  At the dinner table, Zhao Hongyu asked about Zhao Yanzi's school affairs, and Zhao Yanzi answered one by one. Hao Ren quietly ate his meal, listening to their conversation, without interrupting.

  The two women, mother and daughter, looked similar in appearance, but one was gentle and mature, while the other was delicate and lovely, complementing each other perfectly. Meanwhile, Zhao Ke seemed to be holding his breath, eating his food with a loud whooshing sound.

  Zhao Yanzi's father, Zhao Guang, looked like a wise and charismatic leader, but this Zhao Kuo should be his younger brother, with a vastly different personality - rough and straightforward. Moreover, he didn't resemble Zhao Guang's dignified appearance, instead having a dark and menacing look. Hao Ren thought to himself.

  Feeling Hao Ren staring at him, Zhao Kuai raised his head and suddenly glared at Hao Ren. The black-faced bearded man's appearance actually startled Hao Ren.

  After dinner, the mother-daughter conversation between Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Yanzi also came to an end. Zhao Hongyu stood up to clear the bowls and chopsticks, "Yanzi, go upstairs with Ah Ren to do your homework."

  Zhao Yan pouted, "I just finished eating and I want to watch TV for a while..."

  "No, it's too late. It's inconvenient for Ah Ren to go back." Zhao Hongyu flatly rejected Zhao Yanzi's request, giving her no room for negotiation at all.

  Zhao Yanzi helplessly pursed her lips, biting them again, and glared at Hao Ren with some annoyance, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances on him.

  "Hurry up and go to your supplementary lessons! Stop dawdling!" Zhao Hongyu urged.

  "Alright! Got it!" Zhao Yanzi walked towards the stairs, her footsteps clattering on the wooden staircase.

  Hao Ren smiled helplessly, picked up the documents and followed her upstairs. In his heart, he still hadn't considered Zhao Yanzi as his "fiancée", but just thought she was a troublesome little girl.

  Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuai saw them going upstairs and followed them up as well.

  "What are you going up there for?" Zhao Hongyu called out to him.

  "Heh heh...... Go take a look......" Zhao Kuai scratched his head, stiffened his scalp and went upstairs, answering with embarrassment.

  It's clear that he didn't trust Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren to be alone together, so he followed them up to supervise, of course also wanting to see what kind of person Hao Ren was, whether or not he could guide Zhao Yanzi's studies.

  Zhao Hongyu knew that Zhao Kuo was going to ruin the atmosphere, and she couldn't do anything about it. She let out a faint sigh and continued to clear the table.

  Hao Ren followed Zhao Yanzi into her room, and saw that San Shu also reluctantly followed in, somewhat unexpectedly. However, Zhao Kuo was after all his elder, and he was in Zhao Yanzi's room, so he had no reason to chase him out.

  Zhao Yan's small mouth pouted, and with an unhappy face, she sat down at her desk.

  Hao Ren opened the bag and pulled out a test paper, placing it in front of her. "Finish this test first."

  "I still have a lot of homework today!" Zhao Yanzi glared unfriendly at Hao Ren.

  "Or should I call your mom up here?" Hao Ren didn't want to waste his breath on her either, so he directly threw out a killer move.

  "Hmm!" Zhao Yanzi immediately surrendered, quickly pulled out the scroll, took out a pen, furrowed his brow and started doing it.

  These questions were all selected by Hao Ren from several exercise books, and they are very simple and basic. Giving her such a test is just to see what level she is at.

  Zhao Yanzi bit her pen tip and did one question after another. Hao Ren pulled a chair to sit beside her, quietly watching her.

  That Third Uncle Zhao quietly came over to take a look, but these dense English words gave him a headache, so he could only sit back in his original place, staring at Hao Ren.

  After almost half an hour, Zhao Yanzi finally finished this simple test paper. Hao Ren took it over and graded it in two minutes, only to surprisingly discover... Zhao Yanzi's English level... was really the worst of all.

  But seeing more and more big red X's on the test paper, Zhao Yanzi finally couldn't help it, "Hey! Am I wrong that many times?"

  "A 100-point exam paper, but you only scored 20 points!" Hao Ren waved the test paper in front of her.

  "You did it on purpose!" Zhao Yanzi's face turned pale with rage as he shouted.

  "Alright," Hao Ren put the test paper back on the desk, "let's start your formal lesson now."

  Zhao Yanzi let out a "pa" sound and had an expression of discontent all over her face.

  "This second question, you did it wrong. 'Finish' is a verb and should be modified by the adverb 'quickly'. It's saying that someone finished more quickly than others, so it should be 'more quickly', not 'more quick'." Hao Ren pointed at her mistake on the second question and said.

  Zhao Yan's face turned red, "I know! I was careless and made a mistake!"

  Hao Ren ignored her excuses and pointed to the third question, "In July, go to the beach on July 5th. The preposition before time, year, month, season, week, all use 'in', but if it's a specific day, you need to use 'on', and if it's a specific time, such as five o'clock, you need to use 'at'."

  "I knew that too! I just got dizzy!" Zhao Yanzi said with a sly smile.

  "And there's also question four..."

  "Question 6..."

  "Question 7, Question 8..."

  Hao Ren explained to her step by step, but Zhao Yanzi always had her own reasons, either she misread it or Hao Ren's notes were not clear enough, in short, it was never because her English was too poor.

  Later on, Zhao Kuang, who had been maintaining a detached attitude, finally couldn't bear it anymore and coughed twice, "Ah... Ah Zi, you should pay more attention in class."

  "Third Uncle! Is it his fault that the test was too tricky?" Zhao Yan said with a purple-red face, speaking to her third uncle.

  Hao Ren was speechless. These questions can be said to be the simplest and most basic in junior high school English, even if it's a first-year student, I estimate that they can do more than half of them.

  Third Uncle Zhao was a bit hot-tempered, but not stupid. He looked at Zhao Yanzi's appearance and knew that she really had a poor foundation, so his stance couldn't hold up either. "I think you'd better supplement your studies."

  "Third Uncle..." Zhao Yanzi shouted coquettishly, her face flushing bright red, looking embarrassed.

  "It's almost time, your dad should be back soon, I'll go first to avoid him nagging me again." Zhao Kou said.

  "Haha, Third Uncle is afraid of being scolded by my dad, right?" Zhao Yanzi suddenly said with a cheerful tone. She instantly felt like she had found an ally.

  Zhao Kuang's face was also a bit unbearable, "Anyway... I'll go back first!"

  "Alright! I'll send you!" Zhao Yanzi jumped up from her chair. Looking at her, she really had a good relationship with her third uncle.

  "Just send me downstairs...” Zhao Kuai said as he walked out of Zhao Yanzi's room.

  He didn't even say goodbye to Hao Ren, and it's clear that he still hasn't accepted Hao Ren from the bottom of his heart.

  Hao Ren was left alone in Zhao Yanzi's room, faintly hearing a soft whisper from the stairs: "Actually, he's not as bad as you think..."

  Next was the sound of conversation from downstairs.

  "Are you leaving? Zhao Guang will be back soon, don't you want to see him?"

  "Next time, next time, this time I'm mainly here to see A Zi..."

  "What if he says you're not practicing hard enough... Alright, be careful driving back..."

  Hao Ren perked up his ears wanting to hear more, but Zhao Yan Zi suddenly opened the door and went back into the room.

  "How hateful! Let me lose face in front of Third Uncle!" She said with a complaint as soon as she came in, facing Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren glared at her, "But you really did something wrong!"

  "Can't you just pretend I'm right for once!" She glared at Hao Ren in annoyance.

  Hao Ren smiled and didn't argue with her. This guy wasn't very capable, but he was quite particular about saving face.

  "Your third uncle seems to dislike you." Hao Ren changed the subject and said.

  "It's not just you, he simply looks down on ordinary people." Zhao Yanzi replied.

  Hao Ren didn't know what to say and his impression of San Shu dropped another three points in his heart.

  "He thinks you're not good enough for me. But don't worry, he's all bark and no bite." Zhao Yanzi said straightforwardly.

  "Actually, I still don't understand you guys. Last time Lao Zhang gave me the 'Jing Shen Jue', what is it exactly?" Hao Ren asked her.

  "That's the most basic technique, without any practical use, it's just for purifying the body." Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren, "However, I see that you've practiced for so many days, but it seems like there's no reaction at all."

  Seeing her disdainful gaze, Hao Ren knew that this time, it was her turn to strike him.

  "Didn't we agree that I'd teach you your lessons and you'd teach me martial arts? If my skills aren't improving, it's only natural to say that your teaching isn't good," Hao Ren said immediately.

  "Pffft! I didn't teach you before!" Zhao Yanzi glared at her with wide eyes.

  "Then you start talking now." Hao Ren sat down and looked at her.

  Zhao Yan's head tilted to the side as he thought for a moment, "Our dragon clan's cultivation method is divided into... hmm... Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, and Kan, these eight levels. Hmm... The highest level of Qian, is also known as Tian level, anyway, it's roughly like that. You're not even at the entry level yet, when your body is strengthened to a certain extent, my dad or Lu Zhanglao will teach you the true heart method, and when you reach Kan level, then you can be considered a true beginner."

  Looking at her stuttering, Hao Ren guessed that she must have practiced poorly in the past. In fact, Hao Ren was right, Zhao Yanzi had no interest in these mental methods and practiced half-heartedly, but considered herself superior and eager to succeed, so she made mistakes and fell into Hao Ren's arms - her parents forcing her to marry Hao Ren wasn't a punishment for her?

  "So I practice your skills, is there any danger?" Hao Ren was concerned about this. Now that things have come to this point, he has recovered from his confusion over the past few days and truly accepted the current situation.

  "Of course it's dangerous! At best, you'll lose a hand or foot; at worst, you'll die on the spot!" Zhao Yanzi said seriously.

  Hao Ren was stunned on the spot, "This..."

  "So it's pretty good now, you practice on my behalf, and I'll save some effort." She put on a smiling face, intentionally provoking Hao Ren.

  She was actually thinking of this... However, practicing has its dangers, and it's likely that she is just scaring herself, while she can escape from the dullness of practice, which should be her true comfort zone.

  "Alright, if you want to substitute, then substitute. Anyway, you'll be marrying me in the future." Hao Ren raised two thumbs and touched them together, "At that time..."

  "Get out!" Zhao Yan's face suddenly changed, his silver teeth biting his red lips, and he swung a punch at Hao Ren's cheek.
