Invincible Young Master in the City

Chapter 2001 - 1997: Avoiding Battle

Pan Gu examined Lan Jing with some disappointment and said, "The power within her is far from being able to save the heavenly tribulation. Ye Fan, do you really believe she can take the lead in this matter?"

Lan Jing appeared very unconvinced and said, "Why do you look down on me? In my view, saving the heavenly tribulation is actually quite easy because Ye Fan is helping me. All of you have malicious thoughts, some even with hidden intentions. I feel that none of you are fit to speak here."

Lan Jing’s proud words left Pan Gu surprised as he hadn’t anticipated any special abilities from Lan Jing.

Lan Jing’s greatest skill lies in her ability to see through people’s hearts, to know the good and evil thoughts within them. When she sensed that Pan Gu and the others harbored ill intentions, she recognized the value of Ye Fan’s sincere heart. Hence, she spoke without giving face to these ancient powers. In Lan Jing’s view, her understanding of worldly matters is confined to good and evil, righteousness and wickedness.

In her eyes, Ye Fan is good and righteous, while those in front of her are evil.

"Ye Fan, the people around you speak with such arrogance, which seems to be a trait passed down from you!" Pan Gu sighed helplessly.

Ye Fan said, "Her thoughts are her own, don’t involve me in this matter. What I can do is guide her in cultivation. As for her inner thoughts, they are hers alone, I won’t interfere much. Whatever you wish to do, go ahead. I won’t avoid you anymore."

Fu Xi saw Pan Gu’s inclination to act and stepped forward, saying, "Ye Fan, you deliberately showed yourself to us, but wouldn’t it be too simple to just introduce this girl to us?"

Ye Fan said, "I came out to express my position. Moreover, when the heavenly tribulation is imminent, if you pose a threat to me and humanity, I’ll fight you to the bitter end."

"Empty threats won’t work," Fu Xi said. "You should also understand our position. Before the heavenly tribulation, we won’t interfere with your cultivation nor rob you of your life and freedom. But after saving the tribulation, it will be a war, and then don’t blame us ancient cultivators for taking action against you."

Ye Fan laughed and said, "Is this your compromise with humanity? Why do I feel it’s more like an extortion? Was I born just to be used by you?"

Fu Xi glanced at Pan Gu before saying, "No intention to use you, it’s just that we ancient cultivators dislike detestable acts. We won’t make any promises to ensure your life after saving the tribulation, but at most, we’ll strip your cultivation so you can live and die on Earth as before, which you humans should cherish."

Lan Jing heard these words and felt even more disgusted by the ancient cultivators in front of her. She said, "No matter what you say, Ye Fan will make his own choices. You people are deceitful and evil. As long as Ye Fan is here, you won’t succeed. Ye Fan, let’s leave; I don’t want to see these people."

"Coming and going as you please, Ye Fan, is the person you brought as unreasonable?" Pan Gu shouted sternly.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Pan Gu, it’s obvious you want to kill me. If that’s the case, why don’t we settle the score before the heavenly tribulation?"

"What did you say?" Pan Gu examined Ye Fan, seemingly trying to gauge Ye Fan’s cultivation level. But at this moment, Ye Fan’s cultivation became increasingly mysterious, leaving Pan Gu unable to determine the extent of Ye Fan’s strength.

"Pan Gu, you should understand that in our confrontation, you can never fully dominate, because our cultivation methods are fundamentally different. Do you think that because Nuwa can harm me, you can kill me? If so, I don’t intend to save any tribulation; I just want to fight you to decide who is the true ruler in cultivation." Ye Fan said.

Pan Gu said nothing, while Fu Xi looked disappointed and said, "Ye Fan, you’re getting more and more self-defeating. To say such words is like courting death. Haven’t you thought that there’s a huge gap between your cultivation and ours? Your potential is good, but unfortunately, your cultivation time is too short."

Nuwa wore a disdainful expression and said, "If he wants to try, why do you still hinder him? Maybe some people enjoy seeking death."

Pan Gu looked at Ye Fan, and finally shook his head, "I said I wouldn’t kill you before the heavenly tribulation, so I won’t fight you. I would find no glory in defeating you and no meaning in being defeated by you, which would only drain your energy to face the tribulation. Ye Fan, I roughly understand your intention. You want to use the tribulation as leverage against us ancient cultivators. I won’t let you succeed. If you want to fight me, I won’t fulfill your wish!"

Ye Fan squinted at Pan Gu, saying, "I didn’t think you’d actually avoid fighting."

Pan Gu shook his head and said, "For you, my avoidance of battle is actually the best outcome. Your current cultivation cannot rival all the ancient cultivators, but if your cultivation significantly improves during the tribulation, then you might qualify to fight us. As for now, you seem like an ant to me, fighting you holds no significance!"

Lan Jing said, "Ye Fan, let’s not waste words with him, let’s go!"

Ye Fan looked at Pan Gu and said, "What if I insist on fighting you?"

"I already said, I will choose to avoid battle. I have no need to fight you, because it’s unfair to you and meaningless to me. For a long time, I’ve been searching for an opponent. Apart from the tribulation giving me meaning in life, the next step is to fight you. Rest assured, I’ll give you time to enhance your cultivation. After the tribulation occurs, your cultivation should improve, and with this girl and many cultivators helping you, perhaps you could really defeat me? Haha!" Pan Gu said this with a proud expression, as if confident Ye Fan would surely lose when fighting him.

Ye Fan examined Pan Gu, feeling extremely disgusted. After considering, Ye Fan still shook his head and said, "If that’s the case, I still look forward to the heavenly tribulation arriving sooner."
