It's just like when graduation is approaching, classmates will go their separate ways. Some will stay in the same city to work hard and be together; others will have to part ways. After this week, "Dragon Son-in-Law" will also face a choice—it should probably start charging for chapters now. For some reason, Xiaolong feels rather sentimental. Over more than a month, everyone has been following it here step by step, but after this week, many classmates will have to part ways. How can I put it... Xiaolong might be feeling melancholy...

Xiaolong knows himself that the true peak of "Dragon Son-in-Law" is up to now. If there's still a chance for glory, then this week would be its last glorious moment!

I haven't asked for votes much before, but this might be my last request. Afterward, "Dragon Son-in-Law" will get buried among the countless novels on Qidian, even though Xiaolong will still try his best to write, it's likely that he'll never again appear in the part of everyone's attention.

During this final week, if you have recommendation votes, please use them all up. This is the last glorious moment.

Hao Ren felt reassured after Zhao Guang promised him something and hurriedly took a taxi back to school before dormitory doors closed for the night.

The 302 dorm was filled with over ten people, all male students from Hao Ren's neighboring or opposite dorms.

They sat messily on bedsides, chairs, and tables, discussing strategies.

"Why are you back so late" Yu Rong asked when he saw Hao Ren return to the dorm.

"I was giving tutoring lessons," Hao Ren replied.

"Zhao Jiayin is almost expelled already. At this time, there's still a mind for tutoring." Yu Rong muttered with dissatisfaction.

"Who said Zhao Jiayin will be expelled" Hao Ren placed his tutorial materials on the desk and didn't argue with Yu Rong, but asked him.

"I heard from some friends in the Student Council that the school is taking this matter very seriously and plans to handle it strictly," Yu Rong said.

Yu Rong was their building No.7 dorm's "little telegraph," no one ever doubted his sources of information.

"Handling things strictly means ordinary students will suffer for sure," Yu Rong continued to say.

"Yeah, before there were cases where ordinary students fought with the basketball team over field issues. Even though they didn't fight as fiercely as this time, those students received warnings," Gu Jiadong chimed in.

“I also participated in the fight. If I get a punishment, then include me in it too." Hao Ren said.

"You're fine!" Yu Rong firmly stated, "A friend from the Student Council told me that fighting depends on the circumstances. The key is who started it; you went to stop the fight and accidentally hurt someone, so the issue isn't too serious. In cases where both sides are at fault, the person who initiated the conflict will face heavier penalties. Moreover, the school tends to favor the basketball team."

At his words, everyone's faces darkened; Zhao Jiayin sat by the bed silently.

Zhao Jiayin was well-liked throughout the entire 7th dormitory building; he was straightforward and enthusiastic. When something like this happened to him, everyone was quite anxious.

If Zhao Jiayin were expelled from school over such an issue...

"Alright, alright, talking about it won't help now. Everyone should go back and rest early," Hao Ren waved his hand and said.

"Right, you guys all go back! Don't worry about me!" Zhao Jiayin also stood up, dismissing everyone.

Knowing that staying wouldn’t lead to any solutions but would only add more trouble for Zhao Jiayin, they all left Dorm 302 one by one.

When the dormitory was just Hao Ren and his three companions again, it fell silent once more. Each returned to their own beds; Hao Ren looked down at him and said, "Zhao Jiayin, you can relax, everything should be fine."

"Heh." Zhao Jiayin forced a smile. He probably knew that there was no escape this time.

"Have your parents been informed of the situation" Zhou Liren asked.

"I haven't told them!" replied Zhao Jiayin.

"Why don't we all write a petition to complain about their basketball team!" Cao Ronghua, who slept below Zhou Liren, yelled out.

"Don't be too naive; the school protecting the basketball team is obvious," Zhao Jiayin played with a coin in his hand and said calmly.

“Sigh, let's sleep now. We'll deal with tomorrow’s issues when they come,” Zhao Jiayin turned off the light with a snap.

The night passed without words; the four of them felt very heavy-hearted.

The next day, Zhao Jiayin followed Hao Ren and went to class as usual. The more he acted nonchalant on the surface and joked around with Zhou Liren and the others, the more students guessed that something was bothering him.

At present, there was no official punishment from the school yet; now all Zhao Jiayin could do was wait for his verdict.

The morning classes ended, Hao Ren said he had some things to take care of and didn't eat lunch with Zhao Jiayin and the others. Instead, he quietly went around to the administration building and sought out Lu Qing in the vice-principal’s office on the sixth floor.

This time, he brought the business card with him. If Lu Qing wasn't in his office, he would call him directly.

Tap tap tap... As Hao Ren lightly knocked on the door, a voice from inside said, "Come in."

Hao Ren opened the door and walked in to see Lu Qing sitting at his desk going through some documents.

"President Lu... Hello," Hao Ren greeted. The moment he spoke, he felt uncertain whether he should address him as President or Elder Lu.

"Young Master Hao, come sit down over here," Lu Qing pointed to the chair opposite and politely said.

Hao Ren closed the door and sat awkwardly in front of him. "You can just call me by my name."

This was the first time he directly faced Vice President Lu's authority, within the office of a university vice president, something he had never imagined before.

"Alright then," Lu Qing smiled and nodded.

"I came to see you because of yesterday’s fight." Hao Ren got straight to the point. "You must already know about this incident. I also participated in it. However, the school seems intent on dealing severely with the troublemakers. And that person is my good friend from my dormitory..."

"This matter," Lu Qing interrupted Hao Ren. "was mentioned at today's morning faculty meeting. The school’s intention is to handle this very seriously as it concerns the overall discipline and climate of the campus."

“Hmm.” Hao Ren’s mood sank a little, wondering if Zhao Guang's call had no effect after hearing Lu Qing's words.

"What do you think should be done about this" Suddenly, Lu Qing redirected his question to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren hesitated for half a second before continuing. "I believe that the basketball team initiated the provocation and Zhao Jiyan’s actions were不得已 (forced), making the main fault lie with those in the basketball team. Moreover, most students are unhappy about the basketball team occupying the outdoor courts when they have their own indoor training facilities..."

Lu Qing smiled at Hao Ren. "No need to give me a reason analysis, tell me how you think it should be handled."

"Zhao Jiyan’s fault isn’t major and he was injured during the attack by them; his punishment would involve just some guidance from an academic counselor. As for those in the basketball team who surrounded and attacked ordinary students, they need to be prohibited from occupying outdoor courts of regular students. Furthermore, their group assault on a student is extremely negative; at least they should receive a warning."

Lu Qing looked at Hao Ren calmly for a few seconds before nodding suddenly. "Alright, we’ll handle it according to what you said."

Hearing Lu Qing’s response, Hao Ren was stunned and stared at him in disbelief. He had only presented his viewpoint and hoped that Lu Qing would understand his position but didn't expect this outcome.

"Actually, the President's intention is also to handle it seriously," Lu Qing seemed to read Hao Ren's thoughts and leaned forward slightly. "Did you have your father call"

Hao Ren nodded slightly.

"Boss is very busy. For such trivial matters in the future, there's no need to bother him. During today’s meeting, the principal made a clear statement that this time’s disciplinary measures would protect the ordinary students. I knew then that boss had secretly helped," Lu Qing said with a smile.

Hao Ren explained, "I was just worried..."

"Haha," Lu Qing looked at Hao Ren kindly, "You've broken through to the second layer"

"Yes, I broke through several days ago."

"It's really not easy," Lu Qing revealed a look of satisfaction. "I’ve never heard before that Su Han would personally guide others in cultivation. She is the second best martial artist I've ever seen; learning from her will definitely help you advance quickly."

Hao Ren guessed that the number one martial artist must be Zhao Yanzi's uncle, but considering his irritable personality, Hao Ren didn't expect any guidance from him.

"I have to attend class in the afternoon, so I'll take my leave now," Hao Ren said as he stood up. He felt somewhat uncomfortable staying too long in the vice-principal’s office.

"Go then..." Lu Qing waved his hand.

After stepping out of the administrative building, Hao Ren went to the cafeteria for lunch and later met Zhao Jiayin and the others again to continue attending classes.

In the afternoon, Zhao Jiayin was listless after a morning filled with forced smiles. He rested his chin on a book, intending to doze off.

"Big news! Big news!"

Just before class started, Yu Rong suddenly rushed into the classroom waving his arms excitedly. "The disciplinary notice is out!"

"Hm" Everyone in the class, including Xie Yujia, raised their heads curiously and with bated breath.

Zhao Jiayin’s head snapped up from where it had been resting on the desk.

"The disciplinary results are posted on the first-floor bulletin board of the administrative building. The basketball team members involved in the fight received four verbal warnings, two written ones, and they've been temporarily expelled from the team! They have to pay Zhao Jiayin for medical expenses too! Lastly, no charges against Zhao Jiayin! And Hao Ren is also unscathed!"

Yu Rong called out excitedly.t secretly switched to rooming with their girlfriends later—those must have been even more thrilled.Hao Ren coughed slightly and walked over: "Class monitor, who are you staying with""I'm also in a si...
