Ye Tian Xie gave a nod before saying, “Then I’ll leave it to you to prepare a space for it.”
With that, he just put his hands behind his head and stood there like he didn’t have a single care in the world.
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a trace of a bitter smile when he saw this.
The first time that he met Ye Tian Xie, he really had this same carefree way to him. Even Ye Tian Xie’s sister, Ye Qing Huan acted the same way.
Was it because he was powerful that he could act this way?
Or was it just the way that he was born?
Mu Bao Bao looked at Lin Fan with a worried look after hearing this, but he turned around to give her a nod of assurance before saying, “Go and prepare it with Yue Lan. You don’t have to come to the meeting if you don’t want to.”
Lin Fan slowly turned back to look at Ye Tian Xie after saying this.
Ye Tian Xie gave a simple nod in response.
Lin Fan had already guessed that whatever Ye Tian Xie wanted to talk about was already related to him with the way that he acted. Though he wasn’t certain why Ye Tian Xie was interested in him…
It was better that Mu Bao Bao wasn’t there since she was the one that they were pairing with Ye Tian Xie.
The less time that she spent alone with him, the better to avoid any misunderstandings.
After Mu Bao Bao left, it was just Lin Fan and Ye Tian Xie who were left in the room.
The two of them just stood there, one looking awkward and one looking calm.
But before Mu Bao Bao could come back with Yue Lan, the elder arrived first.
The elder had already sensed that Lin Fan had consolidated his cultivation and he hadn’t been able to find a trace of the person that had pressured him earlier. He knew that his chance to find that person was gone, so he came back to talk to Ye Tian Xie and see if there’s anything that he could do.
When he came back though, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was just Ye Tian Xie and Lin Fan here.
That would make things much easier if there weren’t any witnesses.
The elder gave a smile to Lin Fan before heading over to Ye Tian Xie’s side to talk to him.
But before he could say anything, Ye Tian Xie said, “Elder, I have something to discuss in private with Brother Lin. I hope that you will give us some space.”
The elder was caught off guard hearing this before quickly knitting his brows.
He looked at Ye Tian Xie for a bit before saying, “Young master, is this related to the orders that you’ve received from the sect? If it is, I feel that I should be…”
Ye Tian Xie narrowed his eyes when he heard this before cutting him off by saying in a firm voice, “This is a personal matter, there is no need for you to get involved.”
The elder was once again caught off guard hearing this, but he didn’t force the issue.
He could see the look that was on Ye Tian Xie’s face, so he knew that it was better not to stick his nose where it wasn’t wanted. It seemed like this was something important to Ye Tian Xie.
With a nod, the elder said, “Alright, then young master, I hope that you will consider what I talked about earlier.”
With that, the elder left the room.
Lin Fan couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows when he heard this, but this wasn’t the peak of his surprise.
He was even more surprised when he heard Ye Tian Xie say, “That person has no good intentions. You should watch out for him in the future.”
Lin Fan raised a brow to look at Ye Tian Xie when he heard this.
After all, the elder and Ye Tian Xie were both from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Even if he and Ye Tian Xie were considered friends, that didn’t mean that Ye Tian Xie would betray someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect to help him.
That was what Lin Fan thought.
So he didn’t really trust what Ye Tian Xie said…
However, it wasn’t as if he could just call Ye Tian Xie out like this, so he just gave a simple nod in response.
Ye Tian Xie saw this and didn’t say anything else as he went back to the same calm and relaxed appearance from before.
Lin Fan had no idea what he was thinking based on this.
Luckily for him, he was saved by Mu Bao Bao and Yue Lan who came back to tell them that a room had been prepared for them.
It wasn’t in the same inn as the one that Lin Fan broken through in since he had already attracted too much attention there. There was no telling what kind of people had already gathered by the inn, so there was no way for them to have a private conversation there.
With the secret passage in the inn, they were able to make it to another smaller inn of the city.
This one was mostly abandoned since most of the people had gone out to see the commotion. The few people that were still here all seemed to keep to themselves as they stayed in their rooms.
With this secret passage, they were able to make it to one of the rooms that was in the basement.
This was one of the rooms that had been prepared for secret conversations like this.
After entering the room, it seemed like Mu Bao Bao and Yue Lan wanted to stay, but I had the two of them leave. Even though it would be helpful to have them here, I didn’t feel like it was a good idea for Mu Bao Bao to stay.
Of course, I couldn’t just send Mu Bao Bao away without sending Yue Lan away.
I just had to bite the bullet and send them both off.
They looked like they were unwilling to leave at first, but Yue Lan soon understood what I was thinking and pulled Mu Bao Bao away. As she left, it seemed like Mu Bao Bao also understood what my intentions were, even if it was hard for her to accept still.
In the end, it was only Ye Tian Xie and me who were left in this room.
He didn’t seem to be in a rush to say anything as he casually sipped the tea that was served.
After taking that sip, he let out a sigh as if he was enjoying the tea and he even said, “Good tea.”
That left an awkward look on Lin Fan’s face as he didn’t know what was happening.
Ye Tian Xie was the one that had asked to talk to him in private, so he naturally didn’t know what Ye Tian Xie wanted to talk to him about. At the same time, that meant that it wasn’t appropriate for Lin Fan to say anything since he didn’t even know what to say.
All he could do was awkwardly sit there and wait for Ye Tian Xie to start.
After a bit of silence, Ye Tian Xie suddenly looked up at Lin Fan and said in a casual voice, “I’m sure that you’re wary of me because you’ve heard of how they want to engage me with that little lover of yours.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything as he waited to see where Ye Tian Xie was going with this.
All of a sudden, Ye Tian Xie gave a sigh and spread his hands before saying, “I’ll be honest with you, this isn’t what I want at all. I don’t want to be forced into a marriage at all, I want to be with someone that I choose to be with.”
Lin Fan didn’t say anything as he kept narrowing his eyes to look at Ye Tian Xie.
The look in his eyes made it clear that he didn’t seem to believe what Ye Tian Xie was saying.
However, Ye Tian Xie didn’t seem bothered at all by the way that Lin Fan was looking at him.
He just calmly looked at Lin Fan as he continued by saying, “I know that it’s hard for you to trust me, but I ask that you at least hear me out as a friend.”
Lin Fan was surprised that Ye Tian Xie would say something like this, but he gave a nod of agreement in response.
Listening to him was the least that he could do.
Ye Tian Xie suddenly revealed a smile as he said, “I don’t want to get engaged, but they want to create the relationship between the Mu Empire and the Heavenly Demon Sect. So it’s very simple, there’s just someone else who has to get engaged.”
Lin Fan’s eyes opened wide with surprise when he heard this.
He just couldn’t seem to understand what Ye Tian Xie was saying, but Ye Tian Xie wasn’t bothered by this at all.
With the same smile, he said, “It’s very simple, since you’re already engaged to the empress of this Mu Empire, if you were to marry someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect, you would be able to connect the two.”
There was a strange look that appeared in Lin Fan’s eyes when he heard this, as if he could guess what Ye Tian Xie was about to say.
“All you have to do is marry my little sister and it’ll all be fine.” Ye Tian Xie actually said this with a smile on his face.
