Time flowed like water. Zhang Wenchang was lethargic and didn't have the vigor of a young man. In fact, his face was old and no one would think that he was a young man.
"Boss, give me a jar of wine and four side dishes." Ye Fan walked into the simple and crude tavern.
Zhang Wenchang answered woodenly like a scarecrow without a heart. He mechanically brought over the jar of wine and quietly brought over the four side dishes without saying a word.
"This useless old man is like a dead man. He can't even say a word. Did you hear what I said to you just now?" The young man said with disgust.
"I heard." Zhang Wenchang's eyes were dim. He slowly cleaned up the dishes and wiped the table.
He came to this world without reason. He didn't have the talent for cultivation and was bullied by his peers. He spent the past few years in sadness and dejection, silently enduring all of this.
"What nonsense are you shouting?!" Ye Fan slammed the table and glanced at the young man.
"What does it have to do with you? We are talking to this old trash." Another young man looked over.
"Get lost. Don't disturb my drinking." Ye Fan glanced at him with disdain.
"Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant?" The young men all stood up and pressed forward together. All of them sneered.
"Sir, you should leave quickly." Zhang Wenchang said to Ye Fan in a wooden manner.
"You old man, get lost!" One of the young men stepped forward and pushed him. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Wenchang's temples were white like frost. He held onto the table and steadied himself. He silently stood to the side and didn't say anything. He was depressed and sad.
The young men came forward together and stared at Ye Fan with cold smiles on their faces. Someone pointed at his face and said: "Do you think you are the Yao Guang Saint Child or the Golden Wing Little Peng King?"
"Pa!"
Ye Fan covered the wine bowl in his hand and put his entire face inside. He couldn't even scream. He flew out and fell on the street. He grabbed his hands and legs and soon stopped moving. He directly breathed his last.
"Scram!" Ye Fan only had this one word, his expression incomparably cold.
The others were shocked. They didn't expect him to dare to do this. After a long time, one of them said, "Ancestor Ji Hui's great-great-grandson was killed …"
"How dare you! You even dare to kill the people of Ji Clan!"
Ye Fan didn't want to lower himself to their level, but when he heard Ji Hui's name, his expression immediately turned cold. "So what if I killed her?"
"You … just wait and see!" The few of them turned around and left.
"You dare threaten me?" The corners of Ye Fan's mouth curled into a sneer. With a clang, he snatched the sword from one of them.
"Pu!"
He slashed down, and a person's head was sent flying on the spot. The corpse fell onto the street, and at the same time, the corpse was sent flying. Not a single drop of blood was spilled in the tavern.
"You …" They were horrified.
"I told you to scram, but you're asking for trouble!" Ye Fan was infuriated. Seeing Zhang Wenchang being bullied in such a manner, and thinking that it was Ji Hui who was targeting him mercilessly, Ye Fan was furious.
"Pu, pu …"
He sat there and continuously waved his sword. Blood spurted out, and a few people were sent flying onto the street.
Everyone who passed by was dumbfounded. They kept quiet out of fear, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Who was this person? He killed the people of Ji Clan. What a temper!
"He is the king of the young generation of Zhong Zhou — Wang Chongxiao."
"It's him. I've seen him before."
Someone discussed in a low voice, and their fear deepened.
Ye Fan was as steady as Mount Tai, and his expression was calm. Before entering the tavern, he had turned into Wang Chongxiao. Even his temperament was the same, strong and cold.
In the past half a month, Wang Chongxiao had entered the Southern Region and fought everywhere. He killed at every turn. Many people of the young generation died at his hands. Some of the older generation were angered and wanted to come out and kill him.
Ye Fan felt that this young Wang of Zhong Zhou had too many enemies. He probably didn't even know how many he had. Even if he made a few more enemies, he wouldn't care.
"Why are you like this?" Ye Fan sent a telepathic message. He clearly remembered that before he left, Elder Ma Yun of the Jade Tripod Paradise had taken him as a disciple. His situation should have changed.
Zhang Wenchang was shocked and looked at Ye Fan in a daze.
"Don't be shocked. I am Ye Fan. You just need to speak in your heart."
Zhang Wenchang's lips trembled. He bent down and wiped the tables and chairs. He was afraid that he would be found out if he lost his composure.
"Leave quickly. They are waiting for you to come back. There are people watching in the dark."
Ye Fan revealed a cold smile. He didn't ask further and didn't want to implicate Zhang Wenchang. He used his divine will to calm everything down so that Zhang Wenchang didn't know anything.
Ye Fan was prepared to help him recover his youth after picking the Immortal Medicine. He didn't want to cause too much of a commotion now.
Zhang Wenchang was in a daze. Everything just now disappeared. He didn't know what had happened.
After three years, his situation wasn't good. He came here to open a small inn to make a living. To someone who came from the other side of the starry sky, this was an indescribable sorrow.
There was no lack of vitality in his eyes. He was like a walking corpse. Every night, he would lie on the rooftop and look at the starry sky. He missed his wife and the child he had never seen.
"I want to help you change everything." Ye Fan said to himself.
He left the small tavern and changed Wang Chongxiao's appearance. He did not want to fight for this young king of the Central Plains who went around challenging others. It was fine to make him a scapegoat.
Not long later, he saw the elder of Ji Clan's Dragon Transformation Realm rushing over. Naturally, he couldn't find anything and left empty-handed.
Ye Fan walked on the street aimlessly. Suddenly, his expression shook and he sped up. He saw that little girl again.
She was begging pitifully from a man with a big belly. In the end, she was scared stiff by his roar. She shrunk back and stared at her shoes with holes in them. She didn't dare to say a word.
Ye Fan walked over and observed her quietly. He wanted to find something different, but he was disappointed. His powerful spirit sense couldn't detect anything strange.
The little girl was frightened and didn't dare to beg again. She wiped away her tears and walked forward with her head lowered. There were a few times when she almost bumped into someone.
She was very afraid that she would be scolded again. She lowered her head even more and looked very pitiful.
Ye Fan couldn't watch anymore. He appeared in front of her and squatted down, looking at her gently.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose …" The little girl walked forward with her head lowered. She was in a daze and almost bumped into him. Her eyes were filled with tears.
"Don't you recognize me?" Ye Fan smiled and looked at her quietly.
"You are … that kind-hearted big brother." The little girl opened her eyes wide. She wiped away her tears and revealed a grateful expression.
Ye Fan rubbed her head and said, "Don't you have any relatives?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes and shook her head in confusion. "No, Nannan doesn't remember anything."
"You don't remember anything?" Ye Fan felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but ask in detail.
"Nannan will forget everything after a period of time. I don't have any impression at all. In a few days, I might not even remember big brother." The little girl lowered her head and her mood was somewhat depressed.
"Why is it like this?" Ye Fan was bewildered.
"Nannan doesn't know either. I seem to have forgotten many things. I don't know where I came from or where I'm going. Everyone else has relatives but I don't. Nannan is very lonely and sad." The little girl lowered her head and her eyes were filled with tears.
"I'll take you to eat, okay?" Ye Fan said gently.
"Okay." The little girl nodded obediently and revealed a hopeful expression. She said, "Nannan is very hungry. I haven't eaten for many days."
Ye Fan brought her to eat a sumptuous lunch and then carefully examined her. He frowned and couldn't find any abnormalities. Why was it like this?
This little girl was clearly not ordinary, but why couldn't he find anything? He was puzzled.
"Big brother … for you."
The little girl took out a small sparkling and translucent stone from her tattered clothes. Seven colors flowed on it. It was obvious that it wasn't an ordinary item.
"What is this?" Ye Fan was shocked.
"Nannan doesn't know either. Every time I forget the past, a small stone like this will appear. It can be eaten and is very sweet. It can make Nannan not hungry for many days." The little girl raised it high and gave it to Ye Fan to express her gratitude.
Ye Fan held it in his palm and carefully examined it. He couldn't see anything special about it, but this small stone that was the size of a knuckle was definitely not ordinary.
"Nannan, put it away properly." Ye Fan wanted to return it to her.
But the little girl kept retreating and kept shaking her head. She said, "Big brother, take it. Otherwise, Nannan has nothing to repay you with."
Ye Fan squatted down and sighed softly. Such a young child was talking about repayment. It really made one's heart ache.
The little girl was very stubborn. She stuffed the small sparkling stone into his hand and refused to take it back no matter what. Ye Fan could only accept it. He wanted to slowly ponder over what it was. Perhaps he could solve the mystery of the little girl's origins.
Seeing him stand up as if he was about to leave, the little girl lowered her head and looked at her little shoes with holes in her toes. Her little hand tugged at a corner of her tattered clothes and she said in an inaudible voice, "Big brother …"
"What's wrong?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"Can I … follow you?" The little girl was very nervous and revealed a hopeful expression. She lowered her head and whispered, "Nannan is very obedient. She can wash clothes, wipe the floor, and learn everything."
"I'm going to be busy with some things recently …"
"Oh, Nannan understands." The little girl's head was almost down to her chest. She slowly turned around and wanted to leave.
"I'm not finished yet. I'm very busy and I'm afraid I can't take care of you properly. If you can wait for a while, I'll take you away when the time comes. "Ye Fan naturally wouldn't let this pitiful little girl wander the streets again.
"Really?" The little girl suddenly raised her head. Her pure eyes revealed a luster and she looked very happy.
"Let's go. I'll arrange for you to stay in an inn and wait patiently for my return." Ye Fan chose an inn next to Zhang Wenchang's tavern.
"When I'm not here, you can go to that tavern to play and chat with that old man." Ye Fan warned with a smile.
"Nannan knows. I won't run around." The little girl nodded obediently.
"Zhang Wenchang misses the child he hasn't seen before. If little Nannan enters his life, I hope he can live a better life." Ye Fan muttered in his heart.
Five days later, the Ancient Flower Dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect finally took action and entered the forbidden area. Ye Fan knew that his opportunity was coming!
As long as the other side failed, it would be his turn to act. There were immortal medicines and nine dragons pulling coffins on the nine sacred mountains. He was looking forward to it.
Many people had arrived at the edge of the forbidden area. They were all anxiously waiting for the result. The people from the two great powers had already entered the forbidden area.
However, in just a few minutes, people cried out in surprise and looked up at the sky.
"The divine robe flew out!"
"That's right, it's the ancient sage's divine robe!"
A golden battle robe flashed with a piercing light and flew out on its own. It was in the shape of a human, holding a golden holy sword and carrying a golden divine bow on its back. However, no one was wearing it.
The peerless divine robe was sentient and flew back on its own. It had its own life. Fragments of the robe floated down from the inside.
"That's flying ashes!"
"Heavens, the person who entered turned into ashes so quickly. He no longer exists under the power of time!"
"The forbidden area is indeed terrifying. It can obliterate all experts in this world!"
At the same time, people were astonished. The ancient sage's peerless divine robe was too powerful. It wasn't damaged inside and flew out on its own.
"The divine robe is sentient. It feels threatened and doesn't dare to enter deeper. I'm afraid it won't be able to protect itself once it gets close to the sacred mountain."
Ye Fan was greatly reassured. Soon, it would be his turn to act.
