It had happened more than once. Ever since the news of Ye Fan's death spread, those Supremes from the Folo Palace had been visiting from time to time. They only had one main purpose, which was to ask Junie if Ye Fan was really dead. After all, they had dealt with Ye Fan more than once. Ye Fan had already played the trick of faking his death twice with them.
The first time was by the shore of Eastsea, where Ye Fan ended his own life with a sword. A year later, he caused chaos in the martial arts world in India. The second time was during the great war at India's Folo Mountain. At that time, King Folo and the others truly believed that Ye Fan was dead. Nevertheless, they were proven wrong in the end.
King Folo remembered that time. Ye Fan made a return after disappearing for several months. First, he murdered the King of India, and then he destroyed the Folo Palace. Lastly, Ye Fan even forced them to become slaves and servants. As the saying went, everything that happened twice would surely happen a third time. King Folo and the others were clearly frightened by Ye Fan's tricks. Even if Ye Fan's corpse were to be brought to them now, King Folo and the others would still doubt whether this was a crafty escape played by Ye Fan.
Therefore, even if the whole world believed that Ye Fan had died a terrible death under the nuclear explosion, King Folo, Haibu, and the others still felt that Ye Fan might not be dead. They thought the reason for Ye Fan's disappearance for such a long time was that Ye Fan had been hiding in that unknown place to heal and cultivate. Nonetheless, these were just their doubts. King Folo and the others clearly still wanted to figure things out.
“These old geezers are really relentless.”
Upon hearing that King Folo and the others were once again inquiring about Ye Fan's situation, Junie's eyebrows immediately furrowed. In the end, she still let King Folo, Haibu, and the others enter.
“Miss Junie, I've finally met you. Upon learning about Mr. Chu's passing, we are deeply saddened and heartbroken. But you seem exceptionally calm. Judging by your reaction, could it be that Mr. Chu isn't dead at all, but alive and well?”
King Folo and the others looked toward Junie. Junie's face was expressionless as she asked, “I want to know, can anyone survive a nuclear explosion in this world?”
King Folo thought for a moment and shook his head. “It doesn't seem like it.”
“So, why do you think Ye Fan can survive?” Junie's response left King Folo and the others momentarily stunned. They felt that her words made sense but they felt something was amiss upon further thought.
Seeing their silence, Junie continued, “So, please don't come to me with such foolish questions again. I have other matters to attend to. Please leave.”
King Folo exchanged glances with Haibu and the others, then he forced a bitter smile.
“Since Ms. Junie doesn't want to tell us, we won't bother you any further. However, Ms. Junie, please rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure your safety here. I will never reveal the location of your Elysian Hall's base to those martial artists from outside the domain.” Junie nodded.
“Thank you very much.”
