“Third Uncle?” Hao Ren looked at Su Han, surprised.
He saw that Zhao Kuo had already reached top-tier Qian-level. He also cultivated using the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, and he wanted to practice fighting with Zhao Kuo. Yet, the opponent that Zhao Kuo wished to fight against wasn’t Hao Ren but Su Han.
Both Zhao Kuo and Su Han were charging at the Heavenly Dragon Realm. In the entire East Ocean City, only Su Han was at Zhao Kuo’s level.
Hao Ren understood why Zhao Kuo wanted to challenge Su Han right away.
“I accepted it,” Su Han said.
She and Zhao Kuo went for different styles; one was more static, and the other was more active. They were both pursuing the Heavenly Dragon Realm, but they had to battle tough opponents before they could break through.
“We are going to the Nine Dragon Palace next week, you should prepare,” Su Han said again. Then, she patted Hao Ren’s shoulder and walked away.
Hao Ren looked at her and knew that she was also injured and needed a few days to heal.
Zhao Kuo wouldn’t try to fight her when she was injured. The battle between the two supreme masters could only take place after the Nine Dragon Palace trip.
Hao Ren felt like at least one of the two would become a heavenly dragon, but it was difficult to tell who that would be.
“Ms. Song, is this calligraphic work your work?” Luo Xin, one of the calligraphy masters who surrounded Song Qingya, asked Song Qingya.
These calligraphy masters had tens of years of experience in calligraphy. It was unbelievable to them that this young singer could write such beautiful calligraphy.
They studied Song Qingya’s work for a long time and finally asked out of curiosity. They didn’t mean to embarrass Song Qingya; they just wanted to meet the calligraphy master who wrote for Song Qingya.
Those reporters ran toward them and heard the curator of East Ocean Museum questioning Song Qingya. Therefore, they quickly moved their microphones over.
Song Qingya followed Hao Ren’s gaze and looked at the cold yet elegant Su Han as she sighed. She wouldn’t be able to reach Su Han’s realm in her whole life; she could only envy her.
“Ms. Song, you never mentioned that you know calligraphy. Is this your work?”
“When did you finish this piece…”
“Ms. Song, you never mentioned that you practiced calligraphy in previous interviews…”
These reporters thought Song Qingya was scared when she didn’t talk. They thought that the calligraphic work that Song Qingya brought was not her own work, and that was why they kept on asking.
Song Qingya shook her head and smiled. She thought that Hao Ren’s event was awe-inspiring today, so she didn’t mind adding on to it. She said, “Why don’t I demonstrate it now?”
“Okay…”
Hearing that Song Qingya was going to write calligraphy live, these reporters became excited.
In these years, Song Qingya had attended many events, but she had never mentioned that she practiced calligraphy. This would be something news if it were real!
“Let’s go outside…” Song Qingya said and walked toward the entrance of the library.
By the time she walked to the entrance, two club members of the Calligraphy Club had taken out two big tables and put them on the small square in front of the library.
Lights dashed out of Huang Xujie’s eyes as he saw Song Qingya walking out while he was maintaining order.
Hao Ren walked beside Song Qingya calmly, and Song Qingya walked and talked to Hao Ren with a smile at the same time as if they were friends in the same generation.
The students lining up on the stairs saw Song Qingya walking out and was about to demonstrate her calligraphy skills, so they ran toward the small square quickly and wanted to have a close look in the front.
Song Qingya not only gave her own calligraphic work as a present, but she would also demonstrate her calligraphy skills. This would look extremely great for East Ocean University and Hao Ren’s club!
Song Qingya’s appearance in advertisements was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan for a few seconds! It would be even more expensive for her to attend certain events!
Long rice paper was spread out on the table, all kinds of ink brushes were displayed, and a bottle of ink was placed in a beveled corner.
The cloud faded away, and the weather outside of the library had already become good. The Sun shined on the white rice paper which reflected Song Qingya and the white library behind her, making it look as beautiful as artistic photos.
The reports took pictures of Song Qingya quickly.
Song Qingya held up an ink brush, pressed the rice paper with her left hand, and wrote a poem.
[Black clouds are all over the city, and the city is about to fall (TL: black clouds represent the enemy’s army, which consists of too many people, just like the black clouds)…]
“Great writing!”
As soon as Song Qingya stopped, the curator of East Ocean Museum cheered. He was initially suspicious of Song Qingya’s calligraphy skills, but he admired her when he saw Song Qingya finishing this piece of work in front of everyone.
The reporters who surrounded Song Qingya also cheered in surprise.
A superstar like Song Qingya was already generous enough to showcase her calligraphy skills in front of them. Even if the calligraphy kills weren’t great, they had to compliment her. However, her calligraphy skills were indeed excellent!
Hao Ren saw that Song Qingya hyping the event for him and smiled. He knew that in the next few days, East Ocean University would become the focus of the national media.
Zhao Hongyu also smiled in the crowd. Song Qingya was the princess of South Ocean, and her skills in music and calligraphy were not bad. Out of all the dragon princesses, Zhao Yanzi was probably the only one who didn’t act like a princess at all; she almost didn’t have knowledge in any of the arts fields.
“However, she’s only marrying Hao Ren. If she’s marrying a traditional dragon cultivator, we would feel ashamed by her lack of traditional art skills…”
Zhao Yanzi stood in front of Zhao Hongyu, and she probably knew Zhao Hongyu’s thoughts. She looked up at Zhao Hongyu and pouted her mouth.
She had loads of homework and barely passed the exams. How could she have time to learn these?
Song Qingya put down the ink brush and suddenly picked up a smaller brush.
Song Qingya’s hand turned and drew a landscape painting of East Ocean University in a few strokes on the remaining part of the rice paper!
There was a lake in the middle of the campus with some green areas and several small hills. Under the sunny weather, the scenery was excellent. Song Qingya held the ink brush, decorating the paper and drawing the scenery.
Those reporters with microphones and cameras were stunned.
Song Qingya who had an angelic voice was actually a master in calligraphy and painting!
This was the first time that Song Qingya demonstrated these skills of hers in public, so this artwork would probably be sold at a high price of nearly one million yuan!
Song Qingya put away the ink brush and smiled at Hao Ren. “I didn’t take away your glory, right?”
Hao Ren smiled and gave her a thumbs-up. “You are amazing.”
“Principal Liu… this painting is a gift for the school,” Song Qingya said to Principal Liu who was already stunned.
“Ok, thank you!” Principal Liu nodded in a hurry. This artwork was on the master level and was definitely worthy of collecting, let alone that this was the calligraphic work and painting from the superstar Song Qingya,
Song Qingya’s assistants looked at each other; they didn’t even know that Song Qingya had this kind of talent!
If someone posted a video of Song Qingya painting live, her popularity would rise by a lot!
From the perspective of East Ocean University, this event also advertised the school!
“Zi, you skipped the classes in the afternoon, right?” Zhao Hongyu asked Zhao Yanzi suddenly.
“Ah!” Zhao Yanzi pretended that she just realized that now and quickly ran toward East Ocean University’s main entrance.
Zhao Guang looked at Zhao Yanzi and shook his head helplessly. However, he was in a great mood.
As long as Zhao Kuo reached peak Qian-level, they wouldn’t be afraid of the metal-elemental dragons anymore! This accidental battle made all other dragon clans see the strength of East Ocean. It was the battle that built East Ocean’s prestige, and it couldn’t be arranged deliberately!
After returning, these senior dragon cultivators would send their important young generations to East Ocean City, and this city which was under the control of the East Ocean Dragon Clan would become the center of communication for dragon cultivators!
Even half a year ago, Zhao Guang couldn’t imagine this type of thing happening!
Song Qingya walked down the stairs with a bunch of reporters surrounding her.
The Principal put away Song Qingya’s work carefully and looked at Hao Ren. The more he looked at Hao Ren, the better impression he had.
East Ocean University was a famous university, but its influence in the country was less than several universities in the north.
But after this incident, the exposure of the school would increase, and there might be a lot of students applying for East Ocean University.
After all, on top of the blank space of the landscape painting, Song Qingya also wrote in the standard script: East Ocean University is a great university!
Huang Xujie brought trouble to the school, but Hao Ren brought reputation to the school!
“Hao Ren, if you have any questions from now on, come to me if you can’t reach Vice Principal Lu,” Principal Liu put his arm around Hao Ren’s shoulder and said pleasantly.
“Yes, Principal Liu,” Hao Ren said.
Zhou Liren and the other guys swallowed their saliva from a distance.
“Hao Ren definitely got some connections with the authorities!” they thought.
“Zhao Jiayi, Zhou Liren, Yu Rong… Let’s eat; it’s on me!” Hao Ren called out the guys and said to them.
Yu Rong looked at Hao Ren in confusion and thought that Hao Ren was still Hao Ren! Even if he were the son of two world-class scientists, he was still the Hao Ren who they were familiar with!
If Hao Ren didn’t want to, why would he be friends with them before?
“Let’s go eat!” Zhou Liren shouted.
He was indeed shocked that Hao Ren’s parents were Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang. Yet, Hao Ren was still their brother. It felt great being able to be brothers with the son of important figures who had more influence than the provincial governor!
“Let’s go, Yujia,” Hao Ren patted Xie Yujia’s elbow.
“Um!” Xie Yujia smiled pleasantly.
The sunset was beautiful.
No matter the situation, dignified or poor, she was willing to stay by Hao Ren’s side.
The strength changed but not the heart; that was why Xie Yujia liked Hao Ren. He was humble and never felt conceited.
