Chapter 1129: Chapter 1125: I Gave My Most Precious Things to My Daughter
“Little niece, your mother and I are sisters, why would I lie to you? Would you really attack ?” The woman saw Lan Jing starting the attack, and her body instantly transford back into a red bird, flapping her wings to counter the attack.
Ye Fan could see she was not used to using immortal law in human form, which matched what she said before about being a beast spirit.
Although Lan Jing had a cultivation not inferior to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, there was still a gap between her and the woman. The woman could easily dissolve Lan Jing’s fierce attacks, still having the leisure to speak, “Little niece, if it weren’t for your mother’s sake, I truly wouldn’t let you be so reckless!”
Lan Jing attacked several tis but could never break through the red bird’s defense, so she could only retreat to Ye Fan’s side, cautiously observing the red bird.
The red bird transford back into human form, slightly annoyed, “Little niece, take to where your mother disappeared, I have a way to help you find her!”
Ye Fan said, “Senior, you’re not even willing to tell your real na, and your words are evasive, how can we trust you?”
“Hmph, a few mortals, dare to distrust ? Haha, you are just beings we created.” The woman sneered arrogantly, and suddenly soared into the sky, “Do you think that if you don’t take , I won’t find her on my own? Little niece, until we et again!”
The woman turned into a bird in the air, let out a long cry of “Hwaah,” shaking the heavens and earth. A red lightning bolt appeared in the sky, just like the one Li Bei described seeing when Elder Wu was injured. Subsequently, the woman headed towards the East Sea, appearing to know where Lan Jing’s mother had previously hidden.
After the red bird left, the North Pole returned to tranquility. Li Zhaojun said, “Ye Fan, she… seems a lot like the firebird ntioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.”
“Firebird?” Ye Fan thought for a mont and said, “Are you referring to Bi Fang?”
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the legendary firebird is Bi Fang, also known as the Fire God, but the Classic of Mountains and Seas is just a record of myths from mortals on Earth and can’t be relied upon. How could humans know about the matters of immortals?
Li Zhaojun said, “It’s not certain yet, should we go to the East Sea to see?”
Ye Fan didn’t answer, instead looking at Lan Jing and asking, “Lan Jing, what do you think?”
“Mother is already gone, yet people still try to deceive , trying to make find her. She is bad, her cultivation is high, I’m afraid she might disturb the peace of the holy relic.” Lan Jing looked sowhat saddened.
“Sigh!” Ye Fan sighed and said, “If she can’t find it, she should leave on her own. She herself said, after all, that humans are rely beings they created. These immortals have no reason to disrupt the peace of these beings. Let’s go back to Hua Hai City, and if there’s any change, we’ll head to the East Sea then!”
Even though they found the reason behind Elder Wu’s demonic rampage, Ye Fan could not subdue this woman because her cultivation was at least that of an immortal, if not a higher being, beyond what he could currently contend with.
…
…
Two hours later, they returned to Hua Hai City. On the way back, Ye Fan was contemplating a question: how did the Tianxuan Sect and Elder Wu know the firebird appeared at Earth’s North Pole?
Also, if Elder Wu knew his cultivation was so far off from the firebird’s, why would he go to his death willingly?
With these questions, the group returned to the hotel. Shen Yan, hearing the commotion outside, ca out, looked at Ye Fan, and said, “Ye Fan, where have you been?”
“Yan… Miss Shen, we had so matters to attend to and just ca back. It’s very late, why haven’t you rested yet?” Ye Fan felt it inappropriate to call her “Yanyan” in front of others, though every fan called her that and she used to like this form of address.
Shen Yan said, “I’ve been through so much, I can’t sleep. I’m considering whether to report to the authorities.”
Ye Fan pointed to Shen Yan’s room, “If it’s convenient, let’s talk inside.”
Shen Yan nodded, leading Ye Fan into the room, carrying a deanor of reserved respect, and Ye Fan did not push her.
“Yanyan, your kidnapping was part of a political conspiracy. Even if you reported it, nothing would co of it. It’s better to rest sowhere and recuperate.” Ye Fan said.
Shen Yan hesitated, saying, “I’m just an ordinary girl, I have nothing to do with politics. Why would they kidnap for political purposes? Ye Fan, do you know things that you’re not telling ?”
“I just don’t want you to get involved.” Ye Fan replied honestly.
“If you don’t tell , I’ll be left with unanswered questions, you’re torturing , you know?” Shen Yan looked at Ye Fan, a bit angry.
Ye Fan sighed softly, “In summary, it’s a dispute between two countries. Those people… want to use you to threaten , to get to work for them…”
“Using to threaten you?” Shen Yan’s expression was complex, ultimately shaking her head in disbelief, “We’re at most friends, why use to threaten you? Ye Fan, the more you talk, the less I understand.”
Ye Fan laughed, “Don’t you know I’m soone who would do anything for a friend?”
“Vain!” Shen Yan retorted, but felt touched in her heart. Had Ye Fan not rescued her, she would still be stuck in a foreign land, uncertain of when she could be free. Suddenly, she said, “Your wife is very beautiful.”
“Thank you, I think so too. eting Zhaojun is my fortune.” Ye Fan smiled and replied.
Shen Yan’s expression turned complex, and she said, “Previously, what I told you…”
“You were right, it’s probably better for us to remain friends.” Ye Fan smiled slightly.
Shen Yan gave a bitter smile, eventually nodding with a somber expression. Ye Fan didn’t explain further and left Shen Yan’s room, sensing her sitting on a chair with a blank expression, unable to decipher her thoughts.
Perhaps, as Li Zhaojun said, there was indeed so affection between Shen Yan and him, but her high starting point and high standards ant she wouldn’t want to associate with a married man, nor could he force anything.
At that mont, the Tongling Mirror within Ye Fan activated violently, catching him off guard.
He saw a wandering spirit swiftly drift to a spot not far from him but dared not get too close, for getting too close would be burned by the Tongling Mirror within him.
It was Lan Jing’s mother.
“Soone went looking for you.” Ye Fan communicated through the Tongling Mirror, like speaking with his mind, “She claims to be your sister, saw Lan Jing’s birth, and has since been hiding in the Arctic to cultivate.”
Lan Jing’s mother nodded slightly and said, “I know she went to the East Sea to look for , but she can no longer sense my presence. In this world, there’s no one else but you who can sense .”
“Ah?” Ye Fan was surprised, did that an Lan Jing’s mother was actually dead?
Ye Fan said, “How can I help you regain a body? Will you be a ghost forever?”
Lan Jing’s mother smiled slightly, “I’ve given everything, the best of , to my daughter. As long as she’s happy, I’m fulfilled.”
