The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 141
Ling Han only thought for a moment, and managed to figure out the key factor in the matter.
Li Hao successfully entered Hu Yang Academy, and practically guaranteed a bright future in front of him. The Zhu Clan had to worry that Li Hao would undergo a change of heart after witnessing the dazzling lifestyle of the Imperial City, and so did Zhu Xue Yi following him here.
However, the couple seemed to have finally broken through the last layer separating them, and their relationship naturally went smoothly. When Ling Han saw this, he nodded internally, happy for them as well.
"Sister Ling, I continue to search for you after I enter the Academy, yet cannot find you at all," said Li Hao, slightly guilty.
Ling Han laughed loudly and joked, "You might not spend too much time searching, right? It's always a pity with Xue Yi, and hence didn't manage to find me, right?"
Li Hao's face turned red. The feeling between her and Zhu Xue Yi was just a kind of vague, indistinct affection, and none of them dared to speak about their feelings openly. After reaching the Imperial City, the two of them only had each other, and were very far from home, so their affection naturally increased drastically, thus, they want nothing but to be attached to each other at all times.
"Sister Ling, you are always a teaser!" Zhu Xue Yi said, acting like a spoiled child, spreading the awkwardness that Li Hao felt.
Li Hao smiled faintly. Li Hao was slightly wood in character and slow in speaking, while Zhu Xue Yi was much more lively. The two of them would be able to compensate for each other's flaws.
"Yes, stupid, poor?" it was at this moment that the light of 'yi' sounded from behind them, and a young man quickly approached them. It was the young master of the Kong Clan. When he saw Ling Han, a cold grin appeared on his face, and he said, "It just so happens that I see you here!"
He had been tricked out of a hundred silver coins by Ling Han. Although this meager amount of money was meaningless to him, the crux of the matter was that he was not happy. However, due to Xu Ke Xin's sudden interception, he did not manage to find Ling Han to settle this grudge.
"Young Master Kong, who is this man?" a well-dressed woman leaned in and into the arms of Young Master Kong, throwing a timid look at him.
"Oh, that's stupid," Young Master Kong swung his hand, looking extremely insulting.
"Who do you call a poor fool?" Li Hao had the short temper of a young man and could not help but retaliate.
Young Master Kong glanced at Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi, and a disdainful expression appeared on his face, as he said, "You've just arrived in the Imperial City, haven't you?"
"How do you know?" Li Hao exclaimed.
"Haha, just look at the air of the rustic hick around you, I'm sure you must be out of a secluded place, out of town!" the disdain towards Young Master Kong's face deepened, and when he looked at Zhu Xue Yi, he said, "However, this village girl doesn't look too bad. If dressed properly, there may still be little benefit to playing with it. . "
"How dare you!" there was no way Li Hao could tolerate his lover being humiliated like this, and immediately raised his fist with a punch towards Young Master Kong.
"Aah!" the beautiful girl immediately shouted.
"Exit!" Young Master Kong pushed the beautiful girl to one side and raised his hand to accept Li Hao's attack.
"Peng, peng, peng." They both came with a punch.
Li Hao was at the fourth layer of the Element Gathering Tier, while Young Master Kong was at the fifth layer, so theoretically, Young Master Kong should be stronger. However, his cultivation level was clearly built through the use of various resources, so his martial arts foundation was not stable at all. From the look of things, Young Master Kong's battle prowess was only four Stars.
Thus, they are both in a state of series. Their battle was fierce, yet no one could win.
"Hahaha, never thought that a village boy would be able to have such a little ability!" Young Master Kong said with a loud laugh, "Village boy, how about you lend me your lady to play for a few days? Don't think it's a loss for you. With my careful teaching, your women will be able to learn many different moves, and let village boys like you feel something new. "
Hearing him once again insulting his wife, Li Hao's eyes reddened. He drew his sword in his fury, and aimed a slash towards Young Master Kong.
Li Hao roared furiously, and a glint of Saber Qi darted like an angry dragon, dancing towards Young Master Kong.
Young Master Kong's cultivation level of the fifth layer Element Gathering Tier was built by force, so how could he possibly defend himself against Saber Qi? Instantly, a panicked expression appeared on his face. In a few moves, Saber Qi Li Hao had caused some injuries on his body, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Stop stopping!" he exclaimed in fear, quickly calling for a truce. He is not a person with a persistent will.
"I'm sorry!" Li Hao drew his sword, and shouted at Young Master Kong.
Young Master Kong's face turned pale. For him to truly apologize to a country hick.. .if this was known to others, what would happen to his reputation? But this country's hick is definitely a bad boy. If he were to clash with her directly, it was very likely that she would suffer.
He had just for a while humbled himself considering the situation when his eyes swept over the area, and instantly, joy appeared on his face. He called out, "Sister Tan, save me!"
A tall, slender man, slowly approached them. This newcomer was quite handsome, and every step he took was filled with confidence. His name was Tan Wei Qi, and he was a young clan from one of the middle-class clans of the Imperial City.
In the Imperial City, there were only eight Great Clans — to qualify as a Great Clan, the clan needed to have an elite Tier Pedestal Tier to keep an eye on something. There were more middle-class clans, as they only needed the elite Spiritual Ocean Tier in their ranks. Meanwhile, there were countless minor clans, and they only needed a Tier Gushing Spring martial artist to qualify as a minor clan.
While Young Master Kong was respectfully accosted by the other 'young masters', the truth was that he was only from a small clan. The Kong clan was heavily involved in business and trade, so even though the clan did not produce many elite martial artists, they had great wealth and were even richer than a large number of middle-class clans.
Thus, Young Master Kong knew quite a number of young masters from the various middle-class clans. This is also his capital.
At first, Tan Wei Qi did not recognize Young Master Kong, as the latter actually cut an sorry figure at this moment. It was only when he took a closer look did he recognize the latter. He could not help but be surprised, and asked, "Kong Wen Hui?"
"Sister Tan, it's me!" Kong Wen Hui replied, scowling miserably.
"Why do you look so sad?" Tan Wei Qi could not help but laugh, as he had discovered that Kong Wen Hui's opponent was only at the fourth layer of the Element Gathering Tier.
Kong Wen Hui glared sharply at Li Hao, and said, "This is this country. Just because he had managed to form a flash of Saber Qi, he actually dared to become so arrogant in the Imperial City."
"Oh?" Tan Wei Qi glanced at Li Hao, and a hint of disdain appeared on his face. He could tell with the view that this was an outsider. The rustic atmosphere of the countryside practically hit his face.
As members of one of the Imperial City clans, whether it was Kong Wen Hui or Tan Wei Qi, both of them had a natural arrogance and arrogance, both of which had a natural arrogance, and looked down on anyone who came from outside the Imperial City.
"Village, kneel down, and kowtow to apologize!" Tan Wei Qi immediately said darkly to Li Hao, without even asking about how the conflict between the two of them had begun.
He would naturally have no qualms about doing so. What background could a villager in the Imperial City have?
Li Hao did not dare to be the slightest careless. The pressure coming from this fellow was far beyond the pressure he felt from Kong Wen Hui. The first one was at least at the late stage of the Element Gathering Tier. Even though his Saber Qi could forcibly increase his battle prowess by other Stars, he was still not comparable to the seventh layer Element Gathering Tier and above.
. . . Unless Tan Wei Qi was the same as Kong Wen Hui, it only had a stable baseless cultivation level as support.
"Only the fourth layer of an Element Gathering Tier martial artist. I will be able to dominate you with one finger!" Tan Wei Qi humped coldly, and said haughtily, "I'm at the ninth layer of the Element Collection Level!"
Li Hao's expression changed drastically. Even if this newcomer's cultivation level was also without a proper foundation as support, the ninth layer of the Element Collection Level would still have at least seven Battle Star battle prowess, though, and still in a position to completely dominate him.
"Sister Hao, let's just forget it!" Zhu Xue Yi spoke up. Although Ling Han, based on his current battle prowess, had nothing to fear for martial artists at the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier, this was still the Imperial City, after all. Who knows what kind of background these people came from?
