Chapter 165: Gold and Jade on the Outside?

Su Han glanced at Hao Ren’s bare wrists. “You broke through, right?”
“Yeah.” Hao Ren nodded.
Su Han remained silent. In fact, she had sensed it when the Mount Tai Bracelets broke, knowing that Hao Ren had made the breakthrough.
Kan-level was not difficult to achieve, but it was the dividing line between the mortals and the cultivators.
However, Su Han thought that he had made the breakthrough with the aid of elixirs. She knew that East Ocean would help him at the last moment since they were determined to make him a member of the Dragon Clan.
However, the realm achieved with elixirs would negatively affect the future cultivation. Every single breakthrough needed to be achieved through inspiration. Without inspiration, the realm wouldn’t be solid. Just like a building, it won’t be tall if the base was unstable.
“What’s your relationship with Xie Yujia?” Su Han asked abruptly.
“We’re… Classmates,” Hao Ren answered after a slight hesitation, surprised that Su Han had brought it up.
“Ok.” Su Han clenched her fists but didn’t say anything more.
She was only cautious of one person on campus, and that person was Xie Yujia.
On Xie Yujia’s left shoulder, there was a pale cyan mark.
That mark wasn’t even visible to Qian-level Masters like Zhao Kuo; only Inspectors could see this mark.
In the Dragon Tribe, the ones who could attack mortals when necessary were Inspectors. However, with the mark on her shoulder, Xie Yujia was a person whom even the Inspectors couldn’t touch!
It was because the cyan mark signaled that Xie Yujia was under the protection of a Soul Formation Cultivator!
Even the arrogant Qin Shaoyang must avoid her after seeing the mark because he would die if he messed with a Soul Formation Cultivator!
Even the Inspectors dared not to investigate the Soul Formation Cultivators!
That was why Su Han didn’t pursue the topic.
Oblivious to Su Han’s dilemma, Hao Ren thought that he had been too close to Xie Yujia recently, and Su Han was concerned as Zhao Yanzi’s ‘big sister’.
When the car arrived at the Starlight Restaurant, a bell boy in a suit immediately walked up and offered to drive the car to the underground parking lot for Hao Ren.
Seeing the deep blue light emitting from the bellboy, Hao Ren knew that the handsome bell boy was a member of the East Ocean Dragon Clan who was here to help with Zhao Yanzi’s party.
The moment Hao Ren and Su Han entered the hall, they saw a poster at the entrance with information about Zhao Yanzi’s birthday party.
If outsiders saw this poster, they would have thought that it was just a rich girl’s birthday party.
The spacious marble-floored hall was filled with people. Hao Ren found that even the service staff were emitting lights.
Most of them were blue, and they were mingled with some whites, green, reds, and yellows. He even saw some kids emitting grey light as they frolicked with each other.
In the corners of the hall, there floated about a dozen dark red energy spheres, and there were kids in there who were emitted blue lights.
The kids inside the spheres were having practice battles, and the other kids gathered under the light spheres and watched.
The thing was that the blue lights on these kids were as bright as Hao Ren’s!
It meant that these kids who were about seven or eight years old were as strong if not stronger than Hao Ren.
Watching the different lights moving in the hall, Hao Ren felt like he discovered a whole new world after reaching Kan-level.
By reaching Kan-level, he had now officially entered the world of cultivation!
“What are those grey lights?” Hao Ren asked.
“They are still cultivating the Spirit Concentration Scroll and have not yet reached Kan-level. They are here with the elders to enrich their experience. Don’t you see how young they are?” Su Han said.
At a closer look, Hao Ren found that the ones with grey lights were just five or six years old kids. That meant before his recent breakthrough, he had been in the same realm as these little kids!
Even after he advanced, he was now in the same realm as those seven or eight years old kids, and these kids were all able to create their own energy spheres to battle in, something Hao Ren didn’t know how to do yet.
“As an Inspector, it’s not proper for me to walk with you. You should go on by yourself.” With that, Su Han parted ways with Hao Ren.
Spotting Hao Ren, Elder Sun, who was responsible for greeting the guests, hurried over to him. “Gongzi Hao, here you are!”
“Elder Sun.” Hao Ren folded his hands in the front to greet him. He didn’t see Elder Sun often, but among the strangers in the hall, Elder Sun was a familiar face.
“Ms. Zi’s birthday party will begin in two hours. Gongzi Hao, please go ahead and get prepared for it.” He took Hao Ren’s arm and walked him to a waitress dressed in a cheongsam.
“Gongzi Hao, this way,” the waitress said softly.
Only now did Hao Ren realized that he was dressed too casual for this occasion. Due to his lack of experience, he had not thought of dressing up at all.
The waitress led Hao Ren into a dressing room, and the make-up artist in the room was emitting a blue light as well; she was also a member of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
In fact, all the service staff in the restaurant were members of the East Ocean Dragon Clan since Zhao Guang had booked all three floors of the restaurant and it wasn’t open to the public.
The make-up artist called Hao Ren over, and a stylist came to him to get his measurements.
Then, Hao Ren went into a fitting room to change into a black suit.
He walked out, and before he had time to look in the mirror, the make-up artist and the hairstylist walked over and pushed him into a chair. They began to work on his face and hair.
To get Hao Ren relaxed, the make-up artist started to chat with him.
During their chat, Hao Ren learned that the restaurant was, in fact, the property of Elder Sun, and Elder Sun had chosen a service team comprised of all East Ocean Dragon Clan members for this gathering, making it the safest place for the party.
From their conversation, Hao Ren also learned that besides this luxurious restaurant, Elder Sun also managed a Martial Arts Dojo which trained a lot of bodyguards with the East Ocean background. Of course, the mortal masters trained in his Martial Arts Dojo had placed in a lot of national competitions.
In other words, Elder Sun was quite a figure in East Ocean City, handling all the minor issues for Zhao Guang.
After a full hour, the make-up artist and the hairstylist finally stood aside; their work was done.
Hao Ren could finally stand up and look at himself in the mirror.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
With three claps, Qin Shaoyang walked in wearing a silver suit.
He lowered his hands and stared at Hao Ren.
“There’s a saying that applies to you. Gold and jade on the outside, but garbage and trash on the inside,” he said.
