Even with Tang Zhuozhuo's composure, her heart pounded wildly!
"Wow, second sister, this scoundrel is so romantic!"
Tang Tangtang's eyes sparkled at the thought of seeing fireworks all over the capital every year on this day.
"Second sister, why do I feel this guy looks so much more pleasing to the eye now?"
Tang Tangtang tilted her head, looking at Ye Kunlun, who appeared calm. "It seems pretty good to have him as our brother-in-law."
Tang Yaoyao hadn't expected Tang Tangtang to be so easily won over by Ye Kunlun!
The sisters had originally intended to persuade Tang Zhuozhuo further.
But now, Tang Tangtang had directly defected.
"It is indeed not bad!"
Tang Yaoyao echoed Tang Tangtang's sentiment.
Even in the capital, there were only a handful of men who could gift the White Horse Club to Tang Zhuozhuo and set off fireworks across the city for her.
Crucially, none of them were to Tang Zhuozhuo's liking!
Tang Yaoyao could see that her eldest sister's heart had already been moved by Ye Kunlun.
Hearing Ye Kunlun's words, which even he found a bit mushy, Changsun Han's sneer froze on his face.
"Zhuozhuo isn't someone so vulgar, it's just a fireworks show!"
Though he spoke those words, Changsun Han felt his face burning.
Setting aside whether this fireworks spectacle was vulgar or not.
He saw Tang Zhuozhuo's expression; she clearly liked it very much!
"Damn it!"
Changsun Han cursed inwardly. His meticulously acquired 'Glory of the Blue Star' seemed inferior to Ye Kunlun's fireworks show?
"As long as you like it, next is my third birthday gift for you!"
Ye Kunlun smiled faintly, gazing at Tang Zhuozhuo, who looked countless times more beautiful today than when he had first met her.
Everyone perked up their ears, filled with anticipation.
Ye Kunlun's first two surprises had already caused enough shock; surely the third gift would be even more dazzling?
Even Tang Zhuozhuo's anticipation grew.
"I want to see what your third birthday gift can be!"
Changsun Han snorted.
"Do you know about the auction at Purple Smoke Tower yesterday?"
Ye Kunlun's question was directed at Changsun Han.
Changsun Han's eyebrows shot up, and he replied proudly, "Of course I do. It's just that the Spirit Breaking Pill holds no value for our Changsun family. Otherwise, how could it have fallen into the hands of the Nangong family!"
Tang Zhuozhuo naturally knew as well.
As members of the Seven Clans, they had received invitations to last night's auction at Purple Smoke Tower, but they had no particular need for the Spirit Breaking Pill.
Furthermore, Nangong Lie had privately extended an invitation.
Therefore, except for the Ji family, the other five families did not participate in the bidding!
"I heard that the Tang family's Old Madam fell seriously ill three years ago and requires daily treatment?"
Ye Kunlun shifted his gaze back to Tang Zhuozhuo.
Seeing Ye Kunlun mention her grandmother, Tang Zhuozhuo nodded, her eyes filling with old sorrow. "Grandmother's spirit grows weaker each day. Elder Physician Yu also saw her two years ago, but only prescribed a regimen for her condition..."
"My third birthday gift is the Nine Yuan Pill, which is as renowned as the Spirit Breaking Pill!"
A smile curved Ye Kunlun's lips. "The Spirit Breaking Pill can help one break through to the Heavenly level and enter the Spirit Opening realm, becoming a cultivator!"
"As for the Nine Yuan Pill, it is a sacred healing item. Even with just a breath left, it can pull a person back from the brink of death!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Of course!"
Changsun Han, however, was dismissive and scoffed, "What kind of bragging is this? The Spirit Breaking Pill is a Grade Nine Heavenly pill. How could your so-called Nine Yuan Pill be as famous as the Spirit Breaking Pill!"
"Not to mention anything else, do you know the final price of the Spirit Breaking Pill last night? One hundred and forty billion!"
Changsun Han simply didn't believe Ye Kunlun would give a pill worth one hundred and forty billion to Tang Zhuozhuo.
Even their Changsun family couldn't afford one hundred and forty billion as a dowry.
"One hundred and forty billion?!"
Many people present, though from wealthy families, were still leagues apart from the Seven Clans of the capital.
They couldn't even fathom spending one hundred and forty billion on a single pill.
"Moreover, the gentleman who authenticated the Spirit Breaking Pill at Purple Smoke Tower is currently a guest at our Changsun family!"
Changsun Han revealed a hint of smugness. "Your so-called Nine Yuan Pill, daring to compare itself to the Spirit Breaking Pill, is merely fooling Zhuozhuo!"
"Idiot!"
Ye Kunlun cursed, and a white porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, containing a Nine Yuan Pill.
"Take it."
Ye Kunlun handed the Nine Yuan Pill to Tang Zhuozhuo.
Tang Zhuozhuo took it dazedly. While touched, she was also somewhat disbelieving. "Can the Nine Yuan Pill inside truly save my grandmother?"
"Zhuozhuo, don't listen to his nonsense, he's just trying to fool you!"
Changsun Han jumped out again. "Think about it, this medicine is of unknown origin. What if something happens to Granny Tang after she takes it..."
Changsun Han was once again sowing discord, aiming for a fatal blow!
Tang Zhuozhuo indeed hesitated to take such a risk, as even the esteemed Physician Yu couldn't cure her grandmother's illness.
Changsun Han's eyes darted, and a malicious plan formed in his mind.
"Zhuozhuo, how about this? Since this brother claims this Nine Yuan Pill can treat Granny Tang, let's gather at the Tang family tomorrow and have my Changsun family's distinguished guest authenticate the quality of this pill in front of everyone. How does that sound?"
As long as Ye Kunlun dared to agree, he was confident he could utterly disgrace Ye Kunlun in front of the Tang family!
Knowing Tang Zhuozhuo would protect Ye Kunlun, Changsun Han didn't wait for her reply and provocatively challenged Ye Kunlun, "Do you dare?"
"I generally don't bother with idiots."
Ye Kunlun glanced at Changsun Han. "However, since you feel your face isn't hurting enough and you're looking for trouble, I'll grant your wish!"
Seeing Ye Kunlun take the bait, Changsun Han rejoiced inwardly, thinking, "Let you have your moment of glory today. Tomorrow, I will make you disappear without a trace!"
Tang Zhuozhuo was surprised Ye Kunlun agreed so readily. Seeing his calm demeanor, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite having only met Ye Kunlun twice, her impression of him was not of someone so arrogant that they acted without certainty!
On the contrary, Ye Kunlun was arrogant, confident, and strategic!
"Thank you for your three gifts, I like them very much!"
Tang Zhuozhuo spoke to Ye Kunlun, thanking him and interrupting Changsun Han's thoughts.
"We've delayed long enough, and it's time for the banquet. Let's go inside first."
Changsun Han let out a cold snort and turned back towards the 'Myriad Horses Galloping' banquet hall.
It was Tang Zhuozhuo and Ye Kunlun who walked at the very end.
"How was the act we put on?" Ye Kunlun's indifferent voice sounded in Tang Zhuozhuo's ear.
"An act?" Tang Zhuozhuo turned to look at Ye Kunlun, not understanding.
"You knew that this idiot from the Changsun family would come, and you knew the consequences of my arrival." Ye Kunlun's eyes met Tang Zhuozhuo's.
Hearing this, Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes curved into crescents, with a hint of slyness. "What? Can't I even test my future husband?"
"You can, but—Tang Zhuozhuo, you're playing with fire."
A hint of ferocity flashed in Ye Kunlun's eyes.
