Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1496 - 1492: Secret Gathering in Jingzhao City

Ye Fan couldn’t locate Tantai Wanrong’s whereabouts at all. Aside from the lingering Spiritual Energy of Tantai Wanrong, there was no other energy presence in the surrounding air, not even a trace of Demonic Qi, which made it seem as if Tantai Wanrong had been abducted in the air. But this was clearly unrealistic.

Ye Fan asked, "Sang Yuan, do you know what’s going on?"

"Young Master, there seems to be only one explanation, that this person’s cultivation level is far above ours!" Sang Yuan said.

"Far above ours?" Ye Fan thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Even the ancient great powers might not be able to achieve this. The mysterious woman was injured by me; if she wanted to abduct someone, she wouldn’t need to be so convoluted, and she would let me know. If it was Xi He, that’s impossible; Xi He used Shen Yan first to threaten me, now using Aunt Rong, she can just tell me directly now if there’s anything, without being so clandestine!"

Saying this, Ye Fan felt a sense of crisis in his heart, as if this person was deliberately provoking him, leaving Tantai Wanrong’s Spiritual Energy behind seemingly to show him his power and indicate danger.

Sang Yuan said, "Young Master, I will send someone to investigate this matter."

"No need for you to investigate, just focus on the wedding preparations. By Earth time, the wedding will be held in one day. If tomorrow’s wedding cannot be held on time, the previous plans will also be in vain. Don’t push yourself too hard, if you need help, go directly to Ling, she will also assist you!" Ye Fan said.

"Yes, Young Master!" Sang Yuan replied respectfully.

"You may go back first; there’s no need for you here for the time being. I plan to stay a bit longer in Jingzhao City." Ye Fan said.

"Yes!" Sang Yuan left Ye Fan’s side, thus allowing Ye Fan to stay alone in Jingzhao City.

Just about sunset, for a city, nighttime marks the beginning of urban life. Ye Fan always felt Jingzhao City had something fearsome about it, his decision to stay was also to see what it was.

Moreover, he knew another person here, Hu Jing.

Hu Jing, along with her sister and mother, was temporarily living in Jingzhao City. While Ye Fan didn’t want to disturb Hu Jing, he would still look in to see how Hu Jing was doing, as it was a form of silent care for the women he had admired before; he didn’t want Hu Jing to know he was secretly watching over her.

Hu Jing, Shen Yan, and Tantai Wanrong were all women he greatly admired during his mortal days, but due to various reasons, they eventually couldn’t be together with him, and the three seemed to want an absolute breakaway, to sever ties with him completely.

However, all three of them had acquired Golden Core Stage cultivation under his aid. As cultivators now, their future paths were bound to change. Ye Fan had been altering their lives in his own way.

"Sun Ning, find someone to send a car to pick me up, there’s a reception in Jingzhao City, and get me an invite, I want to attend!" Ye Fan called Sun Ning.

"Yes, Mr. Ye!"

Sun Ning quickly made arrangements after understanding the rough situation. She didn’t know why Ye Fan wanted to do this, but she wouldn’t question Ye Fan’s decisions, just carried out orders.

Soon, the car that came to pick up Ye Fan had already stopped in front of him. It was a female employee from Han’s Group, technically under Sun Ning, loyal to Sun Ning, and pleasing in appearance, spoke energetically.

"Mr. Ye, I’ve always admired you greatly, finally having a chance to see my idol!" The girl, about twenty years old, spoke with such charm that Ye Fan felt admiration as well. He chose the back seat rather than the front, so he could more conveniently watch the scenery outside the window.

On the way, the invitation was ready, the girl said, "Mr. Ye, the invite for the reception is already at the entrance, once we arrive, we’ll be able to pick it up."

"Hmm." Ye Fan asked, "What’s your name?"

"Cheng Xiaoxia, I used to be a secretary to Miss Sun. Later, Miss Sun let me stay in Jingzhao City, and today it’s my honor to meet Mr. Ye!" The girl smiled.

Ye Fan was unclear about the number of people under Sun Ning, nor did he inquire much about the assignments he gave Sun Ning. Sun Ning’s decisiveness in carrying out tasks was something Ye Fan admired, and he granted Sun Ning autonomy in her decisions.

Ye Fan asked no further questions, and the car was heading toward a hotel near the clock tower in Jingzhao City.

As he arrived at the hotel entrance and stepped out of the car, several men in black approached to drive people away, "Scram, we’re temporarily closed!"

Ye Fan glanced at the hotel, realizing it had been booked out entirely. The men in black continued driving away people, and soon someone delivered the invite to Ye Fan, which the men in black checked before allowing him and Cheng Xiaoxia into the hotel.

The expansive hotel had been turned into a private venue, the guests shared a common trait, carrying a purple badge on them.

"You are Mr. Long, aren’t you?" The hotel receptionist at the entrance checked Ye Fan’s invite and used advanced technology to verify its authenticity, "This is your access card, if lost, notify us immediately, and we’ll issue a replacement. Wherever you go in the hotel, please carry it for your convenience!"

"Hmm." Ye Fan nodded, continuing inward.

This hotel, usually open to the public, presented a different atmosphere today, even the hotel staff seemed to have been replaced by suspicious-looking individuals.

There were many girls entering and exiting the hotel, with no men around, making it seem like a women-only party, even the employees were all female.

"Mr. Ye, do you know what this is about?" Cheng Xiaoxia asked.

Ye Fan said, "Here, don’t use my real name, just call me Mr. Long!"

"Yes, Mr. Long." Cheng Xiaoxia replied, "To my knowledge, this hotel is owned by a foreign enterprise, usually attracting international guests. But strangely today, only girls from our China are entering, shall we go upstairs?"

Cheng Xiaoxia seemed concerned, sensing the place Ye Fan had brought her to felt off, likely hiding illicit activities.

Ye Fan used his Spiritual Sense and sensed a powerful force was sealing off the upper floors, unable to determine what was happening above.

"Let’s go see." Ye Fan said, "We can take the elevator."

Ye Fan and Cheng Xiaoxia entered the elevator. Reflecting, Ye Fan pressed for the third floor, his instinct suggesting the sealed floor was between the sixth and ninth floors, notably the sixth.

Before getting off the elevator, Ye Fan sensed a presence waiting at the sixth-floor elevator entrance; it was a cultivator, but their cultivation attributes were puzzling to Ye Fan.
