Chapter 99: Chapter 88 Sensation

After Zhao and Li Fu had left, Yu Xuan looked at Li Tian Gang with hesitant eyes and said,

“Marshal, you just returned yesterday, and to have such a conflict and misunderstanding with the young master, it inevitably affects father-son affection. Do you think you should go and comfort the young master?”

Li Tian Gang glanced in the direction where Li Hao had departed and realized that his own attitude had just been a bit too forceful. Yet, thinking of Li Hao’s cold gaze, he felt a surge of nameless anger in his heart.

He patted Yu Xuan on the shoulder and said, “You had to put up with that kid’s tantrum today.”

Yu Xuan quickly bowed and said, “You’re taking it too seriously, Marshal. I’m fine, it’s just that the young master…”

“I’ll go and see him later.”

Li Tian Gang sighed and said, “Even if I was wrong, this child has been spoiled and arrogant for years, and his temper is too big. He even said the painting can be dealt with by us as we please. Since the painting is of Qingqing, his mother, is he really going to abandon it over such a small matter? He really needs a spanking!”

Yu Xuan opened his mouth slightly, wanting to speak but hesitated, not knowing how to persuade.

After all, he was also clueless about such matters, being an orphan from the battlefield, and given the strict rules, it wasn’t his place to say much.

Just then, suddenly, a figure streaked across the sky and approached.

Li Tian Gang looked up and saw that the newcomer was his second uncle, and immediately smiled.

“Second Uncle!”

He greeted him proactively and quickened his pace to meet him outside the corridor:

“What brings you here, uncle? I was just about to thank you.”

Li Muxiu landed in the courtyard, and upon seeing Li Tian Gang’s sturdy figure, sighed,

“You rascal, the years of frontier wind and frost have toughened you up a lot. Where’s Qingqing?”

Li Tian Gang was taken aback and said in a low voice, “She’s gone.”

“Gone?”

Li Muxiu immediately frowned and stared at him, asking, “Is she coming back?”

Li Tian Gang looked at his uncle, puzzled.

“I’m asking you.” Li Muxiu said impatiently.

Li Tian Gang hesitantly said, “Second uncle, do you perhaps know about Qingqing…”

“Hmph, did you really think you could keep it a secret from everyone? Who didn’t know back then? Your father knew, your mother knew!”

Li Muxiu said irritably, “Otherwise, how could you two have been allowed to marry?”

“Father and mother both knew…” Li Tian Gang stood shocked as if struck by lightning, and after a long pause, he came back to his senses, and the eyes of this robust man were somewhat moist.

Li Muxiu casually released a wave of energy to seal off the surroundings and stared at him, “Tell me honestly, is she coming back?”

Li Tian Gang clenched his fists and slowly shook his head: “She won’t be coming back.”

Won’t be coming back… Li Muxiu took a deep breath, then suddenly seemed to think of something and immediately asked:

“I was occupied with matters yesterday and wasn’t in the mansion. I heard you returned yesterday, so what about the others, do they know the situation? What about Hao Er, does he know?”

Facing his consecutive questions, Li Tian Gang shook his head again, “I didn’t go into details, everyone thinks Qingqing is…”

“Hao Er doesn’t know?”

Li Muxiu immediately asked.

Li Tian Gang nodded slightly.

Li Muxiu paused for a moment, then sighed.

He nodded and said, “You did the right thing. It’s for the best that Hao Er doesn’t know. Since Qingqing won’t be coming back, there’s no need to let Hao Er know. Just consider her dead!”

Hearing this, Li Tian Gang’s body trembled slightly, but in the end, he clenched his fists and said nothing.

“Ending the war in Northern Yan, it wasn’t because of Qingqing, was it?” Li Muxiu suddenly asked.

Li Tian Gang shook his head slightly and said, “That’s only part of it, the main reason is the years of fighting, the Holy Palace has been weakened.”

Li Muxiu scoffed and said, “These demons, once Hao Er inherits the True Dragon seat and the family has a successor, I will personally make a trip to meet those Ten Thousand Years Demon Kings!”

“Second Uncle, the family still needs you to stand guard.”

Li Tian Gang said with a bitter smile, knowing his second uncle’s temper. He changed the subject:

“Speaking of Hao Er, I was just about to thank you, second uncle.”

“Thank me for what? It is my duty to take care of Hao Er. He is the only one among these nephews I actually admire. He is different from the other blockheads, including you nephews, all blockheads.” Li Muxiu said unreservedly.

Li Tian Gang, realizing he was also being criticized, could only feel a touch of helplessness but didn’t retort.

When he and his eight brothers were young, aside from a few, most were despised by their second uncle.

He had not expected Li Hao could actually make his whimsical second uncle so affectionate. Smiling, he said:

“If it weren’t for second uncle giving Hao Er a chance against heaven’s will, Hao Er would not have achieved what he has today. I will forever be grateful for this kindness!”

“What?”

Li Muxiu was startled and said, “Chance against heaven’s will, for Hao Er?”

“Huh?” Li Tian Gang looked at him puzzled.

Yu Xuan, the young man standing by, also looked at the Sea-Calming Divine Needle of the Li Family with a hint of surprise on his face.

“Second Uncle, Hao Er is fourteen this year and has already cultivated to Fifteen Li Realm. If it weren’t for you…”

Li Tian Gang was cut off before he could finish his sentence.

“You must be mistaken?”

Li Muxiu suddenly realized what the other was thinking and couldn’t help but say irritably,

“I certainly wanted to give Hao Er a chance against heaven’s will with how fond I am of him, but my chance was used up long ago on someone else. How could I have had another opportunity?”

“Moreover, Hao Er’s talent is unmatched, extraordinary, even more so than your ninth brother. Why would he need a chance against heaven’s will? It’s more likely to ruin him than help him.”

“Ah?”

Li Tian Gang, having faced many battles, showed a rare look of astonishment.

Not second uncle?

Hao Er has cultivated to this extent all on his own talent??

Yu Xuan as well was stunned, looking at the old master in shock.

Seeing the astonished look on Li Tian Gang’s face, Li Muxiu couldn’t help but laugh, being able to understand.
