Chapter: 3920

"If Mr. Luo was really killed or controlled by him, his cultivation would have reached the dark realm, as Yuan Shifu said!"

"Moreover! The location where we had lunch today was also chosen by him, deliberately selecting such a secluded spot, could it really just be for me to taste the local flavor?"

"What a coincidence is that the surveillance cameras around the selected location had an issue, finding no valuable leads!"

"And besides, Ye Chen wasn't always with me during the whole meal, he stepped out to take a call! If he's a dark realm master, then the time it took him to take the call was enough for him to take action against Mr. Luo!"

Thinking this, Fan Ke Xin felt her heart beating wildly and her chest aching as if struck by a hammer!

She knew deep down that if her guess was correct, it would mean that everything Ye Chen had shown her so far was just an act, even a deliberate attempt to confuse her.

Fan Ke Xin suddenly became flustered.

The possibility of Ye Chen's acting in front of her was only one - that he had figured out her true motives and was planning to outsmart her.

Fan Ke Xin knew that if she was indeed discovered by Ye Chen, it would mean her mission to retrieve the elixir in Jinling had completely failed.

Moreover, not only would her plan for retrieving the elixir fail, but Ye Chen might even get entangled with grandfather's normal participation in the auction.

If that were the case, wouldn't she become a villain in grandfather's eyes?

Thinking of this, Fan Ke Xin was frantic like an ant on a hot skillet.

She was most afraid now that Ye Chen had not only detected her motives but also discovered her true identity.

If that were the case, she would be completely powerless to turn back time.

If Ye Chen just detected her motives but didn't discover her true identity, then there was still a glimmer of hope left.

After all, she and grandfather originally planned to use dual insurance, so even if this road was blocked, at least it wouldn't affect grandfather's normal participation in the auction.

As long as Ye Chen didn't know her true identity, she could separate the risk by not attending the auction with grandfather.

Thinking of this, Fan Ke Xin immediately pulled out her phone and called grandfather Fei Jianming. As soon as the call connected, she quickly said: "Grandfather, I'm now facing a situation where my identity has been exposed, so from now on until the auction ends, I won't be in contact with you again. You don't need to stay in touch with me either. When you come to participate in the auction in a few days, bring someone else along with you and enter the venue together. I won't attend this time."

Fei Jianming's eyes widened in shock as he asked, "What's going on? Is something else happening suddenly?"

"Not at all," Fan Ke Xin said truthfully. "I'm afraid I've already exposed myself to the owner of the Spring Return Pill, and I suspect that person might be behind Mr. Luo's disappearance. If that's the case, I might have already angered him, and if he finds out about my relationship with you, I fear it will affect your participation in the auction."

Fei Jianming blurted out, "Are you certain? Does that person have the ability to read minds?"

Fan Ke Xin said, "I don't have any direct evidence, but analyzing the situation, that person's possibility is the highest. So, I think we should be cautious and avoid influencing your participation in the auction."

Fei Jianming thought for a moment before saying, "Ke Xin, you'd better come back quickly. Since you're exposed to danger and possible risks, staying in Jinling doesn't make any practical sense anymore. It will only add to the risk."

After that, Fei Jianming said again, "You go first, and when it's time for the auction, I'll have Master Yuan accompany me there. At that time, we'll go to Jinling openly and honestly, and other participants might also bring some martial arts experts as escorts. Even if he's very powerful, he won't dare to attack these escorts."

Fan Ke Xin said, "If that person is indeed the one behind the scenes, they won't dare to attack the participants either, because it would ruin their reputation. So, why don't you let Master Yuan accompany you instead?" JrNovels.com
