"It's really you, You Nianwei!"

The Zhao family's daughter is using a different surname, there must be hidden reasons behind this.

"Wanwan, are you hiding something from me?

Husband and wife should not keep secrets from each other, right?

Isn't that right, You Nianwei!"

Ye Tian said with a smile that wasn't really a smile.

"I... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have kept it a secret!"

"So, you're really not called Zhao Wanwan? Your name is You Nianwei!

There are some things I'm curious about. Why do you have the surname You? Didn't you say your father is the third elder of the Zhao family?"

Ye Tian teased, he was very curious.

As soon as she heard the words "third elder," You Nianwei's emotions changed drastically.

She showed inexplicable anger, her eyes staring fixedly at the wine bottle from last night, her teeth grinding and her fists clenched tightly.

Ye Tian also noticed this detail.

"Don't mention that beast! He's not my father!"

Next, Ye Tian listened to her tell a melodramatic family drama.

Back then, You Nianwei's mother, Song Ruyan, was forcibly married by Zhao Liren, her supposed father, and gave birth to a daughter, Zhao Wanwan, nine months later.

For her, her childhood was miserable.

Her mother was constantly abused, and she was often involved as well.

When she mentioned this, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

When she was a little older, her mother solemnly told her that her biological father was You Wuwei...

And to mourn her deceased husband, she gave her another name - You Nianwei.

She only used this name when she went out to gain experience, but later she was afraid that Zhao Liren would find out, so she buried this name in her heart.

A few years ago, her mother couldn't bear the humiliation and died of depression.

Since that day, she secretly vowed to make Zhao Liren suffer!

As she spoke, You Nianwei burst into tears.

She was angry at her own weakness, unable to avenge her parents, and even had to recognize the thief as her father...

She vented all the pent-up resentment, humiliation, and helplessness.

Ye Tian gently patted her back and comforted her.

"Zhao Liren? I'll remember that name!"

"From today on, I'll be your support!

Your enemy is my enemy!"

"One day, I will lead you to break through the gates of the Zhao family and make Zhao Liren pay the price he deserves!"

Then, Ye Tian took out the cultivation technique "Heavenly Yin Emperor's Liberation Technique" that the system had just rewarded and handed it to her.

"In the future, you should cultivate this technique!

Before long, you will find that the so-called Zhao family is nothing but ants in your eyes!"

After briefly browsing through the technique, You Nianwei felt that it was extremely exquisite, as if it was designed specifically for her.

"It looks very powerful, I'll give it a try!"

She tried to circulate a large cycle of energy, and the spiritual energy flowing in her meridians was dozens of times stronger than before.

It was terrifying!

While she was familiarizing herself with the new technique, Ye Tian began to examine the other two Divine Abilities rewarded by the system.

Divine Abilities were a way to release the endless spiritual energy from the dantian in an instant using specific methods.

The power of destruction they possessed was extremely terrifying!

The two Divine Abilities rewarded by the system were even more exceptional!

"Primordial Azure Divine Eye" could condense spiritual power at the brow, and during a fight, the spiritual light from the brow could sever the consciousness attached to a Law Weapon, not only damaging the opponent's consciousness but also seizing their Spiritual Weapon. It played a crucial role in turning the tide of battle.

As for the "Dragon Slaying Divine Sword Technique," it was a Divine Ability for killing. By using the divine sword as a medium, it could summon the power of dazzling thunder and possess immense deterrence and destructive power!

The third reward was even more unparalleled.

With the blessing, even a playboy...

Retreat... retreat... retreat!

Moreover, it could also enhance the aptitude of future generations.

It was truly the cornerstone of the prosperity and flourishing of a family.

...

An hour later, You Nianwei stopped cultivating, her face filled with astonishment.

"Husband, is this the peerless technique you obtained from somewhere?

My body actually completely matches it...

Thank you, husband!"

Ye Tian waved his hand and pretended to be profound.

"That was given to me by a mysterious powerful being!

It's your destined fortune..."

Hearing this, You Nianwei no longer asked further.

Suddenly, she remembered something and spoke up.

"Before I came here, the head of the Zhao family personally instructed me to investigate the news of the Ye family ancestor..."

Ye Tian's expression became serious.

"It's not very decent for the Zhao family to pass on family secrets through marriage!"

It seems that their purpose for the alliance is not pure!

Sometimes, due to face-saving considerations, relatives may intentionally or unintentionally reveal some family secrets.

But it is too much for the Zhao family to blatantly investigate the news of the Ye family's ancestors!

This has made Ye Tian's wariness towards the Zhao family increase even more.

...

In a secluded residence of the Zhao family,

"Clan leader, Rong'er has realized her mistake, please spare her...

She is still young, she has a bright future..."

The woman cried with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful, while also tempting the clan leader...

This... this... this is a test for the clan leader, which clan leader can withstand such a test?

"Zhao Rong'er knew about the marriage plan, yet she still got involved with an outsider!

And indirectly caused the deaths of two disciples from our family...

If the Ye family finds out that it was our people who attacked them, the consequences would be unimaginable!

It might even affect the grand plan of the ancestors!

Is she capable of bearing this responsibility?"

What does the woman know?

In her eyes, the clan leader is just someone who wants more...

So she cried even harder, while also revealing her thin veil!

This is trouble, the clan leader ultimately couldn't uphold his principles...

A few days later, Zhao Rong'er, who was released from confinement, unexpectedly became pregnant...

Being unmarried and pregnant is a great shame for a large family, so the news was tightly sealed.

...

During these days, Ye Tian's economic situation became tight due to having another partner.

Ye Tian once again devoted himself to the business of making talismans.

For ordinary high-grade first-tier spirit talismans, he could already control the success rate at around 70%, even for some more difficult talismans, he achieved a success rate of 60%.

Ye Tian sold all the talismans he made to the family warehouse. Although the price was slightly lower than the market, they were durable and safe.

Due to practice makes perfect, Ye Tian's speed in making talismans was very fast, with one talisman quickly stacking on top of another.

When he brought hundreds of talismans to the warehouse at once, the receiving elder showed a shocked expression.

"Oh my, did you make all of these by yourself?

How long did it take you?"

Ye Tian smiled and replied,

"It took about half a month...

If the family can't consume them all, I'll think of other ways."

The elder was stunned for a moment and said unkindly,

"Make several times more, the family won't find it too much!

There is a great demand for these high-grade first-tier talismans among cultivators!

You focus on making them, and you don't need to worry about selling them!"

"In a few days, I will report to the family, and you won't have to take on external tasks anymore!

You can focus on improving your talisman-making skills. Isn't that better than mixing in the market?"

Ye Tian felt secretly delighted.

Although he had freedom outside, there was still no place like home...

When he left, Ye Tian encountered a cousin he had seen before.

"Sixteen brother, are you also here to exchange for pills?

The family's pills have been in short supply recently. Second brother, fifth brother, and thirteenth brother have all exchanged a large number of pills, wanting to improve their cultivation before the Chuzhou competition!"

Ye Tian shook his head, his mind filled with thoughts.

"Are the rewards for the Chuzhou competition very generous? Why do they value it so much?"

"Never mind, I'll inquire about it in a few days. If it's suitable, I can also participate!"

...

A month later, the Chuzhou martial arts competition was held as scheduled.

As a direct descendant of the Ye family, Ye Tian also participated in the opening ceremony.

"The Chuzhou competition is a grand event in the entire Chuzhou cultivation world, with a history of several hundred years!"

"As long as you are under thirty years old and have reached the late stage of Qi Refining, you can participate!

We encourage everyone to sign up!"

The clan leaders of the three major families stood on the stage and officially announced,

"Fellow Daoists, the biennial martial arts competition will officially begin tomorrow!

As usual, our three major families have each prepared two treasures as rewards for the top three!

Anyone with the ability can sign up, and we welcome all participants!"

According to the rules, the champion can freely choose three treasures, and the runner-up can choose two from the remaining three treasures.

"Please take a look, these six treasures are the rewards for this competition!"

Ye Tian quickly scanned them and had a rough idea in his mind.

Two of these treasures reached the mid-grade second-tier level, while the other four were lower-grade second-tier.

For the Chuzhou region, this reward was already quite generous, enough to attract various independent cultivators and small families.

"No wonder those people in the family value it so much!"

[Ding!]
