The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 85: Teaching Li Wushuang a Lesson (Thanks to 'Rendering, Xiaoyu' for the leader award)
Li Hao saw Wu Niang bringing the topic to himself, he smiled and didn't care:
"Xue'er should be back in about half a year."

The other ladies did not let Li Yun continue to be embarrassed, and they all changed the topic to a new one.

"That Xue'er kid is also a ninth-level combat body, right?"

"How clever he was, that year..."

With a few words from you and I, the previous little dispute was covered up.

Li Hao was calm and composed, chatting and laughing with the ladies, talking about the past. On the other side, Li Yun was embarrassed, and he secretly glanced at his father from time to time. Seeing that his father had put away his anger and smiled with satisfaction while chatting and laughing with Li Hao, he felt relieved, but inexplicably, a little disappointed.

At this moment, he felt someone touching his nervous palm under the table. He looked down and found that it was his sister next to him.

Li Zhining smiled at Li Yun and immediately picked up some food for him. This action made him feel warm inside...

Gao Qingqing glanced at Li Hao, who was acting calmly, then looked at her own son, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Apart from cultivation, his son was indeed inferior to Li Hao in all aspects. Li Hao's precocity and understanding were already well known in the mansion. The only shortcoming was that he had missed out on cultivation in his early years.

"Shuang'er has made it to the top of the list. Now that she has returned home, what plans do she have for the future?"

Halfway through the conversation, Liu Yuerong asked casually.

Li Wushuang glanced at the boy opposite her who was two years younger than her but was chatting and laughing calmly. She stretched out her chopsticks and subconsciously reached for the plate of dragon liver, but with her years of kendo wrist control ability, she easily changed the direction and picked up the dish next to it.

Putting the dish back into her mouth, she said as she ate, "I don't have any plans, I just want to have a sparring match with cousin Qian Feng."

Many ladies' eyes were drawn to these words, but they seemed not to have heard anything and continued to eat, drink and chat.

Liu Yuerong's expression did not change, and she continued to smile as she said, "I heard that Qianfeng has just come down from Wuliang Mountain and will be back home soon. I'll let you guys compete with each other then. Back then, Xuanli and Tiangang used to chase each other all over the yard..."

Li Xuanli smiled bitterly: "Second sister-in-law, these are all embarrassing things that happened when we were young. Don't mention them, don't mention them."

The dinner gradually came to an end and the night grew darker.

The seven or eight dishes that Li Hao asked Yuanzhao to buy, as well as the other subsequent dishes prepared by the aunt, were served one after another and were all eaten up.

Li Wushuang also ate a lot. He didn't know which dishes were bought by Li Hao, he just felt that they were delicious.

Li Hao naturally had no interest in exposing it. After all, this would only happen once. From the moment the dragon liver was put on the table, it was impossible for him to give the other party any food or drinks as gifts.

At most, when she gets married in the future, you can give her a small gift as a token of your appreciation.

After eating and drinking, everyone left Changchun Courtyard one after another, and no further friction occurred afterwards.

Li Hao said goodbye to all the ladies and returned to Shanheyuan with Zhao Bo and Qingzhi.

On the other side, Li Xuanli returned to Piaoxue Courtyard with his wife, daughter and son.

After the three children entered the house, Gao Qingqing pulled her husband, who had followed her, to the back path and said angrily:

"How could you say that about Yun'er at the table just now? He is your child, and so is Shuang'er. She just came back, and you said that about her. It hurts the child so much!"

Li Xuanli was stunned, thought for a moment, and sighed, "It was their fault in the first place. Yun'er is not to mention, he is too petty, if he continues like this, he will not be able to achieve great things in the future. Shuang'er is the same, she has been practicing with Taoist Qianji for many years, and her cultivation has made good progress, but why is she so reckless?"

"She is eager to protect her brother. Isn't it good for siblings to live in harmony?" Gao Qingqing said unhappily.

Li Xuanli thought about it and said with a smile, "That's true."

"You..." Gao Qingqing was speechless. The men in the Li family were indeed all rough and uncouth.

Li Xuanli sensed his wife's dissatisfaction and said helplessly:

"Then I can't say that to Hao'er. Fourteen years ago, my seventh brother had just finished his campaign, and I happened to be injured during those years. Otherwise, the affairs of Yanbei should have fallen on my shoulders, but ended up being shouldered by my seventh brother. Now, Old Seven and Qingqing have been fighting in Yanbei for many years, and you and I both know the hardships. Am I really going to teach his son a lesson here?"

Gao Qingqing was speechless, but she naturally knew this was the truth.

Li Xuanli continued, "Besides, Hao'er is not wrong. You saw how smart Hao'er is during the dinner. He can talk freely in front of his elders without any shyness. His words are neither impolite nor annoying. It is really rare for someone to have such a temperament at such a young age. It's a pity that he can't practice. Otherwise, our Shuang'er might not be able to compare with him."

Gao Qingqing's anger, which had just subsided, suddenly jumped up again when she heard his praise and comparison.

He flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Then go with your Hao'er!"

Having said that, he walked into the house.

Li Xuanli was stunned and puzzled. Did I say something wrong again? Why are you angry again?

Another place is in the Shuihua Courtyard.

Liu Yuerong returned to the courtyard and just as she sat on the couch, she snorted angrily and slapped her hand on the coffee table:
"Little girl, you are going to be married in the future, yet you still want to compete with Qian Feng and try to compete for the seat of the True Dragon. You don't even consider your own abilities!"

The girl at the table said she wanted to spar with each other, but how could she not hear what the other party was thinking? And she happened to come back at this time, so didn't she want to compete?

Although the throne of the Li family has always been held by the male descendants for thousands of years, it has also been given to women, but that was hundreds of years ago.

The woman also never married, and always managed the family business, and eventually became a famous female general of Dayu.

Could it be that the little girl wants to emulate her ancestors?

"Hmph, you are just at the Divine Wandering Realm, you don't know your own limitations..." Liu Yuerong thought of something and smiled again.

Beside her, the old housekeeper who had been following all the way lowered her head and dared not say a word, but her eyes showed a hint of sigh and sadness.

Once upon a time, when the ladies from each courtyard first arrived, everyone lived in harmony and loved each other, and there was no conflict among the nine courtyards.

But now it has quietly changed.

When did this situation start? The old woman had served the Li family for many years and could still vaguely remember some of it.

It seems that since Li Jiadalang and Sanlang died in battle one after another, that happy time disappeared.

……

……

The next day.

Li Hao was waiting on horseback on the path beside the mansion. Not long after, he heard the sound of horse hooves from behind.

"Brother Hao." Li Yuanzhao called out with a smile, riding his horse to Li Hao's side, and the two went to Tan Palace side by side.

"Did you eat enough yesterday?"

"I'm almost full."

"Haha."

"Brother Hao, my mother has a sharp tongue, please don't mind it..." Li Yuanzhao said after thinking for a while.

Li Hao waved his hand: "Brothers, don't mention these things. I won't blame your mother."

Li Yuanzhao was overjoyed and relieved: "I knew Brother Hao was generous."

Li Hao smiled.

Li Yuanzhao thought about what happened at the dinner party yesterday and sighed, "Auntie and the others were praising cousin Wushuang, but they didn't know that you, Hao, have already surpassed her in cultivation. So, Hao, why didn't you say anything last night?"

Li Hao pulled the reins casually, letting the horse walk happily. "What's the point of saying this? Are you trying to steal the limelight from a kid? That's too childish."

Li Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately started laughing. It was indeed his brother Hao. This was exactly the feeling he had.

"If my cousin knew that you called her a child, she would probably be furious."

"You're a child too."

"Brother Hao, you..."

"Haha."

Li Hao laughed.

Li Yuanzhao was somewhat helpless, but having been with Li Hao for a long time since childhood, he did not find this strange, and said:
"However, the news about your cultivation level, Brother Hao, will surely be known to Auntie and the others soon."

Li Hao nodded and didn't care.

When Uncle Fu returns from Cangyu City in the next two days, the news will probably spread.

There isn't much time left for peace and quiet.

Fortunately, Cangyu City is in Qizhou, which is the territory of the Xia family. There are hundreds of cities in the state, and the monster disaster did not cause too many casualties, so the news did not cause much sensation.

In addition, the Li family's attention has been on Yanbei in recent years, and the few remaining people are scattered in other territories guarded by the Li family, so they are not so sensitive to news from other places.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Hao pulled the reins, and the Red Blood Horse was alert and stopped where it was.

I saw a snow-white figure standing under the shade of a tree on the path ahead. Judging from the outline of the figure, wasn’t it Li Wushuang?
Li Yuanzhao narrowed his eyes, recognized the other person's face, and his face changed: "Brother Hao, it's my cousin, she...she didn't hear what we just said, right?"

"It doesn't matter whether you hear it or not."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and frowned, feeling that these little guys were a bit of a headache, but he still rode his horse over.

The person who is waiting for you on purpose cannot be avoided.

When the sound of horse hooves got closer, Li Wushuang turned around. He had obviously been paying attention to Li Hao and the others, and his expression was cold:
"Yesterday's dinner was held with all the aunts present. I don't want to argue with you. I won't let you bully my brother just like that."

“Sister Wushuang, that happened many years ago, and it was Li Yun who provoked Brother Hao first.” Li Yuanzhao said hurriedly.

Li Wushuang glanced at him coldly: "Shut up."

Then he said to Li Hao: "You are a few months older than my brother. How did you bully my brother back then? Today I will fight back on my brother's behalf. You'd better not resist, otherwise I may not be able to stop you."

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh and said, "I spanked that kid's butt. Are you going to spank me too?"

Li Wushuang was stunned, his face slightly cold: "If I don't spank you, I'll spank you in the mouth!"

After saying that, he suddenly took a step forward and galloped across the distance of more than ten meters in an instant, wanting to wave his hand to whip Li Hao on horseback.

Seeing her palm brushing his face, Li Hao leaned back slightly, then raised his hand and grabbed her, just like the force unloading in Tai Chi, pulling her body off balance, and with the power of controlling objects, he pressed her onto the horse's back.

"you!"

Li Wushuangcheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.

"You hit me on the mouth? If it weren't for the fact that you are a member of the Li family, you would be in trouble."

Li Hao snorted coldly, then raised his hand and slapped her hard on the butt, whipping her several times.

"Avenge your brother, eh? I didn't hit him too hard at first!"
