I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

A boy's blush speaks louder than any sweet words.

Song Yuqi quickly explained what had happened; it wasn't really a big deal.

It was nothing more than the Lantern Festival that year, when the lights were dim.

Looking back suddenly, a fleeting glimpse of beauty.

After all, she is the eldest princess, beautiful and with a good temperament. It's normal for a young man like Song Yuqi to be attracted to her.

"But don't worry, senior. If there is any conflict with your plan, don't worry about it."

"Everything will be based on my senior's plan. Whoever my senior tells me to marry, I will marry."

Seeing Song Yuqi's confident assurance, Li Hao was at a loss for words.

On the contrary, he's always been the type who'll punish anyone who wrongs him, and if someone respects him, he'll punish their whole family... Well, let's talk about that later.

If we get along well, we're brothers.

Song Yushu was completely dead, and Li Hao was not greatly affected by him. He only gave Song Yuqi a little help before leaving, nothing more.

But now, although Song Yuqi and he don't get along very well, at least he finds the person pleasing to the eye.

"Since you've put it that way, what else can I say? I'll just kidnap the princess and make her your concubine, that'll solve everything," Li Hao laughed.

However, Song Yuqi became nervous upon hearing this and asked with some apprehension, "Senior, that is, after all, the eldest princess. Isn't this a bit too arrogant?"

Li Hao chuckled upon hearing this, which is why he said he found the kid pleasing to the eye, but they weren't on the same wavelength.

I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

"You..." Li Hao shook his head, "First of all, I was joking, and secondly, you have to understand."

"Arrogance requires capital, and I happen to have it."

"Even if I did that, what could the royal family do to me?"

"Forget about royalty, who can do anything to me?"

Song Yuqi's mouth dropped open. After all, this arrogant demeanor was completely different from the gentle Song Yushu of the past, yet he was now sporting the exact same face, which surprised and disconcerted him.

Li Hao patted him on the shoulder, said nothing more, and simply said, "Take a good shower, get some rest for the night, and we'll go together tomorrow."

……

The following morning.

Song Yushu and Song Baicheng, handpicked by Li Hao, had already changed into proper clothes and followed Li Hao to the agreed location, Fengsha Tower.

Although it's already the best restaurant in Iwaki, it's really just so-so.

After all, Iwaki City isn't exactly a prosperous city; at best, it's a second-tier city.

Now, the entire Fengshalou building has been booked.

You have to understand that at this time of day, the place is packed. Booking the entire restaurant isn't something you can do just by spending money.

It seems the eldest princess didn't hide her identity, so there must have been quite a few people watching her at today's banquet.

After all, although the occasion was not very formal, it could very well influence the future course of the Yue Kingdom.

On the contrary, when Li Hao and his group arrived, the eldest princess and the mighty general were already eagerly waiting at the gate.

Upon seeing the three of them appear, the eldest princess took the initiative to lead the way in greeting them.

"Royal Zhao Xianyue, accompanied by the mighty General Jiang Tianhao, greets the seniors, the Song family head, and the second young master of the Song family."

"It is a great honor for me to have you grace us with your presence."

Li Hao simply nodded slightly in response, then looked at Jiang Tianhao, who was standing a little behind him, with a playful gaze.

Jiang Tianhao felt his face burning, but could he turn around and run away now? He could only grit his teeth and face Li Hao.

"Hello, Grandpa."

This straightforwardness surprised Li Hao. It seems that this general's ability to "rise and fall" is truly extraordinary.

This is not like last time, when only Shen Lingyan was present. Now, in this crowded Yan City, there are at least a hundred eyes watching this place, seemingly unnoticed.

To be able to call someone "Grandpa" so readily, Jiang Tianhao really has a heart of stone.

"Hehe, General Weiwu, you're too kind. It was just a joke last time, nothing serious."

"I don't even have a wife, so I wouldn't dare acknowledge you as my grandson."

At least so far, Li Hao doesn't dislike these two people, and he wouldn't mind saying something nice about them.

But these words had a different meaning when they reached the ears of those secretly watching.

Li Hao had considered this possibility, but so what? He didn't care.

Zhao Xianle's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, and his smile became even more genuine.

"You're too kind, senior. Please."

"We can't talk about this here," Zhao Xianle immediately turned around and led everyone into the Wind and Sand Tower.

After taking their seats in the top-floor private room, Jiang Tianhao went to stand guard outside the door.

inside the house.

Zhao Xianle adopted a humble attitude and took the initiative to get up and pour wine for everyone.

Li Hao paid a little attention to Song Yuqi's reaction. The kid was a bit excited, but thankfully, he wasn't blinded by beauty.

Zhao Xianyue sat down again, about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Hao.

"Your Highness."

"Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

"After all, the wedding is approaching, and everyone is quite busy."

Although Zhao Xianle was a little surprised, he did not lose his composure.

"Senior is truly straightforward; let's get straight to the point about the string music."

"May I ask, senior, how long do you plan to stay in Yue?"

Li Hao said calmly, "The Princess's information network is truly impressive; she knows all this?"

Zhao Xianle chuckled and said, "Senior is joking. There's no need to inquire about such matters."

"Let alone Yue Kingdom, looking at the entire Dongli Continent, the only ones that can produce Earth Soul level experts are probably the super powers in the central region."

"Although I don't know why you were reborn here after possessing another body, it seems there are still many unresolved matters from your past life. Leaving is inevitable, isn't it?"

This kind of speculation only means that the result is correct, but the process is completely wrong.

First of all, he was not a reincarnation of a powerful Earth Soul cultivator. Secondly, although he wanted to leave, it wasn't to deal with any past events, but rather because the world was so big and he wanted to see it.

Since he was already invincible, he wasn't worried about encountering any dangers outside. He had seen all the beautiful landscapes, so his time travel wouldn't have been in vain.

After a moment's thought, Li Hao said, "Anyway, there's no rush."

Zhao Xianle's expression remained unchanged as he said, "So, in other words, you plan to settle everything before leaving, senior?"

"Then, senior, how do you intend to deal with the royal family?"

Li Hao countered with, "What do you think?"

Zhao Xianle's smile faded, turning into a serious expression.

"With the abilities of their predecessors, even if the royal family exerts all its strength, what are their chances of winning? For the royal family, peace is naturally the priority."

"In the end, it was the royal family that was in the wrong. One of the purposes of String Music's trip was to sincerely apologize to our seniors."

Li Hao was still wondering which "this matter" Zhao Xianle was referring to when he saw her clapping her hands.

Soon, the door opened, and Jiang Tianhao threw two people, bound hand and foot, inside.

Li Hao felt that the two people looked familiar, but before he could remember who they were, Song Baicheng next to him had already changed his expression.

Shen Xianyue stood up and knelt down before Li Hao.

"Zhao Xianle, along with Tang Jinhai, the head of the Tang family, and Tang Yunsi, the second daughter of the Tang family, apologize to the senior and beg for forgiveness."
