Chapter 990 Messing with the Ye Family (2)
Ye Qing Huan didn’t seem worried at all by the fact that these people were from the Ye Family.
It even seemed that she already knew this and that it was the reason why she chose to attack these people in the first place.
But that was what Lin Fan couldn’t understand.
If they really were from the Ye Family, then why was she doing all of this?
If they were from the Ye Family, then that meant that they were on the same side.
So there was no need for Ye Qing Huan to do this.
Unless…
After this thought passed through his mind, there was a look of slow understanding that appeared on Lin Fan’s face. But of course, this wasn’t seen by the black clothed people since there was a mask that was on his face.
There was a moment of silence before Ye Qing Huan suddenly raised her hand up and slapped that person across the face.
There was a look of shock that appeared in their eyes as if they didn’t expect this to happen.
They just looked on in shock, not even reacting to the fact that they had been slapped until a moment after they had been slapped. They turned back to look at Ye Qing Huan with a strange look of disbelief, as if they couldn’t process what happened.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t say anything as she just looked right into this person’s eyes.
Then all of a sudden, she asked, “What will the Ye Family do if they discover this? I’m very curious.”
A strange look appeared on Lin Fan’s face when he heard this.
After all, he didn’t expect her to suddenly taunt this person like this.
It didn’t seem like there was anything to gain from this…
But the taunt that she made did have an effect as that person came back from their daze.
An angry look appeared in the eyes of that person before they roared, “How dare you look down on the Ye Family? Do you think that you’ll get away with this? You will be torn to pieces!”
“Yes, but will the Ye Family really do something like that for someone like you?”
“You dare! The Ye Family will chase you down to the ends of the world if you do anything to us!” That person didn’t seem to back down even though Ye Qing Huan was denying what they said.
With a faint smile, Ye Qing Huan shook her head before saying, “It seems like you’re not getting what I’m saying.”
That person calmed down a bit after hearing this before slowly asking, “What do you mean by that?”
Ye Qing Huan didn’t answer right away as if she was keeping this person in suspense, but then she suddenly asked, “A traitor like you? Would they really do anything to help you?”
There was no response that followed after this. It also didn’t seem like there was a change in the expression of this person.
It was as if they didn’t respond to these words from Ye Qing Huan.
But Ye Qing Huan also didn’t seem bothered by the lack of response.
She just calmly looked at this person for a bit before saying, “If you tell me what you know, I’ll be able to help you. So how about it? Do you want to work with me?”
That person narrowed their eyes to look at Ye Qing Huan before saying, “Do you really mean what you say?”
Ye Qing Huan’s expression didn’t change, but she gave a calm nod in response.
After a moment of silence, that person said, “If I do this, can you guarantee that you will help me escape the punishment of the Ye Family? Can you guarantee that I will be set for the rest of my life?”
“Do you have a choice?” Ye Qing Huan calmly asked back instead of making a promise.
That person didn’t say anything right away, almost as if they were considering what Ye Qing Huan was saying.
Then in the end, that person said, “At the very least, I’m sure that I’ll get a decent price with the information that I have from you.”
After another momentary pause, they said, “The disciple of the second elder is the one that I report to. They wanted me to find some information about Ye Tian Xie from the Ye Family. I can give you that information for the right price.”
Ye Qing Huan didn’t respond right away as she just calmly looked at him.
Then she suddenly said, “It seems like you have no intention of cooperating.”
“What do you mean? I have every intention of cooperating with you, how can you say that I’m not?” That person said in an outraged voice.
Ye Qing Huan shook her head before turning around. She waved her hand at Lin Fan for him to follow before walking over to the side.
That person was still being restrained by the wraiths, so they weren’t able to do anything.
When they were far enough away, Ye Qing Huan suddenly said, “He’s lying.”
Lin Fan had a confused look on his face as he asked, “What do you mean? How do you know that he’s lying?”
“If they knew the truth, they would know that they were lying as well. After all, this is a fact that no one knows other than a few chosen people. It’s not strange that they don’t know at all.”
Lin Fan still had a confused look on his face as he waited for Ye Qing Huan to explain what she meant by this.
Finally, Ye Qing Huan said, “The disciple of the second elder that he mentioned, he’s working with Ye Tian Xie.” After a pause, she added, “My brother and the disciple of the second elder have a sworn oath that no one else knows about, so it’s clear that they are trying to use this opportunity to sow the seeds of doubt in the Heavenly Demon Sect.”

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face before he asked, “Are you sure that you should be telling me this? Is it really alright for me to know about this?”
“You’re one of us.” Ye Qing Huan said with a smile.
Though Lin Fan still couldn’t help complaining in his mind, “Is that really up to you to decide?”
After all, this wasn’t even Ye Qing Huan’s secret. It was the secret of her brother, Ye Tian Xie. At the same time, it seemed like it was an important secret for the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Was it really something that could be revealed that easily?
But Lin Fan didn’t say anything in the end as he asked, “Then what do you plan to do now? Are you going to torture them or something?”
Ye Qing Huan just looked at Lin Fan with the same smile as she said, “Well, that’s where you come in.”
“You want me to torture them?” Lin Fan asked in response.
Ye Qing Huan shook her head before saying, “Who said anything about torturing them? Not to mention, would that even work with the way that they’ve been trained? Would you be able to break them?”
Those were the same concerns that Lin Fan had, but he hadn’t said them out loud.
Instead, he asked, “Then what do you want me to do?”
Another faint smile appeared on Ye Qing Huan’s face before she said, “Isn’t that the reason that I called you here in the first place? You were able to find the spies of the Wu Empire in the Mu Empire with a special method. I won’t ask you what method that was, but I hope that you will be able to use that method on these people now.”
This was certainly not what Lin Fan expected from her, but he had to admit that what she said made sense.
She seemed like she really had no other choice, so it seemed like it was his turn.
So with a slow nod, Lin Fan said, “I’ll give it a try.”
Ye Qing Huan gave a nod as well before leading the way back over to the group that were being held by the wraiths.
When the person that she talked to before saw them come back, they asked, “Have you finally considered my…”
They didn’t get to finish what they were saying as with a wave of their hand, the wraith suddenly came back and entered the body of this person. When the wraith entered their body, the same thing happened as before where that person lost consciousness.
After that person lost consciousness. Ye Qing Huan turned back to look at Lin Fan and asked, “Did you need them to be conscious to do what you need to do?”
Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile, but he also shook his head.
After all, his method didn’t really need that person to be conscious.
At the same time, it might be better if they were unconscious.
After all, Lin Fan could tell that this person wasn’t that weak either.
Since they served the Ye Family, it was only natural that they had a certain level of cultivation.
It was different from the Mu Empire where most people were weaker than him.
In this place, almost anyone that worked here was just a bit weaker than him.
So even if he reached the Golden Core Realm, it wasn’t actually anything to be proud of.
He still needed to work harder for the future.
But he also narrowed his eyes to look at this person and activated the Appraisal Eyes.
