	For a while, Yangming led the Brotherhood in Beijing, hoping to find a weakness in the Tigers' organization and take them down before they could completely steal Imperial power. During this time, he trained Shao Jun in the arts and philosophy of the Assassins, until she reached the level of Initiate, calling her "little sister". The Mentor often used her talents in gathering information critical to his operations.<ref name="Scroll 8">''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]'' – [[Database: Scroll 8 (China)\|Scroll 8]]</ref>		For a while, Yangming led the Brotherhood in Beijing, hoping to find a weakness in the Tigers' organization and take them down before they could completely steal Imperial power.

	Eventually, in 1524, the Tigers launched the [[Great Rites Controversy]] to eliminate all those who opposed their reign, including any remaining Assassins in China.

	For the next three years, Yangming continued his hunt of the Eight Tigers alone, leaving Shao Jun at their hideout in the countryside to meditate on the events in Macau and recover from her trauma. However, he had little success in his search and eventually returned to the village in January 1529, where he was surprised to find Jun in the same place he had left her.<ref name="Qixie">''[[Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun]]'' – [[Shao Jun and Qixie]]</ref>		For the next three years, Yangming continued his hunt of the Eight Tigers alone, leaving Shao Jun at their hideout in the countryside to meditate on the events in Macau and recover from her trauma.

	After heading to a barn to talk in private, Shao Jun expressed how the deaths caused by what she perceived as her own negligence still weighed heavy on her mind. Yangming tried to reason with her, reminding her of Ezio Auditore's words that Assassins do not fight for revenge, but instead for ~~the~~ freedom ~~of humanity~~. When Jun asked if her actions in Macau reflected that goal, Yangming reminded her of the day he had rescued her from the Imperial Palace and claimed that her old friend [[Zhang Qijie]] may require her help.<ref name="Qixie"/>		After heading to a barn to talk in private, Shao Jun expressed how the deaths caused by what she perceived as her own negligence still weighed heavy on her mind.
