Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn''t help but worry. Were the five members of the Green Dragon Force able to hold up against an entire


    family of martial artists?


    But she started to think about it in a different way.


    Ye Fan had died serving the country, so he was considered a hero to the martial arts circle.


    Logically speaking, the country ought to protect the surviving family of a fallen national hero.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng figured that even if the Lv family really coveted Ye Fan''s assets and tried to take over, they wouldn''t do it overtly


    or attract too much attention while doing such a thing.


    After all, such actions were considered despicable and hical, so the martial arts circle would definitely despise the family if


    they found out about their deeds.


    So she felt that the Lv family would just pull a few stunts quietly in order to mess


    Jiangdong up.


    If that was the case, then the five members of the Green Dragon Force should be more than enough to deal with any covert


    actions by the Lv family.


    Some of the panic and worry in Qiu Mu-Cheng''s heart dissipated after thinking about it this way.


    She told Li Er, "Master Er, let''s get the Green Dragons toe over as soon as possible. By hook or by crook, they must get


    here before tomorrow night!"


    Ye Fan had left in a hurry and didn''t arrange for a lot of powerful martial artists to protect Jiangdong.


    After all, Ye Fan hadn''t been too worried when he first agreed to go on this mission.


    He felt that the mission was going to be very simple and straightforward and he would return in no time, so he hadn''t made any


    ns or put any backups in ce before leaving.


    Ye Qing-Tian had told Ye Fan that all the representatives fighting for spirit energy fruits would be martial artists who weren''t even


    at grandmaster level.


    Ye Fan was a supreme grandmaster, so he could kill an entire army of such low level martial artists. It wasn''t surprising that Ye


    Fan considered this mission a simple one.


    There was no way that Ye Fan could have predicted that a simple fight for spirit energy fruits would turn out to be a gathering of


    supreme grandmasters.


    Thankfully, the Green Dragon Force that Ye Fan had groomed personally were still in China.


    Probably Ye Fan himself would never have dreamt that the few youngsters he agreed to train back then would turn out to be


    Jiangdong''s only defense against an impending attack by a martial arts power.


    Of course, there were other martial artists within therge province of Jiangdong.


    But they were mostly just learning martial arts for fun and were all very low level fighters, so they weren''t of much use in this


    situation.


    The only ones that Jiangdong could rely on at such times were the five members of the Green Dragon Force that Ye Fan had left


    behind.


    But the Green Dragons had gone to the wilderness for training.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng could only hope that they could return in time.


    The night passed quickly.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to go to work like she always did.


    Besides Li Er and the other two who were in the house that fateful day, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn''t tell anybody else about what


    happened to Ye Fan.


    She didn''t even tell her best friend, Su Qian, about it.


    This was a very grave matter, so if she didn''t tread carefully, Mufan Group would be in serious trouble.


    So Qiu Mu-Cheng kept this a secret from everyone else.


    In the evening, Qiu Mu-Cheng returned to Mount Yunding Vi.


    Shortly after arriving home, she received a call.


    It was from Ye Fan''s mother, Ye Xi-Mei.


    Mufan Group had a branch office in Fenghai, and Ye Xi-Mei was in charge of managing that office.


    It was now after office hours, so she figured that Ye Xi-Mei wasn''t calling about work.


    Her heart immediately trembled at this thought.


    She got herself mentally prepared, then picked up the call.


    "Hello Mum, how are you? I''ve been so busy at work and | haven''t had time to visit you," said Qiu Mu-Cheng in a gentle voice.


    "Hello Mu-Cheng, I''m doing fine. You should take care of yourself too, don''t tire yourself out. Where''s Ye Fan? Is he back yet?


    This terrible boy hasn''t called me in months."


    "What? He''s still not back yet? This fellow is really getting out of hand! Even if he doesn''t want his mother, I''m sure he still wants


    his wife, right? He''s the man but he''s out all the time and just leaves the heavy responsibility of handling thepany to his wife!


    If my precious daughter-inw copses from exhaustion, I''m going to break his legs!"


    "Mu-Cheng, this Ye Fan is not meticulous and doesn''t know how to care for you, but you have to be kind to yourself. Don''t


    always take on everything by yourself. There''s only so much one person can do. If you overexert yourself, you will fall ill. It''s


    alright to give yourself a break and rest from time to time." "Also, you''ve been married to Fan for some time now, so the two of


    you should think about having children. Before this, you were all busy with work and were still young, so | didn''t want to hurry you


    two. But it''s high time you two put this on your to do list." "You two would be more like a family with children. Men are like kites,


    and their wife and children are the string that holds them down. No matter how high and far they fly, as long as their wife and


    children are waiting for them at home, they''lle back."


    Ye Xi-Mei chatted with Qiu Mu-Cheng about everyday things over the phone.


    Her gentle voice was filled with concern and warmth for Qiu Mu-Cheng.


    Such a call at this time was like

    Her pretty eyes were bloodshot and her tears fell to the floor like shiny pearls in the light.


    "Mu-Cheng, what''s wrong? Are you ill? Why does your voice sound so nasal?" asked Ye Xi-Mei worriedly as if she had noticed


    something different about Qiu Mu-Cheng''s voice.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng quickly tried to control her emotions and wiped her tears away.


    “Mum, I''m fine, | just think | might being down with the flu. | have another meeting to attend to, so if there''s nothing else, I''ll


    hang up now."


    She was afraid that she might not be able to control her emotions and Ye Xi-Mei would smell a rat, so she quickly found an


    excuse to put the phone down.


    She didn''t tell Ye Xi-Mei about what had happened to Ye Fan and intended to keep it a secret for the time being. She would tell


    her mother-inw when the opportunity rose.


    Once she put the phone down, Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn''t hold her tears back anymore and started sobbing again.


    "Ye Fan, you awful man! Where on


    earth are you? | know you''re still alive,

    Just then, she heard the sound of apuse from outside the door.


    The door that was shut fast was pushed open from outside.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng looked up in shock to see Lv Hua pping away as he marched into the house with a smile on his face.


    The cold wind outside made his clothes p wildly.


    The icy moonlight shone on him, creating a foggy shadow on the floor.
