Li Hao perceived the intention behind the question and remained silent for a mont before saying in a low voice, "It was bestowed by a senior."
"Which senior?"
The noblewoman asked again, her tone carrying a hint of aggression.
Li Hao felt the sudden chill in the atmosphere within the hall, causing his skin to prickle slightly. The oppressive aura in the air far surpassed what the Immortal Monarch Realm could bear.
However, having just traveled from the Southern Domain under the watchful eyes of the Supre's incarnation, he would not easily be frightened here.
"Forgive this junior for not being able to disclose."
Li Hao slightly bowed, still maintaining etiquette and decorum.
The noblewoman did not expect this young man, who except for being sowhat good-looking, appeared ordinary in every other aspect, to possess such composure. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as her graceful figure stepped into the hall and took the main seat. A maidservant handed her a cup of Immortal Tea, from which smoke curled up to form a misty white dragon, infused with Dragon Clan Blood Qi.
This tea could enhance one's physique, imbuing the Immortal Body with Dragon Qi, strengthening and rejuvenating oneself. One cup was equivalent to several years of hard cultivation for an ordinary True Immortal.
Yet, the noblewoman did not even glance at the tea, rely observing the youth quietly. Seated on the principal seat, she naturally looked down upon him.
"How is your relationship with that senior?"
She inquired softly.
Seeing that the other party was still probing, Li Hao frowned slightly. He realized there was a misunderstanding, as the item he had presented turned out to be a marriage contract.
No wonder the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul had said that with this item, he could obtain what he wanted from the Su Family.
If it were an alliance through marriage, then he could naturally freely enter and leave the Su Family, making it easy to et Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnated body.
However, to sell himself into the mansion was not his intention; he only wished to stay by that woman's side.
"May I know how to address Madam?"
Li Hao did not answer directly but instead inquired.
"How bold!"
The personal maidservant beside the noblewoman's eyes narrowed slightly, as if two cold stars shot forth, glaring angrily.
The noblewoman's brows slightly knitted, but seeing the youth's simple and unrefined deanor, it was only natural he might not know royal etiquettes. She was not inclined to quibble over such trivialities and said indifferently,
"I am Madam Su, the head mistress of the Su Family. I oversee all matters, particularly the marriages in the backyard."
Li Hao initially thought the other party to be the Family Head and was puzzled by her being a woman. Now sowhat understanding, he bowed his head and stated, "Madam Su, this junior has co here to find soone and rely wishes to stay by their side. I hope Madam Su will allow it."
"Who?"
Madam Su's eyes narrowed, yet she already had an answer in mind, which caused a hint of a cold smile to play at the corners of her mouth. Her question carried a sharp and chilly undertone.
Unexpectedly, the youth before her shook his head, "This junior does not yet know her na, only that she is in the Su Family."
"Oh?"
Madam Su's brows raised slightly, observing the youth's sincere and honest gaze. She couldn't help but inwardly sneer; many youthful souls dared feign sincerity before her. The nurous other concubines within the backyard possessed far superior charm and politeness and now remained obedient in their respective quarters, daring not to act recklessly.
"You have co with a marriage contract that our ancestor personally promised; naturally, the descendants of the Su Family must comply."
Madam Su's eyes remained placid, betraying no joy or anger. She said, "But the contract only promises soone of exceptional talent from the Su Family's future generations, without specifying which branch or individual. Currently, we have four young daughters, all unmarried and the pride of the Gusu Emperor Star youth. You, too, are handso, and since a senior bestowed the marriage contract upon you, you must be remarkable among humanity. Hence, I offer you my most cherished daughter. What do you say?"
Li Hao was taken aback; his face imdiately changed for he had no intention of marrying here.
Moreover, he was not foolish; although Madam Su's words were spoken politely, vastly different from her deanor upon entering, he could tell she was not pleased with this marriage alliance.
Since neither party was willing, rely conforming to the marriage contract seed unnecessary to him.
"Madam Su, this junior is only looking for soone and has no intention of marrying."
Li Hao stood up and bowed again.
A glint of cold amusent appeared deep in Madam Su's eyes, but she outwardly displayed tenderness as she asked, "Could it be you dislike my daughters? If you refuse, and that senior blas us, our Su Family could not bear it. It would seem as if we're being coerced and refusing to fulfill our ancestor's wish; I hope you won't make things difficult for ."
Li Hao couldn't help but say, "I can explain to that senior and ensure not to trouble you."
Madam Su narrowed her eyes lightly and said, "You have co from afar and must be weary; Yaoqin, take him down to rest."
As she spoke, she suddenly rembered sothing and asked, "What is your na?"
Just then, Li Hao also rembered he hadn't introduced himself, and the other party had just rembered to ask. He hesitated a bit, then softly said:
"This junior is nad Haotian."
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul had previously ntioned that there were countless humans in the True Realm, with billions in one Immortal City and thousands of Immortal Cities in one Immortal Dynasty. There must be millions of individuals with the sa na, so there was no need to conceal it.
Moreover, here in the Northern Domain, his aura had ceased, and his appearance was slightly altered due to the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul's power. Even if charming geniuses and monsters from the Southern Domain faced him, they would be rely suspicious, unable to confirm. After all, confirming identity is most reliably done through aura, like a fingerprint, unique and unmistakable.
"Haotian..."
Madam Su nodded slightly before instructing her maidservant to escort the youth out.
"Madam Su, this junior wishes to..."
Eager not to waste ti, Li Hao sought to quickly et Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnated body, or perhaps Shi Miao's reincarnated body. The maidservant dressed in a moon-blue gown by Madam Su's side approached with a cold face and said:
