Ye Tian Xie just tilted his head to look at Lin Fan with a curious look after hearing this.
Lin Fan couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows when he saw Ye Tian Xie’s reaction.
However, Ye Tian Xie suddenly said, “She’s my precious little sister, is it strange that I would want the best for her? Isn’t this just a natural thing that I should be doing for her?”
Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this.
The look on his face made it clear that he didn’t believe him.
After all, the whole reason that he was trying to marry Ye Qing Huan to him in the first place was because he wanted to link the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Mu Empire in the first place.
In this cultivation world, it was hard to believe that someone was doing something because they wanted to help someone.
So he couldn’t believe that Ye Tian Xie was doing this just to help her.
Ye Tian Xie could see the way that Lin Fan looked at him, so with a more serious look on his face, he asked, “What’s wrong with wanting to see her happy? She’s my precious little sister, so of course I want to see her happy.”
Lin Fan was caught off guard seeing this look on Ye Tian Xie’s face.
When he looked into his eyes, he could see the sincerity that was there. It showed that Ye Tian Xie indeed cared very much about this matter and he was sincere about his words.
But that didn’t make any sense to Lin Fan at all.
After all, in a cultivation world like this where the law of the world was dog eat dog, there shouldn’t be people that cared about each other like this even if they were family. Especially if they came from a large family from a large sect, they would all be trying to get as many benefits as they could from rising to the highest position.
Ye Tian Xie could see the confusion that was on Lin Fan’s face and he said, “Is there something wrong with family members looking out for each other?”
Lin Fan’s eyes trembled when he heard this.
This was exactly what Lin Fan had been thinking.
He didn’t think that the Ye Family would care about each other this much.
But then thinking about it from a different angle…could it be that it was just Ye Tian Xie cared about Ye Qing Huan because they were close?
Was it because they were siblings that took care of each other in the Ye Family that they cared for each other?
It seemed more acceptable when this thought passed through his mind.
Because of how competitive the Ye Family should have been, these siblings were close to each other because they took care of each other.
If that was the case, then it would make sense based on Lin Fan’s understanding of families in a cultivation world.
As if he could see that there was something strange about the way that Lin Fan looked at him, Ye Tian Xie said, “Our family believes that freedom is the most important thing, so they give us the freedom to choose who we marry. Though if there is pressure from the sect, then it’s hard for us to maintain that freedom.”
After a pause, he said with a smile, “Though in this case, it should be fine since my little sister is someone that barely anyone knows in the sect, so she isn’t being pressured at all to marry anyone. They should be able to accept your marriage easily as long as you can prove yourself to them.”
Lin Fan had a bitter smile appear on his face when he heard this as he didn’t know what to say in response.
This was just too different from what he imagined.
But in the end, he still asked, “Are you sure that the elders of the Ye Family are alright with this?”
Ye Tian Xie revealed a faint smile after hearing this before saying, “Are you worried that you won’t be accepted?”
Lin Fan didn’t know how to respond at first, but he eventually gave a nod and said with a sigh, “Of course I would be worried. They’re the parents of the one that I’m with, so I would naturally want their approval if I can.”
Ye Tian Xie seemed a bit dazed when he heard this, as if he didn’t expect this answer.
But in the end, he gave a cough and came back to his senses to say, “Un, you don’t have to worry about that. Our parents are quite accepting and care more about our happiness than anything else. As long as you aren’t a terrible person, then they’ll accept you. Not to mention, they usually support our choices.”
Lin Fan was a bit surprised by this, but he still gave a nod in response.
Ye Tian Xie then followed up by saying, “Regardless of what happens, the first thing that you have to do is work hard to raise your prestige. If you can’t raise your prestige, then there will be no way of convincing the sect. Convincing the Heavenly Demon Sect is the most important thing.”
There was a serious look that appeared on Lin Fan’s face after Ye Tian Xie said this before he gave a small nod.
Ye Tian Xie stood up and came forward to pat him on the shoulder before saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to convince my master and the other elders.”
Then with a more serious look, he said, “Of course, you’ll also have to do your best to complete the tasks that I’ll be sending.”
Lin Fan looked at Ye Tian Xie with a serious look and slowly gave a nod in response.
…
As Ye Tian Xie was leaving Dungeon City, he couldn’t help looking back at the city that was disappearing from behind him.
As his flying artifact moved away, there was a melancholic look that appeared on his face.
While he was flying away, there was a cloaked figure that suddenly appeared on the flying artifact. This cloaked figure stood there for a moment before sitting down on the flying artifact with him.
“Grandma Pan, do you think that I’m doing the right thing?” Ye TIan Xie suddenly said out loud.
The cloaked figure that was on the flying artifact with him didn’t answer right away as they just stood there behind him. But after a moment of silence, they said, “Young master, you are the only one that can decide if your actions are right or wrong.”
Ye Tian Xie gave a chuckle that had a hint of bitterness in it without saying anything.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Do you think that it will work out?”
Grandma Pan said without hesitation, “He is the one that you’ve chosen, so I believe that it will work out. I trust your eyes, young master.”
Ye Tian Xie shook his head before saying with a sigh, “The only problem is those old fogies back in the Heavenly Demon Sect. It’s easy for me to convince master, but those old fogies all only care about themselves and no one else. If they find out about this, there’s no doubt that they will make all kinds of objections just so they can protect their interests.”
Grandma Pan was silent for a bit before saying, “Young master, that is why you have to work hard to make this happen.”
Ye Tian Xie revealed a bitter smile as he said, “Work hard, can it all be solved just by working hard?”
Grandma Pan said with a nod, “I believe in the young master.”
Ye Tian Xie didn’t say anything in response as he just looked forward with that same bitter smile on his face.
But then after a while, that bitter smile disappeared and he revealed a serious look as he said, “Alright, there’s no time to wallow in my own self pity, there are things that need to be done first.”
He turned back to look at Grandma Pan before saying, “Have all the different elixirs been prepared?”
Grandma Pan said with a nod, “Everything has been gathered, we just need to find the chance to give them to him and have them use them to increase his cultivation.”
After a pause, Grandma Pan added, “Young master, what was that strange thing that happened with his body? How did he suddenly increase the effect of the Raging Storm Pill?”
Ye Tian Xie just simply shook his head as he said, “No idea. It must be something special about his body. But that isn’t a bad thing for us since it seems that elixirs are more effective on him, that just makes it easier to accomplish our goal.”
Grandma Pan hesitated for a second before giving a nod of agreement.
If it really was like that, then it would surely benefit the young master’s plan.
Ye Tian Xie thought for a bit before saying, “Go and prepare the first task. I want him to take care of that matter within two weeks since the deadline is there. If he misses it, then the effects won’t be as good.”
Grandma Pan just gave a simple nod before disappearing from the flying artifact.
When Ye Tian Xie was alone, he couldn’t help taking one more look back at the disappearing Dungeon City behind him and saying, “Soon, we’ll be together soon. It’ll all depend on your hard work.”
The look in his eyes was almost as if he was looking at a lover that he missed…
