Chapter 1076: I'll Kill Them All
In that special spacetime, Ye Guan fell silent for a long time as he listened in on the conversation between Yang Ji and Yang Yue.
He had once been at the bottom of the social hierarchy, and the Ye Clan had once been a tiny power. At the time, he had yet to be exposed to the upper echelons of society and had no idea about the rules of the world, let alone human nature.
After inheriting the family business, he still had no need to engage with or understand such things, as he was the one in power. He was the one who set the rules.
As he watched Fang Yu and Yang Ji, he realized that his train of thought was too simple. Yang Ji was right; the people following him weren't there because they shared his beliefs; they were there for the profits.
Was that wrong? Not at all.
If they were not doing it for personal gain, why would they follow him?
The problem wasn't with them; it was with Ye Guan. His mindset had been too simple and naive.
All these years, he had been doing nothing but subjugate outside forces. While it seemed that he was making the Guanxuan Academy stronger and stronger, in reality, he hadn't changed the rules at all. In fact, he probably worsened some of it.
Human nature!
