Director Zhang's destiny is his own doing, but Zhang Xiaofan can only be described as a girl who grew up spoiled, and her mistakes shouldn't warrant too severe a punishment.

Ye Fan didn't group Zhang Xiaofan with her father; many things needed to be clarified: "Moreover, Miss Zhang has not been violated by anyone, so you... don't need to worry about this!"

Zhang Xiaofan glared at Ye Fan, feeling somewhat indignant. Her normal life was disrupted, and she had spent many days in fear, only to realize she had been toyed with?

"You demon, if I get the chance, I will definitely kill you! Let me go, I want to go home! Boo hoo hoo..."

Initially cursing Ye Fan furiously, she had started to sob by the end, yearning for her previous peaceful life. Ye Fan said, "Do you think you can still return home safely now? Those who were offended by your father would seize the opportunity to take revenge on you, as your father caused their families to be destroyed. Your father's former accomplices now also wish to use you to blackmail him, compelling him not to expose them, so... you can think of this as a covert form of protection."

"I don't need your protection, I want to go back!" Zhang Xiaofan struggled to get out of the box, but she fell after just a couple of steps.

Ye Fan got up, took out a small box from his storage bracelet, and opened it, revealing it was full of money: "Here are some things you need for your life, and the keys are on the table here. If you find obstacles outside, you can come back here. Your own path, you must walk it yourself!"

After speaking, Ye Fan ignored Zhang Xiaofan's resentful gaze and walked out of the small courtyard with his head held high.

After Ye Fan and Sang Yuan had walked far away, Sang Yuan finally asked: "Young master, who is that girl? She seems... very naive, she should be an ordinary human girl, right?"

Ye Fan briefly recounted the previous events, and Sang Yuan shook his head and said: "This woman dares to offend the young master, yet the young master is so magnanimous. If it were Nunu... Young master, do you have feelings for this girl? If the young master is interested, Nunu will arrange it."

Ye Fan squinted at her and said: "You are becoming more adept at handling matters, but what I need is an assistant, not an accomplice indulging me in pleasure. Do you understand?"

"Nunu understands, Nunu just wanted to make the young master happy," Sang Yuan admitted his mistake and said.

"This is not your fault," Ye Fan said, "Now, make arrangements to notify the six major sects, excluding the Diyuan Sect, that I am preparing to enter the Dead Sea with them. Don't they think this is my conspiracy? I want them to see how wrong they are!"

Sang Yuan said: "Young master need not care about people from the six major sects. If the young master wishes, you can directly wipe out the people from the six major sects. Even if there's a heavenly tribulation, the highest cultivators in the six major sects are only in the Mahayana Realm and won't be of much help."

Ye Fan smiled and said: "But I, myself, am also in the Mahayana Realm and, in the face of a heavenly tribulation, nothing is clear, so some things shouldn't be done to an extreme. What I want to do is to consolidate the power of the sects to resist the heavenly tribulation, not to cause slaughter to the cultivators within the secret realm, otherwise, I would no longer be righteous, but evil!"

"Yes, Nunu understands,"

Although Sang Yuan said he understood, there was no distinction between good and evil in his mind. In his eyes, interests were above all, and he couldn't comprehend why, after Ye Fan acquired the power to destroy the seven major sects, he only trimmed the wings of the Diyuan Sect while showing leniency to the other six major sects, even though the Huangji Sect acted treacherously towards Ye Fan, and Elder Yuan even conspired with demonic forces to kill both Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun, and the Tianxuan Sect also used Ye Fan's trust.

Ye Fan stood by the roadside, seemingly pondering, while Sang Yuan went to convey Ye Fan's intentions, even setting a time for the gathering. At the appointed time, the six major sects, excluding the Diyuan Sect, would send people to enter the Dead Sea with Ye Fan. This would be the first time Ye Fan commanded people from various sects to do something since he became the Sect Master. Ye Fan's request was for the sect masters of each sect to try to be present, but it wasn't mandatory, as he wanted to use this to gauge their loyalty.

...

...

In the main hall of the Tianxuan Sect, Sect Master Hua Wu, Sect Master Jingya of Tianzong, Master Hui Ning, and Elder Wu were meeting with Wu Ding, who had just returned from Earth.

Wu Ding recounted her experiences with Ye Fan during these days to everyone but concealed many details, for her heart was no longer with the Tianxuan Sect. She had resolved that this would be her last service for the sect, and upon return, as Ye Fan suggested, she would wholeheartedly become Ye Fan's servant, utilizing her previous experience of gathering intelligence for the Tianxuan Sect to help Ye Fan consolidate intelligence from various sects, becoming Ye Fan's assistant.

"You're saying that the matter of the Dead Sea wasn't deliberately orchestrated by Ye Fan but was something he accidentally discovered?" Hua Wu coldly questioned.

"Yes." Wu Ding answered with certainty.

Jingya sneered: "Since the formation at the Dead Sea is so strong, he's but a young lad, and even with Mahayana cultivation, how could he have discovered it when the sects have had countless outstanding people for centuries?"

Next to her, Master Hui Ning said: "Don't forget, he has a group of mysterious forces helping him. Wu Ding, why don't you tell us how these mysterious forces are colluding with Ye Fan?"

"Uncle Master, I don't agree with your statement," Wu Ding said, "Though I don't know why Sang Yuan and the others are used by my junior brother, they are not manipulating each other. Instead, my junior brother commands these people. As for Yun Zhao and others, they also obey my junior brother implicitly. My junior brother merely wants to unite people from various forces to resist the heavenly tribulation. He bears no malicious intent towards the Tianxuan Sect!"

Hua Wu raised a hand and said: "What he intends to do, I will judge for myself. You don't need to draw conclusions here. You may leave now, Qing Wu, you go with her."

"Yes, Martial Uncle." Elder Wu saluted from the side.

Wu Ding said: "Master, I promised my junior brother that I would return to Earth after the final handover..."

"You still want to return now?" Master Hui Ning said, somewhat angrily, "It seems that there has been some... relationship between you and him? The saying among humans isn't wrong: a married daughter is like spilled water. Your heart is now all for that boy, and you treat the sect's words as nothing."

"Uncle Master, Ye Fan was also a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, and he once called you Master. The Tianxuan Sect deceived and used him; I am just atoning for that!" Wu Ding said, clenching her teeth.

Master Hui Ning was about to continue scolding when Hua Wu waved his hand: "You also said that a married daughter can't be taken back, so let her go. From this moment, you will no longer be a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect; henceforth, you cannot use the name of the Tianxuan Sect in your actions, do you understand?"

Although she had anticipated this outcome, tears still rolled down Wu Ding's face, as this was the place she had lived for nearly two hundred years. After respectfully bowing to everyone present, she turned and left the main hall.

From the moment she left the main hall, she was no longer Elder Wu Ding of the Tianxuan Sect, but merely an ordinary servant by Ye Fan's side.
