"A dream?"
Master Zhang asked in surprise, "Perhaps Miss Ye has met this person before. You didn't pay much attention, but your subconscious remembered his face, which is why you dreamed of him."
"It's like how you suddenly feel a sense of familiarity with a certain environment, person, or even event, as if you've seen or experienced it before. These are all due to the subconscious, nothing to be surprised about."
"Miss Ye, there's no need to dwell on it."
Ye Qingcheng gently shook her head, "This dream is very strange..."
She hesitated for half a minute before saying, "In the dream, I became very seductive, and we were entangled together, it was incredibly real, as if it happened in reality..."
The subsequent events were too embarrassing for her to articulate.
For a woman who detested men, such an ambiguous dream was worse than death itself!
"Miss Ye, how many times has this kind of dream occurred?!" Master Zhang asked anxiously.
Ye Qingcheng recalled, and images of her with Lin Fan flashed in her mind...
She shook her head painfully, "At least five times."
Master Zhang's brows furrowed, "In the dream, what did he do to you?"
Ye Qingcheng gritted her teeth, unwilling to describe the scene.
However, she knew Master Zhang's abilities were extraordinary.
Since Master Zhang was pressing, it meant this was not a simple matter.
"In the dream... he played hide-and-seek with me, I gave him wine, and then we..."
Although Ye Qingcheng didn't finish, the implication was clear.
Master Zhang's face turned ashen, "Indeed, indeed!"
"What is it?"
"Mirror Flowers, Water Moon, a high-level sorcery technique of the Witch Sect..."
Master Zhang briefly explained the principle and effect of Mirror Flowers, Water Moon to Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng's complexion turned extremely grim.
Who would use such a method to control her, and for what purpose?
"Could it be him?"
Ye Qingcheng's delicate body trembled, and she looked in the direction Lin Fan had departed.
"Miss Ye, find a way to keep him here. After a few days of observation and probing, this old woman should be able to find the source," Master Zhang volunteered.
"To have a man stay here..."
Ye Qingcheng felt displeased. This villa was filled with women, and the sudden presence of a man could lead to awkward situations.
"Miss Ye, this is the only way at present. If he is using Mirror Flowers, Water Moon to control you, then he must also be dreaming of you, and experiencing the exact same dream."
Upon hearing Master Zhang's words, Ye Qingcheng's expression changed drastically.
If they were both in the same dream, and it was so real, as if they had done things in reality, wouldn't that mean...
She dared not imagine what would follow.
"Do as Master Zhang says. If it is indeed him, kill without mercy!"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes. She would not allow any man to defile her, not even in her dreams!
Master Zhang took out her phone, sent a message to Ling'er, and then quietly melted into the darkness.
—
Meanwhile, as Lin Fan and Ling'er neared the lake, Old Master Liu was still practicing Tai Chi.
"Yo, young man, out so quickly."
Seeing Lin Fan, Old Master Liu greeted him first.
He looked no different from an old man in the countryside, not like a super mogul at all.
Lin Fan smiled and waved, "Elder, are you feeling unwell lately? I can help treat you."
Old Master Liu patted his leg, "I'm in great health, eating well, and feeling wonderful!"
Lin Fan smiled mysteriously, "Then would you like to have a few more children?"
"Lin Fan!"
Ling'er put her hands on her hips and glared at him, "Grandpa Liu is eighty years old. If you spout any more nonsense, I won't see you out!"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes, "It's even better if you don't see me out. This island is full of rich people, I'll go door-to-door treating them."
"You..."
Ling'er felt like she was talking to a brick wall.
Of all the people she had met, Lin Fan was the most ill-mannered.
Old Master Liu waved his hand, "Ling'er, it's fine, it's fine. I actually find young friend Lin interesting, he's not a bad person."
He had completely retired and was no longer involved in societal affairs.
The reason he lived in seclusion here, besides the pleasant environment of Jin Hu Island, was that when he was out in society, he was always accompanied by over a dozen bodyguards, and people flattered him wherever he went.
He was truly tired and bored of that kind of life.
He had thought that everyone on Jin Hu Island would be like him, super moguls, with equal status, so there would be no need for pleasantries and politeness.
Unexpectedly, the residences here were divided into grades.
He, the number 2 mogul, except for not having met the number 1 mogul, still received courteous and somewhat flattering treatment from everyone else.
Ye Qingcheng wasn't like that, but that girl was too quiet.
He finally met Lin Fan, this fearless young man, who suited his temperament perfectly.
"Grandpa Liu, this fellow is just ignorant of his limits. Give him an inch and he'll take a mile. Please don't take him seriously. I should hurry and send him away."
Ling'er was afraid that this rascal Lin Fan might accidentally anger Old Master Liu to the point of causing him harm.
"No rush, no rush. I like this young fellow. Let him chat with me," Old Master Liu said with a kind smile.
"But..."
Ling'er pouted, looking quite unhappy.
Old Master Liu deliberately put on a stern face, "If your young lady asks, tell her to come find me."
With his words, Ling'er couldn't hinder him any further.
"Young friend Lin, what you just said, is it true?"
Old Master Liu pulled Lin Fan to his side and asked with a chuckle.
Lin Fan thumped his chest, "Of course it's true! Go ask around in Luofeng Village and the surrounding villages, how many old men became incapable twenty years ago, and I helped them regain their vigor!"
Old Master Liu's eyes lit up, "In that case, it has some credibility."
"As long as you are not physically incomplete, even if the child born has any illnesses, I can cure it," Lin Fan said confidently.
"If young friend Lin speaks the truth, this old man can promise you three wishes," Old Master Liu declared.
Ling'er, standing behind them, immediately flushed crimson.
Was this still the dignified and desireless old grandfather she knew?
Just listening to Lin Fan's nonsensical talk, he had become so lecherous!
"Hmph! Men, truly, none of them are good!"
Ling'er's face was filled with disdain.
Old Master Liu explained, "Little Ling'er, you are still young. When you get married later, you will understand."
Lin Fan interjected, "For men, the greatest pain is to be old and have no one to rely on, and no pleasure."
"Pah! A pile of twisted logic!" Ling'er scoffed.
Old Master Liu laughed heartily. He greatly liked Lin Fan's straightforward personality, devoid of malice.
