rial immortals. Nowadays, all terrestrial immortals have become celestial immortals, and most ground affairs are now handled by the dragon clan."Huo Ren nodded without asking any further questions.Ret...Chapter 231: Trading Conference

@Xi Xi's Fang Xu has even more cool male characters! The pill foes are handsome guys too!! Haha, a little farmer.

"Trading conference" Hao Ren showed interest.

"Shh!" Lu Lili made a gesture to speak softly. "This is the trading conference for cultivation sects; Young Master shouldn't publicize it."

Hao Ren looked at the bustling crowd in the sports arena and guessed that there might be dragon cultivators or inspectors among them. However, such trading conferences wouldn’t allow dragon cultivators to attend.

"My sister and I practice cultivation methods unrelated to dragons; participating in this kind of conference shouldn't cause any issues for us. Young Master practices the Swordlight Decision which involves cultivating all five elements at once, so we’re considered elemental root types by cultivation sects and won’t be detected as imposters. We can sneak in then," Lu Linlin said.

"What does a trading conference look like" Hao Ren asked them softly.

"Haha, Young Master will see when he goes there; it's quite interesting, and you often get unexpectedly good items," Lu Linlin spoke with excitement. By her appearance, she seemed to have attended such conferences before while in the Heavenly Realm as well.

What they said actually made Hao Ren curious about what the trading conference would be like; it must be lively.

"We’ll come and find Young Master on weekends; we won’t disturb him beforehand!" Lu Lihe smiled sweetly to Hao Ren.

"Oh, and one more thing—thank you for saving us today, Young Master!" Suddenly, Lu Lili added another remark.

Hao Ren gave a slight smile but didn't know what to say. When he saw Linlin and Liili fall to the ground earlier, he was genuinely angry; he really did care about them despite their rank as Heaven-level experts. Hao Ren still considered them naive young beauties who needed help in many aspects.

Lili tugged at Linlin and they lightly ran towards the handicraft club to pick up some small trinkets.

Hao Ren watched their backs and smiled helplessly. Turning around, he saw Xie Yujia talking with her brother Xie Wanjun. After a moment of thought, he left the gym.

The Nine Dragons Palace was still hanging high above the city's peak, supporting various barriers. From afar, it looked like glowing fireflies of cultivators circling around the palace incessantly.

Getting used to it is all that matters, getting used to it is all that matters, Hao Ren muttered silently as he went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Liu Qing was already back at school, which meant that Dragon Palace of East China had made a decision regarding the divine pills and the Nine Dragons Palace. Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu would be returning to land soon as well. For these days, they were busy with matters concerning the palace and neglected caring for Zhao Yanzǐ; it’s natural for them to worry.

The cultivation sects in the Fifth Layer Heaven held a trading conference at this weekend, which Hao Ren thought had something to do with forcibly entering the Nine Dragons Palace several days later. The reappearance of the Nine Dragons Palace prompted those cultivation sects above the Fifth Layer Heaven to want their share as well.

As he ate his meal, Hao Ren contemplated the situation.

"You're here Why did you run off earlier" Xie Yujia appeared beside him with her tray of food and sat down lightly beside him.

"I saw you talking to your brother and didn't want to disturb you," said Hao Ren.

Xie Yujia sighed, "You're not a stranger to my brother. Besides, he seems quite appreciative of you."

Hao Ren nodded slightly. "Something on your mind" Xie Yujia inquired again.

Hao Ren just smiled. How could one explain the presence of a large palace floating in the sky to her

"I feel like there's growing estrangement between us," said Xie Yujia, lowering her head as she took a small bite of food, looking somewhat dejected.

She was silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "Hao Ren, if I were to go to America with my brother, it shouldn't be problematic, right"

Hao Ren looked at her in slight surprise, clearly hearing the sound of his heart thudding inside him.

Xie Yujia is always aloof and distant, but if she suddenly leaves—

"I've been thinking about getting together with my parents. I’ve already contacted the school there." Xie Yujia picked up a few grains of rice with her chopsticks; her delicate nose exhaled a long breath.

She turned to look at Hao Ren, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Hao Ren's pupils began to tremble. There didn't seem to be any reason to keep Xie Yujia here, but letting her go felt wrong too.

"Have you been busy with this recently" Hao Ren asked.

She nodded in response.

Hao Ren was speechless.

The students around them came and went, but Hao Ren and Xie Yujia seemed to be moving in slow motion. Xie Yujia ate rice grain by grain, while Hao Ren quietly watched her.

Memories flashed through Hao Ren's mind: from the little girl chasing after him with seashells when they were young, to their separation later on, and then meeting this quiet girl in college; discovering how neat and fresh she was, and seeing her confess about her Little Brother on the rooftop.

Was it really going to end like this Just like most other relationships

Hao Ren felt that these few seconds seemed as long as several years.

The simple white shirt, the old bicycle, and the pile of books—would Xie Yujia in her black hair disappear from the campus

"Will you come to our class group activity this weekend" Xie Yujia suddenly asked Hao Ren.

"Hmm,"郝仁不由自主地點了點頭。

仔細想想，謝雨嘉的父母都在美國，以她的成績，在美國讀書也不會很吃力。她留在中國就是為了等待所謂的小哥哥，但是現在，小哥哥已經不再是她的小哥哥，我珍惜一分一秒，但她卻一點不在乎。

郝仁突然明白了為什麼她熱心地組織週末活動、拉著他去看社團的活動以及從體育館裡追出來與他一起吃午餐的原因。

因為謝雨嘉打算要去美國了。

這樣的決定是在郝仁跟她漸漸疏遠的時候慢慢滋生出來的。感情從平淡到驚喜，再從驚喜轉為黯然，最後變成失望。

小哥哥依舊是那個小哥哥，隻是在他的心裡似乎冇有她這個小蘿蔔的位置了。

"哦，對了，這是那位老婆婆讓我交給你的東西。"謝雨嘉放下筷子，打開書包拿出一本古舊的書籍放在郝仁麵前。“黃封麵上寫著四個古體大字：五行劍陣！”

“我也稍微翻了一下，不過裡麵的內容我看不懂，但老婆婆讓我給你，應該是有她的理由吧。”謝雨嘉淡然一笑說道。

"那個老婆婆不會說話，她是怎麼給你的？"郝仁問她。

"她會寫字。" 謝雨嘉端著餐盤站起來說，“好了，我去上課了”。

她輕快地向餐廳門口走去，但郝仁注意到，她買的一大堆飯菜甚至都冇有動過幾口。
