“Oh my god, those two people seem to be the great scientists Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang…”
All sorts of thoughts were on the students’ minds.
Pah, pah, pah, pah…
In high heels and under a red umbrella, Su Han walked along the steps from far away.
She was dressed in a light grey coat, and underneath was a white professional blouse and a pair of slim black jeans. She impressed everyone as she walked closer in the rain.
“Little Su! Little Su!”
Seeing Su Han, Grandma suddenly waved her hands with excitement. She even stopped in the rain just to wait for Su Han.
Su Han waved back with a smile and quickened her pace. Her unique temperament blossomed in the rain.
“Exactly like the rumors, Hao Ren and Su Han are relatives.” All the students were in shock.
The only thing they weren’t sure about was whether Hao Ren was Hao Zhonghua’s son or not. It would be such breaking news if that were true…
Seeing Hao Ren and Su Han walking into the library and the long lineup ahead, the students wished that they could go inside immediately.
Su Han’s beauty wasn’t inferior to Song Qingya’s.
One was the most beautiful woman in East Ocean City while the other was the most beautiful in the music industry.
The students tip-toed but were still not able to see what was going on in the library.
“Let me in! Let me in!” A girl who was close to the gate started to shout.
Dressed in a brown knitted sweater and with an off-white scarf on her shoulders, she stomped on the ground with her boots. This girl was Jiang Yuan who had just held her own exhibition.
She heard about Hao Ren’s calligraphy exhibition. Thus, she wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, she was late and got stopped outside, so she had to wait in the line.
She was planning to be patient and wait, but no students were coming out at all. With the piercingly cold wind and wet clothes, she couldn’t take it anymore as she saw Hao Ren coming out and going back in.
The members of the Student Council at the entrance recognized her as the genius artist Jiang Yuan. However, these members didn’t have anything to do with her. Therefore, they didn’t respond to her at all after she made a scene.
Jiang Yuan’s face turned pale out of anger. She wanted to leave, but she was hesitant as she was so close to the gate. Therefore, disregarding her dignity, she started to wave her umbrella and scream.
Seeing Jiang Yuan’s outrageous reaction, the students in the line wondered secretly, “Is it because Hao Ren dumped her…”
Since both the Principal and the Vice Principal Lu were in the library, the members of the Student Council were worried that Jiang Yuan would disturb the officials inside. They decided to open the door and let 50 students in.
Jiang Yuan put away her umbrella and walked in angrily. She had never been treated like this ever since she was born. She usually wouldn’t even bother to come to this library
She was the first person to rush into the library. However, Hao Ren’s work was deep and domineering, which overtook Jiang Yuan’s anger like a spell.
Jiang Yuan clenched her teeth. She walked around from the right side of this delicately framed scroll and suddenly saw more than 1,000 pieces of calligraphic works hanging in the hall,
She wasn’t surprised by the enormous quantity; what surprised her was that all these calligraphic works were of the highest grade!
Standing beside Hao Zhonghua, Yue Yang and Grandma, Hao Ren was introducing them to the vice presidents of the club.
Through a few calligraphic works, Jiang Yuan saw Hao Ren who was in an upright posture and suddenly realized that Hao Ren was a thousand times better than her.
She received guidance and support from Wang Shitong, the leading authority in the art circle. However, she was still unable to compete against Hao Ren. Especially after that art exhibition, she lost her contact with her master.
She felt deeply frustrated, but she gained her confidence back shortly as she thought, “My dad runs a great business, my mom works at the Bureau of Finance, and my grandpa is a high-ranking officer in the province. Therefore, I am so much better than Hao Ren based on my background!”
Hao Ren didn’t pay attention to Jiang Yuan as he was showing his parents and Grandma around the exhibition. After he introduced the vice presidents of the club, he brought them to see the calligraphic works.
Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia, the Lu sisters, and Su Han all accompanied Grandma.
The look on Grandma’s face turned to surprise. She thought Hao Ren’s event was just a small-scale exhibition held by a group that shared a common interest. It would be good enough if they got tens of works as she thought that there would only be 20 or 30 members in the club.
She had never expected that her grandson had become so competent that he could lead hundreds of students like a commander, and his event could be incredibly great!
“Huh, who said that Ren couldn’t have such great achievements!” Seeing all the club members coming to greet her and call her ‘Grandma’, she felt very proud! She just regretted that she didn’t have more than five hundred red envelopes for the kids.
Zhao Guang had entered the library and walked beside Hao Zhonghua to have a conversation with him.
Yue Yang looked up at the bold and unrestrained, elegant and flowy calligraphic works. She never thought that her son would be able to handle a club with over five hundred people and make it so spectacular.
“Sister Qingya, can I shake hands with you?” At a short distance, Zhou Liren asked Song Qingya.
Song Qingya’s assistants stood in the front to keep Zhou Liren away from her. They couldn’t stop Song Qingya from going to a club event hosted by a kid at East Ocean University, so the only thing that they could do was to keep her safe.
“Hao Ren!” Song Qingya called Hao Ren when he walked over.
Hao Ren then walked over with his grandma. Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua were surprised to see the appearance of Song Qingya, so they followed Hao Ren.
“Is this…” Song Qingya looked at Hao Ren’s grandma.
“She is my grandma,” Hao Ren said.
“Oh, hello, Grandma.” Song Qingya stuck out her hand.
“Little Girl, I know you. I have seen you sing on TV.” Grandma held Song Qingya’s slim hand and spoke happily.
“My name is Song Qingya, do you also listen to my music, Grandma?” Song Qingya smiled.
Hao Ren stared at Grandma nervously, worried that she would say improper things.
“Yes, I have listened to your music and seen you dance. You are so great!” Grandma answered with excitement, “What a pity that my Ren has a girlfriend now, otherwise you could be my granddaughter-in-law.”
Grandma’s words almost made Hao Ren sweat.
However, Grandma was just joking. Song Qingya smiled, but all her assistants turned speechless.
“Brother Hao, Brother Hao,” Zhou Liren squeezed himself in and went up to Hao Ren, trying to show how close his relationship with Hao Ren was.
“This is my roommate, Zhou Liren,” Hao Ren said.
“Hello.” Song Qingya reached out and shook his hand.
Zhou Liren reached out excitedly. As soon as he touched her, his face turned red. He didn’t dare to say anything else and went back to the crowd.
Zhao Jiayi and the other guys weren’t as brazen as Zhou Liren. They got so jealous when they saw Zhou Liren had the chance to shake hands with their goddess, Song Qingya, through Hao Ren. Thus, they started to beat him crazily. Zhou Liren smelled his right hand, and his eyes turned red out of excitement. Finally, he got the chance to shake Song Qingya’s hand! He could recall the moment of holding her hand hundreds or thousands of times!
As they were messing around with each other, they heard Hao Ren introducing, “This is my dad, Hao Zhonghua, and this is my mom, Yue Yang.”
“Hao Zhonghua! Yue Yang!”
Bang! Bombs went off in Zhao Jiayi and
the other guys’ heads.
Jiang Yuan opened her eyes widely after hearing that.
When she saw Hao Ren welcoming Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang into the library, she thought that they were just guests invited by the university. She never thought that Hao Ren would ever have anything to do with Hao Zhonghua! The even more shocking news was that Hao Ren was Hao Zhonghua’s son.
There wasn’t any rumor like that, so the people weren’t prepared!
After thinking about how she talked to Hao Ren, Jiang Yuan suddenly stepped back out of surprise.
The influence that Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had was definitely greater than a governor or a minister.
Not only Jiang Yuan, but Zhao Jiayi and the others stretched their necks and looked over in surprise. They had been classmates with Hao Ren for three years, but they just found out that Hao Ren, whom they thought came from an ordinary family, was actually the son of Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, two scientists who had always been on international magazines!
“Hao Ren is such a b*stard; how could he hide it so well!” they thought.
“I have long desired to meet you.” Song Qingya reached out to shake hands with Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang.
Standing beside Grandma, Hao Ren was still staring at Xu Ke and his ‘grandpa’ in the hall out of the corner of his eyes.
That metal-elemental dragon elder who was hiding his aura stood far away the entire time, staring at Hao Ren.
“If the enemy doesn’t move, neither will I.” Hao Ren then looked around but didn’t see Yue Zilong.
At that moment, there were Su Han, Zhao Guang, and tens of dragon kings standing around Hao Ren, so he was pretty sure that Xu Ke’s ‘grandpa’ was also judging the situation and wouldn’t start anything yet.
Anyone from the metal-elemental dragon clan wouldn’t know about their real family background before they reached a high realm. Therefore, Hao Ren knew that instead of being Xu Ke’s grandpa, this old man was Xu Ke’s master, Taiyi Cave Master.
It was obvious that Taiyi Cave Master, who occupied one of the five big caves, had cast his eyes on the Mystic Water Sword techniques, which also indicated how precious Hao Ren’s Mystic Water Sword techniques were.
Another reason was probably was that he was trying to get back the golden shield.
The golden shield laying inside Hao Ren’s necklace started to buzz as it also felt the appearance of someone incredible.
“Hao Ren’s parents are Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang!”
“Hao Ren is the son of great scientists!”
“Hao Ren’s parents showed up at this event. They are Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang who gave the lectures at the university last time!”
In the blink of an eye, the news had been spread wildly across the university. Even the students who were in the line outside the library got the news from their phones.
The dragon kings in the library had already heard that the East Ocean Dragon King got a human as his son-in-law, and it was officially proved today.
Hao Ren’s had his own reason for disclosing the identity of his parents.
Right now, Huang Xujie knew his identity, and the members of Calligraphy Club had also known about the background of his family.
Therefore, the news of his parents being Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang would be exposed shortly.
Also, it was a way of protecting his parents in front of many dragon cultivators, especially his club members and their seniors.
Now, everyone knew that his parents were Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang. Therefore, the dragon palaces in various regions would keep an eye on them wherever they went.
After the news spread, the dragon cultivators who didn’t use to care about mortals would start to notice this couple. As a result, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to lay their hands on them.
“This kid has got some brain,” Yue Zilong praised in darkness.
Crack…
On the other side, the old man cracked his knuckles.
“It won’t be easy to get his family. So, get rid of him instead,” he said to Xu Ke in a low voice.
685 Time To Get Started!!!
Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were the most honorable guests among all the guests. What Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang didn’t expect was that the club Hao Ren ran in the university could ever reach a scale like that.
Some elders of the dragon palaces who came from far away had their own identities in the mortal world, and they started going up to Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang and talking to them once they knew that they were Hao Ren’s parents.
Zhao Hongyu drove to East Ocean University after knowing there were many guests from other dragon palaces went there. Zhao Hongyu was the closest to Yue Yang. Therefore, after she greeted some dragon kings and dragon queens, she immediately started talking to Yue Yang intimately.
The cultivators from the other dragon palaces were secretly surprised at how close Zhao Hongyu and Yue Yang were.
Then, they took a look at Zhao Yanzi, the little princess of East Ocean, and found that she was grabbing Hao Ren tightly by his wrist and walking through the hall. It was quite evident that the little princess indeed liked her fuma.
It seemed they were the most harmonious couple!
They had no clue how Hao Zhonghua’s family got to know Zhao Guang’s, or how East Ocean Dragon Clan overcame the pressure. However, it could be seen from the satisfied looks on Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu’s faces that they did find a great son-in-law.
The East Ocean Dragon Clan wasn’t higher in authority than the Dragon God Shrine as the Dragon God Shrine was at a higher level than the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Hao Ren had something extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get the level 4 inspector position at such a young age.
It was said that close to a million soldiers of the East Ocean Dragon Clan had been obedient to this general…
The dragon cultivators who had been to the general exam at the Dragon God Shrine were incredibly impressed by Hao Ren as he was the remarkable young man who dared to challenge the inspector at the Kun-level and left the latter unable to resist.
“If he is ever interested in my daughter, I would definitely leave her to him although he is a mortal…” Some dragon kings thought secretly.
At this moment, the only thing they could do was to admire the great foresight East Ocean Dragon King and Dragon Queen had since they sensed Hao Ren’s extraordinary potential even before his strong talent showed.
It wasn’t unreasonable for the East Ocean Dragon Clan to surpass the West Ocean Dragon Clan.
“Uncle Bie! Uncle Liu!”
Dragging Hao Ren around, Zhao Yanzi greeted sweetly whenever she saw the dragon elders she knew.
Dragon palaces that sent their young generation to study at East Ocean University were those living in isolated regions, but some weren’t located far from East Ocean city.
For example, Dongting Lake, Manshan Island, Hongze Lake, and Tianmu Mountain… the dragon kings and elders from these dragon palaces were close to East Ocean City.
“Hello, hello…” Elders from those dragon palaces smiled at Zhao Yanzi.
The members of Hao Ren’s club all knew that this little girl was the only daughter that the East Ocean Dragon King had, but regular students were envious of Hao Ren when they saw Hao Ren being grabbed by such a pretty and cute middle school girl.
Middle school girls looked very youthful and lively, but Zhao Yanzi was even more energetic than normal girls. They could tell that she was obsessed with Hao Ren simply by the way she held Hao Ren.
The reason for Zhao Yanzi introducing Hao Ren to the elders was actually to confirm her relationship with Hao Ren and establish her unbreakable fiancée status.
Bang!
As Zhao Yanzi dragging Hao Ren forward to introduce Uncle Ye from Fuchun River, she suddenly ran into someone.
She rubbed her forehead, looked up, and saw a pale old man in a grey jacket who looked at her and Hao Ren.
“Friend, is it time for you to give the thing bac
k to me?” The old man asked suddenly.
“The thing…” Zhao Yanzi looked at him in confusion.
Hao Ren reached for Zhao Yanzi’s arm and pulled her half a step back. The golden shield in his necklace started to buzz.
What was supposed to come finally came. The metal-elemental dragon cultivator suddenly appeared here and refused to talk to other cultivators, but he was not here for a vacation.
“Good birds pick proper trees to land on. Spiritual treasures choose the right owner to follow. Is the elder talking about the golden shield?” Hao Ren asked.
Hao Zhonghua, who was busy talking with the Principal, didn’t pay too much attention as he saw Hao Ren having a conversation with a pale old man. Thus, he just kept discussing the construction of a lab building with the Principal.
“My trip here was for three things, first the Heaven-Reaching Shield, second your sword technique, third… the Mystic Water Sword Techniques,” the pale old man said.
He talked in such a firm tone as if he had to get all three things he asked for.
“You must be Xu Ke’s master?” Hao Ren asked.
“Good thing you know. Hand them over to me now, then I will forget about the past.” He looked around at the crowd in the hall, “No one here… can keep you safe.”
Zhao Yanzi looked at the old man in confusion and then looked back at Hao Ren. She thought the people that showed up were all on their side; how could a bad guy come in?
Hao Ren glanced around and didn’t see Yue Zilong. He figured that Yue Zilong probably didn’t want to expose his identity as a deputy shrine master and had no interest in getting Hao Ren out of trouble.
He did a great favor for Hao Ren by giving him five realm-breaking notes, but he wasn’t Hao Ren’s bodyguard.
“I would level this huge building to the ground if I make my moves, and I will get the three things in the end anyway. It wouldn’t be easy for the Dragon God Shrine to track me down and arrest me,” the old man said.
Hao Ren guessed that his realm could only be above Wang Shitong’s as he could sense the latter’s peak Qian-level realm back then. However, Hao Ren couldn’t detect any energy fluctuations on this old man.
“Probably… he is even stronger than Yue Zilong.”
