Xiaolong had been so busy these days … The more rushed he was, the more he didn't dare to write carelessly. He was afraid that he would mess it up … Perhaps in the eyes of some readers, this was an idiotic story, but Xiaolong tried his best to think and write.

"Grandma?" Hao Ren was surprised. "You came back alone? Let me pick you up! "
"No, you can focus on your classes. I came back with a friend from my hometown. He came to East Ocean City for some business, and he can drive me back," Grandma said on the other end of the phone.
"What time will you be back?" Hao Ren was excited.
He had a deep relationship with Grandma, and he missed her a bit since he hadn't seen her for a while.
"I'll be at the train station at five in the afternoon. My friend will drive me home, and then he went to work. You don't have to pick me up, so it's fine, "Grandma said cheerfully on the phone. It seemed like she was having a good time in Zhejiang.
"Ok! I'll come back to keep you company today! "Hao Ren hung up the phone cheerfully.
Seeing Hao Ren hang up the phone, Zhao Yanzi leaned over and asked, "Grandma is coming back?"
"Yeah …" Hao Ren nodded.
His cell phone suddenly rang again.
Hao Ren picked it up, and it was still Grandma's voice. "I forgot to ask Zi to come over tonight. I brought her some local specialties."
"Ok." Hao Ren was about to hang up when Grandma suddenly said, "Ask Little Yujia to come over too! I brought her some too! "
"Ugh … Grandma, are you trying to ignite a powder keg …" Hao Ren thought.
But before Hao Ren could reply, Grandma had already hung up the phone happily.
Seeing Hao Ren pick up the phone again, Zhao Yanzi blinked her big eyes and leaned over again. "What did Grandma say? Did you bring me a gift? "
"I brought some local specialties," Hao Ren answered.
"Ah? Really? "Zhao Yanzi's eyes lit up." Is it sweet potatoes? "
Hao Ren looked at her helplessly. "All you know is sweet potatoes …"
"Gongzi Hao, Ms. Zi, get in the car." Lu Qing who was walking in the front opened the car door.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and gently pulled on Hao Ren's shirt. "Uncle, ask Grandma to bring some sweet potatoes over …"
"If you can get the first place in the final exam, I'll bring you a truck of them!" Hao Ren got into the car and turned to look at her.
"Humph!" Zhao Yanzi bit her lip and pouted so hard that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
Lu Qing drove steadily in the front, ignoring the little quarrel between the two of them.
It was still a little chilly at the beach in the early morning.
The sky above East Ocean City had calmed down, and the Nine Dragon Palace that had been hanging in the sky for a week was gone.
When the car arrived at the gate of LingZhao Middle School, Zhao Yanzi got out of the car and turned around to harrumph three times.
She didn't bring her bag today, so he didn't know how she was going to go to class.
Lu Qing started the car and drove toward East Ocean University steadily.
"Elder Lu, did you find out about the attack on the Dragon Palace last night?" Hao Ren asked with a serious expression.
"We haven't found out yet, but we suspect that it's a tentative attack from West Ocean." Lu Qing's face also became serious. "This time, West Ocean sent a powerful figure."
"What kind of powerful character?" Hao Ren asked hurriedly.
"His nickname is Black Wolf, and he is a mid-tier Qian-level master. Although he hasn't reached top-tier Qian-level, a mid-tier Qian-level cultivator might not be his match, "Lu Qing said.
"Black Wolf …" Hao Ren murmured the name.
"This Black Wolf appeared in East Ocean City in the name of protecting Zeng Yitao, but he is actually a master of assassination and intelligence gathering. The reason why West Ocean sent him here is obvious, "Lu Qing continued.
"Will Zi be okay?" Hao Ren asked worriedly.
"They don't dare to fight against Ms. Zi for the time being. Also, there are many masters in Zi's middle school," Lu Qing answered.
Although he said that, Hao Ren was still worried. However, on second thought, it wasn't a good thing to hide Zi in the Dragon Palace just because of West Ocean's small actions.
He touched the necklace on his chest and felt that the Coil Dragon Golden Spear was still lying quietly in his necklace. This was Zeng Yitao's natal dharma treasure, and it was still under his control.
However, even a fool would know that Zeng Yitao would find a chance to take back the dharma treasure. Especially after the incident at the Nine Dragon Palace, how could Zeng Yitao allow his natal dharma treasure to be controlled by someone else?
"You must be careful. No matter what, you are now a core member of the Dragon Palace, and your cultivation strength is the weakest," Lu Qing said.
"I know." Hao Ren circulated his Qi slightly, and the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll began to circulate in his body. The Dragon Core in his body also began to move quietly.
39 openings had been unlocked, and he only needed one more to reach Zhen-level.
"However, Su Han made you an assisting inspector because she wanted to protect you," Lu Qing said abruptly.
He continued to drive, "Attacking an inspector, even if he is just an assisting inspector, is a serious crime. West Ocean wouldn't dare to take such a risk until the last moment. Zi is a princess, and we, East Ocean, will fight them to the death if she gets hurt. That's why they don't dare to act rashly. "
"Ok …" Hao Ren nodded. Right now, he was thinking about his meeting with Grandma tonight.
The car entered East Ocean University. If the students saw Executive Vice Principal Lu Qing driving Hao Ren to school, they would be so surprised that their eyeballs would pop out!
"Thank you … Principal Lu." Hao Ren got out of the car and hesitated. He decided to call Lu Qing the Principal on campus.
"Ok. Go to class. I've told the school about it, but don't let your grades get too bad, "Lu Qing said.
"Ok. I got it!" Hao Ren strode toward the Academic Building.
He didn't want to skip classes, but the incidents in East Ocean kept happening one after another. However, after the incident at the Nine Dragon Palace, things would calm down for a while.
When he entered the classroom, his classmates were already in the classroom.
Xie Yujia was sitting in the front row, organizing her notes. She saw Hao Ren and smiled at him.
"Hao Ren! You skipped classes again! "Huang Jianfeng saw Hao Ren and yelled from behind.
Hao Ren walked over and asked, "Is everything okay?"
Zhou Liren popped up from his seat and said, "I have two pieces of news, big news and small news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Don't play this game with me!" Hao Ren ruffled Zhou Liren's hair and said, "Both at once!"
Zhou Liren looked tall and strong, but he was at the bottom of the food chain in Hao Ren's dorm. He could only comb his hair with his fingers and say, "The big news is that Xie Wanjun went to the U.S.!"
"Ah?" Even though Hao Ren already knew about this rumor, he was still surprised.
"I'm not done yet!" Zhou Liren said excitedly, "Before Xie Wanjun left, he appointed Zhao Jiayi as the Captain of the Basketball Team! Zhao Jiayi has only been there for less than a month, and he is already the Captain of the Basketball Team! "
"Zhao Jiayi is going to lead the Basketball Team for the rest of the National League?" Hao Ren was surprised.
"Yeah. He is training with the Basketball Team in the stadium! That's awesome! The Captain of the Basketball Team! He played basketball with us a few weeks ago! "Zhou Liren said excitedly as if he was the Captain of the Basketball Team himself.
"What's the other little news?" Hao Ren asked him.
"The little news is …" Zhou Liren looked to the front and said, "Xie Yujia resigned from her position as the Class President!"
"Oh …" Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia's back and was a bit surprised. He asked again, "Who is the new Class President?"
Zhou Liren pointed to the side of Hao Ren and said, "Right next to you!"
Hao Ren turned his head and asked, "Yu Rong?"
Yu Rong smirked and said, "Hehehe, you didn't expect me to be the Class President, did you?"
"Damn! This class is hopeless! "Hao Ren sighed.
"Everyone, be orderly! The class is about to start. Sit down! Sit down! "Yu Rong stood on the chair and pointed to the front as he yelled.
He didn't look like the Class President at all; he looked more like a bandit who had taken over the mountain!
Xie Yujia buried her head and didn't care about anything else. She just focused on reading her notes. She felt a lot less stressed after she resigned from her position as the Class President.
After a noisy day, Yu Rong was "promoted" to the class president. Holding a chicken feather as a token of authority, he even straightened his back more than before.
In contrast, Xie Yujia was even more low-key. She paid attention in class, went to the cafeteria with Ma Lina, and borrowed books from the library … She was as calm as a little white flower on campus.
Her brother went to the U.S. yesterday, and it was obvious that she would be sad. Her brother, who used to protect her and take care of her, left East Ocean University and East Ocean City.
During the last two classes in the afternoon, Hao Ren sent a text message to Xie Yujia, "Grandma is back from Zhejiang, and she wants you to come to our home tonight."
Xie Yujia immediately turned her head back after receiving the text message, and she looked pleasantly surprised.
She turned her head back and typed on the keyboard on her phone.
Soon, Hao Ren received a text message, "Ok, let's go together after class."
"Yo, yo, yo. You are so different when you are in love. You even sent text messages so fast!" Zhou Liren leaned over.
"Go away!" Hao Ren blocked him with his hand.
"You two, don't talk in class!" Yu Rong who was sitting behind them reminded them.
Hao Ren looked back at him helplessly and thought, "Come on, you used to be the most talkative person in class, okay?"
"You, stop playing with your phone!" Yu Rong reminded another student.
Hao Ren inhaled deeply and suddenly missed the days when Xie Yujia was the Class President …
After two classes, Yu Rong rushed to the podium and said, "I have something to announce …"
"Oh …" The students dispersed immediately.
"What are we eating tonight?"
"Zhajiang noodles."
"I think there is a movie in Academic Building J tonight."
They walked out of the classroom while talking about their own topics.
Yu Rong stood on the podium in a daze. "Damn! Am I that unpopular?! "
Hao Ren laughed in his mind. He patted Xie Yujia's shoulder and walked out of the classroom with her.
"I haven't seen Grandma in a long time," Xie Yujia said happily.
Hao Ren didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Xie Yujia seemed more amiable when she was not the Class President.
"Yeah, she wants you to go this time. Let's go! "Hao Ren led Xie Yujia down the stairs.
In the classroom, Yu Rong yelled, "Come back! I have something to announce! "
However, everyone had already left.
The campus was beautiful at dusk. Xie Yujia walked beside Hao Ren and didn't speak.
"Did your brother go to the U.S. yesterday?" Hao Ren asked her.
"Yeah, he could have gone, but he was worried about this year's competition. However, after the last competition, he said that he was relieved this time, "Xie Yujia said.
Hao Ren looked at her and thought, "Xie Wanjun probably didn't just say he was worried about the competition."
Since it wasn't the weekend, there weren't many students at the bus stop in front of the school.
"Um … Hao Ren," sitting beside Hao Ren, Xie Yujia said softly after a few seconds of hesitation.
"Yeah?" Hao Ren turned to look at her.
"I resigned from my position as the Class President because I felt tired, and … I have more things to do," Xie Yujia said.
"More things?" Hao Ren looked at her hesitantly.
"Yeah," Xie Yujia nodded. "Some things that are beyond my imagination."
"Did the old grandma … say something to you?" Hao Ren asked cautiously.
"Um …" Xie Yujia opened her palm to Hao Ren.
In her white palm, there was a golden note spinning slowly at the center of the Laogong Acupoint!
"Are you hiding a lot of things from me?" Xie Yujia took back her palm and looked at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren looked at her in surprise. "When did you get this?"
"The day you left the old grandma's home, she gave me a set of pithy chants. I practiced it for a whole day … "Xie Yujia's voice became more and more melodious as if she didn't believe it herself.
Hao Ren could understand her feelings. When he first came into contact with Zhao Yanzi's circle, he always felt strange and wondered if he had gone crazy.
However, Xie Yujia's cultivation talent must be even better than Su Han's if she could make such a golden note in one day!
"I asked you once if you believed in cultivation because the old grandma wrote it on a piece of paper," Xie Yujia said.
"Did you think that the old grandma was abnormal?" Hao Ren asked her.
Xie Yujia nodded. "I thought she was old and muddle-headed. But when I got home, I felt like something was wrong, so I called you. "
She looked up at Hao Ren. "You mean … you are also cultivating?"
"Mine … might be a little different from yours." Hao Ren shook his head immediately. "I don't know!"
Xie Yujia was also confused. These things were beyond her knowledge.
"What's the name of this?" Hao Ren thought for a moment and asked her.
"Five-Elemental Life-Death Note." Xie Yujia bit her lip and shot out her palm toward the sky outside the window. The whole movement seemed to take a lot of effort.
It was still quiet outside. The sunset was beautiful.
Hao Ren heaved a sigh of relief and was about to look away when a huge noise came from the sky!
The bus, which was traveling on the road, also swayed three times due to the vibration!
Xie Yujia looked shy. "I didn't know it was so powerful …"
She gritted her teeth and looked at Hao Ren. "Can this bus go directly to your home?"
"We still have to …" Hao Ren stuttered. "Pick up … Zhao Yanzi."
