Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Hao Ren suddenly felt intense pressure on his chest.
He sensed that something was wrong and turned back immediately. It was the man who was in Su Han’s office earlier standing behind him, sneering.
This man lifted a finger and flicked it at Hao Ren.
Boom!
Hao Ren felt like a giant hammer smashed him, and it forced him to pounce out of the library!
Thankfully, there were a few stairs at the door. Hao Ren stepped on them as he struggled to stand still.
Splash…
The necklace Su Han gave him suddenly broke open, and the amber from Zi and the golden pearl from Su Han both fell to the ground.
This ‘genius artist’ who was popular in the media only flicked his finger casually as if he was flicking off a speck of dust from his shirt.
He was in a pair of light-colored pants, a grey shirt, and black shoes. He looked like he was in his late twenties, and his handsome face was impeccable. His temperament showed what a gentleman he was as well.
“Don’t get near Su Han in the future,” he said lightly as Hao Ren finally stood straight.
He looked at Hao Ren condescendingly. If Huang Xujie’s attitude was out of jealousy, Qin Shaoyang’s was entirely out of despite.
Shoo! Shoo!
There went two rays of green light!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili appeared by Qin Shaoyang’s sides!
Since the library was about to close, there was no student nearby. The sisters started attacking Qin Shaoyang without a word.
They both aimed at Qin Shaoyang’s handsome face!
He raised his hands to block the attacks, but Lu Linlin and Lu Lili suddenly changed the direction of their hands!
Pa! Pa! Qin Shaoyang got two hard slaps on his face.
He stepped back to defend as the sisters stepped forward.
Pa! Pa! Their hands went back to their original positions and gave him two more slaps.
Qin Shaoyang tried to block it with both of his hands up and his head down. However, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili changed their moves and went through Qin Shaoyang’s defense.
Pa! Pa! Two more hard slaps!
“Stop it!” Hao Ren shouted.
Shoo! Shoo! Lu Linlin and Lu Lili turned into two rays of green lights and appeared by Hao Ren’s sides.
Qin Shaoyang looked up in panic. There were six clear hand prints on his handsome face.
If it weren’t for Hao Ren’s call, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili would have kept going until his entire face was swollen!
“This is what’s going to happen if you bully Gongzi again!” Lu Linlin said angrily to Qin Shaoyang with her eyes wide open.
“Are you alright, Gongzi? My sister and I sensed that you were under attack, so we came over immediately,” Lu Lili asked Hao Ren softly, full of worries.
Qin Shaoyang felt the intense burning pain in his cheeks, and he was both shocked and furious. He was surprised at how these two girls broke through his invisible shield easily and mad at being slapped six times in a row; no one had ever hit him in the face before! If it weren’t for Hao Ren, he might have got slapped more!
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! The sound of the six slaps was still echoing in his head.
After making sure that the twins of unknown background wouldn’t attack again, Qin Shaoyang raised his arms and pointed at Hao Ren.
“Attacking an Inspector. I am writing that down on my list!”
Hao Ren bent over to pick up the broken necklace and the precious accessories. Then, he left without a word.
He had written this incident down on his list as well!
Since he hasn’t reached Kan-level, he wasn’t able to use the first-level techniques of Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. Therefore, he had to wait until later to deal with this Inspector who was at least on the Kun-level.
Those six slaps could be the temporary punishment for now. After all, Lu Linlin’s and Lu Lili’s help couldn’t be counted as his own.
Qin Shaoyang who was on the stairs suddenly remembered something when he saw the twin sisters leave with Hao Ren.
“Could he be that half-human-half-dragon Hao Ren? Humph… I don’t think they will be protecting you every single day!”
In just a second, a wave of extremely strong power streamed down from above. Then, Qin Shaoyang heard a roar, “How dare you bully members of our East Ocean?!”
Boom! An icicle landed precisely in front of him. It rubbed across his nose and ripped a large cut in his grey shirt at the same time.
Qin Shaoyang who was a mid-tier Kun-level Master looked up at the sky in panic, “East Ocean Zhao Kuo!”
“Hahahaha… I finally came out of the seclusion cultivation! The hell with the Heavenly Tribulation! Zi’s birthday is the most important thing right now!” Zhao Kuo’s loud voice came through the sky.
Hao Ren was already at the school gate, so he had no idea that Zhao Kuo’s appearance was scaring Qin Shaoyang to death. Hao Ren said to the sisters, “You guys can go back now. I still need to go to Zi’s house.”
“Gongzi, take care on the way there.” The twin sisters were reluctant to say goodbye.
Hao Ren simply smiled at them.
Lu Lili suddenly grabbed his wrist when he was boarding the bus. “Gongzi, the necklace is fixed, but it is no longer a Dharma treasure since it doesn’t have the array formation anymore.”
“Thank you very much.” Hao Ren took the necklace as he suddenly realized how careful and thoughtful Lu Lili was.
The Lu sisters watched Hao Ren as he got on the bus. Afterward, they looked into each other’s eyes and went back to the school hand in hand. They were going to find Lu Qing and go home together.
The bus took Hao Ren to Zhao Yanzi’s house, and it was her who opened the door in her blue school uniform. She must have just gotten back since she hadn’t gotten changed yet.
Hao Ren was confused at how quiet the house was.
“Where are your parents?”
“My dad has a lot of things to deal with, and my mom is working overtime at her office.”
Zhao Yanzi went to the kitchen and came out with a bowl of instant noodles in her hands.
“That’s what you’re having for dinner?” Hao Ren asked.
“It’s none of your business,” Zhao Yanzi didn’t realize Hao Ren was worried about her and continued, “This is the only pack left.”
Zhao Yanzi misunderstood Hao Ren while he was still looking at her. She threw another pair of chopsticks at him and said in annoyance, “Fine, fine. You can have some too! It’s too much for me anyways!”
Hao Ren was worried that the instant noodle was not good for Zhao Yanzi since she was at her growing and developing age. However, the pair of chopsticks she threw him made him want some noodles.
She was too lazy to get another bowl to split the noodles. Therefore, the two of them ate from the same bowl with their heads close to each other. They had fun fighting over the noodles with two pairs of chopsticks in that one bowl.
Since Hao Ren was starving and the instant noodle appeared to be very delicious at the moment, he wasn’t really in the position to criticize Zhao Yanzi for eating something as unhealthy as this.
Pa! The last string of noodle was bitten in half by them.
They were fighting over the noodles like little kids, and the last string of noodle was the last thing to fight for. Each of them put one end in their mouth, and their noses almost touched.
“Um-hum…”
They were both embarrassed when they realize that, so they coughed a bit to cover up the flush on their faces.
“Alright! Now go do the dishes!” Zhao Yanzi threw her chopsticks into the bowl and shouted at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren saw her blush and knew that her heartbeat was probably really fast. He quickly went into the kitchen, poured the noodle soup out of the bowl, and washed it with their chopsticks.
When he got out of the kitchen, Zhao Yanzi had already changed into a white T-shirt, a floral print vest, and a black belt.
“Come on, I, the big sister, will take you to the Art District!” she said to Hao Ren as she pretended to be sophisticated and mature.
