Qinchuan thought that his meeting with Ao Feng would be a reunion between friends after a long separation, and that everyone should be happy about it. However, he never thought that he would encounter such a farce.
After leaving the hotel, Qinchuan could still see Ao Feng's pleading face from time to time. He clearly remembered how fast Ao Feng's expression changed when he said that he was willing to pay the membership fee for Ao Feng. It only took a split second for Ao Feng to turn from a pitiful pleading face to an excited one.
After Qin Chuan took out the 30,000 Star Stones, Ao Feng didn't try to keep him any longer. It was as if Qin Chuan's only purpose was to pay the 30,000 Star Stones. As for the rest, Ao Feng didn't seem to care. Even if it was the friendship they had formed after going through a crisis together. This made Qin Chuan feel a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.
After sighing with emotion, Qin Chuan quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind. He was not the kind of person who liked to torture himself. Since they could no longer be friends, then he would just be an unimportant stranger. The thirty thousand star stones would be his last bit of care for Ao Feng.
After returning to the Observatory Hotel, Qinchuan meditated on the World of Woods for a whole night. The next morning, he showed up in the lobby of the hotel at seven o'clock sharp, quietly and patiently waiting for Tu Shanyue's arrival. Fortunately, Tu Shanyue didn't keep him waiting for too long. Twenty minutes later, Tu Shanyue appeared in the lobby of the hotel and stood in front of him.
Looking at the energetic Qinchuan, Tu Shanyue chuckled and said to Qinchuan, "Let's go back to the family."
Qinchuan looked at the nearly twenty people behind Tu Shanyue and said with a smile, "Uncle Yue, so you went to recruit these people yesterday."
Tu Shanyue nodded with a smile and responded, "After every talisman formation master conference, we have to select the best talisman formation masters who meet our requirements from over a hundred winners and invite them to join the family. These people will be your colleagues in the future, so you can control your attitude."
Finishing his speech, Tushan Yue and the others boarded a spaceship parked outside, heading straight to a steel satellite in the west of Terang City. That was the headquarters of the Tushan Family.
As one of the most powerful forces in Trang City, Tushan Family occupied an entire steel satellite. Since this satellite was labeled as Tushan Family, it had become a private territory of Tushan Family. Except for Tushan Family members and guests, no one else was allowed to approach this satellite. Once anyone with ill intentions was found, the guards of Tushan Family would directly kill him or her as an intruder. This was a rule that everyone living in Trang City knew.
By now, Qinchuan had learned about this rule. Therefore, before he was fully accepted by the Tushan Family, he would have to take the Tushan Family's spaceship to travel to and from this satellite.
When the spaceship slowly landed in the starport on the steel satellite, Tushan Yue smilingly said to Qinchuan, "Welcome to Tushan Manor."
Hearing this, Qin Chuan chuckled and said to Tushan Yue, "No wonder you're from Tushan Family. You're able to occupy such a large metal satellite in Terang City as your manor."
"This is how the universe works. Powerful people can have everything they want. If one day, a powerful being who can make Tushan Family helpless suddenly appeared and asked us to move out of our manor, we would have no choice but to retreat." Tushan Yue chuckled, "But I hope that day will never come."
While talking, Qinchuan followed behind Tushan Yue and got off the spaceship. After a simple inspection in the starport, they boarded the spaceship and headed to the personnel center of the manor.
On the spaceship, Tushan Yue explained to Qinchuan, "Everyone who joins the family for the first time needs to go to the personnel center to register. Only people with IDs are allowed to move freely in some special areas of the manor."
"Special areas?" asked Qinchuan curiously, "Are there any forbidden areas in the manor?"
Tushan Yue nodded and answered, "There are three forbidden areas in the manor. The first one is where the elders of the family cultivate themselves. It's called Jing Si Palace. No one is allowed to break in. If anyone is caught entering Jing Si Palace without permission, he or she will be expelled from the family, or killed on the spot!
The second one is the medicine making center. No one is allowed to break in except for those who have a pass. The punishment is the same as the first one.
The third one is the Treasure Room. The treasures collected by the family from all over the world are kept in there. Hmm, I don't need to repeat myself. You should know the consequences of breaking in. "
Hearing Tushan Yue's words, Qin Chuan slightly nodded, smiled and said, "I will keep that in mind. Jing Si Palace, Medicine Concoction Center and Treasure Pavilion are places that I can never go to. For my own life, I will try my best to avoid these three places."
While they were talking, the spaceship had already arrived at the personnel center. The others were led by the staff to register, while Qinchuan was led by Tushan Yue.
"Qinchuan."
"Humanoid."
"Seventy-two years old."
Qinchuan gave some simple information about himself to the staff. Because Tushan Yue was with him, Qinchuan didn't have to go through some tests that the others had to go through. This made Qinchuan feel quite lucky. If he had to do some blood test or bone touching test, his identity would have been exposed immediately.
Soon, Qinchuan received his ID card, which was a thumb-sized chip. As long as he put the chip in his optical computer, he would be able to enter and leave the manor freely. It was worth mentioning that the model of Qinchuan's optical computer was a bit old. The staff couldn't stand it anymore, so they provided a brand-new optical computer for Qinchuan. The optical computer was only the size of a ring. It could be used as an optical computer, and could even be used as a storage space.
"Thank you."
Qinchuan took off the slightly heavy optical computer on his wrist, smiled and said, "In fact, I've been wanting to change that antique for a long time."
"Alright, your ID card is done. We can go and meet the other elders of the family now."
Tushan Yue said to Qinchuan, "After you meet those elders, you have to remember one thing. Except for the specific questions about the great law of thunder, you can answer whatever they want. You can even fool them."
Hearing Tushan Yue's words, Qinchuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He understood what Tushan Yue meant. What the Tushan Family cared about was whether or not he could help someone pass the divine retribution. As for the other things, the Tushan Family didn't care at all. Even if he was exposed for lying about other things, it wouldn't matter.
At least, so far, Qinchuan had a pretty good impression of the Tushan Family. As long as nothing went wrong in the next step, his "friendship" with the Tushan Family should last for a long time.
