From the standstill of time, across the heavens

Chapter 1447 Not being married doesn't mean not having a daughter~~
Watching the immature young man go upstairs, Hao Shuai shook his head helplessly.

Actually, Li Xiaoyao wasn't wrong.

Hao Shuai did intend to take him out to fight for justice, or to be more precise, he was just a sparring partner; Hao Shuai's real target was Zhao Ling'er.

As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles." Similarly, practicing behind closed doors is not as good as going out for real combat, which will improve your skills much faster.

Zhao Ling'er has accumulated enough cultivation level and magical power; what she lacks is practical combat experience.

This is a good opportunity to collect the Five Elemental Beads while leveling up by fighting monsters.

Anyway, there's no rush.

Otherwise, if he was really in a hurry, Hao Shuai could simply open the portal and arrive in Nanzhao Kingdom in no time.

Even if all else fails, one can simply fly on a sword or ride a Xuan Yu or Chou Diao to reach the Nanzhao Kingdom in a short time.

"Sigh~~" On the other side, the Drunken Sword Immortal also looked at the departing Li Xiaoyao and suddenly sighed.

"Are you regretting not coming sooner?!" Hao Shuai teased, seeing the Sword Immortal's expression. "You're regretting missing out on a cultivation genius like Li Xiaoyao, aren't you?!"

Surprisingly, Jiu Jianxian did not refute Hao Shuai's teasing.

Despite Hao Shuai's indifference towards Li Xiaoyao, given Li Xiaoyao's comprehension and talent, he would be a core member of any sect, capable of ensuring the sect's prosperity for a hundred years.

Such a genius, now, has missed out because he arrived a day too late!
No wonder he regrets it!
"Come on~ come on~~ stop thinking about those things, let's drink~ let's drink!!" Hao Shuai didn't want to keep rubbing salt into the wound, so he could only fill up another cup for the Sword Immortal.

After drinking several cups in a row, even the Sword Immortal, with his astonishing alcohol tolerance, had a flushed face, looking completely intoxicated.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, what are your plans next?" Seeing that he had drunk enough, Hao Shuai prepared to leave.

"I roam the world, I drink when there's wine, and I vanquish when there's a demon," the Drunken Sword Immortal said, raising his wine cup with bewildered eyes.

Alright~~
Upon hearing this, Hao Shuai knew that the Drunken Sword Immortal had lost his way on life's journey.

In fact, given the Sword Immortal's talent, his strength should theoretically be no less than that of the Sword Saint Dugu and the Lord of the Moon Worship Cult.

Unfortunately, he was troubled by love, unable to be with the one he loved, and wasted half his life in despair.

Later, he finally came to his senses and even found his daughter, but before he could even experience the joy of family life, he was stabbed to death by his own daughter.

This life is simply a series of misery piling up, it's utterly tragic.

I reckon only Li Xiaoyao could beat him!

Now that Hao Shuai has come to this world, although he doesn't intend to change the fate of some unfortunate people, since he's encountered them, why not make a change for them while he's at it!

Thinking of this, Hao Shuai said, "Fellow Daoist Mo, have you ever thought about the fact that you have a daughter?"

"What daughter? I have no daughter. I have never married in my life, so how could I have a daughter?" The Drunken Sword Immortal shook his somewhat dizzy head.

"Not being married doesn't mean you don't have a daughter!" Hao Shuai looked at the Drunken Sword Immortal with disdain.

Who would have thought that you, Sword Immortal with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be such a scumbag who would deny everything once you've done your bidding!

Pooh!
I despise you!
"Huh??" Even the Sword Immortal was dumbfounded by Hao Shuai's words.

Seeing that he still couldn't remember, Hao Shuai simply stated bluntly, "Have you forgotten that on the night the Witch King of Nanzhao married the Witch Queen, Brother Mo got drunk and... with the Holy Maiden of Nanzhao..."

"Alright~ Stop talking~~" Hao Shuai was stopped by the Drunken Sword Immortal before he could finish speaking.

Unfortunately, even if Hao Shuai didn't want to say it, he had no choice!

Because Zhao Ling'er, who had been accompanying Hao Shuai the whole time, was urging him with a gossipy look on her face: "What happened between him and the Holy Maiden?"

Hao Shuai never expected Zhao Ling'er to have such a gossipy side, proving the old saying: women are born with a gossipy heart. Faced with Zhao Ling'er's gossip, Hao Shuai could only continue, "You took advantage of your drunkenness to mess with the Holy Maiden. Later, the Holy Maiden became pregnant with your child, but her status did not allow her to give birth. In the end, the Holy Maiden insisted on giving birth to her daughter Anu, who was then given to the Southern Barbarian Sanwei to raise."

"Ah~~ Anu is actually your daughter!!" Zhao Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.

She never expected that her childhood best friend would be the daughter of this drunken old man in front of her.

This news is absolutely explosive!
It was truly explosive; it even made the person involved, the Drunken Sword Immortal, feel a buzzing in his head.

He never expected that after living for forty or fifty years, he would suddenly have a daughter.

The Sword Immortal did not suspect that Hao Shuai was deceiving him.

Not to mention that he had already witnessed Hao Shuai's unpredictable abilities, he also didn't have anything on him that Hao Shuai would covet, so the other party had no reason to lie to him.

After a long while, the Sword Immortal gradually came to his senses and hesitated before asking, "Um... is my daughter Anu still in Nanzhao?"

"What? Are you going to find your relatives?" Hao Shuai asked with a smile.

"Um... um..." The Sword Immortal rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "She's my daughter after all, I should go see her."

"At least you still have some conscience," Hao Shuai said. "She should have left Nanzhao and gone to the Central Plains, but I don't know her exact location."

"However, I can help you find her."

After saying that, Hao Shuai took out a talisman and folded it into a paper crane in a few quick movements. Then, he drew a talisman on the paper crane out of thin air.

"Take this paper crane. As long as you input your true essence, it will lead you to Anu." Hao Shuai handed the paper crane to the Sword Immortal.

The Sword Immortal snatched the paper crane, carefully put it away, and stood up to thank him, saying, "Thank you for this. Consider it a favor I owe you. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know."

After saying that, the Drunken Sword Immortal hurriedly left the inn.

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about Li Xiaoyao. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to make up for the years of neglect he had caused his daughter after seeing her.

He is not an irresponsible person; he was simply unaware of the situation at the time, but now that he knows, he will naturally not turn a blind eye.

"Brother Hao, is Anu really that uncle's daughter?" Zhao Ling'er could hardly believe it until the Sword Immortal left.

She just couldn't understand how the slovenly sword immortal could have given birth to such a beautiful girl as Anu!

"Fine~ You dare to doubt your husband? Looks like you'll have to be disciplined." Hao Shuai swept Zhao Ling'er up in a princess carry, who didn't have time to run away, and teleported back to the room.

……

Early the next morning.

Hao Shuai and Zhao Ling'er were woken up by Aunt Li's usual nagging.

Unlike yesterday's scolding, today Aunt Li's voice was full of worry and concern.

She wanted to oppose Li Xiaoyao's decision to go out and make his own way, but she also knew that Li Xiaoyao's mind was made up. Her nephew was too old to stay at home, and if she kept him, she would only make enemies!

Therefore, I could only nod in agreement and pack his luggage before he left.

Besides travel expenses and clothing, the package also contained an iron sword and a martial arts manual.

This iron sword was left by Li Xiaoyao's father, and the martial arts manual is called "Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand," which is Li Xiaoyao's father's signature skill.

Upon seeing Hao Shuai, Aunt Li bowed deeply to him, sincerely asking him to take good care of Li Xiaoyao. Only then did she reluctantly see the three of them board the passenger ship bound for Suzhou...
