CHAPTER 984: CHAPTER 980: TANTAI WANRONG’S ANGER

While Ye Fan, Li Zhaojun, and Min Shang were in the next room, Wu Ding and Elder Wu were also in the room next door discussing the matter of returning to the Pan Gu Secret Realm.

"Junior brother is getting more and more outrageous, almost incomprehensible!" Wu Ding stomped in frustration, "I really want to go over and pull those two girls apart to see what they’re like."

Elder Wu coughed and said, "Is it really proper for you, junior sister, to go spying on others’ privacy?"

"Nothing happened, it’s just between two girls... Haha, it’s not good to say too much to senior brother." Wu Ding laughed, retracting her spiritual sense, "Actually, I just want to protect junior brother. Senior brother, are we just going to return to the Pan Gu Secret Realm and leave them on Earth?"

Elder Wu sighed lightly and said, "Before leaving, the Sect Master mentioned to me that she said Ye Fan is very likely the chosen one and urged me to try bringing him back."

"But Ye Fan now... has no intention of returning to the Pan Gu Secret Realm. We can’t just forcefully bring him back, can we?" Wu Ding said with some embarrassment.

"Ye Fan is a sensible person. He also saw the prophecy on the stone that day. The great catastrophe is inevitable, and Earth may also be destroyed when it happens." Elder Wu said, "At the very least, let him return to see if he can lift the Taining and become the chosen one. I think he should still be willing to go back."

Wu Ding sighed, "I also hope he is. The fate of the entire Pan Gu Secret Realm and all living beings rests on him. His kingly aura can truly be manifested."

While talking, the sound of a door opening was heard from the next room. It was Ye Fan and the other two coming out and entering the room.

"Senior brothers and sisters." Ye Fan came over and greeted.

Behind Ye Fan, Li Zhaojun and Min Shang both appeared calm, showing no signs of the embarrassment they felt from their previous encounter. Although outwardly normal, Min Shang was emotionally stirred inside, having not done anything with Ye Fan but at least accepting Li Zhaojun as an elder sister and being ready to become Ye Fan’s woman at any time.

Wu Ding smiled and said, "Junior brother, done so quickly?"

Ye Fan glanced at Li Zhaojun and Min Shang coldly, "Some jokes, senior sister, are better left unsaid. I will address matters with Zhao Jun and Shang, but not now."

He thought, you were observing us with your spiritual sense. If I did anything with Zhao Jun and Shang, wouldn’t it all be under your watch? I will not oblige you by letting you leave — this is our domain.

"When are senior brothers and sisters planning to leave?" Ye Fan asked.

"So eager to see us off, it seems junior brother has no intention to keep us." Wu Ding said somewhat petulantly, "We won’t stay to be a bother. We initially thought of resting for a day, but now it seems we should leave before dawn! Otherwise, it would be impossible to fly by sword after sunrise..."

She really hoped for Ye Fan to ask them to stay, but he didn’t fulfill her wish.

Ye Fan replied, "I will see off senior brother and sister."

Wu Ding glared at Ye Fan angrily. Having said it, she couldn’t take it back, so she had to gather her mood and follow Ye Fan downstairs. Before reaching the elevator, Ye Fan heard a faint sound coming from his storage bracelet and only then remembered that his phone was not turned off.

Ye Fan took it out and saw a familiar number. It was none other than Tantai Wanrong.

"Xiaofan, you’re back? Why didn’t you tell Aunt Rong?" The voice was Tantai Wanrong’s, sounding very languid, as if she had just woken up in the morning.

Ye Fan wondered how Tantai Wanrong knew he was back. He casually replied, "Aunt Rong, I’m still out handling matters and can’t return for now."

"Liar, get downstairs!" Tantai Wanrong’s voice suddenly turned stern as she hung up the call.

Ye Fan felt even more intrigued, and Wu Ding beside him asked, "Who called you?"

Li Zhaojun, though curious, understood not to interfere with Ye Fan’s privacy. Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "A friend."

The group took the elevator down, and as soon as they reached the lobby, they saw a charming woman in a ladies’ suit standing by the front desk, accompanied by a few followers, looking at Ye Fan with a mixture of inquiry and indignation.

Who else could it be but Tantai Wanrong?

It was still dark, and there weren’t many people in the lobby. Tantai Wanrong didn’t approach, as if waiting for Ye Fan to come over and give her an explanation.

"Why is big sister here?" Li Zhaojun’s expression showed some avoidance; she didn’t want to face Tantai Wanrong at this moment.

Ye Fan shook his head, "I don’t know, but with her influence, finding out where we are might not be too difficult. It’s likely yesterday’s police leaked the information, but I didn’t expect her to get here so soon."

Ye Fan gestured for Wu Ding and the others to stay as he approached alone.

When the two of them were face to face, Tantai Wanrong, mindful of her dignity, leaned in and whispered, "Xiaofan, do you really not see me as your aunt?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Aunt Rong, how can you say that? You’re always in my heart."

"You still say so? Why didn’t you inform me when you returned? If I hadn’t seen you on the news during last night’s explosion on the Western TV station, I would have thought you died unattended. Aunt has had to pull so many strings, only to find you hiding at Han’s Hotel." As Tantai Wanrong spoke, one of her followers approached to say something, and she snapped, "Can’t you see I’m talking here!?"

Even though she was angry with Ye Fan, she didn’t want to show it because she wanted to be the glamorous and elegant Aunt Rong in front of him, unlike her temperament towards her subordinates.

"Yes." The follower retreated sulkily.

Tantai Wanrong said, "Let’s not discuss this here. Come upstairs, Aunt Rong has something to ask you, and if you remain untruthful... don’t blame Aunt Rong for enforcing family discipline!"

Ye Fan smiled wryly, "What family discipline?"

Tantai Wanrong said nothing, handing Ye Fan a room card, then headed upstairs first. Perhaps she held some resentment against Li Zhaojun because she didn’t acknowledge her presence, making Li Zhaojun feel awkward.

"Junior brother, who is that woman? She seems quite arrogant." Wu Ding asked with a chuckle.

Ye Fan exhaled and said, "Haven’t I mentioned it before? She’s a friend. Senior sister, if you all plan to leave, I may not be able to see you off..."

Wu Ding coldly replied, "So you’re saying that in your heart, our position is not as important as that woman’s?"

"Venerable Wu Ding, that is not what Ye Fan meant, don’t misunderstand him." Li Zhaojun quickly explained on Ye Fan’s behalf.

"No need for explanation. If senior sister insists that I must see you off, I’ll wait a moment. I need to go up and see her, find out what she has to say." Ye Fan replied.

Elder Wu and Wu Ding exchanged glances as if to say, "We haven’t even mentioned returning to the Pan Gu Secret Realm to this kid; there’s no rush to leave."

"Then hurry back, we’ll wait on the sixteenth floor for now." Wu Ding said, hitting the elevator button again, "It’s just right to have another bath before leaving Earth so soon, I’m already feeling a bit reluctant."
