Hao Ren followed her into the Borrowing Section .

After returning the books that she borrowed last time, Xie Yujia walked to the science and technology shelves while Hao Ren went toward the culture and art shelves .

"I saw Qin Shaoyang yesterday . Wow! He is so handsome!"

"It's said that he has golden pupils . Is that true?"

"My view wasn't clear . I just had a distant glimpse of him directing the arrangements in the exhibition area . He was so das.h.i.+ng in his grey s.h.i.+rt!"

"What are you guys talking about? Qin Shaoyang? I saw him yesterday when he walked past the entrance of the library! His pupils are golden in the suns.h.i.+ne . He's gorgeous!"

The girls' gossips floated through the bookshelves and reached Hao Ren who was standing in the area .

"Golden pupils…" Hao Ren clenched his fists as he had a bad feeling about Qin Shaoyang's intentions .

A Patrolling Inspector had suddenly appeared in East Ocean City just before Zhao Yanzi's birthday party; his purpose was obvious .

Except for Qin Shaoyang, who had revealed his ident.i.ty, Hao Ren wondered how many disguised Inspectors were secretly coming here . Zhao Yanzi's birthday party was a disguised compet.i.tion of power between East Ocean and the West Ocean; saying that it was a display of strength before the war was an accurate representation . Zhao Guang invited seniors and hermits to join his side while the West Ocean was also preparing their forces . Meanwhile, the Inspectors would come to the party to see if they should intervene .

While the girls were still gossiping, Hao Ren found the books he wanted and went to the exit to check them out .

Xie Yujia had also found the books she needed and walked out from another section .

"You have a broad range of interests," standing in the line behind Hao Ren, Xie Yujia couldn't help but comment when she saw books such as [Eight Extraordinary Meridians], [Ying Yang and the Five Elements], and [Taoism Cla.s.sic Scriptures] in his hands

"Well, they are just for casual readings," Hao Ren replied before turning his head and glancing at the books in Xie Yujia's hands .

"Cla.s.s President, you are the hardworking one . They are all academic books . "

"The mid-term exams are close . I have to find study material on the topics that were not clearly taught in cla.s.s . I need to study these books together with our textbooks to fully understand everything," Xie Yujia said .

Hao Ren smiled at the Cla.s.s President who had a serious att.i.tude towards studying . He thought for a moment before asking, "Can I borrow your notes and make a copy of them?"

"You just don't listen in cla.s.s…" Xie Yujia cast him a 'disdainful' glance before saying "You may come and take them before the mid-term exams . "

Hao Ren was thrilled . Xie Yujia had the best and the most detailed notes in cla.s.s; they were like exam guides with all the key points emphasized . With her notes, it would take him less time to cram for the exams .

However, Hao Ren felt guilty just stealing her half a semester worth of hard work .

"After the exams, I'll treat you to a meal!" he offered .

"You want to bribe me with just a meal…" Xie Yujia murmured but didn't object to it .

After walking out of the Borrowing Section, they took the escalator to the first floor together .

The marble hall on the first floor was now entirely divided into several sections by whiteboards . Viewed from the above, it looked like a maze .

"It seems like Qin Shaoyang is quite famous," Xie Yujia said .

"Cla.s.s President, are you one of his fans, too?" Hao Ren said .

"My idol is Hao…" Xie Yujia blurted out . However, she caught herself and said instead, "Qin Shaoyang is said to be quite handsome, but I have no interest in him . "

Hao Ren wasn't surprised . Xie Yujia was a fan of science, and her idols were famous scientists; she didn't have a lot of interest in artists .

"But you seem to be interested in the culture and art?" Xie Yujia asked while glancing at the books in Hao Ren's hands .

In the stack of books in Hao Ren's hands, there were [Chinese and Foreign Art Ill.u.s.trations], [The Most Famous 100 Artists in History], and [Introduction to Contemporary Arts] beside the Daoism books .

"Ugh, just a bit . " Hao Ren rearranged the stack of books in his arms as he replied .

He was teased mercilessly by Zhao Yanzi yesterday when they visited the 1825 Art District . He felt like an illiterate man in the so-called art world, and that was why he borrowed the books; he wanted to familiarize himself with the art world .

The escalator moved down to the hall on the first floor, and they walked along the pathway in the middle of the exhibition area . They were about to step out of the library when Qin Shaoyang who was in a thin grey windbreaker walked toward them .

Under the admiring gazes of the girls by the entrance, he rested his gaze on Hao Ren before stepping into the library .

"Does he know you?" Xie Yujia asked in surprise .

"Not really . I just met him once," Hao Ren said lightly .

Xie Yujia felt like something was not right, but she didn't want to interfere with Hao Ren's business too much . After waving at Hao Ren, she walked toward her bike .

The moment they left, Qin Shaoyang, who had walked into the library, slowly turned his head and glanced in Xie Yujia's direction .

. . .

The moment that Hao Ren returned to the dorm with his books, he was surrounded by guys .

"Ren! It's too much!"

"You are the common enemy of all guys! You must treat us to a meal!"

"Hand out the QQ 1 numbers of the two beauties, or you will die!"

Hao Ren looked at them in bafflement .

"What's the matter?" he asked .

"Don't play dumb!" Huang Jianfeng got even more indignant .

"The twin beauties just came to our dorm building and brought you a chocolate cake they baked!" he shouted .

"It's too much! We should sentence Ren to a death penalty!" the guys yelled .

The single guys were furious at Hao Ren for receiving a cake baked by the twin beauties .

Exasperated, Hao Ren had to admit that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had a broad range of interests . In their free time when they were not cultivating, they probably fell in love with baking .

"Where is the cake?" Hao Ren asked as he walked into the dorm .

"We all ate it! Nothing is left!" Yu Rong yelled .

Hao Ren rolled his eyes but didn't say anything after considering their burning jealousy . He wondered what elixirs Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had put into the cake they baked and what they would do to the guys .

"Oh, no…" Gu Jiadong who had the weakest stomach among them suddenly put his palms on his belly and yelled in pain .

Right after him, Cao Ronghua's face turned livid too before he dashed toward the public bathroom on the third floor .

One after another, they all rushed into the bathroom .

Even Zhao Jiayi, the fittest one of them all, couldn't bear it . He also held his belly and rushed into the bathroom since he had eaten three pieces of the cake, three times Cao Ronghua's consumption .

Immediately, the public bathroom on the third floor was engulfed in a stinky smell . Hao Ren shook his head in exasperation and thought, "Well, at least the cake is helping them to eliminate the impurities in their bodies, and I guess they won't be vulnerable to any diseases in a couple of years . "

Several minutes later, Cao Ronghua walked out of the bathroom with one hand covering his nose and the other one rubbing his b.u.t.t . However, the moment he reached the door of their dorm room, his face changed, and he rushed back to the bathroom .

Hao Ren couldn't bear the stinkiness, so he got out of the dorm building to escape from it .

Coming out of the building with him were guys who were on the first, second and fourth floors . No one could bear the permeating stinky smell in the building .

Hao Ren walked further away before shaking the little bell on his wrist .

Half a minute later, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili walked out of the southern gate of the campus and towards the dorm area .

"Gongzi, did you like the cake?" they walked to Hao Ren before asking cheerfully while holding each other's hand .

"I didn't eat it; my dormmates ate it . Now they are all… Having internal cleansings in the bathroom . What on earth did you put in the cake?" Hao Ren asked them helplessly .

"Really? How?" Lu Lili widened her adorable big eyes and put her fingers on her mouth, looking innocent .

"Gongzi, knowing that you are fatigued with cultivation recently, we got six Essence Replenis.h.i.+ng Pills from Elder Lu and grounded them into powder before putting them into the cake," Lu Linlin answered .

"It won't do them harm, will it?" Hao Ren asked with a sigh .

"They are all mortal beings who are not toughened by cultivation . The elixirs are too much for them to hold inside, and that is why they have the runs . However, they won't be harmed . Instead, it will help them eliminate any impurities and improve their health," Lu Linlin said .

Relaxed, Hao Ren thought, "It's a blessing in disguise for these greedy guys . After all, they had a taste of elixirs that are not accessible to any mortal beings . "

"But we are the cause of their trouble . Shall we go up and apologize to them?" Worriedly, Lu Lili asked Lu Linlin .

"We told them repeatedly that the cake for Gongzi and they still ate it…" Lu Linlin was exasperated . She was a little angry at the fact that the guys had eaten the cake that she and her sister spent half a night baking .

"Oh, I have another thing to tell you . " Hao Ren opened his palm and revealed a vague grey sword energy .

"Sword condensed with essence!" Lu Lili exclaimed before crooning with a blush, "Gongzi, you are awesome!"

"Ugh…" Hao Ren was embarra.s.sed at Lu Lili's response . Her exclamation was so naive that he felt like a kindergarten kid who was praised by the teacher when he solved the math problem of one plus one .

"How do I use it?" Hao Ren asked . Although Su Han could teach him the basics, she had not cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll . Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were more familiar with the details of this technique .

"You can release it through the center of your palm, or you can shoot the sword energy with your fingertips," Lu Lili said .

"[ Six Pulses G.o.dly Sword 2 ]?" Hao Ren brightened immediately .

"Right now, since your five elements are unbalanced, the sword energy contains no power . Otherwise, when you release the sword energy, it would essentially be a dash of lightning since it combines all five elements . It would break other elemental techniques," Lu Linlin continued .

"It sounds awesome…" Hao Ren withdrew the grey sword energy and asked, "Did Qin Shaoyang cause trouble for you lately?"

"No . When we fought him yesterday, I felt like he should be in mid-tier Kun-level . My sister and I are beyond the realm of the five elements, and that was why he couldn't defend against us no matter how powerful his metal-elemental technique was," Lu Linlin said .

"Oh? He is cultivating a metal-elemental technique?" Hao Ren asked .

"The metal-elemental techniques have the strongest offensive ability, and that's why his combat power is on par with Su Han's even though his cultivation realm is lower . If we don't have the special body type which could resist the five elements in nature, we probably would be no match for him as well!" Lu Linlin said .
