"Troublemaking is not a hobby, but the pursuit of a hobby."
Tian Yi corrected.
Tian Xiaoxiao: “←_←”
Tian Liu thought about it seriously, and then she said, "It's not impossible to deal with them, but that will have to wait until you, Xiao Yi, become stronger."
Even saints need time to grow.
Tian Yi asked, "Are there any experts in the villa area?"
Tian Liu nodded. "A lot. Most of the people living there are nobles. Although they don't have the same power in the Holy City as they do in the territories, the resources they control and the wealth they have accumulated over the years are far beyond the reach of a first-generation rich like me."
Is this the tone of someone who has competed before and suffered a loss?
Tian Yi suppressed his smile and asked, "Have they ever caused trouble for you, Mom?"
Tian Liu sighed and said truthfully, "When I lived there before, there were a few old guys who pestered me every day, and they wouldn't listen no matter how soft or hard they tried.
In the end, I had no choice but to hide."
Tian Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "When I have enough strength, I will help you get back."
Chapter 16 Tyrant Talisman
The Tian family's residence in Shengdu is large, but not luxurious. The decoration inside the house is all in Chinese antique style.
It's very similar to home on Earth.
Tian Yi could guess that his mother must be missing home.
"Wash your hands and eat first. Your rooms are on the second floor and are equipped with bathrooms. Wash up and rest after dinner."
Tian Liu waved his hand and took his son and daughter to the bathroom to wash their hands and face before coming to the dining room.
What appeared in front of Tian Yi and Tian Xiaoxiao was a round wooden dining table full of food.
Boiled shrimp, fried crab with typhoon shelter, soy sauce chicken, braised beef brisket with radish, fried choy sum, steamed grouper, and a pot of white radish and chicken soup.
Six dishes and one soup,
All of them are Tian Yi's favorites.
What Tian Yi likes to eat is also what Tian Xiaoxiao likes to eat.
Seeing this table full of food, Tian Yi felt like he was back home.
"It should taste better than the ones on Earth."
After Tian Liu sat down, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Tian Yi extended his chopsticks towards the grouper, while Tian Xiaoxiao picked up the chicken leg.
At the first meal after a long separation, the mother and her two children had no estrangement at all, and the atmosphere was as relaxed and comfortable as when they were still in Mencheng.
"Is this grouper wild?"
"Where is the wild fish from the sea here? It's all farmed."
"That's a good deal. This is all wild-grade in texture and flavor."
"Hehe, this is also the price of wild level."
"So cheating?"
"It's made specifically to take advantage of those of us who miss the taste of home. The main point is that ingredients have a price, but feelings are priceless."
Tian Liu sighed and said to Tian Yi, "We're going to eat the food here. You guys need to get used to it."
It’s not that she has no money, nor that food is scarce on Earth, but she simply doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.
Tian Yi understood her thoughts and nodded decisively, "We had a meal here on the way and it was pretty good."
Tian Liu looked at Tian Xiaoxiao, who had already finished eating a chicken leg and was now picking up fish.
There is no need to ask this silly child. Anyway, she will definitely eat whatever her brother eats.
"Actually, the taste of ordinary meat and vegetables here is similar to that on Earth, but people here like to add dairy products when cooking."
Tian Liu said, "Even soup is made into a thick soup."
Tian Yi smiled and said, "People here aren't affected by our eating habits?"
“It has been affected, but only in civilian areas.”
Tian Liu said, "In the aristocratic district, they will eat, but they will only eat in private. They will not open Earth-style restaurants in public."
She looked at Tian Yi and said, "Twin Sacred College is also considered an aristocratic area, so you have to get used to this kind of taste."
"……Fine."
Tian Yi finally understood why his mother had brought this up. He smiled and said, "If I really can't get used to it, I'll just cook for myself."
Tian Liu stood there in a daze.
Tian Xiaoxiao explained: "Xiaoyi has learned to cook, and her cooking skills are better than yours, mom."
Tian Liu was dissatisfied and said to Tian Yi, "You will make breakfast tomorrow."
Tian Yi nodded: "Okay."
Tian Liu: "I want to eat Emerald Shaomai, Crab Soup Dumplings, and Chicken Tofu Pudding."
Tian Xiaoxiao: "I want to eat braised pork ribs with taro, chicken feet with black bean sauce, and crystal shrimp dumplings."
Tian Yi said expressionlessly: "Go to bed early tonight, you can eat it in your dreams."
……
……
The next day's breakfast was millet porridge, steamed buns, and dumplings.
Tian Liu's evaluation was average, and his skills were indeed better than hers, but that was due to his proficiency.
What she felt most was not frustration, but curiosity.
On the way to the test site,
Tian Liu teased, "I really want to meet the person who can make you, Xiao Yi, cook so skillfully."
There is no mother-in-law who doesn't want to see her daughter-in-law.
Tian Yi smiled and said, "I want to see him too, but I don't know how to find him right now."
Tian Liu asked, "Are there any characteristics you can recall?"
"No."
Tian Yi said, "It feels like everything about that person has been erased from my memory. I can only confirm the existence of this person through some traces, emotions, and habits that cannot be erased."
Emotions and habits?
Tian Liu asked with some anticipation: "If you meet her, will you be able to sense something?"
Tian Yi shook his head: "I don't know."
Tian Liu continued to ask: "I heard you have a daughter? Is she cute?"
Tian Yi recalled, his brows slightly furrowed: "In my impression, she was very cute and had a very good relationship with me.
But I don’t know why, after the dream ended and I entered the dojo, I didn’t think about her much. Even now, I don’t miss her much.”
It seems that this mental problem has only improved but has never been cured.
Tian Liu casually slapped Tian Yi on the head and said, "When you go to school, you must enjoy your campus life."
Hearing this, Tian Yi's mouth curled up slightly: "I go to school just to enjoy life."
Tian Liu: “…”
Mental illness is scary enough, and now this is a mentally ill saint.
I hope those geniuses picked from thousands of people can be more discerning.
……
……
The test site is located outside the city, close to the border of the light curtain.
When Tian Yi and his two companions arrived at their destination, they saw 10 long lines of people and 10 light gates in front of them.
"You guys go line up, I'll wait for you in the car."
Tian Liu waved casually to Tian Yi and Tian Xiaoxiao, then lay down and started to relax.
Tian Yi smiled and said, "Then let's go."
He closed the car door, then took Xiaoxiao to one of the queues and started queuing.
He and Tian Xiaoxiao both knew the content of the test. After all, it was public and Avila had introduced it on the train.
This test is actually the first round of screening for the entrance exam. The reference content is to identify the candidate's energy core type and attribute affinity.
And assess the candidates' intelligence and psychological qualities.
The requirements for the intelligence test are not high. Generally speaking, as long as the intelligence is normal, even a five or six-year-old child can pass it.
The really difficult part is the assessment of psychological qualities.
According to Avila, at least 7% of the candidates fail here every year.
"Xiao Yi, what is your energy core?"
Tian Xiaoxiao tactfully asked Tian Yi how to cheat.
Tian Yi said, "I'm curious too."
He was not panicked because this was the holy land of the Twin Gods saints, and the top leaders of the Twin Gods knew his identity.
But now, no one reminded him how to cover it up.
This means that all the tests he has to go through have already been taken care of.
At this moment, a sneering voice came from the front: "You come to take the test without even knowing the energy core. Our time is being wasted by people like you."
The person who spoke was a brown-haired boy standing in front of Tian Xiaoxiao.
He was wearing an expensive top and high-quality shorts, and was looking at the Tian Yi siblings with disdain: "If you know what's good for you, get out of here. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Tian Xiaoxiao remained silent, but a hint of pity appeared in her eyes as she looked at the boy.
The line is very long.
This means that those people in the queue will be bored for a long time.
This also means that someone will never miss a piece of fun that comes to them.
Just as she expected—
Tian Yi's eyes lit up with excitement. He reached over Tian Xiaoxiao in front of him and gently patted the boy's shoulder: "My noble lord, the clothes you are wearing are very high-end. Where did you buy them?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, raised his hand and slapped Tian Yi's hand away: "Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude."
Tian Yi looked at him with a smile and didn't react.
The boy frowned and asked, "What's your last name?"
Tian Yi smiled and said, "My last name is Qian."
The boy looked up at the sky, his expression cold and indifferent: "The weather is getting cold, let the Qian family go bankrupt."
Tian Xiaoxiao: “?”
The smile on Tian Yi's face grew even wider.
Not only them, but even a little blonde girl standing in front of the boy turned around and looked at him strangely.
Noticing the little girl's gaze, the boy smiled evilly: "Very good, woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."
The blonde girl frowned and said, "Young Master of the Andre family, did you hurt your brain?"
The boy's face darkened. "Woman, you are the first person who dares to speak to me like that."
The blonde girl's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously took two steps back.
