Chapter 9: Your Identity Is...

  (Hehe, if you think it's okay, I hope everyone collects and recommends!)

  The automatic door of the conference room opened with a creak...

  A dozen or so old and young people poured out from inside. Zhao Yanzi rushed to the front, facing Hao Ren, and let out a loud "hmm".

  Hao Ren was baffled by her humming, thinking to himself what he had done wrong this time. He lost his own stuff and then dragged him over, luckily his old man was still a reasonable person, otherwise wouldn't she have played him to death?

  While others passed by Hao Ren's face and walked out of the office, their eyes glanced at Hao Ren, all with some unusual expressions.

  Soon, Zhao Guang took Zhao Yanzi and left the office as well. He wanted to personally send his daughter back to school. As for what he would say to persuade her on the way, that was not something Hao Ren could know about.

  In the office, only Lu Changlao with white eyebrows and hair and Hao Ren were left.

  Hao Ren looked at him, waiting for him to speak first. These past few days, he had experienced too many strange and bizarre things, his mind was already reeling and he no longer tried to make sense of the causes and consequences.

  "Is it Hao Ren?" Lu Zhang sat down kindly in front of Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren stared at him, "Hmm, you are..."

  "Hehe, you can just call me Master Lu." Master Lu looked at Hao Ren with a warm smile, "Are you feeling a bit lost?"

  "It's fine." Hao Ren replied stubbornly.

  Lu Zhang still looked at Hao Ren with kindness, "You will experience more things in the future."

  "Hmm?" Hao Ren responded slightly, waiting for him to continue speaking.

  "What do you think of this little girl, Ah Zi?" Lü Changlao suddenly changed the subject and asked.

  "Unreasonable, arbitrary, self-willed, impolite, and self-righteous..." Hao Ren said.

  Lu Zhang laughed and interrupted Hao Ren, "Actually, Ah Zi is still a very lovely girl."

  "Honestly, I didn't think so..." Hao Ren said immediately.

  "You will know gradually later." Lu Zhang said calmly and unhurriedly.

  "What's next?" Hao Ren looked at him in surprise.

  "Yes, from now on you will have a fairly long period of common life." Lu Zhanglao smiled and looked at Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren felt something was off, "Why?"

  "Our boss has a high opinion of you and thinks you can be his son-in-law," said Lao Lao Zhang.

  Hao Ren almost popped his eyeballs out when he heard this sentence.

  Are you kidding me?! That Ah Zi is just a 15-year-old junior high school student, okay?! I'm only 19 years old myself, okay?!

  "Do you think the bead you swallowed is an ordinary one?" Lu Zhang continued.

  Hao Ren recalled that when he caught Zhao Yanzi, something like a candy had fallen into his mouth.

  "What is it?" Hao Ren asked.

  "Dragon's Den." Lu Zhang slowly spat out two words.

  Hao Ren stared blankly at him, suspecting that his whole family was crazy.

  "Dragon, soaring through the nine heavens, are you envious?" asked Lu Zhanglao.

  Hao Ren shook his head.

  "Dragon, change heaven and earth, envy?" Lu Zhanglao asked again.

  Hao Ren shook his head again.

  "Dragon..." Old Man Lu wanted to continue speaking.

  Hao Ren still shook his head.

  Lu Zhang's old face pulled down, "If you don't listen to me, that pearl will take your life at any time."

  Seeing Hao Ren still full of doubts, Lu Zhanglao spread out his palm, and suddenly a bright blue water droplet appeared in the center of his palm.

  "Now the pearl in your belly is like the water droplet on my palm," said Lu Zhanglao, ignoring Hao Ren's shocked expression, slowly lifting the water droplet from his palm, "However, as time changes..."

  The water droplet in his palm gradually grew larger and larger, until it was as big as his entire hand.

  The surface of this azure giant water droplet clearly reflected Hao Ren's face.

  "Finally, it will..." Old Master Lu gazed at this water droplet.

  Bang!

  A water droplet suddenly burst and splashed water all over Hao Ren's body.

  Hao Ren was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.

  Lu Zhang laughed and pointed at Hao Ren's belly.

  Hao Ren thought about the moment when the water droplet burst and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

  "I have a set of mental techniques here, take it back and cultivate it well, remember not to let others discover it. This technique can suppress the dragon dan in your body and avoid you exploding to death soon." Lu Changlao suddenly pulled out an ancient book like a magic trick and placed it in Hao Ren's palm.

  "Who are you?" Hao Ren asked. He only felt his brain buzzing, a bit confused, and hard to accept the various chaotic information.

  "We are..." Lu Zhang intentionally paused for a moment, leaning in close to Hao Ren's ear, "Dragon Clan."

  Hao Ren took a step back, looking at this old man who was being deliberately mysterious, and no matter how he looked at him, he felt that he was just a small peddler selling so-called martial arts secrets near the City God Temple.

  But he couldn't figure out how Hao Ren managed to conjure up water droplets out of thin air.

  Is this a new form of deception? Faced with the complex society, Hao Ren is somewhat skeptical of his own understanding.

  "I know it's hard to accept all at once, but some things I believe you will gradually get used to." Lu Zhang patted Hao Ren's shoulder kindly, "You are now one of us, guarding our common secret is protecting yourself."

  Hao Ren gazed at him with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself: If you're really from the Dragon Clan, shouldn't you be more... majestic? Still soaring through the nine heavens? Still changing the world?

  Hao Ren would rather believe that this was a complex scam than believe that they were super strong like American Superman hiding in the city.

  "It seems that you still can't be fully trusted." Lu Zhanglao gazed at Hao Ren, suddenly recalling the ancient book in his hand and replacing it with another palm pressed against Hao Ren's forehead.

  Suddenly, a large piece of glittering golden text appeared in Hao Ren's mind, and just as he was still wondering what was going on, Lu Zhanglao withdrew his hand.

  "This is the first article of 'Jing Shen Jue', a very simple and basic method. If you meditate for half an hour every night, you can grasp the basics. In the future, I will regularly test your homework, if it doesn't meet my requirements, there will be corresponding punishment." said Lu Zhanglao with a kind face.

  "My god, this old man... who would have thought... looks harmless but is actually so overbearing... when did I agree to practice this thing..."

  Hao Ren looked at him with both shock and anger.

  "Don't worry, these skills will benefit you without any harm. On the contrary, if you don't practice, you'll fall into danger. From today on, I'm your guardian in our circle. If you encounter any problems, you can call me..." Lu Zhang Lao handed over a business card to Hao Ren's face.

  There's even a business card... This so-called Dragon Clan, is it too professional or too unprofessional?

  Hao Ren was speechless as he took the business card, but when he saw the information on it again, he suddenly froze - Donghai University's Executive Vice President, Lu Qing.

  "Remember your identity, from today on, you are not only a student of Donghai University, but also... " Lu Qing patted Hao Ren's forehead with his hand, "the Dragon King's son-in-law!"
