Hao Ren stared blankly at the information in his hands.
"Was … was this a forced kiss?"
He thought. He carefully stuck out his tongue and touched it with his finger.
He turned to look at Zhao Yanzi's bed and saw that she wasn't moving at all.
Zhao Yanzi had rolled up the quilt, and Hao Ren was lying outside in his green robe.
"Um … Are you asleep?" Hao Ren asked.
There was no response from under the quilt; she was still motionless.
Hao Ren bit his tongue with his teeth, and the feeling of touch seemed to be lingering in his mind.
"Middle school students nowadays are so powerful …" he thought.
Hao Ren coughed on purpose and said, "I'm going to go then."
There was still no movement from under the quilt. Hao Ren didn't know what Zhao Yanzi's expression was like.
Proud? Arrogant? Shy? Or in a daze?
Hao Ren lifted his legs and slid to the side of the bed before putting on his shoes.
"I'm leaving," Hao Ren said again.
In fact, he had already decided to leave. After tutoring Zhao Yanzi, he couldn't stay here for the night.
There was still no movement from under Zhao Yanzi's quilt.
"Don't suffocate yourself to death!" Hao Ren walked out of the door and turned around to shoot out six sword energies to extinguish all the candles in the room. Then, he slowly closed the door.
In the yard, the grass was luxuriant, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Hao Ren looked up but couldn't see the moon; all he could see was the blue ocean.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Zhao Kuo in his black robe lying on the roof of Zhao Yanzi's palace. He was drinking wine by himself.
"Third … Uncle?"
Hao Ren suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Humph!" Zhao Kuo landed from the sky with the wine jug in his hand without making any noise. He grabbed Hao Ren and jumped over the wall.
The patrolling soldiers happened to pass by in front of them. Zhao Kuo let go of Hao Ren and pushed him. "Brat, if you dare to do anything to Zi, I'll kill you!"
Hao Ren's back was covered in cold sweat. "Damn it! Zhao Yanzi's Third Uncle is still watching us. Luckily, I'm only tutoring Zhao Yanzi, otherwise … "
"Let's go! Come drink with me! " Zhao Kuo grabbed Hao Ren and leaped onto the roof of another palace before jumping toward the Profound Cultivation Palace.
"Who is it!" The bodyguards patrolling at night noticed something strange and immediately shouted.
"It's me!" Zhao Kuo replied.
The soldiers looked up and saw Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo. They immediately saluted, "Greetings, Commanding General!"
Caught by Zhao Kuo, Hao Ren could only wave his hand awkwardly. Zhao Kuo leaped into the air and undid the formation outside the Profound Cultivation Palace. She stepped on the eaves and flew straight up.
The seven-story Profound Cultivation Palace was the tallest building in the Dragon Palace. Because there were all kinds of precious cultivation methods stored here, ordinary cultivators couldn't get close to it, so it was also the quietest place.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Zhao Kuo grabbed Hao Ren's shoulder with one hand, and they climbed to the top floor of the Profound Cultivation Palace.
The Profound Cultivation Palace had a seven-story pagoda design. Inside, there were seven kinds of cultivation methods arranged according to the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Therefore, the top floor was also the smallest. It had a round roof and was only five to six square meters in area.
Zhao Kuo sat on the glazed roof and took out a bottle of wine from his ring before tossing it to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren caught it and sat down.
Sitting on the top floor of the Profound Cultivation Palace, he looked up and saw the entire East Ocean Dragon Palace.
Big and small palaces looked magnificent under the illumination of the rows of lanterns.
Zhao Kuo leaned against the top of the pagoda with the wine in his hand and said slowly, "These are all yours from now on!"
The seventh floor of the pagoda beneath their buttocks contained a purple-grade cultivation technique that all Dragon Clan cultivators yearned for even in their dreams.
Of course, even if Zhao Kuo trespassed, he wouldn't be able to get out.
Hao Ren looked around at the endless golden and mysterious East Ocean Dragon Palace. Then, he opened the bottle of wine and took a sip.
"What else did my dad say to you?" Zhao Kuo asked.
Hao Ren licked his lips and felt that this wine was more mellow than the wine at the banquet. He continued, "He said that I'm brave but not domineering enough to be a lord."
"That's right!" Zhao Kuo raised his head and took a sip of the strong wine.
"He said that Ah Zi's father is ambitious, but not decisive enough to kill. He said that you're brave and invincible but not smart enough. He said that Zi's Second Uncle is smart but can only enjoy the riches of the mortal world because he can't cultivate. "
"Um …" Zhao Kuo fell into deep thought.
"He also said that Zi is impatient and can't handle the big picture. He is old, and the future of East Ocean is in danger. That's why he doesn't want the position of Commanding General to fall into the hands of an outsider. He would rather let an incompetent person hold the position than let an ambitious person take it away. "
"Incompetent person … Humph!" Zhao Kuo looked at Hao Ren and said, "I don't think you're incompetent."
He knew Zhao Haoran's taste. If Hao Ren were really incompetent, Zhao Haoran wouldn't have given him the token. How could an incompetent person keep the Commanding General's token?
Hao Ren didn't comment. Instead, he continued, "He wanted to pass the cultivation technique to you, but you didn't come back. He thought it would be a waste to give it to Zi's dad, so he gave it to me."
"What else?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"He said that after cultivating for 1,000 years, he couldn't break through to the Heavenly Dragon Realm because his murderous spirit was too strong. But he won't have any regrets in this life, "Hao Ren said.
Zhao Kuo nodded and fell silent.
Hao Ren didn't say anything either.
"Didn't he leave any special message for me?" Zhao Kuo asked again.
"He just asked me to give you the sword. Nothing else," Hao Ren answered.
Zhao Kuo clenched his teeth and snorted. Then, he gulped down a few mouthfuls of the liquor.
Then, he looked at the old dragon king, Zhao Haoran's palace.
The large training field in front of the palace held too many memories for Zhao Kuo. When he first learned how to walk, Zhao Haoran taught him the stance, then the fist techniques, and the Spirit Concentration Scroll …
At that time, Zhao Kuo practiced very seriously even though his arms and legs were small.
At this thought, Zhao Kuo felt like crying, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Third Uncle, are you okay?" Hao Ren noticed the change in Zhao Kuo's expression and asked.
"I'm fine! I choked on the wine! "Zhao Kuo picked up the wine pot and clinked it with Hao Ren's.
Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo each took a sip of wine.
"Kid …" Zhao Kuo put down the wine pot and looked at Hao Ren.
"Huh?" Hao Ren looked at him.
"Who is Xie Yujia to you?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"My … classmate," Hao Ren said after half a second of hesitation.
"It can't be that simple, right?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.
"What do you think, Third Uncle?" Hao Ren asked.
"Zi can't be taken advantage of. I don't care what agreement Zhao Hongyu has with that little girl. Anyway, I won't agree to it," Zhao Kuo said.
When Hao Ren didn't respond, he glanced at Hao Ren and said, "Break up with Xie Yujia, or I'll push you down."
He put his arm on Hao Ren's shoulder.
Hao Ren looked at him quietly. "I … won't agree."
Zhao Kuo's arm suddenly exerted force.
Hao Ren's body tilted and was about to roll down the slope of the tower. He grabbed Zhao Kuo's arm and used a simple grappling technique to catch Zhao Kuo's wrist.
"Good!" Zhao Kuo threw away the wine pot with his other arm and punched at Hao Ren's face with a fist that was as big as a golden bowl.
Hao Ren stood up by stepping on the roof and turned around, dodging Zhao Kuo's fist. Then, he kicked at Zhao Kuo.
"Powerful! You dare to hit me! "Zhao Kuo followed up with a kick.
A few glazed tiles were lifted up, and the array formation protecting the Profound Cultivation Palace shook a bit.
The Profound Cultivation Palace was the most important place in the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Qiu Niu, who lived in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, had personally set it up. Even a Qian-level or Kun-level cultivator would be killed if they triggered the array formation.
The roof was only five to six square meters, but it was fifty to sixty meters high. Both Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo suppressed their nature essence and fought bare-handed with only their physical strength and martial arts skills.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Hao Ren continued to block, but Zhao Kuo's fist still landed on Hao Ren's cheek.
At this moment, Hao Ren's fist also landed on Zhao Kuo's chest, but it didn't affect Zhao Kuo's strong body at all.
Bam!
Hao Ren's right cheek took another punch. He might be able to fight evenly with Zhao Kuo if he used the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, but he was no match for Zhao Kuo in terms of martial arts and physical strength.
Bam!
Zhao Kuo's elbow hit Hao Ren's chest. Hao Ren slipped, and his back crushed the glazed tiles.
Even so, Hao Ren didn't use his nature essence. Using nature essence near the seventh floor of the Profound Cultivation Palace that was protected by extremely complicated array formations was like detonating an atomic bomb.
"Get up and continue drinking!" Zhao Kuo kicked Hao Ren's knee and picked up the wine pot by her foot.
Hao Ren rubbed his wound and picked up the wine pot by his side, clinking it with Zhao Kuo's.
"If Zi is hurt in the future, I won't let you off so easily!" Zhao Kuo glared at Hao Ren and said.
Hao Ren sighed helplessly. He couldn't defeat this Third Uncle of his, and he couldn't escape from him either. Besides, Zhao Kuo's seniority was too high, and he had reached Dui-level in such a short time. It would be hard for Hao Ren to surpass him in the future.
"You better pray that I don't reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm," Zhao Kuo continued.
"Why?" Hao Ren asked immediately.
"I know that Xie Yujia has a Soul Formation Realm cultivator behind her back. However, as long as I reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm, I will see who can bully our Zi!"
Zhao Kuo raised his head and said viciously.
"I also want to see who can bully our Yujia!" A voice came from the dragon palace.
