A good romance?

Ling Han only needed to think for a moment to guess the crux of the matter.

Li Hao was able to enter Hu Yang Academy, and would definitely have a bright future. The Zhu Clan was worried that Li Hao would have a change of heart after experiencing the extravagant lifestyle of the Imperial City, so they allowed Zhu Xue Yi to follow him.

However, this couple seemed to have already broken through that layer of window paper, and their relationship was already ripe. Ling Han nodded internally, feeling happy for them.

"Big Brother Ling, I've been looking for you ever since I entered the Academy, but I haven't been able to find you," Li Hao said a little guiltily.

Ling Han laughed loudly, and teased, "You probably didn't spend too much time with Xue Yi. That's why you haven't been able to find me, right?"

Li Hao's face instantly flushed red. In the past, he and Zhu Xue Yi only had a hazy feeling for each other, and neither of them had pointed it out. After arriving at the Imperial City, they were a single man and a single woman, and they had also left their hometown, so naturally their feelings for each other had increased greatly, and they wanted nothing more than to stick together at all times.

"Big Brother Ling, you only know how to tease people," Zhu Xue Yi said coquettishly, helping Li Hao to dispel the awkwardness.

Ling Han smiled. Li Hao was a little stiff, while Zhu Xue Yi was much more flexible. The two of them complemented each other perfectly.

"Yi, pauper …" It was at this moment that they heard a soft voice of surprise from behind them, and a young man walked quickly towards them. It was actually the Young Master of the Kong Clan. When he saw Ling Han, he could not help but smirk coldly, and said, "What a coincidence, to actually let me meet you here."

He had been swindled out of a hundred silver coins by Ling Han, and this bit of money was naturally nothing to him. More importantly, he was very displeased. However, later on, Xu Ke Xin had barged in, so he did not have the time to settle the score with Ling Han.

"Young Master Kong, who is this guy?" A gorgeously dressed woman came over and leaned into the arms of the Young Master of the Kong Clan, her eyes flirtatious.

"Oh, he's just a pauper." The Young Master of the Kong Clan waved his hand, appearing extremely disdainful.

"Who are you calling a pauper?" Li Hao was young and hot-blooded, so he could not help but retort.

The Young Master of the Kong Clan swept his gaze over Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi, and instantly revealed an expression of disdain as he said, "You two must have just arrived in the Imperial City recently?"

"How do you know?" Li Hao blurted out.

"Haha, you two look like country bumpkins, so you must have run out from some rural backwater!" The expression of disdain on the Young Master of the Kong Clan's face became even more pronounced. His eyes were fixed on Zhu Xue Yi as he said, "However, this country bumpkin girl is quite pretty. If she were to dress herself up properly, she might have a bit of fun."

"Bullsh * t!" How could Li Hao allow his lover to be humiliated? He immediately raised his fist and punched towards the Young Master of the Kong Clan.

"Ah!" The bewitching woman immediately screamed.

"Go to one side and wait!" The Young Master of the Kong Clan pushed the bewitching woman to one side, and with a wave of his hands, charged towards Li Hao.

"Peng, peng, peng," the two of them began to fight.

Li Hao was in the fourth layer of Element Gathering Tier, while the Young Master of the Kong Clan was in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier. In theory, he should be stronger, but it was obvious that he had been pushed to this level by various resources. His foundation in martial arts was not stable at all, and his battle prowess was only limited to four Stars.

Thus, the two of them ended up in a tie. For a moment, the battle was intense, and neither of them had the upper hand.

"Hahaha, who would have thought that a country bumpkin would have some ability!" The Young Master of the Kong Clan laughed, and said, "Country bumpkin, how about lending your woman to me to play with for a few days? Don't think that you're losing out. Under my guidance, your woman will be able to learn a lot of techniques, and let a country bumpkin like you have a taste of something new."

Hearing him insult his woman once again, Li Hao's eyes turned red. In a fit of rage, he drew his saber and slashed towards the Young Master of the Kong Clan.

"You brat, you dare to use a weapon against me?" The Young Master of the Kong Clan humphed, and similarly drew his sword, beginning to clash with Li Hao.

Li Hao roared in rage, and finally unleashed his Saber Qi. Like a furious dragon, it danced towards the Young Master of the Kong Clan.

The Young Master of the Kong Clan had forcibly advanced to the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier, so how could he possibly be able to withstand the Saber Qi? Instantly, a panicked expression appeared on his face. In just two or three moves, a few wounds had already appeared on his body from the Saber Qi, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Stop! Stop!" he exclaimed in shock, and hurriedly stopped the battle. He was not a man with a strong will.

"Apologize!" Li Hao sheathed his saber, and shouted at the Young Master of the Kong Clan.

The Young Master of the Kong Clan's face was livid. Asking him to apologize to a country bumpkin … if others found out about this, where would his face be? But this country bumpkin was obviously a rash brat, and if he resisted forcefully, it was very possible that he would suffer a calamity.

He was just about to temporarily lower his head when his eyes swept over the surroundings. Instantly, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he said, "Big Brother Tan, save me!"

A tall and slender young man was walking slowly towards him. His appearance was handsome, and every movement he made exuded a strong sense of confidence. His name was Tan Wei Qi, and he was a member of the younger generation of a mid-level clan in the Imperial City.

In the Imperial City, there were only eight Great Clans, and they all needed to have a powerful warrior of Spiritual Pedestal Tier to keep watch. There were many more mid-level clans, because they only needed a powerful warrior of Spiritual Ocean Tier to keep watch. At least, there were even more small clans, and only a warrior of Gushing Spring Tier was enough.

For example, though the Young Master of the Kong Clan was respectfully addressed as Young Master, in truth, he was only from a small clan. However, the Kong Clan had been in business for generations, and though they had not produced many powerful warriors, their clan was well-off, and they were even wealthier than many mid-level clans.

Thus, the Young Master of the Kong Clan was acquainted with a considerable number of young masters from mid-level clans. This was also his capital.

At first, Tan Wei Qi did not recognize the Young Master of the Kong Clan, because the latter was currently in a very sorry state. He only managed to recognize him after taking a closer look. He could not help but be surprised, and said, "Kong Wen Hui!"

"Big Brother Tan, it's me!" Kong Wen Hui said with a long face.

"Why are you in such a sorry state?" Tan Wei Qi could not help but laugh, because he had discovered that Kong Wen Hui's opponent was only in the fourth layer of Element Gathering Tier.

Kong Wen Hui glared fiercely at Li Hao, and said, "It's this country bumpkin. Just because he has formed a flash of Saber Qi, he actually dares to act so arrogantly in the Imperial City."

"Oh …" Tan Wei Qi swept his gaze over Li Hao's body, and could not help but reveal a look of disdain. He could naturally tell with one glance that this was an outsider. That country bumpkin aura was practically overwhelming.

As a member of a Great Clan of the Imperial City, whether it was Kong Wen Hui or Tan Wei Qi, they both had a natural sense of pride, and could not tolerate people who came from other places.

"Country bumpkin, kneel down and kowtow in apology!" Tan Wei Qi did not ask how the two of them had gotten into a conflict, and immediately spoke in a menacing tone to Li Hao.

Of course he would not have any misgivings. He was only a country bumpkin, so what kind of background could he have in the Imperial City?

Li Hao did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. The pressure that this person gave him was far greater than that of Kong Wen Hui. At the very least, his cultivation level was in the late stage of Element Gathering Tier. His Saber Qi could barely increase his battle prowess by one Battle Star, but it would definitely not be able to match an opponent in the seventh layer of Element Gathering Tier.

Unless Tan Wei Qi was also a fake like Kong Wen Hui, who only had an empty cultivation level.

"A mere martial artist in the fourth layer of Element Gathering Tier, I would be able to suppress him with a single finger!" Tan Wei Qi humphed coldly, and said proudly, "I am in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier!"

Li Hao's expression changed greatly. Even if his opponent was also a fake, ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier would still have battle prowess of seven Battle Stars, and still be able to completely suppress him.

"Brother Hao, forget it!" Zhu Xue Yi said as she moved closer. His opponent was too strong, and with Ling Han's ability, although he did not have to fear martial artists in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, this was the Imperial City after all, and who knew what kind of background each and every one of them had?

Reading on one's phone was more refreshing!
