Meanwhile, Ye Fan visited his father on Flying Immortal Star, and their long conversation ended with Father Ye grieving over how he had wronged Ye Fan and his mother.

After welcoming Ye Fan into the palace and reassuring him that their mother was well, the brothers began discussing a relative connected to Ye Fan’s visit.

• Ye Fan recognized that the Heavenly Mandate Palace master’s Quasi-Emperor aura did not mean he had fully broken through, then greeted him as his younger brother.
