Chapter 260: Hand Him Over!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
When Hao Ren came to the classroom, it was already full. Zhou Liren had occupied seats in the third row, and he beckoned to Hao Ren, “Here! Here!”
He had rushed here after the morning’s Advanced Mathematics to grab good seats. However, he was doomed to be disappointed today.
Xie Yujia and Ma Lina walked into the room, chatting and laughing. Xie Yujia was wearing a white T-shirt with a cartoonish pattern and a pair of pale blue jeans. The clothes were ordinary, but she looked refreshing and bright in them.
After all, simple clothes needed an excellent figure to show its effect. Without the fancy designs to conceal the shortcomings of the body, Xie Yujia presented her real and natural form.
Xie Yujia believed in dressing simple, and her figure looked great in simple clothes.
Xie Yujia smiled lightly when she passed Hao Ren before pulling Ma Lina to the back row.
Zhou Liren looked back at Xie Yujia and bumped Hao Ren with his elbow. “Hey, I observed carefully in the past couple of days and found that Xie Yujia is even more beautiful than before!”
Hao Ren didn’t think it was surprising. “After all, she has begun cultivating recently, and it enhanced her complexion. Besides, with her excellent talent, her aura and strength will improve faster than other cultivators,” he thought.
He didn’t know that Xie Yujia’s talent in terms of cultivation couldn’t get poorer. The old Grandma wouldn’t have taken her as her last disciple if talent was the only thing she cared about.
Xie Yujia had a ‘Stone Body Type.’ She was very insensitive to the Nature Essence, and it was challenging for her to absorb it. The old Grandma planted a Nascent Soul Realm Life Note in her body, so she possessed the cultivation speed of a Nascent Soul Realm master. Despite the Life Note, Xie Yujia was still in the Qi-Refinement Realm.
With this insane Life Note, she could concentrate Nature Essence at a high-intensity, but she could only absorb one percent of it.
Even Zhao Jiayi or Zhou Liren had better cultivation talent than Xue Yujia.
However, the old Grandma saw through all that and didn’t care about what realm Xie Yujia could reach. After all, no one would dare to mess with her with the old Grandma as her master.
Xie Yujia and Ma Lina walked to the last row of the room and sat in the middle seats.
Zhou Liren turned to look at Xie Yujia again and lamented, “Women do get more beautiful as they mature. How come I didn’t find Xie Yujia beautiful before?”
Hao Ren also looked back at her. Sitting in the last row, which was the highest point of the room, Xie Yujia’s skin was as bright and translucent as a newly peeled egg, good enough for a skincare commercial. After all, great skin would significantly boost a girl’s natural beauty.
Tap! Tap… The sound of high-heels resonated in the corridor outside of the classroom.
Next to Hao Ren, Zhou Liren immediately sat upright. A bit further away in the row, Cao Ronghua and Zhao Jiayi also looked expectant. All the other guys turned their gazes toward the door as well.
A teacher in business attire walked into the classroom.
It was a young female teacher.
“What?!” The guys were astonished.
The teacher walked to the platform. “Ms. Su Han is not available, and I’ll teach the course as her substitute for the next few weeks.”
“No…” The guys were greatly disappointed.
Obviously, the young substitute teacher had dressed carefully, but she could never hold a candle to Su Han.
“In the next few weeks, we’ll work together. My name is…” The young teacher began to write her name on the blackboard, but the guys had no interest to know it.
They came to the class to see Su Han, the No.1 Beauty in East Ocean. Even though they couldn’t talk to her directly, it was still enjoyable to watch her.
They lost all interest in the course with the appearance of the substitute teacher.
As Su Han’s biggest fan, Zhou Liren felt like he had never been this disappointed in his life. He slumped onto the desk and looked dispirited.
“When will Ms. Su come back?” a guy blurted out the question to the substitute teacher.
It was not giving substitute teacher face.
“Maybe two or three weeks; it depends on the school’s scheduling. Possibly, I’ll teach the course from now on!” The substitute teacher looked around and said disapprovingly.
“Well, if that’s true, I’ll skip this class in the future,” Zhou Liren lamented.
Many guys shared his thoughts, which meant that the most popular course would quickly become the most unpopular one.
Meanwhile, Hao Ren thought about the substitute teacher’s words and thought it was quite possible that Su Han would take the opportunity to give up her position in the school.
It was an eventful time since East Ocean and West Ocean were fighting with each other secretly, and her leisure life would come to an end. It was quite likely that she would focus her attention on her job as an inspector.
However, Hao Ren wanted her to stay in the school.
Buzz… His cell phone vibrated.
He picked it up and saw a text message from Xie Yujia who was sitting in the back of the classroom.
It read, “What happened to Su Han? Is she dealing with family issues? Do you know anything about it?”
“She is sick,” Hao Ren replied to the message.
He didn’t think that Xie Yujia knew about Su Han’s identity, so he didn’t say too much.
“Sick? She is taking several weeks off? Is her illness very serious? Could you contact her and tell her that we’ll go visit her tonight?” Xie Yujia’s reply came instantly.
Xie Yujia was the best student in the class, and Su Han had a good impression of her. Besides, Su Han was exceptionally kind to her due to the mark left by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator on her shoulder that was only visible to inspectors.
That was why Xie Yujia was grateful toward Su Han, the cold teacher in other students’ eyes.
“I will tell you more about it when the class is over,” after a moment of consideration, Hao Ren replied.
While the guys lamented their misfortune in the classroom, Oldman Zeng went to the headquarter of Mingri Group with 16 senior elders.
Oldman Zeng was dressed in dark-red Chinese traditional suit while the six Qian-level elders were wearing silver suits and the ten Kun-level elders were wearing black suits; one could see their ranks at one glance.
They walked into the grand hall in a pyramid-like formation with Oldman Zeng in the front.
“Sir, who are you visiting? Please register your name here!” The young and pretty receptionist saw their aggressiveness and immediately called out to Oldman Zeng.
Oldman Zeng looked like a fit old man in his 60’s while the 16 elders behind him all looked like they were 40 to 50 years old.
If they had been a group of younger men, the receptionist would have been scared. But to her, they were just a group of old men pretending to be the mafia!
When she called out, the guards standing by the pathways walked over and tried to stop them. “Sir, who are you visiting? This is a private building not open to the public.”
“Humph!” With a wave of his hand, Oldman Zeng sent the guard, who was speaking, rolling on the floor.
The remaining guards immediately surrounded them.
With several pushes, Oldman Zeng sent all the guards flying backward.
“The old man is a martial arts master,” the captain of the security team took out his walkie-talkie and called out urgently, “Send back-up to the grand hall!”
With a livid expression, Oldman Zeng walked directly into the pathway with the 16 elders.
When the captain picked up the electric baton and tried to stop them, the receptionist called out with the phone in her hand, “Brother Liu! The boss said just let them up!”
Without stopping, Oldman Zeng kicked the blockade in front of the pathway, and it shattered under his foot.
He could have gone directly to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to see Zhao Guang, the lord of East Ocean. Instead, he came to the headquarter of Mingri Group with 16 elders and forced their way up, showing everyone that he was here to make trouble.
They took the elevator to the top floor.
In the hall, the employees of Mingri Group and the pedestrians on the street all stared at the elevator in astonishment.
Ting! The elevator arrived on the top floor.
With a snort, Oldman Zeng led 16 senior elders toward Zhao Guang’s office. If Zhao Guang couldn’t give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn’t mind destroying the whole building with the elders.
A member of East Ocean injured Zeng Yitao, the Crown Prince of West Ocean, and damaged his Dragon Core, making him drop to Li-level from Zhen-level. Now, Zeng Yitao couldn’t even use his natal dharma treasure, Coil Dragon Gold Spear! Such a disgrace made the conflict between East Ocean and West Ocean escalate to a new degree! A war could break out!
After all, the Dragon Core was foundational to a dragon, and it was related to his or her life. Since Zeng Yitao’s dragon core was damaged, and his realm dropped, it would be extremely difficult to recover; it would even hinder his cultivation future.
This time, Oldman Zeng healed Zeng Yitao’s damaged dragon core at the cost of 500 years of his own cultivation strength. Despite his efforts, Zeng Yitao’s Zhen-level realm was not as stable as before.
That explained Oldman Zeng’s burning fury.
Bang!
Oldman Zeng kicked a big hole in the door to the office at the end of the corridor.
Sitting in the chair behind the desk, Zhao Guang looked up from the file in his hands. “Elder Zeng, what brings you here?”
Bang! The door broke out and flew onto the red carpet in the office.
“I believe you know what happened to Zeng Yitao!” Oldman Zeng walked in front of Zhao Guang and left a deep handprint on the redwood desk.
The burning rage in his eyes showed that he was prepared to kill Zhao Guang regardless of the consequences.
“I heard about the incident with Zeng Yitao. It seems to me that the Dragon God Shrine accidentally hurt him in the process of capturing Black Wolf,” still sitting, Zhao Guang looked up and said to Oldman Zeng.
He had received warnings when Oldman Zeng flew across the sky above East Ocean City with 16 elders. He also knew that they came directly to Mingri Group after landing.
However, no one from East Ocean had the power to stop Oldman Zeng and his elders.
The only thing he could do now was to think of a way to send them back. He was not pleased to see Oldman Zeng running wild on East Ocean’s territory. However, he had no choice but to hold his anger in check.
“Dragon God Shrine?” Oldman Zeng stared at Zhao Guang with his widely-opened eyes. “It’s true that Black Wolf was captured and brought to the Dragon God Shrine, but none of them dares to hurt my grandson!”
Zhao Guang put down the file and stood up slowly. “Hao Ren did injure him; what do you want?”
“What do I want?!” Oldman Zeng glared at him while another handprint appeared in the redwood desk before Zhao Guang.
The files were shattered into pieces.
In the past, Oldman Zeng would never have come to East Ocean’s territory to mess with them didn’t matter how mad he was, let alone yelling at Zhao Guang.
But now that Zhao Kuo had disappeared after the Heavenly Tribulation, the strength of West Ocean was much more powerful than East Ocean!
The East Ocean Dragon Palace was protected by traps and array formations, but Oldman Zeng didn’t have to worry about anything when breaking into the headquarter of Mingri Group.
“Ren is the Fuma of East Ocean. If you dare to mess with him, East Ocean won’t stand by and watch,” Zhao Guang looked at Oldman Zeng and said lightly.
“Very good!” Oldman Zeng emitted an overwhelming pressure, causing wild winds in the entire building.
With a wave of his hand, he shattered the door to his left.
In the meeting room sat the elders of East Ocean such as Elder Sun.
Oldman Zeng raised his head and turned to the meeting room overbearingly. He emphasized each of his words, “I will give you three days to hand over Hao Ren.”
“Or…” Oldman Zeng squinted his eyes. “I’ll get him myself!”
The East Ocean elders all looked stunned.
Undoubtedly, Oldman Zeng was using this excuse to make trouble for them.
If East Ocean handed over their Fuma, it would be a great humiliation to them. If East Ocean tried to protect Hao Ren, Oldman Zeng would have a proper excuse to declare war on them!
After all, although no one had witnessed the details, it was true that Hao Ren had injured Zeng Yitao and made the Crown Prince of West Ocean drop to a lower realm.
More importantly, the combat ability of West Ocean was now much greater than that of East Ocean, so they had a louder voice.
It didn’t matter that Hao Ren could justify himself; since he had injured the Crown Prince of West Ocean, Oldman Zeng had every reason to make trouble for them.
None of them knew that a human cultivator on the Soul Formation Realm was involved in the incident and that officials in the Dragon God Shrine did not personally capture Black Wolf.
However, even if they had known about it, a human cultivator on the Soul Formation Realm wouldn’t get involved in the internal conflicts among the Dragon Clans.
Anyway, Oldman Zeng would hold East Ocean accountable no matter what.
“I must have him in three days! By the way, his title of Assisting Inspector is nothing to me!” After issuing the threat, Oldman Zeng stomped out of the office, leaving behind a few deep footprints on the floor.
Even official inspectors had to make ways for Oldman Zeng, the ruler of a significant region. While Su Han was recovering from her injuries in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Oldman Zeng didn’t think that the distant Dragon God Shrine would offend him by helping an assisting inspector!
Standing behind his desk, Zhao Guang looked at the mess in the room before turning to look at the elders in the meeting room.
Several elders sitting by the rear-side of the table looked at him and wanted to say something.
“Anyone who dares to suggest that we should hand over Ren will end up like this bead!” Zhao Guang pointed at a glass bead on a shelf full of handcrafted items, and that bead shattered instantly.
