On the left side of Qin Shaoyang's ear, there was a three-centimeter-long scar. However, under the disguise of his long hair, this scar wasn't very noticeable.

"Mr. Qin..." Upon seeing Qin Shaoyang appear, the mayor immediately went forward to greet him.

If Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang represented the top figures in the scientific community in Donghai City, then Qin Shaoyang was undoubtedly the leading figure in the art scene of Donghai City.

To develop a city's image, it naturally required several key leaders. Given Qin Shaoyang's fame in the art world, he would definitely be someone for whom the mayor had to personally extend a welcome.

Qin Shaoyang gave a rather handsome smile and shook hands with the mayor. However, such a smile caused his wound to feel somewhat painful.

"This Qin Shaoyang recently seems to have become your art academy's vice president" Hao Zhonghua asked Hao Ren.

“Yeah, dad, do you know him” Hao Ren asked.

“Not very well. I've met him a few times in other occasions. Once when your mom and I were receiving an award overseas, he happened to be one of the guests,” Hao Zhonghua said.

“You don't need to get too close with him.” Hao Ren hurriedly advised.

Given Hao Zhonghua's position, it was certain that he would come into contact with a person like Qin Shaoyang. Conversely, Qin Shaoyang could also find some way to get in touch with Hao Zhonghua.

The thing Hao Ren worried about most at present was Qin Shaoyang approaching his family!

But he had the resolve that if Qin Shaoyang dared to harm any of his family members, even if it meant going against the Dragon God Temple behind him, he would kill Qin Shaoyang.

"This man is highly talented but after all, we belong to different circles," Hao Zhonghua said with a smile. He had some friends in the art world overseas too, but there was no intention of getting acquainted with this Qin Shaoyang.

“I went to one of his exhibitions before; I remember several oil paintings quite well,” Yue Yang mentioned.

"Sis Yue also likes to look at paintings" Zhao Hongyu picked up a glass of red wine that passed by and asked with a smile.

"Sometimes, when friends give me tickets, I just casually go see them. Should Red Jade be more concerned about art-related things" Yue Yang tilted her head slightly and asked in an easy manner.

Ever since Yue Yang had stayed in Donghai City, the relationship between these two mothers was becoming increasingly close, with a sense of regret that they hadn't met earlier.

The more they talked, the happier they got. Hao Zhonghua and Zhao Guang took advantage to discuss some progress in their business.

Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren exchanged glances; Zhao Yanzi then pursed her little mouth and harrumphed.

She hurriedly moved her legs, running towards the central fruit area to pick the freshest strawberries.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhao, the big boss of Mingri Group!" Qin Shaoyang greeted Zhao Guang while laughing as he walked over after chatting with the mayor at the door.

Zhao Guang was a well-known figure in Donghai City, and Qin Shaoyang could also be considered someone with some standing. Moreover, given that Qin Shaoyang's status as an examiner meant that Zhao Guang couldn't afford to publicly clash with him, so he pretended to extend his hand warmly, "Mr. Qin, long admired!"

"Mr. Zhao's business is booming; this time, I haven't had the chance to visit you upon arriving in Donghai City!" Qin Shaoyang extended his hand towards Zhao Guang's right hand, appearing very sincere.

"Ah, so these must be the famous Mr. Hao and Lady Yue!" Qin Shaoyang suddenly looked at Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang beside Zhao Guang with surprise and joy, calling out.

"Hello." Hao Zhonghua extended his hand.

Hao Ren, standing next to Hao Zhonghua, warily watched Qin Shaoyang.

If Qin Shaoyang made any hostile move against Hao Zhonghua, Hao Ren would immediately take action!

Fortunately, all that happened between Qin Shaoyang and Hao Zhonghua was a brief handshake. Nevertheless, Hao Ren's tension was instantly noticed by Qin Shaoyang.

Fzz! Hao Ren clenched his fist tightly.

Because he clearly saw a threat and arrogance in Qin Shaoyang’s eyes!

Boom… Suddenly, an immense yet sharp aura swept past Hao Ren’s side.

Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak!

The moment Qin Shaoyang released his hand from Hao Zhonghua's right hand, he abruptly took five steps back!

Swish… A crystal champagne tower ten meters away from Qin Shaoyang suddenly collapsed and shattered.

This unexpected event caused everyone in the ballroom to panic.

"It’s alright, it’s alright, just an accident!" The mayor responsible for the banquet quickly raised his hands, shouting.

With the cleaning staff entering the scene, the ballroom gradually calmed down again.

"Mr. Qin, nice to meet you," Zhao Haoran's icy yet powerful voice rang out from behind Hao Ren.

Hao Ren moved sideways and stepped back a few steps, just enough for Zhao Haoran's entire figure to be revealed.

Looking at the white-haired Zhao Haoran, an endless chill rose in Qin Shaoyang’s heart.

Just based on that displayed aura, this Zhao Haoran could kill me instantly! Relying on a reviewer’s instinct for danger, Qin Shaoyang made the right judgment immediately.

"Mr. Qin, are you alright" Hao Zhonghua asked.

"I’m fine, I'm fine… just slipped a bit," Qin Shaoyang said as he wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead with a tissue.

Originally aiming to gather intelligence about Donghai during the banquet, he ended up getting severely intimidated by Zhao Haoran!

If he were to make any rash moves in this ballroom, this old dragon king would definitely act without hesitation!

At this moment, Zhao Yanzǐ carried a plate of fresh red strawberries and bypassed the champagne puddle to approach Hao Ren.

Qin Shaoyang carefully observed Zhao Yanzǐ, almost suspecting he was seeing things... How could Zhao Yanzǐ, who no longer had her dragon pill, suddenly exude an aura of a cultivator!

And it was at the Foundation Establishment stage!

"In just a few days, from 85 meridians to 98. Not bad," Zhao Haoran said indifferently.

Qin Shaoyang looked at Zhao Yanzǐ and then turned to Hao Ren beside her, finally realizing what had happened—Hao Ren had opened his dragon pill meridians from 85 to 98 in a few days!

This terrifying rate of progress!!!

Hearing Zhao Haoran's words, Zhao Guang was also taken aback by Hao Ren.

Zhao Haoran had over a thousand years of cultivation and had reached the upper level of the Heaven grade realm; it was almost effortless for him to see through Hao Ren's cultivation situation.

When he said Hao Ren opened from 85 to 98, there was no mistake!

"What does 85 and 98 mean" Yue Yang asked Zhao Hongyu softly.

"It’s... a kind of index," Zhao Hongyu didn't know how to explain it either.

Yue Yang nodded without pressing further.

However, Qin Shaoyang suddenly understood something while standing in place.

Zhao Haoran valued Hao Ren's potential and decided to protect him! That sudden burst of aura he let out was a warning for Qin Shaoyang!

Hao Ren is one of the East Sea's people, so his family falls under the protection of the East Sea too. If anyone dares to make any moves against Hao Ren’s family, there will only be one consequence—death.

Qin Shaoyang quietly took a few steps back, awkwardly bowing, "I have some friends over there; I’ll take my leave for now."

Hurrying towards the corner of the ballroom, his steps seemed unsteady.

"This Qin Shaoyang is really annoying," Zhao Yanzǐ muttered. She placed the plate in front of Hao Ren, "Here, eat some strawberries; they’re all picked out to be sweet!"

Hao Ren smiled and reached for a toothpick from the plate to spear one of the strawberries.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanzǐ pulled her hand back, laughing, "Ha! Just kidding, I'm not giving them to you!"

She made an elegant turn and rushed to Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang's side, "Uncle, Auntie, have some strawberries!"

"Haha, Ah Zi is so obedient!" Hao Zhonghua patted Zhao Yanzǐ’s head with satisfaction.

Hao Ren held an empty toothpick in his hand, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Zhao Yanzǐ was holding strawberries to show respect to the elders. She turned left and right, her long skirt swaying like a little red butterfly. When she saw that all the strawberries in the plate were gone, she ran to the central fruit area drop by drop.

Hao Ren saw Zhao Yanzǐ more and more fondly; his eyes curved into crescents.

"Ah Ren, do you still want to come to my studio this weekend" Zhao Hongyu suddenly asked Hao Ren.

“I’m a bit busy recently...” Just as Hao Ren was about to answer, Yue Yang said, "We won’t go this weekend. We’re going to take Ah Ren and Xiao Zi outside for an outing."

Hao Zhong took in a breath but hadn’t expressed his opinion when Yue Yang had already spoken.

Yue Yang made it clear that he viewed Zhao Yanzǐ as his future bride. Hao Zhong couldn’t compete with her either.

"Speaking of which, Ah Ren hasn’t thanked you for letting him learn from your studio." Yue Yang continued.

"That doesn't matter, Ah Ren has great talent and will certainly achieve a lot in the future," Zhao Hongyu said politely.

“Little Ah Zi is also very good, she's both smart and lively…”

The two mothers complimented each other. Hao Zhong put on a bitter expression and helplessly looked at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren’s gaze drifted far away; he saw Zhao Yanzǐ devouring the fresh fruits in the fruit area like a wolf, making him break out into a cold sweat.

This little girl had only been confined for ten days in the dragon palace. She came out and acted like a starving wolf—how could she not be afraid of changing her figure "Where’s Zhen Cōngmíng" Yue Yang suddenly asked, getting enthusiastic talking with Zhao Hongyu.

"Zhen Cōngmíng" Hao Ren was surprised.

“Yes. Your dad picked him up from school and brought him over together,” Yue Yang said.

Hao Ren’s sharp eyes immediately swept around, suddenly noticing a little girl in a school uniform next to the mayor, while Zhen Cōngmíng was also wearing a school uniform beside her.

The little girl was delicately beautiful and very gentle and quiet, already having an air of a lady from a wealthy family at such a young age.

“Who is that little girl” Hao Ren asked Yue Yang in a hurry.

"Oh, she’s the mayor's daughter, Wu Luoxue. She goes to the same primary school as Cōngmíng and happens to be in the class next door. Your dad knows the mayor well, so he brought her along too." Yue Yang followed Hao Ren’s finger to look over and answered.

“Uh...” Hao Ren suddenly felt something blocking his throat.

The fact that Zhen Cōngmíng was sticking close to this little girl while the little girl kept a distance from him and quietly stood beside her mayor father clearly indicated…Zhen Cōngmíng had one-sided feelings for her...

"This Wu Luoxue is quiet, but she’s actually already at piano level six. She can also play the violin, dance, paint—she’s good at everything," Yue Yang continued.

Hearing this, Hao Ren turned his gaze to Zhao Yanzǐ who was lingering around in the fruit area... it seemed that there were options above Zhao Yanzǐ's head: piano, big cross; violin, big cross; dancing, big cross; painting, big cross… personality…big cross…

Hao Ren’s gaze passed through the fruit area and discovered the figure of Donghai University’s vice president Lu Qing appearing at the entrance.

Lu Qing took a look around the entrance for a moment before immediately walking briskly towards Hao Ren's direction, approaching Zhao Guang to whisper a few words.

Zhao Guang’s expression suddenly changed.an."Here!"Both Senior Uncles Lu and Sun stood up eagerly in unison."You two must immediately go to the West Sea Dragon Palace," said Zhao Haoran.Sr. Uncle Lu and Sr. Uncle Sun were stunned for a momen...
