Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Life and Death Maze
"Fanfan’s past? He never talked about it. Does he have so extraordinary identity and background?" Chu Biyao asked naturally, following Fire Phoenix’s words.
"Well, he hasn’t ntioned it, which is a good thing for you." Fire Phoenix smiled softly.
Chu Biyao had her interpretation and said with caution, "What do you an by that? Are you trying to say that you and Fanfan were indeed lovers in the past, had so history, and now you’ve co back to claim him, right? Let
tell you, save those useless excuses. Even if you say you bore Fanfan’s child, we wouldn’t believe you. Don’t even think about stirring up discord and creating a rift between us and Ye Fan. If you talk reasonably, we can discuss. If you are interested in Fanfan, perhaps I could even help you pursue him. Fair competition with my elder sister would be best. Let’s not resort to weapons; if you use force, my sister might not be a match, but she will not easily admit defeat. She will fight for her happiness."
"You are indeed clever. Beneath your apparent playful mischief, there lies great wisdom." Fire Phoenix praised, saying, "I suppose you’ve already guessed it. I’m not here with friendly intentions; that’s why you’re joking around, trying to distract , right? You don’t want to see
and Ye Fan, or ngyao, becoming adversaries, so you keep playing these little tricks."
Chu Biyao gave an awkward smile, realizing Fire Phoenix had indeed guessed her thoughts.
From the change in her sister’s expression and her own deductions, she had already guessed a rough outline. Although she didn’t clearly understand the inner relationships, she deeply felt the adversarial situation that no one wanted to see.
"You’ve guessed it right; you’re smarter than . Are you still going to make things difficult for us? We’re all won, so why make things hard for each other?" Chu Biyao smiled and said, "Why not take a step back, sit down, and discuss things peacefully? Why resort to fighting?"
"I won’t make things difficult for you, nor can I. That much you must know." Fire Phoenix gave a bitter smile and said, "But there are things that must be done and reasons that cannot be ignored."
Chu Biyao knew her words wouldn’t have any effect, so she looked to her sister and said, "Sister, you try persuading her. I’m at a loss."
"I don’t know your grievances, but I am sure of one thing: you don’t want to be enemies with him. I can feel it." Chu ngyao said lightly, "If possible, I still hope everyone can sit down and have a good talk. Although we’ve only t once, I’m sure he doesn’t want any unpleasantness with you. I don’t want to make things hard for him. If possible, I beg you to let it go."
"Don’t worry about it. We still have a chance to be sisters. Saying more might hurt our relationship." Fire Phoenix was slightly moved and took a deep breath, saying, "I know what to do and have the assurance. You don’t need to worry."
What ngyao said indeed affected her greatly. No matter how you look at it, it would be beneficial for ngyao if she beca enemies with Ye Fan. However, ngyao didn’t do that and stood wholeheartedly on Ye Fan’s side. This is a grand gesture, one that is rare for most won.
"Have you thought about the consequences?" ngyao continued to press, "If you two end up fighting to the death, that’s an outco no one wants. When we were in Ba Country, I could see you were happy to et Ye Fan, but it definitely wasn’t like the complicated expression you have now."
"Let’s not talk about heavy topics. He will arrive in about a quarter-hour. Before he arrives, I don’t want to discuss unpleasant topics." Fire Phoenix changed the subject and said, "Do you know, back then, those black-clad n around
regarded him as a godlike figure. Countless forces in the Underworld saw him as a godlike figure. Those black-clad n have a na: Shadow Guard. The Shadow Guard serves their master without the privilege to know the master’s identity or face. Now, the master is gone, and I am the new master. I want to tell you, his past was exceptionally glorious and captured the world’s attention. But now he willingly lives as an ordinary person. Perhaps it’s in his nature — tired of the bloodshed and seeking serenity."
As Fire Phoenix spoke about Ye Fan’s past, she ntioned so trivial matters, but they were all related to Ye Fan. She had never ntioned even half a word about this to Xiaolong, but now she spoke so much.
Chu ngyao and Chu Biyao listened quietly, without interrupting.
"Shadow Guard? No wonder we couldn’t even fight back. So they are the Shadow Guard?" Han Bihong and the ten won had a new understanding of those seemingly ordinary n in black.
Half a quarter-hour later, Leng i ca in to report, "Master, he has arrived. As per your instructions, I’ve asked him to wait."
"He finally arrived." Fire Phoenix stood up and moved outside.
"Sister, what should we do now? We can’t just watch and do nothing, right?" Chu Biyao said anxiously.
"What can we do? What are we capable of doing?" ngyao glanced at the scene outside the door, where the black-clad n entered one by one after Fire Phoenix left. She felt powerless, even with the assistance of the ten won, they couldn’t break through, rely struggling in vain, not to ntion that the ten won still lacked freedom.
"Damn Shadow Guard." Chu Biyao cursed inwardly, feeling dispirited.
She worriedly asked, "Sister, the relationship between Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix is complicated. What if they really fight? Ye Fan will be very upset and sad."
"This situation is beyond our help. They’ll have to resolve it themselves." Chu ngyao said with a heavy tone.
Ye Fan walked through the familiar Shadow Guard, led by Leng i, to a secluded room.
These Shadow Guards, once so familiar to him, now seed so foreign.
He recognized the attire of the Shadow Guard, could identify each person’s nickna, and even know their skills. However, among the Shadow Guard, no one recognized him.
Leng i went to fetch Fire Phoenix, leaving Ye Fan alone with a chaotic mind.
Such emotions were rare for him, but Fire Phoenix was a special case, and he had his concerns.
Eventually, Fire Phoenix appeared before Ye Fan, with Leng i and the Shadow Guard nowhere in sight.
"You’re here?" Ye Fan spoke first.
"I’m here." Fire Phoenix responded, then gave a bitter smile, "This is my turf, shouldn’t I be the one to ask that?"
"It’s the sa." Ye Fan replied.
"Is it?" Fire Phoenix chuckled.
