"That's right, Mother, don't worry. Connections can't decide anything. Otherwise, the true dragon of the Li family would just be handed over to the Emperor for selection," Li Qianfeng said calmly beside her.
He glanced coldly at another young man nearby before looking away. That imperial edict still stirred some emotions within him. He felt a bit dissatisfied. However, the thought of winning the true dragon title and shocking the Emperor, making him realize he had misjudged, felt quite satisfying!
"Mm."
Hearing her son's composed words, Liu Yueren smiled. At that moment, the elder lady, Chen Hefang, stepped out. She had been listening to the conversations during the banquet but had not shown herself until now.
With a smile, she exchanged a few pleasantries with the guests and encouraged everyone to continue eating. While eating was secondary, Li Hao didn't hold back. After all, how could he have the energy later if he didn't fill his stomach?
As he enjoyed his meal, Li Tiangang, Jian Wudao, and Chu Jiuyue chatted happily about past events, discussing how talented Li Hao was. Of course, when it came to Li Hao, Jian Wudao spoke much less. He didn't even mention the time he had rejected Li Hao as a disciple, avoiding any embarrassment or ridicule at the table.
