and gently stroked her hair.After a moment, Luo Xueyan’s sobs subsided. She raised her head, glanced at Si Kong Yanran with vacant eyes, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's whine, “Yanran, is..."Xiaofan, can you do me a favor, grandson" Ye Benkong suddenly seemed much older.

"What's the matter Grandpa, just tell me." Ye Fan said.

Yeben Kong took out a jade lock from his bosom and gave it to Yefan, saying: "This is half of the jade lock that Xiaohua gave me back then. The other half is in Ye Wudao's hands. When she left that year, she told us that whoever could find her first and give her the jade lock in their hand, she would return to that person's side..."

Ye Fan was stunned as he took the half jade lock. It felt incredibly smooth in his hand, clearly having been caressed countless times. He couldn't tell what material it was made of, but holding it sent a wave of coolness throughout his body, as if it contained infinite coldness. Ye Fan knew this had to be something priceless.

And on this half of the jade lock, a character 'Kong' was engraved. It's likely that the old man's half had the character 'Dao' engraved on it. Otherwise, how could they tell who belonged to whom

What puzzled Ye Fan was why Ye Benkong gave it to him. If the old man also had half a piece, then he should have helped the old man give it to Miao Xiaohua.

Ye Benkong seemed to see through Ye Fan's confusion and smiled: "After that year, Ye Wudao swore not to leave Lishan Mountain, and I would not leave the Ye family half a step. If Xiaohua hadn't come to find us, I'm afraid neither of us would have seen her again. Therefore, I had no choice but to entrust this matter to you. As for who you will give Xiaohua that piece of lock to, that is up to you..."

Ye Fan also felt a mix of emotions at once. It was obvious that Ye Benkong trusted him very much, to the point of entrusting such a matter to his enemy's grandson. How could he possibly disappoint him

Old man, even though I'm your grandson, you doing this behind my grandmother's back is quite disrespectful, so...

Ye Fan firmly took the jade lock and said to Ye Benkong, “Don’t worry, I will definitely find Miao Xiaohua and hand this jade lock to her!”

Ye Ben nodded lightly, then turned away gracefully and closed his eyes.

Is he sleeping Ye Fan suddenly had this strange thought. He had seen some people who could sleep even while standing. Could Ye Benkong be practicing this profound martial art

Ye Fan really didn't want to disturb him, but he had to speak up: "Grandmaster Kong... that is, where is Miao Xiaohua now"

"...Hong Kong Province..." The voice was ethereal and faint.

"Hong Province" Ye Fan was full of confusion. Beijing and Hong Province were separated by tens of thousands of miles. Could it be that back then, Miao Xiaohua had run to that place after traveling thousands of miles to escape them

Ye Fan still wanted to ask, but Ye Benkong was motionless, not even a breath.

Ye Fan was startled. Could this old man really just die like that

I rushed to his side and touched his nose. Fortunately, he was still breathing. It seems like he's in a state of deep meditation or something similar to it. Grandpa Kong is indeed a truly remarkable person! I wonder what kind of martial arts he practices

Ye Fan silently withdrew, closing the door gently. He knew that at this time, what Ye Benkong needed most was quiet.

The two grey-robed figures were practicing martial arts in the courtyard. They were practicing standing meditation, Ye Fan watched them with some surprise. These people... how did they seem so out of place with this era

The two Taoist priests only nodded at Ye Fan and ignored him, concentrating solely on their own cultivation.

Oh, these people seem to have wooden heads. How can there still be such out-of-touch individuals in the world

Look here, there are no televisions, no internet, and no entertainment whatsoever. How do they survive on a daily basis

Isn't everything boring

Ye Fan also learned from the ancients, clasped his hands together, bowed to them, and then strode out of the courtyard.

Walking out of this legendary ninth courtyard, Ye Fan took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the surrounding sky was wrong. Had he been inside for a long time

Took out my phone and took a look, dizzy, it was already 5 o'clock!

Well, I haven't even had lunch yet, but why don't I feel hungry

Could it be that time within this courtyard is not on the same level as outside

He remembered he should only be in there for an hour or two, how come it was already afternoon now Where did those missing hours go

Could it be a wormhole inside Ye Fan found himself amused by his own outlandish thought.

Huh Why doesn't my phone have signal here

Ye Fan looked at his phone strangely. There was no signal inside. He thought dejectedly, these people were simply too strange. They were isolated from the world, with no electricity, let alone internet. Could it be that they never used phones

Unable to figure it out, Ye Fan quickly ran out of the Ye family. At this time, his phone kept ringing, Ye Fan knew it was the sound of text messages.

On closer inspection, wouldn't you know it, there were over a dozen missed calls.

All of these calls are from Murong Xue. What's this girl so eager to find me for

Thinking about spending the night with this girl, Ye Fan's mouth curled into a smile, so he called Murong Xue, "Apprentice, miss your master"

"You want me dead Where are you Come get me," Murong Xue said coquettishly.

Since that night, Murong Xue's mind was always filled with Ye Fan's shadow. She didn't know why, although her relationship with Ye Fan wasn't that good, every time she interacted with him, she would unconsciously reveal an ambiguous expression, just like now, Murong Xue didn't feel anything wrong with her words.

Ye Fan said strangely, "Pick you up Take you where" Ye Fan thought to himself, "You wouldn't want me to take you to a... hotel room, would you If that's the case, then go ahead..."

"Murong suddenly became very angry and said, "Ye Fan, what day is it today"

Ye Fan grew even more puzzled, "Today seems to be the first day of the term... Also, today is World No Smoking Day... Oh right, today is also the third birthday of the old man's dog..." Ye Fan shouted excitedly.

On the other end of the phone, Murong Xue couldn't take it anymore. She shouted into the phone, "That's enough!"

Everyone in the office stared at her in astonishment. Why was Dr. Murong, who was usually so calm and composed, so furious today Who could have angered her so much

Feeling the strange looks around her, Murong Xue also felt a flush on her face. She lowered her voice and said, "My dad came back today and he wants to see you..."

Ye Fan only then realized. That day at Murong Xue's house for a meal, Zhu Mei had asked him to go to Murong Xue's house for another meal the next day, but he had forgotten about it. Now that Murong Xue mentioned it, he remembered. Besides, he really had something to do with finding the old dean.

"Wait for me, I'll be there soon." After Ye Fan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Thinking it over, she dialed another number. "A-Cheng Can I borrow your car I'm just not far from the Ye residence, I have an urgent need." sleep at night, the clothes you wear, every bite of food you eat, every sip of water you drink, and even every breath you take, which one isn't mine""You!"Xin Jie suddenly found herself speechless an...
