A level 4 detox pill was very valuable to ordinary dragon clans, and it showed Hao Ren’s admirable generosity when he saved the prince of South Ocean while disregarding the boundaries of different oceans.
“It was nothing.” Her gesture honored Hao Ren.
He still remembered the favor Song Qingya did for him when she let him and Zi stay in her home for one night.
“I’m sorry that my elder brother tried to test you with attacks. He’s a proud man, and he even opposed me marrying Yongding Dragon King in the beginning,” Song Qingya said apologetically.
When she returned to the South Ocean Dragon Palace, she had asked about the things happening in the South Ocean lately and knew that her proud brother had attacked Hao Ren in the West Ocean Dragon Palace and was defeated by Hao Ren with ease, which was why she hastened to East Ocean City to apologize to Hao Ren.
As the Seventh Princess of South Ocean and the younger sister of the Third Prince of South Ocean, her apology represented herself and South Ocean as a whole.
Among the four oceans, the most famous commanding general was Hao Ren, the Commanding General of East Ocean. West Ocean was in decline while Hao Ren defeated the other two commanding generals, proving that the other two oceans were no match for East Ocean.
After coming to East Ocean City, Song Qingya visited Hao Ren first instead of Zhao Guang, showing the importance of Hao Ren’s stance.
“It was just a small misunderstanding.” Hao Ren waved his hand.
South Ocean and North Ocean had been aggressive in fighting for their interests, but they had their reasons. Now that the two dragon clans had backed down and agreed to the East Ocean Dragon Clan being first place, Hao Ren didn’t mind these small conflicts.
In the world of cultivation, people respected the powerful ones. Although the dragon cultivators didn’t kill each other like human cultivators, the competitions were fierce.
In fact, after Hao Ren defeated the other two commanding generals, the two oceans sent messengers to East Ocean with gifts as a gesture of apology.
Zhao Guang hadn’t told Hao Ren these things since they were the exchanges between dragon palaces, and they weren’t that important.
Seeing Hao Ren holding no grudges against South Ocean, Song Qingya smiled with relief and replied, “Ok. We’ve talked enough about the affairs of the dragon palaces.”
She opened her golden purse and drew out a small plastic bag. “These are 50 pictures I took in Phuket last week, and we will pick one of them as the cover picture for my new album. I signed each of the pictures, and I guess Zi might want them.”
In the distance, the students extended their necks, trying to see what Song Qingya gave Hao Ren.
The guys were especially green with envy, wondering if the superstar singer Song Qingya had a special relationship with Hao Ren.
“Su Han! Su Han is here!” Someone yelled.
619 Why Are You Jealous…
The students looked back, and they saw Su Han behind them.
Wearing a tight-fitting white floral petal-shaped shirt, a pair of tight-fitting black jeans that revealed her ankles, and a pair of black heels, Su Han looked fresh and elegant.
The guys were boiling with excitement since they could see the super beauty of the school and the superstar singer in one picture.
Su Han stepped toward Hao Ren while all the students made way for her, knowing she wasn’t to be messed with.
The members of the Calligraphy Club also made way for her, not daring to block an official inspector.
The bodyguards wanted to step over to block the icy beauty due to their professional instinct, but they stopped when they saw her eyes.
The bodyguards were mostly retired soldiers. When they saw Su Han, they sensed an indescribable danger behind her beautiful eyes.
“Hehe, Ms. Su,” Song Qingya greeted Su Han in a low voice when she saw Su Han walking over.
“Erm-hum.” Su Han nodded and looked at Song Qingya.
She had been cultivating in her office and didn’t feel like it was a big deal when she sensed Song Qingya coming to school. As the Seventh Princess of South Ocean, Song Qingya’s realm was ordinary, not a master.
When Song Qingya was recognized by the students and caused an upheaval among the students, Su Han still didn’t plan to come out for such a minor thing.
However, when she found that Song Qingya had come to see Hao Ren and handed an object to him, she couldn’t stay put anymore.
She knew that Song Qingya was married to Yongding Dragon King in the North and had even given birth to a dragon baby, but she became suspicious when Song Qingya talked to Hao Ren in private and gave him stuff under the watch of the students.
She decided to come and check in person.
As a princess of South Ocean, Song Qingya knew that Inspector Su Han was responsible for East Ocean City, but she didn’t expect that her visit would disturb Su Han.
“I met Hao Ren once, and I came to give him some photos. I’ll also pay a visit to the Dragon King and Dragon Queen of East Ocean while I’m here.” At Su Han’s silence, Song Qingya immediately explained.
While East Ocean City was the host city of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, Su Han was the regional inspector here, which explained why Song Qingya had to be cautious with both parties.
Hearing Song Qingya’s explanation and seeing the photos in Hao Ren’s hand, Su Han nodded and replied, “Oh. I see.”
Song Qingya’s feminine instinct told her that Su Han had been a bit hostile when she came over, and the hostility gradually decreased upon her explanation.
“Does Su Han, who is close to peak Qian-Level, like Hao Ren as well?” she thought.
Song Qingya didn’t dare to voice her question since she couldn’t afford to offend Su Han who was superior both in strength and status.
From a distance, the students looked closely at Su Han and Song Qingya and were surprised to find that Su Han was more beautiful than Song Qingya!
Standing with Song Qingya, Su Han also looked like a superstar with a more dazzling presence!
Hao Ren looked at Su Han in surprise, wondering why she had come out when Song Qingya gave something to him.
Remembering the scene on Fifth Heaven when he removed the essence-locking note for Su Han, Hao Ren’s heart missed a beat, wondering if Su Han was jealous.
“Watch your behavior and try not to cause upheavals in the school.” Su Han stared at Hao Ren with her beautiful eyes.
“Ok…” Hao Ren couldn’t say anything else.
After all, he didn’t cause the upheaval.
Su Han glanced at Song Qingya and continued, “It’s nothing. I just came to see what the upheaval was about.”
“Ok…” Song Qingya nodded gently, cautious with this high-level inspector despite her identity as a married princess of South Ocean.
With the power expansion of the Dragon God Shrine in the recent years, Su Han was powerful while she was in charge of East Ocean City, one of the four main cities of the four ocean dragon clans.
The students in the distance watched Su Han talk with Song Qingya for a little.
Huahuahua… The crowd immediately gave way to her when she turned and walked away.
Su Han’s presence was so strong! Instead of being overshadowed by Song Qingya, she almost overshadowed Song Qingya!
In the crowd, Jiang Yan watched Su Han walk away in amazement. She had heard about the close relationship between Hao Ren and Su Han, and the rumor was proved today!
She thought she was pretty, but she was no match for Su Han!
Zi… A black SUV suddenly stopped behind the crowd.
Wearing a red silk blouse, Zhao Hongyu looked around the crowd and spotted Song Qingya.
“Sister Zhao!” Song Qingya waved her hand and walked over with Hao Ren.
The students were no longer as crazy as before; they just took pictures with their cell phones without stopping and swarming over.
Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to squeeze to the
front of the crowd so that she could admire her idol at a close range.
In the company of Song Qingya, Hao Ren remained calm, looking confident and handsome.
“You asked me to have tea with you near East Ocean City, and I waited for you. However, you’re here visiting Ren,” Zhao Hongyu looked at Song Qingya and said helplessly.
“Sorry about that. The students blocked me,” Song Qingya said apologetically.
Wearing her sunglasses, she had planned to find Hao Ren to express her gratitude and apologize in a low-profile manner before giving him the signed pictures. However, she was surrounded by the students and was late for her appointment.
Most of the students didn’t know who Zhao Hongyu was, but Jiang Yuan and other students in the Arts Program knew that she was the boss of the famous LOM studio!
Except for the few who could become artists, most of the students in the Arts Program wanted to become designers and architects. LOM studio was the top architectural studio in the country and even in the world!
Seeing Zhao Hongyu talk animatedly with Hao Ren, Jiang Yuan instantly knew that Hao Ren’s level was far higher than hers!
Who was Zhao Hongyu’s husband? The CEO of Mingri Group, the financial sponsor of East Ocean University!
“This is probably the reason why even Vice Principal Lu backs Hao Ren,” she thought.
Thinking of her arrogant attitude toward Hao Ren a while ago, Jiang Yan was so ashamed that she wanted to die! With such great connections, lots of pretty girls would offer themselves to Hao Ren.
“Hehe, Yujia is here too?” Seeing Xie Yujia in the crowd, Zhao Hongyu greeted her with a smile.
“Hello, Auntie!” Xie Yujia stood out and said politely.
“Come and have dinner at my home tonight; Qingya will be there too,” Zhao Hongyu said.
“No, thank you. I need to study tonight,” Xie Yujia replied.
Hearing their conversation, Jiang Yuan found that Xie Yujia also seemed close with Zhao Hongyu.
After all, it was not like everyone could have dinner at Zhao Hongyu’s home!
She had thought that Xie Yujia was just an ordinary pretty girl, but now she knew better!
“With such a magnificent presence and gentle and elegant demeanor, her background is probably a lot better than mine!” she thought, “I even dreamed of taking Hao Ren from her side with ease.”
Hao Ren didn’t even spare her a glance!
“Ok. When you have time, come to my house with Ren to have dinner.” Zhao Hongyu smiled.
While Zhao Hongyu talked with Xie Yujia, Zhao Yanzi had turned and hid in the crowd. She was supposed to have lunch with her classmates and rest during her lunch break, but she had come to East Ocean University to see Hao Ren, which explained why she had asked to board at school.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu had seen Zhao Yanzi hiding in the crowd, but she had no time to lecture her, so she pretended not to see her.
While she talked, she walked with Song Qingya to her SUV. While the students were still speculating who the pretty woman in red was, Zhao Hongyu had driven to the gate of the school with Song Qingya in her car.
Song Qingya’s fans from the school reacted suddenly and hurried after the car, trying to get Song Qingya’s signature and take pictures with her!
The girls from LingZhao Middle School swarmed over after hearing the news that Song Qingya was in East Ocean University, but they didn’t notice that Song Qingya had left in the SUV through the school gate.
With a simple act, Zhao Hongyu got Song Qingya out of the crowd, and Song Qingya’s assistant drove the white van out of the school with the bodyguards, following Zhao Hongyu’s car.
Zhou Liren dashed after the car, but he raced back immediately knowing that he couldn’t catch up with Song Qingya. He clutched Hao Ren and said, “Brother Ren! You are awesome!”
“What did Song Qingya give you?” The guys from other classes surrounded Hao Ren as well.
Seeing her mom driving away, Zhao Yanzi dashed out of the crowd and reached her hand.
“Show me! Show me!”
“Here! It’s for you!” Hao Ren handed the bag to Zhao Yanzi.
In the transparent plastic bag, they could see the beautiful pictures.
Obviously, Song Qingya had spent lots of money on the photos she had taken overseas with first-class photographers and equipment.
Impatient, Zhao Yanzi opened the bag in a hurry. She liked Song Qingya a lot, and she would have talked to Song Qingya if her mom hadn’t appeared.
There were altogether 50 pictures in the bag, and each of them was as glossy as a magazine cover photo with their bright colors and vibrant compositions.
Since only a few of the pictures would be published, these were precious collections! Each picture had Song Qingya’s signature, making them even more valuable.
“Brother Ren! Brother Ren! Give me some of the pictures!” Zhou Liren grabbed Hao Ren’s arm like a little girl who was begging for attention.
Hao Ren felt his hairs stand up in disgust. “They are Zi’s. You ask her.”
Hearing Hao Ren’s words, Zhou Liren instantly dropped Hao Ren’s arm and begged Zhao Yanzi, “Little cousin…”
“Humph! No!” Zhao Yanzi put away the pictures, giving Zhou Liren a firm refusal.
“Little cousin…” Zhou Liren begged her, putting his hands before his chest, and his 1.8-meter-tall figure shrunk to as small as Zhao Yanzi’s.
Hao Ren laughed at their antics when his phone rang in his pocket.
He took it out and saw it was Su Han.
“Why did your nature essence disappear? I didn’t ask you that since we were with other people. Besides, a metal-elemental dragon entered the school and stood close to you,” Su Han said through the cell phone.
620 Metal-Elemental Dragon!
“Metal-elemental dragon…?” Hao Ren became alert suddenly.
He had lost all his nature essence, so he sure couldn’t use the Inspector’s Token from the Dragon God Shrine. Although Su Han wasn’t a fan of cell phones, she could only contact him through her phone.
“I only sensed it when I went to see Song Qingya just now. He hid his nature essence, and I wouldn’t have been able to sense it if I weren’t close enough,” Su Han said.
Hao Ren listened as he turned to look around.
Song Qingya’s sudden appearance gathered many students here. Hao Ren lost all his nature essence, so he couldn’t recognize the metal-elemental dragon cultivator who was hiding amongst them.
The only two metal-elemental dragon cultivators he knew of were Qin Shaoyang and Xu Ke. This metal-elemental dragon cultivator who suddenly appeared of high level.
He didn’t inform regional inspectors when he entered East Ocean City. Obviously, he didn’t have any good intentions.
However, he would’ve abided by Dragon God Shrine’s rules if this had something to do with Qin Shaoyang. Since this was the case, this metal-elemental dragon cultivator probably had something to do with Xu Ke.
“Are you on the phone with Song Qingya?” Zhou Liren reached out to grab the phone when he saw Hao Ren on a call.
Hao Ren slightly poked him with two fingers and easily blocked his arm. It also made Zhao Liren’s arm very sore.
“It’s too dangerous. Come to my office,” Su Han said.
Hao Ren saw a sincere face with squinting eyes right in front of him before he could answer.
“Senior, I had no idea that you even know the famous Song Qingya!” Xu Ke squeezed over and blocked Hao Ren’s way as he said cheerfully.
He had a band-aid on his face; it seemed like it was scratched by something.
“What’s wrong with your face?” Hao Ren asked.
“I don’t know. Something fell from the sky and scratched my face last weekend. Several flower pots were smashed too,” Xu Ke answered.
Hao Ren pouted. He knew that this band-aid was more like a reminder for him than a cover for his injury.
He knew that Xu Ke wouldn’t let it go after he
took the golden shield.
Even though Xu Ke joined the Calligraphy Club, he wasn’t actually convinced by Hao Ren.
“Gongzi!”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili suddenly appeared from the crowd and stood beside Hao Ren.
They carried out their Poison Pill Plan and leveled down from Qian to Kun. However, their strengths were still impressive.
Xu Ke was slightly surprised when he saw the twin sisters. Then, he smiled and said, “Senior, can I please get a copy of Song Qingya’s autograph?”
Hao Ren looked to his side and saw Zhao Yanzi being buried in the crowd. Everyone, no matter if they were familiar with her or not, wanted an autograph of Song Qingya from her.
“I don’t have one,” Hao Ren answered.
He was back to a mortal now so that he couldn’t see Xu Ke’s level. However, he didn’t feel like Xu Ke was only at Dui-level.
“So annoying! So annoying!” Zhao Yanzi shouted out suddenly as she stuck 20 photos into Hao Ren’s hands, “Go ask him for it!”
Zhao Yanzi picked her favorite 30 photos from the 50 and gave the rest to Hao Ren. She did this so that the girls wouldn’t surround her any longer.
Sure enough, the girls circled Hao Ren when he took over those photos. They all reached out their hands, asking for a photo.
They thought Song Qingya were going to stay for a bit on campus, but she left so soon. Therefore, these photos became their ultimate targets.
Zhao Yanzi was lucky to get rid of them. She bent over and sneaked out of the crowd since she was very small. She skipped lunch and ran back to her school; she couldn’t wait to show-off Song Qingya’s newest photos and autographs to her classmates!
After giving 20 to Hao Ren, she still had 30 photos left. One single photo was good enough to get those girls jealous.
“Ren! Ren! Give two photos to me!” Zhou Liren ran over and shouted at Hao Ren when he saw so many girls surrounding Hao Ren.
In fact, he wanted all the photos, but these girls would probably kill him if he took all 20 of them.
After all, he was not as great as Hao Ren at fighting since Hao Ren could fight against ten guys on his own and defeat the entire soccer team.
