Female Novel
Chapter 757 Being Followed
Nobody knew why Wan Yaozong wanted to meet this kid of unknown origins.
However, from his attitude, one could see the extreme dislike he held toward this youth as clear as day.
Hence, most of them were relieved, for it was according to their speculations.
Wan Yaozong was a patriarchal man by nature, and he regularly carried himself in a dignified manner.
If some were to discuss his shortcomings though, he would probably fall short in how he treated his
own sons and daughters.
He would definitely want someone who could match his daughter well in terms of family status, but
unfortunately, there was only one outstanding person—Li Shaozong, who could possibly be good
enough for his daughter.
Hence, when a hindrance arose, he had no choice but to get rid of it for the sake of his daughter.
“C’mon, state your terms!”
Chen Hao was led by an old man to the lake in the backyard.
“Terms?”
Chen Hao couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Wan Yaozong.
“That’s right, I know you have a motive for getting close to my daughter. You certainly have your ownnovelbin
reasons, whether it is the admission ticket that you want or money, both are fine, so state your
conditions!”
Wan Yaozong looked into the distance with his hands placed behind his back.
Obviously, he didn’t care to pay attention to Chen Hao at all.
“I understand now. You’re implying that whatever I’ve done was solely for the purpose of getting close
to your daughter, Wan Xue. You believe that I either have improper purposes or that I am not a suitable
person for Wan Xue, which is why you are asking me to state my terms so that I would leave Wan
Xue?!” Chen Hao couldn’t help but asked the question with a bitter smile on his face.
“That’s right, you’re smarter than I thought. It is not my intention to use force on you, so if you value
your future, don’t let any strange ideas get into your head. Otherwise, you might be the cause of your
own setbacks in life. There’s no need for you to keep on with your fantasies with Shao Zong around, so
let’s cut to the chase—what do you want?”
Wan Yaozong thought to himself, This young man is quite straightforward.
“Haha… I really don’t understand how you came to such a conclusion. I’ve never coveted whatever
things you have. After all, there is nothing of value in the entire Wan Family of yours. I came here to
attend the birthday banquet as the Wan Family’s esteemed guest in order to help you people get into
the Underground Festival. Looks like I’ve thought too highly of myself.” Chen Hao shook his head with
a bitter smile.
It felt like this Wan Yaozong had targeted him because he was afraid that he would pursue his
daughter!
“You are a clever person, so you should understand that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew this
time with whatever things you’ve done up until now!”
Wan Yaozong finally turned his head back to Chen Hao and looked at him.
He heard from Uncle Bai that this person was somewhat extraordinary, so out of curiosity, Wan
Yaozong decided to meet Chen Hao for himself. Regrettably, it proved to be such a disappointment, for
he couldn’t have been a more common young man, and an extremely narcissistic young man to boot.
It would certainly be hard for this person to flourish even in the business trade.
Wan Yaozong had decided not to waste any more time with this kid.
“Alright, I believe it’s best for us to be direct. Simply let my housekeeper know if there’s anything that
you want, then make yourself disappear from Ji Province as soon as possible, lest you make me meet
up with you again to waste more of my time!”
Without waiting for Chen Hao to respond, Wan Yaozong raised his arm to wave in annoyance and left
the backyard immediately.
“Wan Yaozong unexpectedly turns out to be quite an interesting person…” Chen Hao evaluated him as
such while looking at the arrogant Wan Yaozong.
At the same time, he thought in his heart, Do I really want to attend the Underground Festival that
badly? If this is how I’m going to get that admission ticket, I want no part in it.
Fighting his way into the Underground Festival would probably be the worst out of all plans.
Chen Hao returned with a helpless smile, and he did not let Shen Piaopiao and the rest continue sitting
there idly.
The three of them left the place immediately after he exchanged a few words with Wan Xue.
“Xue, why did they leave? Did Uncle Wan say something to them?” Xiuxiu asked carefully.
“Perhaps. Who knows?” said Wan Xue.
After giving it some thought, she gave up the idea of chasing after Chen Hao to find out what had
happened.
Perhaps Chen Hao’s departure was for the best!
Besides, when Shen Piaopiao heard about Wan Yaozong’s arrogant attitude from Lin Jiu on the way
back, she was also angered, but she had nowhere to vent her fury.
Lin Jiu wanted to make matters clear with Wan Yaozong, but he was stopped by Chen Hao; it seemed
that the matter regarding the admission ticket was not an option anymore.
Chen Hao wasn’t worried; he was confident that things would turn out alright in the end. If needed, he
believed that he could simply fight his way into the Ceremony with his current abilities.
“Huh? Halt the car!”
Suddenly, Chen Hao opened his originally shut eyes and made Shen Piaopiao stop the car from his
seat in the back.
“Master, what is it?”
Shen Piaopiao was startled.
Chen Hao spread out his spiritual powers to assess the situation, then he said, “We’ve been targeted
by someone, and that person is not too far away from us!”
“What? Could it be Wan Yaozong? That bastard, he actually sent someone to assassinate us!” Shen
Piaopiao roared.
“I don’t think so. The spiritual aura of this person is really strong! When I surveyed the Wan Family just
now, there seemed to be nobody with such a powerful spiritual aura!” said Chen Hao as he tried to
concentrate.
“Mister, let me stay back to help you!” offered Lin Jiu.
“No need. Escort Piaopiao back first, I want to see for myself who exactly this person is!”
With that, Chen Hao disappeared from the car without waiting for both of them to respond.
Rustle!
It was during nightfall by the riverside of the moat that protected the city of Ji Province.
The forest that surrounded it was dense; the leaves were being lightly stepped on above the tall trees
of the forest, which produced the sounds of a series of light footsteps.
Strangely, the only thing one could see were the falling leaves that were stepped on, yet even the
shadow of the person stepping on them could not be seen, let alone the actual person.
Crunch! Crunch!
Chen Hao held his hands behind his back as he leisurely made his way over while stepping on the
leaves.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a leaf as swift as a laser was shot directly at Chen Hao, which he managed to dodge by
turning sideways.
Boom!
It immediately blew up a tree with a diameter that required three people to hug it.
The cultivation base of this man was obviously very strong.
“Hahaha…”
Immediately following that, a ghostly laughter erupted from all around him; it was eerie and very
unsettling.
“I’m already here, so stop laughing. How about showing yourself?” Chen Hao asked calmly.
Just now, this mysterious person had deliberately released his spiritual powers to target and lure Chen
Hao in, thus making the latter curious enough to come to have a look at who this person was and to
find out what he was trying to do; that was why he had walked over patiently.
“Hahahaha…”
The only reply he got was that horrid hollow laugh; it sounded malicious and very creepy.
Then, a tornado spun from the ground with great momentum following the laughter.
“Are you not done yet?” Chen Hao was quite irritated.
“Hahahaha… The youths really live up to their reputation. Don’t you even have a tiny bit of patience?”
That hair-raising laughter sounded out once more, although it was accompanied by a voice this time.
Chen Hao frowned as he looked straight ahead; he really had had enough of this.
In the treetops ahead, he saw a black-robed, white-haired old man; much like a bat in the night, he
nimbly landed himself on a tree branch.
Naturally, when he caught sight of Chen Hao, he threw his head back and burst into laughter once
more.
The laughter echoed endlessly within the whole forest…
