After walking out, the calm look on Hao Ren’s face gradually became awkward. He slightly added some strength to his hands so that he could pull them out of the sisters’ slim and jade-smooth arms, but Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were still holding Hao Ren’s arms tightly as if they didn’t want him to pull his hands out.
They accompanied Hao Ren on each side. Although the colors of their dresses were different, their figure and appearance were the same. Their silky black hair went all the way down to their waist.
It didn’t matter if it was from a distance or up close, both of them were absolutely perfect like jades without any blemishes. They were so elegant and gorgeous that it looked like they just came out of a poster.
They didn’t even ask who that girl was. As long as Hao Ren didn’t mention anything, they would stay beside him and remain silent.
After walking for a while, Hao Ren asked suddenly, “You have gotten your socks already, anywhere else you want to go?”
“We will go wherever Savior wants to go,” they answered in unison.
Hao Ren uttered a sigh. “Please don’t call me Savior.”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili turned around and looked at each other and then at Hao Ren. They said at the same time, “Gongzi.”
Their tone and the angelical voices could stun anyone who has heard it.
Hao Ren took another deep breath and said helplessly, “Just call me Hao Ren.”
“No!” Lu Linlin shook her head immediately. “Gongzi is the person who saved our lives; neither of us would ever be disrespectful to Gongzi.”
“Fine.” Hao Ren didn’t want to deal with them anymore. “I have class later, so please stop following me around.”
The sisters looked at each other again. This time, the younger sister Lu Lili said, “Linlin and Lili will comply with your wishes. Since Gongzi doesn’t want us to follow you, we will go now. However, Gongzi can call us whenever you need us. My older sister and I have already made the promise that we will serve Gongzi for 100 years to return Gongzi’s favor. Therefore…”
Hao Ren interrupted, “Alright, alright, I got it now. I don’t really need your help at the moment. You can go back now.”
Lu Lili nodded before taking out a small white jade bell that was tied onto a beautiful string. She lifted Hao Ren’s left arm regardless of Hao Ren’s reaction and carefully put it on for him.
“Inside the bell, there is a wisp of Spirit Energy from my older sister and I. Anytime Gongzi needs us, you can simply think of us without using any Dharma spells and slightly shake the bell. My older sister and I will fly to wherever Gongzi is,” after bending her back to tie the bell tightly on Hao Ren, Lu Lili explained to him.
“Ok.” Hao Ren had nothing else to say and could only nod.
There were two Mount Tai Bracelets from Su Han on his wrists, and there was a necklace also from Su Han on his neck that was decorated with an amber pendant that was from Zhao Yanzi. Now with the small bell given by the sisters, he was wearing more and more things…
“Wait,” Hao Ren suddenly remembered something and asked, “You just said that you had been fighting against the chill from the millennium black ice for the past 200 years with the help from Lili, and you both only have a little bit of energy left?”
Hearing the question from Hao Ren, Lu Lili nodded immediately. “Yes, Gongzi! Our energies could only last ten years, but it won’t be a problem anymore. We are free right now and do not need to consume our energies. My older sister and I will cultivate again and enhance our power in order to ensure the safety of Gongzi!”
“Hasn’t Su Han said that each of them possessed top-tier Kun-level power? She probably exaggerated the fact; they only have about 5% of their original power left,” he thought.
Wondering about this in his mind, Hao Ren asked them, “Does that mean you two only have 5% of the power of a top-tier Kun-level Master to use now?”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Gongzi, the techniques we cultivate are different from the ones in the Dragon Tribe. Thus, the level of our power isn’t ranked by ‘Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan’. However, the power that we can use right now is probably at the Kun-level if we convert it to this ranking system.”
Hao Ren was too stunned to move after hearing her answer.
“What?! The remaining ten-year energy is equivalent to Kun-level in the Dragon Tribe?!!” If they wait until their powers fully recover…… Em… No wonder Su Han, who is always so calm and known as a master, couldn’t even keep still!” he thought.
Noticing that the look on Hao Ren’s face changed, Lu Lili said in haste, “You can rest assured, Gongzi. Although my older sister and I have limited power at the moment, we will still try our best to ensure your safety! Meanwhile, my older sister and I will concentrate on cultivating to recover our lost strength so that we can have the actual qualifications to serve Gongzi!”
The older sister Lu Linlin kept nodding as the younger sister Lu Lili explained. They seemed guilty, probably because they thought the remaining power they had wasn’t enough to protect Hao Ren, which made it sound like a joke.
Receiving no response from Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other again, realizing that they might have talked too much. They said to Hao Ren, “Gongzi, please call us if you need us, Linlin and Lili should get going!”
Then, they held onto each other’s hands. Lu Lili waved her hand and was about to make a move, but Lu Linlin reminded her instantly. Lu Lili realized her mistake and nodded, and then both of them walked into the campus.
Hao Ren knew clearly that he would be drowning in questions from those gossipy guys if he went back to the dorm right now. Therefore, he started to walk around the campus and began cultivating the Spirit Concentration Scroll to enhance the third level.
It was finally lunch time. Hao Ren had some lunch then went to the class in the lecture hall; textbooks weren’t really necessary for a big class like this. Hao Ren went in the lecture hall without anything and saw Zhao Jiayi and the other guys already sitting in the good spots in the last row; Xie Yujia was also there and sitting in the first row.
Seeing Hao Ren showing up at the front door, Xie Yujia stood up suddenly and went to the door. “Hao Ren, can I have a few words with you?”
Hao Ren was quite confused but still nodded.
Xie Yujia then walked out of the lecture hall, and Hao Ren followed her out. Outside the lecture hall, there was a patio area that could be accessed through the glass door.
Hao Ren went out with Xie Yujia, thinking of all the possible topics she could be wanting to talk about.
“I have been thinking a lot at home last weekend,” Xie Yujia said.
“Em? About what?” Hao Ren thought Xie Yujia was going to ask about the sisters, but she didn’t mention it at all, which puzzled him.
“It is about, me getting too close to you recently.”
Looking at Hao Ren, Xie Yujia continued, “I used to think that ‘a straight foot has no fear of a crooked shoe’; I taught you how to play basketball because I wanted you to do well in the match. I don’t care about the others’ opinions.”
“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded and got nervous suddenly. He didn’t know if this was the right time to tell her who he really was since there were only the two of them at the moment.
“However, I thought about it last weekend and realized that it was my mistake. I think you are a nice guy after I got to know more about you, so I gradually started to see you as my good friend. At first, I was just curious, but later I couldn’t help but get closer to you. Sometimes, I find it may be overbearing. Thus, after struggling for a long time, I think it is better to make it clear,” Xie Yujia said in a sincere and apologetic voice.
Hao Ren uttered a sigh of relief. “Is it another Goodperson Card for me?”
He showed a bitter smile and replied, “That’s ok, I know Class President already has someone she likes.”
“Yes.” Xie Yujia nodded slightly.
Hao Ren thought for a while and asked, “Can I know who he is?”
Xie Yujia bit her lips before turning around to look at the sky and clouds. “You are my good friend now, so don’t laugh at me once I tell you.”
She took a deep breath and said, “The person I like, is actually a Little Older Brother I knew since I was little.”
