Yang Xiaoting and Qin Mengyao also hoped they could help Ye Fan, so they were also hoping that they were the Chosen One Ye Fan was talking about. That way, they could assist Ye Fan and even become people of note by his side.
But in Ye Fan’s view, the clues about the Chosen One were very elusive. Some clues concerning Taining were only part of the clues about the Chosen One, and there was no definite connection between Taining and the Chosen One. At this point, Ye Fan could only take things one step at a time and try to test which of the girls around him was the Chosen One.
In the past, when Ye Fan went to Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting, he would invariably share passionate and tender moments with the two young ladies. However, the current situation was pressing, leaving no time for romance. Ye Fan even needed to promptly take Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting to meet Li Zhaojun. But to avoid awkwardness during the meeting, Ye Fan needed to inform the two young ladies of the situation first. The two were aware of Ye Fan’s identity and had no issues with his intentions. They even considered it a privilege to meet Li Zhaojun, as she, being Ye Fan’s legitimate wife, held an unmatched status by his side.
Ye Fan always felt it was unfair to the two young ladies. Being his women, he didn’t want to determine who was the most important to him. He tried to face Li Zhaojun in the simplest and most direct way and treated the women around him with an ordinary heart.
Ye Fan first went to see Li Zhaojun. After explaining the situation to her, Li Zhaojun was very understanding and said, "Ye Fan, I understand your intentions. You want to test who the Chosen One is. I will support whatever you do now. Previously, due to my own willfulness, I brought you quite some trouble. Now that it’s finally going to be resolved, all I can do is fully support you from behind."
With Li Zhaojun’s support, Ye Fan felt more assured. He brought Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting to Li Zhaojun’s side. Li Zhaojun was not unfamiliar with Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting, while Min Shang was somewhat unfamiliar with the two young ladies, unsure of who they were.
"Ye Fan, whenever you’re ready to complete the test, feel free to start." Li Zhaojun took out Taining from her storage ring. It was a rare moment for her to take out Taining, as even she couldn’t manage it herself, so she never felt she was the Chosen One. Now that someone else might be, she felt a bit disheartened.
Ye Fan unlocked the restriction on Taining, which was a type of defensive measure on its outer layer. He didn’t want this force to harm Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting, then said, "You two can come over and try."
Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting stood in front of Ye Fan. They had no understanding of the weapon in front of them that resembled a hammer, nor did they know how to attempt it. Qin Mengyao asked, "Fan, what exactly should I do? Is it just about picking it up?"
"This weapon is very heavy. With your current cultivation level, it might be difficult to handle it. But one thing is certain, if you are the owner of Taining, it will recognize you as its owner. You need to infuse your spiritual energy into it. You should try first," Ye Fan said.
Qin Mengyao stepped forward, reaching out her hand to touch the weapon in Ye Fan’s hand, but with some trepidation at first. Finally, she set her hand on the handle of Taining. Perhaps because she was mentally prepared, she didn’t hesitate.
"Fan, it seems... nothing’s happening," Qin Mengyao said.
Ye Fan replied, "You haven’t infused your spiritual energy into it yet."
"Oh, I’ll try." Qin Mengyao closed her eyes and attempted to channel a stream of her spiritual energy into it. In an instant, the energy entered Taining’s core, followed by a strong repulsive force emitted from Taining. Because Qin Mengyao was caught off guard, the force knocked her back a few meters.
"Ah!" Qin Mengyao cried out in pain, and Yang Xiaoting hurried over to support her.
"Yaoyao, are you okay?" Yang Xiaoting was very concerned for Qin Mengyao, but unfortunately, she could not ascertain if it was a success. Based on her judgment, it seemed unsuccessful.
Although Qin Mengyao was repelled, her cultivation level was close to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, so she wasn’t injured by the repulsion. Yet, she looked visibly disappointed, "Fan, I’m... I’m so useless. I don’t think I can make it recognize me."
"It’s not your fault," Ye Fan consoled, "You did well. The reason you didn’t succeed might be because you couldn’t trigger its defense mechanism. For now, try resting to the side and let Xiaoxiao give it a shot. If nothing works, I’ll send you both back."
Having established that Qin Mengyao couldn’t awaken Taining, it seemed all hope now rested on Yang Xiaoting. But everyone present knew that the chances of Yang Xiaoting being the Chosen One were slim as well.
Watching Yang Xiaoting walk step by step towards Taining, which still rested in Ye Fan’s hand, Taining could no longer harm Ye Fan, but he himself knew he was not its owner.
Yang Xiaoting placed her hand on Taining and asked, "Fan, is this right?"
"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded, "You can now infuse your spiritual energy into it and clear your mind of all distractions. Try it."
Yang Xiaoting did as Ye Fan instructed. At the moment she infused her spiritual energy into it, the same repulsive force erupted, pushing her back. Having been prepared, the impact wasn’t severe this time. After stabilizing herself, Qin Mengyao also walked over to Yang Xiaoting with a hint of disappointment and said, "Xiaoxiao, it appears this isn’t something we can accomplish. It’s tough trying to help Fan."
Li Zhaojun watched the two young ladies, wanting to say something comforting, but knowing her awkward position, she refrained. She looked at Ye Fan, curious about his next move.
Ye Fan said, "Zhao Jun, you stay here and continue cultivating. I need to take them back for now.
"Alright," Li Zhaojun nodded, "Come back soon."
Ye Fan didn’t imply he’d return immediately. He took Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting and left, directly sending them back to his dwelling.
