Chapter 2062 - 2058: Because of Jealousy
Mo Xiaoyan saw another woman beside Ye Fan and was already very angry. Then, being reprimanded by her own sister made her even more furious.
"What does it mean to be worthy of all beings? Why do I need to be worthy of so many people? I am just kindly trying to remind you, and you treat me like I’m trying to harm you, sister? How can you not understand my good intentions?" Mo Xiaoyan said anxiously.
Lu Xiaoman didn’t know how to talk to her sister. She felt at ease seeing her sister awake and Ye Fan returning to her side, but now she was extremely worried inside. She feared Mo Xiaoyan would cause trouble again, which is the outcome she most wanted to avoid.
"Forget it." Ye Fan walked over to Lu Xiaoman and said, "Don’t bother arguing with Xiaoyan. My purpose for coming here is very clear. If Xiaoyan is willing to help me, I would be grateful. If she refuses, I won’t force her. I will find another way."
Lu Xiaoman apologized, "Ye Fan, I didn’t expect Xiaoyan to be so willful. Even with matters beneficial to all, she’s still that way!"
Mo Xiaoyan said impatiently, "Sister, it seems you can’t appreciate my good intentions, right? Fine, I don’t want to say anything more to you. Dead brother-in-law, you want my help, don’t you? Fine, just get rid of that woman named Lan Jing, and I’ll help you. Consider it giving my sister and me some face, alright?"
"Xiaoyan, if you really don’t want to help, I won’t force you." Ye Fan said, "There are many things I need to discuss with your sister, so can you leave us for a while?"
Mo Xiaoyan negotiated with Ye Fan, but he didn’t agree and even asked her to leave, which infuriated her. She said, "Dead brother-in-law, can’t you even give me a way out? Fine, do whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t involve me, I won’t care. Hmph, I’m redundant anyway. I should have just died and saved myself the embarrassment. Better off staying unconscious..."
With that, Mo Xiaoyan turned and went downstairs.
Lu Xiaoman wanted to go after her sister and persuade her, but she knew her sister was too willful. In the end, she came to terms with her regret and chose to discuss matters with Ye Fan first.
...
...
"Ye Fan, I’m really sorry. I didn’t discipline my sister well. She’s becoming more willful, and I don’t know how to manage her. She’s really messing around!" After Mo Xiaoyan left, Lu Xiaoman still spoke apologetically.
Ye Fan smiled wryly and said, "It’s nothing really. Xiaoyan’s temper is something we are both aware of. Now, I just can’t communicate with the spiritual artifact beside me because an artifact inside me is suppressed. I have no other way, but there will always be ways to solve it, so don’t worry too much."
"Ye Fan, I’ll talk to Xiaoyan and ask her to help you." Lu Xiaoman suggested.
Ye Fan firmly shook his head and said, "I’ve said that I won’t go against your will. Whatever you decide to do, I will support you. Also, Xiaoyan might be in a bad mood because she just woke up from a coma, and her mind might be filled with resentment or revenge which I can’t control. All I can say is ... for you and her, live well on Earth, don’t make me worry."
Lu Xiaoman nodded. She suddenly remembered when Li Zhaojun invited her to help Ye Fan. At this moment, she wanted to let Ye Fan know but stopped before speaking.
She recalled her promise to Li Zhaojun not to mention anything. She didn’t want to betray Li Zhaojun, considering it her responsibility towards him.
Ye Fan said, "It’s getting late. Lan Jing and I will leave now... My cultivation matters are too troublesome, and there’s also an important person I haven’t found yet... Now that Xiaoyan is awake, take care of her mood, don’t blame her. Sometimes, treating yourself more as Xiaoyan’s friend than as her sister might be better."
Lu Xiaoman gazed at Ye Fan with a gentle and emotional expression, wanting to say more but finding herself unable to speak.
She not only wanted to discuss Li Zhaojun’s affairs but also mention accepting Mo Xiaoyan, but with Lan Jing present, she was unsure how to start.
"Ye Fan, you should go. I’ll take good care of Xiaoyan and won’t let anything happen to her, which is my promise to you!" Lu Xiaoman said with heartfelt sincerity.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "I believe in you. You will handle everything well!"
After that, Ye Fan called out to Lan Jing, "Lan Jing, let me take you back first. You can continue cultivating on your own. Once I find that person, I will come back to solve the problem with the eight small crystals together."
"Alright." Lan Jing nodded. She felt reluctant towards Ye Fan, but she also didn’t understand Mo Xiaoyan’s earlier actions.
Lan Jing asked, "Ye Fan, why don’t we just ask that girl to cooperate with us? I feel she indeed wants to help you."
Lan Jing was straightforward and said what she thought without considering whether it was appropriate. Ye Fan laughed wryly because Lu Xiaoman wasn’t familiar with Lan Jing’s personality and didn’t understand why Lan Jing spoke so bluntly.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "It’s all right. Whether she wants to help me or not, I follow what she says. Don’t guess her real intentions; as long as she is happy inside, I am fine with anything!"
Regarding the issues with the women around him, Ye Fan was very tolerant and generous, and this generosity wasn’t something Lan Jing, such a girl, could understand. Lan Jing looked at Ye Fan with curiosity and then at Lu Xiaoman, still not understanding why Ye Fan would rather speak openly to Mo Xiaoyan, eventually causing tension.
After Ye Fan took Lan Jing out, he finally told her, "Lan Jing, human emotions are much more complex than you think; it’s not something that can be explained in a few words."
"I know. I am human myself, so I roughly understand what you mean!" Lan Jing said, "Humans can be honest about some things, even if there are lies, they are for certain benefits... But I don’t understand why that girl was both honest and hypocritical?"
Ye Fan smiled wryly and said, "Because she has another feeling, and it’s called jealousy!"
