The Dragon King's subordinates habitually wore Qing Dynasty official attire, with their status in the Dragon King's Hall measured by their official rank.
The Dragon King's strength was unfathomably profound. Li Yuankun even suspected that the Dragon King had lived for over a hundred years, his cultivation possibly reaching the Human Immortal realm, otherwise, he could not have controlled the powerful Dragon King's Hall.
After clarifying, Ye Tian had a better understanding of the situation. He returned to the Ye Family Manor to continue treating Wei Ziqian.
However, upon entering the small courtyard, he saw two divine statues with severely peeling paint.
The old woman smiled and said, "Little Doctor Ye, I had my son send the divine statues over."
Ye Tian: "Where are your son and the others? I'll treat them to lunch."
The old woman waved her hand, "They have other matters. I let them leave. Little Doctor Ye, you don't need to trouble yourself."
Ye Tian nodded, "Alright. As we agreed, I'll give Grandma another two million."
The old woman tried to decline, but Ye Tian insisted on giving it to her.
Afterward, he moved the divine statues to the courtyard where he was staying, then opened a hole from beneath one of the statues. To his surprise, there was no money inside this statue, but a bronze short sword.
The short sword was only a little over thirty centimeters long, extremely sharp, emitting a cold glint. Its surface had cloud patterns, and the sword faintly exuded a murderous aura.
Ye Tian held the sword in his palm to observe it and said, "It seems the three divine statues are all different, and they absorb different amounts of incense power, so the items placed inside are completely different."
With this thought, he opened the second divine statue. This time, he took out a piece of ancient jade. Ye Tian had never seen such jade before; it was neither metal nor stone, but a blue-gold color, inscribed with runes.
The jade pendant was as large as his palm, round. Holding it, Ye Tian could feel a righteous energy, seemingly capable of suppressing all evil in the world.
He smiled, "A good treasure!"
After putting away the bronze short sword and the ancient jade, he continued to cultivate the first illustrated scripture until nightfall.
When it got dark, Cheng Baoyi finally returned, accompanied by Jiang Yulin. Seeing Ye Tian, Jiang Yulin felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Xiao Tian, your aunt and I have made up now."
Ye Tian was too lazy to bother with them now. This kind of love-hate dynamic would likely continue for a long time. He said, "Congratulations."
Cheng Baoyi: "Xiao Tian, your uncle and I are going abroad for a trip tomorrow. Please look after Wenxing and Ningning for me."
Ye Tian: "Don't worry, Aunt. I'll keep a close eye on them every day."
Jiang Ningning and Jiang Wenxing exchanged glances. Jiang Wenxing said, "Mom, since you won't be home, shouldn't you leave some pocket money?"
Cheng Baoyi, in a good mood, smiled and said, "I'll leave my card at home. As long as you don't exceed the limit, you can spend as you please."
Jiang Wenxing was overjoyed, "Mom, you're the best."
Having cultivated for a day, he prepared to rest well for the night.
While lying in bed browsing the news, Lin Ziyi called him for a video chat. They talked for over an hour.
Lin Ziyi didn't have much going on. Upon hearing that Ye Tian had bought the manor, she wanted to come and see it the next day.
After ten o'clock, the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright moon shone in the sky. Ye Tian continued to absorb the moonlight.
The next morning, Lin Ziyi arrived at the Ye Family Manor. By then, Cheng Baoyi and Jiang Yulin had already left, and Jiang Ningning and Jiang Wenxing had also gone to school.
Seeing such a large manor, Lin Ziyi was very surprised, "Tian Ge, this manor was worth the eight billion."
Ye Tian: "It's just a bit too big. It feels spacious when I live alone."
Lin Ziyi: "Isn't Dad working on your aunt's family's project? He often comes here on business trips. Let him stay here from now on."
Ye Tian: "Yes, you can have Uncle move the company headquarters here. I rarely live here anyway, so it's a waste to leave it empty."
Lin Ziyi smiled, "Speaking of company headquarters, Baozhi Company is preparing to hold an exhibition in Zhonghai, so I'll be borrowing it temporarily."
Ye Tian smiled, "The environment here is excellent, most suitable for exhibitions."
After having lunch with Lin Ziyi, Ye Tian checked the time. He asked Lin Ziyi to rest at the manor while he continued his journey to the wild mountain. As he left, he took the bronze short sword and the ancient jade with him.
