Chapter 167 Absurd Emotions

After Ye Fan left the Peak Master Hall, You Suyi was left alone in a daze, looking at the three Magic Treasures in her hand with an extremely complex expression.

"A person nearly two hundred years old actually having such thoughts, and about her own disciple's Dao Companion at that. You Suyi, you're really regressing the longer you live."

You Suyi gave a self-deprecating laugh, trying her best to suppress those fanciful thoughts deep in her heart.

Once upon a time, a slightly boyish man had barged into the White Lotus Sect Headquarters. With only a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, he actually had the audacity to try and persuade her to surrender. She didn't know whether to call him brave or foolhardy.

At that time, Ye Fan was nothing more than a Junior with some tricks in You Suyi's eyes, but what happened next left an indelible impression on her heart.

The Blood Demon Sect Revered Master personally led pursuers to kill them. Ye Fan not only lured Li Minghe away alone but even counter-killed him with his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, saving the last seeds of the White Lotus Sect lineage.

The Eight Great Sects pressured the Joyous Union Sect to hand over the White Lotus Sect remnants. At that time, You Suyi had even prepared to offer her life as an apology.

But at the final moment, it was Ye Fan who stepped forward. As a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, he withstood three moves from Dao Xuan, forcing the Eight Great Sects to return in disappointment. Since then, Ye Fan's silhouette often appeared in You Suyi's mind.

Initially, she thought it was just her appreciation for a Junior, with no other feelings mixed in.

Until the world-shaking battle at Tongtian Peak, where Ye Fan returned on the brink of death. Her heart fluttered with anxiety, and she finally realized she had truly developed ridiculous feelings.

Seeing Ye Fan's life hanging by a thread, You Suyi hesitated repeatedly before choosing to step forward, but she never expected it to end like this.

"Oh well, it was a feeling that shouldn't have existed anyway."

You Suyi sighed softly and handed over the affairs of the White Lotus Peak lineage to other Elders.

She chose to enter secluded meditation. It wouldn't be too late to come out once she had forgotten this relationship.

Ye Fan had no idea what You Suyi was thinking. He pushed those messy thoughts to the back of his mind, treating it as nothing more than a joke.

Having finally resolved the relationship between Murong Wan and Su Ningxue, he didn't want to trip over the same trouble twice.

Ye Fan returned to the Grotto-heaven. Murong Wan and You Tan had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ye Fan return, both women breathed a sigh of relief, clearly worried that the Sect Head would make things difficult for him.

"Don't worry, it's already settled."

Seeing this, You Tan quietly slipped back into her room, leaving Ye Fan and Murong Wan some time alone.

When only the two of them were left, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat awkward. After a while, they both spoke almost simultaneously.

"About Revered Master..."

"About Revered Master..."

Both were stunned for a moment, and finally, Murong Wan broke the ice.

"Although Revered Master seems old-fashioned and strict, she's actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She's actually a very easy person to get along with."

"This time, Revered Master sacrificed too much to save you. You must not let her down."

Murong Wan bit her vermilion lips, her pretty face as red as an apple. She didn't know how much mental preparation she had done to say these words.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Fan almost burst out laughing. He suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended not to understand.

"Don't worry, I will serve Revered Master diligently in the future and be a responsible and dutiful disciple," Ye Fan deliberately played dumb.

"Fool, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Ye Fan blinked and asked.

"Of course it's... it's..."

Murong Wan was stunned, and seeing Ye Fan's half-smiling expression, she suddenly understood something. Her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

"Are you playing with me?!"

"Am I?" Ye Fan asked, feigning confusion.

"You... you're asking for it!"

Murong Wan pounced into Ye Fan's arms like she was acting spoiled, intending to hit him.

Not having seen her for many days, Murong Wan seemed to have become even more moving. Her snowy skin was so delicate it seemed it would break at a touch.

And her pretty face was constantly flushed.

"Don't... go find You Tan... she's been waiting for you for a long time..."

"It's no matter. You know my capabilities," Ye Fan said, suppressing a smile.

"You..."

Before Murong Wan could say anything else, Ye Fan had already stripped off his little lamb disguise.

Hearing the strange noises coming from the next room, You Tan felt her whole body heating up. She secretly cursed Ye Fan for not even using a Concealment Formation, clearly doing it on purpose to tease her.

At first, You Tan could still suppress the impulse in her heart, but her gaze became increasingly blurred.

Not until the sounds in the next room gradually subsided did You Tan wake up as if from a dream and barely managed to get up.

Then, Ye Fan barged straight into the room.

"You Tan, what are you doing?"

Looking at Ye Fan's half-smiling expression, You Tan suddenly panicked.

Ye Fan subconsciously wanted to look down.

"Don't look!"

"Look at what?" Ye Fan asked with some surprise.

"I don't care! Anyway, you're not allowed to look!"

"Fine, if I don't look, then I'll leave everything to you," Ye Fan said, suppressing a smile.

"Let you see the new tricks this big sister has learned."

...

She was thanking her for setting up this scheme; otherwise, he wouldn't have known when the relationship between him and Su Ningxue could have been kept secret.

"Hehe, I could tell long ago that the relationship between you Revered Master and disciple wasn't normal. I guess I was right. Tell me, when did you two hook up?"

Ye Fan helplessly explained the process of how he and Su Ningxue met, and only then did You Tan understand the cause and effect.

"I didn't expect there were so many things involved. I thought someone's animalistic nature had erupted and he'd forced himself on his Revered Master," You Tan said, suppressing a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Fan showed a speechless expression. He was only at the Qi Refining Realm back then. If he really had the ability to force Su Ningxue, that would have been truly bizarre.

"If you hadn't intervened, I don't know what would have happened between me, Su Ningxue, and Murong Wan."

"Hehe, then how do you plan to reward me?"

You Tan's laughter was soul-stirring.

In order to recover his cultivation as soon as possible...

In the end, she even ran to find Murong Wan for help, barely managing to stabilize the situation.
