"Senior Sister, are you saying that one of Zhao Jun and I might be the chosen one?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"Why else would I call you both out here? It's not just me who thinks that. Even our sect members and people from the other major factions think so. Otherwise, why hasn't the power of the seven major sects found someone who can make Tai Ning recognize a master? And Tai Ning's attitude towards you and Zhao Jun is too special," Wu Ding sighed lightly. "But we still don't know whether it's you or Zhao Jun."
Li Zhaojun looked at Ye Fan with gentle affection, saying, "If it really is true, then it must be you, Ye Fan, right?"
Ye Fan laughed and replied, "It should be you, because at the time, the prophecy stone showed a figure resembling a woman."
"No matter which one of you it is, be careful. Our sect will come looking for you, the five major sects will come, even the people from the Diyuan sect will come. In short, all seven major sects will want to recruit you to their side, so that if they can survive the great calamity in the future, their sect can become the leader of the secret realm, or even unite the entire cultivation world!" Wu Ding said.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Thank you for the warning, Senior Sister. Zhao Jun and I will be careful. If there's nothing else, can we drive back now?"
Wu Ding said nothing more, and Ye Fan drove back to the villa.

...
Since it was daytime and Ye Fan wanted to take it easy, they flew first class on a flight from Jingzhao City to Hua Hai City that day.
Before Ye Fan left, Sun Ning arrived on a private plane. Upon learning that Ye Fan and the others would be taking a commercial flight back to Hua Hai City, she immediately booked tickets to fill up the first-class cabin. How to deal with the passengers who had their tickets refunded was Sun Ning's problem. For the Han Group, this wasn't difficult.
When Ye Fan and the others boarded the plane, they overheard the conversation among the flight attendants.
Originally, this flight was fully booked, but suddenly the airline and airport staff announced that many passengers had changed their plans at the last minute, leaving only a few special guests in first class.
The flight attendants were curious about who these important people might be – government officials or secret military personnel?
When Ye Fan and his party arrived, the flight attendants were even more puzzled. It turned out to be a young-looking man with a group of women of varying ages. The eldest, Wu Ding, appeared to be in her thirties, full of grace, while the youngest, Qing Xu, looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. However, Qing Xu was actually much older than she appeared due to her early cultivation to the Golden Core Stage, which had slowed her physical growth, and her innocence was due to her ignorance of the outside world.
"Do you think this is a three-generation family trip? Look, the older woman is the mother of the first generation, probably in her fifties but well-maintained. The handsome guy could be her son, along with his wife and daughter, and the little girl is his granddaughter?" A female flight attendant whispered gossip to her colleague.
"Wow, then the handsome guy must be nearly forty, right? His daughter is already over ten years old."
"Not necessarily. Maybe they married young. These rich people might have children at eighteen or nineteen, in which case his handsome guy might only be thirty."
Ye Fan didn't want to hear people discussing him. Sun Ning sat next to him, and without the keen Spiritual Sense Ye Fan had, she couldn't hear the whispers, otherwise, she would definitely question them.
"Junior Brother, they say you're forty, isn't that funny?" Wu Ding looked at Ye Fan with teasing eyes.
Ye Fan looked out the window and said, "They also said you're over fifty, aren't you mad, Senior Sister?"
"Haha, I've been alive for two hundred years. If they say that, it makes me look young. But really, does Qing Xu look eleven or twelve, always mischievous and whimsical!"
...
...
The plane took off smoothly, and Ye Fan meditated with closed eyes.
When they got off the plane, Sun Ning had arranged a car to pick them up, and they drove back to the hotel in several vehicles.
"Mr. Ye, Deputy Mayor Tantai contacted you earlier, but your phone was off, so she couldn't reach you," Sun Ning informed Ye Fan after reviewing some previous records.
They were still on their way to the hotel at this point.
Ye Fan immediately called Tantai Wanrong, but she hung up. Shortly after, he received a message: "Wait for me at my house."
In Ye Fan's car, besides Sun Ning who was driving, there were only Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun.
"Let's go to Baiyun Community, Zhaojun, come with me to meet Big Sister," Ye Fan said.
"Alright," Li Zhaojun nodded, since she was about to have a wedding with Ye Fan and needed to personally share this "good news" with Tantai Wanrong.
Sun Ning passed the message to the other vehicles, instructing the drivers to first take Wu Ding, Qing Xu, Min Shang, and Lan Jing back to the hotel, while she drove Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun to find Tantai Wanrong.
At Tantai Wanrong's doorstep, they rang the bell, and it was Zhao Tianya who opened the door, not Tantai Wanrong.
"Sister Ya?" Ye Fan was a bit surprised.
"What, you didn't want to see me?" Zhao Tianya said with a bit of anger.
Ye Fan, annoyed, said, "Didn't I have someone take you to a safe place? How did you end up here?"
"Do you say it's dangerous wherever you think it is? Anyway, this is the deputy mayor's house, who's going to dare to cause trouble here?" Zhao Tianya was initially angry, but then noticed Li Zhaojun standing behind Ye Fan and immediately composed herself. "Zhaojun is here too? Just come in and wait. Big Sister is in a meeting at the municipal government and will be back as soon as it's over. She asked me to entertain you in the meantime!"
Ye Fan thought to himself that Tantai Wanrong had found "you" to be entertained, but it was probably meant to entertain him alone.
If Li Zhaojun hadn't come along, who knows what might have happened between him and Zhao Tianya at Tantai Wanrong's house; that would have been truly absurd.
Sitting down, Zhao Tianya acted like the host, serving tea to Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun. Zhao Tianya said, "I don't know why Big Sister called you here, but she'll probably explain when she arrives."
Li Zhaojun said, "Actually, Ye Fan and I have something to tell you, Sister Ya. We are going to... have a wedding reception."
This one sentence caused Zhao Tianya's hand to freeze suddenly, dropping the teacup to the floor. Fortunately, the floor was wooden, so the cup wasn't broken, but the tea spilled everywhere.
Li Zhaojun, a bit confused, asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
"No... I'm fine. Why would I have anything wrong? You and Ye Fan having a wedding reception is good news. I only wish you happiness. Have you picked a date yet?" Zhao Tianya asked, somewhat absentmindedly.
"Not yet, we're waiting to decide after discussing with the family," Li Zhaojun answered seriously.
Zhao Tianya gave Ye Fan a complex look, as if looking at a heartbreaker, while Ye Fan pretended not to notice anything.
"Zhaojun, I have a personal favor to ask Ye Fan. Could I borrow him for a while to talk in the bedroom?" Zhao Tianya suddenly asked.
