Chapter 440 Who Bullied Yu Jia ~~

d him leave. In their minds, Hao Ren's family background was quite ordinary. They couldn't guess what kind of trouble Hao Ren had gotten into that would lead to someone coming for him in this way.The...Chapter 440 Who Bullied Yu Jia~~

Junren was dumbfounded, holding the documents.

This... does this count as being forcibly kissed...

He cautiously stuck out his tongue and touched it with a finger.

Turning to look at Zhao Yanzi's bed, she wasn't moving an inch.

The blanket had been taken by Zhao Yanzhi, leaving Hao Ren lying outside the covers in green clothes.

"That... did you fall asleep" Hao Ren asked.

There was no response from under the blankets; she remained completely still.

Hao Ren bit his tongue with his teeth. The feeling he had just experienced seemed to linger.

Today's middle school students are truly impressive...

Hao Ren deliberately coughed twice, "If you're asleep, then I'll be leaving..."

The person under the blankets still didn't move. Hao Ren couldn't tell what expression Zhao Yanzhi had at this moment.

Was she triumphant Reckless Embarrassed Or was she confused

Hao Ren lifted his legs and slid to the edge of the bed, putting on his shoes.

"Leaving now," Hao Ren said again.

In reality, he had already decided to leave. After helping Zhao Yanzhi with her lessons, was he really supposed to spend the night here

There still wasn't any movement from under Zhao Yanzhi's blankets.

"Don't suffocate yourself!" Hao Ren lifted his leg and walked out of the room. He then turned around and shot six sword energies, extinguishing all the candles in the room before slowly closing the door.

In the courtyard, the green grass was lush and fragrant flowers were everywhere. Hao Ren looked up but couldn't see the moon; instead, he saw the dark blue ocean water.

He suddenly felt something amiss. Turning around, he saw Zhao Kuo in black robes lying across the roof ridge of Zhao Yanzhi's palace, drinking from a wine flask to himself.

"Third... Uncle" Hao Ren suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Humph!" Zhao Kuo threw the wine bottle and landed softly from high up. He grabbed Hao Ren by the hand, leaped over the wall.

The patrolling soldiers happened to walk past in front of them at that moment. Zhao Kuo let go of Hao Ren, pushed him with his hand, "If you dare do anything to Ah Zi, I'll kill you!" A cold sweat broke out on Hao Ren's back. He was lucky he had just come here to tutor Zhao Yanzhi; otherwise...

"Come on! Let's go drinking together…" Zhao Kuo grabbed Hao Ren again, jumped up and flew to the roof of another palace. Then with a light leap, he headed towards the Xuan Gong Palace.

"Who are you" The imperial guards patrolling at night noticed something unusual and shouted out immediately.

"It's me!" Zhao Kuo replied.

The guards looked up and saw Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo, hastily saluting them, "We pay our respects to the Great General..."

Held by Zhao Kuo, Hao Ren could only awkwardly wave his hand. Zhao Kuo leaped into the air,解開玄功殿外部的陣法，輕踏屋簷，直奔頂層。removed the array formation outside the Xuan Gong Palace and stepped lightly on the roof ridge, rushing straight to the top floor.

The seven-story-high Xuan Gong Palace was the tallest building in the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Because it stored various precious cultivation methods that ordinary cultivators could not approach, this place was also the quietest spot within the palace.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Zhao Kuo's iron hand grabbed Hao Ren's shoulder; in a few somersaults, they arrived at the top floor of the Xuan Gong Palace.

The Xuan Gong Palace was designed like a seven-story pagoda. Inside it were arranged cultivation methods according to "red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple" in order of rank. Therefore, this highest level was also the smallest one; its circular roof had an area of only five or six square meters.

Zhao Kuo sat on the glazed tiles and took out a jug of wine from his ring, throwing it to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren caught the jug with his hand and sat down順勢坐下來。in succession.

Sitting atop the pagoda roof of the Xuan Gong Palace, looking around, one could see the entire Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Large and small palaces, under the illumination of row upon row of lanterns, looked grand and imposing.

Zhao Kuo held his wine jug against the back spire, leisurely said, "These will all be yours in the future!" The seventh-floor tower underneath them housed the purple-grade cultivation methods that every dragon clan cultivator yearned for.當然，這其中威力無窮的陣法，就算是趙闊擅闖，也是有進無出。Of course, these array formations of immense power were such that even Zhao Kuo's unauthorized entry would leave him trapped inside.

Hao Ren surveyed this boundless Eastern Sea Dragon Palace shrouded in a golden aura. He opened the wine jug and took a small sip.

"What else did my dad tell you..." Zhao Kuo asked.

Hao Ren pursed his lips, feeling that the wine was richer than the banquet wine; he continued, "He said I have sufficient courage but lack authority to become a vassal lord." "That's right!" Zhao Kuo raised his neck and took a swig of strong liquor.

"He says Ah Zi’s dad has grand ambitions but lacks decisiveness. He says you are invincible in bravery, yet short on strategy. He mentions that Uncle Number Two of Ah Zi is outstanding in wisdom, but unable to cultivate; he can only enjoy worldly wealth..."

"Hmm…" Zhao Kuo fell into deep thought.

"He also said Ah Zi’s temperament is too restless and hard to manage the bigger picture. He himself has grown old, the future situation in the Eastern Sea precarious. Therefore, he doesn’t want the position of Great General to fall into others’ hands; rather than give it to an ambitious person, he prefers someone incompetent to hold onto it." "Incompetent" Hmph! Zhao Kuo looked at Hao Ren, “I don't think you’re incompetent.” He knew Zhao Haoran’s discerning eye; if Hao Ren were truly incompetent, how could Zhao Haoran hand over the token to him An incompetent person would never be able to keep hold of the Great General's token.

Hao Ren made no comment and continued, "Originally, he wanted to pass his cultivation strength onto you. But since you didn't return, passing it to Ah Zi’s dad seemed wasteful; giving it to Ah Zi wasn’t appropriate either. So, he passed it on to me..."

"Anything else…" Zhao Kuo probed further.

"He said that after cultivating for a thousand years, his killing intent was too intense, hence unable to break through the Heavenly Dragon Realm. But in this life, ruling over one domain left him with no regrets..." Hao Ren said.

Zhao Kuo nodded and fell into deep thought; Hao Ren remained silent.

"Didn't he leave any special words for me" Zhao Kuo, unwilling to accept this, asked again.

"He just told me to give you the sword. Nothing else," Hao Ren replied.

Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and gave a heavy "hmph" through his nose before gulping down several mouthfuls of strong liquor.

His gaze shifted towards the palace of the old Dragon King, Zhao Haoran.

The large training ground at the entrance of that palace was filled with too many memories for Zhao Kuo. From when he first learned to walk, Zhao Haoran taught him how to stand in a horse stance, then went on to teach him fist techniques and concentration exercises...

Back then, little Zhao Kuo with his tiny arms and legs practiced especially earnestly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo's nose felt slightly sour, and tears welled up at the corners of his eyes.

"Uncle Zhai, are you okay" Hao Ren noticed the change in Zhao Kuo's expression and asked.

"I'm fine! Just choked on my drink..." Zhao Kuo picked up a wine jug and clinked it against Hao Ren’s.

Hao Ren and Zhao Tong each raised their heads to take a sip of the liquor.

"Listen here, kid…" Zhao Kuo put down his wine jug and looked at Hao Ren.

“What” Hao Ren looked back at him.

"That Xie Yujia, what relation is she to you" Zhao Kuo asked.

"She's... a classmate..." Hao Ren hesitated before answering.

"It can't be that simple," Zhao Kuo followed up his question.

“What does Uncle think” Hao Ren felt like he was being questioned back.

"Azi cannot suffer any loss. I don’t care what arrangements Zhao Hongyu and that little girl have made;總而言之，我不同意。”趙闊說道。

Seeing no reaction from Hao Ren, he glanced at him again: “Break off your relationship with Xie Yujia or else I’ll push you down…”

His arm rested on Hao Ren’s shoulder.

Hao Ren quietly looked back at him: “I… won’t agree…”

Zhao Kuo suddenly tightened his grip.

Hao Ren's body tilted, about to roll down the slope of the tower top. Seizing this opportunity, he grabbed Zhao Kuo’s arm and used a simple lock-up technique to seize Zhao Kuo’s wrist.

"Good kid!" As Hao Ren pulled him up, Zhao Kuo threw his other arm's wine jug away with one hand and swung a fist the size of a gold bowl toward Hao Ren's face.

Hao Ren stood up on the roof edge, using it as leverage to dodge Zhao Kuo's fist and then kicked towards Zhao Kuo.

"Indeed formidable! You dare to fight me..." Zhao Kuo followed with a kick, whooshing past.

The glazed tiles were lifted by several pieces, and the formation protecting the Xuan Gong Hall fluttered slightly.

The Xuan Gong Hall was the most crucial part of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. It had been personally arranged by Qiuniu when he resided there. Even a乾坤-level cultivator would be instantly killed if they triggered the formation.

There were only five or six square meters on this roof, but it was fifty to sixty meters high. Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo suppressed their spiritual energy and fought with just physical strength and martial arts skills bare-handedly.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Hao Ren continuously defended himself, yet Zhao Kuo finally managed to land a punch on Hao Ren's cheek.

At that moment, Hao Ren's fist also hit Zhao Kuo's chest. However, for the robust Zhao Kuo, this had no impact whatsoever.

Snap!

Hao Ren's right cheek received another punch. With the Splitting Light Sword Shadow Technique, he might have been able to hold his own against Zhao Kuo, but when it came to physical strength and martial arts skills, he was clearly no match for Zhao Kuo.

Bam!

Zhao Kuo's elbow struck Hao Ren in the chest. Hao Ren slipped with his feet, and his back crushed a piece of glazed tile.

Even so, Hao Ren did not trigger any spiritual energy. Activating spiritual energy near the seventh floor of Xuan Gong Hall, which was surrounded by an extremely complex formation, would be akin to detonating an atomic bomb.

"Get up and continue drinking!" Zhao Kuo kicked Hao Ren's knee, picked up a nearby alcohol flask, and said.

Hao Ren rubbed his wounds, grabbed the alcohol flask beside him, and tapped it against Zhao Kuo’s.

“If there is anything that hurts A Zi in the future, I will give you a lesson far more severe…” Zhao Kuo stared at Hao Ren with fierce eyes as he said this.

Hao Ren sighed helplessly. He could neither defeat nor escape from his third uncle. Besides, the seniority was there, and given that Zhao Kuo had rapidly reached the Du rank in such a short time, it would be even harder to surpass him in the future.

“You'd better pray you don't reach the Heaven Dragon Realm…” Zhao Kuo continued.

"Why" Hao Ren asked immediately.

"I know that behind Xie Yujia, there's a grand cultivator at the Transformation Core stage supporting her. But once I ascend to the Heaven Dragon Realm, I'll see who dares bully our A Zi..."

Zhao Kuo looked up with a fierce expression.

"I also want to know who can bully our Yujia…" Suddenly, a voice resounded above the dragon palace.

An astonishing pressure instantly crushed through the protective formation of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.er before facing 郝仁 once more and called out in harmony, "Young Master."This soft trailing tone, combined with their angelic voices, made anyone who heard it feel as if they were melting away.Hao Ren...
