For most of the royal princes, it was the first time that they met each other, but they got along well. Without the restraint of their fathers and elders, the young men talked with each other freely.
What they didn’t know was that despite his calmness, Hao Ren, the president of the Calligraphy Club which they would soon join, was going to venture into the Nine Dragon Palace, the holy place of the Dragon Tribe.
Entering Nine Dragon Place meant a high probability of death.
The Nine Dragon Palace was the safest when the four ocean dragon clans opened it together, but it was another story if one decided to break into it.
With Qiu Niu cultivating in the Nine Dragon Palace in seclusion, the four ocean dragon clans wouldn’t open the Nine Dragon Palace in a short time.
After lunch, they talked until the evening.
These royal princes from different dragon clans gained a great interest in life at the city, and they even considered bringing their wives to the school as well.
Some royal princes wanted to bring their favorite sisters into the city and try the student life at East Ocean University.
They were just toying with these ideas, but it would surely get Lu Qing, the Vice Principal, quite busy. After all, who could have expected that these royal princes would want to bring their families here!
Several of them looked young, but they had kids already. It would be a mess if the fathers and sons attended the same university!
“Hahaha…” They walked out of Hongji Square, laughing and having a good time.
Hao Ren led Xie Yujia and the Lu Sisters into the school and then toward the southern gate which connected with the student dorm area.
After walking alongside Hao Ren in silence for a while, Xie Yujia clenched her hands and finally asked, “Hao Ren, did Su Han ask you to go to a very dangerous place?”
“It’s… the Nine Dragon Palace,” Hao Ren answered.
“Does Zi know?” Xie Yujia continued to ask.
“I haven’t told her yet.”
“Is it… very dangerous?” Xie Yujia stopped and caught Hao Ren’s hand.
With his hand in her grip, Hao Ren had to stop as well.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at them and blinked their eyes.
“I don’t know, but I suppose it’s quite dangerous,” Hao Ren said.
“Then…” Xie Yujia’s tense expression softened. “Can you not go?”
It sounded like she was pleading in desperation.
She had suppressed her curiosity for half a day. She didn’t want to interfere with Hao Ren’s business, but she also didn’t want Hao Ren to be in danger. Her thoughts were contradicting each other.
Seeing her pitiable and hesitating expression, Hao Ren instantly understood how Elder Xingyue felt when Zhao Kuo said farewell to her before he headed to the Demon Sea to gain battle experience.
At that time, Zhao Kuo and Elder Xingyue just experienced a breakthrough in their relationships.
On that Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Kuo and Elder Xingyue were walking by the river while eating ice cream. Zhao Kuo had his black nose covered in white ice cream, and Elder Xingyue laughed. That was the happiest and most relaxed moment for both.
When Elder Xingyue saw Zhao Kuo off, her expression looked almost the same as Xie Yujia’s right now.
However, Zhao Kuo had returned safely.
“It’s dangerous, but it’s also a chance for me to break through,” Hao Ren said while looking at Xie Yujia.
When he came back from the Demon Sea, he understood what a narrow escape meant.
The path of cultivation was full of difficulties. If not for Duan Yao’s appearance, Hao Ren would have died in the Demon Sea. That was why Hao Ren began to have a good opinion of Duan Yao. After all, if Duan Yao didn’t offer help or pretended to fail, Lady Zhen wouldn’t blame her. It meant that Duan Yao really wanted to save him.
However, he couldn’t count on anyone to rescue him in the Nine Dragon Palace.
The Nine Dragon Palace was an enclosed space, and it was hard to know what dangers were lurking inside.
“Erm…” Biting on her lip, Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren and was at a loss for words.
She considered holding Hao Ren back together with Zhao Yanzi, but she didn’t want Hao Ren to think of her as a fussy girl.
“If Hao Ren doesn’t come back, what would happen to Grandma?” Xie Yujia thought. She wanted Hao Ren to think twice before he acted, but she worried that such comments would add to his burden.
“Take care of my parents and grandma,” Hao Ren said as if he had seen through her thoughts.
Su Han wanted to break through, so he must help her in the adventure into the Nine Dragon Palace. He made a promise to her, and he was paying back the gratitude that he owed Su Han.
This breakthrough was Su Han’s ultimate goal.
However, he knew that if he went back on his words and didn’t go to the Nine Dragon Palace, Su Han wouldn’t force him.
Su Han would find a way to go in there by herself.
Hao Ren didn’t want her to take the risk alone. In the Nine Dragon Palace, only his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could work.
“Gongzi… Let us go with you,” the Lu sisters said.
“I’m going with Su Han, and only two people can enter,” Hao Ren said.
As the ancestral place of the Dragon Tribe, the Nine Dragon Palace was more dangerous to cultivators without dragon cores.
Xie Yujia swallowed her words. She wanted to go with Hao Ren but knew that she would only add to their burden with her low realm.
They stood on the path that was between two basketball courts and led to the southern gate of the school. The students who were playing basketball saw Hao Ren, Xie Yujia, and the Lu sisters through the iron fences.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren quietly while her gaze lingered on his eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth… Despite her best wishes, she was afraid that she wouldn’t see him again.
However, the flashing lights in Hao Ren’s eyes told her that since he had taken the path of cultivation, she had no choice but to let him do him.
“Take care of my parents and grandma for me,” Hao Ren repeated.
He was afraid that he couldn’t come back, but he was never a coward and wouldn’t back out after promising Su Han.
Most of the time, he just made the decisions, and Xie Yujia would have to agree. That made Hao Ren feel sorry for her.
After opening her arms, Xie Yujia stood on her toes and held Hao Ren’s neck tightly with pursed lips.
The guys on the basketball courts stopped playing and watched with curiosity.
As a reserved person, Xie Yujia had never shown any intimacy in public places. But this time, she didn’t care about others’ opinions.
“Big Zhumu…” Sensing her reluctance to let go, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili called out in a low voice.
“Come back safe,” Xie Yujia whispered into Hao Ren’s ear.
With her cheek pressing on Hao Ren’s, she held onto Hao Ren’s neck tightly.
The guys in the basketball courts on both sides were green with envy.
Not knowing that Hao Ren was going to ‘battle’, they thought he was immersed in an intimate moment with his girlfriend.
Hao Ren had experienced all kinds of dangers on his path of cultivation. If he only wanted to enjoy comfort in a safe environment, he could live comfortably under the protection of the East Ocean Dragon Clan and enjoy the company of the gentle Xie Yujia and the vivacious Zhao Yanzi.
However, it was Hao Ren’s creed to protect the people around him with all his abilities.
“For me and for Little Zi,” Xie Yujia continued.
She was a bit jealous that Hao Ren would go to the Nine Dragon Palace for Su Han. However, considering that Su Han had rescued Hao Ren several times and even got severely injured for him, she thought that Hao Ren was doing the right thing.
“Absolutely… I’ll come back in one piece,” Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia pressed her chest tightly against Hao Ren’s without holding back.
“While Hao Ren continues to do his best, he will encounter more dangers,” Xie Yujia thought of something…
Meanwhile, the guys on the basketball courts on both sides of the road walked to the iron fences and watched Hao Ren and Xie Yujia at a close range.
Xie Yujia loosened her arms and placed her hands on Hao Ren’s shoulders, staring into his eyes.
Her gaze was full love.
This sight dazed the guys who were standing opposite to her.
“Hao Ren’s girlfriend Xie Yujia is so beautiful. She doesn’t even have makeup on!” they thought to themselves.
“I’ve got to go.” Hao Ren kissed Xie Yujia’s forehead tenderly before turning toward the direction of the Administrative Building.
Standing by Xie Yujia, the Lu sisters looked after Hao Ren as well.
Xie Yujia stood there for a few seconds and then turned to walk toward the dorms. She knew that Hao Ren wanted to accompany her a bit more, and that was why he walked this way with her.
“Wow… Are they breaking up peacefully?” the guys thought.
Seeing Hao Ren and Xie Yujia parting ways with grim expressions, the guys thought with pleasure, “The so-called perfect match didn’t end well! One is a beautiful girl, and the other has countless girls pursuing him. This relationship surely wouldn’t last long!”
These tall guys who thought that they were handsome looked at each other gloatingly, thinking that their curses had come true.
A super beauty like Xie Yujia didn’t need to lower herself by staying with Hao Ren who had lots of female pursuers. She could get any guy she wanted, and he would cherish her like a princess!
With her elegant beauty, Xie Yujia had become one of the most popular girls in the school. Many guys who liked her style had been watching her every move!
After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili ran after Xie Yujia.
From the glance that Hao Ren gave them when he turned around, they understood that their responsibility was to protect Xie Yujia and others.
Hao Ren’s adventure into the Nine Dragon Palace was indeed full of dangers, but his realm would increase greatly if he could return.
If Hao Ren could reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm, they could stay by his side forever!
While the Lu sisters walked toward the dorms with Xie Yujia, Hao Ren crossed the square before the library and came to the Administration Building.
When he opened the door to Su Han’s office, he saw Su Han in her white windbreaker, looking out of the window.
The office had been tidied up with the files stacked on the right corner of the desk and chairs pushed under the desk. The array formation in the office had also been removed.
“Let’s go!” Su Han turned to look at Hao Ren and said lightly.
