. If I could be like Uncle Jiu, who entered the Qian Ranking and won the first place in one day, that would be amazing."

She didn't mean to show off, she was just telling the truth.

When Li Xuanli heard his daughter mention Lao Jiu, his eyes changed slightly and the smile on his face faded.

That dazzling meteor-like figure back then was just as Emperor Yu said fourteen years ago, that falling light was the pain of their Li family!
Although they have nine brothers and not sisters, they are all connected to each other and are extremely united.

But later they each got married and saw each other less often, so they gradually became estranged.

Thinking back to the past, we all practiced martial arts and ate together in the compound, talked and laughed together, and avoided punishment from our father together...

Time flies.

The summer frog croaking in the courtyard that remained in my memory has long since disappeared...

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had become a little quieter, Li Wushuang also realized that she shouldn't have mentioned the Li family scar. Her pretty face changed slightly, but she said nothing more.

Li Xuanli, who was in a depressed mood, came to his senses and noticed that his daughter was silent. He then realized that she was affected by his emotions. He smiled and said casually:

"You are still too young to compete with your uncle. Your uncle reached the Heavenly Master level at the age of seventeen, and he fought his way up to the Fengxian Terrace outside Qingzhou City, where he set up a challenge to the most talented people in the world. In the end, he beat them so badly that no one dared to fight!"

Talking about his youth, Li Xuanli's face was filled with smiles, and he really missed those days when he was full of vigor and vitality.

At that time, they had the sky above their heads, their father, and their elder brother, so they could roam freely in the world and travel far and wide.

Drinking and riding a horse, traveling through the nineteen states.

But as the sky above his head collapsed, my father's soul returned to the dead river and has never been freed since then. He cannot return to the Li Family Ancestral Hall, nor can he be reincarnated.

They no longer had the leisure time to continue wandering around, and instead began to practice hard.

At the same time, he also began to shoulder the burden of the Li family, guarding the border, galloping on the battlefield, and slaying demons!

When the ladies from each courtyard heard Li Xuanli's words, there was some nostalgia in their eyes. That period of time was also when most of them first married into the Li family. It was the time when they were the most innocent and it was also the happiest time for them to get along with their husbands.

Longing emerged in Li Wushuang's eyes. Her father's few words outlined a majestic and invincible figure in her heart. That was her ninth uncle, the one she had heard about since she was a child and the one she was most proud of.

Ask the world, just this kind of arrogant demeanor, how many people in the world can do it?

Li Hao sighed inwardly, it was a pity that such a genius died young.

"The food is getting cold, let's eat first."

In the end, He Jianlan was the most rational. She withdrew her thoughts and said with a smile.

Everyone smiled, greeted each other, and started eating.

“Well, these dishes are good.”

During the meal, everyone started talking about other things and stopped talking about the sad memories. It seemed that they had reached a tacit understanding in this regard.

Li Xuanli ate a few dishes and praised them, saying, "Shuang'er, you rarely come back, try it too. This bamboo-scented black dragon liver is quite good. It tastes the same as it did more than ten years ago, and it hasn't changed at all. I haven't had it for many years."

"Oh?"

Li Wushuang, who had always maintained a cold expression before, now showed a little bit of the naivety of a little girl. She picked up the food with her chopsticks with some curiosity and tasted it carefully.

"Yeah, it's really good." Li Wushuang smiled.

Li Xuanli looked at his sister-in-law and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law has a crush on Shuang'er. The bamboo-scented black dragon liver from Cuihu Courtyard is a specialty of Qingzhou. I haven't eaten it for so long that I almost forgot about it."

He Jianlan smiled slightly, glanced at Li Hao who was eating and drinking, and said with a smile:
"I didn't prepare this. Hao'er and Yuanzhao bought it together. They said Shuang'er had been away for many years and must not have tasted Qingzhou's delicacies, so they bought it specially."

Li Xuanli was slightly stunned, looked at Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao on the other side, and asked: "Did you buy this?"

Li Hao glanced at him and nodded, showing great respect for his uncle who had fought bravely on the battlefield.

Li Yuanzhao smiled and said, "Fifth uncle, Brother Hao knows food the best. The delicious dishes you just ate were all bought by Brother Hao. There are several more dishes, which will be served to you later."

"Oh?"

Li Xuanli was surprised. He naturally had an impression of Li Hao, the only son of his seventh brother and Qingqing. He had attended the hundred-day banquet.

Later I heard that this little fellow's body was damaged by cultivation, but it seemed to have been cleared up on its own. It could also be that the Second Master had thought of some way to help him clear it up. In any case, he was able to cultivate again.

It’s a pity that I delayed the foundation building and hemolysis, so my aptitude is inevitably inferior to others. In addition, I started late and wasted time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart, and his eyes looked at Li Hao more gently:

"Hao'er is thoughtful. I heard that your father will be back soon and the war in Yanbei is over. I have submitted the report to the court. I believe you will be able to see him soon."

Then he said to his daughter beside him: "Shuang'er, why don't you thank Xiaohao quickly? This thoughtful gift is no less valuable than any other gift."

Li Hao's heart moved when he heard this. This Fifth Uncle had not come before and arrived last, but his words this time had a special meaning. It seemed that he had used his divine sense to investigate this place a long time ago.

He immediately felt a liking for this uncle, as he thought this uncle was obviously a reasonable man.

For the other party's sake, Li Hao no longer cared about what happened just now and pretended nothing had happened. If he looked at Li Wushuang for a second longer at this time, the other party would most likely feel embarrassed.

On the other side, Li Wushuang's face was a little strange when she heard the old lady's words. After hearing her father's words, she suddenly felt that the dragon liver in her mouth was a little difficult to swallow. She glanced at Li Hao, but saw that he was picking up food and didn't seem to be waiting for her thanks.

In her eyes, this attitude was indifferent and a little arrogant.

Her face turned cold, she took two bites of the remaining half of the dragon liver from the bowl and put it on the table, then turned to other dishes and said:

"Dad, I've already thanked him. Besides, I don't really like dragon liver. It's too greasy."

Li Xuanli was startled, his face suddenly darkened, he put down his chopsticks, stared at her and said:

"Shuang'er, your father has taught you since you were young that you should be honest and open-minded. You just came back, what prejudice do you have against Hao'er? Just because he gave you a bottle of elixir just now?!"

At this moment, he no longer concealed the fact that he had noticed this place a long time ago.

As he became angry, everyone else at the table couldn't help but put down their chopsticks. Gao Qingqing knew her husband's temper and found it strange because Shuang'er was not like this before.

However, the situation was a bit awkward at the moment. If he asked his daughter to apologize again, with everyone in the room watching, he would probably hurt the child's self-esteem.

He Jianlan saw that the situation was a little awkward, and said softly: "Xuanli, Shuang'er just came back, don't be angry. Shuang'er, do you have any opinion about Hao'er?"

Li Wushuang didn't expect that her father would scold her in public. She suddenly felt inexplicably wronged. She had not been home for a long time. Now that she was back, the father and daughter had not met for several times, but her father actually scolded her for an outsider.

She bit her lip and glared at Li Hao: "You should ask him about this. He bullied my brother while I was away. Dad, you have been recuperating in the Zen Mountain, so you don't know about this."

"Huh?" Li Xuanli was stunned. Li Hao bullied his own child?
Li Yun's expression also changed slightly, and he suddenly became a little nervous.

When the eldest sister just came back, the three siblings naturally had a lot to talk about. When Li Wushuang smiled and asked casually, "Has anyone bullied you over the years?"

He took the opportunity to tell her about how Li Hao had beaten him when he was a child. It was a bit embarrassing to tell his mother about this, but when he told this elder sister, he felt like he had found someone to lean on.

He thought about getting it back on his own, but every time he saw Li Hao, he felt inexplicably scared.

When Li Wushuang heard this, he naturally remembered Li Hao's name and thought of finding an opportunity to deal with him.

So this is the reason... Li Hao was speechless. He glanced at the blushing and nervous Li Yun. He didn't expect that this kid still held such a grudge. It seemed that he didn't beat him too hard at the beginning, but too lightly. He actually dared to remember it.

"Yun'er, when did this happen?" Gao Qingqing's face changed slightly and she asked hurriedly.

Li Yunhe had never been stared at by so many elders before, his face turned red immediately, and he lowered his head slightly: "It was several years ago."

"When exactly?"

"Five or six years ago..."

When everyone heard this, they immediately realized it was a misunderstanding. Five or six years ago?

At that time, Li Hao and Li Yun were only eight or nine years old. This was at most children's mischief, how could it be called bullying?

What's more, Li Hao seemed to be in a useless state at that time, his meridians were not open, and he had not started practicing.

Li Yun has been training in the martial arts field for several years.

Huh? Yes! How can I still be bullied?
When everyone thought of this, they suddenly became suspicious and looked at Li Hao, then at Li Yun.

Gao Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't the kind of bullying she had imagined. It was most likely just a fight between kids due to a quarrel. The injuries were probably not as serious as those in the sparring in the martial arts arena.

"You kid, it's been such a long time since this happened, why are you still holding it in your heart and even complaining to your sister?" Gao Qingqing said unhappily. Her son was good in every way except that he was not ambitious enough. He did not learn his father's magnanimity and broad-mindedness.

The other ladies all chuckled. Liu Yuerong smiled and said, "Yun'er, five or six years ago, your brother Hao hadn't even started practicing yet. Was it you who bullied him, or was it he who bullied you?"

This seemed like a joke, but Li Hao could immediately sense a sense of temptation.

Of course, it could also be that he was just overthinking it.

Li Yun's face became even more flushed and he felt ashamed. But at that time, he really couldn't beat Li Hao, as the other party was much stronger than him.

"I was careless."

"He attacked me by surprise and was very strong." Li Yun said with a red face.

Hearing Li Yun's words, everyone burst into laughter, thinking that Li Hao had practiced physical training earlier, so he would naturally be stronger.

Looking at Li Yun's blushing face, you can tell that the kid was thinking about the fact that he was practicing in the martial arts field but was bullied by Li Hao, who did not practice at all, and it was embarrassing to talk about it out loud.

As a result, he secretly told the story to his sister whom he hadn't seen for many years, and the embarrassing thing was revealed to everyone.

"Humph, it's you who always thinks about Brother Hao's fiancée."

Li Yuanzhao snorted when he heard what Li Yun said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his mother's gaze on him, and her eyes said three words: Shut up.

Li Xuanli realized that it was a misunderstanding. He glared at Li Yun and said:
"You useless thing, you're complaining to your sister about such a small matter. If you're a man of seven feet tall and you don't agree, just go to the martial arts arena and have a fight with Hao'er. What's the point of crying and yelling here?"

His harsh reprimand made Li Yun even more ashamed.

Gao Qingqing heard him scolding her son like this, rolled her eyes at him, changed the subject, and asked Li Hao:

"Speaking of which, Hao'er, when will your fiancée come back? She is a disciple of the Sword Saint. When she comes back, let her spar with Shuang'er."
