“Ask Xie Yujia to come with you after class. That’s all.” Su Han disconnected their communication.
Touching the token at his waist, Hao Ren knew he could call Su Han any time but didn’t dare to interrupt her cultivation.
“There are three ways to control the DC motor speed, which are connecting the armature circuit with resistance in series, changing the armature voltage and weakening the magnetic flux…”
The teacher was still talking on the platform.
He turned his head and found Xie Yujia writing her notes in great detail. These notes would be the greatest help to them on their final exams.
Didi… Hao Ren got a text message on his cell phone.
He clicked it open and saw it was from Zhou Liren, “Please make a copy of Xie Yujia’s notes for your buddies in miseries.”
Hao Ren looked back at Zhou Liren who was smiling flatteringly at him with his hands in a praying gesture.
Hao Ren looked at him in ‘disgust’ and turned back to the lesson.
Didi… He got another text message.
“You are coming to tutor me tonight, right?” It was from Zhao Yanzi.
Hao Ren exited the message app and logged into his QQ account on his cell phone. Sure enough, Zhao Yanzi was online.
“The final exams are near. You must focus on reviewing in class!” Hao Ren typed.
“The teachers are boring. You teach better than they do,” Zhao Yanzi replied immediately.
“I’m busy tonight and can’t go to your place,” Hao Ren replied.
“What! You don’t dare!” Zhao Yanzi got frustrated by his message.
Picturing Zhao Yanzi pouting in her classroom, Hao Ren couldn’t help smiling while he typed his answer, “Don’t go up to the Fifth Heaven these few days and focus on reviewing. I’ll go over tonight.”
“Humph! Humph! Humph! Humph!” Zhao Yanzi typed four humphs and nothing else.
Hao Ren turned his head and looked out of the window at the misty campus in the drizzle.
“Zhao Yanzi must be seeing a similar scene in her school while she is sitting in her classroom with her mind wandering,” Hao Ren thought.
Ding… The bell rang, signaling the end of the class.
Xie Yujia returned the notes to Ma Lina, and she would copy them again back in her dorm. She was the most diligent student in the class as well as the best student.
Even when she had to spend energy to manage class affairs, she received scholarships each term.
“Big brother! Big brother!” Zhou Liren dragged Huang Jianfeng and others to Hao Ren’s side. “Ugh… Can we borrow notes from our sister-in-law?”
Now that Xie Yujia was Hao Ren’s girlfriend, they thought they were close to her as Hao Ren’s buddies. Since they received no reply from Hao Ren, they came to beg in person.
Although she still had some authority over them as the former class president, Xie Yujia blushed slightly when she heard them call her ‘sister-in-law’ in the front of the whole class.
“Sis…” Before Zhou Liren could finish, Xie Yujia hurriedly packed up and said, “Go get them from Ma Lina. All my notes are on my bookshelf.”
“Thanks a lot, sister-in-law!” Zhou Liren turned to Ma Lina happily.
Ma Lina snorted lightly. “Follow me!”
“Ok! Thank you, big sister!” Zhou Liren followed Ma Lina closely. After all, he and his buddies had failed several courses last year. If they continued like this, they would be finished!
What a bonus to be buddies with Hao Ren!
After Zhou Liren left, Xie Yujia turned her head back with pinkness still on her face. “I’ll go to the library and borrow some books.”
“I’ll go with you,” Hao Ren said as he looked at the drizzle outside
Xie Yujia had left her bicycle at her dorm building and had to walk to the library. In the drizzle, the air in the school was exceptionally fresh, and the students who were passing them added energy to the campus.
Xie Yujia lifted her slim white arm and placed her palm above her forehead to block the fine drizzle.
With her white skin, slim fingers, and perfect arm shape, she looked even more beautiful than those artistic statues made with great efforts.
The male students who were on their way to class all kept glancing at Xie Yujia.
“That guy is Hao Ren, right? His girlfriend Xie Yujia is really beautiful…”
The whispered gossips entered Hao Ren’s ears.
“Let’s go.” Hao Ren held onto Xie Yujia’s hand and quickened his steps.
Surprised, Xie Yujia’s eyes opened more, and she immediately quickened her steps to match Hao Ren’s.
The fine drizzle left moisture on her arms, and her skin felt cool. When Hao Ren held her hand and silently injected a trace of fire-elemental nature essence into her body, she suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
Xie Yujia’s Life-Death Notes could absorb nature essence from the surroundings. At this moment, her heart felt warm along with her body.
Wearing a short-sleeved denim shirt and a fluttering plaid skirt, her long and slim legs attracted the male students’ attention.
Although she was wearing a pair of flat canvas shoes instead of high heels, her figure was more eye-catching than those girls who spent lots of time on their make-up and outfits.
The guys who kept looking back at Xie Yujia with longing suddenly stumbled forward into the academic buildings as a gust of wind blew at them.
“Su Han asked us to go to her office. I didn’t mention it in the classroom with all the classmates near us,” Hao Ren said.
“Ok…” Xie Yujia nodded and forgot that she planned to go to the library.
Holding Xie Yujia’s hand, Hao Ren jumped over the puddles steadily while they walked toward the administration building which was beside the library.
In her canvas shoes, Xie Yujia jumped agilely between the puddles while holding tightly onto Hao Ren.
“This is enough for me,” Xie Yujia told herself silently.
Hao Ren didn’t release Xie Yujia’s slim and soft hand until they stepped onto the steps of the administration building where the teachers worked in, and he brushed the raindrops from his jacket.
Xie Yujia lowered her head to tidy up her hair and followed Hao Ren up to the third floor.
Hao Ren was familiar with the way and walked directly to Su Han’s office door.
“Come in!”
Sensing Hao Ren’s arrival, Su Han said before Hao Ren knocked on the door.
Hao Ren pushed open the door while Xie Yujia stood by his side nervously.
“Ms. Su…” Xie Yujia saw Su Han and greeted her cautiously.
Although she had seen Su Han several times outside of the school and even watched the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival yesterday with her, Xie Yujia was still nervous when she saw this iceberg-like, beautiful teacher in the school.
“Come in,” Su Han said calmly.
Hao Ren walked in, and Xie Yujia followed him immediately.
“I’ll go to the Kunlun Mountain with you,” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and said.
“Kunlun?” Hao Ren was baffled.
“Yeah.” Su Han nodded. “I went to the Dragon God Shrine and looked up the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus. It turned out that it came from Kunlun. We may find another lotus there.”
Hao Ren suddenly understood that Su Han meant to look for another Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus in Kunlun and realized that she left yesterday to look up the origin of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus in the Dragon God Shrine.
Su Han did things in her own way. However, Hao Ren didn’t expect Su Han, who spent each second on cultivation and never minded other people’s business, would help him find information about the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus without being asked.
At this thought, Hao Ren looked at the cold-faced Su Han and felt a bit touched.
“Don’t be grateful. Helping you is helping myself. After all, the elevation in your realm is beneficial to me,” seeing the appreciation on Hao Ren’s face, Su Han said coldly.
Her words dampened Hao Ren’s spirits like a basin of cold water.
“Ugh… What do you know about the Kunlun Mountain?” Hao Ren immediately adjusted his mood and asked.
“The Kunlun Mountain is the last territory that human cultivators have on First Heaven and a forbidden place for dragon cultivators. It’s equivalent to the holy place of our dragon cultivators, the Nine Dragon Palace, which is located on Fifth Heaven,” Su Han said.
It was Xie Yujia’s first time to hear about this, and she listened carefully since it concerned Hao Ren’s future.
Hao Ren vaguely remembered that when Su Han passed by the Kunlun Mountain on her way to the Sky Mountain in the northwest region, she was stopped by some cultivators and was let go due to her identity as an inspector.
He didn’t know that the Kunlun Mountain was the last territory of the human cultivators on land instead of the territory of the dragon cultivators.
“What kind of cultivators are in the Kunlun Mountain?” Hao Ren asked.
“I don’t know the specifics, but it’s said that some Soul Formation Realm cultivators reside there. If you want to look for the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus, I’ll take the risk and go with you.” Su Han’s expression was calm while her tone was mild.
“Soul Formation Realm cultivator…” Hao Ren thought of the old Grandma who sent Zhao Kuo, a master, flying. Although Su Han was at top-tier Qian-level, she was no match for a God Transformation Realm cultivator. “I’ll go with you,” Xie Yujia said suddenly.
Hao Ren who had been in deep thought, turned his gaze toward Xie Yujia while Su Han looked toward Xie Yujia’s shoulder.
“Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus… Kunlun Mountain…” Hao Ren was quite tempted. After all, compared with the three lotus seeds that required careful nurturing, it would be quite convenient if they could find a mature Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.
However, there were three risks. Firstly, there might not be more Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses. Secondly, the grandmasters on the Soul Formation Realm had unpredictable moods. Thirdly, Kunlun was the origin of the human cultivation sects, and the dragon cultivators were not allowed to enter.
“Forget it; let’s not take risks.” After some consideration, Hao Ren decided against the idea.
Just like how the Nine Dragons Palace didn’t welcome trespassing human cultivators, the Kunlun Mountain didn’t welcome dragon cultivators. Although Su Han’s cultivation strength was equivalent to a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, she couldn’t afford to mess with a Soul Formation Realm cultivator.
“If you say so, we’ll postpone it.” Su Han exhaled lightly and looked at Xie Yujia. “Do you have any more Beauty Pills?”
“Yeah, I have some.” Xie Yujia immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her bracelet.
Su Han took it and found three pills in it. With a big smile, she said. “Just give me two pills.”
“It’s ok; take them all!” Xie Yujia said without hesitation.
With her current elixir making skills, it wasn’t hard for her to make Beauty Pills as long as she got all the necessary materials.
“Ok!” Su Han didn’t reject it. Putting the small porcelain bottle into her bracelet, she said in satisfaction, “I won’t take your pills for nothing. How about this? I’ll tutor your cultivation before you reach the Core Formation Realm?”
Su Han’s realm was equivalent to top-tier Nascent Soul Realm. Although she didn’t know anything about the Essence Cultivation Scroll, her experience could still benefit Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia had been probing along all by herself in cultivation and was happy to get mentored by Su Han, a cultivation maniac.
“Then… How about me?” Hao Ren immediately leaned over and asked.
Su Han’s face turned cold instantly. “Get out. I am about to tutor Yujia with her cultivation.”
“Ugh…” Hao Ren lowered his head in powerlessness, and he was pushed out of the door by a huge force pressing on his chest.
