Chapter 864: Chapter 860 Ye Fan Was Calculated

The divide between immortals and mortals.

Seeing these four words, Ye Fan’s heart sank to the bottom?

Could it be that Zhao Jun has completely severed all emotions, single-mindedly pursuing the elusive immortal path?

No, it can’t be! Zhao Jun clearly doesn’t want to turn herself into a cold, emotionless puppet! Is she being controlled by the demonic Jade Maiden Heart Scripture?!

Zhao Jun, why didn’t you wait for me? I’ve already started practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill; just give me another month, and I can restore your personality!

Why?!

Ye Fan shouted in his heart unwillingly, suddenly turning around, almost jumping directly from the second-floor stairs.

Aunt Shao, who hadn’t left the first-floor hall, screamed in fright as Ye Fan suddenly jumped down from upstairs. When she saw Ye Fan transform into a blurred afterimage and a gust of wind approaching, Ye Fan had already appeared in front of her like a phantom.

“Tell me, what did my wife do before she left?!” Ye Fan asked sternly.

Aunt Shao was so scared by Ye Fan’s irresistible aura that her face turned pale like paper. She retreated repeatedly, trembling all over, almost unable to speak, “I-I don’t know. Please, don’t kill me…”

Before she finished speaking, a smell of urine spread out.

Ye Fan saw that Aunt Shao was scared out of her wits and only then realized he had frightened her.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the killing intent all over his body, and said, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t harm you. But you must seriously answer my questions now.”

Although he knew he was wrong to scare someone unrelated, he was in no mood to care about that now.

“Y-yes…” Aunt Shao answered tremblingly.

Ye Fan forced himself to slow his tone and asked, “When my wife asked you to give me the letter, what did she say?”

“She… she didn’t say anything.” Aunt Shao said with a trembling voice, “She just gave me a letter, asked me to wait for you to come back and give it to you, and then she left. You know, since the end of last year, Miss Li has been quiet and rarely talked to me. I didn’t expect her to leave for so long either.”

“Before she handed you the letter, what was she doing?” Ye Fan immediately asked again.

Aunt Shao said, “I don’t know. She’s always been upstairs, hardly letting me go up. I remembered, two days before she left, she went out once, probably to the company. I don’t know anything else.”

Ye Fan took a deep breath and understood that Aunt Shao was just an outsider and didn’t know much.

He thought of the existence of Pan Gu’s mystical realm and guessed that Li Zhaojun was most likely taken there by Qing Lian.

“Mr. Ye, can I leave now?” Aunt Shao asked fearfully.

Ye Fan snapped back and said, “Sorry, I lost control of my emotions earlier and scared you.”

As he spoke, he took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of money, and stuffed it into Aunt Shao’s hand, then said, “This money is for your fright. I will call you in a few days to settle your salary.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ye.” Aunt Shao said and hurriedly turned to leave.

Ye Fan reminded her, “You should change your clothes before you go. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you; this is a society governed by law.”

After speaking, he didn’t care how Aunt Shao reacted and returned directly to the second floor.

Back on the second floor, Ye Fan went through Li Zhaojun’s bedroom and practice room but found nothing left behind.

Sitting on the sofa in the second-floor living room, Ye Fan tried to calm himself down, then took out his phone and dialed the number on the note Li Zhaojun left.

The phone was quickly connected, and a middle-aged man’s voice came from the phone: “Hello, I am Zhang Tianyou, a senior lawyer at Honest Law Firm. Are you Mr. Ye Fan?”

“You know me?” Ye Fan’s gaze sharpened as he asked.

The other party said, “That’s right. Your wife, Ms. Li Zhaojun, gave me your phone number. She completed the property transfer procedures with me. She asked me to invite you to handle the property transfer procedures when you take the initiative to call me. I wonder when you would be convenient to discuss this in person?”

“It’s too sudden; I haven’t arranged the time yet. I’ll contact you when I’m available,” Ye Fan said.

After ending the call, Ye Fan leaned powerlessly against the back of the sofa.

Li Zhaojun has arranged for a property transfer; she is determined to leave.

However, he still harbored a sliver of hope that Li Zhaojun hadn’t entered Pan Gu’s mystical realm yet.

So he picked up his phone again, found Zhuo Junwu’s number, and dialed it.

Not long after, the call was connected, and Zhuo Junwu asked, “Fan, what’s the matter?”

“Master, Zhao Jun has left. Can you help me contact Uncle Master Qing Lian?” Ye Fan said.

Zhuo Junwu wasn’t surprised. In fact, he was the one who informed Qing Lian to take Li Zhaojun into Pan Gu’s mystical realm.

Practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill could indeed restore Li Zhaojun’s personality, but as Zhuo Junwu was Ye Fan’s master and had watched him grow up, how could he not know that Ye Fan was attached to the mundane and had little interest in cultivation?

If Ye Fan successfully restores Li Zhaojun’s personality and is later persuaded to continue on the path of immortality, it would be difficult.

Even if Ye Fan realizes the benefits of cultivation in the future and begins seriously practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill, too much time would have been wasted, affecting future achievements.

To ensure no mistakes, he called Qing Lian to take Li Zhaojun into Pan Gu’s mystical realm as Ye Fan was about to enter the transformation stage. The purpose was to force Ye Fan to enter Pan Gu’s mystical realm to find Li Zhaojun.

Similarly, Qing Lian worried that Li Zhaojun would stop practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture after her personality was restored. A Taiyin body’s match with a Pure Yang body was equally hard to find, so she quickly persuaded Li Zhaojun to let go of mundane thoughts and follow her into the land of genuine cultivation, Pan Gu’s mystical realm.

Only to hear Zhuo Junwu feign ignorance and ask, “Your wife left? What do you mean, she left? You’re not making any sense.”

“Zhao Jun has left her usual residence and hasn’t returned for more than ten days. I suspect she’s already left Earth and entered Pan Gu’s mystical realm,” Ye Fan reiterated, “I want to ask if you could immediately help me contact Uncle Master Qing Lian to see if she’s still on Earth.”

“Oh. Alright, hold on. I’ll call Qing Lian for you,” Zhuo Junwu replied and then hung up the phone.

After two or three minutes, the phone rang, and Ye Fan immediately picked it up, eagerly hoping: “Master, did you get in touch with Uncle Master Qing Lian?”

“Alas, I couldn’t reach her; it’s almost certain she’s entered Pan Gu’s mystical realm,” Zhuo Junwu replied with feigned regret.

Ye Fan listened, and his heart sank to the bottom, remaining silent for a long time.

Zhuo Junwu comforted, “Fan, don’t worry too much.”

He wanted to remind Ye Fan to enter Pan Gu’s mystical realm to find Li Zhaojun but feared Ye Fan would grow suspicious afterward, so he held back, waiting for Ye Fan to bring it up himself.
