Chapter 137 Introduction

"He is a young man after all."

"People in the world are chasing fame and fortune, but they are not as elegant as we are."

The two young men laughed and talked.

When Li Hao, who had already walked far away, heard this, he came back, grabbed a few pieces from the white chess case, threw them on five places on the chessboard, then snorted and walked away.

"Bold young man, you..."

The young man holding the white chess piece, Miao Zhu, was furious and was about to curse, but the young man had already walked away. He looked away angrily and was about to clean up the troublesome pieces when he saw his friend opposite looking at the chess board blankly.

He was surprised, and when he looked down, he immediately realized that his previous predicament had been reversed, and the fifth son's position opened up another territory for him.

The key is that any missing piece is a loose piece and cannot be detected.

"this……"

…

After walking around for a while, Li Hao felt a little bored. Seeing that Ren Qianqian's successor was not over yet, he immediately found the old man Zhu Zhu and asked him to tell the little girl who had just entered later that he should wait here after she comes out. Don't let him go far.

After handing over two pieces of silver, the old man Miao Zhu happily accepted it and agreed to hand over the message.

Li Hao then waved his sleeves in the breeze, left the martial arts temple in a swagger, came to the city, found a busy restaurant, and inquired about the news about Grandmaster Bai Chunhai.

The restaurant was full of guests and extremely lively. On the spiral staircase in the building, there was a candle hanging with the flames swaying. Half a meter away from the rope on the candle, there was an exquisite dagger inlaid with amber and jade hanging.

Downstairs, many people were booing.

Li Hao took a second look and realized that this restaurant was taking advantage of the excitement to hold an event. If anyone could remove the dagger without flickering the candlelight, he could give it away directly.

Just by looking at the gems on the dagger, you can tell that the dagger is worth thousands of gold. No wonder it attracts so many people.

Li Hao was not interested in the dagger. He followed another staircase to the upper floor and found a place to sit against the railing.

He looked around, filtering out the many noises he heard around him, and constantly sifting through the various whispers he heard.

He had a keen hearing, and he picked up many conversations with passers-by in nearby teahouses and on the road outside the restaurant.

Even some people's whispers can be heard clearly.

For example, at the back table and downstairs, several women were whispering secretly: That young man leaning on the railing is so handsome...

Li Hao felt happy.

Suddenly, Li Hao heard the words "Bai Chunhai" coming from a table by the window in front. He couldn't help but be surprised. He saw three figures sitting at that table, two women and one man, talking in low voices:

"Master has an appointment with Grandmaster Bai Chunhai. After the Grandmaster Conference is over, we will go to Tianjian Peak to spar."

"I heard that Bai Chunhai's palm skills are so amazing that he can hit trees in the snow. The snow will not tremble but the trees will break. I don't know if it is true or not."

"Maybe it was his apprentice who blew..."

Li Hao's eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked over to their table:

"Excuse me, do you know Grandmaster Bai Chunhai?"

The exchange between the three people suddenly fell silent, and their expressions changed slightly. It seemed that they did not expect that their discussions behind their backs would be overheard.

"Are you his apprentice?"

The three of them raised their heads and looked at Li Hao with unkind expressions. When they saw that Li Hao was not very old, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were talking about other masters behind their backs, and if they really fought, this young man's age would probably not be their opponent.

"No, I just want to get to know him." Li Hao shook his head.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and relaxed.

"Are you here to become his disciple?"

Among them, the girl wearing a plain white dress looked gentle and spoke softly.

Li Hao looked at her in surprise, and immediately realized that in addition to attracting masters from all over the world, this Grandmaster Conference also attracted many young warriors who came here to become their disciples.

For example, some young masters and ladies from down-and-out aristocratic families, or newly promoted aristocratic families, come all the way to learn from their masters.

After all, there are so many masters here, and if you are lucky, you will always meet one or two.

Li Hao smiled and said without explaining, "Then do you know where he is?"

"So what if I know, why should I tell you?"

Next to him was another girl in an orange dress. She looked more delicate, but had a somewhat fierce personality. She glared at Li Hao, obviously very dissatisfied that Li Hao had just eavesdropped on their conversation.

The young man sitting in the middle didn't stop him, he just said calmly:

"If you want to become a master, you can wait outside the grandmaster conference after the grandmaster conference is over and you will be able to see him naturally."

Seeing that they all were unhappy with Li Hao's attitude, the woman in a plain white dress just glanced at Li Hao and said nothing.

Li Hao wasn't angry either. He took out the remaining half bag of silver and said, "Can you please help me and lead the way?"

"Who cares about this little money?"

The woman in the orange dress glanced at it and snorted softly. She turned her head and happened to see the dagger hanging on the spiral staircase next to her, and she pointed at it casually:

"If you are really sincere, take off the dagger and give it to me, and I will tell you."

When the young man heard this, he also knew that the junior sister had deliberately created a problem for the young man.

He had just tried this dagger, but he couldn't even do it.

"Jingle."

The woman in a plain white dress called the girl softly, and said apologetically to Li Hao: "I'm sorry, we can't reveal the news about Grandmaster Bai Chunhai at will, otherwise we will be blamed..."

"A dagger, right? It's easy to talk about."

Li Hao smiled and quickly took back half the bag of silver to avoid wasting money.

Although the dagger was more expensive than his little money, in his eyes, money and treasures were all things that provided convenience to him, as long as it was convenient.

With his current strength, it is easy to make money. He can earn a lot of money by killing a few monsters. He can become a rich man and live happily at any time.

Seeing Li Hao turn around and walk down the stairs.

The three of them were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other. Zhou Ling'er came back to her senses and couldn't help but said: "Is he a fool? He really thinks he can get it?"

"Maybe he didn't see the rules clearly and thought that he could jump three feet high." The young man shook his head and said with a slight sneer.

While they were talking, the three of them got up and came to the railing next to them, lowering their heads to watch.

Li Hao came downstairs, and there were many people around him who were eager to try.

If you want to challenge, you need to order a Jinyu Mantang package first, which serves as a challenge ticket.

This familiar routine made Li Hao feel a little nostalgic.

He spent ten taels of silver to buy one, and stepped into the challenge area without waiting for the dish to be served.

The eyes of the people around him suddenly focused. When they saw Li Hao's age, the booing became even louder. They all thought that some kid from an aristocratic family couldn't help but want to try it out.

The money in the pockets of these young men from aristocratic families is also the most profitable.

The middle-aged man who seemed to be the manager of the restaurant next to him enthusiastically explained the rules to Li Hao and continued to work hard to heighten the atmosphere.

Li Hao didn't wait for the crowd to make a fuss, and he jumped up gently. Under the eyes of everyone on the floor, he floated up like a wisp of breeze, and then gently picked up the dagger tied above the candle.

According to the rules, participation in the Fifteen Mile Realm is prohibited, and royal objects cannot be picked directly. The test is pure martial arts skills.

Therefore, even if one's cultivation reaches the Immortal Movement Realm, if one's martial arts skills are average, it will be difficult to prevent the candle from shaking.

However, at this moment, as Li Hao landed, the candle was still burning quietly, the tip of the fire was straight.

Li Hao smiled at the dazed restaurant manager, then turned around and went upstairs with the dagger.

After a short period of silence, the restaurant suddenly erupted into commotion. Everyone in the restaurant made a sound of shock, and countless eyes followed the young man's figure.

Li Hao walked upstairs, handed the dagger to Zhou Ling'er, who was leaning against the railing with a blank expression, and said with a smile: "Help lead the way."

Zhou Ling'er and the other three came back to their senses. They had all seen clearly just now that the candlelight did not waver at all, and Li Hao's closeness did not seem to bring any wind.

"You, how did you do that?" Holding the dagger, Zhou Ling'er couldn't help but asked blankly.

The young man next to him widened his eyes and looked Li Hao up and down. He himself was a genius on the Kunfeng List, and this young man actually did something that he couldn't do.

Is the other party also from Kunbang?

Li Hao felt that there was more and more attention around him, and said again: "Help lead the way."

The three of them came to their senses. The young man looked deeply at Li Hao and said, "Please come with us. Grandmaster Bai Chunhai should be with our master, but I can't guarantee that we can meet him."

"good."

Li Hao agreed.

The young man took the lead and led several people out of the restaurant.

The restaurant manager glanced at him, and finally resisted the urge to step forward and pull him away. He said, "Try not to provoke the young masters who come to Dayue City in recent days. It's easy to kick the iron plate."

Zhou Ling'er kept looking at Li Hao along the way. Although she had a bad temper, she had great respect and admiration for powerful people, and she asked questions one after another on the way.

"How on earth did you do that?"

"What's your name?"

"Where are you from?"

Li Hao didn't answer, he just felt like there was a bee buzzing in his ears.

The girl in a plain white dress was also quietly looking at Li Hao, with curiosity in her eyes. Among her peers, she had rarely seen such a powerful person.

It didn't take long.

Under the leadership of the young man, they came to the Grand Master's Taoist Discussion Platform in the city. The place was crowded with people, and there were already people outside.

The surrounding inns are full.

In a restaurant with a stage, the young people found their master, a short, middle-aged master named Zhou Haitang.

The young man introduced Li Hao over, whispered in a low voice, and briefly explained what happened in the restaurant.

Zhou Haitang, who was listening to the drama, couldn't help but raise his head, glanced at Li Hao, and then chuckled: "May I ask, sir, where are you from and what is your name?"

"Ji Hao."

Li Hao just said.

Zhou Haitang thought about this name for a moment, but it was not on the Qiankun list. He thought it might be a child of a famous family who had just entered the world, and Li Hao's age seemed similar.

"There is only one last name different from that peerless genius on the Qianlong List."

Zhou Haitang chuckled lightly and said, "Do you want to become a disciple of Bai Chunhai? I also know a little bit about boxing, are you interested?"

Zhou Ling'er and the others looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect that the master would take over the young man directly after seeing him.

However, with Li Hao's displayed skills and extremely high martial arts skills, if he really got started, he might be able to master it faster than them.

Thinking of this, the three of them were a little nervous and a little expectant.

"I'm not a disciple."

Li Hao shook his head slightly: "I want to buy a painting from him."
