At that moment, Su Qingxue arrived. She had spent the most time with Ye Fan and was the woman who knew him best; she had seen through him almost completely.
Ye Fan put down the ancient tome and asked, "Qingxue, why have you come?"
"Can't I come?" Su Qingxue retorted impatiently.
"Of course, you can," Ye Fan hastily reassured her. "In this world, there isn't a place my wife can't go!"
Su Qingxue then said, "Ye Fan, the battle is tomorrow. I know you're not feeling confident."
"How could that be? I'm brimming with confidence!" Ye Fan immediately replied with a smile.
But when he saw the look in Su Qingxue's eyes, his bravado instantly deflated. He knew he couldn't hide his secrets from her.
"Qingxue, you're right, I'm not entirely confident," he admitted. "But I'm more than willing to take on the challenge!"
