The word 'then' could explain a lot of things.
This Matsumoto Takeshi was indeed a wily old fox. He was testing them.
"Then we left this morning." Akatsuki calmly replied.
Akatsuki's reply shocked Ye Fan!
It was clear that Akatsuki didn't tell Matsumoto Takeyoshi that Ye Fan went to the Sishui River in the middle of the night to search for the cauldron!
Why! Why would she do that? Why would she help him hide this matter?
Did Matsumoto Takeyoshi deliberately arrange for her to say this in advance? To confuse him and test him?
Or did his story move Akatsuki? Did it arouse her sympathy?
Ye Fan had a feeling that Matsumoto Takeyoshi seemed to have already guessed that he was searching for the cauldron.
As for whether Akatsuki was following Matsumoto Takeyoshi's instructions to confuse him and test him, he didn't know.
What to do? Ye Fan sipped his tea as if nothing had happened as he quickly tried to come up with a plan.
"Ye Fan -kun, is that so?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked at Ye Fan with a smile.
"No." Ye Fan spat out two words.
These two words made Akatsuki's heart tremble. She instinctively raised her head to look at Ye Fan!
It wasn't just her. Matsumoto Takeyoshi and the white-clothed man standing behind him all had a change in expression.
The atmosphere in the cabin immediately became heavy. There was absolute silence.
Only the sound of the wind and waves could be heard from outside the ship.
"After returning to the inn, I quietly went out by myself." Ye Fan played it down. "Miss Yue doesn't know." He raised his head to look at Akatsuki as he spoke.
Akatsuki's beautiful eyes widened. She didn't understand why Ye Fan wanted to expose her.
"You're going out alone?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked calmly. "What for?"
"Go to the Sishui River to find the cauldron." Ye Fan said.
His words shocked everyone.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi, the man in white, and Akatsuki were all shocked.
Akatsuki did not expect Ye Fan to tell the truth!
That night, when she heard the loud noise coming from the direction of the Sishui River, she felt something was wrong. She immediately went to Ye Fan's room to find him.
When she found that Ye Fan's room was empty and the windows were wide open, she understood everything.
Ye Fan obviously went to the Sishui River alone and didn't want to take him with him.
There was no need to guess. There was only one purpose for him to go to the Sishui River, which was to find the cauldron.
As for why he didn't take her with him, she didn't know.
But she was sure that Ye Fan didn't do this because he thought she was troublesome.
The reason was very simple. Ye Fan had reached an agreement with Matsumoto Takeyoshi to help him find the cauldron in exchange for Fujiwara No Chiko's three souls.
Ye Fan took her to find the cauldron openly. It was normal. There was no need to hide it from her.
He must have his own reasons for doing so. Akatsuki knew that he didn't hide it from her, but from Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
When Ye Fan took the initiative to tell her that he went to find the cauldron that night, she didn't ask Ye Fan why he didn't take her with him. She also didn't ask him if he found the sacred cauldron.
It wasn't that she didn't want to know, but that she couldn't know. Or it could be said that she didn't want to make things difficult for Ye Fan.
Once she asked, Ye Fan would tell her the result. And she had the responsibility to report this matter to Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
Not telling lies was one of her principles!
In order to not make things difficult for Ye Fan, and in order to not go against her principles, she chose not to ask.
This way, everyone was at peace.
But when Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked her what she did after returning to the inn, she didn't know why, but she chose to lie.
Since she was young, this was the first time she lied.
It was also the first time she lied for a man.
She didn't know the specific reason.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, she would never have thought that Ye Fan would expose her and tell her the truth!
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Matsumoto Takeyoshi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Did you find it?"
"No." Ye Fan shook his head and began to lie.
"No?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi frowned.
"I've searched all the rivers within a few hundred miles, but I still can't find it." Ye Fan pretended to be worried.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi stared at Ye Fan, as if to see if he was lying. He had seen countless people, so he could tell if the other party was lying or not.
"Did Miss Yue know when you left?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked Ye Fan.
Akatsuki's heart immediately jumped to her throat.
"No one knew when I left, including Miss Yue." Ye Fan said as he glanced at Akatsuki.
Yue Hong Ji's heart was finally relieved.
Ye Fan continued to drink his tea.
From the beginning to the end, other than discovering the divine cauldron, everything he said was the truth.
This method could be said to be foolproof.
Even if Akatsuki was following Matsumoto Takeyoshi's instructions to deliberately mislead the public, Matsumoto Takeyoshi could not find any loopholes.
Because Akatsuki did not know if she had found the divine cauldron.
No matter what, Ye Fan's words could be said to be flawless.
"Since you're going to find the cauldron, why don't you bring Miss Yue with you?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked the question that Akatsuki had always wanted to ask but did not.
"It's not that I don't want to bring her, but I can't." Ye Fan said as he took a sip of tea.
"Why?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked at Ye Fan and asked.
"There are two reasons." Ye Fan put down his teacup and said slowly, "First, if I want to find the cauldron, I have to go to the bottom of the Si Shui River. I'm not good at swimming, so it would be very inconvenient to bring Miss Yue along."
Matsumoto Takeyoshi nodded.
The water was not as deep as on land, and Akatsuki's cultivation was not as good as Ye Fan's, so it would be inconvenient for Ye Fan to bring her along.
