Xie Yujia looked at the jacket in the trash can and felt that it was a pity.
It was a gift from Duan Yao's mother, and it was made by her. Duan Yao was heartless to throw it away.
However, Xie Yujia couldn't understand the fear and helplessness in Duan Yao's heart when she was sent to Ethereal Summit.
If Hao Ren wanted to use her as a cauldron, she wouldn't be able to resist. Sky Mountain Sect would just send her to Ethereal Summit to keep the peace.
Seeing the jacket hanging on the edge of the trash can, Xie Yujia reached out to pick it up.
"Forget it, Yujia."
Hao Ren stopped her hand.
The jacket indeed represented Duan Yao's mother's love for her, but Duan Yao was a stubborn girl. This jacket couldn't heal the wound in her heart.
Since she had made up her mind with Sky Mountain Sect, she wouldn't have anything to do with them anymore. Lady Zhen's personality was very similar to her, which was why she was liked by Lady Zhen.
Two classes passed by in the blink of an eye, and Duan Yao followed Hao Ren like a little attendant. No matter where he went, she followed him closely.
Hao Ren had no choice but to buy her a cup of milk tea and other drinks. Then, he remembered that she was bored in class and wanted to buy a magazine for her. However, he remembered that she couldn't read, so he bought a comic magazine with lots of pictures for her.
Sure enough, in the next two classes, Duan Yao sat by Hao Ren's side and flipped through the comic magazine obediently. Although she still couldn't understand some of it, it didn't stop her from looking at the pictures one by one.
"I'm looking at the numbers." Seeing that Duan Yao was reading in the wrong order, Hao Ren pulled the magazine over and tore off a piece of white paper. He wrote down a series of numbers and asked her to look at the pictures in the order of the numbers.
Duan Yao nodded silently and looked at the pictures in the order of the numbers. Finally, she began to understand.
She had taken a comic book from Hao Ren's house and flipped it around in the Demon Sea, reading it randomly. After Hao Ren's guidance, she finally knew how to read it.
Pictures were the easiest to understand. Duan Yao was reading a comic about a heroine, and she was familiar with the theme. She smiled when she saw something interesting.
Seeing that she was immersed in the comic like a little kid, Hao Ren smiled.
In fact, Duan Yao wasn't a bad person, but the survival of the fittest in the cultivation world suppressed her.
At noon, Zhao Yanzi came to have lunch with Hao Ren.
Sure enough, Zhao Yanzi came to have lunch with Hao Ren.
Sometimes, she thought of Hao Ren in the Demon Sea, but she couldn't tell what she was feeling. for him.
In the Demon Sea, she sometimes thought of Hao Ren, but she couldn't tell what kind of emotion she had. Lady Zhen seemed to have read her mind and took her to the land so that she could stay with Hao Ren for a few days.
If the turning point in Duan Yao's life was the day when she moved from Sky Mountain Sect to Ethereal Summit, then the turning point in her relationship with Hao Ren was when she found out that Hao Ren didn't treat her as a cauldron and let her out of Ethereal Summit while she was in extreme panic.
She hated Hao Ren because he had changed her life. However, she was surprised to find that Hao Ren wasn't like those old cultivators in the cultivation world who would take young female cultivators as cultivation cauldrons.
She had never been moved by the attentions of the senior and junior brothers in Sky Mountain Sect. She was arrogant and indifferent.
The cultivators in the cultivation world were similar. They all used female cultivators with high realms and good talents to increase their realms. There was little love involved. However, the weaker cultivators would dual cultivate, and the stronger cultivators would have many concubines.
That was why Duan Yao had made up her mind to follow a powerful cultivator. She didn't make any arrangements for her life since she had a feeling that Lingwu Master would decide her fate sooner or later.
However, she didn't expect that Lingwu Master would give her to Herb King Master of Ethereal Summit, and she didn't know that Herb King Master wasn't who she thought he was.
Mortals were like ants … Now, she realized that she preferred the life of an ant.
"Bad guy! Treat me! "Zhao Yanzi hit Hao Ren with her fist, but she didn't want to hit him too hard.
In fact, she wanted to ask Hao Ren to pick her up at the school gate. However, she didn't wear her school uniform today, and she was the most eye-catching person in the morning exercise. She was even criticized by the Dean of Students in front of the whole school, so she instantly became the focus of the whole school.
If Hao Ren came to the school gate to find her, it would cause a bigger commotion. That was why Zhao Yanzi came to find Hao Ren.
She was in a good mood today, and her face was red. Ling thought that she had broken up with Zhao Yanzi, but she suspected that Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren had gotten back together. In class, Ling teased Zhao Yanzi, but Zhao Yanzi blushed. Ling couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Ok, let's go to the cafeteria," Hao Ren grabbed her little hand and said with a smile.
There was a small sword-shaped green mark on Zhao Yanzi's white jade-like wrist, and it looked like a fashionable tattoo. When Ling saw the mark today, she was envious and admired Zhao Yanzi. She thought that Zhao Yanzi was getting more and more powerful since she dared to get a tattoo in Grade Nine.
In fact, Zhao Yanzi had mastered the trick of hiding her natal dharma treasure after reaching top-tier Core Formation Realm. She hid the Purple Green Treasure Sword on her wrist instead of spreading it in front of her body. Otherwise, it would look ugly.
"Fine, I'll go to the cafeteria. Annoying!" Zhao Yanzi pulled back her wrist and hit Hao Ren's shoulder.
Xie Yujia laughed when she saw them playing with each other.
"Let's go, Yujia. It's my treat today," Hao Ren looked back at Xie Yujia and said.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili opened their arms and cheered.
Zhao Yanzi looked even prettier in her black cotton stockings and light coffee-colored sweater than when she was in her blue school uniform. Of course, all the guys and girls in the cafeteria were looking at her.
"That guy's name is following Hao Ren around today."
"I heard that he just transferred to East Ocean University. He must be a freshman …"
"There are a lot of transfer students here …"
"He's crazy. So many pretty girls are following him …"
As soon as Xie Yujia and the others sat down, all kinds of discussions arose in the cafeteria. Duan Yao, the new beauty, was naturally one of the topics. She looked dull and a little cold, which was the opposite of Zhao Yanzi's style.
Hao Ren went to line up at the window, but Duan Yao didn't sit with Xie Yujia and the others. Instead, she followed Hao Ren closely, which made Zhao Yanzi angry. "What is this Duan Yao doing?"
Hualalala …
Seeing Hao Ren walking over, all the students made way for him.
Hao Ren froze for a few seconds, and the window to get food and meals suddenly appeared in front of him. The cafeteria auntie knocked on her spoon and waited for Hao Ren to order.
"Ugh …" Hao Ren walked over and ordered some set meals. Duan Yao stood by Hao Ren's side silently and helped him carry the plates to the table.
Her expression was calm. As long as she followed Hao Ren, she wouldn't care about anything else.
Zhao Yanzi thought that she would go back after lunch while Duan Yao would stay with Hao Ren, and she felt a bit unbalanced.
Right now, she thought that it wasn't a bad thing for Xie Yujia to stay with Hao Ren. However, Duan Yao had a higher realm, was younger than her, and had a more powerful background …
"Third Uncle, my mom invited you to our home for dinner tonight," Zhao Yanzi took the plate and said to Hao Ren.
At this moment, she had to declare her sovereignty.
"Ok." Hao Ren nodded. Zhao Kuo had reached peak Qian-level, and Hao Ren wanted to see how prepared Zhao Kuo was since he was going to fight Su Han.
On one side was his Third Uncle, and on the other side was Zhao Kuo. Hao Ren didn't know who would win. Since Su Han came out of the Demon Sea, she must have reached peak Qian-level as well.
Yue Zilong had returned to the Dragon God Shrine, and Zhao Kuo and Su Han were the only peak Qian-level dragon cultivators in East Ocean City.
"Senior …"
A clear voice sounded beside Hao Ren.
Hao Ren turned his head and saw Xu Ke in his sportswear walking over with a smile on his face with a plate in his hand. Then, he sat down not far from Xie Yujia.
Xu Ke suddenly sat down when the other students hadn't sat down yet, which made him stand out.
Hao Ren didn't expect Xu Ke to still be in East Ocean University. His master, Taiyi Cave Master, had been chased away by Zhao Kuo, but he was still here.
"Gongzi, Xu Ke has been trying to get close to Big Zhumu these days. He is almost actively pursuing her," Lu Lili moved closer to Hao Ren and whispered.
Seeing Xu Ke, Xie Yujia moved closer to Hao Ren with her plate, trying to keep a distance from him.
In the past few days, Hao Ren had suddenly disappeared from East Ocean University, and Xu Ke had expressed his love for her in various ways. Now, all the students knew that a first-year student was pursuing her.
Xie Yujia wasn't a domineering person, and she didn't want to cause more trouble during Hao Ren's absence. She didn't want Hao Ren to misunderstand her. That was why she had been keeping a low profile.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were in the Dragon Palace, but Xie Yujia had always treated herself as Hao Ren's girlfriend. She protected Hao Ren secretly and tried her best not to create any rumors or scandals that would make Hao Ren uncomfortable.
She knew that if she had any contact with Xu Ke or even refused him in person, it would cause the rumors in the school to explode.
The closer Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi got, the weaker her relationship with Hao Ren would be. Xie Yujia was worried that many couples at school would break up due to jealousy and rumors that fanned the flames.
Seeing Xie Yujia's awkward expression, Hao Ren knew that she was a soft-hearted person, and he felt bad about it.
However, now that everyone in the school knew that he was Hao Zhonghua's son, they even made way for him to get food in the cafeteria. If Hao Ren kicked Xu Ke, who looked simple and innocent, away, it would be like bullying.
"Yujia …" Hao Ren reached out and pulled Xie Yujia to his side.
Regret appeared in Xu Ke's eyes. Everyone in the school knew that Xie Yujia was Hao Ren's girlfriend.
However, he didn't believe that Hao Ren could kick him out.
"Go away," Duan Yao, who was sitting beside Hao Ren, said softly.
A faint green essence came out of her body, and Xu Ke felt like he was floating as if his soul was about to be sucked out.
"Humph …" Xu Ke picked up his plate and walked away. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
