The next day.
Su Muqing stepped out of the main hall and imdiately saw the young man sitting outside the main entrance. Her eyes turned cold.
Li Hao, seeing the other party finally erged, stopped placing his chess pieces and looked on silently.
Soon, Su Wanqing walked over, bringing with her a fresh and fragrant scent typical of a young girl, wafting through the courtyard. She said to Su Muqing, "Sister, shall we go?"
"Mm."
Su Muqing nodded in response.
Seeing them about to leave, Li Hao got up imdiately to follow.
"I'm going to appreciate so paintings, are you going to follow as well?"
Seeing Li Hao's move, Su Muqing, feeling her heart sink, couldn't help but angrily say.
Li Hao nodded, saying, "I told you, wherever you are, I will be."
"You!"
Su Muqing was furious.
Su Wanqing said to Li Hao, "We're going to places that are mostly for won. Are you really going to follow?"
"Mm."
Li Hao nodded without any hesitation.
Su Wanqing was at a loss for words, suddenly realizing that her words could have sounded even more tempting to an average man, causing her to discreetly palm her forehead.
"Ha, if you want to go, then follow. But rember, my father has only given you the rights to stay within the Su Mansion, outside of which you're just a nobody. When they stop you at the gates, don't bla my Su Family for it!"
Su Muqing suddenly thought of sothing and coldly laughed as she said.
Hearing this, Su Wanqing imdiately understood her sister's intention and nodded.
The two girls said no more and departed together quickly, seemingly intent on shaking off Li Hao with their movent techniques.
Li Hao's figure blurred, with immortal power coursing through him. With his Sixth Level of Form Dao, his body beca extrely resilient, and by pushing his movent technique to the limit, he barely kept up.
It must be said that these two girls were both prodigies, one at the Fifth Level of Immortal Monarch Realm and the other at the Sixth Level, four to five tiers higher than Li Hao. They practiced the Su Family's top-tier movent technique, with the Immortal Emperor's legacy among them, capable of crossing realms to slay enemies — easily as a breeze for them to shake off those of the sa realm.
Yet at this mont, having left the Su Mansion, the two girls discovered that they couldn't outrun Li Hao, which surprised them imnsely.
"So fast, his foundation is deeply rooted!"
Su Wanqing's pupils contracted with shock, and her perspective on Li Hao shifted once again.
If it were only about breaking through by consuming Spiritual dicine, he could never have such prowess. This boy was far from ordinary!
Su Muqing also realized this point, her expression altering briefly, but after hearing Su Wanqing's words, the surprise in her eyes turned instantly into coldness.
"Hmph, even a solid foundation isn't enough if the Dao heart is diocre. I doubt he even reached the level of a Chaotic Dao Heart!"
Su Muqing sneered; with such talent, yet attempting to pester her and use her influence only showed a lowly Dao heart. Her disdain grew, feeling as if she had encountered a cultured scoundrel.
As the two girls accelerated continuously, more of Li Hao's power unfurled. The force of the Tao Origin Immortal Seal was already circulating within him, with the Sixth Origin of Form Realm acting on his Immortal Body, concealing the fluctuations of this Immortal Seal's power.
Upon leaving the Su Mansion, their pace quickened again, arriving at a lakeside building in the north of Gusu City.
The ambiance was serene, the lakeside view idyllic, with a vast stretch of waterside pavilions in the center, enchanting like a Painting Realm.
By the lakeside, a Sealing Array Barrier enveloped the area, marked as the territory of an Immortal King Realm practitioner and impermissibly trespassed without consent.
Su Muqing and Su Wanqing arrived first, seeing Li Hao still pursuing them from behind. Su Muqing snorted coldly and quickly took Su Wanqing inside.
The gatekeepers recognized the two, or rather, few on the Gusu Emperor Star did not know the two girls, except perhaps newcors to the area.
As soon as the two girls were inside, Li Hao dashed through the sky like a sharp sword slicing through, descending swiftly.
Though he restrained his aura, in chasing the two girls, so unavoidable hints leaked out.
The attendant at the gate sensed this aura and greeted them with a smile, asking, "Young Master, please present your painting invitation."
"Invitation?"
Li Hao glanced towards the lake, where the girls' figures had vanished, with the Sealing Array Barrier obstructing their aura. His eyes shifted slightly as he quietly said, "I don't have an invitation."
The attendant's smile stiffened, bowing as he said, "Young Master, my apologies, but without an invitation, entrance is not permitted."
Li Hao frowned, suddenly recalling Su Muqing's words before they departed — she ca to admire paintings.
As he scanned the surroundings, although he could only glimpse at the pavilions, he noticed nurous scroll paintings floating in the void outside the pavilions. These scrolls were lifelike, as if true beings were turning and maneuvering in the void, exerting the vicious might from their past lives.
She likes paintings? Li Hao was montarily lost in thought, rembering how that girl had wanted him to paint a portrait before she passed.
Space-Ti shifted, and it seed the forces of fate still tightly intertwined.
"Young Master..."
Called upon by the attendant, Li Hao ca back to his senses, imdiately saying, "I can paint, and my works surpass those ordinary works in the lake. Could you let in?"
The attendant was taken aback, his expression changing slightly. Although those paintings by the lake were not the main attraction of this viewing, they were naturally not ordinary since they were displayed here.
"Um, I can't make that decision. I only know that without an invitation, entrance isn't permitted..."
The attendant said helplessly.
Just as Li Hao was about to speak again, a soft yet slightly cold voice ca from behind:
"You claim that those paintings in the lake are ordinary?"
Li Hao turned to see a woman with snow-white hair, in an exquisite gauze dress, with nurous Immortal Treasure Hairpins on her head, emanating Tao fluctuations; the dress adorned with Immortal Crystals, exquisitely beautiful.
"And you are?"
Li Hao asked, puzzled.
The two maids standing on either side of the woman glared at Li Hao with angry faces, clearly restraining themselves.
The woman, however, remained indifferent, saying, "You just said your paintings are superior. Why not head inside and showcase your artistic skills?"
To compete in the Artistic Path? Li Hao was sowhat surprised, but naturally, unafraid. He inquired, "Do you have an extra invitation?"
The woman didn't reply, rely walked past Li Hao, raising her sleeve to reveal a gold token with entwined dragon patterns to the attendant.
The attendant gasped slightly, almost losing his composure, and hurriedly stepped aside.
The woman said to Li Hao, "Co along then."
The two maids beside her, with their upturned noses, made angry faces but carried a hint of coquettish charm despite their ferocity.
Relieved, Li Hao imdiately followed her inside.
"How should I address you, Young Master? Are you also in the Artistic Path?"
The woman walked ahead, her tone indifferent.
Li Hao didn't mind the tone and said, "I am Haotian. Thank you for your help."
"Ahead lies the Lake Painting Tower. Young Master Haotian, please wait there. Shortly, I'll be there to appreciate and witness your artistic skills, if you please?"
Stopping, she pointed to the most majestic pavilion in the center of the lake.
Looking in the direction she pointed, Li Hao saw paintings along the path leading to the pavilion. It was likely Su Muqing was there.
"Alright."
He agreed readily, asking, "How may I address you, Miss?"
The woman didn't answer but gradually chilled her tone, saying, "If, later on, the artistic skills you display aren't as claid, you'll naturally learn my na. At that ti, don't bla for not giving you a chance."
Li Hao was taken aback, feeling the coldness in her words and growing serious.
He said nothing more, and neither did the woman, who proceeded with her two maids toward another pavilion.
Once they were gone, Li Hao imdiately headed towards the main pavilion in the lake's center.
