mmediately became even more respectful. "Master Sun has arranged a special place for you. Please follow me."Hao Ren nodded and followed him closely. This disciple had no aura of light; if he was not d...Chapter 566: Little Beauty, Little Manipulator

Zhao Yanzǐ noticed Zhen Cōngmíng and Wu Luoxuě walk in and widened her eyes slightly.

Dressing in middle school uniforms and coming to Donghai University's cafeteria was already conspicuous enough for her and Xiaoling; the appearance of these two elementary school students made it even more so.

"This is Zhao Yanzǐ, I'll introduce you later." Zhen Cōngmíng tugged at Wu Luoxuě, pointed to Zhao Yanzǐ, then walked past her directly.

Zhao Yanzǐ felt a pang in her chest and glared at Zhen Cōngmíng. She thought, How rude! I'm still a ninth grader; he should at least call me "sister"!

Zhen Cōngmíng paid no mind to Zhao Yanzǐ's reaction. He tugged Wu Luoxuě further in and approached Hao Ren directly, pushing Hao Ren's waist with his palm. "Hey! Buy my girlfriend some food!"

Hao Ren, who was waiting in line for food, never thought Zhen Cōngmíng would show up here, much less bring Wu Luoxuě along. He became quite surprised.

Over the course of a summer break, he actually managed to do it!

This was the speed of today's elementary school students!

Suddenly, Wu Luoxuě retracted her hand slightly and remained silent.

Zhen Cōngmíng, seeing no response from Hao Ren, shouted again, "Buy my girlfriend some food!"

Hao Ren's face turned dark with frustration. He thought, There are actually people who can be so brazen when mooching off others Looking at Wu Luoxuě's indifferent reaction, Hao Ren knew that Zhen Cōngmíng had simply declared her his "girlfriend"...

Ugh, there should be limits to shamelessness!

"Xiao Xue, I'll treat you to a meal." Hao Ren sidestepped past Zhen Cōngmíng and bent down to tell Wu Luoxuě.

Wu Luoxuě nodded quietly and softly said, "Thank you Uncle!"

Pah!

Hearing her weakly addressing him as "Uncle," Hao Ren felt as if he'd been struck by lightning from the heavens.

Un… Uncle! Wu Luoxuě is not at all adorable!

"Xiao Xue, I'll treat you." Xie Yujia squatted down and patted Wu Luoxuě's head as she said.

"Okay, thank you Sister," Wu Luoxuě nodded again and spoke in a light tone.

Sis… Sister!

The heavens struck Hao Ren with an invisible bolt of lightning once more.

"Haha, Little Snow is really well-behaved!" The Lu sisters accompanying Hao Ren were also very fond of the delicate Wu Luoxue. They pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Hey! Can you buy me a meal" Zhen Caiming shouted at Hao Ren again.

Hao Ren didn't even look at him, throwing out two words, "Call me brother."

Zhen Caiming gritted his teeth, wanting to get angry but also wanting to maintain his image. After holding back for a while and seeing that Hao Ren had already reached the window where food was served, he whispered, "Brother... can you get me a set meal"

"That's more like it..." Hao Ren didn't argue with him, placing his campus card on the machine. "Get me four sets of pork cutlet meals!"

He picked up two and handed them to Zhen Caiming, then took another two towards Zhao Yanzi who was sitting over there.

Xie Yujia had already paid for Wu Luoxue's meal. She carefully held her chicken breast set meal and sat beside Zhao Yanzi.

Zhen Caiming smiled ingratiatingly, pushing the tray of food towards Wu Luoxue before moving to sit next to her.

Wu Luoxue ignored him, holding her chopsticks with delicate little hands, eating quietly. Her mother had already prepared a loving lunch for her at home; yet Zhen Caiming insisted on dragging her around Donghai University.

During the summer vacation, Wu Luoxue stayed home reading books, painting, and practicing piano, as if Zhen Caiming didn't exist in her life. Yet he always pulled her to play games or buy ice cream. She was neither annoyed nor fond of him; she simply went through an unusual summer.

However, Zhen Caiming thought differently. He felt that they had become close friends over the summer vacation, so as soon as school started, he brought Wu Luoxue to "tour" Donghai University, as if it was his personal garden and she was his concubine.

If he knew that Wu Luoxue only came because her father told her to get along with him—not out of any affection towards him—he wouldn't know how devastated he would be...

Wu Luoxue ate slowly, delicately, and with grace. Zhao Yanzi wolfed down her food; halfway through the meal, she turned around and saw Wu Luoxue eating so quietly, then noticed Hao Ren looking at her from across the table, immediately blushing half to death...

Hao Ren's eyes showed a hint of affection towards Zhao Yanzi. She reminded herself to stay cautious around Hao Ren but couldn't help feeling sweet inside.

"Ahem... Ahem..." Zhao Yanzi patted her chest, pretending she was choking on something, then took a sip of soup and followed Wu Luoxue's slow eating style.

For the first time, Zhao Yanzi realized that she still needed to maintain some decorum...

Hao Ren didn't care whether Zhao Yanzi was reserved or unrestrained; naturally unreserved Zhao Yanzi was very cute indeed.

After lunch, Hao Ren went to find Lu Qi in front of the library. Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters followed him. Zhao Yanzi saw that there was still a bit of time before afternoon break ended, so she gave her bike to Xiao Ling and joined Hao Ren at the library.

Xiao Ling stared at Zhao Yanzi with a puffed-out chest, thinking how Zhao Yanzi always said she had "no sense of propriety around guys," but wasn't she just as bad

Zhen Caiming and Wu Luoxue came out of the cafeteria too. Zhen Caiming hesitated before reaching out to hold Wu Luoxue's hand, but this time she didn't allow it; raising her hand, she let him reach an empty space, making his heart itch.

"Brother Hao!" Lu Qi, who was hosting the Go Society recruitment event for the next day, saw Hao Ren and greeted him.

"Ah..." Hao Ren walked over. "Where is the meeting place for the Calligraphy Club"

"Room 101 on the F floor, the largest lecture hall in our school. The time is one o'clock in the afternoon." Lu Qi answered.

"Okay." Hao Ren nodded. The establishment of this "Calligraphy Club" would gather all the cultivators in the school together, no longer as chaotic as before.

"Also, President Lu personally assigned us a club office. It's Room 302 on the E floor, an independent large office." Lu Qi said.

Hao Ren smiled helplessly, thinking that this arrangement by Lu Qing would definitely cause another round of gossip in the school and at least make other student clubs jealous—no one else had such a treatment as an independent large office, not even Huang Xujie's rock climbing club.

Lu Qi looked at Zhao Yanzi, who was walking closely beside Hao Ren, thinking that this must be the little princess of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Wearing middle school uniform, she is still very pretty.

Lu Qi did not belong to the water dragon tribe and his own dragon palace was far from the Eastern Sea, so he didn't have much respect for the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. On the contrary, Hao Ren's personal strength and style of action were more admirable to him.

"Xue, they actually also play chess!" Zhen Cunming saw several Go stones on the long table in front of the Go club and said to Wu Luoxue.

Zhen Cunming's words were mainly intended to spark a conversation with Wu Luoxue. However, his rude tone only aroused the discontent of the members of the Go Club.

Where did this little student come from This is Go, not Gomoku!

Zhen Cunming took the opportunity to grab Wu Luoxue's delicate wrist and walked a few steps forward to take a look at the preset chess game.

Wu Luoxue pulled her wrist away; she was somewhat repelled by Zhen Cunming casually touching her, but not angry enough to flare up.

Zhen Cunming glanced at the chess game and picked up a black piece casually, placing it on the board.

"Ah! Little kid, you can't just touch this!" A member of the Go Club hurriedly shouted. These chess games were copies of matches between their president Lu Qi and experts to test new members; if they were messed up by a little student, it would take a lot of time to restore them from memory.

"62 black pieces, 62 white pieces. It should be the turn for black." Zhen Cunming said.

The member responsible for this chess game looked at Zhen Cunming in astonishment. A quick glance could tell him the number of stones; this...

Wu Luoxue came over to watch Zhen Cunming play Go. She didn't have any feelings towards Zhen Cunming, but she did have some interest in Go.

The member responsible for the chess game pondered a bit and picked up a white piece, placing it on the board.

Zhen Cunming almost without thinking put down the second black stone.

The member followed by putting another white stone. A student who could play Go was rare, but there were now Go interest classes in elementary schools; this member wanted to see how long this rather good-looking little boy could last.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Black and white pieces fell onto the board one after another.

"This..." After ten minutes, a member held a white piece in his hand, realizing he didn't know where to place it on the board anymore.

Not sure if it was the midday heat or nervous tension, he was drenched in sweat but didn’t have time to wipe it off. He was an amateur 5-dan player with considerable strength, yet he had been relentlessly suppressed by Zhen Ciming until he could no longer retaliate.

Lü Qi stared intently at the board and thought of several places where he could place a white piece but felt they were unsuitable.

"It should be here." Wu Luoxue said softly, pointing to a cross point on the board with her little finger.

With a furrowed brow, Lü Qi suddenly had an epiphany. The society member who was playing against Zhen Ciming felt an immediate relief of pressure and quickly placed the white piece.

The moment this white piece was placed, the oppressed position seemed to gain some vitality.

Lü Qi looked at the calm expression on this little girl’s face in astonishment. He sensed that her Go skills were not inferior to his!

"Then I’ll place it here!" Zhen Ciming put down another black piece, changing the layout of the board.

"Here." Wu Luoxue pointed again.

The society member holding the white pieces almost became a puppet controlled by Wu Luoxue and placed the white piece according to her instructions.

"Here!" Zhen Ciming dropped another black piece.

"Here," Wu Luoxue gently pointed again.

The black and white pieces engaged in an intense battle. Hao Ren, who couldn’t understand Go, felt that the two sides were evenly matched, but Lü Qi was thrilled and excited.

This was a clash between top-tier experts! Even amateur players at the highest level of 7-dan could not achieve this standard!

Tap tap tap tap...

The pieces spread out on the board. Wu Luoxue finally picked up a white piece and placed it herself.

"You..." Wu Luoxue tilted her head, "lost."

Zhen Ciming gritted his teeth, with his eyebrows almost touching in frustration. After looking for several seconds, he finally returned the black pieces to the bowl, feeling a mixture of anger and resentment.

"You are too weak," Wu Luoxue said somewhat cheerfully.

Lü Qi looked at the board and couldn’t immediately determine who had won. After calculating several moves ahead, he suddenly realized that the black pieces were truly in a dead end.

Hao Ren, watching Wu Luoxue, suddenly noticed how cunning this little beauty was. To strike Zhen Ciming down didn't even require physical punishment...
