Yun Fan said nonchalantly, "I told you it was fake! You didn't believe me!"
"How could that be?"
Ai Li looked puzzled. She could feel it! Had her Gu encountered Yun Fan's and become ineffective?
That shouldn't be the case!
So, she asked again, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you!"
Yun Fan calmly asked, "Does it hurt badly?"
"Mmm!"
Ai Li nodded dejectedly.
"I don't even know where you get these strange things!"
Yun Fan complained, "And why did you choose me as your target?"
This was something he was very curious about. They hadn't had much interaction from the very beginning, had they?
Even though he was charming, he didn't think he was so captivating that Ai Li would fall for him at first sight!
So, he really wanted to know why Ai Li had targeted him.
Ai Li said, "Because I have strong feelings for you, and my intuition tells me you are my other half!"
"You actually believe in intuition?"
Yun Fan was on the verge of collapse. This world was too crazy! It was crazier than anything.
"Mmm! I do, because my intuition is very accurate!"
Ai Li nodded solemnly.
Hearing this, Yun Fan was utterly speechless. He never expected there to be such an innocent girl like Ai Li in this world.
He was simply defeated by Ai Li's innocence.
So, he said to Ai Li, "Intuition is one thing, but is it appropriate to bet your future on it?"
"I think it's very appropriate!"
Ai Li said, "Even though I don't know why it didn't work on you, I'm confident that one day, I will completely conquer you!"
Western women were just so arrogant!
So, he said to Ai Li, "I'm not a man you can conquer just because you want to!"
"Hmph! We'll see!"
Ai Li said confidently, "I firmly believe my intuition won't be wrong!"
"Alright! Let's not talk about your intuition for now!"
Yun Fan directly asked, "How are you going to break the control of the Gu?"
"I never thought about breaking it!"
Ai Li readily agreed.
This was not good. Yun Fan relentlessly pressed, "I mean, what if someday!"
"Then there's nothing I can do. No one can break this Gu!"
Ai Li said firmly, "So, I only have two choices: either conquer you, or remain single forever, and never think of other men in this life, otherwise, I will die in torment and pain!"
"Hiss!"
Yun Fan gasped.
"Why are you asking so much? Are you trying to trick me?"
Ai Li asked Yun Fan suspiciously.
"No, no, you're overthinking it. This Gu really doesn't have much effect on me!"
Yun Fan said nonchalantly.
"Okay then!"
Ai Li's eyes showed reluctance. "I have to go back. I don't know when I'll be able to enter Huaxia again!"
"Go, go!"
Yun Fan waved his hand impatiently.
"Hmph!"
Ai Li had wanted to hug Yun Fan to increase their affection and deal with him directly next time. Unexpectedly, this guy was so eager to get rid of her.
So, she left angrily.
After confirming Ai Li had left.
"Ouch!"
Yun Fan's face turned pale, and he immediately sat on the ground.
"You little minx, I'm not done with you!"
Yun Fan cursed.
At this moment, his heart was shattered, and he harbored an irreconcilable hatred for Ai Li.
That's right, he was infected.
He had just been pretending to be calm in front of Ai Li.
Originally, he wanted to ask Ai Li for a solution and then threaten her into helping him break the Gu.
He didn't expect Ai Li to have no solution either. This was a completely unsolvable situation.
Although many people would wish for such a situation, for Yun Fan, it was a complete burden.
Firstly, he believed there was no possibility between him and Ai Li.
Secondly, if this Gu bound him, his future happiness would be ruined.
Therefore, there was an irreconcilable hatred between him and Ai Li.
It seemed he had to find another way to break the Gu, otherwise, if this continued, he would completely break down.
Upon returning to the Black Dragon Society, Yang Xue Jian came over.
"Little junior brother, I heard that you and Ye Ji have already... you know!"
She said to Yun Fan with great interest.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Yun Fan quickly denied it.
"Tsk!"
Yang Xue Jian said dismissively, "The news about you and Ye Ji is already a headline. Look if you don't believe me!"
With that, she handed her phone to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan opened it and indeed, it was true. However, he had expected this day to come.
Therefore, he appeared calm and composed.
At this moment, he said to Yang Xue Jian, "Sixth senior sister, it was out of necessity!"
"Is that so?"
Yang Xue Jian boldly said to Yun Fan, "Little junior brother, when will you take me in too!"
If anyone else said this, they would be very tactful, but Yang Xue Jian said it very directly and boldly.
Yun Fan quickly said, "Sixth senior sister, what are you thinking! How can you have such wicked thoughts? After all, I'm your junior brother!"
Hearing this, Yang Xue Jian was speechless. Then she quickly fled. It had to be said that her strategy had failed.
She had to go back and regroup.
However, not long after she left, Lin Tian Xin arrived.
At this time, Lin Tian Xin's expression was very unpleasant.
"Yun Fan, it's one thing for you to flirt around, I can turn a blind eye to it, but you've gone too far with real action!"
Lin Tian Xin said coldly, "I'm your fiancée after all, can you show me some respect?"
In her opinion, if this continued, she wouldn't just be wearing a green hat, her whole head might be green.
Moreover, she hadn't even had a taste of him, and someone else had gotten there first. This was even more disheartening for her.
Yun Fan explained the entire story to her with a troubled expression.
Lin Tian Xin stood there stunned. She hadn't expected things to be so convoluted and dramatic.
Even she, the main wife, couldn't find a reason to retort.
So, she decided to compromise.
"Yun Fan, I don't care, we have to take that step today, otherwise, when we get married, I won't even know how many hands you've been through!"
Lin Tian Xin was prepared to go all out. Although deep down, she would never take that step before marriage.
But now, she had no choice but to put everything aside and focus on what was important.
"Okay!"
Yun Fan said generously. He already owed Lin Tian Xin, and this was a good opportunity to make it up to her.
To be honest, Lin Tian Xin's request was not excessive at all.
However, at this moment, Yun Fan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Just as Ai Li had said, it felt like ten thousand ants were tearing at him.
"No way!"
Yun Fan was distraught. He was being used like a tool without any emotional connection, and he was still suffering the backlash of the Gu.
So, at this moment, he quickly said to Lin Tian Xin, "Tian Xin, how about we wait a little longer?"
"Hmph!"
Lin Tian Xin was greatly disappointed. "I need an explanation!"
So, Yun Fan had no choice but to tell her the truth.
"Is it that fantastical?"
Lin Tian Xin couldn't believe it. She had read about such things in horror novels online before.
But in her opinion, those were just for entertainment and not to be taken seriously. She didn't expect it to become real for Yun Fan.
"It's that fantastical, and that outrageous!"
Yun Fan said with despair. He could say that this time, he was the biggest victim.
"Is there a way to solve it?"
Lin Tian Xin asked worriedly. If Yun Fan couldn't break it, would she have to wait a lifetime?
Waiting a lifetime was one thing, but more importantly, she wanted to have a child with Yun Fan to solidify her position.
Yun Fan said powerlessly, "I'll try my best to find a solution!"
"Mmm mmm!"
Under Lin Tian Xin's resentful gaze, Yun Fan found Leng Ning Shuang.
"Seventh senior sister, I've been afflicted with the love Gu!"
"Pfft!"
Leng Ning Shuang, who was drinking tea, immediately spat out a mouthful of tea.
"With whose?"
It was clear that she knew something about the love Gu. Although it wasn't fatal, it was the most terrifying Gu in the world.
Because this Gu could lock a person's heart.
Yun Fan said miserably, "That damned woman Ai Li put it on me. She's also afflicted, but she's not sure if I am!"
This was his answer.
Leng Ning Shuang then realized the seriousness of the situation, and said to Yun Fan, "It's very difficult to deal with, but not impossible!"
"What method?"
Yun Fan asked eagerly.
"Master once mentioned it. So, to break it, we'll have to wait for Master to return from his travels!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan almost fainted.
Did this mean he was finished? Ye Ji was the first woman in his life, and would she also be the last?
Thinking of this, Yun Fan was unwilling. It seemed he had to find another way. If there was no other way, he could only wait for Master to return from his travels.
Two more days passed, and Yun Fan was suffering greatly.
Today, Lin Shu Fen called Yun Fan and Lin Tian Xin together.
"Tian Xin, I have to leave!"
Lin Shu Fen said sadly, her eyes filled with reluctance, but she couldn't show it at this moment.
"Where is Auntie going?"
Lin Tian Xin asked, confused. She thought her aunt would stay for a few more days, but she didn't expect her to leave so soon.
"Yes!"
Yun Fan also said, "Auntie, didn't you plan to stay in Huaxia?"
"Alas!"
Lin Shu Fen sighed. "There's no eternal feast. This time, I have to return to the Hell Organization!"
"What?"
In their confused gazes, Lin Shu Fen said, "But don't worry, the Lord of Hell is Ai Li now! She won't do anything to me."
"And she's preparing to have me rebuild the Elder Council and strengthen her control over the Hell Organization!"
Lin Shu Fen stated her purpose.
Yun Fan and Lin Tian Xin had nothing to say about it. After all, everyone had their own aspirations, and Lin Shu Fen's position would be quite high.
"Alright, Auntie, don't worry. If Ai Li dares to bully you, I'll be the first one to not let her off!"
Yun Fan said righteously.
Lin Shu Fen was very pleased. She then said to the two of them, "Before I leave, I have some secrets to tell you!"
"What secrets?"
The two of them looked at her curiously.
Finally, Lin Shu Fen said, "Actually... I am your mother!"
"What?"
Lin Tian Xin froze on the spot. Even Yun Fan was caught off guard. Clearly, they thought this was impossible.
Lin Shu Fen said, "The year I gave birth to you, I was being hunted by hidden sects. So, I could only entrust you to your uncle, Lin Zhen Xiong, to raise. And for your safety, I specifically instructed your uncle not to tell you about your origins!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian Xin's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Clearly, she could not accept this reality.
However, Lin Shu Fen believed that what needs to be known will eventually be known, so there was no harm in telling Lin Tian Xin in advance.
"Child, I know this is very unfair to you, but I also wanted to keep you by my side. Unfortunately, given the circumstances back then, I couldn't do that. If I had kept you by my side, you might have lost your life long ago!"
What Lin Shu Fen said was the truth. Back then, even she alone was almost killed by the hidden sects.
If she had brought Lin Tian Xin, it would have meant the loss of two lives.
At this moment, Lin Tian Xin asked unwillingly, "Then what about my father? Why didn't he intervene? Or is he already..."
Lin Shu Fen immediately said, "Don't be silly. Your father is alive and well, but at that time, he violated his family's orders by marrying me in the mortal world, so he was taken back by his family long ago!"
"Does that mean Uncle... oh no, Father-in-law is also from a hidden sect?"
Yun Fan asked curiously.
Lin Shu Fen shook her head. "I don't know, because he never told me. He just told me not to worry and that he would convince his family sooner or later and come to pick us up. Unfortunately, I haven't heard from him all these years. However, I know that he is powerful and cannot possibly die!"
This was Lin Shu Fen's confidence.
"What is his name?"
Yun Fan asked curiously.
"Jiang Wen Tian!"
Lin Shu Fen answered directly.
Hearing this, Yun Fan's expression changed. Because he knew that there seemed to be no one surnamed Jiang among the hidden sects. Could it be that Jiang Wen Tian came from those transcendent families?
This was clearly unlikely.
Perhaps he was just ignorant. It was also possible that Jiang Wen Tian truly came from a hidden sect.
To avoid upsetting Lin Shu Fen, Yun Fan quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Auntie, why were you being chased by hidden sects?"
He glanced at Lin Tian Xin and saw that she was looking down, silent. He knew that Lin Tian Xin had not yet come to terms with it, as it would take time.
Hearing this, Lin Shu Fen said, "It's a long story, but I stole treasures from the hidden sects back then just to cure Tian Xin's illness!"
"I understand!"
Yun Fan understood, and the doubts he had harbored were finally resolved.
No wonder Lin Tian Xin had the Profound Yin physique. Logically, she should have died within a few years of birth, at most by the age of five.
But Lin Tian Xin was still alive and well, and there were no signs of recurrence in her youth, only appearing after she became an adult.
So, it wasn't that Lin Tian Xin was lucky, but Lin Shu Fen's doing.
Even he, in his youth, had an abnormally powerful physique, yet he was tormented to the brink of death by the Primordial Yang physique.
If not for Master's help, he probably wouldn't have lived to adulthood. This showed that the treasures Lin Shu Fen stole from the hidden sects were no ordinary things.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have pursued her to the death.
At this moment, Lin Shu Fen said, "I'm going to the Hell Organization to avoid implicating you. Tian Xin, forgive me!"
"No, I don't want you to go!"
Lin Tian Xin grabbed Lin Shu Fen's arm at this moment.
Yun Fan said, "Auntie, don't worry. Even if they know you're back, there's nothing to fear!"
He was already at odds with the hidden sects, so this matter with Lin Shu Fen wouldn't make much difference.
Lin Shu Fen shook her head. "This matter is not that simple, Yun Fan. Although I believe in your strength, I can't implicate you into a premature war with the hidden sects!"
"Also, I have no losses by going to the Hell Organization. When you are fully grown, I will return to help you!"
Seeing her determination to leave, they didn't try to persuade her further, as it was indeed not the right time.
After that, the two of them came out to see Lin Shu Fen off.
Of course, Lin Zhen Xiong was also there.
"Sister, take care!"
"Mmm! Brother, you've worked hard!"
Lin Shu Fen left without hesitation, but the moment she turned away, she was already in tears.
Clearly, everything was unspoken.
At this moment, Lin Zhen Xiong comforted her, "Tian Xin, don't be sad. You'll be reunited soon!"
"Mmm! Dad!"
Lin Tian Xin said resolutely.
Lin Zhen Xiong was pleased. He didn't treat Lin Tian Xin as a niece, but as his own daughter.
...
Not long after Lin Shu Fen left the Lin family, several figures began to track her in secret.
Suddenly, Lin Shu Fen's eyes flashed with a murderous intent. It seemed she couldn't escape the notice of the hidden sects after all. They had arrived.
