Ye Yu didn't want to go back to school, but Cui Chengkai had already arranged a leave of absence for her, so it wouldn't matter if she went later.

Her most important goal right now is to improve her strength so that she can re-enter the Hidden Gate and take back the yellow cloth strip from Lu Zunrong's hands.

Because the spiritual energy in Kyoto is very weak, she plans to go to the Zhao family in Suzhou first to tell them what happened at the Qianmen sect, so that they can be mentally prepared.

Then they went to Shanna Island, the former location of the Tiger Tail Sect, to cultivate.

The Tiger Tail Sect has been destroyed and is now under the control of the Zhao family, who also use it as a branch. Ye Yu chose to cultivate there, not only because he could enjoy a peaceful environment, but also because he would have better cultivation conditions.

The next morning, Ye Yu called Zhao Shanyuan to tell him that she was about to go to Suzhou.

Zhao Shanyuan was overjoyed to hear the news and was very much looking forward to meeting Ye Yu.

. . . . . .

As Ye Yu walked out of Suzhou Airport, she was about to hail a taxi when she heard someone shout loudly behind her, "Ye Yu, Ye Yu, I'm here!"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and Ye Yu looked toward the source of the sound in confusion.

"Ye Yu, over here!" the other person shouted again.

She turned to look in the direction the sound came from and saw a black sedan parked in front of her. Two heads popped out of the car; they were the Zhao brothers.

"How long have you been waiting here?" Ye Yu asked, raising an eyebrow. She hadn't told Zhao Shanyuan the exact departure time, so the Zhao brothers had probably arrived early to wait.

Zhao Yuci chuckled and said, "After Grandpa received your call, we set off here to wait for him. How about that? Aren't we, as his older brothers, good enough?"

Ye Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Zhao Yuxuan got out of the car and walked to Ye Yu's side. He took the bag from her back, opened the car door, and said gently to her, "Get in the car."

Ye Yu thanked the tall, handsome man in front of her, then bent down and got into the car.

The car started and slowly drove away from the airport.

On the car, Zhao Yuci excitedly asked, "Ye Yu, have you entered the Hidden Gate yet? What's it like inside? Is it incredibly mysterious, with stunning scenery and many powerful experts?..."

He asked a lot of questions in one breath, making Ye Yu a little dizzy: "Qianmen is a place that is isolated from the world. There are many sects in it, and their living habits are very similar to those of the ancients. There are many experts, but most of them are just ordinary people who can practice martial arts."

"So what level am I considered in there?" Zhao Yuci asked curiously.

"You're just below average," Ye Yu said honestly.

Zhao Yuci scratched her head awkwardly, "I should have just not asked. By the way, is there something you need this time?"

"Um... I've run into some trouble at the Hidden Gate, and I need to let you know in advance."

Hearing Ye Yu say that, Zhao Yuxuan, who was driving, frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

"I was injured when I first entered the Hidden Sect, but I was lucky enough to be taken in by a sect full of women and recovered from my injuries." Ye Yu didn't go into details, and the severity of her injuries was also mentioned in passing.

Zhao Yuxuan still frowned: "Is the trouble you mentioned the reason you got injured?"

Ye Yuqing hummed in agreement: "I suppose so. There's a sect in the Hidden Sect called the Valley of Virtuous Medicine. When I first entered the Hidden Sect, I was injured by the Valley Master of the Valley of Virtuous Medicine. When I was leaving the Hidden Sect, he blocked my way at the exit, so I killed him. However, his daughter escaped, and I guess the Hidden Sect already knows that I killed him."

Ye Yu continued, "This is only one reason. The specifics are a bit complicated. Let's wait until we see Uncle before we talk about it."

The three of them talked for a short while before they arrived at the Zhao family's house.

The Zhao family members were all very happy to see Ye Yu, and they surrounded her, asking her all sorts of questions and chatting with her.

Zhao Shanyuan dismissed everyone, leaving only the Zhao brothers, key members of the Zhao family, and trusted confidants in the main hall. He asked, "Xiaoyu, have you entered the hidden gate? What's the situation inside?"

Ye Yu sighed, "It seems everyone is very concerned about the situation inside the Hidden Gate."

So she told the Zhao family everything about changing her name in the Qianmen sect, treating Fu Jinhua's illness, and so on, but she concealed the fact that she had obtained the Sun and Moon Cauldron, the Youth-Preserving Fruit, and other things.

After all, these are my own secrets, and if others find out, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Everyone was shocked when they heard about Ye Yu's experiences inside, and at the same time, they admired Ye Yu's strength.

From the moment she entered the Hidden Gate, she was injured by Xia Zhong of the Valley of Virtuous Medicine and fled in a sorry state. But when she left the Hidden Gate, she killed Xia Zhong. How can one not admire such great progress in such a short time?

It was precisely because Ye Yu told them about the Hidden Sect that the sect's mysterious image in their minds was shattered, and now everyone no longer had that fear of the Hidden Sect that stemmed from complete ignorance.

Zhao Shanyuan nodded proudly, "As expected of a child of the Zhao family, your uncle admires your courage to take risks and do things. Don't be afraid of the Qianmen's retaliation, the Zhao family will always be your support."

Ye Yu felt very comforted as she listened to Zhao Shanyuan's words.

She handed Zhao Shanyuan the martial arts manuals and some other unnecessary items she had found on Wang Tao and Xia Zhong: "These are the things I found on them. I've already made a copy. You can decide what to do with them."

The Zhao family members were very happy. After all, these items came from the Hidden Sect, and moreover, they belonged to a sect leader, so they were naturally extremely rare.

Zhao Shanyuan laughed heartily and took the things from Ye Yu's hands: "Then I won't stand on ceremony. These things are very useful to the Zhao family's children."

After saying that, he waved for everyone to leave, leaving only Ye Yu and Zhao Yuxuan.

Zhao Yuci also wanted to stay, but seeing that her grandfather did not agree, she could only turn around with a depressed look and slowly leave.

Now, only three people remained in the room. Zhao Shanyuan then asked Ye Yu, "Xiao Yu, what are your plans for the future?"

Ye Yu looked at Zhao Shanyuan with a firm gaze and spoke her deepest thoughts: "I want to build a powerful force that can stand up to the Qianmen."

Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, both Zhao Shanyuan and Zhao Yuxuan frowned in unison.

Zhao Shanyuan stroked his beard and sighed helplessly, "Xiaoyu, this idea is too difficult."

"Yes, it is indeed difficult, but we don't need to resist all the sects of the Hidden Sect, we only need to resist a portion of them."

Zhao Shanyuan shook his head with a wry smile: "But those sects are the strongest and highest-ranking sects among the hidden sects!"

"Grandpa, that's not how it works. Ye Yu didn't mean for us to resist the experts in the sect, but rather that we should make them wary of their subordinates. As for the experts inside..." Zhao Yuxuan looked at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu glanced at Zhao Yuxuan approvingly and said, "That's right. The top experts in Qianmen don't make a move easily. We just need to make them wary. As for those experts, even if they were to make a move, they would only come to me. They wouldn't bother with their subordinates."

Zhao Shanyuan frowned slightly, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after a moment of thought, said, "But relying solely on the Zhao family, that would be extremely difficult."

Ye Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and asked in return, "Have you considered collaborating with the other companies?"
