Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1617 - 1613: The Mystic Maiden Meets Li Zhaojun

Li Zhaojun couldn’t determine if she was in reality or an illusion, but she remembered many things, which felt quite different from when she was groggy in the Illusionary Hua Sect.

Her memories were no longer hindered, and whatever she thought of came smoothly, especially as she recalled Ye Fan’s words. Ye Fan said that as long as she could happily live with someone she liked, it didn’t matter if she was in an illusion, as long as she felt happy inside.

"I must be back on Earth now. Ye Fan is still rescuing other girls—it’s my fault for putting those girls in danger, all because of me!"

Li Zhaojun felt a sense of guilt, but she still wanted to pull herself together. "Ye Fan did so many things for me, he didn’t blame me. If I can’t take care of myself, he’s definitely the one who will worry the most. Now I’ve even delayed our wedding, he must be unhappy too!"

Li Zhaojun suddenly thought of seeing her mother and Qiao Feixuan, but she knew she couldn’t leave the villa casually because Ye Fan had set up powerful element forces outside to protect her. If she went out, she might endanger herself.

"I should practice cultivation. I hope he can rescue Xiao Man and the others soon. Then I’ll make it up to him!" Li Zhaojun sat cross-legged, finding she lacked the energy for cultivation, while simultaneously sensing a strong force approaching her, which triggered her instinctive reaction.

But the visitors posed her no threat; it was Xuan Nu and Lan Jing, rather than those who deeply resented Ye Fan and her.

Li Zhaojun already knew about Xuan Nu and Lan Jing’s situation. Seeing Xuan Nu now, Li Zhaojun felt apologetic, as she was the one who took Lan Jing away and almost caused her to be trapped forever.

"Senior Xuan Nu, Miss Lan Jing, how have you been?" Li Zhaojun met with Xuan Nu and Lan Jing in the living room on the first floor of her house.

Xuan Nu stood still, observing Li Zhaojun, saying, "Little girl surnamed Li, if it weren’t for Ye Fan, I definitely wouldn’t forgive you. Now I won’t do anything to you, but Ye Fan is still rescuing other girls, so I came over to check on you!"

Li Zhaojun asked, "Is there something you want to tell me, senior?"

"I think you are well aware that Ye Fan is no longer the Ye Fan of the past. The power he now wields almost equals that of ancient mighty beings..." Xuan Nu started saying things that left Li Zhaojun puzzled.

Li Zhaojun thought to herself, "Why is she telling me this? No matter how powerful Ye Fan becomes, what does it have to do with her?"

Finally, Xuan Nu said, "I hope to cooperate more with Ye Fan in the future. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"

Li Zhaojun replied, "What are you talking about, senior? If you want to cooperate more with Ye Fan, that’s between you and Ye Fan, no need to inform me. I’m just an insignificant woman beside Ye Fan!"

"You know you’re an insignificant woman, yet what were you doing before? You acted like a savior, unaware of being manipulated. Xi He, Chang Yi, and Lei Zu—these three are highly skilled ancient cultivators. They wanted to use you to weaken Ye Fan’s power and forced him to sever his emotions and affections... I hope you understand, you’re just an inconspicuous woman beside Ye Fan, you cannot influence his decisions in the grand scheme!" Xuan Nu said sternly.

Li Zhaojun, feeling a bit guilty, said, "You’re right, senior. I will remember!"

Xuan Nu said, "I just came to see you briefly. Now I have to take Lan Jing to East Sea Seabed, don’t wander around and cause trouble for Ye Fan again!"

After speaking, Xuan Nu didn’t wait for Li Zhaojun’s response and directly left the villa with Lan Jing.

This raised a strong sense of guilt in Li Zhaojun’s heart once more.

...

...

Ye Fan, with Xi He, entered the next illusion, searching for those imprisoned within it.

This illusion differed from the previous ones; the scene was neither Earth nor Pan Gu’s secret realm, but seemed like a chaotic space resembling a metropolis, filled with people of both genders dressed in ancient to modern clothing, including many cultivators. Ye Fan was unable to locate the edge of the illusion, and had to observe its characteristics to determine who might be imprisoned here.

Xi He’s spiritual power had somewhat recovered, and she walked behind Ye Fan, saying, "Ye Fan, do you understand what Xuan Nu meant earlier?"

Ye Fan didn’t respond, as he was disinclined to deal with Xi He at that moment.

Xi He continued, "Xuan Nu has considered submitting to you, congratulations, you’re gaining Xuan Nu’s assistance. She possesses more feminine charm than I do. Among all ancient cultivators, only she and Nuwa belong to the first generation of cultivators!"

Due to Xi He’s shocking words, Ye Fan looked at Xi He and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don’t you understand? If you return, you can have Xuan Nu, and even potentially her daughter Lan Jing. No matter what you think, Xuan Nu has made the decision!" Xi He replied.

"How do you know?" Ye Fan frowned and asked.

"I know her too well. She’s someone who stops at nothing to achieve her goals, seeking to fulfill the responsibilities Pan Gu and Fu Xi entrusted her with, such as balancing the realm of living beings. She has been enduring silently, eventually prepared to relinquish her cultivation for her daughter. To me, she’s the most dangerous person, but I feel indebted to her and have always protected her," Xi He explained.

Ye Fan said, "But you also used her!"

"Indeed, regardless of my relationship with Xuan Nu, she currently wants to use you, hoping to gain your support and help by becoming your woman. Would you agree?" Xi He inquired.

Ye Fan shook his head, saying, "She has her own daughter, why would I want such a woman? Besides, you said she’s a dangerous woman, I won’t accept a woman with such strong motives!"

Xi He sighed gently, seeming to have something to say, but she ultimately remained silent.

At this moment, a graceful woman appeared before the two, her phoenix-like eyes seemingly conveying affection, smiling as she spoke: "Esteemed sir, you appear dignified, surely a talented and gallant gentleman. Would you be interested in witnessing the grace of our ladies at the Flowers Pavilion?"

"Flowers Pavilion?" Ye Fan looked at the graceful woman, repeating the name with a frown. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Visiting Great Jade City, one must come to the Flowers Pavilion. The girls here are the best throughout Great Jade City. Whether you fancy cultivators, demonic practitioners, or ordinary human girls, we have them all. Even if you can’t find someone specific, we’ll find them for you in the shortest time!" The graceful woman responded with a playful smile.
