"Then many thanks, Sect Leader Ye Chen~" Ye Chen smiled slightly and took it.
Something for free, why not take it?
Getting something for free from Tang San to disgust him, just thinking about it was exciting.
Moreover, Ye Chen felt that if hidden weapons were combined with his first Martial Soul, the Silver Needle, the effect should be very strong.
At the same time, cultivating Tang Sect's unique skills would also allow him to gain Tang Ya's trust and goodwill more easily, bringing many benefits.
"Oh, right, I haven't signed in yet…"
Ye Chen seemed to have thought of something and immediately chose to sign in.
[Sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent "Heaven-Defying Comprehension"]
[Heaven-Defying Comprehension: You can easily master all cultivation techniques and spells you practice, Comprehension +10000]
"The system is really good, a timely rain! With this comprehension boost, I should be able to master all skills to max level very quickly!"
Ye Chen's mood immediately brightened upon seeing the reward.
Tang Ya was truly a treasure, giving both cultivation methods and rewards.
Hmm, if she gave herself, that would be even better…
As he spoke, Ye Chen's gaze lingered on Tang Ya.
Tang Ya was already very beautiful, and with her high ponytail, she perfectly embodied the image of a standard senior student in the academy.
Ma Xiaotao was a fiery older sister.
Tang Ya was a gentle senior student.
Each had her own charm.
As for Bei Bei…
Bei Bei only managed to enter Tang Ya's heart when she was at her most vulnerable, guided by Mu En.
Tang Ya might have feelings for Bei Bei, but it was definitely not yet at the level of true love.
Tang Ya's entire family was annihilated, and only she escaped.
Mu En received the news immediately and instructed Bei Bei to "accidentally" meet Tang Ya.
At that time, Tang Ya's heart was dead; let alone Bei Bei, if any slightly gentle, kind, and powerful man had replaced him, there would have been a 99% chance of capturing Tang Ya's heart.
Ye Chen even suspected that all of this was intentional on Mu En's part…
After all, Mu En was no benevolent person.
To make Zhang Lexuan Bei Bei's child bride, he casually slaughtered an entire noble family to help Zhang Lexuan get revenge.
Ye Chen always believed in one principle—no one who could become a Titled Douluo was a kind-hearted person.
As long as a Titled Douluo wanted to, they would kill you without hesitation, regardless of whether you were innocent.
"Junior, what are you thinking about?" Tang Ya saw Ye Chen suddenly lost in thought and waved her hand in front of him.
Because she was too close, Tang Ya's fragrant scent wafted towards Ye Chen.
"Nothing~"
Ye Chen inhaled the faint, elegant fragrance at his nose and smiled slightly, "Xiao Ya Jie, are you free today? Since I've joined the Tang Sect, it's only right that I treat you to a meal."
Although the world was different, treating someone to a meal and drinks was still one of the fastest ways to deepen a relationship.
"No, no, no, I should be treating you~"
Tang Ya smiled gracefully and then said, "Also, my name is Tang Ya. You can call me Xiao Ya Jie normally, but when we're working, you must address me by my title, okay~"
"Okay, Tang… no, Xiao Ya Jie~" Ye Chen chuckled.
"Naughty~"
Tang Ya charmingly rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, then said, "Alright, alright, let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious~ After dinner, I'll introduce you to the other two members of our Tang Sect. You've met one, that's Junior Yuhao, and the other is my… hmm, my classmate Bei Bei."
For some reason, Tang Ya didn't want Ye Chen to know about her relationship with Bei Bei.
Actually, Bei Bei had never truly confessed, and she and Bei Bei hadn't officially established a romantic relationship.
It was just a mutual understanding; they both tacitly agreed to be a couple.
Moreover, for this meal, she also somewhat didn't want to invite Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao…
After all, this was a dinner between the Tang Sect Leader and the Vice Sect Leader; ordinary Tang Sect disciples like Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao naturally weren't qualified to sit at the table.
…
…
…
At this moment, at the entrance of Shrek, a handsome young man in a school uniform approached Huo Yuhao's stall, his face filled with anxiety.
The person was Bei Bei.
"Yuhao, have you seen Xiao Ya Jie?"
Bei Bei seemed to be looking for Tang Ya, but couldn't find her, so he came to Huo Yuhao.
Because today was the anniversary of his first meeting with Tang Ya.
On such an important day, he definitely wanted to have a candlelight dinner and some wine with Tang Ya.
But he had searched the dorm, asked Tang Ya's classmates, and still hadn't seen Tang Ya.
Normally, Tang Ya would be at Huo Yuhao's stall at this time, selling grilled fish together and secretly snacking a bit.
But she wasn't here today, which was a bit strange…
"Eh, I don't know. Teacher Xiao Ya Jie was just here, wasn't she?"
Huo Yuhao looked around, found that Tang Ya was gone, and subconsciously scratched his head.
He had been too focused on grilling fish just now and hadn't paid attention to Tang Ya.
"Then I'll go look elsewhere." Bei Bei said, turning to leave.
"Hey, just now…"
Huo Yuhao was about to say something, but Bei Bei was already gone.
"Sigh."
Huo Yuhao sighed.
He actually wanted to say that Tang Ya seemed to have left with Ye Chen just now.
But Bei Bei left too quickly, and he didn't have time to say it.
However, telling Bei Bei wouldn't have helped, as he didn't know where Ye Chen and Tang Ya were either.
…
…
…
At the same time.
Shrek City, Seven Treasure Hotel.
Due to Ning Tian, Ye Chen became a diamond VIP of the Seven Treasure Hotel, with all consumption at a 50% discount, and… all expenses were charged to Ning Tian's account.
Although there was a suspicion of being a kept man, Ye Chen still accepted it happily.
He had a sensitive stomach since he was young, and the doctor said he should eat more soft food.
"Ye Chen, this hotel is very expensive…"
Tang Ya saw Ye Chen bring her to the Seven Treasure Hotel and immediately hesitated.
She regretted offering to treat him; a meal at this hotel would surely exhaust her entire month's income.
Her current money was her parents' legacy, meant for rebuilding the Tang Sect, so she couldn't spend it like this…
"Don't worry, Xiao Ya Jie, I'm a diamond VIP at this hotel. All consumption is 50% off, and this meal is on me."
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Ah, isn't that inappropriate…" Tang Ya felt a bit embarrassed; how could the Vice Sect Leader treat her?
"I just joined the Tang Sect. In the future, I'll need Sect Leader Tang's guidance, so this meal should naturally be on me." Ye Chen gave Tang Ya an excuse.
"Mm-hmm~ Alright then~"
Tang Ya felt a bit more at ease upon hearing this and patted her chest, promising, "If you have any questions about cultivating Mystic Heaven Skill and Tang Sect's unique skills in the future, just ask me. I'll definitely answer you carefully~"
"Mm, then I'll trouble Xiao Ya Jie~" Ye Chen smiled slightly.
"Don't mention it, you're already the Vice Sect Leader of my Tang Sect, so I naturally have to take good care of you~" Tang Ya said, feeling a bit shy.
The two exchanged sincere pleasantries, and then entered the VIP private room.
Soon, all sorts of delicacies were served.
Not only had Tang Ya never seen these, but even Ye Chen hadn't eaten them.
The atmosphere in the room was very good, and their conversation gradually deepened…
