But then again, who told him to cling to the thigh of Douluo Continent's number-one rich beauty?
Thus, Lin Tianyi, a poor wretch without even a single Gold Soul Coin on him, strode into this luxury shop with perfect confidence and not the slightest worry.
Originally, Lin Tianyi had wanted to pick from the exquisite outfits hanging on the shelves. As he looked over the dazzling array of clothes and struggled to decide which one to choose—
Qian Renxue's calm voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
"Have your finest tailor make custom clothes for my younger brother."
The shop owner hastily agreed and immediately sent someone to notify their best tailor to hurry over.
Lin Tianyi blinked. Fine, he had forgotten that nobles never bought clothes; they always had them custom-made.
The finest tailor arrived and carefully measured Lin Tianyi's height, shoulder width, waistline, and other physical details. He said it would take at least a day to rush out three sets of clothes.
Qian Renxue nodded, then bought Lin Tianyi an outfit to wear first.
As she watched Lin Tianyi emerge in his new clothes, a smile appeared on Qian Renxue's exquisitely beautiful face.
But when she saw that Lin Tianyi still wanted to pack up his old, tattered clothes and take them home, saying it was so his parents would not feel bad, a trace of anger and heartache flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes.
With her influence, she had naturally investigated Lin Tianyi's background long ago in order to better help his family.
But without investigating, she would never have known. To her surprise, Lin Tianyi's parents were not ordinary farmers at all.
They were Duke Lin Hongtu and his wife, the most powerful and influential duke in the Heaven Dou Empire!
Such top-tier nobles, second only to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, would never lack money.
Yet merely because they supposedly did not want Lin Tianyi to become a spoiled playboy, they had disguised themselves as impoverished farmers and raised Lin Tianyi in poverty!
The moment she learned this, endless fury welled up in Qian Renxue's chest. Even when Bibi Dong had cursed her with the most vicious words, she had never been this angry!
Fine, fine, fine! Since you refused to reveal your identities and chose to raise Tianyi in poverty—
Then I'll spoil Tianyi twice as much and make up for every hardship he has suffered over these years!
So what if he becomes a playboy? As long as Tianyi is happy, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, I, his sister, will cover for him!!
If she had not known that Lin Hongtu and Qin Shuhui had also suffered alongside Lin Tianyi these past years, she probably would have sent people to teach them a lesson for Lin Tianyi's sake on the very day she learned the truth.
After buying the clothes, Qian Renxue took Lin Tianyi by the hand and headed outside.
As for Lin Xianxian, she was still eating her little cake.
Lin Xianxian did not need to buy clothes, because as long as she wanted to, she could transform the clothes she wore into all kinds of styles.
Next, Qian Renxue took Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian shopping and bought them plenty of delicious food.
The moment Lin Xianxian saw the fragrant food, she instantly felt that the little cake in her hand no longer smelled so good.
Happily following Lin Tianyi, she called Qian Renxue "Sister" one sweetly after another. Her favorability toward Qian Renxue soared.
Seeing Lin Xianxian's face filled with happiness as she ate, having been bought over by food, Lin Tianyi's lips twitched slightly. This wife of his was really easy to win over.
He wondered whether Lin Xianxian would regret it once Qian Renxue truly became her "sister" in the future.
While Lin Tianyi was out shopping, news that he and Lin Xianxian were six years old, had eighteenth-level Soul Power, and possessed thousand-year First Soul Rings rapidly spread as the students of Class 1 Grade 1 returned home after school.
Heaven Dou City, Ning Residence.
This vast, luxuriously decorated yet elegant residence had been personally bestowed upon Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by Xue Ye, the Emperor of Heaven Dou.
At this moment, after listening to Ning Rongrong's account, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin could not help revealing looks of shock and disbelief.
If they had not known Ning Rongrong so well, they would have thought this was another one of her pranks.
Ning Fengzhi attached immense importance to peerless talents like Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian.
If he could recruit them into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then once Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian matured, who else could shake the foundation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Especially after learning that Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian's parents were merely ordinary farmers, even Ning Fengzhi, who had cultivated his composure for decades and possessed a heart as calm as a still lake, could not help showing wild joy on his face.
He immediately decided that tomorrow, he would personally go to the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy to recruit Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian, regardless of the cost!!
At the same time, he immediately sent people to investigate Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian's home address.
If the investigators moved quickly enough, he wanted to secure Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian's allegiance before anyone else did, even today.
Ning Rongrong was not surprised to see Ning Fengzhi's ecstatic expression. As the head of a sect, that was only natural.
Then, Ning Rongrong looked toward Sword Douluo Chen Xin and said in a clear, sweet voice:
"Grandpa Jian, Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian both have sword-type weapon martial souls and eighteen-level Soul Power at six years old. Didn't you say you had always wanted to accept a final disciple and pass down your swordsmanship? The two of them appeared at exactly the right time."
Sword Douluo looked kindly at Ning Rongrong. He raised a warm, powerful hand and rubbed her little head, saying with a chuckle:
"Rongrong, you are thoughtful. But not just anyone is qualified to become Grandpa Jian's final disciple. High cultivation talent alone is not enough; they must also possess exceptional comprehension and unwavering character.
"If Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian meet the standards in comprehension and character, I may choose one of them as my final disciple. But that still requires observation. There is no need to rush."
Ning Rongrong nodded her little head, only half understanding.
As the news spread, the number of forces wishing to recruit Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian was rapidly rising.
Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian knew nothing of this.
After they grew tired from shopping, Qian Renxue had the carriage leave Heaven Dou City and head toward Lin Family Village, dozens of li away.
At that moment, Lin Tu and Qin Hui were anxiously waiting at the entrance of Lin Family Village, pacing back and forth in worry.
Only when they saw a luxurious carriage slowly approach and finally stop at the village entrance did the anxious expressions on Lin Tu and Qin Hui's faces change.
The people who had taken Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian were most likely the ones in a carriage stopping at the entrance of Lin Family Village at this time.
They hurried over and, sure enough, saw Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian stepping down from the carriage. They immediately ran toward them.
Qin Hui spread her arms and embraced Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian like a mother eagle shielding her young, while Lin Tu stared sternly at the carriage, wanting to see who was inside.
But unfortunately, he only heard a gentle, clear, magnetic voice.
"Tianyi, see you tomorrow."
Apparently unwilling to show herself, Qian Renxue softly spoke to Lin Tianyi from within the carriage, then directly ordered the coachman to leave.
Lin Tu frowned and wanted to lift the golden curtain to see exactly who was inside.
But before he could act, two incomparably terrifying auras suddenly descended upon him.
Lin Tu's entire body instantly stiffened. He did not dare make another reckless move and could only watch helplessly as the carriage gradually moved away and finally vanished from sight.
The two terrifying auras disappeared along with the carriage.
Lin Tu let out a sharp breath, lingering fear filling his heart as he stared in the direction where the luxurious carriage had vanished. Amid the surging waves in his heart, he thought in shock, To command two Title Douluo... just who is the master inside that carriage? And why is she so gentle toward Tianyi?
He truly could not understand, so he turned and fixed a questioning gaze on Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian...
