  “It is my classmate’s boyfriend. He insulted me!” Yu Qing said.

  She wanted to add fuel to the situation and say that she was beaten, but she was also afraid that her cousin would come over and scold her after seeing that the situation was different. Therefore, she did not dare to exaggerate.

  When Huang Xujie heard that it was a conflict between middle school students, he lost interest and said, “It is stupid. You can deal with that on your own.”

  Yu Qing stood stiffly in place with her mobile phone in hand.

  “When is your cousin coming?” Hao Ren asked her.

  He used to hate seeing Huang Xujie; this was the first time Hao Ren actually wanted to see Huang Xujie.

  “My cousin said that he is very busy today, but you should be careful later on!” Yu Qing put away her mobile phone and said to Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren sneered and glanced at Yu Qing with disdain. Then, he picked up a meat skewer and placed it in front of Zhao Yanzi.

  Yu Qing clenched her phone and got very angry. She thought, “This Zhao Yanzi’s boyfriend is simply looking down on me! Just because he is a university student?”

  She was determined to make sure that her cousin would teach him a lesson! She was planning to ask for Zhao Yanzi’s boyfriend name after going back to school!

  Hao Ren wasn’t interested in dealing with this arrogant middle school girl. After ordering a few more delicious skewers, he treated Zhao Yanzi and her three classmates to a good meal.

  In the afternoon, it was the opening ceremony of LingZhao Middle School. Zhao Yanzi had a class meeting, so she had to change into her school uniform and go back early.

  Hao Ren paid the bill and walked the four girls back to school.

  Because Hao Ren treated them to a meal, and his speech was more mature than the middle school boys, Zhan Yanzi’s dormmates felt like he was just like a big brother. They had a good impression of him and supported Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren’s relationship.

  Since the students had already arrived at LingZhao Middle School, visitors could not easily enter the school. Hao Ren walked Zhao Yanzi to the school gate, handed the bicycle to her, and stayed at the entrance to see her off.

  “Uncle, thank you for the skewers today!” Ling took the lead and thanked him.

  She had the best relationship with Zhao Yanzi and was the first among the three girls to meet Hao Ren. Although she was not very familiar with the development between Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren, she barely witnessed Zhao Yanzi’s ‘love journey.’ At first, Zhao Yanzi hated this ‘uncle,’ but she was now madly in love.

  From Ling’s perspective, Hao Ren cared about Zhao Yanzi, but Zhao Yanzi was just being a little sweetheart and had not fully accepted Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren smiled lightly and then set his gaze back on Zhao Yanzi.

  Zhao Yanzi was the only one among them who did not wear the school uniform, so she seemed more beautiful this way.

  “Well, Uncle, you can head back!” Zhao Yanzi looked up at Hao Ren and said.

  “Okay. Be good in school. If you need anything, call me,” Hao Ren said and turned to the main entrance of East Ocean University.

  “Don’t be too close to Xie Yujia!” Zhao Yanzi suddenly added.

  Hao Ren waved his hand and crossed the road to enter East Ocean University. He still wanted to talk to Zhao Yanzi about not being too hostile toward Xie Yujia, but he had no chance to tell her since the other three girls were with them. He had to do it at a later time.

  In fact, Xie Yujia still cared about Zhao Yanzi, but Zhao Yanzi didn’t buy it.

  Back in school, Hao Ren called Xie Yujia and asked her about how the club registration was going.

  “All kinds of procedures are almost done. Now, I’m just waiting for one of the vice principals to stamp it. But since you seem to be anxious about this, I may just go directly to Vice Principal Lu for the stamp. Once it is approved, it is basically done,” Xie Yujia said.

  Her voice sounded a little anxious. Running around between various offices on such a hot day, she must be exhausted.

  “It is alright. Just do it tomorrow,” Hao Ren said.

  “We are waiting for the last stamp anyways. I will finish it for you!” Xie Yujia said. When she used to be the Class President, she was resolute. She would take care of everything that surfaced and never procrastinated.

  She did not ask about Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi’s meal. She did not want to appear overly jealous over such a thing.

  “Oh, can you also help me ask for Lu Qi’s phone number? Lu Qi of the Go Club,” Hao Ren suddenly said.

  “Him. I can find it in the list of club presidents. I will send you his number in a minute!” Xie Yujia replied quickly, “There is one more thing. All the clubs in the school must have a supervisor who is a faculty. Is there anyone you have in your mind?”

  “I will take care of this. If I can’t, I’ll report back to you,” Hao Ren said.

  “Good!” Xie Yujia hung up. Apparently, she had to run to other offices.

  Hao Ren stood in the campus, thought about it, and called Su Han.

  He and Su Han could communicate through the inspector’s tokens, but the tokens were connected with spiritual senses. If Su Han were cultivating right now, it would affect her cultivation and might harm her. Therefore, whenever Hao Ren was looking for Su Han, it was safer to call or visit her office personally. If this affected Su Han’s cultivation, her wrath was not something that Hao Ren could bear.

  The phone rang for a few seconds, and Su Han picked up.

  Her voice was cold. “What?”

  “This is the situation. I’m setting up a club and want you to be the supervise in charge because…”

  “Sure,” Su Han threw out one word and rendered Hao Ren’s speech useless.

  “Is there anything else?” Su Han asked on the phone.

  “No…”

  “Okay.” Su Han hung up and immersed herself in cultivation once again.

  Hao Ren held the phone, stunned. “This woman is too clear-cut,” he thought.

  Buzz… Hao Ren received a message; Xie Yujia had sent Lu Qi’s phone number over; her efficiency was absolutely high.

  Hao Ren dialed the number, and Lu Qi picked up.

  “Who’s this?” Lu Qi’s voice was very calm. He often received unfamiliar calls, and many of those calls were media reporters looking to interview him.

  “I am Hao Ren.”

  “Oh…” Lu Qi’s sounded a little surprised, “Brother Hao.”

  “It’s like this. I’m setting up a club, and I want you to be the Vice President. You can help me spread this news. Specifically, say this…”

  Hao Ren explained his plans to Lu Qi.

  Lu Qi listened very carefully. With Hao Ren’s request, he would not dare to be sloppy. Hao Ren’s power and status had won his respect.

  In the circle of dragon cultivators, age was nothing. Therefore, when Inspector Hao Ren took the initiative to ask for his help, this was his chance! He was afraid that he couldn’t befriend Hao Ren!

  An hour later, Huang Xujie, who was enjoying the air-conditioner and snoring in the small office of the Rock-Climbing Club, was woken up by one of his henchmen

  “What’s wrong?” Huang Xujie was a bit annoyed.

  Just when he was sleeping, he was awakened by his cousin’s phone call because of some trivial matters. Now, he was woken up once again.

  “Brother Huang, Lu Qi, the President of the Go Club, made a post on the school forum.” The student who woken up Huang Xujie pointed to the computer.

  “Lu Qi? Post?” Huang Xujie was somewhat confused.

  The school forum required registration with one’s student number, which was equivalent to real-name authentication. The post author would have the name and student number displayed, and that was why few people would post on the school forum.

  However, the school forum had a club management page. All the club activities, recruitment, and registration could be updated on this page.

  Recently
, the Rock-Climbing Cub was about to recruit new members, so it was necessary to update information on this page and also pay attention to the updates of other clubs.

  “Lu Qi posted that Hao Ren is founding a Calligraphy Club. Lu Qi himself will be a vice president, and the supervisor will be Su Han. There are two other vice president vacancies, and he hopes that students who are interested will join…” This member of the Rock-Climbing Club pointed to the post.

  “Lu Qi is joining another club?” Huang Xujie was in disbelief.

  The Go Club was the most unique club in East Ocean University, and it also had the highest status. Lu Qi had always looked down on other clubs in the school, let alone joining other clubs.

  However, the author of this post was indeed Lu Qi. His name and student number, as well as the title of President of the Go Club, were displayed.

  “A club founded by Hao Ren…” Huang Xujie saw this and became even more confused.

  “Everyone knows that the supervisor is only an empty title and will never make an appearance! The only attraction he has is Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. Otherwise, who will participate in the Calligraphy Club this day and age? Pfft, relying on girls to attract members? Very low!” Huang Xujie thought about it and said.

  However, he was jealous in his mind over the fact that Su Han would actually agree to be the supervisor of Hao Ren’s club. It seemed that her relationship with Hao Ren was not simple!

  “No, Brother Huang, there is another sentence below.” The henchman pointed to the last sentence in the post. “Specially stated, Lu Linlin, Lu Lili, and Xie Yujia will not join the club.”

  Seeing these seemingly unrelated words, Huang Xujie sighed. “Without Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who will participate in this unpopular club? Is there anyone who will go to him? He is overestimating his charm!”

  Huang Xujie waved his hand. “Don’t worry, this kind of club will not have many members!”

  542 The Club!

  “The Eighth Generation of Broadcast Exercises. First exercise, march on the spot. Go!

  “One, two, three, four…”

  Hao Ren was sleeping on his bed when he heard the music from outside in the morning.

  “Ren! Ren! Their school year has started!” Zhou Liren, who was on the upper berth of the other bed, pushed at Hao Ren’s bed in excitement.

  Half asleep, Hao Ren realized that it was Zhao Yanzi’s first day.

  “Haha, that’s the morning exercises!” Zhou Liren hopped off the bed and ran onto the balcony in his slippers.

  Students from all the dorm buildings came out to watch LingZhao Middle School’s broadcast exercises.

  Hao Ren got to the balcony as well and saw students lined up in classes, doing morning exercises.

  Dorm Building No.7 was only one wall away from LingZhao Middle School. Hao Ren’s Room 302 was higher than the fence so that they could see the sports field clearly.

  “There are so many cute girls!” Zhou Liren stared at the girls on the sports field and sighed.

  Hao Ren scanned the area, looking for Zhao Yanzi; students in Grade Nine should be doing the exercises as well. The teachers would only take up this period during the second half of the term when the high school entrance exam was near.

  Middle school students were developing, so the heights of the students were largely different.

  Hao Ren spotted Zhao Yanzi immediately; she was in the fourth column and the second row.

  Students were lined up according to their heights with girls in the front and boys in the back. The shorter students were standing in front of the taller ones.

  Zhao Yanzi wasn’t tall in her class, so she was in the second row, right in front of Ling.

  “Third exercise, leg kicks!

  As the music and the broadcast changed, Zhao Yanzi had to change her movements according to the instructions. She looked a little absent-minded in her uniform, but she didn’t act too lost since a teacher was supervising her class.

  Hao Ren couldn’t help but laugh at her silly movements. Zhao Yanzi hopped lazily in her uniform, yet she still looked pretty cute.

  “Is little cousin there?” Zhou Liren asked when he noticed Hao Ren’s smile.

  “Not telling you.” Hao Ren rolled his eyes at Zhou Liren coldly on purpose.

  “Come on, Brother Ren!” Zhou Liren stuck his neck out with his hands holding onto the railing. He started the search himself.

  However, all the students of LingZhao Middle School were in light blue uniforms. He got lost in search of Zhao Yanzi. Besides, how could his eyesight be compared with Hao Ren?

  Zhao Yanzi looked up at the university dorm buildings as she followed the instructions.

  This was their first day of the school and their first broadcast exercise on this campus. Many university students were watching them, and Zhao Yanzi wondered if Hao Ren was one of them.

  However, there were so many balconies, and she remembered that Hao Ren’s dorm building was the ‘furthest’ from her school. She couldn’t spot Hao Ren after searching for a while, and she made a few mistakes, causing her to stand out in the group.

  “Eighth exercise, cooling down!

  It was the last portion of the broadcast exercise, so the movements slowed down.

  “Is Uncle amongst them, Zi?” Ling made large steps on purpose in order to get closer to Zhao Yanzi, and she asked quietly when she got the chance.

  “No. His room is far from here!” Zhao Yanzi answered.

  “Were you looking for him? You made a few mistakes today,” Ling said.

  “What are you talking about? I was thinking about today’s homework!” Zhao Yanzi tried to justify herself.

  The exercises finished, and all the classes exited the sports field along with the music. Zhao Yanzi was obviously the prettiest girl in her class.

  When it was Zhao Yanzi’s class turn to exit the sports field, she looked back at the university dorm buildings. She had a weird feeling and felt like Hao Ren was staring at her.

  “Go back to bed, go back to bed,” Zhao Jiayi and Cao Ronghua lost their interest as the youthful girls exited the sports field. They went back into their room from the balcony.

  Their schedule was completely opposite of Hao Ren’s. Most of their classes were in the afternoon beside the mandatory classes. That was because they wanted to sleep in.

  Zhou Liren stuck his neck out in search for Hao Ren’s ‘little cousin,’ but he still couldn’t find her.

  Hao Ren kept her eyes on Zhao Yanzi the entire time. He even saw her messing around with Ling when she returned to her classroom.

  The lively and familiar scene reminded Hao Ren of his own middle school days. It would be fun if he could turn back time and become Zhao Yanzi’s classmate.

  He checked the time and realized that his first class was about to start. So, he freshened up and headed to his class.

  Xie Yujia was already there when he arrived at the classroom.

  “Hi!” Xie Yujia waved at him.

  She looked as refreshing as usual in her white t-shirt and jeans. Several guys were checking her out as they nudged each other when Hao Ren entered the room. They were probably betting on asking for Xie Yujia’s phone number.

  However, their cheerful faces immediately turned gloomy when she greeted Hao Ren with a bright smile.

  Hao Ren glanced at the guys as he walked to Xie Yujia and sat down. These guys were probably freshmen, and they thought Xie Yujia was new as well.

  “How is it going with the club?” Hao Ren asked.

  “Um, everything is set up. Since Vice Principal Lu was here yesterday, he stamped our documents. I registered at the administration office after that, and the club is officially established.” Xie Yujia smiled.

  “Good,” Hao Ren was relieved at this news.

  “Should we put some advertisements up? Newly established clubs don’t always get many students. But since new students just started school, we can rent a place and host some recruiting events.” Xie Yujia continued.

  She
thought of many activities for Hao Ren last night; she tried to think of some ways to recruit students for him so that this Calligraphy Club wouldn’t be too miserable with only a few members.

  “It’s ok. Lu Qi has already spread the word for me. Let’s go to the cafeteria and put up a little table by the door,” Hao Ren said.

  “Don’t we need some promotional activities? Should we ask Lu Linlin and Lu Lili for help?” Xie Yujia asked.

  East Ocean University encouraged the students in enriching their spare times, so the students established a lot of clubs. However, newly started clubs usually found recruiting difficult since students would instead join the large clubs than small ones with few members.

  In addition, the school board would cancel any clubs’ qualification if they could not recruit over 50 members within a month. During all these years, only large clubs like the Swimming Club and Boardgame Club could survive.

  Xie Yujia was worried about Hao Ren’s club. He went through a lot of trouble to get it running, so she didn’t want it to be disqualified after a month. Therefore, she suggested that he should promote the new club in early September.

  “It’s alright…” Hao Ren started to comfort Xie Yujia instead. Although it was his club, Xie Yujia had taken a lot of effort in running around for him.

  He couldn’t help but smile at her serious look. That was how her personality was; she would try her best in everything she did.

  “Ok. As long as you say it’s alright!” Xie Yujia finally smiled in relief. She believed in Hao Ren’s abilities and realized that she overly-stressed herself.

  As they chit-chatted, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili in their floral short skirts and black sandals walked into the classroom, laughing and chatting.

  The guys who were staring at Xie Yujia were suddenly stupefied with their eyes lighting up. If Xie Yujia was only pretty to them, the twins were astonishing.

  “Gongzi!”

  Before they could stare more at the sisters, these two beauties fastened their steps and headed toward Hao Ren who was at the back of the classroom.

  The guys who were looking at them gasped.

  What was the definition of brutal? This was it! They saw this quiet, beautiful girl in the back row when they first entered the classroom, but they soon realized that she already had a boyfriend just before they were going to ask for her number. Then, they saw these two lively twin sisters coming in which brought them hope, but those two pretty girls ran toward that guy in the back as well!
