"Where are we going now?" Lin Fan asked Ye Qing Huan who dragged him out early in the morning.
Ye Qing Huan just said with a teasing smile on her face, "A date."
There were three dark lines that appeared on Lin Fan's forehead when he heard this, but he didn't ask anything else.
Yesterday was a rest day after what had happened at the black market auction, but it was a fact that there wasn't much time before the Divine Blood Fruit appeared.
They had been here for almost a week now and there would only be around another week before the Divine Blood Fruit appeared. So they had to make the best of their time and do as much as they could to increase their chances of obtaining the Divine Blood Fruit.
That meant that they had to do as much as they could to sabotage the four sects that had been sent before the Divine Blood Fruit appeared.
It wasn't that Lin Fan doubted that Ye Qing Huan was doing this after what had happened at the black market auction.
He knew that she had already obtained plenty of information and had devised her own method of messing with the four sects.
It was the part where she kept quiet and kept teasing him instead of telling him what she was doing that he wished would change.
He did want to know at least where they were going and what they were doing.
But Ye Qing Huan didn't say a single thing as she dragged him out of the inn while holding his arm.
The two of them just continued down the street until they reached the gates of the town.
It took no time at all for them to leave through the gates, but Lin Fan was even more confused by this. He had no idea why Ye Qing Huan suddenly wanted to leave the town like this.
Once they were out of the town, Ye Qing Huan finally let go of Lin Fan's arm.
It seemed that they were finally going to do something, but he had no idea what she was planning to do or where she was taking him.
However, the reason that she let go was so that they could move faster.
They could only move so fast if she was holding his arm like that.
After letting go, Ye Qing Huan waved her hand at Lin Fan and said, "Follow me."
Without even waiting to see if he would follow or not, she just dashed out into the forest that was outside of the town.
Lin Fan stood there looking at her in a daze for a few seconds, but seeing that she was about to disappear into the trees, he had no choice but to follow her.
As he followed her, he started to put more and more effort into chasing after her.
That was because Lin Fan found that it was becoming harder and harder for him to follow Ye Qing Huan. It was already hard in the beginning, but it was just that she was too fast for him and he needed to put more effort to catch up as time passed.
When she finally stopped, he was completely out of breath.
Even though he was a cultivator and had a strong physique, he found that Ye Qing Huan was even stronger than him.
Well, this wasn't something that he was surprised by since he knew what her background was. He was just surprised that she was so fast and so durable, more so than him who had a special physique to rely on.
No, she also had a special physique, didn't she?
"The Unfettered Sect, that is who the Tang Family works for."
The moment that Lin Fan heard this, the hand that had been raised to grab her shoulder came down.
It seemed like he had been wrong about Ye Qing Huan.
There was a reason why she was doing all of this.
Though he would have preferred that she did something more discreet, there was at least some reasoning behind what she was doing.
"So what are you trying to stop them from getting this time?" Lin Fan suddenly asked this question, but he never would have expected the answer that he received.
"Nothing at all, I'm just messing with them." Ye Qing Huan said with the same teasing smile.
"Huh?" A shocked look appeared on Lin Fan's face when he heard this.
He looked carefully at Ye Qing Huan, trying to figure out if she was being serious or not.
However, he just couldn't figure out what she was thinking because of the expression on her face. The way that she looked at him with that teasing smile made it impossible to figure out what she was thinking.
So he had no choice but to take it at face value.
Lin Fan was trying to figure out a deeper reason for what Ye Qing Huan had said.
"So you're trying to make it seem like another one of the sects is attacking them to make them distrust the other sects?"
That was the only explanation that Lin Fan could think of.
That was the only thing that he could think of that could even remotely make sense.
But Ye Qing Huan shook her head to show that this wasn't what she was doing.
Instead, she said, "I'm just stalling them here while other things are being prepared."
"Other things?" Lin Fan asked in a confused voice.
"That's right. They are here for something, but they aren't the only ones. If I'm going to do this, I should take care of them at the same time to spare myself the effort." Ye Qing Huan said with the same smile on her face.
Lin Fan was confused at first since he didn't understand what she meant by this.
But seeing the look on Ye Qing Huan's face and thinking about what she said, he slowly began to put the pieces together.
"Is it the Golden Temple or the Moon Flower Sect?"
The smile on Ye Qing Huan's face became wider when she heard this as a look of appreciation appeared in her eyes.
She was happy to see that he understood what she was implying this quickly, but that didn't mean that she would tell him everything.
All this time, she had been keeping things from him and now wasn't an exception.
So Ye Qing Huan just said with the same teasing smile, "It's a secret for now, you'll find out later."
Bitterness filled Lin Fan's face the moment that he heard this.
