“Hongyu!” Grandma reached out her arms at Zhao Hongyu in excitement.

Zhao Hongyu smiled softly and stepped forward to give Grandma a gentle hug.

Grandma was very kind, and Zhao Hongyu had a gentle personality. Therefore, Grandma felt close to her from the bottom of her heart. On top of that, Grandma stayed at Zhao Hongyu’s place for a while, so they had bonded very well.

“Hehe…” Zhao Hongyu smiled to Yue Yang after the hug.

Grandma and Zhao Hongyu cared a lot for each other, and Yue Yang and Zhao Hongyu understood each other.

When Zhao Hongyu and Yue Yang were making eye contacts, Zhao Guang and Hao Zhonghua both stepped forward for a handshake.

Zhao Hongyu and Yue Yang were two good friends on the same educational level while Zhao Guang and Hao Zhonghua respected each other.

The two families got along very well.

“Where did you go?” Grandma asked joyfully.

“We took a trip to the nearby mountain.” Zhao Hongyu smiled.

“Hehe, thank you for taking care of these two little ones.” Grandma nodded pleasantly. She didn’t worry at all since Hao Ren and Xie Yujia went on a trip with Zhao Hongyu’s family.

“What are you talking about. We should thank you for taking care of Zi,” Zhao Hongyu said politely.

“Ok, ok,” Grandma looked behind Zhao Hongyu and asked, “These are…”

“Let me introduce them,” Zhao Guang said brightly, “This is my little brother Zhao Kuo, this is Mr. Sun from Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo, this is a good friend of mine, Mr. Xia, this is my wife’s good friend, Xingyue, and this… is also a good friend of my wife’s, Su Han. She teaches at the East Ocean University,”

Premier Xia took his sunglasses off and bowed instinctively with a smile on his face when Zhao Guang introduced him.

Grandma looked at them and smiled kindly. Elder Sun was in a very straight brown robe, and Premier Xia wore a Chinese-style long robe over his hunched back.

Elder Xingyue wore a white robe; she looked cold and haughty. Su Han, who was also in a white robe while standing beside her, appeared to be calm and elegant in comparison.

“Ahem! Ahem!” Yue Yang noticed that Hao Zhonghua was staring at Su Han, so she nudged him on purpose.

Hao Zhonghua looked away immediately. When he saw Su Han, he couldn’t help but wonder, “Why are all the girls around Ren so pretty?”

“Very nice young man. You look pretty strong.” Grandma patted Zhao Kuo and smiled.

Zhao Kuo froze for a second before revealing an ugly smile.

“I haven’t met your younger brother before. Did he just arrive at the East Ocean City? Does he need Zhonghua to refer him to a job?” Grandma continued.

Zhao Kuo looked confused. He knew that he looked very built, but that didn’t mean he was a labor worker with no educational background.

“Don’t worry about it, Mom. Zi’s father knows a lot of people; they wouldn’t need us for that,” Yue Yang said immediately.

“You are right! I’m being overly concerned…” Grandma nodded apologetically. Then, she looked around and said, “Let’s find a nice spot before it’s too late!”

The East Ocean City was hosting a dragon boat race with a few nearby cities for this year’s Dragon Boat Festival. Therefore, many tourists, as well as local residents, came here for the event. Therefore, there were lots of people on both sides of the Yellow Dragon River.

They had to walk to a higher place for a better view.

While they walked forward, Grandma got closer to Zhao Kuo and asked, “What school did you go to? Are you still single?”

Zhao Kuo rolled his big eyes, not knowing what to say.

If Zhao Guang didn’t drag him to see this boring dragon boat race, he wouldn’t even talk to mortals!

“How old are you?” Grandma continued as Zhao Kuo didn’t respond.

“Mom!” Yue Yang stopped her immediately.

“It seems like it’s Zhao Guang’s brother’s first time in the East Ocean City. I just want to know more about him,” Grandma said to Yue Yang.

“It’s his first time in the East Ocean City, and he doesn’t know much about this city. He is very shy, so don’t ask him too many questions,” Yue Yang said to her patiently.

“I wouldn’t be asking him those questions if he isn’t Zhao Guang’s younger brother…” Grandma complained lightly, but she stopped her ‘interrogation’ at last.

Zhao Kuo looked a little defeated after Grandma asked those questions.

At this moment, Zhao Yanzi walked over and said, “Third Uncle…”

“What?” Zhao Kuo looked at her.

“Don’t… don’t hit Hao Ren without my permission in the future,” Zhao Yanzi said to him with a pout.

Zhao Kuo was stupefied; he was feeling wronged and sad at the same time.

“Me hitting Hao Ren? I was hit by someone else! That old wicked cultivator only flipped her finger, and it almost broke my bone!” he thought.

After saying that, Zhao Yanzi murmured something lightly before speeding up to catch up with Hao Ren.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Yanzi’s lively figure, feeling lost. “This little girl is starting to get on other people’s side!” he thought.

When he was sighing lightly, a figure in a white robe walked closer to him.

Zhao Kuo turned over and saw Elder Xingyue’s charming face.

“Are you… leaving this time?” Elder Xingyue asked.

In order to provide convenience for the residents to watch the dragon boat race, vehicles were blocked from the bridges over the Yellow Dragon River. Thousands of citizens were standing on the cement bridges at the moment.

Hao Ren and the others walked past the Eastern Plaza. The nearest bridge to them was the Xuchuan Bridge; it was also the highest one amongst all the bridges over the river.

The police force of the East Ocean City was heavily situated there; there were at least 100 police officers on Xuchuan Bridge, making sure everything was in order. They made sure no resident was crossing the railing.

“So many people!” Zhao Yanzi sighed.

“Congming, come to Grandma!” Grandma saw Zhen Congming walking through the crowd and waved at him.

Zhen Congming walked over with Little White in his arms, and Grandma put her arms around him immediately to protect him.

Zhen Congming was moved by her caring act. His master Qiu Niu was the most powerful array master and elixir master in the world, but he never cared for him as much as Grandma did.

Grandma was already old, but she protected Zhen Congming in her arms in such a crowd. She didn’t want him to get pushed down by the surrounding adults.

Zhao Hongyu and the others squeezed over at last. They didn’t expect to see so many people at the dragon boat race.

Premier Xia even lost his sunglasses on the way here. He had been the Premier of the dragon palace for hundreds of years, and this was his first time looking this messy.

“Where is Zhao Kuo?” Zhao Hongyu looked into the crowd.

“Xingyue isn’t here either,” Zhao Guang said.

“Is there anything wrong?” Elder Sun was a little worried, but he was short in size and couldn’t see far without flying.

Zhao Guang was a little worried too, and he started to look around in search of them.

“Don’t worry about it,” Zhao Hongyu suddenly laughed happily. She patted Zhao Guang’s shoulder and pointed in a direction.

Zhao Guang looked in the direction that she was pointing at, and he saw Zhao Kuo in his black shirt and Elder Xingyue in her white robe standing beside the bridge. As they looked into the river, they chatted and ate ice creams.

It seemed like Zhao Kuo hadn’t had ice cream before. There was ice cream on his nose, and the way he held the cone in his right hand looked very weird; it seemed like he was holding a weapon instead of an ice cream cone.

“I see,” Zhao Guang smiled, “Let them be.”

Premier Xia was somewhat excited. “Elder Xingyue and Third Lord… At last…”

“Don’t gossip,” Zhao Guang stopped him.

“Ok… Mr. Zhao.” Premier Xia immediately closed his mouth.

Elder Sun laughed as he patted Premier Xia’s back. Premier Xia rarely came on land, and it was his first time at a mortal group event. He was obviously overly excited.

“There are so many people. Let’s just watch here,” Grandma shouted toward Zhao Hongyu and the others as they walked over.

“Looks like this is the only way.” Zhao Hongyu smiled lightly.

The dragon boat race was about to start, and there were people everywhere on the bridges over the Yellow Dragon River.

Su Han followed them quietly. Since she didn’t like crowds, she almost wanted to go home.

On the way over, many guys tried to get closer to her, but she used her power to push them away. A few bold ones even tried to touch her, so she immediately broke their wrists.

“Academician Hao!”

Someone called out from above when they headed toward the bridge railing.

They looked up and saw the mayor standing on top of a platform.

It was normally used for sentry duties, and that space wasn’t too big. However, it was still enough for a dozen people.

“Come up, Academician Hao! Oh, Mr. Zhao is also here!” the mayor shouted.

Hao Zhonghua didn’t want to stand together with the politicians. However, Grandma was old, and it was too crowded for her down here. So, he walked up the stairs while holding Grandma, and the police officers let them on.

“Please stay here, Premier Xia and Elder Sun. Zi, Hongyu, come with me,” Zhao Guang said.

Zhao Guang had his connections in the East Ocean City, so the mayor had to show respect as well.

Zhen Congming didn’t want to go up, but he suddenly saw a little figure on the platform. Therefore, he immediately picked up Little White and headed onto the platform.

“Come up with us, Su Han!” Hao Ren said to Su Han when he saw her not moving.

Su Han hesitated for a second before she walked upstairs. It was unrealistic to create an energy sphere when she was this close to a crowd. Therefore, it was a good idea to get on the platform to stay away from the crowd.

“I didn’t think that I would run into Academician Hao here,” the mayor shook Hao Zhonghua’s hand in excitement.

Hao Ren took the opportunity to look at the people up there on the platform.

There were several deputy mayors including Deputy Mayor Huang who was in charge of the economy, Deputy Mayor Huang’s son Huang Xujie, the famous painter Qin Shaoyang, the CEO of the Conqueror Group Zeng Xin, his grandson Zeng Yitao, the mayor’s daughter Wu Luoxue…

It seemed like Hao Ren had quite a few acquaintances here.
