Chapter 778 - 689: Meet the Soldier with the General, Meet the Water with the Earth

Chapter 778: Chapter 689: Meet the Soldier with the General, Meet the Water with the Earth

Night had fallen, street lamps just started glowing, the streets bustling with traffic, and the tall buildings on both sides were brightly lit, exceptionally conspicuous; in contrast, the few remaining ancient buildings were hardly visible.

At some point, the scent of modernization began to ravage the foundation of this ancient city, like a brute defiling a maiden, without any mercy.

Ye Fan, riding on a flying shuttle and holding Su Liuli’s hand, came to the skies above Yanjing City. Looking down at the city, he felt a surge of emotions.

Initially, the first time he came to Yanjing City with Chu Ji to attend an auction, he was ridiculed by Ye Long, and upon entering the Ye Family, he faced unprecedented humiliation, almost being driven out.

That day, unlike Ling Yun who left in frustration years ago, he stirred up a huge commotion in the Ye Family, and ultimately, the Old Master Ye used him as a whetstone to train the Ye Family’s youths. He unapologetically destroyed Ye Long’s dantian, disabled Ye Long’s entire cultivation, and also gave his own half-brother from a different mother, Ye Cang, a lesson.

In addition, he clashed with those so-called uncles and aunts, slapping them repeatedly, to seek justice for the grievances his mother had suffered.

Latterly, he reconciled with the Old Master Ye, becoming the savior of the Ye Family—at the most difficult time for the Ye Family, by his own strength, he helped Old Master Ye extend his life, severely weakened the Bai Family, and made his father, Ye Wenhao, the sole successor!

"What’s wrong?"

Su Liuli noticed Ye Fan’s unusual demeanor and couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s nothing, I just suddenly recalled some things."

Ye Fan regained his composure and proposed, "Situ Ruoshui has been taken as a disciple by Zhao Heavenly Master, a master of magic at the Yanhuang Organization. She’s now cultivating in the West Mountain Secret Base of the Yanhuang Organization. Shall we go find her first?"

"Sure!"

Su Liuli nodded, her face, which was initially a bit somber, now showed a hint of excitement.

Situ Ruoshui was like a sister to her, and ever since she followed Bodhi Wu Yin on the path of cultivation, the two had only met once at the Qing bang competition and had missed each other dearly.

"Who dares to openly intrude into the Yanhuang Organization’s secret base?"

Shortly after, when Ye Fan and Su Liuli flew to the Yanhuang Organization’s West Mountain Secret Base, a stern voice thundered through the base’s airspace.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure soared into the air, swiftly rushing towards Ye Fan and Su Liuli.

Whoosh!

Simultaneously, on the cultivation square of the base, the young members of the Yanhuang Organization all widened their eyes, looking towards the sky, seemingly eager to see who had the audacity to brazenly enter the airspace of the Yanhuang Organization’s secret base.

"Master Zhao, I am here to find Ruoshui,"

Upon spotting the approaching figure, Ye Fan, recognizing that it was Situ Ruoshui’s master, Zhao Heavenly Master, quickly clasped his hands in salute and stated his purpose.

"It’s you..."

Seeing Ye Fan, Zhao Heavenly Master was first stunned, his anger dissipated, but he intentionally kept a stern face, staring at Ye Fan as if guarding against a thief, "Ruoshui is currently in closed-door cultivation, why seek her out?"

"Master Zhao, I am Ruoshui’s sister; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her, and I wish to spend some time with her." This time, without waiting for Ye Fan to speak, Su Liuli couldn’t help but interject.

"Spend some time?"

Zhao Heavenly Master glanced at Su Liuli, then locked his gaze on Ye Fan, as if trying to see through him, "Young man, are you sure you’re just here to spend time?"

"Master Zhao, are you worried that I might take Ruoshui away?" Seeing this, Ye Fan, realizing something, had a flash of insight.

"Nonsense! How could Ruoshui leave with you without my permission? I was just afraid you would disturb her cultivation..."

Heavenly Master Zhao’s thoughts were seen through, and a flicker of embarrassment crossed his face before he spoke earnestly.

However—

Before he could finish his sentence, a voice full of surprise rang out from below.

"Big brother, Sister Liuli, is that you?"

Situ Ruoshui, dressed in the attire of the Yanhuang Organization, appeared at the entrance of a building, calling out excitedly.

Whoosh!

Startled by Situ Ruoshui’s words, Heavenly Master Zhao’s expression changed dramatically, and he could no longer maintain his pretense.

He quickly set up a soundproof array and did a complete 180 in attitude, looking eagerly at Ye Fan and pleading, "Young man, Ruoshui is a Mental Body, a rare find in a century. She has just formally begun her cultivation journey and cannot afford to waste golden time. Please let her stay here to continue her cultivation."

"Don’t worry, Master Zhao, we really are just here to see Ruoshui."

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, then added, seeing that Heavenly Master Zhao was still uneasy, "Master Yan has already informed me that I’ll be going to Australia in a few days to slay a mutant beast, so even if I wanted to take Ruoshui away, I wouldn’t have the opportunity."

"Ah, that’s right! Ruoshui is only at the Innate Great Success Realm so far; she can’t go to slay mutant beasts!"

Hearing this from Ye Fan, Heavenly Master Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart settling down as he spoke with a smile.

Ye Fan smiled and said no more, leading Su Liuli, along with Heavenly Master Zhao, down towards the ground.

"You little brats, this is Ye Fan, who overturned the Japan Cultivation World and fiercely beat Little Japan, making waves among the younger generation! You all should learn from him!"

As he dived, Heavenly Master Zhao shouted loudly, it was unclear whether he was inspiring the young members of the Yanhuang Organization or subtly flattering Ye Fan, to curry favor and ensure that Ye Fan wouldn’t consider taking Situ Ruoshui away.

Whir—

As soon as Heavenly Master Zhao spoke, the crowd below became restless, and the young members of the Yanhuang Organization, as if injected with adrenaline, began discussing animatedly.

"So that’s Huaxia’s young supreme, Ye Fan?"

"He can fly, has he broken through to the Gang Qi Great Success Realm?"

"No, it is said that he hasn’t even broken through the Gang Qi Introduction Realm. He can fly because he has a Flying Artifact, called the Flying Shuttle, which was given to him as a prize in the Qing bang competition, personally awarded by the leader."

"He hasn’t even broken through the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, how could he overturn the Japan Cultivation World and shake the global cultivation world’s younger generation??"

...

On the Cultivation Square, those young Yanhuang Organization members discussed amongst themselves, all curious about how Ye Fan had achieved all this.

Regarding this, Heavenly Master Zhao did not speak out to explain, nor did Ye Fan boast about himself; they directly flew toward Situ Ruoshui.

"Ruoshui!"

Before even landing, Su Liuli couldn’t help calling out to Situ Ruoshui, then broke free from Ye Fan’s grasp, leaping up and rushing towards Situ Ruoshui.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing Su Liuli’s gesture, Situ Ruoshui was initially surprised, a hint of loneliness and envy flashing through her eyes, which was soon replaced by excitement. She quickly stepped toward Su Liuli, "Sister Liuli!"

Soon, the two women embraced each other, both visibly happy.

"Big brother!"

After the hug, Situ Ruoshui excitedly rushed towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan smiled and opened his arms to embrace Situ Ruoshui, comforting her like a brother would a sister, gently stroking her head as he asked, "Are you getting used to it here?"

"It’s okay, but the cultivation is a bit dull, oh! Master spends all day making me practice," Situ Ruoshui complained, pouting.

"My little ancestor, you are a mental body seen once in hundreds, if not thousands of years. You’ve already missed the best period for cultivation. If you don’t seize the time to practice, wouldn’t that be a waste of heaven’s gifts?" Heavenly Master Zhao was almost on the verge of tears.

"I don’t want to practice anymore. I want to go with big brother and Sister Liuli!" Situ Ruoshui said, puffing her cheeks, seeming to harbor a deep grievance.

Whoosh!

Heavenly Master Zhao’s expression changed, then he stared eagerly at Ye Fan, as if to say: Kid, you just agreed to it, and I even flattered you, you can’t go back on your word!

"——"

Ye Fan was speechless, but he knew that staying with Heavenly Master Zhao was the best choice for Situ Ruoshui; hence, he nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing this, Heavenly Master Zhao was overjoyed and with a bright smile he said, "Ruoshui, you go with Xiao Fan and the others."

Hmm?!

Seeing Heavenly Master Zhao’s joyful smile and hearing his unusual words, Situ Ruoshui was puzzled.

"Ruoshui, let’s go!"

Ye Fan did not clear her confusion but simply smiled and gently touched her head.

As his words fell, Ye Fan wasted no more words, pulled Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui by the hand, and amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the younger members of the Yanhuang Organization, they stepped onto the flying shuttle, soaring into the air, and leaving the base.

Minutes later, Ye Fan, with Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui, landed at the entrance of a private club.

This private club was situated right across the famous Hong Ding Club, where the front was parked with various luxury and sports cars, while the former was starkly empty.

"Is that Ye Family’s Ye Fan?!"

At the entrance of the Hong Ding Club, several young prodigals stepping out of their cars, were initially stunned on seeing Ye Fan descending with Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui from the sky. Soon after, one of them recognized Ye Fan and exclaimed.

"It’s him!"

"I never thought we’d see him here!"

"Shh, don’t let him hear you!"

"Hehe, you think too much. With his status, identity, and power today, he won’t stoop to our level—we’re just ants he could crush effortlessly!"

After recognizing Ye Fan, members of the Hong Ding Club discussed one after another, and eventually, they all fell silent, filled with mixed emotions.

There was a time when they thought as an illegitimate child, Ye Fan was just a blemish of the Ye Family, unworthy to challenge Young Master Bai of the Bai Family or even stand against the Hong Ding Club!

But now, Bai Luo was still in the Yanhuang Organization’s secret prison, the Bai Family had fallen, and the Hong Ding Club no longer held its former sway!

All this, thanks to Ye Fan!

As the last prodigal mentioned, Ye Fan nowadays really couldn’t be bothered to deal with these prodigals.

He noticed the gaze of these prodigals and heard their discussion, but he didn’t care, simply leading Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui into the private club.

The entire club, except for the staff, was empty, without a sight of any guests.

All this because the backer of this private club, Chu Ji, chose to close down for the day for today’s gathering.

"Beep beep..."

The moment Ye Fan entered the foyer with Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui, his special communicator on his wrist started ringing.

Ye Fan raised his wrist and saw it was a call from Lv Zhan.

"Ye Zi, are you going to Australia?"

As soon as the call connected, Lv Zhan asked straightforwardly.

"Going."

"How about we group up? When are you planning to leave?" Lv Zhan asked excitedly upon hearing the answer.

"I’ll stay in Yanjing for two days before going," Ye Fan thought for a moment before giving a reply. He hadn’t seen Ye Wenhao and Old Master Ye for a long time. Naturally, since he had returned, he wanted to see them.

"I see, I’ll head there first, waiting for you in Australia. It’s perfect to scout ahead and see the situation," Lv Zhan said after pondering for a bit.

"Scout ahead? Doesn’t the Yanhuang Organization have specific intelligence?" Ye Fan was puzzled.

"There’s intelligence regarding mutant beasts, but according to the information our Lv Family spies got, not only will this event be attended by cultivation geniuses from all major alliances globally, but the American Cultivators Alliance, European Cultivator Alliance, and Tianzhu Cultivator Alliance are very likely to plan something against you!"

Lv Zhan explained, "What I mean by scouting ahead is to help you clarify the situation."

"It’s something I expected; Brother Lv, you don’t need to investigate," Ye Fan was not only unsurprised but actually quite calm.

"Why?" Lv Zhan asked, puzzled.

"Enemies will block the way, I’ll stand firm; if danger arises, I’ll bury it. For every one that comes, I’ll slay one; for every pair that comes, I’ll slay both!"

Ye Fan squinted, a lethal intent visible in his eyes, "I will use them as whetstones, until the Three Great Alliances dare not send anyone against me!"
