Chapter 2061 - 2057: What Do You Take Me For
Mo Xiaoyan spared no effort to speak ill of Ye Fan in front of Lu Xiaoman, and she seemed to revel in it, leaving Lu Xiaoman feeling helpless. She didn’t know how to reprimand her immature sister.
She thought about the promise she made to Ye Fan before, and still felt uneasy. She wasn’t sure if she could accept letting her sister become Ye Fan’s woman. She also felt a bit aggrieved, as ultimately, her sister’s actions never fully earned her trust. This sister was also a symbol of immaturity and willfulness in her heart.
"Sister, have you found a way to contact brother-in-law?" Mo Xiaoyan asked.
"No." Lu Xiaoman shook her head and said, "Do you think your brother-in-law is just doing something simple on Earth now? The major things he has to do are beyond our imagination, and I try not to disturb him. But he did say, if you wake up, notify him immediately. However, as to how to notify him, I’m still not very clear."
"Oh sister, how foolish are you really? You even believe brother-in-law’s nonsense. Actually, he just wants you to focus on taking care of me. Do you think he would really care enough to help me awaken? As for notifying him after waking up, if he were sincere, he would have already left a way to contact him that you would know about..."
Mo Xiaoyan stopped mid-sentence because she noticed someone had already appeared in front of her, behind Lu Xiaoman. That person was indeed Ye Fan.
But she still couldn’t be sure if it was Ye Fan, as someone might be impersonating him. Given her current abilities and experience, she was unable to determine if the person before her was real or fake.
"Ye Fan?" Lu Xiaoman also detected Ye Fan’s arrival, turned around, and asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan said, "Yes. I know Xiaoyan woke up, so I came to see her condition... As for this person, she’s Lan Jing, and I brought her along... she’s also a chosen one."
This time, Ye Fan wasn’t alone; besides bringing Lan Jing, he also brought the seventh and eighth small crystals. Because Ye Fan knew Mo Xiaoyan had the ability to communicate with spirits, he wanted Mo Xiaoyan to act as a link to communicate with the small crystals.
Mo Xiaoyan didn’t think much upon seeing Ye Fan and was ready to throw a tantrum. But upon learning that another person, Lan Jing, also a chosen one, was present, she became furious.
Mo Xiaoyan said, "Brother-in-law is truly considerate, coming to see his little sister-in-law and bringing another woman. What, are you trying to show off in front of me and sister?"
"Xiaoyan, what are you talking about?" Lu Xiaoman appeared very upset and said.
"What did I say? I’m just speaking the truth; sometimes truth is hard to hear. Sister, look at what brother-in-law is doing now. He actually brought other women in front of us. Is this his idea of respect for you and me? Does he think our sisterhood is easy to bully and that he can flaunt having other women in front of us?" Mo Xiaoyan still seemed very angry as she spoke.
Lan Jing appeared very innocent since she had absolutely no idea what was happening. Ye Fan smiled wryly and said, "I’ve already explained Lan Jing’s identity to you. She’s a chosen one and will be playing her part in the impending celestial trial to save all beings. Xiaoyan, there’s no need to be so hostile to her. She won’t harm you."
"Well, that’s uncertain, isn’t it? You know someone’s face but not their heart, right? Brother-in-law, surely you understand this principle? Maybe she’s some fox spirit reincarnated, coming to your side to use you, making you believe she’s a chosen one?" Mo Xiaoyan retorted sarcastically.
Lan Jing also sensed the girl’s hostility toward her and said, "Miss, this doesn’t seem to be the first time we’ve met, and you don’t need to imagine me as so terrible. I won’t harm you. Ye Fan said you have the ability to communicate with ghosts and spirits. You can see and communicate with the spirits. Now, several small crystals within Ye Fan have been suppressed, and only you might be able to communicate with those small crystals... That’s how you can help activate Ye Fan’s powers."
Lu Xiaoman walked over and looked at Ye Fan, saying, "Ye Fan, is this why you came?"
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded and said, "I found out Xiaoyan woke up almost immediately, but at the time, I was still searching for someone crucial to the celestial trial, so I couldn’t come to meet her right away. After I went to find Lan Jing, I came to meet you!"
"Xiaoyan, did you hear what your brother-in-law said? Please see if you can help him! Although I don’t really understand what your brother-in-law is talking about, since you can communicate with those gods and spirits, you should understand what he’s saying!" Lu Xiaoman said.
Mo Xiaoyan pouted and said, "I don’t care about the celestial trial or the chosen one. Right now, all I know is that brother-in-law has ulterior motives toward me. You haven’t come back because you care about me, but because there’s something about me that you can use. So why would you want me to help you? What do you take me for?"
Ye Fan felt apologetic and said, "Xiaoyan, I did indeed act poorly in some ways, but we can’t ignore that it is a very critical time now, so we shouldn’t be so childish and capricious!"
"Hmph, you and my sister both think I’m capricious, don’t you? Fine, since you both think so, I’ll continue being capricious and go all out with it! How about that?" Mo Xiaoyan said, "I don’t want to help you now. Even if I could help, I wouldn’t. And besides, I can’t help right now. You can take this woman and leave. If you, sister, think this person is more important to you, you can go with him as well. Henceforth, I, Mo Xiaoyan, have nothing to do with you both!"
Lu Xiaoman angrily said, "You silly girl, what are you saying? We’re sisters, surely you don’t need to continue arguing about this? Your brother-in-law has to confront the celestial trial, so he’s very busy. Otherwise, do you think he wouldn’t care about you?"
At this moment, Lu Xiaoman also seemed a bit angry, and she was completely speechless towards her sister.
"Before, I even told your brother-in-law to fulfill your wish if you woke up, to let you be with him... Now, seeing you act so immature, I should take back my promise because you clearly still lack the responsibility to handle such matters. You’re always like a little girl, being capricious for the sake of being capricious. By doing this, do you think you’re being fair to your brother-in-law or the whole world?" Lu Xiaoman reprimanded.
