Hao Ren came back to the dormitory and he did not know what was going on in the two households. He just sat down in cultivation and began to comprehend the technique of the sound sword that has been awarded to him by the system.
The sun appeared on the horizon and Hao Ren got ready to attend his classes. However, just when he was about to put on his uniform, he realized that it was a day off for him. The young man sighed and thought about what to do for the rest of the day. At this moment, someone knocked on his door.
Hao Ren checked who it was and found the hostel warden standing on the other side. The young man asked, "What is it?"
The warden had been long given a brain conditioning by his hypnotism skills so his attitude had changed completely and he was a better person. He replied nicely, "Young Master, an old steward from the Yuan family is here to see you."
Hao Ren raised his brow and spread out his divine sense. He spotted an old man standing outside the hostel premise. However, something surprised Hao Ren a lot, this man carried a vigor that did not match his age.
After some thought, he said, "Good, I will come down."
He closed the door, put on his clothes and left the room after locking the door and setting a barrier around it. This was his usual routine.
Downstairs, Hao Ren stood before the old butler and said, "Hello, I am Hao Ren, is there something you need?"
The old butler matched gazes with Hao Ren and the old man was surprised. He could not perceive the depth of those abyss like eyes. Hao Ren could see that this Body refinement level junior was trying to see through him but that was all, it did not matter to him.
The old man regained his composure and said, "Hello, my name is Ricardo Yel, I am the butler of the Yuan family head, my master has called you over for a chat. I wonder if you would agree?"
Hao Ren thought for a bit and said, "Surely, let us go."
He had nothing to worry about, if he met someone stronger, he still had a skill to run away unharmed. Ricardo Yel led him to a luxury car and the two of them drove away. Hao Ren was calm and composed throughout the trip. This surprised the butler who was watching him through the rearview mirror. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
They reached the Yuan Mansion, and Hao Ren was still calm. What the butler did not understand was that not only Hao Ren calm, he even felt like the mansion was a dump. He expected that if the other party was a group of cultivators, they must have an array barrier at the least around the house, however, this place was as bald as anything.
He sighed as they entered the house. The luxury and the vanity did not have any effect on Hao Ren. Ricardo Yel led him to the living room, and said, "Please have a seat, I will call the old master."
Hao Ren nodded and sat down on the couch comfortably. He spread out his divine sense, and scanned the entire house. After a few moments, he opened his eyes and found a young lady serving him some tea. The young man did not have any intention to have tea and said, "Can you get me a glass of water? I do not like tea much."
The maid stopped for a second and then served him water. Hao Ren thanked her and held the glass while just sitting there. He used his divine sense to check for poisons before drinking a few sips and placing the glass back on the table.
He waited for a total of ten minutes calmly, without any movement before an old man walked over with the butler following behind.
The old man smiled and said, "Welcome to the humble abode of the Yuan Family, young friend."
Hao Ren looked at the two people but he did not stand up. His behavior caused old master Yuan to frown. The old man sat down across him and then his Foundation Establishment aura erupted and washed over Hao Ren. The old man sneered and said, "You should know how it to be respectful to the hosts, right?"
Hao Ren leaned back and even put his leg over the other indifferently and said, "You have to act respectfully to be respected, right?"
As he said this, the peak of core formation realm pressure erupted from him. During the earlier scan, he found out that there were only two cultivators. The butler and the old master, so he did not mind showing his power. The moment the pressure washed over the butler and the old man, their faces paled.
The butler was kneeling on the side, while old man Yuan was sinking in the chair. The young man looked at them and asked, "Tell me, why have you call me here?"
As he said that, he took back the pressure and after a few minutes, they could not even breathe properly. After a few moments, Old Man Yuan stood up and knelt on the ground as he said, "Senior, please forgive my grandson for offending you."
Hao Ren asked, "Why should I? Didn't your family believe that the strong should rule? Why are you looking away from the philosophy that you have followed all your life?"
Old Man Yuan was sweating like crazy. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, because he could not understand how it was possible for a young man who was even two years younger than his grandson to be so far stronger than him.
He said, "Senior, the ignorant are not held guilty for they do not even know what they did wrong. Please, give us a chance. I assure you that I will not let you down."
Hao Ren placed his hand on the armrest and began to tap his fingers against it. The room was dead silent and the taps sounded as if bullets shooting. The young man said, "Clean up all the bad things you have, pay the debt of karma and then get your grandson away from here. If I see him again one more time, I will flail him alive and hang him on the city gate."
His voice was not loud, but the calm sent shivers down the spine of the two people. They did not expect to have messed with such a demon. Hao Ren looked at him and said, "If you tried to make any moves on me from the shadows, then..."
He stood up and waved his hand. The entire hall was divided in two sections. Old Master Yuan almost peed his pants. He nodded like a chick pecking on grains, and Hao Ren turned around to walk away as he said, "You can stand, as an old man you should carry yourself with some respect and humility. Never forget that there is a cloud above cloud and mountain above mountain."
As he said that, Hao Ren vanished from the premise like he never existed there. Old Master Yuan tried to stand up but his body was numb, it was not until a few minutes that he managed to stand up, and said, "Yel, get things done, we have to finish taking care of all this by the night. Do you understand?"
Ricardo Yel stood up and nodded as he remarked, "To think there is such a genius in this world. He must be from some big sect."
Old Man Yuan shook his head while looking at the sword mark in the living room, and said, "Which big sect can have a genius who is fourteen years old and reach core formation realm? Look at this sword ravine, even a sword grandmaster would not be able to do this with the wave of their hand. Get moving, we are short of time. Call Ron over. This bastard almost caused the family to vanish."
Hao Ren was walking on the road leading outside the community when the system notified, *Ding: The best war is won without spilling blood. You have done good, the system reward you with fifty one percent shares of Empyreon Securities.*
Hao Ren stopped in his footsteps and sighed before he continued walking. He was still heading out when he heard a surprised voice, "Hao Ren!"
He quickly turned around and found Han Lingshi standing on the sidewalk dressed in a casual olive shirt and peach skirt. Hao Ren smiled and waved his hand as he asked, "Do you live here, Lingshi?"
Han Lingshi walked over to his side and smiled as she nodded and replied, "Yes, this is my Grandpa's house. But, what are you doing here?"
Hao Ren sighed and replied, "Your neighbor, Yuan family invited me over to sort out some misunderstandings."
Han Lingshi was surprised, but before she could ask anything, an old man approached them and asked, "What misunderstandings do you have with that old man?"
Hao Ren was surprised, because this person was none other than Old Man Han. Han Lingshi made the introductions and the young man told him what happened. Old Man Han frowned and said, "Well, come over for lunch now that you are here. Our house seldom has young people adding to life. Lingshi also does not have many friends that come to see her. Come on."
The old man placed his hand around Hao Ren's shoulder and pulled him for a dinner, while Lingshi blushed faintly as she followed them.
