Chapter 2356 Reunion


    "Yes. If you manage to contact him, please pass along my message. I would like to request a


    meeting with him," Zhang Nanhai said respectfully, showing deep respect for Ye Fan.


    However, Jiang Yuqing found this confusing. "Nanhai, given your current position, you can directly


    summon someone through War God Castle if you want to meet them. Why talk about requesting a


    meeting?"


    She added, "My cousin, despite his formidable strength and global fame, is no longer on the same


    level as you. Moreover, you created the Titan Formation. Ye Fan would undoubtedly be no match for


    those titans. Therefore, there''s no need to be so humble in front of him."


    Yet, Zhang Nanhai shook his head. "Yu Qing, you''re not part of the martial arts world, so there are


    aspects you don''t understand. In reality, it''s not just you. Many people in this world have


    misconceptions about Mr. Chu. Throughout these years, it was actually Mr. Chu who consistently


    led the charge in this world. Even I have merely followed in Mr. Chu''s footsteps, navigating my way


    forward. While I created the Titan Formation, it''s urate to say that I ventured in a new direction.


    However, Mr. Chu''s aplishments are no less significant than mine."


    Zhang Nanhai spoke with sincere conviction. However, it was clear that Jiang Yuqing didn''t grasp


    these nuances.


    She understood that over the years, Nanhai had devoted himself tirelessly to the cause of saving


    the world. He persistently researched and refined the Titan Formation to help humanity confront the


    impending doomsday crisis.


    As for her cousin, it was ironic that people once regarded him as the world''s strongest when, over


    the years, he had been preupied with thoughts of escape, contemting how to relocate his


    family and friends.


    Without her persistent resistance, Jiang Yuqing feared she might have been forcibly taken away by


    Ye Fan''s associates years ago.


    Back then, Li Er had mentioned the impending doomsday, expressing a desire to take them to a


    secure ce where they could survive, even if the world faced destruction.


    Regardless of the truth behind Li Er''s words, even if it were true, Jiang Yuqing had no inclination to


    hide away and simply endure.


    She was unwilling to be a deserter, and more importantly, she refused to give up on this world.


    Therefore, she steadfastly chose to stay, fighting alongside the people of this world.


    It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Yuqing''s attitude toward Ye Fan was somewhat awkward.


    She consistently held the view that, regardless of Ye Fan''s abilities, he didn''t deserve the title of a


    ''hero'' in her eyes.


    From her perspective, a genuine hero should resemble Zhang Nanhai—assuming responsibility for


    the world, sharing life and death with all living beings!


    Observing that his words weren''t making an impact, Zhang Nanhai decided not to press further.


    He knew that individuals like Chu Tianfan cared little about worldly opinions, having long


    transcended the ordinary realm. The man consistently followed what he believed was right,


    indifferent to misunderstandings from others.


    Nevertheless, Zhang Nanhai reiterated to Jiang Yuqing the importance of keeping an eye on Ye


    Fan''s whereabouts.


    Jiang Yuqing verbally agreed, but in her heart, she believed that if someone of Zhang Nanhai''s


    stature couldn''t locate Ye Fan, her chances were even slimmer.


    While she was nominally rted to Ye Fan, the reality was that their connection was merely in


    name. From childhood to adulthood, they had exchanged only a few words. How was this


    rtionship any different from that with a stranger?


    Unexpectedly, upon returning home from Zhang Nanhai''s ce, Jiang Yuqing found her parents


    had prepared a table full of food.


    "Mom, what''s happening? Why is there such avish spread? Are we expecting guests?" Jiang


    Yuqing entered the room, swapping her shoes while asking with a smile.


    The aroma of the food on the dining table was enticing, and she, already hungry, felt her stomach


    growling.


    Without bothering to wash her hands, she dashed barefoot to grab a piece of meat.


    "Hey, wash your hands first!" Ye Xn, Jiang Yuqing''s mother, reached out and lightly patted the


    back of Jiang Yuqing''s hand.


    Jiang Yuqing chuckled and, after washing her hands, eagerly inquired about who wasing.


    After all, Yanjing was a ce where her parents had recently settled, and she couldn''t recall them


    having any friends there.


    "Actually, he isn''t some outsider. We''re expecting your cousin, Ye Fan."


    tter!


    The chopsticks in Jiang Yuqing''s hand promptly fell to the ground.


    "Ye Fan? Hasn''t he been missing for many years? Why has he reappeared and is nowing to


    our ce? What is heing here for?" Jiang Yuqing expressed some displeasure.


    "What''s with that tone? What''s the matter? Aren''t you pleased to see your cousin? He''s a big shot


    now. If hees over, and you maintain this attitude, watch out, I might just hit you! Every inch of


    land in Yanjing is worth its weight in gold. We''re fortunate to live in this mansion, all thanks to your


    cousin''s influence. You must learn to be grateful! Moreover, Ye Fan is your eldest aunt''s son!" Ye


    Xn scolded.


    Clearly agitated, Ye Xn couldn''t understand why her own daughter was treating Ye Fan with such


    chilly indifference. She started recounting the kindnesses that Ye Fan had shown, urging her


    daughter to remember and reciprocate these favors.


    However, Jiang Yuqing grumbled, "Mom, this house was clearly a gift from Nanhai to our family.


    What does it have to do with Ye Fan?"


    Upon learning this, Ye Xn undeniably grew more uneasy. "Why is it so difficult for you to


    understand? Ye Fan arranged for someone to escort us out of Jiangdong. Despite your uncle and


    others leaving, you adamantly declined to leave, persisting in pursuing your education. In


    consideration of your well-being, your father and I had no choice but to stay. We even left our


    hometown, navigating the unfamiliar grounds of Yanjing. We had limited connections here, but


    fortunately, your cousin Ye Fan had some acquaintances."


    Continuing her ount, she added, "During that time, we were aware that the War God Castle in


    Mount Yan owed Ye Fan a favor. Seeking assistance, we approached the castle, hoping they could


    help us secure a residence near your school. It was Mr. Mo Wuya and Mr. Zhang Nanai who


    greeted us then. Upon learning that we were rtives of your cousin, Ye Fan, they promptly


    arranged housing for us. All our needs were met, from sustenance to clothing, lodging to


    transportation. They provided us with a mansion valued in the hundreds of millions and even


    supplied us with bodyguards for our safety."


    "Indeed, this house was a generous gift from Mr. Zhang. However, at that time, we had no familial or


    marital connections. If it weren''t for your cousin, why would they have shown such remarkable


    kindness to us when we first met?" Ye Xn expressed her frustration with evident anger.


    After her speech, Ye Xn couldn''t help but sigh. "I suppose your distant attitude is because you


    and Ye Fan weren''t close, and that''s my fault. I should have allowed you two more time together


    when you were younger. From childhood to adulthood, you barely exchanged a few words. Now, it


    feels like you''re strangers, without any familial bond."


    "Ye Fan has made a considerable journey to be here tonight. As his cousin, it''s your responsibility to


    make a positive impression. Building a closer rtionship with him only brings advantages, no


    disadvantages, my dear!" Ye Xn continued with her guidance.


    Simultaneously, a pang of regret echoed in her heart. She regretted not urging Jiang Yuqing to


    spend more time with Ye Fan during their childhood.


    Xu Lei, only a godsister, but due to her close connection with Ye Fan, he promptly elevated her to


    the prestigious position of the Queen of Yanjing.


    If Jiang Yuqing had shared a simr closeness with Ye Fan, wouldn''t she, at this very moment, have


    already achieved remarkable sess in her endeavors? Perhaps she would have carved out a


    distinguished reputation and reached great heights.


    While the mother and daughter were engrossed in their conversation, the doorbell rang.


    "Ye Fan has arrived!" Ye Xn expressed a hint of excitement, hurriedly leading her entire family to


    greet him at the door.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    As the door swung open, there stood the slender figure of Ye Fan, just as expected.


    "Aunt Xn, Uncle Yang, I wasn''t sure about your preferences, so I picked up some fruit for you," Ye


    Fan greeted his younger aunt and her family, holding a few gifts in his hands.


    "No need for formalities, Ye Fan. We''re all family here; there''s no need to bring anything," Ye Xn


    remarked. She then turned to her daughter, scolding, "Yu Qing, don''t just stand there, greet your


    cousin quickly."


    "Ye Fan." Only then, with a nk expression on her face, did Jiang Yuqing call out to Ye Fan, as if


    fulfilling a duty.


    At this, Ye Fan found himself quite surprised.


    After all these years, it was the first time he had heard Jiang Yuqing acknowledge him.


    He remembered his younger female cousin, always an exemry student since childhood, a person


    of remarkable talent and poprity.


    Among all their rtives, back then, Ye Yuyan was the only one whom this younger female cousin


    willingly engaged in conversation with.
