Ye reached out and took the two [Awakening Beans] from Yan Dinghan's hand, his fingertips tracing the smooth, white beans. His brow furrowed slightly, and his tone held a hint of confusion: "These two, are they also examinees sent by the Federation?"

Yan Dinghan nodded heavily, his face filled with shame and remorse. He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice:

"I never expected that they were from the cult of evil gods. They followed me for a whole year, and I didn't notice a single flaw. I was so stupid."

Gu Ye stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, just learn from this lesson."

"Mm!" Yan Dinghan raised his head, the shame in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a more determined look. "Thank you, brother-in-law. I will definitely be more careful in the future!"

"Let's go back."

Gu Ye put away the Awakening Beans in his hand and took the lead in walking towards the small house. Luo Yuerao and Yan Dinghan followed closely behind. In the alley, the three figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

The group returned to the small house and sat around the octagonal table. Gu Ye took out a [Awakening Bean]. The white bean gleamed with a faint, moist luster under the light and exuded a strange aura.

"These beans are called 'Awakening Beans'!"

"【Awakening Beans】?"

"Brother-in-law, what exactly is the use of these Awakening Beans?" Yan Dinghan couldn't contain his curiosity and asked impatiently, "For Grandma's husband to treat them as a family heirloom, and for Master Liu to praise them so highly, they must have some extraordinary properties!"

"Yes, the [Awakening Bean] is also called the [Awakening Bean]."

Luo Yuerao and Yan Dinghan were stunned for a moment, their eyes filled with confusion. They both looked at Gu Ye, waiting for him to continue explaining.

Meeting their curious gazes, Gu Ye spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity:

"The greatest function of the [Awakening Bean] is to help card masters awaken their own talents."

This information was just told to Gu Ye by Liu Xie, and Gu Ye was stunned and speechless the moment he heard it.

It should be noted that most of the talents of card masters are innate, and it is extremely difficult to awaken talents later in life. However, this Awakening Bean can directly help people awaken their talents, which is simply heaven-defying.

"You mean... taking it will definitely awaken my talent, right?"

Luo Yueyao carefully held the Awakening Bean in her hand, her fingertips applying slight pressure, as if afraid of accidentally crushing this precious treasure. The excitement in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Gu Ye nodded slightly, put the Awakening Bean back into his storage card, and said seriously:

"That's right, as long as you take it, you will be able to awaken your talent 100%."

You all eat first. I will protect you and ensure that your awakening process is undisturbed.

"good!"

The two nodded vigorously at the same time, their faces full of eagerness. They quickly got up from their seats, sat cross-legged on the ground, and carefully put the Awakening Beans into their mouths.

The Awakening Beans melted in their mouths, and a warm and pure energy instantly surged into their bodies, spreading along their meridians to nourish their limbs and bones.

Gu Ye sat cross-legged to the side, his eyes slightly closed, and his spiritual energy slowly spread out, forming an invisible barrier that protected the two of them, while he vigilantly watched the surrounding movements.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Luo Yuerao and Yan Dinghan, whose auras were originally disordered and whose brows were furrowed, gradually calmed down, and a faint aura of their talents surrounded them.

Immediately afterwards, the two opened their eyes at the same time, a bright light flashing in their eyes, the dazzling luster of their awakened talents.

The two stood up excitedly. A strange light flashed in Luo Yuerao's eyes as she looked at Gu Ye with a charming gaze. Her gaze was both gentle and intense, making Gu Ye feel uncomfortable. He subconsciously avoided her gaze.

"Brother-in-law, thank you so much!"

A dark shadow flashed past Luo Yuerao in an instant. Yan Dinghan, his face filled with wild joy, rushed towards Gu Ye, his voice trembling with excitement, "I've awakened my talent! I've really awakened my talent! Brother-in-law, I must marry my sister to you and repay you properly!"

Caught off guard, Gu Ye was tackled to the ground by Yan Dinghan. His back slammed heavily against the ground, causing him to gasp in pain and utter a curse:

"Holy shit!"

He quickly exerted his strength, shoved Yan Dinghan aside, stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and felt a chill run down his spine.

This kid gets so excited, he really loses all sense of proportion.

Seeing that Yan Dinghan still wanted to come closer, Gu Ye quickly reached out to stop him, saying helplessly:

"Don't get agitated, or you'll scare my heart out."

"Hehe~" Yan Dinghan chuckled as he sat down on the stool, looking at Gu Ye with excitement:

"Brother-in-law, besides my sister, is there anything else you want? Feel free to ask. You helped me awaken my talent, and my Yan family will definitely show our appreciation."

Luo Yuerao also stepped forward, her tone solemn: "My Luo family is the same."

Gu Ye shrugged and said with a smile, "I will definitely make a request, but I haven't thought about it yet. I'll wait until later."

The two nodded simultaneously, indicating that they understood.

Gu Ye looked up and saw that it was getting late. "We have a wedding banquet to attend tomorrow, so let's get some rest."

"Brother-in-law, aren't you going to take the [Awakening Bean]?" Yan Dinghan asked, puzzled, as Gu Ye got up and walked into the inner room.

"No rush, wait until we leave the card domain before taking it."

The two looked puzzled but did not ask any further questions.

Seeing this, the two returned to their respective rooms to rest. As for keeping watch, it was no longer necessary. Ever since Gu Ye killed a few Night Corpse Monsters at the door, no other Night Corpse Monsters dared to bother them.

Nothing happened that night, and before we knew it, it was the third day of the wedding banquet.

After Gu Ye, Luo Yuerao, and Yan Dinghan finished getting ready, they headed towards Niu Dadan's courtyard house.

Stepping into the courtyard, one sees it brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons, exuding a festive atmosphere. Guests arrive in droves, sitting in small groups, chatting and laughing.

The three of them found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

Before long, Niu Dadan, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, walked out of the house with a big smile on his face.

He stepped onto the ceremonial platform erected in the courtyard, bowed to the guests below, and spoke in a loud voice that echoed throughout the entire courtyard:

"Today is my daughter Niu Zhenzhen's wedding day. I am deeply grateful to all our relatives and elders for taking time out of their busy schedules to come and offer their congratulations! We have prepared a simple feast today, so please enjoy yourselves and have a wonderful time!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience, and the guests raised their glasses in response, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

After the guests had enjoyed their drinks and conversation for a while, it gradually came to noon.

Although it was Niu Dadan who was marrying off his daughter, the wedding banquet was held at his home, which saved many steps.

Niu Dadan seemed worried about something unexpected happening, so he immediately got to the point and started the wedding ceremony.

Inside the wedding hall, red silk was hung high, and candlelight flickered, filling the room with a festive red hue.

The altar was placed in the center, with offerings of fruit, incense, candles, and the ancestral tablets for Heaven and Earth. The smoke from the incense wafted through the air, mingling with the laughter and chatter of the guests.

Seeing that the time had come, the master of ceremonies cleared his throat and announced loudly:

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

"The newlyweds take their seats and pay homage to Heaven and Earth!"

Inside the wedding hall of the courtyard house, Gu Ye and the other two stood in a corner, looking up at the door.

Inside the wedding hall of the courtyard house, Gu Ye and the other two were still standing in the corner, their eyes fixed on the entrance of the wedding hall.

Accompanied by melodious joyful music, the groom, Mu Qing, walked ahead with a gentle smile, dressed in a bright red wedding suit, his posture upright. Behind him followed the bride, Niu Zhenzhen, who was covered with a bright red veil and dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe.

Gu Ye's gaze fell on Niu Zhenzhen, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He keenly noticed that Niu Zhenzhen's steps were unusually stiff, and her body seemed somewhat uncoordinated, unlike the light and graceful movements of an ordinary bride. Instead, it was as if she was being controlled. He figured that Niu Dadan had probably used some kind of restraint technique on her to prevent her from causing trouble.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth!" As the master of ceremonies finished speaking, Mu Qing turned slightly to stand side by side with Niu Zhenzhen. The two of them slowly bowed down, their posture respectful, paying homage to the nurturing grace of Heaven and Earth, and wishing for a smooth and peaceful future.

"Second bow to our parents!" The couple slowly straightened up, turned around and bowed to their parents who were sitting above the wedding hall, expressing their gratitude for their upbringing.

Niu Dadan sat in the main seat, looking at his daughter with a mixture of relief and reluctance in his eyes. His eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but nod gently.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" the emcee continued loudly. The bride and groom stood facing each other, preparing to bow.

But at that moment, the courtyard gate was suddenly kicked open, and a deafening shout, like a thunderclap, exploded in the courtyard, instantly drowning out all the sounds of joy and laughter:

"I won't agree—!"
