Ye Fan still left, and after he left, Lu Xiaoman’s expression remained somewhat sad, standing there without saying a word for a long time.

Behind her, Mo Xiaoyan came up angrily and asked, "Has that heartless man left?"

"What heartless man? Watch your words. That is your brother-in-law. Whether or not you respect him in your heart, you must respect our relationship with you!" Lu Xiaoman said sternly, "This is the most basic principle of being a person. If you can’t respect your brother-in-law, then we need to define the relationship between us as sisters properly!"

Mo Xiaoyan said discontentedly, "Wei sister, what do you mean by this? I just said the brother-in-law is heartless, he really is heartless, otherwise how could he leave you for another woman? What I’m saying is just a widely accepted fact, and if sister finds it unpleasant, you can disregard it, but in fact, I’m still leaning towards you. If sister wants to blame me for this, I really have nothing to say!"

Mo Xiaoyan at this moment appeared innocent, as if she herself had been bullied by Ye Fan, but in fact, she was merely speaking ill of the brother-in-law in front of Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman’s expression was still somewhat distant, as if she was still thinking.

To say she doesn’t mind Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun’s matter at all is unlikely. She is also quite envious and jealous of Li Zhaojun in her heart because Ye Fan always places Li Zhaojun in the most important position, while she has been second, as the person who can really marry Ye Fan is not her, but Li Zhaojun.

"Sister, if you can’t bear to leave brother-in-law, then talk to him, or keep him here. If you believe that him going to find Li Zhaojun is wrong, then you can say so, at least let brother-in-law know what you think!" Mo Xiaoyan seemed very concerned about Lu Xiaoman, saying eagerly.

Lu Xiaoman glanced at Mo Xiaoyan and said, "Alright, there are some things you don’t need to remind me of, I know what I want. If I were really such an unreasonable girl, Ye Fan wouldn’t like me. I just need to do what I should do well. Actually, when I was with Ye Fan, I had already thought about what difficulties I would encounter in the future, and you don’t need to remind me; just take care of your own affairs!"

"Hmph, I only have my sister’s best interest at heart, and sister still speaks for that bad person!" Mo Xiaoyan felt somewhat aggrieved, thinking, "No matter how many bad things brother-in-law does, in sister’s heart, isn’t he still the most important? Actually, I’m just like that, only I can’t say it to brother-in-law. Because between me and brother-in-law, after all, it’s the brother-in-law and sister-in-law relationship, not that of a couple!"

...

...

Ye Fan left the Pan Gu Secret Realm and went directly to Earth, where Xi He was waiting for him to help find Li Zhaojun.

Among the many people around Ye Fan, Xi He had the highest cultivation at the moment. She was with Dao Zhen and Lan Jing, while the Xuan Nu was temporarily imprisoned on Earth by Ye Fan, unable to escape the confinement due to her cultivation.

"The mistress’s disappearance is not a coincidence, wasn’t there someone missing before too? What does the master think?" Xi He asked with concern.

"What I first thought of was mysterious forces abducting her, but I checked the situation in the Pan Gu Secret Realm, and the mysterious forces have not left the death sea area; I can’t figure out how they could abduct Zhao Jun unless she voluntarily entered the death sea, which is unlikely!" Ye Fan said.

Xi He said, "Since even the master couldn’t know how the mistress disappeared, asking the maid now wouldn’t yield an accurate judgment either; further investigation is needed. I wonder if the master has any clues now? Does the master think it was Nuwa’s doing, or forces related to Nuwa, or even an unknown force?"

Ye Fan couldn’t answer Xi He; he couldn’t fully grasp these matters.

He felt it was very difficult to investigate Li Zhaojun’s disappearance because her disappearance happened almost silently, and even Min Shang had disappeared together. Ye Fan anticipated this matter might be related to Li Zhaojun.

Xi He said, "The master doesn’t suspect the maid, does he?"

"I did suspect you before, but now I won’t suspect you. I just want you to help investigate where exactly Zhao Jun went. If you can find out, that would be the best; if not, try to trace the clues. If you can’t even trace the clues, I will slightly punish you!" Ye Fan replied sternly.

Xi He said nothing, knowing her current role was as Ye Fan’s servant, and it was her duty to assist him.

Ye Fan waved his hand and said, "You can go to the Pan Gu Secret Realm first; Zhao Jun should not have left the Secret Realm. I might be able to discover the happenings at the boundary of the Secret Realm. Go on!"

Xi He left Ye Fan, disappearing in an instant, leaving Ye Fan standing at the location near ancient ruins in the Arctic.

On Earth at this time, nothing remained secret from Ye Fan, with the final secret being the transmission passage set up by Xuan Nu leading to the edge of the universe, which Ye Fan had directly shut down.

"Then what do I do?" Dao Zhen suddenly spoke as Ye Fan remained silent.

Ye Fan sized up Dao Zhen and said, "What can you do? Help me find people? You should know who I’m talking about. You said before you’d help me find your Earth Origin Sect disciples, and until now there’s been no progress. Do you think I would still trust you?"

"There’s no reason for you not to trust me. I am, after all, an advanced transcended cultivator. Although my strength is still below yours, it’s not to the extent of being completely unhelpful!" Dao Zhen seemed very concerned about being underestimated by Ye Fan, wanting to prove her capability.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Just stick around me; if you can help, that’s good. If not, I won’t hold it against you. For now, help me protect Lan Jing..."

Dao Zhen never imagined she’d end up being somewhat like a caretaker, her mission merely to protect Lan Jing, which made her feel frustrated.

Ye Fan didn’t linger much on Earth. With a gesture, he enveloped Lan Jing and Dao Zhen in the element space, instantly leaving Earth for the Pan Gu Secret Realm. Without Ye Fan’s help, even a transcended cultivator like Dao Zhen couldn’t enter the Pan Gu Secret Realm.

Ye Fan didn’t return directly to Tiancheng, but headed towards the death sea instead. Going to Tiancheng wouldn’t allow him to investigate clues regarding Li Zhaojun, he’d have to go to where he believed Li Zhaojun most likely disappeared.

By this time, Xi He had already arrived ahead of him, with giant waves crashing over the death sea.
