Chapter 1911: Chapter 1907: Unreasonable
Nuwa’s intention to kill Ye Fan hasn’t changed, nor has her intention to kill the women around him.
Ye Fan continues to search for Li Zhaojun and Min Shang’s whereabouts in the Immortal realm, but hasn’t found any leads. At this moment, Master Mingye also arrives in the Immortal realm, her familiarity with it clearly surpassing Ye Fan’s.
"Ye Fan, I think you should stop forcing yourself. You think I imprisoned your women, but the person who really did is far more powerful than me," said Master Mingye. "From the start, I realized I was being used. I once thought of helping you, but such help is futile. In my view, it’s best for you to sever your emotions to achieve the peak. Seeking your women is pointless when you could find physical comfort without emotional attachments... That’s the best outcome for you!"
Ye Fan says nothing; in a certain sense, he cannot deny the logic in Master Mingye’s words.
However, Ye Fan is unwilling to think about losing Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman and the others. He is deeply attached to the women around him. This attachment drives him, as he knows what his ultimate goal is—to protect his closest people.
"It seems talking to you is useless, Ye Fan. The Immortal realm is only so big; you’ve searched everywhere you can. Killing those hidden Immortals still won’t solve anything!" Master Mingye continues to persuade. "Your enemies are not us who have just reached the Immortal level, nor those human cultivators. Your true enemies are the ancient beings, especially those whose cultivation you cannot surpass... Blaming these people will do you no good. Killing us only makes heavenly tribulations more intense. Every cultivator is actually your ally against these tribulations."
Ye Fan regards Master Mingye, "Do you think I don’t kill you because I have some compassion left, or because you are still valuable?"
"That’s not my meaning; I just want to remind you that even if the women you love are in trouble, that is a tribulation destined in your fate. These women are obstacles on your path of cultivation, obstacles you must remove!" said Master Mingye.
Ye Fan retorted, "You’re the obstacle. I must kill you to prove my actions are right!"
Ye Fan struck with a palm, directly hitting Master Mingye’s energy core. She was sent flying several hundred meters, and upon landing appeared utterly collapsed, demonstrating Ye Fan’s inner fury. Towards a woman targeting him, he had no need to show mercy.
Master Mingye coughed blood and said, "Ye Fan, your heart is cruel. You’re like this even with your women, so why not with your enemies? Why can’t you gather your courage to kill Pan Gu and Fu Xi, and Nuwa, along with so many ancient cultivators? Then you would dictate the order, instead of resigning to fate or blaming the heavens."
Ye Fan walked over to Master Mingye, and his gaze held a hint of red, instilling a bit of fear in her heart.
"Who I want to kill or deal with is my own affair, I don’t require your interference. You are merely an insignificant woman by my side... I feel no emotion towards you, don’t expect any pity from me!"
After saying this, Ye Fan vanished from the Immortal realm. Master Mingye tried to leave, but found herself utterly drained, unable to stand without great pain, unable to gather immortal energy.

Ye Fan returned to Earth and stood before Zhao Tianya.
"...Ye Fan, you’re back? What about Big Sister? Didn’t you find her?" Zhao Tianya hurriedly asked.
Ye Fan said, "What if I knew where she is, and that she was in danger, but I didn’t rescue her?"
Zhao Tianya was startled and then shook her head, "You’re not that kind of person. If you knew Big Sister was in danger, you would rescue her without hesitation. That’s why she’s so fond of you; she knows in your heart, those important women are irreplaceable!"
Ye Fan shook his head, "Maybe I’m disappointing you. I do know her whereabouts, but I didn’t save her because someone convinced me... This person said every woman around me could be a chosen one. I want to verify this."
Zhao Tianya stood up, angrily shouting, "Ye Fan, are you crazy? Do you understand what you’re doing? You let Big Sister bear danger alone for some ridiculous chosen one? Who is this chosen one? Someone bringing tribulations, or some ancient being you mentioned... Ye Fan, you’re unbelievable!"
"You can reprimand me as you like, but I must remind you, I’m rescuing Aunt Rong not because she loves me, or I love her... I feel it’s a responsibility. I won’t let anything happen to you all, but if I’ve done something wrong... well, it won’t matter... I just want to protect humanity, protect you all, and I know Aunt Rong won’t face any fatal danger!"
Ye Fan spoke without much confidence, knowing leaving Tantai Wanrong with Xi He was harmful.
"Ye Fan, you can’t impose your plans on us. We’re not yours!" Zhao Tianya said, "You’re married to Li Zhaojun. We only have unclear relationships with you; we have no obligation to accompany your madness. You’re tasked with saving from tribulations—that’s your mission. We just want peace, without such burden. If you must impose it, I think you’re an overbearing tyrant, like an emperor ignoring others’ opinions, solely acting on your own ideas. You’re unreasonable!"
"Say whatever you want, Tianya, but my feelings for you have never changed. Yet, many things can’t be solved with feelings. You’ve done things I couldn’t accept. Now it’s reached this point; I’m honest with you. Even if you hate me, I’ll keep you near. Even if you continue to scold me, I won’t let you go!"
After speaking, Ye Fan left Zhao Tianya’s residence, leaving her alone with her anger.
