Time ticked away.
Ye Fan led the Dragon Slayers and underwent days upon days of training.
Meanwhile, in Yunzhou, Qiu Mucheng was occupied with the affairs of the company during the day. However, upon nightfall, her mind would always wander to thoughts about Ye Fan, worrying about the nitty-gritty details of his life.
I wonder what is he doing now? Is he taking good care of himself without me? Does he miss me? Is he having his meals?
Having been married to Ye Fan for so long, Qiu Mucheng knew very well that he was a person who didn't care about his meals or well-being.
Although there was once a time when Ye Fan would cook and prepare the meals on time every day, he had only done that specifically for Qiu Mucheng.
When Ye Fan was alone, he couldn't care less about himself. In fact, he could go on without eating anything for the whole day.
Even when his clothes were worn-out, he wouldn't even contemplate buying new ones.
After all these years, Ye Fan's care for her was thorough and meticulous, but often at his own expense.
He had bought pretty clothes and expensive gifts for Qiu Muzheng, be it the Mount Yunding Villa or otherwise.
He channeled all his love and attention to Qiu Muzheng, while heavily neglecting his own welfare in the process.
As she thought about all the meaningful things that he had done for her, Qiu Mucheng smiled unwittingly.
She felt that she was the luckiest woman ever, to be able to meet someone as loving as him.
Unbeknownst to her, however, the man who she thought about day and night was actually involved in a dangerous career.
At the same time, a similar scene was happening in Jingzhou.
All this while, Ye Fan's mother, Ye Ximei had relieved herself from her duties and obligations toward the company.
She decided to pay more attention to the child.
Although many had advised her to make a police report and to leave the child with the police, that she did not have the obligation to help someone else raise their child, Ye Ximei was still reluctant.
For some reason, from the moment she first laid eyes on the child, she felt a deep connection with him.
The feeling was hard to describe. It was as if there was some familial bond between them.
Apart from that, the more time Ye Ximei spend with the child, the more she felt that he looked like Ye Fan when he was young.
She even thought of asking the two to undergo a DNA test.
However, ever since Ye Fan left that night, there was no news of him anymore.
This was not the first time, however, so Ye Ximei was already accustomed to her son's frequent disappearance without notice. Nonetheless, she
couldn't help but feel worried.
Ye Xilan tried to console her, “Ximei, you have nothing to worry about. Ye Fan is a very capable man. Nothing will happen to him. Besides, it's not like it's the first time he's done something like this. Rememberthe last few times when he left without notice? So, you have nothing to worry about. It's all going to be all right.”
Ye Ximei did not respond but only sighed in response while staring motionlessly at the window.
“He's making me worried so much about him.”
She recalled the years when Ye Fan married into the Qiu family. He was nearly impossible to contact back then.
Ye Ximei was anxious, but she couldn't do anything about it.
At the end of the day, she's was merely a frail woman that had nothing to offer. All she could do was worry in futility.
Sometimes, Ye Ximei thought that if her husband was still around, there would be someone to ease her anxiety.
Time flew by as Ye Ximei spent most of her time in distress.
Everything was peaceful so far, but this may be the calm before the storm.
Nothing important occurred in the martial arts world.
The only incident worth mentioning was perhaps what happened in China's martial arts world.
Ever since the defeat, Sword Saint and the others started improving China's defense.
There were even plans to speak with Tang Yun in order to identify her motive in attacking China, and to avoid further aggression and war through negotiations.
After all, Chu Sect had impeccable forces. If not out of options, even the War God Castle would not choose to start a war with Chu Sect.
Nonetheless, Sword Saint and the others did not expect that Tang Yun and the Supreme fighters would vanish into thin air after that night.
Despite Tang Hao paying a visit to Ye Fan's hometown, the latter still could not be located.
