Hao Ren had this thought in his mind.

As the Western Sea launched a large-scale counterattack, Zeng Yitao, as a pawn, was sent back to Lingzhao High School "What are you thinking about" Yue Yang asked Hao Ren from the rearview mirror.

"Nothing," Hao Ren replied while looking at the Phantom car lingering outside Lingzhao High School through the car's side mirrors.

Given the current public opinion climate, even if Zeng Yitao caused a ruckus in Donghai City, which was under the jurisdiction of Dragon Palace of Eastern Sea,

The Dragon Palace of Eastern Sea would still have to endure it.

Any action would solidify their guilt of "oppressing kin."

Zeng Yitao's old man is holding on tight, Hao Ren thought.

"Amethyst is still in junior high and might occasionally act like a child. Since you're older than her, take care of her when necessary and yield to her if needed," Yue Yang said.

"Mm-hmm," Hao Ren nodded. What he was thinking about was far more profound than what Yue Yang had just mentioned.

Zhao Guang probably put Zhao Yanzǐ under house arrest knowing that Zeng Yitao would return to Lingzhao High School, wanting to observe how the situation changes.

"Yu Jia has a gentle personality, but she's actually very ambitious," Yue Yang continued.

"Mom, why bring this up suddenly" Hao Ren asked as he snapped out of his thoughts about Dragon Palace of Eastern Sea.

"Amethyst is a thoughtful young girl. She may be lazy to some extent but doesn't have any other ulterior motives," Yue Yang said. "Yu Jia should have her own aspirations."

"Mm-hmm, Yu Jia studies well and does very well academically. She also has her own thoughts," Hao Ren nodded.

In comparison, Zhao Yanzǐ was like a little girl who would grow up to be a small woman in the future. She had no grand ambitions, just wanting to live happily every day.

Hao Ren didn't voice these thoughts.

"Your mother only hopes for you to lead an ordinary and peaceful life," Yue Yang said with some感慨 (sigh). "You and your father have been too hardworking and spent little time together. Now I think, a simpler life might be better."

"Mm-hmm," Hao Ren smiled bitterly.

He could sense his mother's concern stemmed from Yu Jia being too excellent and having her own ambitions, which would likely make it hard to keep up with her in the future.

Hao Ren also believes that if Xie Yujia had not stepped into the path of cultivation, she would have entered a Fortune Global 500 company and become a successful white-collar worker, eventually climbing to management levels or even developing in America. With Hao Ren’s achievements, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with her.

However, no matter how many times the word "ordinary" was used, it couldn't fit his current state anymore.

On the verge of breaking through to Geng grade and reaching a realm equivalent to the late Formation Core stage, he frequently traveled between the Fifth Heaven and First Heaven layers. He also had to face the Imperial Dragon Hall’s examination and be the nominal son-in-law of one of the largest Dragon Clan factions, the East Sea Dragon Palace. Despite Hao Ren appearing to live aimlessly every day, he was actually extremely busy now. "What I mean is that you will walk your own path in the future," Mrs. Hao had clearly expressed her intention.

Regardless of what happens, Mom still supports your decisions.

Yue Yang slowly parked right at Donghai University's main entrance and turned to look at Hao Ren as he said this.

Hao Ren felt a slight sense of warmth in his heart. He smiled and opened the car door, "Mom, drive safely!"

"Okay!" Yue Yang turned the steering wheel slowly to reverse.

The sunlight was just right, making Hao Ren feel an overwhelming sense of clarity. Yes.

No matter which path he chooses,

his parents would silently support him.

Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had never placed too high expectations on Hao Ren; they only wished for him to live a normal, safe life. For anything else, they would strive to give Hao Ren the best opportunities possible.

However, Hao Ren didn’t want to live under the shadow of his parents’ achievements, so he worked hard and gradually entered key universities. Now, with his Geng grade strength close at hand, he could protect his family and those around him.

The path he chose was both a cultivation path and one filled with silent battles.

After the incident of the West Sea Dragon Palace, Hao Ren deeply understood that leniency towards intruders meant harm to their own side!

Clap, clap, clap— "Hao Ren, renowned scientist, son of Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang," Qin Shaoyang said, clapping as he walked out from a nearby path.

Dressed in light gray windbreaker with black military boots, he looked stylish and imposing.

"I ignored you before and didn’t investigate your background, but now I see that even your secular identity is quite impressive," Qin Shaoyang said as he approached Hao Ren step by step.

Hao Ren stared at him intently, opening one acupoint after another! His powerful aura radiated outward.

Rustle rustle— several birds in the surrounding trees flew away.

"Oh wow, you’ve reached Zhen grade That’s impressive!"

Qin Shaoyang pretended to be surprised as he said this.

Hao Ren didn’t expect Qin Shaoyang to be nearby and certainly hadn’t noticed him. The difference in strength between Kun grade and Zhen grade was like the difference between standing on a mountain top versus its base.

Previously at Zhao Yanzi’s birthday gathering, Hao Ren had defeated him; this grudge still lingered with Qin Shaoyang.

"I warn you— don’t lay a finger on my family!"

Hao Ren's aura intensified further.

Electricity flashed in his eyes, though it wasn't substantial enough to harm Qin Shaoyang. It still stunned him for a moment.

Lightning shattered the Five Elements; Hao Ren’s presence naturally overshadowed those who cultivated them.

However, Qin Shaoyang was still at the Kun level, and he immediately suppressed his aura again. He took a step forward and looked at Hao Ren with a light yet imposing gaze, "Don't forget that I am an official inspector. What about you" A cold breeze suddenly blew up around them, causing the leaves beside the road to roll around.

It seemed like natural wind, but in fact, it was Qin Shaoyang's Golden Gushing Wind! Hao Ren felt as if his skin exposed outside of his clothes was being cut by a knife.

Qin Shaoyang took another step forward.

Bending slightly and leaning towards Hao Ren’s ear, he said, "Don't forget. Inspectors can take action against mortals."

Peng! Hao Ren's whole body trembled.

Qin Shaoyang's words were undoubtedly a threat! With the inspector's intelligence network, it was naturally very easy to find out Hao Ren's family situation. However, an inspector had privileges different from other Dragon cultivators; they could take action against mortals! Xie Yujia had a mark left by a Transcendent Spirit old lady on her shoulder, and even high-level inspectors from the Divine Dragon Temple dared not touch a single hair of hers, but Hao Ren's parents were different. Even if they were renowned scientists overseas, in the eyes of an inspector, they were just ordinary mortals! Peng! Hao Ren stepped out with his right foot, and his right hand quickly hit Qin Shaoyang’s abdomen with tremendous force! The third basic boxing move - Ferocious Tiger Emerges from the Cave! Hao Ren didn't use any spiritual energy; Qin Shaoyang hadn’t even reacted when he got punched solidly on the stomach.

"Damn it."

Qin Shaoyang caught Hao Ren's right hand with his left and injected spiritual energy into it abruptly. Kun-level cultivators' sudden release of spiritual energy, Daren could not withstand; he felt a surge in his chest and stepped back five or six paces quickly before suddenly feeling support on his back.

"Dean Qin, you came very early today,"

Lu Qing's voice suddenly sounded out.

Hao Ren turned around to see Lu Qing’s right hand supporting his back with a warm smile on his face. "Hao Ren, let me introduce you; this is our Fine Arts College's Deputy Dean and the famous painter, Qin Shaoyang." Lu Qing slowly retracted his right hand and said to Hao Ren.

Hmph.

Qin Shaoyang coldly threw a white eye at him and walked towards the Fine Arts College building. With his Kun level strength, he was actually not careful enough to be hit by Hao Ren's mundane boxing move; this was undoubtedly shameful. At this moment, with Lu Qing supporting him, Qin Shaoyang’s status in the school was only that of a new Deputy Dean.

Unable to argue with Lu Qing, he swept his sleeves and left.

"Why is he the deputy dean"

Hao Ren forcefully suppressed the surging qi and blood and asked Lu Qing.

"Qin Shaoyang's transfer to Donghai City represents the Divine Dragon Temple's wishes, so we can only cooperate with him," said Lu Qing somewhat helplessly. Hao Ren thought it was good that Qin Shaoyang was the Fine Arts College’s Deputy Dean; he wouldn't have much contact with him. However, The few words about inspectors being able to take action against mortals that Qin Shaoyang had spoken made him very uneasy.

For Dragon cultivators who could live for a thousand years or more,

Mortals were like ants.

This concept was very common. The Divine Dragon Temple set some rules to maintain stability at this level but did not limit its own inspectors in their system much. Su Han joined the Divine Dragon Temple to pursue higher realms and greater power, while Qin Shaoyang joined for reasons of his own.

wishes to shed all restrictions and act freely in this world.

Zheng! Hao Ren clenched his fist tightly.

The air in the palm of his hand almost burst from the pressure.

If I become a formal censor, Qian Shaoyang would still have some reservations. But if I reach the Gān level, Qian Shaoyang wouldn’t dare to be so reckless!

Just like how Qian Shaoyang, as a censor, dares not say anything in front of Zhao Yanzi’s uncle.

"Currently, you are still an assistant censor," he said. "He won't dare treat you badly. If there are any issues, come to me, Lu Qing."

His words were spoken with a lack of confidence. Now that Qin Shaoyang has arrived in Donghai City and Zeng Yitao is also here, coupled with the joint efforts of Xihai Longgong, Nanhai Longgong, and Beihai Longgong using commercial tactics to strike against Tomorrow Group, this indeed puts a lot of pressure on Donghai City.

It must be admitted that Old Zeng’s methods are more cunning than Zhao Guang's.

"Alright!" Hao Ren headed towards the dormitory area. The desire to become stronger in his heart grew even more intense. In such circumstances, it is difficult for Donghai City to protect him, and they have already sent Zhao Yanzi to relatively safe Xihai Longgong. If I lose my status as an assistant censor...

Thump! A surrounding tree suddenly suffered a hit from intangible sword qi; leaves fell down with rustling sounds.

Day by day passed, and Hao Ren went to the fifth level of heaven every day for cultivation. In three days, he opened another acupoint and reached the Gān aperture realm.

The Sword Array Technique of his Fēngguāng Jian Ying Decision was practiced daily in a valley; as more acupoints were opened, its power became stronger and stronger.

Every evening, he would go to Xihai Longgong as usual to tutor Zhao Yanzi on her lessons. Having reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhao Yanzi was happy and didn’t know about the pressure currently faced by Donghai Longgong; she ate when hungry, slept when tired.

Hao Ren did not want to explain these matters to her; he wanted her to focus solely on reviewing her lessons and solidifying her Foundation Establishment realm. One day later... at Tomorrow Group's headquarters in Donghai City, all the employees stood respectfully at the entrance.
