The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 93 Li Hao's Request [Additional Update for the Leader of Lone Star Soul]

The True Dragon’s decision will be made in two months.

Li Tiangang passed the news to He Jianlan and also informed the entire mansion.

For a moment, all the colleges were in an uproar.

However, they had anticipated this. From the moment Li Wushuang came down the mountain and rushed back, they knew that he was coming for the real dragon.

However, the candidates who could compete for the real dragon this time were originally mainly from Shuihua Court, but now Li Hao from Shanhe Court suddenly appeared.

"Humph, Liu Yuerong must be furious."

In the Linglong courtyard, Xiao Yujing sneered.

She had no children of her own, only an adopted son, Li Yuanzhao. Although Li Yuanzhao's aptitude was an eighth-grade combat body, it was still a little short of that. The ninth-grade combat body was only the basic line for the top geniuses.

Naturally it is difficult to compete for the real dragon.

But this time Li Hao showed his prowess and shocked the world. Li Yuanzhao had the best relationship with Li Hao, so he could benefit from it.

However, she didn't care much about these.

Inside Shuihua Courtyard.

Although Liu Yuerong had expected this, she still gritted her teeth.

She asked the old woman to prepare the letter. Now that things had come to this, she could only ask for help from Qian Feng's master.

Perhaps the Buddha, who is on par with the Taoist master Qian Dao Palace, will have a solution.

Although his own child was also in the Fifteen Mile Realm, he was, after all, three years older.

……

……

Wuliang Mountain.

In the pure land of Brahma, in the boundless spiritual realm.

The rules of Wuliang Mountain are strict, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are all determined by the Buddhist hierarchy system. For example, Vajra can live in the Vajra Heart Hall, where he can comprehend the master's heart and cultivate into an Arhat, while Arhat can live in the Buddhist temple and enjoy offerings.

As for the spiritual realm, it is supreme and is the place where countless Buddhas practice and live.

The spiritual smoke here is vast and misty, like a fairyland on earth.

"Amitabha, Lord Buddha, the news has been passed to Qiankun Vajra, and he is on his way back. In addition, we just received a letter from the Divine General's Mansion, which was sent by Qiankun Vajra's mother Liu."

A Bodhisattva whispered the Buddha's name, took out a letter in his hand, and handed it to the Buddha above through the air.

The Infinite Buddha is dressed in a cassock, with Buddha’s light all over his body, and a blazing Buddha wheel shining behind him, emitting the light of salvation for all sentient beings.

His body was gigantic, more than ten feet tall, which was due to his special secret practice, and he possessed incredible power.

However, the Bodhisattvas who have reached the Four Stages of Establishment are the size of ordinary people. People around them are like ants and can only look up at them.

The letter flew over, but the Infinite Buddha did not take it. It just stayed in front of his eyes for a moment, then automatically turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving him with only his insight and reading.

"We already knew the news. Liu was too anxious."

The Buddha Wuliang said softly, "Tell her not to be impatient. Talent is not determined by realm alone, but also by the foundation of each realm. Qiankun Vajra practices the top techniques of our Buddhist sect. Combined with his Li family's unique skills, he is able to rank among the top five in the same realm."

"When he returns, I will pass on another Buddhist wish to him, which will ensure that he will be invincible in the same realm."

The Bodhisattva breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Lord Buddha."

The Buddha Wuliang said softly, "There have been frequent disputes in the past hundred years, and Dayu's luck has declined. This time, we have no choice but to intervene in the true dragon dispute in the God General's Mansion. When the troubled times are coming, it is time for us to go down the mountain and save the people."

"Amitabha."

The Bodhisattva looked pious.

……

……

As the news of the Li family's real dragon being finalized spread, all parties received the news and quietly took action on the matter.

"The True Dragon makes the decision based on two main aspects."

In Shanhe Courtyard, Li Tiangang called Li Hao to him. Looking at his son, he felt relieved but also a little worried:

"The first is talent, the second is character."

"In addition to this, there are also merits, connections, etc., but these are secondary and are the icing on the cake."

Li Hao nodded. The second master had told him about these.

The Divine General's Mansion is a top-notch family, not just based on strength.

Talent is important, but talent alone is not enough. If your character is very bad, you won’t go far.

For example, impatience, arrogance, paranoia, etc. If this kind of mentality is combined with top talent, entrusting the family to the other party is tantamount to letting a madman hold the steering wheel, which will only lead to faster destruction.

Being steady, restrained, versatile, and not surprised by praise or criticism is a good character.

Simply put, one must not only have outstanding talents, but also have good ideological and moral character. This is what an heir to a large family should have.

As for the merits of personal connection, they are just a bonus.

Personal connections are also a reflection of one's character. After all, without the ability to deal with people in a versatile manner, how can one talk about personal connections?

He offends people the moment he opens his mouth. No matter how strong he is, if he becomes the head of a family in the future, he will only make the whole family hostile.

Although the selection of the true dragon of the Li family is not as strict as that of the crown prince of the royal family, it is also carefully selected. Unlike small families, it is possible that a bastard's son will get some opportunities and rise up overnight, surpassing all the uncles and aunts and making them kneel down in shock.

But in this case, the illegitimate child often ends up rising to the top, leaving the family behind and becoming a hands-off boss.

The reason why the top families remain standing is because the head of the family must support the entire family and lead the family forward. This is a test of one's character.

Li Tiangang glanced at Li Hao and said, "I am not worried about your talent, but I have neglected to discipline you over the years, so you have become unfocused. If you can work harder, you will achieve much more than this."

Having said this, he paused and looked at Li Hao.

He had said this before, so it was just another reiteration.

And Li Hao’s previous answer to him was, so what?
Seeing Li Hao's expressionless face, he sighed, "I know your mother and I failed to accompany you, but the millions of people in Yanbei need us. If I abandon Yanbei, not to mention what will happen to Dayu, the people of Yanzhou alone will suffer."

"As a descendant of a military family, you should understand this."

"I understand!"

Li Hao spoke up, looking at his father in front of him seriously: "I have never blamed you for this, never!"

"I can attest to that."

Li Fu, who was listening with his hands down in the pavilion, interrupted. He looked at Li Hao with a look of pity and reluctance, and said to Li Tiangang:
"My Lord, the young master was assassinated and you asked me to return to the mansion to protect him. I asked the young master about it, but instead of blaming you, he was worried about whether you would be in danger in Yanbei."

"He...really never blamed you."

Hearing Li Fu's words, Yu Xuan, who was standing on the other side like a guard, was also stunned.

He looked at the boy with serious and stubborn eyes, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He is an orphan, he can understand that feeling.

He was abandoned at birth and grew up in a military camp. When he was four or five years old, he felt uncomfortable every time he saw other children playing with their parents.

Envy, resentment, anger.

He had questioned the dark air countless times in the dark night, why are you so cruel to abandon me?
Why gave birth to me if you don’t want to raise me?

This anger gradually faded away as he grew up, because he thought that the parents he had never met might have their own reasons.

The young man in front of him was separated from the marshal and his wife at birth. At his age, he would be thought to be full of resentment like himself, but in the end, he could understand?
How old is he?

Looking at the young man's thin body, Yu Xuan felt as if something was about to flow out of his heart.

He suddenly realized that he was getting to know this young master for the first time.

Hearing Li Fu's words, Li Tiangang was stunned.

He looked at Li Hao's particularly serious eyes and knew that Li Hao was not lying. With Li Fu's testimony, he suddenly felt a sour feeling in his nose.

But he never cried easily. He took a deep breath and suppressed the sourness in his nose. He quickly thought of Li Hao's previous attitude and asked:
"Have you ever felt resentful?"

"Have."

Li Hao still answered seriously and did not hide anything.

The three of them were stunned. Just now they thought that Li Hao was not lying, but his words immediately became contradictory.

Li Hao took a deep breath and stared at him.

"My grievance is not that you didn't come back, but that you sent back military newspapers many times. I counted them, a total of 24, nearly two every year!"

"But in these fourteen years, you have only sent home seven letters!"

After all, Li Hao is not a teenager. If he was just a naive 14-year-old boy, he might keep these thoughts in his heart and feel a little uncomfortable.

But he chose to speak his mind, perhaps only in this way could his relationship with the father be eased:
"Every time I saw the military newspaper delivered to Changchunyuan, I would go and see it. I was waiting, thinking that there would be letters from home sent back with it, but I was disappointed seventeen times!"

"These seventeen times, Auntie fabricated seventeen letters to comfort me. She thought I didn't know, but in fact I knew it as soon as I heard it."

"I don't need you to rush back from afar to see me, but I don't understand, I can't understand why you didn't send a letter home when you could have written back."

"Are you not at all curious about how your son lives his life? Has he learned to brush his teeth? Has he been bullied? Has he been wronged? Is he unhappy?"

When Li Hao said this, the resentment in his eyes could not help but show up.

After all, his body carries the blood of the man in front of him, and he regards him as his father.

Not seeing each other for fourteen years may not mean that the relationship is very deep, but there will always be disappointment and loss.

After hearing what Li Hao said, the three of them were stunned.

Li Fu stared at Li Hao in a daze, his body trembling slightly.

He has been with Li Hao for many years, so he could see the look in the eldest lady's eyes and expression. Naturally, he knew that it was a temporary fabrication.

However, he didn't expect that Li Hao, who was so young, could also see it.

But every time Li Hao finished listening, he would run back happily.

So, he was just pretending?
Don’t you want to let the lady down?

Li Fu gritted his teeth slightly. This man who had fought on the battlefield with only blood but no tears, now felt like crying.

Li Tiangang and Yu Xuan both stared at Li Hao in a daze, their expressions quickly becoming complicated. Li Tiangang was speechless. Facing these words from Li Hao, he suddenly found that he couldn't find any excuse for a while.

He wanted to say that the border wars were urgent and continuous, leaving him no time to distract.

But is this a reason?
He couldn't say it.

No matter how urgent the situation is, don’t you have time to write a letter home?
Can I send a military newspaper, but not a letter from home?

He could only think of one reason, which was that he really neglected his son.

When did this start?

He couldn't remember clearly, maybe after learning that Li Hao couldn't build the foundation and dissolve the blood, he gradually shifted all his attention to the battlefield.

Or maybe, it was really the frequent wars that exhausted him and left him with no time to care.

There was even another reason in his heart, which was that he had too little contact with his son. He left after Li Hao was born, so he was not used to having such a son.

But... can I express this thought aloud? As a father, can I say it out loud?
The most frightening thing is that he didn’t have a deep impression of these seven letters. It seemed that it was only after his wife reminded him that he thought of them…

At this moment, Li Tiangang's face looked pale and ugly. For the first time, he realized how much of a failure he was in terms of his father, although he was invincible on the battlefield.

"Hao'er..."

Li Tiangang looked at the young man in front of him. The other party's eyes were clear yet serious.

He was a little afraid to look directly at her, his heart aching, and he took Li Hao into his arms, his voice slightly hoarse: "I am sorry for you!"

Hearing the father's whispers in his ears, Li Hao's calm heart softened a little.

He sighed inwardly, is sorry any use?

Some things can't be made up for.

However, he silently advised himself in his heart, forget it.

Many things always have a process.

He was willing to accept the other party's apology, but he would always feel a little regretful. Maybe this was life?

Li Fu and Yu Xuan were speechless when they saw this scene. They felt pity for Li Hao's cleverness and understanding, but also regretted that the conflict outside the border, in addition to the countless dead and wounded soldiers, also hurt a child thousands of miles away.

for a long time.

Li Tiangang slowly calmed down and collected his emotions. He took a deep breath and said to Li Hao:

"I will definitely make it up to you for the fourteen years that your father missed!"

"From now on, whatever you want, I will satisfy you!"

Li Hao felt relieved, and immediately said, "Then I hope to be freer."
