“Me?” Hao Ren looked confused as he pointed to himself.

Su Han nodded.

“Wow…” The crowd was shocked and screams emerged like a flood.

Having this extraordinarily beautiful teacher ask a student to go to her office was something that never happened before.

Therefore, receiving everyone’s attention, Hao Ren was pushed to the cusp of public opinion again. He walked up to the front of the classroom while all the shocked, envious, and jealous looks from all the guys in the classroom landed on him.

Su Han nodded at Hao Ren without saying anything else. Then she grabbed lecture notes and walked out of the classroom.

Hao Ren followed her, having no idea what on earth Su Han was going to do.

Walking through the hallways and passing the overbridge between the academic buildings, Hao Ren walked into Su Han’s office while a crowd of students looked at him with curiosity.

It was known that Su Han, who had just been in the university for one year, wasn’t only a celebrity at the Mechatronic Engineering Department, but also at the entire university. Everyone knew there was a teacher who had the beauty of a celebrity in the university but was still single.

Su Han took out a key and opened the office door.

A refreshing smell blew onto their faces.

There were six or seven pots of plants on the window sill. The wooden imitated-antique tables and chairs were widely different from those provided by the university. Apparently, Su Han bought them herself.

The decoration of the entire office was very elegant and graceful, making it seem like her own little world.

Having her own separate office while most of the teachers had to share with each other had well proved that Su Han’s status here wasn’t normal.

All those wooden chairs and shelves were quite pricey even though they weren’t real antiques. “It seems that Su Han’s family is pretty well-off.” Hao Ren thought as he observed the office.

Su Han closed the door and put the lecture notes down on the table. Then she pulled out a rosewood chair and sat down gracefully. She looked at Hao Ren and asked, “Where are you from?”

“Mechatronic Engineering,” Hao Ren answered.

Hao Ren looked around the office and thought that he was probably the first student who was lucky enough to get in Su Han’s office.

“Don’t try to avoid the point,” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and said.

“Em?” Hao Ren was quite confused. He was a student of the Mechatronic Engineering Department of East Ocean University. Where else could he be from?

Su Han seemed to have gotten annoyed. Although she had a frowny face on at the moment, her beauty was still beyond description.

Her every act and every move was so classic and elegant that it could never be imitated by any other beautiful lady. That was also why there were countless guys going crazy for her.

Su Han reached out her slim hand and grabbed Hao Ren’s wrist. Her action wasn’t fast, but Hao Ren had no way to avoid it.

“As I expected, it is the Water Element. Tell me where you belong, River, Steam, Lake, or Ocean?” Su Han asked casually.

Who knew how many guys would scream like a girl out of jealousy if they saw this scene.

“You…” Hao Ren looked at her with even more confusion.

“If you can’t answer me, I have enough reasons to kill you.” A chilling expression suddenly appeared in Su Han’s eyes, making Hao Ren’s entire body shiver.

“How did that happen? A normal human body like yours is giving out the sensation of a dragon. Where did you get the cultivation technique?” Staring at Hao Ren, Su Han paused after every word she said.

“It was… from Lu Qing.” Hao Ren hesitated for a moment and said.

“Oh? You are from the East Ocean?” Su Han frowned as she was a bit surprised.

Hao Ren was feeling more puzzled.

“That’s weird, how could a normal person mix in with the East Ocean Dragon Clan…” She mumbled to herself and then asked again, “What is your relationship with Lu Qing?”

Hao Ren threw up his hands and answered, “I’m not sure about that. Who are you?”

Hao Ren couldn’t figure out the things that were happening to him these days. He felt like his head was going to explode.

“I am an “Inspector”, it seems that you do know nothing.” Rubbing her pretty head, Su Han seemed confused too. She waved at Hao Ren and said, “You can leave now, I’ll go talk to Lu Qing.”

The way she acted made her appear as if she was at a higher position than Lu Qing. However, Lu Qing was the vice-principal while she was just a teacher of the university…

Hao Ren was totally puzzled.

“But I need to warn you that I have enough reason to kill you if you dare to reveal any secrets.” Su Han added as Hao Ren walked out of the office.

Woosh… Hao Ren let out a long breath when he left the office.

He went back to his dorm in anxiety and fear. Then, seven to eight guys flooded to him immediately.

“What did Su Han ask you for?”

“Why did she look for you?”

“Did you go to her office?”

“Don’t try to keep anything from us dude, did you do anything that drew her attention?”

Hao Ren was surrounded tightly by them, but he didn’t leak any information as he didn’t forget Su Han’s warning.

Realizing they couldn’t get anything from Hao Ren, those guys decided to switch targets and asked Zhao Jiayi and the others since they were the closest to Hao Ren.

However, Zhao Jiayi and other guys didn’t know what Hao Ren did recently to catch Su Han’s attention. The four of them were always together when they were at the university, but they didn’t notice anything else Hao Ren did that would interest Su Han.

As a consequence, Hao Ren going to Su Han’s office had become a mystery among the guys. Hao Ren had brought them too much gossip and surprises these days. Gradually, people started to think that Hao Ren was someone special.

However, as the person involved, Hao Ren didn’t join in the conversation with the others. He was wondering what they would think about him if they found out that he still had the name card of the vice-principal.

It was finally the evening after Hao Ren tried to avoid the unstoppable questioning from all the guys. The four guys in the dorm seemed way too excited to fall asleep.

Especially Zhou Liren, who kept asking Hao Ren what was with Su Han.

This matter could have been dealt with easily, but it triggered the crowd’s curiosity as Hao Ren refused to say anything about it. Hao Ren could make an excuse to fool others, but he thought it would be safer if he remained silent as thinking of the mysterious temper Su Han had.

“All the visitors are gone, and we are close friends. Hao Ren, Can you just tell us what Su Han asked you for?”Zhou Liren reached his hand to Hao Ren’s window and asked.

Cao Ronghua and Zhao Jiayi who slept on the lower berth straightened their ears hoping Hao Ren could reveal some information.

“Stop mentioning it and get some rest.” Hao Ren sighed and felt very helpless.

“That is so unfriendly of you.” Zhou Liren was deeply disappointed.

“Dude, you are so secretive recently.” Zhao Jiayi kicked the bed frame of the upper berth from underneath.

Hao Ren couldn’t help with the situation. He used to be able to talk about anything with his buddies, but in terms of these things, there was nothing he could do.

“But you seemed to have good luck in love these days,” Cao Ronghua said all of a sudden.

The lights were off at the moment; the four guys were talking in the dark excitedly and didn’t feel tired.

“Yeah, I think our Class President Xie Yujia is interested in you too.” Zhou Liren followed.

“How come…” Hao Ren yelled. He finally didn’t have to stay silent as there came a topic he could talk about.

“She kept looking back at you recently, don’t tell me you didn’t know about that,” Zhao Jiayi said.

“Make your move if you like her. What is the point of hesitating?” Cao Ronghua suggested.

“Don’t mess around. I think she was just caring for a classmate.” Hao Ren felt a bit panicky. He didn’t really care too much about these things.

He felt that he got involved in something he wasn’t supposed to. Now he was unable to get away from it and there would be danger waiting for him at any time.

“Don’t you like the Lin Li? The most popular girl in the school?” Zhou Liren yelled.

“That is you, all right? I never liked her.” Hao Ren shrugged.

“But she is indeed beautiful. Zhao Jiayi likes her too, doesn’t he?”

“F*ck off, don’t mention me, it was obviously you!”

“Zhao Jiayi had so many girlfriends…”

They continued to chat until the morning, which left Hao Ren no chance to go out and cultivate at midnight. However, he actually liked spending all night chatting with his buddies.

Soon it was the next day, another Friday that was so close to the weekend. Su Han asking Hao Ren to go to her office was definitely the hot topic of the day.

Even Xie Yujia who never talked in class was discussing quietly with the girls around her from time to time. Hao Ren could tell that she was talking about Su Han from the looks she threw at him.

The teacher couldn’t concentrate on teaching while the students continued to discuss. Although he had warned them a few times, it didn’t cool down their passion.

“Em, it will probably be over after this weekend. They are just too bored I guess. Last time when a good-looking guy from the fourth-year showed his admiration to Lin Li, everyone was talking about that with great interest. However, they switched their interest to other hot topics after two or three days…” Spinning his pen, Hao Ren hoped helplessly.

Bang bang bang…

The classroom door was knocked on by someone from the outside.

The angry teacher who was just lecturing went to open the door. He was enraged because nobody paid attention to his class, and he assumed it was a student who was late. He was about to release his rage on the “intruder”. However, he found the person standing outside to be vice-principal Lu Qing.

“Vice-principal…” The teacher said quietly and took a half step back involuntarily.

Lu Qing kept a straight face and walked in. He looked at the teacher and then at the students in the class before asking, “How can it be so out of order in here?”

Seeing the vice-principal in person, all the students turned quiet out of fear. No one ever expected that the vice-principal would have an interest in visiting the class by himself. The class coincidently happened to be especially noisy as he walked by.

Lu Qing’s eyes were sweeping over the students in the class. When he made eye contact with Hao Ren, Hao Ren couldn’t help but shiver, feeling his body freeze up for a moment.

“Get your class under control and teach it well.” Lu Qing left his words to the teacher and left the classroom.

The students looked at each other in speechless despair, and no one dared to talk again. The teacher felt such a relief and nodded with satisfaction as he saw all his students finally become quiet. He could finally continue his class.

Hao Ren gave a sigh of relief as well. He had a feeling Lu Qing came here on purpose for him as he felt restrained when Lu Qing’s eyes passed him.

The passion students had with chatting was cut off by the appearance of the vice-principal, which seemed to make the lunch break come faster.

There was no class on Friday afternoon, therefore, whoever lived in East Ocean City could go home in the afternoon.

Hao Ren’s home was beside the ocean and wasn’t that close to the university. Thus, he didn’t go back home every weekend. Cao Ronghua lived even further, so he barely went back home. In terms of Zhou Liren and Zhao Jiayi, they were used to the free life at university, so they weren’t willing to go home if it wasn’t necessary.

They bent their arms around each other’s shoulders and was about to cross the south gate of the campus to go back to the dorm to play cards, but they noticed there was a black Lincoln Stretch Limousine parked at the gate of the dorm area. It looked extremely shining and luxurious in the sunlight.

“Who is that arrogant, getting picked up by a car like that?” Staring at the luxury car, Zhou Liren yelled.

They had heard about some rich kids at the university who got picked up on weekends by BMWs, but it was the first time for them to see someone got picked up by a luxury car on this level.

Not only the four of them, but all other students who lived in this dorm area had never seen a scene like that.

Whoever walked by the gate slowed down either intentionally or unintentionally in order to see who was going to get picked up by the car.

“Is someone trying to show off by getting picked up in this kind of car?” Laying his arm on Hao Ren, Zhao Jiayi said disdainfully as they walked by the car.

“Yeah, obviously they’re showing off. Showing off too much will ruin their luck,” Hao Ren said with a bit jealousy too as he despised this kind of behavior.

There was nothing wrong with maintaining a low profile.

As they walked by the car and expressed their disdain while still putting their arms on each other’s shoulders, the car door suddenly opened. Two giant men in black and a short elder got out of the car.

Seeing the short elder, Hao Ren got bitterly disappointed – because he had seen this elder at Zhao Yanzi’s father’s office.

This elder was Elder Sun, the”old and disrespectful” man Zhao Yanzi hated so much that she wished she could tear him apart.

“Childe Hao, Ms. Zi’s family is inviting you for a visit,” The elder said to Hao Ren pridefully.
