In his sportswear, Xu Ke ran out of the library.

Seeing this, Hao Ren got away from Zhao Yanzi for a moment to check up on the situation.

The cars that dropped off the representatives of the various dragon palaces already left, making the big square in front of the library looking a little empty.

The stairs in front of the library were filled with students in lines, and more students were coming.

Song Qingya’s sudden appearance at Hao Ren’s club event today surprised people, and a lot of students wanted to come and check out her calligraphy.

“Hao Ren! Hao Ren!” Seeing Hao Ren reappearing at the gate, his buddies such as Zhou Liren who were at the end of the line started to wave their hands and shout.

After coming here, they checked out the calligraphic works and left, planning to go back and play cards. However, when they heard that Song Qingya came, they turned around in the rain. However, the number of people inside the exhibition was now limited.

Since the Principal asked the members of the Calligraphy Club to go inside and hide from the rain, the members of the Student Council were call in to keep order.

Therefore, Zhou Liren and the other guys weren’t able to go in after saying Hao Ren’s name. Also, since Hao Ren didn’t pick up his phone when they called, they had to line up at the very back.

Standing at the gate of the library, Hao Ren saw them and had to wave back helplessly.

He knew these guys too well; they were not interested in calligraphy but girls. Therefore, he knew that they were here for Song Qingya.

Zhou Liren saw Hao Ren noticing them, so he jumped out of the line and ran up the stairs. The other students turned and looked at him, but he was too focused and ran in the rain.

The members of the Student Council saw that Zhou Liren and others were indeed Hao Ren’s friends, so they let them in.

Right now, everyone at East Ocean University knew who Hao Ren was. If everyone said that they were Hao Ren’s dormmates, it would be very hard to keep order.

Zhou Liren didn’t try to talk to these members of the Student Council; he just couldn’t wait and see Song Qingya.

The students who were still lining up couldn’t do anything but watch. Since these guys were Hao Ren’s dormmates, and Hao Ren was the person who created this event, they couldn’t say anything.

As the other students stared at him, Hao Ren was looking for Xu Ke.

The library of East Ocean University looked like an opened book with its cover tilting forward. Therefore, the giant glass panel in front of the library blocked rain from a big area of the small square.

Gradually, more dragon kings arrived, and they chatted with Zhao Guang intimately. There were about 20 to 30 of them.

Hao Ren glanced around and saw an old man standing beside Xu Ke.

This old man looked like he was about 60 to 70 years old, and his dense and short white hair looked hard. However, his eyebrows were black, and he looked high-spirited.

Different from other dragon kings and elders who were either in expensive suits or elegant traditional robes, Xu Ke’s ‘grandpa’ was only wearing a simple grey jacket, looking like an ordinary old man.

Even though Hao Ren didn’t sense any aura or nature essence from him, he was sure that this old man was powerful. This old man’s strength should be at least on par with Yue Zilong, and that was why Hao Ren couldn’t detect anything even with the inspector’s token.

Xu Ke held this old man’s hand and walked into the library, passing Hao Ren.

Just as Hao Ren was about to follow them in, he suddenly saw his dad’s car parking in the big square.

Yue Yang helped Grandma exit the car and opened an umbrella for her. Then, Hao Zhonghua shut off the ignition, walked around the car, and held onto Grandma’s other arm.

There were many stairs from the big square at the bottom to the small square at the top. Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were worried that Grandma would slip because she was very old, and it was raining outside.

Seeing Grandma showing up, Hao Ren ran to the small square and held her carefully.

Yue Yang stepped back and held the umbrella for Grandma.

“Grandma, you don’t have to come since it’s raining today,” Hao Ren said as he held Grandma’s hand.

“How can I do that! It’s Ren’s club event; Grandma has to come!” Walking up the stairs, Grandma replied immediately.

The students who were standing in the line all looked at Hao Ren in shock.

“Who is this granny… Even Hao Ren went to help her in the rain…”

“The club members invited their seniors to visit this time. Don’t tell me this is Hao Ren’s Grandma…”

“Oh my god, those two people seem to be the great scientists Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang…”

All sorts of thoughts were on the students’ minds.

Pah, pah, pah, pah…

In high heels and under a red umbrella, Su Han walked along the steps from far away.

She was dressed in a light grey coat, and underneath was a white professional blouse and a pair of slim black jeans. She impressed everyone as she walked closer in the rain.

“Little Su! Little Su!”

Seeing Su Han, Grandma suddenly waved her hands with excitement. She even stopped in the rain just to wait for Su Han.

Su Han waved back with a smile and quickened her pace. Her unique temperament blossomed in the rain.

“Exactly like the rumors, Hao Ren and Su Han are relatives.” All the students were in shock.

The only thing they weren’t sure about was whether Hao Ren was Hao Zhonghua’s son or not. It would be such breaking news if that were true…

Seeing Hao Ren and Su Han walking into the library and the long lineup ahead, the students wished that they could go inside immediately.

Su Han’s beauty wasn’t inferior to Song Qingya’s.

One was the most beautiful woman in East Ocean City while the other was the most beautiful in the music industry.

The students tip-toed but were still not able to see what was going on in the library.

“Let me in! Let me in!” A girl who was close to the gate started to shout.

Dressed in a brown knitted sweater and with an off-white scarf on her shoulders, she stomped on the ground with her boots. This girl was Jiang Yuan who had just held her own exhibition.

She heard about Hao Ren’s calligraphy exhibition. Thus, she wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, she was late and got stopped outside, so she had to wait in the line.

She was planning to be patient and wait, but no students were coming out at all. With the piercingly cold wind and wet clothes, she couldn’t take it anymore as she saw Hao Ren coming out and going back in.

The members of the Student Council at the entrance recognized her as the genius artist Jiang Yuan. However, these members didn’t have anything to do with her. Therefore, they didn’t respond to her at all after she made a scene.

Jiang Yuan’s face turned pale out of anger. She wanted to leave, but she was hesitant as she was so close to the gate. Therefore, disregarding her dignity, she started to wave her umbrella and scream.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s outrageous reaction, the students in the line wondered secretly, “Is it because Hao Ren dumped her…”

Since both the Principal and the Vice Principal Lu were in the library, the members of the Student Council were worried that Jiang Yuan would disturb the officials inside. They decided to open the door and let 50 students in.

Jiang Yuan put away her umbrella and walked in angrily. She had never been treated like this ever since she was born. She usually wouldn’t even bother to come to this library

She was the first person to rush into the library. However, Hao Ren’s work was deep and domineering, which overtook Jiang Yuan’s anger like a spell.

Jiang Yuan clenched her teeth. She walked around from the right side of this delicately framed scroll and suddenly saw more than 1,000 pieces of calligraphic works hanging in the hall,

She wasn’t surprised by the enormous quantity; what surprised her was that all these calligraphic works were of the highest grade!

Standing beside Hao Zhonghua, Yue Yang and Grandma, Hao Ren was introducing them to the vice presidents of the club.

Through a few calligraphic works, Jiang Yuan saw Hao Ren who was in an upright posture and suddenly realized that Hao Ren was a thousand times better than her.

She received guidance and support from Wang Shitong, the leading authority in the art circle. However, she was still unable to compete against Hao Ren. Especially after that art exhibition, she lost her contact with her master.

She felt deeply frustrated, but she gained her confidence back shortly as she thought, “My dad runs a great business, my mom works at the Bureau of Finance, and my grandpa is a high-ranking officer in the province. Therefore, I am so much better than Hao Ren based on my background!”

Hao Ren didn’t pay attention to Jiang Yuan as he was showing his parents and Grandma around the exhibition. After he introduced the vice presidents of the club, he brought them to see the calligraphic works.

Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia, the Lu sisters, and Su Han all accompanied Grandma.

The look on Grandma’s face turned to surprise. She thought Hao Ren’s event was just a small-scale exhibition held by a group that shared a common interest. It would be good enough if they got tens of works as she thought that there would only be 20 or 30 members in the club.

She had never expected that her grandson had become so competent that he could lead hundreds of students like a commander, and his event could be incredibly great!

“Huh, who said that Ren couldn’t have such great achievements!” Seeing all the club members coming to greet her and call her ‘Grandma’, she felt very proud! She just regretted that she didn’t have more than five hundred red envelopes for the kids.

Zhao Guang had entered the library and walked beside Hao Zhonghua to have a conversation with him.

Yue Yang looked up at the bold and unrestrained, elegant and flowy calligraphic works. She never thought that her son would be able to handle a club with over five hundred people and make it so spectacular.

“Sister Qingya, can I shake hands with you?” At a short distance, Zhou Liren asked Song Qingya.

Song Qingya’s assistants stood in the front to keep Zhou Liren away from her. They couldn’t stop Song Qingya from going to a club event hosted by a kid at East Ocean University, so the only thing that they could do was to keep her safe.

“Hao Ren!” Song Qingya called Hao Ren when he walked over.

Hao Ren then walked over with his grandma. Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua were surprised to see the appearance of Song Qingya, so they followed Hao Ren.

“Is this…” Song Qingya looked at Hao Ren’s grandma.

“She is my grandma,” Hao Ren said.

“Oh, hello, Grandma.” Song Qingya stuck out her hand.

“Little Girl, I know you. I have seen you sing on TV.” Grandma held Song Qingya’s slim hand and spoke happily.

“My name is Song Qingya, do you also listen to my music, Grandma?” Song Qingya smiled.

Hao Ren stared at Grandma nervously, worried that she would say improper things.

“Yes, I have listened to your music and seen you dance. You are so great!” Grandma answered with excitement, “What a pity that my Ren has a girlfriend now, otherwise you could be my granddaughter-in-law.”

Grandma’s words almost made Hao Ren sweat.

However, Grandma was just joking. Song Qingya smiled, but all her assistants turned speechless.

“Brother Hao, Brother Hao,” Zhou Liren squeezed himself in and went up to Hao Ren, trying to show how close his relationship with Hao Ren was.

“This is my roommate, Zhou Liren,” Hao Ren said.

“Hello.” Song Qingya reached out and shook his hand.

Zhou Liren reached out excitedly. As soon as he touched her, his face turned red. He didn’t dare to say anything else and went back to the crowd.

Zhao Jiayi and the other guys weren’t as brazen as Zhou Liren. They got so jealous when they saw Zhou Liren had the chance to shake hands with their goddess, Song Qingya, through Hao Ren. Thus, they started to beat him crazily. Zhou Liren smelled his right hand, and his eyes turned red out of excitement. Finally, he got the chance to shake Song Qingya’s hand! He could recall the moment of holding her hand hundreds or thousands of times!

As they were messing around with each other, they heard Hao Ren introducing, “This is my dad, Hao Zhonghua, and this is my mom, Yue Yang.”

“Hao Zhonghua! Yue Yang!”

Bang! Bombs went off in Zhao Jiayi and the other guys’ heads.

Jiang Yuan opened her eyes widely after hearing that.

When she saw Hao Ren welcoming Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang into the library, she thought that they were just guests invited by the university. She never thought that Hao Ren would ever have anything to do with Hao Zhonghua! The even more shocking news was that Hao Ren was Hao Zhonghua’s son.

There wasn’t any rumor like that, so the people weren’t prepared!

After thinking about how she talked to Hao Ren, Jiang Yuan suddenly stepped back out of surprise.

The influence that Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had was definitely greater than a governor or a minister.

Not only Jiang Yuan, but Zhao Jiayi and the others stretched their necks and looked over in surprise. They had been classmates with Hao Ren for three years, but they just found out that Hao Ren, whom they thought came from an ordinary family, was actually the son of Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, two scientists who had always been on international magazines!

“Hao Ren is such a b*stard; how could he hide it so well!” they thought.

“I have long desired to meet you.” Song Qingya reached out to shake hands with Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang.

Standing beside Grandma, Hao Ren was still staring at Xu Ke and his ‘grandpa’ in the hall out of the corner of his eyes.

That metal-elemental dragon elder who was hiding his aura stood far away the entire time, staring at Hao Ren.

“If the enemy doesn’t move, neither will I.” Hao Ren then looked around but didn’t see Yue Zilong.

At that moment, there were Su Han, Zhao Guang, and tens of dragon kings standing around Hao Ren, so he was pretty sure that Xu Ke’s ‘grandpa’ was also judging the situation and wouldn’t start anything yet.

Anyone from the metal-elemental dragon clan wouldn’t know about their real family background before they reached a high realm. Therefore, Hao Ren knew that instead of being Xu Ke’s grandpa, this old man was Xu Ke’s master, Taiyi Cave Master.

It was obvious that Taiyi Cave Master, who occupied one of the five big caves, had cast his eyes on the Mystic Water Sword techniques, which also indicated how precious Hao Ren’s Mystic Water Sword techniques were.

Another reason was probably was that he was trying to get back the golden shield.

The golden shield laying inside Hao Ren’s necklace started to buzz as it also felt the appearance of someone incredible.

“Hao Ren’s parents are Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang!”

“Hao Ren is the son of great scientists!”

“Hao Ren’s parents showed up at this event. They are Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang who gave the lectures at the university last time!”

In the blink of an eye, the news had been spread wildly across the university. Even the students who were in the line outside the library got the news from their phones.

The dragon kings in the library had already heard that the East Ocean Dragon King got a human as his son-in-law, and it was officially proved today.

Hao Ren’s had his own reason for disclosing the identity of his parents.

Right now, Huang Xujie knew his identity, and the members of Calligraphy Club had also known about the background of his family.

Therefore, the news of his parents being Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang would be exposed shortly.

Also, it was a way of protecting his parents in front of many dragon cultivators, especially his club members and their seniors.

Now, everyone knew that his parents were Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang. Therefore, the dragon palaces in various regions would keep an eye on them wherever they went.

After the news spread, the dragon cultivators who didn’t use to care about mortals would start to notice this couple. As a result, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to lay their hands on them.

“This kid has got some brain,” Yue Zilong praised in darkness.

Crack…

On the other side, the old man cracked his knuckles.

“It won’t be easy to get his family. So, get rid of him instead,” he said to Xu Ke in a low voice.
