Zhao Yanzi was probably really tired. She fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
The lights went out, leaving only a small table lamp beside the bed. Hao Ren hid in the darkness beside the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, thinking about what happened during the day.
West Ocean must have a reason to be so tough, especially that Oldman Zeng. If Zhao Yanzi's Third Uncle weren't here, he would have taken Zhao Yanzi by force.
After all, they were still in the territory of the East Sea.
Besides the issue of East Ocean and West Ocean, there were other things that gave Hao Ren a headache.
It was very quiet in the house. Hao Ren used his internal energy and could vaguely see some light spots in the corners of the house. These were the array formations that Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu had set up when Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren spent the night at Lu Qing's place.
Hao Ren sighed when he saw Zhao Yanzi in a deep sleep. "Sometimes, it's easier to be a mortal."
The next day, Hao Ren didn't sleep at all. He cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and guarded Zhao Yanzi. Yesterday, East Ocean's attitude angered West Ocean, and Hao Ren felt uneasy. Although he was not a master at Kan-level, he was still stronger than Zhao Yanzi who had lost all her cultivation strength.
"Ah …" Zhao Yanzi yawned and stretched on the bed.
Seeing Hao Ren staring at her, she snorted lightly and kicked the quilt at him, covering his head with it.
Hao Ren pulled the blanket off. He felt innocent. He had stayed up all night for her. Even if he didn't get any credit, it was still hard work.
Zhao Yanzi, on the other hand, didn't realize that Hao Ren had stayed up all night. She skipped into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She had never been worried about the threat of the West Ocean. The East Ocean was not afraid of the West Ocean. Would they really dare to do anything?
They went downstairs and saw that Zhao Hongyu had already prepared breakfast. Everything was as warm and natural as before.
"Mom, I'm going to visit Hao Ren's grandma with Hao Ren today," Zhao Yanzi said while biting into her bread.
"How will you get there?" Zhao Hongyu asked.
"Drive there!" Zhao Yanzi pointed at Hao Ren. "Doesn't he know how to drive?"
Hao Ren nodded. "Auntie and Uncle, why don't you come with us?"
"We won't be going. After the birthday party, there are still a lot of things to clean up," Zhao Guang said.
"Then … should we go together?" Zhao Yanzi asked Zhao Guang carefully.
"Mm, you two go ahead." Zhao Guang nodded in disapproval.
Zhao Yanzi was elated, but Hao Ren was a bit surprised. Zhao Guang really trusted Zhao Yanzi to go out with him alone.
"Be careful when you go out," Zhao Hongyu said and immediately went upstairs to get Zhao Yanzi's change of clothes.
Just like that, Hao Ren drove Zhao Guang's black Chevrolet to the small village in Zhejiang where his grandma lived.
When Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren left the house, Zhao Guang turned to the study room and said, "Premier Xia, please continue."
"Yes, Dragon King." Premier Xia, who was wearing a green robe, walked out of the study room and said, "According to the latest news, six elders of West Ocean have successfully advanced to Kun-level after using the Mystic Ice!"
"Six …" Zhao Guang lowered his head slightly as if he was tasting the weight of these two words.
"With six more Kun-level Cultivators, West Ocean's strength is even more powerful than ours. No wonder they dared to question us at Zi's birthday party," Zhao Hongyu who was standing beside Zhao Guang said.
Zhao Guang nodded with a dark expression and said, "Continue."
"Ok!" Premier Xia's face was also very serious. "There is another piece of news that we are not sure about. There is a Soul Formation Realm cultivator in East Ocean City where we live! "
"Soul Formation Realm?" Zhao Guang, who had always been calm, looked a bit surprised.
"Since it involves a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, we didn't dare to ask too much. However, according to what Su Han said at the birthday party and our comprehensive judgment, it seems that Qin Shaoyang was suddenly transferred to Northwest Sky Mountain because he offended this Soul Formation Realm cultivator."
Hearing Premier Xia's words, Zhao Guang frowned and rubbed his chin. "Now that you mention it, it seems to be the case. Qin Shaoyang belongs to the Metal-Elemental Dragon Clan, and he has a special position in the Inspector System. Since he was suddenly sent to the bitter cold Northwest Sky Mountain, he must have offended someone he shouldn't have. "
"Also …" Premier Xia dragged out his voice and hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, "When Fuma Hao broke through to Kan-level, a Soul Formation Realm cultivator passed by and gave him some pointers."
"Oh?" This time, Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang were a bit surprised.
"The overall situation is more complicated than Dragon King's estimation. West Ocean has gathered a large number of people, but they haven't made a move yet. It seems like they are also afraid of this Soul Formation Realm cultivator in East Ocean City," Premier Xia continued.
Zhao Hongyu shook her head. "Soul Formation Realm cultivators never interfere with the affairs of the Dragon Tribe. Even if East Ocean and West Ocean fight, they won't interfere as long as no mortals are hurt. However, it is true that West Ocean is wary of Qin Shaoyang's sudden transfer and doesn't dare to make a move. "
"Dragon Queen is right. Right now, the three parties are in a stalemate. Now, it depends on whether Third Lord can break through to the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Oldman Zeng is not easy to deal with, and he must be waiting for an opportunity," Premier Xia said.
"You are right. Oldman Zeng's temper yesterday was just to make us lower our guard. In fact, he is very cunning. However, what happened yesterday has accumulated a lot of resentment on both sides. In the next two days, there will definitely be small skirmishes, and the elders might even get into a big fight. It is a good thing for Zi to leave East Ocean City for a couple of days. " Zhao Guang stared at Premier Xia and said, "Don't worry about us. You can follow Ren and Zi and protect them secretly."
"Yes!" The hunchbacked Premier Xia cupped his hands and disappeared in a flash of green light.
On the highway, Hao Ren was driving Zhao Guang's black Chevrolet to the toll booth.
It was her first time traveling with Hao Ren alone, so Zhao Yanzi was a bit nervous. However, she was happy to find a chance to skip her homework and go out to play.
"What? Do I look like a bad guy?" Sensing her nervousness, Hao Ren asked as he drove.
"What do you think?" Zhao Yanzi asked back.
"I didn't do anything bad except peeking at you while you were sleeping, right?" Hao Ren asked her.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and wanted to refute but didn't know what to say. From Hao Ren's tone, it sounded like he was going to do something bad this time.
"I told you that the conditions there are tough. Don't go there and ask to come back," Hao Ren confirmed as they entered the toll booth.
"Got it! Stop nagging! "Zhao Yanzi glared at him. She didn't think she was that weak!
The car drove steadily onto the highway. After a while, Hao Ren couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of the Crown Prince of West Ocean?"
"I told you not to mention him!" Zhao Yanzi was a bit displeased, but she still answered, "Zeng Yitao!"
Hao Ren secretly memorized the name, feeling like this kid would not be a good guy in the future.
"Um … Did you have an engagement with West Ocean before?" Hao Ren thought for a moment and asked.
"Yuck! I didn't want to have an engagement with them! They came to me on their own. My dad didn't agree to it! "Zhao Yanzi said.
Hao Ren guessed that West Ocean must have mentioned Zhao Yanzi several times, but Zhao Guang always brushed them off by saying that Zhao Yanzi was 18 years old. This time, East Ocean suddenly found a Fuma for Zhao Yanzi without telling West Ocean, which made the West Ocean Dragon Clan furious.
"Zhao Guang resisted the pressure and made me, a mortal, Zhao Yanzi's Fuma, Fuma," Hao Ren thought.
The journey on the highway was very boring. Leaning on the seat, Zhao Yanzi fell asleep unconsciously. She had been busy all day yesterday and didn't have a good night's rest. Of course, she would be sleepy during the day.
Hao Ren tried to slow down the car so that it wouldn't disturb her sweet dreams. Sometimes, he felt sorry for Zhao Yanzi. As the pearl of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, she didn't have much freedom even though she was surrounded by people.
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu probably wanted her to grow up in the city to make her happier.
After a three-hour drive, Hao Ren arrived at the small mountain village that he had been to a few days ago. The bumpy road woke Zhao Yanzi up from her dreams. She rubbed her eyes and opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the simple houses outside the car. "Ah? This is the place? "
Zhao Yanzi grew up in a prosperous city and occasionally went to the Dragon Palace to see a different kind of luxury. Even when she traveled to GreenStone Mountain, she stayed in a hotel at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Yanzi had never lived in a 'mountain residence' like this.
Hao Ren didn't care about her. Since they had arrived at their destination, Zhao Yanzi couldn't protest even if she wanted to.
When the car entered the courtyard, Grandma who was sunbathing in the yard saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi walking out of the black car. She immediately walked over in surprise and asked, "You … Why are you here?"
"Grandma!" Zhao Yanzi ran to Grandma and greeted her sweetly.
"Oh, I didn't know you had such a beautiful granddaughter. You didn't even tell me!" Grandma's good friend, the old grandma, also walked over with a smile with a fan in her hand.
"Grandma …" Zhao Yanzi called out to her as well.
"My granddaughter is so beautiful …" The old grandma walked around Zhao Yanzi and praised.
"This isn't my granddaughter. This is my …" Grandma tried to explain.
Zhao Yanzi blushed and called her grandma again. Finally, Grandma understood and corrected herself, "Hehe, our little Zi is shy!"
