Ye Tian: "Old Li, I'll take them to rest first."
At this moment, Yang Lina and the others were all in a昏迷 state. Ye Tian carried them all into the room and asked Lin Ziyi to look after them temporarily.
Returning to the courtyard, he found Li Xuangui still absorbing the moon essence with his inner core, looking quite pleased.
"Old Li, you're already a Earth Immortal. Do you still need this thing to absorb moon essence?"
Li Xuangui: "What do you know? This inner core has the marvelous effect of gathering moon essence. Didn't you see that all the moon essence within a hundred-mile radius has come to me?"
Ye Tian: "Hurry up, don't break it for me."
Li Xuangui rolled his eyes: "What inner core can be broken!"
Half an hour later, he finally stopped absorbing the moon essence and landed opposite Ye Tian as an energy body.
Ye Tian put away the inner core and said, "Old Li, can you use your abilities now?"
Li Xuangui: "Much stronger than before, but not too strong."
Ye Tian: "It seems I'll have to find more curses for you to absorb in the future."
Li Xuangui: "This kind of thing can't be done again. I can already recover my cultivation on my own and don't need these."
Ye Tian: "Alright, as you wish."
The night passed without incident. The next day, the three women woke up one after another. They had slept very comfortably that night, without nightmares or physical discomfort. They were full of energy and radiant.
After tidying up and dressing, they came to the living room together to thank Ye Tian. However, Ye Tian had already left early, and only Lin Ziyi was waiting for them outside.
"Ziyi, it seems we are all fine!" Li Wenjun said with surprise.
Lin Ziyi smiled: "Yesterday, Ye Tian removed all your curses. You don't have to worry anymore."
The three women were overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.
Lin Ziyi: "Since we sisters have finally gathered, after we eat, we'll go around the provincial capital and visit our alma mater in the afternoon."
With their troubles resolved, the three women felt relieved and readily agreed.
Ye Tian had indeed gone out. Yang Shoucheng knew he was in the area and invited him over for tea.
Yang Shoucheng and Yue Qingning were waiting for him at home. When Ye Tian arrived, the three of them drank tea and chatted.
Ye Tian saw a hint of worry in Yang Shoucheng's expression and knew he might have something to ask. He said, "Old Yang, do you have something on your mind?"
Yang Shoucheng sighed softly and said, "After defeating Liu Jinhai last time, your sister-in-law took the position of Hall Master and managed the Qingmen in the provincial government. Everything was going smoothly, and I even got some cooperation projects with Qingmen because of it. But a while ago, a powerful figure in Qingmen sent down a young man named 'Lu Zixian' who wanted to replace your sister-in-law and become the new Hall Master. So, during this period, the Qingmen headquarters has been constantly causing trouble for Qingning, which is very annoying for your sister-in-law."
Ye Tian: "For example?"
Yue Qingning: "For example, they send me to do very dangerous things, to accomplish impossible tasks."
Ye Tian took a sip of tea: "Old Yang, you are not lacking in wealth now. It would be good if sister-in-law could withdraw from Qingmen. Sister-in-law has management talent, so she could work at Baozhi Company."
Yue Qingning: "Brother Ye, I also want to withdraw, but there are too many people under me who rely on Qingmen for a living. I can't abandon them."
Yang Shoucheng: "Brother, actually, the task assigned to Qingning by the higher-ups, although intended to make things difficult for her and make her retreat, might not necessarily be an opportunity."
Ye Tian: "Oh, what do you mean?"
Yang Shoucheng: "The task assigned by the headquarters is extremely difficult, and no one has been able to solve it. If Qingning can accomplish this, all the elders, and even the Sect Master, will look highly upon her. This newcomer will naturally be powerless to compete with her. In fact, Qingning might even be promoted further and become the leader of Qingmen in the Eastern Six Provinces."
Ye Tian: "The leader of the Eastern Six Provinces? Does that mean all the Qingmen in the Eastern Six Provinces will listen to sister-in-law?"
Yang Shoucheng: "Theoretically, yes. The dividends from each year must pass through your sister-in-law's hands."
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and asked, "What exactly is the task?"
Yue Qingning: "To clear out the Hong Bang's influence in our province."
Qingmen and Hong Bang have a long history, originating from the same root hundreds of years ago. However, as the world entered modern civilization, the two forces began to compete for interests. Due to the high similarity in their profit points, this has led to continuous conflict between them, which has become increasingly fierce. In the last decade, they have reached a point of irreconcilable hostility.
