Follow the path of Dao from infancy

"How much longer will you indulge Hao Er? If you interfere again, don't blame me for confining you to the Listening Rain Tower in the name of the True Dragon!"

On hearing these words, Li Muxiu's eyes bulged with rage, and his body trembled violently.

"You dare to confine me? Is this how you run the Li Family!"

At this moment, Li Hao fell into silence.

The matters of Heavenly Gate Pass, I had also heard from the Second Master before.

Whenever mentioned, it couldn't help but bring sighs.

It was the most dangerous place guarded by the Li Family for Dayu.

However, according to the Second Master, in recent years, the casualties of the Li Family's children there, the accelerated extension of the Mo River, the external turmoil, and so on, it seemed that Emperor Yu was already contemplating abandoning that place.

To retract the troops for defense.

This news, Li Tian Gang before my eyes most likely knew as well, hence why he dared to speak of withdrawing the troops of the Li Family.

Even if he couldn't hold it and had to abandon it, the Li Family would at most bear some scolding and punishment, but would not face severe punishment, after all, Emperor Yu already harbored that intention.

Seeing Li Hao silent, Li Tian Gang couldn't help but sneer:

"What, is that all the backbone you have?"

Li Hao looked up at him, and suddenly, a voice reached his ear, causing a slight change in his expression. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"Fine, you said it, three years, I will guard for the Li Family for three years, after three years, everything I have eaten, drunk, used, including the blood flowing in my body, we will be even!"

Seeing Li Hao agree, Li Muxiu hastily said, "Hao Er, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't need to pay with your life for those years of food and drink!!"

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly, yes, why should he repay with his life?

Who could have expected that the small kindness of the past would require a repayment a thousand, ten thousand times over!

It was just that, deep down, he was thoroughly weary and unwilling to be bound by even the slightest fetter.

"You beast, you really dare to agree?"

Li Tian Gang said furiously, "Do you even know what you're saying? What will you use to defend it? With your Heavenly Human Realm's cultivation level? You might die before even stepping into Heavenly Gate Pass!"

Li Hao coldly replied, "I'd rather die out there than here!"

"You!" Li Tian Gang was choked up with anger, unable to utter a word.

"I have already agreed, so step aside!"

Li Hao didn't waste any more words and said coldly.

Li Tian Gang stood frozen in place, momentarily at a loss for words.

But Li Hao simply stepped past him, and then, amidst the astonished cries and urgent calls of the crowd, he crossed that threshold.

He had crossed that threshold so many wanted to enter!

With that step, it meant that from then on, Li Hao was no more of this world.

The crowd stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to say or do.

The young man's silhouette was so resolute, so decisive.

Nobody had expected that this father and son would be so obstinate and stubborn.

"Hao Er..."

"Hao!"

The crowd couldn't help but call out, but the young man's figure did not pause; step by step, he walked down the stairs of the Divine General Mansion's main gate.

Li Tian Gang suddenly turned around, staring at that departing silhouette, his face ashen:

"You will regret it!"

This voice reached the young man's ears, but he showed no reaction.

Li Muxiu watched in a daze, suddenly feeling that the young man, once gone, seemed as if he would never return.

Just like Li Hao had said, from then on, he was no longer a Li.

He had forsaken that surname, the most prestigious after the Royal Family, below heaven.

In this winter, he departed.

Outside the Divine General Mansion, Song Yufeng, Song Qiumo, and many apprentices from White Hall all heard this conversation.

They all watched in astonishment at the young man who was leaving the Divine General Mansion.

They had come to plead for Li Hao, but never expected that the greatest genius of the Divine General Mansion for hundreds of years would break away from this divine abode today.

They wanted to persuade him, but did not know how to start.

The dialogue between the father and son left them feeling a chill.

Suddenly, a figure stepped forward from the crowd, saying to Li Hao:

"Brother Li Hao, have a good journey."

Li Hao looked over and saw that it was Prince Jiang Hanxing.

The prince was plainly dressed, without any luxurious royal attire, and had previously blended into the crowd.

But at this moment, he stepped forward openly, and if an observant person were to take notice, they would surely recognize his face and status.

For someone of his status to get involved in the internal affairs of the Divine General Mansion obviously wasn't good.

But he did it anyway.

Their eyes met, and Li Hao knew that the other was willing to do so.

But he did not engage in much conversation, merely giving a cool nod, seemingly distant, after all, his current status was not to be flaunted.

Jiang Hanxing watched Li Hao's retreating figure, and then suddenly spoke out loud:

"Brother Li Hao, do you remember the poem you recited that day in the brothel?"

"Let there be no worries about finding a confidant ahead!"

"In this world, who doesn't recognize you!"
