I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

"Hey, I know this is shocking to you, but you don't have to be stunned for so long, do you?"

Li Hao spoke again, interrupting Zhao Xianle's conversation with the voice in her mind.

Zhao Xianle looked again at the pile of rings on the table, then at Li Hao.

To be honest, she really doesn't know what to do now.

Seeing that she remained silent, Li Hao changed the subject and said, "That's the situation now. If the royal family wants to make peace, there may be a chance. If they want to fight... I don't care."

"If you cannot persuade the pro-war faction before the wedding ends, then please ask the Princess to provide me with a list."

"It needs to be detailed, not just about them, but also their family and friends, leaving no one out."

"I will handle it myself after the wedding."

Li Hao's tone was casual, but it made the princess's heart sink deeper and deeper.

Li Hao continued, "If you want peace, you have to offer a guarantee—a guarantee that you will not attack the Song family again after I leave."

"You've seen the choice made by the Qingyun Sect, so what about you?"

Zhao Xianle hesitated and said, "In the royal family, there are still a few unmarried princesses of marriageable age."

If the royal family could be preserved through a marriage alliance, then there would be no need to hesitate. But would this method still be effective?

Furthermore, Song Yuqi, the only remaining direct descendant, is already engaged.

Making a royal princess a concubine? Absolutely not.

Bowing to Li Hao is already an extremely difficult concession, yet there are still a large number of people who want to fight to the death.

If a princess were to be married off as a concubine, those who originally intended to make peace would likely have to switch to the pro-war faction.

Moreover, in this situation, it is not possible to temporarily adopt a goddaughter to replace him. After all, marriage is not the point. The point is that Li Hao needs a guarantee. How can a stranger with no blood relation be considered?

This means that both sides must be of significant importance in this marriage.

That is... herself, and Song Yuqi.

Zhao Xianle's brows furrowed deeply; she immediately realized how troublesome this matter was.

"No rush, take your time to think it over. After all, it's still several days before this kid's wedding."

"Oh, by the way," Li Hao pointed to Song Yuqi behind him, "this kid has a thing for you. If the two of you could get together, at least he'd be happy."

"To me, these two people, or these treasures combined, are not as important as Song Yuqi's happiness, understand?"

These words flattered Song Yuqi, who lowered her head slightly, unsure how to react.

"Alright," Li Hao said, standing up. "The lives of those in the royal family now rest in your hands."

"Give me an answer after the wedding."

After saying that, Li Hao turned and left, but after taking only two steps, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, whether you marry Song Yuqi or someone else marries into the Song family, as long as I'm satisfied, these things will be considered as betrothal gifts."

After saying that, Li Hao left without lingering, taking the two of them with him.

As soon as they came out, Li Hao could clearly feel that they were instantly locked onto by hundreds of gazes.

But these gazes quickly shifted away and did not cause them any trouble.

It's estimated that all the major families in Vietnam are waiting for a result. They certainly wouldn't dare to come up and ask Li Hao directly, so all their attention has shifted to the Wind and Sand Tower behind them.

Li Hao ignored him and left.

Inside the rooftop room.

At this moment, Zhao Xianle was really in a bind.

Everything else is fine, but the most crucial thing is Li Hao's copying skills.

This means that it is highly unlikely that the royal family could use any money or treasures to impress this senior.

What else does royalty have besides money?

There were quite a few beautiful women, but Li Hao didn't seem to be interested in any of them.

If she were to marry Song Yuqi, she wouldn't object, since she had already been mentally prepared for it.

But damn it, we're too late!

"That despicable woman, Shen Lingyan!"

Zhao Xianle slammed his fist on the table in anger, then shouted outside, "Tianhao, take them both away."

Jiang Tianhao immediately pushed the door open and asked, "What should we do? Bury them alive or...?"

Zhao Xianle shook his head slightly: "No rush, let's keep it for now, and I'll test Senior Li Hao's attitude later."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianhao immediately grabbed the two members of the Tang family and took them away.

After they left, Zhao Xianle took a deep breath and asked himself again in his mind.

"Master, what do we do now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a phantom spirit floated out from her body and waved its hand to create a sound barrier in the room.

Zhao Xianle was startled and quickly whispered, "Master, why did you come out? Didn't you say..."

Wu Liangsheng raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "I have already tried various methods to test him, and Li Hao has indeed not noticed anything."

"In fact, that guy doesn't seem like someone who has been possessed and reborn at all."

Zhao Xianle gasped sharply: "Master, what makes you say that?"

Wu Liangsheng frowned and said, "Possession and rebirth are always the last resort, after all, one's original body is always the best."

"Rebirth through the body of another person will always have the problem of incompatibility. In severe cases, the physical body cannot accommodate it and will soon collapse. In milder cases, it will make it difficult to surpass the peak of one's cultivation in this lifetime."

"But when I look at Li Hao, there's no sign of his body and soul being incompatible; he doesn't seem like someone who has been reborn through possession."

Zhao Xianle asked hesitantly, "So Master means that Li Hao is actually still Song Yushu? Then why would he give himself a new identity?"

Wu Liangsheng frowned even more deeply: "That's the key."

"Perhaps he had some extraordinary adventure that allowed him to obtain some powerful treasure."

"But judging solely from his own abilities, neither his physical body nor his soul has surpassed the Core Formation realm."

Zhao Xianle hurriedly said, "But he can definitely unleash strength above the Core Formation stage."

"It's confirmed that Liu Ying died at his hands, with just one palm strike."

"Although there is no news of his battle with the Qingyun Sect, the Qingyun Sect's current attitude is enough to show that he has definitely lost."

"And then there's Jiang Tianhao. According to him, Li Hao was able to withstand his full-force attack head-on, so his strength must be above the Core Formation Realm."

Hearing this, Wu Liangsheng finally smiled a little.

"My good disciple, don't you understand?"

"The reason I asked you to sue for peace before was because I was in extremely poor condition. If another Earth Soul Realm expert came, I might not be able to win."

"First, seek peace to avoid exposing me. Give me time to recover, and I will be able to kill him."

"But now that he's no longer a powerful Earth Soul Realm expert, even if he's incredibly strong, he's no match for me."

At his stage, he was already able to launch attacks targeting the soul.

He was in such poor condition that even dealing with a Divine Soul Realm expert was proving difficult.

However, if one is below the Divine Soul Realm, then there is absolutely no problem.

Before reaching the Divine Soul stage, the soul's strength is limited, and there is absolutely no means to defend against soul attacks.

Just like a seriously injured adult, would they be afraid of an infant who can't even stand up?

Hearing this, Zhao Xianle's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he asked with a hint of anticipation, "Master, shall we still seek peace now?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liangsheng couldn't help but recall the scene of Li Hao casually replicating a large number of treasures, and a hint of greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"This kid's cloning method is quite unique. If I can capture him and use him for my own purposes, then my work on reshaping my physical body can be greatly accelerated."

"Moreover, this is also an excellent opportunity for the royal family."
