Chapter 247: Um…They All Seem to be Powerful
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
“Grandma?” Hao Ren was surprised. “You are coming back on your own? Should I come to pick you up?”
“Don’t worry and focus on your studies. I’m coming back with a friend from my hometown who is coming to East Ocean City for some errands; he can accompany me back,” Grandma said on the other side of the phone.
“Around what time will you be back?” Hao Ren was excited.
He had a great relationship with his Grandma, so he missed her a lot after such a long time.
“The train arrives at 5:00 PM and my friend will go ran his errands after dropping me off. You don’t need to come and pick me up,” she said in a pleasant tone. It seemed like she had a great time in Zhejiang.
“Ok! I’ll come back to spend some time with you tonight then!” Hao Ren hung up the phone cheerfully.
Zhao Yanzi came over after he got off the phone, “Grandma is coming back?”
“Ya…” Hao Ren nodded.
His phone rang again.
It was still Grandma, “I forgot to tell you to bring Zi along. I brought her some local specialties.”
“Ok.” before Hao Ren hung up, Grandma added, “Invite Yujia as well! I brought her some too!”
“Um…Grandma…are you trying to start a war?” Hao Ren thought to himself.
Grandma hung up the phone cheerfully before Hao Ren had time to respond.
Zhao Yanzi got closer after the call, “What did Grandma say? Did she bring me gifts?”
“Some local specialties,” Hao Ren answered.
“Ah? Is that right?” she got so excited her eyes were shining, “Did she bring sweet potatoes?”
Hao Ren looked at her and shrugged, “All you know is sweet potatoes…”
“Mr. Hao, Ms. Zi, please get in the car,” Lu Qing opened the door in front of them.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and lightly pulled on the edge of Hao Ren’s shirt, “Uncle, can you ask grandma to bring some sweet potatoes…”
“I’ll ship you a truck of them if you get the first place in your class on the finals!” Hao Ren sat in the car and turned back to her.
“Pttf!” Zhao Yanzi bit her lip and pouted.
Lu Qing drove steadily, not caring about the argument between the two.
It was a bit chilly in the morning at the beach.
The sky above East Ocean City was back to normal, and the Nine Dragon Palace which appeared for a week had disappeared already. Hao Ren was a bit not used to it.
The car arrived at LingZhao Middle School’s gate, and Zhao Yanzi got off the car. She turned back to Hao Ren and snorted three times at him.
She didn’t bring her backpack today. Who knew how she would be able to study today.
Lu Qing started the vehicle and headed steadily toward East Ocean University.
“Elder Lu, is there any updates on the attack at the Dragon Palace last night?” Hao Ren asked seriously.
“Not for now, but we suspect that it was West Ocean’s trial attack,” Lu Qing answered with a serious look on his face. “They sent over a powerful character this time.”
“What kind of powerful character?” Hao Ren immediately asked.
“His nickname is Black Wolf, and he is at mid-tier Qian-level. Although he hasn’t reached the top-tier yet, other mid-tier Qian-level Masters wouldn’t be able to defeat him,” Lu Qing said.
“Black Wolf…” Hao Ren repeated this name quietly.
“He showed up in East Ocean City under the mission of protecting Zeng Yitao. However, he is actually a very skilled assassin and intelligence agent. It is very obvious what the West Ocean’s intention is by sending him here,” Lu Qing continued.
“Is Zi going to be ok?” Hao Ren was a little worried.
“They wouldn’t dare to do anything to Miss. Zi yet. Plus, we have arranged some masters in her school to protect her,” Lu Qing answered.
Hao Ren was still worried despite Lu Qing’s answer. However, it would probably be overly dramatic to hide Zi in the Dragon Palace due to a simple move from the West Ocean.
He landed his hand on the necklace on his chest and felt the Coil Dragon Golden Spear laying quietly inside. It was Zeng Yitao’s Natal Dharma Treasure, and it was still in Hao Ren’s hands.
Even thinking with Little White’s bum would get him the conclusion that Zeng Yitao’s would for sure seek for an opportunity to scramble for the treasure. Especially now that the Nine Dragon Palace event had finished, how would Zeng Yitao let his Natal Dharma Treasure stay in someone else’s hands?
“Be careful yourself. No matter what, you are a core member of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. And your technique is the weakest,” Lu Qing said.
“I know,” Hao Ren revolved the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Technique smoothly in his body as the Dragon Core secretly became active as well.
39 of the opening had been broken through, and one more would get him to the Zhen level.
“Though Su Han intended to protect you when she asked you to become her Assisting Inspector,” Lu Qing said abruptly.
He continued as he drove, “It is a serious crime to attack an Inspector, even just an Assisting Inspector. The West Ocean wouldn’t risk it unless they have to. Plus, Zi is the princess, and East Ocean would fight to the death with them if they harm her. Therefore, they wouldn’t dare act rashly.
“Um…” Hao Ren nodded. Reuniting with his Grandma was the most important thing on his mind at the moment.
The vehicle entered East Ocean University. If the students saw Lu Qing, the Managing Vice Principal driving Hao Ren to school, they would be surprised to a point where their eyes would pop out!
“Thank you…Principal Lu,” Hao Ren hesitated as he exited the vehicle. It was better to address Lu Qing as Principal in the university.
“Um, go to your classes. I have already let the department know about this. But make sure your grades aren’t too bad,” Lu Qing said.
“Ok, I know!” Hao Ren headed to the Academic building in a rush.
It wasn’t his intention to skip classes, but there was issue after issue with East Ocean. There shouldn’t be many things going on after the Nine Dragon Palace event this time.
All his classmates were already in the classroom when he entered.
Xie Yujia was tiding up her notes in the front row. She smiled at Hao Ren when she saw him enter.
“Damn it, Hao Ren, you skipped another day of classes!” Huang Jianfeng shouted from the back.
Hao Ren walked over, “Is everything alright?”
Zhou Liren sat up from his seat, “I have two news, a big one, and a small one. Which one would you like to hear first?”
“Cut the cr*p!” Hao Ren made a mess of Zhou Liren’s hair, “Tell me both!”
Although Zhou Liren seemed tall, he was actually the lowest of the food chain in their dorm. He said as he smoothed his hair with his fingers, “The big news is that Xie Wanjun went to the States!”
“Ah?” Although Hao Ren had already heard the gossip, he was still surprised.
“I haven’t finished yet!” Zhou Liren was excited, “He announced Zhao Jiayi as the captain of the basketball team right before he left! Zhao Jiayi is now the captain of the team even though he has only been a member for less than a month!”
“Zhao Jiayi will be leading the school basketball team through the rest of the National College Basketball League?” Hao Ren was surprised.
“Yeah, and he is leading training in the sports center right now! How cool is that! The basketball team captain! He was still playing with us a few weeks ago!” Zhou Liren said with excitement as if the captain was himself.
“And what is the small news?” Hao Ren asked.
“The small news is…” Zhou Liren looked ahead, “Xie Yujia resigned her position as the Class President!”
“Oh…” Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia from the back in surprise. He asked, “Who is the new Class President?”

Zhou Liren pointed to Hao Ren’s side, “He’s right beside you!”
Hao Ren turned over, “Yu Rong?”
Yu Rong smirked, “Heheheh, you didn’t expect me to become the class president, did you?”
“Damn it! Our class is doomed.” Hao Ren sighed.
“Orders, everyone! Sit down and get ready for the class! Sit down!” Yu Rong pointed to the front as he shouted, standing on his chair.
Nothing about him looked like a Class President. He actually looked like a complete gangster!
Xie Yujia had her head down, looking at her notes; not caring about anything. She felt a lot less pressure without the Class President title.
A day passed by quickly. As the “newly promoted” Class President, Yu Rong misuses his authority a lot. He was even walking with a straighter back.
Xie Yujia was way more low-key in comparison. She paid attention in classes, went to the cafeteria with Ma Lina, and borrowed books from the library…her life was as quiet as a little white flower on campus.
She sure would be sad since her brother just left for the States the day before. The brother who took care of her all along left East Ocean University and left East Ocean City.
Hao Ren sent Xie Yujia a text during the last two classes in the afternoon, “Grandma came back from Zhejiang, and she invited you over tonight.”
Xie Yujia turned back immediately with a surprised look on her face.
She then turned around to type on her cellphone.
Soon enough, Hao Ren received her message, “Ok, let’s leave together after class.”
“Woah! Relationships sure can change a person! You are typing a lot faster on your phone now!” Zhou Liren sneaked over.
“Get out of here!” Hao Ren blocked him away with his hand.
“The two of you! Stop talking during class!” Yu Rong reminded them from behind.
Hao Ren turned back at him and thought, “Come on, you were always the one who talked the most in class.”
“And you! Stop playing on your phone!” Yu Rong reminded another student.
Hao Ren took in a deep breath – he really missed the days when Xie Yujia was still the Class President…
After the two classes, Yu Rong dashed to the podium, “Let me make an announcement now…”
“Oh…” all the students ignored him and left.
“What are we eating for dinner?”
“Soybean noodles?”
“There is probably a movie playing in Building J.”
They chatted as they exited the classroom.
Yu Rong was stupefied on the podium, “Damn it! Do I really lack prestige?”
Hao Ren secretly laughed at him. He patted Xie Yujia’s shoulder and left the classroom with her.
“I haven’t seen Grandma for a long time,” she said happily.
Hao Ren wasn’t sure if it was his misconception to think that Xie Yujia was more like a friend without the Class President title.
“Yeah, she insisted that you come over. Let’s go,” Hao Ren held Xie Yujia’s hand as they walked down the stairs.
Yu Rong was still yelling in the classroom, “Come back, everyone! I have an announcement to make!”
But everyone had already left.
The campus twilight was lovely. Xie Yujia walked silently beside Hao Ren.
“Your brother went to the States yesterday?” Hao Ren asked.
“Um, he could have gone before then, but he was worried about the game this year. However, he told me that he could go at ease after the last game,” Xie Yujia said.
Hao Ren looked at her and thought, “The ‘ease’ Xie Wanjun talked about may not be just about the game.”
Since it was not a weekend, there weren’t many students waiting at the bus stop at the school gate.
“Um…Hao Ren,” Xie Yujia said lightly after hesitating on her seat beside Hao Ren for a few seconds.
“Um?” Hao Ren turned to her.
“I resigned the Class President position not only because I was tired. Also…I have more things to do,” Xie Yujia said.
“More things?” Hao Ren looked at her, confused.
“Um,” Xie Yujia nodded, “Some things beyond my imagination.”
“Did…the old Grandma say something to you?” Hao Ren asked timidly.
“Um…” Xie Yujia shrugged at Hao Ren with her hands facing up.
In the middle of her white palms where the Laogong acupoint was, a golden note was slowly moving!
“Are you hiding a lot of things from me?” Xie Yujia took her hand back and asked Hao Ren.
Hao Ren stared at her in surprise, “When did you…have this?”
“After you left her place that day, she taught me a Dharma Spell, and I practiced for a day…” Xie Yujia’s voice was getting quieter, to a point she didn’t even believe it.
Hao Ren understood her feelings since he felt as if he was crazy when he first entered Zhao Yanzi’s life.
But…Xie Yujia achieved a gold godly noted like this in a day…Maybe her gift was even stronger than Su Han’s!
“I asked you if you believe in cultivation because that was what she asked me by writing on the paper,” Xie Yujia said.
“Did you think the old Grandma was not sane at the moment?” Hao Ren asked.
Xie Yujia nodded, “I thought she was not herself due to her age. But I found it abnormal when I got home. That was why I gave you a call.”
She looked up at Hao Ren again, “Does that mean…you are cultivating as well?”
“Mine…mine might be a bit different from yours,” Hao Ren shook his head immediately, “It is hard to explain!”
Xie Yujia looked utterly lost. These things were entirely beyond her comprehension.
“What is yours called?” Hao Ren thought for a bit before he asked her.
“Five Elemental Life-Death Note,” Xie Yujia bit her lip as she looked up into the sky outside. She whipped out her palm. The entire movement seemed to be very exhausting.
It was still quiet outside. The sunset glow looked very beautiful under the twilight.
Hao Ren was just about to take his eyes back in relief when a loud noise came from the sky!
The bus even shook three times as it drove forward!
Xie Yujia was shy. “I had no idea it is this powerful…”
She gritted her teeth. “Does this bus go straight to your place?”
“We still have to…” Hao Ren found himself stuttering, “To pick up…Zhao Yanzi.”
