Inside the hall.
Zhao Gaoli looked intensely at Lin Hao and said solemnly, "I will talk to Ling'er about this matter at some point. If she insists on it, I will not agree!"
Lin Hao said noncommittally, with a nonchalant expression on his face, "I'm going to Tianyan Academy anyway, so it's better to avoid embarrassment when we meet in the future."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gaolie looked at Lin Hao in surprise and asked, "Have you also been admitted to Tianyan Academy by default?"
"No."
Lin Hao shook his head and smiled lightly, "Besides the internal selection, doesn't Tianyan Academy also recruit from the outside? As long as you pass the assessment, you can also enter.
Zhao Gaolie took a deep breath and immediately praised, "Good, you have ambition!"
In his view, with Lin Hao's ability, not only was he more than capable of passing the external assessment, but even if he was admitted internally, he would still be more than capable.
Otherwise, he would not have become a new member of the Hades Guild.
Such a powerful force could not be favored by ordinary people.
So, on this basis alone, it was enough for Zhao Gaolie to believe that the assessment levels of Tianyan Academy would be a piece of cake for Lin Hao.
Lin Hao, I'm curious about something.
Zhao Gaolie looked at Lin Hao's gray pupils and couldn't help asking, "Are you really blind?"
At the same time, his gaze turned to the kung fu fly on Lin Hao's shoulder, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Lin Hao smiled calmly, but asked rhetorically, "Can it be fake?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gaolie was even more surprised and suspicious.
"Then how did you find the prey when you were on a mission?"
Zhao Gaolie's face showed a hint of surprise and confusion.
Because the killer's task list has a picture of the prey, if he is blind, how would he know who he wants to assassinate?
He was really puzzled about this.
I'm sorry, I don't understand what the master means by task and prey.
Lin Hao still had that expression of not knowing three out of five questions.
Seeing that Lin Hao was acting stupid again, Zhao Gaolie's mouth muscles twitched slightly.
If it were someone else, he would have been unable to restrain himself and slapped him.
"Oh, I understand, I understand..."
Zhao Gaolie chuckled dryly.
Because Lin Hao didn't really admit it, his speculation was also somewhat uncertain.
The feeling of being on the hook is really uncomfortable.
Zhao Gao Lie sighed inwardly, but he had to be aware of Lin Hao's sensitive identity, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Otherwise, seeing Lin Hao continue to pretend not to understand, he was really worried that he would not be able to control himself and fly off the handle on the spot!
"The Tianyan Academy is a long way away, and it will take us almost half a month to get to Tianwu City. When are you planning to leave?"
Zhao Gaolie said with a smile, "I will arrange for Ling'er to travel with you, and have the servants prepare some things.
In order to make up for his previous status as father-in-law, he was now sparing no effort to please Lin Hao.
"It's been more than half a month, and it's so far away."
Lin Hao was slightly surprised, it seems that they have to leave early.
"Let's make it the first day of next month."
After a brief hesitation, Lin Hao politely smiled and said, "Thank you, master.
"Not at all."
Zhao Gaolie waved his hand and laughed heartily, "You and Ling'er are husband and wife. Don't call me master in the future. Just call me dad."
"Sure."
Lin Hao smiled and nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll go to the cafeteria for breakfast first.
Just as he was about to leave, a blue figure suddenly walked in from the front door.
This person was Zhao Ling'er.
She glanced at Lin Hao without saying a word, and brushed past him like a stranger.
For this famous but insubstantial beauty, Lin Hao had no intention of being a dog.
He also walked past silently and stepped out of the gate directly.
Father, I heard about what happened today.
Upon entering, Zhao Ling'er walked over to Zhao Gaolie and said in surprise, "Is it really the assassin named Jing Ke who killed the Third Butler?"
Zhao Gaolie nodded and said in a deep voice, "According to the several servants who were present at the time, it was indeed him.
Hearing this, Zhao Ling'er frowned slightly and asked, "However, Lin Hao has always stayed in the Zhao family mansion due to his mobility issues. How could he have provoked the assassin?"
Zhao Ling'er was puzzled about this. Who would have no problems with a blind man causing disputes?
Zhao Gaolie didn't answer, but he quickly chuckled and said, "Maybe someone else hired someone to kill him. He has such an excellent wife like you, but many people would love to see him dead.
When it comes to the word 'wife', Zhao Ling'er's beautiful face visibly shows a hint of displeasure.
Dad, in order not to delay our respective lives, I have decided to dissolve my marriage with him.
Zhao Ling'er's voice was cold, showing no sign of nostalgia for her husband, Lin Hao.
You've only been married for a short time, how can you be so casual? I don't agree.
Zhao Gaolie frowned and directly refused.
Dad, are you worried about offending the Lin family?
Zhao Ling'er pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry. I'll take care of the Lin family. When I become a student at Tianyan Academy, even if the Lin family has many complaints, they won't do anything to us Zhao family.
At the end of the conversation, Zhao Ling'er put her arms around her father's arm and began to act like a spoiled brat.
If it were in the past, Zhao Gaolie might have agreed without hesitation.
However, now things are different. Lin Hao, the useless son-in-law, has become a wealthy husband. The Zhao family still hopes to become a first-class family by relying on his relationship in the future.
However, due to Lin Hao's special status, Zhao Gaolie knew that many people would talk, so he had to keep it a secret even for his own daughter.
After all, the death of Qin Chi, the third member of the household, involved his talented younger brother. If it were to be exposed carelessly, the Zhao family would also be affected.
I think Lin Hao is a pretty good son-in-law. Maybe you guys can give it another ten or twenty years to see if it works out.
Zhao Gaolie began to persuade him.
Is it good?
Zhao Ling'er was shocked and looked at Zhao Gao'lie in surprise, thinking she had misheard him.
She was very clear that her father was very interested in his own interests.
In order to cooperate with the Lin family, he even forced her to get married.
At that time, in order to abide by filial piety, she compromised and agreed to the marriage.
But a month ago, her father learned that she had been selected for enrollment at Tianyan Academy, and repeatedly advised her to focus on her future and not allow marriage and family constraints to become obstacles in her path.
Obviously, in the view of Zhao Gaolie, the countless celebrity children of Tianyan Academy, and the influence of the Lin family, could not satisfy his ambition to strengthen the Zhao family.
Why has it gone sour now?
Dad, I've always listened to you since I was a child, but this time I don't care. I have to make my own decision.
Zhao Ling'er's attitude this time was very strong and resolute.
Besides, I am not actually married to Lin Hao, and I will be going to Tianyan Academy next month. To put it bluntly, he is just a stumbling block in my life.
