Chapter 756: Chapter 752: Senior Brother
Returning home, Ye Fan did not go out all day, staying by Qiao Feixuanâs side, chatting.
Li Zhaojun was also with them, but she hardly spoke a word, seemingly content to sit quietly and listen to Ye Fan and Qiao Feixuanâs conversation.
In the evening, Ye Guohua came back.
Ye Fan went up to greet him, âDad.â
Ye Guohua stopped in his tracks, surveyed Ye Fan, then nodded and said, âGood to have you back.â
Then he continued walking towards the living room without immediately catching up with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was used to it, it was no big deal.
Past ten oâclock at night, it was finally time to rest.
In the room, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun silently took turns bathing.
Ye Fan had thought Li Zhaojun would not sleep in the same bed with him. To his surprise, she still lay down on his bed, dressed in her nightgown.
âZhao Jun may have become indifferent and unfeeling due to her cultivation of the âJade Maiden Heart Scripture,â but in her heart, she still has me,â Ye Fan couldnât help but think.
However, he didnât believe that he could be affectionate with her now.
He recalled how, before Li Zhaojun started to cultivate the âJade Maiden Heart Scriptureâ last year, Qing Lian, her mentor, had emphasized that she must remain a virgin for half a year, after which they could consummate their marriage. It must have been Qing Lianâs deception.
Because, as of today, even if Li Zhaojun had once intended to consummate their marriage with Ye Fan, how could she possibly do so now with her newfound indifference?
Lying on his side observing Li Zhaojun, he saw her lying straight on her back on the bed, with her beautiful eyes lightly closed and her slender jade-like hands lightly folded on her abdomen.
From this angle, Li Zhaojunâs pretty face appeared even more exquisitely beautiful, a perfect masterpiece of nature.
Furthermore, even with her eyes closed, she still radiated an aura of distant coldness and indifference, like the cold moon in a winterâs night.
All this gave Ye Fan the illusion that the Li Zhaojun lying beside him was a sleeping beauty who had traveled across a millennium.
âZhao Jun, my wife, wait for me a little longer. I will soon enter the realm of Hua Jin, and then cultivate the âNine Yang Divine Skillâ to neutralize the indifference you do not wish for either,â Ye Fan thought to himself.
Over the past few months, Ye Fan had not stopped his martial arts cultivation and had been diligently working at it.
To enter Hua Jin, one not only needed to have their cultivation reach the late stages of An Jin but also needed an epiphany.
Now, he was getting closer to the limits of late An Jin, and in terms of reaching Hua Jin, he was vaguely beginning to grasp some elusive understanding, probably only lacking an opportunity for the full realization of Hua Jin.
Hua Jin, many martial artists stuck in the late stages of An Jin might never achieve it in their lifetimes, yet some with exceptional insight and fortune were able to reach it in merely a year or half.
The next day, Ye Fan went to pay his respects to his grandfather, Ye Elder.
Ye Elderâs attitude towards Ye Fan had not changed, still inviting Ye Fan to stay for lunch.
After paying his respects to Ye Elder, Ye Fan then went to visit his master Zhuo Junwu.
Upon first seeing Ye Fan, Zhuo Junwuâs gaze suddenly sharpened, he âhmmâed, stepped forward, and slapped Ye Fan on the back.
Ye Fan immediately felt a sense of relief throughout his body.
Zhuo Junwu withdrew his hand, regulated his breath, and then asked Ye Fan, âFanâer, have you come into contact with any rare minerals or gems lately?â
âNo,â Ye Fan shook his head.
âThatâs not right, you must have,â Zhuo Junwu said with certainty, âJust now I detected disorderly energy fluctuations in your body. Fortunately, you werenât in contact for long, and only a minimal amount latched onto you, so it wonât harm your body for the time being. I just cleared it for you.â
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan immediately understood the reason, and said, âI know what happened. A while ago, I was carrying a nuclear bomb for quite some time, and I was nearby when it detonated. It must be because of the nuclear radiation.â
âThank you, Master, for helping me remove the radiation from my body.â
Zhuo Junwu nodded slightly and then turned to sit down on a sofa. Ye Fan followed and sat down alongside him.
âYour timing is perfect. Tonight your senior brother will arrive, and youâll get to meet him,â said Zhuo Junwu.
Ye Fan was surprised and smiled expectantly, âThatâs great, Iâll finally get to see my senior brotherâs true face!â
Zhuo Junwu smiled and said, âYour senior brother is named Zhou Xianyang. He has followed me for over fifty years.â
âOh,â Ye Fan acknowledged, thinking to himself, âI didnât expect my senior brother to be almost the same age as Master.â
Around six oâclock in the afternoon, Ye Fan and Zhuo Junwu were sitting at a stone table and chairs in the backyard of the villa, talking, when a young man walked out of the villa and approached them.
Ye Fan watched the young man, who appeared to be in his early thirties, had a robust build, a stately appearance, and a commanding presence. The aura that emanated from him immediately made him stand out from the rest.
âMaster.â The young man approached Zhuo Junwu, greeted him respectfully, and said.
Seeing this, Ye Fan was taken aback, guessing that this âyoung manâ might be his senior brother.
Zhuo Junwu gave a slight nod, a smile emerging as he said, âXianyang, was your journey here smooth?â
âThank you for your concern, Master, it was smooth,â Zhou Xianyang replied.
Zhuo Junwu turned to Ye Fan, who had already stood up, and said with a smile, âFanâer, wonât you greet your senior brother?â
âJunior brother Ye Fan greets senior brother,â said Ye Fan, quickly overcoming his shock and greeting Zhou Xianyang.
Zhou Xianyang scrutinized Ye Fan and then let out a hearty laugh, âJunior brother, Iâve finally met you. The effort Master has not put into you has not been wasted; you truly possess a natural, remarkable presence.â
As he spoke, he clearly intended to take something out.
âXianyang, letâs not give Fanâer a gift for now,â Zhuo Junwu interjected, âHe currently should not be too distracted.â
Zhou Xianyang halted his movement, responding to Zhuo Junwu, âYes, Master.â
He then turned back to Ye Fan with another smile, âJunior brother, when your cultivation is successful, Iâll give you a gift then.â
âThank you, senior brother, youâre too kind,â Ye Fan said with a nod.
Afterward, the master and two disciples sat around the stone table. Zhou Xianyang initiated a conversation with Ye Fan and began to get to know him better.
During the conversation with Zhou Xianyang, Ye Fan somewhat curiously asked, âSenior brother, where do you usually reside?â
âWellâŚâ Zhou Xianyang laughed, âKunlun Mountain, I guess.â
âDo you live in seclusion there?â Ye Fan probed further.
Zhou Xianyang smiled and replied, âNot exactly. Youâll find out later.â
He was clearly avoiding revealing too much to Ye Fan due to Zhuo Junwuâs earlier instructions.
After conversing with Zhou Xianyang for over an hour, it became evident that Zhuo Junwu had matters to discuss that were not appropriate in front of Ye Fan, so he sent Ye Fan home.
Three days later, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun took a plane back to Hua Hai City.
After landing, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun parted ways and each drove off from the airport.
Returning to Hua Hai City, Ye Fan didnât rush to go back to his job in Mingde County.
After all, having been on leave for several months, a few more days wouldnât make a difference.
Moreover, he genuinely wanted to spend a few more days in Hua Hai City, meeting up with Lu Xiaoman, Tantai Wanrong, and others.
Having not seen them for a long time, he truly missed them.
