Seeing that Hao Ren was chewing on his bun, Su Han couldn’t help but nudge him. “Say something.”
In the students’ eyes, Su Han was touching a guy on purpose, and it made them so surprised that their mouth opened wide.
Hao Ren kept on eating, deciding not to fall for Su Han’s new trap.
“I have a way to get into the Nine Dragon Palace, but I need you to lead the way. The palace could be opened by the Four Ocean Dragon Clans and has a time limit of six hours. But there won’t be any time limit if we sneak in. Then, we can share the treasures 50/50.”
Seeing how Hao Ren was, Su Han directly put everything on the table.
“No time limits? 50/50?” Hao Ren finally looked up with half a bun in his mouth.
“I’ll give you a week to think about it. The Nine Dragon Palace doesn’t belong to East Ocean anyway. If you get something, it will be East Ocean that benefits.” Su Han stood up with the tray and returned it at the door. Then, she left the cafeteria.
Hao Ren sat there and considered if the deal was worth it. He would be providing the information, and Su Han had the strength. They could share the elixir pills, treasures, and techniques equally. It did sound very tempting.
After a while, Hao Ren stood up, returned the tray, and left the cafeteria as well.
When he went back to the dorm to get his books for cla.s.s, the guys had already left; he had no idea that the jog and breakfast in the morning took so much time. When Hao Ren rushed to the Academic Building with his textbooks, it was already time for cla.s.s.
Hao Ren hesitated at the door of the cla.s.sroom. Zhou Liren, who was sitting in the back row, noticed Hao Ren at the door and waved at him.
He pointed at his mouth and then the empty seat beside him, hinting that the teacher was taking the attendance.
Hao Ren bent his back and tried to sneak into the cla.s.sroom from the back door, heading toward the back row where the guys were.
“Hey! You are late, and you are trying to sneak in?” The teacher, ‘White Tiger,’ who was famous for being strict, lifted his arm, pointed at the back row and shouted.
Hao Ren had no choice but to turn around in embarra.s.sment and stand up straight.
“Now that ‘White Tiger’ caught you, you are screwed, Ren. I forgot to tell you that you weren’t here last time he took attendance too. You will probably fail this course…” Yu Rong whispered to Hao Ren from the side of the aisle.
Hao Ren somehow felt like he was taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Xie Yujia turned back to look at Hao Ren with worry from the front row.
“What’s your name?” The teacher in his white suit went through his list with a pen in his hand as he stared at Hao Ren.
“Um… Hao Ren,” Hao Ren gritted his teeth in embarra.s.sment and answered.
This cla.s.s, Engineering Theories, was jointed, and Cla.s.s One and Cla.s.s Two took it together. Right now, all the students from both cla.s.ses, familiar with Hao Ren or not, were staring at him.
“Hao Ren…” The teacher slid the pen down his list and asked, “You weren’t here for the last cla.s.s either, right?”
“Last cla.s.s… I had some family issues…” Hao Ren answered. He was standing in the aisle in the back of the cla.s.sroom like a model for everyone to look at.
The teacher finally spotted Hao Ren’s name on the list. Then, he noticed a gold star marked in front of Hao Ren’s name and remembered something. His stern face immediately softened. “Oh, Hao Ren. Go ahead and take a seat. It’s alright to be a bit late.”
All the students from both cla.s.ses were stupefied.
They had all learned about ‘White Tiger’s’ temper after a year, and they wouldn’t have given him this nickname if it weren’t for his bad temper and interest in scolding students.
Hao Ren couldn’t react in time, and he stood still.
“Why are you still standing? Find a seat and sit down for cla.s.s,” the teacher said. Although he sounded like he was rus.h.i.+ng Hao Ren, the soft tone was nowhere near his usual ‘White Tiger’ tone!
“Oh…” Hao Ren squeezed into the seat beside Yu Rong who was stupefied.
“Alright, let’s go on with our attendance! Yu Rong!” ‘White Tiger’ shouted as he noticed that the students all seemed a bit stunned.
The shout dragged everyone back to reality.
“Here, here, here!” Yu Rong put his hand in the air and answered three times in a row. He looked at Hao Ren with a strange expression. “This guy is something else. Not only did he get the princ.i.p.al’s granddaughters’ interests, but the teachers also give him special treatment. When can I get even half of what he has… Either one of the twins would work for me…” he thought.
Hao Ren was confused himself. He rushed to cla.s.s today since he had missed two days of cla.s.ses. However, everything was fine once he mentioned his name…
He had no idea that the note from Lu Qing put a special mark beside his name on the list of all his teachers. The teachers all knew that special treatments should be given!
Not only Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili also had this kind of special treatment. However, their gold stars were in the teachers’ hearts instead of on the name list!
It was public information that the twins were granddaughters of the Vice-Princ.i.p.al, Lu Qing! Everyone could see how much Lu Qing cared for them since he had always consulted the teachers for their performances. He also arranged for them to stay in the comfortable post-graduate apartment on campus!
‘White Tiger’ started his cla.s.s energetically, but Hao Ren still felt weird about receiving special treatment. He was able to do other things in cla.s.s before, but he had to listen carefully now since he felt like ‘White Tiger’ kept looking in his direction.
“Ren, are you really becoming Mr. Lu Qing’s grandson-in-law? Even ‘White Tiger’ has to let you be,” Cao Ronghua sneaked over and whispered.
They couldn’t think of any other reason why the teacher would be so nice to Hao Ren. Students had been late to his cla.s.s before; a guy from Cla.s.s One was two minutes late to cla.s.s last week, and they enjoyed the show of him being scolded brutally by ‘White Tiger’ when he entered the cla.s.sroom. It had only been a week, and there was no reason for White Tiger to change so much in terms of temper.
“Maybe he is in a good mood today. Stop talking, or you may have to suffer once he catches you!” Hao Ren said.
Cao Ronghua closed his mouth immediately as he saw ‘White Tiger’s’ eyes scanning over. He didn’t dare to p*ss ‘White Tiger’ off since he was not Lu Qing’s grandson-in-law.
Hao Ren remembered what Su Hao had said in the cafeteria today. Indeed, since he had just gotten back from the Nine Dragon Palace, he was very interested in going again.
Even if Su Han was hiding something from him, she wasn’t the type of person who would trick him into trouble. Plus, there might be some huge secrets inside of the Nine Dragon Palace.
Hao Ren wasn’t sure if it were reasonable to a.s.sist Su Han in there as her a.s.sisting Inspector.
He was a little anxious. Once he noticed that White Tiger wasn’t paying close attention to him anymore, he logged onto QQ with his cell phone.
There weren’t many people online, but Zhao Yanzi’s lightened icon caught his eyes.
Hao Ren sent her a message after thinking for a bit. “You are on QQ in cla.s.s!”
After quite a few minutes, Hao Ren’s cellphone lit up with her response. “So are you!”
“Nah, I’m taking a nap in my dorm.” Hao Ren didn’t want to admit that he was not paying attention in cla.s.s.
Zhao Yanzi didn’t answer, and Hao Ren couldn’t help but send another message over. “How are you doing today!”
“How bored are you? I am in my Science Laboratory Cla.s.s!” Zhao Yanzi replied.
Hao Ren thought to himself, “Science Laboratory Cla.s.s must be the one where they create small things.” However, he decided not to bother her again.
“Ren, which pretty girl are you texting?” Zhou Liren sneaked over.
“Get out of here!” Hao Ren blocked him with his hand while the phone in his other hand flashed again.
“I am a little dizzy today. You don’t need to come over and tutor tonight,” Zhao Yanzi sent another message on QQ.
“Go back home and rest if you are not feeling well,” Hao Ren replied immediately.
“It’s fine. So annoying!” Zhao Yanzi answered, shutting the conversation down.
“d.a.m.n girl. She just doesn’t want to study tonight.” Hao Ren thought as he shrugged and put the tutoring materials on his desk away.
Xie Yujia sensed that something was happening in the back and suddenly turned to them.
Zhou Liren was just bothering Hao Ren as he looked to the front and said, “Did you realize that Xie Yujia looks prettier than before? Did she put on some makeup?”
“How would I know!” Hao Ren rolled his eyes at him.
But the moment Xie Yujia turned back, Hao Ren felt like she did have a unique aura.
“I feel like she got prettier too, but her outfit looks the same,” Yu Rong added a few seats away.
Hao Ren pulled his Nature Essence and looked at Xie Yujia; he didn’t notice any signs of cultivation technique.
It was strange for her to obtain a better aura just in a few days without cultivation.
She was naturally a beautiful girl; if it weren’t for the Cla.s.s President position which put her in charge of a lot of things, she would have been a quiet and charming girl all along. With her originally attractive temperament and some makeup, she would be a man-killer in the future.
Hao Ren got more confused since Xie Yujia hadn’t been in touch with him lately as if she was busy with something.
If it were before and she realized that Hao Ren had been missing cla.s.ses for a few days, Xie Yujia would definitely be calling him and asking him what was going on.
(TL NOTE: Hey guys, here are the two chapters for today! What do you guys think? Did MC and Su Han enter the Nine Dragon Palace in the future?)
