After arriving in Hua Hai City, Ye Fan didn’t go to the places he was familiar with; he was searching for Li Zhaojun.
But he found that a vacuum area of spiritual energy had ford around, making it difficult to find not only Li Zhaojun but any ordinary cultivator. Even Sun Ning, Ye Fan’s capable assistant with Golden Core Stage cultivation, was not in Hua Hai City at the mont.
"Mr. Ye, you’ve returned to Hua Hai City? I’m still in Ninghai City, I’ll head back now, please wait a mont!"
Sun Ning quickly returned to Hua Hai City and appeared in front of Ye Fan. Upon learning that Ye Fan had returned to Earth to search for Li Zhaojun, she exclaid, "Mr. Ye, I don’t know whether Miss Li has returned to Earth because she hasn’t had any contact with , and my people haven’t found any trace of her either!"
"It’s not your fault!" Ye Fan said, "I don’t know what Zhao Jun is up to right now. She’s always so mysterious, making feel uncertain about many things. How are the wedding preparations going?"
Sun Ning replied, "According to your previous instructions, Mr. Ye, the wedding is being moved from Hua Hai City to Ninghai City. The invited guests have all been notified and many have already arrived from Hua Hai, but they’re all just your friends, with no direct relatives. As for the direct relatives, you’ll have to handle that yourself!"
"Alright." Ye Fan nodded, "I’ll personally attend to our close relatives, so you don’t need to worry about that!"
While they were speaking, Sun Ning’s phone suddenly rang. She checked it and inford Ye Fan, "Mr. Ye, it’s a call from your mother. This is the third ti the old lady has called in the past few days!"
Ye Fan sighed softly, because he had been traveling in the Pan Gu secret realm or Left Domain galaxy recently, with no ti to return to Earth, even when he did, it was in haste, leaving little ti to communicate with family.
"Give it to !" Ye Fan took the phone, which was forwarded because his calls went through Sun Ning to determine whether to connect him.
After Ye Fan answered the call, Qiao Feixuan’s voice ca from the other end: "... What have you been busy with lately? Don’t tell it’s still about cultivation. The wedding preparations are underway, and you haven’t told us anything. Are you trying to worry and your dad to death? Also, your Aunt Ning has been asking about you both lately. You two are unreachable, making us feel like we don’t have you as a son and daughter..."
"Mom, I told you, this wedding is just a formality!" Ye Fan said.
"Even a formality should be taken seriously. It’s your responsibility to Zhao Jun. You two only got your certificates before, and now you are officially husband and wife. Even ordinary people marry their daughters and daughters-in-law this way. We’re just ordinary people. Stop using cultivation as an excuse. I want to speak to Zhao Jun! You may not be sensible, but my daughter-in-law certainly is!" Qiao Feixuan said.
Ye Fan said, "Zhao Jun is not with !"
"What? You’re holding the wedding tomorrow, and you’re not together now. What are you doing? Having a bachelor party? You better find Zhao Jun now; I’ll give you ten minutes... Never mind, I’ll give you half an hour, and then I’ll call you again. Your Aunt Ning will also be here, letting the mothers talk. I don’t care how you do it, but if you don’t do as I say, we won’t attend the wedding tomorrow!"
Qiao Feixuan hung up angrily, not giving Ye Fan any chance to refuse.
Ye Fan knew that his mother would call again in half an hour. By then, he would have to face the double pressure of Qiao Feixuan and Ning Huwen, knowing he couldn’t handle their questioning.
He didn’t dare say in front of the two elders that he had lost track of Li Zhaojun.
"Mr. Ye, is there anything I can help you with?" Sun Ning asked with concern.
"Nothing, I’m just a bit irritated. No news about Zhao Jun at all?" Ye Fan said angrily.
Sun Ning lowered her head in disappointnt, clearly feeling guilty about not being able to assist Ye Fan.
The Plain Maiden said, "Master, the Mistress has suddenly disappeared on purpose to avoid you. Continuing like this won’t help; investigating the Mistress’s current objectives is what matters. I feel what she’s doing might be beyond her capabilities and possibly being manipulated by soone else!"
"Can you say sothing good?" Ye Fan glanced coldly at the Plain Maiden. The Plain Maiden, feeling helpless, lowered her head. Being awkward in Ye Fan’s presence because she wasn’t Ye Fan’s woman, she lacked the privileges his won had, like his understanding and compassion.
Sun Ning, however, was Ye Fan’s woman, so he was very tolerant of her.
"If there’s no sign in Hua Hai City, let’s check in Four-Nine City, or maybe explore ancient relics in the Arctic. If nothing is found again, we’ll spread our people thin, and make sure Zhao Jun is found!" Ye Fan said.
At this point, soone sent a jade talisman ssage, which was sent by a Believer of Sang Yuan, informing Ye Fan about the investigation concerning Li Zhaojun.
"Miss Shen appeared in Four-Nine City, but then she disappeared!" was the information Ye Fan received.
"What, Yanyan was in Four-Nine City?"
Ye Fan had been searching for Li Zhaojun, never expecting the matter to involve Shen Yan. He had previously sent people to protect Shen Yan, but considering her cultivation had advanced so much, reaching even the terrifying Transcendence Tribulation Stage, Ye Fan felt assured about her self-protection.
"Let’s go, head to Four-Nine City!" Ye Fan imdiately set off towards Four-Nine City.
...
...
Shen Yan found herself in a barren illusion and was almost lost within it.
It was like a dream. While illusions in this world were hard to trap Ye Fan, it wasn’t the sa for the won around him, who couldn’t discern the truth and fiction and would gradually lose themselves in the illusion until they forgot who they were.
Shen Yan had been used by Xi He, always leaving so loopholes in her spiritual power, which allowed Li Zhaojun to exploit, ensnaring Shen Yan in the illusion.
"You are Shen Yan, but also one of Ye Fan’s won. At all tis, you are just one among many. Your responsibility is to help Ye Fan free himself from demonic interference. If you can’t do that, you serve no purpose!"
This was the concept Li Zhaojun intended to implant into Shen Yan through the illusion, but Shen Yan’s spiritual power maintained so defenses, preventing her from being completely lost in a short ti.
