“Cul… cultivation?” Hao Ren’s heart raced, and he almost dropped the phone.

“Hehe, nothing. I happened to see it on TV. It has gotten cold recently; remember to dress warm,” Xie Yujia continued.

“Ok. You take care as well,” Hao Ren said. He suddenly felt like they were quite intimate expressing such concerns for each other.

“When Grandma is back, I’ll go visit her,” Xie Yujia said gently before hanging up.

With the cell phone in his hand, Hao Ren felt warm inside. At least, Zhao Yanzi would never be considerate enough to remind him to dress warmly in the cold weather.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Hao Ren sat back down cross-legged and continued to cultivate. With a happy mind, the knot in his heart was gone.

Beams of five-colored light flashed around him, which was the result of the combination of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and the Spirit Concentration Scroll.

The weak sword energies traveled through and around his body. Gradually, although still at Kan-level, Hao Ren felt like he was becoming one with the swords.

The seven openings in the Dragon Core were absorbing and releasing Nature Essence, transmitting five elements into his meridians and blood.

Only three more openings were needed before he could reach Li-level; it would be another significant milestone for him.

He cultivated until midnight, and he felt a bit lonesome when he opened his eyes. Life was a lonely journey.

Pitter, patter. It was drizzling.

The raindrops slipped down from the eaves of his room, dripping on his windows and creating rhythmic sounds.

He tossed and turned on his bed and couldn’t sleep.

Finally, the morning came, but he didn’t want to get up in the coldness even though he was starving.

The lazy atmosphere on this rainy day permeated the whole house. Bored, he picked up a book but found it uninteresting.

If Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle’s Heavenly Tribulation wasn’t close, Hao Ren should have been in Zhao Hongyu’s studio helping her.

He was debating with himself if he should get up when he suddenly heard a gentle voice.

“Gongzi!”

He was so startled that he almost jumped out of his bed.

In pale blue casual clothing, the grinning Lu Linlin and Lu Lili pushed open his door and walked in.

“Why… Are you here?” Hao Ren pulled the quilt tightly around him and rolled to the corner of the bed.

“We are here to take care of you, Gongzi.” Lu Linlin walked closer with a grin. She pulled the quilt off him before handing him a change of clothes. “Gongzi, get up and change.”

“And your breakfast is in the living room,” with long pigtails on her back, Lu Lili said softly.

Seeing Hao Ren not moving, Lu Linlin asked again, “Do you want us to help you change?”

“No! No!” Hao Ren waved his hand immediately. “You can go out now.”

Lu Linlin lifted her hand to cover her snickering, and Lu Lili lowered her head and smiled.

They exchanged a look before backing out of his room with satisfaction. Hao Ren heaved a sigh of relief. Hurriedly, he took off his pajamas and changed into the clothes they gave him.

An ordinary guy would feel extremely happy to be followed by two beauties all day long. However, Hao Ren was alarmed by their sudden appearance.

Moreover, the Lu sisters were Kun-level Masters and thus couldn’t be driven away by force. Their ‘services’ were happy tortures.

After walking out of his room, Hao Ren went downstairs and saw a big breakfast on the dining table. He knew that their cooking skills were tolerable. Last time when Zhao Jiayi and the others got the runs after eating the cake the sisters made, the sisters attributed it to the elixir they added in the cake, but Hao Ren was skeptical.

Looking at the big breakfast, Hao Ren didn’t want to hurt their feelings by refusing to eat it. Yawning, he sat down with a frown before eating tentatively.

“Huh? This sandwich is delicious. This piece of bread is quite good. And this salad, too.” Seeing the surprise on Hao Ren’s face, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and smiled. “Gongzi, how are our cooking skills?”

Hao Ren looked up at them with surprise. “Excellent!”

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili gave him beautiful and content smile before saying in unison, “We are glad you like it!”

Then, they each grabbed a white apron and began to clean the house. The cold and quiet place suddenly became lively.

“Gongzi, we went and visited Taijun yesterday,” Lu Linlin said while handling the vacuum proficiently.

“Oh?” Hao Ren finished the breakfast and stood up.

“We are glad to report that Taijun is in good health, Gongzi,” Lu Lili added.

“Grandma must have been very pleased to see them. The sisters know how to make Grandma happy,” Hao Ren thought to himself.

They were indeed considerate since they spent a whole day visiting Grandma and keeping her company.

“Why do you want to come and do the cleaning for me?” Watching them in aprons like two maids, Hao Ren asked as he began to clear the table.

Today, they still had their hair up, but the difference was that they were wearing the decorative glasses they had once worn.

Combined with their beautiful faces and gorgeous figures, they looked as cute as buttons!

“Gongzi, we are here to apologize.” Lu Lili said, wiping the lamp with a cloth.

“Apologize?”

“Yeah, we shouldn’t have quarreled with your Class President that day,” Lu Lili continued.

Thinking of his mean attitude toward them, Hao Ren felt a bit guilty. “Don’t worry. I hope you won’t quarrel with people in the future.”

“We won’t!” Lu Lili promised with a smile. However, Lu Linlin didn’t speak, obviously still angry at Xie Yujia. Lu Lili must have dragged her here to apologize.

“And we have good news!” Lu Lili’s tone suddenly became joyous.

“What good news?” Her happiness lifted Hao Ren’s mood. The house had become lively with these two girls moving around.

“My sister and I have broken through!” Lu Lili’s eyes sparkled like twinkling stars.

“To… Low-tier Qian-level?” Hao Ren asked cautiously. He remembered Su Han had once told him that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had possessed powers equivalent to top-tier Kun-level when they were released from the Dragon Palace.

“Our cultivation power is not calculated with that system, but it’s equivalent to the level you just said!” Lu Lili’s face was full of joy.

By her side, Lu Linlin nodded as well.

Low-tier Qian-level!

Two Qian-level Masters! What was more? They were two Qian-level Masters who could coordinate with each other seamlessly.

Su Han was only at middle-tier Qian-level, and Zhao Kuo, who was preparing to the Heavenly Tribulation, was only at top-tier Qian-level!

“Anyway, we didn’t disappoint you and recovered some of our cultivation power,” Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren and said.

“Well, keep up your good work!” Hao Ren nodded. In fact, he didn’t know what to say.

He wouldn’t be surprised if they elevated to middle-tier Qian-level in a short time. No wonder Su Han was concerned about them.

“From what I see, your cultivation strength has also increased,” Lu Lili said as she looked at Hao Ren closely.

“Yeah. I have unlocked seven openings. I guess I will reach Li-level soon,” Hao Ren said.

“Gongzi, you are awesome!” They complimented him.

Ugh… Hao Ren was embarrassed, knowing that his progress was tiny compared with their leap from Kun-level to Qian-level.

“And you seem to have joined the Inspector System?” Lu Linlin gazed at Hao Ren and said.

“How do you know?” Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.

“There is a faint golden flame mark on your forehead. It’s the symbol of Inspector,” Lu Linlin poke his forehead with a finger and said.

Hao Ren couldn’t see his forehead, but he guessed that there must be a mark that could only be seen by cultivators. Although as an Assisting Inspector, he didn’t have much power, the mark was a protection to him.

Although he had never thought of asking Su Han for protection, he was grateful toward her.

Seeing the doubt on Lu Linlin’s face, Hao Ren explained, “I’m not an Official Inspector but just an assistant who runs errands for Su Han.”

“Assisting Inspector?” Lu Linlin pursed her lips in consideration. “As far as I know, Assisting Inspectors are usually not involved in the business of Dragon God Shrine and are only responsible to their Official Inspectors. But…”

She paused, and Hao Ren felt like something was not right.

“But what?” he asked.

“But the Assisting Inspectors have to be tested each year. If they don’t pass it, the consequence is huge…” Lu Linlin said.

“Damn!” Hao Ren almost yelled.

“Su Han, the sly woman! She played me again!” Hao Ren thought that Su Han was only doing a favor to him, but he was tricked into a corner by her.

“Well, according to what we know about it, the Assisting Inspectors are candidates for the positions of Official Inspectors. They are chosen and eliminated each year. Only those with true powers can work with the Official Inspectors. When their strengths grow strong enough, and they have passed the final test, they can become Official Inspectors,” Lu Lili added.

Hao Ren was incensed, knowing that he was tricked by Su Han.

“Beside the relationship of superior and subordinate, Assisting Inspectors and Official Inspectors are also partners. The Official Inspectors would tutor the Assisting Inspectors on cultivation while the Assisting Inspectors would help the Official Inspectors accomplish some tasks,” Lu Lili said.

“Stop! Stop!” Hao Ren raised his hand to stop them, feeling a huge headache. He asked the most important question, “Can I quit?”

“Once you become an Assisting Inspector, your name is registered in their headquarters. You have to pass the tests and become an Official Inspector before you can quit. If you quit without permission, you would be eliminated,” Lu Lili answered him.

“Eliminated…” Hao Ren heard the cruel word again.

Life was as cold as snow.
