As night fell, the beach not far from the hotel was lively, with many people having a bonfire party, most of whom were young men and women.

In the European-style presidential suite, Li Bei took out his ancient map and explained to Ye Fan and the others the location of the Tianhai Sect's mountain gate: "…The bubble cave is formed by a rock that has not sunk to the seabed. It can be found at different locations depending on the direction of the ocean currents and the transformation of the stars and moon. It can be found within a thousand kilometers, but you must dive into the deep sea to find its exact location. I have a compass from Earth, and an interstellar compass. Only by comparing the time can we find the exact location, and we have to wait for a storm at sea to dive."

Elder Wu frowned and asked, "Why is that?"

"Because during a storm, the giant rock of the Tianhai Sect releases an energy that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, the sun, and the moon, which is the condition for the formation of the Sky Sea Elixir. At this time, there will be a large whirlpool at sea, and we can accurately track it by diving according to the position of the whirlpool..."

Wu Ding sneered, "So troublesome, you're not trying to deceive us, are you?"

Li Bei shook his head and said, "Deceiving all of you would yield me no benefits."

Just as he was speaking, a knock came from the door. Wu Ding glanced at the door and said, "That woman is here again. Junior brother, seems your little lover has arrived."

"Senior sister, I don't know the hostess here at all, so you'd better not speak nonsense." Ye Fan said coldly.

"You're blaming me for speaking nonsense? If she doesn't know you, why would she treat you so well?" Wu Ding gave Ye Fan a look and called out loudly, "Come in."

Xiao Ning opened the door and stood respectfully at the entrance, saying, "Mr. Ye, my lady requests to speak with you downstairs."

Almost simultaneously, several strands of spiritual sense were emitted in the room. Besides Wu Ding, even Elder Wu, Li Bei, and Min Shang wanted to know who the person was, but only Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun did not investigate. Strangely, the spiritual sense searched many people, but none matched the "miss" mentioned by Xiao Ning.

"I'll be back soon." Ye Fan nodded.

Wu Ding pursed her lips and said, "Junior brother, don't play too much, Zhao Jun is still waiting for you here."

Sowing discord!

Ye Fan realized Wu Ding was just trying to stir up trouble, knowing well he wouldn't fall for it, yet she insisted on using these words to provoke him, indirectly provoking Li Zhaojun.

Ye Fan left with Xiao Ning, the two took the elevator down, and in the lobby, they saw a woman dressed in ancient costume approaching.

The light blue long dress was like a dancer performing at court; her appearance was only charming, not extremely beautiful, but her figure was curvaceous, and the dress was intentionally designed to accentuate her body.

Ye Fan had never seen this face before, but at first sight, he could confirm that this was the woman in black who had appeared on the grassland trying to snatch the small bell from Li Bei, referred to as "Miss Qing" by others at the time.

"I have met Young Master Ye." Miss Qing approached and curtsied, as if in an ancient meeting between a gentleman and a lady.

In the entire lobby, apart from Ye Fan and Miss Qing, there was no one else, even Xiao Ning chose to avoid, facilitating their conversation.

"Is it you?" Ye Fan sized her up, confirming that her injury had not yet healed.

Ye Fan thought, this woman could mobilize a large number of mercenaries with advanced weapons and find a group of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage. This woman's strength should not be underestimated, and it seems she holds a position in politics and business, well-versed in both legitimate and illegitimate dealings.

"Please come in, Young Master Ye."

At the back of the ground floor lobby of the hotel, there was a specially prepared banquet room. Miss Qing personally led the way, pushed open the door, and invited Ye Fan in before closing the door.

The banquet room was used for lunch and dinner, lavishly decorated and resplendent under the lights.

Miss Qing walked over and said, "I wonder if Young Master Ye is satisfied with my arrangements?"

"What should I call you? Miss Qing?" Ye Fan turned around and asked, looking at her.

"My common name is Han Qing'er. If Young Master Ye likes, you can call me Qing'er." The woman said with some shyness.

Ye Fan shook his head plainly and said, "We have no friendship, and even have enmity, such a title is not suitable, I'll call you Miss Han."

Han Qing'er smiled lightly and said, "Whatever Young Master Ye chooses to call me, I dare not oppose, I just hope Young Master Ye will keep me in your heart."

Ye Fan felt a strange sensation inside. With a mere wave of his hand, he could end Han Qing'er's life here, and she knew it well, yet she still invited him to such a place, as if she was not afraid of death.

"We will leave Nanhai City tonight. If Miss Han has no other matters, I will take my leave first." Ye Fan said.

"Young Master Ye, actually...I do have something to ask." Han Qing'er said with a troubled expression, "I was once a disciple of the Mingyuan Sect, but later expelled. I then apprenticed under another master, but she cannot help me advance to the Golden Core Stage..."

Ye Fan scrutinized her and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I hope Young Master Ye can teach me some cultivation methods to help me advance to the Golden Core Stage and gain five hundred years of life. I will repay Young Master Ye with everything I have, even if it means becoming a concubine." Han Qing'er, who appeared as a cold and proud female warrior on the grassland, now seemed like a charming and affectionate maiden.

Ye Fan replied evenly, "Immortals are different; the Golden Core Stage is not something anyone can achieve even if I taught you, there might be no success."

"But if I don't learn from Young Master Ye, I'll never have the chance, right?" Han Qing'er said anxiously, "Young Master Ye's background and status are extremely high, and you have the company of someone as beautiful as Miss Li. I know you look down on me, but my industries and power, aren't they what you desire? With these, you can be unstoppable..."

Ye Fan laughed, "Cultivators don't care so much about worldly matters, do they?"

"But Young Master Ye still lives in this world, needing mundane things." Han Qing'er said, "I know Young Master Ye plans to go to the Tianhai Sect, one of the most mysterious sects on Earth. If Young Master Ye could take me there..."

After talking for so long, she finally reached the main point. Han Qing'er's real aim was to go to the Tianhai Sect.

Ye Fan simply shook his head, refusing directly.

"If Young Master Ye doesn't want to take me, that's fine, but please promise you'll return to Nanhai City afterward. Just you alone, there is something here you'll want. If you come with others, I cannot offer it." Han Qing'er looked at Ye Fan tenderly, as if the "thing" she was referring to was herself.

"What is it?" Ye Fan asked.

Han Qing'er chuckled prettily, "It's the copper bell in Elder Li's hand, one of three protector bells of the ancient spiritual artifact, the Copper Tomb Mirror. Elder Li has one, and I also have one."
