The two girls looked on with somewhat sad expressions, but they also knew that having too many people around could be inconvenient, so they sighed.
"Then, Young Master Tang, come back early. If there's any problem, contact us."
"Alright, when I'm not at home, you two train and don't relax."
Tang Yu pinched the small faces of the two girls and smiled, "First, eat. After eating, I'll take you both shopping at the mall."
After eating, Tang Yu took the two girls to a nearby shopping mall, and they started their shopping spree.
The two girls mostly bought clothes and similar things.
What Tang Yu bought was much simpler.
Brand-name cosmetics and watches.
He practically emptied the store.
As a result, he almost made the saleswomen want to take him to the fitting room to thank him for his generosity as a sponsor.
When they left the mall, Tang Yu was carrying two large suitcases.
Everything he had just bought—watches and cosmetics—was inside.
"Young Master Tang, why did you buy so many watches and cosmetics?"
Chi Yin looked at him with a completely confused expression.
Even with money, no one spends like this.
"When you go to a place where you don't know anyone, you have to bring some courtesy gifts. That's how you behave in society," Tang Yu smiled.
If you approach people with money, there's no problem.
If not, you'd end up like a protagonist in a novel, with a face that invites hatred wherever you go—how stupid would that be?
"Alright."
The two girls sighed. No wonder he was Young Master Tang, always thinking of everything.
--------------------
After walking for hours on a small mountain path, Ye Qiu realized that his phone no longer had signal.
It was like walking into a primordial forest.
Ahead of him, the path was narrowing more and more.
Just as he was about to reach a dead-end, suddenly his view expanded.
A silver waterfall cascaded vertically, and Ye Qiu, several meters away, could already feel the cool breeze of the water.
"This is it."
Upon seeing the waterfall, Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes.
According to the information he had received, this was the entrance to the Alliance of the Nine Heavens.
When he first heard about it, it sounded too strange, almost made up.
But the one who gave him the information was the Elder. When he learned that the rest of the [Sky] team had been annihilated, he didn't get angry; he simply asked him to focus on completing the mission.
Once the mission was completed, the Ye family would not only be revived, but…
The Elder would also return to China!
When that happened, the rise of the Ye family would be unstoppable, and all their enemies would pay with blood.
The first of those enemies would be Tang Yu.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu lunged towards the waterfall.
He thought there would be a cave or some kind of passage behind it.
But he didn't expect that when he passed through the waterfall, the scenery would completely change, and suddenly he was back at the Lin family?
At that moment, he was sitting at the table with a knife and fork in hand.
His mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Huanxi were all at the table.
But they weren't eating; they were just looking at him with contempt, as always.
"When will you leave my daughter, you damn animal? What sin did the Lin family commit to have to raise a useless man like you?"
"Ay! I've never seen such a pathetic man. All he knows how to do is wash clothes and cook. He was born to be a slave."
Hou Caichun and Lin Shengxi began to insult him.
He instinctively looked at Lin Huanxi.
Back when they used to have dinner at home, every time his mother-in-law and the others said something unpleasant, Lin Huanxi would always intervene to defend him.
Lin Huanxi looked at him and calmly said, "Eat quickly. After dinner, you can go out and have fun, and come back at night. I don't want Young Master Tang to come home and find you here."
"…"
Ye Qiu's face immediately turned green. The scene around him changed again, this time transforming into the hallway of a couple's hotel.
He was in front of a room's door, leaning against it, listening to the conversation coming from inside.
Inside, there was a couple on the bed, saying all sorts of dirty things.
Just from a bit of listening, Ye Qiu recognized the voices of Tang Yu and Huanxi.
Those obscene words hurt his heart, but at the same time, they excited him.
Soon, the scene changed again.
"It's been a long time since anyone dared to intrude into our Alliance of the Nine Heavens. Wasn't the last time eight years ago?"
At that moment, a few meters away from Ye Qiu, an old man with a child-like face and white hair was smiling while pondering.
Next to him stood a middle-aged man.
In front of the middle-aged man was a large incense burner. A red incense stick burned in the burner, releasing a refreshing fragrance.
After hearing the old man, the middle-aged man respectfully replied.
"That's true. Those who manage to enter our Alliance of the Nine Heavens are truly fortunate. I don't know how long this young man will be able to hold on, what does the Second Elder think?"
All outsiders entering the Alliance of the Nine Heavens must pass this test, known as the "Heart Test."
During this test, participants experience a series of illusions related to human emotions and desires.
The faster they wake up from the illusions, the stronger their willpower is proven to be.
For example, regarding the incense that is burning, those who manage to awaken within half an incense stick can already be considered geniuses.
These people will have great achievements in martial arts in the future.
But even among geniuses, those who manage to awaken within one incense stick are few.
Those who awaken after one incense stick are considered competent.
However, if someone does not awaken after two incense sticks, according to the rules of the Alliance of the Nine Heavens, the gatekeeper must knock them out and throw them out.
The Alliance of the Nine Heavens does not accept useless people.
And the last situation is when the incense goes out.
If the incense goes out, it means that the person has bad intentions towards the Alliance of the Nine Heavens. In that case, the gatekeeper must knock the person out and hand them over to the elders to deal with.
The Second Elder laughed, looked at Ye Qiu, and realized that this young man had already reached the peak of the [Sky] level.
This talent was quite impressive, even among the youth of the Alliance of the Nine Heavens.
Smiling, the Second Elder predicted, "I bet he won't last more than one incense stick. If I lose, bring me some good wine."
"The Second Elder should bet half an incense stick. If you lose, you'll bring me plum wine. If I win, you'll teach me your secrets of the 'Fist of the Nine Fires'," said the middle-aged man while rubbing his hands and smiling.
The Second Elder was about to refuse when, suddenly, Ye Qiu shouted furiously: "Tang Yu, damn you!"
After the shout, the Second Elder looked at the incense, which had only burned a quarter.
Is this guy that incredible? Has he already passed the Heart Test so quickly?
This would be the fastest record in the history of the Alliance of the Nine Heavens.
The Second Elder pointed at the middle-aged man and laughed, saying, "Good boy! As you said, tomorrow you'll bring me the plum wine."
The middle-aged man frowned, wishing he had slapped himself a couple of times.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was already full of anger, shaking with rage.
Damn it, right at that moment, he saw how the scene around him changed again.
Now, he was tied to a chair, unable to move.
And the damn Tang, in front of him, was with Lin Huanxi and Yang Zhilan, in what seemed like an even more humiliating scene.
The extreme fury and emotion made him immediately wake up.
