Invincible Young Master in the City

Ye Fan couldn’t learn more about Lan Jing from Xuan Nu, and his only option was to find out more from Xi He. However, with Xuan Nu always nearby, he didn’t have the mind to ask anything, and the current allure required his attention.

"Ye Fan, I advise you not to let Lan Jing take on too much responsibility. She doesn’t have the ability to handle the Heavenly Tribulation. You claim she’s the Chosen One, but I think that’s something you imposed on her. She can’t be the Chosen One. At most, she has some common traits with what you mentioned about Tai Ning. How do you know that’s the acknowledgment?"

Xuan Nu seemed reluctant to admit that Lan Jing was the Chosen One. Ye Fan lowered his head to look at Xuan Nu. After using some methods to silence Xuan Nu, she couldn’t say anything.

Ye Fan said, "How I treat Lan Jing is my own business. Even you are my servant, so what right do you have to lecture me? You haven’t even explained the specifics of Lan Jing, yet you want me to help you with the issues surrounding Lan Jing. I think you’re a bit delusional."

At this point, Ye Fan spoke very bluntly, which made Xuan Nu very angry, but she was helpless as she was now under his control. Ye Fan could easily overpower her.

"Xuan Nu, I think you’d better wise up," Xi He suddenly reminded from the side, "The master spared you, not killing you, not because he thought you were still useful, but purely because of Lan Jing’s connection. If you continue to meddle in the master’s affairs, you’re really not far from death."

Threatened by Xi He’s words, Xuan Nu was angry but merely furrowed her brows and finally closed her eyes, as the situation no longer allowed her to speak.

Ye Fan continued cultivating using the refining cauldron method, showing no compassion towards Xi He or Xuan Nu. He was becoming more aggressive in his actions, aware that the Heavenly Tribulation was approaching and he couldn’t afford to cultivate slowly. He knew he had to be aggressive; otherwise, when the Heavenly Tribulation occurred, he wouldn’t be able to withstand its powers with his current cultivation.

...

...

Just when Ye Fan finished his cultivation and was absorbing power, he suddenly received a jade talisman message from Qin Mengyao, informing him that Tantai Wanrong had awakened.

"Did you help Tantai Wanrong wake up?" Ye Fan scrutinized Xi He, sensing a significant depletion in Xi He’s cultivation, likely due to exerting great effort in helping Tantai Wanrong awaken.

Xi He nodded and said, "Yes. Please forgive me for not helping Miss Tantai sooner; there were unavoidable circumstances."

Ye Fan said, "That’s okay. You were able to help her, which is commendable. But the root cause of all this stems from you. Don’t expect me to thank you. By the way, I have some questions about Lan Jing for you. Now, I need to go check on Tantai Wanrong’s situation."

"Please go ahead," Xi He didn’t try to hold Ye Fan back, knowing she didn’t have the standing to demand anything from Ye Fan. Wherever Ye Fan went, he was forming a strong barrier, preventing Pan Gu and Fu Xi from tracking Ye Fan’s whereabouts.

Ye Fan returned to Hua Hai City from the Arctic, arriving at Tantai Wanrong and Zhao Tianya’s residence. Not only were these two women present, but Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting were there as well. Upon seeing Ye Fan, they were all delighted, especially Qin Mengyao, who rushed straight into Ye Fan’s embrace.

"Brother Fan, Aunt has woken up!" Qin Mengyao said excitedly.

Ye Fan held Qin Mengyao, smiling slightly, then lifted his head to look at Zhao Tianya and Tantai Wanrong sitting on the sofa. Zhao Tianya’s face was still not looking very good, but Tantai Wanrong stood up and said, "Ye Fan, are you okay? It feels like it’s been such a long time since we last saw you."

Ye Fan sighed and said, "I’m currently overwhelmed with many trivial matters, making it hard to explain anything to you. I couldn’t help much with your awakening, perhaps only after the Heavenly Tribulation ends can I explain the previous matters to you in detail."

"It’s fine. You don’t need to explain anything to me. Tian Ya has told me everything she could. There’s nothing to worry about. I know you’re naturally concerned. Now that I’m awake and everything’s okay, you can confidently focus on your own matters," Tantai Wanrong said generously.

Ye Fan looked at Zhao Tianya, unsure of what she might have told Tantai Wanrong. But based on his understanding of Zhao Tianya, she seemed to have an unpleasant habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs.

"By the way, Ye Fan, Tian Ya has some things she wanted to tell you earlier. I don’t want to disturb you two. Yaoyao, Xiaoxiao, let’s go to the other room and leave the living room to Sister Ya and Brother Fan so they can talk privately," Tantai Wanrong seemed considerate, aiming to give Ye Fan and Zhao Tianya some alone time.

Ye Fan said, "Aunt Rong, there’s no need for that..."

Tantai Wanrong cast a glance at Ye Fan, seemingly having something to say but not wanting to utter it. Eventually, she left the space for Ye Fan and Zhao Tianya, and once they were alone in the living room, Zhao Tianya lifted her head to scrutinize Ye Fan, saying, "Are you worried I’ll tell the matters to Big Sis? Let me assure you, I’m not as despicable as you think. I won’t stoop to speaking ill behind someone else’s back. But I believe there are many things you prefer not to share with Big Sis, so you’d better not cross me!"

These words carried a hint of threat. Ye Fan, in a bad mood, said, "You can tell Aunt Rong whatever you desire, but I remind you that I can only offer limited help in this world. In less than a day, the Heavenly Tribulation will occur, and you should know what the world will look like after it. Perhaps the entire Earth won’t survive!"

"Who are you trying to scare? No matter what, the Heavenly Tribulation is your problem. Even if humanity perishes, it’s collective extinction. Ye Fan, don’t think that your words can intimidate me. I’m just reminding you, many things are not as easy as you think. I will absolutely not yield to you, nor will I let you manipulate my thoughts and destiny on some matters!" Zhao Tianya stubbornly said.

Ye Fan shrugged, saying, "Suit yourself. Apparently, Aunt Rong was unnecessary here. I’m realizing that we have less and less common ground."

"Hmph, Ye Fan, I think you’re the most incorrigible person in this world. Just wait, I’ll prove you wrong," Zhao Tianya said through gritted teeth.
