Chapter 418 - 201: Senior Brother Jian Wushuang Is Completely Dumbfounded

However, just as Ye Xiaofan was growing anxious.

A comical scene suddenly occurred.

While quickly devising a strategy, Ye Xiaofan abruptly heard words of self-doubt echoing from the void.

"How did I end up here?"

"Luo Junior Sister?"

"Luo Junior Brother?"

Ye Xiaofan looked towards the voice, only to see Jian Wushuang appearing bewildered, as if he had lost all memory of the events that had transpired, standing there in a state of daze.

The latter even looked worriedly at Luo Qingxian, his expression remorseful as he said, "Junior Sister, did I cause trouble for you?"

Luo Qingxian smiled gently and shook her head lightly.

Standing nearby, Luo Qingchen slowly sighed, his eyes seemed to be filled with regret and sorrow.

After speaking, Jian Wushuang slightly bowed to Luo Qingxian and Luo Qingchen, and even offered a slight bow to Ye Xiaofan, then withdrew with eyes full of guilt and self-blame.

Watching this scene, Ye Xiaofan was completely bewildered, unable to comprehend Jian Wushuang’s actions, but he continued to return the courtesy, opting to remain silent.

It was only after that figure disappeared at the Spirit Peak that Luo Qingchen turned to Ye Xiaofan, with a helpless expression, pointing to his head and shaking it slightly.

The implication was: He has some problems, no need to take it to heart.

Ye Xiaofan’s face was full of confusion, and Luo Qingchen seemed to understand his meaning, explaining, "Senior Brother Wushuang entered the demon path once before; when stimulated, he loses his senses and falls into self-chaos, sometimes even unaware of his own actions."

After speaking, a rare emotion flickered through Luo Qingchen’s eyes.

Beside him, Luo Qingxian’s beautiful eyes were tinged with guilt as she sincerely said, "It’s all my fault; if it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have ended up like this."

Seeing the self-reproach in his sister Luo Qingxian’s eyes, Luo Qingchen comforted her: "Sis, it’s not your fault; someone with ill intentions exploited Senior Brother Wushuang’s heart demon. This time he appeared here suddenly, perhaps someone deliberately did this to make him lose his senses."

Listening to their conversation, Ye Xiaofan suddenly understood and mused to himself that there seemed to be quite a story between Luo Qingxian and Jian Wushuang.

He couldn’t help but look towards the figure fading into the distance, finding himself inexplicably interested.

Little did he know that this Senior Brother whose mind might fall into chaos at any moment would become one of his lifelong closest friends.

The unexpected event gradually settled with Jian Wushuang’s departure.

Immediately, Ye Xiaofan bade farewell to the siblings with a bow; he had no desire to linger a moment longer, feeling that staying might lead to trouble.

However, just as Ye Xiaofan turned to leave, Luo Qingxian spoke up, "Ye Junior Brother, don’t forget what was said earlier—come to Spirit Peak once daily from today; Senior Sister will personally guide you on the ’He Yuan Technique.’"

After speaking, Luo Qingxian seemed somewhat hesitant, so she continued, "You are currently at the ’Spiritual Essence Realm Peak’; the ’He Yuan Technique’ isn’t as easy as you might think. With my assistance, you can quickly ’Integrate,’ at least before you enter the True Self Realm, merging at least ’six Spiritual Essences.’"

It could be said that no one in this world understands the horrors of the ’He Yuan Technique’ better than Luo Qingxian; in her view, without her help, Ye Xiaofan would struggle to achieve the ’Great Fusion,’ since his cultivation, despite being suppressed, couldn’t possibly merge many essences in such a short time.

Ye Xiaofan did not respond to her words, only uttering thanks before quickly leaving; if he could integrate on his own, he’d rather not return here to ’burn himself,’ and if no other choice, he could come back later.

Luo Qingxian, however, smiled gracefully, seemingly convinced that he would return.

Yet she was unaware that this decision would shock her to near speechlessness over the next five days, allowing her to witness deeper aspects of Ye Xiaofan’s true terrifying nature.

At the Spirit Peak, amidst pavilions and terraces, amidst vast flower seas and giant peach trees.

Ye Xiaofan’s departure immediately invigorated Luo Qingchen, his desire to spar Sword Intent surged, but he temporarily suppressed his excitement, instead watching Ye Xiaofan’s slowly disappearing back, and couldn’t help but glance at Luo Qingxian.

"Sis, are you sure you’re not going to clarify things for him?"

Clearly, the explanation hinted at something specific, and the phrase ’My sister is interested in you’ wasn’t just Luo Qingchen’s offhand remark, but rather Luo Qingxian’s carefully staged performance.

Earlier, what Luo Qingxian said to Jian Wushuang was also meant for those outside ’pursuers’ to hear, and indeed, it was a teenage girl’s ’revenge’ on Ye Xiaofan for being too eager to sever ties.

To the Divine Sword Sect’s unprecedented future Saintess, his indifferent demeanor was a ’slight’ to Fairy charm.

Clearly, all those past scenes were deliberately orchestrated by Luo Qingxian, aiming to make everyone aware that she would frequently contact that person, drawing some enmity.

Hearing Luo Qingchen’s words, Luo Qingxian laughed gracefully, "Explain what? Isn’t that exactly your lousy idea? Selling your sister’s reputation, pressuring him, forcing him to grow quickly, were those not your words?"

Luo Qingchen’s eyelids twitched wildly, yet he raised his brows slightly.

"Well, it’s a bargain for that guy."

"But, Sis, back on topic, after this meeting, what do you think of him? Is he worth investing in?"
