High up in the sky, Ye Fan stepped on the Auspicious Clouds and flew at lightning speed in the direction of the capital.
Ye Feixue was lying on Ye Fan's back with an excited expression. She listened to the sound of the wind as she watched the mountains, rivers, and earth quickly pass by under her feet.
The last time Ye Fan brought her home, the two of them were still under the clouds. Now that they hadn't seen each other for a few months, Ye Fan's cultivation had already reached such a realm. He could already soar through the clouds like the legendary immortals!
"Are you cold?" Ye Fan turned his head and asked Ye Feixue, who was lying on his back, as he urged the Auspicious Clouds beneath his feet.
Because Ye Feixue had a mortal body and didn't have any cultivation, Ye Fan used a trace of spiritual energy to protect Ye Feixue's body as he soared through the clouds. At the same time, he extracted a trace of heat from the Fire Snake's Dragon Pearl and transferred it to Ye Feixue's body through his palm. However, even so, he was still a bit worried. After all, they were high up in the sky.
"I'm not cold." Ye Feixue, who was tightly hooked onto Ye Fan's neck, replied loudly into Ye Fan's ear.
"Are you scared?" Ye Fan smiled and asked.
"I'm not scared." Ye Feixue smiled.
"Crazy girl." Ye Fan smiled.
"Brother Ye, what kind of friend is Akatsuki? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?" Ye Feixue asked.
When Ye Fan introduced Akatsuki to her, he only said that she was a friend of his and didn't go into too much detail.
At that time, the environment didn't allow her to ask too many questions. Now that they were alone, Ye Feixue asked the question that had been in her heart all this time.
"She's a friend of mine. She's helping me find the Nine Cauldrons," Ye Fan replied.
"Just friends?" Ye Feixue asked with her head tilted. Her big eyes sparkled.
"What are you thinking about every day?" Ye Fan turned his head and asked Ye Feixue with a smile, "If we're not friends, then what are we?"
Towards Ye Feixue, Ye Fan always had an indescribable sense of closeness and familiarity. It was as if she was his own biological sister.
Perhaps it was because of their blood relationship in their previous life. Ye Fan thought to himself.
"That's hard to say." Lying on Ye Fan's shoulder, Ye Feixue pouted and said, "From the way she looks at you, I can tell that she likes you."
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat as he spoke.
Ye Feixue's eyes were really sharp. She could tell at a glance that Akatsuki liked him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's true." Ye Feixue continued, "The way she looks at you is filled with tenderness and affection. Tsk tsk, even a block of ice would be melted by her. How can a big fool like you not see it?"
"You know quite a lot at such a young age," Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Of course." Ye Feixue said proudly, "I'm from the Ye Family. Looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse is a piece of cake. I can guess the other person's illness with just a glance."
"We're not patients. What can you tell?" Ye Fan laughed.
"Who says the two of you aren't sick?" Ye Feixue retorted. "I think the two of you are quite sick."
"What kind of illness do we have?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"Lovesickness." Ye Feixue covered her mouth and laughed.
Ye Fan smiled but didn't comment.
"Did you really not see it or are you pretending not to see it?" Ye Feixue asked when she saw Ye Fan smiling without saying anything.
"What do you think?" Ye Fan didn't answer Ye Feixue directly. Instead, he asked a question of his own.
"Oh..." Ye Feixue suddenly realized. "So you already knew how she felt about you."
"If I couldn't see that, then wouldn't I really be a fool?" Ye Fan laughed.
"So you're saying that you've been pretending all this time?" Ye Feixue asked Ye Fan.
"What else could I do?" Ye Fan replied with a smile.
"Haven't you considered taking a concubine?" Ye Feixue asked Ye Fan with a mischievous smile.
"If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe that I won't throw you down?" Ye Fan said as his body suddenly swayed.
"Ah..." Ye Feixue screamed as her expression changed when Ye Fan swayed.
"You, you, you... you're so bad!" Ye Feixue's face turned pale and she used her fist to hit Ye Fan's shoulder.
"You're already so old, yet you're still acting so crazy. Be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future." Ye Fan turned around and glanced at Ye Feixue with a smile.
"Tch, there are plenty of people chasing after me." Ye Feixue said arrogantly, "It's just that I don't care for them."
"Alright, when I see Senior Ye in a bit, I'll ask him to find you a good family to marry into," Ye Fan teased Ye Feixue.
"You wouldn't dare!" Ye Feixue said with wide eyes.
"What? You don't want to get married? "Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"I don't want to get married." Ye Feixue curled her lips.
"You're at the age where you're experiencing the first awakening of love. Why wouldn't you want to get married?" Ye Fan continued to tease Ye Feixue.
"None of your business." Ye Feixue glared at Ye Fan and said in annoyance.
"Tell Brother Ye what you're looking for. When Brother Ye is looking for the Nine Cauldrons, he'll help you find one," Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue with a smile.
"No way." Ye Feixue said in annoyance, "You won't be able to find what I want."
"Oh?" Ye Fan turned to look at Ye Feixue with a smile. "What kind of brother-in-law do you want to find for me? Tell me."
"I want to find someone like you. Do you have one?" Ye Feixue, who was lying on Ye Fan's back, suddenly said this.
Ye Fan was stunned at first, then he smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" Ye Feixue asked with a red face.
She finally mustered up the courage to say this.
No matter how stupid Ye Fan was, he could understand her feelings.
"Why would you look for someone like me? Didn't you say I was a big idiot?" Ye Fan said calmly.
He already knew about Ye Feixue's feelings for him. He just pretended not to know.
"I like big idiots." Ye Feixue gently leaned her head against Ye Fan's back and stubbornly said, "I like them."
"Silly girl, Brother Ye understands what you're thinking. However, Brother Ye already has someone in his heart. I've let you down." Ye Fan got straight to the point.
This time, Ye Feixue, who was lying on Ye Fan's back, didn't make a sound.
Her hands tightly wrapped around Ye Fan's neck. Two streams of hot tears flowed down, wetting Ye Fan's white robe.
Ye Fan felt Ye Feixue's sobs, but he didn't open his mouth to comfort her.
At this time, crying wasn't a bad thing.
Ye Feixue tightly bit her lower lip. She trembled and silently cried, not allowing herself to make a sound.
"There's no one here. If you want to cry, then cry. Don't hold it in." Ye Fan calmly said.
"Wah ….." Ye Fan's words made Ye Feixue unable to control her emotions. She loudly cried.
Ye Fan's eyes were red. He silently looked forward and didn't say anything.
Rejecting Ye Feixue wasn't good for him, even though he only had Fujiwara No Chiko in his heart.
Ye Feixue cried for an entire half an incense stick's worth of time.
In reality, she already knew that Ye Fan only had his wife, Fujiwara No Chiko, in his heart.
But when Ye Fan directly said this to her, she still couldn't bear it.
"Finished crying?" Ye Fan turned his head to look at Ye Feixue, whose eyes were swollen like peaches. He pretended to be relaxed as he asked.
Ye Feixue sobbed and nodded her head.
"Calm down. I'll tell you a secret." Ye Fan said as he turned his head.
"Wh ….. What ….. secret?" Ye Feixue sobbed as she asked Ye Fan.
"Didn't you tell me before that your ancestor was called Bufan Ye? He saw through the world of mortals in his teens and became a monk. After that, he disappeared without a trace?" Ye Fan calmly asked as he activated the Auspicious Clouds beneath his feet.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ye Feixue used her sleeve to wipe her tears. She stopped crying and asked Ye Fan.
"I'll tell you the truth. I am the reincarnation of your ancestor." Ye Fan said as he turned his head to look at Ye Feixue.
"What ….. What did you say?" Ye Feixue's mind went blank for a moment. "You are Bufan Ye's reincarnation ….. reincarnation …."
"Do you still remember the crescent moon birthmark on my back?" Ye Fan asked Ye Feixue.
Ye Feixue nodded.
The last time she treated Ye Fan in the cave, she saw the crescent moon birthmark on Ye Fan's back with her own eyes.
"You also said that your ancestor's older brother also ran away from home and left without saying goodbye?" Ye Fan continued to ask.
Ye Feixue nodded her head again.
She did say this to Ye Fan.
"Did you tell me the name of your ancestor's older brother?" Ye Fan continued to ask.
Ye Feixue shook her head.
She remembered very clearly that she didn't say her ancestor's name.
"Alright then, I'll tell you. In my previous life, I was your ancestor, Bufan Ye." Ye Fan said seriously to Ye Feixue, "And the person who ran away from home was my older brother in my previous life, Ye Qiu!"
This sentence made Ye Feixue instantly flabbergasted. She was stunned!
Ye Fan was absolutely right. Her ancestor's name was indeed Ye Qiu!
Ye Fan, Bufan Ye, the crescent moon birthmark, Ye Qiu's ancestor …..
All of these proved one thing.
Ye Fan's previous life was indeed her ancestor, Bufan Ye!
"Do you believe me now?" Ye Fan asked Ye Feixue with a smile.
"You … You really are … Ancestor Ye's reincarnation?" Ye Feixue asked in shock.
Although the truth was right in front of her eyes, she still didn't dare to believe it.
"Why would I lie to you?" Ye Fan turned his head with a smile.
The reason why he told Ye Feixue this was to make Ye Feixue feel better.
After all, they were related by blood in their previous lives.
After Ye Feixue found out about this, perhaps it would make her feel less attached to him.
"Why didn't you tell me back then? Why did you have to tell me now? "The exceptionally smart Ye Feixue guessed Ye Fan's intentions.
"I … I …." Ye Fan was stumped by Ye Feixue's sudden question. He couldn't answer a single word.
"I don't care who your reincarnation is. I just know that you're my Brother Ye," Ye Feixue leaned her head against Ye Fan's back again and said with red eyes.
Ye Fan helplessly shook his head and bitterly smiled.
Feelings really couldn't be forced. Even though he revealed his previous life's identity, Ye Feixue was still stubborn.
"Did you tell Akatsuki what you just said to me?" Ye Feixue asked quietly with her face pressed against Ye Fan's back.
"No," Ye Fan replied.
"Why?" Ye Feixue asked.
"Maybe the time isn't right," Ye Fan sighed and said, "But that day will come."
