Chapter 713: Chapter 713: The Aura of the Main Palace

Xu, Xu Youran?

Is that Xu Youran?

Yue Mingzhu had already sent someone to inquire about Jiang Fan’s only official woman.

She naturally knew her name.

At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.

The hands wrapped around her arm unconsciously let go.

Even her proudly raised neck lowered a bit.

Like a little thief caught red-handed by the owner.

With a slightly panicked expression, she retreated to the side.

Xu Youran glanced at her and walked over to Jiang Fan.

She quietly gazed into his eyes.

Jiang Fan felt guilty and said, “Youran, I’m sorry, I…”

He really didn’t know how to explain.

In fact, there was nothing to explain.

A flirt is a flirt, sentimental is sentimental.

Arguing just seemed hypocritical and shameless.

Xu Youran covered his mouth.

The tears in her eyes fell down suddenly like a kite with a broken string.

“It’s me who should apologize to you, not knowing you’ve been through so many dangers.”

She leaned on Jiang Fan’s shoulder, filled with guilt.

She and Chen Silin were too well protected.

Even when the battle at Boundary Mountain ended, they were still executing third-level tasks in the center of Nine-Sect territory.

By the time they knew what kind of desperate situation Jiang Fan had encountered at Boundary Mountain,

Jiang Fan was already deeply mired in the Demon Race quagmire.

She was not even as good as Liu Qingxian.

It’s said that Liu Qingxian almost died on her way to Boundary Mountain for Jiang Fan.

This made her question her own competence as a fiancée.

Jiang Fan’s heart softened, he embraced her waist and said softly:

“I should be the one apologizing to you and Silin.”

“For making you worry.”

Chen Silin’s eyes turned red as well, and she threw herself into Jiang Fan’s arms.

“Husband, my sister and I thought we’d never see you again.”

“We were even preparing to return to Lonely Boat City to guard a tomb for you from then on.”

Saying this, the tears began to fall.

Jiang Fan felt moved and embraced her as well.

“I’m sorry for worrying you.”

“Also, please rest assured in the future, your husband may not have other skills, but my skills for staying alive are top-notch.”

“Even if faced with a Nascent Soul, I can barely manage to escape.”

The two women cried for a long time.

Until more and more people gathered around, making the two women embarrassed.

Only then did they wipe away their tears and leave Jiang Fan’s embrace.

Xu Youran caught a glimpse of Yue Mingzhu in the crowd.

She couldn’t help but feel concerned.

This pretty eighteen-year-old girl seemed to have an unusual interest in Jiang Fan.

Seeing the Bodhi Seed in her hand, Xu Youran said:

“This was given by my husband, wasn’t it?”

Yue Mingzhu clenched the Bodhi Seed.

As a sect master, she’s always the one giving others pressure.

Now, Xu Youran gave her tremendous pressure instead.

She felt guilty and said, “Yes, he gave it to me. Is there a problem?”

Xu Youran calmly said, “I don’t agree.”

“Return it.”

What?

On what grounds?

This was given to her by Jiang Fan, why should Xu Youran take it back?

She bit her red lip slightly.

Always rebellious and pursuing freedom, why would she bow down?

“This was given to me by Jiang Fan.”

“If you have the guts, let Jiang Fan take it back!”

Xu Youran glanced sideways at Jiang Fan.

However, she did not put Jiang Fan in a difficult position publicly, she only said, “Let this be the last time.”

“Without my permission, I don’t want other women to accept my fiancé’s gifts!”

Everyone understood.

Xu Youran was declaring her sovereignty.

It’s no wonder she behaved this way.

Jiang Fan’s fame had skyrocketed, and too many female disciples were interested in him.

If it were true admiration, it wouldn’t be an issue.

But there were some female disciples with dubious intentions among them.

It’s not a bad thing to give them a preemptive warning early on.

Even if it angered Yue Mingzhu, it served as a warning to others.

Yue Mingzhu had never suffered such grievances before.

She figured out why Liu Qingxian didn’t get along with Xu Youran.

Anyone with a bit of pride couldn’t stand Xu Youran.

But she was the legitimate one in charge.

No one could contend with her.

Suddenly.

She noticed Gong Caiyi in the crowd.

She was hiding in the crowd, looking guilty.

Yue Mingzhu was furious.

Oh, you were there for the feast.

Now, I alone bear the blame?

She rolled her eyes, raised her voice, and said, “Sect Master Gong.”

“Don’t you want a Bodhi Seed?”

“Out of the ten, one of them should be yours.”

What?

Gong Caiyi’s heart skipped a beat, she stomped anxiously.

“Why mention me?”

She couldn’t avoid Xu Youran quickly enough.

The detestable Yue Mingzhu just had to out her.

Xu Youran had already turned her gaze over, and everyone around was watching.

She had no choice but to step forward and say:

“Miss Xu, please don’t misunderstand.”

“I just know Jiang Fan a little.”

After thinking it over, she took out a small Spirit Beast and said:

“This is a small gift for you on our first meeting.”

Xu Youran could tell.

It was obvious Gong Caiyi felt guilty around her.

It didn’t take much to guess; she must be another woman infatuated with Jiang Fan, just like that Yue Mingzhu.

She sighed softly in her heart.

Jiang Fan’s charm was truly overwhelming.

First, it was the daughter of a Nine-Sect Master.

Now, even the Nine-Sect Master herself admired him.

In her heart, she was naturally concerned about Jiang Fan having other women.

Yet she didn’t oppose it.

Because, with Jiang Fan’s rising status, more excellent women would be attracted to him.

This wasn’t something that would disappear just because she opposed it.

Instead of becoming a jealous woman with nothing going for her, it was better to manage them for Jiang Fan.

If they were stable and harmonious, Jiang Fan would have no worries.

Gong Caiyi in front of her was gentle and kind, not rebellious like Yue Mingzhu.

So naturally, she wouldn’t give her a hard time.

Immediately, she smiled while accepting the gift, saying, “When my fiancé first entered the Green Cloud Sect, Sect Master Gong helped him greatly.”

“Youran is truly grateful.”

“Husband, you should give her one Bodhi Seed too.”

Jiang Fan had no objections.

He immediately produced a Bodhi Seed as well.

Gong Caiyi was overwhelmed with favor.

She had been worried Xu Youran would target her like she did Yue Mingzhu, making her feel humiliated.

However, she was instead treated with such kindness.

This left Yue Mingzhu feeling quite furious.

Xu Youran’s meaning was practically written on her face.

If they complied, she would accept them.

If they didn’t, they’d be left out.

But her nature was not one to submit to others.

She stomped her foot and stormed off angrily.

Xu Youran’s gaze swept over everyone.

When it landed on Xia Chaoge.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She nervously opened her hands, hurriedly explaining, “Aunt.”

“I, I don’t want it anymore, I’m giving it back to you.”

Xu Youran smiled faintly, “Since it was given to you, my nephew, take it with ease.”

She was a bit puzzled.

Why was this girl nervous?

She was scrutinizing Jiang Fan’s women.

What did it have to do with a junior in her generation?

With what she knew about Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan might be careless, but he wouldn’t be reckless in such matters.

Giving her a Bodhi Seed should mean he considered her an important junior.

Xia Chaoge blushed, murmuring to herself:

“Really.”

“What am I nervous about?”

“I’m just a niece, and Aunt’s words weren’t about me.”

Only then did she hold onto the Bodhi Seed with assurance.

Jiang Fan smiled wryly, saying, “You sure put on quite the show of authority.”

Xu Youran glanced at him with a hint of grievance, “You think I want to be the bad guy?”

“It’s all for your sake.”

Chen Silin wrinkled her nose, “Husband, you have no idea how popular you are.”

“Just from the rumors I heard, several elders from different sects are thinking about introducing their female disciples to you.”

“As for the ones I don’t know about, they’re practically endless.”

“If sister doesn’t establish her authority, you’d be overwhelmed.”

At this moment.

A loud voice came from Boundary Mountain, calling:

“Jiang Fan, come to the camp quickly!”

“The Pavilion Master has an order to convey to you.”

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master?

Jiang Fan was filled with respect.

If not for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master’s rescue from afar this time, he would not be alive.

He must repay this kindness.

Whether the order given now was to assign him a task.

Even if it meant going to the ends of the earth, he’d execute it without hesitation.
