Ye Chen didn't want to take Yang Fan as a disciple because he simply didn't have the mind to mentor a disciple right now.
Moreover, Yang Fan's earlier address of "cousin-in-law" immediately made the sensitive Zhang Xinlan incredibly nervous, grabbing his arm tightly as if she feared he would fly away.
Zhang Xinlan had just forgiven Ye Chen for his mistakes, and now, being in a sensitive period, she really didn't want Ye Chen to have any further involvement with Su Binglan.
Ye Chen naturally knew what Zhang Xinlan was thinking, so he was even less likely to take on Yang Fan as a disciple—after all, his wife comes first!
As for the matter with Su Binglan, it would still require some twists and turns; if all else fails, he might just start an underground affair with this witch first.
Regarding these two women, Ye Chen didn't want to give up on either, although this was a very self-destructive thought.
