Though Lu Fan had absolutely no need of the Situ Family’s assistance, the fact that Situ Qianqian was willing to make her intentions and position known, by both reason and sentiment. This was something Lu Fan acknowledged and appreciated.
He smiled, waved a hand dismissively, and said, “No need. Something minor like the Tie Family doesn’t need me nor the Situ Family to get involved in. As I said, my Senior Sister has already gone to the Tie Family. I trust she will be able to handle it. For us, let us just head back and continue with the banquet. I’m actually curious about your Blessing Master. What exactly are their Skills like, and what this blessing ceremony is.”
Upon hearing these words, Situ Qianqian was once again stunned into silence.
Leave Ye Wuxian to face the Tie Family alone!?
This was beyond the bounds of prehension!
That was the Tie Family!
Situ Qianqian had originally been on the verge of asking once more whether Ye Wuxian might be in danger facing the Tie Family alone.
But seeing that Lu Fan showed not the slightest trace of worry for Ye Wuxian, she realised that Ye Wuxian in all likelihood had her own trump cards.
Someone as formidable as Lu Fan could not possibly allow Ye Wuxian to walk into mortal peril while he himself leisurely attended some banquet at the Situ Family.
Since Lu Fan was this at ease about Ye Wuxian’s departure, there was surely his own reasoning behind it. There must be a level of certainty that Ye Wuxian could handle the Tie Family and emerge unscathed.
If she continued to talk about this topic, it would only irritate Lu Fan.
And so, Situ Qianqian forcibly suppressed her urge to ask further, obediently acpanying Lu Fan towards the banquet, and said not another word about Ye Wuxian.
As for Lu Fan, while in the Situ Family, he was naturally at ease about Ye Wuxian.
…
On the other side, Jian Ying and the others soon met up with Han Ke and Ye Wuxian.
Reunited, the five young women exchanged a few brief words before setting off towards the Tie Family’s current hiding place.
Along the way, Han Ke and the others were naturally curious about what Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian had experienced over the past few days.
After all, while Ye Wuxian had told them earlier of what the Tie Family had done to her, she had not elaborated in detail on what the two of them had gained after venturing into the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance.
Now that the five had reunited, there was every reason to exchange notes properly. They wanted to understand exactly what Ye Wuxian had obtained that had made a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family covet it.
Ye Wuxian naturally had no reason to conceal anything from Han Ke and the others. She recounted every last detail of the preceding events to the four women as they travelled, including a live demonstration of the Ancient God Power she had acquired and its effects.
Upon hearing Ye Wuxian’s account, Qin Qiu and the others could not help feeling a tinge of envy. Lu Fan had always treated each of them very well. Without Lu Fan, they might only now be reaching their Third Profession Change. They would just be anonymous students within Dragon Capital University.
Yet Lu Fan had truly never gifted any of them a plete Legendary Grade Equipment Set.
One has to admit, though they were all friends, Ye Wuxian did seem to occupy a rather more special place to Lu Fan…
Only Han Ke remained unbothered by this. Still, when she looked at Ye Wuxian, her eyes carried a peculiar glint.
In truth, Han Ke had already begun privately wondering whether Lu Fan harboured any feelings for Ye Wuxian.
Having spent this time together, Han Ke had e to feel that Qin Qiu, Tao Xiaoman, Jian Ying, and Ye Wuxian were all genuinely remarkable young women.
Furthermore, they all shared a deep bond with Lu Fan. Should Lu Fan truly develop feelings for any one of them and bring her home, Han Ke, as his Auntie, would be more than willing to accept any of them.
And now, she appeared to have noticed that Ye Wuxian stood apart from the others. She seems to be receiving a touch more of Lu Fan’s attention.
When Han Ke reviewed Ye Wuxian once more, the young woman did seem rather outstanding…
But, if Ye Wuxian had any inkling of what Han Ke was thinking at that very moment, she would surely have gone scarlet from her head to toe.
Fortunately, Ye Wuxian had no idea what Han Ke was thinking.
She was still in discussion with Jian Ying and the others regarding the Ancient God Power and had even arrived at a conclusion.
The three Ancient God Powers fused together from Jian Ying’s trio could be called the most impenetrable shield.
While Ye Wuxian’s flame, capable of incinerating all things, could be said to be the sharpest spear.
The contest between spear and shield had long been an enduring question, and the four of them were genuinely curious as to which would prevail. Would the spear be sharper or the shield be more unyielding?
And so, the four deliberately ran an experiment, each deploying a portion of their Ancient God Power.
The trio conjured a mass of metallic material, while Ye Wuxian condensed a flame and attempted to scorch the metallic mass. They wanted to see whether she could burn straight through it.
Under the searing burn of the Ancient God Power’s flame, the metallic mass was indeed melted, dissolving into the air until it ceased to exist.
However, the rate at which it melted was extraordinarily slow.
In other words, Ye Wuxian’s Ancient God Power did possess the capacity to burn through the metal armour of the trio. However, at her current level of strength, she was in all likelihood still incapable of achieving it.
Even if she were to exhaust every last reserve of her Ancient God Power, it would be difficult to replicate what Lu Fan had done, which was blasting the three young women straight out of their metal giant in a single blow.
Of course, if Ye Wuxian were to have enough of an advantage in Level and overall strength, breaking through their Defence was not entirely out of the question.
This was also perfectly consistent with the characteristics of their respective Ancient God Powers. Ye Wuxian’s Calamity Ancient God was a High Tier Ancient God. Its Ancient God Power was naturally more overwhelming.
Whereas the three young women drew their Ancient God Power from Low Tier Ancient Gods. Still, when those three united as one, their might could not be measured by a single Ancient God Power alone.
Thus, in this contest of Attack against Defence, the gap between the two sides was not particularly vast. On the whole, the three young women held the edge in Defence. Yet, it was not entirely beyond the possibility for Ye Wuxian to breach it.
All one could say was, it was truly fortunate they were all friends.
If they ever stood on the opposite side, they would undoubtedly have given each other a ton of headaches.
…
Western Border, Full Moon Well.
This was an exceptionally well-concealed Dungeon Instance within the Western Border. It was originally a Level 130 Dungeon Instance that the Tie Family had subsequently taken a liking to and transformed into a private Dungeon Instance for their own use.
Over the years, the Tie Family had been quietly developing Full Moon Well, and it had by now taken on a rudimentary shape.
The affair involving Ye Wuxian had only accelerated the pace at which the Tie Family had relocated here.
Within a single day, the Tie Family’s original ancestral residence had been emptied of all life. Nothing remained but an empty shell of a mansion, devoid of any valuables.
All of the Tie Family’s resources and people had been transported here, transforming this place into the Tie Family’s true stronghold.
Now, every member of the Tie Family awaited the return of the Tie Family Elder, who would bring Ye Wuxian back as their captive. So long as they obtained Ye Wuxian’s equipment, the Tie Family’s overall strength would inevitably rise to yet another level.
They need only rest and recuperate for a few years, keeping clear of Lu Fan’s pursuit, and their Tie Family might, in the future, have a genuine chance at being a Sacred Land.
