"What? You don't believe me? "Cui Ziwen asked with a smile when he saw that Ye Fan was silent for a long time.
"I believe you," Ye Fan answered honestly. "If Master Cui wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have hit my chest with that gold coin just now."
"Haha." Cui Ziwen smiled and nodded. "I saw that you were surrounded by auspicious Qi, so I thought that you must be wearing an invulnerable treasure robe. So, I tested it with a little force, and I didn't expect it to work."
When Ye Fan heard this, his heart trembled. The words "use a little force" came out of Cui Ziwen's mouth as if it was an understatement. This made Ye Fan unable to accept it. If a little force was able to send him, who had ninety percent of his spiritual energy, flying, then what if a little force was used? Wouldn't he turn into ashes?
"Master Cui, since you're not here to kill me, why are you blocking my way?" Ye Fan asked.
"I'm not blocking you. I just happened to bump into you." Cui Ziwen smiled.
"Bumped into you?"
"I'm going to visit an old friend," Cui Ziwen said. "When I was passing by this place, I saw a green shadow passing by in the clouds, surrounded by auspicious air. When I looked closely, I realized it was you, Young Master Ye. Therefore, I stayed behind and pressed the clouds to wait for you here."
"Waiting for me?" Ye Fan asked curiously. "Master Cui and I have never met before. How did you recognize me?"
"Hahaha …" Cui Ziwen laughed. "During the battle at the Ye family's ancestral home, your father, Ye Kong, defeated the head of the Cuiming Hall's guardians, Chi Yao. You defeated the Japanese expert, Hattori Chixio, alone. Of course, I recognized you and your father."
"My father defeated Chi Yao. Doesn't Master Cui want to avenge him?" Ye Fan asked.
"Hmph." Cui Ziwen sneered. "If that b * stard could really get the Weaponsmithing Manual, I wouldn't have sent him."
"What?" Ye Fan understood the meaning behind Cui Ziwen's words and hurriedly asked, "Master Cui, are you saying that you sent Chi Yao to the Ye family's ancestral home despite knowing that he would be defeated?"
"I didn't have a choice." Cui Ziwen put his hands behind his back and looked up at the Ming Yue in the sky. "Matsumoto Takeyoshi has one of my gold coins, so I can't just send him away. Sending the head of the four guardians is also an explanation to Matsumoto Takeyoshi. That b * stard didn't disappoint me. He actually disappeared after the battle at the Ye family's residence. Hmph. "Cui Ziwen sneered." He has a guilty conscience. "
"Master Cui, are you so sure that the expert that Matsumoto Takeyoshi sent to the Ye family's ancestral home that day won't succeed?" Ye Fan couldn't believe it. After all, Kuju Junichiro had already cultivated six tails. If not for the appearance of Ye Ancestor Ye Ming, the three of them would have been dead.
"Hehe," Cui Ziwen chuckled after hearing Ye Fan's explanation, "With the Ye family cultivator standing guard at the top of the Agony Hawk Peak, it would be pointless for anyone to go."
"You know him?" Ye Fan asked Cui Ziwen in surprise.
Cui Ziwen nodded, then shook his head.
Ye Fan saw Cui Ziwen shaking his head and nodding his head. He didn't understand what Cui Ziwen meant.
"I've passed by the peak once," Cui Ziwen said. "However, I didn't see his face. When I looked down from the clouds, all I saw was a red light shrouding the peak. I thought that he didn't want me to see him, so I didn't force him."
"I see." Ye Fan changed the topic. "I saw that Master Cui also has a black bell. Other than the color, it's exactly the same as the white bell in my hand. I wonder what this bell is used for?"
"Why? Didn't the friend who gave you the bell tell you? "Cui Ziwen asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head.
"It seems that the time isn't right yet," Cui Ziwen said. "Now is not the time for you to know. When the time is right, you will naturally know the mystery of this bell."
"Master Cui, can you tell me?" Ye Fan asked.
"Haha," Cui Ziwen laughed. "Heaven's secrets can't be revealed. You don't have to ask."
"In that case, why was Master Cui waiting for me?" Ye Fan went straight to the point.
"Of course I was waiting for you," Cui Ziwen said. "I have a piece of bad news for you."
"Bad news?" Ye Fan frowned. "What bad news?" To be honest, he hadn't heard any good news since his beloved wife, Fujiwara No Chiko, got into trouble.
"It's about your wife, Fujiwara No Chiko," Cui Ziwen said.
"Chiko?" Ye Fan hurriedly asked. "What happened to Chiko?"
"I recently received news that Matsumoto Takeyoshi's only son, Matsumoto Taro, who is the Minister of War, Zhou Dao, will get married on the 10th of next month." Cui Ziwen paused for a moment before continuing, "The bride is none other than your wife, Fujiwara No Chiko."
After Ye Fan heard Cui Ziwen's words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body swayed, and he almost fell from the sky.
This news was like a nightmare to him. He felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart, and his liver and intestines were being cut into pieces. He felt as if his heart was being pierced by countless steel needles at the same time. Remorse, anger, self-blame, guilt, all sorts of feelings, and he was in so much pain that he wished he was dead.
Cui Ziwen looked at Ye Fan's pale face and did not speak. He had lost his master before, so he knew what it felt like to lose a loved one. The young man in front of him might feel even worse than losing a loved one. His beloved wife did not recognize him, and instead married the son of his enemy. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to bear such a blow. He quietly looked at Ye Fan, waiting for him to calm down. The two of them floated in the air like this, and neither of them spoke.
"Is this news reliable?" Ye Fan's eyes stared straight, and he opened his mouth to break the silence.
"Look at this." Cui Ziwen said as he took out a red invitation card and handed it to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took the red invitation card with trembling hands.
The invitation card was made of luxurious materials, and the edges were sealed with gold foil. The gilded mandarin ducks on the cover were vivid and lively, and it looked very festive. The red "Xi" character on the cover was even more eye-catching. But in Ye Fan's eyes, this was not an invitation card, but a sharp knife that stabbed straight into his heart.
He opened the invitation card. The handwriting inside was strong, but it did not lose its elegance. One look and you could tell it was written by a famous person. He saw the following words:
Respectfully inviting Cuiming Hall's Master Cui to come to my humble abode on the tenth day of the third month, and attend my cousin Ruoli's wedding ceremony. Please condescend to come.
Zhou Dao, Zhou Ruoli
After Ye Fan finished reading, he closed his eyes and looked up to the sky. He took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
"Senior, where is the location?" After a long time, Ye Fan spoke.
"It's still the same place." Cui Ziwen said.
"Thank you, Master Cui." Ye Fan bowed his head and bowed to Cui Ziwen.
"No need to be so polite." Cui Ziwen helped Ye Fan up and said, "This is all I can help you with. Whether or not we can save Fujiwara No Chiko depends on you. "
"Forgive this junior for taking the liberty to ask," Ye Fan cupped his hands and bowed towards Cui Ziwen, "Can my wife still be saved? Is there a savior in this calamity in her life?"
"Hahaha …" Cui Ziwen looked up to the sky and laughed, "Aren't you her savior?"
"But …"
"This is heaven's secret, and also the fate of the two of you." Cui Ziwen reached out and patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, "Everything has its own destiny. You don't have to be sad, just do your best. "
Ye Fan nodded after hearing this. Qing Chenzi said that whoever started the trouble should end it. Cui Ziwen said that the key to everything was himself. Although Ye Fan didn't fully understand, there was one thing he was sure of, and that was that his beloved wife Fujiwara No Chiko was not hopeless.
"And this white bell of yours." Cui Ziwen continued, "I advise you not to show it to others so as to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble. When the time is right, someone will naturally tell you the secret of this bell."
"This junior will remember." Ye Fan said.
"Okay." Cui Ziwen nodded and said, "What I said to you today, don't mention it to anyone except the two of us."
"This junior will remember." Ye Fan said as he handed the invitation back to Cui Ziwen. Cui Ziwen waved his hand, "I have no use for this thing, you can deal with it yourself."
"I wonder if senior will be present on the 10th of next month?" Ye Fan asked.
"I can't directly oppose Matsumoto Takeyoshi for the time being," Cui Ziwen said, "I will naturally be there on the 10th of next month."
"What? Does senior also have a grudge against Matsumoto Takeyoshi? "Ye Fan faintly understood the meaning behind his words.
"It's inconvenient for you to know about this, and it won't do you any good." Cui Ziwen said to Ye Fan, "Why are you asking me if I will be there?"
"To be honest," Ye Fan said to Cui Ziwen, "I want to forcibly rescue Chiko during the wedding ceremony on the 10th of next month." He really couldn't wait any longer. There was less than a month until the 10th of next month. As the saying goes, a long delay means trouble. He was afraid that if he waited too long, something would go wrong. Therefore, he came up with a bold and direct method, which was to snatch her! No matter what, he had to snatch Fujiwara No Chiko back first, and then slowly think of a way.
This method was originally his last resort. Unless it was a last resort, he wouldn't use this method. After all, Fujiwara No Chiko's cultivation was not low. He was afraid that he would accidentally hurt his beloved wife. However, now that things had come to this point, he couldn't care so much anymore.
The reason why Ye Fan asked Cui Ziwen if he would be there next month was very simple. If he caused a ruckus at the wedding, he would definitely have to fight with Taro Matsumoto and Zhou Quan. Both of their cultivation were not low. If Cui Ziwen was there, Ye Fan was afraid that Matsumoto Takeyoshi would ask Cui Ziwen for help. This would put Cui Ziwen in a dilemma. If he helped, he wouldn't have the heart to do it. If he didn't help, he would embarrass Matsumoto Takeyoshi. If he didn't help, it would make Matsumoto Takeyoshi suspicious of Cui Ziwen. Therefore, Ye Fan directly told Cui Ziwen his plan and wanted to see what countermeasures he had.
