A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

When has Ye Fan ever done such a thing?

and many more!

Ye Fan suddenly remembered something.

Before Tu Fei arrived, he seemed to have seen a similar topic in the Wenchun newspaper!

So, the Bunshun newspaper isn't entirely making things up... There really are some scandalous stories about him circulating lately!?

Chapter 187 No need for further words, let's head to the Myriad Desires Nunnery!

"Brother Tu Fei, could you tell me more about the gossip circulating about me?"

For some reason, Ye Fan had a bad feeling.

Tu Fei first gave Ye Fan several amused glances, then winked and made faces before replying:

"I don't know the specifics either."

"But I heard that the woman was deeply in love with you, and you... heartlessly abandoned her!"

"Besides that, I've also heard that she's very popular in the Holy City, and now some people are going to stand up for her and come looking for trouble with you!"

"what?"

Ye Fan was even more bewildered. People would stand up for others in something like this? Weren't those people just too idle?

"Brother Tu Fei, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I, Ye Fan, have always acted with integrity and have never done anything to wrong a woman. I believe this must be a rumor!"

Ye Fan felt both wronged and amused.

He felt wronged because he really hadn't let anyone down.

It's funny because... someone actually spread rumors about him, which shows he's really getting cocky.

"That's it! ... It must be those holy sons I defeated who are holding a grudge! They're deliberately trying to ruin my reputation!" Ye Fan quickly came up with a good reason.

However, Li Heishui still looked suspicious.

"Oh?"

"Brother Ye, don't try to hide it from us. Even if those holy sons are spreading rumors, at most they're just spreading false information. Is it really necessary for them to find a female cultivator who is top-notch in both appearance and talent?"

"Do you think a female cultivator with outstanding beauty and many suitors would need to spread rumors about you?"

"Ok?"

"Exceptionally beautiful...and has many suitors?"

Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed through Ye Fan's mind.

Could it be An Miaoyi?

But he and An Miaoyi were just strangers who met by chance and didn't even exchange more than a few words. How could that be considered a betrayal?

Could it be that... after he beat up the Holy Son last time, he didn't pay enough for the construction damage to Miaoyu Nunnery?

.......

Ye Fan found it very strange because when he last met An Miaoyi, An Miaoyi said that she and he were destined to be together, and that she thought highly of him. She said that if Ye Fan could defeat the other young talents in Miaoyu Nunnery who were interested in her, she would be willing to marry for him.

They're all willing to marry for him, so why would they spread rumors about him?

"Brother Tu Fei, Brother Hei Shui, do you know what that woman's name is?"

Tu Fei shook his head: "I don't know. I've only heard that she's a powerful female rogue cultivator, but nobody knows which sect she belongs to."

Li Heishui added, "Brother Ye, don't worry. How strong can a cultivator be who stands up for a female cultivator? She certainly can't be considered a prodigy. You could easily deal with her."

Ye Fan nodded, agreeing with Li Heishui's point.

He has now reached the fifth level of the Dao Palace, and few among his peers can rival him. Even if a Holy Son at the peak of the Four Extremes comes, he is confident that he can fight him, and even defeat him.

"Thank you both for the reminder."

"However... we'll meet force with force and water with water. I, Ye Fan, have a clear conscience and am not afraid of anyone causing trouble!" Ye Fan raised his glass.

"Great! Brother Ye is awesome!" Tu Fei and Li Heishui also raised their glasses in return.

.......

The three continued drinking.

When the wine was half-finished, Ye Fan suddenly remembered something.

"Brother Tu, Brother Li, when you came here, did you see a burly, rugged-looking young man?"

“I haven’t met him before, but from your description, is he the Brother Pang you mentioned to us before?” Tu Fei raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right, it’s him.” Ye Fan nodded.

"He asked me to meet him here today, saying he had something to discuss. But I waited for him for a long time and he never showed up."

As they were talking, Ye Fan suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking towards them from a distance.

The figure was eight feet tall and extremely strong, but his face showed signs of fatigue, making him look very strange. It was Pang Bo, whom Ye Fan had been waiting for!

"Pang Bo! Over here!"

Ye Fan hurriedly stood up and greeted Pang Bo.

When Pang Bo saw Ye Fan, a smile finally appeared on his dark face, and he quickly walked into the private room where Ye Fan was.

After Pang Bo went upstairs, Ye Fan finally got a clear look at Pang Bo.

Although Pang Bo was still burly, his face was haggard, his steps were unsteady, and he looked very weak.

If Ye Fan hadn't known that Pang Bo was always at the Tianxuan construction site and didn't have time to find women, he would have thought that Pang Bo was really suffering from kidney deficiency.

"Pang Bo, what's wrong with you? You look so haggard."

Ye Fan felt that as a good brother, it was necessary for him to care about Pang Bo's health.

Pang Bo: "........"

Pang Bo sighed, didn't respond to Ye Fan's words, but simply sat down next to Li Heishui, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ye Fan felt that Pang Bo was like a construction worker on a newly completed site on Earth, who didn't want to do anything but chug large bottles of iced tea.

.......

"Brother Ye, this brother must be the Brother Pang you mentioned, right?" Tu Fei asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you two don't know each other yet." Ye Fan immediately introduced them.

"Pang Bo, this is Tu Fei, and this is Li Heishui. They are both friends I met in the Northern Region."

"These two are descendants of the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region. The Thirteen Great Bandits specialize in robbing holy land families. Tu Fei and Brother Li are also quite righteous."

"Brother Tu, Brother Li. My name is Pang Bo, and I'm from Ye Fan's hometown. Since you two are Ye Fan's friends, then you're my friends too. Enough talk, let's drink!"

Pang Bo downed another bowl of the immortal wine, looking every bit the drunkard trying to drown his sorrows.

"Brother Pang is so generous! I'll drink it too!"

Tu Fei and Li Heishui quickly returned the greeting.

They could sense that although Pang Bo was exhausted, his blood and energy were vigorous, and his cultivation was not weak.

“Speaking of which, Brother Pang, you don’t look too well… Could it be… that you’ve been to Miaoyu Nunnery too much?” Li Heishui asked tentatively.

Pang Bo's face twitched. He wanted to go to Miaoyu Nunnery, but he didn't have the chance!

"Don't even mention it, I've been living a truly miserable life lately."

Ye Fan's heart tightened: "Pang Bo, what happened? Weren't you working and cultivating at the Xintianxuan construction site? How did you end up like this?"

Pang Bo hesitated, then drank another glass of wine before replying with a pained expression:

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Holy Lord Vivi... she's too much of a troublemaker."

"Weiwei?" Ye Fan was taken aback.

"What's up with her?"

Pang Bo looked around, as if Weiwei had vanished into thin air and was watching him.

Seeing that no one was around, Pang Bo felt relieved and lowered his voice to say:

"Isn't it because Holy Master Weiwei needs immortal spiritual energy to nourish her immortal spiritual eyes that she often goes to the construction site of the new holy land to cultivate?"

"Yeah, I know. What's wrong?" Ye Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

That's where things go wrong!

"It's one thing for her to cultivate, but the real problem is that she also took on the role of construction site supervisor!"

"Supervisor?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.

“Yes! The foreman!” Pang Bo said with a bitter and resentful expression.

"Ye Zi, do you know? On the construction site where Wei Wei is the supervisor, I carry bricks during the day and pour mortar at night, working ten hours a day! I can only rest for a while when my spiritual energy is exhausted!"

"Do you know how I've been doing this past month? I've been working as soon as I wake up, and sleeping when I'm tired. I've lost so much weight from hunger!"

Tu Fei and Li Heishui were dumbfounded.

“This…isn’t this a black slave?” Tu Fei blurted out.

Li Heishui nodded repeatedly: "That's too much! Even if Brother Pang is very dark-skinned, you can't be treated like a slave!"

Pang Bo was almost in tears: "That's right! I was only able to get out today because I made an excuse to come to the Holy City to buy materials. Otherwise, I'd still be mixing mortar on the construction site right now!"

.......

Ye Fan remained silent. Looking at Pang Bo's haggard appearance, he felt both sympathy and a desire to laugh.

To be honest, although Pang Bo looked miserable, Ye Fan could sense that Pang Bo's blood and qi were much stronger than before, and his cultivation had also improved a lot.

As for losing weight from starvation?

He really didn't think Pang Bo had lost weight from hunger.

Li Heishui and Tu Fei had never met Pang Bo before, so how could he not have met him?

Aside from getting a bit darker, he really didn't think Pang Bo had lost weight.
