"When class is over, ask Xie Yujia to come together. That's all." Su Han ended the conversation.
Haoren felt the token at his waist and knew that he could always respond to Su Han anytime, but still dared not disturb her修煉.
"There are three methods for speed control of DC motors: series resistance in armature circuit, voltage adjustment, and field weakening..."
The teacher continued lecturing at the podium.
He turned around to see that Xie Yujia's notes were meticulously copied, which would be their greatest support for the final exam.
Ting ting ting ting...
Haoren received a text message on his phone.
Opening it, he saw a message from Zhou Liren: Please copy Xie Yujia's notes and lend them to the brothers in苦海.
Haoren turned back to look at Zhou Liren who had assumed a posture of praying to Buddha with a flattering smile on his face.
Haoren looked down upon him lightly, then turned around again to continue listening to the lecture.
Ting ting...
The notification for Haoren's WeChat messages sounded off.
"Still coming over today to make up lessons" It was actually a message from Zhao Yanzǐ.
Haoren exited the chat, logged into his phone QQ, and saw that Zhao Yanzǐ was indeed online.
"It's almost final exam time, why aren't you reviewing properly!" Haoren quickly sent over several sentences.
"The teacher is too boring. You explain it better." Zhao Yanzǐ immediately replied back.
"I won't be coming tonight; I have something to do," Haoren responded.
"Ah! Dare you!" Zhao Yanzǐ's message instantly became urgent.
Imagining Zhao Yanzǐ in the classroom with a pouting face and upturned nose, Haoren couldn't help but laugh as he typed back, "For these few days, don't go to the fifth floor of heaven. Study hard; I'll come over tonight."
"Humph" "Hum hum hum!" Zhao Yanzǐ sent four consecutive huffs and didn't reply again.
Haoren turned his head to look out the window, seeing the campus in the rain shrouded in a faint mist.
If Zhao Yanzǐ's mind was elsewhere during class, she too would see such a rainy view of the campus.
Ding ding...
The sound of the dismissal bell suddenly rang out. Xie Yujia returned Xiao Ren's notes and went back to her dormitory where she would copy them again. Without a doubt, the person who took the most meticulous notes in class was Xie Yujia, and also unsurprisingly, her grades were the best in the class.
Even if she had used some of her energy managing the class previously, she still won scholarships every semester.
"Big Brother! Big Brother!" Zhou Liren dragged Huang Jianfeng over to Xiao Ren. "Could we borrow your sister's notes"
The former monitor Xie Yujia was now Xiao Ren’s girlfriend; they were very familiar with him, so logically, they assumed that their relationship with her wasn’t too distant either. Seeing that she hadn't replied, Zhou Liren went straight to asking for a favor.
Although Xie Yujia had been pressuring them as monitor previously, hearing them call out in front of the whole class still made her face turn slightly red.
"Big...sister..." Zhou Liren was about to ask again when Xie Yujia quickly grabbed a book and covered his mouth. "Ask Marina for it instead; all my notes are on my bookshelf."
“Thank you, Big Sister!” Zhou Liren pushed away the books with great enthusiasm as he turned towards Marina.
Marina huffed and said, “Follow me then.”
"Alright! Thank you, big sister!" Zhou Liren followed Marina closely behind. He had failed several courses last year; if he were to fail again this year, his third and fourth years would be ruined.
Going along with Xiao Ren was indeed a worry-free life!
Seeing that Zhou Liren left, Xie Yujia turned her slightly flushed face and said, "I'll go borrow some books from the library."
"Let's go together," Xiao Ren said as he noticed it had started to drizzle. Xie Yujia’s bike was parked at their dormitory on the other side of campus, so she would have to walk there instead. The rain made the air particularly fresh; students were passing by in small groups, and the schoolyard was full of vitality.
Xie Yujia raised her delicate arm with a slender hand and used it as an umbrella over her forehead to block out the drizzling raindrops.
Her skin was fair, her fingers were fine, and the shape of her whole arm was flawless. Even the statues of artfully crafted characters could not compare to Xie Yujia’s beauty.
The male students heading to class under the light drizzle couldn't help but glance at Xie Yujia across from them.
“That must be Xiao Ren… His girlfriend, Xie Yujia is really beautiful…”
Various whispers reached Xiao Ren's ears.
"Let’s go," Xiao Ren gently tugged the other arm of Xie Yujia and quickened his pace. She was slightly surprised, her large eyes staring blankly for a moment before she hurriedly sped up too.
Due to the rain, fine threads of water clung onto Xie Yujia's arms, making her skin feel cold. Xiao Ren held her wrist and secretly released some Fire Essence Energy. Her Death Note could absorb external Essence Energy; as she suddenly felt warmth in her body, she also felt a warm feeling inside.
She wore a short-sleeved denim shirt with an A-line checkered skirt, and her long legs were the focus of many male students’ gazes.
Even though she was wearing flat canvas shoes instead of high heels, her figure from head to toe was something that other girls could not compare to no matter how much they dressed up.
And those boys who still lingered and turned around to look at Xie Yujia suddenly felt a damp gale blowing behind them. A few stumbles later, they rushed into the teaching building.
"Su Han said we should drop by her office; I didn’t say anything in class because there were too many classmates," Xiao Ren explained.
"Oh..." Xie Yujia nodded, almost forgetting that she was heading to the library.
Hao Ren pulled Xie Yujia along steadily, leaping over one puddle after another towards the administration building beside the library. Meanwhile, Xie Yujia’s feet in canvas shoes nimbly hopped from puddle to puddle while her fingers remained tightly latched onto Hao Ren.
This was enough, she silently told herself.
Stepping up the stairs and entering the administration building where teachers gathered, Hao Ren finally released Xie Yujia’s delicate hand and patted off the mist on his raincoat. Xie Yujia lowered her head to adjust the strands of hair in front of her forehead before quickly following Hao Ren towards the third floor.
Hao Ren was familiar with this place, and he walked straight to Su Han's office door.
"Come in."
As soon as she sensed Hao Ren’s arrival at the door, Su Han spoke up without waiting for him to knock.
Hao Ren pushed open the door; Xie Yujia stood somewhat awkwardly beside him.
"Teacher Su," Xie Yujia called out cautiously upon seeing Su Han.
Although she had met Su Han several times in her life, including watching the dragon boat race together yesterday, and despite Su Han having graduated directly to stay on as a teacher who was not much older than her, Xie Yujia still felt somewhat nervous facing the ice queen-like Teacher Su Han within the school premises.
"Come in," said Su Han coolly.
Hao Ren stepped inside; Xie Yujia immediately followed him in.
"I will accompany you to Kunlun Mountain." Su Han looked at Hao Ren and said.
"Kunlun" Hao Ren was somewhat puzzled.
"Yes," Su Han nodded, "the Five-Colored Lotus with a Heart of Transformation originated from Kunlun. Since this is the case, it might be possible to find another one."
Hao Ren suddenly understood that what Su Han meant was to go to Kunlun Mountain in search of the second Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus. It turned out that she had gone to the Dragon Deity Palace yesterday to look up the origin of the Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus.
Su Han had her own methods and ways of doing things, but Hao Ren never expected that Su Han, who always made use of every second for cultivation and rarely meddled in others' affairs, would proactively help him investigate clues about the Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus.
Thinking of this, Hao Ren looked at Su Han with a cold expression and felt somewhat touched.
"Don’t be unnecessarily moved; helping you is also benefiting myself. Your realm improving will be beneficial to me as well," said Su Han in a light tone upon seeing the touch in Hao Ren’s eyes.
These words were like pouring cold water over Hao Ren, cooling him down instantly.
"Uh... What's the situation with Kunlun Mountain" Hao Ren quickly adjusted his mindset and asked.
"Kunlun Mountain is forbidden territory for dragon cultivators and serves as the last piece of land on Earth for human cultivators; it’s akin to our dragon cultivators’ holy place, Nine Dragons Palace. However, the Nine Dragons Palace is in the fifth layer of heaven while Kunlun Mountain is in the first," Su Han explained.
This was the sixth time Xie Yujia had heard about such matters, and they seemed related to Hao Ren’s Mystic Crystal Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus; hence she listened attentively.
Hao Ren vaguely recalled that when Su Han went to Northwestern Tianshan Mountain, she had once passed through Kunlun Mountain. At that time, cultivators had come up to intercept her, but since Su Han was an Investigator, she received special passage.
He never expected that Kunlun Mountain would not be dragon cultivators' territory but rather the last stronghold of human cultivators on land.
"Is there a cultivator inside this Kunlun Mountain" Hao Ren asked.
"The specific situation is unknown, but it's said that there’s a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage guarding the place. However, if you want to look for the Seven-hearted Five-colored Lotus, I’m willing to take the risk and go with you once." Su Han remained calm as usual in both his appearance and speech.
“Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage”
Hao Ren thought of that old lady who didn’t even have to move a finger to send Zhao Kuo flying...
Su Han was already in the upper level of the Heaven Rank, but encountering a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would still be overwhelming...
"I’ll go with you too," Xie Yujia suddenly said.
Hao Ren, who was deep in thought, directed his gaze towards Xie Yujia. Su Han’s eyes also fell upon her shoulder.
The Seven-hearted Five-colored Lotus… Kunlun Mountain…
To be honest, Hao Ren did find it tempting. Compared to cultivating three more carefully nurtured lotus seeds, finding a mature Seven-hearted Five-colored Lotus inside Kunlun Mountain would indeed be easier.
However... Firstly, there might not still be a Seven-hearted Five-colored Lotus in Kunlun Mountain. Secondly, the temperaments of high-ranking Nascent Soul stage Cultivators were unpredictable. Thirdly, the origin place of cultivation sects wouldn’t allow Dragon Race cultivators to set foot on it.
"Forget it, let’s not take the risk," after weighing his options, Hao Ren dismissed that thought.
Just like Jiulong Palace absolutely did not welcome human race cultivators’ intrusion, Kunlun Mountain also wouldn’t welcome Dragon Race cultivators. Su Han's cultivation level was equivalent to the late stage of Nascent Soul realm, but encountering a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would still not have a good outcome.
"Since that’s the case, let’s talk about it in the future," Su Han exhaled lightly and looked towards Xie Yujia again. "Do you still have any Face-Fixing Pills"
“Oh, there are still a few,” Xie Yujia immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her bracelet.
Su Han took it over and saw that there were three left inside. She instantly revealed a smile and said, "Give me two."
"It’s fine! You can take them all!" Xie Yujia readily agreed.
With her current level of alchemy skills, as long as the materials were complete, refining a few Face-Fixing Pills was not overly complicated for Xie Yujia.
"Alright then!" Su Han didn’t bother with politeness and put the small porcelain bottle into her bracelet. She then said contentedly, "I won't take your medicinal pills for free; in return, I'll guide you through your cultivation until you reach the Core Formation stage."
Su Han’s realm was equivalent to a high-rank Nascent Soul Cultivator, and while she didn’t understand basic techniques like Breath-Condensing Art, she could provide guidance on cultivation above the Foundation Establishment stage. Xie Yujia had previously cultivated by herself through trial and error, so having Su Han, this fanatic cultivator, guide her was naturally what she wished for.
"B-but... What about me" Hao Ren hurriedly approached to ask.
Su Han’s face instantly turned cold. "You go out, I’m going to teach Yujia how to cultivate."
Uh...
Hao Ren helplessly lowered his head as a tremendous force pressed on his chest, pushing him out the door in one fell swoop.d to wonder: what kind of skill had Run Buzi practiced With his strength, he could control the leakage of true qi with just a thought and prevent even Kan-level Hao Ren from borrowing any. But as he w...
