Chapter 584: Passed Opportunity Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

With Luo Yue on the right track, Ye Mo believed that even if some countries still coveted Luo Yue, they wouldn’t dare challenge it easily. The more time Luo Yue had to develop, the more powerful it would become.

Hence, Ye Mo wanted to go out and take care of some of his own things. He had wasted a lot of time building Luo Yue. As a cultivator, his main focus should be on finding resources and cultivating.

For one, Ye Mo needed to find that white fox. If it could really find spirit stones and herbs, he would be earning big.

Of course, the most important thing was that Ye Mo wanted to find Luo Ying. He loved both Ning Qingxue and Luo Ying, and he didn’t want Luo Ying to miss out on the wedding. Whether it was this life or the past, his master or Susu, Luo Ying’s position would never change in his heart.

Last time he got news of her being in the desert, he couldn’t go right away due to Luo Yue’s matters, so this time he would investigate properly.

At midnight, Ye Mo and Ning Qingxue went home, where Han Yan was apparently waiting.

Seeing them, Han Yan immediately got up.

“Han Yan, do you have something going on?” Ye Mo looked at Han Yan strangely. She usually didn’t come out much, and their sect’s location was quite far off. Lian Hang Jing Temple had also built their sect in the same valley with Ye Mo’s help.

Han Yan’s face wasn’t relaxed. She never would have thought that Ye Mo, who went to Beijing for a few hundred thousand from Li Hu, would someday reach his current state.

“Did your grandfather tell you to come? Is it about the interference machine? You can just talk to Sister Yuehua about it,” Ye Mo smiled. He guessed that Han Yan had come for that, but she should focus on cultivation.

Han Yan shook her head. “No, although Grandpa told me to come, it wasn’t for the interference machine. Grandpa wants to invite you to Beijing; otherwise, he would have come himself.”

Ye Mo immediately understood. Han Zaixin represented the Chinese military, so it wasn’t suitable for him to come in person at such a sensitive time.

Ye Mo nodded. “Okay, I was about to leave anyway, so I’ll drop by Beijing. Old Han owes me large sums of ores, so I need to get them.”

Han Yan thanked him somewhat uneasily and left.

She was truly grateful to Ye Mo that her sect had such a good cultivation environment.

The snow fox matter wasn’t too urgent, anyway. After Ye Mo left Luo Yue, he wanted to go to Ning Hai and see Tang Beiwei. Although Tang Beiwei liked that small house and didn’t want to leave, Ye Mo was still worried and tried to visit her often.

Ye Mo arrived at West Lake Restaurant. This had been his first high-class restaurant, and Su Jingwen had treated him there. Ye Mo subconsciously scanned his spirit sense around and found Su Jingwen sitting alone in the room where they had eaten last time.

Ye Mo had a great impression of her, so he immediately walked in.

“Jingwen, why are you sitting here by yourself? Aren’t you with Beiwei?” Ye Mo asked.

“Ye Mo!” Su Jingwen got up immediately. Seeing Ye Mo smiling, she subconsciously rubbed her eyes. She had just been thinking about him. How could he have appeared so suddenly?

“Are you alright?” Ye Mo subconsciously reached out to grab her wrist.

But Su Jingwen grabbed Ye Mo’s hand first. “It’s really you, Ye Mo? H-how did you know I was here?”

“Are you forgetting me already? Of course it’s really me. I was just passing by and remembered this was where you treated me the first time, so I came over to have a look. I didn’t expect you to be here. Anyway, you’re getting prettier and prettier, aren’t you?” Ye Mo knew it was the effect of the face-preserving pill.

Su Jingwen’s face blushed, and she forgot that Ye Mo’s hand was still in hers.

“Thank you for still remembering me.” Su Jingwen felt like she didn’t know what to say.

Ye Mo could feel that Su Jingwen had feelings for him, but he already had Luo Ying and Ning Qingxue, so he was more than content. He didn’t know how to comfort Su Jingwen.

The door opened, and a young man holding flowers appeared. He looked shocked at Su Jingwen holding Ye Mo’s hand.

Only then did Su Jingwen realize she was still holding Ye Mo’s hand. She blushed and quickly let go. Immediately, the atmosphere became awkward.

“Eh, sorry, I didn’t know you guys were on a date. Euhm, I’ll be going first.” Ye Mo realized Su Jingwen had been waiting for someone and that he was a third wheel.

He had some mixed feelings, though. But then, he realized he couldn’t give her anything, so why was he having mixed feelings about her seeing someone else? He was being too domineering. Thinking about this, Ye Mo shook his head. He wasn’t happy with his subconscious reaction.

“By the way, is Beiwei at home?” Ye Mo asked before leaving.

“Hm? Euhm, she said she was going to a student gathering yesterday and would be back today, yet I waited for her all day and she still didn’t come back, and I felt bored,” Su Jingwen answered subconsciously.

Student gathering? Ye Mo was surprised. It seemed like Tang Beiwei had gone to Tan Du. Ye Mo would be going to the Duan Heng Ranges to find the Bitter Ten Years and the entrance to the inner hidden sects, and he would be passing by Tan Du.

“Thank you. Well then, I won’t be disturbing you anymore. Goodbye then!” Ye Mo was getting more and more uncomfortable. He felt a bit hypocritical. He was just friends with Su Jingwen, so why did he feel uncomfortable about her going on a date with someone else?

He shook his head and walked out quickly.

“Huh, Ye Mo wait, it’s not what you think!” By the time Su Jingwen reacted, Ye Mo had already disappeared. She immediately went outside to chase after him.

“Jingwen?” The man called out to her.

“Zhang Lailin, how did you even know I was here? There is only one person I like, and it’s not you. Sorry, but I’ll be going now.” Su Jingwen started her car and left rapidly.

She was regretting. Not what had happened today but what had happened before. She had always had feelings for Ye Mo and even liked him a little, but her embarrassment had made her unwilling to admit that.

If she didn’t have special feelings for Ye Mo, she wouldn’t have kept Ye Mo’s first present until today. She wouldn’t have let Ye Mo dance that first dance with her. She had met Ye Mo first, yet she lost to Ning Qingxue who came later. She knew Ye Mo more than Ning Qingxue in the past, but she didn’t dare admit her feelings. Now, she had lost that first unexplainable ‘first-love-feeling’.

Ning Qingxue was more brave than her. She knew she liked Ye Mo and chased after him without relenting. To this day, Su Jingwen still didn’t know why a prideful woman like Ning Qingxue would love Ye Mo so wholeheartedly.

Seeing Su Jingwen leave, Zhang Lailin dropped the flowers. He had always been very prideful. He was smart, handsome, and the son of the mayor. Zhang Lailin wasn’t like many other young masters – he never went out and about doing bad things, and he was conservative with women. He had been the ultimate prince charming in the eyes of many pretty girls, yet today, he was rejected.

At the moment, Ye Mo was standing outside Tan Du University. He didn’t think that his sister would spend two days on a student gathering, and it was only a one-hour flight from there to Ning Hai.
