Chapter 701 - The Prince Circle?
Panda Novel
“Ms. Su…” Xie Yujia immediately greeted Su Han after seeing her walking toward them
“Erm.” Su Han answered coldly and looked at Hao Ren. “We’ll be leaving tomorrow. You come to my home tonight.”
Her tone was cold and indisputable.
Baffled, Xie Yujia looked at Su Han and then Hao Ren, wondering what Su Han was talking about. However, she didn’t feel it was right to interrupt.
“I… have school…” Hao Ren said.
“I’ve talked to Lu Qing, and you’ll take a one week leave,” Su Han interrupted Hao Ren.
“Ok.” Hao Ren knew that the time was near but didn’t expect Su Han not giving him any time to prepare.
“Well, we may never return,” Su Han suddenly continued.
Hao Ren’s heart lurched, and he sweated when he looked at Su Han’s cold face.
Taking a one week leave and might never return…
Su Han was always cool but never cold. In fact, she was easy-going occasionally.
Hao Ren knew that her ice-cold expression would only appear when she met someone she didn’t like, or she was very nervous.
The Nine Dragon Palace was not less dangerous than the Demon Sea.
Su Han and Hao Ren were going to face Qiu Niu, one of the ancestors of all dragons, and he was fiercer than Lady Zhen.
“That’s all.” Su Han turned sideways and walked through Hao Ren and Xie Yujia toward the cafeteria calmly.
Xie Yujia turned her head and looked at Su Han helplessly.
Su Han was like half a master to Xie Yujia since the former had once tutored her in cultivation, but she looked colder than before.
“Does… Su Han like Hao Ren as well?” Xie Yujia’s heart tightened a bit when her intuition whispered the words to her.
“Let’s go.” Seeing Xie Yujia standing there in a daze, Hao Ren held her slim hand and strode to the academic building.
Seeing Hao Ren walking while holding Xie Yujia’s hand, the guys could do nothing but envy.
Xie Yujia walked alongside Hao Ren obediently and quickened her steps. Hao Ren walked fast, but she liked being led by him.
The students were already all in the classroom. When Hao Ren and Xie Yujia arrived, they were several minutes late. As Hao Ren showed up at the entrance while pulling Xie Yujia behind him, all the students turned to look at them.
“Sorry, we are late.” After apologizing in a low voice, Hao Ren pulled Xie Yujia into the classroom and found seats beside Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.
While blushing, Xie Yujia followed Hao Ren to the seats with her head lowered.
Since she was a good student since little, she had never been led into a classroom by a guy in front of other students and teachers.
“Hehe, Big Zhumu has elevated the realm,” Lu Linlin said after glancing at Xie Yujia
Lu Lili looked at Xie Yujia in surprise as well. With Xie Yujia’s physique, her cultivation speed was supposed to be very slow, but she had advanced to top-tier Foundation Establishment Realm, which showed that she had worked hard in cultivation.
The students in the classroom all glanced at Hao Ren when he sat down.
They had thought that Hao Ren had done well in the school, but they had never imagined that he was Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang’s son. He was a special figure.
Xie Yujia borrowed Lu Lili’s notes and copied the key points while she listened to the teacher. Meanwhile, the golden shield spun on her collar slowly like a button, releasing weak nature essence.
The Life-Death Notes circulated in Xie Yujia’s body and worked together with the golden shield, forming a vague black-white Tai Chi pattern on the surface of the shield.
The original dharma note that Qingfeng Hermit injected into Xie Yujia’s body contained a trace of Heavenly Dao which were represented by Yin and Yang, Life and Death.
The golden shield had absorbed so much nature essence that it overfilled itself. The Life-Death Notes in Xie Yujia’s body circulated automatically, drawing out the excess nature essence from the golden shield and transferring it into Xie Yujia’s meridians.
Sitting beside Xie Yujia, Hao Ren didn’t know that he got some of the nature essence while the Life-Death Notes were adjusting the balance of the nature essence in Xie Yujia’s body.
According to the legends, powerful dharma treasures could function automatically and increase the nature essence intensity in an area with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers. The nature essence that the golden shield released was little, but it brought great benefits to Xie Yujia who was at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If Qingfeng Hermit were in East Ocean City, Xie Yujia could ask her for help. However, with Qingfeng Hermit cultivating in seclusion on Eighth Heaven, Xie Yujia had to cultivate by herself. It was a strenuous process.
In contrast, Zhao Yanzi could ask the dragon elders such as Lu Qing and Sun Yun for guidance. Also, when she returned to the dragon palace occasionally, Elder Xingyue would check her cultivation process.
Only after Qingfeng Hermit come out of her seclusion cultivation would Xie Yujia be taught properly.
Parents, Master… All the seniors whom Xie Yujia could depend on were not in East Ocean City, leaving her alone.
Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia as she copied the notes in earnest with her head leaning to one side, and he suddenly felt passionate toward her.
“After I come back from the Nine Dragon Palace, I will help Xie Yujia cultivate if I can gain a major breakthrough,” Hao Ren thought.
The four classes passed in the blink of an eye.
While Hao Ren was helping Lu Linlin and Lu Lili pack up, Lu Qi appeared at the door and beckoned at him.
Beside him was Chen Su, the Royal Prince of the Taibai Mountain Dragon Clan, who had just transferred to the school.
“They are probably here to invite me to lunch…” Hao Ren smiled and thought.
Lu Qi had introduced the Royal Prince of the Taibai Mountain Dragon Clan to this school due to his admiration of Hao Ren. From the perspective of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, Hao Ren should get to know him better.
When Hao Ren walked to the door, he saw a big group of young men standing on the other side of the door.
“Brother Hao,” Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren and said with a little awkwardness, “They are friends from different dragon clans. Chen Su invited some of them here, and others are friends of our friends.”
Hao Ren looked at them and realized that there were more than 30 young men in here. They had different realms and elemental attribute. Also, some dressed extravagantly while others wore plain clothes.
“This is the Royal Prince of the Min Mountain Dragon Clan; this is the Royal Prince of the Hongze Lake Dragon Clan; this is the Royal Prince of the Qinling Mountain Dragon Clan…”
Lu Qi introduced some guys beside him.
Hao Ren remembered that Zhao Guang had mentioned that some royal princes of other dragon clans would come to study in East Ocean City before leaving, and he was surprised that these dragon clans had acted so quickly. The royal princes of these dragon clans had come to East Ocean University together on the second day!
“They are here to take a look first. Their registrations are still in process,” Lu Qi continued.
While he was dealing with some business in the office of the Calligraphy Club, a large group of dragon cultivators suddenly came in. They were all young royal princes of different dragon clans, and they were coming to meet Hao Ren. That was why Lu Qin had led them to find Hao Ren here.
In the dragon circle, Hao Ren was very famous, especially among the younger generation. The dragon kings and elders who had come to see the calligraphy exhibition had praised Hao Ren after they returned to their respective dragon clans.
Hao Ren’s achievements had spread among different dragon clans instantly.
Since Hao Ren had stood out in the Dragon God Shrine’s general exams and became a level 4 inspector, the royal princes were all curious about him, which was why they came to East Ocean City to see him with some doubts and admiration in their hearts.
Escorted by their elders, the young dragon cultivators had flown to East Ocean City during the night in a few hours.
Now that they saw Hao Ren’s ordinary look, they began to wonder if he were as powerful as the rumors said.
“Good. Now that you’re here, you are my friends. I’ll invite you all to lunch,” Hao Ren said generously.
Then, Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters walked out of the classroom and stood on both sides of Hao Ren.
These sharp-eyed royal princes immediately saw that two girls were at Kun-level while the other was at the Foundation Establishment Realm!
An ordinary dragon clan only had a few Kun-level cultivators, but two Kun-level cultivators followed Hao Ren. As to the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, they knew that she was quite extraordinary since she could live on land which was controlled by dragon cultivators.
When Hao Ren led them to Hongji Square, the royal princes swarmed after him.
The dragon cultivators held a connection conference every few years, but this important large-scale meeting discussed important issues and was attended only by the rulers of the dragon clans. The royal princes were left at home to guard the dragon palaces.
These royal princes would inherit the dragon clans in the future, which was why the dragon kings were very strict with their upbringings, not allowing them to go out and have fun.
However, their fathers had allowed them to go out and study in East Ocean City unprecedentedly, which brought them great excitement.
After walking out of the school’s west gate, Hao Ren led them to the second floor of a hotpot restaurant at Hongji Square.
As a considerate guy, Lu Qi arranged the seats for them.
Most of the royal princes were here at East Ocean University for the first time, and some even had never visited a city before! They were extremely curious and excited about everything!
Since the royal princes couldn’t leave the dragon palaces without permission, and their behaviors were strictly restrained by rules, they had been granted special permissions by their fathers this time to come to East Ocean City and investigate.
“Let’s introduce ourselves.” Hao Ren stood up graciously and said, “I’m Hao Ren, and this is my girlfriend Xie Yujia, and they are Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.”
Hearing Hao Ren introducing her as his girlfriend, Xie Yujia blushed and smiled at them.
The royal princes took the opportunity to look at Xie Yujia and discovered her extremely beautiful.
Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, she had an extraordinary presence.
They all knew that Hao Ren was the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and his formal wife should be the princess of East Ocean, but they didn’t think that it was a big deal for him to have another girlfriend.
To ensure that they could have offspring, the dragon kings usually had three or four wives. The fathers of these royal princes each had many queens.
Since they would inherit the dragon clans, they must choose their mates early. Despite the young looks of these royal princes, they each had their own wives!
Although Hao Ren didn’t introduce Lu Linlin and Lu Lili as his girlfriends, the royal princes guessed that they were Hao Ren’s reserved women from the intimacy between Hao Ren and the Lu sisters.
“If the Princess, Dragon King, and Dragon Queen of the East Ocean Dragon Clan don’t object, it doesn’t matter how many wives Hao Ren has…” they thought to themselves, “It’s said that Hao Ren has great power in the East Ocean Dragon Clan since he could move the troops of East Ocean and was also mighty.”
Seeing the two beautiful Kun-level female cultivators and the gentle and elegant Foundation Establishment Realm female cultivator beside Hao Ren, they all felt the happiness emitting from them!
If one could have a life like this, what more could one ask for!
The East Ocean Dragon Clan had placed so much trust in Hao Ren that they almost gave the entire clan to him!
After Hao Ren introduced himself, the royal princes all introduced themselves one by one.
They all came for Hao Ren, and it was a happy gathering.
Many dragon kings had sent their sons to East Ocean University, almost forming a short-term training camp with the hope that their sons could establish connections with other royal princes.
After two, three, or four years, they would establish precious connections that would benefit them for life.
These dragon kings had sent their sons to East Ocean City instead of other cities due to the gradual uprise of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Besides, the dragon kings were sure that their sons would trust and accept Hao Ren!
“Brother Hao is so powerful that he exchanged more than 30 rounds of attacks with that old peak Qian-level metal-elemental dragon!” Chen Su told others about Hao Ren’s achievements while he drank.
When he was invited to East Ocean University by Lu Qi, he had been doubtful of Hao Ren’s power. But after watching yesterday’s fierce battle, he was completely convinced by Hao Ren.
He wouldn’t be able to match Hao Ren’s power even after cultivating 200 more years! It wasn’t good luck but true power that placed Hao Ren in the future ruling position of the East Ocean Dragon Clan!
If Hao Ren weren’t so powerful, the East Ocean Dragon King wouldn’t give the dragon clan to him so willingly!
While Chen Su talked about what he saw yesterday, the other royal princes looked doubtful.
After all, they couldn’t even take half a strike from a peak Qian-level cultivator.
They wouldn’t believe Chen Su’s words if their fathers hadn’t told them after returning to their dragon clans.
With lights flashing in their eyes, they looked at Hao Ren and wanted to ask Hao Ren to show his strength but didn’t dare to invite him to a practice battle so rashly.
After all, they had just met and were all royal princes; it wouldn’t look good if they lost right away.
Hao Ren ate with a smile on his face and didn’t interrupt Chen Su’s talk.
With a red face, Xie Yujia saw these cultivators all looking at Hao Ren with admiration in their eyes, and she suddenly realized that her boyfriend was an influential figure!
These people were all royal princes, and they were focusing on Hao Ren!
