Chapter 830 - 827: The Broken Sword Acknowledges Love

"Oh no!"

In the next moment, Ye Fan sensed something was wrong because Zhou Zhimei didn’t resurface after falling into the water.

"Could it be that she can’t swim?"

This was Ye Fan’s guess, but he denied it. As a supreme being of the First Grade Emperor, not being able to swim was something no one would believe.

He decided not to interfere because of this.

However, after a long while, Zhou Zhimei still hadn’t come up, and the lake surface remained calm. Ye Fan finally couldn’t bear the guilt and jumped into the lake water.

He was looking for Zhou Zhimei’s shadow in the water.

He found Zhou Zhimei struggling desperately further down in the darker depths, and Ye Fan quickly dove down.

Grabbing Zhou Zhimei’s hand, he could see her face had turned pale, so he swiftly kissed her.

It wasn’t because he wanted to take advantage, but at this moment, he was not in the mood for that. All he wanted to do was provide her with air.

Then, he swam up with Zhou Zhimei in tow, jumped out of the lake, and laid her on the grass.

"Wake up, are you okay?"

Ye Fan said quickly.

However, Zhou Zhimei didn’t respond, so he quickly pressed Zhou Zhimei’s stomach, realizing that she hadn’t swallowed any water at all.

"Strange, what’s going on here? It’s not like drowning; it seems like she’s possessed."

Ye Fan had never seen such a peculiar illness because he examined Zhou Zhimei’s body and found no abnormalities.

This was the strangest part.

Therefore, he could only do this now, which was to give Zhou Zhimei artificial respiration, even if it meant suffering a loss himself—a man shouldn’t care about such things!

If Zhou Zhimei knew what he was thinking, she would surely die of rage, because while he pretended to be shameless, Ye Fan actually said his excuse with such grandeur.

He leaned in and tried for a long time, until Zhou Zhimei coughed twice and Ye Fan stopped the artificial respiration.

At this moment, Ye Fan said, "Are you okay?"

However, Zhou Zhimei didn’t speak but instead hugged him suddenly, the unexpected warmth catching Ye Fan off guard.

He didn’t expect Zhou Zhimei to be such an open woman.

At this point, Ye Fan said helplessly, "Uh, uh, I’m not that kind of person!"

Zhou Zhimei said to him affectionately, "You are my destined one!"

"Why?"

Ye Fan curiously asked, but as a righteous man who stayed composed, Ye Fan chose to push Zhou Zhimei away.

Although, at this moment, if he wanted to take advantage of the situation, it would have been very simple.

Seeing Zhou Zhimei speaking affectionately, "My master said that the Orchid Sword was forged with my lifebound power and is closely linked with me!"

"If one day, I meet the man who breaks my sword but I remain alive, he is my destined one!"

Ye Fan was speechless at this, expressing his inability to accept it.

Therefore, he said to Zhou Zhimei, "Your master is deceiving you!"

"Impossible!"

Zhou Zhimei turned around and found Ye Fan’s shadow was gone, so she was extremely angry, but at this time, she still picked up the Orchid Sword from the ground and flew toward Emei Peak.

Ye Fan returned to Yanqi Peak.

Seeing him in such a messy state, Feng Shaohao came up and asked, "Brother, did you win?"

"Win my ass, don’t mention it. I don’t want to talk about it anymore!"

Ye Fan said speechlessly.

Upon re-entering the courtyard, he found Sword Obsession sitting there.

"Master!"

Ye Fan went forward to greet him.

At this moment, Sword Obsession asked Ye Fan, "Disciple, how was today’s battle?"

Ye Fan said, "Not good at all!"

"It’s okay, losing isn’t a problem. After all, Zhou Zhimei’s cultivation is strong. Although she’s a woman, her strength rivals Yang Xiu’s!"

Sword Obsession comforted Ye Fan.

Though he had high hopes for Ye Fan, failure was inevitable at times.

Thus, he spoke to comfort Ye Fan.

Yet Ye Fan wasn’t troubled by failure but said, "I broke her Orchid Sword!"

"What?"

Sword Obsession was almost scared into having a heart attack. He certainly knew what the Orchid Sword meant to Zhou Zhimei—it was the guardian of her life!

Upon the sword’s breaking, Sword Obsession immediately asked, "Is she okay?"

"She’s fine, but she insists on recognizing me as her husband!"

Ye Fan said irritably.

Seeing this expression, Sword Obsession got a little angry and asked, "Is she not good enough for you? What’s with this expression?"

"It’s not that, but I simply don’t want to get involved in mortal affairs!"

Ye Fan said grandly.

At this moment, Sword Obsession said to him, "As long as you don’t hurt her!"

"Master, why are you so concerned about her?"

Ye Fan noticed something amiss, oh well! Not worrying about his own disciple, if there isn’t a problem, then Sword Obsession is someone who betrays his sect.

Sword Obsession quickly denied, "No, I’m just asking. After all, we are from the same Sect, no need to make things this tense!"

"Alright!"

Ye Fan didn’t intend to inquire further, though he seemed to have guessed the answer in his heart.

At this moment, Sword Obsession said, "You’re tired, get some rest early! Tomorrow, I’ll teach you more lessons!"

"Alright!"

Ye Fan nodded, and then Sword Obsession left.

....

On Emei Peak, the mountain was full of beautiful fairies because it was mainly a place for women, but the moment Zhou Zhimei appeared, these fairies instantly lost their luster.

Not a single woman’s beauty exceeded Zhou Zhimei’s; she stood out like a crane among chickens, not because the other women weren’t beautiful.

But relatively speaking, Zhou Zhimei was even more stunning.

She returned to the grand hall.

In the great hall, there was a woman, although the woman was a middle-aged lady, her face was radiant, even compared to Zhou Zhimei, she was only slightly inferior.

But her charm definitely surpassed Zhou Zhimei, she was the Emei Heavenly Master, the only woman among the seven Great Elders, and her strength ranked fourth.

Emei Peak was under her control, becoming a beautiful attraction in the Infinite Sword Sect.

Only by becoming an elite disciple can one enter the elders’ doors; this is the rule. As for the Inner Sect Disciple and Outer Sect Disciple, they are taught by the Hall Master.

At this moment, the Emei Heavenly Master asked Zhou Zhimei, "Zhimei, how was this competition? Did you defeat that lad?"

She had high expectations for Zhou Zhimei.

"Master!"

Zhou Zhimei didn’t even know how to respond; she directly took out the broken sword.

The Emei Heavenly Master almost jumped in shock; she hadn’t expected Zhou Zhimei’s Orchid Sword to be broken, confirming her prophecy.

Thus, she asked, "Which lad did it?"

"Uh-huh!"

Zhou Zhimei said dejectedly.

The Emei Heavenly Master asked Zhou Zhimei, "Zhimei, why are you always gloomy?"

"Master, because he doesn’t seem to accept me!"

Zhou Zhimei had always firmly believed in this prophecy, so at this moment, her low spirits were quite normal, especially while she was in the water.

In despair, she felt Ye Fan kissing her, and that scene lingered in her mind, refusing to fade away.

The Emei Heavenly Master said, "I see, Zhimei, if he doesn’t accept you, then he doesn’t accept you. It’s just a prophecy, don’t take it too seriously!"

"But he has already had intimate contact with me!"

Zhou Zhimei said, blushing deeply; at this moment, she was very shy.
