Seeing that Hao Ren seemed puzzled, Lu Linlin, the older sister added, “We have informed Elder Lu, and he said it’d be fine.”

If that was the case, Hao Ren believed that Zhao Guang would know about it as well. Realizing that, he now felt more comfortable with the idea. Otherwise, it would have been very strange for him to bring the two to Zhao Guang’s home for dinner……

As the bus drove, Hao Ren opened his bag and began reviewing the tutoring materials that he had prepared some time ago. Since a lot had happened, he had stopped tutoring Zhao Yanzi for a few days. Also, because Zhao Yanzi had just finished her midterm exams, he figured that he should give her a break.

Seated on Hao Ren’s two sides, the sisters stealthily leaned towards Hao Ren as they were curious about the materials in his hands.

Breathing in the elusive scents of the two girls, Hao Ren noticed how close they had gotten to him. He coughed slightly while straightening his body and putting away the materials. Only then did Lu Linlin and Lu Lili finally moved back to their former positions. If they had leaned over any further, their heads would be touching Hao Ren’s chest.

“Have you been staying at Elder Lu’s place for the past few days?” Hao Ren asked.

“Yes!” They both nodded.

“Elder Lu has been teaching us about how things work in this world, and we have been trying our best to learn as well,” Lu Lily explained.

Hao Ren nodded his head approvingly. He could tell that they both had incredible adaptability and learning capacity from the way they smoothly used their Public Transit Cards when they got on the bus.

As Hao Ren stopped talking, they remained silent as well. They were scared of being too much of a bother to their Gongzi.

When the bus arrived at the stop near Zhao Yanzi’s home, Hao Ren got off the bus with the sisters following right behind him.

As one was wearing a dark cyan colored chiffon and the other was wearing a light green colored chiffon, the sisters attracted immense attention from the pedestrians; especially the males who were constantly stealing glances at them. The fact that they were following closely behind Hao Ren had raised questions among the fascinated spectators.

“Did they just come back from comic con? Those two girls are stunning…”

“They are probably game ambassadors; why else would they dress that way?”

“They have such amazing temperament, and they seem very young as well…”

Paying no attention to the pedestrians, Hao Ren turned around the corner, walked straight to Zhao Yanzi’s house, and pressed the doorbell.

“Coming!” Zhao Hongyu came up and opened the door. Smiling at Hao Ren and looking at the sisters behind him, she said, “Come in!”

“Thank you, Dragon Queen!” The crisp and clear voices of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili resounded in unison.

Zhao Hongyu smiled as she turned and called out, “Zi, Zhao Guang, dinner time!”

Hao Ren saw that a fancy dinner had already been prepared in the dining room and Zhao Hongyu was not surprised at all to see the Lu sisters. He was now certain that Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu must have known about the sisters’ arrival in advance.

Soon, Zhao Yanzi sprinted down from the stairs in her pink pajamas, and Zhao Guang walked down unwaveringly from his bedroom.

“Lu Linlin and Lu Lili are truly grateful for the Dragon King’s help!” The two sisters shouted out loud to Zhao Guang who was still on the stairs.

“It was Ren who said to let you go, and it was a favor done at little cost. If you have to thank someone, thank Ren instead.” Letting out a laugh, Zhao Guang pointed at the dining room with his right hand and said, “Let’s go eat.”

“Thank you, Dragon King!” Again, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili said in unison.

Yet, the sisters did not show much of a reaction when Zhao Yanzi appeared in front of them.

“This is my daughter, Zhao Yanzi.” Zhao Guang introduced to them.

“Honored to meet you, Princess,” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili responded.

“Who are they?” Blinking her eyes, Zhao Yanzi turned to ask Zhao Guang. She rarely went back to the Dragon Palace, let alone visiting a cold place like the Ice Palace. Thus, she was completely unaware of the existence of the Lu sisters.

“Zi, don’t be rude,” Zhao Guang became serious and scolded, “In terms of seniority, they are much older than you. With that being said, you can call them Big Sisters.”

“I am Lu Linlin.”

“And I am Lu Lili.”

The sisters in dark cyan and light green introduced themselves respectively.

“Oh, hello, big sisters.” Since Zhao Yanzi was upset about being scolded by her father, she responded indifferently.

“Alright, now that we have all introduced one another, let’s sit down and eat,” Zhao Hongyu urged as she attempted to ease the situation.

Seeing that Hao Ren had seated himself, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili pulled out two chairs and each seated on one side of Hao Ren after bowing slightly.

In response, Zhao Hongyu turned and looked at Zhao Guang, but she did not say anything.

The sight of Hao Ren having the company of two beautiful girls had irritated Zhao Yanzi even more as she let out an audible ‘humph’ from her small nose.

“Ren, you have a basketball match this Thursday night, don’t you?” Zhao Hongyu came up with a topic.

“Well, yes. But I’m not the lead player; just there to make up the numbers,” Hao Ren answered with a faint smile.

“I heard about it from Zi. Since we don’t have anything planned for Thursday night, Zhao Guang, Zi, and I have decided to go watch your game at your school,” Zhao Hongyu announced softly.

“Oh, sure!” Hao Ren concurred immediately. He was thinking that it would be quite a sight if both his family and Zi’s family were going to be in the audience in the stadium; one party was the scientists that the school dared not neglect, and the other was the school’s biggest sponsor.

On the other hand, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili only quietly listened to their conversation and added no thoughts of their own.

“He is such a bad basketball player, what is there to see at his basketball match!?” Zhao Yanzi complained as she saw that Zhao Hongyu had become eager.

“Haha, who was the one that said instead of going to the boring designer competition, I should go see the basketball game at Ren’s school?” Zhao Hongyu responded by questioning Zhao Yanzi with a chuckle.

Pouting her lips, Zhao Yanzi lowered her voice. “That designer competition is indeed boring…”

“Ren, it seems that you are on the third level?” Zhao Guang asked as he focused on Hao Ren.

“Yes, it happened last week; I got lucky,” Hao Ren answered.

“Great.” Zhao Guang nodded in approval. “How about you take a stroll with me to the Dragon Palace tonight, and I can pick out a suitable cultivation technique for you so that you can cultivate to Kan-level as soon as possible?”

“Sure.” Hao Ren humbly nodded his head.

“Linlin and Lili can come as well. You can provide some advice,” Zhao Guang added.

“Linlin and Lili will always be by Gongzi’s sides!” The Lu sisters declared at once.

Zhao Yanzi pursed her lips at their response.

Half an hour later, dinner was over. As Zhao Hongyu began cleaning up the table, she asked Hao Ren to help Zi with her schoolwork.

“I’ll go get ready. We will leave in half an hour,” Zhao Guang said to Hao Ren.

“Linlin, Lili, it might be quite late when you return from the Dragon Palace. You can stay here tonight instead of going back to Elder Lu’s place,” Zhao Hongyu suggested to the sisters.

However, the sisters turned to seek Hao Ren’s opinion.

“Ren, you should stay here tonight since you probably won’t be able to make it back to school in time,” Zhao Hongyu said to Hao Ren.

“Sure.” Noting that Hao Ren had agreed, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili nodded at Zhao Hongyu as well.

As the sisters were following Hao Ren upstairs, Zhao Hongyu looked to Zhao Guang with concern. “You don’t think this will become a problem with those two following Hao Ren around, do you?” she asked.

With a frown, Zhao Hongyu explained, “They are such beautiful girls. If they are to follow Hao Ren around all the time, I worry that Zi…”

Shaking his head, Zhao Guang interrupted, “With no help from elixirs or Dharma treasures, Ren has cultivated to the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll in such a short period of time. That tells us how hard and serious he has worked. Yet, what has Zi done? She has shown no appreciation and has only taken everything for granted. I think that for certain matters, she has to fight for it herself.”

As Zhao Hongyu was trying to come up with a suitable response, Zhao Guang reached out his hand and gently tapped her forehead. “Moreover, those two are top-tier Kun-level Masters, what does that mean? If they are willing to be Hao Ren’s guardians, that means East Ocean would gain the help of them. My brother Zhao Kuo is the strongest in East Ocean, but he has begun his isolation cultivation period to prepare for the Heavenly Tribulation next month. West Ocean has been restless and is just waiting for a chance to cause trouble. This is the time when East Ocean could use all the help it can get…”
