Chapter 361: What to Love and What to Hate

Since Hao Ren was standing near Zhao Guang, he was able to hear Lu Qing’s words.

The message that turned Zhao Guang’s face pale was: The West Ocean Dragon Clan officially declared war!

Without the support of the two prominent allies, South Ocean and North Ocean, along with the turning of the other small dragon clans, the West Ocean Dragon Clan was left with no room to retreat!

Zhao Guang didn’t want to start a war; all he could do was to deliver this message to Zhao Haoran.

Yet, Zhao Haoran’s facial expression did not change a bit as if he knew this was going to happen. He nodded slightly.

“Principle Lu, how come you are late?” The mayor, who was busy greeting the guests, walked over immediately.

That stunning little girl, Wu Luoxue, followed her dad and walked over, followed by Zhen Congming.

“I was quite busy today; that’s why I’m a bit late,” Lu Qing smiled and replied.

Publicly, the Mingri Group was the biggest donor to the East Ocean University and held a seat in the Board of Directors of the school. Therefore, it was normal that Lu Qing was close to Zhao Guang.

“How come Manager Sun is still not here?” The mayor asked Lu Qing.

The mayor was talking about Elder Sun, Sun Yun, who was also the boss of Starlight Hotel and the founder of the Sun Yun Martial Art Dojos that had spread across the world.

People who were in this upper-class circle knew that Lu Qing and Sun Yun were good friends. Also, both of them were close to the CEO and Chairman of Mingri Group, Zhao Guang.

Many buildings at the East Ocean University were built and funded by Mingri Group, and Sun Yun’s martial art dojos and hotels were seemingly financed by the Mingri Group as well.

“Manager Sun has to deal with some urgent matters. It seems that he won’t be able to make it today,” Lu Qing replied.

“That’s unfortunate. Principle Lu, please enjoy yourself to the fullest!” The mayor waved at Lu Qing.

As the mayor slowly walked away, Wu Luoxue, who was holding a can of Sprite, followed and walked away. Zhen Congming, holding a glass of water, followed behind as well.

After Hao Ren looked at Wu Luoxue carefully, he realized that she was, in fact, more beautiful than a doll. It seemed like the reason why Zhen Congming wasn’t interested in any other girls was that this girl took his heart.

“Elder Sun has returned to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to deploy troops for battle,” Lu Qing moved closer to Zhao Guang and said quietly after the mayor walked away.

Of course, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang weren’t going to find out about what Lu Qing and Zhao Guang were discussing. They held each other’s hand and greeted other people they knew in the banquet hall.

Zhao Yanzi was holding a plate full of cantaloupe when she went back to Hao Ren’s side happily. However, she realized that Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had moved to somewhere else.

“Of course, the West Ocean Dragon Clan is going to react like that,” Zhao Haoran said firmly.

Lu Qing immediately looked toward the old dragon king, and Hao Ren’s attention was engaged as well.

“Zeng Xin’s grandson, Zeng Yitao, is now captured by me,” Zhao Haoran said slowly.

Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, Lu Qing, and Hao Ren looked at Zhao Haoran in shock. Zhao Yanzi was the only one that continued to eat the cantaloupe in her plate. Then, she saw everyone’s stunned expression and didn’t know what was going on since she didn’t hear what Zhao Haoran said.

“I will lock him in the East Ocean Dragon Palace and then attack the West Ocean Dragon Palace with ten times the force,” Zhao Haoran said calmly.

The West Ocean Dragon Clan placed Zeng Yitao in East Ocean City simply to anger the East Ocean Dragon Clan. With Zhao Haoran’s temper, he would not allow that to happen!

With the crown prince in Zhao Haoran’s hands, the West Ocean Dragon Clan only had two choices: surrender, or war! In the past, it was the West Ocean Dragon Clan that was secretly bullying the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Since the table had turned, East Ocean was explicitly targeting West Ocean, and there was nothing they could do about it!

With the support of the South Ocean and North Ocean, Oldman Zeng placed Zeng Yitao in the East Ocean City and thought that East Ocean wouldn’t dare to do anything about it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Haoran returned to the country. Essentially, West Ocean just sent a captive to East Ocean for nothing.

Zhao Guang couldn’t be compared to Zhao Haoran in terms of dominance and determination. Within one day, the North and South Ocean Dragon Clan were forced to back off. One day later, a full-scale war was declared against the West Ocean Dragon Clan!

At the very moment, Hao Ren admired Zhao Haoran greatly.

“This old man dares to do anything, even locking up Zeng Yitao and testing West Ocean Dragon Clan’s limit.”

“But that’s…” Zhao Hongyu was concerned.

The East Ocean Dragon Clan suddenly detained the prince of West Ocean Dragon Clan who was studying in the city. That sounded a bit…

“Huh!” Zhao Haoran walked toward the front door.

An awkward expression immediately appeared on Zhao Hongyu’s face.

“What’s going on with Zeng Yitao?” Zhao Yanzi looked up and asked Zhao Hongyu.

“He’s locked up by your grandpa,” Zhao Hongyu tried to say it calmly.

“Yes! That’s great! That jerk should be locked up!” after hearing the news, Zhao Yanzi was thrilled and almost started jumping.

When she returned to school today, she was furious to find that Zeng Yitao had been transferred back to her school. In addition, he went to the Middle School Department, asked her about the engagement, and triggered heated discussions in other nearby classes. She had no choice but to use the strength of her Foundation Establishment Realm and throw pencils at him, forcing Zeng Yitao, whose cultivation progress was destroyed, to retreat.

Just when Zhao Yanzi started worrying about being bothered by Zeng Yitao in the future, her grandpa captured Zeng Yitao. How could she not be thrilled about it?

Compare to Zeng Yitao, Zhao Yanzi suddenly felt like Hao Ren was a caring and kind guy who always made her happy.

“I just talked to your Auntie Yue Yang, you should go back with Hao Ren tonight,” Zhao Hongyu said to Zhao Yanzi.

“Mom!” Not sure what she thought that meant, her cheeks immediately turned red.

“Auntie Yue Yang will take you guys on a small trip tomorrow,” Zhao Hongyu continued.

“Oh?” Zhao Yanzi’s expression changed, “Oh…”

“Idiot, idiot, idiot…” Zhao Yanzi thought, “What am I thinking…”

“Oh!” Hao Ren coughed; he misheard Zhao Hongyu’s words as well.

In reality, Zhao Hongyu wanted Zhao Yanzi to stay at Hao Ren’s place not only because of the trip, but mainly because Zhao Guang and she had to go back to the dragon palace to maintain and control the overall situation.

They could not leave Zhao Yanzi in an empty house and didn’t want to bring her back to the dragon palace.

Zhao Yanzi never liked the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Also, since the war was coming, the East Ocean Dragon Palace would most likely be one of the main battlefields where the West Ocean Dragon Clan would send their armies.

“Ren, if you have nothing to do here, you and Zi can go back first,” Zhao Hongyu said.

“Sure!” Hao Ren replied immediately.

If it weren’t because of Zhao Haoran sending a car to pick him up from school, he would never attend these kinds of events.

The reason why Zhao Haoran wished to see him was probably that he wanted to see Hao Ren’s cultivation progress.

Zhao Yanzi stuffed the cantaloupes in her mouth as she seemed to be unwilling to part with the high-quality fruits at the event. However, she was not interested in this event where all the East Ocean City’s elites gathered together. She put two more pieces of cantaloupe in her mouth hurriedly and waved at Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang who were chatting with their friends. Then, she followed Hao Ren to the front door.

“Hey! Hey! Slow Down!”

Since Zhao Yanzi was wearing leather high-heels and a long dress, she wasn’t able to walk fast. She couldn’t help but yell at Hao Ren who walked directly out the door after she swallowed the pieces of cantaloupe.

Hao Ren walked to the road and waved at a taxi.

Zhao Yanzi rushed toward Hao Ren, tripping and falling into Hao Ren’s arms.

“So careless…” Hao Ren looked down and said to her.

“Baa!” Zhao Yanzi made a funny face and suddenly punched Hao Ren in his chest.

The power of the Foundation Establishment Realm was much greater than her previous strength; Zhao Yanzi’s punch could have punched a hole in a tree.

Even though Hao Ren was able to bare her strength, his chest still felt a little tight. He grabbed her hands and asked, “What are you doing?”

“It’s all because of you! I didn’t ask you to clean that well for me! I had to demonstrate today! And from now on, I have to clean as good as you every time!” Zhao Yanzi said angrily.

Hao Ran was baffled as he already forgot about that small incident. However, Zhao Yanzi, who was leaning on Hao Ren, was releasing a slight fragrance. Apparently, Zhao Hongyu had dressed her up carefully before coming to this event.

“Did you put makeup on?” Hao Ren looked down at her and asked.

“Makeup? Never!” Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her nose and broke free from Hao Ren’s arms before she got in the taxi.

“This girl, she is more beautiful than before. Is it because she started cultivating…?”

Hao Ren couldn’t help but smile. He then got in the taxi and gave the driver the address.

The taxi was driving toward the house by the sea. Under the street lights that were flashing by, Zhao Yanzi looked like the most exceptional sculpture created by the most talented artists; there was not a single flaw with her perfect facial features.

“Did my grandpa say anything to you?” Zhao Yanzi suddenly turned her head.

“He… seemed fine,” Hao Ren replied.

“What do you mean by fine? Was he mean to you?” Zhao Yanzi continued to ask.

“He was alright, not as mean as you.”

“You!” Zhao Yanzi pouted for a second. Then, she calmed down and said, “He’s like that all the time, mean to everyone. I have to visit him in the U.S. every summer, but I’m a little scared of him.”

“He is like your third uncle,” Hao Ren said.

“My third uncle is not as mean!” Mentioning this, Zhao Yanzi looked out the window and murmured, “I don’t know where he is right now…”

As Zhao Yanzi started missing her uncle, Hao Ren suddenly missed Zhao Kuo as well.

Under First Heaven, perhaps there were only two people who practiced the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Technique. One of them was Hao Ren, and the other one was Zhao Kuo.

“If my uncle is here, my pocket money would double…” Zhao Yanzi added sadly.

Bang!

Hao Ren smacked his head on the car window.

“Huh, but that’s okay. Grandpa must have locked Zeng Yitao in a cell inside the dragon palace. I should go there and mess with him when I have the chance! Life is still fun after all!”

Zhao Yanzi suddenly became happy again.

Hao Ren took in a deep breath. He suddenly felt like his future would be miserable if he didn’t start speeding up his cultivation progress…
