Chapter 66: What Happened?

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

“Also, the school specified that from now on, the players on basketball team would not be allowed to use the outdoor basketball courts without authorization. Or else, they will be harshly punished if any disputes over the use of the court are to happen again,” Yu Rong added.

The news from Yu Rong greatly astounded the entire class. At first, they all believed that the school’s final decision would victimize Zhao Jiayi. Yet, he was not penalized in any way at all. On top of that, the four people on the basketball team who were injured now had to compensate Zhao Jiayi for his medical expenses.

“Does Zhao Jiayi have a powerful background or what?”

“No wonder he was so collected in the morning….”

“He must have relatives who are government officials, right?”

“Is Yu Rong joking? How is it possible that the school would penalize the players on the basketball team?”

Instantly, a discussion broke out and began spreading to all corners of the classroom.

Zhao Jiayi could not believe the news himself, either. He wondered if his ears had failed him. Unlike what his classmates were speculating, it was out of dignity that he tried to remain calm this morning. He had no last measure or influential background.

Seeing that people doubted the accuracy of the news he brought, Yu Rong took out his phone. “This is a photo that my friend took and sent to me! If you don’t believe it, then go check the display window at the Administrative Building yourselves!” he shouted.

“Let me see! Let me see!” the male students yelled out eagerly.

Yu Rong passed his phone to them. One by one, the guys were uttering an “Oh” to show that they were now finally convinced.

As for Xie Yujia, who was seated in the front, she turned around to observe the guys jumping and running in excitement. Biting her lips, her brows furrowed slightly.

Indeed, she did try to help Zhao Jiayi by talking to the school management team. Still, she did not expect the school to favor Zhao Jiayi like this completely. Moreover, the school did not handle this in the way that would reconcile all parties involved as she had anticipated. Instead, they heavily penalized the basketball team.

Now that the basketball match between East Ocean University and Jinghua University was about to start, she could not understand why the school would make such a decision at all.

Out of the six members of the basketball team, four of them were now dismissed. She couldn’t imagine how much it would impact her older brother’s basketball team… Grasping the pen in her hand, Xie Yujia was very concerned.

At this time, she was no longer worried about Zhao Jiayi and Hao Ren but how her brother would react to this situation.

Shortly, their lecturer arrived in the classroom and stopped the chattering from growing any further. Yet, during the lecture, whispers could still be heard.

Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua who were seated in the back continued to talk among themselves excitedly.

Especially Zhou Liren, whose face was bright red and was now lowering his voice to blurt out, “One who survives a great disaster is destined to good fortune forever! Zhao Jiayi, you have to treat us to dinner!”

“F*ck, I don’t even know what is going on.”

The happiness came too soon and too abruptly. Zhao Jiayi was still a little confused, but he could not hide the blooming smile on his face.

Also, Zhao Jiayi did not want to deliberately explain himself as he did not care if people thought he had a powerful background or not.

Only Hao Ren knew what was going on. Yet, he did not want to claim credit for it. As long as his good friend Zhao Jiayi was fine, he was happy.

After all, the arrogant bullies on the basketball team did deserve a lesson.

Besides, Hao Ren began to imagine Huang Xujie’s reaction to this news. That guy was extremely confident yesterday…

After class, the crowd was cheering for Zhao Jiayi and asked him to treat everyone to milk tea. Since he was in such a merry mood, Zhao Jiayi agreed. So, in the end, everyone in the class received a drink for this celebratory occasion.

At four in the afternoon, Zhao Jiayi further treated the guys to computer games. Hence, the large crowd gleefully headed towards the internet cafe at Hongji Square.

Again, Hao Ren excused him and did not join the crowd. Instead, he quietly hurried to the Academic Building F.

This time, he made sure he was not being followed before entering Su Han’s office.

The door to Su Han’s office was not locked as if she was expecting him. When Hao Ren walked in, he saw that Su Han had her eyes tightly shut and was completely immersed in her own cultivation.

Gently, he closed the door and sat down in the chair across from Su Han. He did not want to interrupt her, so he quietly began cultivating the Spirit Concentration Scroll.

A burst of faint energy rushed from his Dantian to his Huiyin Acupoint and then Guowei Acupoint. Afterward, it ascended to Mingmen Acupoint, Yuzhen Acupoint, Baihui Acupoint, and passed Danzhong Acupoint to Shenque Acupoint, then back to his Dantian.

In this continuous loop, it seemed that his body was being nourished and had become incredibly at ease. In addition, Su Han’s office was facing the lawn and the garden outside of the building. With its fresh air and serene environment, it was indeed the perfect location in the school for cultivation.

This gentle and warm energy had filled up half of his body, and he could no longer absorb any more of it. Reluctantly, he opened his eyes.

He saw that Su Han had also finished her cultivation and was calmly looking at him from the seat across.

With her backdrop being the brown bead curtain, Su Han, who was in light-colored clothing, looked as if she was a beauty in a painting.

Calmly, she lifted her slender hand and picked up the teapot on the table. With her fingers slightly curled, she started pouring the bright green colored tea into two crystal clear cups made of white jade.

“Please,” She uttered.

Hao Ren nodded his head and held up the teacup. As he took a small sip, he felt that its aroma had seeped through and taken root in his mouth. His entire body was becoming light and agile.

Picking up the teacup with her white wrist elegantly, Su Han also took a sip.

Silence had taken over the room as a light breeze came in through the window and made the bamboo curtain beside Su Han to flutter.

“I didn’t come yesterday because of an incident that happened in the school,” Hao Ren said as he decided to break the silence.

“Not my concern,” Su Han coldly stated.

Now that his words were met with rejection, Hao Ren could only stop talking again. Still, he thought hard to come up with another topic, “The last time I went to the GreenStone Mountain with Zi’s family, I ran into a stone monument in the Daoist Temple situated at the summit. However, I did not quite understand the writing on it.”

“Well, see if you can recite it for me,” Su Han replied.

Hao Ren recalled for a moment and was able to recite the writing for her.

Su Han listened carefully. When Hao Ren finished reciting, she explained, “This monument was supposedly left behind by Daoist Master Zhang when he achieved ascension. It was allegedly his enlightenment about the Heavenly Dao, so it does have a lot of history behind it. However, in the past few hundred years, no one was able to understand the writing fully. Therefore, even though it is widely known, it is not of much use.”

“Not able to fully understand it? Because of it, I almost had a breakthrough of the second level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll,” Hao Ren thought to himself secretly.

“Speaking of the GreenStone Mountain, there is a senior of the Dragon Tribe who resides there. The reason Zhao Guang took you to the GreenStone Mountain was probably to visit him,” Su Han added.

Suddenly, she raised her head and muttered to herself, “It seems like he has started to get ready by drawing people over to his side.”

Now that Su Han looked mysterious and preoccupied, Hao Ren couldn’t help but ask her, “What does that mean?”

Su Han looked at him with her brow slightly furrowed, “Humph, do you think it is such a simple matter to be Zhao Guang’s son-in-law?” she said. After that, she waved her hand. “Alright, it’s six now.”

Knowing that Zhao Hongyu didn’t even want to get on the wrong side of Su Han, Hao Ren did not inquire any further and was about to get up and leave.

“Actually,” right when Hao Ren was about to walk out of the office, Su Han stopped him and said, “I’ll teach you a set of techniques that would allow you to control your strength better, so you won’t injure people again.”
