The exact word count of this chapter is 1000 words.
"Training" Hao Ren's heart suddenly beat wildly, causing him to drop his phone.
"Haha, nothing much, I was watching TV and saw it. The weather has been a little cool recently, so do take care of yourself." Xie Yujia continued speaking.
"Yeah, you rest well too," Hao Ren replied, suddenly feeling that such concern seemed a bit... ambiguous
"When grandma comes back, I'll come over to see her again," said Xie Yujia softly before hanging up the call.
With his mobile phone in hand, Hao Ren felt slightly warm inside. At least Zhao Zhanzi would never think about telling him to wear more clothes when it's cold.
Taking a deep breath, Hao Ren continued sitting in meditation with legs crossed, feeling at ease and thus naturally resolving any inner knots or concerns. Multicolored rays of light flickered around his body, the result of combining the effects of Swordlight Technique and Focus Meditation’s internal energy being released externally.
These subtle sword energies were circulating both inside and outside Hao Ren's body. Unconsciously, the Level 3 Rank C hao ren had reached a state of oneness with his sword.
The dragon egg in his seven open acupoints was absorbing and emitting internal and external spiritual energy, extracting and refining all five elements into his meridians and blood vessels.
With just three more acupoints to go, he would reach the Level 3 Rank B. Reaching this level would be another significant breakthrough.
Meditating until midnight, Hao Ren opened his eyes and felt alone as usual. Life is indeed lonely like snow.
Drip drip, outside it was drizzling lightly.
The raindrops slid down from the eaves of Hao Ren's bedroom, forming a slow yet rhythmic tapping sound.
Unable to sit still for meditation and unable to sleep comfortably due to tossing and turning, he endured until daytime. Feeling the coolness outside, even though hungry, Hao Ren didn't want to get out from under his blankets.
This laziness in rainy weather spread throughout the house. Boredom indeed set in; picking up a book wouldn’t make sense either.
Had it not been for Zhao Zhanzi’s uncle's heavenly tribulation, Hao Ren would have gone to help Zhao Hongyu at her design studio this weekend.
Just as he was struggling with whether or not to get up, a soft "young master" call almost made him leap out of bed.
Luli and Lu Li came in, smiling widely in their light blue casual wear.
"Why are you here" Hao Ren pulled the blanket over himself and縮到牆角。
"We came to take care of Master," Lu Linlin smiled and approached, suddenly pulling back Hao Ren's blankets. She then handed him a neat set of clothes: "Master, it’s time to get up and change."
"Your breakfast is already in the living room downstairs." Lu Lili, who had two long ponytails, also squinted her eyes as she said this with a smile.
Seeing that Guai Ren was still motionless, Lu Linlin continued: "Should we assist you to get dressed"
"No need! No need!" Hao Ren quickly waved his hands and added: "Please leave."
Lu Linlin covered her mouth with a chuckle while Lu He Li also lowered her head in laughter. They exchanged looks before exiting satisfactorily, leaving Hao Ren to exhale deeply. He hurriedly changed out of his pajamas into the ordinary clothes.
For most boys, being followed by two beautiful ladies might be a blessing. But for Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s sudden appearances made him feel anxious and unprepared.
The most crucial issue was that these sisters from the Lu family were experts in martial arts; he couldn’t drive them away or beat them up. This kind of ‘attentive’ care could be seen as both a blessing and a torment.
Walking out of his room, Hao Ren went down to the ground floor where he saw a table filled with a sumptuous breakfast. He knew that these two sisters were capable cooks;勉強能吃就算是不錯了。至於上次那個蛋糕，讓趙嘉胤他們吃壞肚子，她們的解釋是因為“補氣丹”郝仁卻持著懷疑態度。
Seeing the abundance of food, Hao Ren didn't want to disappoint their efforts. He yawned, frowned, then sat down and started eating slowly.
Hmm This sandwich is very delicious…This grilled bread tastes good too...And this salad...
When Hao Ren showed a surprised expression, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili exchanged glances with smiles:
"Master, how do you think our cooking is"
Looking slightly astonished at them, Hao Ren said: "Pretty good."
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili immediately beamed even more beautiful, satisfied grins. In unison they exclaimed: "As long as Master enjoys it!"
Afterwards, each of them picked up a white apron and started bustling around the small villa to clean it. The originally quiet large house suddenly became lively with their presence.
"Master, we visited the old mistress yesterday," Lu Linlin said proficiently while using the vacuum cleaner.
"Oh" After finishing his meal, Hao Ren stood up.
"The old mistress is in good health. Master can rest assured," added Lu Lili.
Seeing them must have made Grandma happy. These two sisters from the Lu family are truly skilled at pleasing their elders, thought Hao Ren.
But then again, visiting Grandma and keeping her company all day required genuine care and effort.
Why did you suddenly decide to come over and clean for me Looking at them wearing aprons like...
...noon. Hao Ren was tidying up the dishes when he asked them something.
Today, they still had their hair in two ponytails—one single and one double—just like before; however, they wore those decorative glasses again.
Add to that their beautiful looks and slender figures: these elements combined really made them adorable!
"Young Master, we've come here to apologize," Lu Lili said while wiping the lamp with a cloth.
Apologize
"Yes, we shouldn't have quarreled with your class monitor that day," Lu Lili added.
Hao Ren thought back to how he had been somewhat stern to them before and felt guilty. "It's fine, just try not to argue with people in the future."
"Yes, Young Master!" Lu Linlin smiled as she agreed, but remained silent—she obviously still wasn't convinced by Xie Yujia and only came over to “apologize” after being dragged here by Lu Lili.
“Moreover, we have some good news for you,” Lu Lili suddenly became even more enthusiastic.
"What kind of good news" Hao Ren’s mood brightened up as well. Indeed, the room was gradually filled with vitality due to these two girls running around.
“Both my sister and I have successfully broken through!” Lu Lili’s eyes shone like stars.
"You’ve reached Lesser Heaven Level now" Hao Ren asked cautiously. He remembered Su Han saying that when Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were freed from the Dragon Palace, they already had Upper Earth Level strength!
“We don’t calculate our cultivation in this way, but according to Young Master’s method, it’s about right,” Lu Lili continued with a smile in her eyes.
The nodding Lu Linlin beside her was somewhat relieved as well.
Lesser Heaven Level! Lesser Heaven Level!
Two Heaven Level experts! Two Heaven Level experts who could work together seamlessly!
Su Han, whom the entire East Sea shied away from, was only Middle Heaven Level, while Zhao Kuo, on the verge of ascending to heaven, was merely Upper Heaven Level.
“We haven’t let Young Master down and have restored some of our power,” Lu Linlin said casually as she looked at Hao Ren.
"Yes, keep up the good work," Hao Ren nodded. In truth, he didn't know what else to say.
Their progress was obvious—after a short period of time, they would likely reach Middle Heaven Level! No wonder Su Han was so wary of these two sisters!
"By the way, Young Master’s cultivation seems to have improved too," Lu Lili observed carefully and said.
“Yes, I’ve already opened seven acupoints. If I continue to work hard, I should be able to reach Separation Level soon,” Hao Ren replied.
"Sir, you're amazing!" They praised him.
Eh" Hao Ren was sweating coldly. Compared to their advancement from Kun level to Gan level, his progress was minuscule!
"Also, it seems that Sir has joined the system of卑查官 (subordinate inspectors)" Lu L琳琳凝視著郝仁，說道。 Linlin said.
How do you know" Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.
"There's a faint golden flame mark on your forehead. That’s the public symbol of an inspector," Lu Linlin pointed to Hao Ren's forehead and explained.
Hao Ren couldn't see his own forehead, but he assumed it was one of those marks that could only be detected by spiritual power. Being an assistant inspector might not grant him any real authority, but it was a form of protection nonetheless.
Although he hadn’t expected Su Han to specially protect him, Hao Ren still felt grateful for her concern in his heart.
Seeing Lu Linlin's confused expression, Hao Ren explained, “I'm not an official inspector. I’m just the kind that occasionally runs errands for Su Han.”
Assistant inspector" Lu Linlin pouted and thought for a moment, "As far as I know, assistant inspectors usually don’t participate in matters of the Dragon God Temple unless it’s related to their assigned official inspector. However,
Lu Linlin paused, and Hao Ren suddenly felt something was amiss, “However, what”
“However, each year, assistant inspectors undergo an assessment. If they fail to pass smoothly, the consequences can be severe,” Lu Linlin said.
Damn it! Hao Ren nearly shouted!
The scheming Su Han actually pulled this trick again!
Hao Ren had thought she was being kind, but now he felt forced into a corner by her!
In Hao Ren's mind, the inspectors were equivalent to ancient Jinyiwei (Imperial guards), and just thinking about “the consequences can be severe” sent shivers down his spine!
“Yeah, based on what I know along with my sister, in the Dragon Clan’s inspector system, assistant inspectors are like reserves for official inspectors. Every year, there's a selection process where some will be eliminated. Only those truly capable can work alongside official inspectors and gradually become stronger until they pass the final test to become official inspectors,” Lu L莉莉也接上來，說道。 ili said.
Hearing this made Hao Ren’s teeth itch; he finally realized Su Han had tricked him onto a criminal ship!
"Assistant inspectors work with their assigned official inspector as partners, but they also have a hierarchical relationship. Official inspectors guide the training of assistant inspectors, while assistant inspectors help official inspectors complete tasks within their capacity," Lu L莉莉說道。 ili said.
“Wait, wait, wait,” Hao Ren hurriedly raised his hand to stop her. He already had a headache and wanted to ask about the most crucial part directly, “Can I return my status as an assistant inspector”
"Once you become an assistant inspector, your information is registered in their headquarters. Unless you pass various assessments and earn the qualifications of an official inspector, then proactively give up your status as an inspector, otherwise,擅自脫離審查官係統，會被直接抹殺的。”陸莉莉回答郝仁。 unauthorizedly leaving the inspector system will result in immediate annihilation," Lu Lili replied.
Annihilation… Hao Ren heard this harsh term again.
Life was truly as lonely as snow.middle-aged man’s face turned a dark purple, "You rely on Luo Jia to be powerful and rob cultivators from the Fifth Level of Heaven. You even snatch their storage bags. Did you think that I wouldn’t k...
