Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1601 - 1597: Persuading Li Zhaojun

Many things were known only to Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun; no one else could possibly know. As long as Ye Fan could reveal the secret hidden between Li Zhaojun and him, Ye Fan believed Li Zhaojun would trust him.

"Stop talking! I won’t believe you. Do you think by peering into my heart, you can fake Ye Fan’s appearance?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Li Zhaojun had completely lost trust in illusions. In her view, the person capable of creating illusions knew a lot about her life, and might have peered into the secrets in her heart, thoroughly understanding the little secrets between her and Ye Fan, and then using that to blackmail her.

Ye Fan felt a bit troubled at this moment; Li Zhaojun was still relentlessly pursuing him, closing in step by step. No matter how Ye Fan dodged, Li Zhaojun didn’t give him a chance to explain.

Xi He was extremely pleased, laughing loudly: "Ye Fan, see what you are capable of doing. When my cultivation is restored, Li Zhaojun will have no chance of turning the tables!"

Ye Fan’s anger surged. Since he couldn’t bring Li Zhaojun out of the illusion, he could at least bring Xi He into the illusion she created herself.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan understood what he had to do. Just as Li Zhaojun was attacking him, she suddenly found the person in front of her disappeared without a trace. While Li Zhaojun was in shock, Ye Fan had already left the illusion.

Li Zhaojun angrily said: "Still claiming it wasn’t to deceive me! Luckily, I had an inkling. Now I won’t trust anyone. I must destroy this illusion to escape!"

At this time, Ye Fan had returned in front of Xi He. As Xi He looked at Ye Fan in surprise, Ye Fan had already struck her to the ground with one palm.

"Master!" Su Nu felt a sense of relief seeing Ye Fan come out, as she indeed had no means to handle Xi He before.

Xi He asked, "Ye Fan, what do you intend to do?"

"What is there to do but send you in and let Zhaojun see you, let her know who’s guiding her step by step into the abyss, who’s using her love for me, leading her to gradually immerse herself in this illusion, and who made her doubt everything and everyone around her!" Ye Fan finished speaking, stretched out his hand, using Spiritual Energy to bind Xi He within. Xi He wanted to struggle, but found that after being injured, she was no match for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took Xi He through the space barrier created by Xi He, appearing in the illusion world.

Even with Xi He’s entry into the illusion, the illusion remained largely the same. Ye Fan directly took Xi He to the house where he had previously clashed with Li Zhaojun, their home in Hua Hai City.

"Zhaojun, I’ve brought the mastermind!" Ye Fan threw Xi He to the ground, and meanwhile Li Zhaojun was also scrutinizing Ye Fan.

"You... you haven’t left?" Li Zhaojun looked at Ye Fan with confusion. Hadn’t she already eradicated the illusion before her? How did he come back? Then, she looked at Xi He and asked, "Who is she?"

Ye Fan said, "You don’t recognize her? It’s her who made you believe that by changing the women appearing in the illusion with the Wheel of Time, you could change the final result, and allow me to return to normal, not becoming a world’s destructor. It’s also her who made you think that I doubted you, breaking your heart. This very woman, after you emerged from the time rift, imprisoned you in this illusion, and created all these illusory things to try to lull you here, because she wants to control me, making me her puppet!"

"Who is she exactly?" Li Zhaojun shouted.

"She is Xi He, an ancient cultivator. We met her before, and she also went by the name of Wu Yingzi. She did many deeds in the Pan Gu secret realm that were intolerable to the seven major sects!" Ye Fan said.

Li Zhaojun carefully recalled the name, finding it hard to remember, mainly because the memory block Xi He placed on her was profound, making it difficult to remember many past events.

"Li Zhaojun, you don’t need to try. You simply can’t even remember me," Xi He said smugly. "Just remember, the man before you is merely an illusion. You just need to kill him, and you can. You forgot how he deceived you?"

"Shut up!" Ye Fan struck Xi He on the back with a palm.

Though Ye Fan couldn’t contact Li Zhaojun in the illusion, Xi He was someone he brought from the outside world. Dealing with Xi He was easy for him.

Despite being struck, Xi He laughed crazily, feeling very pleased. Two people in love couldn’t be together, and this man was the one she wanted to utilize, whereas this woman was destined to stay in the illusion forever, making their relationship intangible.

"Ye Fan, I don’t know if you are real right now, but I know you are not the Ye Fan I’m looking for!" Li Zhaojun suddenly said, closing her eyes, refusing to look at Ye Fan anymore.

Ye Fan said, "Zhaojun, what is still holding you back? Don’t you believe I’m the person you love?"

"Impossible. If I were imprisoned, although Ye Fan would definitely come to rescue me, I don’t know who else to trust. If I believed you, I’d sink into this illusion forever and would never get out!" Li Zhaojun said angrily. "Is that what you hope to see?"

Xi He laughed, "You don’t need to trust him because he’s a liar."

Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun with a deep tone and said, "Zhaojun, you may choose not to believe I’m here to save you. You might believe I’m a villain or just an illusion, but I have to tell you, I’m real. I am here to save you, bringing Xi He to help you realize that I came to rescue you. In fact, why not think of it this way — whether I am real or not, as long as you follow your heart, even if you choose wrongly, you could still live a lifetime with someone who brings you happiness and joy. Even if self-deception indicates it’s only an illusion, if it fills your heart with satisfaction, isn’t that enough?"

"What did you say?" Li Zhaojun frowned, seemingly unable to comprehend Ye Fan’s words.

Ye Fan continued to explain: "No matter whether I am real, my feelings for you are genuine. Even if I were an illusion, if you follow me, I can bring you happiness. You need to believe in me so I can take you away from this world. If you don’t believe in me, I can take you to a place where no one knows us. Even if you live a lifetime with an illusory life, your heart would still be full and content, even if it turns out to be a yellow beam dream, what of it?"

Li Zhaojun thought carefully about Ye Fan’s words, suddenly feeling moved, as she’d previously talked with Ye Fan about the kind of life they wished to pursue together in the future, one that was simple and joyful.

Xi He didn’t expect Ye Fan to have such magnanimity, realizing that Li Zhaojun was becoming swayed by Ye Fan’s words. Hastily, she said, "Li Zhaojun, don’t forget there have been countless Ye Fans who tried to deceive you. They only want to gain your trust. How can you believe the nonsense spouted by those in the illusion?"
