Chapter 1549  Chapter 393: Four Phoenix Daughters

“Four Little Phoenixes?”

Li Hao thought of that noble lady, the four daughters mentioned by Madam Su, and his eyes flickered slightly.

The whispers he overheard outside the mansion earlier suddenly resurfaced in his mind. His pupils contracted slightly—were the women they discussed actually her?

Li Hao’s expression changed slightly. He immediately said to the steward, “I wish to see Madam Su.”

The steward was taken aback, hesitatingly said, “This…”

“Announce me. I want to see Madam Su!”

Li Hao said seriously.

“I can only announce you to Miss Yaoqin. As for whether Madam Su wishes to see you…”

The steward smiled bitterly. If he weren’t responsible for Li Hao’s lodging, he wouldn’t have shown up earlier. But if Li Hao caused trouble, it would inevitably fall on him.

A guard nearby sneered, didn’t linger, and turned to leave.

Upon returning to the Sea Moon Hall, the steward announced Li Hao to Yaoqin, and Li Hao waited as if sitting on pins and needles.

Elsewhere, in the inner courtyard of the Su Family, at Zhurong Garden.

There is a martial arts field here, an Earth Level martial field exclusively for the Su Family offspring. Beside it sits an Immortal King Realm elder, guiding the Su Family’s offspring in cultivation.

Currently, many figures gathered outside the martials field, bustling with activity. Inside, two figures clashed fiercely within a Sealing Array Barrier, with cheers erupting from outside.

Soon, the two figures ended in a draw, neither able to best the other.

To continue would mean revealing one’s trump cards and engaging in a life-and-death fight.

“Fang Xiu is truly formidable. No wonder he’s from the main family, in the Second Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, and can reverse-fight Yun Shan of the Third Realm.”

“He’s true; the main family practices Cultivation Techniques different from ours, unless one achieves great merit, it’s impossible to access them.”

“Having ended in a draw, I wonder whom Brother Qiyu will choose as his personal guard.”

Outside, people whispered, frequently looking at the young man standing beside the Immortal King Realm elder. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fiɾe·net

That young man was tall, wearing a moon-white long gown, with an expression calm yet gently composed, exuding a scholarly elegance.

“Brother Qiyu is already nearing Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm. If one becomes his guard, they’ll surely have the chance to learn higher Immortal Dao Divine Power and Immortal Body Techniques.”

Many people’s eyes shone with a tinge of envy. Though all were Su Family offspring, their statuses varied. To follow the main family, even as a close attendant, was a great opportunity and no disgrace.

After all, even their aunts served as servants before the main madam; there was a gap in status.

“Qiyu, what do you think of Yun Shan?”

The Immortal King Realm elder glanced at the young man beside him with a smile.

The young man was a young prodigy of the Su Family, older than the Four Little Phoenixes, naturally at a higher realm, but in terms of talent, he was somewhat lacking.

This generation of the Su Family, for some reason, the ones with monstrous talent were all females.

Before the young man could answer, two long rainbows streaked down from the sky. Clad in moon-blue garments, resembling fallen osmanthus petals surrounded them—an automatic phenomenon from the girl’s cultivation of the Tao affecting the world.

The field discussions fell silent, and numerous gazes gathered. Upon recognizing the two figures, silence ensued.

Moments later, exclamations and excited discussions erupted.

“It’s Miss Su Muqing! She’s actually here!”

“And Su Wanqing, not bad for sisters, both look wonderful.”

“Why have they come here? Are they intending to spar with us, to evaluate our cultivation?”

The Su Family offspring were somewhat excited; the two before them were both Su Family’s Four Little Phoenixes, their cultivation far surpassing those of the same realm and age. They were seldom seen on the entire Gusu Emperor Star, and were famous.

“Mu Qing.”

Seeing the two sisters, Su Qiyu’s eyes brightened slightly.

The Immortal King Realm elder nearby wore a kind smile, “What brings you here?”

The two girls nodded in greeting to the elder, acknowledging him. Then, Su Muqing directly said, “Brother Qiyu, I came to invite you to participate in the Sword Pool Osmanthus Picking in six years. Would you be willing?”

“Sword Pool Osmanthus Picking?”

Su Qiyu’s eyes slightly lifted, a slight smile on his face, “If I haven’t reached the Immortal King Realm by then, I would naturally be willing to go and see how other families fare. But if I manage to breakthrough to the Immortal King, then I can’t participate.”

Participating as an Immortal King would be somewhat unfair.

Su Muqing naturally understood this principle and nodded, “Of course, then… are you agreeing?”

“When Su’s sister asks, how could I refuse?”

Su Qiyu laughed.

Upon hearing this, Su Muqing’s cold demeanor softened significantly, and she nodded.

Meanwhile, Yaoqin arrived in the Sea Moon Hall.

“Why are you looking for me?”

Seeing Li Hao, Yaoqin frowned, then said, “I just heard you almost offended Miss Su, is that true?”

Li Hao hadn’t expected the Su Family’s intelligence network to be so quick. Even a minor incident was immediately known, testament to those serving the noble lady.

“I want to see Madam Su.”

Li Hao said.

Yaoqin frowned and said, “Madam Su is busy; you can’t just see her because you want to. Just wait for her summons.”

“I need to see her now.”

Li Hao remembered the discussions overheard outside the mansion, and his tone grew impatient.

Yaoqin’s face darkened slightly. In the small courtyard, no one dared speak to her this way, but the boy before her had a special status. Recalling Madam’s instructions, she took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said coldly:

“I will report, but until then, stay here obediently.”

Having said this, without giving Li Hao a chance to speak, she turned and disappeared.

Within the deep residence of the Su Family.

A tall, imposing figure silently appeared, as if stepping out of space-time, without alerting anyone.

But upon reaching the main hall, he saw the noble lady waiting there, her exquisite attire of glass and gold threads complementing her unparalleled beauty, entrancingly magnificent.

“Madam, have you been waiting here all this while?”

The Family Head of the Su Family, Su Zhenyuan’s deep eyes softened immediately, asking gently.

Madam Su looked at her husband, sensing the turbulence in his restrained aura, her expression shifted, and she rose to ask,

“What happened, did it fail?”

Su Zhenyuan’s eyes showed a trace of helplessness and pain. He sighed and shook his head, “I was too hasty.”

Madam Su, noticing some strands of white at his temples, her eyes filled with a touch of tenderness, gently said, “It’s alright, don’t take everything upon yourself, there are still Old Four and Old Wu…”

Su Zhenyuan shook his head, “The eldest brother has passed. As the eldest brother’s successor and also the head of the family, how can I retreat behind them?”

Seeing him so obstinate, Madam Su knew it was impossible to change his mind on this; she could only change the topic, saying,

“Your return is timely. There’s something I need your advice on.”

Hearing his wife’s words, Su Zhenyuan’s eyes focused, “What is it?”

Seeing her husband so grave, Madam Su knew he was again worrying about those matters, shaking her head, “It’s about a junior. One junior came with our ancestor’s marriage contract.”

Saying this, she took out an ancient scroll, handing it to her husband.

The scroll opened, gold threads burst forth like myriad streams of Divine Light, with each character inscribed with the essence of Tao emerging.

Su Zhenyuan quickly scanned it, his eyes revealing surprise, “When I succeeded the family position, Father mentioned this once, that our ancestor arranged a marriage that on some future day, someone might come to propose at our Su Family. I didn’t expect it was real.”

His eyes showed joy and amusement, “This is wonderful, and just as Muqing is about to wed, it’s a double blessing!”

Madam Su, hearing his words, couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Her husband, without a single flaw in battlefield strategies and combating demons, seemed much like a fool in matters of love.

“Are you really going to agree, Husband? We have four daughters, each a talent seen once in a millennium, and you’re willing to give them away?”

Madam Su said somewhat exasperated.

Su Zhenyuan smiled, “A daughter cannot be kept forever; eventually they all marry. Can we tie them up for life? Moreover, for an arranged marriage by the ancestor, even if the proposer isn’t of imperial blood, it would be at least a Direct Disciple of an Emperor. Such a talent marks an exceptional match.”
