Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1620 - 1616: Ye Fan’s Incarnation

Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan, strictly speaking, are not considered Ye Fan’s women. Mo Xiaoyan has always regarded Ye Fan as her brother-in-law, and the relationship between them has always been entangled and unclear. But overall, Ye Fan maintained an ambiguous relationship with Mo Xiaoyan. He never said he wanted to marry this little sister-in-law, nor did he say he would give up on her.

This is mainly because Mo Xiaoyan looks exactly like Lu Xiaoman. With selfish desires, Ye Fan also wanted to make Mo Xiaoyan his own.

As for Tantai Wanrong, Ye Fan had no way to deal with the situation. Tantai Wanrong herself had feelings for him, but unfortunately, she couldn’t overcome her inner struggle. She always kept a distance from Ye Fan, sometimes close, sometimes far. She had previously said she would consider her relationship with Ye Fan, but later she simply left alone, hoping to sever ties with Ye Fan.

With Ye Fan’s rising status in the cultivation world, Tantai Wanrong can no longer completely sever her relationship with him. Even she had to admit she had feelings for Ye Fan.

Unfortunately, Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan’s cultivation levels are too low. They were easily sealed by Xi He, and now they cannot recognize Ye Fan at all, thinking of him only as an ordinary guest.

"Thirty million silver taels, that’s quite a price. Could it be that this mature and charming Tantai Wanrong is going to become today’s oiran?" said a glamorous woman with a smile. "If that’s the case, then Mo Xiaoyan will be the beauty that the guests present can enjoy. Are you willing to let such a tender and pitiful beauty be taken by others, instead of having her all to yourself?"

Ye Fan looked at Xi He and said, "How long are you going to keep up this nonsense?"

In an instant, the entire illusion seemed to pause for a moment. Ye Fan’s questioning voice towards Xi He was loud, but because he used elemental power to question her, no one in the illusion could hear his words.

Xi He kept her eyes closed, as if she hadn’t heard Ye Fan. Her meaning was simple: since you chose to oppose me and rescue them on your own, don’t talk to me about favors. I won’t help you. Even if you kill me, the answer would be the same.

The bidding in the palace continued. After Tantai Wanrong’s bid reached thirty million silver taels, someone else increased it to forty million. As for Mo Xiaoyan, the bid remained at twenty-seven million silver taels, with no further increases.

It seemed that the choice for oiran had been made. Just at that time, the glamorous woman on stage said, "It seems I need to show some charm, so you can appreciate Mo Xiaoyan’s allure. She is the most beautiful woman in the entire secret realm, having captivated countless noble young men... Now, let’s have a display of her graceful beauty!"

Saying this, the glamorous woman seemed eager to go over and remove Mo Xiaoyan’s clothes, so the audience could admire her figure.

Although Ye Fan knew this was just an illusion, he still couldn’t determine whether the illusion existed in some real-world space, as the current illusion was flawless. He even used the Tongling Mirror and couldn’t detect any loopholes in the illusion.

The Tongling Mirror remained calm and unresponsive.

Just as the glamorous woman attempted to approach Ye Fan, she suddenly felt a strong pulling force from behind. Ye Fan had made his move.

Xi He only mentioned that Ye Fan could not approach Mo Xiaoyan and Tantai Wanrong, or the energy planted on them would explode, leaving them without a resting place. However, nothing was said about Ye Fan making a move on others in the illusion.

With Ye Fan’s action, the palace was instantly tense. Everyone only saw the glamorous woman being pulled in front of Ye Fan, then held aloft by him with Spiritual Energy.

"How bold, daring to disrupt the rules of our sanctuary. You must have a death wish. Come, seize him!"

Ye Fan felt countless cultivators closing in from all directions. Their cultivation levels were all roughly in the Mahayana Realm or above. If it was before, Ye Fan wouldn’t have stood a chance against these people. But now, it’s different. Ye Fan’s cultivation far surpassed the Immortals after ascension. Dealing with so many Mahayana masters now was as simple as reaching into his pocket.

A group of masters lunged at him, yet they had no effect on Ye Fan. Instead, all were sent flying by him. They didn’t vanish like mere illusions, though; after being struck, some were injured, while others died on the spot, their bodies remaining on the floor.

"Stop!" As Ye Fan unleashed his fury, a voice came from directly above him.

The voice felt familiar to Ye Fan. Vaguely, it wasn’t unlike his own voice? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Then a man in black descended from the sky, slowly landing on the stage next to Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan. Although the person was masked and in black, Ye Fan couldn’t shake the feeling that this was his own doppelgänger. There were too many of his features in this person.

"Is it you?" The man in black glanced at Ye Fan, his expression somewhat puzzled, squinting slightly.

"Your Holiness!" Everyone present knelt in greeting when they saw the newcomer, including Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan.

The glamorous woman, still suspended by Ye Fan, pleaded, "Save me, Holy Lord, save me!"

With an effortless motion, the man in black seemed to drain the Spiritual Energy surrounding Ye Fan, rescuing the woman back.

The man in black looked at Ye Fan, and then at Xi He behind him. His expression was stern as he said, "Who are you, daring to come to our sanctuary and disrupt the rules here, and even harm my people?"

Ye Fan said, "Didn’t you recognize me before?"

"I’m merely curious; I don’t know you!" the man in black replied.

Since their voices were almost identical, even those present felt it was like one person talking to himself.

Ye Fan said, "I’m here to rescue them!"

The man in black glanced at Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan and said, "You intend to rescue them?"

"That’s right, but I cannot move directly to save them. Although I know you are merely a puppet created by someone, I must tell you, anyone who blocks me shall die!" Ye Fan declared.

The man in black seemed somewhat perplexed. He looked at Xi He, then at his hands and said, "What you say is beyond me, but I’ve been here so long, I can no longer recall who I once was or what I’ve done. It’s as if my entire existence was waiting for someone to arrive. Now, having seen you, I feel like I’m merely your doppelgänger. Perhaps, only by killing you can I find my true self!"

Ye Fan regarded the man in black as if seeing his most formidable adversary. This opponent was himself.

What logic Xi He used to create this "Ye Fan" remained a mystery. Ye Fan himself did not know, but he understood that to save Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan, he must destroy the other version of himself standing before him.
