From the beginning to the end, Akatsuki did not speak. Even when Ye Fan told her to stand firm before flying, Akatsuki only nodded.
Although she was wearing a mask, Ye Fan could still guess that under the mask, there must be an angry expression.
"Are you cold?" Ye Fan was the first to break the silence.
After all, he was the one who lied to Akatsuki first. This was the truth.
"I'm not cold." Akatsuki calmly replied.
"I went to the Sishui River last night to look for the cauldron." Ye Fan said.
Since he had already thought about how to deal with Matsumoto Takeyoshi, there was naturally no need to hide it from Akatsuki.
"If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Akatsuki said to Ye Fan, "But please don't lie to me."
Akatsuki's words made Ye Fan instantly speechless.
If this woman was being unreasonable, he would have plenty of ways to deal with her. However, every single word she said was the truth. She was straightforward and did not have the slightest bit of scheming. This made Ye Fan feel as if he had done something wrong.
"Well, I shouldn't have lied to you. I apologize." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki, "I won't lie to you in the future."
This sentence was watertight.
Not lying to her and not telling her were not contradictory.
As long as Ye Fan did not want to say it, he could not tell her. This was not the same as lying to her.
"Really?" Akatsuki was indeed fooled.
"Yes." Ye Fan responded.
Under the mask, Akatsuki pursed her lips into a smile.
She did not know why, but Ye Fan's words made her feel very happy.
"You stayed in my room for half the night?" Ye Fan asked Akatsuki.
"Yes." Akatsuki's words were no longer cold.
"Why don't you go back to your room to rest?" Ye Fan asked again.
"I'm worried about you," Akatsuki blurted out.
Ye Fan frowned.
"I'm worried that you'll mess up the mission." Akatsuki also felt that her words were a bit inappropriate, so she immediately explained.
Ye Fan turned to look at Akatsuki.
"I was worried that your whereabouts would be discovered by those Daoists." Akatsuki explained again.
That was how lying worked. One lie required several lies to complete it.
"When I arrived, those Daoists were no longer there," Ye Fan said as he turned around.
"Did you make that loud noise?" Akatsuki asked.
"Yes." As Ye Fan answered, he regretted what he had just said.
If Akatsuki asked him if he had found the divine cauldron, how should he answer?
Tell her that the Divine Cauldron was at the Sishui River? What if she reported to Matsumoto Takeyoshi?
Not telling her? He had just promised her that he would not lie to her.
He couldn't possibly say that he didn't know.
However, what surprised Ye Fan was that Akatsuki did not continue asking. She did not ask Ye Fan why he had made such a loud noise, nor did she ask Ye Fan if he had found the divine cauldron.
Although Ye Fan felt that it was strange, since Akatsuki did not ask, he did not have to be troubled.
"Bufan -kun, can I ask you a question?" After a long while, Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan looked at Akatsuki, "What question?"
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi gave us three days, and only one day has passed," Akatsuki said to Ye Fan, "Why don't you go and see your wife? Is it because it's inconvenient for me to follow you? If that's the case, I can wait for you somewhere else and not disturb you. "
"You're thinking too much. This has nothing to do with you," Ye Fan turned his head and said, "I want to go back and see her, but I can't."
"Why?" Akatsuki asked.
"You know my current status very well," Ye Fan replied calmly, "If I go back and someone asks me, I won't be able to answer."
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Akatsuki fell silent.
She could not continue asking. If she did, it would only pull the two of them further apart.
It was very simple. She was one of Matsumoto Takeyoshi's people. She was here to help Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
As for Ye Fan, although he was on the same boat as Matsumoto Takeyoshi, he and Matsumoto Takeyoshi were on opposite sides. They were just using each other. They were fundamentally different.
Although she and Ye Fan were partners, they were on opposite sides.
"Is that Baihu of yours your pet? I see that it's inseparable from you everywhere, "Akatsuki changed the topic.
"Wu …" Akatsuki's words made Baihu in Ye Fan's hat bare its teeth and growl.
"She's my little sister, not my pet." Ye Fan corrected Akatsuki's words.
"Little … sister?" Akatsuki's words revealed a hint of surprise.
Ye Fan told Akatsuki about Incheon Daxiong's sneak attack on him, how he took away his beloved wife's soul, and how Xiao Zhao sacrificed herself and used her life's core to save him.
Ye Fan tried his best to calmly tell the story, but to Akatsuki, it was simply shocking!
"Bastard!" Akatsuki scolded after hearing Ye Fan's words!
It was very obvious that she was scolding Incheon Daxiong.
"Xiao Zhao is my little sister. In my heart, no one can replace her position." Ye Fan recalled the scene at that time and his eyes turned red.
Baihu stuck its head out from Ye Fan's hat and intimately rubbed its head against Ye Fan's cheek.
Ye Fan reached out his hand and stroked Baihu's head.
Looking at the man and fox in front of her, Akatsuki's heart suddenly filled with an indescribable feeling.
