Chapter 535: Demon King?!!

Chapter 535: Demon King?!!

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

“Here for… me?” Hao Ren looked at Su Han with confusion in his eyes.

“I’m not really sure of the details either, but there is a demon king around East Ocean City, and you seem to be connected to this,” Su Han looked at Hao Ren and said.

“Me? Demon King?” Hao Ren was even more confused.

Hao Ren had never seen the deputy shrine masters of the Dragon God Shrine in person, but after going through the general exams at the Dragon God Shrine and the information Su Han gave him, he knew that the deputy shrine masters of the Dragon God Shrine were even above level 4 inspectors.

On their uniforms, there should be five-claw golden dragon embroideries.

“There are nine deputy shrine masters of the Dragon God Shrine, but only six would appear before people. Among them, three are at peak Qian-level. Yue Zilong is ranked third out of the six deputy shrine masters of the Dragon God Shrine who would appear in public. He is using his identity as a Cambridge graduate, and his role in the university is your counselor,” Su Han said with a serious face.

Peak Qian-level! Hao Ren was in awe.

Behind his gentle and elegant smile, this Yue Zilong had equivalent powers to Zhao Kuo when the latter was at his peak! There probably was a demon king in the city because one of the deputy shrine masters was here personally since a Qian-level master like Su Han could not fight against the demon king.

“But you shouldn’t worry. After all, you are under the Dragon God Shrine, so he won’t do anything to you,” Su Han said.

Hao Ren could tell that Su Han wasn’t happy. He understood that feeling because no one like having their bosses stand behind them, watching him or her work.

“So, there wouldn’t be any problems for now?” Hao Ren tried to confirm with her.

“As long as you don’t cause trouble, it shouldn’t be an issue. These six deputy shrine masters who appear before people spend most of their time at the Dragon God Shrine. There are only limited times when they would come out and do work personally. I haven’t worked with him, so I don’t know what his personality is like. You should keep a lower profile during his stay,” Su Han thought and warned him.

“OK. I understand. Since this has nothing to do with Yujia, I’ll take her home,” Hao Ren nodded and said.

He was worried that this cultivator came here for Xie Yujia. If there were nothing to do with her, it was ok.

However, who was the demon king luring around him?

“Who told you that you can take her away? Su Han looked up.

“Um…” Hao Ren was shocked.

“Yujia, stay. I’ll tutor you on your cultivation.” Su Han then looked at Hao Ren. “You can go back.”

Her tone was ice-cold, meaning that Hao Ren was no longer welcomed here.

“OK. Thank you, Ms. Su!” Xie Yujia was very happy when she heard Su Han’s words.

She had been cultivating on her own in the U.S. for the past two months and had come across many problems she couldn’t solve by herself. It was perfect that Su Han offered help!

She did not understand what Su Han and Hao Ren were talking about, so she assumed that it was about work at the Dragon God Shrine. That was why she decided not to ask Su Han or Hao Ren for further details about the things they discussed.

“You can just call me Su Han.” Su Han smiled at Xie Yujia.

Hao Ren saw that they were getting along well, and he felt that he was unnecessary here. He could only close the door lightly and leave Su Han’s office quietly.

Although Su Han treated Xie Yujia like a disciple, it wasn’t known in name.

In the cultivation world, the master and disciple relationships were important. The disciple would need to respect the master, and the master would save the disciple whenever he or she was in trouble.

Old Grandma was at the Soul Formation Realm, and she and Xie Yujia were master and disciple. Also, Old Grandma and Zhao Yanzi had the relationship of master and disciple since she asked Xie Yujia to teach Zhao Yanzi the foundational Qi Refinement Scroll. If Zhao Yanzi were in any real trouble in the future, Old Grandma would be able to save her as her master.

Su Han was only coaching Xie Yujia with her cultivation and did not actually teach her any techniques. It was the same as Zhao Kuo coaching Hao Ren. Their relationships were not master and disciple but rather seniors and juniors or good friends.

A dim red light leaked through the gap of Su Han’s office door; it indicated that Su Han had opened the array formation. Hao Ren stood outside the door and could no longer hear what they were saying inside. He shook his head and chuckled. Then, he walked out of the Administrative Building and heading toward his dorms.

Tomorrow was the official start of the new semester, and the guys who had already gotten their new textbooks were playing in the dorms. Hao Ren taped his class schedule to his desk and went out to the balcony to look at their neighbors, LingZhao Middle School.

The lights were still on in Zhao Yanzi’s dorm, indicating that she didn’t go out and play with her friends. It could be that the dorm manager had started to become strict and kept them in order.

Little White appeared on the balcony and was looking around. Then, it was suddenly caught by the girl named Gu Yan.

“No wonder, I can’t find Little White; it is hanging out in Zhao Yanzi’s dorm,” Hao Ren thought.

“Peak Qian-level…” he whispered to himself. He held his fist tightly and felt a bit anxious because of how things were right now.

In the Dragon God Shrine system, there were over ten level 4 inspectors, over a hundred level 3 inspectors, as well as hundreds of level 1 and level 2 inspectors. A deputy shrine master came personally to deal with the problem, and this was an indication of how dangerous the situation was.

Ding, ding, ding… Hao Ren’s phone suddenly rang. Hao Ren looked at his phone and saw it was Zhao Yanzi’s number, so he quickly picked up the call.

“Uncle, what are you doing!” Zhao Yanzi’s cute voice sounded from the other side of the phone.

Hao Ren held his phone while looking in the direction of Zhao Yanzi’s balcony. He saw that she had come out to the balcony of her dorm, and she was wearing her cute little pajamas and slippers.

The night breeze blew. As she held onto the balcony fences with one hand and her phone in the other, she swung her body back and forth playfully while she talked on the phone.

“Nothing. Not doing anything,” Hao Ren responded stiffly.

Zhao Yanzi obviously did not know that their buildings faced each other, and Hao Ren was not far away from her. That was why she looked at the sceneries of her own school, kicking and playing around with the slippers on her feet. She looked very relaxed.

It was her first time living at school, and she looked like she was enjoying it.

“What are you doing?” Hao Ren asked her.

“Me… hehe, I’m in bed!” Zhao Yanzi said.

Hao Ren thought, “You’re outside in the wind, and I can see you from my balcony!”

However, Zhao Yanzi didn’t know where Hao Ren was. With so many balconies, she didn’t see where Hao Ren was.

“I already took off my clothes. The dorm is too hot, so I can only sleep naked!” Zhao Yanzi continued to say.

If Hao Ren couldn’t see Zhao Yanzi, he would for sure blush and be triggered by her words. However, he was staring at Zhao Yanzi right now, so he knew that she had purposely said that to tease him. He felt it was rather funny now.

Zhao Yanzi’s pajamas were conservative, with the short-sleeve, buttoned-up top and long pants. It was nothing as wild as she described.

“Oh, really?” Hao Ren asked her on purpose.

“Really. Why do I need to lie to you!” Zhao Yanzi said as she swung her long leg, trying to act cute.

Hao Ren wanted to describe to her what pajamas she was wearing right now but decided not to expose her. If Zhao Yanzi knew he could see her, then it would be the end of Hao Ren.

“When does school start for you?” Hao Ren asked her.

Zhao Yanzi could tell how calm Hao Ren was on the other side of the phone, so she was a bit disappointed. “School starts the day after tomorrow, so I have another day to play!”

“You should study harder in Grade Nine!” Hao Ren said.

“You’re so annoying! Blablabla!” Zhao Yanzi didn’t like listening to Hao Ren’s preaching.

All of a sudden, she lost the mood to chat. “OK. I’m going to bed. Turning off the lights!”

Beep! Zhao Yanzi had hung up the phone without any hesitation.

Her ‘turning off the lights to sleep’ was in reality just staying on the balcony. She stretched her arms and looked at the night scene.

“Damn. I was wondering why you are outside. You’re actually secretly watching the middle school pretty girls in front of us!” Zhou Liren walked out and said to Hao Ren. They had been discussing the pretty girls in campus military training just now.

When Hao Ren went to Fifth Heaven to cultivate in the afternoon, the guys had gone to watch the first-year students in the campus military training and rate the first-year female students. Overall, there weren’t any especially pretty girl who stood out. Even the prettier ones were not on Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s level.

“Damn. I’m not as disgusting as how you’re describing me!” Hao Ren pushed Zhou Liren back inside when he saw Zhao Yanzi turning around and going back.

The guys chatted through the night, with them questioning Hao Ren. Hao Ren finally got through the night, and it was now morning. After the last summer, they were now third-year students. With the new first-year students joining the school, the campus felt more energetic.

On the way to class, Hao Ren and the guys were asked by many first-year students for directions. The buildings of East Ocean University were ordered in letters, and the exteriors all looked the same. The school was also big, so first-year students tended to get lost easily and have to run around campus on their first day of school.

“I heard that there was a really handsome guy in your program in the campus military training…”

“Oh. Probably Xu Ke in Class Two of Mechatronic Engineering. He was the leader of Class Two during the parade yesterday. He’s handsome. A few days ago during campus military training, the instructor punished him for talking, so he decided to challenge the instructor to a race and won!”

There were two girls chatting while riding their bikes. From the way they talked and how new their bicycles looked, they were probably first-year students.

These first-year students who had just started university, especially girls, would hang out with their high school classmates while getting used to life at the university since they were not familiar with their classmates in their university classes.

During the boring campus military training, the guys would observe the pretty girls in their classes or other classes. Similarly, girls would discuss the guys who caught their eyes.

“The girls in our class have all been gathering information about him. I heard he’s from City North First High School?” The two girls rode by Hao Ren.

“City North First High School?” Hao Ren turned his head and looked at the girls.

With a blink of an eye, he was now in third-year, and Grade 10 students from his high school were now in their first-year university.

“Yeah. He is the no.1 student from City North First High School and ranked sixth in East Ocean City’s university entrance exams. He’s not the cool type of handsome but the very warm type,” another girl said enthusiastically.

Hao Ren watched as they went away. He smiled helplessly and thought, “Girls nowadays no longer like handsome guys who like to act cool. They prefer guys who are smart, nice, and warm.”

When he and the guys went into the classroom, Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters were already there.

“Gongzi! Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili waved their hands, and they sat next to Hao Ren, looking very sweet and happy; this was their first time officially being in the same class as Hao Ren!

Just as the class bell was about to sound, Zhao Yanzi looked around and walked inside. She was in a blue and white t-shirt and a white skirt. She was pretending to be mature while holding a Grade 9 Math textbook in her hand.

“Hey, hey, hey. Why are you trying to sneak into…” Hao Ren thought.
