Aftr saying that, Zhen Caiming揹著他的新書包 ran into the elementary school without bothering to give Hao Ren an impromptu explanation.

Hao Ren looked at Zhen Caiming's back and was originally going to ask him how things were developing with Wu Luoxue over the summer. Seeing his dejected expression, he concluded that there had been no breakthrough in their relationship.

Hao Ren then returned to Donghai University, ate at the cafeteria, and attended his first class of the day.

Xie Yujia and Lu sisters were already in the classroom. Upon seeing Hao Ren, they waved at him together.

Hao Ren sat down where they had saved a spot for him and was about to speak when Xie Yujia preempted him by reporting, "That Xu Ke I’ve found out that he is the top scorer in Gaokao from Beiyi High School. He’s Donghai City's sixth place overall in science subjects this year, with full marks in both Physics and Mathematics. His grades were always good at school but for some reason, he didn’t apply to Yanjing University when applying for Donghai University."

"Hmm…" Hao Ren pondered for a few seconds without sensing anything special.

“And there are also some little gossips,” Xie Yujia continued. "He’s quite popular in school, and many girls actively pursue him, but he rarely dates any of them. It seems that he doesn’t spend much time studying. He participates in the principal's running club events but not often in training sessions. Also, he plays baseball; every weekend, he goes to a baseball club to practice, so there are quite a few girls who watch his games."

Hao Ren nodded and felt that Xu Ke’s high school life was rather simple.

"So… where does he live Does he have family" Hao Ren asked.

“Not very clear, but his background should be good. Girls in the same year say he has the aura of a gentle and noble young lord. Besides, baseball isn’t exactly a widespread sport. Some people even say that before junior high school, he lived abroad and returned to China with his family later to attend Beiyi High School.”

Xie Yujia reported everything she had found out.

She was somewhat puzzled why Hao Ren would investigate a little freshman brother. Since this freshman was from the same high school as Hao Ren, did they have some history

"We need to dig deeper into his background; he said that he only has an Intermediate Rank C," Hao Ren stated.

“Intermediate Rank” Xie Yujia was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t thought Xu Ke would be a dragon cultivator. She had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so she should have entered the realm of cultivation. Also, since the old lady’s Life and Death Talisman allowed her to sense the world, even if she couldn’t judge his level, she could tell whether he was practicing.

However, with Xu Ke, she hadn’t detected any fluctuations in his spiritual energy, so she had thought of him as a regular student.

"He’s the one who came to the classroom and called you Lord earlier. His dragon pearl fluctuates unpredictably; we can’t discern his level," Lu Linlin and Lu Lili interjected.

“Yes.” Hao Ren clenched his teeth, thinking he might need to take action to test his strength if necessary.

The Gold Dragon Clan is the most unique among the dragon clans. Whether in terms of cultivation methods or organizational structure, it differs greatly from the other four dragon clans and almost exists as an independent entity, making it difficult even for the Dragon Temple to manage them effectively, let alone investigate a specific Golden Cultivator thoroughly.

Furthermore, Hao Ren did not want to rely on the Dragon Temple's intelligence system. He had yet to fully grasp the Secrets of the Mysterious Water Sword Technique, and if the Dragon Temple were involved and revealed information about this technique, things would become even more complicated.

The Mysterious Water Sword Technique is extremely profound; insufficient cultivation would prevent one from seeing its later content. Hao Ren did not want such a precious technique to slip out of his hands.

There's also the Split Light and Shadow Sword Technique. From Xu Ke’s hints, it seems that he and his master are quite interested in this technique and might take it for research purposes as well. However, considering the safety of himself and Zhao Kuo, this is something that must be kept secret.

Important techniques are a cultivator's lifeblood; especially for sword practitioners like Hao Ren, if an opponent finds weaknesses within their techniques, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Zhao Kuo may have a short temper, but he shares the same goals as Hao Ren. Therefore, Zhao Kuo practicing the Split Light and Shadow Sword Technique does not threaten Hao Ren; instead, it allows them to verify each other's techniques. But for others, Zhao Guang wouldn’t even show the technique to them.

"Should I... find some other people to gather more information" Xie Yujia asked when she saw Hao Ren’s solemn expression.

“No need,” Hao Ren waved his hand.

Xie Yujia only looked up some data from the school, which was limited in scope. That's why he had Huang Xujie investigate Xu Ke’s situation.

This guy came over yesterday with great trepidation to apologize; it’s obvious that his heart is full of fear, so when tasked with this mission, he would certainly use every means at his disposal to gather information.

Whether or not Huang Xujie offends or angers Xu Ke isn’t something Hao Ren cares about. The Gold Dragon Clan may be powerful but they follow the rules and wouldn't resort to violence—they'll just make Huang Xujie suffer a bit, which is fine by him.

Clang... Hao Ren's phone rang; he picked up the call.

"Brother Hao, the club activity is scheduled for one o'clock in the afternoon. Regarding Xu Ke whom you mentioned yesterday, I had people investigate his background: he’s a new student this year and belongs to the Gold Dragon Clan. He previously studied at No. 1 Middle School in Beicheng District and has no connections with our circle, so there aren’t many details available about him right now. He hasn't signed up for the Calligraphy Club either. If Brother Hao feels uneasy, I can arrange some Fire Dragon Cultivators to monitor him around the clock."

“No need; you won’t be able to keep tabs on him anyway. See you at one o'clock in the afternoon; thanks,” Hao Ren hung up.

Lu Qi indeed handles things with great attention to detail. He specifically looked into Xu Ke's situation after Hao Ren mentioned it yesterday, but even Lu Qi’s investigation wouldn't yield much as only Deputy Commander Yue Zilong knows about Xu Ke's true origins.

At this moment, Hao Ren had already cast several nets all aimed at Xu Ke.

Hao Ren believed that Xu Ke must have sensed that he was under scrutiny. And precisely for this effect did Hao Ren set these traps.

The classes started, and both Hao Ren and Xie Yujia focused on their studies.
