Chapter 2189 - 2185: Stand Strong with Me

Lan Jing is still being forced by Lei Zu to search for Ye Fan’s whereabouts, while on Earth, the incident of Ye Fan’s disappearance is also escalating.

Especially among the eleven people harnessing the Array with Li Zhaojun, they are all anxious about the disaster, and upon learning of Ye Fan’s disappearance, they are at a loss.

Zhao Lina immediately went to the next room to find Li Zhaojun. Originally, Li Zhaojun was still talking with Min Shang, but after being interrupted by Zhao Lina, Li Zhaojun had to ask Min Shang to step aside as she faced Zhao Lina, who was about to cause trouble for her.

"...Now that Ye Fan is missing, we’re just ignoring it here on Earth? Is that the right thing to do?"

Zhao Lina questioned, "Ye Fan’s foundation is no longer on Earth but in the Pan Gu Secret Realm. Shouldn’t we enter the Pan Gu Secret Realm together to conveniently find Ye Fan? Without Ye Fan, relying solely on our strength, we can’t resist the disaster at all."

Li Zhaojun shook her head and said, "The matters of the Pan Gu Secret Realm will be handled by the people Ye Fan entrusted, and it doesn’t directly concern us."

"You say it doesn’t concern us, so it doesn’t? We are just waiting herelessly; with Ye Fan missing, we can’t focus on other things. If you continue to act indifferent like nothing happened, how can we feel at ease?" Zhao Lina said angrily.

"Calm down first. Even if Ye Fan is missing, it doesn’t mean there is any danger to him."

Li Zhaojun said, "Ye Fan’s cultivation has reached an unbeatable level, and even people like Pan Gu and Fu Xi can’t pose a threat to him. So, what are we worried about?"

"If no one can pose a threat to Ye Fan, why is he so reluctant to appear? His absence means he’s encountered an inextricable problem, and we must search until we find him." Zhao Lina kept nagging, intentionally trying to persuade Li Zhaojun.

"Yes, that’s the part we don’t understand. Ye Fan must have some compelling reasons not to appear. We should all understand him, and supporting him by following his prior arrangements is the best way to help Ye Fan. I believe you love him too; causing trouble now is not good for any of us." Li Zhaojun calmly said.

"But are we just not going to do anything, just wait blankly? Maybe Ye Fan is trapped and needs help? These are unsolved mysteries, and reaching conclusions too early is not a good thing. In my opinion, it’s better to go out and search. You are Ye Fan’s wife; you should have the best grasp of his whereabouts and the best chance to find him. As long as you say the word, I’m willing to do my part to find Ye Fan." Zhao Lina continued.

"It’s really not like what you imagine. I said I don’t know where Ye Fan is. Before he left, Ye Fan instructed us to follow the plan. We don’t need to find him, nor can we. If, as you say, everyone goes to find Ye Fan, what about the disaster? Even if we find him, it would be a mess, and Ye Fan would blame us." Li Zhaojun said helplessly.

"You’re right, but I don’t trust you. Others may follow your arrangements, but I won’t. Someone has to find Ye Fan; he needs help. You’re unworthy of being his wife, avoiding helping Ye Fan with rational excuses. I look down on you, and I pity Ye Fan." Zhao Lina said angrily.

"It’s simply impossible to communicate with you. I’ve made my point clear, and it’s up to you how you want to think. If there’s nothing else, I’ll see you out," Li Zhaojun turned and said, unwilling to talk to Zhao Lina any longer.

"You... you... you say you’re talking nicely, but your attitude is like this." Zhao Lina continued.

Li Zhaojun clearly showed she didn’t want to deal with this person anymore, no matter how the other spoke, not responding herself.

Min Shang, in the other room, couldn’t listen any longer. Hearing Li Zhaojun stop speaking, she knew Li Zhaojun was at her wit’s end and came out to Zhao Lina, saying: "I know you worry about Ye Fan. Actually, Sister is right; maybe her tone didn’t meet your expectations. Besides, if Ye Fan hadn’t left instructions before leaving, we really would have gone to find him. But following orders is more important."

Min Shang spoke gently, giving the furious Zhao Lina enough face. Seeing Li Zhaojun ignoring her, speaking with Min Shang could at least save face for herself, "Sister, I understand the reasoning you all said, but I am worried if we don’t find Ye Fan, standing idle here is not a solution..."

"The disaster is about to begin, and everything requires Ye Fan to preside over it. He’ll appear by then. As for Ye Fan being kidnapped, that’s impossible. No one can detain Ye Fan; you can rest assured." Min Shang said in a very natural tone.

Seeing this girl’s gentle manner of speaking, it wasn’t good to show impatience anymore, so Zhao Lina calmed down and said, "If there is news about Ye Fan, you must inform me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to focus on completing the Array!"

Li Zhaojun felt a surge of unexplainable anger in her heart. Clearly, it is her husband, yet this woman’s concern is excessive to the point of meddling. Even if there is something between her and Ye Fan, there’s no need to interfere to such an extent. If the situation wasn’t critical now, no further incidents could happen; otherwise, she wouldn’t want this woman to appear before her.

"If Fan returns, wouldn’t Sister tell you? We are all anxious now. Why do you want to put this pressure solely on Sister? Sister hasn’t done anything wrong; what she’s doing now is the right choice. If you continue to nag, it won’t help in finding Fan," Min Shang said.

Seeing this woman being so understanding, Zhao Lina had nothing more to say and, seeing Li Zhaojun still with a sour expression, felt uncomfortable. Talking to Li Zhaojun would be self-deprecating, so might as well leave and find news about Ye Fan herself. Zhao Lina glanced at Min Shang, turned, and left.

Li Zhaojun sighed long and hard. Zhao Lina isn’t an exception; the women around Ye Fan are all very worried about him. Dealing with such situations won’t be in short supply in the future, and her pressure is growing heavier.

"What should I do?" The usually strong Li Zhaojun spoke with a bit more vulnerability, a rarity on her. "With Ye Fan not returning, everything is out of control. If more time passes, surely there will be more things troubling us. Shang Sister, it seems you and I are to truly face some matters after Ye Fan’s departure... I hope you can support me through this."
