Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Lu Qi looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Xu Ke, and one whom he planned to keep an eye on.

Looking back and seeing Xu Ke behind him, Hao Ren broke into a cold sweat; he hadn’t sensed a trace of Xu Ke’s aura and didn’t know that the latter was in the crowd behind him.

If they were in the wilderness, Xu Ke could have hidden and killed Hao Ren with one strike.

“I’m heading back.” Zhao Yanzi tugged at Hao Ren’s hand.

“Should I walk you back?” Hao Ren asked her.

“I can go by myself; it’s not like I don’t know the way.” Zhao Yanzi curled her lips, feeling a bit sulky since she still had a mock exam this afternoon.

“I’ll take you back with my bicycle,” Xie Yujia said immediately with her hands on the handles of her bicycle.

From the talk this morning, she knew that Xu Ke was a tough guy, so she tried to take Zhao Yanzi away as soon as possible. This way, Hao Ren could stay here to deal with this guy without the involvement of Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi glanced at Xie Yujia and nodded. “Ok.”

She didn’t know what the problem was with this Xu Ke, but Xie Yujia’s offer would save her the efforts of walking.

Seeing them riding toward the direction of the school gate on one bicycle, Hao Ren touched his forehead, wondering since when the two girls had gotten along so well.

Wu Luoxue checked the time and walked toward the main gate of East Ocean University slowly. Zhen Congming had no sense of time and didn’t work hard, but she wanted to go back to school for the afternoon classes on time.

Seeing Wu Luoxue walking away slowly, Zhen Congming hurried after her.

Walking slowly through the university campus, Wu Luoxue attracted many people’s attention. She was as cute as a doll in the university students’ mind.

“Hm.” Hao Ren looked at them and suddenly wondered what Lady Zhen thought about Wu Luoxue, the girlfriend her son chose by himself. After all, since Lady Zhen was that powerful, she must have known about Zhen Congming’s pursuit of Wu Luoxue…

“Little Liu, test this student’s skills,” Lu Qi said to a member of the Go Club.

Xu Ke had issued a challenge to the Go Club as the retaliation for Lu Qi sending people after him. However, Lu Qi wasn’t afraid of this challenge.

At Dui-level, Lu Qi’s dharma treasure that looked like a chess board was quite powerful, and he was one of the masters among the young generation of cultivators in East Ocean University.

“Ok.” Xu Ke walked over with a smile and placed a piece on the chess board.

The member who was responsible for recruiting new members thought for a moment and came to play with Xu Ke.

Hao Ren was surprised that the athletic Xu Ke could also play chess, wondering if the training program at the metal-elemental dragon clan also included chess skills.

According to Yue Zilong, the metal-elemental dragon clan was famous for its devilish cultivation program. The cultivators below Kun-level weren’t even called “cultivators” and were quite disposable.

Under such a culture, all metal-elemental dragons must be cultivation maniacs like Su Han…

Lu Qi watched for a while and found that Xu Ke was placing chess pieces on the board randomly.

Slap!

Xu Ke placed another chess piece.

The member who was playing chess with Xu Ke thought Xu Ke’s chess strategy was messy as if he didn’t know how to play at all. However, after the shock brought to him by Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue, he didn’t dare to lower his guards.

Cautiously, he put down another piece.

Crack… The smooth chessboard suddenly shattered.

Just withdrawing his right hand, this member was so shocked that sweat appeared on his forehead.

This was Lu Qi’s favorite Nanzhu Chessboard and one of his collections. He had brought it for this special occasion of member recruitment, but now it was shattered!

“President…” This member looked at Lu Qi fearfully, afraid that Lu Qi would get mad.

To his surprise, Lu Qi didn’t look at him. Instead, Lu Qi turned to glare at Xu Ke with gritted teeth. Although his strength was inferior to Hao Ren’s, he was one of the elites among the young generation, especially in the fire-elemental dragon clan. Since his dharma treasure was a Go chessboard, he harbored a special feeling for chessboards in general and liked playing Go.

Obviously, Xu Ke’s act was his counterattack against Lu Qi’s secret investigation on him.

“Senior, I’m sorry! It seems like I have damaged the chessboard.” Seeing Xu Ke’s glare, Xu Ke said nervously.

He drew out several hundred yuan from his wallet and said, “I must pay for it. How much is it? 300 or 400?”

He looked and sounded so sincere that the watching students thought this first-year student was indeed well-manner. After all, it wasn’t him who was the last to touch the chessboard.

Despite Lu Qi’s great power, it didn’t reflect well on him if he bullied a freshman.

Lu Qi gritted his teeth, knowing that the surrounding students had no idea that the chessboard had cost him more than 50,000 yuan. It was an antique, not something that could be bought for a few hundred yuan.

Also, these collectibles were hard to be valued with money. The ordinary students wouldn’t understand Lu Qi’s heartache and anger. Only the members of the Go Club could understand.

“It’s ok. Forget it,” Lu Qi said with squinted eyes.

Cultivators were not supposed to care too much for external things. Despite his love for the chessboard, it was not a dharma treasure and thus was not a real loss to him.

Xu Ke’s act showed his hostility toward Lu Qi. It was very simple for the dragon cultivators to solve their disagreements and that was to fight each other fiercely in a remote corner inside a red energy sphere.

“Senior, I’m really sorry.” Xu Ke still put 200 yuan upon the shattered chessboard and hurried toward the Academic Building.

The surrounding students were all silently exclaiming about this student’s sincerity.

However, Hao Ren knew it as a blow Xu Ke gave to Lu Qi, and the real purpose was to warn him.

“Tonight, I’ll ask Xu Ke out for a fight.” Hao Ren thought for a moment. “Please arrange a place for me.”

“Really?” Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren in surprise.

Due to the small number of metal-elemental dragons, most dragon cultivators had never challenged them before. That was why Lu Qi was surprised at Hao Ren’s request to fight Xu Ke.

However, he knew Hao Ren was serious from the determination on his face. “How about the sports field? I’ll build a basic array formation there.”

“That’s settled then.” Hao Ren turned to pick up the broken chessboard and felt the wood patterns in the chessboard while injecting threads of pure wood-elemental nature essence into them.

Beside the desk of the Go Club, there was a black case for storing the chessboard.

Careful with this chessboard Lu Qi usually stored it in the case and rarely took it out for use. Today, he had meant to air it under the sun while showing it to the members of the Go Club, not expecting that Xu Ke would damage it.

“Take the chessboard and put it away.” Placing the chessboard into the black case, Hao Ren handed it to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi opened the case and found the shattered chessboard back in its original state!

Hao Ren’s control of power was silent but very impressive! Wood-elemental cultivators excelled in repairing damaged dharma treasures and nurturing cultivators’ meridians.

“However, Hao Ren, a water-elemental cultivator, had repaired the chessboard with ease! His skills are probably even greater than wood-elemental cultivators since it is a challenge to control the nature essence that much and have that level of sharp spiritual senses. However, with only one touch, Hao Ren had reconnected the thousands of fibers inside the chessboard! Powerful! So powerful!”

Lu Qi thought Hao Ren was even more powerful than when he was in the Dragon God Shrine’s general exams!

He had been worried that Hao Ren would be at a disadvantage in the battle with a metal-elemental cultivator, but now he was quite expectant of it! He wondered if the metal-elemental dragon clan was as powerful as the legends said, and he hoped that Hao Ren could win!

Hao Ren crossed Lu Qi’s Go Club’s booth and move to the Green Hill Café.

Due to yesterday’s sudden storm, many clubs had ended their recruitment earlier than planned. Today, with the beautiful weather, each club put up their booth again.

Seeing Hao Ren walked over, they all felt pressured.

Within half a day, he had become the awesome President of a major club with 500 members, and he had collected membership fees of 250,000 yuan!

Glancing around at the clubs, Hao Ren walked directly toward the Rock-Climbing Club which occupied the biggest space.

Seeing Hao Ren’s approach, Huang Xujie immediately stood up, all smiles.

The arrogant members of the Rock-Climbing Club all looked deferential when they saw Hao Ren walked toward their booth.

“How’s the investigation on Xu Ke?” Hao Ren asked Huang Xujie.

“I checked! This fellow was a student of Class Four of City North First High School with good academic performance and one member of the long-distance race team of the school, but he didn’t attend junior middle school in East Ocean City. His dorm address is Room 507 of South 8 Building and home address is Lane 269 on Guangyin Road of West City District…” Huang Xujie took out a slip of paper from his pocket and read out the information on it.

Hao Ren glanced at him and knew he must have got the information from his sources at the police station. However, it was useful to have Xu Ke’s home address. Without waiting for Huang Xujie to finish, he took the paper from his hands and glanced at it before slipping it into his wallet.

“I was about to call you, but there is some information missing. However, we know he must be living alone here, and his parents are not in East Ocean City.” Huang Xujie watched Hao Ren’s expression. “Did he offend you, Brother Hao? Do you want me to call some guys and give him a lesson?”

“It’s not your business. Don’t get involved.” Hao Ren glanced at him.

After obtaining Xu Ke’s information in the mortal world through Huang Xujie, Hao Ren didn’t want to have more dealings with him.

“Yes! Yes! You’re right, Brother Hao.” Huang Xujie nodded.

In fact, he had considered cornering the freshman Xu Ke and interrogating him with some buddies from the Rock-Climbing Club. However, his intuition told him that the shiny-looking Xu Ke was not an ordinary guy.

Ruff… Little White jumped up from the grass behind the cafeteria onto the desk in front of Huang Xujie and spurt out a white stream of liquid with a lift of its rump.

Little White’s urine ruined the book with names of the dozen or so new members that Huang Xujie had recruited with great effort…
