In the room upstairs, Min Shang carried a bit of fatigue and went inside to bathe, while Ye Fan tidied up his clothes and removed the Spiritual Energy web that had formed in the room.

Earlier, he had possessed Min Shang's body, simultaneously altering it. However, the changes wouldn't be completed overnight; Min Shang's body would gradually develop into a pure yin constitution, but she ultimately couldn't become a pure yin like Li Zhaojun.

"Junior Brother is so impressive, doing things above while still hiding and holding back," Wu Ding barged in without knocking and said angrily.

"Do I have to let Senior Sister admire what I'm doing by the side?" Ye Fan retorted, yet still walked over to gently embrace Li Zhaojun, who expressed her understanding towards him.

As soon as Li Zhaojun saw Ye Fan, the small blue crystal hidden in her clothes darted out, returning to Ye Fan's collar. It resembled a greedy little pet, with the warmth of Ye Fan's body being its nourishment.

"Senior Sister, tonight I'll be heading back to the Pan Gu Secret Realm with Zhao Jun and Shang. Are you staying, or coming back with us?" Ye Fan asked.

"I will stay to help you refine the Light Refining Pill, and by the way… I also need to find out which bastard caused my demonic surge, lest I find him and tear him limb from limb," Wu Ding said viciously, "Rest assured, Senior Brother is here, I won't be in any trouble."

Ye Fan wanted to say that it was because Elder Wu was causing him concern, both of them were tainted by the Demonic Qi of the Evil Spirit Banner at the Mingyuan Sect's sub-floor headquarters and had their demonic surge together. Should the demon cultivator emerge again, it would be best if the two didn't turn into demons causing chaos on Earth.

As he was speaking, Ye Fan's phone rang; it was Tantai Wanrong calling.

"I have something to deal with, Zhao Jun, talk with Senior Sister first,"

Ye Fan said as he picked up the phone and walked out of the room.

Initially, he thought Tantai Wanrong would talk about Qin Mengyao, but unexpectedly it was about someone he had been searching for but hadn't found—Hu Jing.

"Xiao Fan, the person you're looking for, I have a lead on her. She's currently in Ninghai City and reportedly about to get engaged to Sun Ronghe from Ninghai City. If you're planning to leave Earth… I'm afraid you won't have time to see her," Tantai Wanrong said.

Ye Fan had heard of Sun Ronghe; he was a "businessman" from Ninghai City, but in reality, he was the leader of a black faction, in his forties or fifties, notorious for being ruthless and lecherous. In his view, although Hu Jing behaved like a flirtatious vixen engaging in "love triangles," she was as cautious as she was with men, claiming to seek a spouse among the second-generation officials or rich heirs. How could she be willing to marry an old man?

"Aunt Rong, is the news accurate?" Ye Fan always felt he had let Hu Jing down, given that he had hidden his relationship with Li Zhaojun from her.

Hu Jing had resigned before, and he had tried to find her. Upon learning that Hu Jing was planning to marry Sun Ronghe out of spite, such an unworthy character, it was something he couldn't tolerate.

"Do you think Aunt would deceive you? Ninghai City isn't far from Hua Hai City, I'll give you the specific address. If there's anything between you and her, go and talk it out," Tantai Wanrong said, "I've also heard the police in Ninghai City are investigating Sun Ronghe's involvement with the black forces. If you don't intervene promptly and Sun Ronghe ends up in jail, she could end up a widow."

Ye Fan responded grumpily, "Aunt Rong, I find you fueling the fire."

Tantai Wanrong's tone slightly changed, "You're asking Aunt to help you find a woman, don't you consider Aunt's feelings? Forget it, there's a meeting to attend at the city government, the address is… If you plan to go, go early, be careful though, even though you're cultivating now and your level isn't low, but who knows what powers might be backing Sun Ronghe? Just be careful."

After hanging up, Ye Fan returned to the room where Wu Ding was still instructing Li Zhaojun about the details of refining the Light Refining Pill.

"Junior Brother is back? Who was it, what's going on?" Wu Ding glanced at Ye Fan with flickering eyes.

"Before returning to the Pan Gu Secret Realm, there's something I need to handle," Ye Fan said.

Wu Ding mocked, "Again with something, you have quite the list of ordeals, don't delay deliberately just to avoid going back!"

"Senior Sister, since I've promised to return to the Pan Gu Secret Realm tonight, I won't change my mind. Do you not even trust my integrity?" Ye Fan said coldly.

"I don't doubt you, but one night consists of about twelve hours, which in terms of the Pan Gu Secret Realm is equivalent to a five-day difference. Whether you leave earlier or later, it makes a big difference. You're not right at the entrance yet, and once you cross it, you'd also need time to get to the Tianxuan Sect." Wu Ding said angrily.

Ye Fan replied, "Then I'll take my leave now, once matters are handled, I'll return directly to the Pan Gu Secret Realm without stopping here."

"Hey, what's your attitude?" Wu Ding said with some dissatisfaction, but finally waved her hand, "Go, go on, best none of you stay behind. Qing Xu, do you wish to leave with him?"

"I…" Qing Xu glanced at Ye Fan and then at Wu Ding, eventually shook his head, "I haven't had enough fun, I want to stay here with Senior Sister, waiting for Senior Brother to return!"

Ye Fan didn't say much more, just discussed some details of alchemy with Wu Ding. As he planned to find Hu Jing, he didn't intend to take any drastic actions, so he'd bring Li Zhaojun, Min Shang, and Lan Jing along. Once matters were settled, he'd head directly to the entrance of Kunlun Mountain's Pan Gu Secret Realm.

Night had fallen outside, Ye Fan, Li Zhaojun, and Min Shang rode their flying swords, while Lan Jing's cultivation was extremely advanced and didn't even need a flying sword, moving faster than the others.

"Ye Fan, what matter are you attending to?" Li Zhaojun hesitated for a while but finally asked.

Ye Fan replied, "Hu Jing, remember her?"

"Of course, she's one of the three flowers of Emali, a nickname given by the people down there," Li Zhaojun chuckled.

Ye Fan was also rather embarrassed, the three flowers was a name company playboys gave to Li Zhaojun, Lu Xiaoman, and Hu Jing, but it also represented their excellence.

Ye Fan said, "There was a misunderstanding between me and Hu Jing before; I'm worried she's spitefully marrying Sun Ronghe from Ninghai City, you know about him, right?"

"Yes, a notorious ruthless person, involved in numerous forced demolitions, threats, and insider trades, even rumored to have connections with some overseas organizations. Additionally, he's a notorious old pervert." Li Zhaojun said with disdain, "Even if Hu Jing were blind, she wouldn't marry such a man, right? Or have you already…"

Ye Fan smiled bitterly, shaking his head, "There's nothing between us; she expressed interest in me before, but when I told her we're married, she felt deceived and resigned. Witnessing her determination, I feared she might do something irrational until Aunt Rong helped find her…"

Li Zhaojun nodded in understanding, "Then let's hurry over, lest she act on impulse due to resentment regarding our situation, you need to prevent anything foolish."
