“Huh?”

Hao Ren was surprised by the information.

“Right now, the Dragon God Shrine thinks that my severe injury has damaged my cultivation strength, making me unable to carry out my duties as an inspector. With the absence of an official inspector in East Ocean City, Qin Shaoyang took the opportunity to move here,” Su Han continued.

Hao Ren knew Qin Shaoyang belonged to the Metal-Elemental Dragon Clan which had the least number of members but enjoyed the greatest individual cultivation strengths. Their average cultivation strength was closest to the Heavenly Dragon Realm, allowing them to enjoy a high status in the Dragon Tribe.

As a metal-elemental dragon, Qin Shaoyang had a unique position in the Inspector System. While Su Han was absent in supervising the East Ocean City for weeks, he took the opportunity and used his connections to move to the city.

“And… what’s your plan?” Hao Ren asked her.

“My vital essence is still recovering, and I need to solidify the realm after the breakthrough that the godly elixir pills helped me achieve. I plan to rest for a while in the dragon palace. Besides, I don’t want to meet Qin Shaoyang, so I will watch how things go from the sideline,” Su Han said.

“In other words, you will pretend you have not recovered from your severe injury and won’t come out to fight for the position of regional inspector with Qin Shaoyang. In this way, you can find out what Qin Shaoyang is up to, Right?” Hao Ren asked her.

Su Han smiled and didn’t answer. But secretly, she admired his quick thinking.

The godly elixir pills had better effects than she had expected. In fact, she was now more powerful than before. If Qin Shaoyang didn’t experience a major breakthrough, she could suppress him with ease. However, she wanted to observe the Dragon God Shrine’s attitude on this issue.

Last time, the Dragon God Shrine had reassigned Qin Shaoyang to the cold and remote place in the Northwest to satisfy Su Han. After all, she was one of the most powerful regional inspectors, and the Inspector System would suffer a significant loss if she resigned from her position. That was why the Dragon God Shrine would instead give a small punishment to Qin Shaoyang to keep Su Han.

If the inspectors were injured, they could return to the Dragon God Shrine to recover. With abundant resources, it had lots of elixirs and healing methods, much more than what the East Ocean Dragon Clan could offer her.

However, according to the rules, if the regional inspectors returned to the Dragon God Shrine for a period of seclusion cultivation to recover from injuries, the shrine would send another inspector to take over the area. Su Han didn’t return to the Dragon God Shrine because she didn’t want to give up her position as the inspector of East Ocean City.

However, in this crucial moment, Qin Shaoyang arrived at the East Ocean City to temporarily take over the supervision duty, which signaled the change of attitude of the Dragon God Shrine had toward her.

No matter if it was distrust or something else, both the Dragon God Shrine and Qin Shaoyang thought Su Han was less powerful than before.

For the East Ocean City, the city closest to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, as well as the other three adjacent big cities to the other three ocean dragon palaces, the Dragon God Shrine had sent Qian-level inspectors to supervise them. In this sense, the four regional inspectors were the elites of the elites in the Inspector System, and they had the highest ranks, powers, and cultivation strengths.

As to the patrolling inspectors, they could interfere with the business in any area in theory, but the four big cities closet to the four ocean dragon palaces were the absolute territories of the four regional inspectors; other inspectors wouldn’t dare to interfere in their businesses.

As a high-ranking patrolling inspector, Qin Shaoyang had impulsively come to the East Ocean City and interfered in the business between East Ocean and West Ocean, challenging Su Han’s authority in the area. That was why he was reassigned to the remote place in the Northwest as a regional inspector of a small area.

“When will he come?” Hao Ren asked Su Han.

“Very soon. I don’t plan to meet him, but you are my assisting inspector and will meet him face to face. Of course, you don’t have to be afraid of him. If he dares to mess with you, I’ll deal with him,” Su Han said lightly.

Her tone was calm, but her eyes were sharp.

As an assisting inspector, even if Hao Ren was in the wrong, it was the Dragon God Shrine’s duty to punish him. If Qin Shaoyang dared to make trouble for her assistant, Su Han wouldn’t stand by and watch!

“Ok, I got it.” Hao Ren nodded. Now that he had unlocked 75 openings, and his cultivation strength had grown dozens of times, he was much more powerful than before. Even though he was still no match for Qin Shaoyang, a Kun-level cultivator, he wasn’t that afraid.

“I just came to see you. It’s late; I’ll head back now,” Hao Ren glanced at her and said with a smile.

“Ok.” Su Han nodded with a little smile. She then walked Hao Ren to the door with rare gentleness.

“One more thing.” She said crisply, “The godly elixir pills you gave me had better effects than the level 9 golden pills. Maybe we can try again and break into the Nine Dragon Palace.”

“Do you know where the Nine Dragon Palace is?” Hao Ren turned his head and asked.

“The highest position it can go is Eighth Heaven; it’s definitely not in Eighth Heaven. If we try, I think we can find it eventually,” Su Han said.

In the past, she had never elevated realms with the help of elixirs, but the effects of the godly elixir pills gave her a great surprise. It was tough to see cultivation progress after reaching mid-tier Qian-level, and it was almost impossible to reach a higher realm strictly by cultivation. She knew the East Ocean Dragon Palace had some godly elixir pills, but she didn’t hope to get any from them. That was why she wanted to take the risk and break into the Nine Dragon Palace again.

“Ok. When you go, take me with you.” Hao Ren agreed without thinking.

His immediate agreement surprised Su Han.

“Except the ancient godly elixir pills, there are lots of ancient cultivation techniques and ancient dharma treasures. If we can go in, we can look around and find some.” With that, he pushed open the door and walked out.

Hao Ren’s casual words excited Su Han. After all, there were countless treasures and opportunities in the Nine Dragon Palace. If she could find a suitable primitive cultivation technique to unlock the ancient godly dragon bloodline, then her dream of becoming a Heavenly Dragon would come true.

Looking at Hao Ren who was leaving, Su Han circulated nature essence through her unblocked meridians and found that Hao Ren’s cultivation strength had improved a lot.

“From the looks of his aura, he seemed to be on the verge of reaching Gen-level,” she thought.

She lowered her head and calculated. “Only a few days passed, and Hao Ren had unlocked more than 20 openings! His talent is ordinary, and his technique is slow and steady. Did I, a Qian-level cultivator, misjudge him?”

If she didn’t protect Hao Ren, she wouldn’t have been injured so severely. But now looking back, she felt like her sacrifice was worth it…
