Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Boom… Hearing the news, the students didn’t know if it were true or not, but they all swarmed out of the hall.
Pushed by the crowd, Hao Ren walked out while dragging Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi with him.
Instantly, the art exhibition became deserted
Even though she was embarra.s.sed, Jiang Yuan also wanted to see Song Qingya.
As a superstar singer, Song Qingya was popular across the country, and even Jiang Yuan was her fan.
Jiang Yuan hoped that she could have the opportunity to take a picture with Song Qingya. Also, if she could invite Song Qingya to see her art exhibition, she would be in the entertainment news too.
“Is Song Qingya the superstar singer?” The seniors in the art circle asked each other.
In their sixties and seventies, they had no interest in the entertainment circle, but they had heard about Song Qingya.
“Right. Let’s go out and have a look.” One of them suggested.
The senior painter who just spoke was a master in the art circle and liked to hear Beijing Opera. However, he was also a fan of Song Qingya. He listened to her songs at home, but he was embarra.s.sed to admit it.
“Let’s go.” The others agreed.
They had come to see the exhibition to show their respect to Jiang Yuan’s teacher.
In fact, in their eyes, these paintings were quite immature even though they were great among the younger generation.
Now that Song Qingya had come, these senior painters wanted to see her as well, losing interest in the art exhibition.
The professors of the Arts Program walked out of the exhibition with these seniors following the crowd.
People were everywhere outside while the students who were supposed to be in cla.s.s piled up by the windows of the academic buildings on both sides of the road.
Wearing a high-waist dress, a pair of red high-heels, a pair of sungla.s.ses, and silver earrings, Song Qingya’s outfit was simple, but it couldn’t conceal her s.h.i.+ny light as a star.
She had come to East Ocean University to see Hao Ren. Thinking that she wouldn’t be recognized in this outfit, she asked her a.s.sistant to park the van in the distance while she walked to the academic buildings to find Hao Ren.
However, she only walked a dozen steps before a student recognized her with a scream, attracting the attention of nearby students.
The five to six bodyguards rushed out of the van to block the students who dashed toward her.
This convinced the students that she was indeed the big star Song Qingya. Instantly, more students swarmed over.
Song Qingya was too famous. Not expecting that she would come to East Ocean University, the people, no matter if they were fans or not, surrounded Song Qingya.
“Ok. Make a path for her,” a clear and calm voice sounded in the crowd.
The students looked back and saw that the speaker was Hao Ren who stood between Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi. After a few seconds of hesitation, they stepped back gradually.
At the sight of Hao Ren, the members of the Calligraphy Club in the crowd helped to disperse the crowd.
The chaotic situation turned orderly in the blink of an eye after Hao Ren spoke!
Standing at the outer edge of the crowd and being pushed around by other students, Jiang Yuan was stupefied.
The emperor of the students!
Hao Ren had a unique presence!
In her mind, if such a guy could be her boyfriend, she would have a dazzling memory in the future!
Since she was rarely in school, she didn’t know how the students felt about Hao Ren, a figure who could beat an entire soccer team and had a vice princ.i.p.al to cover him!
“Never mess with Hao Ren!” This was a statement that most students followed.
Therefore, when Hao Ren spoke, the students who knew his significance all stepped back while the ones with slow reactions were pulled aside by the members of the Calligraphy Club.
Seeing the crowd becoming orderly, Song Qingya smiled cheerfully at Hao Ren’s voice and waved her hand. “Here you are; I came to see you.”
Hong… Song Qingya’s words stupefied the people around her
“The international star came to the school to see Hao Ren?!” they thought.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi beside Hao Ren, Song Qingya blinked at her slightly.
She didn’t officially greet Zhao Yanzi. After all, she was still in middle school, and her school life would be affected by such a big sensation.
Zhao Yanzi knew that if her cla.s.smates knew that she was friends with Song Qingya, she would be bothered by the other girls in her school. Therefore, she smiled cheerfully and didn’t say a word.
Song Qingya glanced at the other girl beside Hao Ren, and her eyes lit up instantly.
Immerged in people’s praises, it was rare for Song Qingya to feel like someone was more beautiful than herself.
The girl was dressed simply without any make-up, but she was eye-catching and stood out from the crowd.
She saw that Xie Yujia was looking at her as well, and she felt a bit wrong. She felt like Xie Yujia was wondering about the relations.h.i.+p between Hao Ren and her.
“Well, Zi has a great rival, which explains her agitation,” Song Qingya thought as she lowered her head with a smile. Then, she said to Hao Ren, “I came to record a special interview in East Ocean City, and I came to see you while I’m here.”
“Hehe, I see. You attracted such a big crowd,” Hao Ren said with a smile.
Hearing their friendly conversation, Xie Yujia’s expression softened a bit. After seeing that Zhao Yanzi wasn’t anxious, she knew she had over-reacted.
Hearing their conversation, the surrounding students realized that Hao Ren and Song Qingya seemed to be friends, which deepened their awe of Hao Ren.
In fact, the relations.h.i.+p between East Ocean and South Ocean wasn’t distant. Having met Song Qingya once who was a friend of Zhao Yanzi’s mom, Hao Ren and Song Qingya were no strangers.
The most astonished person here was Jiang Yuan who had thought that Hao Ren’s power and popularity was restricted within the school. Now, she found that Hao Ren was even friends with the superstar Song Qingya!
Her proud heart was shattered, knowing that Hao Ren who could have a friendly conversation with Song Qingya had no regard for her!
Zhou Liren and Hao Ren’s other buddies were also astonished. With their eyes wide open, they were stunned to find out that Hao Ren knew the superstar Song Qingya.
Zhou Liren was especially astonished. Even though Su Han as a G.o.ddess in his mind, Song Qingya was his main G.o.ddess! He was a super fan of Song Qingya!
Although Su Han was more beautiful, Song Qingya was a superstar, an international idol, and the super G.o.ddess of his dreams! She was sweet and n.o.ble with exceptional talent in singing!
“Can we talk alone?” Song Qingya spread her arms.
“Ok,” Hao Ren agreed.
The members of the Calligraphy Club immediately helped Song Qingya’s bodyguards to make a pathway.
Song Qingya and Hao Ren walked to a spot out of the hearing of the students who took out their cell phones and took pictures on tiptoes.
“Our president’s cultivation strength has grown again. I could sense his nature essence before, but now it’s invisible to me.”
“Yeah. He has reached the realm of merging into the mortals. Powerful!”
The members of the Calligraphy Club whispered to each other while keeping order.
None of them dared to test Hao Ren’s strength, thinking that Hao Ren had gained another breakthrough during the weekend, and that was why they couldn’t sense his realm.
Although Hao Ren’s nature essence had disappeared, his presence was still there!
“Didn’t Brother-In-Law come with you?” When they were alone, Hao Ren asked Song Qingya.
Since Zhao Yanzi called Song Qingya ‘Sister,’ he thought it was ok to follow suit even though it sounded quite intimate.
“He’s extremely busy, but he will visit your father-in-law soon,” Song Qingya said with a smile.
Belonging to the river branch, her husband Yongding Dragon King was very powerful. Yongding River was one of the five prominent rivers, and it had more than 50,000 square kilometers under control.
As the Seventh Princess of South Ocean, Song Qingya had been matched well with marrying Yongding Dragon King.
In the past half a year, the East Ocean Dragon Clan had emerged with strong momentum, almost devouring the West Ocean Dragon Clan. That induced the dragon kings from all directions to offer congratulations.
With his territory north of the mainland, Yongding Dragon King was closer to North Ocean in location, but he had a more intimate relations.h.i.+p with South Ocean through marriage. However, with East Ocean getting stronger, he must have a relations.h.i.+p with them.
Coming to East Ocean City, Song Qingya’s main purpose was to visit East Ocean Dragon King and Hao Ren instead of recording the interview.
Now that she was married to Yongding Dragon King, she must handle things for her husband. Before Yongding Dragon King, who had only a few connections with East Ocean, come to visit East Ocean, she had come here prior to his visit to deepen the connection.
“Good. We’ll welcome brother-in-law to visit East Ocean,” Hao Ren said. He brought up the topic of her husband for this purpose.
The East Ocean Dragon Palace was actively befriending the other dragon clans. Now that the Southeast Region was settled, they would like to befriend Yongding Dragon King, an important force in the North.
Hao Ren’s words represented the att.i.tude of the Commanding General of East Ocean. Therefore, Song Qingya was pleased with his welcome.
“Good. When he’s free, he will visit East Ocean,” she said.
“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded.
His impression of South Ocean was neutral, but he liked Song Qingya.
Song Qingya turned her head and glanced at the excited students before saying to Hao Ren with a smile, “A few days ago, I went back to the South Ocean Dragon Palace, and I must thank you for saving my elder brother.”
Then, she bowed at Hao Ren slightly.
Song Qingya was obviously referring to the incident when Hao Ren gave a detox pill to help the Third Prince of South Ocean get rid of the toxin from a level 8 demon beast.
A level 4 detox pill was very valuable to ordinary dragon clans, and it showed Hao Ren’s admirable generosity when he saved the prince of South Ocean while disregarding the boundaries of different oceans.
“It was nothing.” Her gesture honored Hao Ren.
He still remembered the favor Song Qingya did for him when she let him and Zi stay in her home for one night.
“I’m sorry that my elder brother tried to test you with attacks. He’s a proud man, and he even opposed me marrying Yongding Dragon King in the beginning,” Song Qingya said apologetically.
When she returned to the South Ocean Dragon Palace, she had asked about the things happening in the South Ocean lately and knew that her proud brother had attacked Hao Ren in the West Ocean Dragon Palace and was defeated by Hao Ren with ease, which was why she hastened to East Ocean City to apologize to Hao Ren.
As the Seventh Princess of South Ocean and the younger sister of the Third Prince of South Ocean, her apology represented herself and South Ocean as a whole.
Among the four oceans, the most famous commanding general was Hao Ren, the Commanding General of East Ocean. West Ocean was in decline while Hao Ren defeated the other two commanding generals, proving that the other two oceans were no match for East Ocean.
After coming to East Ocean City, Song Qingya visited Hao Ren first instead of Zhao Guang, showing the importance of Hao Ren’s stance.
“It was just a small misunderstanding.” Hao Ren waved his hand.
South Ocean and North Ocean had been aggressive in fighting for their interests, but they had their reasons. Now that the two dragon clans had backed down and agreed to the East Ocean Dragon Clan being first place, Hao Ren didn’t mind these small conflicts.
In the world of cultivation, people respected the powerful ones. Although the dragon cultivators didn’t kill each other like human cultivators, the compet.i.tions were fierce.
In fact, after Hao Ren defeated the other two commanding generals, the two oceans sent messengers to East Ocean with gifts as a gesture of apology.
Zhao Guang hadn’t told Hao Ren these things since they were the exchanges between dragon palaces, and they weren’t that important.
Seeing Hao Ren holding no grudges against South Ocean, Song Qingya smiled with relief and replied, “Ok. We’ve talked enough about the affairs of the dragon palaces.”
She opened her golden purse and drew out a small plastic bag. “These are 50 pictures I took in p.h.u.ket last week, and we will pick one of them as the cover picture for my new alb.u.m. I signed each of the pictures, and I guess Zi might want them.”
In the distance, the students extended their necks, trying to see what Song Qingya gave Hao Ren.
The guys were especially green with envy, wondering if the superstar singer Song Qingya had a special relations.h.i.+p with Hao Ren.
“Su Han! Su Han is here!” Someone yelled.
