Ye Fanchen didn’t ramble on; he used concise language to explain to Ye Xunhuan.

Although Ye Fanchen thought he wasn’t being verbose, both Ye Xunhuan and Olivia found him somewhat loquacious.

Now, what Ye Xunhuan and Olivia wanted to know most was who Ye Xunhuan’s father was!

But Ye Fanchen seemed to deliberately keep them in suspense, with no intention of revealing it.

"Your mother is also a genius, not only in ancient martial arts but also in Qimen Dunjia," Ye Fanchen sighed.

At this moment, Olivia suddenly spoke up, "Old Chen, the Dragon Head has already explained this briefly to us. You don’t need to repeat it!"

"Now, the only thing we want to know is who Xunhuan’s father is!"

Ye Fanchen glanced at Olivia and then at Ye Xunhuan.

"Old Chen, there’s no need to mention unnecessary things, and I’ve met many people recently who have told me some things about my mother," Ye Xunhuan said calmly.

Ye Fanchen took a deep breath, "Your father is an unprecedented genius of the Ye family and the pride of everyone in the Ye family!"

"But your father’s temperament was too stubborn!"

Ye Fanchen smiled bitterly, showing a trace of helplessness, "Rather death than bowing!"

"I don’t need to say much about your father’s affairs; you already know a lot."

Ye Xunhuan’s expression turned solemn, and a bold guess slowly rose in his heart!

Olivia’s expression changed, "Could it be... could he... his father is... is..."

"Exactly!" Ye Fanchen took a deep breath, nodded, and said word by word, "Evil Lord!"

Evil Lord!

After these two words came out of Ye Fanchen’s mouth, although Ye Xunhuan and Olivia had already guessed the answer, their bodies uncontrollably trembled as if struck by lightning, shivering all over, and their breathing became slightly rapid.

Evil Lord, unexpectedly Ye Xunhuan’s biological father was the Evil Lord, a name that struck fear into everyone’s hearts, a person who could challenge all heroes with a single sword!

This was something Ye Xunhuan hadn’t anticipated, nor dared to imagine.

The name Evil Lord has a tremendous impact across Huaxia and even the world, and Ye Xunhuan is the son of the Evil Lord.

His mother, Qin Fenghuang, turned out to be the Evil Lord’s wife.

At that moment, Ye Xunhuan felt as if God was playing a big joke on him.

He once hated and resented why everyone had fathers who loved them while he had none.

Ye Xunhuan even thought that if he ever met his father one day, he would beat that bastard up.

But now Ye Xunhuan understood why others had loving fathers, but he did not.

It turns out his father was the Evil Lord, a man targeted by everyone.

Even if he were still alive, would he dare to appear by Ye Xunhuan’s side?

If he did, and others found out, it would bring endless disaster to Ye Xunhuan, putting him in unprecedented danger.

Thus, even if alive, the Evil Lord would not show up around Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Fanchen knew well that after Ye Xunhuan learned these things, he would need to calm his emotions, so he remained silent, waiting for Ye Xunhuan to adjust his mood.

After some time, Ye Xunhuan slowly said, "The reason the King wants to kill me is because of these, right?"

At that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s voice was low, carrying a hint of hoarseness.

"Half of it," Ye Fanchen replied softly, "The Evil Lord didn’t know your father, but he definitely had suspicions. Your smile somewhat resembles your father’s!"

"So he couldn’t be sure who your father was, but to the King, it didn’t matter. What mattered was your mother’s name was Qin Fenghuang, and that was reason enough for him to kill you!"

"Why?" Ye Xunhuan asked heavily, "Didn’t you say my mother rarely took action in front of others?"

"But that doesn’t mean she never acted," Ye Fanchen sighed slightly, "And given the strength and vast intelligence system of the Protectors, how long do you think you can hide?"

"The King wants to kill you and your mother!" Ye Fanchen said bitterly, "Even in the secluded Broken Cliff Residence, I knew that the reason your mother died young was due to the King’s meddling."

"Of course, it may also be your mother’s own choice to die!"

"Why?"

"For you!" Ye Fanchen said heavily, "If your mother hadn’t died, how long do you think you could have lived?"

"Would being an underground world leader be enough for you to survive?" Ye Fanchen said solemnly, "If the King wanted to kill you, even with some alliances with the West, he could easily dismiss them, and the Protectors could move in directly!"

"As long as the King said he would only kill Ye Xunhuan and then leave, tell me, aside from Olivia willing to fight for you, who else in the West would risk their lives for you?"

Ye Xunhuan fell silent.

Ye Fanchen spoke the truth; if the King truly wanted to kill him, if he went abroad, who would genuinely risk their life for him against such a colossus?

"Your mother’s death meant countless things you will never know," Ye Fanchen said firmly, "Things unknown to you can allow you to live a bit longer!"

"But only just a bit longer, and before dying, your mother arranged for you to marry the Xiahao family’s only granddaughter. Do you know why your mother did that?"

"She wanted you to survive, to leverage power," Ye Fanchen took a deep breath, "Xiahao Yunting and the King have a sworn friendship. If he acted against you, it would give others ammunition to criticize him!"

"Thus, if the King wanted to kill you, he could only do so covertly, without bringing it out in the open."

Ye Xunhuan fell silent once more; Ye Fanchen had said everything he already understood.

Qin Fenghuang arranged for him to marry Qiu Ruoxi to ensure survival, to find a pillar of support for her son so that even if she were gone, her son would have hope to live on!

"And for you to survive, did your mother not pay enough?" Ye Fanchen said heavily, "She used all the favors others owed her!"

"And she even used every favor others owed your father, to ensure that you would survive."
