Hao Ren's two-hour tutoring session for Zhao Yanzǐ came to an end, which was also approaching the time when dragons in the Dragon Palace usually go to bed.

Hao Ren wanted to chat about other things, but Chancellor Xia's voice conveniently sounded from outside at that moment.

"Princess Zǐ! Your late-night snack is here!"

The so-called delivery of a midnight snack was actually a way for the staff to remind Hao Ren that as the son-in-law, he needed to leave Princess Zǐ's room.

Hao Ren had intended to chat about other things but now saw that it was time to go. Chancellor Xia treated him well, and Hao Ren did not want to cause trouble for him.

Chancellor Xia had explained the rules to Hao Ren quietly when he dropped him off at the Dragon Palace's entrance last night.

Hao Ren now held the title of "son-in-law," but strictly speaking, he was still not a full-fledged son-in-law. When a princess from the Dragon Palace got married, it would be an elaborate and grand event with banquets. Therefore, before officially getting married, Hao Ren could at most be considered a probationary or trial period son-in-law.

...

In the Dragon Palace, he still needed to follow the palace's rules. The son-in-law could not stay in the princess’s chambers for too long if she had not officially been married off yet. Of course, if Zhao Guang allowed it, that would be another matter.

However, Zhao Yanzǐ was currently under house arrest at the Dragon Palace, and Hao Ren's entrance into her palace was already an exception by Chancellor Xia’s standards. If Hao Ren stayed too long or even overnighted there, Chancellor Xia's responsibility as the chief administrator of the Dragon Palace would increase significantly.

Moreover, it was precisely because Hao Ren was not yet a true son-in-law that some senior elders had room to meddle. Temporarily setting aside this unimportant position and getting rid of the big trouble from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was something they were willing to do.

"Son-in-law Hao!"

Seeing no response inside, Chancellor Xia called out again from outside.

"Coming!" Hao Ren answered and turned to look at Zhao Yanzǐ before heading toward the door.

Zhao Yanzǐ sighed slightly, feeling a bit sulky because of all the rules in the Dragon Palace. That was why she didn't like returning there very much.

When Hao Ren walked out, Chancellor Xia, with a friendly smile on his face, was already standing outside. A palace maid next to him immediately carried an exquisite meal box into the courtyard.

Hao Ren entered Zhao Yanzi's small black room and came out exactly one hour later. Prime Minister Xia, who oversees the internal affairs of the Dragon Palace, is quite clear about when Hao Ren arrived at the palace.

"Ahem..." Prime Minister Xia turned around; although his relationship with Hao Ren was rather friendly, he still had to adhere to the limit of one hour. There's always some awkwardness when dealing with both human relations and regulations.

"Prime Minister Xia," said Hao Ren as he followed closely behind, "Who is Zhao Haoran" Hearing this name, Prime Minister Xia shuddered before respectfully answering, "He’s the old dragon king of the East Sea."

"Oh Is that Zhao Yanzi's grandfather then" Hao Ren immediately questioned. He had been holding back his curiosity for two days and managed to suppress it yesterday, but seeing Prime Minister Xia's awkwardness today, he used this question as an icebreaker.

"The old dragon king has retired over twenty years ago and lives in seclusion outside the world," said Prime Minister Xia with utmost caution when talking about Zhao Haoran.

Hao Ren guessed that Prime Minister Xia must be aware of Zhao Haoran's return, but seemed to fear this elderly dragon king and thus dared not delve deeper into the topic.

"Does the old dragon king know about what happened to Ah Zi" Hao Ren directly asked.

The color on Prime Minister Xia’s face shifted several times before he suddenly leaned closer to Hao Ren, saying, "The old dragon king was previously unaware of the previous duke's affairs and Miss Ah Zi's situation because the current Dragon King concealed these matters from him."

Hearing this news, Hao Ren was stunned. His original intention was to ask if Zhao Haoran knew about his granddaughter being confined in the palace but instead received other information.

This revelation shocked Hao Ren even more!

Zhao Yanzi's grandfather had no knowledge of Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi’s engagement, meaning that as the highest authority in the Dragon Palace, Zhao Haoran’s reaction could only be imagined!

In fact, this was also a matter causing great concern to Zhao Guang. According to his plan, with three years for Hao Ren, who is the candidate fiancé of Zhao Yanzi, to grow and mature, coupled with his resilient personality and elixirs, he should naturally reach the level of a Marquis.

Then, it would be appropriate to bring up this matter. Even if there were issues, they wouldn't be major ones.

However, fluctuations in Tomorrow Group's business caused Zhao Haoran, who was living peacefully in America, to sense the Dragon Palace’s difficulty within the dragon community and thus acted forcefully. As such, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi’s situation inevitably came to light.

Zhao Yanzi lost her dragon egg, yet she must marry an ordinary human... "Zhao Haoran's anger is even more unbearable than what Zhao Guang can bear!"

This Prime Minister Xia clearly understands the direction of these developments and thus remains silent. But he still cares about Hao Ren and warned him ahead of time.

"Oh, I see..." nodded Hao Ren.

Hao Ren did not know that Zhao Yanzi had a grandfather enjoying his twilight years in America, nor could he have imagined that Zhao Guang was actually keeping this matter from the elder who is far away in America.

Now, Tomorrow Group's development on land is regressing step by step, and the Dragon Palace’s reputation among dragons has plummeted accordingly.

The future inheritor of the Dragon Palace, Zhao Yanzi, marrying an unremarkable human...

From Zhao Guang's persistent reluctance to report to Zhao Hao Ran, Hao Ren could roughly guess the personality of this old Dragon King.

"Hehe... Hehe..." "Incumbent Chancellor Xia gave a helpless dry laugh and continued walking with Hao Ren.

Zhao Guang officially took over the East Sea Dragon Palace; it had been nearly 20 years since then. Incumbent Chancellor Xia, who has already become an old manager, followed Zhao Hao Ran and deeply understood his temper.

In those days, the East Sea Dragon Palace's vast foundation was all carved out piece by piece by Zhao Hao Ran! Although Tomorrow Group was established by Zhao Guang, it was also because of Old Dragon King that the group managed to establish branches across the nation and even around the world!

These few days of silence at the East Sea Dragon Palace were undoubtedly a calm before the storm!

Especially with Zhao Hao Ran's most beloved, highest potential, and highly anticipated third son, Zhao Kuo, failing his heavenly tribulation and suffering damage to his dragon pill.

The elders in the Dragon Palace all knew that Zhao Hao Ran liked Zhao Kuo best. With Zhao Kuo not being around at the Dragon Palace now, who could pacify Zhao Hao Ran's anger

Throughout the entire East Sea Dragon Palace, besides Zhao Yanzi, who didn't know about his grandfather's imminent return, no one dared to even take a deep breath!

Sss... The spacious square only heard the faint footsteps of Hao Ren and Chancellor Xia walking through it. Nearby soldiers guarding each palace stood straight as if they were statues.

The huge red lanterns celebrating Zhao Kuo's successful heavenly tribulation had long been taken down, leaving an atmosphere in the Dragon Palace that was unusually oppressive and unnervingly quiet.

"Chancellor Xia, you're here early today. I want to go see Su Han," Hao Ren broke the silence, saying. His voice echoed slightly between the palaces, clearly showing how silent the Dragon Palace was tonight.

"Alright..." Chancellor Xia slightly changed direction and led Hao Ren towards Star Moon Elder's palace.

In this palace, cultivators in each side wing were all meditating. Star Moon Elder had a high status within the Dragon Palace, not only because she held the highest realm among female cultivators but also because she led all female cultivators within the palace. Even Zhao Yanzi's initial cultivation was啟蒙於她。這些女修白天在各處修煉，夜晚則回到星月長老的宮殿裡休息。星月長老的弟子比其他長老的弟子要多得多，自然也就說得響亮一些。

隻是郝仁的事情，夏丞相說不上話，星月長老也使不上力。

從大局來看，東海龍宮確實冇有必要為了一個還未確定的駙馬，去跟整個西海龍宮為敵反東海聯盟。

同樣是紫袍長老的陸長老和孫長老在情感上偏向郝仁，但麵對駐守龍宮的十幾位禁袍長老，他們的意見也有限。龍宮裡的紫袍長老都是趙浩然時代拚殺出來的老臣，他們要跟趙廣犟起來，趙廣也冇辦法。

“夏丞相，怎麼又是深夜來了？是不是又來送什麼好東西？”星月長老從她的屋子裡走出來，微微一笑說道。

Her voice always had a slightly cold feeling, but her expression wasn't unfriendly.

"Young Master Hao wanted to visit Su Han, so he brought him over," Chancellor Xia replied with a smile.

"Su Han is inside. You may go in." Elder Star Moon nodded slightly at Hao Ren and said.

"Alright!" Hao Ren quickened his pace, crossing the small garden towards Su Han's relatively secluded and independent room.

He looked back and saw the upright Elder Star Moon and the hunched Chancellor Xia chatting where they stood. No doubt, they were talking about the Old Dragon King’s return.

Hao Ren hurried through the garden to reach Su Han's room entrance just as he was about to call out, Su Han’s voice invited him in: "Come in!"

Hao Ren pushed open the door and saw Su Han dressed in blue gauze, holding a brush pen, practicing calligraphy before a candlestick.

In the flickering candlelight, with one hand gripping her sleeve and the other holding the brush pen, Su Han was undoubtedly an elegant beauty.

Hao Ren approached and closely observed Su Han's complexion, which appeared much better than when he had last visited. He knew Chancellor Xia must have delivered the divine pills to Su Han.

Su Han slowly put down her brush pen, her eyes turning towards Hao Ren, "There’s a pimple on my face." Hao Ren was momentarily at a loss and stepped back, “No... I just wanted to see how you were doing.”

Su Han smiled, the candlelight causing her eyes to sparkle softly, truly captivating in every expression.

"Thank you for giving me such precious divine pills," Su Han said calmly, facing Hao Ren.

Hao Ren seemed to hear the words "thank you" from her lips for the first time; usually it was Su Han helping him, and this was a rare instance where Hao Ren helped her and even received her gratitude.

"Alright, anyway I don't need them. Your injuries are serious, so they should be used by you," Hao Ren smiled generously but felt suddenly suffocated in the closed room facing Su Han’s recovered demeanor.

Su Han was icy cold, yet Qin Shaoyang was enchanted by her, surpassing even celestial beauties in her allure. Hao Ren thought while focusing his mind.

"With your divine pills' power, I not only healed but also made a small breakthrough in my cultivation," Su Han picked up the calligraphy paper on the table and said casually as she admired it.

Hao Ren knew Su Han was a training fanatic; despite her composed appearance, he could tell she must be overjoyed inside. Otherwise, how could she have such a good mood to practice calligraphy

Once in the sea, ordinary water is hard to match.

"Qin Shaoyang will be reassigned as a local inspector," Su Han held up the paper and turned her gaze towards Hao Ren, saying. that students were moving in at 淩兆 Middle School's new campus; many parents came to help out, and there wasn't a ban on boys going upstairs. After today, it would be much harder for 郝仁 to enter again...
