Dragon King's Son-In-Law

"This is for you!" Su Han placed it into Qin Shaoyang's hands.

Qin Shaoyang's face turned red then livid. He wanted to burn it into ashes right now, but he forced himself to control his rage considering his public image. Then, he rolled up the painting before handing it to his assistant beside him.

"The Art Program in East Ocean University is indeed full of talented students. Are there any other students or teachers who want to come up and show their talent?" The host walked up with a microphone and tried to smooth things over.

At the same time, the Director, Vice Directors and Professors of the Art Program looked at each other in mortification since none of them knew a talented student named Hao Ren in their program.

At the moment, even students in the Art Program didn't dare to be so audacious in front of the world-famous artists.

This small painting event was over, and the students began to scatter around to see the exhibition. The influential figures the art circle went to a pre-arranged quiet corner to have tea and chat with Qin Shaoyang and the officials of the Art Program.

In the chaos, Hao Ren slipped back into the crowd before joining Zhao Yanzi and the others.

Meanwhile, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili approached the painting desk that was now in the shadows. They pulled out a blank piece of rice paper and began to mess around with the brush and ink while giggling.

Hao Ren couldn't find Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was about to take Zhao Yanzi home, he offered to walk them out.

Zhao Hongyu's red Ferrari was parked in front of the stairs leading up to the library. The sports car was quite eye-catching in the night.

"Auntie, have a safe trip home," Hao Ren said with a wave after Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Yanzi got in the car.

"Thank you. Please get prepared for tomorrow's exams yourself!" Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.

Zhao Yanzi kept quiet and looked unhappy.

The car started and drove toward the main gate of the school.

Hao Ren turned around and was about to return to his dorm for the exam preparation when he suddenly saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stand right behind him.

Startled, Hao Ren jumped back subconsciously.

"Gongzi, the exams are tomorrow!" Lu Linlin said while covering the prankster-like smile with her hand.

Hao Ren knew it was her idea to scare him.

"Gongzi, you did good with the use of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll," Lu Lili said while blushing. Obviously, she was a bit embarrassed for giving Hao Ren such a big 'surprise'.

"Thanks." Hao Ren nodded. In fact, he had tried his best tonight. He didn't expect that it would be so exhausting to transfer the five elemental essences continuously while controlling the strength of the sword energies.

"Gongzi, what are your plans for tonight?" they asked.

"What plans?" confused, Hao Ren asked.

"Are they planning to go out and play?" he thought.

"Prepare for the exams!" The sisters answered at the same time.

Like in a magic trick, they dug out two small bags that contained books and notebooks.

"You don't have to go back home?" Hao Ren asked.

"Elder Lu has arranged for us, and we could live on-campus," they explained with smiles on their faces.

Hao Ren sighed and gave in, "Ok, I'll study with you."

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili smiled at each other and said, "Then, we'll walk you to the dorm for your study materials!"

Feeling like a hostage, Hao Ren smiled powerlessly before leading them to the dorm area.

They crossed the campus and arrived at the Hao Ren's dorm building.

Hao Ren asked them to wait outside while he went in to get his materials.

It was very quiet in the dorm tonight since everyone was cramming for tomorrow's exams.

The same was true for Hao Ren's dorm. Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua had come back from the exhibition and were sitting at their desks busy reading Xie Yujia's notes.

Seeing that Hao Ren was back, they all looked at him as if they were observing a strange beast since they had not yet recovered from the shock they got from his performance in the library.

Hao Ren didn't want to explain anything since he needed to put every minute he had on preparing for tomorrow's mid-term exams. Picking up the photocopied notes that Xie Yujia had given him, Hao Ren grabbed three jackets before hurrying out of the dorm.

The study rooms were very cold during the night. Although he knew that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili could withstand the cold since they lived in the Ice Palace for more than 200 years, he felt it was not gentleman-like to only get a jacket for himself.

"Ren, where are you going at this late hour?" Seeing Hao Ren rushing out, Zhou Liren yelled after him.

Immediately, Zhou Liren ran to the balcony and yelled indignantly when he found that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were waiting downstairs for Hao Ren like two little flowers, "You totally forget your friends when you're with beauties…"

Back downstairs, Hao Ren handed the sisters the jackets before putting on his.

"Thank you, Gongzi!" After putting on Hao Ren's jackets, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked especially happy.

Hao Ren smiled; his mind on tomorrow's exams. In the past month, he had focused his attention on cultivation and tutoring Zhao Yanzi. Thus, he missed many key concepts in class. If he had not borrowed Xie Yujia's notes, he suspected that he would fail the exams miserably.

Crossing the quiet campus, Hao Ren led them to Academic Building D.

Academic Building D was mostly comprised of study rooms that were usually open until ten o'clock, but these rooms were open 24 hours a day during the exam seasons.

It was his first time going to a study room; he usually preferred to do the reading and reviewing in his dorm. Seeing the couples in the rooms, he realized that these study rooms were places where student couples came to prepare for exams.

While they were all couples of two, Hao Ren attracted attention when he brought two beauties there.

Spotting a big room that was relatively less crowded, Hao Ren forced himself to walk inside with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

The guys who had been busy reading looked quite angry when they saw Hao Ren come in with the two beautiful girls, which was a blatant show-off during this intense time before the exams.

"Ok. Let's sit here!" Hao Ren found a corner and sat down. He took the study materials out of his bag and spread them on the desk.

Meanwhile, in the temporary tea room in the library, a staff member came over with a piece of rice paper and asked carefully, "Mr. Qin, did you forget to mount and display this painting?"

"This…" Qin Shaoyang hesitated and replied, "Doesn't look like mine. Where did you find it?"

"It was left on the painting desk," the staff member answered.

Curious, the art masters who had been having tea and chatting with Qin Shaoyang leaned over to look.

The moment they saw what was on the rice paper, they froze as if they had been electrocuted by lightning.

There were three bamboos, and they looked so lively that it seemed like they were swaying out of the paper!

This was a realm that even the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou couldn't reach!

It should belong to Heaven instead of appearing in the mortal world!

What was more, the artistic masters saw a painting of chicken pecking rice beside the bamboos!

There was no inscriptions or signatures on it, so no one knew who drew them!

"East Ocean University is full of talented people!" The art masters who had been studying traditional Chinese paintings for many years were all stunned into silence!
