Chapter 1863: Chapter 1859: The Responsibility in My Heart
Xi He came to the second secret realm to search for Ye Fan, and it wasn’t the first time. In previous visits, she didn’t disturb Zhao Tianya or Tantai Wanrong, but this time she had to because she truly couldn’t find any trace of Ye Fan’s presence.
She didn’t know that Ye Fan was deliberately avoiding her; she only knew that she couldn’t let any clues about Ye Fan slip by, so she came to Tantai Wanrong and Zhao Tianya to search for clues.
"Ye Fan has not been here!" Tantai Wanrong reiterated, "If Ye Fan had been here, we wouldn’t be so worried. Now that Ye Fan has left the Pan Gu secret realm, how long until he returns? How many clues do you have about him now? Tell us everything at once; we are also very worried about his safety."
Xi He shook her head and said, "If I knew, I would definitely tell you, but unfortunately, I don’t know. The master to me is like the source of life; if the master dies, I will die with him. I won’t lie in front of you because it has no meaning for me! Even if the master is fine now, he can’t enter the Pan Gu secret realm, let alone the second secret realm..."
Zhao Tianya said, "Then can you take us out of the second secret realm, even the first secret realm, to meet him!"
"I don’t have that ability!" Xi He replied, "The void guarding the second secret realm is very strong; I can barely come over alone. Only the elemental power in the master’s body can bring many people over at once; his cultivation far surpasses mine. You should just wait here for him peacefully now!"
After speaking, Xi He showed signs of wanting to leave, and Zhao Tianya said, "Don’t leave yet, we have many questions to ask!"
"Regarding the master’s matters, I know nothing. If you want to ask about his injuries, I cannot disclose anything!" Xi He replied coldly.
Zhao Tianya, gritting her teeth, with some resentment towards Xi He, said, "Haven’t you thought that Ye Fan might be in trouble, or even might have died?"
"I said, my life is closely linked to the master’s. If he were in trouble, I would definitely know because it would mean my life would be over too. The fact that you can still see me indicates the master is at least not dead, but how much cultivation strength he has left, whether he’s safe, or even if he still has freedom, I do not know!" Xi He finished speaking, and her body gradually became transparent, causing Zhao Tianya to realize Xi He was going to disappear. She tried to grab Xi He, but Xi He’s body vanished like an image, disappearing without a trace.
Zhao Tianya shouted angrily, "So infuriating, he didn’t come himself, instead he sends a woman to babble nonsense, thinking that would make me believe he’s dead and never coming back, leaving us here to become widows?"
"You suspect that Ye Fan hasn’t disappeared at all and just sent someone to deceive you?" Tantai Wanrong looked at Zhao Tianya incredulously.
"Can’t he do such a thing? Ye Fan acts ruthlessly; he has done many things before that left me cold-hearted. I think he could do such a thing too, don’t you think my words make sense, sister?" Zhao Tianya responded arrogantly.
Tantai Wanrong shook her head and said, "It’s not your first day knowing Ye Fan; there’s affection between you. Although some things he did might not align with your wishes, they were to protect you. What you’re saying now is truly discouraging. Tian Ya, you must understand that Ye Fan actually loves you, he’s just troubled by something now. If you don’t want to forgive him, that’s your choice, but at least don’t malign him in front of his women, it will make you seem incompetent and ruin Ye Fan’s reputation!"
"So you’re admitting that you’re Ye Fan’s woman?" Zhao Tianya said somewhat angrily.
"I didn’t say that, don’t twist my words. I just want Ye Fan to return safely, and if he truly can come back, maybe I’ll agree to be his woman directly!" Tantai Wanrong replied, "This is the longest time I’ve been away from him. During this time, I’ve thought about many things and started to understand that the most important thing in life is to seize the moment and enjoy oneself; doing too much has no real meaning!"
Zhao Tianya shook her head and said, "That’s your view; don’t use it to influence me. I just hate him now; every part about him is bad. Sister, if you continue defending Ye Fan, you’re my enemy!"
Perhaps due to the influence of being imprisoned in an illusion for hundreds of thousands of years, Zhao Tianya had a lot of rough elements in her subconscious. She was also trying to control her emotions but found it hard to manage them many times.
After Zhao Tianya left, Tantai Wanrong sighed softly, "Ye Fan, I hope you can come back soon. If I see you again, I will express my feelings to you. At that time, I am willing to be your woman, even if it’s just once; I will have no regrets in my heart. This is something you deserve."
...
...
At this moment, Ye Fan was unable to hear Tantai Wanrong’s call; he was already thinking about leaving the Great Cold Gate.
Following his thoughts, he modified the physiques of several female disciples of the Great Cold Gate, but discovered this change did not bring them an affinity for Spiritual Energy; these women still couldn’t advance beyond the highest bottleneck of cultivation.
"Young Hero Ye, since you’re here, please help our Great Cold Gate; otherwise, we really don’t know how to save our disciples!" Zhu Nian stood before Ye Fan, speaking in a pleading tone.
Ming Ye laughed coldly, "Why, just because your Great Cold Gate has produced some female disciples, you want to coerce Ye Fan? What if Ye Fan doesn’t want to help you, what can you do? Ye Fan has already shown utmost benevolence and righteousness to you!"
Zhu Nian glared at Ming Ye and turned to Ye Fan, "Young Hero Ye, your cultivation has reached the pinnacle, and so has your proficiency. Apart from your insight, there’s no chance anyone else could save our Great Cold Gate..."
Ye Fan replied coldly, "I don’t have time to deal with these matters right now, I have to take care of my own affairs. Once I’ve finished, I will come back to help you; maybe then I’ll guide you into the Pan Gu secret realm... In short, I won’t abandon you!"
"Why do you let these women coerce you?" Ming Ye asked, confused, "These people are clearly trying to use you, do you just enjoy being used?"
Ye Fan said, "It’s not for anything else, but for a sense of responsibility. To me, the matters of the entire cultivation world are within my concern, it’s my duty!"
