“Ok, I’ll go check it out.” Following the girl, Hao Ren went to the gate of the library.

The library of East Ocean University was built splendidly. In front of the main gate, there was a small square. Down the terraced stairs, there was a huge square.

Meanwhile, in the huge square, there parked many luxury cars. All the elders and mid-aged men were walking toward the library while their servants held umbrellas for them.

Hao Ren circulated his nature essence. Through his inspector’s token, Hao Ren found out that these elders and mid-aged men were all powerful dragon cultivators from the wood-elemental, earth-elemental, fire-elemental, and water-elemental dragon clans. Except for the metal-elemental dragon clan, the other four elemental dragon clans were all here,

These dragon cultivators were all invited by the juniors. Therefore, they flew here from other cities after a quick preparation, and they decided to drive to East Ocean University instead since it was raining in the East Ocean region and they didn’t want to disturb the mortals.

Zhao Guang had already received the news that many representatives of various dragon palaces would gather in East Ocean City. Thus, he went to the main gate of the library, planning to welcome the guests.

Plenty of the dragon cultivator who studied at East Ocean University were sons or nephews of the prominent elders and the dragon kings. Therefore, the representatives were all of the prestigious statuses.

Accompanying Zhao Guang, Lu Qing smiled with satisfaction as he watched the long line of cars driving inside the campus and the group of dragon cultivators who were coming up along the curved stairs.

It had been so many years since the East Ocean Dragon Clan last had its leadership position. However, the visit of so many dragon clans at the same time had brought up his memory again this time.

Standing in front of the main gate, Zhao Guang noticed that many dragon kings were coming from all directions, so he decided to stand still and wait for them to come up.

Seeing Zhao Guang walking out of the library with the company of Lu Qing, Principal Liu thought that Zhao Guang was planning to go back and was about to walk out with him. However, Principal Liu suddenly saw a huge crowd of people coming up from all directions and became stupefied.

Obviously, the students were the most surprised.

As the students of the best university in a prosperous city, they had seen luxurious cars driving around the campus frequently. However, it was the first time for them to see luxurious cars gathering in such an enormous and intensive way!

The dragon clans all had some businesses in the mortal world; even the dragon clans in remote areas had investments in the cities!

Now, they either showed up as presidents of big companies or the seniors of the presidents! The hundreds of club members of the Calligraphy Club who just had lunch rushed out of the library to welcome their seniors after hearing the news.

The event held by a university club had suddenly turned into a grand gathering!

Standing beside Zhao Guang, Hao Ren saw a huge crowd of students walking down the stairs in the rain to welcome their seniors.

Afterward, they walked their seniors to the entrance of the library and introduced them to Hao Ren.

Shortly, Zhao Guang and the guests got to know each other.

The Dragon Tribe was divided into five big clans, and water-elemental dragon clan had the most members. Every five years, the water-elemental dragons would be gathered for a meeting to discuss the major issue, establish new rules, and allocate resources. Every ten years, the prominent leaders in each of the big elemental dragon clans would gather for a grand conference to talk about the main issues the Dragon Tribe was facing. As expected, the metal-elemental dragon clan was absent every time.

However, the East Ocean Dragon Clan barely had contacts with the small dragon palaces from other elemental dragon clans. There wasn’t any improvement to the situation since the other dragon palaces never tried to reach out.

Only the dragon palaces within the same elemental clan would interact with each other. The rest of them would just be close to the dragon palaces nearby.

The focus of the grand conference was on the major issues within the Dragon Tribe, and every dragon clan would fight for its own benefits, which harmed the communication between them on this occasion.

However, Hao Ren’s club event had offered the dragon palaces from various regions an opportunity to meet unofficially!

The East Ocean Dragon Clan had risen sharply and seemed to have become the leader of the Four Oceans in the past year. Although the rest of the Dragon Tribe wanted to get to know the East Ocean Dragon Clan, they couldn’t find a good way.

On the other hand, the East Ocean Dragon Clan didn’t have any reason to invite those unacquainted dragon kings for a visit.

With Hao Ren’s help, Zhao Guang’s problem had been solved!

On the ground floor of the library, there was a tearoom, which was a perfect place for the representatives from the various dragon palaces to have a friendly conversation.

There were over five hundred club members in Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Club. Hao Ren counted quietly as he was welcoming them, and he realized that five dragon kings had shown up in person already!

This indicated that they were urgent to corporate with the East Ocean Dragon Clan.

More cars were coming, so the Lu sisters and Xie Yujia went up to Hao Ren to help with reception.

All the guests came from different parts of the world. It would be such an advantage if they could connect and build a network.

“Uncle!”

Dressed in her uniform and holding an umbrella, Zhao Yanzi showed up at the entrance of the library with the crowd.

She bumped Hao Ren with the umbrella, but she suddenly saw Zhao Guang beside him. Therefore, she stuck out her tongue at Hao Ren and hid behind him.

She remembered that Hao Ren was holding a club event. Therefore, she decided to come here during her lunch break. However, she didn’t expect it to be such a grand event.

Dressed in black Western-style uniforms, two elementary school students also came up along the stairs while holding their umbrellas.

Wu Luoxue’s cheeks looked pink in the rain, and her leather shoes had gotten wet, which made them look shinier.

Under the teaching of her mom, Wu Luoxue became incredibly good at piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. After she heard about the calligraphy exhibition that was held by Hao Ren’s club, she wanted to attend it even though it was raining.

There was no need to mention Zhen Congming. As Wu Luoxue’s follower, he would go wherever she wanted to go.

“Get in now!” The gusty wind kept blowing. Thus, Zhao Yanzi grabbed Hao Ren’s wrist and dragged him into the library.

She wanted to see the exhibition with Hao Ren, and she felt bad as she saw Hao Ren receiving guests in the cold wind.

Zhen Congming tried to keep the rain away from Wu Luoxue. Then, he put the umbrella away for her and walked her into the library carefully. Wu Luoxue didn’t seem to buy it; there was no emotion on her adorable face. Instead, she looked at Hao Ren for a few seconds then switched to the calligraphic works.

The calligraphy master invited by the Principal had lost themselves in various calligraphic works. As modern calligraphy masters, even though they couldn’t compete against the calligraphy masters of ancient times, their understanding of calligraphy was way better than others.

It was easier for them to spot greatness because of their passion for calligraphy. They got so obsessed with the amount of calligraphic work they saw at the exhibition that they wished to collect all the works at the exhibition.

The most important part for ancient calligraphy master was the aura and presence. However, the dragon cultivator didn’t lack them, which made their calligraphic works incomparable.

As more and more people came into the library, the club members followed Hao Ren’s instructions on limiting the number of students in the exhibitions.

The Principal was at the entrance, and he didn’t have anything against what the club was doing. Based on the performance of the Calligraphy Club, he wouldn’t have an objection if it wanted to use the library for a day. If anyone ever dared to say anything bad about the Calligraphy Club, he would be the first person to step out and take care of them.

A lineup had been formed on the stairs outside the library quickly.

Holding their umbrellas, all the students wanted to see the splendid scene in the library. Ever since East Ocean University was founded, no event had created such a spectacular scene.

In the hall, dragon kings were huddling with each other while the elders were getting together. None of them could wait to communicate.

Having their descendants studying in the same university and the same club made them feel closer to each other, and it also gave them a topic to start their conversation.

Biting on her finger, Wu Luoxue raised her head to observe the calligraphic works one after another. The hair laying on her neck looked even prettier after being wet by the rain, and her soft arms were as white and clear as jade.

Hao Ren immediately understood why Zhen Congming fell for her when he saw her. Wu Luoxue was indeed intellectual and adorable, which proved that Zhen Congming had good taste.

“Hey.” Zhen Congming nudged Hao Ren hard with his elbow and said, “Don’t look at my girlfriend.”

Hao Ren glanced at him and thought helplessly, “She hasn’t agreed to be your girlfriend yet, and you are already so overprotective.”

“I did some research on the cloth you showed me yesterday. It is called the Ruyi Cloth. Cultivators in ancient times didn’t have any techniques to make dharma treasures into their natal dharma treasures, so they had to bring their dharma treasures with them. What matched their treasures was this kind of Ruyi Cloth,” Zhen Congming continued after Hao Ren turned back.

“Ok….. then what?” Hao Ren asked.

“The crappy shield you have is probably an ancient dharma treasure, so that explains why it likes to be cleaned by the Ruyi Cloth.” Zhen Congming rolled his eyes at Hao Ren and said, “Here, I also learned that the Ruyi Cloth can be used as a flight dharma treasure. Therefore, I had gone through several old books from ancient time and found the control technique for you.”

Zhen Congming threw a piece of dark yellow paper to Hao Ren, and on it was a short scripture with about 50 characters.

Hao Ren put away the paper and looked at Zhen Congming who had pride written all over his face. He knew that this little kid was really helpful even though he talked a lot of nonsense. Xie Yujia needed a flight dharma treasure, so this cloth would be perfect for her to have.

Wu Luoxue was staring at a big scroll. Then, she walked a few steps away to look at another scroll of calligraphic work in small seal style. Zhen Congming rushed to follow her, and he went close to her purposely to whisper to her.

Hao Ren looked down at his watch, wondering why his parents and grandma weren’t here yet.

“Good job.” Suddenly, Hao Ren heard someone talking beside him.

Hao Ren turned around immediately and found that Yue Zilong had already been standing beside him.

Yue Zilong was wearing a pair of silver frame glasses, looking very gentle. It was hard to sense his nature essence and tell that he was a dragon. Who could ever imagine that he was ranked fourth at the Dragon God Shrine?

“It’s really an overstatement, Mr. Yue. It is all because of the resources offered by you.” Hao Ren put a smile and replied.

Yue Zilong slightly smiled; it seemed like he had already seen through Hao Ren’s immature cunningness.

He didn’t understand why the Shrine Master promoted Hao Ren to level 4. In his mind, level 3 was good enough for Hao Ren based on his realm. However, what the Shrine Master said to the nine deputy shrine masters made them think. It was impossible for anyone to understand a cultivator who could let a supreme spiritual treasure follow them willingly.

Yue Zilong relied on martial arts and only used dharma treasures for capturing people. He didn’t need any dharma treasures aside from them. However, out of the eight other deputy shrine masters, five of them had supreme spiritual treasures.

The Shrine Master’s words made them realize what was special about Hao Ren, and the deputy shrine masters started to pay some extra attention to Hao Ren.

None of the dragon kings and elders who were talking in low voices knew that a deputy shrine master of the Dragon God Shrine was among them!

The Dragon God Shrine monitored all the dragon cultivators between heaven and earth. If they knew that a deputy shrine master of the Dragon God Shrine was here, they would probably stop talking.

“Well, realm-breaking notes…” Hao Ren drawled on purposely as he looked at Yue Zilong

“What, you ran out of it again?” Yue Zilong stared at Hao Ren as he pushed up his glasses

“The trip to the Demon Sea wasn’t for fun.” Hao Ren raised his hand and stuck out five fingers as he answered.

Yue Zilong clenched his teeth. Then, he pulled out five realm-breaking notes from his ring and put them in Hao Ren’s hand heavily.

Although he was the deputy shrine master of the Dragon God Shrine, it was still a pain for him to give away five realm-breaking notes. He drew every realm-breaking note himself, and he had put so much effort into each one.

However, since their boss, the Shrine Master, valued Hao Ren, giving him five realm-breaking notes could probably be good for him.

Hao Ren chuckled while he put the notes into his necklace. He wouldn’t ask Yue Zilong if it were just a common object; the realm-breaking notes were indeed useful as they could protect him in the future.

“Song Qingya! Song Qingya!”

Suddenly, the students in the hall started to scream.

Hao Ren turned to the entrance and noticed that Song Qingya was walking inside, dressed in a dark blue tunic.

There were several assistants following her to maintain the order around her.

“My trip in East Ocean city is quite long. I heard about your club event from Zi, so I decided to come and check it out since I don’t have to go back yet. Hope I didn’t disturb you,” Song Qingya said elegantly after walking up to Hao Ren with a smile

Her glance landed on Yue Zilong, and she gave a simple smile and didn’t pay too much attention to him. She didn’t know that the person beside Hao Ren was one of the nine deputy shrine masters of the Dragon God Shrine.

“It’s such an honor to have Sister Qingya here., Hao Ren said.

“There are quite a lot people here.” Song Qingya looked around and informed an assistant beside her, “I have also created a piece. Not sure if it could be hung here.”

That assistant took out a scroll from her bag and slowly rolled it out. It was a piece of beautiful work in the regular script

Song Qingya came here just to liven things up, but she didn’t expect to see so many dragon cultivators here.

Song Qingya’s sudden appearance and calligraphic work had caused a sensation amongst all the students in the library.

It was known that Song Qingya’s autographed photos had forced Xu Ke not to show up in the university for a few days. Who would know how precious her calligraphic work was?

Hao Ren waved his hands and asked a club member to hang Song Qingya’s calligraphic work at a most noticeable spot.

“It will be the Eighth of September when the wind blows in the autumn, and the chrysanthemums are going to blossom while all other flowers are dead.” Song Qingya frowned slightly after she saw the calligraphic work not far from her. “This piece of work seemed to be very murderous.”

“Xu Ke, your grandpa is here!” a first-year student yelled across the library.
