Dragon King's Son-In-Law

“Yes. If you have any elders who want to visit, invite them along,” Hao Ren answered.

“Ok!” Xu Ke nodded and took out his writing from his bag before handing it to two club members who had carried a ladder over.

Then, they hung Xu Ke’s work on the wall.

[It will be the Eighth of September when the wind blows in the autumn, and the chrysanthemums are going to blossom while all other flowers are dead. Fragrance rushed into the sky of Chang’an City, and golden armors will be everywhere.]

Written on a wide scroll, Xu Ke’s characters were as big as two fists, and the word ‘dead’ stood out aggressively.

The poem was said to be written by Huan Chao, an ancient rebel leader, and the words seemed matching for the Autumn after the Moon Festival.

However, with Xu Ke’s identity as a metal-elemental dragon, the poem seemed to have a hidden meaning. The young dragon cultivators changed their expressions when they saw Xu Ke’s work.

The strokes of the characters revealed intense murderous spirits despite the poetic words.

[Golden armors will be everywhere.] It meant that the metal-elemental dragons who were golden in their dragon forms would soon break into East Ocean City and take charge!

“Your writing is very good,” the Principal looked at Xu Ke’s work and said in appreciation.

“Thank you, Principal.” Xu Ke smiled bashfully and walked away like any of the students who were a little afraid of him.

Hao Ren looked up at the poem which was written by Xu Ke and gritted his teeth.

[The chrysanthemums are going to blossom while all other flowers are dead.] The metal-elemental dragons always thought that they were above the other elemental dragon clans including the East Ocean Dragon Clan.

The metal-elemental dragon cultivators admired ultimate strength and were even indifferent to the lives of their own cultivators while they pursued higher realms, let alone the lives of other cultivators. For the metal-elemental dragons, they would kill anyone who offended them!

“Club President, should we take it off the wall?” A vice president of the club proposed to Lu Qi as they walked to Hao Ren’s side and asked in a low voice.

“Forget it. Leave it here.” Hao Ren waved his hand.

Xu Ke’s work showed his arrogance and provocation, but Hao Ren could tolerate it since Xu Ke was a club member and the literal meaning of the words of the poem was fine.

After all, strength was determined through fights, not words.

“Gongzi!”

While Hao Ren was distracted by the writing, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili who were wearing cyan and green short skirts walked in and ran to Hao Ren’s side cheerfully. Xie Yujia was behind them.

They had wanted to help Hao Ren set up the venue, but they had classes in the morning, and Hao Ren had enough members to do all the work.

After two classes, they decided to skip the other two and came to visit Hao Ren’s club event.

Seeing the Lu sisters, the Principal smiled at Lu Qing who looked helpless. Lu Qing’s two ‘granddaughters’ liked Hao Ren, and he could say nothing about it.

Disregarding the Principal, the Lu sisters pulled Hao Ren with them to admire the works. Not wanting to keep the Principal company, Hao Ren liked the Lu sisters’ interruption.

Watching the Lu sisters holding Hao Ren’s arms on both sides while the beautiful Xie Yujia followed them, the other girls lamented that they had no chance with Hao Ren.

It would take at least an entire day to see all the 1,000 plus pieces, but the Lu sisters had a high standard, and they only commented on the really good ones.

Although Xie Yujia had practiced calligraphy when she was young, her skills were no match for the works on exhibition, and she could do nothing but admire them.

However, what she admired more were Hao Ren’s leadership and charisma. After all, 500 students were a large group, and it was the first time that the great hall of the library exhibited over 1,000 works at the same time.

However, Hao Ren had set up the venue within two classes. The seemingly random order of the works created aisles, so one could study four to five works at one spot or glance at them on a quick tour.

Hao Ren had arranged all this in his mind, just as a general did with his troops.

“Yujia, this is for you.” When Xie Yujia looked back at him, Hao Ren quickened his steps and placed an object into her palm.

The background of the black characters and white rice paper accentuated Xie Yujia’s elegant figure.

Xie Yujia opened her palm and saw the red jade thumb ring.

The red color looked warm and low-key. Like a precious red stone, it lay on her white palm quietly.

“This is…” Xie Yujia looked up.

“Thumb ring. It can protect your thumb when you shoot arrows,” Hao Ren said.

“Ok.” Xie Yujia put it on her thumb, and the red thumb ring looked like a pretty finger ring on her white and tender thumb.

“Thank you,” Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren and said gently.

“It’s nothing. We can change it if we get a better one.” Hao Ren caressed her hair.

With a blush, Xie Yujia smiled sweetly.

“Gongzi, you’re not fair! We want gifts too,” the Lu sisters leaned over and said.

Hao Ren flicked his fingers and lightly knocked their foreheads. “These are for you!”

“Auch…” The Lu sisters pouted unhappily.

It was almost noon, and the Principal told the cafeteria to send over 500 lunch boxes to the Calligraphy Club at the school’s expense.

This calligraphy exhibition was the best club event that the Principal had ever seen!

“Hahaha! Principal Liu, you called us to visit a small club event at your school. Aren’t your overdoing it?”

Several bearded men and seniors walked up from the stairs while holding umbrellas, and they teased the Principal who stood at the gate of the library.

As renowned calligraphy masters in East Ocean City, they were all of the prestigious statuses, and Principal Liu invited them to the exhibition through the phone.

From Principal Liu’s phone call, they learned that East Ocean University’s Calligraphy Club had an event which according to Principal Liu was awesome. They were invited to the exhibition to give some feedback to the students, but they didn’t think that the young students at the university could produce any good works. However, to show their respect to Principal Liu and to help the juniors, they came anyway even though it was raining.

“Hahaha! Don’t say that I didn’t give you a warning.” Principal Liu who was usually a serious man laughed louder than the guests and ushered them into the library.

“This is good. I guess that it took at least one day to finish.” The leading calligraphy master stroke his beard and praised Hao Ren’s work at the entrance before entering the great hall of the library.

Judging from Hao Ren’s work, they thought that there were indeed some talented young people in here. Nodding, the calligraphy masters walked in to see the rest of the works, ready to leave some writings here to encourage and inspire the juniors in East Ocean University.

The Arts Program of East Ocean University was quite famous, but it was renowned for western arts, and its traditional Chinese painting branch was not as good as the other schools.

As a calligraphy lover, Principal Liu often showed these calligraphy masters his calligraphic works, but he could never reach their level. It was just entertainment among friends.

These masters were all professors in other schools, and those schools had their own calligraphy clubs.

Without first-class calligraphy professors, East Ocean University had established the Calligraphy Club.

“This…” However, when they walked into the great hall of the library, they were dumbfounded.

Pieces of calligraphic works came into their sights, and they felt as if someone had stolen the original works of the ancient calligraphy masters from the museums!

The levels of these writings far surpassed their imagination! They probably couldn’t even produce such high-level works!

Their astonishment was no less than that of Principle Liu’s when he first saw the works!

“Hahahaha… The works of the kids are passable, right?” Seeing their astonishment, Principal Liu asked with a laugh.

He felt great! These masters belittled his calligraphic works, but now he was feeling great!

“I’m not talented, but the students in my East Ocean University are the first-class calligraphy masters in the country! The Calligraphy Club of East Ocean University is the best in the country!” he thought to himself.

Proud! He felt proud!

No other school could produce more than 1,000 masterpieces!

The calligraphy masters who thought of coming here to inspire the juniors blushed and didn’t dare to mention leaving writings in East Ocean University!

Any of the calligraphic works here was better than theirs! The calligraphy masters who were used to people begging for their works couldn’t believe their eyes!

After the shock passed, they began to study the works they liked!

Two of them walked to Xu Ke’s work and began to study it in earnest.

When they saw the word ‘dead’ at the end of the second row, they retreated half a step with shock.

Snap! Snap! Someone walked up and supported them so that they wouldn’t fall.

They looked back and saw a guy in a white shirt support their backs with his hands.

“Club President, many elders have arrived at the entrance of the library,” a young girl said to this guy after running over.”
