"He is a boy after all."

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

The two young men laughed and had a conversation.

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 softly 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 in annoyance and was about to clean up the troublesome chess pieces when he saw his friend opposite looking blankly at the chess board.

He was surprised. When he lowered his head and looked down, he immediately realized that his previous dilemma had been reversed. 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 when she comes out.

Don't let him go far.

After handing over two pieces of silver, the old man from 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 making noises.

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 had no interest in the dagger, so he walked up another staircase and found a place to sit down 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 from outside restaurants, nearby teahouses and on the road.

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 the table near 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 technique is so amazing that he can hit it on a tree covered with snow. The snow will not tremble but the tree will break. I don't know if it is true or not."

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

Li Hao's eyes brightened, 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 were actually 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. If a fight really broke out, 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 in 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 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 wearing an orange dress, who 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 were all unhappy with Li Hao, 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 hummed softly. She turned around and saw the dagger hanging on the spiral staircase next to her, and she pointed at it:

"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 problems for the young man.

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

"Bell."

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 the money he had, 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 and watching.

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 became focused. When they saw Li Hao's age, the booing became even louder. They all thought that some kid from 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 directly picked. The test is pure martial arts skills.

Therefore, even if one's cultivation reaches the realm of the Immortal Ascension, 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 shocked sounds, 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 close approach 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, but 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 steward took a look and finally resisted the urge to step forward and pull him away. He said, "Try not to provoke young masters who come to Dayue City these days. It's easy to get kicked."

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 asked questions one after another along the way.
