Zhou Xuan's expression turned grim. "Since when has the mere Jade Emperor Temple dared to be so arrogant?"
Ye Tian said indifferently, "A person who has just begun Qi Condensation, who gave you the courage to come to the Jade Emperor Temple and cause trouble?"
Zhou Xuan snorted, "Do you know that you, as the Abbot, will bring a lot of trouble to the Jade Emperor Temple!"
"Threatening me?" Ye Tian waved his right hand, and Zhou Xuan's legs went weak, collapsing onto the ground with a thud.
Those with him were startled and reached out to help him, but no matter how they tried, Zhou Xuan couldn't get up. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and asked tremblingly, "What did you do to me?"
Ye Tian said calmly, "The Ziyang Temple must have true experts. Have them resolve my methods. If they can't, come find me at the Jade Emperor Temple."
Zhou Xuan angrily asked, "Abbot Ye, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Ye Tian replied, "Farewell."
Zhou Xuan was carried down the mountain by his attendants. Ming Chen chuckled, "This Zhou Xuan, relying on the people behind him, was incredibly arrogant. Today, he has finally tasted defeat."
Ye Tian said, "The Ziyang Temple can attract so many influential figures to support him, which means there are experts within."
Ming Chen asked, "Abbot, do you mean we need to deter this expert first?"
Ye Tian stated, "Unless the opponent is an Earth Immortal, they certainly wouldn't dare to provoke the Jade Emperor Temple again."
Ming Chen laughed, "Even a Human Immortal is impossible, let alone an Earth Immortal."
Just then, Xia Lei walked over. Yesterday, Tang Mi had gone to sign with the company, while Xia Lei had been cultivating in the temple. Now, she had tasted the sweetness of cultivation, and her entire demeanor had changed.
"Brother Ye Tian, I need to go back to school."
Ye Tian replied, "Yes, I happen to have something to do, so I'll take you back to school directly."
He said goodbye to Chen Hui, Shui Yue Xian, and a few others, then drove Xia Lei to school.
After sending Xia Lei off, he returned to the grand mansion in the capital. Han Ningshuang had actually been living there all this time. She liked the environment very much, and of course, she was actually waiting for Ye Tian to return.
Ye Tian had been gone for many days. Han Ningshuang couldn't help but ask, "Ye Tian, are your matters finished?"
Ye Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing much, I just inexplicably became the Abbot of a Taoist temple, so I was delayed for a few days."
Han Ningshuang was stunned. "Abbot? You've become a Taoist priest?"
Ye Tian clarified, "I'm not a Taoist priest, just the Abbot."
Han Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Ye Tian then asked, "Do you seem to have something on your mind?"
Han Ningshuang nodded. "I want to disband the Han Clan."
Ye Tian was taken aback. "You've already taken control of the Han Clan, why do you want to disband it?"
Han Ningshuang sighed softly. "I'm not my grandfather; I don't have the ability to control these ambitious figures long-term. Currently, they outwardly obey me, but I can't interfere in their domains. I think, rather than both sides being unhappy, it's better to disband the Han Clan and let everyone go their separate ways."
Ye Tian nodded. "If you have no ambition, this is not an unreasonable choice."
Han Ningshuang continued, "But when I prepared to let go, I realized I was already put on the spot, and I couldn't get down."
Ye Tian was surprised. "What do you mean?"
Han Ningshuang explained, "The Han Clan has twelve disciples who control immense resources. When my grandfather was alive, he could guide them in building large enterprises and achieving success. But now, I can't guide them, so these twelve people actually don't need me much anymore."
"At the same time, some of the things they do have caused the Han Clan to offend some major powers. They offend people, but I have to bear the consequences. Tell me, isn't that difficult for me?"
Ye Tian asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to disband the Han Clan? They disagreed?"
Han Ningshuang sighed. "My Han family holds a large stake in these companies. If I withdraw, do you think they would let me take my shares? Although you helped me overcome the difficulties last time, they wouldn't dare to easily harm me, but they could use some minor tactics."
Ye Tian then asked, "So? What are you planning to do?"
Han Ningshuang looked at him deeply and said, "I need to find a backer now, a backer who can inspire awe in the twelve disciples."
Ye Tian asked, "Have you found one?"
Han Ningshuang nodded. "It's you, Ye Tian!"
