Outside the teaching building of the junior high section, Xie Yujia glanced at Hao Ren and asked, "I'm going to talk with a teacher from the fourth year junior class; would you like to come along or just wander around the school"

"I'll walk around the campus first. I'll take you back later," Hao Ren replied.

"Alright then. Let me treat you to dinner." Xie Yujia smiled readily and crossed the bridge over the lake, heading towards the teaching building of the high school section.

Hao Ren watched her walk lightly across to the other side, as if seeing the vibrant Xie Yujia from his own middle school days.

Would I have liked a girl like her back then too Hao Ren asked himself inwardly.

In the nearby playground, two or three classes were having their PE lessons. Boys ran and played on the field while girls chatted noisily by the surrounding fences—the scene was identical to what it had been during Hao Ren’s own middle school days.

He found a step to sit down and quietly practiced refining the Swordlight Form, watching students run around the soccer field.

The necklace's mustard seed space could hold earth treasures but not ethereal energy. Hao Ren originally thought of storing the world’s ethereal energy in this space for use during cultivation to speed up his progress, but it seemed that wouldn’t work.

Based on the results Li Lin and Li Feihe obtained today, Hao Ren decided to strengthen his absorption of metal and wood elements. Metal could be aided by Su Han’s golden bead, but he would have to figure out the wood element himself.

The Swordlight Form had the power to transform elements, but it needed a thick foundation of elemental energy to do so efficiently. The ethereal energy in the world or Hao Ren's body was too thin for transformation to be effective; direct absorption from nature worked better.

As he ran six to seven cycles of the Swordlight Form within his body and further opened up the second dragon pearl, all the students on the playground gathered around him.

The bell signaling the end of class rang. Students dispersed from the playground. Behind Hao Ren’s teaching building, it immediately became lively.

Students came out of their classrooms one by one and walked around each floor's balconies and staircases.

Hao Ren wanted to go up and see Zhao Yanzǐ, but he also thought it would cause her trouble. So he stood up and prepared to walk around the campus.

"Uncle!" Suddenly, Zhao Yanzǐ's voice rang out from behind Hao Ren.

Hao Ren turned around and saw Zhao Yanzǐ in a light blue school uniform running out of the teaching building.

So Hao Ren stood there as Zhao Yanzǐ rushed to him. Following her was Xiao Ling, one of Zhao Yanzǐ's schoolmates.

B Class of Grade 2, Zhao Yanzǐ. The name tag under the school badge hung on the front of Zhao Yanzǐ’s uniform.

"Why" did you come over" she panted a little and asked Hao Ren.

"Just to see you," Hao Ren said.

“Where's ‘her’” Zhao Yanzǐ continued, with an angry tone.

Hao Ren knew she was referring to Xie Yujiā. He shook his head and said, "She should be in the high school building."

"Hmph, you came here to accompany her, right" Zhao Yanzǐ looked up at Hao Ren with a stern expression.

“Alright then, just say what you want,” Hao Ren didn’t feel like arguing. After all, this was her territory.

Seeing that Hao Ren had such an indifferent attitude, Zhao Yanzǐ became even more annoyed and said, "In the office earlier, did you deliberately come to watch my show"

"I'm not a student at your school. I don't know your teachers either; how could I explain it" Hao Ren countered her question inwardly thinking that copying homework wasn’t wrong but being caught by the teacher was.

“When are you going back” Zhao Yanzǐ’s tone softened slightly as she asked.

"Maybe, let's wait a little longer," Hu Ren replied to her.

"Wait for me at the school gate when you're done with classes," she said.

Hu Ren hesitated slightly before nodding.

While they were talking, Xia Ling stood beside Zhao Yanzǐ, observing Hu Ren. It seemed to her that this "uncle" was different from the one she had seen before.

"Ah Zi, your boyfriend is looking for you again!" Several young girls ran over and shouted beside Zhao Yanzǐ and Hu Ren.

Zhao Yanzǐ bit her lip, smiled happily without denying it, and turned to playfully hit them. The girls scattered, laughing even louder.

At this moment, Hu Ren looked around and noticed that the boys and girls on the balcony were leaning against the railings, looking down at him and Zhao Yanzǐ.

Zhao Yanzǐ was speaking to him beside the flower bed of the teaching building, yet she had been collectively surrounded by students from her junior high school...

As a famous figure in the school, even her influence had spread to senior high. News like "Zhao Yanzǐ's boyfriend comes to visit" would naturally spread through the entire junior high school within just a few minutes after class.

"Zhao Yanzǐ, give a kiss!" The girls who were chased away by Zhao Yanzǐ returned and shouted in unison, obviously having planned it together beforehand.

"Zhao Yanzǐ, give a kiss!" Boys outside the second-grade classrooms on the second floor of the teaching building also joined in to cheer.

"Give a kiss! Give a kiss!" Other mischievous boys also started shouting.

Zhao Yanzǐ's face turned red as she leaned against Hu Ren's shoulder, "Don't come looking for me at school隨便ly."

The cheers from the balcony of the teaching building gradually became more organized: "Zhao Yanzǐ, give a kiss! Zhao Yanzǐ, give a kiss!

These students are really causing a commotion. Hao Ren knew that such shouting would inevitably draw the teachers from their offices, so he prepared to retreat promptly.

At this moment, Zhao Yanzi suddenly stepped forward and said in an incredibly soft voice, "It's okay to hug."

"Huh" Amidst the wave of students' shouts, Hao Ren couldn't help but wonder if he had misunderstood.

"Idiot!" Zhao Yanzi gently patted Hao Ren's chest with her hand and took another half step forward, lightly bumping into his embrace.

"Oh oh oh!" The students, both boys and girls, began to cheer loudly.

Hao Ren turned red all the way down to his neck; it was his first time hugging a girl in public like this.

"What's going on here!" A slender-looking head teacher burst out of his office.

Seeing an unfavorable situation, Hao Ren quickly turned and ran. With his current level of agility, he moved as swiftly as if performing light-footed kung fu moves, instantly vanishing into the shadows of the school’s greenery.

Zhao Yanzi touched her burning cheeks, raised her head, and beckoned Little Ling with a finger. "Let's go! I'll treat you to a milk tea at the school store!"

Under the gaze of everyone on the balcony, Zhao Yanzi and Little Ling walked off into the distance. Today, she, as the "celebrity" in this campus, truly made headlines.

The boys all remembered Hao Ren who managed to hug Zhao Yanzi, a girl no one could catch.
