When Ye Fan had returned to his abode with Fairy Xuan Xueqi, he was looking quite depressed; it was because today he had finally seen beneath the true façade of Chen Yuyan.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi asked him, "So, do you find it interesting or not?"
Ye Fan looked at Fairy Xuan Xueqi and said bitterly, "Are you happy to see me in this state? Is this your purpose?"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi looked slightly startled with his response but she quickly said, "I just want you to focus on your cultivation, that's all."
Ye Fan asked her with a bitter look, "You have known about this for some time, am I right? Why didn't you tell me about it?"
There was an amused look from Fairy Xuan Xueqi as she smiled coldly, "If I have told you about your precious Junior Sister Chen Yuyan much earlier, would you believe me?"
Ye Fan was startled by her counter question.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi stated coldly, "I have also wanted to tell you about how she had caused the death of the trial candidate that was with her that day. But if I tell you about it, would you believe me? Maybe not. Even if I tell you about it now, you may not even believe me. But I am telling you now so that you can be your own judge after I have shown you what she is really am."
Ye Fan was quiet; it was because it was true that he would not believe in anything that the Witch Xuan Xueqi had told him.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi had suddenly said gently to him, "I am not rebuking you. This is a fact. As your protégé mistress, I have the duty to guide you. This Chen Yuyan knows that she has the Nine Yin Divine Body and she is trying to make the full use of it. You are only her backup."
Ye Fan said bitterly, "I am only a low level cultivator. She doesn't need to use me as a backup. Maybe there is not what we think it is…"
"You are still deceiving yourself?" Fairy Xuan Xueqi interrupted him coldly, "She has willingly allowed herself to be undressed by Fang De and you have seen it with your very own eyes. And do you think that you are her only backup?"
There was a startled look from Ye Fan, "I am not her only backup?"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled coldly, "I am afraid that you are not even in the top three. Believe it or not, it is up to you."
Ye Fan was stunned, "I am not even in the top three?!"
This was like a piece of thunderbolt that dropped upon him.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi hummed coldly as she turned around to leave but not before she said coldly to him, "Farewell and good night."
After she had left, Ye Fan was left alone in the night to ponder over his bitterness; he felt that he had been betrayed by Chen Yuyan.
At the same time, he was thinking of the Witch Xuan Xueqi and he was sighing softly to himself: Actually, she meant it well by telling me earlier rather than later. But does she know that I am trying to kill her instead? Maybe she is right. I should focus on my cultivation so that I can quickly increase my cultivation strength so as to kill her…

Three days later.
For the past 3 days, Ye Fan had been cultivating hard alone and he had made a small step improvement in his cultivations.
Today he had gone alone to the testing stone to check his improvement.
As he arrived at the place where the testing stone was, he was startled to see his Senior Sister Mei Yinxuan at the testing stone.
Mei Yinxuan was actually a beautiful and elegant maiden. She was no less beautiful than Chen Yuyan.
However, she gave a feeling of a icy beauty like Fairy Xuan Xueqi, unlike the bubbly and amicable Chen Yuyan.
Mei Yinxuan smiled when she saw him, "Isn't this my Junior Brother Ye Fan? You have come to test your cultivation strength?"
Ye Fan was startled to see that his senior sister was actually smiling at him and asking him questions in a friendly manner.
He quickly said, "My respects to Senior Sister Yinxuan. Indeed, I have come to test my cultivation strength."
Mei Yinxuan smiled alluringly to him, "Well good luck to you. How your practice with the Six Aura Swords so far?"
Ye Fan answered without any emotions, "It is a little too profound for me. I have to increase my cultivation strength first in order to delve deeper into it."
Mei Yinxuan smiled, "Your external profound art comes from our Elder Leader Fairy Xuan Xueqi. She is a genius cultivator and this Six Aura Swords is a accumulation of her cultivation knowledge. It won't be easy for you to cultivate it but it will be a good profound art. So, work hard and don't disappoint your protégé mistress."
Ye Fan slowly nodded, "Thanks for senior sister's instructions."
He has to admit that this Six Aura Swords is a most formidable profound art if the cultivator is willing to take the risk of learning it.
"Oh yes. Have you seen your Eldest Protégé Brother Fang De when you come here?" Mei Yinxuan had suddenly asked him.
Ye Fan was surprised by this question but he answered honestly, "No, I haven't seen Eldest Protégé Brother Fang De around."
Mei Yinxuan had a flustered look all of a sudden, "Eldest Protégé Brother Fang De seems so busy lately that I didn't get to see him for so many days."
From her look, Ye Fan guessed that his senior sister must have liked his Eldest Protégé Brother Fang De…
This had suddenly reminded him of Fang De and Chen Yuyan that night…
So he said, "Senior Sister, maybe Eldest Protégé Brother Fang De is having a practice with Junior Sister Yuyan. Why don't you look for him at her practice place?"
Mei Yinxuan smiled as she poked Ye Fan on his chest, "Rubbish! How dare you tease me? Everyone knows that I am Eldest Protégé Brother Fang De's betrothed. Also, I know his character best. He is not interested in any maidens except for me. Good try but I am not falling for your little trick. Heehee…"
When Ye Fan had heard her, he was shocked; it was because this Fang De was two timing the two maidens…
"Heehee, farewell Junior Brother Ye Fan." Mei Yinxuan chuckled softly. "I didn't know that you are also quite a humorous person."
Ye Fan stammered, "Yes… I am only teasing my senior sister. Farewell senior sister…"
When Mei Yinxuan had left, Ye Fan felt injustice for his senior sister and he began to heave a heavy sigh.
