Selling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

"No!"

Xue Qinghe shook his head hard, trying to fling that absurd idea out of his mind. He was the successor of the Angel God—how could he believe in another god?

"Little Brother Ye Yun, please withdraw your divine ability. We truly cannot withstand it."

By now, he had long since lost his earlier calm composure. The feeling of having his mind forcibly drawn in just now had filled him with dread from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Yun smacked his lips. His will was quite firm. It seemed he would have to wait a little longer.

At that moment, the effect of [Harmony] faded, and Ning Fengzhi and the others also came back to their senses.

Everyone let out a long breath one after another. Their backs were already soaked with cold sweat, and lingering fear still remained on all their faces.

Divine might truly was not something mortals like them could endure. In just that short while, they had nearly lost themselves within it.

It was not the kind of loss that came from forced brainwashing. Rather, it was like facing something one loved deeply from the bottom of one's heart—something one simply could not bear to leave, wanting only to draw a little closer, then closer still.

"Then may I ask why Little Brother Ye Yun has come to our Douluo Continent? According to what you said, Douluo Continent should have nothing worthy of Universe Continent's attention, correct?"

Xue Qinghe now only wanted to figure out what their goal was. If His doctrine spread, most commoners and commoner soul masters would probably become His believers, and that would take away a large portion of the faith directed toward the Angel God.

The corners of Ye Yun's mouth lifted, and he slowly spoke.

"Of course it's to build a branch of my family here. The Harmony Aeon embraces everyone."

Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes. This could no longer be counted as seizing faith. This was clearly an attempt to bring the entire Douluo Continent under their command, wasn't it? What an enormous appetite.

His current identity was the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, so he gave the response he ought to in this situation.

"Little Brother Ye Yun, are you not afraid of offending the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and Spirit Hall?"

Xue Qinghe's tone was unfriendly, and at the same time, he turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, wanting him to state his position.

Yet the latter acted as if he had not seen it at all, calmly drinking his tea.

He knew just how terrifying Universe Continent was. The Desert Eagle lying in his soul tool alone was not something ordinary soul masters could deal with.

If they insisted on a head-on clash, the one to suffer losses would definitely be Douluo Continent. Right now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only needed to choose a side.

Xue Qinghe's heart chilled, and he also understood the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's choice.

Ye Yun shrugged, his tone calm yet carrying a sense of certainty.

"Offending? The path of Harmony is meant to embrace all living beings. We never intended to provoke conflict. We are merely giving everyone another choice."

He raised his eyes and swept his gaze over Xue Qinghe, then continued, "Be it the two great empires or Spirit Hall, if they are willing to accept the doctrine of Harmony, then everyone can coexist peacefully and move forward together. But if they insist on obstructing us..."

His words paused, and a wisp of gentle yet irresistible aura quietly spread from around him. "Then we can only each rely on our own abilities."

Xue Qinghe's expression grew increasingly grave. With the other party's attitude, it was obvious they were determined to get what they wanted and had not taken the deterrence of the three major forces seriously at all.

No, he had to hurry back and tell Grandfather. The sky over Douluo Continent was about to change!

"I cannot make the decision. I must go back and inform Father Emperor, and let him decide. I will take my leave first."

With that, Xue Qinghe flicked his sleeve and walked toward the door.

Ning Fengzhi did not rise to see him off either. Since his stance had already been made clear, there was no need to keep up that teacher-student relationship any longer. Their positions were destined to bring them to crossed blades.

Tang San also understood what was going on now. So Brother Yun was a proud son of heaven from another continent. No wonder he understood so many principles at such a young age.

He was honestly moved to tears. Brother Yun had such a noble status, yet he was still willing to be friends with a child from the countryside like him...

"Don't worry, Brother Yun. Your business is my business. I'll definitely do everything I can to help you."

Xiao Wu's eyes widened. Trying to show off, are you?! All you know is how to flatter people!

"Brother! I'll help you too!"

Ye Yun smiled and patted Xiao Wu on the head, making Tang San feel a burst of envy.

Ning Fengzhi stood up, somewhat unsure of how he should address him now. If he still called him Little Yun, it seemed a bit disrespectful; but calling him Young Master would make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seem far too cheap.

After all, the other party had not yet agreed to let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect join them.

Ye Yun saw through his thoughts at a glance and said in a casual, easygoing tone, "Uncle Ning can just keep calling me Little Yun. No need to overthink it."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately felt much more at ease. He secretly rejoiced that Ye Yun had a gentle temperament. Despite holding such a powerful force in his hands, he did not show the slightest arrogance or tyranny.

"Then Uncle won't stand on ceremony." He steadied himself and said seriously, "Since you plan to establish a family branch on Douluo Continent, how about using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as your initial base?"

Ye Yun was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised inwardly. He had originally thought Ning Fengzhi would, at most, provide funds to help him find a suitable territory. He had never expected the other party to directly offer up the entire sect's grounds. This courage and boldness were truly extraordinary.

"Uncle Ning, if you hand this place over to me, what will the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect do?" Ye Yun asked.

Ning Fengzhi gently waved his hand, his expression looking extremely calm. Giving up the sect foundation that had been managed for generations naturally left reluctance in his heart, but after weighing the pros and cons, he had still made his decision.

"It is no matter." He slowly said, "From now on, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will merge as a whole into the family branch and contribute to the family's development. We need only ensure our inheritance continues unbroken. Aside from that, everyone in my sect, from top to bottom, will wholeheartedly believe in the Harmony Aeon."

Ye Yun was secretly delighted. Ning Fengzhi's move was simply timely help in the snow.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in hand, the family would not only have a stable foundation, but could also rely on the sect's connections and trade routes spread across the continent. Gathering all kinds of resources and materials would no longer be difficult, and every early-stage problem had been solved all at once.

Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's name could also attract more people, allowing the doctrine of Harmony to spread more effectively.

Xiao Wu hugged Ye Yun's arm and shook it.

"Brother, let's hurry and go find Rongrong. She should be getting anxious waiting!"

"All right. Then Uncle Ning, we'll excuse ourselves for now."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded.

Tang San, standing to the side, opened his mouth but said nothing. Although he also wanted to hang out with Brother Yun, Ning Rongrong definitely would not let him into her room.

After sighing helplessly, Tang San walked desolately back toward his own quarters.

At the same time, Xue Qinghe, who had returned to the Crown Prince's Residence, sat irritably in a chair writing a letter.

"Uncle She!"

"Your subordinate is here." Snake Spear Douluo's figure appeared silently at his side.

After handing the envelope to Snake Spear Douluo, Xue Qinghe instructed him, "Uncle She, you must deliver this to Grandfather as quickly as possible. Don't let that woman find out, no matter what."

Snake Spear Douluo sighed, but he knew very well that this matter between mother and daughter was not something he could interfere in. After acknowledging the order, he swiftly set off for Spirit Hall.

At the same time, Xue Qinghe also prepared to reveal some information to Emperor Xue Ye, so that the Heaven Dou Empire could obstruct Universe Continent's encroachment at the front first, giving Spirit Hall time to react.

When he hurried into Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber, he immediately bowed and offered his respects.

"Father."
