The problems that arise in such an environment are numerous, but many fall within an acceptable range.
Within this scope, all we can do is handle things well; beyond that, we are powerless.
Ye Tiancheng appeared very nervous when faced with such a situation.
This was because Su Mingxian wanted him to go shopping with her.
Ye Tiancheng seemed very tense and helpless about such a serious matter as shopping. He understood very clearly that in this environment, his capabilities were very limited and would greatly test his abilities.
If his abilities were insufficient and he couldn't meet her expectations, she would look down on him.
She strongly disliked being looked down upon or ridiculed.
This was because being ridiculed felt very unpleasant.
It now seemed that his thoughts were not unfounded but possessed considerable independent awareness.
"Let's go browse the antique street, and we'll discuss other things later."
"Really?" He looked very embarrassed.
This was because he truly disliked shopping.
He was exceptionally averse to shopping.
Since he disliked it, he detested such things happening.
It made him feel like a fool.
If things continued like this, what would happen?
This required immense effort.
Ye Tiancheng cared deeply about this point.
Therefore, he had been trying his best to express this from the beginning.
The reason he tried so hard to express this was that he disliked being seen as a fool.
He had been a fool for many years.
This time, he absolutely could not be a fool again.
To continue being one would be truly tragic.
"What will happen?" he asked, very concerned.
"Alright, let's go buy things." She disliked being asked this question because it was clearly a very sensitive topic.
She genuinely disliked being asked such questions.
Hence, she gave that answer.
They headed towards the market street.
The street was entirely filled with stall owners selling antiques.
This was a shantytown area.
The residents of the main city lived in the Zero Zero Towers.
The residents of these shantytowns lived in very rudimentary places.
Seeing these people stirred many emotions within him.
"These people are so pitiful!"
"Actually, we are the pitiful ones!"
"What do you mean by that?" Su Muxian asked, not understanding.
"Actually, what we feel is not what we perceive. This is because we have always centered ourselves and never taken others' thoughts seriously."
There was no fault in that statement.
From this simple matter, it could be seen that some people wanted to stir up trouble.
And then, profit from it.
This was exactly what Ye Tiancheng thought of these high-society people.
They wanted to stir up trouble.
And then profit from it.
Ordinary people could not comprehend this kind of relationship. It was precisely because they seemed unable to comprehend it that a tragic situation formed in their hearts.
And they were unable to extricate themselves from it.
Seeing these stall owners, Su Muxian felt they were pitiful, but Ye Tiancheng did not.
Instead, he felt they deserved it.
"You have no sympathy at all!"
"Heh, that's just how I am, what are you going to do about it?" Seeing her angry made him happy.
Seeing her like this, he genuinely felt the urge to rush over and hit her.
But then he thought, isn't life just like this? Why overthink it?
Overthinking would only create a somber shadow.
This shadow would form something powerful in his heart.
This thing would persist.
"So... you're holding a grudge?"
"Yes, how could I not?" Su Mingxian said.
"Oh. I think I understand."
"It's great that you understand." Her expression was very cute, like an obstacle that had formed in her heart a long time ago.
This would continue to form that structure in his heart, forever.
"That's really nice, look at them, they're inseparable!"
Some passersby, seeing how well-matched the two of them looked, were full of envy.
These people were citizens of the city-state.
They were all looking at Ye Tiancheng.
In their eyes, people like Ye Tiancheng were all very good.
Perhaps it was due to a lack of understanding that everything looked the best.
Once understood, nothing would seem good.
Thus, they were called classics.
"What were you saying earlier?"
"Let's go shopping. Being stared at like this is really not pleasant," Su Mingxian said awkwardly.
Ye Tiancheng smiled, "Oh..."
And then they went to browse the stalls.
Women have a natural inclination for shopping. Regardless of the perspective, the world is irrelevant to them; as long as they want to obtain something, it will form a beautiful existence in their hearts.
The stall owners made him feel dejected.
Because they were selling things like grass and bark, which he considered a tragedy.
Su Muxian smiled upon seeing his expression, "Alright, don't be like that."
"Oh."
"But those you are meant to meet, you will eventually meet."
A girl in red was sizing them up from the side.
"They're fat sheep, we can't let them get away."
The girl in red muttered.
Therefore, her eyes were filled with a desire to obtain.
That kind of gaze evoked a sense of fragility.
This meant that certain things would lead to immense sorrow.
This sorrow could plunge people into extremes.
Some problems would resurface, due to demand.
This girl in red was named Yan Qiuhe.
And in the distance was that witch, Hou Mingzhu.
She felt Ye Tiancheng was familiar.
Hou Mingzhu was no longer called Hou Mingzhu in this world; she was now called Jiang Yin Xue.
At this moment.
It was as if a beautiful bloom had appeared in his world.
What is meant to be will be, and what is not meant to be will never be.
Therefore, in his thoughts, more things would appear in such a world.
Speaking of which, Ye Tiancheng stopped at a stall.
He was attracted by some items.
At this moment, they all looked towards Ye Tiancheng.
Including Jiang Yin Xue.
Jiang Yin Xue certainly knew that a problem was occurring with him.
What must be done must be done. Regardless of what happens in the future...
Therefore, a point of pressure formed in her mind.
Future events would surely happen to her. By holding her breath, she would become infinitely strong. Only by becoming strong could she become like a person...
"How much for this!" Suddenly, Su Muxian saw a broken sword on the stall.
The aura of this sword was very unique.
The moment he picked it up, Ye Tiancheng also felt it. He just didn't want to admit it.
This sword was tattered.
Lifeless.
There were no iron swords in this world; they used bronze swords.
Therefore, this sword was rusty and no one considered it sharp.
In the eyes of most people, iron swords were trash.
However, a small number of people forged iron swords into steel. This sword was a steel sword.
Steel swords existed in a different form in people's eyes.
And this feeling would bring great joy.
Regardless of that joy, in the end, it would surely bring great happiness.
This was the so-called variable.
"How much for this sword!"
Therefore, she really wanted to ask the selling price.
"Five rat skins!" The stall owner held up five fingers.
Ye Tiancheng laughed, "This junk is this expensive?"
Five rat skins in this world could buy a decent tile-roofed house.
Therefore, this price was quite exorbitant.
Ye Tiancheng thus did not want to buy it.
Su Muxian did not feel it was expensive at all. In this world, bronze swords could not compare to steel swords.
Moreover, the aura of this sword was very unique.
So Su Muxian decided to buy this sword.
Without further hesitation, she took out money and bought the sword.
After buying the sword, they fell silent.
Immediately, Jiang Yin Xue and Yan Qiuhe on the other side were watching them with predatory intent.
Because this sword emitted a very strange power in Ye Tiancheng's hand.
This attracted them all.
A desire to obtain this sword appeared on everyone's face.
They were not acting without reason.
They really wanted to get their hands on this sword.
Especially the girl in red, her face was full of envy. This envious look was truly mouth-watering.
In the city-state of Duogongna, having courage was a powerful means.
Making a living was the domain of the strong.
The weak were destined to be eliminated in this place.
Therefore, only Su Mingxian understood very well. She worried that if things continued to develop like this, it would eventually ruin Ye Tiancheng.
A person finally managed to normalize from this place, but in the end, they couldn't fully recover.
This would cause deep unease.
This uneasy heart, at some point, began to change.
It also signaled the beginning of extreme changes.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, such things would eventually disappear, turning into dust.
But what was ultimately thought would, in the final days, turn into something regrettable.
Let it be, she could only disappear in the end...
"Who is emitting that inexplicable feeling?" Ye Tiancheng surprisingly discovered a similar "salty fish" mentality to his own.
He cared about this aura.
He looked over there and suddenly discovered that the person was standing there, and one of them was the witch he met in Luoye Village.
"Hi! Hello, witch."
Jiang Yin Xue looked at Ye Tiancheng without surprise. She hadn't expected Ye Tiancheng to know Yan Qiuhe.
"Why are you guys here too?" Witch Jiang Yin Xue looked embarrassed.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't leave Luoye Village?"
Ye Tiancheng was very curious.
"Because the village was destroyed right after you left."
"Uh!" Ye Tiancheng was surprised to hear this.
At the same time, he also wanted to know what exactly had happened.
But no one could tell him what had happened.
He could only meditate in this tragedy.
So what would be the outcome?
No one knew, it could only be like this.
Time flowed by, and Ye Tiancheng was surprised amidst his curiosity.
Many feelings, when strange, became even more in need of serious attention.
No matter what happened, his own feelings would eventually fade, so he needed to meet new people and start a new chapter.
"This is Yan Qiuhe, I hope you get to know her."
"Oh!" Ye Tiancheng's expression lit up upon seeing Yan Qiuhe.
No matter what, his thoughts needed to be taken seriously.
So that when he encountered problems he couldn't express, he would have someone to confide in.
Speaking of which, Ye Tiancheng knew they wanted to take in a younger sibling.
So he asked, "Are you two my older sisters?"
"Want to get acquainted so quickly?"
"Yes. Some people, upon seeing them, feel as if they've cultivated for lifetimes, and they really want to be related to them."
"Are you a transmigrator too?" Yan Qiuhe asked.
"Yes."
"Besides her, we have two other sisters. How old are you?"
"Twenty-one."
"Wow, you really are a younger brother!" Yan Qiuhe said.
"Really?" Ye Tiancheng was surprised.
