"I did think so at first, but later I felt that it was inappropriate," Ye Fan said.
"Inappropriate?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked doubtful. "What's inappropriate?"
"If I leave Miss Yue on the shore, what if she encounters danger?" Ye Fan glanced at Akatsuki as he spoke. "That Yin Soul's movements are ghostly and her cultivation is extremely high. In addition, I wasn't sure if those Taoist priests had left at that time. If Miss Yue really fought with them, I wouldn't know at all from the bottom of the Sishui River."
Matsumoto Takeyoshi frowned and fell into deep thought.
He didn't tell Ye Fan that Lu Yuanshan and Xuanji were on his side. Ye Fan's explanation was reasonable.
Akatsuki looked at Ye Fan quietly and didn't say a word.
She couldn't tell whether Ye Fan was telling the truth or not. After all, Ye Fan was explaining to Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
However, she was sure of one thing. Ye Fan didn't want to harm her. If he wanted to harm her, he would have directly told Matsumoto Takeyoshi that she knew but didn't report it.
"Miss Yue, you should thank Ye Fan," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said to Akatsuki with a smile. "He's taking care of you."
At this time, Matsumoto Takeyoshi still didn't forget to matchmake the two of them.
"Thank you Ye Fan," Akatsuki nodded to Ye Fan.
"Miss Yue is too polite," Ye Fan said calmly. "I've been hiding this matter from Miss Yue. I hope Miss Yue won't take it to heart."
Akatsuki nodded again.
"You two are partners. In the future, you should interact more and trust each other," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile. "That way, you'll be able to cooperate well and complete tasks better."
"Yes," Akatsuki replied.
Ye Fan picked up his teacup and sipped his tea quietly.
"The two of you have completed the task well. Ye Fan's performance is even more remarkable." Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled and said to the two of them, "You must be tired after such a long journey. Go back and rest. When the others return, I will reward you according to your contributions."
"Thank you, Mr. Songmoto," Akatsuki stood up and nodded to Matsumoto Takeyoshi before she turned and walked out of the cabin door.
Ye Fan also stood up and followed Yue Hong Ji out the door.
"Their relationship seems to be progressing well," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile after the two of them left.
"What do you mean, sir?" the man in white asked.
"An exquisite mask and a gorgeous robe. Aren't these enough to tell you the truth?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled. "That mask is definitely not an ordinary item. How can their relationship be bad if they can give something like that to each other?"
The man in white frowned.
Just as Matsumoto Takeyoshi said, he was a blank slate when it came to matters between men and women.
"Do you think what he said just now is true?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi turned and asked the man in white.
"For now, I can't hear any loopholes," the man in white said. "But no loopholes and not being true are two completely different things."
"Send someone to contact Xuanji and verify whether Ye Fan is telling the truth. Also, instruct the Shadow Man lurking in Pengcheng to find out whether he went out alone or with someone else that night," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said to the man in white behind him as he sipped his tea.
…
"Whoosh …" Outside the cabin, the wind was howling and the rain was pouring down.
Ye Fan and Akatsuki walked side by side toward Akatsuki's berth cabin.
Three feet above their heads, a transparent semicircular bubble blocked the downpour of rainwater.
It was Ye Fan's Water Repellent Pearl that was working.
"Why don't you go back to your ship?" Akatsuki asked.
"The rain is too heavy. I'll send you back," Ye Fan said.
Akatsuki bit her lower lip and didn't say anything.
After a while, the two arrived in front of Akatsuki's berth cabin.
"I'm here." Under the roof of the sleeping cabin, Yue Hong Ji turned around and looked at Ye Fan.
"Have a good rest. I'm leaving," Ye Fan said as he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Bufan -kun." Akatsuki called Ye Fan from behind.
Ye Fan stopped and turned around to look at Akatsuki.
"Why did you do that just now?" Akatsuki mustered up her courage to ask Ye Fan.
"What about you?" Ye Fan didn't answer Akatsuki's question. Instead, he asked directly, "Why did you do that?"
Akatsuki was stunned.
She couldn't answer Ye Fan's question because she didn't know why she did that.
"You're new to the cloud path. You might have caught some cold. It's best to take a hot bath and drink a bowl of ginger soup," Ye Fan said as he turned around.
Whoosh! He tapped the deck of the warship with the tip of his toe and quickly swept toward the other ship behind the warship.
Under the eaves, Akatsuki stood there quietly and looked at Ye Fan's back in a daze …
After returning to his cabin, Ye Fan took off his hat and white robe and went straight to the bedroom on the second floor.
Baihu jumped down from Ye Fan's shoulder and ran in front of Ye Fan.
"Phew …" Ye Fan laid down heavily on the wooden plank and let out a long breath.
This trip could be described with four words: toiling for nothing.
Even though he found the location of the divine cauldron, he couldn't break its powerful enchantment.
Even though he was mentally prepared when he returned from Ziyang Temple, he still felt an inexplicable sense of loss when he couldn't get close to the divine cauldron.
