Chapter 1103: Chapter 1099: Oblivious to Romance
Ye Fan asked Lan Jing so questions about her mother along the way. When they returned to the hotel, Li Zhaojun, Wu Ding, and Min Shang had arrived with Qing Xu, followed by Han Qing’er who had just reached the Golden Core Stage after taking the Light Refining Pill.
Upon reaching their room, Wu Ding explained the previous situation: “Senior Brother Qing Wu likely ca to Earth on an order from his sect to complete a certain task. He has already left Hua Hai City with Li Bei, heading east. Do you know where they might be going?”
Heading east from Hua Hai City leads to the ocean, with nothing but a few islands in between unless they’re going to the Arican continent.
Ye Fan shook his head, saying, “Senior Sister, you don’t an to follow Senior Brother Qing Wu, do you?”
“I actually did have that thought, but my cultivation is lower than his. If I track him too closely, he’ll notice. If I stay too far, I’ll lose him. So I wanted to discuss with you about us going together, or maybe having Miss Lan accompany . Her cultivation is high, making tracking more feasible,” Wu Ding said, eyeing the distracted Lan Jing.
“?” Lan Jing was puzzled.
She knew nothing about the grudges between Earth and the Pan Gu Secret Realm, nor did she have any interest in knowing. Her world was simple: as long as she was happy, it didn’t matter if the Pan Gu Secret Realm was destroyed or not.
“Senior Sister, isn’t that a bit too demanding?” Ye Fan frowned.
“If you don’t want to go, then forget it. I’ll just go myself. But don’t regret it if sothing happens to Earth in the end. It’ll be all on you Earthlings!” Wu Ding left angrily, also heading towards the East Sea, saying she was going to track Elder Wu and Li Bei. But by that ti, those two had already left for a while, and she might not be able to catch up.
After she left, Li Zhaojun ca over and asked, “Ye Fan, are you really letting Senior Wu Ding go like that?”
Ye Fan sighed and said, “What can I do if I’m uneasy? Senior Sister is too straightforward. Flying on her sword in broad daylight can easily cause panic among the people. Zhao Jun, you and Min Shang just advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage. Adjust yourselves, and I’ll go next door to cultivate.”
Li Zhaojun chuckled, “What, worried you can’t hold yourself back and then…”
“There’s nothing about holding back. After it gets dark, let’s head toward the East Sea as well. If we find Senior Brother and Senior Sister, great. If not, we’ll make a trip to Arica and then return. With our current cultivation, a round trip should only take two or three hours.
Compared to the vastness of the Pan Gu Secret Realm, Earth is just a small place. Moreover, Ye Fan is familiar with Earth’s terrain, making it sowhat easier to look for Wu Ding and Elder Wu.
Even if they can’t be found, Ye Fan wants to experience the sensation of traversing the ocean solely on his own strength. It’s a distinction between mortals and creators.
…
…
By late afternoon, just before sunset, Ye Fan had completed dozens of circuits of cultivation and was standing by the window, watching the bustling traffic outside, when the phone rang.
On the other end was Tantai Wanrong’s voice: “…Xiao Fan, didn’t I ask you to et Yaoyao to reassure her about her studies? I tried calling her earlier, but she didn’t answer. Now she’s even turned off her phone. I asked people at school, and they said she locked herself in her room, and crying sounds were faintly heard from within. Did you bully her?”
“Aunt Rong, Yaoyao seems like a little sister to . Why would I bully her?”
“You have the nerve to say that. If you treat Yaoyao like a little sister, then don’t let her have any ideas about you. You… sigh! You shouldn’t treat her so well that she misunderstands your intentions,” Tantai Wanrong’s voice was still filled with reproach.
Ye Fan laughed, “Aunt Rong, you’re mistaken. I’ve never shown Yaoyao any intention of that sort.”
“You should refuse her gently, not so directly like you’re doing now!” Tantai Wanrong still spoke with a questioning tone.
“Alright, it’s all my fault. Whatever you say is right, Aunt Rong.”
“Xiao Fan, you think Aunt Rong is nagging, don’t you? Then I won’t nag anymore. I have a eting tonight in Beijing. Do you have sothing you’d like to take for you?”
Ye Fan thought that with modern communication being so convenient, there’s nothing he’d need Tantai Wanrong to actually bring. But then again, he realized that perhaps Tantai Wanrong simply wanted to see him. The good mont the night before last was interrupted by Qin ngyao’s arrival. Perhaps Tantai Wanrong still wanted so way to repay him.
Thinking of Tantai Wanrong’s enchanting face and graceful figure, Ye Fan felt a stir in his heart, but he knew he had to hold back these thoughts.
After all, Qin ngyao suddenly “woke up” not long ago only because he used so thods to wake her. Had it not been for her appearance, it would’ve been difficult for him to calm Tantai Wanrong. Currently, she’s all alone at ho, and going there would be irretrievable.
“Aunt Rong, I don’t have anything for you to bring. Go ahead to Beijing; if there’s anything, we can talk over the phone,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
“Can’t you co see off? I… I have so things I want to talk to you about.” Tantai Wanrong sounded sowhat disappointed. She hinted for Ye Fan to co over, but he didn’t take the hint, so she had to openly invite him.
Ye Fan replied, “Aunt Rong, I’m with Zhao Jun and the others right now, and I have things to do later. You handle your work first. We’ll be in touch later.”
This ti, Ye Fan hung up first because he feared Tantai Wanrong might say sothing over the phone that he couldn’t refuse. He never had the heart to reject her.
Li Zhaojun ca over, wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, rested her head on his broad back, and asked, “Since Big Sister wants to see you, why don’t you go?”
“You know what Aunt Rong is like, Zhao Jun. She can be… too direct sotis.” Ye Fan smiled wryly.
“Are you afraid Big Sister will devour you?” Li Zhaojun laughed, “I think Big Sister knows her limits. Maybe she just wants to see you, to have a chat. After all, she’s not young anymore and needs soone’s companionship.”
Ye Fan turned around, smiling at Li Zhaojun, “And you?”
“?” Li Zhaojun lowered her head slightly, “I need soone too, and isn’t that why I ca to you?”
Under the setting sun, Li Zhaojun looked incredibly alluring, especially in her loose garnt. Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun found themselves kissing deeply, feeling each other’s love.
After a long while, Ye Fan released her lips, though Li Zhaojun was already sowhat moved. Whenever she was with Ye Fan, her Pure Yin spiritual energy would unconsciously submit to Ye Fan’s Pure Yang spiritual energy, and combined with her genuine affection for him, she found it increasingly difficult to resist him.
“Ye Fan…” Li Zhaojun’s face showed a trace of bewildernt.
“Zhao Jun, I still owe you a wedding. After the wedding, I promise to cherish you,” Ye Fan, seeming heartless, rejected Li Zhaojun’s affection.
Deep down, he also carried a shadow—a sense of guilt. Besides wanting to give Li Zhaojun a proper wedding, he felt guilty because he had so many won around him, and always felt that doing so was unfair to Li Zhaojun. After all, only Li Zhaojun was his true wife.
