Chapter 96: Chapter 86: Rage and Exposure_4
“`
Just looking at these things, you can tell Li Hao is more than just neglecting his cultivation; he’s indeed indulging in distractions to the point of losing his ambition!
Yet, oddly enough, everyone in the household still spoils him so much.
He knows, Li Hao is his son, is the young master here, with a noble status; Zhao and the others dare not disobey Li Hao.
His elder sister-in-law and the rest probably don’t feel it’s their place to discipline him much either.
But now that he has returned, it’s imperative to change all of this and properly set Li Hao on the right path to cultivate the proper way!
“Immediately, right now, apologize to your Uncle Yuxuan!”
After chastising Zhao, Li Tian Gang turned his head to glance at Li Hao, his face serious and stern.
Li Hao stared blankly at him, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity, an incredulous feeling as if he’s meeting him for the first time.
It was just yesterday…
Suddenly, he felt a trace of amusement in his heart.
Yes, it was just yesterday that they had just met, but how much did he really know about this father of his?
And how much did this father know about him, really?
He gazed at the man before him and said, “Is it because you think I don’t cultivate, what if I told you I do practice, and that my realm is quite high?”
Li Tian Gang’s eyes showed no sign of change as he replied seriously and coldly, “I don’t care how capable you are, Uncle Yuxuan has followed me through life and death over the years. Do you know how many demons he has slain, how many people he has saved?”
“He’s in the Heavenly Human Realm, he’s a Grandmaster!”
Li Tian Gang articulated: “A Grandmaster must not be insulted, even if you are my son, today you must apologize!”
Hearing this, Li Hao couldn’t help but want to laugh, only he felt that his smile was incredibly sad:
“A Grandmaster must not be insulted, then do you know what’s in those paintings of mine…”
Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly rushed into the courtyard. Upon seeing Li Tian Gang and Li Hao, he exclaimed excitedly:
“My lord, young master!!”
The two turned their heads to look, and the one who had rushed in was Li Fu, his face filled with excitement and agitation.
Li Fu had hurried back from Cangyu City. Just as he arrived on the official road dozens of miles outside Qingzhou City, he heard travelers at a roadside tea stall discussing that the Lord of the Li Family had returned.
Overjoyed upon hearing the news, Li Fu immediately hastened back at full speed.
“Li Fu.”
Seeing Li Fu, Li Tian Gang’s expression softened a bit, but then he noticed the other party barging in directly like this, behaving so carelessly; such behavior was not like the composed and meticulous manner he used to display when following him.
After not seeing him for several years, he was also so undisciplined.
Li Hao, seeing that it was Fu, showed no significant change in expression, as they had only parted for a short while.
“After a few years, have you also lost all sense of discipline?” Li Tian Gang said, frowning slightly.
Li Fu was startled, then quickly realized his mistake and hastily gave his respects.
Then he glanced at Li Hao, his face unable to hide his joy, and said, “My lord, I sent you a letter, did you receive it?”
“A letter?”
Li Tian Gang said, “Was it sent to Northern Yan, when was it sent, I didn’t receive it.”
Li Fu suddenly realized that by the time he had sent the letter, his lord must have already begun the journey home.
During his time recovering, he had inquired about the battle of Cangyu City and, after understanding the details, found it hard to believe.
He later sought confirmation from City Defender Yue Shuhong and, upon getting it verified from him, convinced himself of the truth.
Upon learning of the matter, he didn’t first send a letter home, but to Northern Yan.
After all, such shocking and astounding good news naturally had to be informed to Li Hao’s parents first, as they were the most trustworthy.
As for sending word to the family home, that was secondary; he planned to return and tell the second uncle himself and also to inquire whether they already knew about Li Hao’s circumstances.
“It’s all right if you didn’t receive it. Since you’ve returned, my lord, I can tell you in person just the same,” Li Fu said with a beaming smile, glancing at Li Hao, his voice revealing a slight tremble of excitement: “Young master has reached the Fifteen Li Realm!”
