Knowing that the Ye Family would be able to help him with what he wanted to do, Lin Fan decided that it wouldn’t be worth it to keep holding back.
So instead, he waited until they were done ssing with him to ask his questions.
"Can we go to the Heavenly Demon Sect as well?"
When he asked this during dinner, Ye Qing Huan and her parents all looked at him with surprised looks.
It was as if they didn’t expect him to ntion the Heavenly Demon Sect all of a sudden like this.
Ye Qing Huan even seed a bit displeased to hear him ntion the Heavenly Demon Sect. The way that she looked at him was as if she was saying, "Didn’t you want to et my family for that?"
But Lin Fan just looked at them with a calm look on his face.
After a while, Ye Qing Huan’s father asked, "Why do you want to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect all of a sudden?"
"I’ve never been to the Heavenly Demon Sect even though I am now a core disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. I thought it would only be right to go there since I’ve co all this way." Lin Fan replied in a calm voice.
Ye Qing Huan narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan when he said this.
Lin Fan could naturally see the way that she looked at him, so he added, "At the sa ti, I feel that it would be appropriate to go and see Qing Huan’s master. After all, a master can be considered the sa as a parent."
A faint blush appeared on Ye Qing Huan’s face as well as a trace of surprise since she didn’t expect Lin Fan to say sothing like this. But in the end, there was a difficult look that also appeared on her face as if she didn’t want this to happen.
It seed like there was sothing that Ye Qing Huan was struggling with as well.
In the end, Ye Qing Huan’s father was the one that helped by saying, "This might be a bit difficult since Qing Huan’s master is busy most of the ti. Even if you want to et them, it would be hard to arrange it."
Lin Fan wasn’t surprised to hear this since cultivators were generally busy with cultivating.
If they were busy, then they were busy and it wasn’t anything that was exactly new.
Still, Lin Fan said, "I still want to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect and test my luck if possible."
"Alright."
The way that this was said was almost as if they had decided that there was no point in saying anything else. It was as if they could see that Lin Fan was determined to go no matter what they said.
But because of this, there was an awkward mood that filled the air.
Lin Fan could tell that there was sothing wrong because of what he said, though he certainly didn’t know what it was that had gone wrong.
Still, he chose to change the topic so that it would be as awkward.
"Speaking of which, I didn’t see Brother Tian Xie at all. I was hoping to have the chance to talk to him as well on this trip. It’s been a while since we’ve last t."
The mont that this was said, there was an even stranger mood that filled the air that made it even more awkward.
Lin Fan had no idea why this mood filled the room, but he could see the way that Ye Qing Huan’s parents were looking at him. It was as if they were trying to figure out if he was ssing with them or not.
When he saw this, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling confused since he just couldn’t understand why they would look at him like this.
Lin Fan had no such intentions at all, but it really felt like they thought that he was ssing with them.
Did sothing happen to Ye Tian Xie?
In the end, it was Ye Qing Huan who said with a sigh, "There’s sothing that I need to tell you."
When she said this, Ye Qing Huan’s parents looked at her as if they were urging her not to do sothing that she would regret. Only it seed like Ye Qing Huan had already made up her mind and was determined to see this through.
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling even more confused when he saw Ye Qing Huan like this.
After all, he had no idea just what was going on right now.
The only thing that he could tell was that whatever was happening wasn’t normal.
After a mont of silence, Ye Qing Huan suddenly said, "There’s no Ye Tian Xie."
"Huh?" Lin Fan had a shocked and confused look on his face.
If it wasn’t Ye Qing Huan who said this, Lin Fan certainly wouldn’t have believed what they said. However, even if it was Ye Qing Huan who said this, he couldn’t help feeling confused because of what she said.
After all, the words that ca out of her mouth just didn’t seem to make any sense.
Lin Fan had t Ye Tian Xie before...and there was all that information about Ye Tian Xie that he had collected.
He didn’t believe that this person nad Ye Tian Xie just didn’t exist like Ye Qing Huan was telling him. But he knew that Ye Qing Huan wouldn’t lie to him about this, especially in this situation.
At the sa ti, he could see the looks that were on the faces of Ye Qing Huan’s parents. It seed like they were telling him that this was the truth and there was a trace of a threat aid at him.
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling more and more confused when he saw all of this.
He just had no idea what was happening right now.
Seeing the look on Lin Fan’s face, Ye Qing Huan said, "I know that this is a lot to take in, but I’ll slowly explain so that you can co to terms with this."
Lin Fan slowly gave a nod in response, but it really was a bit too much for him.
Over the next half hour, Ye Qing Huan explained the entire situation of the Ye Family to him.
It turned out that Ye Tian Xie was nothing more than a persona that they had created for Ye Qing Huan’s sake.
The entirety of the Ye Family knew about this, but they worked together to make sure that no one else knew about it. At the sa ti, Ye Qing Huan and her parents threatened the rest of their family to keep silent about this.
The reason that it was necessary for them to create this persona was for Ye Qing Huan’s sake.
Even if this was a cultivation world where n and won could both possess power, it was still a fact that won were looked down on. If Ye Qing Huan were to be the only heir of the Ye Family, there would be those that looked down on her.
That was why they created the persona of Ye Tian Xie to protect Ye Qing Huan.
With Ye Tian Xie gaining fa, it ant that Ye Qing Huan wouldn’t be in the spotlight as much and would be able to live a normal life. All while Ye Qing Huan was able to fulfill the role of the Ye Family’s heir without any problems.
At the sa ti, with the Ye Tian Xie persona, it made things easier for Ye Qing Huan.
In the end, n were treated differently in this world.
A man would be respected more than a woman here.
Once she was done explaining, Ye Qing Huan said, "I’m sorry for keeping this from you, but it was an important matter to our Ye Family. I hope that you won’t mind that I was lying to you all this ti."
During this ti, Lin Fan could still feel the way that Ye Qing Huan’s parents looked at him.
But Lin Fan just looked at Ye Qing Huan in silence for a bit before finally saying, "It’s fine. I know that you have your own reason."
His voice was calm, but that was only on the surface.
While he said this, there were so strange feelings that filled Lin Fan.
The main thing was...
"I should have figured this out a long ti ago."
While Lin Fan himself had no idea about this, this was sothing that the system knew about a long ti ago. When they first t at the auction, the system had already told Lin Fan that this was the case.
It was just that he had no idea of this and he didn’t even consider this as a possibility, which was why he ignored it in the end.
When he first gained affection from ’Ye Tian Xie’, it had said that it was Ye Qing Huan who gave him this affection...
So even then, it was Ye Qing Huan and not ’Ye Tian Xie’ that he t.
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling strange about this, but he also made the decision not to doubt the system in the future. At the sa ti, he made sure that he would pay more attention to the things that the system showed him from now on.
Lin Fan could see the way that Ye Qing Huan looked at him, so he said, "I’m really fine. It’s just that this is a lot to take in."
Then with a smile, he said, "But I do understand why you did this and I promise that I’ll keep your secret."
Ye Qing Huan slowly revealed a smile before saying, "Thank you."
