As the door opened.

Fang Yu and Ning Lu both froze in place, looking towards the entrance.

Ye Wenjun, dressed in white, stood calmly at the door, her gaze light as she watched the two without speaking or entering, just standing there quietly.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Awkwardness.

Before Fang Yu could speak.

Ning Lu quickly pushed Fang Yu aside and explained, "Sister Wenjun, it's not what you see, it's all a misunderstanding... I know the more I explain, the more confused it gets, but please believe me, Mr. Fang and I have no relationship... Mr. Fang saved me today, and I'm truly grateful from the bottom of my heart. My parents also taught me to repay kindness, and I really don't know how else to thank him, so I wanted to come and express my gratitude in person. Coincidentally, I saw a small hole in Mr. Fang's clothes, and I thought I would mend it for him..."

She explained everything in one breath.

It must be said that she's articulate, and her explanation was very complete and clear.

Ye Wenjun still did not speak, her expression calm as she looked at the two.

It seemed as though she was waiting for Fang Yu to speak.

After waiting a moment.

Fang Yu finally opened his mouth and said, "What Ning Lu said is mostly correct... Wenjun, don't misunderstand her. Seeing she is still young and simple-minded, as her sister, you shouldn't overthink."

Ye Wenjun walked in, her expression complex as she glanced at Ning Lu and said lightly, "You may leave..."

Ning Lu bowed and said, "Yes! Sister Wenjun, really... it's my fault..."

Having said that, she then left Fang Yu's room.

For a moment, only Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun remained in the room.

Fang Yu smiled slyly and said, "Wife, coming to my room so late, don't tell me you have some ideas?"

His eyes shifted about like a thief.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Wenjun countered, "Me coming here so late, even if I did have improper thoughts, what about Ning Lu?"

"Um…"

Fang Yu waved his hand and said, "Wife, can we not dampen the mood? Ning Lu is still a young girl, how can she be like us adults? She was too eager to express her gratitude and forgot the occasion and time. It's understandable..."

Ye Wenjun slightly frowned and said, "Don't you find... her a bit odd?"

"Odd? What's odd about her?" Fang Yu said.

"Earlier, Xu Sisi took her to wash up, and I found her way of speaking, and even her behavior, does not seem like someone from modern times... I asked her if she has a WeChat account, guess what she said?" said Ye Wenjun.

"What did she say?"

"She said she didn't know what WeChat is," Ye Wenjun said, "How many modern people don't know WeChat?"

Hearing this.

Yet, Fang Yu laughed heartily and said, "Wife, you're just too suspicious... Your suspicions are right, but your observation is not detailed enough."

"Hmm?" Ye Wenjun looked at Fang Yu with a complex expression.

Fang Yu continued,

"When she entered my room earlier, I also felt her way of speaking and her behavior indeed do not seem like those of a modern person. She even thought of mending my clothes... and when she came in, I felt she wasn't comfortable wearing modern clothes. However... there's one thing that's very strange. Her physical injuries... and her physical inessentials, are utterly those of an ordinary person!"

Ye Wenjun was taken aback and said, "Ordinary person?"

"Yes! It has been several months since the spiritual energy resurgence in modern cities, starting with my trip to the Nine Layers Hall, the spiritual energy has been continuously increasing. Humanity has also embarked on a path of evolution and mutation. Until later, with secret realms arising, almost all humans underwent large or small changes. But Ning Lu has no changes at all, don't you find that strange?" Fang Yu asked.

Ye Wenjun was speechless.

Fang Yu said with a smile, "This means... she comes from a secret realm, and definitely a secret realm without spiritual energy!"

"A secret realm without spiritual energy?"

"Right."

Fang Yu continued, "I guess, she comes from a spiritual energy-less secret realm, and it's not just her alone. Such people are very rare."

Hearing this.

Ye Wenjun lowered her head.

"It seems, I really misunderstood her."

"There's nothing to worry about... Even if she's some bad person or some cultivator, could she possibly harm me?"

This statement made a lot of sense.

There really aren't many cultivators who could harm Fang Yu.

Unless they were high-rank cultivators from secret realms.

"My dear... the misunderstanding has already been cleared, you see... shall we... have some affectionate time?" Fang Yu said with a smile.

"Let's do it another day, I have something to do..."

With that, Ye Wenjun left.

She left suddenly and decisively.

"This..."

Fang Yu was dumbfounded.

...

In the following days.

Fang Yu spent each day cultivating in his room.

He was also waiting for news from Chen Daotian and Jiang Ren.

Time is life.

He had to race against time to find the Slow Turning Secret Realm as soon as possible.

It's just that...

The Slow Turning Secret Realm is exceedingly rare.

Like the one behind Tiandu Mountain, the entrance is on a cliff, if a high-rank cultivator doesn't know how to fly, trying to enter is practically a death wish, right?

Searching for a new Slow Turning Secret Realm was a necessary measure.

On the fifth day.

Ye Wenjun, feeling bored without the Water Cold Sword, wanted to chat with Fang Yu about cultivation matters. She happened to see Ning Lu carrying a basin towards the bathroom.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Ning Lu?"

Ning Lu got startled and said nervously while covering the basin, "Sister Wenjun..."

"What are you doing?"

"I, I... I..."

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Ning Lu had to say, "I saw that Mr. Fang had a lot of dirty clothes, and I thought I'd wash them for him. These past few days... I have been staying and eating at the Fang Family, it's a bit embarrassing not to do anything."

Ye Wenjun nodded and said, "Ning Lu, I know you're from a secret realm, these clothes don't need to be hand-washed, just put them in the washing machine."

"Washing machine?" Ning Lu looked confused, not knowing what this machine was.

"Forget it, do as you please." Ye Wenjun wasn't keen on enlightening people. Seeing Ning Lu's confused expression, she knew it couldn't be explained clearly in a short time.

Unexpectedly.

Ning Lu said, "I think clothes are better hand-washed... especially Mr. Fang's clothes. They can only be thoroughly cleaned by hand and won't tear..."

"Hmm?"

"Oh. Got it." Ning Lu carried the basin and quickly walked toward the bathroom.

Ye Wenjun frowned.

And headed towards Fang Yu's room.

As soon as she pushed the door open.

Ye Wenjun saw a woman's clothes on the bed... those were the clothes Ning Lu wore yesterday!

Her heart tightened as if something was choking her heart.

But still, she managed to suppress it.

Fang Yu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Ye Wenjun, caught a glimpse of the clothes on the bed, and said, "Do your duty as a wife, I hope you can be like before, don't overthink..."

"I know." Ye Wenjun, with her hands on the door, backed out.
