Ye Fan wanted to take Ping Han away, and Ping Han herself didn’t object, while Hua Wu didn’t say anything. She just closed her eyes, seemingly acquiescing to Ye Fan being able to take anyone from Tianxuan Sect at will.
Beside him, Sang Yuan said, "Young master, people from Tianxuan Sect cannot be trusted. After all, this little girl has had her mind controlled by them."
Ye Fan glanced at Hua Wu, as if deliberately letting her hear, and said, "Sect Master Hua still needs to be detained within the Tianxuan Sect’s mountain gate, the one controlling the puppets isn’t here, what do I have to worry about?"
Sang Yuan didn’t dare to object further and had to withdraw to the side.
Ye Fan turned and looked at Ping Han, who had originally raised her head, but now lowered it again. Ye Fan said, "Are you willing to co with ?"
Ping Han’s face showed so bewildernt and helplessness, but in the end, she nodded, her chin almost drooping to her chest.
This indicated she was still very shy at heart.
"Although a cultivator, you still have the traits of a human girl, which ans you haven’t been corrupted by secularism. That’s good too, following by my side in the future will keep you away from the intrigues of Tianxuan Sect!" Ye Fan sighed softly, turned, and started walking in the direction down the Tianxuan Sect’s mountain, while Sang Yuan waved his hand behind, instructing those responsible to set up the prison for Hua Wu again.
Ye Fan didn’t imdiately take Ping Han away but instead let Ping Han go back to say goodbye to the people of Tianxuan Sect and pack her belongings. At this ti, Ye Fan was under the Shuangfeng Mountain of the Tianxuan Sect’s gate, watching the descending procession of the Tianxuan Sect disciples, lost in thought.
"Young master, this servant feels... that little girl doesn’t have a right heart, if you leave her by your side, I fear she will be detrintal to you!" Sang Yuan was very resistant to having cultivators from the seven major sects stay by Ye Fan’s side, as these people might threaten her position in Ye Fan’s heart.
"You’re afraid of a little girl?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
Sang Yuan didn’t know how to respond and could only lower her head silently, as if agreeing.
Ye Fan said, "The person capable of controlling the minds of Tianxuan Sect disciples can only be Hua Wu. Not even Jing Ya and Hui Ning are necessarily proficient. As long as these three are controlled, even if Ping Han stays with , what can she do?"
"Young master, if you’re taken by Ping Han’s talent and beauty, this servant can find dozens among the believers with better looks and cultivation to serve you. This servant doesn’t understand why you would keep such a little girl! Or do you not trust this servant and want to find soone from the seven major sects, adding pressure to this servant?" Sang Yuan asked, feeling aggrieved.
Ye Fan said, "A newly appointed young elder from Tianxuan Sect, do you care about her?"
Originally, Sang Yuan indeed didn’t regard soone with cultivation as low as the Divinity Transformation Stage, like Ping Han, seriously. But now the issue was no longer about whose cultivation was higher, but who could earn Ye Fan’s favor more. Ye Fan was like a king, and the won around Ye Fan were like concubines. Her current status by Ye Fan’s side was not high, but it was only second to those girls Ye Fan had known on earth. Ye Fan still relied on her considerably.
With Ling and Wu Ding both successively taken in by Ye Fan, and now with Ping Han added, Sang Yuan felt the number of potential threats was growing. If a woman she was at odds with gained Ye Fan’s favor, it might spell her downfall.
"Don’t worry, keeping Ping Han by my side serves another purpose. I want to test if Tianxuan Sect can implant a kind of latent command in soone’s mind to activate at a certain ti, turning Tianxuan Sect’s disciples into sothing like robots, listening to the orders of Hua Wu or Jing Ya," Ye Fan said. "If I kept a man by my side, it wouldn’t make sense, but by keeping Ping Han, Tianxuan Sect would think I covet Ping Han’s beauty. Then, they might opportunistically use any latent consciousness within Ping Han to assassinate at the right ti!"
"I see," Sang Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. "But young master... that little girl towards you is..."
Sang Yuan didn’t want to continue, because she noticed that when Ping Han t Ye Fan, she was quickly subdued by his imposing manner. Even when she previously raised her sword to fight Ye Fan desperately, she lacked confidence, as if she was about to kneel and surrender at any mont.
In short, a woman like Ping Han lacked backbone, wanting to submit upon seeing a man with enough majesty and power.
Ye Fan said, "A disciple with Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation might be outstanding in Tianxuan Sect, but she’s sowhat diocre. Why can she beco an elder of Tianxuan Sect? Does she have enough insight? Clearly, she’s rely used as a tool by Tianxuan Sect. When they promoted Ping Han to elder, their greatest enemy was no longer the Imperial Extre Sect or the Ground Origin Sect, but . So Ping Han beca an elder, ostensibly to deal with , or it’s a move by Hua Wu. Hua Wu sees Ping Han’s temperant; she might have anticipated that I’d enjoy the feeling of conquest after seeing Ping Han, so she would let Ping Han stay by my side. When I think all of Tianxuan Sect’s people have been captured, with no one able to threaten , Hua Wu will use the tid consciousness within Ping Han to control her mind and use so Tianxuan Sect secret thod to assassinate ."
Although Sang Yuan always considered herself wise, she hadn’t thought that deeply, primarily because she’d never considered why Tianxuan Sect would appoint a small elder or what purpose it served.
Now, after hearing Ye Fan’s explanation, she found it very logical.
Sang Yuan said, "Young master, then how will you guard against this?"
"How difficult could it be? Even if I’m close to her, as long as I’m alert, what ans could she deploy against ? Or, I want to see what Hua Wu’s final trump card is. This ti I approached Tianxuan Sect, ostensibly drawing the enemy deep, but it was actually to present with a Ping Han, letting her stay by my side. This is the true goal of Tianxuan Sect. Now, I’m just going along with their plan, taking it a step at a ti!" Ye Fan said.
Sang Yuan felt sowhat shocked inside.
She wasn’t human; she was a humanoid created by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. Although she had all the wisdom and function of humans, her thought process logically differed from human beings. It was the first ti she felt the terrifying nature of human problem-solving.
"Then, the previous talk about Tianxuan Sect plotting against you, could it have been disclosed by Tianxuan Sect themselves?" Sang Yuan asked.
Ye Fan replied, "It’s possible. It makes sense to lure to Tianxuan Sect, making think I have the upper hand, even eradicating the sect, yet still retaining the lifeblood in Ping Han. If Ping Han kills , or if her power can rally the cultivators to rebuild Tianxuan Sect!"
