Chapter 1021 The Meaning of Despair
Ye Yu-Yan lived up to her name as Lu Tian-He''s principal disciple. Her military boxing was wing.
She nearly crippled Lin Fan.
The man''s howls of pain could be heard across the whole barracks.
He was sent to the military hospital that afternoon.
Lin Qing-He was shocked when he heard that his son had been severely injured. He skipped a military
meeting and drove straight to the hospital to see his son.
When he returned to the barracks that evening, Lin Qing-He issued orders for Ye Yu-Yan''s arrest
immediately.
She was arrested on charges of assault and was going to be court martialed.
The young woman was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
Lin Qing-He called the shots in the military and she was but a young woman and a nobody. With a
snap of his fingers, he could get her dealt with.
Lin Qing-He wasn''t bothered by Lu Tian-He at all.
The general was miles away. No matter how influential he might be in Yanjing, he had no say in what
happened in Jiangdong.
Besides, Lin Qing-He had ordered his men to take away Ye Yu-Yan''s handphone. She had no way of
contacting anyone.
She couldn''t call Lu Tian-He for help even if she wanted to.
The princess of the Ye family had been cast into a dark and cold prison cell.
Everything had happened too quickly.
Ye Yu-Yan couldn''t ept what had just happened to her.
Ye Fan, who had already returned to the old Chu family home, had no idea what had happened to her.
"Did you miss me, Miss Yu?" teased Ye Fan when he returned to the old family home and saw Yu Yun
return from practicing her swordsmanship.
"Shut your stupid trap!" Yu Yun red angrily at him. She would have cleaved him in half with her
sword if she didn''t need him for her evening training. Her voice was frosty when she spoke next. "Get
your ass into the kitchen and whip up something for me if you still want to practice Dragon God Body
with me."
Ye Fan smiled wryly when he heard that. This young woman was treating him like her personal chef.
Ye Fan didn''t try to pick a fight with her. He would have offered to help out in the kitchen even if she
hadn''t mentioned a word.
Old Madam Chu was cooking inside.
Ye Fan exchanged some pleasantries with the olddy before he recalled the Revitalization Bath she
had brewed in the past.
The bathwater had healing and rejuvenating properties. It would improve the results of one''s martial
arts training.
If he wanted to train and build the Green Dragon Force within a short span of time, he was going to
need some of that Revitalization Bathwater.
"What? You want to soak those children in the Revitalization Bath?" Old Madam Chu shook her head
furiously when she heard Ye Fan''s request. "No way. That won''t do. You''ll kill them. The bathwater is
incredibly potent. Only people like you and Yun, who are practicing Dragon God Body, can survive a
soak in those waters and absorb its medicinal properties. Ordinary folks won''t be able to withstand it,
not even after I''ve diluted the water to one-hundredth of its original potency. They''ll suffer an overdose
and die. Besides, this is a family secret. I can''t let you take it and bring it into the military barracks."
The olddy refused Ye Fan''s request tly.
Ye Fan had expected her refusal though, and wouldn''t give up on persuading the olddy. "Great
grandmother, I''m not asking for theplete prescription. You could modify the original and write one
that''s suitable for their consumption.”
The olddy nodded. "That''s not a bad idea. I didn''t expect you to be so invested in this. I was
expecting you to mess things up!"
Ye Fan smiled. "I''m a man of my word. I''ve made a promise and I''m going to do my best to keep it.
Besides, I''ll have my own use for a powerful Green Dragon Force in the future."
Ye Fan wasn''t lying. His current efforts were partially fueled by personal interest as well.
He was the founder of the Green Dragon Force. A powerful and independent unit that was wielded by
the Chinese military as one of its strongest military units was only going to be boon to Ye Fan.
He would have someone watching his back and protecting his interests in
Jiangdong then.
By creating the Green Dragon Force, he was helping the military to train their soldiers and expanding
his sphere of influence at the same time.
"Alright. I''ll help you with the prescription and try my best to get it done within the next few days. You''ll
have it then." The olddy finally agreed to Ye Fan''s request.
"Thanks, Great grandmother," said Ye Fan merrily and with augh.
He spent the rest of the night training with Yu Yun.
The Dragon God Body inside them gradually absorbed the energies inside the other person.
But Ye Fan and Yu Yun failed to notice something. As their number of practices continued to grow, the
speed at which they were absorbing the energies from each other''s body had begun to slow down.
Ye Fan returned to the barracks the next day.
He gathered the members of the Green Dragon Force and handed them each a small booklet.
"What is this...? The Green Dragon Technique?"
The new recruits were surprised when they read the bold calligraphic words written on the booklet''s
leather cover.
They weren''t martial arts practitioners and thus had no idea what that meant.
"Don''t ask. We will be conducting training based on the contents of this book. You are to master this
technique within a month."
The Green Dragon Technique was the modified version of Dragon God Body.
It was considerably less powerful than Dragon God Body but sufficiently powerful to serve its purposes.
"Another thing. I''ve fixed a daily schedule for you. You''ll eat, rest, shower and sleep as I tell you to.
Anyone who goes against my orders will be punished ordingly. In addition, you''re not to share the
details of your training during this intensive training period. You may not contact anyone outside the
military. Don''t ask why. There is no ''why''. If you think you won''t be able to keep up with those rules,
now''s your chance to give up," said Ye Fan sternly.
Li Zi-Yang and the rest dared not voice anyints and instead, dered firmly that they epted
the rules that Ye Fan had set forthem.
The first day of their training began.
During their break, Ye Fan received news that something had happened.
Ye Yu-Yan had been arrested and was currently locked up in the military prison.
It was pitch ck in the prison cell.
Dressed in a prisoner''s garb and her eyes filled with helplessness and despair, Ye Yu-Yan huddled in a
dark and damp corner of her cell.
She was leaning against the wall, her legs pulled close to her and her face buried between her knees.
The pride and joy of the Ye family who had strutted proudly down the streets of Qingyang had be
a pitiful and hapless prisoner.
Ye Yu-Yan was convinced that she had never felt as utterly devastated and hopeless as she was
feeling now.
She dared not think about her fate. What if they sentenced her to ten years in prison? What would
be of her?
A flood of despair, fear and indignation surged within Ye Yu-Yan and threatened to pull her under.
She finally broke down and wept like a child.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Tears soaked her shirt.
Once upon a time, she had been convinced that she had a bright future ahead of her.
Now, she saw nothing but darkness. The road ahead of her was a tunnel that was filled with despair.
She saw no light at the end of it.
