Inside the Imperial Palace,

"Jiang Hongyun, I'm sorry! I was deceived by the slanderous words of others! It's all my fault, causing suffering for both of you!" Jiang Huang's tears streamed down his face as he apologized to Jiang Ningran and Zhai Ruoling with a remorseful gaze.

Since Jiang Ningran broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, his attitude towards her had completely changed. Not only did he bring Zhai Ruoling, Jiang Ningran's mother, out of the Cold Palace, but he also deposed the mother of Princess Gaoyang and reinstated Zhai Ruoling as the Empress of Great Song.

Jiang Ningran ignored him and absentmindedly touched the wrinkles on her mother's body.

Who was Jiang Hongyun? He could bend and stretch!

Moreover, she was his own daughter...

"Slap! Slap! Slap!" He gave himself three slaps.

In order to alleviate Jiang Ningran's hatred towards him as her father, he made a cruel decision towards himself.

Three slaps, resulting in a swollen and bruised face.

"You can leave, I want to have a private conversation with the Empress!" Jiang Ningran glanced at Jiang Huang's face, her heart unaffected, and even thought of taking action against him again.

"Fine then! You can chat with the Empress!" He walked towards the door disappointedly, feeling wronged.

"Ah! Being the Emperor of Great Song is so difficult! I have to endure humiliation both externally and internally..."

"Everyone scolds me for being opportunistic and cunning... If it weren't for me dancing on the edge of a knife, the Jiang royal family would have been overthrown long ago! Who would understand the bitterness in my heart?"

Jiang Ningran suddenly remembered something and stopped the dejected Jiang Hongyun.

"I hope the mastermind behind the framing of the Empress can be brought to justice! If you're not willing to take action, I can..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huang's hope was reignited. As long as his daughter still had some requests of him, it meant that their father-daughter relationship hadn't completely broken.

Jiang Huang immediately interrupted Jiang Ningran's words and said firmly, "Ningran, rest assured! I will definitely ensure justice for you! Even the heavens won't spare them!"

...

"Your Majesty, has Ningran accepted you?"

Ye Tian burned incense and sat slumped in a reclining chair, with maidservants feeding him spiritual fruits one by one, enjoying himself.

"There's progress..."

Ye Tian rolled his eyes at him and muttered under his breath.

"Letting you favor one person alone, now you're suffering the consequences! I'm the smart one, treating family members should be fair and equal..."

...

Three days later, the meeting to divide the influence of the Holy Spirit Sect's power took place as scheduled.

"Considering that the Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Sect willingly fell into depravity and joined the demonic cult, as well as Yuquan True Immortal aiding and abetting tyranny... From this day forward, the Holy Spirit Sect no longer exists! After packaging all the assets of the Holy Spirit Sect, rewards will be given based on merits!"

After Jiang Huang finished speaking, he glanced at the attendees, including Luo Yunfei, Ye Tian, the Ma Clan Chief, and the Sect Master of Xuan Yangmen, seeking their opinions.

"Agreed! +6"

"In a series of battles, the Ye Clan of Chaoyang contributed the most, followed by my Jiang Clan and the Luo Clan..."

"35% of the original Holy Spirit Sect's land will be given to the Ye Clan of Chaoyang, and 30% will be allocated to my Jiang Clan..."

The division of spoils was reasonable and well-founded, without causing much controversy.

Thus, a sumptuous feast came to an end...

Before leaving, Ye Tian was invited by Luo Yunfei to a luxurious club in Yangzhou.

Luo Yunfei said with a smile.

"Chief Ye can be called a young hero!

Your deeds are widely spread in our clan, and many girls in the Luo family have a secret affection for you...

Especially Luo Siyi, the outstanding figure among our younger generation, has asked me about your news multiple times!"

Ye Tian liked hearing this, but he had to be reserved...

"Young girls, they all experience springtime...

It's human nature!"

"Uh, but if she really can't sleep at night because she misses me, I wouldn't mind meeting her..."

The first half of the sentence is polite, the latter half is sincere.

Of course, Clan Chief Luo understood Ye Tian's meaning, and he took a sip from the wine jug.

"Cheers!"

"If you have time one day, I will definitely bring her to visit the Chaoyang Ye family and broaden her horizons..."

Ye Tian clinked glasses with him and continued:

"Clan Chief Luo, please leave some of your young descendants for me!"

Luo Yunfei widened his eyes, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Weren't they just pushing each other a moment ago? Why can't he keep up the act now?

"What are you thinking? I am doing it for the sake of my children. In a few years, they will all be of marriageable age...

As the clan leader and a father, I should take care of these worldly matters for them!"

Uh, it really wasn't for the system's rewards...

Ah, as a qualified father, worrying about these things is truly exhausting.

...

This trip took nearly three months from start to finish.

After talking with his fellow cultivators for a few days, he arrived at the Wind Pavilion of the Mysterious Feather Sect, which was his and Yu Xiner's residence and cultivation place.

"Xiner, during the time I was away, did you practice diligently?"

Ye Tian posed as a master.

"Master, cultivation is too hard!

Can you take me out to play... like catching butterflies..."

She pouted her lips and clung to Ye Tian's hand, acting spoiled.

After all, she was still a child, and Ye Tian couldn't directly refuse.

"Good, when you break through to the later stage of Foundation Building, I will take you out!"

Xiner raised her hands and happily jumped around.

"Thank you, Master! Let's go out now!

I just broke through to the eighth level of Foundation Building the day before yesterday..."

After saying that, she released her cultivation base, which surprised Ye Tian.

Before Ye Tian left, her cultivation base was only at the fourth level of Foundation Building.

"Really? I've only been gone for three months, how did your cultivation base increase so much?

And I didn't even notice!"

Xiner covered her mouth and laughed.

"I actually broke through to the later stage of Foundation Building a year ago... I've just been hiding my cultivation base all this time...

That sister told me not to let others know about my strength when I'm outside..."

Ye Tian sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"What a monster!

What kind of master am I? I didn't even know the cultivation level of my own disciple..."

Xiner had a technique that perfectly matched her body structure, and he couldn't offer any suggestions... She had the life experience that mysterious sister had imparted.

Then what was the point of him being her tool of a master?

To accompany her in catching butterflies?
