Chapter 1441 Chapter 346: The Trial Ends (Part 3)
“Now, all those who passed the trial, gather at Forget Heart Hall!”
The Immortal Guard Commander ordered.
Upon hearing this, Li Hao and the others at the mountaintop immediately stood up and proceeded down the steps of the mountain path.
“The second trial is over, and next is the battle!”
Chu Tianhuang walked beside Li Hao, with a hint of eager anticipation and fighting spirit in his voice.
Though he was a prince, adept in schemes, deep down he remained a combat prodigy, pursuing cultivation.
Beside him, Boya Xuejian also smiled and said, “I wonder if we’ll come across each other, but as for Haotian, this ascent has seen very few True Immortals. Among the True Immortals, you must be one of the top. The top ten will definitely include you.”
He looked at Li Hao with eyes full of unabashed admiration, greatly valuing Li Hao.
Li Hao smiled without false modesty, also believing in his heart that he must vie for a place in the top ten.
“Indeed.”
Chu Tianhuang’s gaze also fell on Li Hao as he smiled and said, “Then I’ll strive to rise to the top in the Immortal Monarch Realm category, hoping we’ll both meet in the Primordial True Realm!”
“Agreed.”
Boya Xuejian laughed, like spring branches blooming from ice.
The downhill path was exceptionally easy, and as they passed the first Dao Pavilion below the peak, a gentle voice came:
“Brother Tianhuang.”
Chu Tianhuang looked over and saw it was his Imperial Sister, Chu Yueli.
Li Hao also noticed the Imperial Princess, who had previously fallen into a trance in the pavilion but had now recovered.
When Li Hao glanced over, Chu Yueli’s eyes also landed on him. Seeing Li Hao walking down with Chu Tianhuang, she was momentarily surprised, then her eyes sparkled brightly.
“You also reached the top?”
She stepped forward to ask.
Li Hao, seeing her not as inexplicable as before, held no great impression of her and turned away, not responding.
Chu Yueli, seeing Li Hao’s distant manner, changed her expression slightly, feeling somewhat annoyed, but it quickly faded. As an Imperial Princess, she had her share of poise, especially realizing Li Hao shone brightly with immense potential. She was particularly tolerant towards him.
“I was presumptuous before. I hope you can let bygones be bygones.”
Chu Yueli bowed her head to Li Hao.
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and said calmly, “You go your way, I’ll go mine, nothing much to say.”
Chu Yueli’s fingers clenched slightly, but she smiled and said, “I’ve agreed to the marriage.”
As soon as she said this, Chu Tianhuang was taken aback, his brow instinctively furrowing.
This person he wanted to win over actually had a marriage agreement with his Imperial Sister?
If that’s the case, it involves much more, and his thoughts began to churn.
Beside him, Boya Xuejian also looked at Li Hao in surprise, evidently not expecting that Li Hao would seek allegiance with the Yan and Chu Royal Family.
Li Hao, hearing Chu Yueli’s words, was somewhat speechless, rolling his eyes, and said, “I did not agree. After the battle is over, I’ll speak with Emperor Chu.”
“What?”
Chu Yueli was stunned, clearly not expecting that after her humble approach, the other party was still angry, and seemingly serious.
Her expression changed slightly, holding back her anger, and said softly, “It was a misunderstanding earlier. You can go your way henceforth, I won’t interfere, but I think we might try. The cultivation path is long. My father is Emperor Chu, he values you and will provide you with immense cultivation support.”
Li Hao frowned, looking at her in confusion. What was this Imperial Princess thinking? Previously opposed in every way, now humbly compromising?
“I don’t lack cultivation resources. If it’s only for this reason that your father is willing to help, then I’d rather not.”
Li Hao said calmly, stating this relatively diplomatically. After all, they were still within the realm of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, and offending the Imperial Family too severely wasn’t wise.
Chu Yueli looked grim, but she quickly regained composure, gazing deeply at Li Hao and said, “We’ll talk after the battle. Don’t think that because your potential is high, you can overlook everything. I hope you reconsider seriously.”
With that, she didn’t give Li Hao a chance to speak, turned away, and even ignored a farewell to Chu Tianhuang beside her.
Chu Tianhuang, hearing the conversation between the two, internally breathed a sigh of relief. As his Imperial Sister walked away, he already guessed a few things.
He sighed inwardly, realizing his father was indeed a strategist, already having betrothed his Imperial Sister to Li Hao.
He had a fair understanding of this Imperial Sister; among the many princesses, she was top-notch in talent, with fewer than three surpassing her.
Boya Xuejian, having heard the conversation, also had an understanding. Previously, Emperor Chu had also mentioned marriage to him, but he had rejected it outright. It seemed Li Hao was facing a similar dilemma.
“Brother Haotian, it’s alright, don’t think too much. The sky is vast for birds to fly. The True Realm is large, and a man’s heart is on his sword!”
Boya Xuejian patted Li Hao’s shoulder, lightly laughing as he said. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Li Hao understood his meaning, his face breaking into a smile again, “This calls for a big drink.”
“Haha, I wonder when the battle will start. Once this trial is over, let’s have a drink.”
Boya Xuejian laughed.
Chu Tianhuang noticed this cool and stern youth didn’t seem to be close to him, though he’d hinted multiple times to befriend Boya Xuejian. The latter seemed oblivious and maintained deliberate distance.
As they descended the steps, Li Hao soon saw Yue Xi and Gu Yan.
They were waiting on the steps, seemingly awaiting something.
Seeing Li Hao descending with Chu Tianhuang, Boya Xuejian, and others, they immediately realized Li Hao had reached the top.
“You reached the top?”
Yue Xi ran up, asking with surprise and delight.
Li Hao saw her excited demeanor and suddenly found this fellow disciple, whom he had little interaction with, quite endearing.
“Yes.”
He smiled and said to the two, “Let’s go together.”
“Okay.”
The two nodded and kept pace beside Li Hao.
