Cut ties!
These words exploded in Hao Ren's mind.
Cutting ties meant that he was no longer the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Clan and Zhao Yanzi's fiancé. He couldn't even visit Zhao Yanzi's home anymore!
The East Ocean Dragon Clan cut ties with him, and Hao Ren was the one who destroyed the West Ocean Dragon Palace and had nothing to do with the East Ocean Dragon Clan …
"Dad!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhao Yanzi finally came back to her senses and yelled.
"What do you mean by cutting ties? I don't agree! I definitely don't agree! "Her face turned red as she continued to yell.
Hao Ren looked at Zhao Yanzi in a daze, not expecting her to react like this.
He had thought that Zhao Yanzi would be very happy with this decision.
Zhao Yanzi puffed her cheeks and stood up abruptly with her hands on the table. "Dad! Those elders are nothing! They can cut ties with us just like that! When Hao Ren contributed to East Ocean, they didn't say anything. Now that Hao Ren got into trouble, they are eager to kick him out. How can we, the East Ocean Dragon Clan, be so disloyal! "
With chopsticks in her hand, she was so agitated that her chest was heaving up and down, and her eyes were wide open. "Which elder suggested this? I'm going to burn down his house tonight!"
Seeing Zhao Guang's calm expression, Zhao Yanzi looked at Zhao Hongyu again. "Mom! You said before that the most important thing in our Dragon Clan is righteousness! Hao Ren has never mistreated me. Why should we do this to him? "
Obviously, the words "cut off all ties" had triggered her fiercest and most sensitive nerves.
She slammed the table and roared for a while. Suddenly, she saw that Hao Ren, Zhao Hongyu, and Zhao Guang were still calm. She blushed and peeked at Zhao Guang's face. Then, she sat back down like a deflated balloon.
"I think Zi is right. Hao Ren has never mistreated Zi, and he has never wronged the East Ocean Dragon Clan. It would be inappropriate to leave Hao Ren out of the picture and simply deal with it," Zhao Hongyu said.
She was on Hao Ren's side, or rather, on Zhao Yanzi's side. Although the current situation was troublesome, she didn't want Hao Ren to be the victim.
Zhao Yanzi returned to her seat and turned to look at Hao Ren. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head, blushing again.
She dared to yell at Zhao Guang for Hao Ren, who she hated. In the past, Zhao Yanzi didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Zhao Guang, the head of a family and a palace.
"Let's discuss this matter at length." Zhao Guang did not express his opinion immediately. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."
Zhao Hongyu felt a little helpless. She pouted and picked up the chopsticks.
Zhao Guang controlled the fate of tens of millions of aquatic creatures in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and his decisions would affect the development of the East Ocean Dragon Palace in the next decades or even hundreds of years. Therefore, many things couldn't be decided by him alone.
Even if his attitude was to protect Hao Ren, he had to convince the elders in the Dragon Palace. Otherwise, the people would not be convinced, and it would easily cause internal strife. The East Ocean Dragon Palace didn't only have the three of them. He had to be responsible for the millions of cultivators in the East Ocean Dragon Palace and the aquatic creatures within tens of thousands of kilometers.
The dishes were a little cold, and they tasted tasteless.
The four of them didn't speak, and only the crisp sound of tableware clinking could be heard.
Finally, dinner was over. Zhao Hongyu waved at them and said, "Ren, go upstairs and tutor Zi."
"Um, ok." Hao Ren stood up and folded the bowls.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and walked to the stairs in silence.
Zhao Hongyu glanced at Zhao Guang while putting away the bowls and chopsticks. Obviously, they still had something to discuss.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi entered Zhao Yanzi's room one after the other, and neither of them spoke.
After closing the door, Zhao Yanzi walked to her desk, opened her backpack, and took out her homework.
Hao Ren also took out his tutoring materials, pulled a chair over, and sat beside her.
"I'm telling you, no matter what they say, you must ignore them," Zhao Yanzi suddenly turned around and said to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Yanzi got angry instantly. "If they cut ties with you, I'll cut ties with them too!"
"Then, where will you live?" Hao Ren asked her.
"At … your house!" Zhao Yanzi hesitated for half a second and said.
She knew that Hao Ren's grandma liked her a lot, and so did Hao Ren's parents. If she had nowhere else to go, she could go to Hao Ren's grandma's place.
She found it strange as well. If the East Ocean Dragon Clan wanted to cut ties with Hao Ren, she would be happy to do so. However, she was furious today and stood firmly on Hao Ren's side …
"Is it because … Hao Ren is my … fiancé?"
Zhao Yanzi was confused as well.
She was not in the mood to do her homework at all. Her mind was in a mess, and she suddenly realized that everything was so unreliable. She didn't understand why Zhao Guang didn't protect Hao Ren, and she didn't understand why Zhao Hongyu's attitude was so ambiguous.
She didn't understand why her parents, who usually protected her and doted on her, would stand against her.
Anyway, she would be the first one to reject Hao Ren's request!
"If Hao Ren doesn't become East Ocean's Fuma, I'll be Hao Ren's daughter-in-law!" This thought came to her mind in a fit of pique.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi's expression changing like a TV channel, Hao Ren nudged her and said, "Hey, hey, let's get into the tutoring."
"You are still in the mood for tutoring!" Zhao Yanzi raised her eyebrows.
"Cutting ties and tutoring are two different things. Your final exams are coming up soon, right?" Hao Ren said.
Zhao Yanzi became listless when she heard the words "final exams."
Yes, the final exam was something that gave her a headache. She swore that she would surpass Xie Yujia's brilliant grades in LingZhao Middle School.
"Today's focus is on Math. I gave you six questions on Geometry and six questions on Algebra. You just need to finish them." Hao Ren took out two papers from his bag and put them in front of Zhao Yanzi.
He was like a block of wood. He didn't care about Zhao Yanzi's feelings at all and only knew how to give her questions.
Zhao Yanzi glared at Hao Ren and suddenly thought that it would be a good idea to cut ties with Hao Ren.
However, she could only pout her lips to express her dissatisfaction. Zhao Yanzi leaned on the desk and took out a ballpoint pen from the pen holder. Then, she took out a blank piece of draft paper and scratched her head as she started to work on the questions.
Seeing that Zhao Yanzi was working on the questions, Hao Ren began to think about his situation.
Destroying half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace would be a big deal for sure. The West Ocean Dragon Clan wouldn't dare to do anything to Zhen Congming, but they would definitely use this as an excuse to shift the blame to the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
When he tore down the gate of the West Ocean Dragon Palace and destroyed the West Ocean Dragon Palace, he felt like he was venting all his anger and punishing the West Ocean Dragon Clan for suppressing the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Therefore, he didn't think too much about it.
In fact, if Hao Ren and Zhen Congming had run away when Oldman Zeng rushed out of the back mountain, the West Ocean Dragon Clan wouldn't be able to find any evidence against them, and the East Ocean Dragon Clan wouldn't admit to their wrongdoings, there would still be room for negotiation.
However, Zhen Congming was too arrogant and didn't run away. Instead, he blackmailed Oldman Zeng, which made the West Ocean Dragon Clan furious and ready to drag the East Ocean Dragon Clan down with them.
As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. It was a normal strategy for the West Ocean Dragon Clan to bite back at the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Hao Ren felt that he didn't think it through and put the East Ocean Dragon Clan in a bad position.
"Hey!" Zhao Yanzi nudged Hao Ren with her elbow. "Done!"
Hao Ren was deep in thought with his arm on his elbow. Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed. During this time, Zhao Yanzi had finished all 12 questions.
"Let me see …" Hao Ren took the papers and marked them one by one.
"Correct, correct, correct …" Hao Ren was about to feel happy when he suddenly realized that the questions were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong …
Out of the 12 questions, she only got four correct. According to the 100-point scale, Zhao Yanzi's score was 33.3. Multiplied by two, she barely passed.
Seeing the big crosses on the papers, Zhao Yanzi's face darkened. She pouted and said, "I was in a bad mood, so I got them wrong …"
However, she didn't have the confidence to answer like that. Out of the 12 questions in one hour, she only got four correct. Moreover, the questions weren't that difficult, so it didn't make sense.
Hao Ren didn't blame her. He spread out the papers and said, "I won't analyze the first three questions. For the fourth question, the angle ACB in the triangle ABC is 90 degrees. Connect DE and analyze the relationship between DF and EF. For this kind of proof, you must first determine the relationship between these angles … "
Hao Ren didn't laugh at her or tease her. Instead, he patiently explained the questions to her.
Zhao Yanzi was a bit surprised. She pouted and listened to Hao Ren's explanation carefully with her big eyes.
With a pencil in his hand, Hao Ren showed her the answers to each question. Even when he was tutoring Zhao Yanzi, he never thought of himself as Zhao Yanzi's' fiancé ', and he never thought about the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
Zhao Yanzi wasn't as focused as Hao Ren. She looked at the papers and occasionally looked up at Hao Ren who had a serious expression on his face.
In fact, although Hao Ren wasn't very handsome, the way he was focused on something was a unique charm to her.
Hao Ren was like this when he was cultivating … When he was studying the design drawings in Zhao Hongyu's studio with a frown …
Hao Ren was focusing on the questions when he suddenly saw Zhao Yanzi staring at him. He was surprised and looked back at her. "Huh?"
Zhao Yanzi turned her head guiltily, and her heart was beating fast.
"Then, there are these 12 questions. 1a + ax = 1b + bx. For this kind of question, you need to combine the addition on both sides. Then, you need to multiply and divide diagonally. After that, you need to organize the equation and get the x …" Hao Ren said as he scribbled.
"I know! You are so naggy. I know! I was careless! "Zhao Yanzi hit Hao Ren's shoulder hard.
"So, the result is x = (abb-aab) (b-a)." Hao Ren put down the pencil and rubbed his shoulder.
"I know!" Zhao Yanzi couldn't help but emphasize again.
"You know how to do it wrong …" Hao Ren didn't know what to do with her. He smiled and opened the small door to the balcony. "It's getting late. Let's go!"
He didn't want to pass by the living room and talk to Zhao Yanzi's parents. Therefore, he flew away on Little White!
