Wang Haotian walked over to Tenku and looked at him with a cloudy face. He was angry because he thought his disciple had played with the heart of Wang Ruyue. Wang Haotian couldn't accept it because he didn't want his granddaughter to be sad.
"What are you saying, Master? Don't your words make me look like a scoundrel who likes to play with girls' hearts?" Tenku complained in response.
"Isn't that the truth? You were dissatisfied with the three beauties accompanying you and added another. If you're not an asshole, then what are you called? Shouldn't you know how Yue'er feels about you? Even though you are my only disciple, I will never forgive you if you hurt her." Wang Haotian said seriously. He would be furious if Tenku toyed with Wang Ruyue's heart.
"I know Yue'er's feelings for me, and I would never hurt her. What happened is not like what you see. If you want to know why I brought that girl, you can ask Yue'er directly. But one thing for sure is what you think is wrong. I've never played with any girl's heart." Tenku replied helplessly.
"Are your words true, brat?" Wang Haotian narrowed his eyes at Tenku and determined whether he was lying or telling the truth from the expression on his face.
"That's true. I would never lie to you on this matter." Tenku said firmly.
Wang Haotian saw Tenku and believed his disciple was speaking the truth. After hearing that, he was silent for a while and then opened his mouth.
"Then what happened? Why did you come back early, and who is that girl? Why did you bring her back to your apartment?" Wang Haotian asked.
"Shouldn't you ask Yue'er about that? So you can confirm if what I say is true or not." Tenku replied.

She rarely shows her smile to me now. If she does, it's when she talks about you." Wang Haotian glared at Tenku and said in annoyance.
"It's not my fault. I never asked her to defend me in front of you. Besides, why did you have to badmouth me in front of her? Of course, she'd be angry." Tenku shrugged his shoulders like he didn't care about that.
"Alright. It was my fault. In that case, you'd better go inside because Yue'er and the others should be waiting for you. I don't want my granddaughter to discover I've kept you here to interrogate you. I'll come to your apartment when they get home, and I want you to tell me everything that happened on your vacation." Wang Haotian said and quickly left the place without waiting for a reply from Tenku.
"I understand." Tenku answered curtly. Afterward, he entered his apartment and saw the girls sitting and chatting in the living room. Tenku also found tea and snacks on the table. He was sure that he never bought that food. The girls enjoy their time and consider his apartment their home. When Tenku approached them, Kirika noticed it and quickly walked towards him.
"Tenku! I want to cancel my stay at Fuyushima Temple. I will sleep in your apartment tonight!" Kirika said and smiled coquettishly.
When she entered Tenku's apartment, she saw it was simple and plain, without much decoration. Kirika felt she would feel at home and comfortable living in his apartment. What's more, she could be alone in that place with Tenku. Therefore, Kirika asked him to let her stay in his apartment for one night.
"No! You can't live in this apartment!" Setsuka and the other two stood up and said in unison. After that, the girls fought, and his apartment became noisier and livelier. Tenku could only sigh and massage his forehead when he saw the scene.
Kirika and the other three girls fought for quite a while. After calmed down, they decided to return to their homes because it was almost noon.
Initially, Wang Ruyue wanted to stay in Tenku's apartment longer because she could return to her grandfather's place anytime since it was still in the same building. But Setsuka and the others forbade her strictly and asked her to leave the place.
Wang Ruyue could only surrender when the other three girls led her out of the apartment. She didn't resist when Setsuka, Kaede, and Kirika dragged her away because they didn't want her to be alone in that place with Tenku.
Tenku felt that there was something strange about their behavior. Usually, Wang Ruyue would quarrel with them over such matters and insist on staying in his apartment. But this time, she quickly followed Setsuka and the others without much resistance.
He suspected the girls had some secret he didn't know about. But then Tenku shook his head and didn't want to think about it too much. It's not good if he is too curious about the girls' secrets.
Tenku accompanied Setsuka and the others to the front of his apartment building. The girls are reluctant to be separated from him but must return home to spend the winter holidays with their families.
On the other hand, Wang Ruyue showed a triumphant smile toward Setsuka and the others. She could meet Tenku anytime since she lives in the same building. Kirika and the other two became irritated when they saw her face. After they left, Tenku accompanied Wang Ruyue to where her grandfather was.
"Finally, I can rest." Tenku leaned his body on the couch and sighed. He couldn't rest when the girls were around because they were constantly bickering over trivial matters.
Even so, he enjoyed spending time with them. Tenku would like to go on another vacation with them if he can. Of course, the people he was referring to were Setsuka and Wang Ruyue. He couldn't go on vacations with Kirika or Kaede because he only saw them as friends and nothing more.
Initially, Tenku wanted to focus on getting stronger and went to another world to find his sister. But now he has another goal. Tenku wants to protect the people he loves. They were Wang Ruyue and Setsuka. He didn't want to lose them, just like what had happened to his family. Tenku closed his eyes and wanted to sleep, but knocking on the door woke him.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Couldn't that old man let me rest a bit?" Tenku sighed and complained. He didn't need his spiritual sense to check who it was. Tenku knew that the person who had come was his Master because he said he wanted to ask for an explanation from him after the girls came home. Tenku got up from the couch and walked over to meet Wang Haotian. When he opened the door, the old man opened his mouth first before he could speak.
"I came here to hear your explanation, brat. Tell me everything that happened when you two went on vacation. I hope you don't do anything strange to Yue'er." Wang Haotian said and entered his apartment.
Tenku was silent because he was used to the old man's attitude. But then he broke out in a cold sweat after remembering what he had done to Wang Ruyue at Kirika's house. Wang Haotian would be furious if he found out about it. Tenku took a deep breath, trying to keep his composure before the old man.
"I won't do anything to her. Besides, can't you give me a little time to rest? You can come to my apartment again to hear my explanation tonight." Tenku quickly shifted the topic of their conversation and followed Wang Haotian from behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No. I want to hear about it now." Wang Haotian said decisively and sat down on the sofa.
"Alright, I can't say anything else if you insist." Tenku sighed and replied helplessly. He wanted to sit down, but Wang Haotian's words stopped him.
"Wait a minute. You'd better make me a cup of tea before we begin our conversation. I thought that this would go on for quite a while. You can't let me get thirsty while listening to your story, right?" Wang Haotian leaned his back in his seat and casually said.
Blue veins popped out on Tenku's forehead when he heard that. He wanted to complain but swallowed his words again and reluctantly complied with the old man's request. Tenku didn't want to waste time arguing with Wang Haotian because he would lose. After all, that old man was his martial Master.
"I understand." Tenku said briefly and immediately went to the kitchen to make tea for Wang Haotian.
Not long after, he returned with two cups of tea, one for Wang Haotian and one for him. Tenku placed it on the table and sat on the sofa opposite the old man.
"Then, you can tell me what happened when you were on vacation with Yue'er." Wang Haotian spoke and sipped his tea.
"Okay. Me, Yue'er, and the other two girls chose Hokkaido as our first destination…" Tenku started telling Wang Haotian about their winter break.
He explained about the places they visited and his encounter with Kirika. Tenku told Wang Haotian about the girl's identity, but he just responded with a straight face like he didn't care. It was only natural, considering the old man didn't know him.
After that, Tenku told him their next destination would be Kyoto, and Kirika invited them to stay at her house. He also talked about his troubles with the son of the Kinzoku family and the terrorism at Amanohashidate. He explained why the incident happened and told Wang Haotian about the serum created by the League of Heroes and the Kinzoku family.
"I didn't expect you to get into trouble with the Kinzoku family because of a girl." Wang Haotian sighed heavily and massaged his forehead. He had often warned Tenku to avoid Japan's strongest group of Realizers, but the other party did the opposite.
Tenku was close to the daughter of Fusyuhima Temple and is now in trouble with the son of the Kinzoku family. Wang Haotian did not know the next group he would meet. But the old geezer's face became serious after he remembered the last sentence of his explanation. Tenku wanted to reply, but Wang Haotian suddenly opened his mouth again.
"The Kinzoku family and the League of Heroes shouldn't have created such a serum. Now the situation is getting dangerous because it has fallen into the hands of the terrorists. I feel that soon there will be great chaos in Japan." Wang Haotian said in a deep voice.
