Chapter 995: Meeting them
"We have to go meet them." Ye Qing Huan said as soon as they were alone.
Lin Fan had a complicated look on his face when he heard this.
He didn't say anything as he looked at her with this complicated look on his face.
Ye Qing Huan looked right back at him with an expressionless look, but it was clear that she understood why he was looking at her like this. She also knew that it was the logical thing for him to look at her like this.
But it didn't seem like Ye Qing Huan was about to back down.
So the only thing that Lin Fan could do was…
"Are you sure that you'll be able to hold yourself back? Have you really calmed down?"
He knew that bringing it out would force a confrontation, but he also knew that he had no choice but to confront her. After all, it was dangerous to leave Ye Qing Huan as she was right now.
There was no telling what she would do since she was letting the anger go to her head.
"Then what do you want?" Ye Qing Huan asked in a calm voice, but Lin Fan could feel the frustration that was in her voice.
It wasn't that she was frustrated with him, it was that she was more frustrated with herself.
She knew that she had to be calm, but she couldn't be calm after seeing that.
Lin Fan could tell what she was thinking, so he said, "Let me go to the meeting."
Ye Qing Huan immediately shook her head and said, "No."
"Give me a reason why." Lin Fan asked her right as she rejected him.
Ye Qing Huan knitted her brows slightly as she remained silent. That was because she actually couldn't think of a single reason why she should stop him.
In truth, it was a better idea to let him meet with those outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect.
But she was still frustrated because of what had happened before.
There was also a part of her that wanted to keep Lin Fan safe, even though she knew that there wouldn't be a problem if he met with them. She knew that Lin Fan was stronger than any one of those disciples individually and even if they grouped together, she was certain that he would have a way of stalling them until she came to help.
No, with what Ye Qing Huan knew about Lin Fan, she was certain that he would even have a method of dealing with them if they were to surround him.
So there was nothing that she should be worried about.
Still, Ye Qing Huan wanted to do this herself…
After a long moment of struggling with her own thoughts, Ye Qing Huan slowly gave a nod in response. It seemed that when she was forced into a corner like this, she had no choice but to suppress the anger that she felt and make a logical decision.
Even if that logical decision wasn't the one that she wanted to make.
She forced herself to make it because…the one that it involved was the one that she cared about.
As if on cue, there was a response from the talisman that had been placed on the side.
This talisman was the one that the outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect had mentioned before. This talisman was one that allowed people to communicate with each other, though it was only through simple words since that was the only thing that could be transmitted.
The message from the outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect was simple.
"Where are you?"
This was the same message that they received earlier, but they hadn't responded to.
This time, it was different since they had come up with a plan.
Ye Qing Huan was the one that took it and she responded with, "Where are we meeting?"
The response came almost instantly.
The only problem was…
"The same place as usual."
Same place?
Where was this same place?
This wasn't something that they knew since they weren't the spies that the outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect had contacted before. It wasn't as if they knew everything that the spies knew.
So they naturally didn't know where they were referring to when they said the same place.
"It seems that there's no point in trying to meet with them. We don't know where to go to even meet with them, so we should just do what I thought was right in the first place. We should just destroy that embryo and burn those rats."
But before Ye Qing Huan could do anything, Lin Fan suddenly said, "Wait, let me think for a bit."
Ye Qing Huan slightly knitted her brows, but she didn't do anything in the end.
Though it seemed like she was getting impatient with the way that she was tapping her foot.
"Tell them that we'll meet them there. I think that I have an idea of where they are."
"What if you're wrong?" Ye Qing Huan asked with a serious look on her face.
"Even if I'm wrong, we'll be able to get back before they do and we'll be able to carry out the plan that you wanted to carry out."
Seeing that her expression didn't change and she didn't respond, Lin Fan added, "You know that this is the safer way. If we do things your way, there's no telling what could go wrong. When that time comes, it will be the people of the city that suffer." Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire
"They're already suffering." Ye Qing Huan said in response.
"Suffering more than they already are." Lin Fan said without missing a beat.
In the end, Ye Qing Huan nodded in agreement and sent the message that Lin Fan wanted her to send.
She didn't waste a single second as she suddenly grabbed Lin Fan's arm after sending that message.
With the way that she grabbed him, it seemed like she wanted to run to the location of the meeting right away. The only problem was that she didn't actually know where Lin Fan thought the meeting was.
So Ye Qing Huan suddenly stopped when she realized this and turned back to look at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan just looked at her with a bitter smile before saying, "The same place where we found the spies last time. There's a reason why they were waiting in the forest like that, right? They wouldn't have gone to that place for no reason."
As soon as Ye Qing Huan heard this, she immediately turned around without saying a word.
Lin Fan could only allow himself to be pulled along by Ye Qing Huan like this.
She didn't waste any time as she flew into the air and sped off away from the capital.
She didn't even bother leaving the capital before flying into the air like this.
Though at least Ye Qing Huan remembered to put on a barrier before flying away just in case. So even if we flew into the air like this, the other people in the city didn't actually see us.
In no time at all, we arrived at the same place as yesterday.
But before entering that place, Ye Qing Huan raised her hand and summoned the wraiths.
The wraiths didn't waste any time in scouting out this place and soon Ye Qing Huan turned back to say, "It's empty."
With a bitter smile, Lin Fan said, "Of course it is. Did you really think that they would be able to match your speed? Especially when they go around hiding themselves like that? They'll be going even slower than usual."
Ye Qing Huan slowly nodded in agreement before asking, "Then what do we do?"
Lin Fan really couldn't help feeling complicated seeing her like this.
After all, this was completely different from the way that Ye Qing Huan acted normally. It was almost as if there was something that was personally affecting her, which was why she was acting this way.
It didn't seem like she was just being pressured by the anger that she felt.
It seemed like it had something to do with the embryo that she saw before.
"First, you have to calm down." Lin Fan said after a moment of silence.
Seeing her being taken aback, he added, "I don't know what happened, but it's clear that something happened in the past between you and some kind of embryo that was similar to the one that you saw now. All I can tell you is that it will end differently from then because I'm here. So I hope that you can calm down and act like your normal self."
There was a complicated look that appeared on Ye Qing Huan's face when she heard this, but she eventually nodded in agreement.
She had to take a deep breath first, but she was able to calm herself in the end.
Once she was calm, Ye Qing Huan said, "I'm sorry for showing you that side of me."
Lin Fan gave a simple nod without saying anything else about this. Instead, he said, "Send out the wraiths to watch the perimeters and make sure that we'll be able to find them as soon as they come."
Ye Qing Huan gave another nod before waving her hand.
The wraiths that were gathered immediately spread out in different directions, heading off to watch over the surrounding area.
"Now we wait." Lin Fan said before moving over to a hidden place nearby.
Ye Qing Huan followed him with a nod.
