Xie Yujia glimpsed at Hao Ren as they got out of the Academic Building.

“I am going to the High School Department to visit some teachers. Are you coming with me, or do you want to take a walk around campus?” she asked.

“I’ll take a walk and take you back later,” Hao Ren said.

“Alright, I’ll treat you to dinner,” Xie Yujia laughed happily.

She walked past the small bridge over the lake and headed toward the Academic Building of the High School Department.

Looking at her, Hao Ren could imagine how youthful and energetic Xie Yujia was during her middle school years.

He thought to himself, “If there were a girl like her in my class, I would probably like her as well.”

On the sports field nearby, three classes were having PE. The boys were running while the girls chatted on the railings beside the sports field. It was almost identical to what happened when Hao Ren was in middle school.

He found a step to sit on and silently cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll as he watched the mid-schoolers running on the sports field.

One can put natural treasures in the space in the necklace but not the invisible Nature Essence. Hao Ren wanted to store some Natural Essence in the necklace so that he could make use of it to accelerate his cultivation speed, but it seemed like it wouldn’t work that way.

According to test results given to him by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, Hao Ren especially emphasized the absorption of metal and wood elements. Su Han’s Golden Pearl could assist him with the metal elements, but he needed to rely on his own efforts to absorb wood elements.

Although the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could convert different elements, there had to be a profound foundation. The thin elements inside Hao Ren’s body couldn’t be converted efficiently. It would be better just to absorb them from nature.

The Nature Essence circulated inside Hao Ren’s body according to the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll seven times until it further stabilized the second opening in the Dragon Core.

Soon, the students gathered together on the sports field. The bell rang, and the students were dismissed. The Academic Building behind Hao Ren suddenly got noisy as well.

The students got out of their classrooms and walked around on the balconies and staircases.

Hao Ren wanted to go see Zhao Yanzi, but he didn’t want to cause her any trouble. Therefore, he stood up and started to walk around campus.

“Uncle!” Zhao Yanzi called him from behind all of a sudden.

Hao Ren turned back and saw her running out of the Academic Building in her blue school uniform.

Hao Ren stood still until she ran in front of him. Ling, Zhao Yanzi’s good friend from school, followed.

[Eighth Grade, Class Two, Zhao Yanzi]. A name tag was pinned under the school badge on Zhao Yanzi’s uniform.

“What… Are you doing here?” she asked, panting a little.

“I’m here to see you,” Hao Ren said.

“Where is she?” Zhao Yanzi asked aggressively.

Hao Ren knew she was asking about Xie Yujia. He shook his head and said, “She should be in the High School Department.”

“Humph, you are here with her, right?” She lifted her head and stared at Hao Ren angrily.

“Ok, ok, ok. Whatever you say.” Hao Ren didn’t bother arguing with her since he was in her school after all.

Zhao Yanzi got even madder at Hao Ren’s attitude.

“You were in the office just to see me in embarrassment, weren’t you?”

“I’m neither a student of your school or your teachers’ acquaintance. What was I supposed to say?” Hao Ren asked as he thought, “It might be my fault that you have to cheat on your homework, but it was definitely your fault for getting caught.”

“When are you going back?” Zhao Yanzi’s tone warmed up a little.

“Maybe… In a little while,” Hao Ren answered.

“Wait for me by the school gate when school is over,” she said.

Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds before he nodded.

Ling stood beside Zhao Yanzi and examined Hao Ren as they spoke. She felt like something was different about this “uncle” from the first time she saw him.

“Zi! Your boyfriend is here to see you again?” A few girls ran over and shouted beside them.

Zhao Yanzi bit her lips and smiled happily. She turned around to hit them lightly without explaining. The girls laughed louder as they ran away.

Hao Ren looked around and realized that students on the balcony were all leaning on to the railings and looking at him and Zhao Yanzi.

A bunch of mid-schoolers was observing them as they spoke by the Academic Building…

Zhao Yanzi was a popular girl whose name was even brought up regularly in the High School Department. A gossip like ‘Her boyfriend from another school came to find her’ would undoubtedly quickly spread through the entire Middle School Department.

“Zhao Yanzi, Kiss!” the girls who ran away circled back and shouted together. They had obviously planned this.

“Zhao Yanzi, Kiss!” some guys on the second-floor balcony shouted as well.

“Kiss! Kiss!” The other guys followed their lead.

Zhao Yanzi blushed as she knocked on Hao Ren’s shoulder. “Don’t come to find me at school again.”

“Zhao Yanzi, Kiss! Zhao Yanzi, Kiss!” The yells turned into a chant from the balcony.

“These students are so gossipy.” Hao Ren knew that this would for sure lure the teachers out of their offices, so he got ready to leave.

At this time, Zhao Yanzi suddenly stepped forward and said in the quietest voice possible, “A hug should be fine.”

“Um?” Hao Ren thought he heard her wrong amongst all the yelling from the students.

“Stupid!” she knocked on Hao Ren’s chest and stepped half a step forward into Hao Ren’s arms.

“Oh…Oh…Oh…” all the students kicked up a fuss immediately.

Hao Ren’s face was blushing down to the neck…

This was the first time he hugged a girl in public.

“What are you yelling at?” A skinny teacher dashed out of his office.

Hao Ren suddenly turned and ran away after seeing how the situation had changed. Since he was on Kan-level, he could run as fast as if he was flying. He disappeared into the trees’ shads in no time.

Zhao Yanzi touched her hot cheeks and said to Ling as she lifted her head, “Come on! I’ll buy you bubble tea at the school corner store!”

The two of them walked away under everyone’s stare. The ‘celebrity’ of the school finally stirred up a tornado.

The male students all remembered Hao Ren as the guy who had Zhao Yanzi, who wouldn’t agree to go out with anyone, in his arms.
