Wu Ding once said, if Jiang Ting is handed over to Han Qing'er, it would make Jiang Ting's life worse than death.

It now seems that Wu Ding's words were not alarmist. As a woman, she can be more ruthless with another woman's mindset. With Han Qing'er's methods, she wouldn't simply kill Jiang Ting to vent her anger but would torture her slowly, until she found the cruel game boring, only then granting Jiang Ting a swift death.

"I don't care if you're cold-blooded, all I know is that she still has value to me, she can't be handed over to Miss Han." Ye Fan immediately refused Han Qing'er.

Han Qing'er pleaded, "Young Master Ye, can't you consider the hospitality I've extended..."

"Nobody asked you to be hospitable. If Miss Han feels that it's a loss doing so, I can afford to cover the hotel expenses." Ye Fan detested women who proffered kindness only to expect repayment, even engaging in bargaining.

Han Qing'er quickly clarified, "Please don't misunderstand, Young Master Ye. I had no such intentions. How about after sunrise, Young Master Ye brings the woman with the surname Jiang to my villa. There are some things I'd like to ask her; I beg Young Master Ye to grant me this favor."

This time, Ye Fan did not refuse, because in the plan, they intended to rest for a morning in Nanhai City, and it could be an opportunity to probe Han Qing'er's intentions.

"Alright," Ye Fan said, "but don't think of any crooked thoughts."

"I dare not, Young Master Ye must have had a tiring night, please go upstairs to rest first, I'll send a car to pick you up in two hours."

Han Qing'er was extremely flattering towards Ye Fan, practically treating him as the master here, while she was merely a servant.

Once Ye Fan went upstairs, Han Qing'er hurriedly instructed Xiao Ning, "Arrange the vehicles, then inform my master to come and meet Young Master Ye."

"Yes, Miss." Xiao Ning, almost like a robotic subordinate, never showed any refusal.

Ye Fan returned upstairs and explained the situation, Wu Ding furrowed his eyebrows, "Han Qing'er is vicious. She wants to kill anyone who offends her. Now she wants to use us, and perhaps she even plans to kill us as well."

Sitting below Wu Ding, Jiang Ting pleaded, "Master, Young Master Ye, you must not hand me over to Han Qing'er. She's extremely malicious; back when she conspired with outsiders to attack Mingyuan Sect's gates, many disciples were killed or wounded. She's vicious enough to harm her own people!"

"You need not say!" Wu Ding said coldly, "Although you have little value, we're not handing you over to Han Qing'er, unless she... can offer us enticing terms."

Ye Fan was speechless, this senior sister was too unpredictable, her mind was not particularly upright, and she acted in many unforeseen ways.

Then he called Li Bei and Elder Wu, neither opposed Ye Fan's current endeavor, Elder Wu said, "It's good to go take a look, but if the woman with the surname Han has any schemes, you must be cautious. I'll go with you."

"If someone's going, it's me." Wu Ding said disgruntledly, "Senior brother is competing with me?"

Ye Fan said, "I'd like to leave Senior Sister to help take care of Zhao Jun, let me and Senior Brother Qing Wu go."

"Hmpf, it's because you don't trust me. But fine, I'll watch over your beloved one. When you return, don't be surprised if I've devoured her, leaving no trace of bone behind."

...

In the morning, the car to fetch Ye Fan had already stopped at the hotel entrance, Han Qing'er did not come personally.

Ye Fan, appearing like an ordinary person, walked out of the hotel with Jiang Ting following behind and got into the car, while Elder Wu used Spiritual Sense to track them, then followed Ye Fan.

"Mr. Ye, rest assured, my young lady's villa is undoubtedly the safest and most secluded place in the city, she won't offend you at all." Xiao Ning, sitting in the front row, smiled as he glanced back.

Ye Fan was too lazy to respond, gazing out the window.

Nanhai City is a place without winter, it is picturesque all year round, with wide and bright streets, and many tourists who go to the seaside. They were headed to a place without sandy beaches but towards some inland hills, the place seemed tranquil despite being not far from the sea.

In less than twenty minutes, the car stopped, Xiao Ning personally got out to open the door for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan looked around and couldn't help but admire Han Qing'er's wealth. This villa was built amidst the hills, surrounded by kilometers of forest, essentially a natural lung. It looked like a palace complex built on the hill, with four swimming pools, and several villas connected together.

"Welcome Young Master Ye." Han Qing'er, dressed in a loose robe, greeted him at the door, opening a narrow gate herself.

This villa didn't even have a large gate, only using thorny fences as barriers, and cars couldn't get close because the road was too narrow. While speaking, Han Qing'er glanced at the bowed Jiang Ting with a smile.

"Young Master Ye, please feel at home here, while myself... merely your servant in this place." Han Qing'er appeared very meek, standing nervously to the side, but her eyes continuously peeped at Jiang Ting, "Please."

Han Qing'er led the way, without encountering any burly guards, because with her enemies' strength, ordinary people couldn't provide her protection.

Yet along the way, there were many beautiful women dressed in professional attire waiting from the entrance to the inner courtyard, a total of twenty-two women stood by.

Ye Fan investigated, finding over seventy people around the villa, all without exception were women.

"Young Master Ye, what do you make of this compound?" Han Qing'er noticed Ye Fan surveying and smiled while asking.

Ye Fan remarked nonchalantly, "Dominated by yin."

Han Qing'er pursed her lips with a smile, "Young Master Ye's observation is spot on, indeed this place is dominated by yin. But with your arrival, I believe your yang energy will soon overtake the yin. Actually... this place is supposed to be Young Master Ye's garden, you ought to come here to rest when tired, as immortals advocate for the harmony of yin and yang, don't they?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan squinted at Han Qing'er.

Han Qing'er's face blushed slightly, "Does Young Master Ye still not understand? My meaning is, you are the emperor, and this is merely your inner palace. Every preparation here is for your arrival, there's everything you might need. It's just the right time to relax after your busy schedule..."

Ye Fan thought to himself, they really went to great lengths; at the hotel, he was treated like an emperor, but that was ultimately a public place. Now at Han Qing'er's private villa, no one would disturb him here. Even Li Zhaojun's Spiritual Sense couldn't track to this place, he could wreak havoc here and no one would stop him.

"If there's anything, say it quickly." Ye Fan remained unmoved, his voice cold, "We'll be leaving Nanhai City by noon."

Han Qing'er looked a bit resentful, "Young Master Ye truly lacks a bit of romantic flair, why not find some fun before discussing serious matters?"
