《God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me》


 Chapter 1: Chapter 1: A Family of Ten Heroes!

    South of the Yangtze River, the Ye Family Courtyard was pervaded by a thick atmosphere of destion.


    Elder Ye Changfeng sat expressionless at the head, with ten urns arranged in a row on the long table before him.


    A three-star general d in camouge solemnly stood by the side, his face heavy as he opened the death notices in his hands.


    "Ye Zhengguo, 48 years old, died in battle in the Northern Region on July 28th, no remains were left."


    "Ye Zhenghua, 43 years old, died in battle in the Eastern Region on July 28th, no remains were left."


    "Ye Lingtian, 27 years old, died in battle in the Southern Region on July 28th, no remains were left."


    "Ye Lingjun, 26 years old, died in battle on the Southeastern Frontier on July 28th, no remains were left."


    ...


    After the ten death notices were read out, the entire hall fell eerily silent.


    Ten loyal and courageous members of the Ye family''s third generation had died in battle on the same day across the Six Major War Zones of Great Xia, almost wiping out the Ye family. Such grief caused the air throughout the entire courtyard to feel stifling.


    Boom! Boom!


    Above the Ye Family Courtyard, thirty-six fighter jets roared as they circled overhead, with neen gun salutes sounding off in unison. The rms were sounded throughout, and the g was lowered to half-mast, bidding farewell to the loyal fallen of the Ye family.


    But all these could not change the grim fate of the Ye family''s fallen.


    "Old general, the enemy''s n was too meticulous this time. We didn''t foresee such a tragedy, condolences..." The three-star general Ning Yu bowed towards Ye Changfeng, his voice somewhat hoarse.


    The Ten Great Proud Sons of Heaven from the Ye family had all been ambushed and killed on the same day in different War Zones of Great Xia.


    Even a fool would know that such a coincidence was impossible!


    This was a calcted operation aimed atpletely eradicating the Ye family!


    Ning Tao nced at Ye Fan, who stood behind Ye Changfeng, thest sole scion of the Ye family.


    Five years ago, Ye Fan was the number one prodigy talent of Great Xia, but following a car ident, he had be an idiot.


    At this moment, Ye Fan, holding a pink Little Pig Peiqi in his arms, had a foolish look on his face, seemingly unaware of what had happened.


    What nobody noticed was the faint glimmer of gold suddenly emerging on a jade pendant on Ye Fan''s chest, followed by a soft crack. The pendant shattered on the spot, revealing uniform cracks. Strands of golden light burst from the broken pendant and quickly entered Ye Fan''s body.


    In an instant, a look of sharp intelligence shed through Ye Fan''s otherwise nk stare.


    "Damn! I actually sealed myself for five years... speechless..."


    Five years ago, the 15-year-old Ye Fan had already stepped onto the path of martial arts, mastered Energy Transformation, achieved control, broke through to the Grandmaster Realm, and became rightfully the number one prodigious talent of the younger generation in Great Xia.


    But while Ye Fan was researching how to break through to the Martial Venerable Realm using Rune Talismans, he was suddenly hit by a car. Following a series of unfortunate events, he locked two of his three souls and six of his seven spirits inside the jade pendant on his chest, leaving only a single soul and spirit to support his body through five clueless years.


    With his soul iplete and his martial power lost, his intelligence dropped to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.


    Therefore, to outsiders, Ye Fan had be aplete idiot after the car ident.


    However, only Ye Fan himself knew that it was merely because his soul had been temporarily sealed. Without external assistance, he could only wait for the Soul Locking Talisman to lose its effect, and that wait had been five years.


    With his soulpletely restored, Ye Fan''s intelligence and talents instantly returned, and his lost martial power had not only been regained but had broken through above Grandmaster, reaching the Pinnacle of the Martial Venerable Realm, cing him at least among the top ten in all of Great Xia.


    Looking at the ten urns before him, Ye Fan''s expression grew incredibly grim.


    Three of those urns belonged to Ye Fan''s eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle, while the remaining seven were for his seven older brothers from the third generation.


    Standing behind the urns of the seven brothers were seven stunning beauties in in clothes.


    These were the seven sisters-inw who had not yet joined the family through marriage.


    Eldest sister-inw Yu Linglong, the Great Xia Valkyrie, the strongest female general among the younger generation!


    Second sister-inw Ling Yanqiu, the heiress of the Ling Family, one of the four major families in the Capital, with immense wealth influencing the whole of Great Xia.


    Third sister-inw Shen Mange, an international superstar and the goddess in the hearts of countless men.


    ...


    Seventh sister-inw Su Yixue, from the Su Family of the medical world in the Southwest, had half a kingdom in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.


    All seven brothers had perished in battle, and these sisters-inw who had not yet been wed did not forget their ties of affection; they actually all came to attend the funeral, which touched Ye Fan''s heart deeply.


    "Commence the mourning!"


    At the head of the room, Elder Ye Changfeng sternlymanded, and the seven sisters-inw, holding the urns of ashes, made their way out of the courtyard!


    At this time, the vast open space outside the Ye Family Courtyard was already filled with people.


    The old general had devoted his entire life to military service, and yet the Ye Family met with such a fate.


    The crowd was all sighing incessantly!


    "Everyone, the sons of the Ye Family died for their country, a worthy death... The Ye Family, as long as I am here, will not fall..." Ye Changfeng went up on the stage and spoke into the microphone for two sentences.


    But halfway through his speech, Ye Changfeng could not go on; the white-haired man sending off the ck-haired man, the Ye Family nearly annihted. As an old man in his twilight years, Ye Changfeng was already on the brink of copse!


    Ye Changfeng, with a choked voice, adjusted his emotions and looked at Ye Fan standing beside him, feeling the weight in his heart lift ever so slightly.


    Ye Fan was now the only hope for Ye Changfeng, although he was considered foolish, at least he was still alive.


    s!


    He no longer hoped for him to achieve anything; after the funeral, they should promptly arrange his wedding with the Xuan Family, it would be for the best if he could continue the Ye Family lineage.


    Even if he couldn''t leave a descendant, with the marriage to Xuan Yufei, at least after his own death, the Xuan Family could protect Ye Fan for the rest of his life.


    At the scene, everyone who saw Ye Changfeng in such a state was deeply moved.


    "Ah! It hasn''t been easy for the old general. The Ye Family established grand military merits for the empire back in the day; it''s tragic to see them like this now..."


    "Isn''t it so! Ten great generals of a family being attacked and killed on the same day, it''s too abnormal!"


    "They''re trying to uproot thempletely, and this matter must have had inside help �C and from a very high position at that!"


    "Shush! Don''t talk nonsense, do you want to bring disaster upon yourself?"


    Just when there was amotion at the scene, suddenly two figures quickly walked towards the stage.


    "Ladies and gentlemen! Please excuse the interruption, taking advantage of the presence of so many people here as witnesses, I, Xuan Zhengguo, on behalf of Princess Yu, would like to announce something..."


    The one who went up on the stage was the second son of the Xuan Family, Xuan Zhengguo, and beside him was the youngdy of the Xuan Family, Xuan Yufei!


    "You are all aware, back in the day, the Xuan Family and the Ye Family had an engagement! But now, Ye Fan has be a fool, and my Xuan Family has decided... to annul the marriage, please nod your approval, Old Master!" Xuan Zhengguo, holding the microphone, announced the news with an indifferent tone.


    Yet, these words were undoubtedly a bombshell at the scene.


    Suddenly, everyone started to stir!


    What?


    The Ye Family has faced such a great cmity, and the Xuan Family wants to cancel the marriage at this time?


    How is this any different from kicking a man while he''s down?


    "That''s too cruel! Is the Xuan Family in such a hurry topletely sever ties with the Ye Family?"


    "s! Probably the Xuan Family is afraid. With the fall of the Ye Family, those enemies will definitely take action against families close to the Ye Family. If the Xuan Family does not annul the marriage, they might be the first to be dealt with!"


    "But there was no need to be so hasty, how could Elder Ye bear this?"


    Swish swish!


    All eyes turned towards Ye Changfeng, filled with concern.


    "You..."


    Pfft!


    Ye Changfeng had only spoken a single word when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and staggered backward, falling to the ground.


    The nearly eighty-year-old Old Master Ye finally fell!


    The Xuan Family''s annulment became thest straw that broke Ye Changfeng...

 Chapter 2: Chapter 2 We are willing to branch out for the Ye Family!

    By Ye Changfeng''s side, the adopted son he had taken in years ago, Xu Jian, hurriedly reached out to support him, "Father, take care of yourself! Don''t worry, you still have Xu Dong and me, we will continue to support the whole Ye Family!"


    Xu Jian was the adopted son Ye Changfeng had taken in many years ago, and Xu Dong was Xu Jian''s son.


    Because Ye Changfeng''s biological sons and grandsons were all serving in the military, almost all the affairs of the Ye Family business were managed by Xu Jian and his son.


    Behind Ye Changfeng, Ye Fan, who had nowe to his senses, gripped the Little Pig Peiqi tightly in his hand, struggling to suppress the rage in his heart, and scorched Xuan Yufei with his gaze.


    Xuan Yufei and Ye Fan grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and their rtionship had always been very close.


    More than ten years ago, the Ye Family and the Xuan Family had arranged a marriage for them while they were still children. The entire Southwest, as well as the whole of Great Xia, knew that Xuan Yufei was the bride-to-be promised to Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan had considered everyone might leave him, but he had never imagined that Xuan Yufei would, especially not at this moment.


    "Princess Yu, you won''t be my wife anymore?"


    Clutching the hem of her dress and not daring to look directly into Ye Fan''s eyes, Xuan Yufei lowered her head with a guilt-ridden voice, "I''m sorry, Brother Fan�� I can''t marry you!"


    Five years ago, when Ye Fan had be an idiot, Xuan Yufei had never thought of breaking off the engagement. After all, back then, Ye Fan had the support of the powerful Ye Family, and even if Ye Fan had be foolish, his future life wouldn''t be too miserable.


    But now, with the Ye Family almostpletely annihted, leaving only an eighty-year-old, frail old man and an idiot with the mental capacity of a seven or eight-year-old child, where would her future hopes lie if she were to step into the Ye Household again?


    Xuan Yufei took a moment to adjust her emotions, and the instant she looked up, there seemed to be a firm resolve in her eyes, "Sigh, if only you weren''t an idiot, how wonderful that would be!"


    "If I weren''t an idiot, you would still marry me, right?" Ye Fan continued to stare at Xuan Yufei, the affection from growing up together leaving him with a sliver of hope in his heart.


    Xuan Yufei hesitated, "I��"


    Before Xuan Yufei could continue, her second uncle Xuan Zhengguo hurriedly interrupted, "Hmph! You stupid fool, stop dreaming. Even if you returned to normal, what would it change? Do you think the Ye Family is still the same as before? Can you return to being the genius prodigy you once were?"


    "Besides, even if you did fully recover, you are now the sole scion of the Ye Family. Who knows how many people are eyeing your life? How long can you hold out? I certainly don''t want Princess Yu to end up a widow!"


    Although Xuan Zhengguo''s words were harsh, they instantly awakened Ye Fan.


    Indeed!


    All the males of the Ye Family had perished on the same day, and thinking back to his ident five years ago, Ye Fan was very clear that someone was intent on uprooting the Ye Family.


    If he were to recover now, enemies would not hesitate to take his life.


    Even though he might be able to cope, those responsible for the Ye Family''s ughter would likely be cautious and hide.


    In an instant, Ye Fan''s eyes darkened, and he had already decided to continue feigning idiocy. Using his supposed foolishness as a cover, he would secretly root out each and every culprit involved in the harm against his family, ensuring they paid their blood debts in full.


    As for Xuan Yufei, let it be left to fate!


    Seeing that Ye Fan remained silent, Xuan Zhengguo wore a self-mocking smile, "I forgot, you can''t understand me anyway!"


    Xuan Zhengguo''s mouth twitched as he turned his attention back to Ye Changfeng, who still had traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, and continued, "Old Master Ye, you are aware of the situation. Please let the Xuan Family go, let Princess Yu go!"


    Whoosh!


    The insistence from Xuan Zhengguo caused the crowd to erupt into surprise once again.


    "The Xuan Family has gone too far! s! The Ye Family haspletely fallen. I''m afraid after the Xuan Family breaks off the engagement, no one will be willing to marry that idiot Ye Fan, right?"


    "There''s no hope for the Ye Family anymore! Such a pity... Considering Old Master Ye''s condition, he won''t live many more years. By the way, Old Zhang, didn''t you say the fish at Dongyang Tower is delicious? Let''s hurry over to get a spot. If we''rete, there will be no ce left!"


    "This... Isn''t that inappropriate? The Ye Family''s funeral hasn''t even ended, and we''re leaving?"


    "What''s wrong with that? Whether you attend the funeral or not doesn''t matter anymore. Trying to get noticed by Elder Ye now is less effective than inviting Xu Jian and his son to the footbath city a few more times. Let''s go, let''s go!"


    In the courtyard, there were many who shared the same thought, and already a quarter of the guests had risen, making no attempt to hide their readiness to leave.


    When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall copses, everyone pushes!


    This is the cruel reality!


    Having just vomited blood, Ye Changfeng was propped up by Xu Jian, his face deathly pale. He watched the deste scene unfold before him, his lips trembling as he tried to speak, but not a sound could escape.


    Ye Fan stood on the stage, coldly eyeing those who were leaving, etching the faces and behaviors of each one into his memory.


    Soon, this young master will make you all deeply regret your actions today!


    Below the stage, in the front row holding the urns of their husbands, the seven stunning sisters-inw grew angry and stamped their feet. After exchanging nces, they followed the lead of the eldest sister, Yu Linglong, and walked towards the stage.


    "Xuan Yufei, if you won''t marry him, we will!"


    "I, Yu Linglong!"


    "I, Ling Yanqiu!"


    "I, Shen Mange!"


    ...


    "I, Su Yixue!"


    "Are willing to marry Ye Fan, to bear offspring and spread the branches of the Ye Family!"


    In resounding cries from the stage, like seven sharp swords, they pierced through the dark clouds that shrouded the sky.


    The scene fell silent as death itself!


    Those who were preparing to leave froze in mid-step.


    Below the stage, some people with their mouths wide open had forgotten the words they were about to speak.


    In the presence of a thousand people, every movement seemed to be frozen in an instant, fixed at that precise moment.


    The only moving parts on everyone were their eyes, their pupils dted as they stared, dumbstruck at the seven stunning girls on the stage.


    Their seven brothers had died in battle, and now their widows-to-be intended to consummate marriage with their brother-inw?

 Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Sister-in-law, dont mess around, Im not a fool anymore!

    ```


    Hiss!


    After about ten seconds ofplete silence, the crowd took in a sharp breath, and then suddenly, like a pot exploding, they began to buzz.


    "Holy shit! This is a sight I''ve never seen before��seven sisters-inw entering the Ye Family Courtyard at the same time, all marrying that idiot Ye Fan?"


    "Damn! Have all these beauties lost their minds? Everyone from the Ye Family has died in battle, and this is the best time to cut ties with the Ye Family!"


    "Exactly! Any one of those seven is stunningly beautiful, a true gem among women, yet they''re marrying that idiot Ye Fan together? How are we supposed to live with this?"


    "What courage! They actually didn''t abandon the Ye Family at this time and brought honor to the Ye Family!"


    "Not necessarily! I don''t think it''s that simple. Their public deration is probably just to save some face for the Ye Family. Let''s wait and see how things unfold!"


    Those who were about to leave quietly retracted their steps at the unexpected turn of events and quietly slipped back into the courtyard.


    The actions of the seven stunning sisters-inw were like a massive rock thrown into ake, causing towering waves to ssh.


    Xuan Yufei suddenly looked up, her piercing gaze attempting to see through the souls of Yu Linglong and the others.


    She couldn''t fathom what was going through the minds of these extraordinary girls.


    Everyone was trying to sever ties with the Ye Family, yet they were going against the current, firmly binding themselves to the Ye Family?


    Seeing Yu Linglong and the others step forward and ce their seven hands on Ye Fan''s hand, Xuan Yufei felt an emptiness in her heart as if she had lost something very important.


    Ye Changfeng tightly held Yu Linglong''s hand, his voice choked with emotion, "Linglong, Yan Qiu... Thank you... Thank you..."


    Regardless of their true intention, the fact that Yu Linglong and the others stood up at this critical moment to make their decision, at least salvaged the reputation of the Ye Family and made things less difficult for Ye Changfeng.


    Yu Linglong sincerely looked at Ye Changfeng, "Grandfather, I''m still your eldest granddaughter-inw, it''s just that the person I''m marrying is different. Leave the rest to me!"


    She paused, then turned to look at Xuan Yufei with sharp eyes.


    "Xuan Yufei, I hereby dere as Ye Fan''s wife, your engagement with Ye Fan is nullified as of this moment!"


    "Scram!"


    The domineering words exploded from Yu Linglong''s mouth, apanied by the rolling aura of murderous intent emanating from her!


    Everyone present felt the hair on their necks stand up!


    "Shit! Why do I feel like the temperature just dropped several degrees instantly?"


    "No wonder she''s Great Xia''s Number One Valkyrie, her aura suppresses everyone�� If Ye Fan were still the monstrous genius he used to be, the two of them would indeed make a perfect match!"


    "Let''s just wait and see. Maybe Ye Fan will wake up one day and recover?"


    The atmosphere at the scene started to shift following the deration made by Yu Linglong and the others.


    The Ye Family''s seven stunning brides-to-be fiercely defended their husband, giving people a glimpse of hope, and most felt relief for Old Master Ye.


    However, within the crowd, Young Master Zhao, Zhao Tianlong, had a face as dark as thunder.


    "What the hell?! Dammit! I''ve had my eye on Su Yixue for so long. I thought after the Ye Family was wiped out, I would have my chance, but now��" Zhao Tianlong clenched his fist in anger, "Is Su Yixue''s brain damaged? Opting to marry an idiot, and as a sister-inw at that!"


    Beside Zhao Tianlong stood another young man with sses, also looking displeased.


    "Young Master Zhao, calm down! Maybe things aren''t as they seem. Perhaps Su Yixue is just joining the others in putting on a facade! They can''t possibly all really marry Ye Fan�� If they do, it will be troublesome for my father to takeplete control of the Ye Corporation, and we won''t agree to that!"


    The young man with sses was none other than Xu Jian''s son, Xu Dong. The near-annihtion of the Ye Family was a reason for them to be most delighted, as they could openly and rightfully seize the Ye Corporation with no sessors in the Ye Family remaining.


    But the sudden decision made by Yu Linglong and the others disrupted their rhythm.


    "That makes sense! Humph! If Su Yixue dares to get intimate with Ye Fan, I''ll kill that idiot in a minute!" Zhao Tianlong snorted coldly. In his eyes, killing Ye Fan was as easy as crushing an ant. "Right, Young Master Xu! Tonight, my Zhao Family is hosting a business banquet, and the bigwigs from the Xia Family of Provincial City will also be arriving. Perhaps Young Master Xu might find an opportunity for cooperation!"


    The entire scene was in an uproar, but the central figure, Ye Fan, was surrounded by seven gorgeous sisters-inw, looking seemingly clueless and calm.


    But in reality, his heart was already churning with giant waves.


    Holy crap!


    I''ve just woken up, and now I''m inheriting several beautiful sisters-inw from my brothers?


    Sisters-inw, don''t mess around, I''m not an idiot anymore!


    However, Ye Fan also knew that with the seven sisters-inw dering in front of so many people that they would marry him, no matter whether everyone believed it or not, the enemies targeting the Ye Family would likely choose to believe it.


    If Yu Linglong and the others hadn''t made their decision public, the enemies of the Ye Family might not have made their move against them.


    ```


    But when they actually announced their intention to marry Ye Fan, those enemies seeking to suppress the Ye Family would certainly not let any of them go.


    Since they had initiated a campaign topletely eradicate the Ye Family, they would never give them a chance to rise again. Any intimate power that might help the Ye Family regain its prominence would be eliminated.


    In such a situation, Ye Fan probably couldn''t refuse even if he wanted to.


    s!


    Ye Fan sighed deeply, a trace of depth shing in his eyes. Whether it was to protect the memory of his seven deceased brothers or to consider his own future, he had to be stronger as quickly as possible. He had to bring the Ye Family back to its glorious peak.


    Only when he was strong enough could he seek vengeance for the massacre and protect his seven stunning sisters-inw!


    "The funeral procession begins!" the resonant voice of Grandfather Ye Changfeng brought Ye Fan''s thoughts back to the present.


    At this moment, Ye Changfeng''s emotions were also influenced by Yu Linglong; his voice was loud and clear, and the gloom in his eyes was swept away.


    All the teams in the courtyard started moving, escorting the ten loyal martyrs of the Ye Family to the Cloud City Cemetery!


    ��


    Outside the Ye Family Courtyard, Xuan Zhengguo and Xuan Yufei had already left ahead of everyone else.


    Seeing the low spirits of Xuan Yufei, Xuan Zhengguo consoled her with weighty words, "Princess Yu, your uncle knows how close you were to Ye Fan, but you also know the current situation. There''s no hope for the Ye Family now! The Xuan Family cannot go down with them!"


    "Although Yu Linglong and the others have dered their intent to marry Ye Fan, do you really think that''s possible? It''s just to save face for the Ye Family!"


    "By the way, there''s a business banquet tonight organized by Young Master Zhao. It''s said that a big shot from the Provincial City hase to Cloud City to discuss investments. Young Master Li had called me earlier to invite you; why don''t you give him a call now?"


    Young Master Li, mentioned by Xuan Zhengguo, was none other than Li Yunyang, the eldest son of another powerful family in Cloud City, the Li Family.


    The fall of the Ye Family was an opportunity for Xuan Zhengguo to find another powerful ally for the Xuan Family.


    Xuan Yufei, looking exhausted, shook her head faintly and said, "No need, uncle. I''m a bit tired. I''ll go back and rest for a while, and I''ll attend the business banquet on my ownter in the evening."


    Having said that, Xuan Yufei sadly got into her car and drove away from the scene.


    Watching her retreating figure, Xuan Zhengguo couldn''t help but shake his head, "s, Yufei, you''re still too young. For the sake of the Xuan Family, your uncle has no choice but to do this!"


    ��


    At the Cloud City Cemetery, after all the guests had left, Ye Changfeng finally let out a deep sigh, "Linglong, Yan Qiu�� Yixue, thank you all for today!"


    The Xuan Family''s sudden withdrawal from the marriage at the funeral had almost caused thest bit of dignity for the Ye Family to be lost. Thankfully, the presence of the seven granddaughters-inw helped salvage some face for the family.


    "Now that the funeral of my seven grandsons is over, you all can leave as well, sigh," said Ye Changfeng, still believing that the earlier decision announced by Yu Linglong and the others was insincere.


    Yu Linglong and Su Yixue stood their ground, not moving, and Su Yixue stepped forward to speak to Ye Changfeng, "Grandfather! When we said we wanted to marry Ye Fan, we were not joking! Though Ling Tian and the others have died for the country, the Ye Family''s lineage cannot end here. We are willing to bear children for the Ye Family to continue the bloodline!"


    "What?" Ye Changfeng looked at Su Yixue and the others, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the seven girls. Seeing their serious expressions, he was somewhat stunned, "Why go through such hardship? What for?"


    Yu Linglong stepped forward and respectfully spoke to Ye Changfeng, "Grandfather! In life, we belong to the Ye Family; in death, we are the Ye Family''s spirits... Those people plotted against the Ye Family so viciously, we cannot let this go unresolved! The seven of us sisters have discussed it; each one of us will take turns apanying Ye Fan for a month. We are determined to preserve the Ye Family''s lineage and make those responsible pay!"


    Pfft!


    Ye Fan, standing behind Ye Changfeng, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing Yu Linglong''s words.


    This�� the seven sisters-inw intend to be serious?


    Each one to apany him for a month?


    What do they think he is?


    A seeding machine?


    Noticing the change in Ye Fan''s mood, Yu Linglong abruptly turned her head, her piercing gaze fixed on him, confusion evident in her expression.


    Seeing that Ye Fan still wore a bewildered look, Yu Linglong''s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Perhaps it was her own misperception?


    A moment ago, Yu Linglong thought she felt a strong fluctuation in Ye Fan''s aura.


    If Ye Fan was still a fool, it was quite unlikely that he could mobilize such fluctuations of his aura, right?


    After hesitating for a few seconds, Yu Linglong moved two steps closer, her gaze fixed on Ye Fan as she spoke, "Ye Fan, I don''t know if you can understand my words right now, but do not forget��you were once Great Xia''s Number One genius, and you once stood on the peak. Surely you can do it again!"


    "Us seven innocent girls have decided to marry you; from this moment on, we are your wives! Our fates are now tied to yours, for better or for worse... If you have even the slightest rity of consciousness, then quickly pull yourself together, protect the Ye Family, and avenge your uncles and brothers!"


    "Furthermore, regardless of whether you''re truly a fool or just pretending, we seven have chosen you. If you dare betray any one of us, I swear I will chase you to the ends of the earth with a knife in hand!"

 Chapter 4: Chapter 4 I will definitely not let you down!

    ```


    Hearing Yu Linglong''s words, Ye Fan was moved, and his nose couldn''t help but feel sour.


    Risking the scrutiny of odd gazes from all around, seven girls chose to marry him at the same time. What determination and courage that must have taken!


    With that in mind, how could he not pull himself together?


    By his side, Su Yixue was somewhat touched as she spoke, "Elder sister, aren''t you being too harsh on Ye Fan? After all, his intelligence hasn''t recovered yet."


    Yu Linglong''s eyebrows twitched slightly, "The previous checks confirmed that there is nothing wrong with Ye Fan''s head, and his nerves haven''t been affected at all. We must be missing something. I have recently made contact with the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue. He will definitely find a solution. I''ll spare no expense to have him treat Ye Fan!"


    To invite the Divine Doctor Lei Qianjue to treat him?


    A thought struck Ye Fan''s heart. If Lei Qianjue came, it would perfectly coincide with a n of his own.


    Ye Fan had already investigated; although his grandfather appeared fine on the surface, thetent injuries from battles in his youth,bined with such a heavy blow, were nearly crushing him.


    Without proper care, he feared his grandfather didn''t have much time left.


    Although Ye Fan was extraordinarily skilled in medicine, he now needed to feign ignorance. To care for his grandfather without raising suspicion, he couldn''t act directly. But if Lei Qianjue were toe, he could use Lei''s assistance to provide the necessary care.


    At this thought, Ye Fan waved his hands, holding his bangle and chirped, "Yay! Yay! I want to be treated, I want to be treated!"


    At this moment, Ye Fan still needed to continue ying the fool.


    Yu Linglong watched with furrowed brows, feeling that something was amiss but couldn''t quite put her finger on it.


    The other six stunning girls looked at Ye Fan with eyes full of sympathy.


    Stepping forward, Su Yixue embraced Ye Fan, soothingly saying, "Ye Fan, don''t worry, we sisters will definitely find a way to cure you! Even if we can''t, we will take care of you for the rest of your life, and bear you many, many chubby little boys!"


    By the end of her speech, the seven girls'' faces were flushed with embarrassment.


    Although, at the funeral, in their urgency, they had made such a decision, they were, after all, innocent maidens. When it came to such private matters, they couldn''t help but feel shy.


    Yu Linglong, being the oldest at 26, was somewhat moreposed, "Grandfather, here''s our n! Since Yixue is in Cloud City, she will take care of Ye Fan during the first month. Then, for the second month, Qing Run from Flower Capital in Provincial City will take his care, and then for the third month..."


    Yu Linglong described everyone''s n, as Ye Changfeng listened on the side, his tears flowing uncontrobly.


    "Good girls! Grandfather thanks you all!"


    As he spoke, Ye Changfeng knelt down toward Yu Linglong and the others.


    The seven sons of the Ye Family were dead, so by rights, the affairs of the Ye Family should have had nothing to do with these granddaughters-inw who had not yet married into the family.


    Yet they were willing to sacrifice their innocence to continue the Ye family lineage.


    This was an enormous favor!


    Frightened, Yu Linglong and Su Yixue hurried to help Ye Changfeng up from the ground, "Grandfather, you mustn''t! You mustn''t! Together we''ll work hard, and the Ye Family will surely grow stronger!"


    Ye Changfeng stood up and, with a serious look, said to Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, remember this: no matter if you can return to normal in the future, you must treat these seven girls well, understand? If you dare let them down, grandfather will personally end your life!"


    It''s easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to send coal in snow!


    In such adversity, the kindness of the seven sisters to Ye Fan, and to the Ye Family, how could Ye Fan forget?


    Ye Fan silently swore in his heart, I definitely will not let you sisters down!


    But for now, you will have to endure some hardship for a while.


    "Oh!" Ye Fan responded, seemingly a bit at a loss to those around.


    Su Yixue, feeling pity for him, pulled Ye Fan beside her, "It''s gettingte, so today I''ll take Ye Fan back with me! There''s a business banquet organized by Zhao Tianlong tonight, and it''s a good opportunity to take Ye Fan out!"


    Upon hearing the name Zhao Tianlong, Ye Fan''s heart suddenly lurched, and a familiar image surfaced in his mind.


    Five years ago, when Ye Fan had a car ident, in thest moments before he lost consciousness, he saw the driver in the cab �C a man with a scar on his face.


    ```


    And just now, while he was in the Ye Family Courtyard, Ye Fan had seen the man with the scar standing right beside Zhao Tianlong.


    The car ident that happened years ago must surely be tied to the Zhao Family.


    A sharp glint shed in Ye Fan''s eyes!


    If that was the case, then revenge would begin with the Zhao Family!


    ...


    In the Ye Family Courtyard, Ye Changfeng had just returned home and nearly copsed into a chair.


    Looking at the empty courtyard, Ye Changfeng couldn''t help feeling sorrowful once again.


    The Guard Captain, Leng Feng, stood by respectfully and reported in a low voice, "Elder Ye, ording to the intelligence, Xu Jian and his son have recently been intensifying their ns to liaise with the major shareholders, aiming to transfer and upy Ye Corporation''s assets. What do you think..."


    Ye Changfeng waved his hand, "I''ve known about their little moves for a long time, those assets worth hundreds of billions, the Ye Family never really cared for them! But now, since those seven girls have chosen to protect Xiao Fan, I need to leave something for them. Pay more attention to thepany''s situation and ensure everything is within controble limits."


    "Yes!" Leng Feng responded, his lips moved twice, and catching a glimpse of the family photo hanging on the wall, his voice choked up again, "Elder Ye, the young masters must have been plotted against, those people are too ruthless..."


    Ye Changfeng leaned powerlessly in his chair, saying helplessly, "I know, and I can more or less guess some of the people who took part in the plot, but now... the Ye Family, s, what good does it do knowing?"


    A family, no matter how decadent or prosperous, fears nothing more than having no sessors.


    Elder Ye indeed had very strong influence in the military, but all the males with talent and potential in the Ye Family had perished, and what could Ye Changfeng''s prestige do?


    Could the Ye Family rely on an idiot with the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old child?


    Moreover, even if the seven daughters-inw chose to continue marrying Ye Fan, that could only dy the decline of the Ye Family.


    Unless all seven girls could quickly bear children for Ye Fan, and Elder Ye could live at least another twenty years, ensuring the growth of the fourth generation of the Ye Family!


    If that was the case, perhaps the Ye Family would still have a chance to rise again!


    "Ah! If only the young master could recover from his idiotic state!"


    ...


    In the Northwest, within a dim courtyard, an elder knelt devoutly before a Buddha statue, holding several sticks of incense respectfully, praying.


    By the door, a young man in camouge waited until the elder stood up before presenting a stack of documents, saying, "Elder Zhang, there''s news from Cloud City. The funeral went smoothly, and Ye Changfeng''s demeanor was normal, there are no major disturbances in the Northern Heavenly Dragon Army!"


    "However, there was a minor incident at the funeral. The Xuan Family called off their engagement with the Ye Family, but Ye Fan''s seven sisters-inw announced in public that they would marry Ye Fan to spread the Ye family''s branches. What should we do about this?"


    Hmm?


    Upon hearing his subordinate''s report, the elder snorted coldly from his nostrils, exuding an aura of authority that only those in high positions possess.


    "Presumptuous! Are they not clear about what awaits the Ye Family? We must punish them severely, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey! Isn''t the Su Family just in Cloud City? Then let them see the consequences of getting close to the Ye Family." The elder paused for a moment, then continued, "Additionally, keep a close watch on Ye Fan. If he shows any anomalies, take action immediately!"


    As he spoke, the elder made a throat-slitting gesture to his subordinate.


    One moment he was devoutly offering prayers, and the next, he was treating human life as if it were worthless.


    With a single sentence, he decided a man''s life or death!


    In Cloud City, at this time, Su Yixue had brought Ye Fan back to her residence. After changing into a new set of clothes, she was hurrying with Ye Fan to a banquet organized by the Zhao Family.


    "Ye Fan, when we get to the event, could you please not say anything out of ce? Just stay close to me obediently, and I will protect you!" Su Yixue gently hugged Ye Fan''s arm, her eyes filled with tenderness.


    Once, Ye Fan had been such a dazzling prodigy.


    "Okay, sister-inw!"


    Su Yixue was taken aback, then coquettishly tapped him gently on the shoulder, her face blushing as she said, "Still calling me sister-inw? From now on, you should call me wife, you know?"

 Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Zhao Tianlongs Provocation!

    "Great! I''ve got a wife again, so good, so happy!" Ye Fan was exuberant at that moment, dancing with joy like a little child.


    Watching him made Su Yixue''s heart ache!


    Once, this youngest uncle of hers was an exceptional figure, an envy of the heavens, perfectly matched in talent and beauty with Xuan Yufei. They were hailed as the golden couple of Cloud City. And now... at the Ye Family''s most difficult times, the Xuan Family had chosen to abandon the Ye Family.


    She vowed to cherish this man deeply; the Ye Family could not be allowed to fall!


    "Yes! Xiao Fan, be good, Yixue will forever be only your wife!" Su Yixue tightly embraced Ye Fan, letting her bosompletely cover Ye Fan''s face.


    This was the first time Su Yixue had such intimate contact with a man, and though she felt shy, she was also very determined.


    What Su Yixue didn''t realize was that when her heartbeat elerated, a warm current fed back into her body, nourishing and cultivating it, making her feel as though she were basking in the spring breeze!


    At the same time, Ye Fan also felt the warm current feeding back into his body.


    Deep in Ye Fan''s dantian, a me flickered with the rhythm of the warm current, and after passing through the me, it transformed into Martial Arts Qi, prating into Ye Fan''s veins and rapidly enhancing his strength.


    This was the secret of how Ye Fan had entered the Grandmaster Realm at the age of 15!


    The mysterious me within the dantian could transform into Qi Force that would rapidly enhance his own strength whenever he came into contact with a girl who experienced emotional fluctuations. Even when he wasn''t in contact with any girls, the me would still autonomously generate a warm current, turning it into Martial Arts Qi and thus boosting Ye Fan''s strength at a pace many times faster than normal cultivation!


    "Miss Su, the family head and the second elder are inside, please go over by yourself!" Ye Fan was checking his Martial Arts Qi when a butler came over and spoke to Su Yixue.


    Su Yixue frowned, "I''ll be right there!"


    Su Yixue knew why her uncle and the others wanted to see her. Her announcement today, in front of so many people, of her intention to marry Ye Fan, could bring disaster upon the Su Family.


    "Xiao Fan, you wait for me in the car, don''t wander off, I''lle to find you soon!" After arranging Ye Fan in the car, Su Yixue turned and quickly walked towards the banquet hall.


    Ye Fan watched Su Yixue''s retreating figure, a firm resolve forming on his lips.


    "Don''t worry! Sister-inw, from the moment you decided to protect the Ye Family and me, I, Ye Fan, will surely offer you the most splendid life possible!" Beyond the mysterious ember flickering within Ye Fan''s body, he possessed a thumb ring that hid a colossal power capable of shaking the whole world, he just hadn''t activated it yet.


    Ye Fan had the strength to protect them!


    Let those who seek to destroy the Ye Family, from this moment on, tremble!


    ...


    At a corner of the banquet hall, at a table, Su Minghao, the second eldest of the Su Family, spoke to his older brother, Su Honghai, with irritation, "Big brother, isn''t Yixue acting absurdly? She and Yu Linglong announced that they want to marry that idiot Ye Fan?"


    "Indeed! Who doesn''t know about the current situation of the Ye Family? Whoever gets close to the Ye Family is on the path to ruin! We are already being decent by not kicking them while they are down, why must Yixue drag the entire Su Family into this mess?" The Su Family''s third son also expressed indignation.


    Online, the news that Yu Linglong, Su Yixue, and the seven sisters-inw had publicly announced their intention to continue with their marriages to Ye Fan was already exploding across the inte!


    It was like putting the Su Family on the grill, "Big brother, it''s about time you took control of Su Yixue!"


    "If you ask me, Su Yixue''s actions shouldn''t allow her to continue serving as the president of Su Corporation... She should be directly expelled from the family to avoid implicating us!"


    The core disciples of the Su Family, one after another, were indignantly ming Su Yixue.


    Sitting at the head of the table, Su Family Patriarch Su Honghai had been quiet until everyone had almost had their say, and then he spoke indifferently, "You seem to have forgotten how our Su Family started. Without the protection of the Ye Family, would we have the Su Family we have today?"


    "I think Yixue did nothing wrong!"


    With that single sentence from Su Honghai, the crowd instantly fell silent.


    Back then, the Su Family was nothing more than a small workshop in Cloud City. It was by serendipity that the elder of the Su Family met Ye Changfeng, and with the support of the Ye Family, they gradually became a renowned pharmaceuticalpany in the Southwestern Region.


    "Big brother... but this isn''t the way to repay a debt of gratitude! If Ye Fan were still the prodigy he once was, marrying him off to Yixue, I would have no objections, but now..." Su Minghao had barely started speaking when he received an email. After reading it, his expression changed instantly, "Big brother, look, some suppliers have suddenly announced their refusal to cooperate with us!"


    "I''ve received simr news. The distributors said that some big shot informed them to fully boycott Su Corporation!"


    In just a few seconds, key executives of the Su Family received an influx of information from numerous suppliers and distributors. Arge portion of their business partners abruptly dered an end to their cooperation, effectively pulling the rug from under the Su Family.


    Clearly, those behind the scenes had started targeting the Su Family!


    Making an example out of the chicken to warn the monkeys!


    Su Honghai listened to the continual reports with a frown. From the moment Su Yixue publicly announced her decision, Su Honghai had anticipated this oue and was not surprised.


    "We were nning a coboration with the Xia Family of Provincial City this time, but now it''s probably gone down the drain. We''ve truly been destroyed by Su Yixue!"


    As everyone was expressing their regret, Su Yixue stepped into the room from the doorway, bowed to everyone, and said, "I know what everyone is worried about, but what I have to say is, our Su Family initially developed with the help of the Ye Family. Now that the Ye Family is in trouble, we cannot fail to lend them aid. Even if Su Corporation falls, what''s wrong with us starting over with our own small workshop?"


    "As human beings, we must understand gratitude! If anybody feels my decision is improper, you''re free to sell your shares and take your money to leave now, I will not stop you!"


    Su Yixue might have been extremely gentle in front of Ye Fan, but in front of these key senior members of the Su Family, she was decisive and forceful, effectively silencing everyone with her words.


    "Tonight, I will do my best to secure a partnership with the Xia Family! As long as we can secure the coboration with the Xia Family, Su Corporation won''t copse so easily!"


    ...


    At the entrance, after Su Yixue left, Ye Fan also got out of the car and walked towards the banquet hall!


    Having lived in a daze for the past five years, he had finallye to his senses and it was time to reacquaint himself with the world.


    "Yo! Isn''t this the Ye Family''s idiot? What brought you here..." Just as Ye Fan entered the banquet hall, Zhao Tianlong blocked his way with a wicked smile, "What, got hungry and thought you''d find something to eat here?"


    While speaking, Zhao Tianlong and his friends exchanged nces, a cold sneer emerging in their eyes, "Come on! Don''t say we don''t care for the intellectually disabled. Let''s offer Young Master Ye a drink first!"


    As he spoke, Zhao Tianlong threw a cigarette butt into a ss of wine and stirred it around, spit in the ss several times, and urged his friends to add a bit more to it. The wine in the ss turned a urine-yellow color before he handed it to Ye Fan, "Here! Drink it, it''s delicious!"

 Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Teasing but Ended up Being X

    "Oh!" Ye Fan took the wine cup bewilderingly and held it up to the light to look for a long time, "Is this how fine wines are made? So pretty!"


    Such a foolish and silly demeanor caused Zhao Tianlong and the others to burst into mockery, "Yes, that''s the fine wine I''ve made for you, drink up!" Zhao Tianlong urged Ye Fan, his eyes revealing a shade of darkness.


    A moron, an idiot, and seven absolutely gorgeous sisters-inw announced they were going to marry him?


    Why?


    If it were before, when the Ye Family was still at its peak, even if Ye Fan was a fool, Zhao Tianlong would never dare to bully him. But now, with all the core disciples of the Ye Family gone, and only this idiot left, who would say anything if they bullied him?


    Ye Fan brought the wine cup to his nose to sniff, and just when everyone thought he was really going to drink it, Ye Fan suddenly said, "No, something''s missing!"


    At that moment, coincidentally, a janitor pushing a bucket for mops passed by, and looking at the filthy ck water in the bucket, Ye Fan quickly scooped up half a cup with his wine cup, stirred it, "Now it should be perfect!"


    Zhao Tianlong and the others, seeing Ye Fan''s cup turn into a turbid ck liquid, were dumbfounded for a few seconds before breaking into heartyughter.


    "Haha! He really is a fool!"


    "Yeah! Damn it, he''s actually going to drink the mop water��that mop just cleaned the toilets!"


    "Today Ye Fan is definitely going to embarrass himself to the extreme! Quick, get your phones ready, record it clearly, andter we''ll post it online! Let''s see how Yu Linglong and Su Yixue still have the face to marry Ye Fan!"


    As everyone eagerly waited for Ye Fan to drink it, he suddenly took two steps forward, walking up to Zhao Tianlong.


    Before Zhao Tianlong could react, Ye Fan suddenly aimed the wine cup at Zhao Tianlong''s mouth.


    Zhao Tianlong instinctively wanted to dodge, but discovered that Ye Fan''s wrist had grabbed his neck like a pair of iron tongs, making it impossible for Zhao Tianlong to move. Moreover, Ye Fan had pinched something in his neck causing Zhao Tianlong''s mouth to involuntarily open in an "O" shape, and the wine from Ye Fan''s cup was poured right into Zhao Tianlong''s mouth.


    Glug!


    A full cup, including the cigarette butts from before, was wholly swallowed by Zhao Tianlong.


    Seemingly worried that Zhao Tianlong might not breathe smoothly, Ye Fan even thoughtfully patted him on the chest, "Drink slowly, don''t choke!"


    "How is it? Tastes good, right?" Ye Fan asked innocently with his big, meless eyes, his face full of naivety.


    "Ah! Fucking... bleargh..." Finally realizing it, Zhao Tianlong jumped up on the spot, "Son of a bitch, idiot, why the hell didn''t you drink it? Fucking... bleargh..."


    Zhao Tianlong was nearly going insane with rage, angrily pushing Ye Fan away and cursing at him.


    At this moment, Zhao Tianlong felt so nauseous he wanted to rip open his stomach and wash it out with water!


    Damn it!


    He knew too well what had been in that wine cup; it contained his thick phlegm, and that of several buddies��and crucially, Ye Fan had added the ck water used to mop the toilets. How could he have swallowed such a cup of filth?


    "Yixue, my wife, told me not to drink alcohol! You inviting me to drink fine wine made me very happy, so I wanted to invite you to drink it as well!" Ye Fan smiled at Zhao Tianlong, his face showing an innocent smile, but his heart let out a coldugh.


    Me, deal with you pieces of trash?


    Five years ago, from that thumb ring, what Ye Fan inherited wasn''t just the flickering inheritance, improving his Martial Arts strength. Inside the ring was also the sealed hundred years of experience in dealing with matters from thirteen masters. Strategy, tactics... Ye Fan had mastered them long ago.


    Dealing with people like Zhao Tianlong was absolutely a piece of cake!


    Hiss!


    The onlookers had now snapped back to reality,ing to the realization that Zhao Tianlong, who had nned to humiliate Ye Fan, had actually shot himself in the foot by drinking that filthy concoction.


    As everyone was shocked, they were also somewhat curious. Was Ye Fan truly foolish, or was it all an act?


    "Eugh!" Next to Zhao Tianlong, a few of his pals could barely contain their urge to vomit.


    It was simply too disgusting!


    With rage boiling over, Zhao Tianlong leaped to his feet and yelled, "Dammit, what are you all gaping at? Beat him up for me. If he dies it''s on me. He dares to make a fool of me, he''s asking for death!"


    As the eldest heir of the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianlong had always been pampered, living a life surrounded by adoring fans. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?


    While berating his bodyguards and buddies, he simultaneously reached for his own throat, attempting to throw up what he had just drunk, but it was ineffective. Aside from dry heaving, he couldn''t vomit anything out.


    Worse, Zhao Tianlong could feel the liquid turning in his stomach, emitting a bizarre and foul stench.


    Whoosh!


    Immediately, several bodyguards and Zhao Tianlong''s friends prepared to join forces for an attack on Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan''s gaze turned sharp. Were they nning on getting tough?


    Without showing a few tricks, do they really think I''m easy to bully?


    "Stop right there! I dare anyone toy a finger on my Brother Fan!" Just as Ye Fan was about to fight back, a robust figure shed swiftly to his side.


    Like a towering fortress, this figure arrived without any hesitation, grabbing one of Zhao Tianlong''s bodyguards with each hand and, with a swift motion, mmed the two men into each other!


    Bang!


    Those two stocky men, both over six feet tall, were knocked out cold by the impact.


    "As long as I, Wang Fugui, am here, try touching my big brother and see what happens!"


    The new arrival was Wang Fugui, a brother to Ye Fan since childhood. Wang''s grandfather had been Ye Changfeng''s aide-de-camp when he was young, and the two families had a very close rtionship. Wang Fugui had mingled with Ye Fan since they were kids, content to y the role of junior even when Ye Fan was a genius and prodigy.


    Five years ago, when Ye Fan had his fall from grace as a prodigy, Wang Fugui did not alter his perception and remained loyally by Ye Fan''s side, fending off many troubles for him.


    Wang Fugui, nearly two meters tall with a sturdy build since childhood, had a decent Martial Arts foundation. Not yet twenty, he had already reached the Martial Arts Control Realm. He was considered a top-notch expert in Cloud City and was extremely protective, with an exceptionally stubborn nature. Three years ago, because someone called Ye Fan a fool, Wang Fugui fought relentlessly night and day for three days. Since then, everyone had been wary of provoking Wang Fugui.


    Now, with Wang Fugui making a sudden appearance and knocking out two bodyguards with a single move, the crowd gathered around took a few steps back, wary of him.


    "Young Master Zhao?" A few of Zhao Tianlong''s buddies hesitated, looking to him for instruction on how to proceed.


    Zhao Tianlong himself knew that with Wang Fugui there, the chances of making a move at the party were likely gone. "Disperse! Hmph! Wang Fugui can protect him for a moment, but can he protect him forever? Order the men to bring more backup, and after the party, find a chance to kill him... Damn it, if he doesn''t die, Su Yixue will never agree to marry me... Ugh... Dammit, get me to a toilet, I''m gonna puke..."


    Though Zhao Tianlong was unwilling to let things be, he had no choice at the moment.


    "Big brother, are you okay? I just got back from out of town, and I''ve heard about the Ye Family... Don''t worry, big brother. Even if the Ye Family is no more, Old Wang will definitely protect you with his life, not letting those bastardsy a finger on you!" Turning around to face Ye Fan, Wang Fugui spoke with pure sincerity, "Big brother is meant to be favored by the heavens. It''s those bastards that are blind to your worth. Come on, let''s find sister-inw!"


    "Hehe! Big brother, you''re so lucky. Even though Xuan Yufei didn''t know what she had and called off the wedding, you now have seven beautiful sisters-inw who''ve married you... Haha, if you were lucid, you would be over the moon with joy!"


    As Wang Fugui walked into the venue with his arm around Ye Fan''s shoulder, his mouth rattled on like a machine gun, ceaselessly chattering away.


    "???" Everything was fine up until thest sentence, which left Ye Fanpletely dumbfounded. Do I look like that kind of person?

 Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Fool Actually Knows an Important Person?

    Ye Fan frowned for a moment, and Wang Fugui seemed to sense something, turning his head and abruptly looking at Ye Fan!


    That resolute look in his eyes seemed to say,


    Yes!


    Big brother, you are just that kind of person!


    "Big brother, why do I suddenly feel that you are different from before? Have you woken up?" Wang Fugui asked with a surprised face, grabbing Ye Fan''s arm and shaking it.


    Ye Fan was somewhat surprised, thinking, This kid, is his perception so sensitive?


    "Old Wang, I want a drink!" Although Ye Fan was touched that Wang Fugui still stood by his side despite the difficult circumstances, it wasn''t time to reveal himself yet.


    Before thoroughly checking out the enemies targeting the Ye Family, Ye Fan would continue to y the fool.


    Wang Fugui''s expression became a bit dim, "Alright! Big brother, I''ll go get it for you!"


    "Xiao Fan, how did you get in here? Are you alright?" Just as Wang Fugui was about to get up, Su Yixue hurried over from another side of the hall.


    She had just dealt with the Su Family''s matters and heard that Zhao Tianlong was bullying Ye Fan, so she hurried over. Seeing Ye Fan and Wang Fugui together, she silently sighed in relief.


    "Sister-inw, hello!" Upon seeing Su Yixue, Wang Fugui quickly stood up straight and respectfully called out to her, but he changed the previous address of sister-inw to little sister-inw.


    What that meant, Su Yixue naturally understood.


    "Such a sweet talker!" Su Yixue rolled her eyes at Wang Fugui, "Didn''t Xiao Fan get into any trouble just now?"


    "My big brother, would he be at a disadvantage?" Wang Fugui quickly recounted what had just happened to Su Yixue, and when he mentioned that Ye Fan had actually made Zhao Tianlong back down and drink the water used for washing mops, a hint of doubt shed in his eyes.


    Ye Fan had been mentally incapacitated for five years, yet suddenly he was so astute?


    Or was it just an ident?


    "Little sister-inw, I feel like there''s something different about my big brother''s presence than before! I vaguely feel that my big brother is waking up, but the way he''s acting doesn''t seem like it, ah!" Wang Fugui expressed his inner doubts.


    Su Yixue nodded, "Don''t worry! Sister Linglong has arranged for the Great Xia Medical Saint, Mr. Lei, toe to Cloud City soon to diagnose Xiao Fan, and we''ll know what''s going on then!"


    Because of what had happened, Su Yixue didn''t dare to leave Ye Fan alone, keeping him constantly by her side, greeting various business elites in Cloud City, and also introducing Ye Fan''s identity.


    The purpose was very clear!


    It was to dere to everyone that although the Ye Family was currently facing a sneak attack and had fallen into a low state, the Su Family stood by their side and would always protect the Ye Family. Even if Ye Fan was a fool, the Su Family would use all their strength to protect him.


    It was not until the business banquet officially started that Zhao Tianlong was helped out of the restroom, pale-faced, and he took the stage, "Ladies and gentlemen! The purpose of today''s business banquet is to provide a tform formunication... ugh..." Seeing the trash bin next to him, Zhao Tianlong couldn''t help but vomit again.


    "Besides the elites from Cloud City present today, we are also fortunate to have Mr. Xia Hao, President of the Xia Corporation from Provincial City! Our Zhao Family is very keen to establish cooperation with Mr. Xia Hao. The Xia Family''s channels extend throughout the Southwest; if the Zhao Family has the support of the Xia Family, we will surely soar! Now, please wee Mr. Xia!"


    Zhao Tianlong was proud, for the Xia Family, as a powerful family from Provincial City, had an influential scope throughout Southwest. This time, they were interested in entering Cloud City, and numerous families hoped to cooperate with the Xia Family and rise with their channels.


    And Zhao Tianlong seemed to have taken the lead by inviting Mr. Xia and organizing such a banquet.


    If Xia Hao was to cooperate, the Zhao Family would definitely be the first choice.


    "This son of the Zhao Family, although he is not particrlymendable, his methods and abilities are indeed not to be underestimated!"


    "Right! Now that the Zhao Family has hooked up with the Xia Family, they''re definitely going to soar. I''m afraid they''re about to be Cloud City''s number one wealthy family!"


    "Ugh, boring. Today''s event is just Zhao Tianlong''s show-off fest, isn''t it?"


    p! p! p!


    In the midst of the apuse, a fit man in his fifties took to the stage, grabbed the microphone, and began, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor toe to Cloud City! Our Xia Corporation ns to expand into the Southwest''s market and will need everyone''s support�� Today, I am here to discuss potential partnerships, and while the Zhao Family is a good choice, that doesn''t mean otherpanies don''t have a chance..."


    That statement instantly made Zhao Tianlong a bit restless.


    What does this mean? Had he organized this banquet only for others to reap the benefits in the end?


    However, considering the Xia Family''s scale and status, which were clearly much stronger than the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianlong, despite his dissatisfaction, didn''t dare to show it.


    Standing together, Su Yixue, Su Honghai, and Su Minghao, upon hearing the conversation between Zhao Tianlong and Xia Hao, spoke in a disappointed tone, "Sigh! It seems the Su Family has no chance now. Today''s banquet was organized by the Zhao Family, after all. How could it be our turn?"


    "Right! Yixue, are you really sure about marrying that fool?"


    As everyone spoke, they couldn''t help but nce again at Ye Fan, who was standing beside Su Yixue.


    Ye Fan, standing by Su Yixue''s side, showed no expression, and no matter how one looked at him, he didn''t seem like someone with normal intelligence.


    Poor Ye Family!


    As Xia Hao spoke onstage, his gaze casually swept over the crowd below. When his eyes passed by Su Yixue andnded on Ye Fan, they suddenly lit up, "Divine Doctor?"


    With the microphone in hand, Xia Hao eximed, causing everyone present to be stunned.


    Xia Hao quickly added, "Excuse me, everyone, I have some important matters to attend to, but I will resume the discussion with you allter!"


    Having said that, Xia Hao passed the microphone to a shocked Zhao Tianlong and, with his assistant in tow, quickly made his way toward Su Yixue''s location.


    In the direction of Su Yixue, severalpany CEOs and representatives were full of anticipation, hoping that Xia Hao wasing to them.


    They even got ready to shake hands, but Xia Hao walked past them without a second nce, his eyes intently focused on Ye Fan as he approached swiftly.


    At that moment, the members of the Su Family also sensed something was amiss.


    "This�� Mr. Xia couldn''t possibly being for us, could he? Does anyone here know Mr. Xia well?" Su Minghao asked, looking around at everyone with some confusion.


    Everyone shook their heads, but the third oldest hesitated before saying, "I shook hands with Mr. Xia once at a business forum in Provincial City. Could he remember me?"


    Everyone rolled their eyes at him. With so many people at that kind of forum, how could Xia Hao possibly remember you?


    "Divine Doctor, I''ve finally found you! I have yet to thank you for saving my life all those years ago!" With bewilderment in their eyes, everyone watched as Xia Hao rushed to Ye Fan, bowed respectfully, and extended his hands.


    He wasing for Ye Fan?


    The Su Family members were stunned, and now everyone else was too!


    A fool, recognized by Xia Hao from Provincial City''s Xia Family?


    Only this morning Su Yixue announced her intention to marry Ye Fan, and by the afternoon, she reaped such benefits?


    If Ye Fan and Xia Hao were close, then naturally, the Xia Family would choose Su Corporation as their partner in Cloud City!

 Chapter 8: Chapter 8 This is a Golden Thigh!

    Zhao Tianlong, who had followed along, was instantly unsettled when he heard Xia Hao say that Ye Fan had saved him!


    "Mr. Xia, you must be mistaken, right? This is the Ye Family''s imbecile, how could he possibly have medical skills to save people?" Zhao Tianlong hurriedly spoke out to dissuade Xia Hao, "Let''s go! Mr. Xia, you must have also heard about the Ye Family''s situation, you''re definitely mistaken, and it''s best not to get involved with the Ye Family right now!"


    The core members of the Ye Family��all ten descendants��had fallen within a single day; this news had already spread throughout Great Xia and was no longer a secret.


    Xia Hao stared intently at Ye Fan, examining him from top to bottom, and shook his head with certainty, "I am not mistaken! Five years ago, when I was on the brink of death, it was the divine doctor who saved me... But how has the divine doctor be an imbecile after a few years?"


    Curious, Xia Hao turned his gaze to Su Yixue standing beside Ye Fan, and Su Yixue quickly spoke up, "Mr. Xia, my fianc�� had a car ident five years ago, which affected his intelligence. That''s why he has be like this now!"


    Su Yixue detailed Ye Fan''s situation to Xia Hao, who, after adding up the before and after, nodded, "Then there is no mistake. Young Master Ye was indeed a prodigious talent before, with martial arts and medical skills second to none. ording to the timeline, it was after treating me that he met with the car ident��there''s no way it''s wrong!"


    The Ye Family was almost wiped out, and the seven stunning sisters-inw married the Ye Family''s imbecile.


    This incident had already begun to captivate the entire Great Xia. While everyone felt sorry for the Ye Family, they also admired those seven stunning sisters-inw.


    Xia Hao had not expected that the very person who saved his life back then would be the youngest master of the Ye Family.


    "Miss Su, it seems your family is in the medical business? Are you interested in forming a partnership with my Xia Family?" Xia Hao''s piercing gaze settled on Su Yixue, and his words left everyone around them dumbstruck.


    What does this mean?


    Was Xia Hao nning on handing over immense wealth directly to them?


    "Ah? Mr. Xia, do you mean you want to form a partnership with our Su Family?" Su Yixue could hardly contain her excitement, "But, due to the Ye Family''s circumstances, we''ve already been boycotted by all the major partners. Those against the Ye Family will crush us to death. Partnering with us will implicate you as well!"


    Zhao Tianlong, who was standing to the side, began to panic, "Yes! Mr. Xia, those who are against the Ye Family are not ones we can afford to provoke. It would be better for you to choose to partner with our Zhao Family instead?"


    Zhao Tianlong was so anxious that he felt like grabbing Xia Hao and pulling him away.


    After all the effort he had put into organizing such a grand banquet, to ultimately end up benefitting the Su Family?


    Originally, he could have killed Ye Fan and smoothly taken Su Yixue into his arms. But if the Su Family were to partner with the Xia Family, they would inevitably grow into Cloud City''s leading family in a short time, making it virtually impossible for him to win over Su Yixue.


    "Hmph! What does it matter if I''m implicated? If Young Master Ye hadn''t saved Mr. Xia''s life back then, I would have been but a heap of yellow soil by now, and the Xia Family wouldn''t be where it is today," Xia Hao retorted before looking at Su Yixue, "Besides, if Miss Su and Yu Linglong, along with so many other brave women, haven''t abandoned the Ye Family, why should I fear anything?"


    "Miss Su, it''s settled then! The Su Family will be the Xia Family''s only partner in Cloud City. All of the Xia Family''s channels will be fully open to the Su Family! In the entire Southwestern Region, anyone who opposes the Su Family is opposing the Xia Family!" Xia Hao raised his voice, loudly announcing his decision.


    Such an unexpectedly joyous surprise left Su Yixue and Su Honghai, among others, somewhat stunned.


    "This... who would''ve thought that imbecile would bring such a huge surprise to the Su Family?" Su Minghao also began to see Ye Fan in a more favorable light.


    Envy filled the eyes of the surrounding guests.


    "The Ye Family is indeed still the Ye Family, despite their decline, their foundation remains!"


    "Yes! Ye Fan, as the prodigious talent of his time, still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve... Who would have thought Ye Fan had such amazing medical skills? Since he saved Xia Hao, he must have saved many other big shots too��that''s no small resource!"


    "It''s Su Yixue''s foresight that''s admirable, but now it remains to be seen how those who boycotted the Su Family will respond!"


    The Su Family turned the situation around in an instant, and everyone''s attitude towards the Ye Family changed.


    Though Ye Fan was an imbecile, the Ye Family might still have hope.


    What if one day Ye Fan suddenly recovered?


    Xia Hao announced his decision and, turning around, bowed respectfully to Ye Fan. "Divine Doctor, once again, thank you for saving my life back then! The Xia Family has limited capabilities, and this is all the help we can offer. Please forgive us, Divine Doctor!"


    Although the Xia Family is a superfamily of the Southwestern Region, Xia Hao knew that the people operating behind the scenes who acted against the Ye Family this time were at least those colossal figures from the Capital, entities the Xia Family dare not provoke.


    "You helped my wife, you are a good man! Hug!" Ye Fan stared at Xia Hao in front of him, finally remembering who he was.


    Five years ago, before Ye Fan was in a car ident, during a trip to the Provincial City, he identally encountered Xia Hao, who was being pursued and murdered. At that time, Xia Hao was poisoned and stabbed several times, barely clinging to life. Ye Fan saved him and took his life back, and also casually killed those assassins hunting Xia Hao.


    Having his life saved, the Xia Family soared to great heights over the next few years.


    Xia Hao hugged Ye Fan with a sense of regret and patted him on the back, "Ah, Divine Doctor, how did you end up like this? Don''t worry, you will definitely be able to recover!"


    No sooner had Xia Hao''s words fallen than a faint voice suddenly rang in his ear, "You did well, I will not shortchange you!"


    Huh?


    Upon hearing this familiar voice, Xia Hao''s body instantly stiffened, and he stood frozen in ce.


    Was that the Divine Doctor''s voice?


    "Divine Doctor, this..."


    Xia Hao and Ye Fan separated, and Xia Hao looked at Ye Fan with a shocked face.


    Ye Fan did not say anything, but simply nodded at Xia Hao with a subtle curve of his lips!


    Xia Hao was utterly shocked. The Divine Doctor wasn''t foolish? But why was he pretending to be foolish?


    Xia Hao was always an incredibly astute man, and thinking about the Ye Family''s plight, he understood instantly.


    Ye Fan was concealing his strength, deliberately hiding his edge, so that he could avoid being pursued by his enemies, wasn''t he?


    Indeed it was clever!


    One could imagine, if not because Ye Fan was acting the fool, with the Ye Family being utterly destroyed today, could Ye Fan have escaped?


    Xia Hao broke out in a cold sweat, remembering that night five years ago when he was chased by dozens of Martial Arts masters. Those assassins, so formidable in their skills, were effortlessly killed by a fifteen-year-old boy.


    Young Master Ye''s strength was already so terrifying back then, so what terrifying Realm has Young Master Ye''s strength reached now?


    With such capabilities, means, and strategies, and his heavenly-level medical expertise, this monstrous prodigy who understood the art of concealing his edge, it probably wouldn''t be long before the Ye Family would rise again, right?


    Those who targeted the Ye Family, those who distanced themselves from the Ye Family, are likely in for bad luck!


    And Ye Fan''s choice to reveal this information to him meant that Young Master Ye trusted him.


    Vaguely, Xia Hao felt like he hadtched onto a golden thigh.


    By choosing to support the Ye Family and the Su Family at this time, the Xia Family would surely be one of the superpower families dominating Great Xia in the future.


    Thinking of all this, Xia Hao struggled to conceal the excitement in his heart and bowed respectfully to Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, rest assured, I, Mr. Xia, will certainly spare no effort and shun no duty!"


    As for Ye Fan''s identity, since Young Master Ye wished to keep it under wraps, naturally, he had his reasons, and Xia Hao wouldn''t be so foolish as to reveal it!


    "What... what should I do? Mr. Xia, what about our cooperation we previously agreed upon?" Zhao Tianlong on the side was jumping with anxiety, feeling like a clown...

 Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Who is the Clown?

    "He''s bad, he''s a bad guy, he wants to steal my wife Yixue!"


    Hearing Zhao Tianlong speak, Ye Fan immediately hid behind Su Yixue, pulling on her sleeve and wailing.


    Xia Hao''s face immediately darkened. Just now, he was clearly aware that the Young Master of the Ye Family was not at all foolish. His strength was astonishing, his medical skills were extraordinary, and now that the Ye Family was facing a catastrophe, Ye Fan was deliberately concealing his own brilliance, pretending to be foolish, making many matters difficult to handle with direct action.


    So, since Young Master Ye had chosen to trust him, then the things Young Master Ye felt difficult to handle, he would take care of in his stead!


    p!


    Xia Hao suddenly raised his hand and pped Zhao Tianlong, "Are you teaching me how to do my business? When did we make such an agreement?"


    Hiss!


    The sudden act of Xia Hao striking Zhao Tianlong shocked everyone present.


    As a prominent CEO of Provincial City, Xia Hao was naturally known for hisposure and restraint. But now, he had personally struck Zhao Tianlong?


    And the Zhao Family, as an emerging power in Cloud City, was also not to be underestimated.


    From any perspective, there seemed to be no need for Xia Hao to act so?


    Was it all because of Ye Fan?


    "You... Mr. Xia, why did you hit me?" Zhao Tianlong waspletely dumbfounded, covering his swollen face, staring at Xia Hao with a puzzled look,pletely bewildered.


    "Why? Because you dared to covet Young Master Ye''s wife, I''m teaching you on behalf of your parents!" Xia Hao red coldly at Zhao Tianlong, "Get out!"


    "Ah! Okay!" Although Zhao Tianlong was usually arrogant, he didn''t dare to be presumptuous under Xia Hao''s imposing presence.


    After responding, Zhao Tianlong suddenly remembered that he was at the banquet that he himself had organized. Where could he possibly go?


    Xia Hao also realized this and, after ncing at Ye Fan and Su Yixue, he said, "Young Master Ye, Miss Su, you see, there''s no point in staying at the banquet any longer, right? How about we go somewhere else to talk about our cooperation?"


    Before Su Yixue could recover from her shock, prompted by Xia Hao''s reminder, she quickly replied, "Alright! Let''s go!"


    After calling out to the Su Family members, Su Yixue, together with the core members, Wang Fugui, Xia Hao, and others, left the banquet hall.


    Su Yixue had agreed to discuss business matters at thepany with Xia Hao, but she could not rest easy leaving Ye Fan behind, so she asked her father to apany Xia Hao to thepany first, while she drove Ye Fan home.


    ...


    In the banquet hall, watching the retreating figures of Su Yixue and Ye Fan, Zhao Tianlong''s face turned extremely gloomy.


    "Damn it! My own venue turned into a farce!" The thought of being yed by Ye Fan made Zhao Tianlong''s blood boil, "It''s all because of that idiot Ye Fan, ruining my good deeds. How''s the preparation going for the people you were told to get ready?"


    The bodyguards in suits around Zhao Tianlong promptly replied, "Everyone is ready, we can take action at any time!"


    Zhao Tianlong nodded darkly, "Let''s go! Today I''ll make sure he doesn''t make it home!"


    At his own banquet, not only had he ended up drinking mop bucket water, but the Xia Family partnership he''d diligently sought was snatched away halfway through by the Su Family.


    Today, Zhao Tianlong''s face could be said to have been lost beyond redemption.


    With Xia Hao''s departure, the banquet hall, which had housed hundreds of guests, quickly dwindled to nearly empty.


    Everyone hade for Xia Hao today, and since he had confirmed cooperation with the Su Family and humiliated the Zhao Family''s prestige, there was no point for them to stay any longer.


    ...


    Driving Ye Fan toward her residence, Su Yixue couldn''t help feeling a bit panicked about the intimate contact that night with Ye Fan.


    Though Su Yixue was an adult, she was still a maiden and felt quite shy about those matters.


    Su Yixue drove while casting nces at Ye Fan beside her.


    His face was firm and his features distinct, his eyes brimming with wisdom. It was as if an invisible force was trying to capture one''s soul.


    Ye Fan really was handsome!


    If Ye Fan could be conscious now, countless girls would certainly throw themselves at him.


    But Su Yixue didn''t regret anything in her heart; marrying Ye Fan had been her choice. Gratitude toward the Ye Family was one aspect, but on the other hand, Su Yixue wasn''t averse to Ye Fan.


    When Su Yixue was Ye Fan''s sister-inw previously, they had had quite a few interactions, and she had a very good impression of this handsome boy.


    "Yixue, my wife, what are you looking at? Do I look good?" Ye Fan suddenly spoke up, and also stretched out his hand to grasp Su Yixue''s wrist, startling her tremendously.


    The steering wheel jolted, causing the car to snake across the middle of the road, nearly crashing into the flowerbed beside them.


    "Ah, I..." Su Yixue didn''t know how to exin and could only feel her heart pounding chaotically. Instinctively, Su Yixue wanted to withdraw her hand, but seeing Ye Fan''s sincere eyes, she stopped herself.


    I''m his wife now!


    There will be more intimate contactter, far more than just hands... other ces too... Sigh! But she didn''t know if Ye Fan knew what to do. If she had to take the initiative at that time, she would die of embarrassment!


    Somewhere inside, Su Yixue found herself looking forward to what the night would bring.


    At that same moment, amid her shy reflections, another clear warm current flowed from her arm into her body. In that instant, Su Yixue felt her whole body fill with strength, as if her vision and thoughts had be much clearer.


    What... what''s going on?


    Earlier, before the banquet, when Su Yixue and Ye Fan had embraced, she had vaguely felt it. It seemed that whenever she had close contact with Ye Fan, she could feel a warm current giving her strength.


    At the time, Su Yixue didn''t think much of it, but now, with such a distinct sensation, she couldn''t help but take it seriously.


    Could this be the secret of Ye Fan''s extraordinary talent?


    Being intimate with him endowed her with strength!


    So Xuan Yufei gave up on Ye Fan, did she not forsake a moving treasury?


    "Xiao Fan, you''re very good-looking! Our son will definitely be good-looking too," Su Yixue countered, grasping Ye Fan''s wrist gently and looking at him with tenderness.


    Ye Fan watched his sister-inw before him, feeling a chord struck in his heart.


    It turned out that besides Princess Yu, other girls could also be this tender. He could not let down such a devoted sister-inw.


    "Having a son is great! I want to sleep with my wife and have a son!" Ye Fan dered, instantly causing Su Yixue to blush furiously once again.


    As Ye Fan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly darted toward the rearview mirror.


    In fact, since leaving the banquet hall, Ye Fan had been aware of several cars following them. They had been trailing all the way, trying several times to stop Su Yixue''s car but hadn''t found the opportunity to do so.


    Ye Fan had a good idea of who had sent those cars.


    Having embarrassed Zhao Tianlong so much at the banquet today and with a major coborator like Xia Hao choosing to work with the Su Family, Zhao Tianlong surely would not let him off the hook.


    "Yixue, my wife, I need to pee. Can we stop the car?" Ye Fan asked Su Yixue as the vehicle turned into an alley.


    "But there aren''t any toilets around here," Su Yixue pressed the brakes, looking left and right, but failing to spot a restroom.


    "Grandpa said that for boys to use the bathroom, just behind a grove is fine!" Ye Fan pointed at a grove next to the road, "Hurry, I can''t hold it anymore, I need to go number two as well, my wife. Wait for me a bit longer, okay?"


    After Su Yixue parked the car, Ye Fan rushed and quickly made his way into a nearby abandoned park.


    The vehicles following Su Yixue were led by Zhao Tianlong. Seeing Ye Fan get out of the car on his own, a dark smirk appeared on Zhao Tianlong''s face, "Hmph! What an idiot. To get out in such a deste ce, he''s asking for trouble! Quick, everyone, follow him and finish him off in the woods. Silent as the grave!"

 Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Ye Fan Lets Me Slaughter You Guys!

    Ye Fan, who had entered the park, quickly kneaded his face a few times!


    Under the dim streetmps, Ye Fan''s appearance had changed in the blink of an eye. Now, even his own mother would not recognize him.


    After all was done, Ye Fan quietly stayed behind an abandoned flower bed, waiting for Zhao Tianlong and his men.


    In less than a minute, Zhao Tianlong, leading over a dozen bodyguards with shlights, rushed in, scanned left and right, and spotted Ye Fan standing behind the flower bed.


    But at this point, Ye Fan no longer looked the same, and Zhao Tianlong, even standing right in front of him, did not recognize him.


    "Did you see a young mane in from outside just now?" Zhao Tianlong sized up Ye Fan, sensing something familiar about the clothes Ye Fan wore.


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Oh! I just saw him, a youngd, hurriedly headed that way, behind that rockery!" Ye Fan casually pointed towards the flower bed.


    "Move out! Let''s encircle from both sides. Today, we must not let Ye Fan leave this ce alive. And when we go out, by the way, take Su Yixue with us. I need to vent my anger today!"


    Zhao Tianlong signaled his subordinates and quickly charged toward the rockery without noticing Ye Fan''s expression had turned extremely grim.


    Ye Fan had clearly seen the man with the scar on his face who had hit him with a car five years ago was right beside Zhao Tianlong.


    Five years ago, since they dared to create a car ident to murder him, and today, they again wanted to harm him and desecrate Su Yixue!


    Then... they should not me me for not being polite!


    A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Ye Fan''s eyes as he followed in the direction Zhao Tianlong and his men had gone.


    Zhao Tianlong and his men searched the overgrown weeds behind the rockery for a long time but did not find Ye Fan, "Damn it! Was that guy deceiving us?"


    Heat rose in Zhao Tianlong''s heart, "Damn it! In such a small area, where could that bastard Ye Fan have run off to? It''s like he vanished!"


    Zhao Tianlong finished speaking and as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw thed who had given him directions earlier��naturally, it was Ye Fan.


    "Shit! Are you looking to die... Damnit, didn''t you say that guy came this way? Where did he go?" Zhao Tianlong grabbed Ye Fan by the neck and scolded coldly, "If you lied to me, today I''ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs."


    Ye Fan''s facial muscles twitched twice, and he stared coldly at Zhao Tianlong, "That person dide! However, when he came over, he said something to me!"


    Ye Fan''s words made Zhao Tianlong and his men somewhat baffled.


    What could Ye Fan, an idiot, possibly say to anyone?


    "What did he say to you?" Zhao Tianlong released Ye Fan and stared intently at him.


    Ye Fan spoke indifferently, "He said there were bad people chasing him, and he wanted me to ughter you all!"


    That sentence instantly made everyone present tense up, "You... what do you mean?"


    After sensing the raging murderous intent emanating from Ye Fan, Zhao Tianlong realized something was amiss and signaled everyone to run.


    But it was already toote!


    Ye Fan''s silhouette, like a specter, charged into the crowd!


    Thump thump thump!


    In the crowd, a series of muffled sounds erupted from fists colliding with bodies. In just a few seconds, dozens of people at the scene, except for Zhao Tianlong and the man with the scar, had all fallen, motionless!


    The other bodyguards, who had followed Zhao Tianlong, though not good people themselves, had not directly participated in the assassination attempt on Ye Fan. So Ye Fan merely disabled their foundations, causing them to faint, and they might have to spend thetter half of their lives in bed, but he still spared their lives.


    However, for Zhao Tianlong and the man with the scar, from the moment they entered the woods, Ye Fan had already dered their death sentence!


    "It means I''m going to kill you!" Ye Fan spoke emotionlessly, kneaded his face twice, "They''re all quiet now. It''s much easier for us to talk!"


    When Ye Fan reverted to his true appearance, Zhao Tianlong and the scar-faced man were utterly stunned!


    "Ah... you... you are Ye Fan? You... you''re not idiotic? You were feigning it? Holy shit..." Zhao Tianlong nced at the bodyguards lying on the ground, his pupils dting in shock as his eyeballs nearly popped out.


    Now, looking back at the banquet, why did Ye Fan make him drink the toilet-cleansing water?


    Everything made sense now!


    Before the car ident five years ago, Ye Fan was already a demonic genius at the grandmaster level. So, to what realm had Ye Fan''s strength reached during the five years he had pretended to be a fool?


    Zhao Tianlong was dazed and frightened, his legs shaking uncontrobly; his heart sank into an abyss.


    Since Ye Fan had been pretending to be a fool, he must surely remember everything about the incident five years ago.


    "I''ll give you a chance. Speak! Why did you orchestrate a car ident to kill me five years ago?" Ye Fan patted his hands, leaning casually against the railing, his eyes intently on Zhao Tianlong.


    Ye Fan was terrifying, and Zhao Tianlong knew it; he didn''t even have the courage to flee.


    Thump!


    The scar-faced man beside him, terrified, directly knelt before Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, spare my life, I was wrong! At that time, it was all Young Master Zhao who ordered me, I was wrong, please spare my life!"


    Ye Fan didn''t even nce at the scar-faced man. A powerful Qi Force surged from his hand, instantly sting the man into dust that dissipated with the wind, then settling into the flowing stream in the park, disappearing without a trace.


    This was also one of the functions of the Inheritance within Ye Fan''s body.


    When Ye Fan activated his Martial Arts Qi along with the Inheritance, his Martial Arts Qi seemed to possess fire properties, capable of turning targets into dust, leaving no trace whatsoever.


    However, such a bizarre scene left Zhao Tianlong dumbfounded, on the brink of copse, "Ah... Young Master Ye, I was wrong! It really wasn''t me who wanted to kill you, it was... It was the big shot from the Provincial City who assigned people from the Liu Family to force me... Young Master Ye, can you spare my dog life? From now on, I will obediently follow your orders..."


    Zhao Tianlong also couldn''t help but kneel down, constantly kowtowing to Ye Fan.


    In Zhao Tianlong''s eyes, Ye Fan was just too terrifying.


    A car ident five years ago, and Ye Fan had been pretending to be a fool for five years?


    Zhao Tianlong also vaguely knew that the trouble with the Ye Family this time must have been instigated by a bigwig from the Capital, who decimated the Ye Family, yet somehow missed this fool, Ye Fan.


    But what they didn''t know was that Ye Fan, this "fool," was indeed the most terrifying existence in the Ye Family.


    If he returned alive, he would have to convey this news at the first opportunity.


    If Ye Fan was left alive, no one would have good days ahead.


    "Who is the bigwig from the Capital?" Ye Fan''s facial muscles twitched. He knew of the Liu Family from Provincial City; Elder Master Liu was once the most loyal subordinate of his grandfather. Ye Fan had not expected that the Liu Family would turn out to be one of his assassins.


    When the situation in Cloud City had settled somewhat, he would have to settle ounts with the Liu Family!


    "Young Master Ye, I really don''t know anything about the Capital, I only know about Cloud City. Our Zhao Family, the Wang Family, and another Li Family, we all serve the bigwig from the Capital. We usually follow orders from the Liu Family of Provincial City! Young Master Ye, can you not kill me? I promise not to say a word out!"


    At that moment, Zhao Tianlong was in extreme distress, lying on the ground like a dog, wagging his tail non-stop.


    "If only you knew the consequences, why did you do it in the first ce?" Ye Fan felt no mercy, his Qi instantly crushing Zhao Tianlong into dust, which also fell into the river.


    Only dead men tell no tales!


    Just as he finished, Su Yixue''s voice suddenly came from outside the woods, "Xiao Fan, are you okay? Why have you been gone for so long?"


    Her voice trembling, it seemed she was using the light from her phone to search her way inside...

 Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Cut the Grass, Remove the Roots!

    Ye Fan felt warmth in his heart, knowing full well that this sister-inw was terrified of mice!


    For her toe over in such pitch-ck night, she must have summoned a great deal of courage.


    Su Yixue truly cared about him!


    How rare!


    Ye Fan withdrew his previously fierce demeanor and returned to his silly, dazed expression, "Yixue honey, I''m all right, I''vee out!"


    Ye Fan responded briefly and quickly shed towards the outside of the woods.


    As he neared Su Yixue, Ye Fan suddenly yelled out, "Wow! Such a huge mouse!"


    "Ah? Where?" Su Yixue was immediately frightened into jumping up, instinctively wrapping her arms around Ye Fan''s neck and hopped into his embrace.


    Ye Fan took the opportunity to pull Su Yixue into his arms, his wrists feeling the softness of her body along with her fragrance.


    "It ran away just now�� Yixue honey, you smell so good!" Ye Fan sniffed the nape of Su Yixue''s neck a couple of times, causing her face to turn bashfully red.


    "You�� You''re terrible, you scared me on purpose, didn''t you?" Su Yixue pouted and began to yfully punch Ye Fan in the chest.


    In that moment, Su Yixue started to wonder, was Ye Fan truly simple-minded? Or was he ying dumb?


    At this time, Ye Fan was just smiling foolishly, holding Su Yixue and walking towards a car parked by the road!


    On the street, there were still a few drivers inside Zhao Tianlong''s vehicles.


    They were waiting for Zhao Tianlong and his men to return triumphantly, but after a while, they saw Ye Fan carrying Su Yixue out, confusion surfacing in their hearts, "Where are Young Master Zhao and his people? Weren''t they supposed to be pursuing Ye Fan? Howe Ye Fan is out but they haven''t returned yet?" "Could something have happened? Let''s go in and have a look!"


    After Su Yixue drove away with Ye Fan, the drivers Zhao Tianlong had left behind quickly started searching inside the deserted park.


    After searching for ten minutes, they finally found the unconscious bodyguards behind an artificial hill.


    "Quick�� call an ambnce�� notify the family head��"


    In just a short while, the deserted park became bustling with activity.


    Zhao Dechang personally came over with his men. All the bodyguards were sent for emergency treatment at the hospital, but what worried Zhao Family''s head, Zhao Dechang, was that all the men Zhao Tianlong took with him today were ounted for except for Zhao Tianlong and the man with the scar on his face.


    "How can two big living people just vanish into thin air? Keep looking for me!" Zhao Dechang shouted angrily at the Zhao Family bodyguards.


    Zhao Dechang had only one son, and if anything were to happen to him, it would mean the end of his lineage.


    "Family head, with over a hundred of us, we have searched this ce eight times, every corner, even the river, but there''s no trace of the young master!" one of Zhao Dechang''s subordinates replied frustratingly, "What if... we call the police?"


    "Idiots!"


    Zhao Dechang, infuriated, kicked his subordinate in the rear, "Have you got water on the brain? How are you going to call the police? Are you going to say they came to kill Ye Fan and now they''re missing?"


    Realizing the sense in that, the Bodyguard Captain didn''t dare to say any more.


    "What about those bodyguards who regained consciousness? What did they say?" Zhao Dechang coldly directed at another subordinate.


    "News hase from the hospital. There isn''t much difference in all of their answers! After they followed Ye Fan into the park, they encountered a stranger, and then that stranger knocked them all unconscious, they''re not clear on what happened after that!"


    Upon hearing his subordinate''s report, Zhao Dechang''s eyes involuntarily closed.


    So, there was an unknown martial arts expert involved?


    Someone had beaten so many bodyguards yet specifically took the scarred man and his son. It seemed his son''s chances for survival were slim.


    Just what kind of opponent was looking for him?


    Had someone from the Ye Family made their move?


    "Go back! Seal off all news of what happened here today! Dispatch all members of the Zhao Family to conduct a thorough search for the young master''s information throughout Cloud City. Any clues must be reported to me immediately!"


    Zhao Dechang issued the order to his subordinates with a grim face, still unwilling to give up any hope!


    Ye Fan!


    That bastard again. Not having killed him five years ago, had he now ultimately brought trouble upon the Zhao Family?


    Hmph!


    After all, there were those above who intended to silence him, and since you''ve luckily escaped this time, next time, I, Laotzu, will take matters into my own hands and see if you''ll still have any chance to flee!


    ...


    After sending Ye Fan back to his ce, Su Yixue hurried towards thepany.


    The Xia Family''s partnership with the Su Corporation was a tremendous opportunity for them, and during the contract signing, not a single mishap could ur.


    Once Su Yixue left, Ye Fan scouted around the vi.


    Although Ye Fan was alone in the vi, he discovered several hidden figures lurking around. Among them, a few were bodyguards arranged by Su Yixue, responsible for protecting Ye Fan''s safety.


    There were a few others Ye Fan was quite familiar with, they were bodyguards from the Ye Family, likely sent by his grandfather.


    At such a critical time for the Ye Family, although the opponents thought that Ye Fan was just a fool and hadn''t attacked him, no one could guarantee that the opponents wouldn''t suddenly go mad.


    However, these ordinary bodyguards were utterly incapable of keeping an eye on Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan turned up the television volume in the living room and then his figure swiftly dashed towards the vi''s back door, slipping out without making a sound.


    Since he had made a move against Zhao Tianlong, Ye Fan would not give the Zhao Family any time to catch their breath.


    Taking advantage of Su Yixue''s absence, Ye Fan was going to pay a visit to the Zhao Family and annihte thempletely!


    ...


    Cloud City, Zhao Family Courtyard!


    Zhao Dechang returned home somewhat irritable. The family''s big yellow dog, as usual, approached and wagged its tail at Zhao Dechang.


    "Scram!" Zhao Dechang kicked the big yellow dog in a fury, sending it flying. The dog ran away in pain, also depressed, wondering what it had done wrong.


    Thinking about his son''s predicament, Zhao Dechang walked irritably towards his study, "No one disturb me!"


    Zhao Dechang pushed open the door to his study, turned on the light, and upon seeing the scene before him, his pupils dted in shock, "You�� Ye Fan? How are you here?"


    In the room, Ye Fan sat imposingly on a Taishi chair, staring coldly at Zhao Dechang. Those snake-like eyes made Zhao Dechang''s skin crawl.


    "Five years ago, the Zhao Family didn''t kill me, and now you must regret it, right?" Ye Fan''s mouth twitched slightly as he stood up, eyes zing at Zhao Dechang.


    Zhao Dechang waspletely bbergasted, "You�� Weren''t you rendered a simpleton? You weren''t really a fool? You were pretending? You��"


    Zhao Dechang instinctively tried to open the door to call for his bodyguards, but as soon as he reached out, Ye Fan moved!


    Whoosh!


    A pencil shot out, pinning Zhao Dechang''s hand firmly against the door.


    "Aah��" Just as Zhao Dechang began to scream, a rag was stuffed into his mouth, blocking his cry and muffling the sound of his agony.


    "Answer my questions honestly, and I might make your suffering a little less painful!" Ye Fan approached Zhao Dechang, speaking coldly. The murderous aura emanating from him made the hairs on Zhao Dechang''s body stand on end��

 Chapter 12: Chapter 12 The Extinction of the Zhao Family

    ```


    Zhao Dechang knew he had no choice but to nod in forced agreement.


    Ye Fan removed the gag from Zhao Dechang''s mouth, and Zhao Dechang, enduring the severe pain in his arm, asked despairingly, "Tianlong must have died at your hands, right?"


    Even though he had guessed the answer, Zhao Dechang still wanted confirmation.


    "What do you think? Five years ago, you tried to run me over with a car. Today, you still wanted to kill me. Should I keep someone like that around for the holidays?" Ye Fan responded coldly. He was never merciful to those who sought his life.


    To be merciful to enemies is to be cruel to oneself.


    Zhao Dechang closed his eyes in pain; indeed!


    What a pity! After Ye Fan became a fool five years ago, they should not have gone soft; they should have finished him off. Now, the Zhao Family had met its end at Ye Fan''s hands.


    "Ask away!" Knowing his death was inevitable, Zhao Dechang felt a sense of resignation.


    Since his death was certain, let Ye Fan battle it out with those behind him. It would surely be a spectacr fight.


    "In Cloud City, other than the Wang and Li Families, who else is a vassal to the Liu Family from the Provincial City?" The question from Ye Fan instantly stupefied Zhao Dechang. Had Ye Fan already investigated the forces behind him so thoroughly?


    Whoever called Ye Fan a fool, was the biggest fool himself!


    Ye Fan had feigned foolishness for five years, concealing his prowess!


    If still, he was silent; once he made his move, it was the nightmare of his enemies.


    "The vassal families of the Liu Family in Cloud City are indeed just the Wang and Li Families! But besides them, the Liu Family has other masters in Cloud City, always monitoring the Ye Family''s movements. However, I also don''t know where those people usually hide," said Zhao Dechang, pausing before he continued, "I regret not killing you five years ago, but I must tell you, you can''t defeat them..."


    Ye Fan ignored Zhao Dechang, continuing to inquire, "Who is the big shot family behind the Liu Family from the Provincial City, in the Capital? How much do you know?"


    Zhao Dechang shook his head, "We have very limited information about the heavy hitters from the Capital! The only time I met a representative from the Capital, he was wearing a mask, but everyone calls him Young Master Zhou... I don''t know exactly who he is... But their power is terrifying, they could even easily decide the Governor of Cloud City''s appointment..."


    "But I know that in addition to the Ye Family being too powerful, they seem to be searching for something!"


    Ye Fan continued to question Zhao Dechang but didn''t extract much of value.


    With a flow of Qi Force through his body, Zhao Dechang turned into a cloud of dust under the impact, drifting out the window and scattering in the wind.


    The next moment, Ye Fan transformed into a spectral figure and disappeared from the Zhao Family Courtyard.


    It seems that to understand the true extent of the power behind the Liu Family from the Provincial City, he would need to investigate at the Liu Family''s doorstep in the Provincial City.


    After Ye Fan left, several major incidents urred in Cloud City in a short period of time!


    Zhao Dechang''s brother and his family, while driving home, were involved in a tragic ident that sent their car plunging into the Yunsha River, their fate unknown!


    Another core member of the Zhao Family fell to his death from the eighteenth floor after attending a meeting.


    Shortly thereafter, news of the disappearance of Zhao Dechang and his son started to spread wildly throughout Cloud City.


    ��


    In the Ye Family Courtyard in Cloud City!


    Ye Changfeng, listening to the news reported by Guard Captain Leng Feng, frowned deeply, "Has the Zhao Family been virtually annihted overnight?"


    ```


    Zhao Dechang, his brother, and other core members had all suddenly disappeared and died; this was clearly not a normal urrence.


    "Yes!" Leng Feng answered and continued, "ording to our intelligence, Zhao Tianlong intended to ambush Young Master Ye at the banquet but ended up shooting himself in the foot, being yed instead... Moreover, our intelligence has also uncovered that five years ago, when Young Master Ye had a car ident, the Zhao Family''s shadow was behind it, but now the clues have been severed..."


    Ye Changfeng also roughly knew about the car ident Ye Fan had five years ago.


    Although ording to the ident assessment at that time, the driver who hit the person did so because he had been drinking, leading to the ident, and he was sent to jail, Ye Changfeng naturally did not believe it was all just a coincidence.


    But every time the Ye Family exerted its power to investigate, they would face interference from a mysterious force, forcing them to halt at critical junctures.


    And now, suddenly, there was a clue��the Zhao Family had beenpletely wiped out.


    Could this be another coincidence?


    "To clean up the Zhao Family so thoroughly in such a short time, one must be at least in the Grandmaster Realm! Since when did such a Grandmaster appear in Cloud City?" Ye Changfeng murmured to himself as he looked at the information Leng Feng handed to him.


    "What about that kid Ye Fan? Where is he now?" Ye Changfeng suddenly thought of Ye Fan. Five years ago, Ye Fan was already a Grandmaster.


    Could it be that Ye Fan hase to his senses and acted against the Zhao Family?


    "Young Master Ye has been brought home by Miss Su; he''s staying at home with our people guarding and protecting the area around! The young master has never left Miss Su''s residence!" Leng Feng confidently responded.


    The guards around Su Yixue were Leng Feng''s trusted subordinates, all of whom were in the Martial Arts Control Realm.


    "Oh!" Ye Changfeng let out a long sigh, somewhat disappointed, "Pay more attention to Su Corporation! Those bastards who made a move against the Ye Family, their next step will definitely be to suppress Su Corporation and hit the Su Family hard!"


    The Su Family girl protected the Ye Family so much, naturally, they couldn''t let the Su Family feel disheartened.


    Although the Ye Family had suffered heavy losses, as long as this old man was still alive with the support of a million-strong Tianlong Army behind him, he still had the ability to protect the Su Family.


    "Yes! Additionally, there''s another situation. The head of the Xia Family in Provincial City, Xia Hao, recognized the young master today, saying the young master was the one who saved his life five years ago. Therefore, he went against the majority to choose a cooperation with Su Corporation, which should help alleviate some pressure for Su Corporation!"


    "Oh? Xiao Fan''s medical skills were so good five years ago that he could save someone''s life? Howe I didn''t know about it?" Ye Changfeng was surprised to find that despite how much Ye Fan had grown, he really knew nothing about his grandson. "That''s good news!"


    Meanwhile, in the Su Corporation''s office, Su Yixue, having just signed a contract with Xia Hao, was spacing out in front of a mirror!


    Even though she had made up her mind to marry Ye Fan, to bear children for the Ye Family, the reality of the situation was making Su Yixue nervous... The thought of being bare before Ye Fan made her face turn crimson with shyness!


    In the mirror, Su Yixue''s figure was stunning with perfect curves, absolutely alluring.


    How many sons of Cloud City had their eyes on her, yet tonight, she would belong to Ye Fan!


    ...


    In Cloud City Royal KTV, Xu Dong and a group of rich young men from Cloud City were singing and dancing, indulging in their desires.


    When a song ended, a wealthy young man expressed his doubt, "It''s almost midnight, howe Young Master Zhao hasn''t arrived?"


    They had agreed that after Zhao Tianlong dealt with Ye Fan, they woulde here to celebrate.


    Yet, they had been waiting for over two hours, and there was still no word from Zhao Tianlong.


    Xu Dong also frowned, "I''ll give Young Master Zhao a call to check!" But after trying several times, Zhao Tianlong''s phone was unreachable.


    Having no choice, Xu Dong called another acquaintance from the Zhao Family and the information he received turned his face ashen, "Young Master Xu, I''m afraid Young Master Zhao won''t be able to make it! Zhao Dechang and Zhao Tianlong have both disappeared, and all core disciples of the Zhao Family have perished within thest hour... The Zhao Family has been destroyed..."

 Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Not like that when you sleep!

    "Ah?"


    Xu Dong couldn''t help eximing in shock!


    Just a few hours ago, he was still talking andughing with Zhao Tianlong, and now, in such a short time, Zhao Tianlong had disappeared?


    Others might not know where Zhao Tianlong had gone, but Xu Dong was very clear that Zhao Tianlong had gone to kill Ye Fan.


    To disappear during the process of killing Ye Fan, and then afterwards Zhao Dechang also disappeared?


    How could there be such a coincidence?


    The only possibility was that something unexpected happened while killing Ye Fan, which then involved the entire Zhao Family.


    Could it be that fool Ye Fan has awakened from his slumber?


    At this thought, and considering all he and his father had done over the years, Xu Dong felt a chill run down his spine.


    Xu Dong and his father Xu Jian, as the adopted son and grandson of Ye Changfeng, were protected by the Ye Family. But during the years they managed the Ye Family, all they did was plot how to take the Ye Family''s assets for themselves.


    If Ye Fan woke up, he surely wouldn''t let him off!


    "Have you found out who did it?" Xu Dong tentatively asked.


    An acquaintance from the Zhao Family let out a long sigh and responded, "We don''t have any clues, but ording to a letter left in the family head''s study, it seems that Zhao Dechang had stolen a Grandmaster-level expert''s woman years ago, and now that person hase back for revenge! That person is called Fan Ye!"


    Fan Ye?


    Upon hearing that it wasn''t Ye Fan, Xu Dong breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes lit up with excitement.


    Another Grandmaster-level expert appeared in Cloud City?


    If I offer a high enough price, and he can take out Ye Fan and that old thing at home, won''t I be free of future worries?


    With this in mind, Xu Dong went from initial worry to delight.


    The extermination of the Zhao Family was a huge shock to Xu Dong, but it was also an opportunity!


    "Young Master Xu, what''s the situation with Young Master Zhao?" After Xu Dong hung up the phone, all the rich young masters stopped their entertainment and looked eagerly at Xu Dong.


    "The Zhao Family has been wiped out. It''s said that Zhao Dechang offended a Grandmaster Realm expert!" Xu Dong snorted coldly, "Hmph! Ye Fan is so lucky to be alive at a critical moment, but next time, who knows if you''ll be so lucky!"


    ...


    After Ye Fan dealt with the Zhao Family''s matter, he returned home and had just finished freshening up when Su Yixue also arrived home.


    Seeing Ye Fan safe and sound, Su Yixue finally let out a breath of relief.


    On her way home, Su Yixue had already heard about the Zhao Family''s incident.


    "Xiao Fan, do you know? That Zhao Tianlong who bullied you has been taken care of by the bad guys, and he won''t bully you anymore!" Su Yixue was actually still somewhat suspicious. Zhao Tianlong had only bullied Ye Fan at a banquet, expressing his intent to take Ye Fan''s wife, and within a mere hour, the entire Zhao Family had been exterminated?


    Could it be such a coincidence?


    Su Yixue suspected that Ye Fan had done something behind the scenes, but after inquiring with the bodyguard she had arranged at the front door, Su Yixue learned that Ye Fan hadn''t left the vi the whole time she had been away, so it couldn''t have been Ye Fan who had acted.


    If it wasn''t Ye Fan, then who was this mysterious Grandmaster Fan Ye?


    And why had the actions been so timely?


    "That''s great! Finally, no one will fight me for my wife, that''s great!" Ye Fan said excitedly as he reached out to hug Su Yixue''s neck and excitedly leaned his head in.


    Although Su Yixue was prepared, when the moment actually arrived and she felt the strong masculine scent emanating from Ye Fan, she became a bit nervous, "Hold on, I''m going to take a shower... you... go wait for me in the bedroom..."


    With that, Su Yixue walked towards the restroom with a flushed face.


    Ye Fan stood in the living room, watching Su Yixue''s departing figure, a smile ying at the corners of his mouth.


    This little sister-inw, had she really prepared herself to be his woman?


    Faced with such unparalleled beauty, should he take her or not?


    ...


    Five minutester, when Su Yixue entered the bedroom wearing a pink, sexy nightgown, Ye Fan was already lying obediently on the bed!


    "Yixue wife, am I being good?" Ye Fan looked at Su Yixue with an earnest face.


    Su Yixue, seeing Ye Fan''s innocent appearance, couldn''t help but have her maternal instincts overflow, "Xiao Fan is the best..."


    Poor Ye Fan, once a pride of the heavens, now... Maybe with her sisters united, could they possibly awaken Ye Fan?


    With that thought, Su Yixue overcame her shyness and gentlyy down on the bed, then embraced Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan,e!"


    Ye Fan looked at Su Yixue, who was nervous and shy, and found it somewhat amusing, but he deliberately asked, "Yixue wife,e for what?"


    Ye Fan raised his head, staring intently at Su Yixue.


    Seeing this made Su Yixue feel shy and a bit embarrassed, but she instantly realized that Ye Fan, with the mind of a child now, probably did not understand intimate matters between men and women, right?


    "Ah! We''re going to sleep together, and then I''ll give birth to a chubby baby for you..." Su Yixue guided Ye Fan.


    But Ye Fan simply looked at her with innocent eyes and said, "Aren''t we already sleeping now?"


    "Not like that... you..." Su Yixue was both embarrassed and annoyed; she truly wondered if Ye Fan was purposely shaming her.


    "Then how should we be sleeping?"

 Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Xuan Yufei Comes to Apologize? Too Late!

    "It should be like this... go slower... first, take off your clothes... oh my..."


    "Mmm!"


    "Yeah!"


    ...


    Under Su Yixue''s step-by-step guidance, sounds not suitable for children gradually began to fill the room.


    As Yin and Yang united and Heaven and Earth merged, a tear slid down the corner of Su Yixue''s eye. Silently, she thought, "Ancestors of the Ye Family, I, Su Yixue, have not failed you; I have still be a daughter-inw of the Ye Family."


    Although it wasn''t Qi Lang as before, it was still Ye Fan of the Ye Family''s legitimate line.


    With the movements of the two of them, a powerful warm current rewarded Ye Fan and Su Yixue.


    The Martial Arts Qi in Ye Fan fluttered like a flickering me, rapidly advancing his strength which in a short time had already reached the peak of Martial Venerable, almost breaking through to the next realm.


    The warm current nourished Su Yixue, and within her body, power was also gradually gathering, faintly on the verge of producing Martial Arts Qi.


    Under Ye Fan''s gentle but rough movements, Su Yixue felt like a t boat on the ocean, drifting with the waves, sometimes surging to the top of a wave, sometimes sinking to the ocean floor... for what seemed like hours...


    Outside the window, even the moonlight seemed somewhat shy about what was happening in the room, quietly hiding itself behind the clouds.


    Outside the vi, the bodyguards of the Ye Family as well as those of the Su Family listened to the noisesing from inside the vi.


    They couldn''t help but remark, "Although the young master has be foolish, his vigor hasn''t decreased from back in the day, huh!"


    "Ha ha! Miss Su is going to be lucky in the future!"


    "Ah! If only the young master coulde to his senses soon, then Miss Su and the young master would truly be a perfect match!"


    ...


    After everything had settled down, Su Yixue had already fallen into a deep sleep in Ye Fan''s arms, while Ye Fan himself was feeling refreshed and spirited, looking at the delicate Su Yixue in his arms. A string in Ye Fan''s heart twitched.


    From this moment on, Su Yixue was his woman!


    In the future, no one except himself would be allowed to hurt her, not even a little...


    The reason Ye Fan had made the decision to take Su Yixue as his woman was due to many considerations!


    For one thing, the seven stunning sisters-inw had announced in front of so many people that they wanted to marry him; rejecting them heartlessly would be foolish and would let down the good intentions of these sisters-inw.


    On the other hand, Ye Fan''s pace of strength advancement was currently too slow. By joining with Su Yixue, he would gain sufficient warm currents in a short time to enhance his own strength.


    The situation of the Ye Family was very dangerous, nearly exterminated, with only him as the sole survivor.


    If Ye Fan''s strength wasn''t strong enough, he would not be able to revive the Ye Family, nor could he protect the Ye Family, guard these beautiful sisters-inw, or seek revenge for the deceased Heroic Spirits of the Ye Family.


    Therefore, Ye Fan needed to be stronger as quickly as possible!


    And the flickering me in his dantian was the best and fastest way!


    After making sure Su Yixue wasfortable on the bed, Ye Fan began to sit cross-legged on the bed, rapidly circting the Martial Arts Qi within his body. Meanwhile, his eyes flickered with profound depth...


    Young Master Zhou of the Capital!


    Hum! Polish your neck, daring to move against my Ye Family, none of the enemies will escape!


    ...


    In the Provincial City, the Flower Capital, the Liu Family''s mansion was brightly lit!


    Liu Ran, the head of the Liu Family, sat at the head of the table, his face dark with anger, "Has Xia Hao lost his mind? The Ye Family is already being targeted and could be exterminated at any moment, everyone is sanctioning the Ye Family, and yet Xia Hao chooses to side with the Ye Family, coborating with the Su Corporation? Is he seeking death?"


    So many things had happened today: the Ye Family''s downfall, Xuan Yufei''s annulment of her engagement. But Ye Fan''s seven sisters-inw had dered they were all marrying Ye Fan, which was the biggest provocation to the enemies of the Ye Family.


    They swiftly gave orders to sanction the Su Corporation, to make an example of them, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.


    However, the Xia Family chose to cooperate with the Su Corporation at this time and even dered that anyone who opposed the Su Corporation was opposing the Xia Family.


    The implication of this alliance was very clear!


    "ording to what Xia Hao said, it''s because five years ago, when Ye Fan was still a genius, he saved his life, so Xia Hao wants to repay the favor!" a subordinate exined.


    Liu Ran snorted coldly, "I don''t care what his reasons are! Since he has chosen to help the Su Corporation, that means he is against my Liu Family, and against the powerful backer behind us!"


    He paused for a moment before continuing, "Issue my order,mand the Cloud City Zhao Family to move against the Su Corporation at any cost!"


    "Yes..." the subordinate responded, just about to make arrangements when he suddenly turned somber, "Patriarch! Thetest news just received, the Zhao Family... the Zhao Family has been exterminated!"


    "What?" Liu Ran stood up from his seat in shock upon hearing the news from his subordinate, "Wasn''t the head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Dechang, still talking to me this morning? How could they be wiped out all of a sudden?"


    The subordinate hastily handed over detailed information to Liu Ran, "Zhao Dechang offended a grandmaster named Fan Ye, who, it is said, stole Fan Ye''s woman when he was young, hence the retaliation?"


    "Such a coincidence?" Liu Ran vaguely sensed something was amiss; the timing of the Zhao Family''s annihtion was too coincidental. Had Zhao Tianlong just humiliated Ye Fan, just when he was about to kill Ye Fan, when they were suddenly wiped out?


    If it weren''t for solid evidence proving Ye Fan wasn''t present, Liu Ran would surely think that the monstrous prodigy who awoke five years ago had returned.


    "Patriarch, what should we do now? If the Su Corporation fully cooperates with the Xia Family, leveraging the Xia Family''s channels, they will undoubtedly soar immediately. All our previous blockades will be ineffective!"


    The scale of the Xia Family was much like the Liu Family. Moreover, their foundations were even deeper than the Liu Family''s. If the Xia Family fully supported the Su Family, then it would be very troublesome for Liu Ran to carry out the extermination order from above.


    "Hmph! The Zhao Family has been wiped out, but aren''t there still the Wang Family and Li Family? Let them join forces to act. No matter what methods they use, they must not let the Su Corporation have an easy time, even if it means Su Yixue suffers a ruined reputation... It would be best to turn Cloud City upside down!" A shade of gloom shed in Liu Ran''s eyes.


    Previously, in the face of the families of those seven girls, no one dared to take it lightly. Because they were the daughters-inw of the Ye Family, everyone had to weigh the influence of the Ye Family in Great Xia.


    But now, with the Ye Family fallen, the family power behind those girls was not as significant.


    Now that the Ye Family had been dealt a heavy blow, only if Cloud City was in greater chaos and the waters muddier would Liu Ran be able to glimpse the truth behind some matters.


    Whether Ye Fan was truly foolish or just feigning it?


    Exactly who else was still supporting the Ye Family?


    ��


    Cloud City, the night had deepened!


    But in the Xuan Family Courtyard, in Xuan Yufei''s room, Xuan Yufei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.


    Today, when she broke off the engagement with Ye Fan, Xuan Yufei clearly saw the disappointment in Ye Fan''s eyes.


    Had she ultimately failed him?


    Thinking of the many moments she had grown up with Ye Fan, tears involuntarily streamed down Xuan Yufei''s face.


    Why did Ye Fan have to be a fool?


    If only he were not a fool, how good it would be!


    Xuan Yufei also attended the evening banquet, witnessing Su Yixue taking Ye Fan around, talking andughing, which left a sour taste in her heart, not daring to approach and strike up a conversation.


    If she hadn''t broken off the engagement with Ye Fan, the one apanying Ye Fan would have been her.


    But now, everything was irreversible!


    Xuan Yufei fell asleep in a daze, and the next morning, the first thing she wanted to do upon waking up was to see Ye Fan.


    Even though she was no longer with Ye Fan, Xuan Yufei still hoped he was faring well!


    ��


    At Su Yixue''s residence, when Su Yixue woke up, sunlight was already shining into the bedroom.


    Looking at herself, naked in Ye Fan''s embrace, and the crimson peach blossom on the bedsheets, Su Yixue was so shy she barely dared to lift her head.


    She had be Ye Fan''s woman?


    Was this foolish man before her going to be her husband in the future?


    Regrets?


    Su Yixue asked herself inwardly, unable to articte her feelings. Perhaps her decision at the time was impulsive, but by this moment, Su Yixue had made up her mind. No matter what, from now on, she and Ye Fan were united as husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace together.


    No regrets!


    "Wife Yixue, are you awake?" Ye Fan looked at Su Yixue as she opened her eyes and tenderly said, "Wife Yixue, I made you bleedst night, does it hurt?"


    "Ah!" Su Yixue, already bashful, didn''t know how to respond to Ye Fan''s question, "You... you''re so bad..."


    Recalling how Ye Fan had used mice to scare her in the forestst night, Su Yixue seriously doubted whether Ye Fan was truly foolish or just pretending.


    After frolicking for a while and finishing their morning wash-up, they were ready to eat breakfast. A bodyguard at the door said, "Miss Su, someone at the door is looking for Young Master Ye!"


    Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, who would be looking for him this early in the morning?


    Su Yixue was also full of curiosity, "Who is it?"


    The bodyguard at the door looked a bit strange, "Miss Xuan Yufei!"


    "What does she want? Didn''t she break off the engagement with Xiao Fan? Hmph!" Su Yixue got a bit angry at the mention of Xuan Yufei. Yesterday, in front of so many people, the Xuan Family had no regard for the Ye Family''s face and publicly broke off the engagement.


    And now she has the gall to look for Ye Fan?

 Chapter 15: Chapter 15 I am his woman, please do not harass my man!

    Hearing that it was Xuan Yufei, Ye Fan''s heart also gave a sudden jolt!


    The girl who had apanied him during his youth had, in fact, left a deep imprint in his heart.


    But when Xuan Yufei broke off their engagement in such a situation, it was nothing short of kicking him while he was down. Although it wasn''t Xuan Yufei who orchestrated it, the fact that she didn''t stand up for Ye Fan hurt him deeply.


    Yet, whenever he thought of that girl, Ye Fan still felt a twinge of regret and mncholy in his heart.


    "Let''s go! Let''s see!" Su Yixue took Ye Fan by the arm, straightened her appearance a bit, and deliberately messed up her clothes to look somewhat disheveled, before walking out the door with Ye Fan.


    At the gate of the vi, Xuan Yufei stood alone, looking deste. Seeing Ye Fan and Su Yixue walking out so intimately, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.


    Had Ye Fan already gotten together with Su Yixue after just one day?


    "Xuan Yufei, what are you doing here? Didn''t you just break off your engagement with Ye Fan yesterday? Do you want to ridicule my man again?" Su Yixue did not give Xuan Yufei a friendly look.


    The face of the Ye Family was something everyone was supposed to uphold together.


    Yet the Xuan Family had publicly ground the Ye Family''s face into the dirt in front of so many people yesterday. That wasn''t enough, they wanted to humiliate Ye Fan again today?


    Xuan Yufei knew that her actions yesterday had hurt many people. So she didn''t retort Su Yixue''s words, but instead turned her head and looked at Ye Fan tenderly, "Brother Fan! I came to say I''m sorry. Yesterday... it wasn''t what I wanted. It was my uncle''s decision, I..."


    Towards the end of her speech, Xuan Yufei felt like she was about to cry.


    Deep down, Xuan Yufei truly loved Ye Fan. But her character was too soft, and shecked the guts of people like Yu Linglong to stand up when her uncle announced the news.


    But it was just one night, and everything had already changed beyond recall.


    "Princess Yu, you''re here? I''ve been looking for you all morning. Didn''t we agree to watch a movie together today?" Before Xuan Yufei could finish talking, a Mercedes suddenly stopped by. Li Yunyang from the Cloud City Li Family got out of the car, spoke gently to Xuan Yufei, and handed her a bouquet of roses.


    "Ah... this..." Xuan Yufei felt so awkward that she almost dug a three-bedroom t out of the ground with her toes. She hade to apologize, so what was Li Yunyang doing here at this time?


    And who was the gossip who had told Li Yunyang about her schedule?


    It was definitely her uncle!


    Sigh!


    "Xuan Yufei, is this your apology? Are you here to apologize, or to show off your love?" Seeing Ye Fan looking disheartened, Su Yixue couldn''t bear it and stepped forward to scold Xuan Yufei, "Xuan Yufei, let me tell you, I am already Ye Fan''s woman... so please, don''t bother my husband again in the future!"


    As she spoke, Su Yixue lifted Ye Fan''s chin and tenderly nted a kiss on his lips.


    This was a deration as well as a show of defiance.


    Click!


    Xuan Yufei felt as if she could actually hear the sound of her heart breaking at that moment.


    Had they really gotten together so quickly?


    Wasn''t Ye Fan supposed to be a simpleton? How could he do something like this?


    Ye Fan had also held some regrets about Xuan Yufei, so seeing her take the initiative toe and apologize made him feel somewhat consoled. However, seeing Li Yunyang appear irritated him straight away.


    What''s more, Ye Fan had already learned from the mouths of Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Dechang that the Cloud City Li Family was a vassal family of the Liu Family in Provincial City and had also participated in the action to ostracize the Ye Family.


    They were the life-and-death enemies of the Ye Family.


    Xuan Yufei actually broke up with me, but to turn around and throw herself into the arms of the Ye Family''s enemy?


    This was something that Ye Fan couldn''t ept!


    "Heh heh! Princess Yu, if you won''t be my wife, I''ve got another wife now... and she''s prettier than you, plus I have six others..." Ye Fan counted seriously on his fingers, tallying carefully.


    Ye Fan did it on purpose, to show that if Xuan Yufei wouldn''t be with him, there were seven other beautiful sisters-inw who would!


    Pfft!


    Xuan Yufei felt a surge of blood in her chest, sweetness in her throat, and she barely held back from vomiting, staggering a bit. Her face turned pale as she looked at Ye Fan, trying to keep a smile and said, "Brother Fan! As long as you''re happy... I wish you well..."


    With that, Xuan Yufei held back the tears in her eyes from falling, and quickly walked towards her car.


    Li Yunyang wanted to step forward to support Xuan Yufei but was angrily pushed away by her, "Scram!"


    Xuan Yufei didn''t like Li Yunyang at all, but after knowing that the Ye Family had fallen, her uncle insisted, for the sake of the Xuan Family''s development, that she date Li Yunyang.


    Su Yixue was dealing with matters at thepany today, and she was worried about how to arrange things for Ye Fan.


    Given Ye Fan''s current situation, leaving him alone at home worried Su Yixue, but taking Ye Fan with her to thepany was also inconvenient, especially since she needed to go out for negotiations.


    However, just as Su Yixue was fretting, Wang Fugui drove over.


    "Sister-inw, go to work with peace of mind, I''ll take good care of Big Brother!" Wang Fugui said confidently, easing Su Yixue''s worriespletely.


    The rtionship between Wang Fugui and Ye Fan was like that of two brothers who grew up in the same pair of pants. At any time, Wang Fugui would protect Ye Fan unconditionally.


    Moreover, Wang Fugui''s power was growing continuously, so Ye Fan should be quite safe with him.


    "Okay! Then I''ll leave him in your care, I''lle back as soon as I can in the afternoon!" Su Yixue instructed Wang Fugui and then drove off.


    Wang Fugui took Ye Fan into his car and waited for Su Yixue to leave before he spoke up, "Big Brother! Everyone''s gone now, can you stop pretending? I know you''re feigning ignorance on purpose. Between brothers, there''s no need for pretense, right?"


    After returning home the day before, the more Wang Fugui thought about it, the more something felt off.


    Ye Fan''s behavior at the banquet and that peculiar sensation made Wang Fugui feel that Ye Fan was different than before. If Ye Fan had truly be foolish before, he must have awakened by now.


    Especially in the middle of the night, when Wang Fugui received news that the Zhao Family had been wiped out overnight.


    The first person Wang Fugui thought of was Ye Fan taking action, but when he called Elder Ye, he found out that Ye Fan was staying in Su Yixue''s vi and wouldn''t have had the chance to do anything.


    Unable to figure it out, Wang Fugui went to see Ye Fan early in the morning, hoping to probe him.


    "Old Wang, what do you want to package? I have a stic bag here, do you need it?" Ye Fan pulled out a stic bag and handed it to Wang Fugui, which left Wang Fugui not knowing whether tough or cry.


    Was his big brother really still foolish?


    "Big Brother! I don''t know if you''re really foolish or pretending, but I''ll assume you''vee to your senses!" While driving, Wang Fugui said to Ye Fan, "Since we''re free today, I''ll take you out and about to some ces we used to go. Maybe you''ll be able to remember something!"


    Wang Fugui''s words made Ye Fan feel a tightness in his heart.


    Where did he often go before bing foolish?


    Could it be the Heaven on Earth clubs?

 Chapter 16: Chapter 16 A Broken Stone for Fifty Thousand?

    "Big brother! Do you know? Yesterday, the Zhao Family was annihted by a Grandmaster expert. It''s said that the Grandmaster''s name is Fan Ye. It''s so satisfying... Zhao Tianlong deserved it for humiliating you at the banquet!"


    "Big brother! You have to watch out for that father and son duo, Xu Jian and Xu Dong, from your household. Those two are not good people! I suspect that the trouble with the Ye Family can''t be unconnected to them!"


    ...


    All along the way, Wang Fugui chattered nonstop like a machine gun.


    But it also allowed Ye Fan to get a general understanding of the situation in Cloud City.


    The ce where Wang Fugui finally parked was in front of a dpidated pavilion, and upon seeing the familiar area, Ye Fan immediately remembered.


    This was thergest ck market in Cloud City, also one of the biggest in the entire Southwest.


    Inside, there was an abundance of everything: elixir pills that could enhance Martial Arts cultivation, various medicinal herbs, and numerous rare treasures.


    As long as you could afford it, there was nothing you couldn''t buy except for what you couldn''t imagine.


    Previously, Ye Fan loved to bring Wang Fugui here to browse and they would often find great items.


    "How about it? Does it feel familiar?" Wang Fugui opened the car door and introduced to Ye Fan, "Big brother, you used to bring me here very often!"


    "Buying things! Buying things!" Pretending to be very naive, Ye Fan got out of the car, pped his hands, and walked towards the entrance of the ck market on his own.


    The underground market of Cloud City was actually hidden underground.


    So, it looked deste from the outside, but the real hustle and bustle was three levels below ground.


    Wang Fugui followed behind on purpose, watching Ye Fan head towards the entrance of the ck market with familiarity, a gleam of sharp light shing in his eyes. Does big brother still remember the way from before?


    It seems that he''s really notpletely stupid!


    There must be hope for big brother''s awakening, and there must also be hope for the Ye Family.


    What I''m saying, my big brother, how could he be mediocre.


    "Big brother, wait for me!" Wang Fugui called out as he ran after him, but what he didn''t know was that what he was seeing was only what Ye Fan wanted him to see.


    Having not been here for five years, Ye Fan and Wang Fugui entered the third level underground together, where the scene was still incredibly lively.


    There was a feverish fighting scene, and on the side, some men were tantly pressing women against the tables, carrying out their actions.


    None of these caught Ye Fan''s interest; what he was interested in was the alley where the ck market vendors were set up.


    Five years ago, when Ye Fan was still considered a demonic prodigy, he had purchased quite a few good items here, and he had also quietly bought a number of elixir pills and Rune Talismans here.


    For his first venture after awakening, Ye Fan also wanted to see if there were any elixir pills suitable for Wang Fugui that could help him break through to above the Grandmaster Realm.


    Ye Fan remembered that back when Wang Fugui was following him, he used to consume elixir pills like candy beans; five years ago, he was close to breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm, but now he was still hovering at the peak of the Control Realm.


    This loyal brother who had never abandoned him, Ye Fan absolutely had to lend him a hand.


    "Big brother, have you taken a liking to anything? Whatever big brother likes, Old Wang will get it for you today!"


    Ye Fan scanned through, his mysterious Devil''s Pupil awakening, allowing him to see through the surface of some objects and discern their true nature.


    Some counterfeit antiques with no fluctuations in aura were fake. There were also some genuine items with an ancient aura fluctuating around them, but their prices were obviously inted.


    Having walked two-thirds of the alley, Ye Fan hadn''t found anything that caught his eye.


    That is until he passed by a stall selling stones, and Ye Fan was suddenly drawn to a pitch-ck stone.


    From the outside, the stone seemed unremarkable, but through his Devil''s Pupil, Ye Fan could see inside the stone, there was a Vitality Pill wrapped within��a good thing for aiding a breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm.


    On the market, even with a bid of 10 billion, one might not necessarily be able to purchase it.


    Ye Fan was somewhat curious, why would someone seal a Vitality Pill inside a piece of broken stone?


    But since he hade across it, there was naturally no reason for Ye Fan to pass it up.


    Ye Fan stopped in his tracks, pretending to be seriously selecting other nice-looking stones on the ground, "Boss, how much for this one?"


    "That one''s 50,000!"


    "And this one?"


    "80,000!"


    After Ye Fan had inquired about several good-looking stones and the owner had be impatient with the questions, his gaze finally turned to that piece of pitch-ck stone, "This stone looks pretty fun too��taking it home to y with the kitten would definitely be great!"


    The owner nced at it and said, "If you buy any other stone, I''ll throw this one in for free!"


    A subtle smile emerged at the corner of the boss''s mouth, unnoticed; the stone was actually used to prop up the leg of a table at his home��it just looked like it was of decent quality, so he brought it along with the other merchandise.


    Hadn''t expected some idiot would actually take interest!


    "Great! Then I''ll take these two," Ye Fan happily picked up the ck stone and another priced at 30,000, waving towards Wang Fugui, "Old Wang, pay up! You promised you would help me buy things."


    Wang Fugui followed beside with a bitter expression.


    "Big Brother, at a nce, these two items are trash! Why waste your money?" Wang Fugui wasn''t concerned about the cost; he just felt it was a pity.


    Back when Ye Fan was still in his peak condition, his judgment definitely wouldn''t have been this poor. And now, after bing foolish, could he no longer even distinguish between good and bad things?


    What a sigh!


    "Hmph! Are you not willing to spend money on me? If you won''t, I''ll pay myself!" As he spoke, Ye Fan was about to search his own pockets.


    But in reality, how could Ye Fan have any money on him?


    Five years ago, after Ye Fan''s incident, everyone thought he was a fool and would never leave money on him.


    "I''ll pay! Is that not enough? As long as you''re content, Big Brother!" Wang Fugui let out a deep sigh, already quite satisfied with Ye Fan''s performance.


    At least Ye Fan still remembered the way to the ck market and knew how to buy things.


    After paying, Ye Fan and Wang Fugui left with the stones in hand, looped around the ck market, but didn''t find any other good items.


    Just as they were about to leave, Ye Fan''s ears suddenly caught the conversation of several people nearby.


    "Do you know? A major event has happened to the Ye Family��ten members of the Ye Family, all heroic figures, perished yesterday, but it seems like the Ye Family''s rival is not ready to let them off. They''ve hired a fighter who''s nearly achieved the Martial Venerable Realm topletely eradicate the Ye Family in the next few days!"


    "What? A Martial Venerable level fighter? Those are rare even in the Great Xia! s, who did the Ye Family offend to be treated like this? After all, Old Master Ye had made significant contributions to Great Xia back in the day!"


    "It can''t be helped, perhaps his merits were too intimidating for the sovereign. It''s a pity... so many valiant young men of the Ye Family... In the end, not even a single descendant can be spared!"


    Ye Fan''s heart jolted upon hearing this!


    So they were nning to take action so soon?


    And they''d even managed to hire a Martial Venerable level expert, intending to kill off thest few members of the Ye Family?


    Hmph!


    Now that I''ve awakened, how could I let you seed?

 Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Please eat the stone! You must eat it!

    Ye Fan turned his head and quietly memorized the appearances of those few individuals!


    Ye Fan would find them as soon as possible, investigate thoroughly where exactly the information hade from, and he was determined to deal with that expert before they made a move against the Ye Family.


    Upon exiting the underground ck market, Wang Fugui sighed helplessly as he watched Ye Fan constantly fiddling with several stones in his hand.


    Could it be that he had misjudged the situation?


    He thought his elder brother, Su Xing, had awakened, but his brother still looked this way; he wondered when he would fully recover.


    Now, if his brother didn''t recover soon, the Ye Family really couldn''t hold out for much longer!


    Just relying on those girls to support them, they couldn''t possibly withstand the enemy''s onught.


    "Old Wang, try this, it tastes really good!" Ye Fan passed the pitch-ck stone in his hand to Wang Fugui, making Wangugh and cry, "Big brother, this is a stone, not candy! You can''t eat it!"


    "Why can''t I eat it? Look... just like this, a bite, and it''ll crack just like that!" In order to guide Wang Fugui to discover the Vitality Pill within the stone, Ye Fan sacrificed himself by using his teeth to break a stone.


    Ye Fan''s actions made Wang Fugui''s teeth ache.


    "I better not!" Wang Fugui shook his head, nning to put the stone away, "I''ll take the stone, is it okay if I eat it when I get back?"


    "No way!" Seeing Wang Fugui trying to put the stone away, Ye Fan became anxious.


    This fool, Wang Fugui, couldn''t discover the miraculous qualities within the stone. If he took the stone back with him, it was possible he might just throw it away.


    "You said, good brothers should share fortunes and face difficulties together... if you don''t eat it, it means you don''t regard me as your big brother!" Puffed up with anger, Ye Fan sat down on the ground, intending to act stubbornly.


    Wang Fugui looked at Ye Fan with a bitter expression, "Fine! I''ll eat it, is that okay? Good big brother!"


    Wang Fugui put the stone in his mouth, figuring he could just use a little Qi Force to crush the stone and just pretend for appearances'' sake.


    s!


    In this moment, Ye Fan waspletely like a child; why was he even arguing with a child?


    However, when Wang Fugui''s teeth touched the stone''s outer shell, he finally noticed something amiss.


    This stone wasn''t as hard as he had imagined?


    The shell was even somewhat soft?


    Crack!


    Wang Fugui bit into it lightly and without much effort, the edge of the stone split open.


    Wang Fugui spat out the two halves of the stone from his mouth and, after carefully observing what was inside, his pupils dted dramatically, "Vitality Pill... Heaven above..."


    He stopped mid-sentence, hurriedly covering his mouth tightly.


    Then, he brought the stone up close to his face and inspected it several times again.


    No mistake!


    It was a Vitality Pill!


    This was an elixir pill that was extremely important for breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm or even the Martial Venerable Realm.


    With the help of this elixir, breaking through to the Grandmaster could increase the sess rate by seventy percent, and for the Martial Venerable, by fifty percent.


    But looking over Great Xia, there were only a handful of people who could refine Vitality Pills.


    Such elixirs had been hyped up to a price of fifty billion in the market recently, and that was with price but no market; they simply couldn''t be bought with money.


    Elixirs like this, once exposed, would immediately attract the coveting of countless powerful forces. All would spare no expense in their attempts to seize them!


    And now, such a pill was in his own hands?


    Having confirmed it was a Vitality Pill, Wang Fugui''s look towards Ye Fan underwent a drastic change.


    Was this all just a coincidence, or had his big brother done it on purpose?


    Ye Fan made a fuss about buying those two rocks, and when they were cracked open, they actually contained Vitality Pills?


    Such a coincidence, isn''t it even rarer than the chance of winning two hundred million in a lottery?


    "Big brother, are you feigning ignorance, or are you deliberately hiding something from me? Did you already know that there were Vitality Pills inside?" Wang Fugui was too astonished, it couldn''t possibly be that much of a coincidence.


    However, the Ye Fan in front of him lookedpletely clueless, "Old Wang, how is it? I told you it tasted good, didn''t I? Come on, hurry up and eat it while it''s hot!"


    "..." Wang Fugui was speechless, he looked Ye Fan up and down carefully, making sure Ye Fan was not pretending, then he gingerly stowed away the Vitality Pill, "Big brother, you truly are my lucky star! With this Vitality Pill, I will soon be able to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, and then I can be even more powerful at protecting you by your side!"


    Grandmasters in the Grandmaster Realm were not numerous throughout Great Xia.


    Usually, a strong person who reached this realm could preside over a territory and be a local hegemon.


    A Grandmaster was already enough to support a super n!


    Hearing Wang Fugui speak like this, Ye Fan thought to himself that this boy did have a conscience.


    Now, Ye Fan had to keep ying dumb. When many things couldn''t be done openly, having Wang Fugui step in was the best option. And naturally, the increase in Wang Fugui''s strength was good for Ye Fan as well.


    The two of them had just gotten into the car, ready to head home, when Ye Fan''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    It was Xia Hao calling, "Doctor Ye, may I ask if you are avable? I would like to invite you to a meal and introduce you to a few people!"


    Xia Hao knew the real situation of Ye Fan!


    Yesterday, at the banquet, Ye Fan had revealed his circumstances to Xia Hao. Knowing that he hadtched onto a golden thigh, Xia Hao thought to introduce Ye Fan to his direct lineage troops in Cloud City today.


    "Lunch? I''m hungry, I need to eat..." Ye Fan responded to the phone and then turned to look at Wang Fugui.


    Wang Fugui took over the phone, and after knowing it was Xia Hao on the other end, he replied and took Ye Fan to the ce Xia Hao had set.


    Wang Fugui was also present at the banquet yesterday and knew about the connection between Xia Hao and Ye Fan.


    ...


    Half an hourter, at the Royal Hotel, in the Tian character suite!


    Ye Fan sat at the head of the table, with Wang Fugui sitting next to him, while the table also hosted Xia Hao and several other men.


    Among them was the underground godfather of Cloud City, Li Hu, and the Governor of Cloud City, Sun Qian!


    "Young Master Ye, let me introduce you, both of these gentlemen are from the Xia Family. This is Li Hu, who has not a small say in some of the under-the-table dealings in Cloud City. If you have any unsolvable issues, you can seek his help!"


    Hearing Xia Hao''s introduction, Li Hu quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Ye Fan, "Li Hu has seen Young Master Ye, and I am at your disposal from now on!"


    "Another one is the Governor of Cloud City, Sun Qian, who should be promoted to Provincial City in five years, and he is also one of us from the Xia Family! If there''s anything official, he can help!"


    Sun Qian didn''t dare to act too proudly either, standing up as well and respectfully saying to Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, if there''s anything I can help with, I will not hesitate to serve!"


    Cloud City was only so big, and actually, without Xia Hao''s introduction, both Li Hu and Sun Qian recognized Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan''s situation was no secret in Cloud City.


    Five years ago, Ye Fan was the most famous prodigious talent of the Ye Family, stepping into the Grandmaster Realm at 15, with a limitless future. A car ident left Ye Fan mentally impaired, but it still couldn''t cover up his past brilliance.


    Both of them couldn''t understand why, after the Ye Family had suffered such a heavy blow, with everyone avoiding them like the gue, Xia Hao would choose to treat Ye Fan with such respect, almost as if he were his own father.


    But as people nurtured by the Xia Family, they understood that Xia Hao would have his reasons for doing so!


    In their minds, they were guessing, could it be that the youngest master of the Ye Family had awakened?


    If that was the case, showing goodwill to the Ye Family now could mean taking offter, right?


    Of course, Xia Hao knew that Ye Fan was actually lucid, and could understand everything being said; but to keep up appearances, he politely exined to Wang Fugui, "Young Master Wang! I know you are Young Master Ye''s best friend and brother. When Young Master Ye is not avable, you can directly contact these two!"


    "Thank you, Patriarch Xia!" Though Wang Fugui was a bit simple-minded, he also knew that the Xia Family was offering timely assistance at this moment.


    In Cloud City, with the overt and covert protection of Sun Qian and Li Hu, Ye Fan would have a lot less trouble!


    Just as everyone was starting to eat, Li Hu suddenly received a message from his subordinates, and his face changed drastically, "Young Master Ye, Director Xia, something has gone wrong... My men just sent me a message saying that Old Wolf Wu''s men have all moved out, it seems like they are going after Miss Su Yixue..."

 Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Yixues Wife is Being Hunted?

    ```


    Huh?


    With Li Hu''s words, Ye Fan''s eyes sharpened instantly!


    A powerful aura surged, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop several degrees, "Save my wife! Save my wife..."


    In front of so many people, Ye Fan couldn''t show his anxiety too obviously; he could only stand up and rush towards the exit of the private room.


    Justst night, Su Yixue became his woman, and today, she was being pursued for assassination?


    Let me find out who they are. I will grind their bones to dust.


    Xia Hao immediately chastised, "Don''t just stand there, get everyone moving! At all costs, ensure Miss Su''s safety!"


    From Ye Fan''s actions, Xia Hao could see that Su Yixue held a very important ce in Ye Fan''s heart.


    This was the first task he took on after pledging allegiance to Ye Fan, and he could not afford any mistakes.


    "Yes!"


    After Li Hu responded, he immediately started issuing frantic orders, "Pass down mymand, everyone, begin the operation now! At all costs, move against Old Wolf Wu, and prepare for battle!"


    As an official figure, Sun Qian couldn''t intervene directly, but he also quickly made several calls, employing whatever power he could to help as much as possible!


    In an instant, the whole Cloud City was in an uproar!


    In every street and alley, countless men under Li Hu began to arm themselves and move out!


    All avable informants were activated, and they soon locked onto Old Wolf Wu''s route.


    "Lord Hu, Old Wolf Wu is currently leading his men towards Liang Family Alley in the Western Suburbs of Cloud City. ording to thetest reports, they haven''t seeded yet. Miss Su, under the protection of her men, is in retreat and trying to escape!"


    As Ye Fan, Li Hu, and others were driving towards the Western Suburbs of Cloud City, Ye Fan''s heart secretly rxed upon hearing the messageing through the phone.


    Fortunately, nothing had happened to Su Yixue yet, "Go faster! Save my wife! Save my wife!"


    In reality, Ye Fan''s fury was almost uncontroble!


    The Ye Family had undergone such a drastic change; did these people really think the Ye Family was without protectors?


    Did they believe they could just walk all over us?


    It was time to show them some colors!


    If obliterating the Zhao Family yesterday could be seen as an ident, then today, after figuring out who was behind this, Ye Fan would be even more ruthless!


    This was a warning to those thinking of moving against the Su Family and the Ye Family.


    To let them know the consequences of provoking the Ye Family.


    ...


    Western Suburbs of Cloud City!


    Su Yixue sat in a sedan, which by now was battered and riddled with damage. The front of the car was dented, and arge chunk of the rear was missing.


    Besides the driver inside the car, there were two bodyguards, but both were drenched in blood.


    Today Su Yixue was supposed to negotiate the continuation of a partnership with Zheng Biao, the biggest supplier to the Su Family, but she never expected that Zheng Biao would set up an ambush and hire a gang of thugs to take her to a hotel and dishonor her.


    Luckily, the bodyguards by Su Yixue''s side discovered the trap in time. At the critical moment, they fought their way out, saving Su Yixue and helping her escape.


    However, that gang of thugs chased them relentlessly like maggots attached to bones, from the city center all the way to the Western Suburbs of Cloud City.


    ```


    Bang!


    The vans roared past, mming into Su Yixue''s car, forcefully pushing it into an adjacent alley until there was no road left ahead. From inside the car, the Bodyguard Captain Zhao Datou spoke, "President Su, you should go by yourself! Years ago, you kindly took us in, and now it''s time for us to repay you. Run as far as you can, we''ll cover your escape!"


    Zhao Datou, once gravely ill beneath a bridge, had been waiting for death.


    It was Su Yixue who took him in, treated his illness, and then got him a job as a security guard at the Su Corporation. He learned martial arts,ter bing a bodyguard, and had always been loyal to Su Yixue.


    "Be careful!" Su Yixue knew this was not the time for indecision. After instructing her fewpanions, she quickly ran deeper into the alley.


    Determination shone in Su Yixue''s eyes!


    The moment she announced her intention to marry Ye Fan, Su Yixue knew she would face tough and dangerous obstacles ahead.


    She just hadn''t expected trouble toe so quickly.


    But Su Yixue was prepared. She was already Ye Fan''s woman, and even in death, she wouldn''t let anyoney a finger on her, nor would she allow her enemies to capture her and use her as leverage against Ye Fan.


    Behind her, Zhao Datou and his two men, despite their injuries, gripped their three machetes, which already had curled des. Yet they still exuded an unyielding aura as they formed a blockade, facing off against the dozens of thugs chasing them.


    "Stop your futile resistance! Do you really think the three of you can withstand the charge of our hundred men?" The leader of the pursuers, who seemed to have suffered at the hands of Zhao Datou before, hesitated to act rashly, seeing the stance of Zhao and his men.


    "Hmph! If you want to attack President Su, just try... Killing one is worth it, killing two is a profit... Those who aren''t afraid to die, bring it on! Come on!" A fierce light shed in Zhao Datou''s eyes as he roared at the thugs chasing them.


    Their resolute courage intimidated everyone present.


    The thugs were actually pushed back two steps by Zhao Datou''s powerful aura.


    Using his peripheral vision to look behind, Zhao Datou could no longer see Su Yixue. His current objective was to stall for time, even just a second more, to give Su Yixue a chance to escape.


    If only she could leave this ce, Su Yixue would be safe.


    If Su Yixue managed to escape safely, even if he had to die here today, Zhao Datou would have no regrets.


    During the tense standoff, Zhao Datou suddenly heard a familiar set of footstepsing from behind. Turning around in shock, he saw it was Su Yixue?


    "President Su, why have youe back?" Zhao Datou was greatly surprised.


    Despair shed in Su Yixue''s eyes, "It''s a dead end back there, there''s no way out!"


    Hiss!


    In that instant, Zhao Datou and his two men felt a chill as if their hearts had plunged into an ice cer.


    A dead end behind them and in front, a blockade of hundreds of thugs, who, by the sounds of it, were being joined by even more thugs converging on their location!


    No matter how one looked at it, today was a certain death!


    "Don''t worry about me anymore, they''vee for me! You all go, they probably won''t make it difficult for you!" After realizing they were trapped, Su Yixue appeared calm.


    Although she had only been Ye Fan''s wife for one night, Su Yixue was satisfied.


    She felt she hadn''t let the Ye Family down, it''s just that she hadn''t been able to bear Ye Fan a child. They would have to wait for another lifetime.


    In her heart, Su Yixue had decided that as soon as Zhao Datou and the others left, she would take her own life right there.


    But Zhao Datou and his men were only briefly stunned before they made a decisive resolution, "Old Mo, Xiao Tao, protect President Su in the middle! We''ll cut a bloody path out once more... Even if we can''t break through, we''ll havepany on Yellow Springs Road, we won''t be lonely!"


    Zhao Datou''s chivalrous spirit instantly spread through the narrow alley!


    Three bloodstained madmen, guarding a peerless beauty, knew the road ahead was fraught with peril, yet they still advanced as if embracing death without hesitation!


    The scene was briefly tragic...

 Chapter 19: Chapter 19 My Hero Came on a Rainbow Cloud!

    "What the hell are you doing?"


    As the local thugs were somewhat caught up in the mood of the scene, a brusque reprimand from the entrance of the alley shattered the atmosphere.


    A middle-aged man with a wolf head tattooed on his arm, nked by a group of thugs, quickly marched into the alley.


    It was none other than the leader of another major underworld force in Cloud City, Old Wolf Wu.


    "Just three men, and all of you just stand there watching, waiting for them to have kids or what?" Old Wolf Wu angrily berated his men, "Top brass said we have to take down Su Yixue today, no matter what, dead or alive. Get on it."


    After Old Wolf Wu''s shout, he extended his hand to a subordinate beside him and pulled out a battle saber, stepping forward and charging toward Zhao Datou.


    Seeing their boss personally entering the fray, where would his men dare to dawdle? They all swarmed forward, shouting, "Kill!"


    Zhao Datou, though brave, was unfortunately only with three people.


    It didn''t take more than a couple of exchanges before he was overpowered and pinned to the ground by the crowd.


    By this time, Su Yixue waspletely surrounded by a gang of thugs.


    Old Wolf Wu stared at Su Yixue like prey, "They say Miss Su is the most beautiful woman in Cloud City, too bad she''s to waste on that idiot! How about this, Miss Su, agree to spend a wonderful night with me, and I guarantee a swift end for you?"


    The greedy look in Old Wolf Wu''s eyes as he stared at Su Yixue was unmistakable.


    Normally, someone like Su Yixue would be out of Old Wolf Wu''s league even in his dreams.


    But this time, with clear instructions from above, killing or humiliating Su Yixue would count as a great achievement; thus, Old Wolf Wu had no reservations.


    "Don''t... Don''te any closer..." Su Yixue picked up a battle saber from the ground, holding it in front of her, "Don''t even think about touching a hair on my head. Even in death, I will not let you take advantage of me!"


    After her intimate encounter with Ye Fan the day before, Su Yixue could clearly feel that her body had warmed up quite a bit, filling her with strength and even traces of Martial Breath.


    With the battle saber in hand, Su Yixue felt no fear.


    "You little girl, at a time like this, you''re still trying to act tough..."


    A minor thug standing beside Old Wolf Wu couldn''t help but rush forward first, hoping to earn merit.


    But as soon as he got close to Su Yixue, she flicked her wrist, and the battle saber in her hand swiftly chopped at the thug''s fingers.


    St!


    The thug didn''t react in time, and in an instant, his arm was severedpletely.


    Hiss!


    This scene stunned everyone there.


    In their intelligence reports, there was no mention of Su Yixue knowing martial arts.


    But the actions Su Yixue was performing now, the proficiency, clearly indicated she was trained. What was going on?


    Even Su Yixue was shocked by her own actions. The way she brandished the battle saber seemed almost instinctive.


    Since when did she know Martial Arts?


    In the sh of a moment, Su Yixue thought of the warmth that had transferred from Ye Fan to herself during their recent interactions!


    Could it be the influence of that warmth?


    Ye Fan really was a freakish genius. Though her IQ was affected, could the warmth resulting from their intimacy actually possess such magic power?


    The once desperate Su Yixue now felt a bit more confident in her heart.


    If she held on for a few more minutes, perhaps a miracle could happen?


    If Ye Fan was pretending to be a fool, and he knew she was in danger, would hee to save her?


    Riding his multicolored auspicious clouds to rescue her?


    Would her heroe for her?


    As she imagined the scene, Su Yixue couldn''t help but smile.


    During the escape earlier, Su Yixue had no chance to notify anyone. How could Ye Fan possibly know about her situation?


    Su Yixue''s sudden burst of strength only caused the thugs to hesitate momentarily.


    But a few secondster, Old Wolf Wu was thoroughly enraged, "Brothers, don''t hesitate! Kill her right away to avoid any moreplications!"


    The fact that Su Yixue knew martial arts was a very bad sign.


    Old Wolf Wu feared the longer the dy, the greater the chance of unforeseen trouble.


    Regardless, the task given from above had to bepleted first.


    The crowd surrounded her once more, and Su Yixue, though instinctively wielding her battle saber to block for a moment,cked experience on one hand and, on the other, the number of opponents was indeed overwhelming!


    ng!


    The battle saber in Su Yixue''s hand was knocked flying away, and she was now unarmed!


    Above Su Yixue''s head, numerous glinting battle sabers, without any hesitation, chopped down towards her with great speed.


    The order from above was clear, to kill Su Yixue as a warning to others!


    Therefore, at that moment, Old Wolf Wu and the others had only one thought in mind, to kill Su Yixue!


    "Goodbye, Xiao Fan!" Su Yixue closed her eyes in despair, thinking of the blissful night before and feeling an infinite sense of regret, "If there is an afterlife, I will be your wife again. You must... take good care..."


    "Wife! Don''t be afraid, I''vee to save you!"


    In her confusion, Su Yixue suddenly heard a familiar voice.


    Was it Ye Fan?


    Was she experiencing an auditory hallucination?


    Had Ye Fan reallye at this moment?


    Humming!


    While everyone was still wondering where the sound wasing from, at the mouth of the alley, a figure on a motorbike roared into view.


    Apparently finding the crowd in his way, the motorbike suddenly reared up, roaring and charging straight over the alley''s surrounding walls.


    It was none other than Ye Fan, who had hurried over.


    Ye Fan, riding on the motorbike, stared intently at Su Yixue amidst the shing des, anger flickering in his eyes, which were also filled with tenderness.


    Was it really Ye Fan who hade?


    Her greatest hero had truly arrived on a rainbow cloud to save her in her most desperate moment?


    Seeing clearly that it was indeed Ye Fan who hade, the light that had faded from Su Yixue''s eyes filled with color in an instant.


    If she were to die now, she would have no regrets!


    Although Ye Fan might still be foolish, Ye Fan had true affection!


    All her efforts had been worth it!


    Ye Fan, on his motorbike with the throttle turned to the max, made every action in the alley seem to slow down for a moment.


    At this point, Ye Fan didn''t hold back at all, and his figure moved with extreme speed.


    As the motorbike was about to rush beside Su Yixue, Ye Fan kicked off the ground, and the moment the bikended, performed a 360-degree tail swing, sweeping all the thugs attacking Su Yixue off their feet.


    The cold, shing battle sabers had cut several strands of Su Yixue''s hair but ultimately were knocked away in a moment that was millimeters away from her skin!


    Ye Fan descended from the sky, holding Su Yixue tightly in his embrace like a Heavenly God incarnate, "Yixue, my wife, you scared me to death, it''s so good that you''re alright! So good!"


    Su Yixue was stunned by such a sight of Ye Fan.


    Wasn''t this the exceptional genius, the pride of the heavens?


    This was the final torchbearer of the Ye Family that they had to protect!


    "Xiao Fan, you''ve awakened, haven''t you?" Aftering to her senses, Su Yixue joyously held Ye Fan''s cheeks, shaking them vigorously.


    If Ye Fan had awakened at this moment, then there was hope for the Ye Family, and the sisters'' vigil would have been worth it...

 Chapter 20: Chapter 20 The Terrifying Power of a Fool’s Outburst!

    Ye Fan really wanted to tell Su Yixue that he had already awoken!


    But before the real enemies were thoroughly investigated, Ye Fan still had to feign ignorance. He needed to continue ying the fool.


    Whoosh!


    At that moment, at the entrance of the alley, Li Hu and Xia Hao had already brought arge number of people to surround the ce, quickly apprehending Old Wolf Wu''s men.


    Shocked into awareness, Old Wolf Wu''s face turned ashen white. "Quick! Join me, let''s kill them, kill them all!"


    As he spoke, Old Wolf Wu brandished the battle saber in his hand, intending to make a move against Su Yixue and Ye Fan.


    Liu Hu and Wang Fugui, who were about a dozen meters away, upon seeing the situation before them, anxiously shouted out, "Quick! Protect Young Master Ye and Miss Su, hurry!"


    Although they were anxious, with a dozen meters between them, it was not possible for them to teleport over.


    "Still want to bully my wife? You''re all bad guys..." While everyone else was panicking, Ye Fan suddenly went crazy. Letting go of Su Yixue, he picked up a battle saber and madly shed towards Old Wolf Wu.


    Crack!


    Old Wolf Wusted only a single sh with Ye Fan before his battle saber shattered into pieces.


    Ye Fan grabbed Old Wolf Wu by the neck, lifted him like a small chicken, and chased away the surrounding thugs who were trying to join the fray. Then, just as simply, he smashed Old Wolf Wu hard onto the stone pavement, "That''s for bullying my wife, that''s for bullying my wife!"


    Pfft!


    Boom!


    Old Wolf Wu''s nearly 200-pound body was lifted by Ye Fan, like a stick, and smashed hard onto the ground.


    With every impact, the stone pavement cracked apart.


    Poor Old Wolf Wu, originally standing over one meter eighty, now seemed like a mere doll in Ye Fan''s hands, utterly incapable of resistance.


    His ribs were broken; who knew how many, and blood flowed from all seven orifices.


    At first, Old Wolf Wu was screaming, but towards the end, his body went limp, breathing out more than he could breathe in.


    Old Wolf Wu was brutally smashed to death just like that!


    Hiss!


    The ones brought by Old Wolf Wu who were watching Ye Fan''s fierce moves were all stunned, forgetting to advance any further.


    Rushing over, Wang Fugui, Li Hu, and Su Yixue, upon seeing Ye Fan''s state, were also dumbfounded.


    Is this really Ye Fan?


    Disying just the tip of the iceberg of his strength and already so terrifying?


    If the full extent of this monstrous genius''s prowess were to be unleashed, what would that be like?


    "Xiao Fan..." Seeing Ye Fan in an almost insane state, Su Yixue softly called out, surmising from his current behavior that Ye Fan hadn''t truly awoken. It must have been his instincts triggered by her peril.


    But this also indicated that Ye Fan had aplete possibility of recovery!


    Now, she could only hope that Sister Linglong could invite the Great Xia Medical Saint to treat Ye Fan quickly!


    With Old Wolf Wu dead, the rest of his underlings lost the will to fight and were swiftly apprehended by the men Li Hu brought along.


    Ye Fan came back to his senses from the crazed state and stared down at Old Wolf Wu on the ground, his eyes fierce. "Honey, who are they? Why do they want to assassinate you?"


    Ye Fan knew these thugs definitely didn''t truly intend to harm Su Yixue; there must be someone behind them orchestrating this.


    By his side, Xia Hao quickly caught on. Since Ye Fan was still pretending to be foolish, it was not convenient for him to take action, so it was time for him to step up.


    With Old Wolf Wu executed, his capable subordinates were dragged by Li Hu''s people and made to kneel before Li Hu and Xia Hao.


    "Speak! Who ordered you to move against Miss Su?" Li Hu dragged his battle saber, merely poking at the chest of one of Old Wolf Wu''s men a couple of times. Old Wolf Wu''s men quickly confessed, "Don''t kill me, Lord Hu, it''s not our fault! It was Young Master Wang from the Wang Family who approached Old Wolf Wu, asking him to go after Miss Su, saying something about killing the chicken to warn the monkeys..."


    ```


    After a brief exnation from Old Wolf Wu and his men, Ye Fan immediately understood.


    Had the Liu Family of Provincial City made their move?


    The Xia Family''s decision to cooperate with the Su Corporation meant that the current public opinion was actually very unfavorable for Ye Family''s rivals.


    They had to take action against the Su Corporation as soon as possible to show others what would happen if they sided with the Ye Family at this moment.


    The Zhao Family, Wang Family, and Li Family were all vassal families of the Liu Family.


    Originally, the Zhao Family had been at the forefront, but they werepletely wiped out by Ye Fanst night, leaving only the Wang and Li families.


    Hmph!


    Before I even went to them, they took the initiative toe to me?


    Soon, Young Master Ye will let you all know the consequences of targeting the Su Family.


    "Xiao Fan!" As the situation at the scene finally calmed down, Su Yixue''s tense nerves immediately rxed, her body staggered, and she slumped into Ye Fan''s arms, "Save Security Captain Datou..."


    With Su Yixue''sst words, she reminded everyone to save the Su Family''s security captain, Zhao Datou.


    At that moment, Zhao Datou was lying in a pool of blood, barely clinging to life, and severely injured, but still alive.


    Ye Fan just nced over there, and Xia Hao immediately understood, "What are you all doing standing around? Hurry up and take Miss Su to the hospital. Bring those bodyguards with you as well, go fast!"


    ...


    Half an hourter, in the hospital''s intensive care ward!


    The doctor thoroughly examined Su Yixue and signaled everyone to rx a bit, "Don''t worry, the patient is just overly stressed out and a bit depleted of energy, with some rest, she will soon wake up!"


    Wang Fugui, Xia Hao, and others listened and also quietly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Actually, Ye Fan had already checked Su Yixue''s pulse on the way and knew her situation was not worrying.


    However, Ye Fan had also heard about Security Captain Zhao Datou''s situation just now; a security captain had fought so desperately to protect Su Yixue under those circumstances, almost losing his own life in the process.


    This is a person who can be trusted!


    Ye Fan will have many other things to doter and cannot always stay by Su Yixue''s side.


    Therefore, Su Yixue must have someone trustworthy by her side.


    Ye Fan had already decided in his mind that since Zhao Datou was willing to risk his life for Su Yixue, he would grant him an opportunity.


    Ye Fan nced at Xia Hao, "How is Security Brother doing...?"


    Xia Hao was a very smart man; hearing Ye Fan''s words, he immediately understood that Ye Fan wanted to check on Zhao Datou, and promptly arranged, "Does Young Master Ye want to go see Zhao Datou? His wounds have been stitched up, and he is in the next room. I will take Young Master Ye there right now!"


    As he spoke, Xia Hao gestured for Ye Fan to leave the ward with him and head towards the next room.


    After entering the ward, Xia Hao tactfully stayed outside and said, "Young Master Ye, please take your time with the visit; I''ll be right here at the door!"


    Ye Fan''s current identity was delicate and not to be revealed, so Xia Hao had to guard this secret closely.


    Ye Fan took a nce at Xia Hao; this Xia Hao was quite sharp and could also be cultivated further.


    After entering the ward, Ye Fan stepped forward to check Zhao Datou''s pulse; his overall condition was stable.


    Zhao Datou had woken up and, seeing Ye Fan taking his pulse, looked puzzled and asked, "Young Master Ye, you...?"


    Ye Fan gestured with his hand to stop Zhao Datou, "Don''t move around, I''m just here to check on you, and I want to talk to you about something!"


    "Ah?" Within his weakened state, Zhao Datou''s pupils dted in shock as he looked at Ye Fan and said, "Young Master Ye, you... you''re not ''foolish'' anymore?"


    Didn''t they say outside that Ye Fan had be foolish for five years?


    But the way Ye Fan was acting now, he didn''t seem foolish at all.


    ```

 Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Offering 2 Billion as a Bounty, Taking the Job to Kill Yourself?

    Ye Fan nodded, "I have already woken up, but not many people know this secret, and you are one of them. I hope that before I make it public, you can keep this secret for me!"


    "Ah?" Zhao Datou was again taken aback, looking at Ye Fan with a face full of astonishment.


    In the back of his mind, Zhao Datou felt that he had stumbled across an extraordinary opportunity.


    Ye Fan was not foolish, such an important secret, yet Young Master Ye had confided the truth to him, Young Master Ye must have his own ns.


    "I will definitely keep the secret!" Zhao Datou shifted his body, not saying much, and quietly waited for Ye Fan''s next arrangement.


    Ye Fan was very satisfied with Zhao Datou''s reaction, such a response was befitting of a qualified bodyguard, "You did very well today, you protected my wife with your life! As a reward, I will help you enter the Martial Realm, and I will also give you Elixir Pills to aid your advancement... I hope that when I am not by Yixue''s side, you can still protect her like you did today!"


    As he spoke, Ye Fan channeled a stream of Qi Force along his arm, furiously pouring into Zhao Datou''s body.


    Zhao Datou was so excited he could barely speak!


    Martial Arts Qi?


    Young Master Ye was actually going to help him step into the Martial Realm and cultivate Martial Arts?


    One must know that along the path of Martial Arts, from Energy Transformation to Control, Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, Martial Emperor... the journey of cultivation is extremely arduous, and 99.99% of people, throughout their lives, cannot cultivate Martial Arts Qi, let alone advance further.


    A martial artist of the Martial Realm in Great Xia, even the most basic Energy Transformation Master, is an exceedingly rare and sought-after talent!


    And now by some twist of fate, he had acquired this?


    Moreover, after that Martial Arts Qi entered his body, Zhao Datou could clearly feel that both his internal and external injuries were healing at the speed visible to the eye.


    Is this the advantage of a Martial Dao Cultivator?


    "Thank you, Young Master Ye, thank you, Young Master Ye!" Zhao Datou didn''t even know how to thank Ye Fan properly.


    "Don''t talk, feel the flow of Qi Force within your body attentively, I will only teach you once! How quickly you canprehend it depends on your own talent!" After Ye Fan swiftly guided Zhao Datou through aplete cycle of the Martial Arts Qi, he left several Elixir Pills with Zhao Datou and then left the hospital room.


    Xia Hao, who was standing guard at the door, although he did not intend to eavesdrop, just happened to overhear Ye Fan''s conversation with Zhao Datou very clearly because he was at the door.


    Zhao Datou had received such a huge benefit simply by protecting Su Yixue.


    This decision to cooperate with the Su Family waspletely the right one.


    Under the current situation, the Liu Family had already taken action. It might be that both the Su Corporation and he himself would endure some hardships, but as long as they could withstand them, the days ahead were looking bright!


    ...


    In a vi somewhere in Cloud City, Xu Dong and his father sat on the sofa, anxious.


    "Dad! The Zhao Family was suddenly wiped out; we''ve lost our biggest partner in an instant. Without the Zhao Family''s support, our own power may not be enough to take down Ye Corporation!" Xu Dong was worried. Although they had been operating Ye Corporation for many years and had nted a lot of their confidants in thepany,


    Ye Corporation was, after all, the Ye Family''s business, and thepany''s veterans were essentially Ye Changfeng''s staunch supporters.


    Without external support, just with Xu Dong and Xu Jian''s power, it would be very difficult to take control of Ye Corporation.


    "Why not, we find someone to directly take out that old thing and that fool at home?" Xu Dong was rather impatient, "I found outst night that a Grandmaster named Fan Ye has appeared in Cloud City. As long as the price is right, I think he would definitely make a move."


    Xu Jian pondered for a good while before saying, "What''s the rush? There are others who are more anxious than we are about the current situation of the Ye Family! Those legitimate line disciples of the Ye Family will not rest until they are dead, and neither will the people who have acted against the Ye Family!"


    "Besides, don''t forget, although the Ye Family has suffered a great blow now, with Yu Linglong and Su Yixue and others boldly announcing their marriage to Ye Fan, those other families are not to be trifled with! We should just wait patiently!"


    ```


    The conversation paused momentarily before Xu Jian continued, "However, regarding that grandmaster in Cloud City you mentioned, if we don''t expose ourselves, we can give it a try!"


    Xu Dong''s eyes lit up, "Dad! Don''t worry, I already got an ount. I''ll post the task immediately. Grandmasters usually have ounts, and if that big shot sees it, he will surely take the job!"


    ...


    At the Cloud City People''s Hospital, Ye Fan had just left Zhao Datou''s ward when his phone suddenly received an encrypted alert.


    Upon opening it, it was a task notification.


    Five years ago, after breaking through into the Grandmaster Realm, Ye Fan had registered an ount and had taken quite a few tasks since then, ranking quite high even now.


    Initially, Ye Fan wasn''t concerned about the notification, but he unexpectedly saw both his and Ye Changfeng''s names, causing him to frown.


    Someone was putting out a bounty to kill him and his grandfather?


    Astonishingly, ording to the IP address, the person offering the bounty was in Cloud City?


    Furthermore, in the remark section, the employer specifically instructed to meet the person taking up the task and to witness the targets'' deaths with his own eyes.


    Hmph!


    How bold!


    Ye Fan snorted coldly through his nostrils, epted the task, and sent a message arranging to meet under the Central Bridge of Cloud City at midnight.


    Ye Fan was also curious to see who was in such a hurry to put a bounty on his and his grandfather''s heads.


    The offered price started at an astonishing two billion!


    "Young Master Ye..." Xia Hao respectfully called out upon seeing Ye Fan emerge, observing any changes in his expression.


    Ye Fan nodded, looked around, and seeing no one else, he continued, "Come with me, I need you to cover for me!"


    "Okay!"


    Xia Hao immediately called over Wang Fugui and a group of subordinates, telling them Ye Fan needed to go out to buy something and instructing everyone to pay extra attention to Su Yixue''s condition.


    "Find out where Eldest Young Master Wang is right now!" Upon leaving the hospital, Ye Fan immediately gave an order to Xia Hao.


    Locating someone''s position wasn''t a difficult task.


    ...


    Inside the Emperor KTV of Cloud City, Eldest Young Master Wang, Wang Chao, was hugging two beauties, his hands restlessly moving about.


    Suddenly, he received a report from his subordinate, "Young Master Wang, something''s wrong! Old Wolf Wu took action to assassinate Su Yixue and failed. Li Hu acted, and all of Old Wolf Wu''s men were annihted. It''s said that Old Wolf Wu died on the spot!"


    "What? Old Wolf Wu is dead? Idiots! So many people took action and yet couldn''t deal with one woman, fools..." Wang Chao irritably kicked away the two beauties at his side, "Scram!"


    After the women had left, a ruthless gleam shed in Wang Chao''s eyes, "Manager Liu from Provincial City has given instructions, we must take down Su Corporation at all costs, we need to kill the chicken to scare the monkey! Since Old Wolf Wu has failed, we''ll have to use another method."


    "Hmph! I refuse to believe that Su Yixue''s luck is always that good!"


    "Young Master Wang, there''s another situation! ording to feedback from our brothers on the scene, Ye Fan''s strength seems��" While talking, he passed a tablet to Wang Chao, the screen showing footage of Ye Fan saving Su Yixue and crushing Old Wolf Wu to death...


    Wang Chao took one look and his expression chilled, "That idiot, his kung fu is still intact? What a pity, he''s just a fool!"


    ```

 Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Ill borrow your life!

    Wang Chao wasn''t particrly concerned about Ye Fan''s performance.


    Ye Fan has been a fool, not just for a day or two.


    Now that the Ye Family was declining, what waves could a fool like Ye Fan possibly make?


    What Wang Chao cared most about waspleting the task assigned by Manager Liu as soon as possible, making life difficult for the Su Corporation, or killing Su Yixue to make an example for anyone who dared to get close to the Ye Family.


    But to his surprise, Su Yixue was rescued by Li Hu, who suddenly appeared, after Old Wolf Wu made his move!


    It was said that Xia Hao had arrived with reinforcements from the Xia Family in Provincial City, and with their protection over the Su Family, Wang Chao now found himself at a loss!


    With Xia Hao and the godfather of Cloud City, Li Hu, standing guard, relying on the forces of Cloud City was clearly out of the question. It seemed that only by inviting a master from the Xia Family in Provincial City could the situation be handled.


    Creak!


    As Wang Chao was worrying, the door suddenly opened, and an unfamiliar young man pushed the door and walked in.


    "Who the hell are you? Who let you in?" Wang Chao was already irritated; upon seeing the young man enter, he immediately burst out cursing, "What are you all paid for? Are you dead? How could you not stop someone like him?"


    The person who came was none other than Ye Fan in disguise.


    Ye Fan had heard everything clearly while Wang Chao was talking to his subordinates!


    "No need to shout! They''ve all been taken down by me!" Ye Fan sat down on the sofa on his own and looked at Wang Chao and his subordinates indifferently.


    Wang Chao nced at the doorway and saw his bodyguards sprawled out on the ground. He suddenly felt a tightening sensation, "What... what do you want to do?"


    Another tough character?


    Lately, things in Cloud City haven''t been quite peaceful!


    The Zhao Family stirred up trouble with someone named Fan Ye yesterday, and then they were annihted overnight. Now another big shot was looking for him, and he didn''t even know why!


    "Don''t be nervous! I''m here to help you solve a problem... But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Fan Ye! I heard you want to take action against the Su Corporation. If the price is right, I would be very d to do the job for you!"


    Ye Fan stared at Wang Chao with a smile.


    Last night, Ye Fan deliberately left a letter in Zhao Dechang''s study, believing that the name Fan Ye had already made a mark in Cloud City.


    "You... You''re the Grandmaster Fan Ye?" Indeed, upon hearing the name Fan Ye, Wang Chao was shocked and a hint of joy appeared on his face.


    Was this what they meant by someone bringing a pillow when one wanted to sleep?


    Grandmaster Fan Ye taking the initiative toe to him and wanting to cooperate in taking down the Su Family?


    With the power of Grandmaster Fan Ye, who could, unnoticed by gods or ghosts, take out Zhao Dechang and his son Zhao Tianlong overnight, causing the Zhao Family to be annihted in a single night, wouldn''t dealing with the Su Corporation be a piece of cake?


    "It''s me!"


    "It would be perfect if Master Fan Ye could help," Wang Chao couldn''t hide his excitement, "Master, what are your conditions for taking action?"


    "Two billion��I can make the Su Corporation disappear from this world. You know my strength!" Ye Fan looked at Wang Chao indifferently; the price he quoted made Wang Chao gasp in surprise.


    Even though the Wang Family was a wealthy family in Cloud City, the entire Wang Corporation''s worth was only around a hundred billion. Coming up with two billion all at once was indeed challenging.


    "Ah... Mr. Fan, that''s... a bit much..." Wang Chao replied hesitantly.


    Manager Liu from Provincial City had already promised that as long as the Su Corporation was ruined, the Liu Family would let the Wang Family take over all the industries of the Zhao and Su Families, which amounted to more than a hundred billion in assets.


    Compared to those hundred billion assets, this price of two billion indeed seemed insignificant.


    But what if the Liu Family didn''t fulfill their promise?


    "Too much?" Ye Fan''s eyes suddenly turned fierce. Remembering that it was this bastard in front of him who almost killed Su Yixue, anger surged in his heart, "Are you doubting my ability?"


    A powerful aura enveloped the room, and Ye Fan''s piercing gaze made Wang Chao''s heart tremble.


    Wang Chao understood that there was no choice but to do this business that hade knocking on his door.


    The problem now was, Wang Chao didn''t know whether this Master Fan Ye would actually make a move against the Su Corporation after getting the money.


    What if things went wrong and Fan Ye suddenly turned against the Wang Family, leaving them with the same fate as the Zhao Family? That would be disastrous!


    The more Wang Chao thought about it, the more frightened he became. All he wanted now was to leave this ce as quickly as possible.


    Being in the presence of Master Fan Ye, Wang Chao felt extremely ufortable. Moreover, even though Fan Ye''s face seemed unfamiliar to him, Wang Chao had a nagging feeling that he knew the man before him.


    "No, no! Of course, I trust Master Fan Ye''s strength... How about this, I''ll go back immediately and have my family gather the money?" Wang Chao tentatively said to Ye Fan, just as he lifted his foot.


    Whoosh!


    A straw flew out andnded right beside Wang Chao''s foot, nearly scaring him to death, "No need to go back. Start gathering the money now. You have ten minutes, begin!"


    Ye Fan watched Wang Chao coldly, for the man who wanted to kill his wife, how could Ye Fan let him off so easily now that he was here?


    "Ah... This..." Wang Chao wanted to keep arguing, but upon seeing Ye Fan''s terrifying gaze, he immediately dared not say any more. He turned and took out his phone to call his father, "Dad! I''ve encountered the grandmaster level master Fan Ye. He''s agreed to help our Wang Family go against the Su Family, but he wants 2 billion..."


    Wang Chao repeatedly made calls, urging. His father also tried every possible way, even preparing funds through irregr means, borrowing money from here and there. Within ten minutes, they had somehow managed to scrape together 2 billion.


    "Transfer it to this ount!" Ye Fan handed Wang Chao a secure ount prepared in advance by Xia Hao. After a series of operations, Ye Fan received a message from Xia Hao confirming that the money had been deposited.


    Wang Chao finally let out a sigh of relief, "Boss, the money is in ce now! Can I go to the absorption room now?"


    Wang Chao had judged that his 2 billion was likely lost. But even if that was the case, there was nothing he could do about it. He just considered it paying for his life.


    Ye Fan grinned, "What''s the rush? Your matter is settled, now let''s talk about mine!"


    That single sentence immediately unsettled Wang Chao, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.


    What else does this big shot want from him?


    Before Wang Chao''s shocked eyes, Ye Fan ran his hands over his face, kneading it a few times.


    The next moment!


    Ye Fan''s appearance changed, and a very familiar figure materialized before Wang Chao, "Ye Fan, how can you be Ye Fan?"


    At that moment, Wang Chao''s mind raced. He thought about the name Fan Ye for a few seconds.


    Fan Ye? Fan Ye?


    Isn''t it Ye Fan when reversed? Isn''t that a homophone for Ye Fan?


    So, the Grandmaster who moved against the Zhao Family, was really Ye Fan?


    But, wasn''t all the intelligence from the outside world showing that Ye Fan had been foolish for five years?


    "Have you been pretending all along?"


    Pfft!


    Upon realizing the true nature of things, Wang Chao''s legs gave way, and he copsed onto the ground.


    Ye Fan''s monstrous talent was known to everyone. Five years ago, Ye Fan was already at the peak of Martial Arts Grandmasters. After five more years, who knew to what terrifying realm Ye Fan had ascended?


    In front of Ye Fan, Wang Chao stood no chance of escape!


    "Wang Chao, you''ve got guts, haven''t you? To think about killing my wife?" Ye Fan stared contemptuously at Wang Chao, "Now that you''ve acted, you must pay the price! There''s something I want to borrow from you!"


    A leap of fear jolted Wang Chao''s heart. He had already given away 2 billion!


    What could Ye Fan possibly want to borrow from him? Did he have anything worth borrowing in Ye Fan''s eyes?


    "You... what do you want to borrow?" Wang Chao shuddered, his heart already ice-cold.


    "I want to borrow your life!"

 Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Let them fight like dogs!

    As he spoke, Ye Fan took a step forward and grabbed Wang Chao by the neck with one swift move!


    Wang Chao''s feet left the ground, and he looked at Ye Fan with a face filled with terror. "No, please... Young Master Ye, spare me, it wasn''t me who wanted to strike at the Su Corporation! It''s the Liu Family from the Provincial City..."


    "You''re trying to say that Liu Ran from the Provincial City wants to strike at the Su Corporation, huh? Hmph! Rest assured, I will naturally settle ounts with Liu Ran on my own! However, here in Cloud City, you''re the one who struck at Su Yixue, so you must pay the price!" Ye Fan coldly responded to Wang Chao.


    Despairpletely overtook Wang Chao!


    Now he finally understood what must have been the fate of the Zhao Family; he wondered if Zhao Tianlong, when he died at the hands of Ye Fan, had felt this same kind of despair?


    Initially, everyone thought the Zhao Family''s downfall was just a coincidence.


    But now it seemed clear that it was all designed by Ye Fan.


    Any forces or families that were detrimental to the Ye Family or the Su Family would be ruthlessly crushed.


    The key was that after Ye Fan quietly resolved everything,


    to the outside world, Ye Fan was still that fool!


    No, this message must somehow get out; Manager Liu from the Provincial City must be informed.


    His throat too tight to breathe, yet Wang Chao still tried to reach for his phone to alert Liu Ran.


    Bang!


    With a burst of his Martial Arts Qi, Ye Fan effortlessly knocked Wang Chao''s phone away. "Still trying to pull a fast one at this hour?"


    Pfft!


    As the howling Martial Arts Qipletely enveloped Wang Chao, in the blink of an eye, he was reduced to dust and disappeared down the toilet.


    After finishing all this, Ye Fan picked up the phone from the ground and sent a message to Wang Chao''s father, Wang Zhong, "Dad! I''ve been kidnapped,e I rescue me at Central Bridge of Cloud City by 12 o''clock tonight!"


    Having done all this, Ye Fan reverted to an unfamiliar appearance and quickly left the KTV, getting into Xia Hao''s car.


    "Young Master Ye, is it taken care of? Do you need me to do any cleanup?" Xia Hao respectfully asked from the front.


    When Su Yixue was attacked, and Ye Fan came out in such a hurry, it was clear he was going to move against the Wang Family, who were backed by Old Wolf Wu. However, the Wang Family was supported by the Provincial City''s Liu Family, so there could be trouble if Ye Fan moved too hastily.


    "No need," Ye Fan simply said, "Just apany me out tonight for a good show of a dog-eat-dog fight!"


    ...


    At the Cloud City Wang Family residence, the head of the family, Wang Caizhong, received a call from his son, Wang Chao, who said that they had hired Master Fan Ye to deal with the Su Corporation. Initially, he was very excited.


    But then, upon hearing that the other party wanted a fee of two billion to take action, he hesitated.


    However, pressed by Wang Chao''s insistent demands, and it seemed that there was no way out, Wang Zhong finally had to grit his teeth and gather the funds to make the payment.


    And then he waited for news from Wang Chao!


    But when Wang Zhong saw the message on his phone, he was in shock, "What? Kidnapped? Damn it... Who did this, are they mad?"


    Today, the Wang Family was having a very bad day!


    Wang Chao, following orders from the Liu Family, hired Old Wolf Wu to attack Su Yixue. But at the critical moment, the n failed, and Li Hu, led by Xia Hao, intervened in time, saving Su Yixue.


    And now his own son had been kidnapped?


    What in the world was going on?


    "Give my orders right away; all of the Wang Family mobilize, lie in ambush at the Central Bridge of Cloud City. I want to see who dares kidnap my son!"


    ...


    When Ye Fan returned to the hospital with Xia Hao, he brought some fruits, which seemed to be freshly purchased from outside.


    Wang Fugui, Li Hu, and the others did not suspect much!


    As Ye Fan arrived at the hospital room, Su Yixue had also woken up. Seeing Ye Fan gently by her side, a smile appeared on her face.


    It felt great to be alive!


    The way Ye Fan heroically saved her was really too cool!


    "Yixue, my wife, you''re awake? The doctor said you were just exhausted and that you''re okay now. Eat an orange and then let''s go home, okay?" Ye Fan offered the peeled orange to Su Yixue, his face filled with tenderness.


    This woman, once his sister-inw, had willingly married him to protect the Ye Family, to protect him.


    She had also brought a great crisis upon the Su Corporation, keeping herself in constant danger.


    Ye Fan was deeply touched within!


    He might have beenatose before, but now that he had awakened, he would use all his power to protect the Su Family, the Ye Family, and to avenge the fallen souls of the Ye Family.


    "Thank you, Xiao Fan!" After finishing the orange, Su Yixue struggled to get out of bed, shook her head, and said, "I can''t go home yet! Thepany is about tounch a new drug and there''s a lot of work to do. Once I''m done, I''lle back early to be with you, okay?"


    Su Yixue looked tenderly at Ye Fan, and seeing Xia Hao staring in their direction, her face showed a hint of shyness, "Director Xia, Lord Hu, thank you for today''s help!"


    If it weren''t for Ye Fan and Xia Hao, and the timely arrival of Li Hu and others, Su Yixue could have really died there today.


    "There''s no need for thanks, Miss Su! Director Xia owes his life to Young Master Ye, and I would give my life for him. We overlooked your safety, and that''s on us," Xia Hao said respectfully with a bow. "Lord Hu is one of our own. From now on in Cloud City, if Miss Su needs anything, just say the word!"


    Su Yixue also understood that Li Hu was Xia Hao''s man.


    Five years ago, Ye Fan saved Xia Hao, and today he received such a great repayment. That was a silver lining in an unfortunate situation.


    Su Yixue was about to say more when she suddenly received a call from her secretary, "What? Our form has been leaked? A rivalpany has already released a new drug today? How is this possible?"


    "Yes! President Su, turn on the TV; it''s being broadcast live right now!"


    Su Yixue turned on the TV with a look of disbelief, and the broadcast was showing theunch of a new drug.


    Standing on the stage was a young man in a suit, none other than Li Yunyang of the Cloud City Li Family, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill painstakingly developed by the Li Family over many years. It cost us over ten billion in funds. The effects are incredibly wonderful��just one month of use, and the results will be immediately noticeable..."


    "Shameless!"


    Listening to Li Yunyang''s endless speech on stage, and the partial form revealed, Su Yixue couldn''t help but curse, "That''s clearly our Su Corporation''s hard work, those bastards! Damn it!"


    She had no idea how Li Yunyang managed to steal Su Corporation''s core form right under her watch.


    This was utterly devastating!


    The Su Corporation had invested almost all its resources in developing this form, counting on it to turn the tide after itsunch.


    Especially recently, with the Su Corporation facing blockades from many partners, without a leading product to break through, the Su Corporation could very well copse!


    "Director Xia, Young Master Wang, I need to rush back to thepany immediately. Please take care of Xiao Fan for me; I have to go now!" Su Yixue hastily informed Wang Fugui and Xia Hao before hurrying to herpany.


    With such a significant incident urring, Su Yixue naturally had to address it immediately.


    Watching Su Yixue''s anxious departure, Ye Fan murmured to himself, "It''s just the form for the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, right? If you''d told me earlier, I could''ve pulled out any form from my head that would''ve astounded the world, couldn''t I?"


    But if he, a "fool," came out with it, even if it were real, who would believe him?


    How could he convince Su Yixue that his form was genuine?

 Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Back to the Past? No Going Back!

    ```


    Just find someone to give the prescription to Su Yixue, they definitely won''t take it seriously!


    Ye Fan suddenly remembered that Yu Linglong had said she would invite Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue to treat him, but he didn''t know when he woulde!


    Having Lei Qianjue deliver the prescription to Su Yixue, with Lei Qianjue''s stature, should be enough.


    At that time, he could have Lei Qianjue give the prescription to Su Yixue, which should be able to resolve the predicament faced by the Su Corporation.


    Su Yixue had just left when Ye Fan''s phone rang, and it turned out to be from Xuan Yufei.


    "Brother Fan, I know I have wronged you, but can you help me with something?" Xuan Yufei''s state over the phone seemed very bad, her voice even had a sobbing tone.


    Although Xuan Zhengguo had announced the cancetion of the engagement with the Ye Family in front of so many people in such a high-profile manner, deep down, Ye Fan couldn''t bring himself to hate her.


    "Ex-wife, what happened to you? Did someone steal your lollipop? If someone stole your lollipop, I''ll help you steal it back!" Ye Fan responded to the phone naively, as only such a tone would fit his current identity.


    On the other end of the phone, Xuan Yufei felt a pang of heartache.


    Perhaps among all the people around her, everyone was fixated on her identity, status, or beauty, only Ye Fan truly treated her with sincerity.


    "No, it''s much more serious than a stolen lollipop! Brother Fan, do you know? My second uncle has betrothed me to Li Yunyang, tonight is the engagement dinner, but I don''t want to marry!" Xuan Yufei seemed to have found someone to confide in, and poured out her inner frustrations, "Forget it, Brother Fan, where are you now? I''lle to pick you up, let''s talk in person."


    Xuan Zhengguo has betrothed Xuan Yufei to another so quickly?


    And to Li Yunyang?


    Ye Fan let out a cold snort from his nostrils!


    From the current information, the Li, Zhao, and Wang Families are all vassal families of the Liu Family in Provincial City, so the Li Family must have been involved in the extermination campaign against the Ye Family.


    And Xuan Yufei is actually going to marry the enemy of the Ye Family?


    This is something Ye Fan simply cannot ept!


    Moreover, in Ye Fan''s ns, after wiping out the Wang Family, the Li Family is also to be eliminated.


    Since Li Yunyang intends to marry Xuan Yufei, even if she is a woman he no longer wants, that still won''t do; he might as well just move up the n to eliminate them.


    "Yixue is injured, I''m at the People''s Hospital!" Ye Fan tried to make his tone sound as naive as possible, not willing to reveal too much in front of others.


    In the Xuan Family Courtyard, Xuan Yufei hung up the phone and sighed deeply.


    s!


    If only Brother Fan weren''t a fool, how great would that be?


    Back when Brother Fan was still a genius with extraordinary talent, he was so confident and assertive. If anyone dared to harbor thoughts on his wife, would Brother Fan have already jumped up to act by now?


    Twenty minutester, Xuan Yufei drove to the Cloud City People''s Hospital.


    "What? Xuan Yufei, you''ve already broken off the engagement with my big brother, and now you want to use him as a shield? Do you have no humanity?" The first to protest was someone hearing that Xuan Yufei wanted Ye Fan to apany her to the engagement dinner.


    "Are you not satisfied with humiliating my big brother enough, or what are you thinking?" Wang Fugui was very agitated, "Big brother, you mustn''t go!"


    Although Wang Fugui often seemed naive, his protectiveness of Ye Fan was no act and Ye Fan wouldn''t have gone out of his way to fetch that Vitality Pill from the ck market for Wang Fugui otherwise.


    Now that Ye Fan was in a state of idiocy, it was natural for him to step forward and protect Ye Fan with all his might.


    "Brother Fan�� I know what I''m asking for is too much�� but I really don''t want to marry..." Xuan Yufei sounded desperate.


    The engagement with the Li Family was an arrangement by the family, it was her destiny.


    Now that the Li Family was at the height of its power in Cloud City, even if Xuan Yufei wanted to find another shield to act with her, there weren''t many who would offend the Li Family for her sake.


    The only support Xuan Yufei could think of now was Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan had already agreed to Xuan Yufei in his heart when he told her the address, so he naturally wouldn''t refuse, "Not marrying! Not marrying! I''lle help you drive him away..."


    "Big brother!"


    Wang Fugui became anxious when he saw Ye Fan actually agreed to Xuan Yufei, wanting to intervene and stop him.


    Xia Hao, who was nearby and aware of Ye Fan''s capabilities, knew that since Ye Fan had spoken, he must still want to help Xuan Yufei.


    ```


    "Young Master Wang, after all, Young Master Ye and Miss Xuan were together for such a long time. If Young Master Ye wants to go, let''s just apany him!" Xia Hao said to Wang Fugui with a smile, "Besides, isn''t it that we''ll be with him? Nothing will happen to Young Master Ye!"


    "This��" Wang Fugui nced at Xia Hao with some doubt. He felt that something was odd but couldn''t quite put his finger on it at the moment and simply couldn''t be bothered to think more about it.


    A few minutester, Ye Fan was pulled into her car by Xuan Yufei.


    While driving, Xuan Yufei looked at the handsome Ye Fan beside her. He still had that good-looking face; he still had that familiar scent. It''s just...


    "Brother Fan, can we go back to how it was before?" Xuan Yufei''s heart trembled, and she blurted out such a sentence as if possessed.


    Ye Fan was startled by what he heard next to him. Go back to before?


    It was no longer possible!


    In the past, Ye Fan doted on Xuan Yufei almost to the point ofying his heart bare for her, showering her with all sorts of affection.


    But the way the Xuan Family had publicly called off the engagement had hurt him deeply. How could shattered ss ever be whole again?


    "Go back where? Go back to the hospital? But didn''t we just leave the hospital? Why would we go back?" Ye Fan didn''t know how to respond and simply blurted out whatever came to mind.


    Xuan Yufei observed Ye Fan intensely, hoping to discern something from his demeanor.


    Ye Fan hid it very well; although Xuan Yufei''s sixth sense told her that Ye Fan had changed, she still couldn''t find any ws.


    "Brother Fan! I really don''t know if you are actually naive or just pretending to be, but I need to tell you that I''ve always liked you, always loved you. The day the engagement was called off, it wasn''t my intention. My second uncle forced me�� You know about my father�� If there hadn''t been money for his medical treatment, he might have died at any moment�� I had no choice��"


    Toward the end, Xuan Yufei was close to crying!


    Five years ago, around the time Ye Fan was in a car ident, Xuan Yufei''s father had also been in a car crash and became a vegetative. He needed expensive medical treatment.


    Later, although Xuan Yufei took over Xuan Corporation, with her second uncle and a group of elders around, she didn''t have much actual power. That day when the engagement was canceled, her second uncle had said that if Xuan Yufei didn''t agree, they would stop providing medical funds for her father.


    As Ye Fan listened, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He had learned some things about the Xuan Family these past two days.


    However, the silence Xuan Yufei kept that day, the damage it caused to Ye Fan, would take time to heal!


    ...


    In Cloud City''s Paradise Hotel, this was where the engagement party between the Xuan Family and the Li Family was being held.


    At the hotel entrance, Li Yunyang stood in a dashing suit, holding a bouquet of flowers, with several brothers surrounding him.


    "Congrattions, Young Master Li! Finally, your dream hase true!"


    "Indeed! The Xuan Family has finallye to its senses. Breaking off with the Ye Family and choosing Young Master Li is obviously the better choice!"


    "I heard that Young Master Li is about to be taken in as a godson by the head of the Liu Family in Provincial City. That will surely skyrocket his status; Young Master Li, don''t forget about us by then!"


    Amidst everyone''s ttery, Li Yunyang almost felt like he was floating.


    These idiots only saw the surface power of the Xuan Family, not realizing the unimaginable hidden power behind Xuan Yufei''s mother! That was the real reason Li Yunyang had gone to great lengths to win over Xuan Yufei.


    "They''re here!"


    Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone turned toward the street in unison.


    Xuan Yufei''s car slowly stopped, and in Li Yunyang''s eager gaze, a slender, fair leg stepped out from the car.


    Slim and shapely, straight and sleek!


    Thinking that the owner of those beautiful legs would soon be his woman made Li Yunyang''s heart quiver.


    But the scene that followed made the smile on Li Yunyang''s face freeze instantly.


    Xuan Yufei wasn''t alone?


    Instead, she was intimately arm-in-arm with a man, stepping out of the car looking lovingly paired up, heading straight for Li Yunyang!


    What did this mean?


    Today was the engagement party between him and Xuan Yufei, and Xuan Yufei brought a man with her, who happened to be Ye Fan?


    Was this delivering a green hat right to his doorstep?

 Chapter 25: Chapter 25 I Will Not Marry! Ye Fan is My Husband!

    Li Yunyang instantly felt like he had taken a critical hit of ten thousand points!


    "Princess Yu, what''s the meaning of this? Why did you bring this fool here?" Li Yunyang held back the rage in his heart, trying to ask Xuan Yufei as gracefully as possible.


    The buddies around Li Yunyang also stopped theirmotion at this time. The confetti eggs they were ready to crack open were awkwardly held in their hands.


    "Li Yunyang, how can you speak like that? Show some respect to my big brother!" Before Xuan Yufei could say a word, Wang Fugui who was standing beside her spoke up first, "My big brother is called Ye Fan. Either you call him Young Master Ye or Brother Fan! If Laotzu hears you call him a fool again, Laotzu will gift you a tight p!"


    Wang Fugui was already feeling angry inside, and now seeing Li Yunyang about to marry his former sister-inw, he became even more furious.


    At this moment, Wang Fugui also began to understand why Ye Fan had decided to apany Xuan Yufei here.


    In the end, big brother still couldn''t let go, huh!


    "You... Wang Fugui, who do you think you are? Do you think that fool is still the previous Young Master of the Ye Family? Let me tell you, now that the Ye Family has fallen, it won''t be long before that old thing from the Ye Family and this fool will be reuniting with their family members. You''re showing off for what..."


    Smack! Smack!


    Without any hesitation, Wang Fugui stepped forward and delivered two ps to Li Yunyang''s face.


    One on the left and one on the right, Li Yunyang''s face immediately swelled up, and two teeth popped out of his mouth.


    "Don''t you ever learn your lesson? Laotzu told you to show some respect to my big brother. Are my words falling on deaf ears?" Wang Fugui shook his hand, "Damn it, your face is harder than dog shit!"


    "Fuck! Wang Fugui, are you looking for death? How dare you hit me..." Li Yunyang stumbled, rubbing his sore face, and red at Wang Fugui furiously, "Laotzu might not dare to touch the Ye Family, but do you think I wouldn''t dare to touch the Wang Family? Come on, kill him for me!"


    Whoosh!


    With a call from Li Yunyang, arge group of burly bodyguards surged toward them, ready toy hands on Wang Fugui with the weapons they carried.


    "Trash!" Wang Fugui nced at the bodyguards, those ordinary bodyguards who didn''t even possess Martial Arts Qi were nothing in his eyes.


    "Young Master Li, please, stay your anger. Today is your joyous day. Mr. Xia came uninvited, to congratte Young Master Li. Surely Young Master Li wouldn''t be unweing, right?"


    As tensions were rising on both sides, Xia Hao stepped down from the vehicle behind, followed by Li Hu, the godfather of the Cloud City underworld, and his Four Great Vajra.


    This scene made Li Yunyang furrow his brow.


    The Xia Family from Provincial City had arrived, and Lord Hu hade with his men as well. Was Xuan Yufei well-prepared for today?


    But Li Yunyang couldn''t understand how, with the power of the Xuan Family, they could have swayed the Xia Family and Li Hu''s people. Could it be Ye Fan?


    But knowing full well that the Ye Family had fallen and be nothing more than grasshoppers after autumn, why would these people foolishly get closer to the Ye Family?


    "That''s enough! Let''s go in. With guests from both sides present, there are some things I want to rify today!" Xuan Yufei gripped Ye Fan''s hand tightly, her gaze fiery as she nced at the hotel''s main entrance, appearing to have made some sort of firm decision in her heart.


    "You... Xuan Yufei, you better think clearly about what you''re doing!" Li Yunyang looked at Xuan Yufei, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.


    If Xuan Yufei made any disturbance at the banquet today, then the Li Family would lose face big time!


    But remembering the assurance given by Xuan Zhengguo, Li Yunyang felt somewhat relieved.


    Could Xuan Yufei really escape from my grasp?


    Yet, seeing Xuan Yufei holding Ye Fan''s hand so tightly, Li Yunyang felt an inferno of rage within him.


    Where the hell did I lose?


    Can''t I even outdo a fool?


    ��


    On the eighth floor of Paradise Hotel, in the banquet hall that could amodate thousands of people.


    The doors opened, and Xuan Yufei, hand in hand with Ye Fan, stepped into the banquet hall.


    The lively hall suddenly quieted down as everyone stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them.


    After three seconds of silence, people couldn''t help but start whispering to each other.


    "What''s going on here? Isn''t today the engagement party for Xuan Yufei and Li Yunyang? Why is Xuan Yufei bringing that idiot from the Ye Family here? What does she mean by this?"


    "Yeah? I don''t get it either. Didn''t Xuan Yufei announce her breakup with the Ye Family yesterday? Bringing him here now, isn''t that rubbing the Li Family''s face in the dirt?"


    "This is getting interesting. The faces of the higher-ups from both the Xuan Family and the Li Family must be quite something to behold today!"


    Everyone''s gaze shifted to the frontmost table in the hall.


    At that table, Xuan Zhengguo and Li Yunyang''s father, Li Zhong, wereughing and discussing the future coboration between their families. The sudden turn of events brought their conversation to an abrupt halt.


    "Xuan Zhengguo, what is the meaning of this?" Li Zhong said darkly as he looked at Xuan Zhengguo, "Didn''t you say that everything was taken care of? Now with Xuan Yufei bringing that fool from the Ye Family here, isn''t this a p in the face for the Li Family?"


    Xuan Zhengguo looked just as bewildered, "I have no idea what''s going on either."


    With thousands of guests at the venue, all distinguished figures in Cloud City, Xuan Zhengguo had just represented the Xuan Family in breaking off the engagement with the Ye Family yesterday. And now, Xuan Yufei had appeared paired up with that fool from the Ye Family. Was he not keeping his word?


    "Princess Yu, what are you doing?" Xuan Zhengguo hissed at Xuan Yufei as she walked past him.


    But Xuan Yufei simply turned to nce at Xuan Zhengguo then continued to walk toward the stage, holding onto Ye Fan''s arm.


    "Ladies and gentlemen! I am Xuan Yufei. With so many witnesses here today, I want to announce that yesterday''s breakup with the Ye Family was only my uncle''s decision��I never agreed!" Xuan Yufei said on stage as she took the microphone from the emcee and, smiling, raised Ye Fan''s arm high, "Ye Fan and I have been engaged since childhood and grew up together as childhood sweethearts. My husband will always be Brother Fan. Please bless us!"


    Snort!


    Li Yunyang, who had followed in behind, felt as if his heart had been viciously stabbed upon hearing Xuan Yufei''s words.


    Blessings?


    Blessings my ass!


    Today is my engagement party, and you want me to bless you? What am I then, a cuckold?


    At that moment, Li Yunyang felt an immense humiliation!


    Humiliation opened its door for humiliation toe home to.


    "What are you all standing there for? Shut off the microphone already!" Li Yunyang, looking at the bewildered staff members, could not contain his fury and furiously scolded them!


    Whoosh!


    Xuan Yufei''s wordsnded like a boulder thrown into ake, causing an uproar at the venue!


    "Holy shit! Is this for real? The Xuan Family''s second son broke off an engagement yesterday, and today Xuan Yufei is loudly dering the breakup invalid?"


    "It''s not that simple! There''s clearly a problem within the Xuan Family��the car ident involving the Xuan Family''s eldest son definitely wasn''t straightforward!"


    "At the Li Family''s engagement party, the future bride is showing off her love with another man. The Li Family has lost all face today!"


    After themotion among the crowd, all eyes turned toward the first table!


    ng!


    Li Zhong could no longer restrain himself, smashed his wine ss onto the table, and shouted at Xuan Zhengguo, "Xuan Zhengguo, is your Xuan Family intentionally causing a scene here? Give me a reasonable exnation, or this matter won''t end well!"


    The venue instantly quieted down, all eyes fixed on this confrontation!


    The atmosphere on the scene began to freeze!


    This engagement party seemed simple, but in reality, it had entangled the Ye Family, Xuan Family, and Li Family, all of which could fall into dire straits with the slightest misstep...

 Chapter 26: Chapter 26: The Gatling Gun Emits Blue Flames

    Watching the scene spiral out of control, Xuan Zhengguo was also close to going mad with anger at this point!


    "Brother Li, don''t be angry, there must be some misunderstanding! Please wait, I''ll go handle it!" Xuan Zhengguo hurriedly greeted Li Zhong, then quickly walked towards Xuan Yufei!


    Didn''t they agree on everything yesterday?


    In front of so many people, they publicly announced the annulment of the engagement with the Ye Family, and now Xuan Yufei was dering her own annulment invalid.


    Wasn''t that akin to spitting out saliva and then swallowing it back again?


    "Princess Yu? Do you know what you''re doing?" Xuan Zhengguo strode onto the stage, staring at Xuan Yufei furiously, "By doing this, do you realize you could drag the Xuan Family into a cmity from which there is no return?


    Xuan Yufei, still holding Ye Fan''s hand, didn''t let go. She red back at Xuan Zhengguo and said, "Uncle, I am already an adult! I am very clear about what I''m doing. I just want to follow my heart and make the right choice!"


    "The annulment with Ye Fan yesterday was against my will, it was you who forced me! And today you want me to marry Li Yunyang, that''s something I will absolutely not agree to!"


    "You..." Xuan Zhengguo, so angry he swung his palm, was about to hit Xuan Yufei, but he held back in the end and continued to plead, "But, Princess Yu, don''t you see? Ye Fan has be an imbecile... he''s not the same genius he was before! And now that the Ye Family has fallen, there are very powerful enemies targeting them, can''t you see that?"


    "So what? An imbecile, so what? He''s still a thousand times better than the vile Li Yunyang!" Xuan Yufei nced at Ye Fan beside her, her eyes brimming with tenderness.


    Ye Fan could feel Xuan Yufei''s emotional changes and was also feeling quiteplicated.


    This silly girl, had she already made up her mind when she insisted on bringing me here?


    Going against the wishes of the family, and to make such a "heinous" deration of her feelings for me during Li Yunyang''s engagement party.


    Xuan Yufei indeed mustered immense courage and bore a lot on her own.


    Was she trying to make up for the hurt she caused me?


    But, what did Xuan Yufei do yesterday?


    Sigh!


    Xuan Yufei''s voice was not loud, but Li Yunyang, who had just approached, happened to hear her words clearly, and was once again struck as if by a devastating blow.


    Damn it!


    How am I vile and hypocritical? What in the hell did I do wrong?


    "Even if Brother Fan is an imbecile, I''m willing to stand by him! That''s my choice... Uncle, if you want to form an alliance with the Li Family, find someone else to marry him!" With that said, Xuan Yufei, holding Ye Fan''s hand, prepared to leave the venue.


    Whoosh!


    In an instant, numerous bodyguards and brawny men surged from around the stage, encircling Ye Fan and Xuan Yufei.


    "Hold it! Do you think this is your vegetable garden? Come and go as you please?" Li Yunyang walked out from behind the bodyguards, his gaze coldly fixed on Ye Fan and Xuan Yufei, "Xuan Yufei, I really don''t know if you''ve lost your mind, insisting on following an idiot..."


    No sooner had he spoken these words than Li Yunyang felt his buttocks clench.


    Earlier, outside the main gate, Li Yunyang was already dealt with by Wang Fugui.


    Wang Fugui had warned that if he dared insult Ye Fan as an imbecile again, for every insult, he would receive a p.


    But now, with so many bodyguards around him, Wang Fugui shouldn''t be able toy a hand on him, right?


    Li Yunyang quickly covered his face, then looked left and right. Not seeing Wang Fugui, he reassured himself and took his hands away.


    Smack!


    But the next moment, arge hand suddenly reached out from behind and pped Li Yunyang''s face.


    Li Yunyang''s face was once again solidly struck by a p.


    "Li Yunyang, do you really have no memory? I''ve said before that if you dare to insult my big brother again, for each insult, Laotzu will smack you once!" Wang Fugui leaped onto a table, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "Not just Li Yunyang, I don''t want to hear any of you ever again calling my big brother an idiot!"


    "Holy shit! You bastard..."


    Li Yunyang hadpletely lost his mind. Just now, outside, he had endured being identally ambushed, but now, inside the banquet hall, surrounded by his bodyguards, he had still been hit. And it wasn''t just about losing face��it was about disgracing the entire Li Family and his godfather, Liu Ran, in front of so many guests.


    Li Zhong at his side couldn''t sit still either. "Wang Fugui! Even your father has to speak to me with respect, what the hell are you? Someonee, teach him a lesson for his parents!"


    With a wave of his hand, Li Zhong called forth more martial arts experts, many of whom were masters of martial arts.


    The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense!


    A major fight seemed about to break out!


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Li Hu, holding a bottle of wine, knocked it on the table a few times. "What''s this? What''s this? Can''t we have a civilized discussion without resorting to violence? Those not afraid of dying can give it a try... "


    Li Hu, the underground godfather of Cloud City, didn''t raise his voice, but his words carried significant weight in Cloud City.


    The agitated bodyguards on the scene immediately began to quiet down.


    On one hand, it was naturally the pressure from Li Hu.


    On the other hand...


    What the hell!


    Behind Li Hu, a bare-chested strong man had actually brought out a Gatling gun spitting blue mes. A circle of dark muzzles aimed at Li Yunyang, Li Zhong, and the others.


    Is there now anymore? No justice?


    Below the grandmaster level martial arts experts, as well as ordinary people, none were unafraid of bullets!


    Could Li Hu be so arrogant? Bringing a Gatling gun with him!


    Li Yunyang, Li Zhong, and the others were stunned, not daring to move an inch!


    "Can we talk properly now?" Li Hu''s calm voice broke the silence, and Li Zhong couldn''t help but wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.


    The underground godfather of Cloud City, Li Hu, seemed to have be entangled with Ye Fan.


    With this development, even with Liu Ran''s support, the Li Family was facing some trouble in Cloud City.


    Xuan Yufei was also taken aback by the scene before her.


    She had just heard about Su Yixue being hunted down. It was said that Li Hu and the Governor of Cloud City had intervened to rescue Su Yixue, and Old Wolf Wu had been wiped out.


    These influential figures, who could shake Cloud City with a stomp of their feet, why would they help Su Yixue?


    It could only be for the sake of Ye Fan, but did Ye Fan really have that much clout?


    She hoped for a good oue for herself in the future!


    Li Zhong and Li Yunyang didn''t dare to make another move, as Xuan Yufei, arm in arm with Ye Fan, prepared to leave the hall.


    But Xuan Zhengguo suddenly spoke up, "Wait! Princess Yu, you should look at your father''s condition in the hospital before you make your final decision."


    As he spoke, Xuan Zhengguo dialed the video call on his phone and handed it to Xuan Yufei.


    In the video, Xuan Yufei''s father, Xuan Zhenghua,y on a hospital bed, and beside him, a middle-aged man in a whiteb coat held a syringe filled with a green liquid, its tip pointed at Xuan Zhenghua''s neck, ready to inject at any moment!


    "Uncle, what are you doing?" Xuan Yufei''s face changed dramatically when she saw the scene before her, and she angrily stared at Xuan Zhengguo.


    Xuan Zhengguo''s mouth twitched as he spoke softly, "Princess Yu, you''ve forced your uncle''s hand! What the doctor has prepared there isn''t anything else��just arsenic or the like, enough to ensure your father never wakes up again... If you dare take one step out of this hall today, think carefully about the consequences..."

 Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Trash, Do You Only Dare to Hide Behind a Woman?

    Threat!


    Naked threat!


    "Xuan Zhengguo, are you... are you even human? That''s your own older brother lying in bed��" Xuan Yufei stared at Xuan Zhengguo with fiery anger in her eyes, utterly unable to believe that her seemingly kind uncle couldmit such an act.


    "Hmph! So what?" Xuan Zhengguo hadpletely torn off any pretense with Xuan Yufei at this point, "Frankly! If you had obediently married Young Master Li, I wouldn''t have needed to go this far, but you insisted on causing such a fuss. Don''t me me! Why did the old man hand over the Xuan Corporation to your father at that time? Why should your main family be in control of the Xuan Corporation? Today, it''s finally my turn!"


    "You have 10 seconds to reconsider, to take back what you just said and marry Young Master Li obediently, or else��"


    Xuan Zhengguo didn''t finish his sentence, but the oue was all too clear.


    Despicable!


    Using Xuan Yufei''s father against her, it was clear Xuan Zhengguo had everything nned from the start.


    Ye Fan watched Xuan Zhengguo coldly, then nced at Xuan Yufei, his attitude towards her changing slightly.


    So, everything was Xuan Zhengguo''s doing?


    "You�� shameless��" Xuan Yufei, full of rage and stomping her feet on the ground, looked at Ye Fan with a trace of sorrow.


    Xuan Yufei had thought that her defiance today would give her a chance to be with Ye Fan.


    And just when it looked like she might seed, this was the result.


    "Brother Fan, I��"


    Xuan Yufei was in a great internal struggle!


    Deep down, she had never given up on Ye Fan. Even during the five years Ye Fan was senseless, Xuan Yufei would often keep himpany. It showed just how important Ye Fan was to her!


    Yet after giving birth to her, Xuan Yufei''s mother left, and her father raised her all by himself. She couldn''t possibly ignore her father''s kindness.


    The conflict between love and family, a timeless conundrum!


    The standoff started again, and the guests in the hall, because they were too far away, could neither hear the conversation on the stage nor see what was happening.


    All they saw were the bodyguards of the Li Family and Lord Hu''s men facing off, unable to get any closer.


    The crowd began whispering and discussing among themselves.


    On the stage, Li Yunyang and Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xuan Yufei under Xuan Zhengguo''s control.


    Li Yunyang''s pursuit of Xuan Yufei was not for love but to lock in the alliance through marriage, coveting the power behind her mother''s family. Thus, no matter the means used, as long as he could have Xuan Yufei, that was enough.


    "Hmph! Ye Fan, you fool, you trash, do you really harbor delusional hopes of being with Princess Yu? Dream on!" Li Yunyang swaggered over to Ye Fan, "Damn it, just for cursing at you and actually getting hit, I absolutely need to hit back."


    Wang Fugui was skilled in martial arts, so Li Yunyang couldn''t make a move.


    But after Ye Fan became senseless, he lost all his martial arts abilities. And now that Xuan Yufei was under Xuan Zhengguo''s control, this was Li Yunyang''s chance to breathe out his spite.


    "You dare!" Xuan Yufei sprang up in front of Ye Fan as she saw Li Yunyang make a move, "Li Yunyang, this is a matter between my Xuan Family and your Li Family. You have the gall to touch a hair on Ye Fan, just try it!"


    Li Yunyang didn''t take Xuan Yufei''s threat seriously at all.


    "Haha! Is it just a matter between the Xuan Family and the Li Family? Xuan Yufei, you''re thinking too simply. Bringing this moron here today, you''ve already dragged the Ye Family back into this! Of course, even if he hadn''te today, he would be reuniting with his brothers soon enough!" Li Yunyang sneered, sidestepping Xuan Yufei and staring at Ye Fan, "Trash, can you only hide behind a woman?"


    Li Yunyang was too caught up in his own tirade to notice Ye Fan''s eyes darkening by the minute.


    From Li Yunyang''s incessant words, Ye Fan had already figured out that even if he didn''t attack Li Yunyang today, the Li Family seemed to have ns to make a move against the Ye Family.


    Were the Ye Family''s opponents so impatient?


    Not only had they killed the ten core disciples of the Ye Family, but they also wanted topletely exterminate thest elder and the idiot?


    If that was the case, there was no need for courtesy!


    "How dare you!" Xia Hao, Li Hu, and others saw Li Yunyang trying to make a move on Ye Fan, and they all rebuked him, wanting to rush over.


    But Ye Fan secretly gestured to Xia Hao with his eyes!


    This time, Ye Fan wanted to take action himself!


    He wanted to kill Li Yunyang on the spot!


    It was a deterrent to the Li Family, and also a warning for those behind the Li Family to restrain themselves a bit.


    "Is Young Master Li taking me to my brother? Young Master Li is a good person, a really good person!" Xuan Yufei continued to block Li Yunyang for Ye Fan, but Ye Fan pped his hands and charged out from behind Princess Yu.


    "Brother Fan��" Princess Yu''s face was bitter as she tried to reach out and pull Ye Fan back. How could Li Yunyang be so kind as to take you to your brother? He''s trying to kill you!


    "Hmph! Idiot,e here and stand properly!" Li Yunyang saw Ye Fan foolishly presenting himself and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After telling Ye Fan to stand properly, he swung his palm and fiercely pped it towards Ye Fan''s face.


    "Bastard, how dare you!" Wang Fugui was the most enraged, his ankles flexing as he prepared to rush forward and fight.


    "Young Master Wang, don''t be hasty!" Xia Hao quickly reached out and held Wang Fugui back.


    Wang Fugui, with his straightforward thinking, was getting angry seeing Xia Hao obstructing him time and time again. "What do you mean, Xia Hao? What ''don''t be hasty''? I can see Brother is about to be hit; how can I not be hasty? Are you in cahoots with Li Yunyang?"


    "��" Xia Hao was speechless and couldn''t bother to exin. "Wait and see, Young Master Wang. You have to trust your Brother!"


    Rolling his eyes, Xia Hao finally understood why Ye Fan didn''t tell him, his most loyal brother, that he had awakened.


    Looking at Wang Fugui''s naive appearance, if he knew that Ye Fan had awakened, probably the whole country would know in no time.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yunyang''s palm cut through the air, causing a whooshing sound.


    Li Zhong''s mouth twitched, feeling somewhat relieved; his gaze involuntarily shifted towards Wang Fugui, thinking that at least he could regain face through Ye Fan after his son was pped by Wang Fugui.


    But to Li Zhong''s surprise, the expected crisp sound of a p didn''t ur.


    The p Li Yunyang had sent out was easily dodged by Ye Fan with a tilt of his head, and furthermore, Ye Fan had reached out and grabbed Li Yunyang''s wrist, asking curiously, "Young Master Li, are you trying to swat a mosquito for me? There''s no mosquito on my face, you know?"


    As Ye Fan spoke, a silver needle shot rapidly towards Li Yunyang''s wrist from his sleeve.


    This thrust held nothing back. The silver needle, carrying a powerful Qi Force, struck Li Yunyang''s meridians, his internal organs, and even utilized the power of Heritage Corruption.


    Sigh!


    Princess Yu, Li Hu, and other clueless onlookers couldn''t help but sigh deeply in their hearts. Who was trying to swat a mosquito for you? He was trying to p you!


    "I... ah, fuck... what are you doing?" Li Yunyang was about to exin when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and an electric shock sensation that nearly made him copse!


    Ye Fan quickly released Li Yunyang''s wrist, with an innocent look on his face, "I... I didn''t do anything? Maybe a mosquito bit you?"

 Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Revenge Never Sleeps!

    I don''t believe you for a second!


    Li Yunyang withdrew his arm, looked at a small red bump on it, and instantly felt very ufortable in his body, as if even his breathing became difficult, while inside his body it felt like some force was twisting his innards and veins.


    Ye Fan must have done something to me!


    But with Ye Fan''s dumbfounded look and clear eyes, anyone would think Ye Fan was a fool, how could he possibly do anything to Li Yunyang?


    "Ye Fan, I''m going to kill you!" Li Yunyang wanted to continue attacking Ye Fan, but Li Zhong hastily scolded, "Yunyang, stop! Today is the day of your engagement, don''t dirty your hands!"


    As Li Zhong spoke, he shifted his gaze towards Xuan Zhengguo.


    Xuan Zhengguo had also reacted by now, staring intensely at Xuan Yufei and saying, "Ten seconds are up, make your decision!"


    "3, 2, 1..."


    "I will marry!" When Xuan Zhengguo counted down to 1, Xuan Yufei said with a sob in her voice, "I will marry, please don''t hurt my father!"


    Xuan Zhengguo, satisfied, hung up the video call on his phone, "Why couldn''t you have done this earlier? Come on, give her the microphone, let her exin everything clearly to all the guests!"


    Signaling to Li Yunyang and others, a microphone was quickly passed to Xuan Yufei.


    Xuan Yufei looked despairingly at Ye Fan, her tears smearing her makeup, "Brother Fan! I''m sorry, I had no choice..."


    Xuan Yufei silently swallowed her tears. She and Ye Fan, were they destined to be star-crossed?


    "You can go now!" Xuan Yufei bowed slightly towards Ye Fan, then gave a deep bow to Xia Hao, Li Hu, Wang Fugui, and the others, "Thank you!"


    These people hade today with the intention of helping Ye Fan carry out a wedding heist.


    Indeed, Li Hu''s men had managed to take control of the scene, but something had gone wrong on Xuan Yufei''s end, and she had backed out halfway through.


    Having said this, Xuan Yufei took the microphone and walked towards the front of the stage.


    Xia Hao turned his gaze to Ye Fan, waiting to see what he wanted to do.


    Ye Fan''s facial muscles twitched, "He''s sick! Young Master Li is sick... unable to find a wife... haha..."


    "You''re the sick one, your whole family is sick!" Li Yunyang was angered by Ye Fan''s words and, seeing that Ye Fan and his friends were still in the hall, scolded his bodyguards, "What are you still staring at? Kick them out! We don''t wee them here!"


    Before the bodyguards could act, Ye Fan had already started walking outside, "Boring! Someone''s going to die, someone''s definitely going to die!"


    No one paid attention to Ye Fan''s words!


    Only Xia Hao''s eyelids twitched violently, andbining his previous experiences, he was now certain that the Li Family was about to face disaster.


    Wang Fugui was still indignant, "Big brother, are we just going to let things slide today? It''s obvious that Sister-inw Yu was coerced. Just say the word, brother, and I will help you take her back!"


    Ye Fan did not respond, only gave a sillyugh, leaving Wang Fugui at a loss for words.


    Xia Hao hurriedly exined to the side, "Young Master Wang, didn''t I tell you not to rush? Maybe the Li Family''s engagement dinner won''t be able to proceed today?"


    "You still say not to rush, not to hurry, when things have already turned out like this? How can I not be anxious?"


    While the two were arguing, on the stage, Xuan Yufei had already picked up the microphone and began speaking to the crowd, "Everyone! I''m sorry, I lost myposure earlier, I was talking nonsense because I was drunk! Today is the engagement banquet of Li Yunyang and me; wee and thank you for attending!"


    Xuan Yufei was saying this, but her eyes remained fixed on Ye Fan''s retreating figure.


    Xuan Yufei knew that from the moment Ye Fan crossed the threshold of the banquet hall''s doors today, there would be no more possibilities between them.


    They would be worlds apart, each living their own life.


    Despite being filled with helplessness, Xuan Yufei had no solution.


    "That''s right! Princess Yu was drunk and said some inappropriate things earlier. Please don''t mind that, everyone! Let''s continue our engagement banquet... Please wee tonight''s protagonist, Young Master Li Yunyang, to make his dazzling entrance!" Xuan Zhengguo was always a sycophant, enthusiastically helping to smooth things over.


    "Big brother, say something, I really can''t stand this! Just give the word, and Old Wang will definitely beat that bastard so bad he''d spend the rest of his life lying in bed..."


    Wang Fugui, who was about to leave the banquet hall, was almost driven mad.


    However, Ye Fan still had a dumbfounded look on his face, counting on his fingers, "3, 2, 1��"


    Just as Ye Fan finished hisst count, Li Yunyang, who had just picked up the microphone on the stage, suddenly fell straight down.


    His body convulsed violently, frothing at the mouth, and blood began to flow from all seven orifices.


    "Ah! Yunyang, what''s wrong with you? Somebodye quickly!"


    "Hurry, call an ambnce!"


    The scene instantly turned into chaos, and the guests below were also stirred up.


    Xia Hao breathed a sigh of relief and looked deeply at Ye Fan.


    The Young Master Ye before him was someone who always sought revenge.


    Luckily, he hadn''t made an enemy of him!


    The ident on stage caused Wang Fugui''s eyes to widen with excitement, but he was also incredibly shocked. "Holy shit! Did he really copse? Is he really sick... Big Brother, you are truly amazing..."


    Before he could finish, Wang Fugui looked doubtfully at Xia Hao and said, "Director Xia, did you already know the oue? You must be hiding something from me, right?"


    "My brother has already woken up? Big Brother, is that right!"


    Wang Fugui encircled Ye Fan with excitement, turning around him several times and, thinking back to Ye Fan''s previous words, it seemed like everything was under Ye Fan''s control.


    That familiar feeling came back again!


    Five years ago, when Ye Fan was not in his foolish state, he was always the one in control whenever something happened outside.


    "1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1�� 1234567, 7+8�� 8+7��" When Wang Fugui looked at Ye Fan with full expectation, Ye Fan began to chant the numeral nursery rhyme again, "Old Wang, what waking up or not waking up? I wasn''t asleep!"


    "��" Ye Fan''s words suddenly deted Wang Fugui. So he was just overthinking it?


    Ye Fan looked at Wang Fugui, the corner of his mouth twitching!


    With that silly big guy, even if I had woken up, I wouldn''t dare to tell you!


    Today was supposed to be Li Yunyang''s joyous engagement party, but from the start, things did not go smoothly. Princess Yu brought in Ye Fan, and just when Xuan Zhengguo finally had a hold on Princess Yu and the engagement party continued, suddenly Li Yunyang copsed right there.


    While everyone was calling for an ambnce, Li Zhong stepped forward to check on Li Yunyang''s breathing, his heart already half cold.


    Li Yunyang was already�� not breathing��


    Just within a few seconds, Li Yunyang died?


    Princess Yu stood on the stage, looking dazed at everything in front of her, as if it all felt so unreal.


    Li Yunyang just died like that?


    Doesn''t that mean she doesn''t have to marry anymore?


    Princess Yu''s gaze swept around the hall, searching for Ye Fan''s figure, finally spotting him at the doorway, about to leave!


    When Princess Yu looked at Ye Fan, he just happened to be looking at Princess Yu.


    In his eyes, full of vivid expression, Princess Yu seemed to see the demonically talented, extraordinary young man returning!


    In a daze, Princess Yu even saw Ye Fan gesture an ''OK'' sign to her!


    This�� Did Ye Fan scheme all this?


    Was Li Yunyang''s death deliberately orchestrated by Ye Fan?


    So is Ye Fan really foolish or just pretending to be?

 Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Youre so nice its a bit too much, watch out or I might hammer you!

    The scene was in utter chaos; no one paid attention to Ye Fan and the others as they left!


    Nor did anyone care about Xuan Yufei and Xuan Zhengguo any longer!


    "Let''s go," said Xuan Zhengguo, somewhat dispirited. He had originally nned to marry off Princess Yu to Li Yunyang so as to coborate with the Li Family, allowing Xuan Zhengguo to gain control of the Xuan Family more quickly and securely, and even to cling to the Provincial City''s Liu Family.


    Although Xuan Zhengguo held not insignificant prestige within the Xiao Xuan''s Home, he could interfere in many of Xuan Yufei''s affairs. However, this line, appointed personally by the old master, was not something Xuan Zhengguo could straightforwardly overpower, as he stillcked sufficient strength.


    And now, at the engagement scene, Li Yunyang had died on the spot.


    The engagement naturally ended there and then, and with the death of Li Zhong''s only son, this matter was far from over. Whether Li Zhong woulde after Xuan Zhengguo for trouble remained uncertain.


    "Hmph!" Xuan Yufei snorted coldly at Xuan Zhengguo and, without giving her uncle another nce, she swiftly walked out of the hall.


    The events of today hadpletely torn the fa?ade between Xuan Zhengguo and Xuan Yufei.


    The current situation was no longer just about Xuan Zhengguo refusing to pay for Xuan Yufei''s father''s medical expenses; it was essentially Xuan Zhengguo restricting the movements of Xuan Yufei''s father.


    Thus, what Xuan Yufei now considered was to swiftly get her father out of the hospital arranged by her uncle.


    Rushing out of the hall, Xuan Yufei chased all the way to the downstairs but didn''t see any sign of Ye Fan.


    ...


    Ye Fan, Xia Hao, Wang Fugui, and others left in their car.


    It was still early, and Su Yixue was busy withpany matters. Ye Fan suddenly thought of the incident where Xuan Zhengguo ckmailed Xuan Yufei with her father''s situation and decided to help Xuan Yufei eliminate this hidden danger.


    But that guy Wang Fugui had been sticking close to Ye Fan since they left the hotel, and Ye Fan found no opportunity to speak to Xia Hao.


    "Elder brother, are you ''awake'' now? Just tell me; I swear I won''t tell anyone else!"


    Wang Fugui stared intently at Ye Fan; this was already his thirtieth time asking Ye Fan.


    "Old Wang, why do you keep asking me if I''m ''awake''? It''s still daytime; I haven''t even been sleeping! It''s so hot; can you keep your distance?" Ye Fan said, somewhat speechless. His simple-minded brother, although not the brightest, was actually not dumb.


    After so many coincidences urred, he finally noticed something was amiss!


    Taking advantage of the moment Wang Fugui moved aside, Ye Fan secretly sent a message to Xia Hao. After reading the message, Xia Hao quickly instructed Li Hu to investigate the Xuan Family, and news came back swiftly.


    "Turn around! To The Third People''s Hospital!" Xia Haomanded the driver upfront.


    Wang Fugui looked curious, "Director Xia, it''s about to get dark; shouldn''t we be heading home? What are we doing at The Third People''s Hospital?"


    Xia Hao nced at Ye Fan with a sense of helplessness. He certainly couldn''t say that Young Master Ye was going to save his former father-inw, right?


    So he had no choice but to respond reluctantly, "Oh! Didn''t we see Miss Xuan''s father in the hospital earlier? We might as well pay a visit and see if we can be of any help!"


    "Is that it?" Wang Fugui rubbed his head, puzzled, "Director Xia, aren''t you being a bit too nice? Be careful or I might have to punch you, you know?"


    Wang Fugui, the simpleton, couldn''t help but feel that the air was filled with a strange vibe.


    A provincial city''s super tycoon, a wealthy magnate dominating the Southwestern Region, following a fool around without any apparent reason?


    Just because Ye Fan saved his life five years ago, he''s been helping Ye Fan from all directions, sparing no expense? Aside from helping Su Yixue, he was even helping Xuan Yufei, and now he''s even going to help Xuan Yufei''s father?


    However, Wang Fugui''s dense head couldn''t make sense of it all just yet!


    And by the time he did figure it out, Ye Fan would probably have already made a high-profileeback.


    "Don''t worry! You''ve been by my side all along, and you know I mean no harm to Young Master Ye!" Xia Hao said to Wang Fugui, his expression a mixture ofughter and tears.


    Li Hu, the underworld godfather of Cloud City who followed in the car, was obviously much smarter than Wang Fugui.


    When Xia Hao suddenly decided to trace Xuan Zhenghua''s whereabouts and visit him at the hospital, Wang Meng, one of the Four Great Vajra who apanied Li Hu, couldn''t understand, "Lord Hu, what''s with our big boss behind the scenes? Is he full and got nothing better to do? Running around a fool every day, what''s he after?"


    "Shut up! Don''t speak nonsense. The boss''s arrangements have their reasons. Just follow instructions!" Li Hu harshly scolded Wang Meng, then continued, "Also! I warn you, from now on, show enough respect to Young Master Ye, whether in person or behind his back, always address him as Young Master Ye, understand?"


    "If I ever hear you calling Young Master Ye a fool again, I''ll cut out your tongues!"


    From Xia Hao taking Ye Fan out to dinner, to Ye Fan exhibiting his powers when saving Su Yixue during a crisis, to the sudden death of Li Yunyang.


    Linking all these events together, Li Hu already had a vague guess in his heart.


    Perhaps, the demonic prodigy of the Ye Family has already awakened like a dragon reborn!


    Otherwise, how could the Zhao Family be annihted? How could Li Yunyang''s death be such a coincidence?


    And moreover, behind the scenes, Xia Hao dominated the Southwestern Region, such a brilliant man. Even if Ye Fan did indeed save his life, cooperation with the Su Family was already enough to repay the favor. Was there a need to continue to fawn over him like this?


    Thinking back to five years ago, when Ye Fan was at the peak of his monstrous talent.


    A me flickered in Li Hu''s eyes. As long as he diligently did his work and received even a slight favor from Young Master Ye, he would be set for life.


    And indeed, Li Hu''s decision proved to be absolutely correct!


    For years afterwards, Li Hu would boast to his children and grandchildren about how wise he had been back in the day...


    As Ye Fan, Xia Hao, Li Hu and others were rushing toward The Third People''s Hospital, Xuan Zhengguo was hurriedly ordering his subordinates, "Quick! Notify the hospital immediately, Xuan Zhenghua needs to be moved away!"


    Xuan Zhengguo had nowpletely burned bridges with Xuan Yufei!


    A confrontation over the control of Xuan Corporation was inevitable between them.


    And Xuan Zhenghua was a card in Xuan Zhengguo''s hand, one he wouldn''t let go of until he securedplete control over Xuan Corporation.


    ...


    As Ye Fan and Xia Hao were nearly at the hospital, they received a report from Li Hu''s subordinate, "Director Xia, the hospital seems to have noticed something. They''re processing the transfer paperwork and nning to move away!"


    "Hold them off!"


    As Xia Hao was responding, he couldn''t help but nce at Ye Fan.


    Is this the talent of a demonically gifted prodigy?


    Always one step ahead in foretelling events!


    If Ye Fan and the others had acted a littleter, or waited for Princess Yu to act, it might have been toote.


    By the time Ye Fan and Xia Hao reached outside of the special care ward, room 306, Li Hu''s men and those arranged by Xuan Zhengguo were in a standoff.


    "Sorry! Without Director Xuan''s orders, we can''t let you take Xuan Zhenghua away!"


    Bang bang!


    "Your orders, my ass! You dare to mess with my big brother''s father-inw? You''re asking for it!"


    Wang Fugui now also understood the purpose of some peopleing here; without any hesitation, he directly punched and burst the opponents, guarding Ye Fan as they moved toward the hospital room...

 Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Military Steps In?

    Xia Hao and Li Hu exchanged nces, both feeling somewhat helpless!


    This Wang Fugui, he''s really a tiger.


    The bodyguards who had been sent flying, enduring the intense pain in their bodies, dialed Xuan Zhengguo''s phone, "Second Master, things aren''t looking good! Director Xia and Lord Hu have brought troops to snatch people, and they''ve already gone into the ward!"


    On the other end of the phone, Xuan Zhengguo, who was rushing towards the hospital, had a dark expression on his face, "Hmph! Those pesky nuisances, Ye Fan is already a fool, yet still has the nerve to run around recklessly, oblivious to life and death!"


    "Don''t worry, I''ve already called the Military Department, their people are on their way!"


    Ye Fan entered the ward, and Xia Hao very tactfully sent Wang Fugui and Li Hu, as well as all the patients in the room, out, leaving only Ye Fan.


    Wang Fugui immediately became unhappy, "Director Xia, what else are you hiding from me? Don''t you trust me to keep my mouth shut?"


    Xia Hao gave Wang Fugui an annoyed look, Trust your mouth? I''d sooner believe in ghosts!


    Seeing that Xia Hao couldn''t persuade Wang Fugui, Ye Fan had no choice but to speak up himself, "Old Wang... I need to check his body, to help him catch the ''insect,'' could you please step out? It''s embarrassing!"


    Wang Fugui wouldn''t listen to anyone else, but when it came to Ye Fan, he would listen no matter if it was right or wrong.


    "Alright! Big Brother, I''ll be right outside, if you need anything, just call me!"


    After Wang Fugui left, Xia Hao respectfully closed the room door, then stood guard at the entrance.


    Without any hesitation, Ye Fan quickly felt Xuan Zhenghua''s pulse and examined his eyelids.


    After only a couple of nces, Ye Fan immediately understood, "He''s been poisoned with seventeen different toxins, how ruthless!"


    Actually, there was nothing fundamentally wrong with Xuan Zhenghua''s body.


    The car ident years ago only resulted in some external injuries, Xuan Zhenghua should have already woken up by now. The reason he had been in aa for so long was that someone had injected seventeen different toxins into his body, and they werebined toxins at that.


    Such toxins, with even a slight error in the order of detoxifying, would be enough to kill Xuan Zhenghua.


    Xuan Zhengguo, his own younger brother, really went to great lengths to deal with his elder brother.


    Ye Fan sneered coldly, if others encountered such a situation, they would not even be able to detect it, let alone resolve it.


    But the inheritance Ye Fan acquired from the dragon-patterned ring far surpassed what an ordinary person couldprehend.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    With no hesitation, Ye Fan swiftly maneuvered the silver needle in his hand, directing it towards the blood vessels of Xuan Zhenghua.


    All thirteen techniques of the Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles were deployed!


    Soon, countless ck lines began to gather in Xuan Zhenghua''s veins, eventually all flowing out from a wound on his finger.


    The room was filled with a foul stench!


    The tissues in the basin were corroded and disintegrated.


    This showed how powerfully harmful those toxins were.


    "Hmm!" Ye Fan had only retracted half of the silver needles when Xuan Zhenghua groaned and slowly came to his senses, surprised to see Ye Fan before him, he eximed, "Xiao Fan?"


    "It''s me!" Ye Fan made a shushing gesture to Xuan Zhenghua, "Uncle Xuan, don''t speak too loudly. The walls have ears!"


    Over the years, Xuan Zhenghua had actually always been quite good to Ye Fan. Growing up with Xuan Yufei, Ye Fan had often eaten meals cooked by Xuan Zhenghua.


    Xuan Zhenghua nodded, "I know, even though I have been in aa, I could hear everything happening around me, crystal clear!"


    "Thank you for saving me! Is Princess Yu alright? That beast Xuan Zhengguo, just for the sake of Xuan Corporation, actually dared to kill his own elder brother!"


    Xuan Zhenghua said in a low voice, full of anger, and Ye Fan also felt a pang in his heart.


    Since Xuan Zhenghua knew everything about Xuan Zhengguo, there was no need for Ye Fan to exin further.


    "Princess Yu is fine! But she has already announced the cancetion of our engagement yesterday!" As he said this, Ye Fan also sighed, "Of course, Princess Yu was coerced into breaking off the engagement by her second uncle!"


    "Ah?" Upon hearing this news, Xuan Zhenghua couldn''t help but exim again, "That fiend, what has he done? Xiao Fan, I''m so sorry... Uncle knows you must have suffered a lot, I will go back right away and hold an engagement ceremony for you two again..."


    Xuan Zhenghua always considered Ye Fan like his own child, so after hearing the news, his first thought was to make amends.


    But Ye Fan shook his head, "There''s no need for now! Uncle Xuan, a lot has happened these days. The Ye Family has almost been wiped out, my uncles and brothers were all killed in the same day, and those who want to deal with the Ye Family don''t intend to let the Ye Family or me go..."


    "So, in the eyes of outsiders, I am still that foolish idiot! I need to hide in the shadows and root them all out! Those targeting the Ye Family won''t spare any families rted to the Ye Family, so it''s best for the Xuan Family to keep their distance from the Ye Family for now!"


    "Moreover, there may have been some changes within the Xuan Family itself, it''s veryplicated! You need to move out of here immediately, and Princess Yu will arrange a safe ce for you, and I suggest that you also don''t wake up right away, but support Princess Yu from behind..."


    Ye Fan issued his instructions to Xuan Zhenghua!


    His thinking was sharp and meticulous!


    The monstrous genius from five years ago had returned.


    And now, Ye Fan was obviously considering issues more maturely and steadily than before.


    Such a fine son-inw, and that bastard Xuan Zhengguo actually called it off.


    Thinking about it, Xuan Zhenghua just wished he could tear Xuan Zhengguo to pieces.


    "If there''s anything, Uncle Xuan can contact Patriarch Xia for help, he will take care of it!" Ye Fan introduced Xia Hao and Xuan Zhenghua to each other.


    Xia Hao quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Xuan Zhenghua, "Director Xuan, please take good care of me in the future!"


    Nonsense, this was Young Master Ye''s future father-inw, how could he not foster a good rtionship?


    Rustle! Rustle!


    While Ye Fan was still chatting with Xuan Zhenghua in the hospital room, amotion echoed through the corridor.


    A squad of young soldiers in camouge carrying live ammunition quickly gathered at the door of the ward, led by a young man with the rank of major on his shoulder.


    "Military business, stand aside, or you will be executed without mercy!"


    This was the reinforcement that Xuan Zhengguo had called for, Guo Fei, a major from the Military Department of Cloud City, who was a rtive from Xuan Zhengguo''s wife''s side.


    Guo Fei had received a lot of help from Xuan Zhengguo when he joined the Military, and upon hearing that he was justing to intimidate some thugs in Cloud City, he came with his men against the rules, considering it as repaying Xuan Zhengguo''s favor from the past.


    But what Guo Fei didn''t know was that he was about to face a big shot he could not shake.


    "I''m sorry! This is a private room, and without Young Master Ye''s orders, no unauthorized entry is permitted!"


    Even though they knew opposing the Military could have serious consequences, Li Hu, Wang Fugui, and the others didn''t hesitate and stood their ground.


    Click! Click!


    With a wave of Guo Fei''s hand, those in camouge immediately disengaged the safeties on their firearms, "Are you looking for death?"


    By the looks of it, Guo Fei might open fire at any moment!

 Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Zhen Tianwang under the Xuanwu Banner!

    "Commander, as you carry out your duties, we naturally cannot obstruct you! Please produce the relevant documents; otherwise, we won''t let you through!" Li Hu was after all the godfather of Cloud City''s underworld and had seen his share of major events.


    After a brief moment of panic, he immediately settled down.


    Aatose family head of the Xuan Family, who usually behaved himself, what wrong could he have done?


    Moreover, the man was now unconscious, and yet the military personnel still came, which was certainly not normal!


    "Documents��" With just a word, Li Hu had Guo Fei and his adjutant at a loss, fumbling for words and unsure how to exin.


    They came this time mainly to intimidate Li Hu and Ye Fan on behalf of Xuan Zhengguo; what documents could they possibly have?


    "How dare you! We from the Military Department are carrying out a top-secret mission, what documents do we need? Do we have to exin ourselves to you lot, mere ants? Move aside, and if you don''t, don''t me the bullets for not having eyes!" Guo Fei, being a major, reacted very quickly, defusing the situation with a single sentence.


    "Without documents, without Young Master Ye''s orders, we cannotply!" Li Hu coldly responded, gesturing to his brothers around him, "Brothers, grab your weapons and prepare for battle. I want to see just how the military men dare to take action against us."


    tter!


    In the corridor, all of Li Hu''s brothers revealed the weapons they carried, confronting Guo Fei''s men.


    The attendants Li Hu brought with him were all from the legitimate line, had licked blood off their knives for him, and carried out his orders with absolute determination.


    At such a close distance, even if Guo Fei''s men had guns in their hands, they were outnumbered, and if it really came down to a desperate fight, Guo Fei''s men might note out on top.


    "What do you think you are doing? Rebelling?" Guo Fei fiercely scolded Li Hu and the others, his gaze sharp, while simultaneously feeling a bit worried.


    Are these people so reckless with their lives?


    Doesn''t his camouge uniformmand any respect?


    Guo Fei was also concerned that if the situation really got out of control and his superiors found out, he would be in big trouble!


    "Commander, don''t pin such a bigbel on us. We just want to see the documents, that''s all!" Li Hu continued to retort, "A patient lying in a hospital bed, unconscious��we really can''t see how he would be connected to any top-secret mission."


    "Insolence!" Guo Fei scolded, but could not find any words to counter, "Brothers, prepare to take action!"


    Click! Click!


    It was the sound of gun bolts being pulled!


    All of Guo Fei''s men raised the muzzles of their guns, and the tense atmosphere filled the air instantly.


    A major battle could break out at any moment!


    Creak!


    At that moment, Ye Fan and Xia Hao stepped out of the room. Seeing the situation before them, Xia Hao''s expression froze, and before he could speak, Ye Fan did, "Eh! Why are there so many soldier brothers here? Are those guns real?"


    Ye Fan approached, curiously reaching out to touch the barrel of a gun held by one of the young men.


    The young man staggered and stepped back from Ye Fan, "Get lost! Move away!"


    While speaking, the young man pushed Ye Fan.


    ng!


    As Ye Fan staggered, a metallic object fell from his body, rolling to the feet of Guo Fei''s adjutant.


    The adjutant picked up the metallic object without much thought, nced at it casually, and turned to throw it into the nearby trash bin.


    "What is it?" Although Guo Fei only had a quick glimpse, he felt the pattern on the item was vaguely familiar, and his heart skipped a beat.


    "Oh! It''s just a round metal block with a turtle pattern engraved on it, um�� and there are four golden stars��" The adjutant took another look at the object in his hand and reported to Guo Fei, "Who knows which junk heap this came from!"


    Thud!


    The adjutant directly threw the item into the trash bin.


    "Wait!" After hearing the adjutant''s description, Guo Fei''s heart thumped wildly, he quickly scolded his adjutant, but it was already toote.


    Ni Ma!


    If the patterns described by the adjutant were correct, that would be the token of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xuanwu Exhibition Area, a rank above a Four-Star General. It holds enough authority tomand a million military martial forces of the Southeast Eight Provinces.


    This token was actually in the hands of that idiot Ye Fan?


    "What''s wrong?" The adjutant didn''t understand Guo Fei''s reaction, but the next moment, Guo Fei, like a madman, dashed towards the trash can, frantically rummaging through it.


    "Boss!" The adjutant was utterly startled, "The trash can is dirty, isn''t it? What''s going on with you, was that thing just now very important?"


    "Shut up!" Guo Fei was already sweating profusely, as he had a premonition that the item on Ye Fan was indeed real. If so, not even ten heads would save him.


    The subordinates around Guo Fei looked at each other in confusion.


    So... are we still fighting or not?


    Li Hu and Xia Hao''s men, as well as Wang Fugui and others, were also baffled by the scene before them.


    What exactly was happening?


    A random item dropped by Young Master Ye caused such panic in a major?


    Only Xia Hao knew that Ye Fan definitely didn''t drop that item by "coincidence"��it was intentional!


    "Found it!" Guo Fei tore the trash can into eight pieces, finally finding the token that the adjutant had just thrown away.


    Looking closely at it, Guo Feipletely copsed.


    The counterfeit mark, the encoding��everything waspletely correct!


    Ni Ma!


    The young master of the Ye Family, whom everyone thought was an idiot, was actually one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xuanwu Battle Zone?


    Who could know that?


    "Subordinate! Greetings to the Heavenly King under the Xuanwu g, we deserve death!" Guo Fei prostrated himself on the ground and simultaneously berated his subordinates to kneel as well.


    Guo Fei''s area was under the domain of the Xuanwu Battle Zone.


    A Heavenly King, second only to one and above tens of thousands, crushing a minor major like him would be as simple as lifting a finger, wouldn''t it?


    Although Guo Fei''s subordinates didn''t understand what was happening, seeing Guo Fei''s actions, they knew things were definitely problematic.


    "Begging the Heavenly King for forgiveness!"


    Hisss!


    The situation at the scene, because of the appearance of a token, reversed 180 degrees instantly?


    This flip was too sudden; Li Hu, Wang Fugui, and others were still struggling to grasp the situation.


    Ye Fan watched the reactions of Guo Fei and the others, his lips twitching slightly. Pretending to be surprised, he said, "Huh? Why did you suddenly kneel down? Are you paying New Year respects already? It''s not even New Year yet! Get up, get up!"


    "We dare not!" Guo Fei kneeled there without daring to move, "We didn''t know it was the Heavenly King, please forgive us!"


    While speaking, Guo Fei respectfully handed the token to Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan curiously took the token in his hand and looked at it, "Is this thing mine? I had no idea!"


    "Forget it, forget it! Don''t kneel on the ground; it''s cold!"


    Ye Fan casually stuffed the token into his pocket, "It looks like gold, probably can be exchanged for a lot of money, thanks! Keep this a secret for me, otherwise, others might try to steal my gold!"


    Ye Fan''s words left Guo Feipletely bbergasted!


    Heavenly King... What does it mean?


    Was Ye Fan truly foolish, or was he pretending to be?

 Chapter 32: Chapter 32 We cant go back to the past anymore!

    When Guo Fei looked toward Ye Fan with suspicion brimming in his eyes, he suddenly saw a sh of sharpness in Ye Fan''s gaze!


    The threatening intent in that look was very clear, and he even nodded subtly!


    Boom!


    A thunderp exploded in Guo Fei''s head in an instant!


    Could it be that the Ye Family''s young master was not a fool after all?


    He had quietly be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xuanwu Battle Zone��wasn''t this the highest military rank reached by the younger generation of the Ye Family? The Old Master Ye founded the Tianlong Army, esteemed as the King of Beiliang, and ultimately feared by the royal family.


    Now, although the Ye Family had been ambushed, did they finally have a worthy sessor?


    After only a few seconds of rapid thought, Guo Fei immediately understood that Ye Fan was telling him to keep the secret and to get lost at once.


    "Your subordinate takes his leave! I will definitely honor the Heavenly King''s orders!" Guo Fei quickly got up from the ground, called to his men with a shout, and as he was leaving, he didn''t forget to remind Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, please be wary of Xuan Zhengguo."


    Ye Fan naturally knew that the rescue had been requested by Xuan Zhengguo, no reminder from Guo Fei was necessary.


    "Big brother? What was that thing just now, it was so fierce! It could even make a major tremble in fear? Big brother, are you hiding something from me? Let me have a look!"


    No sooner had Guo Fei left than Wang Fugui stepped forward, grabbed Ye Fan''s arm, and tried to see the token from earlier.


    Wang Fugui''s grandfather was the deputy general to Ye Fan''s grandfather, and Wang Fugui also knew a bit about Military affairs.


    The Four Heavenly Kings of the Xuanwu Army, they are dominant presences across all of Great Xia.


    Old Master Ye once said that if even one Heavenly King emerged from the Tianlong Army, he wouldn''t have to worry about the Tianlong Army being disbanded.


    "Dream on! Old Wang, are you trying to steal my gold? Let me tell you, even if you are my brother, it''s not going to happen!" Ye Fan quickly covered his pocket tightly, as if he was afraid that Wang Fugui might snatch his token away.


    Xia Hao, watching from the side, had a streak of exasperation cross his face!


    He was very aware of Ye Fan''s situation.


    Sigh!


    It must be tough for Young Master Ye, to have already woken up but still have to pretend to be a fool.


    However, Young Master Ye''s acting skill was truly unparalleled. The way Young Master Ye was pretending to be a fool now didn''t just resemble one��it was identical to a real fool. With such skill, if Young Master Ye went to Hollywood, he would surely bring home an Oscar statuette.


    "If you don''t want to show me, then fine! Big brother, I was just curious!" Wang Fugui never went against Ye Fan''s wishes, and since Ye Fan refused, Wang Fugui did not press the issue further.


    But for Li Hu and the brothers on the scene, their attitude toward Ye Fan changed drastically in an instant, devoid of any previous contempt.


    They didn''t understand why Xia Hao was groveling to Ye Fan before.


    Though they followed Xia Hao''s orders and treated Ye Fan with the utmost respect, it was only because of the authoritative pressure from Xia Hao and Li Hu.


    But now, a token that fell casually from Ye Fan had a major in camouge kneeling in submission. Ye Fan had be an untouchable existence in their hearts.


    From the crack in the door, Xuan Zhenghua also got a rough idea of the situation outside and heard everything clearly.


    "Damn you, Xuan Zhengguo! Look at the mess you''ve made... It was supposed to be a tremendous fortune for the Xuan Family, and you''ve directly pushed it away! I really want to strangle you!"


    "No! I can''t let such an excellent son-inw get away like this!"


    "But then again, Young Master Ye said he must continue to feign unconsciousness in front of Princess Yu. How should I alert Princess Yu? I need to think of a way!"


    Outside the hospital room, Ye Fan and others such as Xia Hao didn''t have to wait long before Xuan Yufei arrived in a hurry with several security guards.


    Seeing the bodyguards lying on the ground, as well as Ye Fan and the others, Xuan Yufei immediately understood.


    Her uncle must have sent someone to try to take her father hostage, and Ye Fan and others arrived early to rescue her father.


    It was fortunate that Ye Fan and the rest had taken action; otherwise, by the time she had arrived, her father might have been taken away by her uncle''s men.


    If her father was held by her uncle, although Xuan Yufei had the support of many elders from the Xuan Corporation, she would always be hesitant to act rashly.


    "Brother Fan! Thank you!" With a face full of affection, Xuan Yufei stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Ye Fan''s neck, and was about to kiss him on the mouth.


    They had once been lovers, but Xuan Yufei had not seized that perfect opportunity.


    Now, after so much had happened, Xuan Yufei''s resolve in her heart had be even stronger.


    Even if Ye Fan had be a fool, Xuan Yufei was willing to be his woman.


    Just as Xuan Yufei''s red lips were about to touch Ye Fan''s mouth, Ye Fan suddenly pushed her away, "Embarrassing! Yixue wife said, can''t kiss other girls, don''t... Princess Yu, you are not my wife anymore, we can''t kiss..."


    Ye Fan''s words immediately caused Xuan Yufei''s entire body to stiffen on the spot.


    No longer Brother Fan''s wife!


    That sentence, like a thorn, deeply pierced into Xuan Yufei''s heart, causing a sharp pain.


    That''s right!


    Since yesterday, in front of so many people, she had acknowledged the annulment of her engagement with Ye Fan. With her uncle''s announcement and her acquiescence, she had caused great harm to Ye Fan.


    Now, although Ye Fan''s intelligence had declined, Xuan Yufei clearly remembered the loss in Ye Fan''s eyes yesterday.


    Maybe, even though Ye Fan''s intelligence had declined, deep down in his heart, he was still concerned about her, trusted her unconditionally, and even relied on her.


    But when he had needed her the most, she had chosen to leave.


    After all, it was she who had wronged Brother Fan!


    The tears were swirling in her eyes, but Xuan Yufei instantly adjusted herself and made up her mind.


    If she had made a mistake, then she should make amends.


    Now Brother Fan was still in a state of foolery, wasn''t he? Then she would be twice as good to him, perhaps when he regained his senses, he would forgive her, and the broken mirror would be made whole again!


    "Brother Fan, yesterday''s affair was led by my uncle, and of course, my acquiescence also hurt you! I sincerely apologize to you... but I will not give up. Today, in front of so many people, I, Xuan Yufei, swear, in this lifetime, I will only be Ye Fan''s woman!"


    "The harm I caused you before, I will make up to you bit by bit!"


    "Brother Fan, please give me this chance!"


    Xuan Yufei spoke each word with force and conviction.


    The crowd all looked at each other in disbelief!


    This was simply a dramatic reversal!


    Yesterday the Xuan Family had just announced the annulment of the engagement with the Ye Family, and now they were thinking of reconciling?


    Xia Hao''s eyes narrowed, wondering if Xuan Yufei had noticed something hidden by Young Master Ye.


    Li Hu and the others felt some contempt!


    Did she think the Ye Family was just some marketce where she coulde and go as she pleased?


    Although Ye Fan''s face showed little emotion, his heart was somewhatplicated.


    To say he had no feelings for Xuan Yufei was false. The two had grown up together, like childhood sweethearts, and had experienced so many beautiful moments together. How could he possibly forget that easily?


    But now that Xuan Yufei wanted toe back, Ye Fan could not possibly let her off so easily!


    Besides, if he were to ept Xuan Yufei, what would he do about those seven beautiful sisters-inw of his?


    "No! Don''t want yours first, I already have a wife, Yixue wife is the best... She said she would bear me a chubby son!" Ye Fan said innocently, his eyes filled with happiness.


    Xuan Yufei felt another pang of heartache as she watched. Something must have happenedst night.


    But she would definitely not give up!


    "It''s okay! Brother Fan, I will try my best!" Xuan Yufei, holding back the pain in her heart, bowed to Xia Hao and the others, "Thank you all! I will go and settle my father first, then invite everyone to a meal to express my gratitude!"


    With that, Xuan Yufei walked towards the ward.


    She was afraid that if she continued to speak, she would truly be unable to hold back her tears...

 Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Want to Ambush the Great Xia Medical Saint?

    Ye Fan looked at Xuan Yufei''s deste figure and felt a pang of distress!


    But now, there were many things Ye Fan couldn''t exin too clearly. Besides, Xuan Yufei had agreed to cancel the engagement, and to return things to the way they were before, there would always be a price to pay, right?


    After all, he was a fool, no matter how outrageous his actions, everyone would understand.


    What Ye Fan was worried about now was the stolen medicinal recipe from Su Yixue''spany. How was he to resolve this matter?


    Yu Linglong had mentioned that they would invite the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue toe and treat his condition. Hopefully, that old man woulde sooner rather thanter!


    Just as Ye Fan was thinking about this, his phone rang. It was his wife, Su Yixue calling.


    "Xiao Fan! Good news, Sister Linglong is already on her way to Cloud City with Old Master Lei... With the Great Xia Medical Saint taking action, your foolish condition is sure to improve!"


    Listening to Su Yixue''s words over the phone, Ye Fan also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    With Lei Qianjue''s arrival, the issue with the medicinal form would be easier to solve.


    However, Ye Fan was a bit worried. With Lei Qianjueing to treat his condition, he feared that some people might not be so happy about it.


    Would they create obstacles for Old Master Lei on the way?


    "Yixue, my dear, when will they arrive? Are they flying?" Ye Fan decided it was best to be somewhat cautious. Lei Qianjue, after all, was the Great Xia Medical Saint, a highly esteemed medical talent in Great Xia. He certainly should not lose his life in the midst of their struggles.


    At the same time, Ye Fan also wanted to trace the vine to find the melon and confront those who had acted against the Ye Family head-on.


    "Are Young Master Wang and Director Xia with you? Pass the phone to them, I''ll speak to them!" Su Yixue was still somewhat uneasy about Ye Fan, fearing that even if she told him, he might not remember.


    Ye Fan gave a bitter smile and handed the phone to Xia Hao beside him. Su Yixue quickly exined the flight information and timing to Xia Hao.


    When Xia Hao handed the phone back to Ye Fan, he instantly understood that Ye Fan was nning to go to the airport to pick up Mr. Lei.


    Given theplexity of the current situation, even though Yu Linglong would be with him on the journey, Ye Fan still wanted to ensure Mr. Lei''s safety, certainly showing Young Master Ye''s consideration.


    "Let''s go! We''ll head to the airport!"


    At this moment, with less than an hour until the flight''snding, the timing was just right for Ye Fan and Xia Hao''s group to make their way there. While Xia Hao was summoning everyone, he also instructed Li Hu.


    "Brothers, stay sharp. Report to me immediately if you see any suspicious people!"


    Li Hu and his brothers were all full of enthusiasm now!


    They had seen that Ye Fan had a very strong backing.


    Even though Ye Fan was foolish, and the Ye Family was oppressed, Ye Fan had not suffered any losses up to now.


    And the Zhao Family, who opposed the Ye Family, had mysteriously been annihted.


    The one who wanted to harm Princess Yu, Li Yunyang, had died on the spot.


    Though they weren''t smart, they vaguely knew that Ye Fan might be gearing up for a big move.


    If one day Ye Fan awoke, then those who stuck by his side would soar to the heavens on the coattails of one man''s sess!


    While Ye Fan and his team were on the move, in a secret residence in the Northwest, an old man quietly listened to a subordinate''s report.


    "Elder! We just got word that Yu Linglong actually managed to invite the Great Xia Medical Saint to treat Ye Fan, and they are already on their way to Cloud City!" the middle-aged man in front of the old man responded gloomily, "Lei Qianjue had a very good rtionship with Ye Changfeng before, and if this treatment is effective, given Ye Fan''s talent, we could be in trouble, right?"


    The old man twirled the teacup in his hand and raised his eyebrows, saying in a calm tone, "So, what do you intend to do?"


    "I''ve already stationed people at the Cloud City airport, they will intercept and try to dissuade Mr. Lei on the way! I hope he takes the advice, otherwise, I''m afraid we''ll have to be sorry..." The middle-aged man made a throat-slitting gesture, clearly intending to eliminate Lei Qianjue.


    "You better think it through! Mr. Lei is a national yer appointed by the royal family, a treasure of Great Xia. If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences!" The old man did not make his stance clear, neither supporting nor opposing the n.


    The middle-aged man certainly understood the meaning of the elder, "Elder, rest assured! As long as we can stop the Ye Family from reviving, I will take all responsibility for the consequences. This matter has nothing to do with you!"


    The elder nodded in satisfaction, "Go! In addition, urge them a bit more, how is the suppression of the Su Family going? How is it that up to now, such a small Su Family, has still not been dealt with?"


    The middle-aged man''s eyebrows furrowed, he had originally nned to report on the Li Family''s actions.


    But he had just received news that the Li Family had sessfully stolen the core prescriptions of the Su Family, and less than an hour after their press conference, at the engagement feast with Xuan Yufei, someone suddenly fell dead. With Ye Fan also present, this event had a significant impact on the Li Family, and their subsequent actions might have to be dyed.


    If he reported this truthfully to the elder, he was afraid the elder would get angry again. Better to handle it quietly himself.


    "Elder, rest assured, I will definitely urge them! If it can''t be resolved within two days, I will personally make a trip to Cloud City!"


    The Zhao Family''s obliteration, the sudden death of Li Yunyang, the middle-aged man always felt that there was something not quite right about these events.


    Just relying on the Liu Ran Family in Tiannan Province and those few families in Cloud City might not be enough to solve the problem.


    ...


    Cloud City Airport!


    Before Ye Fan and Xia Hao and others arrived, many of Li Hu''s men had already infiltrated the airport.


    "Lord Hu, ording to our brothers'' observations, there are at least twenty to thirty unfamiliar faces at the airport. What should we do?" Lord Hu''s subordinate respectfully reported to Li Hu.


    Li Hu''s face darkened, "Do you even need to ask me? Get rid of them all!"


    "But..." Li Hu''s subordinate seemed troubled, "Lord Hu, most of them can be dealt with no problem, but among them are several Martial Arts Experts, even some above the Martial Arts Control Realm. None of our brothers can match them!"


    "This..."


    Upon hearing this news, Li Hu was also taken aback.


    Although Li Hu was the underworld godfather of Cloud City, his subordinates were limited in strength. They were fine with ordinary people, but they had no way to deal with real experts.


    Next to him, Ye Fan frowned slightly and quietly nced at Wang Fugui. He had a n in mind��it seems that being powerful alone isn''t enough.


    They still needed to quickly cultivate a batch of strong experts!


    "I''ll needle them to drive them away... hehe..." Seeing Xia Hao look over at him, Ye Fan spoke with naive honesty, and at his words, Xia Hao instantly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Xia Hao had a rough idea of Ye Fan''s strength.


    Now that Ye Fan''s martial arts should bepletely restored, with Young Master Ye in ce, there shouldn''t be any problems!


    "Take Young Master Ye over to take a look, Young Master Ye might find a way!" Xia Hao said to Li Hu, while Wang Fugui looked a bit worried, "Director Xia, is... is my elder brother up to it? Let me take action first, and if I can''t deal with them, then my elder brother can step in!"


    "Good! Help me beat them up!" Ye Fan didn''t always want to take action, and with Wang Fugui taking the lead, it lessened the trouble for Ye Fan.


    With Ye Fan''s permission, Li Hu''s subordinates, leading Wang Fugui and a few others including Ye Fan, headed towards the crowd at the airport!


    Meanwhile, a few of Li Hu''s subordinates were eyeing a man wearing a duckbill cap.


    The man was sneaking around, and upon seeing Ye Fan and the others approach, he immediately attempted to run away alertly. However, Wang Fugui stepped forward and grabbed the man by the neck with a surge of dark energy, "Where do you think you''re going?"


    Thwack!


    He knocked him out and controlled him, then Li Hu''s two subordinates helped carry the man out of the airport!


    Thwack! Thwack!


    Throughout the vast airport, at various corners, Li Hu''s men kept making moves while Wang Fugui cooperated with them. In the blink of an eye, they had cleared out most of the lurking assassins.


    "There are still three left, very strong. Young Master Wang needs to be careful!"

 Chapter 34: Chapter 34: The Assassin Dragged Backwards!

    Actually, not to mention Li Hu''s subordinates, Ye Fan and Wang Fugui had already noticed!


    There, three men blended in with a crowd of passengers, yet they couldn''t conceal the Martial Breath emanating from them. When Ye Fan nced over, they were also continuously looking this way.


    They were the core members of this operation. Just now, when they realized that within a mere two minutes, those stationed at the airport had suddenly be unreachable, they began scanning their surroundings, trying to locate their own subordinates. That''s when they spotted Ye Fan, Xia Hao, Wang Fugui, and others approaching.


    "Boss! That idiot Ye Fan is here too, and he''s got that old bastard Xia Hao with him. Things don''t look good," one of the skinny men said to a young man with sses beside him, looking somewhat uneasy as he watched Wang Fugui and the others encircling them.


    The young man with sses was rtively calm, "What''s there to fear? We haven''t done anything, and there are so many people here. Do you think they can actually do anything to us..."


    No sooner had the young man with sses spoken halfway than he suddenly saw several of his subordinates being escorted out of the airport by Li Hu''s men, and his heart instantly became unsettled.


    Those subordinates had all been personally trained by the young man with sses and had be Martial Arts Experts; yet, they had been captured without any fuss?


    Upon brief reflection, the young man with sses immediately understood that all those subordinates he couldn''t contact must have been controlled by Ye Fan''s and Xia Hao''s men.


    That strong?


    Aside from his three men, everyone was controlled in an instant. How did they manage it?


    He wasn''t afraid of the others, but Wang Fugui was a Martial Arts Expert of the Martial Arts Control Realm himself. If things got out of hand, this was still Cloud City International Airport after all, with its own official experts in residence. It would be difficult for him to handle the situation then.


    His purpose ining here was to thwart or assassinate Lei Qianjue. If he were dyed by other matters, he would have a hard time exining it to his superiors.


    And what was even more infuriating was that aside from Wang Fugui, when the young man with sses made eye contact with Ye Fan, he found that Ye Fan was also surging with Martial Arts Qi, and it wasn''t weak at all?


    What was going on? Wasn''t the intelligence suggesting that Ye Fan, after bing idiotic, hadpletely lost his Martial Power?


    How had Ye Fan''s strength recovered by now?


    "You guys hold them off! I''ll go stop Lei Qianjue!" The young man with sses nced at the big screen, which showed Lei Qianjue''s flight had arrived, and he could vaguely see Lei Qianjue''s figure in the exit corridor.


    ording to his superiors'' instructions, it was best to intimidate Lei Qianjue first, making him back off. If Lei Qianjue insisted on entering Cloud City to rescue Ye Fan, then they would really make a move.


    Although the young man with sses'' two brothers were displeased, they didn''t dare to disobey his orders.


    As Xia Hao, Wang Fugui, and others closed in, the two young men had already stepped forward.


    "You''ve got some nerve, interfering with our ns!" The two young men targeted Wang Fugui and immediatelyunched an attack on him.


    The two young men were also experts of the Martial Arts Control Realm, and Wang Fugui''s strength was roughly in the same Realm. If it were two against one, Wang Fugui would indeed find it difficult.


    "Yah! Brother, why are you running? You took my toy, give it back to me..." Ye Fan, while scolding the young man with sses who was leaving, rushed forward quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, he flicked a melon seed from his hand, precisely blocking the blood flow of one of the Martial Arts Experts opposing Wang Fugui.


    Thud!


    The Martial Arts Expert, who had been rushing towards Wang Fugui ready to make a move, suddenly stiffened in ce.


    Before he could figure out what was happening, he was floored by a punch from Wang Fugui.


    To outsiders, it looked as if the Martial Arts Expert had deliberately sought death, letting Wang Fugui pummel him.


    "Damn! What the..." Wang Fugui was also stunned by the turn of events before him, unsure of what had just happened.


    But with one of the two Martial Arts Experts down, the remaining one was much easier for Wang Fugui to handle.


    Within just a few punches, Wang Fugui had the other Martial Arts Expert in retreat.


    Suddenly noticing Ye Fan chasing after the other young man with sses, Wang Fugui panicked, "Brother, don''t run off like that, wait for me!"


    The strength of that young man with sses was no less than Wang Fugui''s! If Ye Fan rushed in and something went wrong, how could he exin it to sister-inw Yixue?


    Before Su Yixue left, she entrusted me with the care of Ye Fan, stressing that nothing could go wrong with him.


    Xia Hao, aware of Ye Fan''s true condition, hurriedly followed with Li Hu while saying to Wang Fugui, "Young Master Wang, I''ll follow him, so you don''t have to worry! Trust your elder brother... Just think about how Old Wolf Wu died..."


    Xia Hao''s words immediately woke Wang Fugui up.


    At the time Su Yixue was being pursued by Old Wolf Wu and others, Ye Fan had charged in on a motorcycle and had thrashed Old Wolf Wu beyond recognition.


    At that moment, Wang Fugui had clearly sensed the surging Martial Breath emanating from Ye Fan.


    Could it be that although the elder brother was not conscious, his martial power had already partially awakened?


    ...


    Meanwhile, the bespectacled young man being chased by Ye Fan cursed in his heart with a thousand damnations.


    Damn it!


    When did I ever y with your toy?


    That idiot from the Ye Family, is he really stupid, or just pretending?


    However, the surrounding travelers, unaware of the truth, saw Ye Fan stubbornly chasing after him, and some travelers even tried to stop the bespectacled young man.


    "Look at you, with sses on, you seem like an educated man; why steal a child''s toy? Just give it back to him!"


    "Right! Not cool, don''t run, where do you think you can go?"


    The bespectacled young man wanted to curse their ancestors; he shouted, "Get lost!"


    The bespectacled young man fixed his gaze on the corridor ahead. Just one more turn and he would see Lei Qianjue.


    On that side, his own people were undercover. With coordination, even if Lei Qianjue refused to cooperate, with the protection of the Grandmaster Yu Linglong, they could take care of Lei Qianjue themselves.


    The bespectacled young man kept sprinting forward, but the more he ran, the more something seemed off.


    Despite running very fast and using Martial Arts Qi, to his shock, Ye Fan was constantly behind him, not falling behind, and even seemed to be about to overtake him?


    Is this how an idiot should appear?


    Could it be that Ye Fan''s monstrous talent has awoken?


    As the bespectacled young man''s heart shook, he sped up once more.


    Seeing that he was less than two meters away from the silhouette of Lei Qianjue, "Mr. Lei..."


    The bespectacled young man was about to speak, when suddenly he felt himself being grabbed from behind and yanked back forcefully, "Yah! I finally caught you, hand over my toy, give it back!"


    The bespectacled young man was abruptly pulled several feet backward, increasing the distance between him and Lei Qianjue.


    Damn it!


    On the verge of insanity, the assassin thought, am I actually being dragged backwards?


    Meanwhile, Yu Linglong, who was next to Lei Qianjue, also reacted, "What do you think you''re doing?" Yu Linglong stared coldly at the bespectacled young man, her aura fully unleashed.


    The next moment, Yu Linglong saw Ye Fan, and her pupils unwittingly dted!


    "Ye Fan? What are you doing here?"


    Yu Linglong frowned deeply. What was Yixue doing? Didn''t she say she''d take care of Ye Fan in the first month, so how did he end up at the airport alone?

 Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Ultimate Movement Technique, Change of Seasons!

    Fuck!


    Dammit!


    You damn!


    At this moment, the bespectacled young man let out all the curses he could muster, "Get lost! I haven''t taken your fucking doll, just fuck off!"


    The bespectacled young man red at Ye Fan, a murderous intent brewing in his heart.


    After all, the order from above was to prevent Lei Qianjue from sessfully treating Ye Fan''s illness.


    So if he were to kill Ye Fan himself, wouldn''t that count aspleting the mission?


    As he pushed Ye Fan, the bespectacled young man exerted some force in his hand, and a faint Qi Force surged towards Ye Fan''s body.


    Even if he couldn''t kill Ye Fan, he at least wanted to cripple him on the spot.


    However, once he released his Qi Force, the bespectacled young man realized something was wrong. All the Martial Arts Qi he directed at Ye Fan vanished without a trace, like throwing mud into the ocean��there was no reaction?


    And Ye Fan''s body remained motionless, standing right where he was!


    What was even more crucial was that as Ye Fan flipped his wrist, the young man in sses suddenly felt a piercing pain in his own arm. Then, an overwhelming Qi Force surged into his body, instantly corroding his muscles and veins as well as his Vitality Force.


    In just an instant, the bespectacled young man realized his martial arts skills had plummeted from the Grandmaster Realm to the Martial Arts Control Realm.


    What...what is going on?


    "You...what the hell did you do to me?" The bespectacled young man screamed in terror, trying to create distance between himself and Ye Fan.


    By this time, Yu Linglong had reacted. Seeing the bespectacled young man pushing Ye Fan, she became furious, "How dare you! What are you doing? Touching my man, you''re looking for death!"


    Boom!


    Without any hesitation, Yu Linglong''s strength above the Grandmaster Level erupted, and she smashed a fist towards the bespectacled young man''s chest.


    Crack! Crack!


    The bespectacled young man almost instinctively swung his arms to block, barely holding off Yu Linglong''s attack, but the bones in both arms shattered, and his body staggered backward.


    While the bespectacled young man was still contemting how to counterattack effectively, his body violently convulsed, then blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he copsed to the ground, immediately devoid of any Vitality Force.


    Dead?


    Such a scene stunned Yu Linglong and those who had rushed over, like Xia Hao and Li Hu.


    Yu Linglong''s pupils dted; she knew very well the extent of the strength she had used.


    She had only used peak control strength, which could certainly leave the young man critically injured, but to kill with a single strike? That seemed unlikely.


    What on earth happened?


    Yu Linglong suddenly recalled the bespectacled young man''s outburst about being pricked in the hand or something by Ye Fan!


    Could it have been Ye Fan who took action?


    But Ye Fan was clearly in a state of idiocy now? How could he so easily kill a grandmaster level expert?


    Moreover, even if he did intend to kill, what good would a brief needle do?


    Yu Linglong looked around, puzzled, for Ye Fan''s whereabouts.


    Meanwhile, Ye Fan had already shed behind Lei Qianjue.


    Behind Lei Qianjue, another youth in id shirt had approached quietly and whispered into Lei Qianjue''s ear, "Mr. Lei, it would be best if you leave Cloud City immediately! Do not get involved in treating the Ye Family''s young master, otherwise, we will have to send you on your way!"


    Hmm?


    As the Great Xia Medical Saint, Lei Qianjue not only possessed astounding medical skills but also knew some martial arts.


    Lei Qianjue had very strong connections in Great Xia, powerful enough that almost no one dared toy a hand on him.


    And now, someone was actually threatening him?


    Fury spread across Lei Qianjue''s face, "You trash think you can threaten me? Hmph! Do I need you to tell me what to do? You''re asking for death!"


    Lei Qianjue had heard the tragic news from the Ye Family two days ago, and it had left him feeling uneasy.


    The Ye Family had made such vast contributions to the founding of the entire Great Xia Royal Family that when it was suddenly annihted, with such a brutal oue, leaving the Ye Family nearly extinct, it sent a chill through the hearts of people everywhere.


    Thus, when Yu Linglong sought his help to save Ye Fan, Lei Qianjue didn''t hesitate for a moment, immediately setting aside his work and following Yu Linglong to the scene.


    The Ye Family''s meritorious service had indeed deterred certain individuals.


    But to go so far as to eradicate the family so decisively was excessive! Lei Qianjue was also seething with anger inside.


    As he reprimanded with his mouth, his hand struck out toward the youth with a p.


    A cold light shed in the youth''s eyes, "Old man, you''re seeking your own death. Don''t me me!"


    As he spoke, the youth swung his hand and a dagger shimmering with a cold gleam shed towards Lei Qianjue''s arm.


    Blue light?


    "Poisonous!" As a renowned doctor, Lei Qianjue immediately understood upon seeing the blue-tinged de��the dagger was smeared with a potent poison. And with such a deep blue color, the toxicity was surely strong.


    Was this an attempt to leave him with no escape?


    Lei Qianjue wanted to retreat, but it was already toote.


    For the youth had not only drawn the dagger but also unbuttoned his shirt to release a mechanism, shouting "Pear Blossoms in a Storm!"


    This was a hidden weapon developed by the ancient Tang Sect, filled with countless poisonous needles. Such an outburst, from such a close distance, how could Lei Qianjue possibly dodge them all?


    Despite being the Great Xia Medical Saint, faced with so many poisonous needles, Lei Qianjue was at a loss.


    Moreover, given that the assant had attacked, he surely used a toxin that sealed the throat upon contact with blood. Even if Lei Qianjue wanted to save himself, he had no chance whatsoever.


    Dammit!


    A mishap in the gutter!


    Lei Qianjue had no regrets, only anger and unwillingness. It seemed they even wanted to kill a divine doctor from the Great Xia nation.


    It appeared that the enemy had indeed resolved to ensure the Ye Family''s extinction.


    "Ouch! Big brother, why did you bump into me? That really hurt..."


    It was abrupt!


    The familiar voice that sounded next to Lei Qianjue belonged to none other than Ye Fan.


    Whileining, Ye Fan reached out and forcefully pushed the youth in the shirt.


    Everyone''s vision blurred for a moment, and by the time they could react, the situation had drastically changed.


    Originally, after the youth triggered the Pear Blossoms in a Storm, he had been face to face with Lei Qianjue.


    But now, in the blink of an eye, the shirt-wearing youth had changed direction and position, ending up with his back to Lei Qianjue and leaning into his embrace.


    And those poison needles that had been firing out hadn''t yet reached Lei Qianjue.


    With the flower-shirted youth blocking in front of Lei Qianjue, he became a natural human shield!


    Thud! Thud!


    Like a Heavenly Maiden Scattering Blossoms, the body of the youth in the flower shirt was instantly riddled with needles.


    "No... no..." Feeling the numbness and intense pain in his chest, the youth''s eyes filled with despair, along with shock and disbelief.


    Was this the legendary peerless movement technique, Change of Seasons?


    This movement technique could instantly alter one''s own position or that of a target, perfect forbat to enhance offensive efficiency or to evade pursuit. It had been lost for a thousand years, existing only in ancient records. How could Ye Fan possibly know it?


    How could this be?


    Had Ye Fan already woken up?

 Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Who on Earth Saved the Old Man?

    The young man''s gradually befuddling consciousness finally made him realize something!


    He had been yed!


    His strength was superior to that of the bespectacled young man, hisst trump card against Lei Qianjue. The bespectacled young man mysteriously died by Yu Linglong''s hand, but before his death, he had contact with Ye Fan.


    Now he too had fallen, and the reason was that Ye Fan had just casually ced his hand on his shoulder!


    He understood, it must have been Ye Fan who had tampered with something.


    But none of that mattered anymore.


    Because even if he knew the truth, it was already toote to change anything.


    Thump!


    The young man in the floral shirt fell into the pool of blood, a loud noise causing Lei Qianjue, whose eyes had already closed, to open them once more, looking at his chest with some confusion.


    No scars, no wounds?


    He wasn''t dead?


    "What... what''s going on..." He hadn''t died, yet the assassin who wanted him dead was suddenly killed by his own weapon?


    What kind of miracle had urred within that one meter distance to make this possible?


    Lei Qianjue looked around nkly. Besides the few ordinary bodyguards arranged by Yu Linglong beside him, two meters away stood Ye Fan, grinning foolishly, "See! I told you not to mess with me, karma, man... serves you right, serves you right..."


    Ye Fan, looking this way, how could it seem likely that he had saved him?


    Was there a master hidden among those bodyguards who suddenly saved him?


    Impossible!


    The abilities of those bodyguards were very clear to Lei Qianjue; they couldn''t possibly have that kind of strength!


    Ye Fan?


    Lei Qianjue looked at Ye Fan with confusion!


    Although he was a monstrous genius five years ago, already a Grandmaster, wasn''t he in a state of imbecility now?


    Moreover, even if Ye Fan had returned to normal, to save him from such a close distance while under attack from Pear Blossoms in a Storm, escaping unscathed, that was not something a simple Grandmaster could aplish.


    Unless he had reached a strength above a Martial Lord...


    But was that even possible?


    And besides, Ye Fan was so close. If he had taken action, as a Martial Arts expert, how could Lei Qianjue not feel any Qi Force Fluctuation?


    Lei Qianjue quickly dismissed Ye Fan as a possibility!


    So, excluding Ye Fan, the only one left who could be responsible was Yu Linglong!


    As Lei Qianjue turned his head towards Yu Linglong, he saw the same look of bewilderment in her eyes.


    Yu Linglong was still absorbed in the shock of killing the bespectacled Grandmaster with a single blow��how could she possibly have had the chance to save Lei Qianjue?


    In just the blink of an eye, another Grandmaster had used Pear Blossoms in a Storm to turn himself into a dead man.


    What was eerie is that the assant first triggered Pear Blossoms in a Storm, then quickly turned in a direction, dashing ahead of the poisonous needles to use himself as a live target?


    Was he out of his mind?


    This was just too illogical!


    Yu Linglong was the first to snap back to reality and rushed to Ye Fan''s side, grabbing his arm and demanding, "Ye Fan! Tell me, are you already awake? Have you been deceiving us all along?"


    "If you dare deceive me, I''ll chop you up!"


    Ye Fan, who initially nned to be honest with Yu Linglong, instantly felt a chill in his crotch and swiftly swallowed the thought.


    His eldest wife was rather fierce��some things are better saidter.


    "Awake? I just woke up this morning, why should I wake up again? Linglong, my wife�� did youe especially to see me? Do you want to sleep with me?" Ye Fan asked, hugging Yu Linglong''s slender waist with an innocent face, pulling his body close to hers.


    Though Yu Linglong was already betrothed to the Ye Family, she had barely seen the face of the eldest Ye��let alone engaged in any intimate acts.


    Feeling Ye Fan''s sudden embrace, Yu Linglong stiffened and felt somewhat uneasy.


    "Don''t talk nonsense!" Yu Linglong initially wanted to scold Ye Fan, but remembering she had dered in front of her sisters that she''d marry him, and would sooner orter be his woman, she let it pass.


    Moreover, he was still a fool at the moment.


    But that was just as well��Ye Fan benefited from it!


    Embracing Yu Linglong so closely, Ye Fan felt the towering warmth and softness in front of her chest, along with a unique fragrance.


    "Mr. Lei, please help us! This is my husband, Ye Fan!" Yu Linglong respectfully bowed to Lei Qianjue.


    Lei Qianjue nodded, "Rest assured, I will do my utmost!"


    Wang Fugui and Li Hu, who had finished their battle, along with arge group of men, also rushed over, "Big brother, are you alright?" Relieved to see Ye Fan unharmed, Wang Fugui quickly bowed respectfully to Lei Qianjue, "Greetings to Sage Doctor Lei!"


    Lei Qianjue, as the Great Xia Medical Saint, was almost universally known. The key was that Lei Qianjue didn''t only save big shots but also contributed many prescriptions, bringing tangible benefits to ordinary people.


    "Sage Doctor Lei, I entrust my big brother to your care! As long as you can cure my brother, I am willing to work like an ox or horse for you!" Wang Fugui said earnestly, truly wishing the best for Ye Fan.


    Lei Qianjue and Yu Linglong, seeing so many people gathering, instantly understood that these people must havee to support Lei Qianjue, to protect him.


    But who had saved Old Doctor Lei when he was in danger just now?


    Seeing the confusion in Yu Linglong''s eyes, Xia Hao quickly stepped forward and introduced himself respectfully, "I am Xia Hao! I owe Young Master Ye a favor from five years ago, he saved my life, and now I run errands for him. Hearing that Divine Doctor Lei hase to treat Young Master Ye, I took the liberty of apanying Young Master Wang with men to offer support..."


    "Hmm?" Yu Linglong''s eyes shed with surprise upon hearing Xia Hao''s report.


    To stop Old Mr. Lei from treating Ye Fan, they had deployed so many...


    Hmph!


    Having decided to continue with her marriage to Ye Fan, Yu Linglong had made up her mind to share life and death with the Ye Family.


    Those who aim to stop Mr. Lei from saving people are, thereby, opposing Yu Linglong.


    Everything went smoothly on the way back from the airport to Su Yixue''s ce.


    Soon, Ye Fan was taken to a room by Lei Qianjue alone, ready to begin the diagnosis!


    "Young Master Ye, let me see your hand!" Lei Qianjue spoke gently to Ye Fan, reaching out his hand to signal Ye Fan to allow him to take his pulse, "Young Master Ye, be good and listen, after I''m done checking you, I''ll buy you candy, alright?"


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, directly interrupting Lei Qianjue, "Old Mr. Lei, I''ve actually been waiting for your arrival."


    As he spoke, Ye Fan swiftly grabbed Lei Qianjue''s wrist and said hastily, "Mr. Lei, your excess inner heat is obvious, your pulse quickened by three beats, and your breathing is slightly disordered. You haven''t been resting welltely... Moreover,st night at Zi Hour, you drank two ounces of alcohol... At your age, drinking is not good for your health..."


    Hmm?


    Lei Qianjue''s pupils dted dramatically, staring at Ye Fan in shock, "You..."


    For a moment, Lei Qianjue didn''t know what state Ye Fan was actually in!


    Was he truly foolish, or what?


    Because what Ye Fan described was utterly urate!


    With such a proficient diagnosis, Lei Qianjue might suspect Ye Fan had nted surveince around him... Could it be... Ye Fan wasn''t foolish?

 Chapter 37: Chapter 37 The Great Xia Medical Saint is Shocked and Numb!

    "That''s right! I have awoken, but I have another top-secret n that I cannot reveal in front of others!" Ye Fan, having spoken, did not intend to hold back in front of Lei Qianjue.


    After all, there were two very important matters for which he needed Lei Qianjue''s help.


    Ah?


    Lei Qianjue waspletely astonished. Ye Fan''s acting skills were too good, weren''t they? He had deceived everyone?


    "So, the operation at the airport, all of it was orchestrated and led by Young Master Ye?" Lei Qianjue was naturally curious; now, all the families were distancing themselves from the Ye Family, yet the Xia Family from the Provincial City was recklessly revolving around Ye Fan, which made no sense.


    Moreover, to have cleared so many assassins lurking at the airport in such a short time. Ye Fan also "coincidentally" took out the killers targeting him twice in session. It turned out none of it was a coincidence but the result of Ye Fan''s meticulous nning.


    "Yes!" Ye Fan nodded, "The only person who knew about my awakening was Xia Hao! My n needed him to carry it out!"


    "So, it was you who rescued me from that youth in the floral shirt? You used the superior movement technique ''Change of Seasons'' under the attack of ''Pear Blossoms in a Storm''?" Lei Qianjue''s shock was indescribable, and even his beard trembled.


    He knew very well what that meant!


    ''Change of Seasons'', a technique countless people longed for. Since Ye Fan knew this movement technique, he must also know many other martial techniques.


    As long as Ye Fan was awake, with his terrifying talent, the Ye Family wouldn''t copse.


    Those who nned to deal with the Ye Family, were they doomed?


    "It was me! In order not to expose myself, my methods were a bit clumsy, which amused Mr. Lei!" Ye Fan continued nodding.


    "So, you intend to keep everyone in the dark!" Lei Qianjue was not foolish; after realizing Ye Fan''s thoughts, he understood that Ye Fan definitely wouldn''t reveal himself to outsiders for the time being, and would continue to feign ignorance, "Then Young Master Ye, wait for me. What do you need my help with?"


    Lei Qianjue''s expression turned solemn, "Young Master Ye, rest assured, I and Old Master Ye have been good friends for many years! I will keep your situation a secret, and I will definitely not refuse if I can help!"


    Ye Fan nodded, "Mr. Lei, I await your arrival! There are two matters for which I need your help. One is that the beauty nourishing cream prescription from Yixue Company has been stolen. Now, as thepany''s new productunch is impending, I need your help to procure a prescription for her!"


    Lei Qianjue''s eyebrows furrowed, "But I don''t have any youth-preserving prescriptions on hand that could be of use?"


    "I do!" As Ye Fan spoke, his eyes swept around the room. He took a notebook from the table, tore off a sheet of paper, and quickly wrote down a prescription, "This beauty nourishing cream is an ancient prescription from the Herbal ssic of the Holy Farmer. Remember, the temperature must be controlled at 323 degrees, burned for eight minutes, not a second more or less, otherwise the ointment cannot be made..."


    Lei Qianjue epted the prescription and looked at it closely, noticing thebination of herbs and the slight differences in amounts. The longer he looked, the more grave his expression became.


    Although most of the ingredients listed weremon, it was the cleverbination that seemed to trigger some miraculous reactions,pletely different from conventional thinking.


    "Brilliant! Indeed brilliant... why didn''t I think of this myself? Legendary prescriptions truly stand apart!" Lei Qianjue became more excited as he read, his aged face flushing red. But an instantter, confusion appeared in his eyes, "Young Master Ye, with such an exquisite prescription, why not give it directly to that girl Yixue?"


    Lei Qianjue was already fully aware of what Su Yixue and Yu Linglong, and others had done.


    In such dire straits, Yu Linglong and Su Yixue, among others, announced without any hesitation that they would marry Ye Fan and continue staying with the Ye Family.


    It required tremendous courage, worthy of everyone''s admiration.


    Ye Fan gave a bitter smile, "Mr. Lei, do you think I''m a fool to hand over a prescription that even if it''s real, no one would believe? And even if someone does believe, how could I continue to pretend?"


    When Ye Fan said this, Lei Qianjue immediately understood. Ye Fan wanted to use his own identity to help cover for him.


    "Alright! No problem, I will definitely pass the prescription to Yixue! Tonight when I return, I will make the ointment myself and, once sessful, I''ll personally go and instruct Yixue and the others!" Lei Qianjue looked at Ye Fan with a meaningful gaze, and couldn''t help but start to pity those who were plotting against the Ye Family.


    You are going to be yed to death without even knowing how you died!


    "Young Master Ye, what''s the other matter?" Lei Qianjue asked.


    Ye Fan''s expression turned grave as he began, "Mr. Lei, you know about my grandfather''s health, right? His chronic illness over all these years,pounded by recent events, has brought him to the brink!"


    Lei Qianjue nodded, "Ah! I''m well aware of Elder Ye''s health condition. I''ve helped him check it before, but my medical skills are limited. Relying on medication alone, I''m afraid it won''t sustain him much longer. What, does Young Master Ye have a solution?"


    "That''s why the second matter is this! I hope Mr. Lei can help me treat my grandfather and, at the very least, allow him to live another twenty years! Of course, to facilitate Mr. Lei''s intervention, I will teach you a set of needle techniques!" As he spoke, Ye Fan took out a silver needle from his person, "Mr. Lei, please watch closely. The first needle, ''Guanyin''s Tears,'' inserts three fen into the Danzhong acupoint. Use Qi Force to cause the needle tip to tremble while gently rotating it, using the tip to stir the blood vessels..."


    "The second needle, ''Great Buddha''s Compassion,'' inserts four fen into the Fengchi acupoint, Qi Force strikes, locking in the life force!"


    ...


    After the needle technique was exined, Lei Qianjue waspletely stunned!


    "This... Young Master Ye, is this the Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles? The lost technique from the Herbal ssic of the Holy Farmer, the Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles? You actually possess such a powerful technique that can snatch lives from the hands of Yama and turn the living into bone?"


    Lei Qianjue was so shocked that he jumped up on the spot!


    This set of techniques was a defiance of the heavens and the ultimate dream of all in the medical field. Yet everyone had only heard of it in ancient records, with no one able to master it, let alone learn it.


    And now, not only did Ye Fan know this technique, but he was also passing it on to him without any reservation?


    Lei Qianjue suddenly thought of something. Five years ago, there was a legend on thend of the Southwest.


    It was said that a young medical immortal had appeared who had saved countless big shots. With his needling technique, he snatched countless people back from the brink of death. At that time, the young medical immortal''s fame almost overshadowed Lei Qianjue''s own.


    Secretly, Lei Qianjue had learned a great deal about the medical cases handled by the young medical immortal. The various techniques and medications indeed far surpassed his own, enough for the immortal to be his master!


    But since Ye Fan''s car ident, the young medical immortal had seemingly vanished without a trace.


    Now putting together the past and present, Lei Qianjue''s pupils dted, "Young Master Ye, could it be... that five years ago, the young medical immortal whose name echoed throughout Great Xia, was you?"


    "It was me!" Ye Fan replied calmly, "Did you memorize the technique I just demonstrated? If not clear, I can demonstrate it again."


    Lei Qianjue hurriedly spoke with reverence, "I''ve memorized it!"


    THUD!


    The next moment, without any hesitation, Lei Qianjue knelt down before Ye Fan, "Student Lei Qianjue thanks Master for the gift of your teachings!"

 Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Socially Awesome Divine Doctor!

    Lei Qianjue''s action left Ye Fan stunned!


    "Mr. Lei, what are you doing? Please get up," Ye Fan only taught Lei Qianjue the Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles because he wanted Lei Qianjue to help treat his grandfather.


    Lei Qianjue was a highly respected medical leader throughout Huaxia whom Ye Fan had always respected. Ye Fan was afraid of shortening his life span by having Lei Qianjue bow to him as his master.


    When Ye Fan tried to help Lei Qianjue up, Lei Qianjue''s attitude was very firm, "Master! Please don''t refuse. You should also know the value and rarity of the Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles, an extraordinary method capable of reversing fate. Since you have passed the technique on to me, from today, I am Young Master Ye''s disciple... I have also studied the cases Young Master Ye previously treated and indeed feel inferior, hoping for Master''s continued guidance..."


    Lei Qianjue''s gesture somewhat made Ye Fan smile bitterly.


    Being only in his early twenties, yet he had taken a seventy-year-old man as his disciple.


    Seeing Lei Qianjue''s determination, Ye Fan did not refuse anymore, "Mr. Lei, please stand up first. It doesn''t matter what you call me in private! But when others are around, just call me Ye Fan, so as not to reveal anything!"


    "Yes, Master!" Lei Qianjue stood respectfully to one side,pletely resembling a well-behaved elementary student, "Then, regarding Master''s condition, how should I exin it to General Yu and Yixue?"


    Ye Fan furrowed his brows in thought. Revealing his condition was definitely not an option now, but saying that he couldn''t be treated would worry the girls too, "Well, just tell them that my condition is slowly improving, that my brain and nerves haven''t been injured, and that full recovery is entirely possible, only requiring time for recuperation..."


    A profound look shed in Ye Fan''s eyes!


    This news would surely throw those who were against the Ye Family into a panic.


    The idea that the Ye Family''s fool might be cured meant that there was still hope for the Ye Family''s revival. They would surely start probing him, attempting to attack him again.


    Ye Fan, on the other hand, would remain hidden in the shadows, tracing the clues to find the real culprit behind the scenes, seeking justice for the wronged souls of the Ye Family.


    "Yes, Master!"


    ...


    Outside the bedroom door where Su Yixue resided, Yu Linglong and Su Yixue were both present.


    The two women anxiously looked towards the door, waiting for Lei Qianjue''s diagnosis.


    Su Yixue''s fingers were nervously entwined, thinking of Ye Fan''s valiant performance in bed the previous night, she had some doubts. Ye Fan''s demeanorst night didn''t look like that of a fool at all!


    But why hasn''t Ye Fan woken up yet?


    What exactly is going on?


    Xia Hao sat in a chair to the side, surprisingly calm.


    Young Master Ye was clearly conscious but chose to deliberately conceal himself, truly a tough situation for Young Master Ye.


    Creak!


    The door opened, and Su Yixue and Yu Linglong practically leaped out, "Mr. Lei, how is Ye Fan doing?"


    Lei Qianjue spoke with a smile, "Don''t worry! Ye Fan''s brain and nerves are uninjured. It''s just that certain areas were stimted and are temporarily stuck... I need to help him recuperate slowly, but Young Master Ye should be able to recover normally very soon, you don''t need to worry too much..."


    Lei Qianjue''s words gave Su Yixue and Yu Linglong a look of relief as they nced at each other.


    "Xiao Fan, did you know that you''ll be better soon?" Su Yixue had already developed that kind of rtionship with Ye Fan, so she had to be more natural with Ye Fan than before, stepping forward to take Ye Fan''s hand with an indulgent look.


    If Ye Fan was to wake up and sleep with her again at night, wouldn''t that be so embarrassing?


    Thinking of certain scenes, Su Yixue''s face turned red involuntarily.


    Yu Linglong stared intensely at Ye Fan, her mind a tangle of confusion as she thought about the Martial Arts Qi Force fluctuation she had perceived before and the incident at the airport today.


    Was she the one whose senses were mistaken, or had Ye Fan truly not awakened?


    But Mr. Lei wouldn''t have deceived everyone, Ye Fan must still be in a vacant and foolish state!


    Otherwise... if the awakened Ye Fan knew that all seven of his stunning sisters-inw were to marry him!


    Hmph!


    That enchanting man would definitely go crazy with joy!


    Yu Linglong took a deep look at Ye Fan, feeling a wave of annoyance inside. It was too good a deal for this guy.


    "General Yu, Miss Su, it''s gettingte! I''ll make a trip to Elder Ye first ande tomorrow to continue treating Young Master Ye!" Lei Qianjue bid farewell to everyone, got into his car, and left Su Yixue''s residence.


    In the crowd, a young man sent a discreet text message upon seeing Lei Qianjue leave.


    Thus, at a secret residence in the Northwest, Elder Zhang immediately received the news.


    "Hmph! A bunch of good-for-nothings; so many people tried to block Lei Qianjue, and they all got taken out in one fell swoop... Lei Qianjue''s diagnosis is out, saying that Ye Fan has aplete hope of awakening, that with proper care, he could recover very soon! What''s the use of ying when Ye Fan recovers?"


    A furious Elder Zhang mmed the documents in his hand onto the floor, his face darkening.


    Everyone knew of Ye Fan''s talent five years ago.


    At fifteen, he was already a grandmaster level martial artist, a feat unsurpassed in the whole of Great Xia. In intelligence, martial arts, or medicine, he was an absolute peak.


    Ye Fan was the dragon of the Ye Family, and with him, the Ye Family would soar to great heights in no time.


    "Elder, what do we do now? If we know that Ye Fan can awaken, then others will definitely know as well! Those who have already broken away from the Ye Family, once they get this news, they might side with the Ye Family again. Then our ns will be even more difficult to execute!"


    The middle-aged man standing beside the Elder also looked rather uneasy.


    After all, he was directly nning all the actions in Cloud City.


    Whether it was to suppress the Su Family or to intercept Lei Qianjue, both attempts had failed. It seemed he had to take a trip to Cloud City himself now!


    "Hmph! You still have the sense to realize this? What else is there to do? If we''re going to do it, then we''ll do it thoroughly, leaving no troubles behind!" Elder Zhang''s eyes shed with a hint of murderous intent, "Our deeds, once exposed, will make us all dead men when the Ye Family strikes back!"


    "Make sure the job is done cleanly! This time, you go to Cloud City yourself to make arrangements. Choose some experts for the mission. Those below the Control Realm don''t need to go... There''s no rush for the moment, but we must be meticulous and safe!"


    Elder Zhang heaved a long sigh and murmured to himself, "Ye Changfeng, you forced me into this. Don''t me me!"


    ��


    In Cloud City, inside Lei Qianjue''s car, while he was hurriedly making his way to Ye Changfeng''s house, Lei Qianjue was incessantly calling, "Old Li, are you free tonight? Come to Cloud City, have a drink with Old Ye! Yes, that''s right, I mean Ye Changfeng... What am I doing in Cloud City? Treating Ye Fan of course... Stop asking why, just tell me if you''reing for drinks?"


    "Since Divine Doctor Lei has personally invited me, how could I note?" In a courtyard somewhere in the Southwest, a sharp-eyed old man hung up the phone, a glint of keenness shed in his eyes, "Lei Qianjue is holding such a high-profile gathering, what does this mean? Could it be that Ye Fan is showing signs of awakening?"


    "If that''s the case, then the Li Family must reconsider their choice!"


    "Old Zhou,e over for a drink!"


    "Old L��!"


    Lei Qianjue was like a socialworking fanatic. It was only a twenty-minute drive from Su Yixue''s ce to the Ye Family Courtyard, yet Lei Qianjue managed to call nearly all the old friends he could summon in just two or three dozen phone calls��

 Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Dont Touch Randomly!

    Ye Changfeng, who had already gone to bed, never expected his house to be so lively tonight!


    The old friends, with whom he hadn''t been in contact for a while, all gathered at his home tonight.


    "Old Lei, what''s going on? Did you call everyone here? What''s the situation, has there been any new development with Ye Fan''s illness?" Ye Changfeng asked, sitting at the head of the table, turning to Lei Qianjue beside him.


    Some big shots who had arrived at the Ye Family were all ears, ready to hear what Lei Qianjue would say.


    This was their main concern!


    Lei Qianjue''s arrival in Cloud City to help the Ye Family and treat Ye Fan was actually a very risky move.


    Everyone knew that the Ye Family was being targeted. Lei Qianjue''s decision to align with the Ye Family at this time was not wise, but Lei Qianjue was not stupid. He must have his reasons for doing so.


    "Young Master Ye''s condition, ording to my examination, doesn''t show much impact on the brain and nerves. There should be hope for awakening, and I need to continue observation and treatment for a while!" Lei Qianjue was vague in his exnation, as this could be conveyed to Ye Fan for the time being. He couldn''t reveal too much just yet.


    Ye Fan was hiding in the shadows, which made it easier for him to act.


    "Oh! Is that so?" Ye Changfeng felt somewhat disappointed, and some of the big shots present also felt downhearted inside.


    They had thought Ye Fan was about to awaken. If Ye Fan awoke, with his terrifying talent, he could take full control of the Tianlong Army, and the Ye Family could quickly rise again, returning to its peak.


    But for now, Ye Fan only "has hope" of awakening, which seems indefinitely far off.


    Some big shots, once they knew the real situation, immediately pretended to take a call and then sneaked away.


    A declining Ye Family wasn''t worth their time. And it was a family likely to bring trouble!


    But there were still some big shots left who thought more deeply.


    Lei Qianjue was not brainless. Since he darede to Cloud City, willing to help Ye Fan, and specially called so many people over in the middle of the night, it definitely wasn''t that simple.


    "Haha! You guys are truly sincere, good deeds will be rewarded! Come, let''s drink! Old Ye, you always have enough liquor, right? Tonight, we won''t return until we''re drunk!"


    Lei Qianjue, a man suffering from social superiorityplex, was the mood-maker on the scene,pletely disregarding the fact that it was someone else''s house and started making himself at home at the Ye residence!


    ...


    In Su Yixue''s vi, after Lei Qianjue left, Xia Hao, Li Hu, Wang Fugui, and others also tactfully departed.


    The vi was soon left with only Su Yixue and Yu Linglong.


    Watching Su Yixue''s intimate actions with Ye Fan, Yu Linglong''s face blushed, "Yixue,st night, did you and him..."


    Yixue, with a shy expression, still nodded her head, "Yes!"


    Things moved fast!


    Yu Linglong nced at Ye Fan, feeling that he really lucked out.


    Seven stunning beauties, all willing to marry Ye Fan without any regrets. Yu Linglong was actually curious, what was she thinking at the time?


    Perhaps, deep down inside, she wasn''t against the idea of being with Ye Fan?


    "Sister Linglong, are you going to sleep with me tonight? It will be veryfortable!" Ye Fan said while walking over, and once again embraced Yu Linglong, his hand boldly stroking her buttock.


    Hum!


    This Yu Linglong threatened to chop him up, but he needed to collect some interest, right?


    Anyway, now that he''s in the state of a fool, even if he does something, no one will care.


    "Ah! What are you randomly touching?" Yu Linglong stiffened up as Ye Fan touched her, "Go touch Yixue, I am leaving!"


    Feeling hot all over, Yu Linglong quickly got up, bid farewell to Su Yixue and Ye Fan, and left hurriedly.


    This Ye Fan, still in a befuddled state, was so restless.


    If he awoke, wouldn''t she be terribly bullied?


    Hum!


    I will definitely practice my Martial Arts, so you won''t be able to defeat me!


    Watching Yu Linglong''s frantic escape, a pleasing arc formed on the corners of Ye Fan''s mouth. Competing with the young master? I will surely whip you into submission!


    Everyone had left, and Su Yixue turned to Ye Fan with a flushed face, "It''s gettingte, hurry up and get ready to sleep!"


    Even though thepany''s affairs were troubling her, Su Yixue still hadn''t forgotten her mission.


    That was to make the Ye Family flourish and prosper!


    Fertilend naturally requires sowing in order to flourish and prosper, huh.


    "Okay! Sleep, I love sleeping!" Ye Fan picked up Su Yixue by the waist in one swift motion and quickly headed for the bedroom.


    "Ah! Xiao Fan, be gentle..."


    For a moment, sounds not suitable for children echoed from the room, until after a session of stormy passion; peace resumed nearly two hourster.


    By then, it was already past eleven at night.


    Ye Fan hadn''t forgotten that there was another spectacle tonight that required his spice.


    Some wanted to spend 20 billion to kill him and his grandfather in Cloud City, and Ye Fan already had a rough guess as to who it might be.


    If it was the person he suspected, then tonight, Ye Fan would make sure they wouldn''t return.


    Looking at the sleeping Su Yixue on the bed, Ye Fan quietly got up, dressed, and avoiding the bodyguards around the vi, quickly made his way outside.


    Outside the vi, Xia Hao had been waiting in the car, "Young Master Ye!"


    "To the Central Bridge of Cloud City!"


    Tonight at the Central Bridge of Cloud City, Ye Fan had arranged to meet two groups of people.


    One was of course the mysterious employer who wanted to spend 20 billion on an assassination, while the other was the Wang Family of Cloud City!


    During the day, Ye Fan had taken care of Wang Chao, and Wang Zhong and his people must be crazed.


    If they found out at night about the person who kidnapped their son, they would surely act recklessly without a care for their lives.


    At that moment, let them fight like dogs; Ye Fan would be very pleased to silently eliminate both enemies.


    As the car was nearing the Central Bridge of Cloud City, Ye Fan could already feel the fluctuating aura from afar; many people were hidden around the bridge.


    These people were none other than the assassins arranged by Wang Zhong.


    "Patriarch, we have been waiting all night! Are the kidnappersing or not?" A bodyguard from the Wang Familyined, annoyed, "We''ve been hungry all night, and now we''re so sleepy!"


    "Damn it, are you looking for death? How have I been treating you normally? Now that I ask you to do something, you start to grumble?" Wang Zhong kicked his subordinate furiously, very angry.


    Ding-dong!


    Suddenly, Wang Zhong''s phone received a message, "Dad! I think I''m not going to make it, they want to kill me... I''ve put the phone in the kidnapper''s pocket, you must avenge me..."


    Attached was also a photo of Wang Chao being beaten up beyond recognition in a KTV.


    "Ah! Son of a bitch, call them, don''t stop calling, I''ll find that bastard and hack him to pieces!"


    Of course, all this was orchestrated by Ye Fan from behind the scenes!


    After doing these things, Ye Fan turned off Wang Chao''s phone again, then set it to automatically turn on after ten minutes.


    Just after finishing, Ye Fan saw a familiar car drive by.


    It was Xu Jian''s son, Xu Dong''s car, a shy red Ferrari!


    Was it him?


    A dark shadow crossed Ye Fan''s face although he already had a hunch. Yet, when the truth was confirmed, Ye Fan still felt a chill in his heart...


    Usually, Grandfather treated Xu Jian and Xu Dong extremely well, truly as if they were his own son and grandson. And yet, Xu Dong actually plotted to spend 20 billion to kill him and Grandfather!


    So he could then rightfully inherit Ye Corporation?


    Hmph!


    If that''s the case, don''t me me for being ruthless!

 Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Do I still have a chance?

    "Just wait here for me!" Ye Fan instructed Xia Hao, then with a sh of his body, he dashed out from behind the flowerbed and blocked Xu Dong''s car.


    "Goddammit! Are you trying to get yourself killed... Don''t you have eyes to see the road?" Xu Dong, who was looking at the navigation, was startled to find someone blocking his way. He rolled down his window and started cursing loudly.


    However, as soon as Xu Dong realized it was Ye Fan blocking his way, he was momentarily stunned, "Ye Fan? Is that you, you damned fool? What the heck are you doing out here in the dead of night?"


    Xu Dong stopped the car and looked at Ye Fan curiously.


    Hadn''t Su Yixue taken Ye Fan home after yesterday''s incident?


    God damn it!


    That idiot Ye Fan has some serious luck!


    Even though he''s practically aplete idiot, somehow, seven sisters-inw have taken a liking to him and all want to marry him. Why don''t such good things ever happen to Laotzu?


    Isn''t Laotzu also a member of the Ye Family?


    It''s the middle of the night, and instead of being at Su Yixue''s home, what the hell is Ye Fan doing loitering out here?


    "Ah! Brother Dong, that''s great, Brother Dong... I can''t find my way home, I''m starving to death. Please, could you take me home?" Ye Fan approached and grabbed Xu Dong''s arm, shaking it while looking utterly pitiable.


    Xu Dong looked at Ye Fan with some skepticism. Was that really what was happening?


    Getting lost!


    For a normal person, it might not be a big deal, but Ye Fan had the intelligence of a young child, so it seemed quite normal that he would be lost.


    "Get the hell away from me! I''m busy right now. Don''t have time to deal with you!" Xu Dong, somewhat disgusted, shoved Ye fan away. The clock was approaching midnight, and Xu Dong had a meeting at the Central Bridge of Cloud City with that mysterious expert.


    Xu Dong had always dreamt of killing Ye Fan, and now, in this deste ce, it indeed seemed like a perfect opportunity to do so.


    But Xu Dong feared there could be other bodyguards silently watching Ye Fan, and ultimately, he didn''t dare to make his move.


    "Brother Dong, please, I''m begging you. Could you take me back home, or at least call my grandfather to pick me up?" Ye Fan fixed his gaze on Xu Dong, asking for help, giving them both a chance.


    If Xu Dong still had a hint of kindness, if he would just make a call to his grandfather, or take Ye Fan home, Ye Fan would spare his life.


    But, unfortunately for Xu Dong, he had long wanted Ye Fan dead. Now, with Ye Fan right there and his meeting with the mysterious expert imminent, wouldn''t it be incredibly convenient to act?


    "Heh heh! Okay... you silly fool, just wait here obediently for me. I''ll quickly find someone to take you home, okay?" Xu Dong''s face revealed a sneer as he thought about how after Ye Fan and Ye Changfeng were dead, he would own all the Ye Family assets. How wonderful those days offort and glory would be.


    He resolved that once he had the power, he would take all seven of Ye Fan''s sisters-inw for himself to enjoy thoroughly!


    Whir!


    As soon as Xu Dong finished speaking, he floored the elerator, flinging Ye Fan''s arm away and drove off towards the Central Bridge of Cloud City. He muttered under his breath, "Idiot! Just wait there to die. Once I meet that mysterious assassin, I''ll send you off to the Western Paradise to meet your brothers!"


    Although Xu Dong''s voice was low, Ye Fan with his acute hearing still heard every word clearly.


    Ye Fan''s expression darkened, This is what you brought upon yourself, so you can''t me me!


    During the time Xu Dong was momentarily distracted, Ye Fan had managed to slip Wang Chao''s phone into Xu Dong''s pocket.


    Once the Wang Family discovered that Wang Chao''s phone was on Xu Dong, even with a hundred mouths, Xu Dong would likely be unable to exin it away.


    "Let''s go! We''re going to watch the show!"


    Ye Fan got into Xia Hao''s car and signaled Xia Hao to drive over, finding a perfect spot to observe. Hidden behind the bushes, they watched quietly.


    Under the dim streetlights!


    After Xu Dong arrived at the location, he got out of the car and looked around, somewhat puzzled, and shouted, "Boss, you asked me to meet you, and I''m here! Where are you?"


    At this moment, Wang Zhong and his men, hidden in the surroundings, were bewildered by the sudden appearance of Xu Dong.


    "The Ye Family''s adopted grandson Xu Dong? What is he doing here sote?" Wang Zhong asked his subordinates with a hint of confusion.


    "We don''t know! But it seems like he''s here to meet some big shot, could it be that he haspleted some task given by that big shot?" Wang Zhong''s subordinate sessfully guided Wang Zhong''s thoughts towards harming Xu Dong.


    "Who told you to make calls, what are you doing, don''t stop, okay? Xiao Chao said, at midnight, the kidnapper will definitelye to the Central Bridge of Cloud City, his cell phone is on him, we can definitely find him!"


    "Yes, Patriarch!"


    Behind Wang Zhong, a group of subordinates continued to dial Wang Chao''s number.


    "We''re sorry, the number you have dialed is turned off!"


    "We''re sorry, the number you have dialed is turned off!"


    Several attempts in a row, Wang Chao''s phone showed it was constantly off.


    When another subordinate made the fifth call, the phone suddenly indicated that it had connected!


    "Beep!"


    The subordinate immediately jumped up, "Patriarch, the phone is connected! The young master''s phone isn''t turned off anymore!"


    "Above the moon, I gaze up!"


    At the same time, in the open space in the middle of the Central Bridge of Cloud City, Xu Dong''s body suddenly resounded with the ringtone of a cell phone.


    "Huh? What''s going on? Why do I suddenly have an extra cell phone on me?" Xu Dong curiously took the phone out and saw the iing call, then answered directly, "Hey, who the fuck is this?"


    "Son of a bitch, it turned out to be that bastard, Xu Dong! Damn it, this bastard kidnapped Xiao Chao and even killed him�� Everyone, attack!"


    Wang Zhong, hiding in the dark, watched and listened to all of Xu Dong''s words and actions, clearly and distinctly.


    With the phone on Xu Dong, and Wang Chao''sst message stating clearly that before he was killed, he had ced the phone on the kidnapper, was this proof that Xu Dong was the kidnapper, the murderer of his own son Wang Chao?


    A grandson adopted by the Ye Family, daring to touch someone from the Wang Family?


    Hmph!


    Whoosh!


    Before the call was even disconnected, Xu Dong saw countless bodyguards wielding machetes rushing out from the woods and behind the bushes, frightening him so much that he shuddered and tried to flee.


    But at this moment, Wang Zhong had already tightly surrounded the area, and Xu Dong had absolutely no way to escape.


    "Boss Wang? Ah! It''s you... What''s all this for, did something happen?" When Xu Dong saw Wang Zhong appear, he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    On regr days, due to some business dealings, Xu Dong and Wang Zhong had met a few times. Although their rtionship wasn''t too good, at least they knew each other.


    Moreover, out of respect for the Ye Family, the other party was somewhat inclined to show some courtesy.


    "Cut the crap and beat him to death for me!" As Wang Zhong shouted, he was the first to strike Xu Dong on the head with a baton, immediately causing Xu Dong''s blood to flow, "Motherfucker, what do you think you are, daring to kidnap my son? And you killed him, what do you think you are!"

 Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Xu Dong, Too Upset to Cry!

    ```


    Bang bang bang!


    Ye Fan''s bodyguards swarmed him, punching and kicking in a frenzy. In an instant, Xu Dong''s face turned ck and blue, and his ribs and arms were smashed into several pieces.


    Hearing Xu Dong cussing and swearing, Xu Dong finally understood!


    The Young Master of the Wang Family, Wang Chao, was dead, and it was somehow his own doing �C had he abducted and then killed him?


    But he had been soaking in thepany of beauties all afternoon at home, and it wasn''t until tonight that he came here to meet that assassin boss. When would he have had the time to abduct Wang Chao? Besides, he bore no grudge against Wang Chao, so why would he kidnap and kill him?


    Furthermore, ording to what Xu Dong knew, Wang Chao had even sent people to attack Su Yixue that afternoon.


    By all ounts, Wang Chao should have been considered his ally!


    "Stop! Wait a second, Boss Wang�� Isn''t there some misunderstanding here? I''ve never even met Wang Chao. Where would I go to abduct him? Ouch..."


    Enduring the intense pain, Xu Dong crawled out of the crowd, wailing towards Wang Zhong, "Boss Wang, please don''t wrongly use an innocent man!"


    Looking at the beaten and disfigured Xu Dong, Wang Zhong snorted coldly, snatching Wang Chao''s mobile phone from Xu Dong''s hand, "Wrongly use you? Hmph! What''s this then?"


    "This is Wang Chao''s phone. Thest message told me that the kidnappers were going to kill him, and that he''d put the phone on the kidnapper''s body! What excuse do you have now?"


    Wang Zhong''s words left Xu Dong utterly baffled, "Right, why is the phone on me?"


    Damn it!


    Xu Dong felt like not even jumping into the Yellow River could clear his name!


    He had clearly been at home all afternoon and hadn''t gone anywhere. Out of the blue, his possessions included an extra mobile phone. He had left home wearing freshly changed clothes which had just been washed; there couldn''t have been anything else on him.


    On his way here, his car hadn''t even stopped. The only person he''d met was the idiot Ye Fan!


    Thinking of Ye Fan, a thought shed through Xu Dong''s mind. Recalling how Ye Fan had hugged him earlier, he figured it out!


    It must have been Ye Fan''s doing!


    "Boss Wang, it was Ye Fan! It must have been Ye Fan who killed Wang Chao and then framed me. On my way here, I only came across Ye Fan!" Xu Dong hurriedly exined.


    In his mind, he also pieced together the recent events: the sudden annihtion of the Zhao Family, the rescue of Su Yixue. All these actions seemed very suspicious!


    Previously, Xu Dong did not understand why things had escted the way they had; those families against the Ye Family seemed to end up with bad fates. But in that moment, Xu Dong thought that maybe Ye Fan had awakened.


    All of this was likely Ye Fan''s covert revenge.


    "Ye Fan, that idiot, framing you? Hmph! Xu Dong, do you have no shame? If you want a scapegoat, at least find a convincing one! Ye Fan, that idiot, can''t even take care of himself, let alone kill someone," Wang Zhong stepped forward, grabbing Xu Dong by the neck, his teeth gritted with rage, "Tell me, where have you hidden my son''s body? Why did you kill him?"


    Xu Dong''s neck was squeezed so tightly he could barely breathe, "Boss Wang, I really didn''t kill anyone! It wasn''t me... cough cough..."


    "You''re still damn lying! You think I won''t strangle you right here!" Wang Zhong was livid, increasing the pressure on his grip; Xu Dong''s face turned crimson and his eyes bulged out.


    Almost instinctively, Xu Dong pulled out a dagger from his body and shed at Wang Zhong''s arm.


    Thud!


    A gash instantly opened on Wang Zhong''s arm, blood gushing out.


    "Ah! You little bastard, not content with just killing Wang Chao, you want to kill me too? You''re asking for it!" Completely enraged, Wang Zhong cursed out loud while he mmed Wang Chao onto the ground. Then snatching a battle saber from one of his subordinates, he hacked towards Xu Dong, "This is for touching my son, for killing my son!"


    Thud! Thud!


    One sh, two shes��


    ```


    "Boss Wang, don''t chop anymore, it really wasn''t me..."


    "It really wasn''t me, you''ve all been deceived by Ye Fan... wuu..."


    At first, Xu Dong still had the strength to shout, but faced with Wang Zhong''s frenzied swinging of the battle saber, it only took a moment for Xu Dong''s body to be covered in open, gaping wounds, his blood flowing all over the ground. Xu Dong was already exhaling more than he was inhaling.


    His body convulsed a few times on the spot before bingpletely motionless.


    Exhausted from chopping, Wang Zhong finally stopped his actions and copsed onto the ground, bursting into tears, "My son, your father is useless, he still hasn''t found where your body is hidden! But rest assured, if Xu Dong dared to kill you, there must be an aplice, I will definitely not let that bastard Xu Jian off..."


    A fierce light shed in Wang Zhong''s eyes, "Send someone to find out Xu Jian''s location, Laotzu wants to tear him to pieces!"


    "Yes!"


    Wang Zhong''s men were very efficient, and quickly cleaned up the scene, after which Wang Zhong prepared to take his men and leave.


    Hiding in the shadows, Xia Hao, following Ye Fan and watching the scene unfold, understood everything after seeing Ye Fan''s earlier actions.


    A masterful strategy of using another''s hand to deal the killing blow!


    Ye Fan must have nted the cell phone on Xu Dong when he went to find him.


    Then, utilizing the Wang Family''s methods to deal with Xu Dong and his son, he could effortlessly remove the threat within the Ye Family without lifting a finger.


    Xu Jian and his son had secretly nned to take control of Ye Corporation. Xia Hao, upon discovering this, was hesitant to tell Ye Fan, but now seeing Ye Fan''s actions, it was clear he had known about it all along.


    "Did you get it all on camera?" Ye Fan withdrew his gaze and asked Xia Hao.


    Xia Hao put away his phone and nodded, "It''s all very clear, I''ve already edited out some unnecessary scenes on the spot!"


    Ye Fan''s mouth twitched, "Find a stranger and send this video to Xu Jian! Let them continue to fight like dogs!"


    If Xu Jian wasn''t warned in advance, Wang Zhong might just rush over and kill Xu Jian too quickly, which would be no fun at all.


    Ye Fan wanted at least to let Xu Jian struggle a bit, expose the forces of his legitimate line, then die. That way, the troubles within Ye Corporation would be greatly reduced afterwards!


    "Okay!"


    Xia Hao responded with a sound and turned to drive Ye Fan back home.


    Right now, Ye Fan was still outwardly in a foolish state, and had to return to Su Yixue''s ce before daylight.


    In the car, Ye Fan took out a porcin bottle from his person and handed it to Xia Hao, "These are some elixirs I''ve concocted before, which could help you enhance your strength to break through, into the Martial Arts Control Realm!"


    "Ah? Thank you, Young Master Ye, thank you!" Xia Hao, who was already in his fifties or sixties, had barely stepped into the Energy-Transforming Stage of martial arts, which was already very difficult. Without some other fortuitous encounter, it was almost impossible for Xia Hao to make any further breakthroughs.


    Xia Hao also knew that with the help of elixirs, the chances of breaking through could be increased.


    But the problem was, alchemists were absolutely scarce resources in Great Xia. There were less than ten masters in the entire Great Xia who could independently concoct Grade Two Elixirs. Ordinary people couldn''t buy these elixirs, no matter how much money they offered.


    "There are five pills inside, give one to Lord Hu, and as for the rest, you decide how to distribute them. But do not expose me! Being too weak while working for me just won''t do!" Ye Fan quickly instructed.


    Xia Hao nodded earnestly, "Yes! What about Young Master Wang..." Xia Hao was about to ask about Wang Fugui, but thinking that as Ye Fan''s close buddy, Ye Fan must have considered him.


    "Old Wang?" Mentioning Wang Fugui, a profound look shed in Ye Fan''s eyes, "If everything goes ording to n, Cloud City will have another grandmaster-level powerhouse tomorrow!"


    A small smile appeared on Ye Fan''s lips, the Vitality Pill he had acquired from the ck market should be effective!


    Meanwhile, back in the Wang Family Courtyard, Wang Fugui who had returned home, had already started taking action...

 Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Wang Fugui Breaks Through to Grandmaster!

    Wang Fugui had arranged triple the usual number of guards and bodyguards outside the Wang Family Courtyard today!


    Elder Ye had already gone to Old Ye''s house to drink, so nobody was watching Wang Fugui.


    After Wang Fugui entered the Wang Family''s secret chamber and repeatedly made sure all doors and windows were securely closed, he finally took out the Vitality Pill from his embrace and ced it on the table in front of him, scrutinizing it carefully, feeling the surging energy inside the Vitality Pill, along with its overbearing medicinal power.


    "Big brother, ah, big brother�� Is it really just good luck that you bought a stone for fifty thousand at the ck market and it actually concealed a Vitality Pill?" Wang Fugui murmured to himself, "Or did you want my strength to increase a bit more, so I could protect you?"


    Faced with the Vitality Pill, Wang Fugui thought a lot.


    "Forget it! No matter what, with this Vitality Pill, I will definitely break through to the Grandmaster Realm, I must break through to the Grandmaster Realm!"


    Wang Fugui was only in his twenties, such a young Grandmaster, in the entire Great Xia, besides Ye Fan, there were only a few.


    His future was boundless, and breaking through to the Martial Venerable Realm or even the Martial Emperor Realm in the future was possible.


    With this foundation, even if the Ye Family waspletely crushed, relying on the power of the Wang Family and the old forces of the Ye Family, protecting his big brother and the sisters-inw thoroughly was not a big problem.


    Once a big brother, always a big brother!


    In Wang Fugui''s eyes, no matter what happened to Ye Fan, he would always be his eternal big brother!


    Hesitating for a moment, Wang Fugui reached out, put the Vitality Pill into his mouth, and swallowed it down.


    This Vitality Pill was too ostentatious; if the news got out, countless people woulde to snatch it at all costs. The current power of the Wang Family couldn''t protect it.


    Keeping it in one''s stomach, aiding oneself to break through, that was the most secure way.


    On the other hand, seeing the current misery of the Ye Family, Wang Fugui also wanted to do something for his big brother.


    Once he became a Grandmaster, he would at least have the power to fight when facing real experts.


    The elixir pill melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current, rushing towards Wang Fugui''s limbs through his throat. The strong energy and Qi Force instantly made Wang Fugui unable to help but start howling loudly!


    "Ah!"


    Bearing the intense pain, Wang Fugui began to forcefully calm himself down, absorbing the powerful energy contained in the elixir pill, impacting his meridians, and quickly gathering and elevating his Martial Arts Qi!


    Wang Fugui''s Martial Breath was visibly improving at a noticeable speed, and his entire being''s aura was constantly changing, his skin became more resilient, and his physique stronger...


    At that moment, the flow of wind and cloud within the range of Cloud City began to surge!


    Ye Fan, who had returned home, was already lying beside Su Yixue, sensing the fluctuations in the energy flow of Cloud City, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Old Wang must be about to seed in his breakthrough, and he would have another great help in the future!


    Ye Fan fell into a drowsy sleep too!


    But in a hotel in Cloud City, Yu Linglong, lying in bed, couldn''t sleep at all!


    Because she discovered that a warm current had suddenly appeared in her body!


    And that warm current was nourishing her meridians and the core of her body... actually quietly enhancing her Root Bone and Martial Arts Qi.


    It was simply too miraculous!


    But after carefully recalling the events, Yu Linglong finally confirmed that the warm current emerged after Ye Fan touched her bottom.


    Yu Linglong couldn''tprehend how just an intimate contact with Ye Fan could cause her body to gain a warm current, and how those currents entered her body?


    If she could enhance her Martial Arts Qi, then what about Ye Fan himself?


    When she considered Ye Fan''s terrifying talent, Yu Linglong suddenly entertained a possibility. Ye Fan had broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm at the age of fifteen, something that wasn''t possible at a normal rate of cultivation.


    Had she discovered Ye Fan''s biggest secret?


    Since I could detect Ye Fan''s secret, could Su Yixue have discovered it as well? I''ll have to ask her about it tomorrow!


    However, there is another important issue: does Xuan Yufei not know about Ye Fan''s secret? Otherwise, Xuan Yufei would not have foolishly divorced Ye Fan!


    As the youngest Valkyrie of Great Xia, Yu Linglong had also been promoted to the Martial Master Realm. But due to her innate talents and root bone, Yu Linglong had been stuck at the Martial Arts Grandmaster level for a long time, without any progress.


    It seemed like her cultivation path had reached its end!


    But now, through her close contact with Ye Fan, her strength and root bone could improve. So, with enough contact, might she be able to progress toward the Martial Venerable, even the Martial Emperor Realm?


    Thinking about reaching that level of strength, her future would inevitably be at another realm!


    And, with such strength, some people probably wouldn''t say anything about her anymore, right?


    Having realized all this, Yu Linglong had made up her mind. In that case, she would just have to get in touch with Ye Fan more in the future.


    That bad guy who wants to take advantage, let him take it!


    Sigh!


    After all, sooner orter, she was going to be his!


    ��


    A silent night passed!


    The next day, when Ye Fan woke up, Su Yixue was still snuggled in his arms, fast asleep.


    Although intimate contact with Ye Fan could indeed bring about a warm flow of feedback and was beneficial for nourishing and enhancing her body.


    In just two days of being together, Su Yixue''s Martial Breath had already broken through the Energy Transformation phase, making a dash toward the Control Realm.


    Unfortunately, Ye Fan''sbat strength was just too strong, and since Su Yixue''s body was that of an ordinary person, she couldn''t withstand it, thus needing to sleep through the night after each bout.


    Feeling somewhat distressed, Ye Fan ced his palm on Su Yixue''s waist and quietly circted his Martial Breath, channeling the Vitality Force into her body, helping to nourish and cultivate her physique.


    Only when Su Yixue''s eyshes fluttered a few times, signaling she was about to wake up, did Ye Fan withdraw his hand.


    "Ah! You''re already awake!" Su Yixue opened her eyes and caught Ye Fan''s intense gaze.


    The nket slipped off her neck, exposing a glimpse of alluring, fair skin on her chest.


    Even though they had been intimate, Su Yixue still felt embarrassed being stared at like that by Ye Fan, "Don''t look!"


    While speaking, Su Yixue reached out to cover Ye Fan''s eyes, but her movement caused even more of the nket to slip off, almost fully revealing her chest to Ye Fan, which made her scream in rm.


    Even with Ye Fan''s strongposure, he couldn''t resist such a provocation.


    Immediately, he pinned Su Yixue down and gave her a morning exercise, only allowing her to get up after.


    Su Yixue''splexion was flushed. ncing at her phone to check the time, she suddenly became anxious and started looking for her clothes, "Oh no! There''s not enough time. Today, Su Corporation is also holding a press conference, I have to go to thepany right now! It''s all your fault..."


    Su Yixue red cutely at Ye Fan, but thinking about Ye Fan''s performance over the past few days, she was still quite satisfied.


    Although Ye Fan looked naive on the surface, at least in that aspect, he was very impressive�� with control over pace and intensity, he did me quite well!


    Is Ye Fan really still a fool?


    No one ever taught Ye Fan those things; how could he be so good at it?


    Before Ye Fan could reply, Wang Fugui''s cries suddenly sounded from outside Su Yixue''s residence, "Big Brother! Are you awake? Sister-inw, hurry and get dressed, I have something important to report to you!"

 Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Yu Linglong Suspects Ye Fans Awakening!

    Wang Fugui''s words once again made Su Yixue''s face turn a shade of embarrassed red.


    Totally mortifying!


    That Wang Fugui, really, had no sense of reservation at all.


    Hurriedly getting ready, when Ye Fan and Su Yixue came down to the lobby, Wang Fugui had already been excitedly pacing back and forth in the living room.


    Seeing Ye Faning down, he rushed over, grabbed Ye Fan''s hand, "Big brother! I''ve broken through, I''ve also reached the Grandmaster Realm... Haha! Thanks to the stone you bought yesterday, the Vitality Pill inside helped me finally break through to the Grandmaster Realm! Big brother, now I finally have enough strength to protect you!"


    Wang Fugui was beaming with excitement, which Ye Fan had sensed the night before.


    Given that Ye Fan''s current identity was that of a fool, he didn''t act too excited, "Grandmaster? What''s that, can you eat it?"


    Ye Fan intentionally asked a silly question, leaving Su Yixue and Wang Fugui both speechless.


    "No! Big brother, the Grandmaster Realm is like being really good at fighting... Big brother, five years ago, when you were at your peak, you were also at the Grandmaster Realm! Hehe, now my strength is enough topete with you from five years ago..." Wang Fugui was full of excitement!


    Because he had always been with Ye Fan, Ye Fan''s monstrous talent overshadowed Wang Fugui��not just by a single level, but by several.


    Surpassing Ye Fan had always been Wang Fugui''s ultimate goal in his heart.


    Watching Wang Fugui''s excited demeanor, Ye Fan inwardly chuckled softly.


    You? Now you still want topete with me? I could thrash you with one hand tied behind my back!


    As you''re progressing, I''m also getting stronger, alright!


    As they spoke, Yu Linglong also arrived.


    Upon entering, she immediately noticed the change in Wang Fugui''s aura, "Young Master Wang, did you break throughst night?"


    Yu Linglong stared at Wang Fugui with a look of amazement.


    When she met Wang Fugui at the airport yesterday, she sensed that he was merely at the Control Realm, showing no signs of a breakthrough whatsoever.


    And yet, in just one night, Wang Fugui had actually broken through to the Grandmaster Realm?


    When did the Grandmaster Realm be somon and cheap?


    "Yes! I broke through, all thanks to the stone big brother bought yesterday!" Wang Fugui was very clear that his breakthrough was entirely due to that Vitality Pill, otherwise, with his talent, he might have had to wait until he was sixty!


    "A stone? What stone? What exactly happened?" Yu Linglong furrowed her brows, too many things had happened in Cloud City over just a few days since the Ye Family was annihted.


    The Zhao Family wiped out, Eldest Young Master Wang killed, Su Yixue attacked... Xia Hao and Li Hu followed life and death... Li Yunyang suddenly burst to death, and now Wang Fugui suddenly became a Grandmaster after getting that stone...


    Yu Linglong always felt something was amiss!


    It seemed as if an invisible hand was controlling everything. Those who opposed the Ye Family ended up with grim fates, and those who got on good terms with the Ye Family received tremendous benefits.


    Yu Linglong had always suspected that Ye Fan had awakened, but had no proof.


    "That stone, yesterday we spent fifty thousand on it, big brother looked at a lot of stuff, but in the end, he insisted on that stone... I only bought it... Later, big brother actually wanted to eat the stone raw, and when the stone fell to the ground... That''s when we saw the elixir inside..."


    Listening to Wang Fugui''s detailed description and his repeated emphasis, Ye Fan couldn''t help but smile bitterly in his heart.


    This numbskull!


    Fearing others might not know, you described it so vividly; Yu Linglong with such meticulous thoughts would definitely be suspicious!


    These minor details, deceiving Su Yixue, perhaps could be casually handled.


    But Yu Linglong, as the elder sister-inw and also the youngest Valkyrie in Great Xia, might not be so easy to fool.


    "Ye Fan actually made you eat that stone raw?" Yu Linglong''s eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her breathing started to quicken.


    Could it really be such a coincidence?


    Inside the very stone Ye Fan insisted on buying, there were elixir pills, and he even insisted on Wang Fugui swallowing them?


    Only someone as dull as Wang Fugui wouldn''t think twice about it!


    ording to Yu Linglong''s deduction, Ye Fan was intentionally ying dumb, finding a way to help his brother enhance his strength!


    "Ye Fan, tell me the truth! Have you really awakened? Was the annihtion of the Zhao Family nned by you? Was Li Yunyang''s death caused by you, and saving Mr. Lei yesterday..."


    Yu Linglong''s whole aura exploded, she took two steps forward, and the atmosphere in the whole room became somewhat oppressive.


    Ye Fan, looking at his future wife, also felt a wave of bitterness in his heart.


    Sometimes, a woman being too smart isn''t such a good thing.


    "Kill... I''m scared... Who would kill..." Ye Fan pretended to be very weak, hiding behind Su Yixue.


    Su Yixue, seeing Ye Fan''s appearance, felt a pang of heartache and interrupted Yu Linglong, "Big sister! Don''t be too hard on Xiao Fan... The night the Zhao Family was wiped out, Ye Fan was with me; he didn''t have the chance to do it! And when Ye Fan was at home alone, there were bodyguards arranged by the Ye Family, and also bodyguards I arranged, all protecting Ye Fan 24 hours a day. They never saw Ye Fan leave the house; how could he have done it?"


    "Yeah! Sister-inw, I''ve always suspected that the big brother had already awakened! But big brother has always been with me; he didn''t have the chance to do so many things!" Wang Fugui also chimed in to help.


    "Is that so?" Yu Linglong, listening to their words, grew even more puzzled.


    If Ye Fan had no chance to act, who then was the expert that appeared in Cloud City?


    Was it just a coincidence?


    But then Yu Linglong realized, no matter whether Ye Fan had awakened or was still feigning ignorance, it wasn''t a bad thing, either for the Ye Family or everyone else.


    Yu Linglong took a deep look at Ye Fan and continued, "Ye Fan! No matter what state you''re in right now... don''t forget, we are all your wives, hmph... if you dare to treat us badly, I definitely won''t let you off!"


    Although she was scolding him, by the end, Yu Linglong''s words had a hint of coquettishness.


    Thinking about the tragic situation of the Ye Family, Yu Linglong felt another surge of heartache!


    Pitiful Ye Fan, clearly already awakened, but still had to continue ying dumb for the sake of the Ye Family, how pitiful!


    With that in mind, Yu Linglong stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Ye Fan.


    The instant their skin made contact, another current of warmth surged into Yu Linglong''s body, nourishing her while rapidly enhancing her Martial Arts Qi!


    Indeed, Ye Fan''s body was the most special cauldron!


    As long as she had close contact with Ye Fan, she could gain that miraculous warmth, and Yu Linglong was almost certain that while she benefited, Ye Fan would definitely benefit as well.


    Otherwise, it was impossible for Ye Fan''s strength to improve so quickly!


    "Yixue, I have a secret question for you!" Yu Linglong, somewhat excited, pulled Su Yixue aside, her face blushed, she wanted to speak, hesitated for a long while, still a bit embarrassed...

 Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Su Yixues Worries!

    How should such a matter be addressed by an unwed maiden?


    Should she ask, ''When you were sleepingst night, what did it feel like to use those positions?''


    But realizing that this rted to the special nature of Ye Fan''s body, and also to her own future progress on the Martial Arts path, Yu Linglong steeled her resolve and asked, "Yixue,st night when you were intimate with Ye Fan, did you feel anything unusual? I mean... after Ye Fan was close to you, did you feel a surge of warmth?"


    No sooner had Yu Linglong finished speaking than Su Yixue looked at her, utterly shocked, and said, "Sister Linglong, you felt it too? It''s truly amazing, look at me... I practically had no Martial Arts foundation, but now I''ve already entered the Martial Arts Transforming Qi Stage..."


    As she spoke, Su Yixue picked up a steel cup from the table and squeezed it lightly. The cup immediately deformed into a lump of scrap metal, and when she channeled her Qi Force, it reverted back to its original shape.


    "This..."


    Yu Linglong stared at Su Yixue with a face full of amazement!


    Yu Linglong was, of course, aware of Su Yixue''s situation.


    Was this girl, who had been just an ordinary girl before, so powerful after only a few days with Ye Fan?


    It seemed her feelings were not wrong!


    Ye Fan really was extraordinary!


    Dering to marry Ye Fan as a group of seven, she had initially thought it was a sacrifice, but now it seemed they had stumbled upon a treasure!


    With such a rate of improvement, everyone''s strength could soar rapidly. Even if Ye Fan remained mentally absent in the future, with these beautiful wives to protect him, the Ye Family would certainly not suffer.


    Moreover, it was not certain that Ye Fan would continue to be mentally absent.


    Hadn''t Divine Doctor Lei said that there was a good chance for Ye Fan to recover?


    "Yixue, I still have some doubts. Do you think Ye Fan has really recovered? I always feel something isn''t quite right," Yu Linglong expressed her suspicions.


    Upon hearing Yu Linglong''s words, Su Yixue''s face turned a shade of red, "Sister Linglong, actually I''ve had simr thoughts. Twice now, during those moments in bed, Ye Fan didn''t seem foolish at all..."


    She was so embarrassed by the end of her statement that she quickly found an excuse to leave. "Sister Linglong, you guys stay with Ye Fan. I have urgent matters at thepany and need to step out for a bit, let''s have lunch togetherter!"


    Today was supposed to be the day when Su Corporation would hold its new medicine release conference, but Li Yunyang had deliberately held the conference a day early and leaked Su Corporation''s most vital form.


    It was a calcted move to embarrass Su Corporation and make them look bad.


    But after the Li Family''s conference yesterday, a major incident urred at the engagement dinner in the evening.


    During the engagement dinner, Xuan Yufei unexpectedly showed up with Ye Fan, and Cloud City''s godfather Li Hu brought a Gatling gun to intimidate everyone. And most crucially, Li Yunyang dropped dead on the spot.


    Perhaps this was the Li Family''s retribution.


    "Okay!"


    After Su Yixue left, Xia Hao and Lei Qianjue arrived one after the other.


    Ye Fan and Lei Qianjue were still "treating" in the room separately.


    "Master, after I gathered all the herbsst night, I followed your instructions and sessfully produced three units! Take a look!" Lei Qianjue said, taking out a bottle from his person. Inside the bottle was a vibrant green ointment.


    As soon as the bottle was opened, a strong fragrance wafted out.


    Lei Qianjue was very excited, took out a knife, and made a cut on his arm, from which blood immediately began to flow.


    Lei Qianjue wiped the blood from the wound with a tissue, then quickly applied some ointment to the cut.


    The next moment!


    The wound on Lei Qianjue''s arm visibly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    When the ointment was wiped clean, there was no trace left on the wound, and in fact, it almost became even whiter!


    Although Lei Qianjue had gotten thoroughly drunk yesterday with Ye Changfeng and a group of old brothers, he still didn''t forget the task Ye Fan had given him and experimented overnight.


    After concocting the ointment, Lei Qianjue had already tested it several times on his own arm, engraving numerous scars upon it.


    Ye Fan picked up the bottle and took a sniff, "Not bad! It''s at eighty percent efficacy. It''s sufficient for market distribution now!"


    "Yixue is about to hold a press conference soon. You''ll use your name to take me there and let''s check out the site!" Ye Fan''s eyes shed with profundity, "I''ve almost dealt with the Cloud City Zhao Family and the Wang Family. The only one left is the Li Family, which is up against the Su Family head-on. They definitely won''t let things slide at today''s Su Family press conference!"


    "Yes!"


    Though Lei Qianjue was a big shot in the medical field, he didn''t dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Fan.


    The Zhao Family, such a massive n, wiped out just like that!


    Ye Fan was still in his foolhardy state, yet he quietly obliterated the Zhao Family, Young Master Wang disappeared, and Li Yunyang died on the spot, Ye Fan''s methods were absolutely terrifying.


    Those people who opposed the Ye Family!


    Hmph!


    They definitely wouldn''t meet a good end!


    ...


    Su Corporation!


    There was still an hour away from the press conference. Su Yixue, Su Honghai, and their second uncle Su Minghao, along with many other core members of the Su Family andpany shareholders, were all present.


    "Big brother, the press conference is about to start, and our form has been stolen. The Li Family has already released it first, what shall we do?"


    "Yes! Elder Chairman, the investigation has made it clear that the ones who stole the secret are backed by the Provincial City Liu Family. We can''t outmatch them, can we?"


    "Sigh! This is retaliation against the Su Family by those people who contended with the Ye Family. Since President Su announced her marriage to Ye Fan, they will definitely stop at nothing to suppress the Su Corporation!"


    Although yesterday at the banquet, because of Ye Fan, the Su Corporation had already reached an important cooperation with the Xia Family. With the Xia Family''s channels, Su Pharmaceutical would definitely take off.


    But the crux of the problem was, now that the Su Corporation''s form that had been developed over many years had been leaked, without a good product, even with enough channels, it was futile.


    There was still some grumbling among everyone.


    Su Honghai, who also knew the inside story, didn''t feel at liberty to say much, "Everyone! What we need to discuss now is not why the other party is targeting us, but how to resolve this issue! We discussed it all afternoon yesterday and didn''te up with any good n. Does anyone have any new ideas now?"


    Su Yixue and her father Su Honghai looked towards the people below, everyone lowered their heads, and no one stood up to speak.


    The R&D capabilities of the Su Corporation were limited to begin with, being able to develop the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill was already quite impressive. Now that the form had been stolen, what could they possibly do?


    "Unless! Right now, we have a form that is even more perfect than that one and has even greater effects! That could be enough to suppress the Li Family''s prominence and regain the advantage!"


    "But how is that possible? We, the Su Corporation, simply can''t develop it, and if any otherpany could, they would haveunched it into the market already, wouldn''t they have waited until today?"


    Su Yixue, amidst the discussion of everyone, ultimately let out a helpless sigh, "Let it be! Even though our form has been stolen, as long as we release a new form, we can still upy a portion of the market! Let''s try to ovee this difficult situation first!"


    Although Su Yixue said this, she was still very worried inside.


    While the Su Corporation had developed a new form, the patent procedures in various aspects were not yet fully processed.


    If the Li Family took their form and filed for a patent first,


    Then the Su Corporation would have to obtain authorization from the Li Family if they wished to use the form in the future, otherwise, the Li Family could sue them for infringement. This was Su Yixue''s biggest concern...

 Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Strike First to Gain the Advantage!

    Su Yixue had unspoken words in her heart; those ordinary shareholders and managers couldn''t think of this point!


    But Su Honghai and her Second Uncle Su Minghao naturally could!


    But what could be done now?


    The invitations to the press conference, as well as the invited media reporters, had already arrived at the venue. Regardless of the quality of the product, something had to be presented at today''s conference.


    "Meeting adjourned!" Su Yixue rubbed her head wearily. Choosing Ye Fan was one thing, and her own dignity was another, but if she really drove the Su Corporation into the abyss, she would still feel somewhat remorseful.


    "President Su, Director Xia is here, along with Young Master Ye and Mr. Lei. They''ve all arrived!" While Su Yixue was making final preparations in her office, she suddenly heard her secretary''s greeting. "Mr. Lei said he has good news for President Su!"


    "Hmm?"


    Su Yixue was startled. Lei Qianjue was the Great Xia Medical Saint, who had previously contributed many good and affordable prescriptions to the people.


    Could it be that the Divine Doctor had some prescriptions in hand?


    Specifically to help her?


    But why would Divine Doctor Lei, a renowned figure in Great Xia, want to help her?


    Because of her elder sister Yu Linglong, or because of Ye Fan?


    After all, Xia Hao hade to help her unconditionally because of Ye Fan!


    Su Yixue couldn''t help but recall what Yu Linglong had said �C perhaps Ye Fan really had awakened and was just ying dumb in front of everyone?


    If that was the case, it would be truly embarrassing. She had been guiding Ye Fan like that just the night before yesterday, and before that, she had been Young Master Ye''s sister-inw!


    "Quickly invite them in!"


    ...


    Half an hourter, Su Corporation''s press conference officially started!


    The press conference venue was in thergest multimedia hall on the first floor of Su Corporation''s building!


    A seat size that could hold several thousand people was, surprisingly, filled to capacity.


    There were representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, channel suppliers,petitors, and some coborators.


    Of course, there were also many representatives of families and agents of power who hade to enjoy the spectacle.


    Everyone knew that after the Ye Family''s disaster, Su Yixue was one of the seven girls who had announced their continued intention to marry into the Ye Family. Everyone understood that those who opposed the Ye Family would not just let matters rest.


    If the Su Family dared to get close with the Ye Family, then the opponents would definitely take action and target the Su Corporation.


    Assassinating Su Yixue and stealing Su Corporation''s core pharmaceutical forms were among their tactics.


    Although the news was blocked, it wasn''t difficult for those super-families to find out.


    Su Yixue had narrowly escaped an assassination attempt the day before, so now with the Su Corporation''s core forms already exposed and prematurely released, what could Su Corporation do?


    Would the press conference of the Su Corporation proceed smoothly? Would the Li Family create trouble on site?


    The gazes of the crowd inevitably turned toward a designated seating area in the front, where a separate area was upied by the head of the Li Family, Li Zhong, who sat with arge group of people, looking serious with aputer in front of him.


    However, a hint of contempt could be seen on their faces, as if they held all the winning cards.


    Apart from the members of the Li Family, the Liu Family from the Provincial City had also sent representatives, who from time to time exchanged words with Li Zhong, seemingly discussing something, appearing quite self-satisfied.


    Many others in the venue hade for the spectacle, to wait and see!


    They wanted to see how the Su Corporation would respond, as well as the Ye Family''s support for the Su Corporation.


    On the surface, it appeared to be Su Corporation''s drug release event, a confrontation between the Li Family and the Su Family, but in reality, it was a sh between the Ye Family and their adversaries behind the scenes.


    "Wee to the Su Corporation''s new drug release event! Please be quiet,dies and gentlemen, the event is about to begin!" The host greeted everyone and weed the representatives who had arrived.


    To the shock of everyone present, not only had Xia Haoe to oversee the event!


    The Governor of Cloud City, Sun Qian, was there, as was Patriarch Wang, who was on good terms with the Ye Family, along with many other retired heavyweights who had made impromptu appearances. These heavy hittersmanded great prestige and status throughout Tiannan Province and the Southwestern Region!


    Never having participated in amercial event before, their presence at the Su Corporation''s event clearly signified support for the Su Family and an endorsement for the Ye Family!


    Of course, many of them were the heavyweights whom Lei Qianjue had called out for drinks the previous night.


    The sudden appearance of so many heavyweights lent an eerie atmosphere to the setting.


    The drama unfolding today seemed to be getting more and more spectacr.


    What was originally a small drug release had seemingly be a decisive moment.


    Unknown to the others, in a corner at the back row, Old Master Ye, Ye Changfeng, sat quietly with his escorts, wearing a hat.


    At such a critical moment, Su Yixue did not hesitate to step forward to salvage the reputation of the Ye Family.


    So naturally, when his daughter-inw held an event, Old Master Ye was also there to take charge.


    He wanted to see who would dare cause trouble at today''s event.


    Old Master Ye might have aged, but his authority remained intact. Many of his old military subordinates had been promoted by him!


    As long as Old Master Ye was alive, those obligations remained.


    When push came to shove, Ye Changfeng''s subordinates would still step forward without hesitation.


    "Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking the time to join us. I am Su Yixue, President of Su Corporation! I''m sure you have all heard about the release of Su Corporation''s new drug. By a stroke of luck, Cloud City Li Group, somehow, also began to secretly research a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, which is virtually identical in efficacy to Su Corporation''s, and they just happened to hold a release event yesterday..."


    As Su Yixue spoke, she turned her gaze towards Li Zhong and others in the audience.


    The Li Family''s release event had been broadcasted live all over thework through the media yesterday. Most people knew about it, and many were well aware that though the Li Family was engaged in the pharmaceutical industry, they had never been involved in the beauty industry or had any research department. How could they possibly develop a new Beauty Rejuvenation Pill in such a short time?


    It was hardly a secret that the Li Family''s form was stolen from Su Corporation.


    Everyone was there to see the spectacle, wanting to see how Su Corporation would dodge or address the issue!


    And how would the Li Family cause trouble during Su Corporation''s release event?


    Su Yixue was smart, not waiting for the Li Family to speak first but instead brought up the issue herself. Although most people were aware of the matter, there were some who did not know, and Su Yixue''s actions, at the very least, informed those unaware of the Li Family''s despicable acts so they wouldn''t be inadvertently swayed by the rhythm.


    On the other hand, by taking the offensive, Su Yixue immediately put the Li Family on the defensive.


    Li Zhong and the representatives of the Liu Family below were instantly confused!


    Why wasn''t Su Yixue following the script?


    Under normal circumstances, shouldn''t Su Yixue announce theposition, efficacy, and patent data of her new drug on stage, and then start questioning?


    But now, Su Yixue had turned her guns on the Li Family right from the start!


    A preemptive strike?


    What gave Su Yixue the right?


    Was this an attempt to flip the table directly?


    Where did she get the courage?

 Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Snow Beauty Cream! Keep Youth Forever!

    But Su Yixue had already spoken in front of thousands of people, making the situation clear!


    This was tantamount to having ignited the fuse of battle, and if Li Zhong didn''t respond, he would bepletely at a disadvantage.


    He came here today with representatives from the Liu Family specifically to disrupt the Su Corporation''s press conference. Although Li Zhong had been in a bad mood since yesterday, he now had no choice.


    Whoosh!


    As soon as Su Yixue spoke, all eyes turned to Li Zhong, waiting for his response.


    "The Li Family''s actions are truly despicable. I heard they stole the Su Family''s prescription and released it ahead of time��utterly malicious!"


    "Hmph! But doing evil things will lead to retribution. Didn''t the Li Family''s eldest son, Li Yunyang, die on the spot yesterday?"


    "I think the Ye Family has profound resources. With their support, the Su Family won''t copse so easily. The retribution for the Li Family is still toe, and there''s plenty of it!"


    Those who enjoyed watching the excitement around Li Zhong didn''t shy away from making matters worse, and the volume of their voices wasn''t held back at all.


    The pain of losing his son hadn''t even subsided, and these people deliberately stabbed at Li Zhong''s wounds several times. Li Zhong''s face instantly turned livid, and he itched to rush over and strangle those bastards.


    But now Li Zhong was on the hot seat, and he had more important things to do. No matter how annoyed he was inside, he could only bear it.


    "President Su, what do you mean by this? Are you implying that my family, the Li Family, stole your Su Family''s prescription? If that''s the case, I would ask President Su to present evidence, otherwise, please don''t nder and mislead everyone like this," Li Zhong retorted sharply, as a veteran in the business world, he immediately seized on the crux of the issue.


    Everyone knew that the Li Family had appropriated the Su Family''s prescription, but the thing was, the investigation was clear, yet there was no evidence. The key witness had disappeared, and might have already been silenced. Even if everyone knew the Li Family was guilty of theft, what could be done about it?


    The Su Family had clearly suffered a loss, but they could only grit their teeth and swallow it.


    Su Yixue frowned slightly and nced to the side. The whole scene was almost exactly as she had rehearsed with Director Xia and others in the office. Fortunately, Ye Fan and Mr. Lei and others hade, or else Su Yixue really wouldn''t know how to cope.


    "President Su! It seems you don''t have any evidence... I think it''s better you don''t me others for your own problems. Focus on your own press conference instead," Li Zhong said with a sneer.


    "However, let me be clear, I hope the new medicine you''re releasing as President Su doesn''t resemble the new medicine my Li Family released! If theposition is the same, then my Li Family has every reason to believe that you, the Su Family, have stolen our prescription and trade secrets. I will sue the Su Corporation to bankruptcy... After all, everyone knows that the Li Family''s press conference was held yesterday!"


    "Moreover, all of our prescription patents, ingredients, effects, and manufacturing processes have been fully documented! Miss Su had better be careful... Of course, there is also another option, if the Su Corporation is willing to be acquired by the Li Group, I, Li Zhong, would consider sharing the prescription with the Su Corporation! I have already prepared the contract!"


    Li Zhong rattled off a series of remarks like a machine gun, all of which were prepared in advance.


    Having said all this, Li Zhong felt much more at ease.


    While speaking, Li Zhong waved the contract in his hand. The purpose ofing today was to force the Su Corporation into a corner, either to go bankrupt or to be acquired by the Li Family, eliminating thempletely.


    Only in this way could it serve as a deterrent to other forces and families that were getting close to the Ye Family.


    Seeing the Su Corporation in a predicament made Li Zhong very pleased; the task given to him by his superiors was now halfpleted.


    All that remained was to wait quietly. If the Su Corporation still went ahead with the release of their new medicine, theposition would certainly be identical, and Li Zhong would file awsuit on the spot against the Su Corporation. With the evidence and patents in his possession, he could definitely drag down the Su Corporation.


    If the Su Corporation can''t release their new product, then today''sunch event will just be a joke. It also proves from another aspect that when the Su Family chooses to side with the Ye Family and is retaliated against, they have no ground to resist.


    The Su Family''s defeat would also mean that the Ye Family has entirely fallen from grace. Those families that are neutral would carefully consider their future interactions with the Ye Family.


    And Li Zhong would then on the spot woo over all of the Su Corporation''s clients and partners.


    Now that the Su Corporation is copsing, if the Li Family were to offer several times the terms, how would these channel partners choose?


    Even with the Xia Family''s support, it is still not enough for the Su Corporation. After all, the channel merchants under the Xia Family also need to make money and need products to promote and earn profits.


    Whatever the case, the Su Family is destined to be finished today!


    Li Zhong had calcted all the scenarios, pulling the rug from under the Su Family, leaving them with no options.


    Whoosh!


    As Li Zhong''s words ended, everyone''s gaze returned to Su Yixue on the stage.


    Everyone was curious about what Su Yixue would do.


    How exactly could the Su Family ovee this difficult hurdle?


    However, what made everyone curious was that Su Yixue on the stage, showed no signs of panic, "Patriarch of the Li Family! Doing things should still involve some conscience, otherwise, when you do something wrong, you will receive retribution!"


    With a calm remark, Su Yixue hit Li Zhong where it hurt.


    Her implication was clear: you did something wrong, so your son suddenly dropped dead yesterday.


    "Everyone, rest assured! The Su Corporation conducts itself with integrity and we will proceed with our new productunch as nned! I announce the new product developed by our Su Corporation, named Snow Beauty Cream... This product is developed based on an ancient prescription, capable of removing dark spots and rapidly healing wounds without leaving any trace..."


    As Su Yixue made the introduction, the big screen started ying some powerpoint slides hastily put together!


    The prescription''s rough ingredients,position, effects, were apletely different thing from the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill released by the Li Family.


    Moreover, from the powerpoint slides, the effects of the Snow Beauty Cream seemed much better than those of the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill. It could facilitate wound healing without any traces, which was literally a godsend for women who had cesarean sections.


    Whoa!


    Before Su Yixue could finish her introduction, the thousands of people present began to buzz.


    If Snow Beauty Cream is real, it would truly be a revolutionary product. In the beauty industry, it could definitely be a blockbuster item worth trillions... Such a miraculous ointment could easily sell for hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands per bottle, and there would be countless buyers.


    "The Su Corporation actually has another ointment to release? Are they ying a trick of deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea?"


    "Damn it! We''ve been deceived by the Su Corporation, all their previous actions were just a smokescreen!"


    "The Li Family spent so much effort on stealing secrets, and in the end, they stole loneliness!"


    While everyone was astonished, Li Zhong, his face flushed with anger, stared at his secretary and asked, "What''s going on? Didn''t you say your people had infiltrated the core management of the Su Corporation and had grasped all their secrets? Howe the Su Corporation has suddenlye out with this Snow Face Cream?"

 Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Divine Doctor Backs Up the Su Family?

    Li Zhong was furious!


    To topple the Su Corporation, Li Zhong had already spent several hundred million yuan on nurturing and bribing spies, not to mention the countless effort he had exerted.


    Even more, Li Zhong suspected that his own son had been tampered with by the Su Family.


    He had risked his own son, only to steal something so useless. It couldn''t even scratch the enemy''s foundation��How could Li Zhong not be angry?


    "President Li, this... I had no idea either. But I can guarantee one hundred percent that the prescription we got is indeed the new drug that the Su Corporation spent ten years developing! There''s definitely no mistake there, and the Su Corporation couldn''t possibly have the energy and time to develop another new drug..."


    Li Zhong''s secretary, with a puzzled face, thought rapidly, then suddenly lit up, "I get it! The Su Corporation is trying to deceive us. Their Snow Skin Ointment must be fake, just some nonsense they concocted to fool everyone... It can''t be effective..."


    Li Zhong''s secretary, Jin Yang, seemed to have stumbled upon a new continent, celebrating with joy as he couldn''t help but praise his own cleverness.


    Li Zhong himself was fully involved in the whole process of stealing the Su Corporation''s secrets. He also knew it was quite unlikely for the Su Family to develop another new drug.


    But now the Su Corporation had presented another new drug at the press conference, and there was only one exnation, that the Su Corporation was cheating everyone; the medicine couldn''t possibly be real.


    "President Su, is this medicine really as miraculous as you say? The ancient prescription you mentioned, has it been verified? Is it harmful to humans, and who will bear the consequences of the side effects?"


    In the crowd, someone had already shouted out at Su Yixue.


    In fact, Li Zhong wanted to ask the same, but since someone had spoken up, he was happy to stay quiet and just watch the drama unfold.


    Old man wants to see, Su Yixue, just how will you wriggle out of this checkmate today?


    "I..." Standing on the stage, although Su Yixue had already received a positive affirmation from Lei Qianjue, she still felt somewhat uncertain and hesitated for a moment.


    That momentary hesitation was immediately seized by the hecklers below; they began to stir the pot, "President Su, are you trying to deceive us? Saying it can heal wounds��if there was such a Divine Medicine, wouldn''t all those cosmeticpanies go bankrupt?"


    "Yeah? If anyone could im they''re using an ancient prescription to make a beauty ointment and earn money, then making money would be too easy!"


    "Fraud! Su Yixue, you''remitting fraud!"


    "Fraud! Fraud!"


    The emotions of everyone on the scene, incited by provocateurs, instantly surged, and the chanting began to crescendo.


    The scene was starting to spiral out of control.


    The distributors under the Su Corporation were all looking dejected, secretly thinking about how they might contact the Li Familyter to find an opportunity for cooperation.


    "Su Yixue, have you no shame left? How did youe up with such a clumsy method? Spreading such a big lie, isn''t it easily exposed?" Li Zhong spoke up, and the crowd below fell silent, "President Su, I think you should sell the Su Corporation to our Li Family... Hmm, two hundred and fifty thousand, I can''t offer more!"


    Li Zhong was deliberately humiliating Su Yixue.


    When Su Yixue didn''t know what to do, Ye Fan quietly touched Lei Qianjue''s arm at the side of the stage.


    Lei Qianjue knew it was his turn to step in!


    "What''s this? Who here doubts the authenticity of this prescription? Do you not believe in my medical skills, or what?" Divine Doctor Lei Qianjue, holding the mic, stepped onto the stage, instantly causing screams from the people below.


    "Ah? Is it the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue?"


    "Heavens! It''s really Old Master Lei?"


    "What does this mean, Old Master Lei''s presence suggests that he provided the ancient prescription? If that''s the case, the Snow Skin Ointment from the Su Corporation is probably real!"


    "Interesting! Today''s drama is even more exciting than a movie!"


    The noisy crowd, energized by the appearance of Lei Qianjue, was swept into another climax.


    However, the mood and attitude of the people had already begun to change.


    If it were only the Su Family iming to possess an ancient prescription, everyone would harbor doubts.


    But now, with the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue personally backing the Su Corporation, that credibility was quite sufficient.


    ```


    Is the foremost medical expert of Great Xia not persuasive enough?


    "Ladies and gentlemen! This prescription was obtained by ident, and ording to the ingredients and refining methods recorded in ancient texts, I concocted an ointmentst night. It has proven to possess the described functions��wound healing and blemish removal, with visible results in mere minutes!"


    Boom!


    Lei Qianjue was actually endorsing a new drug for the Su Corporation, and he personally attested to the ointment''s efficacy?


    What was going on?


    You should know that as a renowned Divine Doctor across Great Xia, Lei Qianjue had cured countless magnates, the wealthy, and the powerful!


    In need of money? That was simply impossible!


    Moreover, for many years, Lei Qianjue had never endorsed anymercialpany. Any good prescriptions he had were directly released online.


    Today''s public, and confident endorsement for the Su Corporation was highly abnormal!


    But the effect of Lei Qianjue''s involvement was naturally immediate!


    As Lei Qianjue''s voice fell, there was a stir among the audience. Then, the responses came rushing in: "If the Divine Doctor himself has vouched for it, I choose to trust the Su Corporation! President Su, my Hongda Pharmaceutical Company would like to coborate with the Su Corporation. How about we start with an order and a deposit of ten billion?"


    "Yuanshan Group also wishes to work with the Su Corporation; we offer a five billion deposit. Please, President Su, give us a chance!"


    "Dongfang Group..."


    In the blink of an eye, dozens ofpanies had already expressed their intent to cooperate with Su Yixue, and the initial deposit estimates were already in the hundreds of billions.


    With this funding, the development of the Su Corporation was no longer an issue. Rising to be Great Xia''s number one pharmaceuticalpany was also not a problem.


    Su Yixue looked at Lei Qianjue by her side, her eyes filled with joy yet also a touch of worry!


    As the president of a pharmaceuticalpany, Su Yixue was very aware of the difficulty in developing cosmetic ointments.


    An ointment that can heal wounds and remove blemishes? Such miraculous functions were absolutely unheard of.


    Watching the situation dramatically turn around, Li Zhong was dumbfounded!


    Hadn''t he just been mocking the Su Corporation? Was he being pped in the face so quickly?


    "Damn it! What are those in the intelligence department eating?" Li Zhong angrily kicked his secretary Jin Yang, "How could you overlook that old man Lei Qianjue?"


    With Lei Qianjue showing up, even if the ointment was a sham, most would believe it to be genuine!


    "President Li, ording to the arrangements from above, Lei Qianjue should not have appeared in Cloud City at all. So many were deployed to obstruct and assassinate Lei Qianjue, we have no idea why he''s still here now?"


    "We''ll settle thister!"


    Li Zhong red fiercely at his secretary, then straightened his throat and stood up to say loudly, "Divine Doctor Lei, it''s not that we don''t believe you! It''s just that the ointment''s effects are too astounding, and we find it hard to believe that it can heal wounds instantly. How can you prove it to us?"


    Whoosh!


    With Li Zhong speaking out to cause disruption again, all eyes turned to him.


    But on second thought, Li Zhong''s words weren''t unreasonable.


    Such an incredible ointment, was it not said to show effects within minutes? Wouldn''t demonstrating it on the spot add even more credibility?


    Prove it?


    How to prove it?


    The best way would naturally be to make a cut on the arm, apply the ointment, and if the scar disappeared within minutes, wouldn''t that be enough?


    But whose arm should they cut?


    ```

 Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Damn it! Why the hell are you cutting off my arm?

    Lei Qianjue was down to earth, instinctively wanting to pull out a dagger and sh his own arm!


    But just at that moment, Ye Fan, who was beside the stage, suddenly rushed out, snatching the dagger from Lei Qianjue''s hand, "I know, I know how to prove it! Get someone to make a cut, then apply the ointment, and see if the wound heals or not. Isn''t that proof enough whether the ointment is real or fake?"


    "Isn''t that right, Yixue, my wife?"


    Ye Fan, holding the dagger, asked Su Yixue.


    "It is indeed!" But Xiao Fan, what are you messing around for at this time?" Su Yixue said tenderly, wanting to go over and pull Ye Fan down from the stage.


    Yet, Ye Fan didn''t hesitate at all, directly climbing off the stage and quickly running towards Li Zhong, "Hey, Laotzu, you were the one talking the most just now,e on... you help prove it!"


    Li Zhong hadn''t even reacted before Ye Fan was already in front of him, without any hesitation, Ye Fan swung the dagger, making a cut over a foot long on Li Zhong''s arm.


    The cut was deep, even revealing the chilling white bones!


    "Ah! You damned fool, what are you doing? My god, my arm... Ouch, someone, help me bandage it..." Li Zhong red at Ye Fan angrily, and as he was about to hit Ye Fan, Ye Fan had already stepped back several meters.


    "Laotzu! I''m helping you prove the effect of that ointment, no? Didn''t you doubt the ointment was useless? Go on, to see whether the ointment works or not, you just have to try it, right?"


    Ye Fan''s simple appearance left everyone stunned.


    Li Zhong wanted to explode, but then thinking that Ye Fan was a fool, it would be beneath his dignity to get angry with a fool, wouldn''t it?


    Helplessly, Li Zhong was dragged onto the stage by Ye Fan!


    On the stage, Su Yixue watched Ye Fan stabbing Li Zhong with the dagger, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.


    This Li Zhong was utterly despicable, stealing the Su Family''s ointment recipe and still trying to disgust her at the press conference. If possible, Su Yixue had long wanted to kick him a couple of times.


    Ye Fan did what she wanted to do but wasn''t suitable to do herself!


    On the other side, Lei Qianjue watched Li Zhong climb onto the stage with blood covering his hands and a smile appeared on his lips.


    His little master was indeed someone who never suffered a loss.


    The Li Family was in for some hard times ahead!


    Wham!


    Just as Li Zhong was about to get on the stage, the people at the scene finally reacted.


    "Haha! Li Zhong is really unlucky to have been stabbed by that fool from the Ye Family!"


    "Yeah! Even if Li Zhong were to die at Ye Fan''s hands, it would be a vain death!"


    "You guys think, is Ye Fan really a fool, or is he ying the fool? He just went straight up and gave Li Zhong two stabs!"


    "He only has the intelligence of an eight-year-old child, what more can you expect? But having Li Zhong prove it himself is indeed the best way! After all, Li Zhong is thest person who would want the Su Family''s new medicine to work. If even Li Zhong can prove the ointment''s effectiveness, then this is absolutely a miraculous ointment!"


    ...


    Li Zhong, walking onto the stage, didn''t know whether to cry orugh!


    Had he really hit a streak of bad luck thatsted eight lifetimes?


    Every time he encountered Ye Fan, it would never end well!


    He met Ye Fan at yesterday''s engagement banquet, and as a result, his son died... Today, he encountered Ye Fan here, and Ye Fan nearly took his life with two stabs!


    Enduring the severe pain from his arm, Li Zhong did not forget to tell Su Yixue, "President Su, there''s no use struggling in vain, you should have anticipated today''s oue the moment you chose to help the Ye Family!"


    "Ah?" Li Zhong had barely said half of his sentence when he suddenly let out a shriek, ring at Ye Fan beside him with annoyance, "Are you blind? Why are you stepping on my foot?"


    "Sorry! Sorry, I wasn''t paying attention... I''m just over a hundred pounds, am I that heavy? Stepping on it like this, it shouldn''t be too painful, right?" Ye Fan looked innocently, while intentionally stretching his foot back and forth, stepping hard two more times on Li Zhong''s instep.


    "Ah!"


    "Ah! Are you trying to kill me, did you do that on purpose?" Li Zhong, in pain, hopped around the stage clutching his foot.


    Dammit!


    Ye Fan didn''t look heavy, yet why did it feel like a bulldozer was rolling over Li Zhong''s foot when he stepped on it?


    His instep was almost broken!


    Pfft!


    Su Yixue couldn''t help butugh out loud at the side. This Ye Fan really vented her frustration for her!


    s!


    If Ye Fan wasn''t really stupid, with his previous methods, he would have directly ughtered Li Zhong, right?


    The cameraman next to them had a knack for finding good shots, and was already holding the camera for a close-up of Li Zhong''s arm wound. Lei Qianjue wiped the blood off the wound with a towel and showed the extent of the injury to the camera, "Can everyone see clearly? The wound is deep, isn''t it? You can even see the bone!"


    Pfft!


    Li Zhong felt his heart taking another heavy hit.


    Damn it, can you stop your damn yapping?


    I was already mortified getting stabbed by a fool, and yet you keep emphasizing it?


    At this moment, the guests and media present all stared at the severalrge screens around the hall, and upon seeing the severe wound, they all couldn''t help but gasp.


    The fool from the Ye Family, he''s really ruthless when he strikes.


    A single cut and you can see the bone?


    If he had been a bit harsher, perhaps the entire arm would have been wrecked, right?


    At this moment, sitting at the front below the stage, were Su Honghai, Zhang Ru, Su Minghao, and the core disciples of the Su Family. Seeing the scene unfold before them, they were all extremely nervous.


    "Big brother! When did Yixue get in touch with the Divine Doctor? Is the ointment he provided effective at all?"


    "Yeah! Uncle, this is a matter of life and death for Su Corporation! Yixue knows such an impressive figure, and she didn''t even give us a heads up!"


    Amidst their anticipation, there was also a hint of worry.


    Su Honghai was just as nervous as the rest of them, because up until the moment he went on stage just now, Su Yixue hadn''t told them anything about Lei Qianjue or the ointment.


    Su Honghai had already braced himself for the copse of Su Corporation during this crisis.


    Yet, the situation on site suddenly turned around, with Lei Qianjue personally overseeing the situation and bringing a heaven-defying ointment, how could Su Honghai not be excited?


    "That''s why I''m saying, you must trust Yixue''s choices! The depth of the Ye Family is not something you can fathom!" Su Honghai deliberately put on a show of profundity with his words, causing the Su disciples to look at Su Yixue with renewed respect.


    On stage, Lei Qianjue evenly applied the ointment to Li Zhong''s arm, and the camera continued to focus closely on the scene.


    Everyone clearly saw that after the emerald-green ointment was spread, Li Zhong''s skin seemed to ''move'' in some way, and underneath the ointment, the bleeding stopped, and the skin began to slowly close up...


    This phenomenon, defying current science, was unfolding before everyone''s eyes at a visibly rapid pace!


    Everyone was stunned, watching the screen with rapt attention!


    And Li Zhong, witnessing the transformation on his arm, was equally bbergasted!


    Was the ointment the Su Family had developed actually real?


    How could that be possible?

 Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Babys Heart is Bitter!

    Stealing the Su Family''s medicine recipe was a n the Li Family had been scheming for years!


    Now that they had finally pushed the Su Family into a corner, with the family on the brink of copse, his mission would beplete. Once the Su Corporation fell, the Li Family would take over all of the Su Family''s industries and leap to be the number one pharmaceuticalpany in Cloud City.


    At the same time, the higher-ups would surely reward him handsomely, and his life would soar to new heights!


    No, he absolutely could not allow the Su Family''s ointment to produce the effects it was supposed to.


    Thinking this, Li Zhong''s arm twitched, and he reached out to quickly wipe off the ointment with his other hand.


    But Ye Fan had anticipated Li Zhong''s move and had already instructed Xia Hao to have Wang Fugui stand beside Li Zhong.


    As soon as Li Zhong tried to make his move, Wang Fugui grabbed his arm like a vice, "Patriarch of the Li Family, what''s wrong, feeling thirsty? Shall I give you a drink?"


    Wang Fugui now possessed strength beyond the Grandmaster Realm, and his control over Martial Arts Qi had reached a new level.


    As he held onto Li Zhong''s shoulder, the Qi Force paralyzed Li Zhong''s entire body, making it impossible for him to even move a finger.


    "No... I''m not thirsty..."


    Li Zhong was somewhat intimidated by Wang Fugui.


    Because Wang Fugui, known as the simple giant, was a normal person, but in reality, he was not much better than the then fool, Ye Fan!


    If Ye Fanmanded him to kill him right now, Wang Fugui would probably not hesitate to drag his Battle Saber and do it.


    Both were devils, oh the agony in his heart!


    Despite his extreme anxiety, Li Zhong dared not say another word and could only watch the wound on his arm heal at a visible speed.


    In less than five minutes, the wound on Li Zhong''s arm had nearlypletely healed from the outside.


    Lei Qianjue brought over a towel and started wiping off the ointment from Li Zhong''s arm, little by little.


    Everyone''s eyes widened as they carefully watched the screen ahead.


    Su Yixue on the stage, as well as Li Zhong and a few others, looked towards their arms.


    A brand new, incredibly fair arm appeared in front of everyone.


    It was as if it had been bleached, the color much rosier and tenderpared to the surrounding skin.


    The wound that everyone had just witnessed was gone without a trace, leaving no scars whatsoever.


    At this point, Wang Fugui had already let go of Li Zhong, who checked his arm over and over in disbelief, unable to find a single trace of the wound.


    "This... this is impossible, utterly impossible..."


    Li Zhong ruthlessly scratched his arm a few times, trying to find the wound he had just before, but still found nothing.


    "No way! You must have used some Blinding Technique, or is it some kind of magic trick?" Li Zhong was close to tears; he had prepared everything today, ready to bring down the Su Family. How did it end up with him on stage, ying the part of the Su Family''s "nt"?


    If Li Zhong hadn''te to the stage personally, he definitely would have believed this was a nt hired by the Su Family!


    Li Zhong rolled his arm back and forth, and under the close-up shot of the camera, therge screen at the venue showed a stout arm rolling non-stop, with everyone seeing it clearly.


    If it were anyone else on stage, everyone would have suspicions!


    But now it was the Patriarch of the Li Family himself, the sworn enemy who stole the Su Family''s medicine recipe. If there were any ws in the ointment, Li Zhong would have jumped out immediately.


    The effect was so astounding that everyone present was shocked into silence.


    Boom!


    The crowd began to erupt, and those groups andpanies that hadn''t yet paid a deposit scrambled towards the Su Family partnership registration desk like mad.


    "My Tianhong Group will pay a deposit of 1 billion!"


    "My Haiyue Group will pay a deposit of 800 million!"


    "My Haiyue Group will pay a deposit of 1 billion and is willing to share all distribution channels!"


    ...


    The effects of such a miraculous ointment on the market are all too clear to everyone.


    This is at least a trillion-dor market, and to get involved is to pick up money��anyone who stands in the way of their cooperation is blocking their road to wealth!


    The scene was so explosive that all the media extended their microphones towards Su Yixue.


    "President Su, how did you pull this off? Was the announcement of the stolen recipe a blinding technique?"


    "President Su, may I ask if it''s because you announced your marriage to Ye Fan that you''ve had this good fortune?"


    "Divine Doctor Lei, a moment of your time, please. Is there a chance for the young master of the Ye Family to awaken?"


    The event was far more intense than Li Zhong had anticipated.


    Stuck on the stage like a fool out of his depth, Li Zhong didn''t know whether to stand up or sit down.


    Li Zhong nced over at Liu Ran''s representative offstage, a shadow of gloom flickering in his eyes.


    Hmph!


    Su Yixue, since you won''t let me have my way, then no one shall have it easy!


    To deal with the Su Family, Li Zhong and Liu Ran''s representative didn''t just prepare a single tactic.


    "President Su, don''t get too excited just yet! As far as I''m aware, you still owe a lot of money to various distributors, don''t you? Does yourpany''s ounts have that much money right now? Besides, if all the distributors won''t work with you, no matter how good your products are, how are you going to sell them?"


    Li Zhongughed darkly twice, "Let''s not forget, the Su Family is now very close with the Ye Family. With the Ye Family being suppressed, the Su Family will definitely suffer! Can any of you guarantee that you''ll make that money?"


    This was a concern that everyone shared. Many hade today just to see how the Su Family would face the crisis at hand.


    By bringing this crisis to the forefront, Li Zhong essentially magnified the Su Family''s plight, making it clearer for all to see.


    Somepanies and groups who had been impulsive earlier began to hesitate.


    Indeed!


    The Su Family''s products are fantastic, but what good is making money if you can''t live to spend it?


    Below, the distributors arranged by Li Zhong and Liu Ran''s representative once again started to stir up trouble, "President Su! It''s not that weck goodwill, but the situation is ratherplicated! President Su, please settle our ounts!"


    "Right! President Su, I also want to settle the one billion yuan owed from the previous order!"


    "And my fifty million yuan debt!"


    Guided by the distributors set up by Li Zhong and Liu Ran, the scene once again flipped, with hundreds of distributors wanting to terminate their partnership with the Su Family and demanding their payments back.


    Some groups that had been considering cooperation with the Su Family also began to waver!


    It was at this moment that a young man stood up, "Damn it! Are you all out of your minds? Mr. Lei himself has shown support, what''s there to fear? Just a little debt, isn''t it? Laotzu Guo Li will pay off the whole debt for the Su Family�� If you won''t cooperate then don''t, at worst the Guo Family will join forces with Old Master Xia, take over all the Su Family''s distribution channels. Anyone who keeps yapping, Laotzu will beat the crap out of you!"


    A brusque voice caused everyone in the audience to be taken aback, all turning to look at the young man below!


    The Guo Family from Provincial City?


    Yet another powerful family siding with the Su Family?


    Spurred by Guo Li''s reminder, those groups andpanies wanting to cooperate immediately realized what this meant and exploded, "That''s right! Regardless of the suppression, this ointment is like picking up money. Damn, I almost missed out on this opportunity to make a fortune... Let''s fight the bastards..."


    Bang bang bang!


    In an instant, hundreds of people at the scene erupted into action, beating up those who were moring for money, the dissenting distributors!


    It was nearly three or four against one!


    In the blink of an eye!


    All opposition quieted down, and this scene left Li Zhong and Liu Ran''s representative, Qin Tao,pletely dumbfounded...


    What''s going on?


    Why does it feel like the whole world is against me?


    Are they really forcing me to y my trump card?

 Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Playing Underhanded? Use of Force!

    "Big brother, I was sent abroad by my dad for studies, and I only found out about the Ye Family''s situation yesterday! I''m sorry... Big brother, you have no idea, during these years I''ve been away, my yearning for big brother has been like the surging rivers, endless and strong..."


    As Guo Li spoke, he charged onto the stage, grabbing onto Ye Fan with both hands and continued, "Big brother, after not seeing you for several years, I''ve found you''ve be even more handsome and dashing! Haha, honestly, has sister-inw been taking good care of you?"


    Guo Li didn''t hold back at all as he teased Su Yixue yfully on the side.


    "You dead thing, looking for a beating!"


    Su Yixue''s face turned red with embarrassment at Guo Li''s words, she was familiar with him too.


    Although Guo Li''s family was in the Provincial City, five years ago, Guo Li would hang around Ye Fan daily, alongside Wang Fugui.


    One skilled in letters, the other in martial arts, they were known as the Generals Heng and Ha!


    Wang Fugui was the martial one, while Guo Li, with his outstanding intellect, was responsible for strategy and nning.


    Paired with Ye Fan''s monstrous talent, the trio''s notoriety as the three stooges echoed throughout Tiannan Province and even the Southwest.


    However,ter on, Ye Fan had an ident which caused him to be mentally challenged, and Guo Li was sent abroad to study for a time, causing the trio''s alliance to pause temporarily.


    But their feelings for each other never faded!


    "Damn! Schr Guo, could you not be so shameless? You always like to steal my thunder... Big brother''s charm and dashing appearance, does it need your words to describe? Let me tell you, when I took big brother to Lichun Courtyard, those girls fell over themselves to get close..."


    Seeing his two buddies start to squabble upon reuniting, Ye Fan felt a bit of a headacheing on and couldn''t help but frown!


    These two brothers were great in all aspects, except for theirpetition in ttery, both trying to outdo the other!


    "Eh?" Although Ye Fan simply furrowed his brow, Guo Li immediately picked up on the change in Ye Fan''s mood, "Big brother, you... are you faking it?"


    The volume of Guo Li''s voice was quite loud at the beginning of his statement, but it dropped significantly toward the end, as he looked around cautiously.


    This was what set Guo Li apart from Wang Fugui. Guo Li was much more cerebral, quickly guessing most of Ye Fan''s n upon seeing his reaction, and he even knew to keep it a secret.


    Ye Fan''s lips twitched slightly. With Guo Li''s intellect, keeping him in the dark would be quite difficult.


    Given that, when the opportunity was right, it would be better to be upfront with Guo Li.


    After all, many of Ye Fan''s future ns still needed someone to carry them out. With only Xia Hao, there was a lot that couldn''t be aplished. However, this brother who had been through life and death with him, Guo Li, was the best choice because of his ability to oversee the whole picture.


    Noticing a slight twitch of Ye Fan''s eyebrow, Guo Li instantly knew better than to press further and took the microphone from Su Yixue''s hand, loudly proiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, today you have all seen the effects of the Su Family''s Snow Beauty Cream. Those who want to cooperate should seize the opportunity to sign up right away. Firste, first served. Miss this vige, there won''t be another shop like this, buying is earning..."


    Guo Li was the kind of person who naturally excelled at socializing, a master at engaging people around him. With just a few words, he stirred up the emotions of the audience.


    As for the merchants arranged by Li Zhong and Qin Tao, they had been beaten to the point where they were barely human and couldn''t make any noise at all.


    In an instant, the situation at the venue hadpletely shifted in favor of the Su Family.


    Ye Fan nodded to himself in satisfaction. With Guo Li helping to control the overall situation, he could save himself a lot of trouble.


    "Everyone line up, line up to pay the deposit!"


    The entireunch event, under Ye Fan''s nning and with the disruption by Lei Qianjue, Guo Li, and others, was perfectly conducted.


    Li Zhong''s and Qin Tao''s npletely fell apart, and instead, some of the channel distributors who had originally cooperated with the Li Family turned to join the Su Family''s embrace.


    "Patriarch of the Li Family, what''s the meaning of this? Do you still think you haven''t lost enough face and n to continue waiting here for the New Year?" Guo Li looked at Li Zhong, who was still dazed below, and chastised him coldly, "If it were me, I would have already found a piece of tofu to smash my head against, my own son yed to death by me, and still here losing face..."


    Guo Li was deliberately poking at Li Zhong''s sore spot. Li Zhong''s face turned iron blue with rage, "Guo Li, you dog! Don''t think that just because you''re from the Provincial City''s Guo Family, I''ll be afraid of you! Hmph! Everyone, get ready to move..."


    Whoosh!


    Following Li Zhong''s shout, hundreds of burly men dragging battle sabers, steel rods, and other weapons suddenly surged out from around the venue, encircling the entire venue.


    "All of you, stop right there, let''s see who dares to sign a contract with the Su Family today!" Li Zhong shouted coldly, and from behind those burly men, another group of archers emerged, their crossbow arrows locking onto thepany representatives and bosses present.


    "Li Zhong, what do you mean by this?" Su Honghai, seeing the situation unfold before him, jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly at Li Zhong.


    If they couldn''t beat the Su Family throughmercial means, were they now resorting to this shady tactic? nning to use force to forcibly hinder the development of the Su Family?


    "Hmph! What do I mean, isn''t it obvious? Your Su Family has been getting too close to the Ye Family, this is the punishment from above for your Su Family!" Li Zhong, seeing his arranged killers rxing him slightly, a hint of smugness appeared on his face, "Now, your Su Family has two choices, continue to side with the Ye Family, and today will be the day your Su Family is wiped out!"


    "Otherwise, hand over Ye Fan, ept our Li Group''s acquisition, and your Su Corporation can continue to exist! As for the price, I''ve already mentioned, 2.5 million..."


    Li Zhong''s face was filled with a cold sneer; his ambition was great, having taken action today, he intended to capture Ye Fan and directly kill him.


    Yesterday, Li Yunyang suddenly died at the engagement banquet, and although there was no evidence, Li Zhong always felt that Li Yunyang''s death was inseparably linked to Ye Fan; therefore, killing Ye Fan would be revenging his son.


    "In your dreams!" Su Yixue blocked in front of Ye Fan, "Li Zhong, you are too despicable, if you want to harm Ye Fan, you''ll have to step over my dead body first."


    Su Yixue was resolute. Now being Ye Fan''s woman, she had promised the Old Master Ye to protect Ye Fan at all costs; if Ye Fan got hurt by her side, how could she exin it to Sister Linglong?


    Sister Linglong, huh? Where did she go?


    Su Yixue suddenly realized that Yu Linglong should also be at the venue, but at the moment, Yu Linglong''s figure was nowhere to be seen. Where had she gone?


    "Su Yixue, you still think you''re that high and mighty princess? You filthy whore..." Li Zhong, recalling how Su Yixue had just made him lose face, and how Ye Fan had shed such a huge gash in his arm, his face revealed a sinister shade, and he raised his hand to p Su Yixue across the face.


    Boom!


    But before Li Zhong could swing his hand, Ye Fan suddenly lifted a chair next to him and smashed it down hard on Li Zhong''s head, "You old bastard... Whoever dares to hurt my wife, I''ll fight them to the death..."


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    There and then, Ye Fan swung the chair earnestly, without any reservation, one hit after another, fiercely cracking it open on Li Zhong''s head!


    Li Zhong was so dazed that he saw stars, his head cracked, and he stumbled several times, swaying and falling towards the ground, "You damn fool... What the hell..."


    By Li Zhong''s side, Qin Tao, who had recovered, looked angrily at the situation unfolding before him, and scolded the surrounding burly men, "What are you standing there dumbfounded for? Do something, take down everyone from the Su Family!"

 Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Can Genius Be Contagious? Everyone Has Become a Grandmaster?

    "I''d like to see who dares!"


    Just as Li Zhong''s underlings were about to take action, Wang Fugui leaped out from behind Ye Fan, emitting a powerful aura in all directions. The leading few toughs were so intimidated that they retreated several steps, their battle sabers dropping to the ground in fright.


    ng!


    The crisp sound made everyone turn their attention to Wang Fugui!


    Some martial arts experts, sensing the raging Qi force emanating from Wang Fugui, eximed in shock, "A grandmaster level expert? Has Wang Fugui actually broken through to be a Grandmaster Level Expert? Another monstrous talent has emerged in Cloud City!"


    "Damn! Can talent be contagious?"


    "Yes! Before, fifteen-year-old Ye Fan was a Grandmaster Level Expert, and now Wang Fugui, who follows him, has also be a Grandmaster Level Expert. It''s terrifying!"


    The path of martial arts, from initial Energy Transformation stage, to Control Realm, Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, Martial Emperor...


    While it might seem like only one realm''s difference, the truth is that the gap between each realm is exponentially wide.


    At the scene, although Li Zhong had prepared so many assassins, with a Grandmaster Level Expert like Wang Fugui present, it waspletely in vain. Wang Fugui alone was enough to ughter all the assassins arranged by Li Zhong.


    "This..." Li Zhong too noticed the change in Wang Fugui''s aura.


    He had calcted everything, but had failed to anticipate that Wang Fugui would break through from the Control Realm to the realm of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.


    "Mr. Qin..." Li Zhong looked somewhat distressed towards Qin Tao at his side. Although Li Zhong was the main executor of this operation, he was merely at the forefront while the actual control was in the hands of Qin Tao sent by Liu Ran.


    "What''s there to be afraid of! No matter how formidable he is, he''s just one person. With so many of us, attacking from all sides, as long as we capture Su Yixue, or Ye Fan, or even just a few of thepany bosses looking to cooperate as hostages, Wang Fugui will have no choice but to hold back for fear of harming them!"


    After Qin Tao''s exnation, Li Zhong regained his confidence.


    "Young Master Wang! This was an issue between us and the Su Family. I advise you best not interfere. You cannot afford to provoke the power behind me!" While Li Zhong spoke, blood streamed down his face from his head, making him look extremely disheveled.


    "Hmph! Su Yixue is my sister-inw, what happens to the Su Family is my business, Wang Fugui''s business. Today, anyone who dares to touch a hair on the Su Family is against my Wang Family!" Wang Fugui had no intention of backing down. "Li Zhong, let your men retreat now and you might have a chance. Otherwise, you''ll learn what it means to wish for death!"


    Wang Fugui had not finished speaking when Guo Li forcefully interrupted him, "Enough! Enough! You''ve said your piece, now it''s my turn to step up!"


    Boom!


    After Guo Li burst forth, without any hesitation, he threw a punch towards the assassins in front.


    The powerful st of Qi Force instantly sent those assassins flying more than ten meters away, falling to the ground motionless.


    "Sorry! I''ve also be a grandmaster level expert. Any of you who disagrees can try my fist... my fists are itching for a fight!" Guo Li boasted while waving his fists, casting a proud nce at Wang Fugui, "How about that, Old Wang? Didn''t expect that, did you? I was thinking of showing off in front of you, but I didn''t expect you, this big oaf, to have broken through as well, sigh!"


    Hiss!


    Another Grandmaster?


    In such a short time, had both of General Heng and Ha beside Ye Fan made breakthroughs?


    The crowd on the scene was utterly astounded and inhaled sharply in unison.


    It''s confirmed!


    Talent must be contagious!


    Otherwise, how could Guo Li and Wang Fugui have broken through in such a short time?


    With two grandmaster experts present, Qin Tao''s face turned deathly pale in an instant.


    A Grandmaster stood present, they could find some loopholes to attack, but with two Grandmasters there, they virtually had no chance at all.


    Even with the threat of those archers, a Grandmaster could already form Gang Qi and set up a barrier, easily blocking those crossbow arrows outside the safe range.


    Qin Tao nced at the scene and eyed the gate, already nning to slip away.


    Now in this situation, staying here was simply continuing to offer up their heads.


    "Nobody move! Put down your weapons obediently... I''ve tolerated you people for quite a while!" As Qin Tao and Li Zhong hesitated, amanding voice rang out again from outside the crowd, Yu Linglong emerged at the scene with arge group of youths in camouge, easily numbering in the hundreds.


    Compared to the numbers arranged by Li Zhong, it was basically two against one!


    The archers, each now had two camouge-d youths standing behind them, the cold light of daggers in their hands aimed at the archers'' hearts!


    The archers who were killing with ferocity moments ago instantly lost their temper and could do nothing but helplessly put down their bows and arrows!


    The assassins arranged by Li Zhong at the scene had no choice either, under the absolute pressure of authority and power, they were captured without exception.


    A life-and-death crisis had just been resolved into nothingness!


    It was resolved with an absurdly fast speed, everypany boss and channel coborator present hadn''t even grasped what had happened, and themotion had already ended.


    "Patriarch of the Li Family, let''s find a ce to talk," Xia Hao said as he walked over from the side of the stage with Li Hu, with subordinates left and right enclosing Li Zhong in the middle.


    Li Zhong and Qin Tao''s faces instantly turned pale, "You..."


    Watching the assassins being escorted away from the scene, until thest of them left, Li Zhongpletely despaired.


    How could Li Zhong feel so stifled?


    Today should have been his home ground, where he would dominate the Su family, make thempletely lose face, and then be taken down by him. Yet now, how had he suddenly and inexplicably been counter-killed?


    It all felt like a conspiracy, as if he had been bagged up.


    Yu Linglong was also a Grandmaster Level Expert!


    With three Grandmaster level experts present, Li Zhong and Qin Tao still jumped out to cause trouble for the Su family, wasn''t that seeking death?


    In fact, what Li Zhong and Qin Tao didn''t know was that apart from the three Grandmaster experts, Ye Fan had already reached the peak of the Martial Venerable strength, and even if Li Zhong and Qin Tao brought ten Grandmaster experts here today, it still wouldn''t end well for them.


    Yu Linglong together with Xia Hao and Li Hu, took Li Zhong and Qin Tao away!


    Everyone let out sighs of regret!


    In such a head-to-head conflict, the Li Family hadpletely torn their faces with the Su family.


    Hence, the Li Family definitely wouldn''t have a good oue... The Li Family might as well announce their annihtion!


    Some time ago, the Zhao Family opposed Ye Fan and was directly annihted; now, the Li Family opposed the Su family and still couldn''t escape the fate of annihtion...


    Some clever people had already noticed some clues!


    Although the Ye Family had suffered a great loss, they were perhaps still not so easy to deal with!


    That Qilin Child from the Ye Family, was he truly foolish, or just feigning foolishness?

 Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Continue the music, continue the dance!

    "Ladies and gentlemen, let the music continue, let the dance go on! We shouldn''t let some trash disrupt our opportunity to make money, right?"


    After Qin Tao and Li Zhong were taken away, Guo Li immediately began calling over the remainingpany executives and representatives to continue signing up for coborations with the Su Family.


    In fact, even without Guo Li''s encouragement, everyone was eager to sign up!


    After all, everyone had clearly seen the Li Family''s provocation earlier. Li Zhong had joined forces with the Provincial City''s Liu Family, employing three tactics to sabotage the Su Family''sunch event, only to end up capsizing in the gutter and getting soundly thrashed.


    Everyone knew the Ye Family stood behind the Su Family!


    Previously, when the Ye Family nearly faced annihtion in a single day, everyone was somewhat wary of the Ye Family''s opponents stepping in. But now, with Wang Fugui, Guo Li, Yu Linglong, and six other sisters-inw supporting the Ye Family''s side, three Grandmasters seated, and Elder Ye having disciples all over the world, could the Ye Family really fall that easily?


    Some keen-eyed people at the venue had already spotted Old Master Ye sitting in the back row, as well as those big shots that were rare to see on television, now quietly sitting in every corner of theunch event!


    "Oh my God! Even the Governor of Tiannan Province is here, fucking hell... isn''t the Li Family courting death?"


    "Yeah! I even saw Old General Guan from the Southwest, who''s been holding down the fort there for thirty years, that old man actually came!"


    "Sigh, poor Li Zhong!"


    Once the crowd realized what was happening on-site, they immediately understood that even if Yu Linglong, Wang Fugui, and Guo Li didn''t take action, the Li Family would never have seeded!


    With Elder Ye personally presiding, how could there be no contingency n?


    A mere Li Family from Cloud City, daring to strike against the Su Corporation and arm-wrestle with the Ye Family... they''re doomed to be cannon fodder!


    "Sign up, I''m going to sign up too, hey, don''t push...wait in line properly,e on, let me through to the front!"


    All thepany executives present went mad, no longer caring about appearances, as they all pushed forward, trying to snatch a spot for coboration.


    The Su Family''sunch event concluded with aprehensive victory for the Su Family.


    Some of the distributors previously gathered by the Li Family, who didn''t join in the ruckus with the Li Family''s people, were nowmenting their ancestors'' good fortune.


    Those distributors who had caused trouble alongside the Li Family need no mention, as they are nowpletely excluded from future partnerships and will, without doubt, face a full-on blow.


    As for those who stayed behind, the Snow Face Cream alone would allow them to pick up money for ten years!


    Ye Changfeng, sitting in the back row, saw the scene before him and silently let out a sigh of relief.


    When the Ye Family''s descendants were in trouble, being thousands of miles away, I couldn''t take care of them. But the Su Family is right here in Cloud City, right under my nose, can I let them be bullied?


    However, Ye Changfeng was still curious, since when did the Su Family have such an amazing product as the Snow Face Cream? If there was such a product, would the Su Family still have been that frantic?


    Moreover, the Su Family''s handling of the entire venue today was too meticulous, like sealing every possible leak!


    Even with the support of Xia Hao and Guo Li from the Provincial City, to have managed the event with such precision, Ye Changfeng always felt there was a mastermind behind it all!


    "Old Master Ye, there doesn''t seem to be anything left to do here; let''s go! Let''s head back and continue drinking!" Various hidden bosses on the scene began to converge toward Ye Changfeng.


    "Drink my ass, didn''t you hear what Divine Doctor Lei said? Young Master Ye has aplete possibility of awakening. It''s time for us old guys to y our part. We can''t let the Ye Family be bullied without a fight. As for your old subordinates, give them a heads up, and do it quickly!"


    "Right! Right! We have to go back and n properly... Those bastards, their ns failed today, but they''ll definitely have follow-up actions, and we must not let them seed!"


    The bosses summoned by Lei Qianjue were all exceedingly shrewd. The confrontation between the Su Family and the Li Family on the scene had taken a most bizarre turn, with the Li Family utterly defeated.


    Although Ye Fan still wore a foolish demeanor, everyone sensed that something was off.


    If Ye Fan was not actually foolish but pretending, what kind of scene would that be?


    Ye Changfeng and a group of bosses quietly left. The core disciples of the Su Family were busy greeting thepany bosses, and Su Yixue, as the CEO, wanted to go over to greet them, but she looked at Ye Fan and felt worried.


    "Sister-inw, you go on and tend to your affairs! Big brother has us to look after him; don''t worry!" Guo Li, noticing Su Yixue''s concern, called out to her. He put an arm around Ye Fan''s shoulder and quickly walked toward the area below the stage.


    Reaching the lounge behind the stage, Guo Li closed the door and quickly asked Ye Fan, "Big brother, when did you awake?"


    Ye Fan knew he couldn''t hide it from Guo Li. Wang Fugui called Guo Li "Schr Guo," whose savvy and strategizing skills, and thoughtfulness were not much inferior to Ye Fan''s.


    Moreover, Ye Fan had previously sensed something special about Guo Li''s physique; apart from the normal vital energies, there was an ancient aura pulsating within his body, as if a legacy Seal was there inside him, just not activated yet.


    "It was just a few days ago, the day the Ye Family was massacred! Five years ago, the car ident was orchestrated by the Zhao Family. By a stroke of misfortune, I sealed myself for five years using a Rune Talisman... So..." Ye Fan quickly exined to Guo Li, "My n is simple, continue to feign foolishness, lull those opposing the Ye Family intocency, and start our investigation with the Zhao Family, the Wang Family, and the Li Family. We''ll check the Liu Family in Provincial City, and then go after Young Master Zhou in the Capital, to seek justice for the Ye Family..."


    Guo Li had always yed the role of a strategist by Ye Fan''s side.


    Now, with Ye Fan continuing to feign foolishness, it was fitting for Guo Li to carry out many tasks as his mouthpiece and hands.


    "Is that so? So the Zhao Family''s annihtion and Li Yunyang''s explosive demise were all your handwork..." Guo Li couldn''t help but give Ye Fan a thumbs up. The rivals who had be enemies with the Ye Family had no idea that the Ye Family''s most monstrous genius had already awakened, and what awaited them were days worse than death.


    Inside the room, Guo Li and Ye Fan continued discussing some of the follow-up ns.


    On the stage, Wang Fugui turned his head for just a moment and realized that Guo Li and Ye Fan had disappeared, pping his thigh in frustration, "Schr Guo, you have no martial honor! Where did you take the big brother? Your boot-licking is a bit too much, huh... leave some for me..."


    Ye Fan and Guo Li, inside the room, heard Wang Fugui''s loud voice from outside and exchanged a bitter smile.


    This Big Fool really is speechless!


    "So, big brother, we''re going to meet Li Zhong and Qin Tao next, and pry some information out of them?" Guo Li asked Ye Fan for confirmation.


    "Yes! It''s all on you now... Let the Li Family disappear from today! It''s best to find out who was behind today''s operation. Catching a big fish would be ideal..."


    "Got it!"


    When Wang Fugui reached the door of the lounge behind the stage, Guo Li and Ye Fan stepped out from inside, greeted him, and said, "Let''s go find Li Zhong!"

 Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Comparing Failures? Hurting Each Other!

    Wang Fugui looked at Guo Li with a hint of suspicion and asked, "Schr Guo, what were you whispering about with big brother? Why do I get the feeling that you''re hiding something from me?"


    "Big brother, tell me the truth, have you awakened? I promise I won''t tell anyone else!"


    Wang Fugui had asked Ye Fan more than once or twice over the past few days!


    Although Wang Fugui seemed somewhat simple-minded, he was only slow to react and not truly foolish!


    Moreover, after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, Wang Fugui''s thought processes and intelligence seemed to have sharpened a bit.


    Ye Fan and Guo Li exchanged nces without speaking and started walking towards the door!


    ��


    Near the Su Corporation, in a courtyard, Xia Hao and Li Hu had Li Zhong and Qin Tao under control.


    Li Zhong bitterly reprimanded, "Xia Hao, Li Hu, is there now in your eyes? By restricting my freedom like this, you''re infringing upon human rights��I''m going to sue you��"


    Bang!


    Li Hu, notorious for his temper, waved the battle saber in his hand and pped Li Zhong across the face, "Patriarch of the Li Family, you''d better understand your current situation! If it weren''t for Young Master Ye waiting for the news from your mouth, you would have died a thousand times over already!"


    Law?


    Hmph!


    When Li Zhong gathered so many martial arts experts, assassins, and archers to surround the Su Family''s press conference, why didn''t he think about thew then?


    If Li Zhong had won, would Ye Fan and Su Yixue, including Li Hu and Xia Hao, have had a good fate?


    "You��" Li Zhong wanted to say more but stopped as Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and Ye Fan appeared at the entrance.


    "Young Master Ye!" Xia Hao and Li Hu respectfully greeted Ye Fan.


    Without responding, the straightforward Ye Fan grabbed a chair nearby and started pummeling Li Zhong and Qin Tao, "Bad people, you are bad people, wanting to bully my wife, deserve a beating..."


    To attack the Su Family so viciously, if it weren''t for Ye Fan''s arrangements with Xia Hao and Yu Linglong well in advance, today might have seen another oue altogether.


    They couldn''t yet identify the mastermind behind the scenes, but these trash who were at the forefront had to be dealt with, to vent some anger and collect some interest!


    After Ye Fan finished venting his anger, Guo Li stepped forward, "Patriarch of the Li Family, are you going to confess on your own, or should I employ some methods?" Guo Li smiled as he twirled a dagger in his hand, but that smile was eerily unsettling.


    "I��"


    Schlick!


    As Li Zhong hesitated, Guo Li''s dagger had already made a cut on Li Zhong''s chest, "You really are detestable, to have nearly exterminated my big brother''s family. Death would be too kind for you..."


    Guo Li truly considered Ye Fan as his elder brother and was furious when he found out that the entire Ye Family had almost been wiped out, wishing he could chop up those enemies into pieces.


    "Ah..." Li Zhong, face filled with terror, looked at Guo Li. He hadn''t expected the seemingly refined and cultured Guo Li, known as Schr Guo, to be so violent and ruthless, actually stabbing him and leaving arge hole in his chest.


    Watching the blood flow from his wound, Li Zhong felt his Vitality Force draining away rapidly.


    I''m really going to be yed to death!


    Li Zhong was absolutely certain that if he didn''t say something, they would indeed kill him on the spot.


    "I''ll talk... I''ll talk, this operation wasmanded by the head of the Liu Family in Provincial City. I was just assisting the organization; the real person inmand was Qin Tao... Damn it, Qin Tao, you''ve killed me... I''m going to fight you with my life..."


    Li Zhong thought of his dead son and realized that he, too, had fallen to such a plight.


    Li Zhong knew that from today onward, the Li Family would definitely cease to exist.


    He had originally thought that following the Liu Family of Provincial City would bring greater development for the Li Family, but now...


    "Li Zhong, you''d better not nder people. What did we agree on before the action? Are you stupid? Do you think you can survive by talking about the n above? Hmph... isn''t it just death? If we die, naturally, others wille to take down the Ye Family. They won''tst many days... Ah..."


    Qin Tao spoke jovially, but the very next moment, Guo Li plunged a knife straight into his chest, creating a huge hole.


    "You''re quite noisy! Rest assured, once Li Zhong has finished confessing, it''ll quickly be your turn!" Guo Li turned his head to Li Zhong and said, "Continue!"


    "I know they were nning an operation, initially to stop Divine Doctor Lei from treating Young Master Ye, and there was another n. It seems that a bigwig from above would personallye to test Young Master Ye, to see if he had woken up... also, others from Provincial City will be sent here too..."


    Li Zhong spilled the beans, sharing all the information he knew.


    Although Ye Fan already knew some parts, the fact that a bigwig backing Liu Ran was getting restless and nning to personallye down to Cloud City was something Ye Fan hadn''t anticipated.


    As long as they dared toe, Ye Fan would ensure they would never return!


    "Guests areing? Are they bad guys? If they''re bad guys, we''ll just beat them to death..." Ye Fan naively responded, and Guo Li held back augh as he looked at Ye Fan, thinking how convincingly Ye Fan was ying his part.


    "Li Zhong, have you gone mad? Are you really spilling everything?" Qin Tao was frantic. He had nned to take those secrets to his grave, but since Li Zhong was not adhering to their code by revealing most of them, keeping his own secrets seemed pointless!


    You want to see who''s worse? Then let''s see who can sink lower!


    "I''ll talk as well. I also know that there are two people in contact with Liu Ran from above; one is from the Military with the codename Lone Wolf, and the other is Young Master Zhou from the Capital. They plotted against the Ye Family, and apart from exterminating them, they''re also tracking an item that supposedly can swiftly boost Combat Power. I don''t know what it is exactly..."


    Qin Tao and Li Zhong, as ifpeting, were pouring out all the secrets they knew.


    Ye Fan, Guo Li, and the others listened to the disclosures as if watching an exciting y.


    Ye Fan now had a rough understanding of their ns!


    The young master from Provincial City was easy to deal with, but the bigwig from the Military would require careful attention... If they came, they must be made to stay here, and ideally, they shouldn''t suspect it was his doing. It seemed he had to n carefully!


    In the Northwest, within a secluded estate!


    Therge screen on the wall was live-streaming the Su Corporation press conference. The ns of Li Zhong and the others were clear for all to see.


    Only after Li Zhong and hispanions were taken away did the old man beside the screen turn it off in irritation, "Is this the action you arranged? Allowing the Su Corporation to make a spectacle of themselves, and the entire Li Family to be wiped out? What have you done?"


    "How will the others perceive us if this continues? Openly defying us, unscathed, not to mention their huge sess at the press conference? What is this?"


    "Elder, please calm your anger! It''s my fault, I didn''t anticipate they would be so well-prepared... I will go to Cloud City immediately, and take the opportunity to directly eliminate Ye Fan, to prevent any future threats..."

 Chapter 54 Retaliation So Swift! Planning to Seal Off Su Corporation?

    In Cloud City, Guo Li, Ye Fan, and Wang Fugui left and returned to the Su Corporation, where the contract signing was almostplete.


    Seeing Ye Fan return, Su Yixue embraced him affectionately, "Husband! Thank you!"


    Su Yixue wasn''t certain whether Ye Fan had truly awakened or was still in a foolish state, but one thing she was sure of.


    The sess of today''s Su Family press conference owed much to Ye Fan. Although it was Wang Fugui, Guo Li, Yu Linglong, and Divine Doctor Lei who appeared in public, would they have made a move without Ye Fan?


    Hearing the word "husband," Ye Fan''s heart also twitched.


    Had this little girl Yixue finally beenpletely conquered by him?


    "Hehe! Yixue, my wife, you are my wife. I promised Grandpa, I would protect you all�� I will definitely work hard to take down those bad guys!" Ye Fan said while also ncing at Yu Linglong not far away.


    Yu Linglong looked at Ye Fan thoughtfully, considering his unique physique that allowed one to enjoy the warmth of his nourishing energy for training, which was simply miraculous.


    If Ye Fan really had awakened, and his monstrous talent came into y again, how terrifying would that be?


    Breaking through Martial Venerable? Martial Emperor? Even reaching the level of Martial Saint was not out of the question!


    At that time, who could stop the Qilin Child of the Ye Family?


    Moreover, Lei Qianjue, as the Great Xia Medical Saint, had said something yesterday that made Yu Linglong somewhat suspicious. Lei Qianjue had always been very precise and wouldn''t share ambiguous information, but when talking about Ye Fan''s condition, he was vague, mentioning only the possibility of Ye Fan awakening, without specifying a time.


    ording to Lei Qianjue''s usual style, it would either be possible for Ye Fan to awaken or not at all!


    Such equivocal talk�� unless, it was the instruction of someone even more formidable, deliberately spoken this way?


    Considering this, Yu Linglong''s gaze at Ye Fan sharpened: could it be that her husband had truly awakened?


    Yu Linglong had heard that five years ago, Ye Fan was known throughout the Southwest as the Young Medical Immortal. In terms of medical skills, he was said to have already surpassed Lei Qianjue. If Ye Fan had awakened, it was entirely possible that he had used his medical skills to subjugate Lei Qianjue, who was now helping to cover up certain truths.


    As a Great Xia Three-Star Valkyrie, Yu Linglong was not only powerful inbat but also highly intelligent. Her spection had nearly unveiled the truth.


    Ye Fan felt Yu Linglong''s piercing gaze and his heart skipped a beat!


    His eldest wife was not so easily fooled; it seems he had to be more cautious around Yu Linglong in the future. Otherwise, if Yu Linglong found out he was no longer a fool, would she still marry him?


    "Distinguished seniors and friends, I am extremely grateful for your assistance in the smooth convening of today''s Su Family press conference! It''s also lunchtime, and I have arranged a banquet. Please, everyone, join us for a simple meal!" Su Yixue warmly invited everyone, while Su Honghai and Su Minghao, seeing so many influential figures, didn''t even know how to greet them and just kept grinning stupidly.


    They also didn''t know whether the Su Family''s decision was right or wrong?


    Bing so deeply entwined with the Ye Family was bound to invite retaliation from the Ye Family''s adversaries, and it wouldn''t end well!


    But they didn''t anticipate that the retaliation woulde this fast.


    Su Yixue was greeting everyone present, just about to leave the Su Corporation, when suddenly, the sound of police sirens red outside.


    A group of uniformed personnel rapidly infiltrated the venue.


    "I''m sorry�� we have received a report that there has been an illegal gathering of funds here, and there''s suspicion of false advertising of fake drugs. We need the person in charge toe back with us for investigation! In addition, thepany''s ount funds have been legally frozen, pending investigation. Once cleared, they will be immediately unfrozen!"


    The operation was a joint action by the police department, the drug regtory authority, and the enforcement team.


    Boom!


    The sudden news struck like a thunderp. "Officer, have you made a mistake? The Su Corporation is engaging in normal business activities. How can you suspect us of illegally gathering funds? Those funds are the deposits paid by our clients for their orders..."


    Su Yixue was on the verge of tears. Today, the new drug release had been a sess, and she had managed to attract so many new distributors and secure such a significant amount of funding. Su Yixue felt ted, as this meant expanding production wouldn''t be an issue at all.


    Tens of billions would be more than enough for her to do many things!


    But suddenly, so many officers in uniforms had sealed off herpany and frozen the ounts��what was she to do now?


    You must realize, not to mention the dy in production, once the news got out, it would be a devastating blow to the Su Corporation! Would those martial arts merchants who wanted to partner with the Su Corporation dare to continue their cooperation?


    The leading officer looked at Su Yixue with a hint of bitterness and said, "Miss Su, we really have no choice. We are all just following orders!"


    Actually, everyone understood that it wasn''t really about the Su Corporation''s own business, but rather the ripples from the continuing struggle with the Ye Family and those rivals.


    Otherwise, who would bother investigating a business conglomerate, and move so swiftly at that?


    "You..." Su Yixue wanted to say more, when Ye Fan gave Guo Li a signal with his eyes. Guo Li quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister-inw, don''t worry! They are just investigating. Let them do their investigation. With us here, nothing will happen to the Su Corporation!"


    Both Guo Li and Ye Fan understood that these minor officials were just the front-line enforcers.


    To solve the problem at hand, they must find the key figure behind the scenes!


    "Miss Su, please cooperate with us and have the core members of yourpanye with us," the officer leading the team said with difficulty. But since he had orders from above, he had no choice but toply.


    They wanted to take Su Yixue away?


    Guo Li frowned and nced at Ye Fan.


    That was a bit too much, wasn''t it?


    How could the big brother possibly endure this?


    "How dare you!" Yu Linglong was also infuriated, "What do you mean by this? In broad daylight, you dare to just capture someone. Try to take anybody with me standing right here!"


    With a wave of her hand, Yu Linglong''s subordinates moved in, with guns already drawn!


    Swish, swish!


    The officers who had arrived were also prepared and quickly pulled out their weapons. The two sides immediately faced off against each other.


    The atmosphere at the scene instantly grew tense, a major battle on the verge of breaking out!


    Everyone understood the gravity of the situation. If it were just thepany''s ounts being frozen, there would still be a chance for the Su Corporation to recover. But if Su Yixue were to be taken away as well, gainingmercial credibility for the Su Corporation afterwards would be very difficult.


    This also meant that the Ye Family and those opponents'' confrontation had failed!


    Ye Fan furrowed his brow in thought. Indeed, he had many methods at his disposal: the authority of the Xuanwu Battle Zone''s Heavenly King and the yet-to-be-activated support of the Tianji Pavilion. Any one of these could make the other party back down.


    But if he revealed his hand too soon now, then the real enemies targeting the Ye Family would not dare to show themselves!


    "What''s going on? What''s happening?" While Ye Fan was still pondering, several military trucks stopped at the entrance to the Su Corporation, and at once, a toon of camouged soldiers armed and ready jumped down.


    The leader was none other than Major Guo Fei, who was conducting patrol training. Passing by the Su Corporation, he had just seen Ye Fan surrounded by a group of people and immediately led his soldiers to charge over, surrounding the officers in uniform.


    "They are the bad guys, they want to take my wife away..." Ye Fan, seeing Guo Fei, immediately brightened up and spoke to Guo Fei.


    Yesterday, when he saved Xuan Yufei''s father in the hospital, Guo Fei had recognized the Xuanwu Heavenly King''s Command Token. While Major Guo Fei''s position might not allow him to do much otherwise, ensuring that Su Yixue and others weren''t taken away shouldn''t be a big issue!

 Chapter 55 The Eternal Night, Activate the SSS-Class Action Directive!

    Guo Fei''s eyes narrowed slightly at Ye Fan''s words!


    Ye Fan''s meaning was clear��he was at odds with these uniformed personnel!


    After recognizing the Token of the Xuanwu Heavenly King yesterday, Guo Fei reported the situation to his superiors without dy.


    The appearance of the Heavenly King''s Token had stirred the highest authority in Xuanwu, who personally spoke with Guo Fei, instructing him to recount the incident in detail. The final order was to fully cooperate with the Heavenly King in all actions. Regardless of the form the Heavenly King took, anymands given must be obeyed unconditionally, even employing all forces under Xuanwu''s banner.


    Guo Fei wasn''t foolish. He discerned additional implications in the chief''s words��that Ye Family''s youngest, able to be the Xuanwu District''s Heavenly King, must certainly possess real skills. The key was Ye Fan''s current appearance; with such protection from above, it could only indicate one thing, Ye Fan was very likely not mentally incapacitated but pretending, to deceive the enemy?


    "Apprehend them!" Without any hesitation, Guo Fei immediately gave themand for his subordinates to take control of all the uniformed personnel.


    The ones who still intended to take Su Yixue away lost their freedom in the blink of an eye.


    Although they wore uniforms, face to face with Guo Fei''s subordinates, they were no match in either numbers or Combat Power.


    "Deputy Commander Guo Fei, do you realize what you''re doing? We are carrying out official duties. By acting this way, you''re openly confronting us; can you bear the consequences?" The leading officer among the uniformed personnel tried to argue.


    But Guo Fei didn''t show them the slightest hint of kindness, "Shut up! Do I need you to teach me how to do my job? Take them all away... Let me tell you, Su Corporation and our Military''s medical supply channel, dare toy a hand on Su Corporation is to be our enemy, any issues, we will discuss itter!"


    Hiss!


    Although Guo Fei''s words were not loud, everyone present who hadn''t left felt a shiver in their hearts!


    Since when had Su Corporation be the Military''s medical supply channel?


    However, Ye Fan gave Guo Fei a look and raised an eyebrow, this young man really knew how to y the game!


    Ye Fan couldn''t guarantee other aspects, but for the Tianlong Army, and if the Xuanwu Army was getting medicine from Su Corporation, wouldn''t it at least be on the scale of hundreds of billions a year?


    Mm!


    It seems like it could indeed be arranged!


    Whoosh!


    In just a moment, the once arrogant uniformed personnel were taken away in an instant.


    Su Yixue looked at Ye Fan somewhat bewilderedly. When had Ye Fan gotten to know people from the Xuanwu Military? Moreover, the Military usually did not interfere in the lives of ordinary people, yet Guo Fei, simply because of a word from Ye Fan, had taken away so many uniformed officers?


    That was a joint enforcement by three major departments!


    Su Yixue found that she couldn''t quite understand Ye Fan anymore. What secrets was Ye Fan hiding?


    Even in his current mentally incapacitated state, he was this powerful; what kind of terrifying presence would Ye Fan be if he returned to being a genius prodigy?


    Suddenly, Su Yixue was filled with expectations for the future.


    If Ye Fan woke up one day, then as his wife, it seemed like it would be a very fulfilling thing!


    The immediate crisis facing Su Corporation was resolved, next was the issue of thepany''s ount freeze!


    To freeze thepany''s ounts, it would require joint action from Industrial and Commercial, police, and many other departments, but the most direct was the bank!


    "Miss Su, don''t worry, I''ve already called some old friends, and they will have news very soon!"


    "Yixue, I have also reached out to some elder friends, and they will find a way too!"


    "Miss Su, I have already instructed the Governor of Cloud City, Sun Qian, to look for the president of Huaqi Bank!"


    Lei Qianjue, Yu Linglong, and Xia Hao, among others, began to frantically make phone calls, working on behalf of the Su Corporation.


    Ye Fan nced at Guo Li, "I need to use the bathroom, Old Guo,e with me!"


    "Alright!" Guo Li knew that Ye Fan definitely had other hidden moves up his sleeve. He responded and prepared to leave with Ye Fan.


    Wang Fugui hurriedly followed up, "Big brother, I''ll apany you too!"


    Although Wang Fugui was a bit slow, he had recently realized that Ye Fan seemed to be hiding something from him; he would tell Xia Hao, but not him. Was his own mouth really that unreliable?


    "Old Wang, you really are... What are you worried about when your big brother is just going to the bathroom? I''m a Grandmaster-level expert, can''t I protect big brother? You stay here, contact your grandfather, and get him to help resolve your sister-inw''s family issue quickly!" Guo Li was somewhat speechless; this fellow Wang Fugui had definitely sensed something amiss.


    "Right, right! Look at my brain, how did I not think of asking Grandpa for help? I''ll call him right now!"


    While Wang Fugui was making his phone call, Ye Fan and Guo Li quickly entered thepany bathroom.


    "Old Guo, lend me your phone!" Given the current situation, Ye Fan decided it was time to utilize the power of Tianji Pavilion, but did not want to expose himself too soon.


    Because the text within the dragon-patterned ring had also said that since the Old Pavilion Master''s fall, the Tianji Pavilion''s internal factions were not so united.


    If news of the new Pavilion Master''s appearance leaked out, Ye Fan feared it would be troublesome to handle with his current strength.


    Taking Old Guo''s phone, Ye Fan swiftly entered a long string of encrypted passwords and then dialed a number, "Wind rises over the duckweed, through the eternal night!"


    This was a secret code of Tianji Pavilion and also one of the inheritances for the transition between the old and new Pavilion Masters recorded in the dragon-patterned ring!


    After those simple eight words were uttered, there was a silence on the other end of the phone, followed instantly by a flurry of activity, "Your subordinate Pang Hai greets the new Pavilion Master! This old servant has waited twenty years. Is the Tianji Pavilion finally going to be revived?"


    Pang Hai was the manager of Tianji Pavilion. Before the Old Pavilion Master had fallen to a plot against him, he had spoken with Pang Hai once, instructing him to temporarily handle the affairs of Tianji Pavilion, and that the new Pavilion Master would appear after fifteen years.


    And now, the new Pavilion Master had finally emerged!


    "Yes! But I cannot expose myself right now; only contact me when absolutely necessary! I''m reaching out today because there is an urgent task at hand: the corporate ounts of the Su Corporation in Cloud City have been frozen. I need you to mobilize the power of Tianji Pavilion. Within ten minutes, unfreeze the ounts and suppress all negative news about the Su Corporation. Can you do it?"


    "Rest assured, Pavilion Master, this old servant will do everything possible!"


    Over the years, Pang Hai had managed to keep Tianji Pavilion going, albeit barely, and he was exhausted. Inside Tianji Pavilion, various forces were itching for a chance to move. The Pavilion Master had been missing for fifteen years, and he, as the manager, was almost unable to restrain them anymore.


    The emergence of the new Pavilion Master was the hope for the revival of the entire Tianji Pavilion.


    Natural, Pang Hai wouldmit fully to the first task assigned by the new Pavilion Master!


    Although Tianji Pavilion had suffered from internal friction over the years and expended much, it was still among the top three major organizations globally; resolving a minor matter in Cloud City was within its capacity.


    Pang Hai''s external identity was that of a trillion-dor conglomerate that dominated the Southwest Eighteen Provinces��the President of the Nether Group!


    In the office of the Nether Group, after Pang Hai hung up the phone, he almost ran to the office opposite, pressed a switch on the wall, and entered through a hidden door behind it.


    Past the hidden door was a massivemand and control room that could amodate hundreds of people, with various data surveince screens and electronic disys constantly flickering.


    No one would ever imagine that this ce was actually the temporary headquarters of Tianji Pavilion!


    "Everyone, get moving, activate the SSS-level operation directive, and carry out the mission with utmost speed..."

 Chapter 56 Its going to explode! Did we poke a hornets nest?

    The Huaqi Bank Headquarters in Cloud City, President Qian Tao was at his wit''s end today!


    He had received orders from the big boss in Provincial City to work with Cloud City''s business administration, police, and other forces to immediately freeze the Su Corporation''s ounts.


    Although not all procedures were fully approved, the boss had given an absolutemand, so he had no choice but to break the rules. He took personal action and frozen Su Corporation''s ounts.


    The boss had assured that there would be no problems,


    as the news would shortly report the arrest of core members of the Su Corporation.


    But Qian Tao had been glued to the television and his phone, waiting for the news he hoped to see, yet it never came. Instead... Qian Tao''s phone began to ring off the hook.


    The first call was from Sun Qian, the Governor of Cloud City, "Qian Tao, I don''t know what game you''re ying, but Imand you to unfreeze Su Corporation''s ounts immediately. What gives you the right to freeze their ounts? Let me tell you... Su Corporation is in cooperation with the Xuanwu Battle Zone. The police officers who arrested members of Su Corporation have all been taken away by the military...


    Ah?


    Hearing Sun Qian''s words stunned Qian Tao!


    What did that mean?


    Weren''t the big shots from above supposed to coborate with him?


    Howe when he was the only one charging forward, his supposed teammates turned soft? Wasn''t he just a fool?


    Just as Sun Qian hung up, Qian Tao was getting ready to call the boss for rification when his old supervisor called, berating him out of the blue, "Qian Tao, are you courting death? What''s the point of provoking the Su Family? Don''t you know they''re backed by the Ye Family? Even though the Ye Family has suffered a great setback, Old Master Ye isn''t dead yet... unfreeze the ounts immediately..."


    Qian Tao felt bitter; wasn''t he already aware of the situation? The struggle between the Su and Li families was just a sh between the Ye Family and theirpetitors. As small characters caught between two massive forces, Qian Tao and the others had no choice but to follow along once they boarded the big boss''s ship, knowing full well they were cannon fodder.


    Then came calls from other leaders in Provincial City and even big shots from the Capital!


    Qian Tao''s phone was almost exploding, as if he had stirred a ho''s nest. Many big shots whom he wouldn''t usually have contact with were now calling to tell him to unfreeze the ounts... But without the big boss''s orders, how could Qian Tao dare to reverse the freeze?


    After answering a dozen calls, Qian Tao finally found a moment to call the boss in Provincial City, but then he suddenly saw a news sh on the TV, "Breaking news: a certain Mr. Li, a leader in Provincial City, has been arrested on suspicion of crime... Stay tuned for more details..."


    ng!


    Qian Tao waspletely numb. His most powerful backer and boss had been arrested?


    This... it''s over...


    And at that moment, just ten minutes after the Su Corporation''s ounts were frozen, they had already been arrested?


    As the Head of Huaqi Bank in Cloud City, Qian Tao, with his years of experience in office and business circles, naturally couldn''t believe this was a coincidence!


    Run!


    He had to run away immediately!


    Coming to his senses, Qian Tao grabbed a few items from his private safe, and pushed open the door, trying to leave.


    But as soon as the door opened, several uniformed officials were already waiting outside, "Mr. Qian Tao, you are suspected of being involved in a financial operation case, pleasee with us."


    It''s over!


    Qian Tao''s legs went weak, and he nearly copsed to the ground. Hadn''t he still been unable to escape in the end?


    "We''ve just received confirmation from the Board of Directors that Mr. Chen Wei is to take over immediately as the Head of Cloud City Branch, with full authority to handle all matters in Cloud City!" The uniformed officials, still holding onto Qian Tao who had not left, announced on the spot while his secretary brought in Chen Wei, Qian Tao''s nemesis, along with the documents issued by the headquarters.


    Chen Wei said with a smug look, "Qian Tao, what were you thinking, meddling with the Su Family? Honestly, I should thank you. You''re such a kind person!"


    "Quick! Execute my first order immediately, unfreeze Su Corporation''s ounts, and I will personally apologize to President Su!"


    Chen Wei was very clear about how he had climbed to his position through what channels.


    The instructions from the mysterious bigwig above were very explicit, upon taking office, the first thing to do was to unfreeze the Su Corporation''s ounts and minimize the losses and impact as much as possible.


    "Yes!"


    Following Chen Wei''s order, operations began swiftly at Huaqi Bank!


    Qian Tao closed his eyes in despair as he watched the scene unfold before him, "Let''s go!"


    If his own backer had been taken down, what else was there to hope for?


    ...


    Su Family Corporation in Cloud City!


    In the short time that Ye Fan and Guo Li went to the restroom, everyone at the Su Corporation was frantically contacting their connections, striving to thaw the corporation''s frozen ounts.


    But due to the significance of the matter, even a big shot like Lei Qianjue had to wait for an old friend to pull some strings, which required time!


    Ye Changfeng and the others, who had just left, were informed of the news as well and subsequently made a few phone calls to several old friends following their instructions.


    Everyone was well aware that the struggle between the Su and Li families was an overt confrontation between the Ye Family and their enemies behind the scenes. Although Ye Changfeng''s old friends agreed to help, they too needed time.


    While everyone was anxiously waiting, Su Yixue''s phone suddenly rang. It was the call from the financial director, "President Su, our ounts have been restored to normal! The bank just called and said it was an operational error on their part, for which they are extremely sorry!"


    Huh?


    An error?


    I don''t believe you for a second!


    Su Yixue listened to the financial director''s report over the phone, filled with immense doubt.


    The police had already made it very clear that this was retaliation from their adversaries against the Su Family. How could it possibly be an error?


    Just a moment ago, Su Yixue had inquired with several leaders in the Provincial City, exining the situation. They all said that the matter was very tricky and that they couldn''t help at the moment, politely declining!


    The situation with Xia Hao wasn''t looking good either!


    "Sister Linglong, is it someone from your side?" After finishing the call with the financial director, Su Yixue looked at Yu Linglong with some puzzlement.


    Among those present, on the surface, it seemed that only Yu Linglong and Lei Qianjue were in touch with the top-tier people capable of handling the situation. It was highly likely that their connections were involved.


    "No, not from me. My grandfather''s friend is still making calls; it''s impossible for the ounts to have been unfrozen so quickly," Yu Linglong was also full of doubt. Her contacts hadn''t even started moving, and the Su Corporation''s ounts were already unfrozen?


    "Divine Doctor Lei, you?" Su Yixue once again turned her gaze towards Lei Qianjue.


    Lei Qianjue shook his head, "Not from my side, my few old friends have promised to help, but the speed couldn''t possibly be this fast."


    If it wasn''t the people they had asked for help, then who could it be?


    Xia Hao, standing by, quietly listened to the conversation between Su Yixue and the others, casting a subtle nce towards Ye Fan.


    Such swift action could only likely be Young Master Ye, right?


    What kind of power did Young Master Ye have behind him to resolve the situation perfectly within ten minutes?


    "Everyone, look quickly, the top news on the hot search on the phone... A certain big shot from the Provincial City has been arrested for economic crimes, along with the person in charge of Cloud City''s Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Mr. Yang, the president of Cloud City Huaqi Bank, Mr. Qian, the Tax Bureau''s Mr. Zhang..."


    Someone shouted, and everyone hurriedly pulled out their phones, clicking on the top trending news article, only to be stunned...

 Chapter 57 Nether Group Makes Its Move! Can You Touch Pang Hai?

    Industry and Commerce, Taxation, Police, Banks... and then the big shot in the Provincial City, isn''t this aplete chain?


    Just happens to be the departments needed to seal the Su Corporation''s ounts, they don''t make a move earlier orter, but they are caught right at this time?


    Hiss!


    The people present were the elite of the elite; with a little thought, they immediately understood.


    All these were directly rted to the sealing of the Su Corporation''s ounts, yet they were retaliated against in such a short time.


    It''s utterly terrifying!


    Even at the peak of the Ye Family''s power, it wouldn''t have been possible to use their power within ten minutes to arrest all relevant personnel and simultaneously unfreeze the Su Corporation''s ounts, right?


    To mobilize so many officials, bnce the power rtions among the major powers, how much influence would it take to do that?


    It''s too frightening!


    However, regardless, that force was clearly standing on the side of the Su Corporation.


    The ounts of the Su Corporation had been unfrozen, and no one was taken away, which had a minor impact on the Su Family. As long as those photos taken deliberately by some when the uniformed personnel came into action don''t get out, subject to malicious spection, then the Su Corporation could bepletely out of trouble!


    Ding ling ling!


    Su Yixue''s phone rang again; it was Chen Wei, the newly appointed president of Huaqi Bank in Cloud City, "Miss Su, I am Chen Wei, the newly appointed president of Huaqi Bank. First of all, I would like to express the most sincere apologies on behalf of Huaqi Bank to Miss Su for the trouble caused by Qian Tao''s irregr operation. We will convene a press conference to exin to the public."


    "I have already unfrozen the Su Corporation''s ounts at the first instance, and additionally, President Pang Hai of the Nether Group asked me to send his regards to Miss Su. In a couple of days, he intends to visit you personally in Cloud City!"


    Chen Wei''s words left Su Yixue somewhat bewildered, "Ah? Elder Pang?"


    The Nether Group, a colossal entity that dominates the Thirteen Provinces of the Southwest and influences the whole of Great Xia, reportedly has assets exceeding the trillion mark.


    Such a big shot, who usually deals with at least the circles in Provincial City and the Capital, how could a small n like the Su Family catch Elder Pang''s eye?


    And now Elder Pang was saying he would personally visit her in Cloud City, this... how could this be possible?


    Su Yixue hung up the phone and nced at Yu Linglong, Lei Qianjue, Xia Hao, and others. The power of any of these families was not enough to make Elder Pang stoop to meet her.


    At this moment, Su Yixue also understood that the force that rescued the Su Family this time must be the power from Elder Pang''s side.


    Elder Pang''s dominance in the Southwest, coupled with his extensive connections in the Capital, meant that with the Nether Group, he indeed could protect the Su Corporation, but it was still too fast... In less than half an hour, all those who suppressed the Su Corporation were dealt with. There must be a Super Power hidden behind the Nether Group!


    If it''s not Sister Linglong and the others, then who else could make Elder Pang take action?


    Ye Fan?


    When Su Yixue''s gaze finally fell on Ye Fan, her heart couldn''t help but leap. Previously, Xia Hao''s assistance to the Su Corporation was because of Ye Fan; could it be that Elder Pang was also returning a favor?


    There''s a terrifying force stronger than the Ye Family behind Elder Pang? Is this... Ye Fan''s final trump card?


    But Ye Fan was still in a state of stupor, and nothing could be gleaned from him!


    Fortunately, despite all the twists and turns, the Su Corporation had not suffered any mishaps!


    "Alright! Ladies and gentlemen, now that the situation has been resolved, let''s continue to dine in peace!"


    ...


    In the Northwest, within a separate garden, Elder Zhang''s subordinate, a man known by the codename "Lone Wolf," looked at the reports his men brought back. He was so enraged that he smashed the screen in front of him with his fist. "What the hell? A mere Su Family, even after we exerted pressure using that high-ranking official from the province, we couldn''t handle them?"


    "Those fools in Cloud City were all taken down in one fell swoop by the military, a bunch of ipetents!"


    Lone Wolf threw the documents in his hand one by one, nearly going insane with anger!


    When he saw thetest news, that even that bigwig from the province had been arrested, his expression finally turned grave, "What''s going on? Does the Ye Family still have the capability to get Elder Li arrested so quickly?"


    Lone Wolf looked through the reports in shock. Everyone including Elder Li��the leaders in charge of industry andmerce in Provincial City, Cloud City''s industry andmerce department, the bank executives involved in this incident��all arrested without exception?


    "Captain Chu, it''s not that the brothers didn''t put in effort; we''ve already investigated clearly�� Nether Group has made a move!" a subordinate next to him reported somewhat nervously.


    "Nether Group? That old bastard Pang Hai actually dared to interfere in our affairs? Why?" Nether Group was such a colossal entity, with assets over a trillion, everyone knew it was a fat target, but no one dared to touch it. There must be a reason.


    Although Chu Feng served as Elder Zhang''s Guard Captain, his right-hand man, he still wasn''t privy to the secrets behind Elder Pang.


    "Damn it! That bastard, ruining our good deed. I''ll personally lead men to Tiannan Province now and ughter Ye Fan and that son of a bitch together!" Chu Feng was extremely annoyed. Despite several attempts, they hadn''t caused any substantial damage to the Su Corporation or the Ye Family.


    Not only was Elder Zhang dissatisfied, but Chu Feng was also unhappy with himself.


    "Hold on! Xiao Feng, after all these years with me, are you still so impetuous?" Just as Chu Feng stood up, Elder Zhang, wrapped in a coat, entered from outside and scolded Chu Feng, "You think you can take on Pang Hai? You''re merely at the Grandmaster Realm, do you think Pang Hai''s strength is any less than yours?"


    "Moreover, do you even know who''s behind Pang Hai?"


    Looking at the solemnity on Elder Zhang''s face, Chu Feng curiously asked, "Elder Zhang, who exactly is behind Pang Hai? Why would he dare to meddle in our affairs, doesn''t he know that behind us is..."


    "Don''t talk nonsense!" Elder Zhang quickly interrupted Chu Feng and continued, "Now that Pang Hai has intervened, itplicates things with the Su Corporation! I''m not clear on why he wants to help the Su Corporation, and I don''t care what else you do in Cloud City... Just avoid direct conflict with Pang Hai for now, understand?"


    "The force behind Pang Hai, we still need time to maneuver against it! I think, soon, Pang Hai''s reliance will crumble, and then we can settle the score with him!"


    Elder Zhang''s brow furrowed as he looked at the results on the screen. Annoyed, he said, "The key problem now is, everyone knows the Li Family was supporting our fight against the Su Corporation. With the Li Family''s downfall and the Su Family''s triumph, we''re in a passive position. If we don''t make a move soon, those who are neutral might just shift their stance!"


    "Elder Zhang! I know what to do!"


    With a resolute gaze, Chu Feng called over a few subordinates and strode out of the separate garden.


    After Chu Feng left, Elder Zhang rubbed his temples and sighed deeply, "Things are getting more and more troublesome! s, testing the waters... Chu Feng, I hope your stone creates some ripples!"


    Elder Zhang''s secretary''s gaze flickered slightly, "Elder Zhang! You know that Captain Chu has no chance of survival on this trip; why let him go?"


    Elder Zhang gave a faint smile, "The situation with the Ye Family is moreplicated than we thought. I sent Chu Feng because I want to see what other aces the Ye Family might have up their sleeve. Could it be that genius anomaly of the Ye Family has awoken? If there''s any feedback, we can quickly adjust our strategy!"

 Chapter 58 Must Kill Even If a Fool!

    Cloud City, inside the President''s office of Xuan Corporation!


    Xuan Yufei looked at the news about the Su Family on the TV screen, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment, "The Su Family... actually so lucky, they dodged a disaster... s, Brother Fan..."


    Although she spoke of luck, Xuan Yufei knew very well that the Su Family''s recent sh with the Li Family, and their sess, could not possibly be due to luck.


    Her second uncle had announced his intent to break off the engagement with the Ye Family, and that''s why Xuan Yufei hesitated.


    Because Xuan Yufei also took into ount that if those opponents eliminated all the Ye Family''s descendants in one day, they would definitely not spare the remaining members of the Ye Family, even if Ye Fan was a fool, he could be killed at any moment.


    Xuan Yufei''s judgment at the time was that the Ye Family was beyond hope.


    But with so many things happening in the past few days, seven sisters-inw announcing they would marry Ye Fan, the Zhao Family being wiped out mysteriously, Li Yunyang dying violently on the night of his engagement to her, until now, with theplete copse of the Li Family... Xuan Yufei gradually realized a problem.


    The Ye Family, it seems, is not as simple as she thought.


    In the Provincial City, the Xia Family, the Guo Family, all were sparing no effort in supporting the Su Corporation, obviously aiming for Ye Fan!


    If she hadn''t broken off her engagement with Ye Fan, then the one standing by her side now should have been herself!


    s!


    "Where are Brother Fan and the others now?" Xuan Yufei asked after a slight hesitation, turning to her secretary.


    At the hospital, Xuan Yufei had already told Ye Fan that she wouldn''t give up so easily.


    If she indeed hurt Ye Fan that day, then she would make double thepensation.


    "Young Master Ye should be at the Imperial City Hotel celebrating with people from the Su Corporation!"


    "Good! Cancel the meeting this afternoon, I''ll go find Brother Fan!" After informing her secretary briefly and changing into a seductive outfit, Xuan Yufei drove towards the Imperial City Hotel.


    "Director Xuan... You..." The secretary watched as Xuan Yufei left and shook his head, "Director Xuan really, just after regaining control of thepany, is doing this... sigh..."


    ...


    Imperial City Hotel, inside the banquet hall on the eighth floor!


    Su Honghai, Su Minghao, and other core members of the Su Family were very happy today, "Everyone make sure to eat well and drink well, don''t shortchange yourselves! The Su Family''s sess today, owes much to all of you!"


    Just from the new drugunch event today, the Su Family had taken in several tens of billions in deposits.


    With this money, the Su Family could open ten new production lines within two months. Plus the Snow Face ster Prescription gifted by Mr. Lei, the future was sure to be a boom, the production lines no less than money printing machines.


    Many big shots, whom Su Honghai and Su Minghao could not even contact before, now greeted them with respectful calls of President Su.


    And Su Honghai was very clear about the reason for this.


    Because of Ye Fan... Even though Ye Fan was still in a foolish state, Mr. Lei had said there was a possibility he could awaken. If someday Ye Fan did awaken and returned to his peak prodigious state, then the Su Family would definitely soar alongside the Ye Family.


    In the crowd, some distributors, seeing Su Honghai''s proud demeanor, felt indignant, "Look at him, so smug!"


    "What can you do about it? Don''t you wish you had a beautiful daughter too?"


    "Don''t talk nonsense, otherwise you''ll end up like the Zhao Family! But did you notice something? Such a big event happened with the Su Family today, and yet there''s not a single word online... Those news of police arrests, ount freezes, shouldn''t absolutely nothing have leaked out?"


    Upon that reminder, everyone quietly took out their mobile phones to search for news online.


    It was not a big deal if they hadn''t searched, but the moment they did, they only found high-profile video information about the Su Family''s new drug release conference and Cloud City''s Huaqi Bank''s apology video; as for other negative news about the Su Corporation, there wasn''t a hint!


    "This is wrong, way too abnormal! If the Ye Family''s rivals are targeting the Su Family, how could they not let the negative news spread?"


    "Exactly! If I were one of the Ye Family''s rivals, I would do the same thing. I would make sure that those who support the Ye Family see what happens when they cross me!"


    ...


    Meanwhile, in the northwest, aboard a ne preparing to take off, Lone Wolf Chu Feng looked at the news on his phone and erupted in anger again, "What''s going on? Have all the media outlets we''ve coborated with gone mute? Howe not a single piece of the many negative news stories about the Su Family has been released?"


    This was originally a three-pronged strategy arranged by Chu Feng!


    Freeze the Su Family''s ounts, arrest the core members of the Su Family, break down the Su Corporation, and then create public opinion that showed everyone the consequences of supporting the Ye Family.


    Then he nned to use the same methods against families like Yu Linglong and Shen Mange.


    But now, even before he could take the first step, it was already aplete disaster!


    "Captain Chu, it''s not that we''re not releasing anything, but all the media we control have been monitored and banned... As soon as any negative news about the Su Family is posted, it gets deleted forcibly within a second, not evensting longer, and some ces couldn''t even upload it... It must be the Nether Group pushing back..."


    "Is the Nether Group that powerful?" Chu Feng''s brows furrowed tightly, it appeared he had underestimated the Nether Group.


    Even though Elder Zhang had warned him, Chu Feng, before his departure, still wanted to test the Nether Group headed by Pang Hai.


    But now, Chu Feng began to hesitate. After pondering for a moment, Chu Feng made a decision, "Forget those for now! Let''s focus on taking down Ye Fan and the Su Family first, preferably by eradicating thempletely!"


    If the Su Family and Ye Family continued to be so arrogant, then all the nsid out by the elder would be in vain.


    Those neutral forces might side with the Ye Family, and even those forces that supported the elder before might choose to back the Ye Family.


    "Yes!"


    "By the way, how about the Liu Family in Provincial City? Have they made their move? After being nurtured for so many years, it''s about time they contributed!" Chu Feng''s face revealed a shadow of darkness, "Liu Ran, that good-for-nothing, hmph! Once I''m done with the matters in Cloud City, I''ll deal with him!"


    "Captain, the Liu Family has sent the eldest young master, Liu Qingyang, who has already set off!"


    "That''s more like it! This time, even if Ye Fan pretends to be a fool, he won''t be allowed to live on!" Ye Fan was a fool; before, those above were still hesitating about whether to spare Ye Fan''s life, but now that Lei Qianjue has mentioned Ye Fan might awaken, he can''t be left alive.


    Otherwise, those supporting the Ye Family would always have hope!


    ...


    Imperial City Hotel, Ye Fan, Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and others were sitting at a table, watching the people celebrating jubntly; Ye Fan''s brows furrowed slightly.


    Although the Su Family had achieved a temporary victory, Ye Fan knew that for the Su Family to continue growing, they definitely faced even more challenges.


    His job was to ovee all hardships and crush all rivals in their cradles!


    As Ye Fan was pondering, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the entrance. Xuan Yufei?


    That girl, why has shee again?

 Chapter 59 Keep Your Distance, Im Afraid My Wife Will Get Jealous!

    "Ye Fan,e over and take my hand!"


    As Xuan Yufei walked toward Ye Fan, she whined sweetly, her eyes brimming with anticipation!


    Before, whether Ye Fan was lucid orter became foolishly devoted, he obeyed Xuan Yufei''s everymand. As soon as she gestured, he wouldply.


    He was practically what they call a "loyal dog!"


    Xuan Yufei''s voice wasn''t loud, but many people around clearly heard her, and their gazes simultaneously turned her way.


    Just two days ago, on the day of the Ye Family''s crisis, the Xuan Family broke off the engagement in front of so many people, and everyone was well aware of it.


    "Isn''t that Ye Fan''s former fianc��e? What is she doing here?"


    "Yeah! Does she even have the face to show up? Hmph... She must be jealous upon seeing the Su Family triumph with the support of the Ye Family!"


    Given how hastily the Xuan Family broke off the engagement, kicking someone while they were down, people looked down on them and had no friendly expressions for Xuan Yufei.


    At Ye Fan''s table, Wang Fugui, Guo Li, Xia Hao, and others also heard Xuan Yufei''s call and turned their gazes toward Ye Fan.


    Looking at how sexy and beautiful Xuan Yufei was dressed, Ye Fan felt a twinge in his heart, then shook his head and said, "No, Miss Xuan, I''m afraid my wife Yixue would get jealous!"


    As he spoke, Ye Fan looked toward Su Yixue.


    Meanwhile, after toasting a few guests, Su Yixue noticed Xuan Yufei and quickly walked over to Ye Fan''s side, then intimately wrapped her arm around Ye Fan''s neck, somewhat provocatively saying to Xuan Yufei, "Miss Xuan, wee to my celebration party! Here... my husband and I would like to toast to you. In a way, I should really thank you!"


    As she spoke, Su Yixue picked up two sses of champagne and raised hers to Xuan Yufei.


    Pain!


    Immense pain!


    Fearing his wife Yixue''s jealousy... Upon hearing Ye Fan''s words, Xuan Yufei felt as if her heart was being brutally stabbed by a steel needle, her insides hollowed out!


    Something seemed to have been lost quietly... never to return again!


    "Congrattions!" Xuan Yufei raised her ss in front of her and clinked it with Su Yixue and Ye Fan.


    Herplexion was somewhat pale, her heart screaming, That was supposed to be mine! It was mine!


    It was all the second uncle''s fault for breaking off the engagement in front of so many people, and now look! Her Brother Fan was gone forever.


    But Xuan Yufei was still unwilling to give up, "Brother Fan, thank you for apanying me to Li Yunyang''s engagement party yesterday. Could I treat you to a meal?"


    Maybe, by having a meal alone with Ye Fan and reminiscing about the past, Ye Fan might remember something, and he wouldn''t reject her anymore?


    Ye Fan, of course, understood what was going through Xuan Yufei''s mind.


    But could the damage Xuan Yufei had done that day so easily be repaired?


    "I already have a wife, and you see... my main wife is over there too. I have to queue up just to have a meal with them��1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7��" Ye Fan said seriously as he counted on his fingers, "Dining with you... we can talk about thatter!"


    Although Ye Fan might appear a bit naive, his response was logically impable.


    Yes!


    Xuan Yufei indeed broke off their engagement, but then the seven sisters announced they wanted to marry Ye Fan.


    So, Ye Fan effectively exchanged one wife for seven��a trade of one for seven!


    With such seven stunning wives, what else was there to care about?


    Chuckle!


    Xuan Yufei''s heart was once again struck hard. Was she going to be ced after the seventh?


    It seemed, she truly hurt Brother Fan...


    Xuan Yufei fought back the tears welling up in her eyes and quietly gathered her courage. It''s okay! I must not give up. As long as I don''t give up, there will always be a chance.


    "All right then! I''ll invite Brother Fan some other time when there''s a chance..." Xuan Yufei looked deeply at Su Yixue and said, "President Su, I''m entrusting Brother Fan to you, please take good care of him. I will return at any moment to fight back!"


    Xuan Yufei''s expression was serious as she spoke, as if she was giving instructions, but it also sounded like a deration of war.


    The scene fell silent, everyone''s eyes fixed on Su Yixue and Xuan Yufei, as well as Yu Linglong, who was quietly approaching from behind.


    This was a battlefield between women!


    Xuan Yufei regretted it!


    She wanted to snatch Ye Fan back!


    Still, many were surprised. A fool, what''s so special about him?


    Is it worth it?


    But those who were alert, like Guo Li and Xia Hao, knew that Ye Fan had awakened and his strength had already surpassed that of a Martial Master Venerable. He would soon break through to the Martial Emperor Level!


    A monstrous genius had awakened once more, surpassing yet another peak in strength.


    Whoever gains such a genius gets a tremendous opportunity!


    The arrival of Xuan Yufei was just a small episode!


    The crowd continued to feast and celebrate with abandon!


    Elder Ye Changfeng also appeared at the banquet, but he sat in a private room on the second floor. Watching the scene unfold below, Ye Changfeng sighed, "Ah! Xuan Family''s second child, you couldn''t see the situation clearly, now you regret it, don''t you?"


    "However, you need to urgently investigate why the Nether Group is helping us this much. I''ve had little to do with them in the past," Ye Changfeng said to Captain Leng Feng, "And find out what exactly is going on in the Xuanwu Battle Zone. A major has arrested so many uniformed members, which represents the Xuanwu Battle Zone. Could it be that the Xuanwu Battle Zone is also supporting the Ye Family now?"


    On the day of the Ye Family''s funeral, many superpowers did not send representatives to pay their respects, only expressing condolences from the shadows.


    But now, overnight, it seemed like all the winds had shifted.


    Suddenly bing favorable to the Ye Family!


    What exactly was happening?


    As he finished speaking, Ye Changfeng''s piercing gaze swept over the first-floor hall, then his brow furrowed, "Huh! Where''s Xu Jian? As the CEO of Ye Corporation, shouldn''t he be here at this time? Why do I feel like he has disappeared sincest night?"


    At this point, Captain Leng Feng''s face twitched, and he handed a document to Ye Changfeng, "Elder Ye, we just received this news! Xu Dong was apparently in by the Wang Family at Central Bridge of Cloud Cityst night... The reason being that Xu Dong kidnapped and killed the Eldest Young Master Wang... and now Wang Zhong is hunting Xu Jian all over the city. Xu Jian must be hiding somewhere!"


    Uh?


    "What? Xu Dong kidnapped Wang Chao? Wang Chao is dead too?" Ye Changfeng raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "Was it Wang Chao who arranged for Old Wolf Wu to go after Yixue?"


    "Exactly!" Leng Feng replied. The fact was, they were all very shrewd people, and many doubts had arisen as events unfolded.


    The Zhao Family, coveting Yixue, had made several covert moves against the Su Family, and within one night, were annihted!


    The Wang Family, because they had arranged the assassination of Yixue, ended up with Wang Chao killed and the me pinned on Xu Dong!


    The key point was that Xu Dong and Xu Jian, both harboring no good intentions towards the Ye Family, had always intended to take over Ye Corporation!


    At the Cloud City Li Family, Li Yunyang, under Xuan Zhengguo''s arrangement, wanted to get engaged to Xuan Yufei. However, due to Ye Fan''s interference, not only was the engagement ruined, but Li Yunyang died on the spot.


    Today at the Su Corporation''s new drug release conference, Li Zhong and Qin Tao were dealt with directly by Xia Hao and Li Hu, dering the end of the Li Family!


    Linking all these events together revealed a shocking conclusion!


    In less than three days, all families hostile or detrimental to the Ye Family had been wiped out!


    And all these events were closely connected to Ye Fan!


    "Where was Ye Fanst night?" Ye Changfeng''s heart raced at the thought. Could it be that his grandson had really awakened?


    But if he had awakened, why hadn''t he told him?

 Chapter 60: Chapter 60 The Wang Family and Xu Jian Perish Together!

    "Elder Ye, yesterday our people were tailing him and found that he stayed at the Su Family vi all day," Leng Feng said, a smile emerging at the corner of his mouth, "My brothers heard some sounds that were not suitable for children, which continued until after eleven o''clock before quieting down!" "However, ording to the reports from our brothers, Xia Hao''s car from the Xia Family in Provincial City was spotted outside the Su Family vi twice!"


    Although Young Master Ye is a bitcking in intelligence now, hisbat strength is still strong.


    Given this state, it shouldn''t be long before Elder Ye can hold his great-grandchild.


    "He stayed at the Su Family''s the whole time? Leng Feng, is there any possibility that Ye Fan has already woken up?" Ye Changfeng keenly caught a key piece of information, Why was Xia Hao still guarding outside the Su Family vi sote?


    Maybe he was there to meet Ye Fan for an operation?


    "But our people have been watching from every angle, 360 degrees, and there are surveince cameras too. If Young Master Ye left the Su Family vi, our people couldn''t possibly have missed it!" Although Leng Feng also had his suspicions, he still couldn''t figure it out.


    "Hmph! The people you arranged include only one Grandmaster, plus a few from the Control Realm... You should know that Ye Fan''s strength was at the Grandmaster Realm five years ago. If he wanted to leave quietly, would your men be able to detect him?" Ye Changfeng sighed deeply, "Check carefully again, and remember to keep any news strictly confidential! If Ye Fan has woken up and has not exposed himself, there must be a reason for it!"


    "Yes!"


    A sharp glint shed in Leng Feng''s eyes!


    If the young master had woken up, with his monstrous talent, the Ye Family''s blood feud would surely be avenged greatly!


    ...


    In the Southern Suburbs of Cloud City, Xu Jian owned a secret estate that had been under construction for a long time!


    Last night, after receiving the video sent by a stranger, Xu Jian convened his direct lineage troops to move there overnight.


    "Dad, save me�� please save me... I''m going to be killed by the Wang Family''s people... Dad�� sob��"


    In the living room, Xu Jian once again watched the video in the dossier, seeing his son Xu Dong killed by Wang Zhong wielding a knife, his anger made him p the table, "The Wang Family has gone too far!"


    Xu Dong previously wanted to coborate with the Wang, Zhao, and Li Families to jointly annex the Ye Corporation''s assets.


    Now, the Wangs actually killed Xu Jian''s only son, sparking a feud that cannot end until one side is dead!


    "Boss! The brothers sent word that Wang Zhong seems to have found out where we are staying and is leading people here to attack us. What should we do next?" A man with a scar on his face reported to Xu Jian, his body emanating a strong murderous aura.


    In the courtyard outside, there were over a hundred burly men gathered, most of whom were martial arts experts.


    These were the killer troops that Xu Jian had cultivated over the years and his trump card for his future power struggle with the Ye Family.


    But now that his son had been killed by the Wang Family and they were even trying to take action against Xu Jian himself, he had no choice but to reveal his trump card and fight the Wang Family to the death.


    "Instruct the brothers to prepare, everyone taking charge, act ording to the previous ns, and ensure they have a one-way trip!" A ruthless glint shed in Xu Jian''s eyes!


    Although he also wanted to seize the Ye Family''s assets, the pain of losing his son had driven him to madness.


    Compared with the Ye Family''s assets, Xu Jian wished more for the Wang Family to die.


    What Xu Jian hadn''t told his subordinates was that during the estate''s construction, he had already secretly buried several tons of explosives under the estate. The amount of high explosives was enough to level everything within a kilometer.


    If he really couldn''t overpower the Wang Family''s people, Xu Jian had already decided to drag Wang Zhong down with him in mutual destruction!


    "But, boss, the Wang Family has brought a lot of people this time, and their strength is not weak��it''s several times ours. We''re afraid it''s a bit difficult!" The scarred man conveyed his concerns.


    Xu Jian smiled faintly, "What''s there to fear? You''ve been following me for so many years, and the funds for this operation have already been given to your families. Even if you die, you won''t be treated unfairly! Besides, we have so many mechanisms here; what does it matter if they have more people?"


    Even at this moment, Xu Jian was still brainwashing his subordinates!


    ```


    ...


    In the Royal Hotel, everyone was somewhat drunk when Guo Li''s phone suddenly chimed with a notification.


    Guo Li opened his phone to see an unfamiliar text message.


    "Based on intelligence, a martial arts expert from the Northwest has arrived, with at least the strength of a Martial Venerable and seems to be targeting the Su Family! Additionally, Young Master Liu of Provincial City, Liu Qingyang, has already reached Cloud City and is also nning to move against the Su Family�� Be cautious!"


    Although the text message was unsigned, Guo Li knew that it must be the result of the call Ye Fan made earlier. It was a warning for them!


    Guo Li quietly showed the text message on his phone to Ye Fan, letting him take a quick nce.


    Ye Fan''s mouth twitched as he whispered, "I''m only afraid they won''te! If they dare to show up, we can follow the vine to get to the melon, and find the hidden mastermind!"


    To nearly annihte the Ye family and act simultaneously in the Six Major War Zones was definitely not something an ordinary force could aplish. The ones making moves upfront were just pawns, but it was through these pawns that they would step by step draw out the big fish behind the scenes.


    The reason Ye Fan was pretending to be oblivious now was to avoid rming the real mastermind behind the scenes.


    After all, having reached the Grandmaster Realm at just fifteen years old, his awakening would definitely cause a storm throughout the entire Great Xia, and with the rise of the Qilin Child of the Ye Family, the revival of the Ye Family was unstoppable.


    Perhaps those who orchestrated the annihtion of the Ye family would quietly hide away, making it impossible for Ye Fan to find them again.


    While Guo Li and Ye Fan were still quietly conversing, the big screen in the hall, which was switching songs, suddenly changed to the news channel, and everyone saw a shocking piece of news.


    "We interrupt this program to bring you a breaking news! Just moments ago, in the Southern Suburbs of Cloud City, a major explosion urred at a manor... Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident involved the CEO of Ye Corporation acting on his own initiative. He led his subordinates and shed with the Wang family''s bodyguards, ultimately triggering explosives, resulting in mutual destruction... The dead are preliminarily identified to include Wang family head Wang Zhong, core member Wang Tao, and Ye Corporation''s senior executive L�� Kuan, among others..."


    mor!


    The sudden news made everyone at the scene explode into an uproar!


    Last night, Eldest Young Master Wang seemed to have been kidnapped and a ransom failed. Only a few people knew about this message, but today it had already started to spread.


    Insiders revealed that Wang Chao was the financial backer behind Old Wolf Wu, having instructed him to attack Su Yixue, albeit unsessfully!


    Last night, Wang Chao was kidnapped and killed, and today the Wang family shed with Xu Jian and was utterly defeated? Mutual destruction?


    "Damn!"


    In the private room on the second floor, Ye Changfeng was so shocked that he burst into expletives.


    What the hell!


    Isn''t this too coincidental?


    Using another''s hand to kill?


    The Wang family moved against Su Yixue, and Xu Jian wanted to control the Ye Corporation... And now, two of the Ye family''s potential enemies wiped each other out in infighting?


    Any person with a normal IQ would not believe such a coincidence in the sequence of events!


    "Was Wang Chao really killed by Xu Dong''s kidnapping? Why do I find that so hard to believe?" Ye Changfeng''s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked down at Ye Fan, who was talking to Guo Li, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.


    Xiao Fan, oh Xiao Fan, you''ve kept your grandfather in the dark...


    The prosperity of the Ye Family depends on you!


    ```

 Chapter 61 Liu Qingyang Insulting to the Face? Wont Indulge You!

    The Wang Family and Xu Jian were annihted at the same time, such explosive news caused quite a stir on the scene!


    Everyone turned their gaze toward the table where Ye Fan was seated!


    Su Yixue also frowned as she looked toward Ye Fan, the Wang Family had just pursued herst night, and today they were subjected to such retaliation, directly annihted!


    Considering the fate of the Li and Zhao Families before, it was difficult for Su Yixue not to connect these events with Ye Fan.


    But unlike others, Su Yixue knew very well that when the Zhao Family and Wang Chao were killed, Ye Fan should have been lying by her side, surrounded by bodyguards from the Su Family, as well as the Ye Family. It seemed improbable for Ye Fan to have had the opportunity to make a move!


    Could it be that Ye Fan had arranged for Xia Hao and others to take action?


    This matter confirmed something for the merchants present at the scene once more!


    That was, although the Ye Family had suffered a severe blow, they were not going to die off just yet, and once they caught their breath, Ye Fan would surely strike back furiously.


    Following the Ye Family, Su Corporation, Yu Linglong, Shen Mange, Ling Yanqiu, and others would certainly reap huge benefits in the future!


    And those merchants who chose to cooperate with Su Corporation at this time would also certainly reap considerable rewards!


    "Lucky, lucky us! We got on board early!"


    "Yes! The Su Family''s ounts were frozen and unfrozen in ten minutes, it''s simply too incredible!"


    As people were expressing their amazement, there suddenly came a round of apuse from the entrance of the hall.


    "Congrattions, Miss Su! Today''s press conference was a great sess! I came uninvited; surely, Miss Su, you won''t be unweing, right?" A young man in a pink suit walked towards the hall while pping continuously.


    "Liu Qingyang, you sure made it here quickly!" Guo Li, as a major young master of Provincial City, naturally recognized Liu Qingyang. This Liu Qingyang was the eldest son of the Liu Family of Provincial City, known to be sinister and vicious. It was rumored that he had killed his half-brother''s mother��and he was just a teenager at the time.


    Hearing Guo Li''s words, Liu Qingyang''s brows couldn''t help but furrow. Something about Guo Li''s words seemed off.


    It seemed like Guo Li knew he wasing to Cloud City?


    But he had only received Captain Chu''s phone call two hours ago and had made ast-minute decision to leave. Could Guo Li''s information channels be that powerful?


    "Liu Qingyang, I advise you better note here to join the fun. Or else the fate of the Zhao, Li, and Wang Families of Cloud City will befall your Liu Family!" The extinction of the three major families was no longer a secret.


    Liu Qingyang had just seen the news of the sh between the Wang Family and Xu Jian on his way to Cloud City.


    These were the mortal enemies of the Ye Family, and now they began to fight amongst themselves, which didn''t make sense. There must be some secrets unknown to outsiders.


    But, reasoning backward, the Ye Family, which stood to gain the most, was likely to have been pulling strings behind the scenes.


    However, now in the Ye Family, all of the young disciples had been wiped out, leaving only Ye Changfeng, who was ill. Could he, after such a blow, be capable of orchestrating so many schemes?


    If not Ye Changfeng, could it be Ye Fan, the fool?


    Liu Qingyang focused his gaze on Ye Fan, who still wore his honest-looking face, leaning on Su Yixue''s shoulder, meanwhile holding Yu Linglong''s hand with his other hand.


    God damn it!


    Su Yixue and Yu Linglong, those were both peerless beauties.


    A normal person would ascend to the heavens just by obtaining one, yet Ye Fan had two at the same time!


    No, it was seven��there were five others not present there, but they had also announced they would marry Ye Fan.


    After carefully observing Ye Fan, Liu Qingyang noticed that there was no fluctuation of martial breath on Ye Fan; he appeared as silly and stupefied as ever, showing no signs of awakening. It was improbable that Ye Fan was secretly taking action, right?


    "Could it be that Captain Chu is overthinking things?"


    "If it''s not Ye Changfeng, not Ye Fan, then it must be the actions of people like Guo Li and Xia Hao."


    "Hmph!"


    "It seems that in addition to teaching the Su Family a lesson, we also need to handle the Guo and Xia families with some means. Otherwise, if these two great families continue to meddle, plus the Nether Group''s secret involvement, they will be very passive."


    "Young Master Guo, I think you''d better worry about yourself first! Don''t meddle in other people''s affairs; if something happens in your own house, you''ll end up regretting it toote!" Liu Qingyang''s words were indifferent, but the threat of provocation in them was very clear, "Patriarch Xia, you too, oh, there might still be time to extricate yourselves!"


    What Liu Qingyang did not know was that Guo Li and Xia Hao were the only two people around Ye Fan who were clear-headed. They knew very well that Ye Fan had awakened.


    The demonically talented genius had returned once again, and his strength was even greater than before.


    With the return of such a genius, who could stop him with Wang Fugui the warrior, Guo Li the schr assisting, and the immense support of the Tianji Pavilion behind him?


    The corners of Guo Li''s and Xia Hao''s mouths twitched slightly, followed by a faint smile.


    Liu Qingyang hade today mainly on Chu Feng''s orders to probe Ye Fan. As his words fell, holding a wine ss, he walked up to Ye Fan and said, "Young Master Ye, what a pity... you''ve be a fool now! With such beautiful wives, can you use them at night? Haha!"


    Insult!


    This was nothing short of an insult to the face!


    "If Young Master Ye doesn''t know how to use them, I can bring my wife tonight to teach you. I''ll make sure the two madams are satisfied!"


    Bang!


    While Liu Qingyang was still muttering, Ye Fan had already acted. He grabbed a pot of boiling soup that had just been served on the table and smashed it down on Liu Qingyang''s head, "You shameless beast! Yixue my wife said that at night, they can only sleep with me. What are you thinking? If you want to sleep... go home and sleep with your mother..."


    Hiss!


    "Ah! My face... my head, damn... you''re crazy..." The scalding hot water poured down Liu Qingyang''s head, and although he had reached the Martial Arts Control Peak years ago, with his current power spected to be in the Grandmaster Realm, he still jumped up as if he were going mad from the scalding burn.


    Since he was too close, Liu Qingyang didn''t even have the chance to dodge.


    In that instant, Liu Qingyang couldn''t tell if Ye Fan had truly be a fool, or if he was just pretending.


    Was Ye Fan''s reaction so swift?


    "You son of a bitch, you''re looking for death..." Liu Qingyang''s entire body was filled with killing intent, and he swung his fists, ready to make a move against Ye Fan.


    "Linglong my wife, I''m scared!" Ye Fan, terrified, dodged with a quick move, hiding directly behind Yu Linglong. The fear in his eyes didn''t seem feigned at all!


    Guo Li on the side couldn''t help but curl his lips. Life is a y, all based on acting, huh?


    Big brother, well done!


    "How dare you run wild here, you''ve picked the wrong ce! Try touching a single hair on my man!" Yu Linglong stepped forward, and her formidable presence began to stir!


    At the same time, Guo Li and Wang Fugui also stepped forward. The three Grandmasters surrounded Liu Qingyang, and for a moment, he found it difficult to breathe!


    Why should a fool like Ye Fan have so many powerful protectors?


    Liu Qingyang knew that it was unlikely he could do anything here.


    He would only wait for a chance to strike when Ye Fan was alone...

 Chapter 62 Provoking at the Edge of Death!

    "You''re vicious... huh! You can protect him for a moment, but can you protect him for a lifetime?"


    Taking a step back, Liu Qingyang red wickedly at Yu Linglong and others, "I''m afraid it won''t be long before Ye Fan''s corpse will be exposed in the wilderness, and by then, you''ll all be true widows... Haha, do you really want to remarry that old Ye Family geezer?"


    Liu Qingyangughed wildly, stirring an uncontroble killing intent within Ye Fan!


    As Liu Qingyang continued his brazen taunts and passed by Ye Fan, he whispered in Ye Fan''s ear, "Idiot, do you know? Your second brother died a really miserable death. At the time, I stabbed him over a dozen times, even severing his tendons one by one... Hehe, in the end, that pitiful guy even kneeled and begged me to spare you... Sadly, you''ll soon be joining him..."


    Huh?


    In an instant, Ye Fan''s pupils contracted violently!


    The true culprit responsible for the annihtion of the Ye Family was finally showing his face?


    Ye Fan had not anticipated that the Liu Family of Provincial City would also partake in the action!


    In the Southwest Vermilion Bird War Zone, the Liu Family actually took part in the assassination of his elder brother Ye Lingjun?


    Seeking death!


    At that moment, Ye Fan could no longer contain the rage in his heart and suddenly reached out to grab Liu Qingyang.


    Looking at Ye Fan triumphantly, Liu Qingyang said, "What, you want to hit me? Now that I''ve told you the truth, what can you do about it?"


    This time, even if he couldn''t handle Ye Fan himself, with Captain Chu Feng joining the operation, wouldn''t it be easy for Chu Feng to deal with Ye Fan?


    Ye Fan knew that Liu Qingyang''s main purpose ining here was to provoke him and make him reveal himself.


    Once he exposed himself, those behind the scenes targeting the Ye Family would either crazily stop at nothing to assassinate Ye Fan or go into deep hiding.


    So...


    Ye Fan rapidly thrust out with a silver needle, a stream of Qi Force carrying an odorless and tasteless poison prating into Liu Qingyang''s body.


    Not exposing himself didn''t mean Ye Fan had no means to deal with Liu Qingyang. At the engagement party of the Li Family, Ye Fan had managed to kill Li Yunyang without raising any suspicion, so he could certainly kill Liu Qingyang as well.


    However, Ye Fan didn''t n to let Liu Qingyang die so quickly, but rather wanted him to experience the agony of a fate worse than death!


    "Ah? What are you doing?" Liu Qingyang was stabbed with a start, and although it was just a sudden sharpness on his skin, he felt the pain bore deep into his marrow as if his soul itself was being seared.


    At the same time, a faint presence began circting within Liu Qingyang''s body, seemingly merging with his meridians.


    What... what is this?


    Although he felt something was off, after a careful check, Liu Qingyang didn''t detect anything else and fiercely red at Ye Fan before quickly leaving the scene.


    ...


    The Su Family banquet continued until the afternoon, after which everyone dispersed.


    Yu Linglong took her leave, as disturbances from the Japanese Dog in the Southeast War Zone had been increasing recently, and more martial arts masters were being dispatched there; Yu Linglong needed to return tomand.


    Su Yixue went back to Su Corporation to start working on the expansion and production of the medical business.


    With Guo Li and Wang Fugui apanying Ye Fan, Su Yixue and others were reassured.


    "Big brother, what''s our next move?" Once the banquet was over, Guo Li and Wang Fugui walked ahead, followed by Xia Hao, Li Hu, and others.


    Elder Pang provided intelligence that a big shot from the Northwest had been dispatched, and Liu Qingyang of the Provincial City had also arrived in Cloud City to take action.


    The others didn''t understand the meaning behind Liu Qingyang''s scream earlier, but Guo Li and Xia Hao knew that Ye Fan must have done something to Liu Qingyang!


    Ye Fan must certainly have a n for the next move!


    Just as Ye Fan was about to speak, Ye Changfeng, the Old Master, approached him quickly with Leng Feng from a nearby car.


    "Elder Ye!"


    Guo Li and the others respectfully greeted Elder Ye, who had been presiding over the Northern region for many years, rightfully earning the title of King of the Northern Region.


    "Hmm!" Ye Changfeng was very satisfied with these youngpanions who were always at Ye Fan''s side, "You all are doing well. I won''t say much about Guo Li and Wang Fugui! Mr. Xia, if you face any obstacles in your business in Provincial City, you can call this number to reach Jiang Cheng, the Provincial Defense Chief. He is my student. Just tell him I sent you to him!"


    While speaking, Ye Changfeng handed a business card to Xia Hao.


    "Ah! Thank you, Elder Ye!" Xia Hao respectfully took the business card, feeling a great shock inside, and instinctively nced at Ye Fan.


    There were benefits to being at Ye Fan''s side. Ye Fan had previously given him such incredible Elixir Pills and with Ye Fan''s potential for the future, even without any benefits, Xia Hao would do his utmost!


    Seeing that Ye Fan did not object, Xia Hao then put away the business card.


    Although it was just a business card, Xia Hao knew all too well what it signified.


    The Provincial Defense Chief of Tiannan Province was a powerful figure dominating Tiannan, and with his support, at least within Tiannan Province, few would dare to trouble the Xia Family.


    This was a real treasure sword, truly useful and wieldable.


    Although Xia Hao was discreet in looking at Ye Fan, Ye Changfeng, who had been carefully observing Xia Hao, saw his reaction very clearly.


    Just handing over a business card required permission from Ye Fan?


    Ye Changfeng was now eighty percent sure that Ye Fan must have already recovered and that Xia Hao was likely one of the informed parties.


    In recent times, many things had been done with Xia Hao apanying Ye Fan.


    Leading Li Hu to rescue Su Yixue, dealing with the Li Family, and using others to deal with the Wang Family and Xu Jian father and son... all of it now made sense!


    In front of outsiders, Ye Fan still needed to continue pretending to be a fool. But when it came down to the actual actions and strategic nning, someone had to carry them out.


    So Xia Hao was the perfect person to cover up and execute these tasks, and now that Guo Li had returned, as a former brother and strategist, Schr Guo was fully qualified too!


    Therefore, Guo Li and Xia Hao must be the informed parties!


    As for Wang Fugui, this Big Fool, although his strength was good, his mouth... so he was likely kept in the dark!


    After specting on all the matters, Ye Changfeng finally understood why Xia Hao was able to organize the Su Family press conference so tightly?


    Ye Fan was a monstrous genius; when awake, his talents and intellect were top-notch, and it all made sense now!


    "Now that Xu Jian father and son have met their end along with the Wang Family! Ye Corporation also has a sizable capital scale and needs people to help manage... Mr. Xia, Guo Li, I intend to teach Ye Corporation to Ye Fan. I''ll report to the board of directors and appoint you both as vice presidents of the group... No objections, right?"


    Guo Li''s reaction was quite normal, as titles like president didn''t matter to him.


    He knew that even if Ye Fan was lucid, after Ye Corporation was handed over to Ye Fan, he would most likely still pass it on to him.


    But Xia Hao was once again astonished; an outsider himself, merely the head of the Xia Family in Provincial City with assets just over a hundred billion, he was nothingpared to the Ye Family!


    And Elder Ye was appointing him as the vice president of Ye Corporation in a blink of an eye��what immense trust that was!


    "This�� Elder Ye, this is not appropriate��" His original intention ining to find Ye Fan was to repay a debt of gratitude, but in just a few days, the benefits he had received had already reached heights unimaginable to many!


    Xia Hao wanted to look at Ye Fan yet again for guidance, but Guo Li couldn''t stand it any longer and directly cut him off, "Director Xia, since Elder Ye has arranged this, let''s just follow Elder Ye''s ns! Later, when Young Master Ye awakens, we can always resign!"

 Chapter 63 Please Help Me Kill My Eldest Brother and Biological Father, Young Master Ye!

    This Xia Hao ismendably loyal!


    But he is just too loyal. With the way he keeps asking for instructions from big brother, Wang Fugui, and others, maybe they won''t realize how astute Old Master Ye is?


    One look, and you''ve basically revealed everything!


    So, Guo Li directly interrupted Xia Hao''s further inquiries.


    Ye Changfeng gave a slight smile from the side. It seemed that Guo Li''s wisdom in taking on the role of Ye Fan''s military strategist was not without reason.


    Although Guo Li''s talent might be slightly inferior to Ye Fan''s, in terms of strategizing, he was at least able to keep up with Ye Fan''s pace.


    "You all go to thepany first. I''m going to greet a few old friends and will be right there!" On the other side, Lei Qianjue had already gathered those old friends together!


    The Ye Family''s rivals had gone too far, almost wiping out the Ye Family and still not letting go, even wanting to kill Lei Qianjue, just for fear that Lei Qianjue might heal and awaken Ye Fan.


    Therefore, we can''t just sit here and wait for death now!


    Previously, Ye Changfeng wasn''t very enthusiastic about Lei Qianjue''s actions.


    But after the recent turn of events, realizing that his exceptional grandson was very possibly already awake, Ye Changfeng developed a strong interest as well.


    The Ye Family can already see hope!


    Moreover, in the North, there''s the million-strong Tianlong Army. As long as I have a breath in me, the Ye Banner won''t fall!


    As long as the Tianlong Army is sessfully handed over to Ye Fan, then the Ye Family won''t fall!


    It''s time to start counterattacking!


    No sooner had Ye Changfeng left than another young man in a floral shirt quickly rushed over from the side!


    Thump!


    Without any hesitation, the youth in the floral shirt kneeled down before Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, please help me annihte Liu Qingyang and the Liu Family. If sessful, I, Liu Wuyang, am willing toy down my life and serve Young Master Ye as a bull and horse!"


    Hmm?


    Frowning at the youth before him, Ye Fan''s brow furrowed.


    Simr!


    Too simr!


    The youth before him, although dressed differently from Liu Qingyang who had rushed into the meeting earlier, bore an eighty percent resemnce.


    Also surnamed Liu, was this Liu Wuyang from the Liu Family?


    The people from the Liu Family wanted to ask him to destroy their own n? What did this mean?


    Next to him, Guo Li looked at Liu Wuyang in surprise and said, "Second Young Master Liu? Weren''t you always chasing after girls, stirring up scandals with beautiful celebrities? How did youe to find Young Master Ye, what does this mean? Don''t you know my big brother is still in a state of idiocy?"


    The scandal that happened in the Liu Family of Provincial City was known almost throughout the higher society of Flower Capital.


    Liu Qingyang''s father, Liu Zijian, had once slept with a girl in a nightclub, who is the mother of Second Young Master Liu, Liu Wuyang. But the Liu Family has always refused to acknowledge the status of Liu Wuyang''s mother, even feeling that the existence of Liu Wuyang''s mother was a disgrace.


    In the end, under the acquiescence of Liu Zijian, Liu Qingyang took action and brutally killed Liu Wuyang''s mother right in front of Liu Wuyang.


    At that time, Liu Wuyang was only eight years old, hiding under the bed witnessing such a cruel scene.


    From that moment, Liu Wuyang secretly vowed in his heart that he must survive, and when he became powerful enough, he would kill his older brother Liu Qingyang and his father, who was like a beast, and cause the destruction of the Liu Family.


    ```


    Behind him, at eight years old, Liu Wuyang suffered inhumane treatment in the Liu Family, forced to drink urine and eat dog food... Eventually, under the protection of a kind-hearted butler, he finally grew up. Liu Zijian might have left him alive due to guilt or perhaps for some other reason, and sent him to receive an education.


    When Liu Wuyang was ostracized, he volunteered many years ago to be dispatched to Cloud City! On the surface, he was involved in scandals with female stars, living a life of luxury and debauchery, seducing women left and right, but in reality, during these years, Liu Wuyang had used his genius economic skills to quietly build severalpanies worth tens of billions each, amassing assets worth hundreds of billions in total.


    Although there was still a significant gappared to the strength of the Liu Family in Provincial City, his ability to survive in the cracks was already quite impressive!


    "Young Master Guo, I trust my judgment! I am certain that Young Master Ye will definitely awaken one day, and even if it''s a gamble, I''m going all in, betting that Young Master Ye can help me, please! Here''s the list of all my assets!"


    As he spoke, Liu Wuyang handed a document and contract to Guo Li, "Please review, Young Master Ye. As long as you sign here, all my assets will be yours!"


    Guo Li took the documents and as he looked at the eight listedpanies, his pupils involuntarily dted.


    Guo Li, as the elder son of the Provincial City Guo Family, had talents and business capabilities that were considered top-notch. However, Guo Li''s true expertisey in intelligence and strategy. Purely in terms of financial management, he waspletely outssed by Liu Wuyang.


    "You... these past few years, were your womanizing exploits merely a facade? Those female stars are all artists under your entertainmentpany, and the scandals you cooked up with them were just free publicity to generate buzz... Young Master Liu, I''ve underestimated you... And this Ma''er Finance that recently popped up, that''s also your doing... You are a business genius..."


    Recently, Ma''er Finance, a small credit loanpany in the Southwestern Region that popped out of nowhere, used the P2P model to help small and micro businesses get loans, assessing credit risks with big data models and coborating with banks for funding. It quickly reached a scale of hundreds of billions, and everyone was investigating thepany''s background, wondering who hade up with such an impressive n!


    But no one expected that genius was none other than the Second Young Master of the Liu Family who had been exiled to the borders.


    It seemed that the Second Young Master intended to make a strongeback.


    However, Liu Wuyang knew his power was very limited, and he needed a benefactor to assist him.


    When the massacre in Cloud City urred, Liu Wuyang, like everyone else, thought that even if the seven sisters-inw dered they would marry Ye Fan, it wouldn''t change the declining trend of the Ye Family.


    But just in a few days, the Zhao Family, Wang Family, and Li Family, who had secretly moved against the Ye Family, exploded in session. The Xuanwu Battle Zone openly supported them, Nether Group made their move... And Ye Fan''s various actions made it clear that none of it was a coincidence.


    Putting it all together, Liu Wuyang concluded that Ye Fan, the monstrous genius who was thought to be simple-minded in the Ye Family five years ago, must have awakened already.


    He was the benefactor Liu Wuyang was looking for!


    Therefore, as soon as his elder brother Liu Qingyang dered war on Ye Fan, Liu Wuyang immediately sought him out.


    Besides the assets he held, Liu Wuyang had another special gesture of allegiance, something that would definitely move Ye Fan to action!


    As Guo Li was examining the asset list provided by Liu Wuyang, Ye Fan was also carefully inspecting it.


    When he saw that Liu Wuyang even had a Pinduoduo n, a proposal to create a new shopping tform where everyone could lower the price with a single sh... Ye Fan''s pupils couldn''t help but dte!


    Indeed, Liu Wuyang was a business genius.


    Fully utilizing human nature, he used the "sh-the-price" model to reduce prices, allowing consumers to actively help with advertising and achieving maximum publicity with the least amount of money!


    Since Ye Fan intended to restore the Ye Family''s former glory, besides having Guo Li as his strategist, Schr Guo, and Wang Fugui as his warrior, he would also need a financial deity for domestic governance andmercial operations, and perhaps Liu Wuyang was not a bad choice?


    "The ''sh-the-price'' model is good... You are a good person,e, follow me to the Ye Family and have a look..." Ye Fan still spoke in his honest tone, but when he exchanged a nce with Guo Li, Guo Li already understood what Ye Fan meant.


    The elder brother nned to give Liu Wuyang a try!


    For Ye Fan, dealing with the Liu Family was a certainty, and since there were divisions within the Liu Family to exploit, Ye Fan wouldn''t refuse...


    Joy appeared on Liu Wuyang''s face; as long as he was allowed to go to Ye Corporation, that meant his n had seeded halfway.


    If nothing unexpected happened, his idiotic elder brother should already be at Ye Corporation now!


    Because Xu Jian and his son Xu Dong, upon realizing something was amiss, had already approached the Liu Family in Provincial City and used the Ye Corporation''s official seal to sign a secret acquisition agreement with the Ye Family, an agreement that had been notarized by a third party and was legally binding...


    The intentions of Xu Jian and his son were clear: if they couldn''t have it, they wouldn''t let Ye Family have it easy!


    ```

 Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Xu Jians Disgusting Maneuver Before His Death!

    Inside Ye Corporation, the board of directors suddenly received a notice from Elder Ye, stating that Xu Jian and his son had perished along with the Wang Family, leaving everyone in shock!


    Most of thepany elders were aware of the things Xu Jian and his son had done over the years at Ye Corporation.


    But since Elder Ye had not spoken out, it meant that the situation was still under control.


    So, everyone remained calm.


    If Xu Jian had not signed that secret contract with the Liu Family before his death, then Ye Corporation would still be stable as an old dog.


    "Those two ungrateful dogs, Xu Jian and his son, got what they deserved!"


    "Right! That''s their fate, Elder Ye kindly took them in, and they actually wanted more, colluding with outsiders topletely control Ye Corporation, despicable!"


    "However, now that Xu Jian and his son are gone, and Elder Ye has appointed Guo Li and Xia Hao as deputy CEOs, what does this mean? Is he nning to support the young master''s rise to power? But the young master is still... sigh..."


    There was some confusion about Elder Ye''s decision, but most people still agreed with it.


    Only a small group of Xu Jian''s direct lineage troops, listening to the murmurs of the people around, sneered in secret!


    Do you still think about taking over Ye Corporation?


    Toote!


    The contract arranged by Director Xu before his death should take effect soon. By then, the entire Ye Corporation, with assets worth hundreds of billions, might no longer bear the Ye surname, but the Liu surname instead!


    ...


    When Ye Fan, Guo Li, Wang Fugui, Xia Hao, and Liu Wuyang arrived at the conference hall of Ye Corporation, Liu Qingyang was also there!


    "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the situation! Mr. Xu Jian, the CEO of Ye Corporation, had signed a contract with Liu Corporation a day earlier. For a price of 30 million, he sold Ye Corporation to me... This is the contract, notarized by the legal notary office, and legally binding..."


    "Additionally, various department heads from Legal Affairs, when signing the contract, you were together with Manager Yu from the Procurement Department, right? You can attest to the authenticity of this contract, can''t you?"


    The deputy head of Legal Affairs and Manager Yu from Procurement were thest two thorns Xu Jian left in Ye Corporation.


    When Xu Jian faced the Wang Family''s pursuit, although he didn''t understand why the Wang Family suddenly came after him, Xu Dong wasn''t stupid and quickly guessed that it must be rted to the Ye Family.


    That''s why he arranged such a contingency!


    "Of course! We went with Director Xu, witnessed the Liu Corporation taking over Ye Corporation with our own eyes, 30 million, no mistake!"


    Hiss!


    After Manager Yu and the two confirmed the news, it seemed like everyone at the scene finally realized what was happening.


    "What the fuck! Are you kidding me? Ye Corporation is worth at least over 500 billion in assets! Selling it for only 30 million? Even cabbages aren''t sold like this, right? It''s practically being given away!"


    "Damn! That''s too shady, Xu Jian damn well didn''t have good intentions. Dying like that was too easy for him!"


    "Ptui! The contract is invalid!"


    In Ye Corporation''s upper echelon, most of Xu Jian''s forces had already been drawn away to sh with the Wang Family, and those left behind could hardly make a difference.


    The opinion at the scene was evidently in favor of the Ye Family.


    However, the key now was that the contract was in Liu Qingyang''s hands, and it was a legally notarized document.


    "Is your moring useful? Hmph! This is thew, protected by the state..." Liu Qingyang said somewhat smugly, waving the copy of the contract in his hand, "Now that Ye Corporation bears the Liu name, you should hurry and hand over everything that needs to be handed over! Especially the data from the special research room, focus on that!"


    Liu Qingyang was so anxious to take over the Ye Family this time because he was after a treasure of the Ye Family.


    It is said that many years ago, the Ye Family obtained a Peerless Treasure Map, which recorded the location of a divine site... Once the map is deciphered and the site is entered, one could gain supreme benefits, even the ability to cultivate!


    Outsiders began to suspect that the reason why the Ye Family had so many Grandmaster martial artists and controlled half of the Great Xia Military was very likely because the Ye Family had found some tricks in the ruins.


    The extermination of the Ye Family this time was partly because the enemies wanted to root out the problem, and on the other hand, they were after the Ye Family''s treasure map.


    Bing a saint through cultivation is something every martial artist dreams of!


    Any opportunity would be seized with their lives at stake.


    Ye Fan stood at the entrance of the conference room, frowning at the noisy scene inside.


    He felt sour inside, now the core disciples of the Ye Family only had him left, and the key issue was that he was still in a mentallypromised state, temporarily unable to meet everyone normally.


    Without seeing hope for the Ye Family, they could only be a scattered mess!


    He must quickly integrate the Ye Family from within and rebuild everyone''s confidence.


    Beforeing here, Ye Fan had already had someone investigate Manager Yu and the various department heads'' information, not really expecting it would be useful.


    But as Xu Jian''s stubborn legitimate lineage, although Xu Jian had died, they continued to protect him, so Ye Fan could only tear off the pretense!


    "You''re all so noisy... Where did this Wild Doge from, making a mess on my Ye Family''s territory?" Ye Fan stepped into the hall, dragged a chair, and stared piercingly at Liu Qingyang, "How about it, weren''t you smashed enough at the celebration? Should I try out my skills again?"


    Seeing Ye Fan''s rough actions, Liu Qingyang couldn''t help but step back in fright.


    With Grandmasters Guo Li and Wang Fugui as bodyguards by Ye Fan''s side, Liu Qingyang still had no certainty he could kill Ye Fan instantly, so he had to endure!


    "Ye Fan, you better not act recklessly! I''ll tell you, the Ye Corporation has already been acquired by me, it no longer bears the Ye name, you and yourpanions better roll out of here... This is a business matter, even if you kill me it''s useless..."


    Liu Qingyang was still very afraid of dying, hastily adding thest sentence.


    Otherwise, if Ye Fan went mad and really killed him on the spot, dying at the hands of a fool would be a death in vain!


    "I understand now, you two viins, biting the hand that feeds you, want to sell thepany at a low price and benefit yourselves, right? I''ve secretly seen it, Manager Yu, you''ve taken bribes worth millions in secret..."


    "And you, various department heads, I''ve seen that you keep three women in one ce and five years ago, you even slept with a girl and drove her to jump off a building... You''re all so bad... Grandfather didn''t let me speak at the time... but now I''m going to expose you all..."


    Ye Fan took the stage, muttering a whole bunch!


    His speech was clear!


    He didn''t seem like a mentallypromised person at all, did he?


    The several hundred shareholders and core senior members of the Ye Corporation below looked at the Ye Fan before them and were somewhat dumbstruck.


    The young master had been mentallypromised for five years, and could he finally speak andmunicate normally? It was a bit tough for him to say so much information all at once!


    But everyone also got the news that the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue had arrived in Cloud City and dered that Ye Fan''s mentalpromise could be cured, and was it already beginning to get better now?


    If that''s the case, then the Ye Corporationpletely had a chance to turn the tables!


    "Ye Fan, don''t nder people! When did I ever take someone''s money?"


    "Right, who jumped off a building, what does that have to do with me?"


    Manager Yu and the various department heads, scared out of their wits upon hearing Ye Fan''s words!


    Taking bribes of millions, if the evidence were solid, would mean at least ten years to start with, and premeditated murder was even more horrifying.


    Since Ye Fan had made it clear, then Old Master Ye must definitely know the truth, it''s just that he hadn''t dealt with them yet!


    Was it finally time for them to pay their dues?

 Chapter 65 Switching Sides at the Eleventh Hour, Pulling the Firewood from Under the Pot!

    "You need to speak with evidence! Ye Fan, the Various Department Heads, and Manager Yu, as high-level executives of Ye Corporation, have secured so many rights for thepany. Yet you still suspect them of having ulterior motives, your actions are truly disheartening!"


    While Liu Qingyang was speaking up for the crowd, he didn''t forget to backstab Ye Fan, casting doubt in everyone''s mind about Ye Fan''s intentions.


    Although Ye Corporation is a family business, after so many years of development, it now has external shareholders joining in, and internally it''s notpletely united as one.


    Liu Qingyang''s words were effective; many in the crowd frowned at Ye Fan.


    Five years ago, Ye Fan was a Monstrous Talent with top-notch cultivation and numerous ingenious strategies. Now, as he was starting toe around and take over Ye Corporation, it was certainly possible, but if he used inappropriate methods, it would be difficult for him to gain everyone''s support.


    "Evidence, you say? I just happen to have some material here, let me share it with you all..."


    As he spoke, Ye Fan passed a U-drive to Guo Li, "Old Guo, my friend said there''s good stuff inside, help me take a look!"


    Guo Li looked at Ye Fan, somewhat surprised. His dear elder brother��had he really just awakened these past few days?


    When had he managed to get such a clear understanding of the Ye Corporation''s senior management''s private matters?


    In fact, ever since Ye Fan started using Wang Chao''s death to deal with Xu Dong, he had already begun investigating. It was inevitable that he would have to tear off the pretense of cordiality with Xu Jian and his son; Ye Fan just didn''t expect things to unfold so rapidly!


    "Manager Yu, this is three million. I''m counting on you for the Ye Corporation''s steel nt project... After the deal is done, there''s another five million waiting for you!"


    "Sure, sure!"


    "Manager Yu, our procurement has always been stuck at the approval stage, unable to get through. Look, could you help smooth things over? Here''s two million for your tea!"


    ...


    The first video began ying on the screen, and the footage was crystal clear.


    The procurement department''s Manager Yu had already epted a bribe of five million. ording to thew, Manager Yu could spend thetter half of his life stepping on the sewing machine.


    "Stop... stop the video..."


    Seeing what was happening in front of him, Manager Yu copsed into his chair, white as a sheet.


    He thought he had been very careful; how could he still have been filmed so clearly?


    Wasn''t Ye Fan an idiot? How did he have so much incriminating evidence against him?


    "Manager Yu, no need to panic, my friend said there''s a lot more exciting stuff toe!" Ye Fan said with a faint smile, not showing too much emotion as he turned to look at the Various Department Heads, "Various Department Heads, next up is your scene. It''s a bit eye-watering; do you want to show off your developed pectorals and glutes?"


    Ye Fan''s remark left the Various Department Heads momentarily stunned!


    Pectorals and glutes��what this implied, the Various Department Heads understood all too well; it was likely footage of them on a date with a lover.


    If Ye Fan managed to get a hold of the evidence of Manager Yu taking money, then obtaining information about himself would hardly be an effort.


    Could Ye Fan really be an idiot?


    Or with the help of Divine Doctor Lei, had he already regained some rity?


    With just this slight effort, everyone was already unable to cope!


    If Ye Fan fully awakened and tookprehensive action, wouldn''t the Ye Family''s opponents be in trouble?


    Realizing this, the Various Department Heads felt an immense regret. Had they known that Young Master Ye still had a chance of awakening, they wouldn''t have joined Xu Jian''s treacherous plot.


    But at this point, the Various Department Heads knew that saying more was futile.


    "Young Master Ye, speak up, what do you want?" Various Department Heads were quite aware that Ye Fan hadn''t handed over this material directly to the police, so he definitely needed them to do something.


    "With Various Department Heads being so smart, what else can we do, and do I still need to spell it out for you?" A faint smile appeared on Ye Fan''s face, showcasing a trace of devilish charm.


    Wang Fugui didn''t notice anything unusual, but Liu Wuyang, standing nearby, felt a surge of tion upon seeing such an expression on Ye Fan''s face, knowing that he probably bet on the right horse.


    The monstrously talented Young Master of the Ye Family must have been awake for quite some time now, but he had been feigning ignorance, deliberately deceiving everyone!


    Stunted growth, waiting for aplete outburst��the moment would mark the Ye Family''s resurgence in glory!


    Observing Ye Fan''s actions, Various Department Heads deduced that Ye Fan had partly regained consciousness. Although the sharp-minded present reacted a second toote, they gradually understood as well.


    "Ah! The young master isn''t stuttering anymore, is this his awakening?"


    "Right! Did you see Young Master Ye''s movements just now? So swift and decisive, I''m afraid many corporation CEOs wouldn''t be able to do that, right?"


    "Divine Doctor Lei is truly remarkable, saving Young Master Ye is like saving the entire Ye Family, Ye Corporation indeed!"


    Most of the people at the scene were happy about Ye Fan''s awakening, but among the crowd, a few middle-aged men wore dark expressions, muttering in low voices, "This isn''t necessarily a good thing! Humph! Those useless fools, they couldn''t even stop Lei Qianjue... Look now, herees trouble..."


    The monstrous talent of Ye Fan had shocked and intimidated everyone in his younger years.


    Having been lost to folly for five years and now reawakening, no one knew what extent Ye Fan had reached!


    ...


    Ye Fan had suggested that Various Department Heads think for themselves, and with the situation at hand, they naturally understood. Exchanging nces with Manager Yu, they said coolly, "If you don''t want to get caught in the sewing machine, just give up!"


    What Ye Fan wanted them to do was clear, simply not to side with Liu Qingyang.


    By neutralizing the two biggest thorns Xu Jian had nted, Ye Fan''s dealings with Liu Qingyang would go much more smoothly.


    Manager Yu wasn''t dumb either, after giving it a bit of thought, he reorganized his ideas and spoke up, "Shareholders of Ye Corporation, we were a bit confused just now, and some things we said were incorrect! In fact, Director Xu and we did indeed meet with Liu Qingyang, but no contract was signed... Liu Qingyang''s contract is a forgery, it doesn''t exist, and there''s no talk of any acquisition of Ye Corporation..."


    Both individuals didn''t know what other ns or backup Ye Fan had, but for now, what they could do was to not testify for Liu Qingyang, to deny the legality and validity of Liu Qingyang''s contract, and to stand on Ye Fan''s side as much as possible.


    "..." With a darkened countenance, Liu Qingyang watched the unfolding situation, nearly bursting with rage, "Yu Yang, Zhu Ming, have you lost your minds? You were clearly witnesses at the time, do you think your denial now will be of any use? Everyone have a good look, the contract has Xu Jian''s signature, his fingerprint, the Ye Corporation''s official seal, and the notary office''s certification. Your denial is useless!"


    Waving a copy of the contract in his hand, the once noisy scene quieted down again.


    Indeed, the contract did have legal effect!


    Even if Manager Yu and Zhu Ming were forced to switch sides, no longer supporting Liu Qingyang, that wouldn''t change the oue.


    Shush!


    Everyone''s gaze turned toward Ye Fan. As Ye Fan frowned and considered his next move, Liu Wuyang suddenly stepped forward from behind him and spoke loudly, "Young Master Liu, the document you''re holding is just a copy of the contract, isn''t it? What good is just a copy if your contract turned out to be a fake?"


    "Liu Wuyang?" Seeing Liu Wuyang suddenly appear by Ye Fan''s side, Liu Qingyang got a bad feeling.


    Liu Qingyang had not spared Liu Wuyang any torment since they were children, but Liu Wuyang never cried. The way he red at Liu Qingyang seemed as if he couldn''t wait to devour him whole.


    Even though he had sent this brother to Cloud City, Liu Qingyang had always harbored a deep wariness of him. Coming to Cloud City this time, apart from dealing with Ye Fan, Liu Qingyang had considered whether he should eliminate this brother too, to sleep more peacefully at night!


    "What are you implying? Knowing that you would question this, I brought the original contract with me! Somebody, bring over the safe!" Liu Qingyang signaled to a bodyguard beside him, and soon someone brought over a safe.


    Down below, Liu Wuyang grinned devilishly, "Big brother, sorry to say, I also have a safe right here. So tell me... which one holds the true original?"

 Chapter 66 He Still Has Treasures on Him!

    Huh?


    When Liu Qingyang saw Liu Wuyang take out an identical password-protected case, he was already overwhelmed by a strong, ominous feeling!


    Intuition told Liu Qingyang that his brother must have been quietly developing his strength in Cloud City, and it was very likely that he would end up falling into his brother''s hands sooner orter.


    "Quick! Open it!" Liu Qingyang''s tone was somewhat urgent, as he had always been worried that something unexpected might happen today. Therefore, he had kept the case close at hand through his bodyguard captain, which contained the acquisition contracts.


    The bodyguard by his side opened the case. Instead of any contracts, there was a set of red shrouds inside!


    "What the fuck! What''s going on, where''s the contract? Where the hell is my contract?" Liu Qingyang, shocked by the shrouds inside, couldn''t help but step back several paces, furiously shouting. His gaze at Liu Wuyang was filled with rage, "Liu Wuyang, are you behind this trickery?"


    Liu Wuyang spoke indifferently, "Liu Qingyang, it wasst year �� you killed my mother, and now, this is a gift for you. I believe you''ll be needing it very soon!"


    As he spoke, Liu Wuyang opened the password-protected case by his side, which indeed contained the three acquisition contracts.


    The contracts had indeed been signed by Xu Jian and Liu Qingyang, but Liu Wuyang had long since bribed the brother''s bodyguard captain to swap out the contracts, ying a game of pulling out the rug from under them.


    "Young Master Ye, all the contracts are up to you to deal with!"


    Liu Wuyang respectfully handed the password-protected case to Ye Fan!


    "No �� Liu Wuyang, you son of a bitch, are you stupid? That''s assets worth billions, you damn ��" Liu Qingyang was nearly driven insane from anger. He had already boasted at Captain Chu''s of crushing Ye Corporation economically today.


    But in the end, he was backstabbed by his own younger brother at thest moment, failing his mission. Where could he show his face now?


    "Billions? You''re nothing �� Liu Qingyang, no asset canpare to the value of your life, go repent to my mother underground!" Liu Wuyang coldly retorted.


    Liu Wuyang now had the manpower and strength to hire someone to take action against Liu Qingyang, but killing Liu Qingyang meant that Liu Wuyang could not get away with it.


    However, with the Ye Family supporting Ye Fan from behind, and backers like the Guo Family and the Wang Family, Ye Fan did not fear a storm of retaliation.


    Ye Fan picked up the contracts from the case and nced at them twice. The contracts were real, all three of them, with the seal of a notary office.


    "Young Master Liu, all three originals are with me now. What''s the surname of Ye Corporation now?" Ye Fan stared at Liu Qingyang, his face malicious.


    "I ��" Liu Qingyang red fiercely at Liu Wuyang, truly ready to eat him alive, "Liu Wuyang, you''re ruthless!"


    Losing control over Ye Family was frustrating enough for Liu Qingyang, but what frustrated him even more was his own brother, who had been hiding in Cloud City for so many years and had now seemingly grown stronger and beyond his control.


    Liu Qingyang somewhat regretted having let his brother be sent to Cloud City!


    "Let''s go!" Since the originals of the contracts had been taken away, Liu Qingyang knew that his acquisition n was doomed to fail today, and there was no point in staying.


    He signalled to his subordinates and prepared to leave the scene.


    "Stop right there! You think you can just walk away?" Ye Fan''s cold reprimand echoed, "My wife said that when someone bullies me, they always have to pay a price �� You caused trouble at the celebration banquet, and I haven''t even dealt with you for that yet. Now �� it''s time to settle the ount ��"


    Ye Fan had no intention of just letting Liu Qingyang go!


    Liu Qingyang''s eyes shed with a gloomy light. He hadn''t even begun to trouble Ye Fan, yet Ye Fan was nning to make a move against him first?


    "You �� what do you want to do?" Liu Qingyang said, his gaze unsettled as he looked at Ye Fan.


    Even though Yu Linglong was not present, Ye Fan still had two grandmaster-level martial arts experts, Guo Li and Wang Fugui, by his side, as well as other bodyguards arranged by the Ye Family. Moreover, it seemed that Ye Fan''s intelligence had temporarily returned to normal, so who knew if his strength had recovered as well?


    If that''s the case, Liu Qingyang really is in trouble.


    "Young Master Ye, he has a transparent bone on his body that has always been emitting a strong ancient aura, apparently very helpful for cultivation... Why don''t you make him hand it over?"


    Before Ye Fan could speak, Liu Wuyang by his side openly revealed the treasure on Liu Qingyang''s body.


    "Liu Wuyang, do you have a death wish? That is the Liu Family''s heirloom treasure, invaluable, and you just exposed it like that!" Liu Qingyang clutched at his own chest!


    That Liu Qingyang could reach above the Grandmaster level in his early thirties had everything to do with the nourishment from that bone. It was his lucky bone, and now it was going to be taken away just like that?


    Liu Qingyang was unwilling!


    "Indeed it is a treasure of the Liu Family, but what does that have to do with me?" Liu Wuyang said indifferently.


    The corner of Ye Fan''s mouth curled up; it looked like Liu Wuyang truly loathed the Liu Family to the bone.


    Without needing Ye Fan to say anything, Wang Fugui and Guo Li had already acted, one on the left and one on the right they held Liu Qingyang in the middle, their powerful Martial Arts Qi controlling him, "Young Master Liu, hand it over!"


    "You... you''re robbing me!" Liu Qingyang, furious, turned ashen, trying to summon his entire body''s Martial Arts Qi to resist.


    But as soon as the Qi began to circte, Liu Qingyang encountered a situation that caused him to despair.


    He found that he couldn''t use his Martial Arts Qi at all, and what''s more, his strength was rapidly weakening.


    Ever since he was pricked by Ye Fan at Su Yixue''s victory celebration, there seemed to be an aura on the tip of Ye Fan''s needle that was quietly eroding his organs. Liu Qingyang just exerted a little bit of strength and felt as if his whole body was about to copse.


    What... what''s going on?


    Liu Qingyang looked at Ye Fan with a face full of fear. Could it be that Ye Fan had fully awakened?


    The methods and strength of a monstrous genius are utterly iprehensible!


    "Yeah, we''re robbing you, what are you gonna do about it? Damn it! You can rob the Ye Corporation, but we can''t rob you?" Wang Fugui was very rough, not having such a good temper, and while cursing, he reached out and tore open Liu Qingyang''s clothes, pulled out the semi-transparent bone from the innermostyer, and handed it to Ye Fan, "Big brother, take a look!"


    As soon as Ye Fan took the bone into his hands, his pupils suddenly dted!


    "Undying Bone?" Ye Fan was shocked to his core; he had early on gathered information about it from the dragon-patterned ring.


    He knew that around the world, there had been some sages and powerful figures who had surpassed the peak of martial arts and fallen.


    After their fall, their bones solidified into these semi-transparent bones, which amassed their strong cultivation umtion and some of theirbat experience.


    For an ordinary Martial Arts Expert to wear it, they would be able to Nourish and Cultivate it, gaining immense benefits.


    And if one were to absorb the energy and experiences contained within these Undying Bones, the benefits were even greater!


    Fortunately, the record inside the dragon-patterned ring hadpleted the documentation of how to absorb and convert the Undying Bone!


    "Young Master Liu, thank you! I''ll take this item off your hands!" Ye Fan said with a smile as he secured the bone, reverting to his honest appearance, "Old Guo, Old Wang, look, he came to deliver this item personally, he''s a guest, why are you holding him like this? Let him go, quick, let him go! Young Master Liu, I''ll escort you out!"


    As he spoke, Ye Fan''s gaze returned to being perplexed, and he intimately hooked his arm around Liu Qingyang''s neck, as if to escort Liu Qingyang out.


    Everyone else at the scene thought Ye Fan had reverted to his simple-minded state, but only Guo Li, Xia Hao, and a few others knew that Ye Fan surely had other arrangements...

 Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Do You Think You Can Do It Again?

    Psht!


    Liu Qingyang felt as if his heart had shattered, being stabbed viciously over and over again!


    It was killing the man and crushing his heart!


    "Today I came to take over Ye Corporation, and in the end, you nearly stripped me down to my underwear. How did this happen?"


    "Big brother, let me apany you to send him off!" Wang Fugui, seeing that Ye Fan intended to go out alone with Liu Qingyang, quickly stood up wanting to follow.


    Guo Li hurried to stop Wang Fugui, saying, "Old Wang, we need you here to maintain order at the scene. Let Mr. Xia Hao apany him instead!"


    At the victory banquet, Liu Qingyang exposed himself by participating in the assassination attempt on the Ye Family members. Ye Fan being alone with Liu Qingyang was definitely to rify the truth about what happened at that time.


    If Wang Fugui followed along, there would definitely be trouble.


    Xia Hao immediately understood, "Li Hu, bring some men to apany me to send off Young Master Liu!"


    Ye Fan gave a faint smile and, when leaving the meeting room, called out to Liu Wuyang, "Second Young Master Liu,e with me!"


    During the Su Family''s victory banquet, it wasn''t convenient for Ye Fan to make a move.


    But this time, Liu Qingyang had delivered himself to Ye Corporation, and Ye Fan didn''t n to let Liu Qingyang off. More importantly, Ye Fan saw potential in Liu Wuyang and decided to do him a favor!


    By winning over Liu Wuyang to manage the finances for him, Ye Fan would have more time to do other things!


    "Ah? Okay!" Hearing that Ye Fan had actually refused the help of Wang Fugui and Guo Li and others, choosing to go out alone with him, Liu Qingyang''s pupils dted instantly.


    With Wang Fugui and Guo Li, two grandmaster level fighters, on guard, he didn''t dare to make a move on Ye Fan.


    But alone with Ye Fan, even if his own strength had diminished, there''d always be a chance to make a move, right?


    As for Xia Hao and Liu Wuyang and the others, Liu Qingyang didn''t take them seriously at all.


    He knew that in the parking lot downstairs, he had arranged for his own men. United together, did Ye Fan still have a chance to escape?


    Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan!


    You choose neither the path to heaven nor the gate to hell thaty open to you!


    Liu Qingyang and Ye Fan, along with Liu Wuyang and others, went down to the parking lot of Ye Corporation. Before Ye Fan could speak, Liu Qingyang took the initiative to say, "Idiot, since you''re here, why don''t you just stay?"


    Click!


    With Liu Qingyang snapping his fingers, a group of martial arts experts rushed out from around a dozen cars, surrounding Ye Fan, Xia Hao, Li Hu, Liu Wuyang, and the others in the middle.


    "Ye Fan, I don''t know if you''re really foolish or just pretending. Staying with Guo Li and Wang Fugui, I''d still be wary and not dare to act rashly. But you recklessly came down here alone. Are you asking for death? Then I''ll have to send you on your way first!" Liu Qingyang appeared utterly confident as he taunted Ye Fan, "Don''t expect them toe down to save you now. Even if they wanted to, it would take them a few minutes. That''s more than enough time to kill you several times over."


    Liu Qingyang had brought elite forces from his home base this time.


    The encirclement steadily tightened, and Liu Wuyang was starting to get nervous.


    "Young Master Liu, our young master kindly offered to send you away. You insist on running into the muzzle. You can''t me our young master for not being polite!" Xia Hao looked coldly at Liu Qingyang, having already sentenced him to death in his heart.


    This Young Master Liu was truly foolish.


    Ye Fan had already made it so obvious what bringing Liu Wuyang with him meant?


    That was to avenge Liu Qingyang!


    This guy, instead of figuring out how to run away quickly, actually nned to counterattack and deal with Ye Fan.


    "Unwee? Haha! A foolish young master, coupled with you, Patriarch Xia? Let me tell you, Xia Hao, I respect you by calling you Patriarch Xia, otherwise calling you Xia Dog would be lifting you up! Don''t be in a hurry. Once the Ye Family is dealt with, it will soon be your turn!"


    The stance from above was already clear. Any ns that were too close to the Ye Family would meet with no good fate and must all be punished.


    Li Hu stood vigntly by Xia Hao''s side, ready to deal with any sudden situations.


    Boom!


    Liu Qingyang spoke with exceptional excitement, while Ye Fan made his move!


    He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and his powerful aura wantonly surged, shattering the bluestone paving and sending countless fragments flying with precision toward Liu Qingyang''s men.


    Thud! Thud!


    With overwhelming Qi Force, Liu Qingyang''s bodyguards had no strength to resist and perished in an instant.


    Just now, Liu Qingyang''s side still had dozens of experts, and it seemed that they had the upper hand. But in the blink of an eye, only Liu Qingyang was left standing alone on his side asmander.


    Liu Qingyang''s pupils dted in shock as he looked at the situation on the scene. He finally reacted, "Ye Fan�� are you pretending to be dumb? Are you deceiving us? Have you already awakened, haven''t you?"


    By now, the only people left standing at the scene were Xia Hao, Liu Wuyang, and Liu Qingyang.


    When Ye Fan had just taken action, Li Hu and his men were all knocked out as well.


    Although as the underground godfather of Cloud City, Li Hu''s words were likely to be reliable.


    But now, Ye Fan didn''t want to reveal too much in front of too many people!


    Xia Hao already knew that he had awakened, and as for Liu Wuyang, knowing his secrets as a future core member was not an issue.


    As for Liu Qingyang... dead men tell no tales.


    "You understand now? It''s toote!" Ye Fan stepped forward coldly, "Answer my questions honestly to avoid unnecessary pain!"


    "I��" Liu Qingyang sensed the powerful Qi Force Fluctuation emanating from Ye Fan, which had far exceeded the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. It was probably already at the Martial Venerable level, wasn''t it?


    But ording to the information Captain Chu Feng had, Ye Fan''s strength was at most that of a Grandmaster.


    If the judgement was wrong, it could mean the failure of Captain Chu Feng''s mission.


    The crux of the matter was that there was a mistake in the intelligence. Everyone had nned ording to the information that Ye Fan had not yet awakened. But now that Ye Fan had awakened, the situation could be turned upside down.


    Some of the powers that were previously waiting to see how things unfolded would potentially turn the tide instantly upon learning that Ye Fan had awakened, given his influence as a prodigiously talented genius coupled with the remaining influence of Old Master Ye.


    Thinking this, Liu Qingyang quietly reached for his phone, intending to covertly inform Captain Chu Feng of the situation here.


    Thud!


    Without seeing how Ye Fan acted, a mighty Qi Force surged towards Liu Qingyang''s pocket, directly smashing his phone to pieces.


    "Even at this point, you still want to send a message? Do you think you still have a chance?" Ye Fan seemed to possess an invisible, mighty power, pressing down hard on Liu Qingyang, forcing him back against the front of a car, "Speak! Who is really behind the Liu Family? Is it Young Master Zhou of the Capital, or Lone Wolf? Apart from your Liu Family, who else was involved in the attack on my second brother in the Xuanwu Battle Zone?" Only on m v|le|mp|yr

 Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Claw!

    Given Ye Fan''s personality, he would have killed Liu Qingyang right there at the Su Family banquet when Liu Qingyang was acting outrageously!


    The only reason he left him alive was to investigate some truths from Liu Qingyang''s mouth.


    Follow the vines to find the real culprit who wants to kill the Ye Family!


    The representatives from the Zhao Family, the Li Family, and the Liu Family sent by Qin Tao were all a notch below and had very limited information.


    Liu Qingyang came directly with a big shot from the Northwest War Zone, so he must know more.


    "Hmph, Ye Fan, do you think that just because you''ve awakened, you alone can change the oue? Dream on! The Lone Wolf, the big shot from the Northwest War Zone, is already on his way here, and by my calctions, he will arrive soon. When that timees, it will be the moment when your Ye Family ispletely eradicated!"


    At this moment, Liu Qingyang realized thating to find Ye Fan early was a mistake.


    It was very likely he had no chance of escaping now, so Liu Qingyang simply took on the attitude of a dead pig not fearing boiling water.


    "Even if I know some secrets, I won''t tell you! Just wait obediently for death, haha!"


    "After you die! Those sisters-inw and wives of yours, how pitiful, there will certainly be many men lining up to ''cherish'' them!"


    Pfft!


    Ye Fan struck suddenly, "Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing w!"


    This was a secret cultivation technique from the dragon-patterned ring, which could use Qi Force to control spiritual power, prate the target''s skull, invade their thoughts, and oppress and torment the target on a soul level.


    "Ah!"


    As Ye Fan activated his Qi Force, Liu Qingyang instantly felt as if his head was about to explode, "You...what are you doing to me? Wooh...wooh..."


    Why does it hurt so much?


    Liu Qingyang looked at Ye Fan with disbelief, feeling like there were knives carving his brain and as if a dagger were scraping his bones; the soul-piercing pain made his consciousness start to dissipate, and he began to sink.


    "Now speak! Besides the Capital Zhou Family, who else is behind the Liu Family, and what exactly do they want by targeting the Ye Family?"


    Ye Fan very rarely used the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand, but the few times he did, almost no one could resist it.


    Liu Qingyang was no exception!


    "I don''t know about the others involved in the attack, but the Liu Family from the Provincial City and my own Liu Family participated! We were in contact with Captain Chu Feng from the Northwest War Zone. As for who he reports to, we aren''t sure, but it definitelyes from the Military! And Young Master Zhou from the Capital, he''s not really from the Capital Zhou Family, but behind him seems to be another very powerful organization called the Holy Envoy Organization... They''re after a map..."


    Liu Qingyang, after all, was much higher in rank, and he knew more than Li Zhong and Qin Yao knew.


    At least he knew that the forces acting against the Ye Family were not a single entity.


    On one hand, there was the Military, and on the other, the Holy Envoy Organization.


    They must have united over some mutual interests to strike at the same time, which is why they seeded with one hit!


    The breakthrough with the Military was Captain Chu Feng, and with the Holy Envoy Organization, it was Young Master Zhou.


    Dealing with them was a matter forter. For now, those who killed his second brother must pay the price first.


    Puchi! Puchi!


    As Ye Fan''s Qi Force surged through his hands, he destroyed all of Liu Qingyang''s meridians and then released him from the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing w, allowing him to regain consciousness.


    "Ah..." The excruciating pain in his bones and meridians made Liu Qingyang feel worse than death, and he screamed aloud, "Kill me... Ye Fan, if you have the guts, kill me!"


    Ye Fan''s mouth twitched slightly as he said indifferently, "I really do want to kill you, but there is someone who wants to kill you even more... So, I''ll leave your life in his hands!"


    While speaking, Ye Fan picked up a dagger from the ground and handed it to Liu Wuyang, who was still somewhat stunned, "Young Master Liu, take your revenge!"


    Liu Wuyang, seeing the skills Ye Fan had just demonstrated, couldn''t help but have his pupils shockingly dte.


    The Young Master Ye before me, a demonic genius indeed remains a demonic genius!


    "Good! Thank you!" Liu Wuyang didn''t hesitate at all, took the dagger from Ye Fan''s hand, made a couple of gestures over Liu Qingyang''s body, and then stepped towards Liu Qingyang.


    "You... Liu Wuyang, what do you think you are doing? I... We are brothers, you can''t kill me..." Liu Qingyang wasn''t afraid of death when he saw Ye Fan.


    But in front of Liu Wuyang, Liu Qingyang was afraid!


    Liu Wuyang was a piece of trash who had been bullied by Liu Qingyang since childhood, so why now is he so high and mighty, able to decide his own fate?


    "Brothers? Hmph! Liu Qingyang, do you have any shame? Where''s your conscience, eaten by a dog? When you killed my mother, why didn''t you think that we were brothers?" Liu Wuyang had been able to endure all these years and was no pushover.


    Watching Liu Wuyang, who was close at hand, without any hesitation, he thrust the dagger in his hand violently into Liu Qingyang''s chest.


    Pfft!


    A huge hole instantly appeared in Liu Qingyang''s chest, blood flowing from the wound, dyeing much of Liu Qingyang''s clothes red.


    Panting!


    "You... you''re really doing it..." Liu Qingyang, looking at the Liu Wuyang before him, "If you kill me like this, father won''t let you go, you need to stop right now!"


    In fact, Liu Qingyang knew that any attempt to dissuade him now would be fruitless.


    From the moment Liu Wuyang had someone switch out his contract, he had firmly chosen Ye Fan and wanted Liu Qingyang''s life.


    It''s just that Liu Qingyang was still clinging to ast straw.


    "Hmph! Father? Is he fit to be a father? Big brother, don''t be anxious, you go first and apologize to my mother. Soon, I will make him kneel before my mother as well..."


    Pfft!


    "This stab is for the revenge of you urinating on my head back then!"


    Pfft!


    "This stab is for making mepete with dogs for food!"


    Pfft!


    "This stab is for you riding on my neck, making me crawl through a dung pit in minus ten degrees!"


    ...


    It''s unknown how many stabs there were, but in the end, Liu Qingyang had be a sieve, with not a single piece of good flesh left on his body.


    "Enough, Young Master Liu!" Seeing that Liu Qingyang was dead beyond dead, Ye Fan extended a hand to pat Liu Wuyang.


    Liu Wuyang finally snapped out of his grief, kneeled to the ground, and fervently kowtowed three times in the direction of the Provincial City, "Mother! Do you see? I''ve avenged you... The person who killed you back then has been killed by me. Tonight, I can finally sleep!"


    These years, Liu Qingyang had awoken from sleep in panic every day.


    As soon as he fell asleep, the scene of his mother being strangled to death by Liu Qingyang appeared before his eyes.


    And now finally, Liu Qingyang has gone to meet Yama, and Liu Wuyang has resolved a burden from his heart.


    "Patriarch Xia, did you get the video?" Ye Fan asked Xia Hao, who opened the video on his phone��it captured the moments when Ye Fan was gesturing with the dagger over Liu Qingyang''s body earlier, and whenbined with the footage of Liu Qingyang''s death, anyone would believe that it was Ye Fan who killed Liu Qingyang.


    "But Young Master Ye, it was clearly I who killed Liu Qingyang. You doing this..."


    Ye Fan spoke indifferently, "Actually, from the moment Liu Qingyang started causing trouble at the Su Family''s celebration banquet, the moment Iid hands on him, he was already dead! Just now was only to leave him hisst breath, so that you could have your revenge!"


    "Besides, if it is announced to the outside that Liu Qingyang was killed by you, can your strength handle the People of the Liu Family''s retaliation? Especially the revenge from Liu Qingyang''s grandfather''s side, can you withstand it?" Ye Fan watched Liu Qingyang intensely, "Didn''t you go through so much trouble, using so many deeds to seek me out, just for this?"

 Chapter 69 The Huge Impact of Liu Qingyangs Murder!

    Ye Fan''s lucid emergence from confusion left Liu Wuyang feeling somewhat sheepish, "Liu Wuyang, I''m thankful for Young Master Ye''s intervention! If Young Master Ye ever needs anything, justmand me!"


    "Good! That''s exactly what I''ve been waiting to hear, you''re the person I need!" Ye Fan didn''t hesitate at all, and with a single sentence, left Liu Wuyang somewhat unable to react.


    "Ah... this... Young Master Ye, you want me as a person? But..."


    Liu Wuyang misinterpreted, did Young Master Ye swing that way?


    Didn''t he have so many beautiful wives and sisters-inw? Why would he be interested in men?


    But recalling the huge favor Ye Fan had done for him, he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Young Master Ye likes it, I can take any position!"


    Liu Wuyang''s face turned almost red with effort as he forced those words out.


    Seeing Liu Wuyang''s expression, Ye Fan couldn''t help but knock him on the head with some irritation, "What on earth are you thinking? I don''t swing that way. I need your brain, your genius economic mind, to help me build a vastmercial empire..."


    "Ah!" Liu Wuyang was depressed once again. Was this what Young Master Ye meant?


    "Let''s go! From now on, there''s no need to hide or hold back your business ns. The Ye Family will be your support! But be prepared, as I haven''t fully revealed myself yet, the Ye Family might still face considerable pressure for quite a long time!"


    Ye Fan turned his head and nced at the towering office building of the Ye Corporation behind him.


    The Holy Envoy Organization, it sounds like another huge conglomerate, probably simr to the Tianji Pavilion organization that supports me, right?


    Sigh!


    The road ahead is extremely difficult!


    However, Liu Wuyang didn''t seem to care in the slightest, "It doesn''t matter! Now that I belong to Young Master Ye, I will share in both the sweet and the bitter! I definitely believe in Young Master Ye''s strength!"


    Five years ago, Ye Fan at fifteen had already achieved the strength of the Grandmaster Realm. And now, after acting foolish for five years, Ye Fan''s strength had clearly broken through the constraints of a Grandmaster and must be at least at the Martial Venerable Level.


    With Ye Fan''s monstrous talent and shrewd tactics, the rise of the Ye Family was only a matter of time!


    Leaving Xia Hao and Li Hu to handle the scene, Ye Fan set off towards the Ye Corporation!


    ...


    In the Provincial City, at the Liu Family estate, Liu Family head Liu Zijian received a video sent by a stranger and immediately jumped up, swearing, "Fuck! What... Qingyang is killed... this..."


    It was the video processed by Xia Hao, showing Ye Fan executing Liu Qingyang.


    "How does that idiot from the Ye Family have such strength? To have killed Qingyang?" Liu Zijian''s voice trembled, "Quick! Call Qingyang immediately, it must be someone pulling a prank!"


    The subordinates by his side hastily took action, but after a lot of hustle, Liu Qingyang''s phone was unreachable.


    The men who had apanied Liu Qingyang were all out of contact as well.


    Finally, a driver from the periphery reported back, "Patriarch, I saw the eldest young master''s body being disposed of! The eldest young master... has been killed by the people from the Ye Family... I also saw the Second Young Master..."


    With additional news from the sceneing in and video evidence, Liu Zijian fell with a thud onto the couch.


    He finally epted the fact that his son had been killed by that fool from the Ye Family.


    But wasn''t that fool from the Ye Family still in a foolish state? How could he have such powerful strength to y Qingyang?


    Moreover, Qingyang''s own strength was already above Grandmaster Level! So to kill Qingyang, one must possess at least Peak Grandmaster power...


    While grieving, Liu Zijian rapidly analyzed the current situation.


    Although only Ye Fan''s figure was visible in the video, Liu Zijian instinctively filled in the nks, certain that there were other people present at the scene. Otherwise, an idiot could never have killed his own son.


    It must have been a trap set by the Ye Family to kill his son!


    Liu Qingyang''s visit to Cloud City today was something Liu Zijian was very clear about. Captain Chu Feng had personally ordered the Liu Family to take action against the Ye Family and to crush the Su Family.


    Originally, Liu Zijian had nned to go himself, but because he had to meet an important person from Dongying, he didn''t go.


    Now his son is dead... In hindsight, he should have gone himself!


    "Quick! Contact Captain Chu Feng immediately, this news must be reported to Captain Chu Feng!" The Ye Family, despite being oppressed to such a state, still dared to kill a grandmaster of the Liu Family.


    The death of Liu Qingyang, to the Liu Family or people like Chu Feng, did not seem to be a big deal.


    But if not handled properly, the consequences could be very significant.


    Previously, when the Zhao Family, Li Family, and Wang Family who had taken action against the Ye Family were eradicated in Cloud City, everyone could ept it. After all, although the Ye Family was suppressed, their foundation was still very strong and more than capable of dealing with those minor families.


    But the foundation of the Liu Family already dominated Provincial City and clearly stood with people like Chu Feng behind them...


    Even when beating a dog, one must look at its master!


    The Ye Family had decisively killed the dog, which was a tant p in the face!


    ...


    At Cloud City International Airport, Chu Feng had just gotten off the ne when he received the message from Liu Zijian!


    "What, Ye Fan killed Liu Qingyang? What kind of nonsense is this? Is Liu Qingyang a pig? How could he be killed by an idiot?" Upon receiving the message, Chu Feng''s first reaction was that the news must be fake.


    But the call was from Liu Qingyang''s father, Liu Zijian, and it was impossible for him to joke about his own son''s life!


    While Chu Feng was still on the phone, his subordinates had already started to gather all the other information about Cloud City together.


    The video of Liu Qingyang''s assassination was already fermenting online.


    The Ye Family seemed to have no intention of concealing that it was Ye Fan who made the move, even though Ye Fan still appeared to be simple-minded and naive.


    But what of it?


    An idiot was able to crush one of your dogs, Chu Feng; what is there to be arrogant about?


    Moreover, Lei Qianjue had said that Ye Fan''s state of idiocy had not damaged his nerves and there was aplete possibility of recovery.


    In the future, if Ye Fan fully recovers, then the doomsday for those opponents of the Ye Family will truly arrive.


    "Some of the previously neutral families in Cloud City have decided, after seeing the video, to pay a visit to the Ye Family tomorrow!"


    "In the Capital, several families have also changed their stance. Those who were going to cooperate with us just made a sudden phone call saying there was an urgent matter and that the cooperation should be pushed back!"


    Chu Feng, while on the phone with Liu Zijian, was listening to his subordinates reporting the various new messages they had just received, and his face grew increasingly dark.


    These old foxes, what does pushing back cooperation mean? It''s quite obvious.


    They have seen hope for the Ye Family''s resurgence and are not willing to take sides so quickly.


    The foundation of the Ye Family is something everyone is well aware of.


    Although the core disciples of the Ye Family have all been wiped out, the Tianlong Army is still there, Ye Fan is still there, and as long as Ye Fan wakes up and fully takes control of the Tianlong Army, relying on Ye Fan''s monstrous talent and solid strength, it will not be so easy to attempt to eliminate Ye Fan again...

 Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Swallowing the Undying Bone!

    Having heard the news from Liu Zijian, as well as various other reports converging from Cloud City and the Capital, Chu Feng''s expression began to grow solemn!


    Initially, beforeing here, Chu Feng thought that to deal with Ye Fan, his own intervention should be more than enough!


    After all, with the help of the elders, Chu Feng had broken through to the Martial Venerable Level, and the Ye Family, previously the eldest of the Ye Family was at the Martial Venerable Realm, but now the highest they had were probably just Leng Feng and Old Master Ye as Grandmaster experts.


    Even if five Grandmaster experts joined forces, so what, they would not possibly be a match for a Martial Lord like himself!


    But now, Chu Feng did not see it that way anymore!


    As one of The Six Great Families of Great Xia, the Ye Family''s ability to dominate Great Xia for so many years must have its rationale and heritage!


    He still needed to be more vignt!


    "Patriarch Liu, the current situation with the Ye Family is a bit troublesome, you''d better arrange some more people to support me! We need to settle the Ye Family as quickly as possible, otherwise, there will be no good end for us when the timees!" Although Chu Feng was asking for help from Liu Zijian, Liu Zijian knew that he had no right to refuse.


    "Okay! But... Captain Chu Feng, as you know, my Liu Family has limited personnel, and the experts have already been taken away by Qingyang, probably already killed by the Ye Family''s people! Also... today, a few friends from the Japanese ck Clothes Society came over, they are very interested in the Ye Family''s matters, why not let them act with you?"


    Liu Zijian was not as honest as one might think, although he was associated with Chu Feng and the Holy Envoy.


    At the same time, he also maintained close contact with Dongying, looking for another support.


    "That... Alright! Have theme to Cloud City and find me immediately!"


    Chu Feng frowned, he had been approached by the Japanese ck Clothes Society before when he nned to make a move on the Ye Family, but at that time, the situation was favorable, so Elder Zhang did not ept their offer.


    But now, the situation was starting to seem off, and putting the Japanese in front seemed like a good choice.


    Just after hanging up with Liu Zijian, a call from Elder Zhang came through, "Chu Feng, what''s the situation? How did Ye Fan kill the eldest son of the Liu Family as soon as he arrived in Cloud City? Do you know how bad the impact of this incident is?"


    In a secret courtyard in the Northwest, Elder Zhang, holding the phone, had his brow tightly furrowed, wearing a very displeased expression.


    Elder Zhang had a boss above him, who had just given him a severe reprimand over the phone.


    It had been several days since Su Family and Yu Linglong dered their support for the Ye Family, yet the Su Family was still alive and well, even having perfectly held a press conference.


    Inparison, the people arranged by Elder Zhang, the Zhao Family, Li Family, and Wang Family, had all perished, and even the forces from the Provincial City had been ughtered before they could take action.


    The Ye Family had even arrogantly let an idiot take action, this was a demonstration!


    "Elder, please calm down, Chu Feng is fully aware! I have arrived in Cloud City, the Japanese want to intervene, and I have agreed... I believe I will soon be giving the Elder an exnation! I always feel something is very wrong with the Ye Family now, that idiotic monstrous genius of the Ye Family, I fear he may have awakened... I will report any news to you as soon as possible..."


    In the courtyard in the Northwest, Elder Zhang hung up the phone with his facial muscles twitching a couple of times, "Ah! Throwing a stone to ask for directions, Chu Feng threw such a big stone, I''m afraid in the end, we won''t be able to discern any information, and that would be a loss indeed!"


    "Elder, is the Ye Family really that terrifying?"


    Elder Zhang, rubbing his head with a headache, said, "ording to the divination by the Diviner above us, there will definitely be a Qilin Childing from the Ye Family, a presence that can shake the whole of Great Xia, even the globalndscape! That''s why the big boss above put so much effort into mobilizing so many forces to wipe out the Ye Family... but we eliminated all possibilities and only missed this idiot Ye Fan, ah, I don''t know if it''s still toote now..."


    ...


    In Cloud City, when Ye Fan and Liu Wuyang returned to the conference hall!


    Guo Li and Wang Fugui were in the middle of a meeting with everyone!


    "You all must have received the news already, Xu Jian and Xu Dong, father and son, are dead. The Ye Corporation will ultimately belong to my elder brother, so the Old Master has appointed me and Patriarch Xia as deputy heads, temporarily assisting my elder brother in managing the Ye Corporation!"


    "We need to add another deputy head, and that is Liu Wuyang here, the second young master of the Liu Family, whom you all have just met! He has contributed to the Ye Family, been ostracized by the Liu Family, and in a short time, has built up amercial empire worth tens of billions. Therefore, when myself, Guo Li, and Mr. Xia are not around, all matters of the Ye Corporation will be arranged by him..."


    A sharp light shed in Ye Fan''s eyes as he spoke calmly, yet his words left no room for rebuttal.


    Your next read is at m v|l-e-NovelBin


    "Does anyone have objections to my decision?"


    Ye Fan nced at everyone as he asked symbolically.


    Everyone has seen Ye Fan''s recent performance.


    Although Ye Fan has not announced it openly, from the plight of the Ye Family''s rivals, everyone has guessed that Ye Fan must have awakened long ago.


    Such defying methods, the Ye Corporation was about to be sold off cheaply, but Ye Fan turned the tables against heaven''s will, a demonic genius is indeed a demonic genius...


    With such strength, who would dare to oppose?


    "My elder brother is asking you all a question, are you deaf?" Wang Fugui saw that the crowd''s reaction was not strong, and he suddenly pped his hands down on the table, a hugemotion that startled everyone present.


    "No...no objections! We firmly support Young Master Ye''s leadership!"


    Everyone responded in unison!


    "Young Master Liu, you take charge of arranging the work! That n about Pinduoduo that you talked about before, you can go ahead and execute it, there are no problems! All thepany''s funds, you can ess however you please... they are responsible to you, and you only need to be responsible to me, for significant issues, you can discuss with Young Master Guo and Mr. Xia..."


    Ye Fan gave Liu Wuyang enough authority, and while Liu Wuyang was moved, he also felt considerable pressure, "Thank you for the trust, Young Master Ye, I will give it my all!"


    Dominating the business world was also Liu Wuyang''s dream.


    Before, he could only move in secret, but now that Ye Fan had given him a super stage, he must push his talent to its limits.


    The Ye Corporation was going to experience a radical restructuring, a purge of personnel, and these were no longer concerns for Ye Fan.


    With Guo Li and Liu Wuyang taking charge of operations, Ye Fan immediately left the meeting room and entered a nearby rest room. After closing the door, Ye Fan took out the Undying Bone that Liu Qingyang had been carrying.


    His Qi Force began to circte in his hand, and he started to devour and absorb the pure Vitality Force contained within, as the method recorded in the dragon-patterned ring prescribed.


    A gentle force began to emerge from the Undying Bone, as if something had been activated.


    The next moment, an immensely vast energy began to radiate from the rest room as its center.


    Ye Fan instantly felt a burst of vigorous Vitality Force crazily surging into his body''s meridians, as if it hadin dormant for a long time and finally found an outlet for release.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ye Fan, who had already been at the peak of the Martial Venerable Realm, began to rapidly gather the Rudy Force Qi Energy in his body, as his dantian continued to nourish and cultivate, expanding and solidifying!


    Even the flickering Inheritance Fire within Ye Fan''s dantian was affected, starting to shake violently and also madly absorbing the energy from the Undying Bone.


    Barely a me before, in just a moment, it had already be much brighter!


    Is it this powerful?


    Feeling the strong energy contained in the Undying Bone, Ye Fan was stirred as countless profoundbat experiences also flooded into his mind.


    If this pace continued, he would soon be able to break through to the Martial Emperor Level.


    In the entire Great Xia, there were not many who had reached the level of an Emperor.


    By then, even if they tried to besiege him, would they easily kill him?


    Who could stop the rise of the Ye Family?


    Crack!


    As Ye Fan''s thoughts soared, he suddenly felt as if something in his dantian had shattered.


    Was it the barrier of the Martial Venerable Realm breaking, meaning that Ye Fan could make another breakthrough to Martial Emperor?


    Without any hesitation, Ye Fan continued to sit cross-legged, fully focused on striking at the Martial Emperor Level!


    ...

 Chapter 71 The Birth of the Youngest Martial Emperor Monster!

    Ye Changfeng and his old friends had just reached the vicinity of the Ye Corporation''s conference room alongside Lei Qianjue when they noticed strong energy fluctuationsing from the side resting room.


    Ye Changfeng''s eyebrows rose, and although he already had a guess, he still asked the bodyguard at the door, "Who is inside?"


    "Elder Ye, it''s the Young Master inside!" The door guard was personally arranged by Old Master Ye, all belonging to Elder Ye''s legitimate line, among whom the leader was a grandmaster-level expert, naturally able to sense the intense energy fluctuations inside, "It seems like the Young Master is making a breakthrough!"


    Ye Changfeng nodded and reprimanded Leng Feng and the grandmaster captain sharply, "Seal off this ce, no one is allowed near here without my order!"


    As his words fell, Ye Changfeng took out several red Rune Talismans from his person and activated their power, forming a strong circlet of flowing light, enveloping the resting room.


    This was a protective circle left to Ye Changfeng by a senior, designed to conceal the conditions inside the circle from detection outside.


    To the outside world, Ye Fan''s identity was still that of an imbecile.


    If they were to realize he had already reached Martial Emperor level, then the Ye Family''s enemies would either hide away in fear, never to surface again, or they would act desperately, even urging foreign experts to strike, ying Ye Fan in his cradle.


    Therefore, Ye Changfeng now understood he had to keep a low profile!


    Wait until sufficient strength was umted before taking action!


    If Ye Fan had indeed awakened, with his monstrous talent, it should not take too long before he ascended to the Martial Saint realm.


    By that time, Ye Fan would truly stand at the peak of the Martial World.


    Martial Saint level experts, there wouldn''t be more than ten across the entire globe. Moreover, almost all of them were on the brink of an indestructible state of being, where even if they fought desperately against one another, they would be in a situation where none could do anything to the other.


    ...


    What Ye Changfeng didn''t know, however, was that even though he had wrapped up Ye Fan''s energy fluctuations using the Rune Talisman''s power,


    the celestial phenomenon caused by the impact on the Martial Emperor level was simply too strong.


    Several minutes earlier, above Ye Corporation''s skyscraper, strong energy fluctuations began to gather, forming an energy vortex that made even Cloud City lose its color.


    In a vi on the outskirts of Cloud City''s Eastern Suburbs, several old men in gray robes, after noticing the energy fluctuations, started up a mysterious device and then focused on the energy fluctuation level on the device. When they saw the energy on the device break through the final red level, the old men couldn''t help but jump up excitedly, "It''s the Undying Bone! It''s the power of the Undying Bone, has the clue left by the master finally appeared?"


    "Is the coordinate confirmed? Where is it? The master has been gone for so many years, and before he left, he asked us to safeguard the Wandering Spirits Organization and support the Young Master. We''ve been waiting for twenty years... and now we''ve finally waited!"


    "The coordinate has been confirmed, it''s at... right at the Ye Corporation? However, the energy onlysted for a very short time, and now it''s been concealed? What''s going on?"


    Just as they confirmed the coordinates, they noticed that the energy fluctuations had suddenly disappeared.


    "It''s not surprising! Since that is the offspring of the master, he certainly has some special means. Breaking through to the Martial Emperor level will definitely attract the attention of many other martial arts experts. Concealing one''s energy fluctuations is the best method!"


    The practice of Martial Arts also follows the Law of the Dark Forest.


    All Martial Dao Cultivators are hunters in the dark with shotguns, with no one knowing who will fire first.


    And the best strategy is to take the first shot and kill the others.


    "Wait, where did you say the coordinates were?" After a few seconds, the few old men at the scene seemed toe to a realization and asked one of the technical operators with amazement.


    "Ye Corporation, huh... What happened...?"


    Just as he got halfway through speaking, the technician old man also couldn''t help but p his thigh abruptly, "Ah! Damn, I just realized, you guys are talking about... the Ye Family... that monstrous talent from five years ago... Could it be him?"


    "Yes! Yes! Yes! We had already taken notice of that kid from the Ye Family back then, we just didn''t have any evidence... After that he became foolish, and we didn''t care anymore... But now it seems, he won''t be able to escape!"


    "Haha! That''s great, the person we''ve been looking for has been right under our noses all along, thankfully we didn''t act impulsively, and we were almost misled by those people to get involved in taking action against the Ye Family! Quick, notify the Elder immediately, the Wandering Spirits Organization''s people are about to start moving! Since the Ye Family is the descendant family of our master, we can''t ignore the current situation of the Ye Family anymore!"


    "Niu Er, you already have the strength of a Martial Venerable Level,ter follow me to check on the Young Master, if the Young Master encounters any trouble, we can also lend a hand and help out!"


    ...


    In the Ye Corporation, the rest room!


    Ye Fan had circted the Qi Force within his body for forty-nine Sunday cycles and only then did he finally feel that more than half of the Qi within him had been absorbed.


    The energy contained within the Undying Bone was too terrifying, Ye Fan''s physique had been enhanced by the dragon-patterned ring from an early stage, yet he was still incapable of absorbing all the energy, the remaining energy was instead hidden within Ye Fan''s meridians, waiting forter use.


    Ye Fan turned his hand to look at it, just now it was in the Undying Bone, but now it had vanishedpletely, fully absorbed by Ye Fan.


    In Ye Fan''s dantian, the mes became even more vigorous, and the Qi sphere formed by the Qi Force in Ye Fan''s dantian also became more solidified.


    The strength of the Martial Emperor Level had reached a very terrifying state. Ye Fan only slightly released his Perception and was already able to clearly feel all the movements within a few hundred meters radius!


    Birds, insects, fish, and even flies, words, and the movements of ants, the sound of seeds breaking through the soil, Ye Fan could feel them all... He could also sense the flow of the life force of the creatures around him, and even absorb it for his own use!


    He wondered if absorbing the life force of those creatures was a unique ability to him?


    Naturally, Ye Fan also felt his grandfather outside the door, protecting him.


    Grandfather''s own Martial Arts Qi, due to physical injury, had been stuck at the Grandmaster Level for a long time, but he was able to use Rune Talismans to cover up his energy fluctuations.


    It seems that the Ye Family still has a lot of underlying secrets that he didn''t know about!


    However, now that his own strength had broken through to this realm, and with Lei Qianjue''s cover, he could just say he had temporarily recovered. In front of Grandfather, he could appropriately demonstrate some of his own strengths, so Grandfather wouldn''t be too worried.


    At the same time, he would also have to find a way to further enhance Grandfather''s strength.


    That way, even if he was not around, Grandfather would at least have the ability to protect himself.


    "Grandfather..." The door opened, and Ye Fan called out to Ye Changfeng.


    These past few days, the Ye Family had almost been wiped out, dealing a huge blow to Ye Changfeng, whose energy had been very poor the first two days.


    But today, ever since Ye Changfeng learned about Ye Fan''s secret, he had been beaming with pleasure!


    "My good grandson! You''ve been wronged... You''ve worked hard..." Ye Changfeng didn''t say much, but hugged Ye Fan tightly, unable to stop the tears from the corners of his eyes from sliding down.


    Ye Fan looked at Grandfather''s demeanor, wanting to say something, but Ye Changfeng directly interrupted him, "Xiao Fan, whatever you have to say, we''ll talk about it when we get back!"

 Chapter 72: Chapter 72 The Ye Familys Powerful Heritage!

    Grandfather''s behavior left Ye Fan somewhat helpless! Continue your saga on m|v-l''e-NovelBin


    Recently, so many things had happened in the Ye Family, and as themander of the Tianlong Army, Grandfather naturally noticed something. Plus, with what happened today, Grandpa must already know about me waking up!


    I guess I can''t avoid a lecture when the timees.


    But when Ye Fan thought of his deceased brothers and uncles, he felt it was a kind of happiness.


    Apart from his missing parents, Grandfather was thest rtive Ye Fan had in this world.


    Ye Fan treasured the time he spent with his grandfather all the more.


    Ye Changfeng took Ye Fan to make an appearance at the Ye Corporation meeting, which was a powerful show of support for him.


    With this, Guo Li, Xia Hao, Liu Wuyang, and others could carry out their ns without any resistance.


    After finishing these matters, Ye Changfeng hurriedly took Ye Fan back home.


    ...


    In the car on the way home, Leng Feng was driving, with Lei Qianjue and Ye Fan, and the three of them including Ye Changfeng were sitting inside.


    "Good heavens, Old Lei, you''ve made it quite bitter for me to keep in the dark! Had I not found out myself, how long were you nning to keep it from me?" Ye Changfeng said somewhat irritably, pounding on Lei Qianjue''s shoulder.


    Lei Qianjue looked at Ye Fan, seeking his opinion.


    Ye Fan sighed deeply and said, "Back then, my condition had not fully recovered; I dared not expose myself. Now that Grandpa has found out, there''s no need to hide it any longer!"


    With Ye Fan''s permission, Lei Qianjue hurriedly spoke up, "Old Ye, it''s not that I didn''t want to tell you. It''s that Master wouldn''t let me. It''s been even harder for me to keep it in! I had the words on the tip of my tongue, but I had to swallow them back down!"


    "Master?" Hearing Lei Qianjue''s words and looking at him and then at Ye Fan, Ye Changfeng suddenly burst intoughter, "What do you mean, Lei Qianjue, you''ve taken my grandson as your master? Haha, then you should be calling me Grand Tutor, let''s hear it, haha!"


    Ye Changfeng was in a great mood today and couldn''t resist joking around with Lei Qianjue.


    Lei Qianjue felt somewhat gloomy, "Although I''m quite unwilling, ording to seniority, I really should call you that! I am willing to acknowledge Young Master Ye''s strength..."


    After all, Ye Fan was the Young Medical Immortal who had once dominated the Southwest, capable of surpassing even the Great Xia Medical Saint.


    Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles, and the Snow Face ster Prescription that supported the Su Corporation, any one of them was an earth-shattering creation.


    "Alright! Just a joke," Ye Changfeng interrupted Lei Qianjue and then turned to look seriously at Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, when did you wake up? You really kept Grandpa in the dark quite bitterly... Ah..."


    While talking, Ye Changfeng started to tear up again.


    The Ye Family, such arge family, and now only Ye Fan and Ye Changfeng were left.


    It was only a short day or so in retrospect, and it was indeed very poignant to talk about.


    "I woke up in the same year the Ye Family was exterminated... Five years ago, I was trying out the Rune Talisman, and due to the effects of a car ident, I retreated from the world for five years, which is why I only woke up then... I''m sorry, Grandpa..."


    Ye Fan exined all the states he had experienced after awakening in detail to his grandfather.


    Since Grandfather already knew that he had awakened, Ye Fan didn''t n to keep it from him and told him all his ns.


    "As expected... the Zhao Family, Li Family, Wang Family, including Xu Jian, were all dealt with by you... Indeed, a true seed of the Old Ye Family, well done; damn it, we''ve finally taken a breath of relief..."


    "ording to what Liu Qingyang and those from the Zhao Family confessed, it wasn''t just one powerful group that took action against the Ye Family. There''s an organization called the Holy Envoy Organization and people from the military involved! Liu Qingyang participated in the assassination of my second brother and has been dealt with... Now, a big shot hase over to the Northwest, intent on directly moving against me and the Ye Family, so I''m urgently trying to make a breakthrough..."


    Since the enemy dared toe directly from the Northwest and take action against the Ye Family, their strength must certainly be at the Martial Venerable Realm.


    Ye Fan''s breakthrough to the Martial Emperor level was also just in case.


    "Afterward, I n to have Liu Wuyang establish amercial group to provide strong financial support from the business sector! Additionally, we need to form abat support team... Those people want to target the Ye Family, don''t they? They want to strike at the Su Family, Yu Linglong and other families to intimidate others, right? Then we will systematically uproot all their pawns, and ultimately force them to show themselves. They must pay the price for their actions..."


    "However, the less my identity is revealed before the real enemy appears, the better..."


    After listening to Ye Fan''s exnation, Ye Changfeng had no extra words to say.


    "Heaven has not extinguished our Ye Family, they say a Qilin Child would emerge from the Ye Family, and now one has finally appeared?" Ye Changfeng''s tears ran freely as he wiped away a tear and continued, "Xiao Fan, I had lost all hope after this great disaster, but now... you go ahead and do as you please! Come home with Grandpa, although Grandpa is old, I can still lend you a helping hand!"


    The Ye Family has dominated Great Xia for so many years without falling, even the royal family wouldn''t act rashly, surely because of the Ye Family''s foundation.


    And today, Ye Changfeng had decided to reveal all of the Ye Family''s heritage to Ye Fan!


    ��


    In the Ye Family estate, Ye Changfeng, upon his return today, had increased the security forces by fivefold!


    Even Wang Fugui''s grandfather had been called over.


    Lei Qianjue, with his strength at the Control Realm, also took on the duty of a guard, participating in the vignce.


    After everything was arranged, Ye Changfeng then took Ye Fan towards the backyard garden of the Ye Family estate!


    Behind the Ye Family estate was a huge garden with a very spaciouske.


    As a child, Ye Fan had yed countless times in the rockery park. Ye Changfeng walked to several of the rockeries, touching here and tampering there... In the next moment, the t ground began to shake, and the garden actually split open to reveal a huge stairway entrance.


    "Let''s go!"


    Ye Changfeng beckoned to Ye Fan, who followed the stairs down, and Ye Fan himself was stunned by the sight!


    This... When he was young, he yed in the garden for so long and never noticed that beneath the garden, there was another world!


    Even though Ye Fan had now broken through to the Martial Emperor level, when he released his perception earlier, he was still obstructed by a mysterious force underground.


    Clearly, the Ye Family had an expert backing them, having set prohibitions in the garden to block prying eyes.


    This was the first time Ye Fan entered the underground of the garden!


    After walking down the staircase for a hundred meters or so, the space suddenly expanded into a huge hall filled with memorial tablets.


    "These are the officers who sacrificed themselves in the Tianlong Army, including Division Commanders, Generals... and ordinary coachmen... Grandpa remembers them all..." As Ye Changfeng spoke, he lit a stick of incense and handed it to Ye Fan, "Offer them incense. It''s time you knew about this!"


    "Originally, with the protection of your uncles and brothers, I nned for you to live as Crown Prince Anle, but under the current circumstances, you must bear the responsibility of the Ye Family!"


    After Ye Fan offered the incense, Ye Changfeng led him towards arge door on the side!


    Upon stepping through that door, Ye Fan was shocked by the scene before him.


    "This ve greets Young Master Ye!" As soon as Ye Fan entered, four extremely beautiful maids rushed over to him and bowed respectfully to Ye Fan.


    The Four Great Maids, their bodies emanating Martial Arts Qi fluctuations, were actually Grandmaster Realm powerhouses, with stunning appearances. Were all these prepared for him?

 Chapter 73 Mothers Clairvoyance?

    Grandfather, when did you prepare such stunning maids for yourself?


    Even the maids are so formidable!


    The depths of the Ye Family, are they this terrifying?


    "Grandfather... this..."


    Outsiders think that by taking out all those core disciples of the Ye Family, they could easily shake the Ye Family. Little do they know that what the Ye Family has shown above water is just the tip of the iceberg!


    "Since we have to do great things, reliable and loyal manpower is essential! These people were not prepared by me for you, they were left for you by your mother before she left!" Ye Changfeng said with a smile, "Your mother said that one day, you would need them!"


    "My mother?" Ye Fan''s pupils dted, he had never seen his mother since he was a child.


    Could his mother have foreseen events more than twenty years in the future and arranged everything for his future path?


    Just who exactly was his mother?


    "Yes, your mother is not dead. She just went to a faraway ce with your father! Before she left, she instructed me that if you led a mediocre life, you would never need these things... But the key point is that you have never been mediocre since childhood. At fifteen, you already possessed the strength of the Grandmaster Peak�� If you hadn''t had that car ident five years ago, I should have told you these things then..."


    "It''s not toote to tell you these things now! Besides the underground forces of the Ye Family, your mother also arranged other precautions in Great Xia; there are many I am not aware of, and you will have to explore them yourself!"


    Ye Changfeng continued to lead Ye Fan towards the inner hall.


    "Greetings to Elder Ye, greetings to the young master!"


    At the very back, a team of people in ck outfits were training. Upon seeing Ye Fan and Ye Changfeng approaching, they immediately stopped their training and bowed respectfully.


    "These are the eighty-one dead soldiers your mother selected for you from a young age, who have been trained for so many years, known as the Blood Guard. All arepletely loyal and reliable, and if you want to establish your own force, you can use them as a foundation to expand!" Ye Changfeng whispered to Ye Fan as he introduced them, "These Blood Guards have been extraordinary since childhood, and it seems your mother has ced some prohibitions on them. You don''t have to worry about safety or loyalty!"


    Ye Changfeng kept leading Ye Fan around the underground hall, showing him various connections, resources, assets, treasures...


    This time, Ye Changfeng did not hold back any secrets from Ye Fan.


    "Additionally, it''s time to hand over the Tianlong Army Military Command Token to you!" They reached the most secretive chamber at the end, and Ye Changfeng took out a ck dragon-patterned token from his person, rubbed it vigorously, and a burst of Qi Force swept over it, seeming to erase something on the token.


    Whoosh!


    The next moment, Ye Changfeng used his Qi Force to cut open a small gash on Ye Fan''s finger and let the blood drip onto the token.


    "The Tianlong Military Order is nurtured by the blood and warmth of a million soldiers and has a subtle connection to them. The spirit of the Tianlong Army may even assist you at a crucial moment. Your mother helped design this as well, but as for the principle behind it, even now, I am not clear!"

    Ye Changfeng solemnly handed the token to Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, the future of the Ye Family rests on you now!"


    "You must not fail the Ye Family, nor disappoint your sisters-inw!"


    After Ye Changfeng showed Ye Fan around the underground hall, Ye Fan gained a new understanding of the various depths of the Ye Family.


    It turned out that behind the scenes, the Ye Family had such vastworks of people, not only within the military but also domestically, internationally, in Martial Arts... and the unknown backups arranged by his mother. It would be impossible for the enemies topletely destroy the Ye Family.


    "Xiao Fan, if you had continued to be in such a numb state, I would not have bothered. But now that you have awakened, the Ye Family must take another gamble... I might need to make a trip to the Capital to secure a future for the Ye Family! As for what you want to do, go ahead... As long as Grandfather is breathing, no one would dare to touch you..."


    Ye Changfeng handed over all matters of the Ye Family to Ye Fan, and after finishing, he seemed much more rxed, his spirits soaring.


    Ye Fan nodded inwardly, "Grandfather, your health should have improved under Mr. Lei''s care, right?"


    Previously, Ye Fan didn''t want to reveal too much in front of his grandfather, so he had Lei Qianjue use the Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles to treat him.


    "It''s much better now! I was curious why Old Lei''s medical skills were suddenly so impressive when he was never that strong before; now I understand it was all your doing!" Ye Changfeng said excitedly, "If my health continues to improve, perhaps I can break through to the Martial Venerable Realm within my lifetime. At that time, our Ye Family''s influence will certainly be able to climb another step!"


    Helping his grandfather to enhance his strength was also one of Ye Fan''s considerations.


    "Grandfather, let me check!" As Ye Fan spoke, he took hold of Ye Changfeng''s wrist, carefully feeling his pulse.


    Ye Fan could clearly sense that the breath within Ye Changfeng''s body was much stabler than before, Lei Qianjue must not have been skimping these past days; using the Ghost Valley Thirteen Needles, he had repaired many of grandfather''s injuries.


    However, Lei Qianjue''s own Martial Arts Qi force was too weak, limiting the effectiveness of each treatment.


    Back when Ye Fan''s strength was merely at the Martial Venerable level, he couldn''t repair his grandfather''s injuries in a short time.


    But now, having absorbed the Undying Bone from Liu Qingyang''s possession, Ye Fan''s strength had broken through to the Martial Emperor level, and with the residual power of the Undying Bone inside him, fixing his grandfather''s injuries was not an issue.


    "Grandfather, please take a seat. I should be able to help with your injuries!" Ye Fan gestured for his grandfather to sit on a chair in the secret chamber. Power from the Martial Emperor level surged in his body, as he also mobilized the Undying Bone power that he hadn''t yet absorbed, rapidly healing the hidden injuries in Ye Changfeng''s body and revitalizing the withering meridians with new life.


    Ye Changfeng, feeling his meridians continuously being repaired and the strengthening Qi within him, appeared shocked in his gaze.


    This Ye Fan, just like his mother, was not an ordinary person, was he?


    The injuries that others found impossible to fix were so easily mended in Ye Fan''s hands?


    In just over ten minutes, Ye Changfeng felt his body had undergone aplete transformation, and it seemed that he had instantly returned to the state of a young man, "Xiao Fan, I feel like my strength is about to break through, if only I had some Elixir Pills to help..."


    Ye Changfeng''s previous strength had been at the Peak Grandmaster level for quite some time, and if not for the hidden injuries sustained inbat years ago, he would have already broken through to the Martial Venerable Realm.


    But now, with his injuries repaired, Ye Changfeng immediately showed signs of breaking through.


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, "You don''t have to worry about Elixir Pills, Grandfather! Five years ago, I was already able to refine Vitality Pills on my own..."


    As he spoke, Ye Fan took out a porcin bottle from his bosom and handed it to Ye Changfeng, "There are five Elixir Pills inside. Keep them for yourself. Besides for your own breakthrough, consider which core members of the Ye Family are worth promoting, and help them enhance their strength! If it''s not enough, you can always ask me for more!"


    "Ah... this..."


    Ye Changfeng opened the porcin bottle, looking at the fragrant Vitality Pills inside, his mouth gaping open.


    What kind of treasure trove existence was this grandson of his?


    Is there anything in this world that''s difficult for him to achieve?


    "Elder Ye, young master, there''s a situation outside! Someone is trying to force their way into the Ye Family, they''re very strong, and the Guard Team has already suffered many casualties!"


    Hmm?


    Ye Fan''s eyebrows furrowed, "Have they finallye?"

 Chapter 74: Chapter 74 My strength as Martial Venerable, can they stop me if I want to kill you?

    Before Chu Feng arrived from the Northwest, Ye Fan had already broken through to the Martial Emperor Level. He wanted to see just how skilled this big shot Chu Feng from the Northwest really was.


    Since Ye Fan was facing him, he intended to crush him with absolute strength!


    Chu Feng was the crucial link to tearing open the true culprit behind the Military, and what Ye Fan wanted was to be dominant!


    "Xiao Fan, how about you hide for a while?" Although Ye Changfeng knew that Ye Fan had awakened and his strength was not weak, he was still somewhat worried.


    After all, those who wanted to bring the Ye Family to ruin were exceptionally powerful both in strength and background. This time, they had actually sent people directly to the Cloud City headquarters to take action, which must have cost them dearly.


    The Ye Family had only Ye Fan as their sole seedling; Ye Changfeng did not want anything to happen to him.


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Don''t worry! Grandfather, since I dare to show myself, I have absolute confidence! Moreover, if my strength at the Martial Emperor Level cannot resist them, then there''s little hope for the Ye Family''s rise to power!"


    Hiss!


    Martial Emperor?


    Hearing Ye Fan''s assessment of his own strength, Ye Changfeng couldn''t help but take a gasp of cold air.


    Although Ye Changfeng had already roughly guessed Ye Fan''s breakthrough in strength before, hearing Ye Fan himself confirm it was still quite shocking.


    "Good! Good! Good!" Ye Changfeng said "good" three times in a row, "Everyone, did you all hear that? Our little young master of the Ye Family is now at the Martial Emperor Level. Heaven has not forsaken our Ye Family. From now on, I hope everyone will take good care of Ye Fan!"


    Ye Changfeng bowed to the dead soldiers, as well as to Ye Fan''s Four Great Maids, in the underground hall.


    "Grandfather, let''s go up!" Ye Fan called to Ye Changfeng and the Four Great Maids to follow him up the stairs, "Once we''re out of this door, I will still be that foolish young master, understand?"


    Ye Fan was still worried that his grandfather and the Four Great Maids might not understand, so he reminded everyone again before heading out.


    It was definitely better to handle many things while ying the fool, now that Ye Fan had awakened in secret.


    "Yes!"


    ...


    The main gate of the Ye Family Courtyard was already in ruins at this point.


    The originally imposing gate waspletely smashed to pieces, with rocks scattered everywhere, creating arge heap of rubble.


    "The Ye Family, is that it? Is this all the Ye Family''s got?" Chu Feng, together with a group of his subordinates, made no attempt to hide and charged directly into the Ye Family estate.


    Captain Leng Feng, leading the Ye Family''s core guards, still tried to block their way.


    But Chu Feng''s strength was far above the Martial Venerable level, and he had five or six grandmaster level experts by his side. Leng Feng''s troops were simply courting death by facing them head-on.


    "Captain Leng Feng, don''t waste your effort. Your men can''t stop me! In recognition that you are a true man, stand aside. I''m here for Elder Ye and Ye Fan. As long as the others don''t resist, I can spare your lives!"


    Although Liu Qingyang''s death had caused some trouble and dissatisfaction for Chu Feng,


    But once Chu Feng really arrived at the Ye Family estate and broke into the courtyard, he suddenly felt that the Ye Family might not be that difficult to deal with after all.


    In the face of absolute power, all fancy tricks are in vain!


    The elite troops today brought by Chu Feng were all battle-hardened. They would not show up unless they meant business, and they were here for the purpose of annihting the Ye Family.


    Although he knew that killing thest two core figures of the Ye Family, a senior and a junior, would definitely cause a huge uproar in Great Xia, Chu Feng came prepared for everything.


    Since he was not afraid of death, there was nothing else to fear!


    "Hmph! With you trash only daring to strike at the Ye Family from behind, you think you can exterminate us? Let me tell you, you won''t be able to wipe out the Ye Family... When the young master awakens, you''ll all have to bury with the Ye Family!" Leng Feng was the most loyal Guard Captain beside Ye Changfeng. Having followed Ye Changfeng for many years, he held profound feelings for the Ye Family.


    Even though he knew his men were no match for Chu Feng and his people, he still stood resolutely at the entrance of the Ye Family inner courtyard with the Ye Family''s guards, refusing to yield an inch!


    "Since you''re seeking death yourself, then don''t me me for being impolite!"


    At a wave of Chu Feng''s hand, the five or six grandmaster-level experts under him took a step forward, their entire bodies surging with Martial Breath.


    "In this ce, including that old geezer Ye Changfeng, there are only three grandmaster-level experts. On our side, we have enough experts topletely crush you in numbers. You still want to resist to the end? It''s simply a death wish!"


    Chu Feng had thoroughly investigated all of the Ye Family''s strengths before arriving.


    The Ye Family now was like leaves in the autumn wind, making itsst, dying struggle.


    He really didn''t understand why the likes of Liu Qingyang, the Zhao Family, the Wang Family, and those other trash couldn''t deal with a family that was about to fall.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Just as Chu Feng finished speaking, a group of people rushed out from the back courtyard!


    Ye Changfeng and Ye Fan were at the forefront, with Ye Fan surrounded by four breathtakingly beautiful maids, all exuding grandmaster-level Martial Qi fluctuations.


    Moreover, behind Ye Fan, there were also two Dead Soldiers, both of grandmaster level.


    "Hmph! Who says the Ye Family only has three grandmaster-level powerhouses? You really think my Ye Family has no one left?" Ye Changfeng snorted grimly, sizing up Chu Feng with a sharp gaze.


    Although Ye Changfeng had some guesses about his arch-enemy, Chu Feng was a new rising talent and Ye Changfeng was not involved much in the actual affairs, so he did not recognize Chu Feng.


    Hmm?


    Instantly, six grandmaster-level powerhouses appeared beside Ye Fan?


    What the hell!


    What''s going on here?


    Seeing such a development, Chu Feng''s expression began to grow grave, and he turned his head to re at one of his subordinates, furious. Was this the intelligence gathering their team had done?


    Wasn''t it said that after the core of the Ye Family was killed, the Ye Family was nearly falling apart? Howe so many powerful fighters suddenly appeared?


    Moreover, seeing how those maids and Dead Soldiers treated Ye Fan with such respect and caution, it wasplete adoration, an unconditional protection. Thebat power they disyed was definitely not lesser than his own men.


    With the appearance of the four grandmaster-level Four Great Maids beside Ye Fan, the bnce of power between the two sides was instantly achieved.


    "Laotzu was ying enemies on the battlefield while you were still in diapers! Hmph! Now you covertly attack the Ye Family and you''re not even willing to spare our only heir?" Ye Changfeng stared at Chu Feng and continued, "Tell your master, if he has the guts, why didn''t he confront me back then?"


    Chu Feng was left speechless by Ye Changfeng''s retort!


    Because in the whole of Great Xia, nobody could deny the magnificent contributions made by the Ye Family to the entire nation!


    It could be said that more than half of Great Xia was conquered by the Ye Family Army.


    Nowadays, everyone was just wary of the Ye Family''s power, fearing the threat they presented, so they made their move!


    However, Chu Feng was after all a trusted aide of Elder Zhang, and after a momentarypse, he instantly recovered, "Elder Ye! The fate of the Ye Family has been sealed. I intended to offer you an honorable end, but if you insist on bringing it on yourselves, then I have no choice but to personally see you off!"


    "Even if you have six grandmaster-level powerhouses, what of it? I am already at the peak of Martial Venerable�� Do you think you can stop me from killing that fool Ye Fan and Elder Ye?"

 Chapter 75 Another Super Power Comes to Join the Fray?

    This is Chu Feng''s confidence!


    Having broken through to the Martial Master Venerable peak, throughout the entire Great Xia, aside from those few old monsters, no one else could stop Chu Feng!


    In other words, even if Chu Fengpletely annihted the Ye Family today, even if those vassal families and powers affiliated with the Ye Family sought revenge, they would not be able to do anything to Chu Feng.


    Unless Ye Fan hadn''t awakened or his strength hadn''t advanced to the Martial Emperor level!


    Today, the Ye Family would likely have to reveal all their cards in an attempt to organize against Chu Feng''s actions!


    Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow. If it had been earlier, he might have been worried, but now, knowing Ye Fan''s strength and situation, Ye Changfeng waspletely calm. The look he gave Chu Feng was as if he were looking at an idiot.


    Ye Fan was in the midst of investigating the true reason behind the demise of the Ye Family, and this guy had delivered himself to the doorstep, which provided a perfect starting point for a deeper investigation!


    Ye Fan stood next to Ye Changfeng and moved his lips slightly, sizing Chu Feng up and down.


    Dealing with the strength of the Martial Master Venerable peak wasn''t a difficult task for Ye Fan.


    Moreover, after devouring the Undying Bone, Ye Fan had activated a super characteristic!


    Teleportation!


    He could instantly activate it with a thought and move to a location a dozen meters away.


    In a contest between experts, even the slightest margin could be fatal, not to mention that Ye Fan possessed this life-saving "sh" ability.


    At critical moments, it could be used for a massive attack or for escape; it was a truly lethal move!


    Before Ye Fan even opened his mouth to speak, a strong Martial Breath fluctuated at the gate, and another group of experts appeared in the Ye Family Courtyard.


    "Who wishes to kill our Young Master? You''ll have to get past Old Niu first!"


    Rustle!


    With the sound of noisy footsteps from outside, a group of at least twenty or thirty experts appeared before everyone, surrounding Chu Feng and his subordinates in the middle.


    "People from Wandering Spirits? What brings you here?" Chu Feng recognized the leader Niu Er, who seemed to be a capable figure within the Wandering Spirits Organization, and his pupils couldn''t help but tighten.


    The Great Xia Martial Arts had developed for many years!


    Apart from the major super families, there were those traditional sects, Buddhist Sect, Taoist Sect, Confucian Sect, Shaolin, and so on... In addition, some other organizations had formed.


    For instance, the Town Martial Hall with official backing, as well as the civilian-formed Martial Alliance, Wandering Spirits, de''s Edge... among which, Wandering Spirits was one of the organizations with immense influence.


    It is said that the Wandering Spirits once established hundreds of branches worldwide.


    Some foreign dignitaries considered it an honor to join the Wandering Spirits martial arts organization. However, suddenly, it seemed that Wandering Spirits encountered some major internal upheaval, and the organization began to stay hidden and low-profile.


    But no one dared to underestimate the formidable power of the Wandering Spirits Organization!


    Bear in mind, there are Martial Emperor level experts stationed within Wandering Spirits!


    Elder Zhang and others had formed some agreements with Wandering Spirits in secret when they were nning to make a move against the Ye Family.


    Although Wandering Spirits wouldn''t support them, at the very least, they wouldn''t obstruct them.


    And now, the people from Wandering Spirits had suddenly appeared, even iming to protect the Young Master... This made things ratherplicated!


    "Hmph! Was I not clear enough when I spoke? I''m here to protect our Young Master. If you want to start a war with Wandering Spirits, try moving a finger," Niu Er apparently didn''t have a good temper, and he directly cursed at Chu Feng.


    Chu Feng, after all, is Elder Zhang''s secretary, a high-level figure who is his left and right arm.


    How could he possibly endure such humiliation?


    "Hmph, you think just a few pieces of trash like you can stop me? You think if I dared toe, I would only bring so little power?" Chu Feng had not nned on revealing those forces, but now that the people from the Wandering Spirits Organization had appeared, he had to let those forces take action as well.


    If today was to be the day topletely settle the score with the Ye Family, then he must go all in.


    Otherwise, missing today''s opportunity, Chu Feng had a feeling that the Ye Family was no longer within his control.


    p, p!


    Chu Feng lightly pped his hands in the air, and from outside the Ye Family''s walls, a group of warriors wearing veils and with samurai swords at their waists appeared instantaneously, several dozens of them.


    The Ye Family Courtyard was originally very spacious, but as several waves of people appeared, the yard felt somewhat cramped.


    "Japanese ck Clothes Society''s martial experts? Son of a bitch, you actually collude with the Japanese dogs to strike at the Ye Family? Do you have no shame at all?" Niu Er, seeing those Japanese dogs appear, was immediately enraged, "Scum, have you forgotten how the Japanese dogs ran wild on our Great Xia soil? And you colluded with them? If I don''t kill you today, I''ll take your name!"


    Chu Feng didn''t care in the slightest about Niu Er''s cursing, "Care for face? Hmph! Can it be eaten as food?"


    "Today, the Ye Family must be destroyed!" Chu Feng coldly swept his gaze over everyone present, "I''ll give you onest chance. Except for Ye Fan and that old thing Ye Changfeng, I can let everyone else go. Just leave now, and I''ll spare your lives. Otherwise... death without mercy!"


    Yet what infuriated Chu Feng was that, as his voice fell, not a single person from the town showed any intention of leaving; everyone''s gaze that stared at Chu Feng was filled with an eagerness to devour him alive.


    "Take action!"


    Chu Feng gritted his teeth, issuing themand to fight to his subordinates, as well as the experts from the Japanese ck Clothes Society.


    On the ck Clothes Society''s side, the leading captain approached Chu Feng and said coldly, "Captain Chu, we act together today. Don''t forget our agreement afterward!"


    "Kill!" On the Ye Family''s side, all the martial arts masters, under the call of Leng Feng, also waved their battle sabers, ready to face the enemy.


    But at the critical moment, Ye Fan whispered to his grandfather, "Have everyone retreat to the underground chamber! Today, I intend to go on a killing spree!" Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin


    Ye Fan had been patient for a long time, and Chu Feng should be considered the first high-level enemy to make a move against the Ye Family.


    What was most hateful was that Chu Feng had even colluded with the Japanese dogs, which made him even more detestable. Ye Fan had not intended to leave Chu Feng alive in the first ce, and now, he was even less likely to let Chu Feng and the others off.


    A group of Martial Venerables and grandmaster-level martial arts experts was nothing more than that. With Ye Fan''s Martial Emperor Level strength, he could easily crush them with one hand.


    "Everyone, follow mymand! Retreat!" Ye Changfeng suddenly issued an order that baffled all the guards and martial arts masters of the Ye Family.


    The experts from the Wandering Spirits Organization were also somewhat stunned!


    What was Old Master Ye doing?


    The experts of the Ye Family, whenbined with people from the Wandering Spirits, might not be without a fighting chance. So why suddenly retreat?


    All the guards and masters of the Ye Family, well-trained as they were, followed Elder Ye''s order without understanding the reason, and they instantly began to fall back.


    Ye Changfeng called out to Niu Er and others, "Gentlemen, retreat with me! The matter outside... there are ways to deal with it!"


    All of them immediately fell back to the entrance of the inner chamber, but Ye Fan and his Four Great Maids seemed to stay outside, as if they had no intention of going in.


    Niu Er and the others hade to check because they had sensed a powerful surge of energy. Seeing the scene before them, their eyes lit up!


    Is the Young Master about to make his move?

 Chapter 76 Yes, I am of Martial Emperor strength, I have been waiting for you for a long time!

    While observing from the base, they had already determined that the intensity of the martial breath fluctuation of the Ye Corporation was at least at the Martial Emperor level!


    The Young Master, being the direct lineage of the owner, must be incredibly strong!


    "Go! Retreat!"


    Elder Ye was so confident in having the Young Master stay outside; he must have known something!


    Although the Young Master imed to be a simpleton to the outside world, let''s not forget, his monstrous talent five years ago was heaven-defying.


    All of a sudden, everyone retreated, leaving the martial arts experts preparing to act on Chu Feng''s side somewhat dumbfounded.


    They were ready to give it their all and, just when they were about to make a move, they found that their opponents had vanished��what was there left to fight for?


    "Captain, this..." Chu Feng''s subordinates, looking in the direction where Ye Changfeng and others had left, were full of confusion.


    What the hell was the Ye Family up to?


    If you''re nning to retreatpletely, shouldn''t you take Ye Fan away too?


    What''s the meaning of leaving Ye Fan here?


    "Ha, ha! Idiot, your grandfather has withdrawn but left you behind; is he nning to use you as a pawn? Does it hurt? Let me help you find release," Chu Feng, squinting his eyes and intently staring at Ye Fan, said, "just like dealing with your older brother, I''ll cut him into pieces slowly with a knife!"


    With a wave of his hand, several of Chu Feng''s men began to surround Ye Fan from eight directions.


    By Ye Fan''s side, the Four Great Maids'' martial breath began to surge wildly, ready to fight at any moment.


    Ye Fan calmly patted each of the maids on the shoulders, "You don''t need to be nervous. I''ve had you stay here to deal with the aftermath!"


    "Yes! Young Master!"


    Although the Four Great Maids had not truly witnessed Ye Fan''s strength, they were aware of his incredible martial arts talent from five years ago.


    Moreover, they had personally heard Ye Fan confess that his strength had reached the Martial Emperor level in the basement just a while ago.


    With such strength, cleaning up the scene was an easy feat!


    Huh?


    Hearing Ye Fan speak so calmly and artictely, Chu Feng was stunned for a moment. His gaze sharply turned towards Ye Fan, "You''re not an idiot? Have you been pretending to be one?"


    Chu Feng watched Ye Fan warily, suddenly having an ominous premonition.


    "So, dealing with the Li Family, Wang Family, Zhao Family, and Liu Qingyang��all these matters were secretly orchestrated by you?" Chu Feng''s mind worked rapidly, and he figured out all the events in an instant.


    Chu Feng had suspected why it was so difficult for the Zhao, Wang, and Li Families to join forces against a single Su Family. Not only did they achieve no results, but they also ended up destroying themselves!


    Although the Ye Family seemed on the brink of demise, there appeared to be a powerful force behind them, pushing all events in a direction favorable for the Ye Family.


    And why would Lei Qianjue, Provincial City''s Xia Family, the Guo Family, and Elder Pang from the Nether Group willingly stand up for the Ye Family? For what reason?


    At that moment, Chu Feng seemed to have understood everything!


    If the idiotic Young Master of the Ye Family, with his monstrous talent, had awakened and his strength increased once more, then Ye Fan alone would have the potential to surpass all the other Ye Family disciples!


    Any super power would not miss the opportunity to cling to such a golden thigh.


    They would take that bet even at the risk of their family''s fate.


    Everyone had been deceived by Ye Fan!


    But if Ye Fan had pretended for so long, why would he reveal himself now, in front of Chu Feng?


    Unless...


    In an instant, Chu Feng thought of the only possibility��unless Ye Fan already had absolute confidence that no one present could speak of what they saw.


    Only dead men!


    Can never speak!


    With this thought in mind, Chu Feng''s first reaction was to pull out themunication device he carried and immediately transmit the message.


    Ye Fan has awakened!


    This was undoubtedly an explosive piece of news, and it was imperative to inform Elder Zhang and those behind him. Otherwise, they would definitely y Ye Fan to his death!


    But what Chu Feng had not anticipated was the moment he reached out to grab his walkie-talkie, it, along with every othermunication device on him, started to float up, controlled by a powerful Qi Force.


    Not just Chu Feng''s, but also those carried by his subordinates and all the Dongying experts��in short, every mobile andmunication device��were controlled by a formidable Martial Breath, lifting off their bodies and levitating in the air.


    Pffft! Pffft!


    With a strong surge of Qi Impact, those mobile phones and earpieces instantly exploded into dust!


    Ye Fan now possessed the strength of Martial Emperor Level; he could clearly hear the movement of ants within a five-hundred-meter radius, so naturally, he had full control over these experts'' mobile phones and othermunication tools.


    And in a mere thought, allmunication devices were destroyed.


    "You... You''ve broken through to the Martial Emperor Level? My goodness..." Staring at the scene before him, Chu Feng suddenly realized a terrifying oue.


    Ye Fan could simultaneously use Martial Breath to destroy so many phones so precisely.


    This kind of spiritual power, and the control over Martial Breath, could only be achieved at the Martial Emperor Level.


    "I..." Chu Feng''s face turned ashen, his body staggered involuntarily, almost falling to the ground.


    He had thought he had reached the Peak of Martial Venerable and could crush Ye Fan easily.


    Yet Ye Fan''s strength had long surpassed his by several realms; he was an existence that not even ten of him could defeat.


    "That''s right, I possess the strength of Martial Emperor!" Ye Fan took a step forward, staring coldly at Chu Feng, "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you have finally arrived!"


    With every step Ye Fan took, an invisible pressure, heavy as Mount Tai, seemed to deform the air itself, making Chu Feng''s breathing turnborious.


    The air seemed to be gripped by a huge hand, tightening around his throat, causing his breathing to grow rapid.


    At that moment, Chu Feng finally understood. Today''s situation seemed as if they were plotting against the Ye Family, but in reality, Ye Fan had nned everything,ying a trap and just waiting for him to walk into it.


    Today, be it himself or Elder Zhang, no matter who came, there was no road back.


    They were left with but one path��a path to death!


    "How dare you! A fool dares to create havoc here, I''ll kill you!"


    Not far from Chu Feng, two furious Grandmasters saw Chu Feng frightened to the point of speechlessness and, somewhat incredulous, they scolded loudly while swinging their battle sabers in a frenzy towards Ye Fan''s chest.


    A muscle in Ye Fan''s face twitched, and with a mere nce at the two Grandmasters, a wave of Martial Breath fluctuated from his body!


    In an instant, the air seemed to form an invisible wall, firmly blocking the two Martial Arts Grandmasters in mid-air.


    Crack! Crack!


    The battle sabers in the hands of the two Grandmasters shattered, piece by piece, falling to the ground... and simultaneously, the mighty Martial Breath surged towards their arms...


    Arms, chest, abdomen!


    Pffft! Pffft!


    Boom! Boom!


    Following the sound reminiscent of slicing a watermelon, the bodies of the two Grandmasters burst instantly, turning into a mist of blood that dissipated with the wind...

 Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand!

    ```


    Hiss!


    This scene immediately made everyone at the scene''s pupils dte in shock!


    Is this the terrifying aspect of a Martial Emperor expert?


    Ye Fan hadn''t even seemed to move, yet the two Grandmasters hadn''t even touched his sleeve before they burst open and died? Death came so swiftly for them?


    What''s the point of fighting then?


    "Damn it! Retreat!"


    The Japanese Dogs were the first to react, realizing something was amiss and immediately thinking of leaving.


    Under the captain''s signal, dozens of Dongying martial arts experts wished they had two more legs as they frantically scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.


    But from the moment Ye Fan revealed himself in front of them, they never stood a chance to survive. How could Ye Fan let any of them leave this ce?


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    Ye Fan moved, his Teleportation Trait activated, his body like a ghost, casting countless phantoms as he swiftly weaved through the midst of those Japanese Dogs.


    From a bird''s-eye view, it appeared as though a fleeting shadow was continuously darting among the scattered Dongying martial arts experts.


    Thud, thud, thud!


    In just a few seconds, the bodies of those Japanese Dogs trying to escape all stiffened on the spot, then a huge gash appeared on their chests, and blood started to spray wildly.


    Vitality Force rapidly draining, Martial Power disappearing, the Japanese Dogs hadn''t even grasped what had happened before they all fell to the ground, their bodies twitching a few times before going still.


    Dozens of Japanese Dogs, including at least five grandmaster level experts, had not even gotten a clear view of Ye Fan''s face before being in by him in just a few seconds.


    Thest remaining member, a captain of the ck Clothes Society, looked around in terror, his battle saber ttering to the ground involuntarily.


    "No, please... don''t..."


    As the strongest martial arts organization within Dongying, the members of the ck Clothes Society had undergone devilish training and possessed an extraordinary will to fight.


    But at that moment, Wu Teng, the captain of the ck Clothes Society, instantly lost any desire to fight,cking even the courage tomit suicide or flee.


    How could he escape?


    His side, abat squadron, was one of the five forces that had infiltrated the Great Xia Realm, and now they had beenpletely annihted without achieving anything!


    Martial Emperor, ah!


    All resistance was in vain!


    Bang!


    Ye Fan stepped forward, his fistnding a dull blow to Wu Teng''s chest. Wu Teng spat blood violently before fainting.


    Ye Fan stared coldly at Wu Teng. These Dongying experts had so many martial arts experts infiltrated within the Great Xia Realm, what were they up to?


    Before Wu Teng died, Ye Fan naturally wanted to get some information from his mouth first.


    After tossing Wu Teng to the ground like a dead dog, Ye Fan stepped towards Chu Feng.


    "Ye Fan... you..." Chu Feng instinctively wanted to move his body but found his legs heavy as lead, unable to budge an inch.


    Feeling the pressure like that of Mount Tai, Chu Feng knew that if he fell into Ye Fan''s hands, he would be better off dead!


    Thinking this, Chu Feng''s eyes shed with ruthlessness as he attempted to activate his Martial Arts Qi to end his own life.


    However, to Ye Fan, who was on the Martial Emperor level, Chu Feng, a Martial Venerable Level expert, was garbage. Ye Fan merely moved his finger, and a stream of Martial Arts Qi surged out, easily sealing all of Chu Feng''s major acupoints. Chu Feng stiffened, helplessly watching Ye Fan approach step by step.


    Chu Feng still had onest trick, intending to bite down on the poison hidden in his teeth.


    But, evidently, Ye Fan was sharper, and before Chu Feng could even move his mouth, a surge of Qi Force shot out, yanking out Chu Feng''s four big teeth along with the poison capsules hidden behind them.


    ```


    Seeing such a situation, Chu Feng was utterly despondent.


    In front of a Martial Emperor expert, did he not even have the right to die?


    "You... what exactly do you want to do?" Chu Feng looked at Ye Fan, realizing that he could not escape, he actually became much calmer.


    Since he started to make moves against the Ye Family, Chu Feng knew that taking down the Ye Family would definitely not be as simple as he had imagined.


    Moreover, when he came from the Northwestern region to Cloud City, although Elder Zhang didn''t say it, Chu Feng was not foolish; he knew he was being used as a pawn, Elder Zhang was using him to probe the way!


    Chu Feng''s end was mostly likely going to be not good.


    But, as the saying goes, a knight dies for his confidant. Chu Feng, knowing his fate and ending, still did not hesitate and brought his men toe!


    Ye Fan also didn''t hesitate, not nning to deal with Chu Feng by normal means at all.


    This level of expert had been deeply brainwashed. Normal interrogation methods were absolutely ineffective.


    "Have you ever heard of the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand?" Ye Fan stepped forward and stared fiercely at Chu Feng. Just one sentence turned Chu Feng''s face pale, "Ah... you... you actually know such an evil method, don''t... don''t touch me..."


    Rejection was written all over Chu Feng''s face.


    As a core member of the legitimate line close to Elder Zhang, he had naturally heard of the special cultivation technique called Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand.


    It was said that by using the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand, one could destroy and control the target''s thoughts from the mental level, could dissolve the target''s willpower, and expose all secrets.


    Those from Elder Zhang''s side had always wanted to acquire the cultivation form for the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand but had never been sessful.


    And now, with Ye Fan mentioning this matter, it was very obvious that Ye Fan most likely knew this technique!


    Bang!


    Ye Fan paid no attention to Chu Feng''s resistance. A streak of light appeared over his wrist, and he ced his palm on Chu Feng''s head. As the light entered Chu Feng''s brain, Chu Feng began to struggle violently, "It hurts... stop, it''s so painful..."


    Chu Feng''s veins were bulging all over his body, but his resistance was apparently not enough. Within a few seconds, Chu Feng quieted down. His eyes were still open, but his expression was scattered.


    "Speak! Who do you serve, and who exactly sent you?" Ye Fan red coldly at Chu Feng, a hint of ruthlessness shing in his eyes.


    Ye Fan had been ying dumb for so long to wait for the arrival of a big figure.


    And now that Chu Feng was a Martial Venerable level expert, Ye Fan believed he was getting closer to the truth.


    The big fish targeting the Ye Family were about to surface.


    "It''s Northwestern Elder Zhang... It''s Elder Zhang who wants to take down the Ye Family... All assassination operations against the Ye Family''s members were part of the ns Elder Zhang participated in, and the main operations in the Northwestern region were his responsibility..."


    Chu Feng, whose soul was controlled by Ye Fan, instinctively spilled many secrets.


    Elder Zhang?


    Ye Fan''s brows furrowed deeply. Was this the same Elder Zhang, one of the Nine Great Elders of Great Xia?


    Mainly in charge of the Northwestern military''s affairs... Going against the Ye Family, just by unraveling a corner of the secret, it already involved such a powerful figure?


    From Chu Feng''s tone, Ye Fan discerned that Elder Zhang was only part of the n, not the ultimate helmsman!


    There was another boss behind Elder Zhang!


    Who could that be?


    Above Elder Zhang, the only ones more formidable were the Great Xia Royal Family.


    Could it be that the Great Xia Royal Family wanted to make a move against the Ye Family?


    Hmph!


    If that''s the case, Ye Fan wouldn''t mind giving Great Xia a change of scenery...

 Chapter 78 Singing Huanghuang, Scapegoat!

    Ye Fan once again pressed Chu Feng for answers, originally hoping to extract information about the person behind Elder Zhang from Chu Feng''s mouth!


    However, Chu Feng seemed indeed ignorant, blood streaming from his seven orifices, and eventually, the mental pressure seemed too much, causing him topletely copse and faint, yielding no other useful information.


    Nevertheless, it was clear from Chu Feng that Elder Zhang was indeed a big fish in the scheme, and this piece of information was already sufficient!


    Now that Elder Zhang had shown himself, Ye Fan certainly wouldn''t spare him to celebrate the New Year.


    With the crucial clue unraveled, beginning with Elder Zhang, none of the big yers behind him would get away.


    "Kill them all!" Ye Fan ordered the Four Great Maids by his side to deal with Chu Feng''s subordinates, who had been scared witless, while he himself approached the captain of the ck Clothes Society, Wu Teng, and also employed the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand to interrogate the Japanese Dog about their ns.


    Without interrogation, nothing was known, but upon questioning, it turned out that the Japanese Dogs had infiltrated Great Xia with five such powerful forces, aiming to assassinate high-ranking officials of Great Xia, attack the geniuses and important figures of Great Xia, and create chaos.


    Ye Fan immediately thought of Yu Linglong!


    His beloved wife, charging at the Southeastern Frontline, with only Grandmaster Peak strength, could be in trouble if she encountered these Dongying elite squads.


    He needed to find a way to warn her! Ideally, he should think of a way to help Yu Linglong increase her strength!


    The fastest method Ye Fan had at his disposal to help increase strength was to have "intimate" contact with Yu Linglong, allowing his own warm current to nourish Yu Linglong!


    ...


    Inside the Ye Family secret chamber, Ye Changfeng had everyone withdraw into the chamber.


    This move, which was made without their knowledge, left Leng Feng and others terribly anxious. "Elder Ye, why have you left Young Master Ye and the Four Great Maids outside? The Young Master hasn''t awakened yet!"


    "Indeed! Elder Ye, the Young Master is the Ye Family''sst hope; nothing untoward must happen to him!"


    The direct-lineage force of the Ye Family was genuinely concerned for Ye Fan''s safety.


    In fact, not just them, even Ye Changfeng himself was very worried, and had it not been for witnessing Ye Fan''s arrangements, he would not have decisively allowed Ye Fan to face those people alone outside.


    Niu Er and others from Wandering Soul, having monitored Ye Fan''s strength in advance, were slightly more at ease. Thinking about why Elder Ye An had brought so many people into the secret chamber, Niu Er quickly figured it out.


    Was the Young Master pretending to be foolish, and then nning to take action personally, but without revealing his true strength? Therefore, he intentionally had people withdrawn to create an opportunity for himself to act?


    Having realized this, Niu Er hurriedly spoke up, "Everyone, rest assured, our Wandering Soul has other experts stationed outside! Their strength might have reached the Martial Emperor level, and they won''t let anything happen to the Young Master!"


    "Moreover, you must have faith in Young Master Ye''s abilities! Before the car ident, Young Master Ye was such a monstrous talent, already at grandmaster level in strength! Five years have passed, perhaps Young Master Ye''s strength has already broken through? Divine Doctor Lei has said that Young Master Ye will soon awaken, and maybe if he participates in more battles, he could awaken faster, right?"


    As Niu Er suddenly spoke up, he immediately eased the awkwardness for Ye Changfeng.


    Lei Qianjue by Ye Changfeng''s side quickly responded, "Exactly, exactly! ording to this old man''s estimation, Young Master Ye should have already recovered his Martial Arts strength. Elder Ye An allowing Ye Fan outside is also attempting to test Young Master Ye''s strength ... Besides, with the experts from Wandering Soul standing guard outside, there won''t be any trouble!"

    Their back and forth smoothed things over.


    Yet Leng Feng and the others always felt something strange!


    Although everyone was in the underground secret chamber, after Ye Fan concluded the fight, he could hear the conversations inside the secret chamber loud and clear.


    With Niu Er chiming in like that, iming that it was the work of Wandering Soul who took care of Chu Feng''s assassination squad, the incident could be conveniently covered up.


    After the Four Great Maids had nearly finished cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Fan knocked on the door of the secret chamber and reverted to his foolish demeanor, "So many people have died, such a formidable old man..."


    Ye Fan showed a visage of shock in front of everyone.


    Yet, as he spoke, his gaze turned to Niu Er.


    That profound look, those piercing eyes, how did they resemble someone foolish?


    The Young Master is truly brilliant!


    After enduring in hiding for so many years, now he strikes with the strength at the Martial Emperor level.


    Clearly, it was the Young Master who killed Chu Feng and his entourage, yet someone else must take the fall, enabling the Young Master to continue ying the fool, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!


    "Ah... right, it must have been Elder Wu from our Wandering Soul who made the move, I knew it, those trash couldn''t pose a threat to the Ye Family..."


    Everyone came out of the secret chamber and looked around the Ye Family Courtyard.


    Besides the blood-stained aroma still lingering in the air, everything seemed normal, as if Chu Feng and his people had never been here.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Chu Feng and his people had perished, Ye Fan wouldn''t be standing here so unharmed and unperturbed.


    Was it really a Wandering Soul expert who killed Chu Feng and the others?


    But why would they avoid the witnesses of the Ye Family?


    Although the Ye Family''s Direct Lineage Force had their doubts, given the current situation, everyone tactfully refrained from asking too many questions. However, the way people looked at Ye Fan was filled with curiosity �C perhaps, this young lord had already changed from before!


    Niu Er came today specifically to meet Ye Fan.


    Now that the Ye Family''s crisis had been averted, Niu Er bowed to Elder Ye, "Elder Ye, I wish to speak with Young Master Ye alone for a moment, if you deem it appropriate..."


    Ye Changfeng nced at Ye Fan, "Come with me!"


    Ye Changfeng led Niu Er and Ye Fan back into the secret chamber, and after the door was closed, Niu Er knelt down respectfully before Ye Fan, "Subordinate, captain of the Wandering Soul''s 38th team, Niu Er, greets the Young Master. Please forgive us, Young Master, for only confirming your presence after such a long time!"


    "Captain Niu, what exactly is going on? Our Ye Family doesn''t usually have much to do with Wandering Soul, why do you refer to Ye Fan as Young Master? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Ye Changfeng asked, seeing that Ye Fan hadn''t spoken up to address the concern in his heart.


    "Elder Ye... This is the token our master entrusted to us before he left, saying that the Young Master would naturally believe us upon seeing this item," Niu Er said, while taking out a Jade Pendant Piece from his clothes and handing it over to Ye Changfeng.


    Seeing the Jade Pendant Fragment, Ye Changfeng''splexion changed, "Xiao Zhu''s Jade Pendant Fragment? How did it end up in your hands?"


    As Ye Changfeng was shocked, he pulled out another half of the Jade Pendant Fragment from his clothes. When the two pieces were joined together, they fitted perfectly, forming aplete Jade Pendant!


    "I don''t know the details. Thest time we saw our master, he gave us this item, instructing us to ensure that Wandering Soul''s legacy is passed on to the Young Master..."


    Ye Changfeng nodded, then turned to Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, this is true! It was indeed your mother''s arrangement... It seems that besides the force of the Ye Family, your mother had prepared other contingencies!"

 Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Kill Them All!

    After receiving his grandfather''s affirmative reply, Ye Fan then spoke indifferently, "Get up."


    Ye Fan had heard of the powerful force of Wandering Soul before!


    Now, aside from the heritage of the mysterious Tianji Pavilion within the dragon-patterned ring, he had yet another great support at his side.


    With this, he gained more confidence in dealing with the enemies of the Ye Family.


    "There aren''t many people who know about my awakening as of now, you''re one of them! For the sake of my subsequent n, my identity must not be revealed for now, understand?" Although Niu Er had mostly grasped his ns, Ye Fan still felt the need to reiterate this point.


    "Yes! I will keep it strictly confidential... If there are any matters that the Ye Family cannot handle openly, you can trust Wandering Soul to take care of them! Our dean has said that the Young Master can fully trust Wandering Soul!" Niu Er responded respectfully. "The dean has almost finished handling things in the Capital, and he wille to meet the Young Master in person in a few days. When it is convenient for the Young Master, we canplete the handover ceremony."


    "There''s no rush on that! However, speaking of matters that need attention, there is indeed something that requires your action... During my interrogation of Chu Feng, I discovered someone!" While speaking, Ye Fan turned to look at his grandfather. "The person behind Chu Feng is Elder Zhang, who is in charge of the military affairs in the Northwest... My brother''s downfall was their direct handiwork, but judging from Chu Feng''s words, there seems to be someone else behind Elder Zhang directing their actions..."


    "I suspect there is a shadow of the royal family behind Elder Zhang, and this is something you Wandering Soul should investigate. We need a definite result as soon as possible!"


    Ye Changfeng let out a long sigh. "It is indeed him! s... it doesn''t really matter whether we investigate or not... There are only so few at the top echelons of Great Xia''s power, everyone is clear about who wants to move against the Ye Family!"


    It''s just that I didn''t expect them to go to such extremes, and to do so secretly! Overnight, they managed to y all ten core descendants of my Ye Family!" Ye Changfeng''s eyes reddened with anger, "They really showed no regard for past feelings! I was prepared to ept my fate, but now... with our grandfather-grandson duo working together, let''s make them pay for their blood debts with their own blood!"


    "Alright!"


    "Wandering Soul will spare no cost to fully support the Young Master!"


    "However, dealing with Elder Zhang needs to be systematically nned! At the moment, most of their pawns in Cloud City have been dealt with. Next, we shall destroy all their arrangements in Tiannan Province, rendering them powerless to harm Qing Xue, Linglong, and the other girls. After that, we will strike at their main stronghold with all our might!"


    Ye Fan agreed with his grandfather''s proposal, "My seven sisters-inw have made such huge sacrifices for the Ye Family! I will use all the power at my disposal to make their families into the top powerful households of Great Xia!"


    "However, to the outside world, I am still that fool. Grandfather, as long as you know what''s going on, that''s enough!"


    ...


    When the group emerged from the secret room, Ye Fan once again reverted to his idiotic demeanor!


    The day was gettingte, and the affairs of Yixue Company were almost settled. Su Yixue, who had been constantly thinking about Ye Fan, personally drove over to pick him up and take him home.


    "Xiao Fan, thank you!" In the car, Su Yixue, while driving, looked at Ye Fan with a face full of gratitude.


    If it hadn''t been for Ye Fan''s thorough arrangements, it''s hard to imagine what would have be of the Su Family today��probably they might have really been acquired by the Li Family for millions!


    "Yixue wife, you''re my wife, and you''re going to bear me a big baby boy, we don''t need thanks between us!" Ye Fan looked at the stunning beauty beside him, his heart feeling tender waves.


    This exquisite girl decided to marry him during the Ye Family''s most difficult time.


    All enemies of the Ye Family must be wiped clean, he must protect these girls, only then would he be worthy of their affection for him.


    "Xiao Fan... have you woken up? Are you all right?" Su Yixue heard Ye Fan''s clear-headed words and looked at him full of anticipation.


    "Wife, what are you talking about?" Ye Fan knew Su Yixue was eager to confirm his condition, but his current status had already been exposed to many people. If he continued to reveal more, his subsequent ns would be jeopardized.


    So, Ye Fan still nned to keep the truth from Su Yixue!


    Moreover, another important aspect was that Ye Fan still hadn''t decided how to face these sisters-inw of his.


    If he was awake now, then what about the other six wives, would they marry him or not?


    ...


    Chu Feng, together with so many experts, struck the Ye Family in Cloud City and even united with those Martial Arts Experts from Dongying!


    Their action ns were very secretive, but for those with keen interest, their eyes were always watching here!


    In the Northwest, within a certain courtyard!


    Elder Zhang tapped his fingertips on the table anxiously, watching the sky gradually growing dim, and furrowed his brows, "What''s the matter? Is there still no news from Cloud City?"


    Chu Feng, his personally trained right-hand man whose strength was above the Martial Venerable Level, was assigned to deal with the nearly crumbling Ye Family.


    There shouldn''t be any issues, and besides, it''s been almost a day whether it was a sess or failure, there should have been news by now, right?


    "Elder, we still have no news! Furthermore, we can''t get in contact with Captain Chu Feng... The spies we dispatched, I don''t know what happened, but they have all lost contact..." Elder Zhang''s assistant, looking at the constantly updating messages on the tablet, was starting to get panicked.


    To deal with the Ye Family, they had positioned the Li, Wang, and Zhao Families, three Vassal Families, in Cloud City, and had also arranged many spies.


    The Zhao, Wang, and Li Families had already been mysteriously destroyed, but now, the spies they had ced were disappearing one after another as soon as they were exposed and could no longer be contacted.


    "Thest message came in the afternoon, they reported seeing Captain Chu Feng arranging people to enter the Ye Family Courtyard, but at the same time, they saw Wandering Soul''s experts heading to the Ye Family Courtyard..."


    "What? Wandering Soul got involved with Ye Family''s matters too? Weren''t they neutral? This is bad... trouble is brewing..." Elder Zhang''s face went pale the moment he heard that Wandering Soul had also entered the Ye Family Courtyard.


    And sure enough, the next moment, news finally arrived from Cloud City!


    "Elder..." the assistant''s voice was shaking, "There''s news from Cloud City. Captain Chu Feng and all of his men have been annihted. It is said that Elder Wu from Wandering Soul intervened, a Martial Emperor Level expert. They silenced everyone, no one survived..."


    "Ah! Damn it!"


    Elder Zhang, enraged, swept the teacup off his desk and cursed, "What are those bastards from Wandering Soul trying to do? Damn... What kind of methods did the Ye Family use to actually get Wandering Soul to make a move? This is bad..."

 Chapter 80: Chapter 80 A Single Stone Causes a Thousand Ripples!

    "If we can''t finish off the Ye Family this time, it''s going to be troublesome topletely eradicate themter!"


    Elder Zhang was extremely annoyed!


    Moreover, what worried Elder Zhang even more was the total annihtion of everyone Chu Feng had led. Could they really all have perished so cleanly?


    Even if Wandering Soul had taken action, didn''t Chu Feng arrange for some people on the outside to support them?


    Nearly a hundred experts, so many grandmasters, and not a single one survived? It''s very abnormal!


    Besides, although Chu Feng was indeed loyal, if Chu Feng were to loosen his lips and expose himself, then his own identity would be revealed, implicating those true bigwigs behind him, and the whole Great Xia would be shaken.


    If the Ye Familyunched a full-scale counterattack and the Tianlong Army started to be restless, then things would spiral out of control!


    "What do we do now?" The assistant was also somewhat panicked. Wandering Soul siding with the Ye Family was a very strong signal.


    The Nether Group had already taken sides, plus the influence of Wandering Soul and Lei Qianjue meddling, many forces that initially looked down on the Ye Family would probably support them.


    "Keep taking action! Immediately arrange for several other families in the Provincial City toprehensively suppress the Su Corporation... The Ye Family and their people must not get a break; if they do, we won''t be able to!"

    Elder Zhang looked somewhat unsettled, "Also, arrange for our people to thoroughly test Ye Fan. I need to know if that fool is really stupid or just pretending!"


    Elder Zhang always felt that something was off!


    The Ye Family had so many incidents recently, but in the end, everything was handled very appropriately, greatly benefiting the Ye Family.


    It seemed like there was an invisible pair of hands controlling everything behind the scenes.


    Moreover, the owner of those hands was very wise and meticulous in thought.


    All this didn''t seem like something Ye Changfeng could arrange.


    But if not Ye Changfeng, then who?


    After issuing a series ofmands, the entire Southwestern Region seemed to start boiling. All families and forces associated with Elder Zhang received orders to encircle and suppress the Su Corporation and crack down on the families of the seven daughters-inw of the Ye Family.


    It was no longer a covert struggle, but an openly dered one.


    If Elder Zhang and his associates didn''t stir up some action, they would end up in a very passive position.


    After waving the assistant out of the room, Elder Zhang took out an old mobile phone and dialed an encrypted number, "Boss! There has been a change in the situation, my assistant, while dealing with the Ye Family in Cloud City, was killed by Wandering Soul... We had the news locked down for an afternoon, and we''ve only just received the message..."


    "Why is Wandering Soul joining the fray? Wasn''t it agreed that since the Ye Family was already severely weakened, there was no need to bother with just a fool and an old man? Why have you started acting again?" The voice on the other end of the phone was also surprised and annoyed.


    "Boss, the situation is moreplicated than we imagined! The Ye Family, despite being greatly weakened, has shown signs of resurgence recently... The fool of the Ye Family, he must die, otherwise he will always be a threat. Please decide, Boss!"


    "I understand, I''ll think about it! It''s best for you guys to stay put for now, don''t make too many small moves. The situation in the Southwest is veryplicated recently, and if we''re not careful, we could get dragged in and not even know how we died! And, clean up after Chu Feng''s mess properly, otherwise, if something really happens, even I can''t save you!"


    "Yes!"


    Besides Elder Zhang focusing on the situation in Cloud City, the Liu Ran Family in Flower Capital of Tiannan Province, Liu Zijian were all paying attention to the situation in Cloud City!


    After receiving news from Cloud City, the heads of the two great families had almost identical reactions.


    "What? Captain Chu Feng was actually taken out by the Wandering Soul? Not a single survivor? Damn... Does the Ye Family have such good luck? To have the Wandering Soul step in on their behalf?"


    In particr, Liu Zijian was counting on Chu Feng and his followers to eliminate Ye Fan''s entire family to avenge the death of his eldest son, Liu Qingyang, at Ye Fan''s hand.


    But now that Captain Chu Feng himself had been killed, what revenge was there to speak of?


    ording to the information Liu Zijian had, his previously least-regarded illegitimate child seemed to be gathering funds, apparently nning to make a move on the Liu Family and take them downpletely.


    "The Ye Family really has good fortune. With the Wandering Soul intervening, we''re in a bit of trouble now!"


    With the support of the Ye Family, if the Liu Family didn''t receive support from the other forces behind Chu Feng, they would simply not withstand the assault Liu Wuyang hadunched against them.


    Upon hearing the news, the Liu Family, Liu Ran, also looked distressed.


    "Damn it, how can dealing with a mere Ye Family be so troublesome? The Zhao Family, Wang Family, and Li Family have all fallen..." A deep expression shed in Liu Ran''s eyes as he turned to his son, Liu Hao, and said, "Hao''er, go to Cloud City tomorrow! Use some other methods, but be careful not toe into direct conflict with the Ye Family..."


    It wasn''t that Liu Ran wanted to make a move against the Ye Family, but after the extinguishment of the Zhao, Li, and Wang Families, it wouldn''t be long before the Ye Family traced everything back to the Liu Ran Family.


    If the Ye Family got over the shock, they would definitelyunch a full-scale attack on the Liu Ran Family.


    While the Ye Family and the Su Family were still in the stage of gathering strength, it was best to strike first!


    "Yes!" Liu Hao responded, "I remember, the Liu Family and the Su Family had signed a contract before, but we never executed it because of the Ye Family. Now, it mighte in handy!"


    Reminded by his son, Liu Ran''s eyes lit up, "Indeed, it''s not a bad method! But you have to be careful on your own, Qingyang had contracts from Xu Jian and Xu Dong and still found himself at a disadvantage! Xia Hao, Guo Li, Wang Fugui, these people are no pushovers!"


    "I know!"


    A profound look shed in Liu Hao''s eyes. In his heart, he still looked down on Ye Fan and Su Yixue.


    A fool and a minor family from Cloud City, how much of a wave could they really make?


    As long as they didn''t provoke the colossal beings from the Wandering Soul, there shouldn''t be too much trouble.


    ...


    Cloud City, Su Family Vi!


    After a night of turmoil, Su Yixue was limp in Ye Fan''s embrace, her eyes hazy as she looked at him.


    She was also curious. Wasn''t Ye Fan still in a state of imbecility? Howe he had such vigor?


    The key was that every time she was intimately close to Ye Fan, the warm flow that she received as feedback allowed Su Yixue to reap many benefits in just a few days'' time.


    Her physical constitution had improved, and Su Yixue herself had reached a Martial Arts Transforming Qi level of strength. If this continued, Su Yixue, who did not cultivate, might even be a grandmaster level expert.


    Ye Fan also noticed the change in Qi Force within Su Yixue. Embracing her, he began to think that he should find someone with decent martial arts skills to give Su Yixue some guidance!


    And it seemed Captain Niu Er from Wandering Soul was a good candidate...

 Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Shall We Pick Up a Bargain?

    Although Su Yixue was exhausted by the torments of the night, she woke up very early the next day as soon as the dawn broke!


    She had intended to get out of bed quietly, but as soon as she moved, Ye Fan opened his eyes and stared at her, making Su Yixue feel somewhat embarrassed.


    "Xiao Fan, are you awake? I have important business to attend to at thepany today. Is it okay for you to stay home and y by yourself?" Su Yixue really wanted to apany Ye Fan, but the affairs of thepany were too pressing. Now that they had the Snow Beauty Cream provided by Lei Qianjue and the channel support of the Xia Family, Su Corporation was facing a great opportunity for development.

    "Yixue, wife, I want to be with you! What are you going to be busy with?" Ye Fan''s current n was to first help Su Corporation grow before anything else, and he would do his utmost to assist with any trouble thepany faced.


    While dressing, Su Yixue let out a long sigh.


    "Sigh! Hasn''t Su Corporation already announced the miraculous effects of the Snow Beauty Cream and received so many orders? But there''s still a problem��before we can officially start producing the ointment, we need to acquire a production license from the Medical Association... However, Yu Qiang, the president of the Southwest Medical Association, doesn''t give face to anyone, not even Divine Doctor Lei''s intervention worked..."


    "The only thing he likes are antiques and calligraphy. I''m nning to go to Antique Street to buy a couple of calligraphic works and then visit Yu Qiang to see if we can expedite the production license for Su Corporation!"


    "These production license slots are in high demand. For the entire Southwestern Region, there''s said to be only one slot this year! And our rival, the Jin Family, is also actively vying for this slot! If they snatch it away, it will be a big trouble for Su Corporation. With so many orders that can''t be delivered on time, just the penalties for breach of contract would be a considerable sum!"


    Regardless of whether Ye Fan could understand or not, Su Yixue exined the whole situation to him.


    The president of the Southwest Medical Association, Yu Qiang?


    Upon hearing this name, Ye Fan felt it was somewhat familiar. After quickly racking his brains, he immediately remembered that Yu Qiang''s name was on the list of core members of Tianji Pavilion within the dragon-patterned ring.


    On the surface, Yu Qiang was the president of the Southwest Medical Association, but in reality, he was the person in charge of the Assassins'' Hall of Tianji Pavilion, with formidable strength!


    ording to the information in the dragon-patterned ring, Tianji Pavilion had been in a state of semi-dormancy ever since the Old Pavilion Master''s incident.


    For the sake of Su Corporation, Ye Fan had previously informed Pang Hai.


    So, by taking advantage of this opportunity to deliver antique paintings, he could also tap into Yu Qiang.


    After all, Ye Fan now needed more allies to fight against those who had harmed the Ye Family.


    "I want toe with you. I love those antiques and calligraphy... Yixue, wife, I have a good eye for these things. Can Ie with you, please?"


    Ever since Ye Fan activated the dragon-patterned ring, his eyes underwent some peculiar changes.


    He acquired a function simr to the Devil''s Pupil. Although iming it could see through things might be an exaggeration, when Ye Fan circted his Qi Force around his eyes, he could see things that others couldn''t.


    Last time he visited Cloud City''s underground trade market with Wang Fugui, it was by using his eyes'' special ability that he discovered the Vitality Pill wrapped inside a rock.


    "Alright! Since you want toe along, I''ll take you. But you have to behave and not run around, understand?" Su Yixue looked deeply into Ye Fan''s eyes, as Divine Doctor Lei had said, Ye Fan needed morepanionship. Visiting ces he was familiar with before might help stimte him to recover his memory more quickly.


    One of the ces Ye Fan and Wang Fugui used to enjoy visiting was Antique Street.


    Perhaps, visiting these ces might help Ye Fan recall something and regain some of his memory!


    ...


    Cloud City''s Antique Street is quite renowned throughout Great Xia!


    It''srge in scale, and there are plenty of good finds to be had.


    Although it was only around nine in the morning, the antique street was already packed with people.


    Thousands Treasure Pavilion, this was a standalone nine-story building, decorated resplendently, sticking out from the surrounding architecture.


    Su Yixue, leading Ye Fan, headed straight for this ce.


    Since they were nning to visit Yu Qiang, it was natural to bring him some fine gifts.


    However, before entering the building, Ye Fan''s gaze suddenly turned to the side where, in a small antique shop, two middle-aged men were stealthily handling a painting, as if trying to sell it to the owner.


    With the perception of someone at the Martial Emperor Level, Ye Fan could clearly sense all movement within a five hundred meter radius.


    With just a concentrated look, Ye Fan could feel the ancient aura emanating from that painting.


    That ancient painting was a good thing!


    "Hello, I''d like to see Manager Wu; I want to buy a couple of nice things from him. Could you pass on the message?" Su Yixue had been acquainted with the manager at Thousands Treasure Pavilion and had contacted Manager Wu prior to arriving.


    The receptionist must have also received a notification from the manager, and greeted Su Yixue warmly as she arrived, "President Su, Manager Wu instructed us to take you directly to the private room if you came, please follow me!"


    "Okay!"


    Su Yixue, gesturing to Ye Fan, was about to follow the receptionist into the private room.


    But at that moment, Ye Fan''s keen hearing clearly picked up that the two men in the neighboring shop were actually nning to sell the painting for a mere thousand yuan.


    ording to Ye Fan''s assessment, that painting was worth at least ten million yuan!


    To sell it for only a thousand... if he went over there, wouldn''t he be able to pick up a bargain?


    With this thought, Ye Fan turned to Su Yixue, "Yixue darling, you go ahead. I''m going to use the restroom and then I''lle to find you, okay?"


    "This..." Su Yixue hesitated. In her memory, Ye Fan was still in a cognitively impaired state. If he got lost amidst such a crowd, and with so many people keeping an eye on Ye Fan, any issue would be too much for her to handle.


    "Darling, don''t worry! I won''t run around, and I''ve grown up, I won''t have any problems!" Ye Fan stared intently at Su Yixue.


    Su Yixue pondered for a while. Judging from Ye Fan''s performance over the past few days, it seemed his intelligence hadrgely recovered. Since they were just inside Thousands Treasure Pavilion, surely nothing would go wrong?


    "Alright then!" Su Yixue, seeing the receptionist was still waiting and feeling bad for making her wait too long, said, "If anythinges up, you have to call me, okay?"


    As Su Yixue followed the receptionist into the private room, she didn''t forget to instruct some of the other reception staff, "Ladies, please help me keep an eye on my husband; his intelligence is a bit... "


    "Miss Su, rest assured and go ahead. Nothing will happen in Thousands Treasure Pavilion!"


    As soon as Su Yixue followed the receptionist into the private room, Ye Fan quickly made his way towards the restroom. After turning the corner, with a Teleportation, he was already in front of the shop next to Thousands Treasure Pavilion!


    At that time, the shop owner Ma San was in the midst of the transaction with the two men, "We agreed on this beforehand, one thousand yuan, cash on delivery, no regrets after the exchange!"


    Shop owner Ma San suppressed the excitement in his heart, despite not being sure about the authenticity of the painting.


    Even if it was a fake, it was one of the better imitations... Buying it for a thousand and flipping it to a gullible customer could easily bring in a few tens of thousands without much trouble...

 Chapter 82 Crows Everywhere Are Equally Black!

    Ye Fan, standing to the side, held his phone and quietly recorded everything happening on the scene.


    The two men, after receiving a thousand yuan, quickly left the scene, muttering as they went, "This deal''s not bad at all! Damn, bought it off an olddy for 50 yuan, flipped it for a thousand, no loss... Haha!"


    Their hearts are truly dark!


    Ye Fan sighed to himself. Since they are all heartless, Ye Fan felt no guilt about the actions he was about to take.


    No sooner had the two men left than the shop owner, Ma San, couldn''t wait to unroll the painting for another close examination.


    The painting appeared vigorous and powerful, with distinct lines and profound artistic conception, signed by Daoist Wu, an image of a tiger descending the mountains... All aspects seemed quite good!


    The only issue was that the painting looked too worn andcked aesthetic appeal.


    "What a pity, the craftsman who imitated this painting was too anxious and made it look too old, but it''s still not bad!"


    Ma San held up the painting, ready to hang it in a prominent spot in the store.


    If he encountered someone without knowledge, based on the strength of the brushwork, he could make a tidy profit without losing out.


    "Boss, I''ll take this painting for fifteen hundred," Ma San had yet to turn around when Ye Fan already appeared at the entrance of the shop, smiling at Ma San.


    Ma San was stunned. Fifteen hundred yuan?


    This young man had a sharp eye; Ma San had just bought it for a thousand yuan, and this guy was simply adding five hundred as a service fee?


    "Handsome fellow, you''re joking, right? This is an authentic piece by Daoist Wu. It cost me a hard-toe-by trading price of one million yuan! If you''re not buying, then please don''t cause a disturbance," Ma San said gravely, as if he had really spent a million, "If you''re sincere about buying, I''ll give you a fair price. Three hundred thousand, and it''s yours to take!"


    Ma San spoke with a pained expression, while his eyes fixated on Ye Fan, gauging his reaction.


    In the antique business, it''s all about sizing up the customer.


    All antique shop owners might fall short in other areas, but they are all experts at reading people.


    In uttering those words, they test your reaction. If you appear well-off and the mention of three hundred thousand doesn''t seem to faze you too much, then the owner probably won''t sell for less than that price.


    Unfortunately for Ma San, he encountered Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan had recorded the entire transaction process between Ma San and the two men, so how could he be fooled by Ma San?


    "Boss, your conscience shouldn''t be so ck. Just take the service fee. But before that, you might want to have a look at something!" Ye Fan said, moving forward with a smile, and opened the video he just recorded on his phone.


    The video clearly showed the transaction between Ma San and the two men, including the price!


    "You..." A sharp look shed in Ma San''s eyes as he stared intensely at Ye Fan, "What are you trying to do?"


    Ma San''s reputation on this street was not good to begin with, infamous for his greed!


    Although Ma San had always wanted to change his image, whenever something valuable came along, his instinct was still to take a bit more from others, and business had been slowtely.


    If the video in Ye Fan''s hands were to be exposed, Ma San could pretty much forget about doing business in Cloud City.


    "I just said, I''m here to buy the painting, for fifteen hundred. You get a five hundred service fee, and that''s not a bad deal for you," Ye Fan knew the true value of the painting. Let alone a million, even ten million wouldn''t be too much to ask.


    But Ma San was too greedy, and Ye Fan hade here to teach Ma San a lesson.


    "You... you''re ruthless!" Ma San red at Ye Fan, and behind him, several topless, burly men had gathered, looking at Ye Fan with hostility.


    But at this moment, because Ma San was disying the painting scroll, a crowd had also gathered around to watch.


    They were all there for the spectacle!


    In the antique market, what people enjoyed most was the hope of uncovering a hidden gem for themselves, or seeing someone else do so; either way, it was a joyous asion.


    "Ten thousand yuan, take the painting and let''s not say anything more!" Ma San had originally intended to have his men drive Ye Fan away.


    But with so many people around, Ma San had to consider the impact, so he could only endure and patiently haggle with Ye Fan!


    "Fifteen hundred yuan, you can think about it for ten seconds! With technology so advanced these days, if you get exposed, your loss won''t just be a few tens of thousands!" Ye Fan acted as if he had Ma San right where he wanted him, which really annoyed Ma San.


    But he couldn''t deny that Ye Fan was right.


    If Ye Fan uploaded the video online, and it just slightly fermented, then Ma San''s store could directly close down.


    "You... kid, are you looking for trouble on purpose? My boss behind the scenes is Old Wolf Wu... you better think it through, if you want to buy the painting, hand over ten thousand yuan and leave with it... otherwise, if we fall out, it''s bad for everyone..."


    Ma San leaned in close to Ye Fan, hissing in a low voice.


    Old Wolf Wu?


    Ye Fan was taken aback; he felt slightly guilty about confronting Ma San��but upon hearing that Old Wolf Wu was behind him, he immediately felt relieved.


    Old Wolf Wu was the guy who almost killed Su Yixue''s wife, he was no good thing.


    Moreover, Old Wolf Wu had already been taken care of by Xia Hao and Li Hu, and Fierce Tiger Hall had already been disbanded, yet Ma San was still unting Old Wolf Wu''s name to throw his weight around?


    "You can try it! I''ll count down from three... 3, 2, 1..." Ye Fan showed no signs of giving in and simply started to count down.


    Ye Fan''s assertiveness nearly drove Ma San mad.


    The young man before him seemed familiar to Ma San, yet he couldn''t recall where he had seen him.


    As Ye Fan counted down thest number, Ma San clenched his teeth hard, "Fine! You''re tough, you win!"


    Ye Fan was willing to gamble, but Ma San wasn''t!


    Ma San coldly stuffed the scroll into Ye Fan''s arms, "Take the money!"


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, pulled out fifteen red bills from his pocket, and handed them to Ma San, "In the future, do business with some conscience!"


    "I''ll remember you,d! Better watch your back when you walk!"


    Ma San, money in hand, walked towards the shop resentfully.


    He had nned to make a killing off this scroll, but now he had been exposed on the spot and was left earning only a tearful five hundred yuan, sigh!


    Ma San was threatening Ye Fan, who hadn''t said a word yet when suddenly a girl''s coquettish voice came from the crowd, "Handsome guy! Can you sell me that painting? I''ll offer eight million!"


    Hisss!


    The girl''s words instantly made everyone at the scene inhale sharply!


    The scroll that just sold for fifteen hundred yuan was now being bought for eight million?


    Could these two be putting on a show together?


    The crowd turned their heads to look at the girl!


    The girl was dressed in a long green dress with a yellow belt tied around her waist, revealing her slender figure; her exquisite curves disyed boundless charm!


    "Is that Ren Xueying, the daughter of the Ren Family from Provincial City?"


    "I heard that Miss Ren is also an antique expert, she must have her reasons for offering eight million!"


    "Could we really be witnessing an incredible bargain today?"

 Chapter 83: Chapter 83 The Beauty Who Saved Lives Six Years Ago!

    Ma San, who had just arrived at the shop''s entrance, staggered when he heard the price of eight million!


    He stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Ren Xueying, then spoke somewhat bewilderedly, "Beauty, you''re not joking, right?"


    If this painting is really worth eight million, you are aplete idiot!


    Great wealth was already within grasp, and then that kid forcefully snatched it away?


    "Miss, do I look like I''m joking?" Ren Xueying spoke indifferently, turning her gaze back to Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan, meanwhile, was not paying attention to Ren Xueying. He took out a bottle of mineral water and poured it over the surface of the scroll!


    Ssh!


    Everyone present was shocked.


    "Young man, what are you doing?"


    "Yeah! Thedy just offered eight million, and now you''re ruining the painting?"


    "Sigh!"


    The crowd sighed in unison, but Ren Xueying''s eyes lit up at Ye Fan''s actions.


    It seemed today she had encountered an expert!


    "Handsome, how about ten million?" Ren Xueying actually raised the bid by another two million. Such a movepletely baffled everyone.


    Clearly, Ren Xueying must have seen something; otherwise, as a member of the prominent Su Family from Flower Capital in Provincial City, she would not raise the price for no reason.


    Hiss!


    Ye Fan still didn''t speak. When the painting scroll was sufficiently moist, he activated his Qi Force, grasped one corner of the scroll, and ripped it forcefully!


    Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he actually tore off a thin film from the surface of the scroll, like ayer of adhesive paper covering it.


    And with that film removed, the true visage of the scroll underneath was immediately revealed.


    The colors were vibrant, the brushwork clear, the lines more distinct... even Daoist Wu''s seal was clearer.


    "Encapsted painting! I''ve got it, this is the legendary encapsted painting... the outeryer is a sheepskin protective film, and the inside holds the authentic work!"


    "My goodness, this is actually Daoist Wu''s authentic work! What a steal, forget ten million, even twenty million would not do it justice!"


    "Handsome! I offer fifteen million, will you sell this painting to me? Cash transaction!"


    "I bid eighteen million!" Discover hidden tales at m,v l''e-NovelBin


    ...


    The crowd at the scene instantly exploded!


    This was indeed sensational!


    A painting purchased for fifteen hundred yuan was now fetching a bid of twenty million!


    This was a profit of tens of thousands of times!


    Ye Fan''s mouth twitched slightly as the film was torn away. The ancient Qi flowing from the scroll was all absorbed by Ye Fan under the influence of his Qi Force.


    Ye Fan could clearly feel the ancient Qi being absorbed into his dantian.


    As if nourished, the flickering me therein seemed to be more vigorous, and the fire even brighter.


    It appeared that the ancient Qi from the scroll was like nutrition and fuel for the mysterious Inheritance me within his body.


    For Ye Fan, whether it was twenty million or two hundred million, although the money was indeed substantial, for him, it was just a number.


    With the Ye Corporation, the Wandering Spirits Organization, and the not yet fully disclosed Tianji Pavilion at his back, wanting money was as simple as lifting a finger for Ye Fan; it could shake an entire nation.


    Ye Fan took an interest in this painting primarily because he needed the ancient aura within the scroll.


    Now that Ye Fan had absorbed all the ancient aura from the scroll, the painting didn''t actually hold much significance for him anymore.


    However, for Ma San, losing a painting worth twenty million was more painful than being killed!


    Ma San stood dumbfounded at the door for several seconds before finally reacting. He quickly walked up to Ye Fan, grabbed his arm, and said, "Give the painting back, I''m not selling it anymore!"


    As he spoke, Ma San reached out to snatch the painting back.


    Ye Fan dodged with a swift movement of his body and said coldly, "Boss, are you trying to rob me? What do you mean? The painting has clearly already been sold, and you want to take it back? I''m afraid that''s not going to happen!"


    "Kid, don''t be ungrateful! Daring to snatch food from a tiger''s mouth, in Cloud City, not many people have the guts topete with me, Ma San, for good stuff!" Ma San stared coldly at Ye Fan and continued, "Kid, you''d better hand the painting back to me willingly, or I will make your life worse than death!"


    As Ma San spoke, his voice grew darker, and several strong men moved to surround Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan''s mouth twitched. "Boss! You seem to be confused about the situation, aren''t you? Let''s not talk about other things. Your big brother behind you, Old Wolf Wu, is already dead. You''re not unaware of this, are you? Moreover, I can tell you that I''m the one who took him down... Do you want to join him?"


    As Ye Fan spoke, a fierce killing intent surged from his body, instantly causing Ma San''s heart to tremble violently.


    Of course, Ma San knew about the trouble with Old Wolf Wu.


    However, being at his level, he only knew that Old Wolf Wu seemed to have offended the young master of the Ye Family and Su Corporation, so he was dealt with. As for the specifics, he was unclear.


    Reminded by Ye Fan, Ma San took another serious look at Ye Fan and seemed to remember who Ye Fan was?


    Isn''t this the idiot from the Ye Family?


    Why did Ye Fan look not at all foolish at this moment?


    What the hell was going on?


    "Handsome! Would you sell this painting to me for thirty million?" Ren Xueying squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Ye Fan''s arm, and gently shook it, her ample chest bumping against Ye Fan''s arm without a care, "My grandfather''s birthday ising up, and I don''t know what gift to prepare for him. Handsome, could you please fulfill my wish?"


    As Ren Xueying shook her body, the cor in front of her chest moved slightly, and the edge of her dress slipped halfway down her shoulder, revealing half of her fair skin.


    Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Ye Fan''s pupils couldn''t help but dte!


    Phoenix Pattern?


    Below Ren Xueying''s corbone, Ye Fan clearly saw a sh of a golden Phoenix pattern!


    And six years ago, when Ye Fan was on a secret mission in Provincial City, he almost died in an attack... and at that time, it was a girl who saved him!


    Back then, the night was deep, and Ye Fan never saw the girl''s face, only the golden Phoenix pattern at her neckline!


    Six yearster, toe across the girl who had saved his life again in Cloud City?


    Fate really does work in mysterious ways!


    A life-saving grace should be repaid with a pledge of one''s own life!


    But now that he already had seven wives, he might not be able to make such a promise!


    Since Ren Xueying liked the painting so much, he decided to give it to her as a gift!


    "Beauty indeed has a good heart. Since it''s like that, I''ll give you this painting as a gift!" As he spoke, Ye Fan handed the painting scroll to Ren Xueying''s hand.


    "Ah?" Ren Xueying was stunned, "Handsome, you... this..."


    The surrounding crowd also wore puzzled expressions. A painting worth thirty million, just given away like that?


    How outrageously generous!


    It''s all about the money!


    And the most frustrated person was Ma San. He was willing to spend one million to buy it back, and Ye Fan refused, only to turn around and give it to a beautiful woman for free?


    Was this done deliberately to disgust him?

 Chapter 84 Miss, Youve Fallen for Him!

    "Damn it..." Ma San wanted to curse, but when he thought of Ye Fan''s identity, the words stopped on his lips!


    Ma San greedily eyed the scroll in Ren Xueying''s hand, wanting to ask for it, but he didn''t have the courage.


    The Ye Family and the Ren Family, Ma San could afford to provoke neither of them.


    The key point was that his own big boss had fallen, and it was indeed Ye Fan who brought down Old Wolf Wu. Although Ma San swallowed a huge setback, he dared notin.


    "Boss, are we just going to let this go? That''s thirty million!"


    Ma San had already given up, but some of the bodyguards around him didn''t understand, "If we let them leave now, won''t we lose any chance to act?"


    "Bullshit! Do you think we have a chance here? Do you know who they are? One is the only young master of the Ye Family now, and the other is the Ren Family''s youngdy. Try touching a hair on their heads and see what happens!" Ma San nced around. Even though only Ye Fan and Ren Xueying appeared on the surface, he didn''t know how many strong people were secretly guarding them.


    Ma San watched as thirty million slipped right before his eyes, yet he was powerless to do anything!


    Ren Xueying looked at the scroll in her hand, still in shock, "Handsome guy, are you really just giving this to me? This is worth thirty million? Why?"


    Ren Xueying found Ye Fan''s appearance somewhat familiar and intimate but couldn''t remember where she had seen Ye Fan!


    But giving her a scroll worth thirty million right off the bat made Ren Xueying feel very ufortable!


    "Yes, I am giving it to you... because... you are a good person... and good people deserve rewards!" After that, Ye Fan turned around and nned to leave, having been away for far too long. If Su Yixue couldn''t find him, she might start to worry again.


    "Good people deserve rewards?" Ren Xueying pondered Ye Fan''s words, and seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly called out to him, "Handsome guy! Wait a moment..."


    As she spoke, Ren Xueying reached for the Jade Pendant close to her chest and prepared to hand it to Ye Fan.


    A girl in jeans beside Ren Xueying quickly said, "Miss, you... need to think twice! That Jade Pendant is what the old master gave you for your dowry!"


    Ren Xueying hesitated for a moment but still continued to hand out the Jade Pendant.


    "I don''t like owing anyone anything, this is a Jade Pendant from my family, and it should be something valuable too! I''ll give it to you..." Ren Xueying paused for a moment, her face turning a shade of shy red, "If you are free next month, you are wee to attend my grandfather''s birthday party at the Ren Family!"


    Having said that, Ren Xueying''s face was blushing all the way to her neck!


    Ye Fan held the Jade Pendant handed to him by Ren Xueying, it was still warm, carrying her body heat, and there was a slight fragrance on it, an enchanting scent.


    Looking at Ren Xueying''s bashful demeanor, Ye Fan was reminded of that night six years ago, in the dead of winter, when he was nearly killed by someone, and it was this girl who had used her own body to warm him.


    Ye Fan had always kept that act of kindness in his heart.


    At that time, he was already betrothed to Xuan Yufei!


    Now, Xuan Yufei had broken off their engagement, and seven sisters had dered they would marry him; suddenly, he had seven wives. If there was one more, it seemed it wouldn''t make much difference, would it?


    "Sure! I''ll definitelye!" Ye Fan gazed deeply at Ren Xueying, not wanting to disappoint the girls who had been kind to him.


    And just as Ye Fan prepared to look away, he suddenly noticed several ck lines intertwined on Ren Xueying''s forehead, with some blood-red color in the middle.


    Hm?


    A blood cmity?


    Ren Xueying has been cursed, recently gued by a very severe blood cmity!


    Ye Fan''s eyebrows knitted in concern. It was one thing not to have encountered it himself, but since he had, he couldn''t just stand by and do nothing!


    Ye Fan nced at Ren Xueying''s wrist, which was adorned with a bracelet. "Beauty, let me see your bracelet!"


    As he spoke, Ye Fan reached out, grabbed Ren Xueying''s wrist, took off the green bracelet, and with a fluctuation of Qi Force in his hand, rapidly carved several profound patterns onto it.


    "For the next half month, you must wear this bracelet at all times and make sure it does not get wet. It will keep you safe!"


    This was a Safety Rune Talisman. Having gained insight into the art of Seal Carving in the midst of the dragon patterns, Ye Fan had tested it many times and found the charm to be exceptionally potent.


    Before Yu Linglong left, Ye Fan had quietly carved several Rune Talismans onto her personal items, unbeknownst to her.


    He also hoped that Yu Linglong would never have the need to use them.


    "Oh! Okay!" Although Ren Xueying did not understand what Ye Fan was doing, his demeanor made it seem as if he truly cared about her.


    "Goodbye!"


    With the jade pendant in hand, Ye Fan quickly headed towards Thousands Treasure Pavilion, disappearing from Ren Xueying''s sight in the blink of an eye.


    Watching Ye Fan''s departing figure, Ren Xueying frowned slightly. As she and her maid left, she muttered to herself, "Why do I feel like that handsome guy seemed so familiar? It feels like I''ve seen him somewhere before!"


    "Giggle, Miss! You''ve fallen for him! Look at you, even giving away your personal jade pendant. You know you wear that pendant... in that spot every day..."


    "Are you asking for a spanking?" Ren Xueying''s face flushed with shyness, and while her voice maintained its yful scolding, she suddenly felt a warm current where her wrist had touched Ye Fan''s, coursing through her body!


    A warm current?


    Realizing this, Ren Xueying''s pupils contracted sharply, and she immediately thought of the young man she had met six years ago!


    That night, when she had embraced him, she too had felt so many warm currents in her body that had rapidly enhanced her Martial Arts Qi!


    "Ah? It''s him! It''s the same person from six years ago..." Realizing the truth, Ren Xueying couldn''t contain her excited squeal, "Fate is indeed miraculous! Xiao Qing, immediately find out who that handsome man was. I want all his information!"


    "Yes!" The maid by her side knew about her mistress''s encounter six years ago, and since the Miss had never interacted with any men over the years, always searching for that young man, it brought her genuine joy to see that her mistress had found her heart''s desire, "Congrattions, Miss! The one you liked then and now is the same person!"


    Ren Xueying''s face was alight with excitement, yet tinged with a hint of shyness, "Hmph! That bad guy, he must have recognized me! I knew it, why else would he give me a painting worth thirty million for no reason... How annoying..."


    Meanwhile, Ren Xueying silently hoped in her heart, You muste to Grandpa''s birthday banquet next month!


    If you do, half of my troubles will be solved!

 Chapter 85 Picking a Quarrel in Thousands Treasure Pavilion?

    When Ye Fan re-entered the Thousands Treasure Pavilion, Su Yixue and Manager Wu of the Thousands Treasure Pavilion had juste out from the inner room together!


    In Su Yixue''s hands were two wooden boxes, sensing from the outside, there were signs of antiquity fluctuating inside!


    "Manager Wu, this is too much. Such precious items, and you''re just giving them to me for free, not even asking for money, I...," Su Yixue said with a face full of gratitude as she looked at Manager Wu.


    Ye Fan realized what was happening, Manager Wu had picked out two fine items and gifted them directly to Su Yixue, not intending to ask for payment?


    From the vibrations of the antique aura, it was clear that the items Manager Wu gifted must be valuable, worth at least tens of millions probably.


    "President Su, please don''t be so formal with me! We all saw the righteous acts of President Su and Miss Yu Linglong and the others! At that time, President Su firmly supported the Ye Family, even our boss holds high respect for that!"


    As Manager Wu spoke, he saw Ye Fan''s arrival and quickly stepped forward bowing slightly, saying to Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye! Our boss asked me to convey a message, although we can''t publicly support the Ye Family, if there''s anything you need our help with, we are still willing to offer assistance! Please ept these two items as a gift for our first meeting!"


    The Thousands Treasure Pavilion was showing goodwill towards the Ye Family and the Su Family!


    Su Yixue understood that Manager Wu gave her antiques not because of her own face, but because of Ye Fan''s.


    Some of the recent events in Cloud City, despite the news being suppressed,


    with the Zhao Family, the Li Family, and the Wang Family being extinguished one after another and the heir of the Liu Family from Provincial City, as well as the Liu Family''s butler perishing in Cloud City, such news couldn''t bepletely hidden.


    Moreover, at the new drug release conference of the Su Corporation, the Divine Doctor Lei supported the Su Corporation along with other influential figures making their appearance.


    All these signs suggested that the Ye Family wasn''t as weak as everyone thought!


    Furthermore, so many mysterious forces had started to rally around the Ye Family. Those tycoons were all shrewd characters; their choices must have been based on some information that outsiders weren''t privy to, such as Ye Fan''s awakening?


    It wasn''t toote for the Thousands Treasure Pavilion to join in!


    "Thank you all! Those who help my wife are good people!" Ye Fan didn''t disy the foolishness he had been known for but responded quite normally.


    Lei Qianjue had alreadyid the groundwork by saying that Ye Fan would gradually wake up.


    Hence, it waspletely normal for Ye Fan''s intelligence to grow slowly from the level of an eight-year-old to that of a ten-year-old.


    "Manager Wu, you must know a bit about my husband''s situation... Thank you for your understanding!" Su Yixue exined to Manager Wu, but Manager Wu took a deep look at Ye Fan and said, "Don''t worry, don''t worry! Young Master Ye was a genius prodigy back in the day, given enough time, I''m sure he will return to his peak!"


    After chatting for a bit, Su Yixue was in a hurry to visit Yu Qiang, so she nned to say goodbye and leave.


    But just then, a group of people barged into the Thousands Treasure Pavilion''s building aggressively.


    "Heh, you think the Thousands Treasure Pavilion is all that? Today, I''m here to see just how good you all are. You won the appraisal contest against my brotherst time, leading to him jumping off a building and getting seriously injured. Today, you must pay the price..."


    The young man leading the group, dressed in a floral shirt, stepped towards the hall while having someone live stream the event by his side.


    "Dear viewers, look closely! This is the headquarters of the Thousands Treasure Pavilion. Today we''re here to stir things up... Let''s see if Wang Baoge has the guts to take on our challenge!"


    Seeing this group of people arrive, Manager Wu''s eyebrows furrowed, "It''s these people again, when will they ever stop!"


    "What''s going on?" Su Yixue couldn''t help but ask when she saw the situation before her.


    "They are from the Sun Family of Provincial City. Last year, during the treasure appraisal conference, our Thousands Treasure Pavilionpeted against his younger brother. In the final round, his brother misjudged the age of a vase and lost to us. He couldn''t take the defeat and jumped from the second floor, breaking his leg... Since then, the Sun Family has been targeting our Thousands Treasure Pavilion, causing trouble every now and then..."


    "At first, we didn''t take it seriously, but they''ve be increasingly excessive! Clearly, someone is backing them and stirring up trouble!"


    "The reputation of Thousands Treasure Pavilion has always suppressed their Jewelry Studio. Only by taking down Thousands Treasure Pavilion will they have a chance to rise!"


    Manager Wu''s mouth curled into a smirk, "No worries, I can handle these petty tricks with ease!"


    Manager Wu is a respected figure in the antique world of Great Xia, and he possesses genuine expertise.


    Throughout the many years he has held the fort at Thousands Treasure Pavilion, there have been few missteps.


    Having said that, Manager Wu stepped forward and greeted Young Master Sun Desheng of the Sun Family, "Young Master Sun, the treasure appraisal conferencepetitions are based on skill and ability. It has been so long since the event; can''t the Sun Family ept their loss? The eyes of theizens watching are sharp, why not let them be the judges?"


    As the longstanding overseer of Thousands Treasure Pavilion, Manager Wu had substantial skills at his disposal. He greeted theizens in front of the camera, sessfully swaying some public opinion back in his favor.


    Sun Desheng was left speechless by the rebuttal, "This..."


    Manager Wu seized the initiative and followed up on his advantage, "However, since Thousands Treasure Pavilion dares to set up shop here, we''re certainly not afraid of any challenge! Young Master Sun, since you brought people here today, let''s go big. Let''s make a bet, if I win, please stop these petty schemes from now on, and let''s have a fairpetition between our two families in the open!"


    When Sun Desheng heard Manager Wu actually ept today''s challenge, his face immediately showed a trace of delight, "Good! Manager Wu is generous! Today we''ll go big. If Thousands Treasure Pavilion wins, my Jewelry Studio will withdraw from Cloud City and stoppeting with Thousands Treasure Pavilion. But if I win, Thousands Treasure Pavilion must leave Cloud City. Do you dare?"


    Sun Desheng was very cunning, pushing Thousands Treasure Pavilion into a corner.


    Since the scale and business of Jewelry Studio were already inferior to Thousands Treasure Pavilion''s, withdrawing wasn''t a big deal for them! But it might not be so easy for Thousands Treasure Pavilion to take the plunge!


    Manager Wu frowned, looking at Sun Desheng with some indignation. Young Master Sun hade with ill intentions, directly forcing him into a corner, leaving him with no good option whether to ept or decline.


    Now the live broadcast data showed that millions were watching.


    If Manager Wu refused, the reputation and credibility of Thousands Treasure Pavilion would be immediately swept away.


    "Fine! Let''s settle it this way!" Manager Wu, although confident, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw several porcin vases being carried in by Sun Desheng''s men.


    That was because, after several nces at those vases, Manager Wu was unable momentarily to determine their ages!


    This annoyed him!


    Standing by, Su Yixue saw the situation suddenly take such a dramatic turn and was conflicted about whether to stay or go.

    "Yixue, my dear, let''s wait and see what happens! I think I''m starting to remember something," Ye Fan said with a trace of a cold smile from the moment those porcin vases were brought in.


    Sun Desheng was very sly; those vases had been tampered with, making it impossible to detect the modifications using normal appraisal methods.


    If he didn''t step in to help, Manager Wu was destined to lose today!


    Considering the two antiques that Manager Wu had given him, Ye Fan decided to intervene...

 Chapter 86 Is This a Coincidence?

    "Ah? Xiao Fan, have you remembered something? Great... then let''s have a look here!"


    Su Yixue, hearing that Ye Fan''s memory and intelligence might be recovering, immediately showed a face filled with joy, deeming all other matters insignificantpared to this!


    In the center of the hall, Sun Desheng had brought in five porcin vases, now lined up in a row on the tabletop.


    With a look of pride, Sun Desheng nced at Manager Wu. Sun Desheng hade fully prepared today; he feared not how many methods Manager Wu might have for identification but that Manager Wu would refuse the challenge, for then, aside from some verbal satisfaction, he could cause no substantial harm to Manager Wu.


    "Manager Wu, these five vases were collected from the antique market! However, their periods are currently unknown. I would like to trouble Manager Wu to help take a look... If Manager Wu can correctly identify the periods of just three of the vases, then would that not mean Manager Wu wins, how about it?"


    Sun Desheng exchanged a look with his few subordinates nearby, their eyes brimming with smugness.


    These five porcin vases were fabricated by top international craftsmen they had hired at a high price, over the course of three months.


    It isn''t quite right to call them fakes, because every piece of porcin inside is genuine.


    But it isn''t quite right to call them real either!


    Because just one vase was assembled from dozens of fragments, then expertly restored on the exterior, to the point that from the outside, one can''t tell it''s a pieced-together vase from fragments.


    In reality, within a single vase, the fragments used were taken from porcin vases of five different dynasties, then pieced together!

    No matter how skilled Manager Wu is, if he can judge the period of one piece of porcin and determine the vase''s period, Sun Desheng can immediately rebut Manager Wu with another piece of porcin!


    Therefore, from the moment Manager Wu agreed to the gamble, Thousands Treasure Pavilion had already lost!


    The challenge Sun Desheng posed was akin to ying rock, paper, scissors to determine the winner, but you must show first while he shows after, so he could always change his shape based on yours��how could you possibly win?


    As a venerable figure in the antique world, Manager Wu''s own strength was not for show.


    The moment the five vases were ced on the table, Manager Wu was closely observing and smelling the fragrance of the vases.


    But, having sniffed just one, Manager Wu''s expression changed!


    Because Manager Wu discovered the scent of the vases to be chaotic and unstable, somewhat resembling the Song Dynasty, yet also resembling the Tang Dynasty, and it even had traces of the Ming and Qing scent!


    This��


    Manager Wu was instantly stumped!


    By normal reasoning, if a vase had been restored, it would be quite normal, but it wouldn''t be pieced together using fragments from different dynasties.


    Moreover, the main issue was that Manager Wu picked up the vase, examined it thoroughly, even using a magnifying ss, and yet could see no signs of restoration whatsoever.


    The same went for the first vase, the second vase��


    After examining all five vases, which took over ten minutes, Manager Wu didn''t utter a word, daring not make any judgment.


    Manager Wu, in truth, already had a rough guess.


    The vases Sun Desheng brought this time must have been replicas made by a master craftsman, without a trace of restoration. Assembled using fragments from various dynasties, it was a trap set for him; no matter which dynasty he suggested, Sun Desheng would easily refute him.


    He had been ensnared!


    Manager Wu had already realized the problem.


    But this was a tant scheme, even if I knew their machinations, now even if Manager Wu were to reveal it in front of millions ofizens, nobody would believe me.


    "Well, Manager Wu, have you figured it out? Let us witness your extensive knowledge and exin the origins of these porcin vases to everyone!"


    Seeing that Manager Wu hadn''t spoken for a long time, Sun Desheng, with a face full of triumph, waved the vases in front of Manager Wu and purposely boasted to the live camera, "Everyone, take a good look, this is Master Wu of Thousands Treasure Pavilion appraising the five porcin vases I brought... Ah, to tell the truth, it''s quite disappointing, it seems Thousands Treasure Pavilion is nothing special after all..."


    "Everyone, don''t go, help bear witness! Remember, we had a bet just now!"


    Sun Desheng kept showing off. The staff of Thousands Treasure Pavilion all gathered around, angry but helpless, not daring toy a finger on Sun Desheng.


    "Imposter, big imposter... You''re despicable, using fake things to deceive Manager Wu..."


    Just as everyone didn''t know what to do, with Manager Wu''s forehead covered in beads of sweat, Ye Fan suddenly stepped out from the crowd and pointed at Sun Desheng''s nose and cursed loudly.


    That one sentence immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    Especially in the live stream, theizens immediately began to boil with excitement.


    "Who is this guy? How can he call Sun Shang a fraudster?"


    "I also felt something was off, I still trust Master Wu!"


    The atmosphere that had been built up with such effort was instantly disrupted, and Sun Desheng, extremely annoyed, pointed at Ye Fan and said, "Who the hell are you? What''s this got to do with you? Someone, throw him out!"


    Sun Desheng hade with the intention of taking down Thousands Treasure Pavilion, naturally not allowing anyone to ruin his ns.


    Now that Manager Wu had taken the bait, just one final step and he could drive Thousands Treasure Pavilion out of Cloud City.


    After Thousands Treasure Pavilion left, wouldn''t most of the business in Cloud City''s antique markete to his Jewelry Studio?


    Several bodyguards immediately rushed out from behind Sun Desheng, intending toy hands on Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan''s lips curled slightly. As soon as the porcin vases appeared, Ye Fan saw with crystal rity through the Devil''s Pupil that those vases were specially restored, using fragments from various dynasties. How could Manager Wu, however skilled, identify so many fragments at once?


    "No! I won''t go out, I want to expose this big fraudster!" Ye Fan said with a light smile, quickly dodging the several bodyguards'' attempts to capture him.


    The two brawny men, unable to catch even such a slim young man, felt very embarrassed, and their movements quickened even further.


    But Ye Fan saw the opportunity and, while dodging the bodyguards, sent a wave of Qi Force from his wrist, gently pushing one of the bodyguards and, spot on, knocking over one of the vases on the edge, sending it tumbling towards the floor!


    Crash!


    A sharp shattering sound, and the vase hit the ground, breaking into countless pieces.


    The sudden incident left everyone present stunned.


    With the target used for appraisal broken, especially since it was Sun Desheng''s own bodyguard who knocked over the vase, whose fault was this?


    While everyone was still astonished, Ye Fan suddenly snatched the live-streaming smartphone, aimed it at the fragments on the floor, then picked up a few pieces in his hand, feigning surprise as he eximed, "Ah! I recognize this piece, it''s a fragment from the Tang Dynasty, this one is from the Song Dynasty, and this one from the Ming Dynasty... Hey, Master Wu, how can there be fragments from so many dynasties in a single vase?"


    "Look, there''s a mysteriousyer wrapped around the outside of these fragments. Just tear it off, and you''ll discover the secret within!"


    As Ye Fan spoke, he took one of the fragments in his hand and, with a flick of Qi Force, tore off the fake outeryer. The pasted fragments beneath were immediately revealed to the live stream''sizens, as well as to Manager Wu and the onlookers at the scene...

 Chapter 87 Falling into the Hands of a Fool!

    Looking at the situation in front of him, Manager Wu couldn''t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead!


    In fact, Manager Wu had already guessed the situation with the porcin vase, which was exactly as Ye Fan had said.


    But the problem was that he couldn''t directly exin the situation himself.


    Now, with Ye Fan''s sudden appearance revealing Sun Desheng''s deceit, and Sun Desheng''s own bodyguard knocking over the table, Sun Desheng couldn''t find any fault with Thousands Treasure Pavilion at all.


    The online audience in the livestream went wild in an instant!


    "Holy shit! I knew something was off, this dirty?"


    "The Sun Family ys really dirty! I''m never buying anything from them again!"


    "Garbage! Not thinking about how to do business properly but always scheming with these venomous tactics, so disappointing!"


    Thoseizens who were just supporting Sun Desheng, the public opinion instantly began to sway overwhelmingly towards Manager Wu and Thousand Treasures Pavilion.


    "Young Master Sun, that was a bit underhanded of you!" Manager Wu''s expression started to rx, and when he looked at Ye Fan, his eyes were filled with gratitude.


    Now, Manager Wu was almost eighty percent sure that Ye Fan was not at all foolish.


    If Ye Fan were in a foolish state, would it be such a coincidence that he ran over and also just so happened to cause Sun Desheng''s bodyguard to flip the table?


    Absolutely impossible!


    "Ah..." It took Sun Desheng several seconds to react, before he realized that his mobile phone had been snatched away, "Damn it! Who the fuck are you, daring to snatch my phone? You idiots, what are you standing there for? Get the phone back!"


    Sun Desheng was almost going insane!


    There were so manyizens in the livestream witnessing the challenge today; if he failed, Jewelry Studio would have to withdraw from Cloud City.


    Moreover, once this matter ferment, even if Jewelry Studio didn''t withdraw, the already scant business would probably be negligible!


    "Who dares to touch my big brother?"


    Before Ye Fan had a chance to make a move, a roaring sound came from the crowd, and Wang Fugui''s enormous body appeared on the scene.


    Seeing the two bodyguards rushing over, Wang Fugui didn''t hesitate at all, his huge hand grabbed one with each hand, and ruthlessly smashed them together, knocking them out cold and throwing them aside.


    Thud, thud!


    Although Sun Desheng''s bodyguards were also high-level martial arts experts, Wang Fugui was already at grandmaster level, and dealing with these bodyguards was like ying a game to him.


    In the blink of an eye, all of Sun Desheng''s bodyguards were knocked out cold.


    "What... what do you want to do? You can''t win in apetition, so you n to resort to force?" Sun Desheng, knowing he was in the wrong, tried to y the pity card to turn public opinion, "Do you know who I am? I am Young Master Sun of the Provincial City Sun Family, you''d better not touch me!"


    "Haha! Then do you know who my big brother is? He is the only current Young Master Ye of the Ye Family, Ye Fan. You dare to touch him, aren''t you afraid?" Wang Fugui revealed Ye Fan''s identity, and Sun Desheng was instantly stunned.


    The fool of the Ye Family?


    Just as he had thought when he saw Ye Fan, he looked so familiar!


    Damn!


    How unlucky could he get, to have such a foole and make trouble?


    Even if he had a point, he couldn''t make it clear!


    And even if he could make it clear, approaching the Ye Family now would still be a no-win situation for the Sun Family.


    "I..."


    "Fake! They''re all fake!" When Ye Fan saw Wang Fugui, that big fool,ing, he became even more unbridled, pointing at the remaining vases and speaking to Sun Desheng.


    Having one shattered vase as proof, the rest was easy to exin.


    Manager Wu also seized the initiative, "Young Master Sun, for the remaining four, do we need to smash them open one by one to verify?"


    What those vases looked like, Sun Desheng knew all too well!


    Smashing them would be like pping his own face.


    "You... you... you guys are ruthless!" Sun Desheng knew he had been defeated today, but by the hands of a fool, no less.


    He wasn''t sure whether Ye Fan had coincidentally foiled his n, or hade to foil it on purpose!


    As he spoke, Sun Desheng tried to reach for the cellphone in Ye Fan''s hand.


    But Ye Fan would not allow it, "The bet, you just made a bet...you fraudster, if you lose, your Jewelry Studio must leave Cloud City! All of you watching, you agree, don''t you?"


    While scolding Sun Desheng, Ye Fan also made sure to address the millions of viewers in the live stream.


    Since Thousands Treasure Pavilion had chosen to help the Ye Family, Ye Fan naturally wouldn''t let them help in vain; encountering this opportunity, he would help Thousands Treasure Pavilion crush the Jewelry Studio to the extreme.


    "Right! A man should stand by his promise!"


    Continue reading on m|v-l''e -NovelBin


    "We, millions of viewers, witnessed the bet just now; don''t think about reneging!"


    The public opinion in the live stream had begun to boil. Sun Desheng was gritting his teeth in anger but was helpless because he had indeed made a bet just now.


    Although it was only a verbal agreement with no one to enforce it.


    But now is the era of the inte, and the power ofizens is incredibly strong. Sun Desheng didn''t want to admit it, but at least in terms of saving face, he had to make a statement.


    "Manager Wu, you''ve won! My Jewelry Studio will honor the bet and will leave Cloud City as soon as possible!"


    Resigned, Sun Desheng repeated hismitment in front of the camera and darkly said to Ye Fan, "Are you satisfied now?"


    Ye Fan turned to Wang Fugui and asked, "Old Wang, do you think this is eptable?"


    Wang Fugui had the potential to be a bit of a simpleton, "Empty talk is useless! In three days, this young master will bring a few bulldozers over there, and if the Jewelry Studio is still there, it means the viewers will push them over. How does that sound to everyone?"


    Wang Fugui shoved his big face toward the screen, addressing the viewers vehemently.


    That set off another uproar among the viewers in the live stream!


    "Good! Good! Good!"


    It wasn''t just the viewers in the live stream; people at the scene also started to cheer enthusiastically.


    Sun Desheng took the cellphone from Ye Fan''s hand, shamefacedly turned off the live stream, and then, along with his few subordinates, beat a hasty and clumsy retreat from the Thousands Treasure Pavilion building.


    He had been humiliated today, originally arriving full of confidence to trouble Thousands Treasure Pavilion, only to end up with the tables turned, and now his own Jewelry Studio was ruined.


    "Sun Desheng, what have you done? Didn''t you say you''d take down Thousands Treasure Pavilion today? Why are all the calls I''m receiving about terminating contracts with my Jewelry Studio...what''s going on with the live stream...ah...idiots..."


    As soon as he stepped out of Thousands Treasure Pavilion, Sun Desheng received a call from his father. "Dad...I..."


    "Get back here immediately and exin yourself! Tell me, how am I supposed to exin this to the board; they are going to kill us, you fool!"


    Sun Desheng''s ears were almost deafened by his father''s voice on the phone!


    Sighing deeply, Sun Desheng could only helplessly rush back to the Sun Family!


    Inside the Thousands Treasure Pavilion building, after Sun Desheng left, Manager Wu looked at Ye Fan with a meaningful gaze and respectfully bowed, "Young Master Ye, thank you for your help today!"

 Chapter 88: Chapter 88 The Ye Family Wants to Produce a Dragon!

    Manager Wu was extremely grateful for his actions today, having directly gifted Su Yixue with two ancient antiques!


    Although those two antiques were indeed worth over ten million, the help that Ye Fan had just provided was worth far more than ten million!


    If Thousands Treasure Pavilion truly fell for Sun Desheng''s plot today, losing its reputation and no longer being trusted by everyone, then the loss would be at least several billion!


    And if Thousands Treasure Pavilion were to copse, then the loss would be even greater, exceeding a hundred billion.


    What''s more important is that the existence of Thousands Treasure Pavilion has other significant roles that cannot be measured by money alone.


    "Manager Wu, you''re too courteous. You helped my wife, and it''s only right for me to help you in return," Ye Fan responded with a light smile.


    The logic was sound, the sentences clear, which left Su Yixue standing nearby somewhat perplexed.


    Was Ye Fan now in a clear state of mind, or still in his foolish state?


    Su Yixue was quite confused!


    But with so many people around at this moment, it was not a good time for Su Yixue to ask more.


    Before Manager Wu could speak, a staff member suddenly walked up quickly to his side and whispered in his ear, "Elder Wu, the miss said that the item can be taken out now!"


    "Yes!"


    Upon hearing his subordinate''s whispered words, a glint of sharpness shed in Manager Wu''s eyes.


    The miss was indeed astute and had also spotted Ye Fan''s potential.


    Although the Ye Family had suffered such a heavy blow, as long as Ye Fan was alive, the Ye Family''s potential future was definitely limitless.


    Now that Ye Fan had awakened, those who had acted against the Ye Family probably couldn''t sleep peacefully anymore.


    "Young Master Ye, please wait a moment! You''ve helped Thousands Treasure Pavilion so much; we must express our gratitude," Manager Wu said, striding into the back room. When he came out again, he was holding a quaint wooden box in his hands.


    "Young Master Ye, this object has been in our store for a long time! Although I have researched it for many years, I have never understood its usage. Young Master Ye is a demonic genius, and once you are fully awake, you will surely be able to put it to good use. This object will then be able to exhibit its greatest value!"


    While speaking, Manager Wu respectfully handed the box to Ye Fan.


    Manager Wu had guessed that Ye Fan had already awakened, but since Ye Fan had not revealed himself, Manager Wu decided to y along with the act.


    "Oh! Thank you, Manager Wu," Ye Fan said, releasing his Perception to sense the box, his expression bing somewhat serious.


    Ye Fan, possessing the Devil''s Pupil, could nearly see through and investigate everything. But just now, after carefully sensing the box, he suddenly realized that his spiritual power at the Martial Emperor Level could not detect what was actually inside the box.


    ```


    The object inside the box was enveloped in a mysterious aura that even Ye Fan''s current spiritual power and perception couldn''t prate.


    Fortunately, Ye Fan could sense that whatever was inside the box felt a certain affection towards him.


    When Ye Fan and Su Yixue left Thousands Treasure Pavilion, Manager Wu watched their departing figures with a hint of satisfaction on his face, "The Ye Family is about to produce a dragon! s... those who acted against the Ye Family really have too short-sighted a vision!"


    As soon as the words were spoken, Manager Wu quickly entered a secret room in the back and dialed an encrypted phone, "Miss! I''ve delivered the item you instructed... But, that is the most important thing to you, tied to the fate of our whole n, isn''t it too risky to just hand it over to Ye Fan?"


    At this moment, in an elegant courtyard within the Kunlun Mountains, a barefoot girl sitting on a rattan chair and holding a tablet watched the surveince feed while talking to Manager Wu, "Elder Wu, I trust my judgment! If Ye Fan can''t protect my n, then there''s no hope for the Ruan Family''s revival..."


    "Remember Elder Wu, now that we''ve chosen Ye Fan, we must trust him unconditionally! From now on, whatever Ye Fan needs, Thousands Treasure Pavilion has to assist at all costs! After all, he''s the man I''ve set my eyes on!"


    After hanging up with Manager Wu, the girl looked out at the lush green forest and murmured, "Ye Fan, we are destined by fate from our past lives... I hope you can wake up soon! The Ancient Martial World was always meant to have a ce for the Ye Family, and I hope you can truly rise to power... I''ve done as much as I can to help you!"


    ...


    In Cloud City, after Ye Fan and Su Yixue left the antique street!


    As Su Yixue drove, she nced at Ye Fan with some confusion, "Xiao Fan, are you clear-headed now or still in a stuporous state? I can''t even tell!"


    Calling Ye Fan a fool wasn''t fitting, as all of his actions just now seemed quite logical, even clever, making Sun Desheng feel suffocated, swallow a loss, and unable toin.


    "Yixue honey, I really don''t understand what you''re saying, but I have a feeling... My head doesn''t seem as muddled as before, and I also remembered some things, it seems like I used to be quite impressive... Most of the time, my actions are instinctive... Perhaps, I''ll be able to remember everything soon..."


    Ye Fan knew what Su Yixue was worried about; to prevent her from worrying too much, he deliberately spoke vaguely, but still gave Su Yixue some hope.


    This was also in line with what Lei Qianjue had said, that he needed time to slowly recover.


    "Ah... Xiao Fan, are you bing clearer now? That''s great! The Ye Family really needs you... If you don''t wake up soon, I don''t know if Sister Linglong and I can hold on any longer," Su Yixue said excitedly, pulling the car to the side of the road and hugging Ye Fan''s face, kissing him hard.


    Then, as if remembering something, if Ye Fan were clear-headed, her behavior with him, given she was once Ye Fan''s sister-inw, wouldn''t that be too embarrassing?


    "Xiao Fan, aboutst night..." Su Yixue asked shyly, wanting to know if Ye Fan had been awake the previous night.


    Of course, Ye Fan knew what Su Yixue was thinking, "Yixue honey, what happenedst night? Didn''t you sleep well? Or did I do something bad?"


    Ye Fan reverted to his foolish demeanor, bewildering Su Yixue. Had Ye Fan be foolish again?


    "Sigh! Never mind... Let''s go meet Mr. Yu Qiang, I hope he will like what we''ve brought today!" Su Yixue nced at the two antiques given by Manager Wu, one a renowned painting from the Song Dynasty, and the other a jade qilin.


    Ye Fan smiled faintly. If Yu Qiang was indeed the master of the Assassins'' Hall of Tianji Pavilion, then these two gifts would probably not appeal to him... Perhaps, Yu Qiang was also waiting for his own appearance...


    ```

 Chapter 89 Show some respect, Im married!

    The Southwest Medical Association is located in a standalone building in the Southern Suburbs of Cloud City!


    It''s a semi-official, semi-civilian medical organization formed by all the medical moguls of the Southwestern Region and official bodies!


    Although it usually keeps a low profile, every major pharmaceutical manufacturer needs its approval if they want to produce a new drug or expand their scale or build additional facilities.


    So the position of the president of the Medical Association has be extremely important and sought after by everyone.


    However, what infuriates people is that since Yu Qiang took office twenty years ago, the presidency has not changed hands. Regardless of what others have tried, even with the influence of the Capital, they have not seeded in ousting him.


    Experience tales at m v|l e''-NovelBin


    This has made outsiders even more wary of Yu Qiang''s background and strength!


    Latterly, all the major manufacturers could only curry favor with Yu Qiang.


    It''s only ten in the morning, yet Yu Qiang''s office lounge is already packed with people!


    Because for the second half of the year in the Southwestern Region, there''s only one new drug production quota left, and every major manufacturer is exerting all their effort to ingratiate themselves with Yu Qiang.


    And Yu Qiang does not hide his preferences at all; everything is judged by the calligraphy and paintings sent to him.


    When Su Yixue led Ye Fan into the rest hall, everyone''s gaze involuntarily turned towards Ye Fan and Su Yixue.


    "Eh! Isn''t that the Ye Family''s fool?"


    "Yeah! Su Yixue really has guts, always bringing this fool around with her!"


    "However, did you watch the Su Family''s new drugunch yesterday? They really came up with such an amazing cosmetic ster. It''s incredible! It seems the Su Family is here today for that quota... sigh, we''re probably just cannon fodder!"


    "Not necessarily. The Su Family''s arch-enemy, the Jin Family from the Provincial City, is also vying for this quota. The Jin Family''s power far surpasses the Su Family''s now!"


    While talking, people couldn''t help but turn their heads to look in another direction of the lounge.


    There, a young man in a suit sits with several assistants, leaving several empty seats around; no one dares to approach.


    It''s none other than the Provincial City''s Jin Family''s Young Master Jin Yang!


    Upon seeing Su Yixue walk in, Jin Yang''s face reveals a devilish smile, "Yixue, it has been a long time! I knew you woulde today... Look at you, you''ve lost weight from all the recent hard work!"


    As he speaks, Jin Yang attempts to reach out and caress Su Yixue''s cheek.


    Su Yixue''s face darkens, "Jin Yang, please show some respect! I have a husband!"


    Hmm?


    Seeing Jin Yang''s demeanor, Ye Fan frowns!


    It seems that there is some history between Young Master Jin and wife Yixue!


    Ye Fan had only briefly heard of a very persistent suitor who pursued Su Yixue before her marriage to Qi Lang of the Ye Family, more troublesome than Zhao Tianlong, but Ye Fan had not delved deeper. Now it appears that it might be Jin Yang before him.


    Jin Yang''s arm is pushed away by Su Yixue, but he is not annoyed at all!


    Instead, he looks at Ye Fan with disdain, "Husband? Yixue, are you referring to the dead Qi Lang of the Ye Family, or the fool and waste before me? Haha! Before, you married into the Ye Family, and I said nothing, as the Ye Family was not to be messed with. But now that Qi Lang is dead and the Ye Family is nearly copsing, why bother?"


    Jin Yang then takes a bouquet of roses from behind him and offers them to Su Yixue with both hands, "Yixue! Be my girlfriend... As you know, I''ve been pursuing you since high school, almost ten years now. We have a history, and... you''re here today for the drug production quota, right? If you be my girlfriend, I won''tpete with you for the quota. I''ll let your Su Family have it, and then your family will take off... Join forces with my Jin Family, and who else in the pharmaceutical industry of the Southwestern Region canpete with us?"


    Jin Yang spoke with such sincerity that Ye Fan almost believed him!


    At this moment, Ye Fan also understood, Jin Yang was the very suitor of Su Yixue from before!


    However, looking at Su Yixue''s demeanor, she seemed not to be interested in Jin Yang at all.


    "Jin Yang, could you please stop being so annoying? I''ve told you countless times I''m not interested in you, and I told you to stop pestering me! Now I have a husband, and that''s Ye Fan... No matter what he is like, I will have many children for him, so just stop embarrassing yourself!"


    Su Yixue held onto Ye Fan''s wrist tightly, "Xiao Fan, don''t be angry, there''s nothing between him and me! I''m already your woman, and in this lifetime, I will surely only be your woman!"


    Ye Fan felt warmth in his heart, thinking about these outstanding girls who were so good to the Ye Family and so loyal; he definitely had to be stronger to be able to protect them.


    "Did you hear that? My wife said it, I''m her husband, and here you are pestering someone''s wife, do you have no shame?" Ye Fan stared at Jin Yang, his murderous aura quietly released, a soul-piercing spiritual power surged out, causing Jin Yang to shudder uncontrobly.


    Snap!


    Before Jin Yang could react, Ye Fan had already snatched the rose from his hand and threw it onto the ground, stomping on it several times, crushing it to pieces!


    "My grandpa always said, if anyone bullies my wife, I should fight them back!"


    Snap!


    The next moment, Ye Fan actually raised his hand and pped Jin Yang fiercely across the face, causing one side of Jin Yang''s face to swell up instantly.


    "Fuck... you, you moron, dare to hit me? You''re seeking death!" Jin Yang could only utter a few words, without doing anything, he suddenly got beaten up for no apparent reason. Infuriated, Jin Yang roared like thunder, scolding his subordinates and was about toy hands on Ye Fan.


    "Who dares to touch a hair on my big brother and see what happens? Have you forgotten who my big brother is? The only heir of the Ye Family, although the Ye Family has suffered a great loss, they''re not someone you cats and dogs can bully... if you''re not afraid of death, just try it!"


    Wang Fugui''s shout rang out as he stood up from the entrance.


    Martial Arts Qi swirled around him, whipping up waves of energy in the room.


    A Grandmaster?


    Jin Yang and his assistants were stunned. The Wang Family, as a vassal family of the Ye Family, had Wang Fugui''s grandfather as Ye Fan''s grandfather''s deputy. Wang Fugui''s father was also a capable aide of Ye Fan''s father''s generation!


    Though the Ye Family was currently in trouble, Wang Fugui''s father was still doing his utmost to stabilize the situation within the Tianlong Army.


    Even if the Ye Family fell, the power of the Wang Family was not to be underestimated.


    "You..." Although Jin Yang was seething with anger inside, he didn''t dare make any excessive moves in the face of Wang Fugui and with Ye Fan''s status right there.


    At least that was the case in public. If he were to act, it would have to be done secretly.


    "What''s this? Are you all so unrestrained? You still dare to fight here while wanting to win the medical production quota?" From the office, a bespectacled male secretary stepped out, casting a sharp nce over the crowd, and the oppressive atmosphere that Wang Fugui''s Qi Force had created instantly dissipated...


    Hmm?


    Ye Fan''s eyebrow twitched. A mere secretary with the strength of a Martial Venerable?


    Although that secretary hid his presence very well, in that brief instant, Ye Fan still clearly perceived it!


    If that''s the case, then the identity of Yu Qiang, the head of the Assassins'' Hall, is probably no fake.

 Chapter 90 The Egg is Broken!

    The secretary''s arrival diffused the tense atmosphere at the scene, and Jin Yang also found an easy way out.


    "Hmph, kid, you''re lucky this time!" Jin Yang red at Ye Fan, throwing out a threat before turning his resentful gaze towards Su Yixue, "Su Yixue, you better not regret your decision today! Dare to refuse me, Jin Yang, I guarantee you won''t get your medicinal production quota today... And then, what does it matter if you have a peerless beauty ointment? If you can''t produce it, don''te begging me..."


    Jin Yang coldly stared at Su Yixue, looking like he was sure of his victory.


    For today''s pharmaceutical quota, Jin Yang had spent a fortune to bring back two treasures from the Realm. ording to the expert, both were imbued with a rich, ancient aura... Moreover, the most crucial point was that Jin Yang got wind of a secret through various channels.


    That was, the antiques that Yu Qiang had taken a liking to were all pulsating with a mystical, ancient aura.


    And the ones without that ancient aura, Yu Qiang directly passed on!


    Just now, Jin Yang noticed that the two antiques Su Yixue brought, although they had the ancient aura, were not the type that Yu Qiang wanted.


    Therefore, Jin Yang was certain that Su Yixue was bound to lose.


    Su Yixue looked around at everyone in the room, also very worried.


    After all, Su Yixue had already asked for Divine Doctor Lei Qianjue to intervene, but Yu Qiang still wouldn''t budge.


    Now, relying solely on her two antiques, could she really open Yu Qiang''s door?


    "Trash that covets someone else''s wife, how can you be so certain that you''ll definitely get the quota?" Ye Fan coldly nced at Jin Yang, "On the contrary, I think that today''s pharmaceutical quota is secured by my Su Corporation!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan gently patted Su Yixue''s wrist, "Honey, don''t worry, I will definitely secure today''s pharmaceutical quota for you!"


    Once he confirmed that Yu Qiang was in charge of the Tianji Pavilion''s Assassins'' Hall, Ye Fan was one hundred percent sure of the quota.


    ording to the information transmitted from the dragon-patterned ring, Yu Qiang, the person responsible for the Tianji Pavilion''s hall, was the Old Pavilion Master''s absolute confidant and someone who could be trusted.


    As long as he showed the token and the passphrase, there was no reason for Yu Qiang, as the potential new Pavilion Master, to not acknowledge him.


    "Hmph! A piece of trash... You? What will you use to secure it? Your mouth?" Jin Yang sneered at Ye Fan, then suddenly remembered that just moments ago, Ye Fan had taken advantage of his distraction to p him across the face. Jin Yang himself was somewhat proficient in Martial Arts Qi and was close to reaching the Control Realm, yet he''d failed to dodge Ye Fan''s p.


    That meant Ye Fan''s strength, even in his current addled state, must still be above the Control Realm.


    Frightened of being pped again!


    After finishing his sentence, Jin Yang quickly covered his face with his hands!


    Getting pped once was tolerable, but if it happened a second time, that would be a real loss of face.


    Broadcasting that he''d been hit by a fool, what would he have to say for himself?


    The problem was that his status made it so, even if he wanted to retaliate, he dared not act rashly!


    He could only swallow the silent frustration!


    However, Jin Yang had only two hands, and while he managed to cover his face, he couldn''t protect his crotch!


    Before Jin Yang could react, Ye Fan had already made his move, raising his foot and kicking hard at Jin Yang''s crotch.


    *Pfft! Pfft!*


    That was the sound of eggs cracking; Jin Yang copsed to the ground gasping, his body curling up like a shrimp!


    "Ah... Damn it, my jewels... Ye Fan, you''re seeking death... *sob*..."


    That sensation of crushed jewels made Jin Yang''s entire face swell red with pain, his body convulsing until he finally fainted, lying on the ground like a dead dog.


    Readtest stories on m_v-l''e|-NovelBin


    The bodyguards around Jin Yang looked at Ye Fan with some fear and hesitated before helping Jin Yang up and quickly taking him towards the hospital.


    Jin Yang left, and the atmosphere on the scene became subtle once again.


    When Jin Yang was hit for the first time, it could be considered a coincidence, as Jin Yang was unprepared.


    But even though Jin Yang was on guard the second time, he was still severely beaten by Ye Fan and fainted straight away.


    Who said that the Ye Family''s young master is a fool?


    Clearly, he''s very clever, alright!


    He even understands how to feint to one side and attack another, leaving Jin Yang in such a state.


    Everyone knows that Jin Yang''s strength is Above Control, and he is almost at the grandmaster level.


    If Ye Fan can beat him so easily, that indicates that Ye Fan''s strength is at least Above Grandmaster.


    Five years!


    The Ye Family''s monstrous talent of a young master, although he has be silly, doesn''t seem to have dimmed his innate gifts.


    In the blink of an eye, everyone''s view of Ye Fan changed, and many family representatives werementing that even if the Jin Family couldn''t secure the quota, it probably wouldn''t go to any other family.


    After all, there''s the Su Family supported by the Ye Family in the forefront!


    At the scene, the most shocked was the secretary under Yu Qiang.


    Although he was wearing sses, he wasn''t short-sighted at all. He wore sses merely to cover up certain matters.


    Just now, he was clearly in the room, so close to Ye Fan, but he didn''t manage to stop Ye Fan''s attack with his Martial Venerable Realm strength. He didn''t even realize how Ye Fan had made his move!


    For such a thing to happen, there could only be two possibilities: One is that Ye Fan didn''t use Martial Arts Qi at all, and the other is that Ye Fan''s strength has far surpassed his own, so he couldn''t detect it at all.


    "Are you also trying topete for that quota? Bring out the item!" The secretary, originally a bit angry, softened his attitude significantly towards Su Yixue after sensing something off about Ye Fan.


    "Thank you! The item is right here!" Su Yixue handed over the thing respectfully to the secretary!


    After taking the antique from Su Yixue''s hand, the secretary nced at the time on his watch, then looked around the crowd in the hall and said, "The time has almoste. Su Family Pharmaceutical''s item is thest one; who the quota will go to will soon be known, please wait a moment!"


    After finishing his words, the secretary quickly entered the room inside, and in less than five minutes, he came out holding arge pile of items, "Ladies and gentlemen, I''m sorry! The medical production quota goes to the Jin Family. The rest of you, please take your items back in order, and Mr. Yu has asked me to thank you for your kindness!"


    Sigh!


    A collective sigh spread through those gathered; so many vied for the position, yet there was only one quota. Many were there just to try their luck!


    The oue of not being selected was something they had anticipated.


    Su Yixue, too, looked crestfallen. After retrieving the antique she had offered, she called out to Ye Fan, "Husband, let''s go back."


    Ye Fan smiled faintly and said to Su Yixue, "Wife, may I take a look at the antique in your hand?"


    Su Yixue was somewhat puzzled, "Let you see it?"


    Wang Fugui, who was standing nearby, chimed in at just the right moment, "Sister-inw, let my big brother have a look! My big brother is very skilled; he discovered a treasure just the other day!"


    "Oh!" Su Yixue gave a responsive nod and handed the antique to Ye Fan.


    The moment Ye Fan took the antique, his wrist moved swiftly, channeling Qi Force at high speed to inscribe a mysterious pattern inside the box �C the secretmand of the Tianji Pavilion''s Pavilion Master!


    As Ye Fan made his move, Yu Qiang''s secretary seemed to sense something and looked sharply in Ye Fan''s direction, yet he discovered nothing.


    After scrutinizing for a few moments, Ye Fan handed back the antique to Su Yixue and said, "Yixue, my wife, the most valuable part of this antique is the box. How about letting them have another look?"

 Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Turning Point!

    "The box is more precious?" Su Yixue frowned as she responded, wondering if Ye Fan was talking nonsense, or if he had really discovered something.


    Although Su Yixue didn''t understand much about the matter, given Ye Fan''s previous behavior, she hesitated as well.


    Wang Fugui, on the other hand, was bing somewhat impatient, "Sister-inw, you must trust Big Brother, he''s really capable. He once led me to pick out a super treasure in the antique market..."


    "Come on! Sister-inw, hand over the item to me!"


    As he spoke, Wang Fugui took the box from Su Yixue''s hands and then walked over to Yu Qiang''s secretary, "Brother, take another look?"


    The secretary, originally not nning to continue looking since the slots had already been set, thought there was no point in looking further.


    But recalling the brief sensation of the Martial Arts Qi Force Fluctuation he had perceived before��that mysterious fluctuation of Qi, though it was just for a moment, he was absolutely certain that the Martial Breath was real.


    Could it be that the Qi fluctuation had emanated from that idiot husband of Su Yixue?


    "Hmph! What''s there to see? Su Yixue, the slots have been confirmed. What else do you want to do? Do you think your two items canpare to what I''ve brought?"


    Before Yu Qiang''s secretary could say anything, Jin Yang once again appeared suddenly at the door of the room.


    Although his privates were injured, he had just given himself a simple bandaging; with gauze wrapped around his groin area, he entered the room in a somewhatical fashion.


    Jin Yang was very confident in his antique, so he didn''t want to miss the moment the slots were announced.


    As Jin Yang spoke, he instinctively reached out to grab the antique box in Wang Fugui''s hand. But sensing the stirring Martial Arts Qi emanating from Wang Fugui, he involuntarily retreated a step, slightly wary.


    "Secretary Zhang, I don''t think you should waste your time anymore. The slots have already been confirmed. Could you please hurry up and have Elder Yu sign the document?" Jin Yang said, somewhat smugly dissuading Yu Qiang''s secretary.


    When Jin Yang turned to look at Su Yixue, he said with a sullen face, "Hmph! Su Yixue, I told you there woulde a time when you would beg me. Now that the slots are confirmed, your Su Family no longer has a chance. No matter how good your Su Corporation''s Beauty Nourishing Cream is, without a production license, what can you do?"


    "Ungrateful, I refuse to believe that with my means, I can''t deal with you," he sneered.


    After berating Su Yixue and Ye Fan for a while and noticing that Ye Fan''s expression seemed off, Jin Yang quickly shut up.


    Ye Fan''s strength was somewhat mysterious, and Jin Yang was very wary of it.


    Just now, Jin Yang had already contacted his family, calling for a stronger expert toe and protect him. Before that expert''s arrival, Jin Yang dared not be too presumptuous.


    "Secretary Zhang, why aren''t you moving?" Jin Yang had been there for a while, but he noticed that Secretary Zhang didn''t seem to be leaving and his gaze was fixed on the box in Wang Fugui''s hand.


    "Are you instructing me how to do my job?" Secretary Zhang''s eyes shed sharply, ring at Jin Yang, "Indeed, the slots have been announced, but that doesn''t mean they can''t be changed!"


    With a single sentence from Secretary Zhang, Jin Yang''s heart skipped a beat!


    "Secretary Zhang..."


    Jin Yang already had a bad feeling, and at that moment, Secretary Zhang had walked up to Wang Fugui, took the box from his hand, nced at Ye Fan, and finally rested his eyes on Su Yixue. "President Su, I''ll take this box and have Elder Yu take another look. But as for the oue, I can''t make any guarantees..."


    After the announcement of the slots, the representatives of the families present were originally nning to leave.


    But suddenly, a twist of fate urred�� the antique brought by the Su Family was being sent back in, granting them a chance at revival!


    Things were starting to get interesting!


    Everyone began to stay again, wanting to see how things would unfold.


    "I told you, today''s slot is for my wife, and you won''t stand a chance," Ye Fan said indifferently, ncing at Jin Yang, his voice cold.


    Wang Fugui also chimed in from the side, "When my elder brother says the slot is for the Su Family, then it belongs to the Su Family! If you dare to snatch it, I don''t mind beating you so badly even your parents won''t recognize you."


    "Hmph! Wang Fugui, do you think the Wang Family, my Jin Family is afraid? Even though the Su Family has taken the item back in, do you think you have a chance? Dream on!" Jin Yang remained stubborn.


    But as soon as Jin Yang''s words fell, the moment to p his face arrived.


    The door hurriedly swung open from the inside, and Secretary Zhang came out with a solemn face, respectfully approached Su Yixue and Ye Fan, even bowing, "President Su, Young Master Ye, Young Master Wang, Elder Yu invites you inside for a detailed discussion!"


    "Huh?" Su Yixue looked at Secretary Zhang with surprise,pletely incredulous.


    For so many years, family representatives who hoped to secure a slot would be satisfied just to meet Secretary Zhang; no one ever had the chance for a private discussion with Elder Yu.


    And what such a private discussion implied was already very clear.


    "Secretary Zhang, what...should we do? About the slot just now��" Jin Yang waspletely bbergasted. Even an idiot could see what this meant.


    "The slot offered just now is void; everyone, please leave! Elder Yu said the slot belongs to the Su Family, and no one can change that," Secretary Zhang announced dispassionately, a conclusion that everyone had already guessed from his behavior just a moment before.


    "Ah... this��" Jin Yang''s face instantly turned pale.


    The Jin Family had expended so much effort for this slot.


    Not only money but also connections; the price paid was considerable, all with the aim ofunching a new drug.


    If they missed this slot, not only would all the Jin Family''s efforts have been in vain, but if they failed to produce the new drug on time, their financial chain would break, and they might even go bankrupt!


    "Secretary Zhang��"


    Jin Yang wanted to argue further, but Secretary Zhang was already guiding Ye Fan, Su Yixue, and Wang Fugui toward an innerpartment. Several of Yu Qiang''s bodyguards blocked Jin Yang, saying coldly, "Mr. Jin, please leave!"


    "This��"


    Jin Yang was utterly bewildered; he clearly had secured the slot moments ago. The Su Family had let Yu Qiang re-evaluate the antique, and he had indeed reassessed it, even inviting Su Yixue and others inside, ultimately granting the slot to the Su Family!


    "What kind of tactics did the Su Family use? The Jin Family has been defeated?"


    "It''s quite miraculous, isn''t it? Are you leaving? I want to stay and see what exactly happened," said another.


    "Look at Jin Yang, he was so full of himself just now, and now he''s deted," chimed in another voice.


    Hearing the quiet discussions of other family representatives around him, Jin Yang felt as ufortable as if he had swallowed flyrvae; how did the situation end up like this?


    Watching the firmly closed door, a fierce glint shed in Jin Yang''s eyes; so what if the Su Family got the slot?


    The current Ye Family was just a toothless tiger, and as far as the Jin Family was concerned, the Su Family was not even worth considering...

 Chapter 92 I Want to Talk to Young Master Ye Alone!

    Inside the partition, Yu Qiang looked respectfully at the antique box in front of him, his face filled with shock!


    He had already checked the antique before, and it did not have many rustic Qi Force fluctuations, which was not what he desired.


    But when the box was brought back a second time, a mysterious pattern had appeared on it.


    The pattern was indeed the secretmand of the Tianji Pavilion Master!


    Before the Old Pavilion Master''s disappearance, hisst order was for Yu Qiang to wait for the arrival of the new Pavilion Master in Cloud City.


    Yu Qiang had been waiting here for nearly twenty years!


    And now, the Pavilion Master''smand had appeared once again.


    Did this mean a new Pavilion Master had emerged?


    As the head of the most powerful Assassin Hall within Tianji Pavilion, although the Old Pavilion Master had been missing for many years and internal strife ensued, the Assassin Hall under Yu Qiang''s control remained unchaotic and did not align with any faction.


    Yu Qiang''s loyaltyy only with the Tianji Pavilion Master!


    Before the antique was first brought in, there were no patterns on the box, yet when it was brought in a second time, the mysterious pattern was there... indicating that the pattern had been sealed onto it just moments ago.


    The new Pavilion Master might be right outside in the reception hall!


    Because this Tianji Pavilionmand pattern could only be carved by the Pavilion Master himself and would not be passed on to any non-Pavilion Master.


    Creak!


    When the door was opened from outside, Secretary Zhang ushered in Su Yixue, Wang Fugui, along with Ye Fan, Yu Qiang quickly stood up and respectfully said, "President Su, my apologies for the negligence earlier!"


    As he spoke, Yu Qiang''s sharp eyes swept across Su Yixue and the others.


    Su Yixue had Martial Arts Qi of an Energy Transformation level and above, and the fluctuations were not strong as though she had just cultivated Martial Arts Qi, clearly not a likely candidate for Tianji Pavilion Master.


    And Yu Qiang knew Wang Fugui, the eldest of the Wang Family in Cloud City, whose strength was already above Grandmaster level, a very respectable achievement indeed.


    But with such talent and ability, Wang Fugui was still not quite ready to take control of the entire Tianji Pavilion.


    That left only the young master of the Ye Family, Ye Fan, who was known to everyone as the fool of the Ye Family.


    Since the age of five, Ye Fan had exhibited incredible Martial Arts talent, breaking through to Grandmaster level at fifteen and was even close to reaching Martial Venerable level strength.


    Back then, Ye Fan''s exceptional talent indeed caught Yu Qiang''s attention. Experience new tales on m v|l e''-NovelBin


    Based on the timing, Ye Fan''s rise coincided perfectly with the Old Pavilion Master''s disappearance. Yu Qiang had suspected that Ye Fan might have received the Old Pavilion Master''s inheritance, which exined his remarkable performance.


    But just when Yu Qiang was about to investigate Ye Fan more deeply, Ye Fan had a car ident, became mentally handicapped, and lost all his abilities; hence, Yu Qiang ceased the investigation.


    And now, Ye Fan had reappeared before Yu Qiang, apanied by the Tianji Pavilion''s secretmand.


    Yu Qiang couldn''t help but suspect Ye Fan!


    When Yu Qiang''s powerful Perception swept over Ye Fan, the first thing he felt was a profound, dense, and somewhat familiar Martial Arts Qi... It even gave the impression of Mount Tai''s overwhelming pressureing at him.


    "Martial Emperor Level?"


    Ye Fan''s disyed strength was at least above that of a Third-Rank Martial Emperor, while Yu Qiang''s strength had only just broken through to the Martial Emperor level recently.


    As Yu Qiang was about to delve deeper, a wave of immense mental power surged out, crudely forcing Yu Qiang to retreat a step against his will!


    That mental force seemed to burn through to the very depths of Yu Qiang''s soul, causing his body to vibrate violently!


    Yu Qiang knew that this was a warning from Ye Fan, indicating that his probing had gone too far and crossed a boundary.


    But Yu Qiang was curious, if Ye Fan was the Tianji Pavilion Master and was already in a very lucid state, why did he still act like a fool?


    However, since Ye Fan had arranged things this way, there must be a reason for it.


    "Elder Yu, you''re being too polite! Yixue is very grateful that you could offer this quota to the Su Corporation, and I don''t know how to express my thanks!" Su Yixue looked at Yu Qiang with gratitude, but she was also genuinely curious. She had clearly handed the antique to Yu Qiang but it had been passed back to her.


    Just by taking it back again, Yu Qiang had changed his decision. Why?


    "President Su, no need to thank me! Didn''t you already give what you had to give? Like your husband said, the contents of the box aren''t important; the box itself is more precious than its contents!" While speaking, Yu Qiang nced at Ye Fan, "President Su, if the Su Corporation ever needs this old man''s help, just say the word!"


    "President Su, Young Master Wang, may I have a moment to speak with Young Master Ye alone?" Yu Qiang had mostly confirmed that the Tianji Pavilion Master was Ye Fan, but he needed to verify it once more.


    "This��" Su Yixue looked at Ye Fan with some concern, while Wang Fugui was also on guard, "Elder Yu, isn''t that inappropriate?"


    Wang Fugui knew that Ye Fan was still in a fool''s state and was always very attentive to Ye Fan''s safety.


    Ye Fan knew that Yu Qiang wanted to speak with him in private, and Ye Fan also had some matters to exin to Yu Qiang.


    After all, with Tianji Pavilion being such a massive organization, Ye Fan''s understanding of it was still very limited. Moreover, to truly control the Tianji Pavilion, relying on Ye Fan alone was clearly insufficient.


    In order to seek revenge for the Ye Family, although he had the resources left by his mother, having the Tianji Pavilion on his side would definitely not be a mistake.


    "Yixue, it''s okay, just wait for me outside... I can protect myself!" While speaking, Ye Fan reached out and gave Su Yixue a gentle tug.


    Su Yixue was somewhat puzzled, but she sharply felt that Ye Fan seemed to have improved a lotpared to before, with his memory and intelligence recovering significantly. Perhaps letting Ye Fan interact more with others would be very beneficial to his recovery?


    "Then, let''s go out, Fugui... Xiao Fan should be fine," Su Yixue called out to Wang Fugui, nodded at Ye Fan, and quickly left the doorway.


    Su Yixue didn''t know where her confidence came from, but she had great faith in Ye Fan. She believed that Ye Fan could handle everything and would definitely get better.


    Just as Su Yixue and Wang Fugui left the front door, Yu Qiang made his move!


    Thirteen throwing knives each with intense Qi Force, shot towards Ye Fan from eight tricky angles with incredible speed.


    The sound of tearing through the air was so loud it seemed to split the void, emitting a vast wailing noise.


    The mighty Qi Force Fluctuation showed that the throwing knives unleashed by Yu Qiang carried martial arts Qi that had reached the level of a Martial Emperor''s strength.


    And he was using lethal moves from the start!


    Ye Fan knew this was both a test and a deadly assault!


    If he truly was the Tianji Pavilion Master, then he should be able to easily catch these knives. If he was not and was merely posing as the Pavilion Master, then Yu Qiang would indeed show no mercy and would y him...

 Chapter 93 Overwhelming Dominance!

    Ye Fan knew he had to show some real skill to make Yu Qiangpletely submit!


    Without any hesitation, Ye Fan fully activated his Teleportation Trait; his body disappeared from its original spot, easily dodging the attack of thirteen flying daggers.


    However, Ye Fan''s movements did not stop there. Fully utilizing his Third-Rank Martial Emperor strength, the Martial Arts Qi in his hands was nearly taking solid form.


    "Deluo sh!"


    Ye Fan uttered softly, and the Martial Arts Qi in his hands instantly stacked eighteen times. What was originally the strength of a Third-Rank Martial Emperor, in just a moment, thebat power disyed increased geometrically. The truebat power was nowparable to that of a Martial Emperor Fifth Rank.


    Buzz buzz!


    Amidst the sh of two powerful Qi Forces, the air in the entire room let out a mournful hum.


    The air was forcibly torn apart, emitting a sharp, explosive roar.


    Under the impact of Ye Fan''s powerful Qi Force, the thirteen flying daggers, originally containing immense power, were forced to pause in mid-air, as if frozen in space.


    Huh?


    Noticing that Ye Fan''s strength had increased so crazily in an instant, a trace of shock shed through Yu Qiang''s eyes.


    Ye Fan''s strength was even greater than he had imagined? Reaching the power of a Martial Emperor Fifth Rank?


    This...


    Crack! Crack!


    As Yu Qiang''s flying daggers paused in the air, the next moment, those daggers were crushed into a pile of fragments by the powerful impact of the Qi Force, falling toward the ground.


    Just one move clearly determined the disparity in strength.


    Ye Fan''s powerpletely overpowered Yu Qiang.


    If Ye Fan wanted to kill Yu Qiang, there was a very small chance Yu Qiang could avoid it.


    "Pavilion Master, I have sinned, your subordinate Yu Qiang, greets the Pavilion Master!"


    "Your subordinate Zhang Chao, greets the Pavilion Master!"


    As the flying daggers hit the ground, Yu Qiang immediately knelt down, paying his respects to Ye Fan with great reverence.


    Secretary Zhang Chao also knelt down to pay his respects!


    As both men knelt, their hearts were filled with both shock and joy.


    They never expected that the Pavilion Master they had been waiting for almost twenty years was right beside them, the very fool of the Ye Family.


    Ye Fan''s talent before he became foolish was known to them; at only fifteen years old, he had reached the Grandmaster Realm.


    Now, he had achieved a level on the Martial Emperor Level.


    The key point was that Ye Fan was just in his early twenties now. Given time, what kind of achievements would Ye Fan attain?


    Tianji Pavilion was saved!


    Ye Fan himself walked to a chair on the side and sat down, speaking indifferently, "Rise! The sudden appearance of the Pavilion Master''s token, your doubts, needing to test, I can understand! If you have any questions now, you may ask me!"


    "Your subordinate has no questions! Now that the Pavilion Master has appeared, it must be themand of the Old Pavilion Master; I will lead the Assassin Hall without question, unconditionally obeying any order from the Pavilion Master." Though Yu Qiang stood up, he still respectfully stood in front of Ye Fan, with a face of devotion.


    Ye Fan nodded secretly as he observed Yu Qiang. Indeed, just as the old man in the dragon-patterned ring had said, Yu Qiang was worthy of trust.


    "Currently, only you and Elder Pang are aware of my identity. The Tianji Pavilion has been without its Old Pavilion Master for such a long time that internal problems must have arisen by now. I need time to sort things out... At the moment, there are no other tasks for you to carry out, but I need you to secretly investigate and find out who exactly wants to eradicate the Ye Family. I need evidence..."


    "Additionally, the Tianji Pavilion must provide protection and assistance to the seven families rted to the Ye Family from all aspects."


    Ye Fan knew that although he had in Chu Feng, wiping out the Zhao Family, the Wang Family, and the Li Family, their retaliation would surelye back even crazier.


    If he was inconvenient to show himself, relying solely on the strength of Xia Hao, Guo Li, and others might still be insufficient. If the Ye Family''s power was used, he estimated that his own identity would soon be revealed.


    Thus, employing the power of the Tianji Pavilion along with the supporting strength of the Wandering Soul was the best solution.


    "Yes! I will definitely do my utmost to protect the seven families!"


    Yu Qiang had a general understanding of the Ye Family''s situation. Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e''-NovelBin


    Which seven families Ye Fan was referring to, Yu Qiang was naturally well aware.


    When Ye Fan came out, Su Yixue and Wang Fugui approached with concerned faces and asked, "Big Brother (Husband), are you alright?"


    Ye Fan smiled slightly, "I''m fine!"


    Following behind, Secretary Zhang came out and respectfully said to Su Yixue, "President Su, this is the production license personally signed by Elder Yu. Su Family can start producing the new medicine at any time! If President Su encounters any trouble, feel free to contact me or Elder Yu anytime. This is our business card!"


    While speaking, Zhang Chao handed over two business cards to Su Yixue, with a hint of fear in his eyes.


    The woman before him was none other than the Pavilion Madam.


    Thank goodness he hadn''t given Su Yixue a hard time before, or he wouldn''t even know how he''d died!


    "Thank you, Secretary Zhang!"


    Leaving from Yu Qiang''s ce and sitting in the car afterward, Su Yixue still looked puzzled, "Husband, what did Elder Yu say to you? Also, how exactly did you manage to get Elder Yu to suddenly agree to give the production license quota to Su Corporation?"


    Su Yixue was growing more and more suspicious about Ye Fan, suspecting that he had already awoken.


    If that was the case, the intimacy she shared with Ye Fan at night was too embarrassing.


    After all, Su Yixue had always treated Ye Fan as if he were in a state of simple-mindedness, and many actions and poses had been initiated by her guiding him.


    "He didn''t say much. It''s just that I have some expertise in antiques and discovered the secret of that box. Elder Yu and I discussed some knowledge about antique appraisal..."


    Ye Fan exined like this, and Wang Fugui, who was driving in front, quickly chimed in to help, "That''s right! Sister-inw, I have said before, my big brother has his own methods when ites to antiques!"


    Su Yixue wanted to ask a few more questions, but she suddenly received a call from thepany, "President Su, someone from the Provincial City is looking for you, iming that Su Corporation had previously signed a major project with them. Now, if the project is not carried out, they will demand a huge penalty for breach of contract!"


    Upon hearing the call from the secretary, Su Yixue felt a jolt in her heart and her face paled immediately!


    Had the inevitable finally arrived?


    The mistake made by her uncle when he was drunk that one time, would it truly bring disaster upon the family?


    "Okay! I''lle back right away!" Su Yixue hung up the phone and said to Wang Fugui in front, "Fugui, drive to Su Corporation. Later on, please take good care of Xiao Fan for me, I need to handle some affairs at thepany!"


    What Su Yixue didn''t know was that Ye Fan had heard the content of the call on Su Yixue''s phone loud and clear.


    Su Corporation had encountered problems again. Although Ye Fan didn''t know the specifics at the moment, one thing he was sure of was that the people from Elder Zhang''s side had begun their retaliation!


    If they didn''t suppress Su Corporation, their authority would suffer a great blow, and those who had allied with them to move against the Ye Family would begin to doubt their strength...

 Chapter 94 Assault on the Road!

    Ye Fan and Su Yixue had not long left Yu Qiang''s ce when Jin Yang had set his sights on Su Yixue, trailing behind with a convoy of cars that formed a loose U-shape, enveloping Su Yixue''s car!


    Inside a ck business van at the back, one of Jin Yang''s henchmen hesitated before speaking up, "Young Master Jin, are we really going to make a move against Miss Su? Weren''t you trying to pursue her?"


    Jin Yang red coldly at his subordinate and chastised, "Does Laotzu need you to tell me how to conduct my affairs?"


    "Have everyone take action and ram into them! What Laotzu wants is the production permit quota, understand?"


    Jin Yang had indeed been interested in Su Yixue, but she had clearly rejected him, and that bastard Ye Fan had made Jin Yang lose face in front of so many people.


    Compared to Su Yixue, the production license was obviously more important.


    If they couldn''t retrieve the permit this time, the Jin Family would suffer a huge loss, and the old man at home would probably skin him alive.


    Besides, Jin Yang had long held a grudge against Ye Fan and Su Yixue, itching to get even.


    "Yes!"


    At Jin Yang''smand, several vans and small trucks on either side of Su Yixue''s blue BMW elerated and charged towards the car carrying Ye Fan and his party.


    Ye Fan, sitting inside the vehicle, had sensed the pursuing cars right from the moment they left Yu Qiang''s ce.


    These trashy vehicles, relying on Ye Fan''s current strength as a Third-Rank Martial Emperor, could easily be dealt with without any external assistance, and therefore he didn''t care at all.


    However, before Ye Fan could take action, Wang Fugui had already sensed the situation outside, "Big brother, sister-inw, hold on tight... someone wants to kill us! Humph... Old Wang isn''t so easy to bully!"


    As the words fell, Wang Fugui floored the throttle, and the car roared forward, instantly speeding up with a perfectly smooth drift, effortlessly avoiding the collision attempts from the two small trucks on either side!


    Bang!


    As Wang Fugui drove forward, the two small trucks behind collided violently with each other, their fronts instantly totaled!


    "Damn it!"


    From the business van not far behind, Jin Yang cursed as he witnessed the scene unfold, "Motherfucker, how can they be so lucky? Continue the operation, don''t stop! I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can''t take you down!"


    For this operation, Jin Yang had mobilized dozens of vehicles, fully intent on taking Ye Fan and Su Yixue''s lives.


    More vehicles elerated towards Ye Fan with a roar!


    What neither Ye Fan nor Jin Yang knew was that at the other end of the street, inside a stretched Lincoln, several people were observing the scene through a telescope.


    "Interesting, we haven''t made our move yet, but Jin Yang just did!" The young man put down the telescope, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as if pondering something.


    Next to the young man, a subordinate suggested, "Young master, shall we go add some fuel to the fire? Help Jin Yang out and just kill Ye Fan while we''re at it?"


    The young man let out a coldugh, "If Ye Fan were that easy to kill, he would have died five years ago! Humph! Besides, don''t forget, Captain Chu Feng himself came to Cloud City to make a move, and even with Martial Venerable Realm strength, he fell... Although the information we got was that Wandering Soul took action... behind the Ye Family, there''s definitely more than meets the eye..."


    "Let''s just continue watching for now!"


    On the street, Wang Fugui fully demonstrated his superior driving skills, moving left and right rapidly, dodging the cars arranged by Jin Yang like they were bumper cars, avoiding collision after collision.


    After dodging yet another session of attempts, Wang Fugui also got heated!


    "For heaven''s sake, will this ever end?"


    Wang Fugui''s forehead was already drenched in sweat, his nerves highly focused!


    "Sister-inw, quickly call Schr Guo and ask for support!"


    Wang Fugui, seeing more vehicles joining the siege, realized the situation had spiraled beyond his control, which is why he asked Su Yixue to make a call to Guo Li for help.


    "Okay!"


    Just as Su Yixue had dialed the number, from up the street, four pickup trucks came barreling in the wrong direction, side by side, charging towards them and cutting off all of Wang Fugui''s escape routes!


    Behind them, another four pickup trucks blocked the road as well!


    Jin Yang sat in his car, watching the scene unfold, a cold smirk on his lips, "Humph! This time, let''s see where you can flee."


    "Killing someone with a car ident is simply the best method, isn''t it?"


    "Once you, Su Yixue, are dead, how can the Su Family''s slot be taken? As for Ye Fan, if I really do kill him, I''m afraid some people would thank me, wouldn''t they? The Jin Family is going to thrive!"


    Jin Yang''s face was full of pride, proud of the operation he had orchestrated.


    In the face of such a desperate situation, Wang Fugui truly panicked, "Quick! Sister-inw, take big brother out of the car, we''ll escape through the flowerbeds on the side. I''ll protect you both!"


    Wang Fugui, as Ye Fan''s loyal henchman, was always responsible for Ye Fan''s safety.


    Ye Fan knew that with Wang Fugui''s grandmaster level strength, facing such a major car ident, if he focused solely on evasion, saving himself wouldn''t be a problem. However, to protect three people at the same time was clearly a strain for Wang Fugui.


    Boom! Boom!


    Just as Ye Fan was about to intervene, from another road on the side, two 20-ton heavy trucks roared in, perfectly smashing all eight pickup trucks to bits and crushing them into a pile of scrap metal!


    Those pickup trucks, weighing several tons, posed a real threat in front of a BMW sedan, but in front of those heavy trucks, they were like paper mache, effortlessly crushed and entirely ttened.


    "What the fuck... What''s happening? How can this be such a coincidence?" Stay connected via m-v l|e''-NovelBin


    Jin Yang waspletely dumbfounded by what he saw!


    Wang Fugui also wiped the sweat from his forehead, "That was too lucky!"


    Su Yixue showed relief on her face and turned to look at Ye Fan with adoring eyes.


    Although there was no evidence, Su Yixue''s sixth sense told her that all this had something to do with Ye Fan.


    After the two heavy trucks dealt with the pickup trucks, the drivers quickly jumped out and covertly signaled toward Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan saw it clearly, it was an internal hand signal of Tianji Pavilion.


    Tianji Pavilion had acted so swiftly?


    As the head of Assassin Hall, Yu Qiang had arranged protection for Ye Fan in such a short time. It seemed Yu Qiang''s abilities and tactics were top-notch, just like Pang Hai''s, both of them being Tianji Pavilion''s powerful civil and military right-hand men!


    A profound look shed in Ye Fan''s eyes. With the support of these capable aides, those responsible for wiping out the Ye Family would undoubtedly surface soon... Blood debts must be paid in blood...


    With the ndestine aid of Tianji Pavilion''s force, the vehicles Jin Yang had arranged strangely met with idents caused by other vehicles, or the drivers got beaten up, all of them stalling out instantly!


    Jin Yang in the minivan was on the verge of madness, cursing loudly, "Dammit, what''s going on? Are they all pigs? How did you arrange this? Why are all these people so unreliable?"

 Chapter 95 Retaliation so soon? One billion in mental anguish damages!

    "Young Master Jin, it wasn''t my fault... these people were all professionally trained and carefully selected. There couldn''t have been any mistakes during the mission!"


    The secretary at Jin Yang''s side hurriedly spoke up, "The current situation clearly indicates someone has intervened secretly! Otherwise, how could there be two cars appearing simultaneously on the left and right of Su Yixue''s vehicle... Young Master Jin, perhaps we should retreat quickly now?"


    This secretary by Jin Yang''s side truly had some smartness about him!


    From the current situation, although he did not actually participate in the nning of the truth behind the incident, he had almost deduced the truth of the matter.


    However, Jin Yang at this moment was seeing red. Such a meticulous n had failed to kill Su Yixue, so what chance would there be in the future?


    "Retreat, retreat my ass! If we don''t kill them today, when will we get another chance?" Jin Yang was very clear that if Su Yixue got away today, it would be even more difficult for him to make a move against her in the future.


    Moreover, the production slot had fallen into the hands of Su Corporation, and the news would soon spread.


    By that time, the Su Family''s development would elerate rapidly, while the Jin Family''s reputation and growth would face severe exclusion.


    Today, Su Yixue must be taken down!


    At the very least, Su Yixue had to be incapacitated, unable to participate in thepany''s leadership.


    "You... go, take another two cars and crash into them with me!" A fierce light shed in Jin Yang''s eyes, "I refuse to believe it, we can''t kill you today? A fool and a woman!"


    Jin Yang looked left and right, noticing there were no more trucks or cars nearby.


    Just now, when Ye Fan and Su Yixue were hit by the arranged vehicles, there were trucks that came to their rescue.


    But now, making another move, even if there were people who wanted to rescue Ye Fan, they couldn''t possibly be so quick, right?


    "Young Master Jin... alright!" Jin Yang''s secretary, albeit very reluctant, couldn''t refuse since Jin Yang had spoken. He got into another car, urged the bodyguards to start the vehicle, and together with Jin Yang, they continued to chase after the vehicle with Ye Fan and Su Yixue inside.


    At this moment, Su Yixue inside the sedan was stunned by the scene around her!


    Eight vehicles pursuing her, cornering her this way, were unexpectedly intercepted by two trucks that suddenly charged through at a critical moment!


    As a daughter of the wealthy Su Family, Su Yixue naturally knew this was no coincidence!


    Su Yixue turned to look at Ye Fan, puzzled whether this was the power arranged by Ye Fan, or if some other power was secretly protecting them.


    Did Ye Fan merely exchange some knowledge of antique appraisal with Yu Qiang, causing him to change his mind and award the production slot to him?


    Su Yixue could not believe it!


    However, one thing Su Yixue was sure of was that choosing Ye Fan was probably the right decision!


    Although following Ye Fan meant there were tough days ahead, the future would definitely be bright.


    Buzz, buzz!


    Wang Fugui continued driving. Hearing the roaring engine behind him, his expression changed, and he spoke up coldly, "They''reing again? If the tiger does not show its might, do you really think I am a sick cat?"


    Wang Fugui rolled up his sleeves and turned to Su Yixue, "Sister-inw, please help and hold the steering wheel for a moment!"


    As he spoke, Wang Fugui jumped straight out of the car window.


    Unleashing the full power of his Grandmaster Peak abilities, Wang Fugui swung his fist and smashed it directly into an approaching minivan.


    Boom!


    The strong Qi Force from Wang Fugui''s arm instantly exploded the entire front of the vehicle. The minivan came to an immediate stop, the front beginning to emit ck smoke.


    The moment Wang Fugui took action, Ye Fan inside the car saw it all clearly��a trace of golden light faintly emerged on the back of Wang Fugui.


    Xuanwu Armor! Your next read is at m v|l-e''-NovelBin


    Wang Fugui''s body actually contained a special constitution pattern, the Xuanwu Armor. If he could fully activate and master it, it would be the most natural shield.


    If used correctly, attacks below the level of a Martial Emperor stand no chance against the Xuanwu Armor.


    This brother of mine really isn''t half bad!


    A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Fan''s mouth. It seemed that, in the future, he would need to continue enhancing Wang Fugui''s strength.


    Although this guy was somewhat simple-minded, hisbat skills were upromising.


    In the van, Jin Yang''s secretary, having stopped the vehicle, was instantly hit and his face was beyond recognition. He hurriedly climbed down and started crawling toward the distance.


    Boom!


    No sooner had Jin Yang''s secretary moved five meters away than the van exploded behind him!


    At this scene, Jin Yang, who hadn''t yet crossed over, was stunned once again, "Damn it! Is Wang Fugui a fool? Does he really have a death wish?"


    "Young Master Jin... should we continue charging forward?"


    The driver in front of Jin Yang was so scared that his calves were trembling.


    Under the present circumstances, charging forward would be akin to courting death.


    "Charge my ass, if we don''t leave now, are you waiting to die?" Jin Yang said irritably as he tapped the driver''s head. Jin Yang had already sensed a super powerful Martial Arts Qi rapidly approaching.


    Across the street, arge convoy was nearing their location, most likely Ye Fan''s reinforcements!


    The driver, feeling like he had been granted a reprieve, wished he could floor the elerator into the gas tank as the vehicle sped away.


    Today, they had truly failed to deal with Ye Fan and Su Yixue; they could only look for another opportunity to actter, s!


    Although reluctant, all of Jin Yang''s men had died!


    Ding Dong!


    Jin Yang''s vehicle had only left a few hundred meters behind when his phone suddenly received a message, "Transfer one billion to Su Corporation immediately aspensation for President Su''s emotional distress, or else you''ll regret it!"


    Huh?


    Jin Yang felt a jolt in his heart!


    Was there another heavyweight behind Su Corporation who hadn''t made a move yet?


    Retribution wasing this fast?


    However, after a few seconds of contemtion, Jin Yang dismissed the message as insignificant. With the amount of spam nowadays, it was very likely just an intimidation attempt.


    But the next moment, Jin Yang''s bodyguard pointed at Jin Yang''s chest with a look of horror, "Young Master Jin, your chest... your chest..."


    "What about my chest?" Jin Yang, puzzled, looked down at his chest to see that several red dots had clustered there, as if targeted by a sniper!


    "Ah... this..." Jin Yang instantly tensed up, "Quick, drive the car under cover and hide!"


    Although Jin Yang wasn''t sure if the red dots meant he was being targeted by a sniper, he wasn''t willing to take that bet.


    If he lost the bet, it would mean his own life!


    Bang!


    While Jin Yang''s car was still moving, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from outside the window.


    The next moment, Jin Yang''s bodyguard was pierced through and killed on the spot!


    Ding Dong!


    Another message arrived on Jin Yang''s phone, "This time it was your bodyguard. This is thest warning; next time it will be your turn! Be wise!"

 Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Admit Defeat and Pay Up!

    "You might dodge once, but do you really think you can hide for a lifetime? Our people are everywhere, I''ll give you ten seconds to think!"


    As another text message came through, Jin Yang found that the red dot on his chest had multiplied,ing from different directions.


    Such a circumstance was very telling!


    That is to say, the people covertly protecting Ye Fan were not just one person, but many!


    Jin Yang''s heart pounded with shock. Wasn''t Ye Fan a fool?


    The Ye Family was clearly on the verge of copse, so where did they find so many people to protect Ye Fan?


    Jin Yang had already seen the strength of the opposition: as soon as they said they would take out his bodyguard, the next moment, the bodyguard was dead. If he showed any more negligence, he feared he would truly lose his life here.


    "I''ll pay�� I''ll pay the money, okay!"


    While talking, Jin Yang hurriedly got out of the car, raised his hands towards the void, then quickly took out his phone to call his father, "Dad! Save me, immediately wire ten billion to Su Corporation, someone''s got a sniper rifle pointed at me��"


    "You imbecile! Weren''t you going to fight for the production quota? Howe you''re being extorted for ten billion?" On the other end of the line, Jin Yang''s father was furious, "I''ve always reminded you to keep a low profile. You never listen, and look where that got you now?"


    "Dad! Please arrange the payment quickly, I only have ten seconds. If you''re anyter, you''ll be collecting your son''s body!" Jin Yang felt utterly wronged; in such a situation, his own father was still fussing��saving his life was urgent.


    "Fine! Fine! Fine! I''ll arrange the transfer immediately!" Jin Yang''s father had gained a sonter in life, and this son was exceptionally precious to him.


    Ten billion was indeed arge sum for the Jin Family, butpared to Jin Yang''s life, it was nothing.


    On the other end of the phone, Jin Yang''s father quickly arranged the transfer.


    The moment the transfer was confirmed, Jin Yang saw the red dots on his chest disappear.


    And with that, another text message arrived, "Behave yourself from now on. If you dare to find any trouble with Young Master Ye, President Su, or Su Corporation, we can take your life at any moment!"


    Looking at the message on his phone, Jin Yang''s face turned extremely gloomy.


    He knew he had been thoroughly nted this time.


    He had spent a great deal to import antiques from abroad, intending to earn the production quota from Yu Qiang. Not only did Su Corporation snatch the quota, but the assassination he arranged for Su Yixue and Ye Fan also failed, and on top of that, he paid ten billion in ''emotional damages'' to Su Corporation.


    Key point being, to this moment, Jin Yang had no clue who was covertly protecting Ye Fan and Su Yixue, or who was taking action against him��he waspletely in the dark!


    That is to say, even if the Jin Family sought answers from Su Corporation, they would have no leg to stand on.


    Because the ten billion transferred by the Jin Family was clearly marked as a voluntary donation,plete with a donation contract.


    "Damn it!" Jin Yang punched the seat hard, a shadow of darkness shing in his eyes.


    Su Yixue, that damn woman, and Ye Fan, that fool, definitely won''t let this slide.


    You just wait, if Laotzu can''t deal with you myself, I''ll find someone who can.


    I won''t let you have an easy end!


    ...


    Not far away, a young man who had been watching the excitement saw Jin Yang with his hands raised, surrendering outside the car, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Turning to his subordinates, he said, "See that? The Ye Family''s foundation is stronger than we imagined! So, don''t act rashly... Once you make a move, it has to be decisive. Leave them no chance!"


    "Yes! Young Master Ye is right. I will continue to arrange for people to follow and investigate, waiting for the opportunity!"


    "Go ahead!" The young man was very satisfied with his subordinate''s performance and waved his hand to dismiss him, while his gaze devilishly nced in the direction where Ye Fan was, muttering to himself, "Heh! Only someone like him is worthy to be my opponent, right? Things are finally getting interesting."


    As the young man looked toward Ye Fan, Ye Fan seemed to sense something and sharply turned his gaze toward the young man''s location.


    Releasing his powerful Martial Emperor Level perception, he found nothing unusual in that direction.


    However, Ye Fan''s sixth sense could clearly feel that something was off; there were definitely hidden masters in that area that he had not detected.


    It was this very sensation that made Ye Fan realize there were far too many strong figures in this world outside his own realm of knowledge, and he needed to keep striving for greater breakthroughs.


    His mother had left him so many techniques and supports, surely it was not just for him to vie for dominance over the Great Xia.


    Above Wandering Soul and even the Tianji Pavilion, there must be even more formidable beings.


    It was just that his current level was not sufficient to make contact, that''s all!


    "It''s fine now! The other car, let him get away quick!" Wang Fugui had directly smashed one of the cars and initially nned to smash the other one as well. But Jin Yang ran quite fast, and Wang Fugui was also concerned about Ye Fan and Su Yixue possibly being attacked from other quarters, so he gave up on the pursuit.


    Wang Fugui''s intelligence couldn''t detect that, in fact, there were others secretly helping to block today''s assassination.


    As Wang Fugui drove towards Su Corporation, Ye Fan pondered in his head all the trouble Su Corporation was facing, and he had already helped resolve quite a bit of it.


    Who was behind today''s surreptitious actions?


    But now, with numerous super organizations and family powers standing behind him and the trump cards his mother left him, Ye Fan was not so anxious anymore.


    He now had the capital topete in strength with those people!

    ...


    Just as the car ident in Cloud City had concluded, Ren Xueying, on her way back to Provincial City, encountered another bizarre car crash!


    Ren Xueying bought an authentic ancient painting in Cloud City, and had also met a man to her liking, feeling very happy, she was driving back to Provincial City with her maid, nning to organize her grandfather''s uing birthday banquet.


    But as soon as her vehicle left the highway and entered the Flower Capital, Provincial City, her car ran into trouble at an intersection.


    At one intersection, from four different directions, four heavy trucks simultaneously headed towards Ren Xueying''s sedan for a collision.


    Despite Ren Xueying driving by the book in ordance with traffic lights, her car was instantly surrounded 360 degrees, no blind spots, by four heavy trucks that brutally smashed into it.


    Those heavy trucks were loaded with stones and weighed heavily; if the collision was solid, Ren Xueying''s small sedan would likely be crushed into a metal pancake!


    "Damn it! Have they be so brazen?" Seeing the situation before her, Ren Xueying cursed. In her heart, she could probably guess who was making a move, but she did not expect they would dare to be so audacious as to attack her in broad daylight in the Flower Capital!


    Boom! Boom!


    The four trucks crashed mercilessly onto Ren Xueying''s sedan, squeezing it into a lump of scrap metal, leaving Ren Xueying with no chance to evade or flee...

 Chapter 97 Hero Saves the Beauty!

    "Call the police! Call 120 for an ambnce!"


    "s! It''s probably no use calling an ambnce now, right? Didn''t you see the car was so smashed up it''s turned into a pile of scrap metal, how could anyone still be alive?"


    "What a pity, I saw just now, there were two young girls driving, gone so young!"


    ...


    At the scene of such a horrific ident, arge crowd quickly gathered. The elderly folks among them sighed and some even wanted to step forward to help.


    From the four heavy trucks, several drivers with alcohol bottles staggered off the vehicles, then simply copsed onto the ground, showing no intention of fleeing.


    Clearly, the person who nned this operation knew thew well. Drunk driving resulting in death would only result in a couple of years in prison, with no death penalty!


    In the crowd, several young men wearing sunsses stepped forward to inspect. Seeing the car in such a state, they quietly took a couple of photos, then quickly blended into the back of the crowd and dialed an encrypted phone number.


    "Boss, you saw the photos, right? Four heavy trucks have smashed Ren Xueying''s car into that state, she definitely couldn''t have survived! To avoid exposure, we''re pulling out now!"


    "Good!"


    Just as those young men were retreating, the car in the middle of the four heavy trucks that had been hit into scrap suddenly moved a little.


    Then, with several heavy kicks from the inside, a door was kicked open.


    Next, a deformed car door was opened from the inside. Ren Xueying and her maid, Xiao Qing, stumbled out from the car, their heads still a little dazed.


    Maid Xiao Qing had a gash on her forehead, notrge, and the bleeding had already stopped.


    Ren Xueying, however, didn''t have a single scratch on her body, not even a broken skin.


    After being stunned for a few seconds, Ren Xueying looked at her car in disbelief.


    The entire car had been hit until there was not a single intact spot, all shattered into fragments.


    But only the space in front of and behind the driver''s seat was left unharmed, just wide enough for Xiao Qing, who was driving, and Ren Xueying, who was sitting in the back, to safely avoid the impact.


    How could this be possible?


    Ren Xueying frowned and contemted the scene before her. Even the co-driver''s seat was smashed, yet the driver''s seat was left in such good condition?


    This didn''t make sense!


    "Miss, this..." Xiao Qing, standing beside her, also saw the situation and sensed something very abnormal.


    Ren Xueying was still pondering when she suddenly felt a burning pain on her wrist. She looked down at her wrist and was instantly stunned.


    She saw that the bracelet on Ren Xueying''s wrist, which had originally been emerald green, had now turnedpletely ck and charred.


    The intense burning sensation wasing right from the location of the bracelet.


    Ren Xueying, somewhat puzzled, reached out to touch the bracelet on her wrist. In the next moment, the now ckened bracelet turned into a pile of ashes and dissipated with the wind. On the skin of Ren Xueying''s wrist was left a circle of mysterious patterns, which flickered with flowing light, rippled a few times, and then vanished.


    Ren Xueying was sharp and quick-witted. After pondering for a few seconds, she instantly understood!


    "It''s him!" Ren Xueying thought back to the time in Cloud City when Ye Fan took the bracelet from her wrist and quickly carved something on it.


    Was it possible that Ye Fan had been carving these patterns onto her bracelet at that time?


    It must be so!


    Ren Xueying came from a powerful family, with ess to far more resources than the average person. She was well aware that there existed a certain kind of people in the world called Talisman Masters, capable of carving special patterns that could y crucial roles in critical moments.


    And Ye Fan was definitely one of them!


    "Miss, who was it? The handsome guy from Cloud City?" The maid beside her asked, confused. Upon seeing Ren Xueying''s expression, she immediately guessed the situation, "He saved the miss''s life. With such a great favor, the miss has no way to repay him except to pledge herself to him... giggling..."


    The maid teased, and they both erupted inughter, feeling the joy of having survived a disaster.


    Though Ren Xueying verbally refuted Xiao Qing, her heart was filled with sweetness.


    Was this the mystery of fate?


    Allowing her to meet that big brother again and develop so many connections with him?


    However, thinking of today''s assassination, Ren Xueying''s face grew dark, "Those people, too arrogant. They dare to be so presumptuous! Grandfather is not dead yet... Hmm..."


    After a slight hesitation, Ren Xueying dialed her grandfather''s number, "Grandfather, I encountered an attack in Flower Capital! Someone wants me dead; send someone over here immediately!"


    ...


    In Cloud City, Ye Fan was still on his way to Su Corporation when he suddenly noticed a mark on his hand changing, and he couldn''t help but smile slightly!


    Has Ren Xueying''s disaster struck so soon?


    The peace charm had taken effect so quickly, but from what he sensed, Ren Xueying wasn''t in danger of losing her life!


    That was good!


    Just as Ye Fan withdrew his thoughts, he received a message from Guo Li on his phone.


    "Brother Fan, Elder Pang has sent information. The Liu Family from Provincial City has started to move again. Liu Hao, the son of Liu Ran, has personallye to Su Corporation. It is said he is here to enforce a contract drunkenly signed by Su Family''s second master. If not handled properly, the whole Su Corporation might be at stake!" Discover exclusive tales on m,v l''e-NovelBin


    "However, Elder Pang discovered a secret about Liu Hao when investigating the Liu Family. Liu Hao, though ruthless, holds deep love for his mother, but she died from a fall when he was in his teens. Liu Hao has been investigating the truth... The real truth, however, is that his father, due to the interest of a big shot within the Holy Envoy Organization in Liu Ran''s wife, personally delivered his wife to the big shot''s bed..."


    "Liu Hao once publicly stated that if anyone could find the culprit behind his mother''s death, he would be willing to give up his life in exchange for assistance in revenge after the fact. I''ve sent the relevant evidence to Brother Fan''s email!"


    Ye Fan looked at the text message on his phone, a smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.


    This Liu Ran is truly ruthless, willing to sacrifice even his own wife for the development of the Liu Family.


    If Liu Hao discovers the truth, the Liu Family is going to be in an uproar.


    Father and son turning swords against each other, huh! Interesting!


    With the Liu Family so desperately controlling the Zhao Family, the Li Family, and the Wang Family to deal with the Ye Family, they deserve their tragic fate.


    Having what Liu Hao needed, Ye Fan instantly thought of a n to deal with Liu Hao.


    "Yixue, my wife, let me apany you to thepany. Perhaps I can be of some help with thepany''s affairs?" Ye Fan tenderly hugged Su Yixue''s arm, resting his head on her shoulder.


    After hesitating for two seconds, Su Yixue thought about Ye Fan''s previous actions and nodded, "Okay!"


    Although Ye Fan was currently in a state of intellectual disability, he mentioned back at the antique street that he seemed to have remembered something, with his intelligence rapidly recovering.


    Before, Ye Fan''s intelligence had remained around that of a seven- or eight-year-old, but now it should at least be that of a teenager, right?


    Before his car ident, Ye Fan umted so many connections, who knows, he might actuallye in handy...

 Chapter 98 Whoever Calls Me an Idiot, Just Beat the Crap Out of Them!

    At Su Corporation, a crowd of executives gathered in the conference room, watching tensely as a young man at the head of the table presided over the meeting.


    That young man was none other than Liu Hao from the Liu Family of Provincial City!


    "Everyone has seen it clearly, this is the wagering contract signed by Su Minghao, the second master and President Su, on behalf of Su Corporation with my Liu Family. At the time, the Liu Family invested a billion in Su Corporation. In return, Su Corporation needed to expand its scale, breaking through a hundred billion in total production value within three years and achieving over 50% market share. If they failed to meet these terms, the Liu Family would take full control of Su Corporation!"


    "Moreover, ording to the terms of the contract, it''s not just Su Corporation''s assets that have to be transferred to the Liu Family, but also, as inly stated in the additional conditions, the core disciples of the Su Family must follow the arrangements of the Liu Family! Meaning, if I, Liu Hao, take a fancy to any woman from the Su Family, they must serve me unconditionally! This contract has been notarized with the stamp of the Great Xia Martial Arts Alliance, you have no grounds for doubt!"


    "I''ve looked into it, and over the past few years, Su Corporation''s scale has only reached several billion; obviously, they have not met the target. It''s about time for Liu Family to prepare to take over Su Corporation. As for you all, better get the transfer contract ready and then think about how to assist me in running Su Corporation!"


    Liu Hao sat at the head of the table, a look of smug satisfaction on his face!


    With that contract in hand, could Liu Hao not easily pinch the Su Family?


    Once he had the Su Family in his grasp and caused them to suffer a setback, it would be a statement to those above. Those who move against the Ye Family need to let others see the miserable oue of helping them.


    "Young Master Liu, the authenticity of the contract you mentioned cannot be verified for the time being! Besides, President Su is not at thepany right now, and we can''t execute yourmands!" Thepany''s senior executives still held strong support for Su Yixue.


    Even though the contract had thepany stamp on it, nobody nned on following Liu Hao''s orders.


    "Hehe! Dragging this out has no meaning. When the Su Family aligned with the Ye Family, they should have anticipated their own fate!" Liu Hao coldly rebuked, and was about to continue speaking when the conference room door opened from the outside.


    Su Yixue and Ye Fan, along with Wang Fugui, pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Liu Hao, Su Yixue could not help but berate him, "Liu Hao, you are despicable! You very well know that the contract was signed by my drunk uncle back then. We discussed this matter before, and it was explicitly agreed that the contract was voided. What are you trying to do by bringing it up now?"


    With the arrival of Su Yixue, those high-level executives from Su Corporation instantly breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found their backbone.


    "Hehe! What am I trying to do? Isn''t it obvious? I may not care about those assets of Su Corporation... but President Su, your exquisite figure, that''s something I''d really like to try out�� After all, that''s what the contract stiptes, and you don''t have the right to refuse! Otherwise, the entire Su Family would be hunted down by the Martial Alliance, you understand that, don''t you?"


    Liu Hao''s gaze roamed Su Yixue''s body without restraint, as if wishing his gaze alone could strip her bare.


    His invasive stare made Su Yixue feel very ufortable.


    Standing next to Su Yixue, Ye Fan moved slightly to stand in front of her, gently grasping her wrist and whispering, "Wife, don''t be afraid! I''m here."


    Although it was just a gentle sentence, it sent a tremor through Su Yixue''s heart.


    Had Ye Fan really grown up?


    Did he know how to protect his wife now?


    Even with just this soft whisper, Su Yixue felt an intense sense of security.


    Liu Hao''s move against Su Corporation was originally aimed at Ye Fan, and seeing Ye Fan stepping forward, a look of disdain shed across his face, "Is this the Ye Family''s fool, an idiot? Such a beautiful woman, married to you, what a waste�� Do you even know how to sleep with her at night? Why don''t we find a hotel, and I can give you a live tutorial?"


    A mischievous glint appeared in Liu Hao''s eyes as he stared intently at Su Yixue.


    He had coveted Su Yixue''s stunning figure for a long time. To have her beneath him would undoubtedly be incredibly pleasurable.


    "Get off my wife''s seat!" Ye Fan stepped forward, grabbed Liu Hao by the neck, and forcibly dragged him aside, "And another thing, my wife said that anyone who dares to call me a fool will get the shit beaten out of them!"


    p!


    Without any hesitation, Ye Fan swung his arm and pped Liu Hao hard across the face.


    Liu Hao''s left cheek instantly bore the clear imprint of five fingers, swelling up on one side.


    "Ah! Damn it, you dare hit me? Do you even deserve to hit me?" Liu Hao, in pain, jumped up and down on the spot in disbelief.


    While howling, he turned to look at an elder in gray robes beside him, "Uncle Wang, what''s going on here?"


    Before setting off, Liu Hao had heard some things about Ye Fan and knew he was not to be trifled with, which is why he had brought the strongest bodyguard from his household.


    Uncle Wang was close to reaching the Martial Venerable Realm, and he had a certain reputation in the Southwestern Region.


    Based on past experiences, if someone was going toy a hand on him, Uncle Wang would intercept their movements before they even started, right?


    So why did Uncle Wang let Ye Fan seed today?


    "Young Master Liu, this Ye Fan is somewhat odd! His movements... too fast, I simply didn''t detect it just now... Young Master Liu, it would be wise to be cautious!" The gray-robed elder''s face was solemn, his eyes full of vignce toward Ye Fan.


    As a Martial Arts Expert, he was acutely aware of just how fast Ye Fan moved.


    Even with his Grandmaster Peak abilities, he was unable to see how Ye Fan made his move. Such a level of skill, at the very least, had to be above the Martial Venerable Realm, certainly beyond what he could contend with.


    Now Uncle Wang understood why the experts from the Northwest who came with so many highly skilled fighters all fell at the Ye Family.


    Wandering Soul lending a hand was one factor, but without Wandering Soul''s help, would the experts from the Northwest really have been able to annihte the Ye Family?


    Experience tales at m v|l e''-NovelBin


    Probably not!


    Fortunately,ing to Cloud City today wasn''t about a show of force!


    Liu Hao''s visit was mainly to create trouble with the legal contract from the Martial Alliance.


    Although Liu Hao was a rich second-generation, he was not foolish. He understood exactly what Uncle Wang meant, a hint not to go head-to-head with Ye Fan.


    After all, everyone knew Ye Fan was just a fool; if he were killed by a fool, it would be an utterly senseless death!


    Seeing that Ye Fan seemed ready to continue the assault, Liu Hao hastily called him to a halt, "Wait a second! I didn''te here to fight. Setting other matters aside, the contract between the Su Corporation and the Liu Family is legitimate... I am here today to take over the Su Corporation, and by the way, all members of the Su Family are to serve the Liu Family as ves... This contract is validated by the Great Xia Martial Arts Alliance, surely you wouldn''t dare to vite it, right?"


    While speaking, Liu Hao nced at two other middle-aged men and women beside him, representatives from the Martial Alliance.


    "Yes, everyone! We are here on behalf of the Great Xia Martial Arts Alliance to testify that the contract is valid and the signing process was legal andpliant! If one party fails toply, our Martial Alliance will investigate thoroughly!"

 Chapter 99 Instantly Kowtow and Fawn Over Ye Fan!

    The influence of the Martial Alliance, within the Great Xia Realm, was even higher than that of the official authorities!


    In an era that revered martial prowess, Martial Arts were above all else!


    The officials might have to abide by some rules in their dealings, but the methods of the Martial Alliance could be much cruder, treating life and death with indifference, not hesitating to resort to violence if met with resistance!


    There had been many examples of those who had gone against the will of the Martial Alliance and opposed them. Without exception, all had met with dire oues.


    As soon as the two representatives from the Martial Alliance spoke, the entire ce fell silent, with all the core senior executives from the Su Corporation rendered speechless, and a somber mood filled the room.


    With the Martial Alliance stepping in, how could the powerful Su Corporation dare to contend with them?


    The Ye Family was in decline as well, had it been during their heyday, perhaps they might have been able to wrestle with the situation, but now...


    Moreover, Ye Fan was just a fool. Did he even know how to confront the Martial Alliance?

    Observing the atmosphere on the scene, Liu Hao was very satisfied, looking smugly at Ye Fan and Su Yixue, "Ye Fan, I know you were a genius five years ago, but now you''re just a fool. What if you can fight? The Ye Family has fallen... Such a beautiful woman, you don''t deserve her, your wife is destined to be my woman... What can you do to me?"


    "If you kill me, the Martial Alliance will definitely not let you go!"


    Liu Hao was also emboldened by having the Martial Alliance as his amulet; that''s why he dared toe to Cloud City.


    p!


    Before Liu Hao''s words had even finished, Ye Fan struck again, delivering another fierce p to Liu Hao''s right face!


    Five finger marks appeared once more!


    Now, symmetric swelling emerged on Liu Hao''s face, which started to swell like a pig''s head, his eyes nearly squinting shut.


    Uncle Wang next to him instinctively prepared to intercept, but before he could even lift his wrist, Ye Fan''s attack was alreadyplete. He had no chance to protect Liu Hao at all.


    Quick!


    Too quick!


    Beads of sweat streamed down Uncle Wang''s forehead as he looked at Ye Fan with fear, internally eximing.


    Was this the power of a genius prodigy?


    With just a minor effort, he couldn''t even touch a hair on the opponent?


    If Ye Fan wanted to kill everyone present today, it was likely that no one could stop him, right?


    What Uncle Wang didn''t realize was that he was underestimating the situation... Ye Fan already possessed the strength of the Martial Emperor Realm; if Ye Fan used his full power, not to mention the people present, there were only a handful of people throughout the entire Great Xia who could contend with Ye Fan!


    "Motherfucker... do you have a death wish..." Liu Hao opened his mouth, ready to curse Ye Fan out.


    Being pped by Ye Fan once could be exined away as an ident, but being pped twice was definitely not as simple as an ident.


    Ye Fan was truly powerful!


    Therefore, the curse words Liu Hao had in his mouth were forcibly swallowed back down.


    Liu Hao turned his gaze toward the representatives from the Martial Alliance. Those two representatives of the Martial Alliance had received benefits from Liu Hao, so they naturally had to speak up for him, "Ye Fan, Young Master Liu is here today to discuss the contract and takeover of the Su Corporation. If you make another move, our Martial Alliance will have to intervene!"


    "For business matters, we still hope that everyone can resolve them using business methods!"


    Su Yixue also sighed deeply and reached out to tug at Ye Fan''s sleeve, "Xiao Fan, calm down, let''s sit down and have a good talk!"


    Ye Fan said indifferently, "What is there to talk about with this kind of person?"


    As his words fell, Ye Fan quickly walked towards Liu Hao.


    "You... what do you want to do?" After being pped twice in a row, Liu Hao was already frightened. Seeing Ye Fan approaching, his voice trembled, and he instinctively wanted to step back.


    Ye Fan''s mouth twitched slightly, "Nothing much, I want to make a deal with you!"


    As he spoke, Ye Fan turned on his smartphone and opened the files sent by Guo Li, which showed some video material of Liu Hao''s mother jumping off a building. Behind Liu Hao''s mother, the figure of a man shed by.


    Liu Hao hadn''t seen it clearly before Ye Fan put the phone away.


    But at this moment, Liu Hao''s pupils had already dted with shock, "You... how do you have this video? Do you know the truth about my mother''s death? Please... tell me... I beg you... I''ll do anything you ask..."


    Liu Hao''s attitude changed in an instant, aplete turnaround from his arrogant demeanor earlier. He grabbed Ye Fan''s arm and shook it incessantly.


    Over the years, Liu Hao had spent a lot of effort and energy to investigate the truth behind his mother''s death.


    Opposite the building from which his mother had jumped, there had been a surveince camera. However, Liu Hao had looked into it many times and was always told that the surveince camera was broken at the time, preventing him from obtaining any footage.


    Why then did Ye Fan have this surveince footage?


    Wasn''t Ye Fan considered a fool? How did he manage to grasp Liu Hao''s most vulnerable spot so quickly?


    However, at this point, Liu Hao had no mind to ponder these things. He was eager to find out who the killer that caused his mother''s death really was. He wanted revenge for his mother!


    Anybody who dared harm his mother, Liu Hao would never let them off the hook!


    "You know very well what I need you to do," Ye Fan put away his phone and looked at Liu Hao indifferently.


    Liu Hao was startled, then quickly understood, "I''ll cancel it, I''ll cancel this contract and will no longer pursue any responsibility from the Su Corporation!"


    Without any hesitation, Liu Hao had his subordinate bring over the briefcase with the code lock, then he took out the three stamped contracts from it, disyed them in front of Ye Fan, and then handed them over respectfully, "Young Master Ye, you may dispose of the contracts as you please!"


    "Are there no other copies?" Ye Fan''s brow twitched slightly as he stared intently at Liu Hao.


    Liu Hao''s head shook like a bobblehead, "No more! All the originals are here... Young Master Ye, rest assured, even if there were any, I wouldn''t pursue it... If Young Master Ye insists, I, on behalf of the Liu Group, will sign a release of liability contract on the spot..."


    Fearing that Ye Fan wouldn''t believe him, Liu Hao had his secretary draft a release of liability contract right there and then, personally signed it, stamped it, and handed it over to Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan handed the stamped contract and the previously signed contract to Su Yixue, "Wife, check the contracts, see if there''s anything wrong with them!"


    Su Yixue, looking at the contracts in her hand, waspletely stunned!


    This...


    What kind of magic power does Ye Fan have?


    It was like that when he retrieved the production quota from Yu Qiang, simply having Wang Fugui return the antique, and Yu Qiang agreed. And now, dealing with Liu Hao, Ye Fan just whispered a few words to Liu Hao, and he became so docile?


    "No problems! Uncle also said that there were only three copies of the contract originally, and all are here now!"


    After receiving the affirmative response from Su Yixue, Ye Fan unlocked his phone and said to Liu Hao, "Give me your email, and I will send you all the data! However, I''ll say this in advance, you''ll have to judge the truth of the matter for yourself! And another friendly reminder, before you discover the truth, you better be psychologically prepared!"

 Chapter 100: Chapter 100 I made a deal with him!

    Prepare myself mentally?


    What does this mean?


    Liu Hao''s mind was still somewhat puzzled, but when he opened the documents Ye Fan had sent him in the email and read a few lines, he suddenly jumped up in agitation, "No... it can''t be... This is absolutely impossible... How could my father do this? Ye Fan, are you making up some fake information to deceive me?"


    The data Elder Pang had sent was very detailed, exining how Liu Ran came into contact with the Holy Envoys, how the Holy Envoy''s boss took a fancy to Liu Hao''s mother, how Liu Ran had private conversations with Liu Hao''s mother, and tried to persuade her...


    Even the hotel room''s mirror captured the presence of his father!


    That is to say, his father was at the scene when his mother was insulted!


    Every step of the process was exined in detail, supported by some video evidence.


    At first, Liu Hao was very agitated and wanted to argue with Ye Fan.


    Butter on, as he saw the video evidence, Liu Hao gradually calmed down.


    The data Liu Hao had investigated previously, in many ways, pointed to his own father... It was just that, at the time, the key evidence was missing, and Liu Hao also did not believe that his father, for the sake of power, would send his own wife to another man''s bed, so he simply refused to believe it!


    And now, the clues and evidences provided by Ye Fan perfectly filled in the missing key evidence from Liu Hao''s previous investigations, making all the pieces fit together logically!


    It all finally pointed to a fact that Liu Hao was very unwilling to believe, but had to ept.


    It was truly his father, Liu Ran, who had drugged his mother to render her unconscious and then delivered her to the bed of that Holy Envoy Organization boss. Being vited and regaining consciousness, she couldn''t bear the humiliation and jumped directly from the 18th floor.


    "Ah... damn it..."


    Afterpiling all the information, Liu Hao was nearly on the verge of copse.


    One was his most beloved mother, and the other was his most respected father. Liu Hao had never thought that his father would actually do such a thing.


    It''s all the Holy Envoy Organization''s doing!


    Back then, when his father wanted to join the Holy Envoy Organization and serve the Holy Envoys, many people in the family opposed it, but his father wouldn''t listen. He gradually ousted those family members from core positions, and eventually, the Liu Family in the Provincial City, such a huge family, ended up as a vassal to the Holy Envoy Organization.


    "Ye Fan, no matter what your motive is for telling me this information, I still thank you. At least now I know the truth of what happened... I will definitely take my revenge! Perhaps we will have a chance to work together in the future!"


    Liu Hao gave Ye Fan a deep look, called for Uncle Wang, and quickly left the Su Corporation meeting room.


    Liu Hao had risen swiftly within the Liu Group, already vaguely set to take over his father''s position.


    For Liu Hao to deal with Liu Ran, not much of a problem.


    But the one who directly caused the death of Liu Hao''s mother was that Holy Envoy Organization boss. To avenge his mother, Liu Hao had to find that guy and kill him.


    But, after so many years, through his father, Liu Hao hade to vaguely understand that the power behind the Holy Envoy Organization was immense. It wouldn''t be an easy task to find that boss and eliminate him.


    His power alone was simply no match against the Holy Envoy Organization.


    Even if the entire Liu Family took action, it wouldn''t be enough!


    Liu Hao needed allies!


    And behind Ye Fan, there was also the Ye Family... With Ye Fan''s current strength and IQ appearing to be awakening, naturally, he was the best choice for an ally.


    Liu Hao even had a sharp feeling that besides the Ye Family, there seemed to be another powerful force secretly supporting Ye Fan.


    That force was able to contend with the Holy Envoy Organization.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    After Liu Hao left, the meeting room of the Su Corporation instantly erupted into chaos!


    "That''s it, resolved? That was a contract certified fair by the representatives of the Martial Alliance... Young Master Liu actually just canceled it?"


    "Yes! The Su Corporation has nearly ten billion in assets, what tactics did Young Master Ye use to make Liu Hao so readily give up?"


    "The Ye Family really is something; even if Ye Fan is just a fool, his influence is still strong! Maybe President Su''s decision was the right one!"


    While everyone was discussing, their eyes were fervently fixed on Ye Fan.


    In fact, while everyone was puzzled, Su Yixue was also quite confused, what exactly did Ye Fan do?


    "Brother Fan? What exactly happened?" Su Yixue was holding the contract in her hand��all three original copies were here, and now, just by shredding these contracts in the paper shredder, the threat to the Su Corporation would be eliminated.


    The Su Corporation had beencking a medical form, although it was Lei Qianjue who contributed the form, Su Yixue now felt that the form must have been given to Lei Qianjue by Ye Fan.


    After all, although Lei Qianjue was the Great Xia Medical Saint, such a miraculous Beauty Nourishing Cream��if Lei Qianjue had known the form all along, he should have contributed it long ago. Why would he wait until now to exclusively authorize it to the Su Corporation?


    The Su Corporation was short on capital, yet just a moment ago, Su Yixue already received the news from the finance department that the Jin Family, having plotted an assassination against Su Yixue and Ye Fan, voluntarilypensated ten billion for mental anguish and��there was also support from Provincial City''s Yun Feiyang, Guo Li, and Xia Hao, as well as the secret backing of Elder Pang.


    The Su Family had the capital it needed, it had the medical form, and now production quotas were secured as well.


    No one could stop the future development of the Su Corporation!


    The past conflicts of the Su Corporation with the Li Family and the Liu Family in the Provincial City were actually the Ye Family contending with those hidden forces against the Ye Family in secret... Now it seems that those opponents of the Ye Family were temporarily unable to suppress the prominence of the Ye Family.


    Most of the core disciples of Ye Fan had already died, leaving behind Ye Fan, the fool... But besides Ye Fan, who else could have such powerful means to secretly n all this?


    "I made a deal with Liu Hao! I think, very soon, the Liu Family of Provincial City is going to be in an uproar. Let''s just sit back and enjoy the drama!" Ye Fan smirked wickedly, and before Su Yixue could continue asking anything, Ye Fan had reverted to his foolish expression, "I''m hungry, I want to eat, Old Wang, take me out to eat, I want ice cream!"


    The Su Corporation had encountered some problems, but Ye Fan had already helped to resolve them, allowing the Su Corporation to catch a break for the time being.


    Having dealt with Chu Feng and caused such hefty losses to those assassins, they certainly wouldn''t let things rest and were sure to have follow-up moves.


    But Ye Fan had inherited the assassins within the Ye Family and the Wandering Spirits Organization left by his mother... Ye Fan had decided not to wait for enemies toe knocking but to take the initiative instead!


    However, Ye Fan couldn''t fully reveal himself just yet, and the specific ns had to be carried out by Guo Li, Xia Hao, Yu Qiang, and others...

 Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Arent You Going to Help Someone Whos About to Fall Down?【Extra】

    Seeing Ye Fan suddenly revert to such a state, Su Yixue felt somewhat helpless!


    But her heart was already filled with joy, for at least now Ye Fan had moments of lucidity, and a full recovery should only be a matter of time.


    "Fugui, I still have to deal withpany business, you help take Brother Fan out for a meal first!" Su Yixue kissed Ye Fan gently on the face and said warmly, "Come back home early tonight!"


    By now, Su Yixue also knew that there were other powers secretly protecting Ye Fan.


    Such a horrendous car ident had been blocked by those bodyguards; ordinary assassins probably couldn''t hurt Ye Fan, so she felt reassured letting Wang Fugui take Ye Fan away.


    No sooner had Ye Fan and Wang Fugui left the Su Corporation''s main entrance than a red BMW stopped in front of Ye Fan, and a beautiful woman in a sexy long dress got out and walked towards Ye Fan with graceful steps.


    "Brother Fan!"


    It was none other than Xuan Yufei, the one who had broken off their engagement at the Ye Family funeral.


    Today, Xuan Yufei had evidently dressed up specially, even applying a bit of lipstick, making her appear wild and alluring.


    Seeing Xuan Yufei appear, Ye Fan felt mixed emotions.


    Concerning his first love and childhood sweetheart, it hurt Ye Fan deeply when, at the funeral, Xuan Zhengguo had made an announcement and Xuan Yufei had gone along with it.


    But after all, she was his first love, and forgetting herpletely was not so easy.


    "I want to apologize to Brother Fan again. The breaking off of our engagement was my second uncle''s unteral decision... In that situation, with my father critically ill and the need to consider the family''s development, many things left me truly helpless... Now, I''ve driven my second uncle out of the family... Brother Fan, could you give me another chance?"


    Now, Xuan Yufei deeply regretted everything. In just a few days, the Li Family, the Zhao Family, and the Wang Family, who had opposed the Ye Family, had all beenpletely destroyed.


    And within the Ye Family, Xu Jian and his son, who had been close to taking control, had also suddenly disappeared.


    That is to say, the Ye Family was now entirely under Ye Fan''s control.


    How could this possibly be aplished by a fool?


    Xuan Yufei was 60 percent sure that Ye Fan was feigning stupidity, baffling everyone while stealthily eliminating the Ye Family''s opponents!


    Thinking of this made Xuan Yufei want to p herself.


    She had grown up with Ye Fan; she should have been the clearest about his talents.


    Such a monstrous genius, unharmed in a car ident, affected only in intelligence? That was simply unscientific, wasn''t it?


    Only, Ye Fan had been ying the fool for five years, he must have foreseen today''s scenario long ago!


    Continue reading on m_v--NovelBin


    Poor herself, foolishly agreeing to her second uncle''s demand to break off the engagement, she did so in front of so many people against the Ye Family.


    Her behavior,pared to Yu Linglong and Su Yixue''s, was truly more disheartening.


    But aftering to terms with everything, Xuan Yufei still couldn''t bear to give up on Ye Fan, so she kept looking for opportunities to be alone with him, praying for his forgiveness!


    Looking at the beauty before him, Ye Fan sighed deeply!


    A chance?


    There was only one, and Xuan Yufei had already missed it. Returning to the past was not so simple.


    "There are no more chances! I already have a wife, you already rejected me, so whye looking for me?" Ye Fan looked at Xuan Yufei, his tone carrying a hint ofint.


    Huh?


    Listening to Ye Fan''s words, even Wang Fugui, no matter how slow, could hear that Ye Fan''s tone seemed to be getting normal.


    Had the big brother be lucid?


    Why did it feel like the big brother was really different than before?


    It seemed his sixth sense was urate!


    But when faced withplex emotional issues, Wang Fugui felt quite the headache, and was even more at a loss for how to get involved.


    After all, during their childhood days of growing up together, Xuan Yufei, Wang Fugui, and Ye Fan often yed with each other.


    "Brother Fan, I was wrong... Ouch, I twisted my ankle..." As Xuan Yufei approached Ye Fan, her body suddenly stumbled, and she almost fell onto the ground beside her.


    If it had been earlier, Ye Fan would have stepped forward to catch Xuan Yufei the moment he saw her stumble.


    But this time, even though Ye Fan saw her, he calmly stood in ce, just watching as Xuan Yufei nearly fell to the ground.


    Being skilled in martial arts, Xuan Yufei naturally wouldn''t really fall to the ground.


    She did this just to test Ye Fan out!


    Just as she was about to fall, Xuan Yufei stood up again and said reproachfully to Ye Fan, "Brother Fan, even if you''ve fallen out of love, couldn''t you lend a hand when you see someone about to fall?"


    While reproaching him, Xuan Yufei felt her heart was in great pain.


    Everything could no longer return to how it was before!


    In the past, if she was tired, Ye Fan would crouch down and offer to carry her on his back. If she was thirsty, Ye Fan would immediately buy her water... Even if she was just walking on the street, Ye Fan would always thoughtfully stay by her side to protect her.


    Now the feelings had indeed faded!


    Tears started to swirl in Xuan Yufei''s eyes��it was all caused by her own foolishness.


    Was there no chance for her to make amends now?


    What else should she do?


    As a girl, was she supposed to strip naked and climb into Ye Fan''s bed?


    If Ye Fan was sober, and if they slept together, maybe Ye Fan might acknowledge it.


    But what Ye Fan''s current state was, Xuan Yufei wasn''t sure.


    What if Ye Fan slept with her and then refused to acknowledge it��what would she be considered then?


    Just as Xuan Yufei was wallowing in depression, Ye Fan suddenly spoke, "I''m hungry, Princess Yu, are you hungry? If you are, shall we go have a meal together?"


    Ye Fan''s heart softened after all, not willing to see his childhood sweetheart so dejected, he still extended the invitation to Xuan Yufei.


    Thest time, Xuan Yufei had proactively invited him to Su Yixue''s celebration party. At that time, Ye Fan had refused out of spite, but now he had relented.


    "Ah? Really? I''m hungry, I''m really hungry... Let''s go..." Xuan Yufei''s mood, which had been at rock bottom just moments ago, improved considerably in an instant.


    Almost instinctively, Xuan Yufei quickened her pace, walked up to Ye Fan, hooked her arm around his, and headed toward her BMW.


    Ye Fan wanted to struggle free but eventually didn''t say anything after seeing the hopeful look in Xuan Yufei''s eyes.


    Standing to the side and watching their interaction, Wang Fugui, though somewhat slow-witted, showed understanding at this moment, turning to walk toward his own vehicle while sighing deeply, "Sigh! These two... are really star-crossed..."


    Inside the BMW, Xuan Yufei was somewhat excited, her hands shaking as she drove.


    She didn''t realize how to cherish the time when Ye Fan was always by her side. Now that she had lost him, she understood the importance of cherishing him.


    "Brother Fan, I really understand that I was wrong. I shouldn''t have hurt you back then, I shouldn''t have been so foolish! I don''t want to lose you, we''ve been through so much together... I know you won''t forgive me easily for now, but I will work even harder, striving to win your forgiveness..."


    In the BMW, Xuan Yufei kept muttering to Ye Fan, apologizing and exining!


    And unbeknownst to them, not far away, a van was quietly watching them.


    "Dammit! Why is this so infuriating, that fool from the Ye Family has followed into Xuan Yufei''s car, are we still supposed to take action?"


    [ps: Those who have read up to here are true fans. Could I ask for a rmendation vote and a monthly vote, please! Support Teacher Cang!]

 Chapter 102 Big Brother, Why Do I Feel Like Im Being Stalked by a Poisonous Snake?

    "Lift a finger? Are you out of your mind? Don''t you know thattely, families in Cloud City who have moved against the Ye Family have met with bad ends? If you want to die early, don''t drag us into it!"


    Inside the van, several men in ck suits were arguing with each other.


    "But the task handed down from above has today as its final deadline, doesn''t it? We''re supposed to test out Princess Yu''s true strength. If we can''tplete the task, how will we exin ourselves to the higher-ups?"


    "Wait until tonight. That idiot from the Ye Family won''t always be with Princess Yu. Once she''s alone, that''s when we''ll make our move! Hurry up and follow them, don''t lose track!"


    The men whispered among themselves, unaware that Ye Fan in the car ahead could hear their conversation loud and clear.


    Ye Fan had invited Xuan Yufei not only out of a soft heart but more importantly, because he had noticed that she was being followed.


    It seemed that someone was nning harm against Xuan Yufei!


    Although there were problems between them now, Ye Fan did not want to see anything happen to Xuan Yufei!


    Hence, inviting Xuan Yufei was a way of indirectly protecting her.


    At the same time, Ye Fan also wanted to find out who exactly was trying to make a move on her.


    After all, on the day of the funeral, the Xuan Family had severed ties with the Ye Family, so in theory, the opponents behind the Ye Family shouldn''t target the Xuan Family, right?


    But if it wasn''t those behind the Ye Family, who else had the Xuan Family in their sights?


    Ye Fan chose a hotpot restaurant and sat with Xuan Yufei, Wang Fugui, and a few others at a window seat on the second floor. While they ate, they had a clear view of the actions of the suit-d young men in the van below.


    Although Ye Fan only nced down casually, the young men in the van below still felt their hairs stand on end.


    "Big brother, what''s going on? Why do I keep feeling like someone''s watching us? Like we''re being targeted by a venomous snake, it''s ufortable!" murmured one of the young men with sses to the middle-aged man leading them. "Big brother, do you think that idiot upstairs has already spotted us?"


    The middle-aged man himself was at the peak of the Grandmaster level, just shy of the Martial Venerable level.


    He too was aware of that barely perceptible presence.


    But he wasn''t sure if that presence wasing from Ye Fan''s side, "You all are being paranoid! How could that Ye Family idiot be so powerful? Just keep a sharp eye out, save your strength, and wait for the right moment to act! If we seed, we''ll all get to have our fun with that beauty, Princess Yu!"


    "Yes!"


    At the mention of Princess Yu''s stunning figure, a gleam of excitement appeared in the eyes of everyone in the van.


    Throughout the meal, Xuan Yufei took care of Ye Fan.


    Even Wang Fugui, sitting beside them, couldn''t stand it anymore, "Princess Yu, can you tone it down a bit? I''m sick of eating dog food... Ugh, why didn''t you do this earlier? Look at the little sister-inw and the others..."


    Wang Fugui was an outspoken person and didn''t like seeing Xuan Yufei act so subservient. He couldn''t help but bring up Su Yixue and Yu Linglong.


    Although Wang Fugui couldn''t guess the entire truth, from what he could see, he was able to discern some hints of the future.


    In just a few days, the Xia Family, the Guo Family, and others such as the Nether Group and Wandering Soul had moved closer to the Ye Family, while those families that opposed the Ye Family hadn''t met with any good oues.


    All these signs indicated that the Ye Family wouldn''t be so easily brought down.


    By the time the Ye Family regained their senses, they still had the support of a million-strong Tianlong Army behind them.


    By then, the Ye Family''s resurgence was inevitable!


    Moreover, the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue had said that Ye Fan fully possessed the possibility of awakening; with additional training and stimtion, big brother would awaken very soon.


    Once big brother awakened, with his heaven-defying talent activated, his future would be boundless.


    The choices made by Su Yixue and those seven sisters-inw, Yu Linglong, might be somewhat painful in the short term, but the benefits they would gain in the future were certainly tremendous!


    "Old Wang, you know my situation... My second uncle was controlling the family and I was confused for a moment... but in my heart, I still love Brother Fan... could you speak to him for me when you have the time?" Xuan Yufei''s hand holding the chopsticks stopped, and tears were about to start falling again.


    If she hadn''t called off the engagement back then, perhaps she would be the one standing by Ye Fan''s side now, not Su Yixue!


    And certainly not those other six sisters-inw!


    Ye Fan was meant to be hers alone!


    But now, even if she were to go back, she could only be one-eighth or maybe even one-tenth.


    However, even so, Xuan Yufei had noints.


    All the oues were the result of her own actions; there was nothing left to say.


    ...


    After finishing the meal, Ye Fan insisted on taking Xuan Yufei home first. After watching her enter her room, he left with Wang Fugui.


    Two minutes after Ye Fan''s vehicle departed, the several ck-clothed men hiding in the shadows finally appeared, muttering with annoyance, "Damn it! That fool from the Ye Family has finally left... With Wang Fugui and Ye Fan here, it really wasn''t a good time to make a move! That idiot, he''s not someone we can kill!"


    Although the Jin Family wanted to keep the news of Jin Yang''s attack on Ye Fan under wraps,


    the news spread like it had wings, quickly circting throughout Cloud City, Tiannan Province, and the Great Xia Martial Arts Circle.


    The news of Jin Yang''s attack on Ye Fan, Su Yixue''s failure, the heavy losses of his own fleet, and thepelledpensation of one billion to Su Corporation for emotional damages,


    these pieces of news seemed to be spreading inadvertently, but only those at a certain level of influence knew that someone was deliberately fanning the mes, letting the news ferment within the Martial Arts Circle.


    It was a warning to others, urging everyone to be careful not to mess with Ye Fan or the Su Family, otherwise, they might end up like Jin Yang.


    This time, those who moved against Xuan Yufei were just a private team within the Martial Arts Circle, Bounty Hunters, who normally took on some assignments.


    They had no deep-rooted hatred with Xuan Yufei, naturally, they wouldn''t be reckless with their lives!


    "Make it quick, the probing is over! If there''s a chance to strike it rich, seize it, if not, retreat immediately! I have a feeling that something is off tonight!" The middle-aged man instructed his subordinates, and the group swiftly climbed into Xuan Yufei''s vi courtyard.


    Two minutes after Ye Fan''s vehicle had left, Ye Fan suddenly asked Wang Fugui to stop, "Old Wang, turn back immediately! I just remembered, I left something at Xuan Yufei''s house, I need to go get it!"


    Although Wang Fugui was puzzled about what Ye Fan could have left at Xuan Yufei''s ce, he always carried out Ye Fan''s instructions without question.


    "Okay!"


    With that, Wang Fugui responded and immediately turned around, heading back to Xuan Yufei''s residence...

 Chapter 103 Show your brothers the pattern on your chest!

    In the vi, Xuan Yufei had barely stepped through the door before she headed straight into the bathroom!


    Slipping out of her red dress, she admired her exquisite figure in the mirror!


    Her figure was truly stunning, with curves in all the right ces, meat where there should be meat... and a t belly!


    When she unsped her bra, her ample "Great Phoenixes" seemed almost ready to take flight, suddenly released from their confinement.


    Such a splendid figure shouldn''t be cheapened by others; Xuan Yufei felt this in her heart!


    She belonged to Brother Fan alone!


    Back when they were both still green and young, she had been so close to Brother Fan that epting anyone else was utterly out of the question!


    After admiring her own body, Xuan Yufei picked up the clothes beside her and took a deep breath through her nose.


    They still carried Ye Fan''s scent!


    That was the scent of a man!


    All those other trash, like Zhao Tianlong and Jin Yang, they didn''tpare!


    Just as Xuan Yufei was about to turn on the shower, she suddenly heard faint footsteps outside. She immediately became alert, "Who''s there?"


    Xuan Yufei had trained in martial arts with Ye Fan, and although she wasn''t as naturally talented as him, she had reached the strength of the Control Realm.


    The intruders outside, except for the middle-aged man who was leading them and was at the Grandmaster Realm, were all at the Control Realm, so they could hardly hide their presence.


    Xuan Yufei distinctly remembered locking both the main vi door and the living room door after entering.


    No ordinary person should have been able to get in.


    With a shoutedmand, Xuan Yufei didn''t even have time to put on her underwear; she swiftly draped her dress over herself, then watched the bathroom entrance warily!


    Meanwhile, Wang Fugui also arrived by car outside the gate of Xuan Yufei''s vi.


    Wang Fugui had intended to go in with Ye Fan, but Ye Fan refused, "It''s better if I go in alone. Wait for me outside for a bit, it could take a while since I need to find something!"


    But Wang Fugui''s mind was racing, and a sly smile crept across his face, "Sure!"


    Finding something!


    It''s probably just an excuse!


    s!


    The big brother might be lovesick, but he can''t forget the past, can he?


    Wait, considering brother''s current condition, he might have recovered quite a bit... I should find a chance to ask himter.


    After all, Xuan Yufei''s vi isn''t thatrge, and there couldn''t be any danger within.


    Brother has already regained the strength of the Martial Venerable Realm, so it wouldn''t be easy for anyone to kill him.


    I''ll just keep watch here!


    Wang Fugui reclined his seat and even started humming a tune to himself!


    ...


    Inside the vi''s bathroom, Xuan Yufei was on high alert!


    Though she only had the strength of the Control Realm, she could distinctly sense that at least three people were lurking outside the door, watching the bathroom.


    It was sote, and they had stealthily infiltrated her vi; they couldn''t be up to any good.


    As she watched the door, Xuan Yufei grabbed her mobile phone and dialed Ye Fan''s number, "Brother Fan, save me..."


    Having grown up with Ye Fan, Wang Fugui, Guo Li, she would instinctively turn to Ye Fan for help whenever they faced danger on their missions.


    "Sure!"


    Over the phone, Ye Fan responded with an acknowledgment, causing Xuan Yufei to be taken aback.


    Did Ye Fan know he was in danger?


    Hadn''t Ye Fan already left? How could hee back so soon?

    When Xuan Yufei called Ye Fan, she was merely seeking psychologicalfort... She was well aware that even if Ye Fan had understood her, by the time he would arrive, it would probably be toote.


    Boom!


    Without giving Xuan Yufei any more time to think, the bathroom door was kicked open violently.


    The men in ck suits rushed into the bathroom quickly, with their Martial Arts Qi violently surging around their moving figures.


    The two assassins in the Control Realm leading the charge swung their fists toward Princess Yu''s chest.


    "You..." Princess Yu had been ready to fight and swung her fists to block theirs.


    Thud! Thud!


    After two dull sounds, one person facing off against two assants, Princess Yu naturally stood no chance and was repelled by the powerful Qi Force, mming against the wall behind her.


    The wall cracked from the impact, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Princess Yu''s mouth; herplexion turned pale instantly.


    Princess Yu''s talent was mediocre; without external help, she might remain in the Control Realm for the rest of her life.


    However, facing two killers at the control peak, Princess Yu was lucky to only have her internal organs shaken.


    "Is this all you''re capable of? It seems the higher-ups have overestimated you!" The lead middle-aged man snorted coldly, stepped forward, grabbed Xuan Yufei''s shoulder, and stared at her coldly, "They said you have a pattern on your chest, let the brothers have a look today!"


    As he spoke, the middle-aged man reached out to tear the clothing on Xuan Yufei''s shoulder.


    Rip!


    Princess Yu''s red dress was torn halfway, and her fair corbone was half-exposed when suddenly a Qi Force shot in from outside the door, startling the middle-aged man. His body hair stood on end as he quickly tried to dodge to the side.


    To the middle-aged man''s horror, the iing Qi could actually turn corners.


    Even with his Grandmaster Realm power, after dodging three times, the Qi still tracked him relentlessly!


    St! St!


    The projectiles were two flower seeds that precisely sealed the man''s veins.


    The middle-aged man''s Grandmaster Realm strength couldn''t be exerted; he stumbled several times, nearly falling to the ground, "Retreat! There''s a master!"


    The middle-aged man was already at Grandmaster Peak, but the opponent handled him with such ease, indicating their strength was at least above the Martial Venerable Realm.


    If he lingered any longer, it would be akin to giving his life away.


    So he called his subordinates to leave.


    But it was already toote!


    St! St!


    Without seeing anyone outside, numerous flower seeds flew into the room, sealing all seven or eight assassins. Their veins were blocked, they couldn''t muster any Martial Arts Qi, even walking was difficult, and they all copsed to the ground.


    "This..." Xuan Yufei, witnessing the scene, was shocked, her pupils dting. When that Grandmaster had grabbed hold of her, she had been utterly desperate.


    Dressed so scantily and in the hands of these men, she was sure to face a grim fate.


    Given that her own strength was no match for theirs, Princess Yu was still wondering how to respond when a master appeared.


    Remembering the call she had made, Xuan Yufei tentatively called out, "Brother Fan, is that you?"


    Xuan Yufei''s heart raced with excitement; she had only called Ye Fan, and if he had intervened, it would mean that Ye Fan''s strength had reached at least the Martial Venerable Realm!


    Ye Fan must have awakened...

 Chapter 104 Youll Own Me Sooner or Later!

    ```


    Pff!


    A phantom figure shed by outside, and before Xuan Yufei could react to what was happening, a seed struck her acupoint, causing her to ckout and copse on the spot!


    The one who burst in was naturally Ye Fan!


    The moment Xuan Yufei hit the ground, Ye Fan scooped her up and headed toward the bedroom!


    The Xuan Yufei in his arms was already out of it, and her dress had been ripped halfway by the middle-aged man, revealing a breathtaking view at her chest... the fair Great Phoenix was nearly flying out!


    Seeing this, Ye Fan felt a surge of heat in his heart. As he touched Xuan Yufei, a warm current rushed into her body, quickly enhancing Xuan Yufei''s Martial Arts Qi strength.


    The Inheritance flickered!


    Ye Fan also received a warm current from Xuan Yufei, and his own strength was rapidly increasing as well.


    After cing Xuan Yufei back in the room and gently covering her with a nket, by the time he returned, Wang Fugui had already charged in.


    "Big brother, are you alright?" Wang Fugui looked at Ye Fan with a worried face. His sister-inw Su Yixue had entrusted Wang Fugui to take care of Ye Fan, and thest thing Wang Fugui wanted was for anything to happen to Ye Fan, otherwise he would have a hard time exining to Su Yixue.


    Ye Fan was at a critical juncture now, with countless people eyeing him. He had been careless just moments before.


    "I''m fine!" Ye Fan nced at the assassin writhing on the ground, "They wanted to make a move on Yufei, Old Wang, you take care and interrogate them!"


    "Alright!"


    Without any pleasantries, Wang Fugui grabbed one of the assassins and mmed him into the wall with a vengeance.


    "Damn it, how dare youy your hands on my ex-sister-inw, seeking death?" Wang Fugui was furious, unable to believe someone had dared to act under his watch. If it weren''t for his big brother''s considerable strength, who knew what might have happened.


    "Agh!" The assassin''s entire body was sealed by Ye Fan, and with no way to resist, he was at the mercy of Wang Fugui''s furious beating. His head cracked open, and blood spilled all over the ground.


    Pff!


    Wang Fugui''s hands didn''t pause, continuing to smash the other assassins'' thighs, crush arms...


    In just a few tens of seconds, all the assassins at the scene were injured, not a single one intact.


    Throughout the ordeal, Wang Fugui didn''t say a word besides attacking, leaving the leading middle-aged manpletely frustrated, "Big brother... stop hitting, please, lords, won''t you ask... "


    They were so frustrated they were almost going mad!


    They thought Ye Fan had already gone mad, but they never expected that Wang Fugui, who followed, would be even more lunatic than Ye Fan.


    It was supposed to be an interrogation, but without a single question, it turned into a beating!


    If they continued like this, they were afraid they might actually be beaten to death right there.


    "Would you speak if I asked?" Wang Fugui looked at the group of assassins coldly, a sinister smile on his lips, "Might as well let me vent for my big brother first!"


    "We''ll talk, we''ll tell you everything... We weren''t here to kill Xuan Yufei, we were just sent by Young Master Zhou of the Capital to test Xuan Yufei''s potential... Please, lords, spare our lives..."


    The middle-aged man leading them saw Wang Fugui carry over another bottle of boiling water and trembled with fear at the sound of his voice.


    Is this Wang Fugui a demon?


    That boiling water, if it were poured down his own pants, that agony, just thinking about it made his whole body shudder.


    ```


    "What potential are you trying to test in Xuan Yufei?" Wang Fugui''s movements paused for a moment, and he continued to berate the middle-aged man leading the group.


    "I don''t know the specifics, but based on what I overheard Young Master Zhou saying on the phone, it''s said that Miss Xuan Yufei''s mother was no ordinary person, and Xuan Yufei must have inherited some special constitution... If Xuan Yufei activates those aspects of her constitution, she will definitely have a very promising future..."


    While the middle-aged man kept rambling, Ye Fan fell into deep thought.


    A special constitution?


    When he had held Xuan Yufei in his arms just now, Ye Fan indeed felt a mysterious aura pulsating in her body, as if it was nourishing and cultivating Xuan Yufei''s body, even trying to help her break through blocked meridians.


    Growing up with Xuan Yufei, he''d never noticed anything special about her, had he?


    However, Ye Fan thought of Jin Yang and how both he and Li Yunyang of the Li Family were so desperate to marry Xuan Yufei; perhaps these were the reasons behind it?


    What secrets did Xuan Yufei harbor?


    Moreover, the affair concerning Xuan Yufei was once again tied to Young Master Zhou of the Capital!


    The Holy Envoy Organization!


    It seemed he needed to take a trip to the Capital as soon as possible to figure out what exactly was going on with this Holy Envoy Organization!


    Those targeting the Ye Family weren''t only people from the military side; people from the Holy Envoy Organization had also joined in, apparently in search of a map... Yet up to now, Ye Fan had no clues about the map.


    What secretsy behind the map?


    All kinds of doubts swirled in Ye Fan''s mind. Frowning deeply, his thoughts raced, but the information he had was indeed too scarce; he couldn''t find any leads.


    "Big brother, how should we deal with these people?" After the middle-aged man finished spilling everything he knew, Wang Fugui acted, knocking them all out cold, and they copsed to the ground like dead dogs.


    "Notify Xia Hao, and let Li Hue take care of it!"


    These assassins, who were all about killing for profit, had their hands stained with blood; there was no need for mercy. Explore new worlds at mvl


    "Yes!"


    While Wang Fugui was arranging for the disposal of the killers, Ye Fan stepped up the stairs once again.


    Just as he pushed open the bedroom door, a startled cry came from inside, "Ah!"


    In the room, Xuan Yufei had already awakened and was in the process of taking off her clothes; she had just exposed therge phoenix tattooed across her chest, her fair skin firm and upright, preparing to change into another outfit. Just then, Ye Fan had walked in.


    With a cry of surprise, Xuan Yufei hesitated for a moment after seeing it was Ye Fan, then slowly lowered her hands and even purposely thrust her chest forward a bit, saying with some shyness, "Brother Fan, was it you who saved me just now? Have you awakened?"


    Ye Fan turned his head away from the magnificent view Xuan Yufei presented and responded, "I just came back to get something and happened to see them attacking you... Old Wang knocked them all out, and I came up to check on you!"


    Ye Fan didn''t directly answer Xuan Yufei''s question as he was still feigning a state of idiocy to the outside world and didn''t want Xuan Yufei to know his secret for the time being.


    Seeing that it wasn''t Ye Fan who had saved her, a sh of disappointment crossed Xuan Yufei''s eyes, but her expression quickly returned to normal, "Oh!"


    However, Xuan Yufei was certain of one thing; a warm current had formed in her body, a type of warmth that only appeared when she was in contact with Ye Fan... Ye Fan''s talent had not been lost!


    It must have been Ye Fan who had carried her upstairs just now. No matter what state Ye Fan was in, he couldn''t just let go of her, could he?


    With this thought, Xuan Yufei seemed to make up her mind. Without any clothes on her body, she quickly walked toward Ye Fan, all the while bashfully thinking to herself, Look, just look... in the end, I will be yours anyway...

 Chapter 105 Soul Capturing Demonic Technique

    "Brother Fan, I want to be your woman!"


    Although shy, Xuan Yufei still spoke out, her face flushed with earnestness as she said to Ye Fan, "We grew up together, it was so beautiful, I don''t want to miss it!"


    While speaking, Xuan Yufei leaned closer into Ye Fan''s embrace.


    Xuan Yufei was very confident in her figure. Even clothed she was enchanting, and now she waspletely bare, such a stunning beauty appearing before you, it would be difficult for any man to refuse.


    Ye Fan, watching the beautiful woman approaching, felt a surge of restlessness in his heart.


    He had to admit, Xuan Yufei was really beautiful, a different style of beauty from Su Yixue. Su Yixue had the charm of a mature woman, while Xuan Yufei had a wild and enchanting quality, especially those captivating eyes that held a hint of exotic allure.


    But whenever he thought about how Xuan Yufei had called off their engagement at his uncles'' and elder brother''s funerals, Ye Fan''s heart ached.


    Now she wanted to be his woman, where was she before?


    Although before, Ye Fan was utterly devoted to Xuan Yufei, without any bottom line or dignity.


    But that wasn''t a reason for Xuan Yufei to take liberties, even a loyal dog has its pride, and once the love is gone, so is the fear.


    He saved Xuan Yufei simply because he couldn''t bear to let her suffer!


    But Xuan Yufei wanting to be his woman, Ye Fan couldn''t get over that hurdle in his heart!


    With a sh, Ye Fan dodged to the side, evading Xuan Yufei, and asked in confusion, "Princess Yu! Why do you want to be my woman? How does one be my woman, shouldn''t you be your own woman?"


    A hint of confusion crossed Ye Fan''s gaze, reverting to that foolish demeanor.


    Xuan Yufei''s eyes held a touch of despondence, mixed with disappointment.


    Was Ye Fan really still in his foolish state?


    But Xuan Yufei didn''t want to give up just like that, "Hasn''t your Yixue wife taught you yet? It''s like this... if you don''t know how, I''ll teach you!"


    Xuan Yufei had made up her mind, regardless of Ye Fan''s current state, she would im him first, cook the uncooked rice, and be Ye Fan''s woman, hopefully bearing his child.


    That way, when Ye Fan came to his senses, he couldn''t just ignore her.


    Xuan Yufei moved closer, wrapping her arms around Ye Fan''s neck, while the Great Phoenix on her chest provocatively rubbed against Ye Fan''s arm.


    The soft touch and astonishing sticity almost made Ye Fan lose control.


    After all, she was once the woman he deeply loved. Although there were now fissures, Ye Fan found it hard to withstand Xuan Yufei''s softness.


    However, thinking of the seven who had made such great sacrifices to guard the Ye Family, to protect him, Ye Fan regained his rationality.


    Adversity reveals true feelings!


    At his uncles'' funerals, it was the seven sisters-inw who showed their true feelings. He couldn''t let down their affection for him.


    "I think I''ll let Yixue wife teach me instead!" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Fan''s mouth. A pulse of Qi Force fluctuated, and he pressed a few times at the back of Xuan Yufei''s neck.


    Sumbing to drowsiness, Xuan Yufei once again fell asleep in Ye Fan''s embrace!


    Readtest chapters at mvl


    Ye Fan, holding Xuan Yufei, walked over to the bed, "Rest well!"


    The hurt Xuan Yufei had caused was not something that could be mended in a day or two.


    But the moment Ye Fanid down Xuan Yufei, he suddenly felt another Qi Force fluctuation inside her.


    Ye Fan''s gaze sharpened as golden energy began pulsing around his eye sockets, his pupils turning red. He looked at Xuan Yufei, prating her skin and delving into her body''s meridians to examine closely.


    Soon, Ye Fan discovered a mass of dark aura deep within Xuan Yufei''s dantian.


    That aura was very strange; it seemed to have its own intelligence!


    When Ye Fan''s Qi Force went in to investigate, the dark aura actually attempted to self-dissolve and hide.


    Hmm?


    Ye Fan was now at the Martial Emperor level of strength, and with the inheritance from the dragon-patterned ring, his spiritual power was incredibly strong. He quickly analyzed the dark aura and immediately connected it with an odd technique he had learned from the ring.


    "The Soul Capturing Demonic Technique?"


    The dark aura within Xuan Yufei was the Soul Capturing Demonic Technique, an evil technique from the Ancient Era, simr to Curses from the Southeast Region. It controlled the target from a distance by setting up special means, making them act ording to one''s wishes.


    Had Xuan Yufei been subjected to the Soul Capturing Technique?


    Ye Fan frowned deeply. The Xuan Family was nothing more than a merchant family in Cloud City, and they hadn''t offended any significant figures. Why were they so concerned with Xuan Yufei?


    Ye Fan''s thoughts raced, and he recalled the information conveyed by those assassins from earlier.


    There was a mysterious force behind Xuan Yufei, one that even Young Master Zhou from the Capital was interested in. It was likely that the force behind Xuan Yufei was truly powerful!


    What kind of power was it, exactly?


    It seemed that he must find an opportunity to ask Uncle Xuan for rification.


    The Technique of Soul Capturing was troublesome for others, but Ye Fan possessed the Tianji Pavilion''s inheritance from the dragon-patterned ring which happened to include a countermeasure. Most importantly, Ye Fan had the Inheritance within him, the bane of such evil techniques.


    Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then with a flick of his wrist, he channeled the Inheritance from his dantian through his fingers, quickly infiltrating Xuan Yufei''s body. Following her meridians, it swiftly reached her dantian.


    From multiple directions, it assaulted the dark Qi Force.


    Once the dark Soul Capturing aura sensed the approach of the Inheritance, it seemed terrified and tried to find a path to escape.


    But Ye Fan blocked it back with the Inheritance he controlled!


    Soon, the dark Soul Capturing aura waspletely enveloped by the Inheritance and then started to burn within Xuan Yufei.


    Whimpers!


    The dark aura was connected to Xuan Yufei''s spirit, and as it burned, she seemed to be in pain, uttering whimpers.


    Ye Fan released his Martial Breath to nourish and cultivate Xuan Yufei''s spirit, making it more bearable for her.


    Within a few dozen seconds, all of the dark Soul Capturing aura inside Xuan Yufei was burned clean by the Inheritance.


    After checking once more and confirming that there was no other Soul Capturing aura within Xuan Yufei, Ye Fan withdrew the Inheritance from her body and gently covered her with a nket.


    Just as Ye Fan was about to leave, a question suddenly came to mind.


    If Xuan Yufei had been controlled by the Soul Capturing Technique, then at the funeral, was her breaking off the engagement with him her own will, or was she controlled by the technique?


    But Ye Fan''s thoughts were fleeting. Whatever the truth was, it no longer mattered now.


    Ye Fan''s current mission was to help the Su Corporation rise, to protect the families of his seven sisters-inw, to investigate the hidden culprits who had harmed the Ye Family, to avenge them, and to vindicate the Ye Family''s honor!


    As for everything else, none of it was that important!


    Ye Fan nced at Xuan Yufei onest time and turned to leave the bedroom.


    And just at the moment when the dark aura on Xuan Yufei''s body waspletely burned away, in the Capital, within a separate garden, a young man suddenly sat up in bed and violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, "Ah... who ruined my arrangement?"

 Chapter 106 Start Calling Her Wife!

    "Young Master Zhou? What''s happened, what''s the matter?"


    No sooner had the young man called out than arge group of bodyguards rushed into the entrance, with the bearded leader looking around nervously.


    This young man was none other than Zhou Ming, the head of the Holy Envoy Organization in the Southwestern Region!


    Five years ago, after the incident with Ye Fan, Zhou Ming had secretly employed the Soul Capturing Technique on Xuan Yufei, partly to use her as a puppet for cultivating his spiritual power, and partly to use her as a conduit for intelligence gathering.


    Most crucially, Zhou Ming also gleaned through certain channels the identity of Xuan Yufei''s mother.


    It was highly possible that Xuan Yufei''s mother was a descendant of a servant from the Divine Gate n!


    And the Divine Gate was the sworn enemy of the Holy Envoy Organization.


    Zhou Ming had invested so much effort in applying the Soul Capturing Technique on Xuan Yufei, hoping to make a breakthrough via her.


    For five years, while the Soul Capturing Technique on Xuan Yufei hadn''t yielded any valuable information, it also hadn''t caused any issues.


    But just now, Zhou Ming discovered that the Soul Capturing Technique he had ced on Xuan Yufei was suddenly broken.


    Xuan Yufei had lost contact with him, and Zhou Ming had even suffered a bacsh!


    "Send someone to investigate immediately what has happened to Xuan Yufei in Cloud City. Who has had contact with Xuan Yufei today, I want to know all about Xuan Yufei''s situation!" Zhou Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued, "Also, get in touch with the assassins we sent to probe Xuan Yufei, and have them report back immediately!"


    As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, a four-eyed geek in the crowd immediately said, "Young Master Zhou, we lost contact with those assassins an hour ago... Just now, the information from the life detectors confirmed that the entire assassin group has... all died..."


    "What?"


    Zhou Ming''s pupils dted in shock as he stood up from the bed, his eyebrows furrowed.


    Zhou Ming had chosen that assassin group to test Xuan Yufei because they were not well-known and didn''t belong to any particr force, meaning they were unlikely to be noticed by anyone else.


    But he had just made his move, and all of the assassins were wiped out already?


    Zhou Ming knew that among those people, the leader had the strength of a Grandmaster Realm, which was not a low level of power throughout Great Xia.


    Who exactly had interfered with Xuan Yufei''s affairs?


    The Ye Family?


    But Xuan Yufei had clearly already annulled her marriage to Ye Fan, so the Ye Family had no need to continue concerning themselves with the Xuan Family''s affairs. Moreover, wasn''t Ye Fan considered a fool? How could he get involved in Xuan Yufei''s matters?


    "Young Master Zhou, we have received intelligence! ording to our brothers who were secretly observing, Ye Fan and Wang Fugui had gone to Xuan Yufei''s residence a while ago and haven''t left yet!"


    Hmm?


    Ye Fan again?


    Zhou Ming was very clear about the recent events in Cloud City!


    The Zhao Family annihted, the Li Family annihted, the Wang Family annihted!


    All the families that were detrimental to the Su and Ye Families met with no good end.


    Moreover, Chu Feng, a Martial Venerable Realm expert sent by the Northwestern forces intending to utterly eradicate the Ye Family, fortuitously encountered a Wandering Soul expert, who wiped out Chu Feng and his group.


    Zhou Ming''s eyebrows were tightly knotted as he murmured to himself, "Was it really a Wandering Soul expert who took action? Has... Ye Fan awoken?"


    "Have all the teams from the Capitale for a meeting first thing tomorrow morning!" Zhou Ming''s eyes shed with a sinister light; he had to personally go to Cloud City.


    At that time, the move against the Ye Family alongside the Northwestern forces was for the sake of obtaining a map belonging to the Ye Family.


    However, ten core disciples of the Ye Family had already been in, and no clue of the map was found on them. The only one unchecked was Ye Fan, that fool.


    The clues to that map are most likely on Ye Fan.


    The demand for the map above has reached an urgent point, and if I can find the whereabouts of the map quickly, they will definitely reward me with even more!


    ...


    In Cloud City, Ye Fan and Wang Fugui left Xuan Yufei''s residence and drove straight home!


    As soon as Ye Fan entered Su Yixue''s vi gate, he saw another familiar face.


    Sixth sister-inw Qing Run was also there!


    "Xiao Fan, I just happened toe to Cloud City on some business and decided to drop by to see how you''re doing! Are you feeling better?" Qing Run, seeing Ye Fan enter, tenderly stepped forward, took Ye Fan''s hand, and looked him up and down.


    Qing Run had very nice skin, and as she was holding Ye Fan''s wrist, her face turned so bashfully rosy it seemed almost squeezable with moisture.


    Such a shy girl had, at the funeral, so resolutely announced to marry Ye Fan along with Yu Linglong and the others.


    Moreover, she had decided to marry Ye Fan along with six others, to spread branches and leaves for the Ye Family!


    It was clear that Qing Run had made a great determination.


    "Sister-inw Run, I am much better now! Today, Yixue took me to the antique street, and it brought back many other memories, only I just can''t remember a lot of things... Hehe, but Divine Doctor Lei said that I''ll get better gradually... Sister-inw Run, give me a hug..."


    Looking at the beauty before him, Ye Fan didn''t know how to express his feelings.


    He couldn''t fully reveal that he had awoken, yet he needed to express his concern.


    He could only be half-truthful, half-coherent, half-lucid, half-foolish!


    Seeing Ye Fan''s open arms, Qing Run''s face flushed with shyness. After ncing at Su Yixue, she finally snuggled into Ye Fan''s embrace, shyly.


    Having dered her intention to marry Ye Fan in front of so many people, from that moment on, everyone would consider Qing Run as Ye Fan''s wife.


    "Xiao Fan, you don''t have to call me sister-inw anymore, you should call me wife, okay?" Qing Run, wrapping her arms around Ye Fan''s neck, tenderly instructed him, "The same goes for Sister Linglong and Mange... They are all your wives!"


    Though she was shy, seeing Ye Fan like this warmed Qing Run''s heart.


    After all, when she announced her intention to marry Ye Fan, he waspletely foolish without a single moment of rity.


    But now, Ye Fan had regained the mental capacity of a teenager, and given time, he would certainly return to his former peak.


    "Okay!"


    Ye Fan replied earnestly, his sharp eyes catching a hint of sorrow in Qing Run''s eyes, "Wife Run, have you encountered some troubles? You seem a bit unhappy!"


    Qing Run was taken aback and looked at Ye Fan with some confusion. She had concealed her emotions deeply, yet Ye Fan noticed them?


    "No... nothing! It''s just that our Qing Family''s jewelry business has been affected recently, our previous partners who supplied goods have all stopped cooperating with ustely, and the raw gemstones we''ve stockpiled won''tst much longer!"


    "Sigh! I heard that General Song Pa from Myanmar ising to Great Xia in the next few days to renegotiate the jade raw stone agency, so I wanted to try my luck and see if I could get some raw stones from General Song Pa, so we wouldn''t be at the mercy of all these distributors within the Great Xia Realm!"


    Although Qing Run didn''t spell it out, Ye Fan understood very well.


    The troubles the Qing Family now faced were likely due to Qing Run continuing to side with the Ye Family and publicly announcing her marriage to him.


    Those who targeted the Ye Family were suppressing the Qing Family from behind the scenes...


    "Wife Run, don''t worry, I will definitely help you get the jade agency rights, you don''t have to worry!" Ye Fan patted her gently on the back, his mind recalling that burly man from Myanmar!


    Back then, Song Pa owed Ye Fan more than one life...

 Chapter 107 Sister Yixue, do you want me to come help tonight?

    "You? How can you help?"


    Qing Run looked at Ye Fan with a hint of surprise and a smile emerged at the corner of her mouth, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should focus on recuperating and recover as soon as possible! Otherwise, we sisters will not be able to hold on!"


    The Su Family and Qing Family are already being suppressed; it''s likely that soon it will be the turn of the Shen Family, Yu Linglong, and others'' families.


    The daughters of the seven major families announced at the same time their marriage to Ye Fan, continuing their deep ties with the Ye Family.


    Those who are against the Ye Family certainly won''t just let things be.


    "I really can do it, Wife Run, you have to believe me!" Ye Fan said with utter seriousness as he looked at Qing Run. He really wanted to tell Qing Run that with just one word from him, not to mention giving over the agency rights to him, even if he asked for Song Pa''s life, Song Pa probably wouldn''t hesitate.


    After all, five years ago when Ye Fan infiltrated Myanmar to pursue a drug trafficker, he saved Song Pa three times within three days and even helped Song Pa eliminate his biggestpetitor.


    If it hadn''t been for Ye Fan''s help, Song Pa''s entire family would have been destroyed long ago, let alone achieving his extraordinary status in Northwest Myanmar today.


    "Alright! It''s gettingte... Yixue, you should quickly take Xiao Fan to sleep! Judging by the days, Xiao Fan has already been with you for several days now, you need to make good use of the time because next month, Xiao Fan will be mine..." Qing Run joked as she looked at Su Yixue, "Sister Yixue, Xiao Fan doesn''t know much, you have to teach him more, huh. If you don''t know how, do you want me to guide you both tonight?"


    Pfft!


    Ye Fan was inwardly speechless upon hearing Qing Run''s words!


    Sister-inws, you really don''t treat me like an outsider.


    Qing Runing over at night to guide Su Yixue on how to enchant men?


    The mere thought was too beautiful to imagine!


    However, somewhere in his heart, Ye Fan felt a faint sense of anticipation. What kind of scene would it be if Qing Run and Su Yixue were together?


    But Ye Fan also knew that for such a scene to be reality, it would probably be a long way off, at least until those arch-enemies of the Ye Family had been dealt with!


    "Big Sister Lan, you''re too mean! Ye Fan... sometimes he''s not that dumb, hmph... soon, you''ll get to experience it... If you''re in a hurry, I''ll let you have tonight..." Su Yixue blushed, yet she yfully teased Qing Run in return.


    "Tch! I don''t want it!"


    Although Qing Run sounded tough with her words, in truth, it was all talk, no action. With a coyint, she quickly ran towards her bedroom, and at the doorway, she seductively twisted her waist, calling back to Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, what are you standing there dumbfounded for? Hurry up and go to sleep with Yixue! We''re all waiting for you to branch out and spread the leaves for the Ye Family!"


    That bewitching look in her eyes and her provocative figure sent a wave of heat through Ye Fan. In his heart, he marveled at how fortunate he was to have won the favor of seven such stunning beauties at the same time.


    Ye Fan even felt a moment of trance, contemting whether Xuan Yufei breaking off their engagement on the day of the funeral was a blessing or a curse.


    After all, exchanging one for seven, he didn''t seem to be at a loss!


    "Okay! I''ll listen to Wife Run!"


    A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Ye Fan''s mouth, and in the next moment, before Su Yixue could react, he scooped her up in his arms and dashed toward the second-floor bedroom.


    "Ah! Xiao Fan, be gentle... Sister Lan, you''re too bad, you''ve onlye for one day and you''ve already corrupted Xiao Fan..."


    However, while Su Yixueined with her words, there was a hint of anticipation in her heart.


    It''s that very phrase: women, if not loved, will not love!


    At the Su Family Vi''s second floor, suddenly, a chorus of songs inappropriate for children red out!


    Downstairs, Qing Run tossed and turned, unable to sleep for most of the night, filled with regret. Why had she chosen to stay at Su Yixue''s ce? Wasn''t this simply asking for torture?


    ��


    Cloud City gradually sumbed to the night''s embrace, returning to tranquility.


    But in the Provincial City, the Liu Family was destined for unrest tonight!


    Liu Hao, having learned from Ye Fan''s mouth that it was his own father who personally killed his mother, rushed back to the Provincial City this afternoon. After quietly making some arrangements, he finally returned home.


    In the study, Liu Ran, seeing Liu Hao enter, showed some surprise, "Hao''er, you''re back so soon? How did things go in Cloud City? Did you take down the Su Family? What is Ye Fan''s situation now?"


    All three of the Liu Family''s vassal families, the Wang Family, the Zhao Family, and the Li Family, had been exterminated.


    Although the information spread outside had nothing to do with the Ye Family, citing car idents or being killed by enemies, Liu Ran naturally knew that it was the Ye Family who had acted, and it was very likely that Ye Fan himself had done it.


    Therefore, Liu Ran was now very eager to take action against the Su Family, to give an ount to the higher-ups, and to quickly rify Ye Fan''s situation.


    Liu Hao''s face darkened as he stared at Liu Ran, forcing a few words through his clenched teeth, "How... how did Mother actually die?"


    Liu Ran, sensing something wrong with Liu Hao''s expression, stood up from his chair, his brow furrowed as he began, "Haven''t I told you numerous times? Your mother was in a bad mood and jumped from a building to her death. I am saddened by this as well, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"


    "I''ll give you onest chance, tell me... how did Mother actually die!" Liu Hao struggled to suppress his emotions, hoping Liu Ran would offer some sort of defense.


    But Liu Ran''s facial muscles twitched a few times, then he shouted angrily, "Bastard! Liu Hao, you''ve grown bold; is this how you speak to me? It''s not your ce to dictate matters in the Liu Family now. Your mother''s death was thoroughly investigated at the time. Have you gone mad today?"


    Although Liu Ran was reprimanding Liu Hao with his words, he was actually somewhat uneasy inside.


    Liu Hao had always been obedient, but today, after having been to Cloud City and returned, he was acting so out of character, he must have discovered something.


    p!


    Liu Hao mmed a pile of printed photos and documents onto the table, "Liu Ran, you beast! Take a good look at this... How could you bear to send your own wife to another''s bed and let someone insult her in front of you, have you no conscience... you deserve to die..."


    Seeing the photos on the table, a flicker of panic crossed Liu Ran''s eyes as he quickly picked up two and nced at them.


    In the photos, Liu Ran had his wife pinned down on the bed, the scene was especially clear, and another man, though only shown from the back, was identifiable to Liu Ran as a major figure from the Holy Envoy Organization.


    "Hao''er... where did you get these photos? Listen to me... they are fake, all nderous, it''s nder..." Liu Ran staggered and nearly fell to the ground, his mouth still spewing lies and excuses.


    But Liu Ran''s panicked expression had already betrayed him!


    ng!


    Liu Hao drew the battle saber strapped to his side, pointing its tip at Liu Ran, "Today, I will avenge my mother!"

 Chapter 108 Tethering Dad with a Dog Leash!

    ```


    Liu Hao also possessed the strength of the Martial Arts Control Realm, his entire body surged with Martial Arts Qi, instantly filling the room with a somber, murderous atmosphere!


    "What are you trying to do? How dare you!" Liu Ran felt a surge of agitation, "Even if your mother died because of me, it was unavoidable, a sacrifice made for the sake of the development of the family! And yet, as her son, you dare to point a knife at me?"


    "Enough with your excuses! You''ve deceived me for so many years! And even if a sacrifice for the family was necessary, did it have to involve such things to your mother? Have you ever considered how desperate and broken a woman feels when her own husband sends her to another man''s bed to be humiliated? You don''t deserve to be called human!"


    As Liu Hao shouted, he swung his battle saber around, whistling as he shed towards Liu Ran.


    Qi Force fluctuated around Liu Ran''s body as he effortlessly dodged Liu Hao''s attack.


    Both father and son possessed the strength of the Control Realm, making it no easy task for one to overpower the other.


    "Guards, seize this traitor!" seeing Liu Hao''s battle saber smash the furniture behind him into pieces, Liu Ran''s face darkened.


    It was apparent that Liu Hao harbored a murderous intent towards him.


    After all, Liu Ran was getting old, and if it came down to a one-on-one fight, he didn''t have much chance of winning against Liu Hao.


    Following Liu Ran''s shout, the family butler Wang Wei appeared in a sh, standing respectfully at the doorway, "Patriarch, Young Master!"


    "Hurry! Take this traitor down, don''t be afraid of getting hurt... It''s time to teach him a lesson! I''m not dead yet and he dares to act recklessly, hmph!" A trace of cruelty shed in Liu Ran''s eyes.


    In his view, there was only power and loyalty to the Holy Envoy Organization.


    As for his son...


    If he died, so be it, he could always have more!


    He didn''t care!


    Wang Wei and Liu Hao exchanged nces, then Wang Wei spoke indifferently, "I''m sorry, Patriarch, please forgive me for not being able to carry out your order!"


    Huh?


    Wang Wei''s words made Liu Ran''s heart skip a beat.


    The most powerful bodyguard and family butler actually disobeying his orders?


    "Wang Wei, are you staging a rebellion? Don''t forget that I am the head of the Liu Family, and you serve us. What gives you the right to disobey orders?" Liu Ran dodged Liu Hao''s attacks in a slight panic, while scolding Wang Wei.


    Wang Wei spoke coldly, "Out of gratitude for the Lady! It was she who took me in when I was injured, and gave me my life today! What the Young Master is doing today is also what I''ve been wanting to do... It''s just that I didn''t witness certain things personally before and wasn''t sure, but today, after seeing all those pieces of evidence and videos! I really want to say, Liu Ran, you''re truly inhuman!"


    "..."


    Hearing Wang Wei''s words, Liu Ran''s heart turned ice-cold.


    Wang Wei was indeed taken in by Liu Hao''s mother after being injured and then stayed with the Liu Family afterward.


    With Wang Wei''s abilities, he could have had a better future, but the reason he stayed with the Liu family was merely to repay a debt of gratitude.


    Whoosh!


    As Liu Ran was forced to dodge next to Wang Wei again, Wang Wei took action, punching Liu Ran''s back. The powerful Qi Force impact instantly sealed Liu Ran''s meridians, leaving his body rigid in ce.


    "Young Master, it''s up to you now��whether to kill or spare him," Wang Wei knew when to stop, understanding that although Liu Ran had killed his own wife, it was ultimately a family matter between father and son, and it wouldn''t be proper for Wang Wei to intervene further.


    "Kill? Hmph! To let him die so easily would be too kind! I want him to kneel before my mother and repent for a lifetime!"


    Liu Hao snorted coldly, his battle saber without hesitation stabbing into Liu Ran''s dantian.


    "No, please! Ah... Hao''er, I am your own father..."


    ```


    Seeing Liu Hao''s movements, Liu Ran let out a sound of utter despair.


    With the help of a big shot from the Holy Envoy Organization, Liu Ran had already broken through to the Control Realm. That big shot had promised that after dealing with the Ye Family and Su Family''s affairs, he would provide Liu Ran with an elixir pill worth a fortune, to aid his divine ascension to the Grandmaster Realm.


    If his dantian were destroyed, all his future dreams would turn into mere illusions!


    "There are treasures in the secret chamber inside, more treasures, my son, I give them all to you..."


    Thud!


    No matter how much Liu Ran begged, Liu Hao showed no mercy whatsoever. His battle saber ruthlessly pierced through,pletely destroying the dantian before he finally stopped.


    "From today on, the Liu Family will be fully taken over by me, Liu Hao!" Liu Hao stared coldly at Liu Ran, "I''ve always been disgusted by you, those trash from the Holy Envoy, and those Japanese dogs!"


    "Convey my orders, effective immediately! Terminate all coborations with the Japanese,unch aprehensive crackdown on the Japanese dogs! Cut off all ties with the Holy Envoy Organization immediately, our Liu Family will no longer be dogs of the Holy Envoy!"


    Liu Hao''s orders were ryed one after another, and someone immediately began to implement them on the outside.


    Over the years, Liu Hao had entered the core leadership of the Liu Family and was the actual person in control.


    Therefore, even if Liu Ran were to die, it would not affect the continued operation of the Liu Group.


    "You... have you gone mad? Liu Hao, do you know what benefits the Holy Envoy Organization has in store for us... I spent so much effort to join the Holy Envoy Organization, and you just..."


    Liu Ran tried to continue ranting, but Liu Hao waved his hand and knocked Liu Ran out with a punch. Then, using Liu Ran''s pupils, he opened the secret chamber in the study, "Summon someone, chain him up with a dog leash, have him kneel in front of my mother''s portrait to repent!"


    As soon as Liu Hao entered the secret chamber, he was attracted by the ancient aura of several boxes inside.


    One of the boxes contained a scroll that Liu Hao was very familiar with; it was the map scroll that the Holy Envoy Organization had been having the Liu Family investigate.


    It turned out his father had already found the scroll but didn''t have time to hand it over.


    Liu Hao considered for a few seconds, reached out to take the scroll, then pulled out his phone and called Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye! I have a map scroll here that was found in my father''s secret room, it seems to be rted to the Holy Envoy Organization. I''ll have someone send it to you first thing tomorrow morning!"


    In Cloud City, inside the Su Family Vipound, Ye Fan was feeling refreshed after a session of exercise, running his Martial Power, when he suddenly received a call from Liu Hao. Ye Fan knew that Liu Hao must have gone back and dealt with his own father.


    But Liu Hao had also searched and found a map from Liu Ran?


    Could it be the map that the Holy Envoy Organization was looking for?


    "Good!" Ye Fan responded with a single word, but he was somewhat puzzled as to why Liu Hao would do such a thing.


    After all, earlier in the day, Liu Hao hade to Cloud City with people to suppress the Su Corporation. Another about-face in attitude toward him within the same day?


    "Young Master Ye, I just announced that the Liu Family will, effective immediately, sever all dealings with the Holy Envoy Organization and the Japanese trash! Moreover, I will send all the names associated with the Liu Family along with the scroll to Young Master Ye tomorrow morning. Please forgive the Liu Family for the mistakes made before..."


    Over the phone, Liu Hao respectfully recounted the events.


    Ye Fan listened with some skepticism!


    Did Liu Hao truly have such resolve?


    Was this a decoy tactic?


    After hanging up the phone with Liu Hao, Ye Fan immediately called Guo Li, "Old Guo, get Elder Pang to investigate the situation of the Liu Family and get back to me as soon as possible!"


    If Liu Hao truly had such resolve, Ye Fan wouldn''t mind giving him a hand!


    The enemy of my enemy is my friend!


    No matter who it is, as long as they stand against the Holy Envoy Organization and those who truly wish to destroy the Ye Family, they are friends!

 Chapter 109 The Tycoons Olive Branch Knocks Out Jin Yang!

    Ye Fan turned his head to nce at Su Yixue''snguid appearance next to him and then tuned into the Martial Arts Qi within his body!


    Thanks to the warmth obtained from close contact with Su Yixue and the power previously bestowed by the Undying Bone, Ye Fan had now broken through to the Martial Emperor level!


    But his progress was still too slow!


    At the Ye Family''s old residence, there was actually an Underground Pce, and his mother hadid out so many arrangements for him in advance. She left behind the Four Great Maids and so many Dead Soldiers, even the Wandering Soul was a power his mother had left for him.


    The Holy Envoy Organization was infiltrating every corner of Great Xia so crazily, their plotting must be no simple matter!


    On the surface, his strength as a Martial Emperor might not seem low, but if faced with even stronger experts, or attacked by opponents from different realms, did he have any trump cards to save his own life?


    How could he protect the Ye Family, these sister-inws? How could he avenge the Ye Family?


    Ye Fan''s physical constitution was exceptionally strong, but after all, Su Yixue was just an ordinary girl and couldn''t withstand his intensity.


    s!


    Sometimes, being too strong as a man is not necessarily a good thing!


    Downstairs, Qing Run was still awake; Ye Fan could sense that Qing Run had not fallen asleep.


    Should he go down now and get some more exercise?


    Thinking of Qing Run''s stunning figure, Ye Fan also felt a bit of a stir, but by doing so, his identity as a fool would be exposed!


    Now was not the time to reveal himself, he would still have to endure!


    Since Qing Run hade to Cloud City to obtain the jade distribution rights, naturally, Ye Fan had to help her secure it!


    These matters, ostensibly aimed at the Su Family, Qing Family and others, were actually targeting the Ye Family.


    Ye Fan must protect the families of his seven sister-inws, ensuring they did not lose heart.


    Ye Fan once again circted his martial techniques for a few rounds, then went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.


    But in Cloud City, Jin Yang was sitting with a sullen face, drinking with a youth beside him. This youth was none other than the eldest young master of the Provincial City''s jewelry family, Sun Desheng from the Sun Family.


    "Young Master Sun, you have no idea how stifled I''ve been! Laotzu, with a lifetime of brilliance, was actually yed by a fool... Do you know? I had the medical production rights for the Southwestern Region in my grasp, but in the final moment, I don''t know what that idiot Ye Fan did. That moron Yu Qiang actually gave the rights to the Su Corporation... Brother, it''s just too bitter in my heart..."


    Not only did he lose the production rights, but also the assassination attempt on Ye Fan and Su Yixue ended inplete failure, with all of his men wiped out. Moreover, a sniper had locked on to him, forcing him to transfer one billion in damages to the Su Corporation.


    Jin Yang now spoke with a psychological shadow looming over him, his eyes vigntly scanning the surroundings, fearing being targeted by a sniper again!


    Jin Yang had no idea how he was going to exin this to his father and his family upon his return.


    With the production rights acquired by the Su Corporation along with the ten billion cash he handed over, plus the Beauty Nourishing Cream announced at the press conference with its miraculous effects, once the production line was set up and running, it would be like a printing press for money.


    "Young Master Jin, don''t feel too down! That idiot from the Ye Family is quite bizarre! You''re also aware of what happened to me in the morning. Initially, I had nned to create a scene at the Thousands Treasure Pavilion, but in the end, that fool Ye Fan spoiled my n and I even had to apologize in front of a millionizens, losing face. Our Jewelry Studio''s business will probably suffer even more in the future!"


    As Sun Desheng held his ss, his gaze flickered with a dark glint, "However, in the afternoon, a big shot from the Capital contacted me! He introduced me to General Song Pa from Myanmar who has arrived in Great Xia, and he''s currently staying in the hotel next door! Humph... With General Song Pa''s support, what does the Thousands Treasure Pavilion count for? What''s more, if the Qing Family in the Provincial City wants to continue their jewelry business, they''ll have to look up to Laotzu!"


    "General Song Pa from Myanmar? The one who controls seventy percent of Myanmar''s Jade Raw Stones? I heard he''se to Great Xia for the redistribution of the Jade Raw Stone agency rights. Young Master Sun is indeed in a position close to the water, primed to get the moon first?" Jin Yang''s eyes sparkled with envy. If Sun Desheng could really secure the agency rights for the Jade Raw Stones from General Song Pa''s hands, the Sun Family would instantly be one of the top eminent families in Great Xia.


    s!


    Why hadn''t he encountered such a big shot?


    "Young Master Jin, you''re quite well-informed! You''re right, General Song Pa has indeede to Great Xia this time for the matter of redistributing the Jade Raw Stone agency rights. The previous families that had good rtions with the Qing Family will no longer have a chance! That big shot from the Capital has already spoken with General Song Pa. For sure, the jade agency rights are going to be mine, Sun Family. Tomorrow''s investment conference is just a mere formality!"


    Sun Desheng was full of pride!


    At this moment, he even wanted to proactively call Ye Fan and Manager Wu of Thousands Treasure Pavilion, asking them to personally attend the investment event tomorrow to witness his signing ceremony.


    And that Qing Run, who had announced her marriage to the fool Ye Fan, hmph ... she should be there tomorrow as well, right?


    ording to the demands of the Capital''s big shots, he must humiliate her properly at the time, letting those who have grown close to the Ye Family know the consequences of supporting the Ye Family now!


    After securing the jade agency rights, themand given from above was to bring down the Qing Family''s jewelry corporation at all costs.


    They needed to cut off the supply source, seal off sales channels, and intimidate the partners into severing ties ... in short, the directive was to make life difficult for the Qing Family''s jewelry corporation, preferably driving it to bankruptcy!


    Hearing Sun Desheng''s words made Jin Yang''s heart even more unsettled.


    He originally thought he had found a kindred spirit, someone who had also been dealt with by Ye Fan, but it turned out the other party had already made it ashore before him.


    Ding-ling-ling!


    Sun Desheng was still brooding when suddenly his phone rang with a lengthy string of encrypted numbers.


    He had seen his uncle in the Sky Patrol Bureau make such calls to report back to his superiors!


    Usually, on the other end of such calls were big shots!


    Sun Desheng didn''t dare to dy, and he quickly answered the call, "Hello, who is this?"


    "I am Elder Zhang, I have some matters to discuss with you!"


    Hm?


    Jin Yang hesitated for a few seconds, his brows furrowed, "Zhang ... you ..." He felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and he quickly held his tongue.


    "Yes! That''s right, it is the Elder Zhang you are thinking of, responsible for the military affairs of the Northwestern region ..." On the other end of the call, it was indeed Elder Zhang who was covertly maneuvering troops in the Northwestern region.


    The Guard Captain Chu Feng hade with the intention of sweeping away the Ye Family''sst hurdle, but his entire contingent had been wiped out, which made Elder Zhang somewhat anxious.


    This remaining obstacle of the Ye Family had not been dealt with for a long time, preventing many ns from being executed. The big boss above had said that if there were any troubles with the Ye Family''s affair, he wouldn''t be able to protect himself.


    Although Chu Feng had died, Elder Zhang didn''t know whether Chu Feng had implicated him before his death.


    If the Ye Family were to pick up on any small clue, and could trace it back to him once they caught their breath, then it would be troublesome.


    The old man from the Ye Family had earned his merits through real fights, and his authority within the military was immense!


    As long as Ye Changfeng still had breath in him, if the Ye Family wanted to make a move against Elder Zhang, truly no one would be able to stop them!


    So, Elder Zhang was in a hurry!


    Although Elder Zhang still had many strong subordinates, he dared not deploy them carelessly, so he had sought out Jin Yang, wishing to borrow his hand tomit the deed!


    At the very least, he needed to make some moves to show his value to the higher-ups!


    Otherwise, Elder Zhang was very aware that if he became useless, he would be quickly discarded by those above.


    "I know you have doubts about my identity, so I will do something to prove it! Your uncle, Jin Mingliang, has been the Deputy Director of the Tiannan Provincial City Sky Patrol Bureau for ten years, right? I will say the word, and he will be promoted to Director in Chief immediately, with the merit recorded under your name. You can confirm this with a phone call. I will call you back in five minutes!" Experience new stories on mvl

 Chapter 110 The Realization of Being Used!

    "Ah?"


    After hanging up the phone, Jin Yang was still somewhat stunned!


    Elder Zhang, one of the Nine Great Elders of Great Xia, actually called him?


    And it was to discuss matters with him?


    Just to make him believe, with a single sentence, he promoted his great-uncle to Director in Chief?


    The position of Director in Chief of the Sky Patrol Bureau in Tiannan Province was already a top-tier office in Tiannan Province, making him essentially the fourth most powerful person there.


    The reason the Jin Family had developed so well in the Provincial City wasrgely due to the great-uncle''s status.


    Although the great-uncle was just a deputy head, most people in the Provincial City had to give the Jin Family some face.


    And if the great-uncle were promoted to Director in Chief before sixty, then after working for a few years, he might entirely have the potential to move to the Capital and be one of the big shots there!


    Under the great-uncle''s influence, the Jin Family would absolutely be able to rise another level!


    At least, they would not be much worse off than Sun Desheng''s n.


    Instantly, Jin Yang''s gaze towards Sun Desheng was filled with a lot more confidence.


    Just as Jin Yang was about to call his family, his father Jin Mingdong''s call came in, "Son! Great news, fantastic news! Your great-uncle just received a message from the organization, saying they''ve decided to promote him, haha... to a director''s position. They said on the phone it was your doing, what exactly is going on?"


    Before his father could say much, the phone was snatched by his great-uncle Jin Mingliang, "Big nephew, quickly tell your great-uncle, who is this important figure you''ve met? Today you spent ten billion, was it to get acquainted with this heavyweight?"


    "Big nephew, your great-uncle wants to tell you! If you spent ten billion to meet that influential figure, I mustmend you, that was absolutely the right move! Haha, you know, your great-uncle''s promotion isn''t something that could be secured with just ten billion, thank you, my big nephew. In the future, whatever you request, besides my wife I can''t give you, anything else just ask!"


    On the other end of the phone, Jin Yang barely got a chance to speak, as his great-uncle and father took turns showering him with ttery, puffing him up to the skies.


    In the background, he could vaguely hear his grandfather''s satisfiedughter and his mother''s joyous modesty.


    For a moment, Jin Yang felt a huge boost to his vanity.


    Had he spent ten billion to get acquainted with that important figure?


    Of course not, he was simply targeted by a sniper and was using ten billion to save his life.


    But Jin Yang was not foolish. After today''s incident, Elder Zhang found him. And Jin Yang had heard something about Elder Zhang and the Ye Family not getting along before.


    Now Elder Zhang was reaching out to him, Jin Yang had guessed roughly what it meant.


    Elder Zhang was probably looking to use Jin Yang to deal with the Su Corporation or Ye Fan, right?


    Even though Jin Yang was clear about being used as a pawn, the party''s background was powerful enough, and the benefits offered were strong enough, Jin Yang found no reason to refuse.


    So in that case, spending ten billion could also be considered as paving the way to meet Elder Zhang, perhaps?


    "I can''t talk now, that important person is about to call!" Jin Yang directly interrupted his great-uncle and father. On the other end of the phone, the great-uncle and father were very cautious, quickly interjecting, "Yes, right! You take good care of that big shot first, we won''t ask any more! When youe back, your great-uncle will personally hold a celebration feast for you!"


    Jin Yang and his eldest uncle, after his father hung up the phone, Elder Zhang''s call came through, still on that encrypted line.


    "The news from home should have arrived by now, right? The organization''s appointment will officially take effect tomorrow! This is just a token of our first meeting... given to your eldest uncle! The gifts for your father, and for you, will only be better... All the resources I have can be unconditionally at the disposal of the Jin Family. Within a year, the Jin Family can be a top-tier wealthy family in Great Xia..."


    After demonstrating his own strength, Elder Zhang continued to describe the wonderful blueprint thaty ahead to Jin Yang.


    Jin Yang was no fool, once he confirmed that it was Elder Zhang on the other end of the line, he knew that what Elder Zhang was saying wasn''t mere bluff.


    As one of the Nine Great Elders of Great Xia Capital, he was definitely one of the people holding the highest authority in Great Xia.


    If they wished, they could make a family soar with just one sentence.


    "Elder Zhang, I understand what you mean! Please give me your instructions, what do you need me to do about Su Corporation and the Ye Family?" Although Elder Zhang said his resources could be used unconditionally, if one really believed that the offer was without conditions, then they would be a fool.


    If there were no conditions, why would someone with no blood or kinship rtions help you?


    "Young Master Jin truly is a smart man, catching on with just a hint!" Elder Zhang was indeed in a hurry and did not beat around the bush, "What you need to do is simple, just take my ce and besiege Su Corporation and the Ye Family from all fronts - business, assassination... you name it. If you can take one of them down, that will be a huge achievement. At the very least, you should make their lives miserable!"


    This was pretty much what Jin Yang had expected. Elder Zhang contacted Jin Yang to have Jin Yang deal with Ye Fan and Su Corporation.


    "I understand! However, Elder Zhang... regarding the Ye Family, I arranged an assassination today, but it seems that there''s a very powerful force secretly protecting Ye Fan. I''m afraid the power I have is not enough!"


    "Naturally, I have already sent a Gu Master from the Miaojiang Gu Cult, who should arrive in Cloud City tonight. All of their people will follow your orders! Additionally, thebined funds of thepanies under Southwest Dominance Financial Group amount to at least a hundred billion, and you can freely use it... plus, my connections in the Southwestern Region, I will send you a listter. I will also let them know in advance, they will all follow yourmand..."


    "In short, I only have one demand, which is to make Cloud City as chaotic as possible, it would be best if a few people died!"


    Jin Yang was shook to his core!


    The Dominance Financial Group was the real financial hegemon in the Southwest. The scale of its assets was far beyond the hundreds of billions Elder Zhang mentioned!


    Ding dong!


    Jin Yang was still in shock when his phone received an email. He only took one look at it and his pupils contracted in shock!


    The Deputy Governor of Tiannan Province and the Deputy Head of Patrol Defense Office, officials big and small in Cloud City...


    Did nearly half of the important positions in the entire Tiannan Province belong to Elder Zhang''s people?


    In the other provinces in the Southwest, were there also key positions upied by Elder Zhang''s people?


    Elder Zhang was really desperate, handing over all his economic power, officialworks, and dark agents to him all at once, directing him to take the lead against the Ye Family and Su Corporation!


    Was this a move to tear off the facade and fight to the death?


    "I understand, Elder Zhang! If things work out, we can talk about everything. If I fail, all actions will be solely my own initiative, and I will take all the responsibility... Let''s pretend this phone call today never happened, shall we?"


    As Jin Yang spoke, the record button on his phone was shing and working!


    Being used as a pawn, one has to have the awareness of being used as a pawn. If he didn''t leave a way out for himself, and he dragged the entire Jin Family into a predicament from which there was no return, how could he face the ancestors of the Jin Family? Stay connected with mvl

 Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Xiao Fan, I Will Treat You Well!

    "Young Master Jin is indeed a clever man! I can''t help but like you a little... Haha, I''m even considering taking you as my adopted grandson!"


    Elder Zhangughed heartily over the phone, and it was unclear whether his words were sincere or not.


    Jin Yang''s mouth twitched slightly into a smile, "Let''s talk about it after the Cloud City matter is settled!"


    Although Elder Zhang had bestowed such massive power on Jin Yang, Jin Yang felt not a trace of relief; instead, his mood became even heavier.


    Jin Yang didn''t know whether his choice was right or wrong. It was a huge gamble!


    If he won the bet, the Jin Family would shine gloriously from then on. But if he lost, the Jin Family would bepletely ruined.


    However, from the moment Elder Zhang called Jin Yang and helped Jin Mingliang ascend to the position of Director in Chief, Jin Yang no longer had a choice.


    If Jin Yang did not agree, the Jin Family probably wouldn''t have a good ending either.


    After ending the call, Jin Yang returned to the tavern, his face beaming with joy!


    "Young Master Jin, what''s the good news?" Sun Desheng caught a glimpse of Jin Yang''s expression and immediately raised his ss towards him.


    With an enchanting smile, Jin Yang replied, "Young Master Sun, from now on, in dealing with Ye Fan, we are allies once again! If Young Master Sun has any critical information, remember to share it with me in time, haha!"


    Originally irritated, Jin Yang felt much better when he thought of Baye Group and the terrifying lethality of the Miaojiang Gu Cult.


    No matter how capable Ye Fan was, he was just a fool after all.


    The mysterious protective force around Ye Fan might always guard him, but surely they couldn''t protect Su Yixue, Qing Run, and all his other friends and brothers all the time, right?


    As long as I personally lead the Gu Sect''s experts to act, poisoning a few will suffice as an exnation to Elder Zhang.


    The Gu Masters of the Miaojiang Gu Cult had once wreaked havoc in Great Xia, causing death tolls in the tens of millions.


    Only by joining forces with various powers of the Great Xia Martial Arts did the royal family manage over three years to drive those Poison Gu Masters to the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Miaojiang.


    And they issued a death decree: without official permission from Great Xia, no Gu Master may leave Miaojiang.


    Otherwise, they were to be executed without mercy!


    The reason Elder Zhang sought out those Gu Masters in Miaojiang and wanted Jin Yang to lead them was simple.


    Gu Masters were inconvenient to mobilize openly in Cloud City, so they needed Jin Yang to arrange for cover.


    "Sure! Sure�� Besides that big shot from the Capital, there''s another major yer who''s quite interested in the Ye Family! I''ll ask him tomorrow if he''s willing, and then we can have a chat. Maybe we''lle up with some good ideas to deal with the Ye Family!"


    The major yer Sun Desheng mentioned was the young man who had covertly observed Jin Yang''s actions during the day.


    He didn''t belong to the Capital nor did hee from the Provincial City; instead, he was a major yer from another level, in the same strata as the youngdy behind Thousands Treasure Pavilion.


    Experience tales at mvl


    His visit to Cloud City was naturally for the map of the Ye Family.


    However, seeing Jin Yang so effortlessly resolve the situation during the day made the young man even more cautious about his subsequent moves, deciding to wait and see a bit longer.


    If Ye Fan was merely a fool, then dealing with him would be of no difficulty.


    But if Ye Fan had already woken up and was just pretending to be foolish, then Ye Fan was too terrifying and must be handled with extreme caution.


    ��


    The next morning, Ye Fan had just woken up when Su Yixue started wriggling in his embrace and said, "Xiao Fan, today I need to go out to scope out locations for the factory, so I might not have much time to take care of you. You should stay with Sister Run!"


    Qing Run still had a few days in Cloud City, so having Ye Fan apany her was also a way to nurture their rtionship in advance.


    Moreover, Ye Fan had imed yesterday that he could help the Qing Family secure the rights to the Jade Raw Stones agency. Although Qing Run was somewhat skeptical, Su Yixue, after seeing the many miraculous methods of Ye Fan, held some belief in his words.


    Having Ye Fan stay with Run, perhaps, would solve the troubling issue of the Jade Raw Stones agency rights for the Qing Family?


    "Okay!"


    Ye Fan caressed Su Yixue''s body and teased her for a while before they both got up together.


    Downstairs in the dining room, Qing Run had already prepared breakfast, but her face was marked with dark circles, and she seemed very tired.


    "Wife Run, what''s happened to you? Didn''t you sleep wellst night?" Ye Fan asked teasingly, looking at Qing Run.


    This ''Wife Run'' title was quite amusing. She had teased himst night, wanting to give Su Yixue live guidance, but now she must have realized just how formidable he was, hadn''t she?


    "Hmph! You still have the nerve to ask... You really spared no concern for others'' feelings. Are you a bull or something?" With all the noisest night, how could Qing Run have possibly slept well?


    Qing Run hadn''t expected that Ye Fan, despite seeming a bit foolish at times, could actually be so vigorous!


    Could she withstand him when it was her turn?


    At the thought, her face turned red with shyness, and she quickly looked down to hide her inner embarrassment.


    But what she didn''t know was that Ye Fan had already guessed her thoughts and simply smiled knowingly.


    After breakfast, Su Yixue went to work at thepany, and Qing Run drove Ye Fan to attend General Song Pa''s bidding conference for the Jade Raw Stone agency rights.


    "Xiao Fan, when we get inside, don''t run off. Stick close to me, and it''s best to hold my hand at all times. Don''t get lost! If you do, bad people might take you away. Understand?" Qing Run parked the car in front of a business hotel in Cloud City and reminded Ye Fan as they got out.


    Looking at Ye Fan''s harmless appearance, Qing Run felt a pang of heartache.


    Ye Fan had lost his parents when he was young and had grown up under his grandfather''s care. Despite being a once-in-a-generation genius with limitless prospects, an ident had reduced him to his current foolish state.


    What''s even more tragic was that the Ye Family had been annihted, and once Old Master Ye passed away, Ye Fan would have no one to rely on!


    "Xiao Fan, my husband, don''t worry! We will always be by your side, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, whether you ever wake up or not, we will earnestly be your wives and bear you many healthy children!" As she spoke, Qing Run''s eyes reddened with maternal love, and she tightly embraced Ye Fan in her arms.


    Feeling the pressure of Qing Run''s voluptuous body against him and her fragrant scent, Ye Fan''s lips curved into a mischievous smile.


    Sister-inw, I''m not a fool anymore!


    If you keep this up, I won''t be able to handle it!


    As Qing Run shifted her body slightly, she felt the changes in Ye Fan''s physique; his manhood was rising spiritedly, ready for battle at any moment.


    Tch!


    You rotten scoundrel, even though the person hasn''te to, the body is honest enough!


    Qing Run felt a bit shy and wanted to dodge away, but remembering that sooner orter she would belong to Ye Fan, herplexion flushed yet she held him even closer, "Xiao Fan, my husband..."


    Her eyes shimmering enticingly as she whispered his name, Run suddenly threw back her head, her red lips pressing towards Ye Fan''s...

 Chapter 112 Lick my shoes clean, and Ill let you off the hook!

    Uh!


    A sweet taste filled his mouth, brimming with fragrance!


    She was already his wife, and such a fine one at that; Ye Fan certainly wouldn''t refuse. In an instant, he reversed their roles, taking Qing Run''s cherry lips into his mouth.


    Hmm?


    Qing Run, already bashful, was shocked to find Ye Fan taking the initiative to advance on her, her pupils dting in surprise.


    But she was quickly intoxicated by that marvelous sensation, her body going limp in Ye Fan''s arms, allowing his hands to roam freely over her body.


    This dead rascal!


    Who said he was a fool?


    He clearly knows how!


    Hmph!


    Qing Run was both shy and somewhat reconciled to it.


    After a long while, short of breath from the kissing, she reluctantly pulled away from Ye Fan, realizing they were at the hotel entrance with so many peopleing and going. Qing Run pouted and struck him lightly on the chest, "Xiao Fan, you''re terrible, always bullying me!"


    Her coquettish and charming manner was so tempting that Ye Fan really felt his appetite stirred, wanting to take Qing Run right then and there.


    Ye Fan urgently needed a breakthrough in strength; aside from the help of the Undying Bone, the me of Warmth was the fastest method. Su Yixue alone waspletely insufficient!


    "Hehe!" Ye Fan wrapped his arm around Qing Run''s slender waist and stepped towards the hotel, "The naughtier stuff is yet toe!"


    Hmm?


    Listening to Ye Fan''s words, Qing Run''s expression froze, temporarily unable to discern Ye Fan''s current state!


    Was he still in his foolish state, or had he awoken?


    Qing Run had taken the initiative to kiss Ye Fan, thinking he was still in his foolish state, and that her forwardness wouldn''t be so embarrassing.


    But if Ye Fan had been awake just now, her taking such initiative... Ah, she would die of embarrassment!


    One must remember that just a few days ago, Qing Run was still Ye Fan''s sister-inw!


    By a twist of fate and the influence of various forces, she had be Ye Fan''s wife.


    That too was the marvel of destiny!


    But Qing Run had no time to continue pondering, as she quickly detected a marvelous change within her body.


    me of Warmth!


    From the skin contact and intimacy with Ye Fan just now, Qing Run felt a powerful warm current emerge within her body.


    That current surged and swirled inside her, nourishing Qing Run''s body and rapidly enhancing her Martial Arts Qi.


    This...


    Intimate contact with Ye Fan could actually bring such benefits?


    Now, Qing Run seemed to understand how Su Yixue, after a few days of not seeing her, had already stepped into the Martial Realm, almost surpassing the Above Control level.


    Was this the reason?


    Qing Run turned to look at Ye Fan, her eyes filled with light.


    Ye Fan actually possessed such a tremendous secret; this must also be the reason for his previously monstrous progress, right?


    Although Ye Fan had an ident and became mentally disabled, his talent was not lost.


    But that Xuan Yufei actually gave up on Ye Fan�� She was essentially giving up on a treasure trove. She would regret it in the future!


    If Ye Fan possessed such powerful talent, shouldn''t she get closer to Ye Fan as soon as possible?


    Moreover, she needed to share this secret with her other sisters!


    After all, only if everyone''s strength improved would those murderers who targeted the Ye Family be more wary and not dare to continue attacking the Ye Family!


    ...


    "Yo! Isn''t this the Ye Family''s idiotic young master? Hehe�� You were quite impressive at Thousands Treasure Pavilion�� Are you here to cause trouble again today?"


    As soon as Ye Fan and Qing Run had entered, they encountered an old acquaintance.


    It was none other than Sun Desheng, who had shed with Ye Fan at Thousands Treasure Pavilion.


    During that incident, Sun Desheng went to confront Thousands Treasure Pavilion with the intent of certain victory, but due to Ye Fan''s meddling, Sun Desheng lost face in front of a millionizens and nearly destroyed the business of Jewelry Studio.


    Today, Sun Desheng had actually been afraid Ye Fan wouldn''te!


    After all, if Ye Fan didn''t show up, he would have no ce to show off.


    Now that Ye Fan had arrived, and with Qing Run no less, Sun Desheng immediately felt invigorated.


    Your adventure continues at mvl


    A big shot from the Capital had arranged for Sun Desheng to meet General Song Pa, with the purpose of cutting off the source of Qing Run''s Jade Raw Stones and bringing down the Qing Family. Now that Qing Run had openly dered she would marry Ye Fan, they were enemies too.


    "Miss Qing, I heard your family has run into big trouble! Without a source for Jade Raw Stones, your group''s stockpile can''tst even a month, right?" Sun Desheng continued with a smug face, "Let me tell you in secret, Miss Qing, that all the arrangements for General Song Pa''s visit to Great Xia are being personally handled by me. The quota for the jade agency rights has already been determined, and it''s my Sun Family. Miss Qing, you can save your efforts!"


    "How about this, Miss Qing, kneel before me and lick my shoes clean. Maybe if I''m in a good mood, I will give the Qing Family some raw stones to extend your survival for a few days, hahaha!"


    Sun Desheng immensely enjoyed the feeling of having someone at his mercy, and seeing Ye Fan on the side with a nk face, Sun Desheng continued, "What a pity, Ye Fan! Although you have such a beautiful wife, you are just a fool. What can you do if you can''t safeguard your own cabbage? When other men bully your wife in front of you, you''ll probably apuse and cheer!"


    "Sun Desheng, don''t go too far! Dare to bully my wife, and I''m not finished with you!" Qing Run scolded, her eyebrows furrowed as she listened to Sun Desheng''s venomous words.


    But Sun Desheng was no longer the same Sun Desheng as before. With the support of a big shot from the Capital, Sun Desheng boasted confidently, "What can you do if I bully you? Your Qing Family can''t even save themselves, yet you want to protect the Ye Family? Hehe�� Let me tell you, soon, all of your Qing Family''s sales channels, as well as the supply channels, will be cut off, and begging me then will be useless..."


    Ye Fan listened to Sun Desheng''s words with furrowed eyebrows on the side.


    From what Sun Desheng said, Ye Fan heard another meaning.


    Sun Desheng had indeed made an enemy of Ye Fan before, but Sun Desheng''s own family did not have the courage to contend with the Ye Family, even if the Ye Family had already declined.


    And now Sun Desheng seemed to have gained the backing of a big shot!


    Hmph!


    Those who took action against the Ye Family were at it again?


    Back at Thousands Treasure Pavilion, Ye Fan''s conflict with Sun Desheng was merely about supporting Manager Wu!


    But now, Sun Desheng had calcted against Ye Fan himself and even wanted to ckmail Qing Run with the matter of jade agency rights. Ye Fan naturally could not bear it.


    Phut!


    While Sun Desheng was only caring about his own pleasure in speaking, Ye Fan had already taken action. He grabbed Sun Desheng''s shoe and yanked it off before Sun Desheng could react, and immediately stuffed it into Sun Desheng''s mouth.


    Worried that Sun Desheng''s mouth wouldn''t fit the shoe, Ye Fan considerately pped the back of the shoe after the toe had entered Sun Desheng''s mouth, shoving most of the shoe fully into Sun Desheng''s mouth.


    "Mmmph! Ye Fan�� You�� are dead..." Sun Desheng felt like his mouth was about to burst, tears streaming down his cheeks!


    And the foul stench from inside his own shoe was rushing furiously into Sun Desheng''s mouth. The sour and putrid smell made Sun Desheng feel nauseated and want to vomit, but he couldn''t even vomit out. It was so unbearable he almost went mad...

 Chapter 113 Kneel Down and Bark Like a Dog!

    ```


    Butpared to the disgust in his mouth, what infuriated Sun Desheng even more was the humiliation!


    The mercantile conference today, although Sun Desheng knew it was just a formality, had already attracted representatives from over a hundredpanies, and several hundred people had arrived at the site!


    Everyone knew that Sun Desheng organized and hosted the conference today.


    Some were also aware that the role of General Song Pa''s proxy was basically already earmarked for Sun Desheng.


    And yet, under such circumstances, on his own turf, Sun Desheng had been bullied by Ye Fan.


    It didn''t just bring shame to him��it brought it upon his home!


    If he didn''t teach Ye Fan a lesson, not only would Sun Desheng lose face, but the big shot behind Sun Desheng would probably not let him off the hook either.


    After all, the big shot from the Capital was so supportive of Sun Desheng because he wanted Sun Desheng to suppress Qing Run and the Ye Family!


    "Come, kill him for me!" Sun Desheng bellowed, and a group of ck-d bodyguards rushed out from the side of the hall, each exuding a strong Martial Arts Qi.


    Most of them possessed the strength of the Control Realm, and among them, several were even at the Grandmaster Realm.


    What was critical was that Ye Fan realized these martial arts experts were not Great Xia people but Japanese warriors?


    Had Sun Desheng colluded with the Japanese dogs?


    ording to Great Xia''s regtions, Japanese warriors needed to report their presence upon entering within the Great Xia Realm.


    With so many powerful warriors suddenly appearing at Sun Desheng''s ce, they probably hadn''t reported, right? Or could it be that the official side had deliberately turned a blind eye?


    After all, many of those who were against the Ye Family obviously held high positions; without official support, they would not be able to attack the Ye Family''s core disciples so easily on the Six Great Battlefields simultaneously.


    "Presumptuous, who dares toy a finger on our young master!"


    Ye Fan was still considering whether to kill all these Japanese dogs, when, behind him, four stunningly beautiful young women dressed in jeans emerged in a sh, charging at the martial arts bodyguards ahead.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    With just a few easy moves, the Japanese warriors were smashed to the ground, lying motionless like dead dogs.


    The four gorgeous young women turned and respectfully bowed to Ye Fan, "Young master, the master has ordered that from now on, we four shall not leave your side and will be responsible for your safety!"


    Explore more at mvl


    These four young women were none other than the Four Great Maids left to Ye Fan by his mother, all with strengths above the Grandmaster Realm.


    "Good!" Ye Fan was not averse to it; having these beauties around was pleasing to the eye. Moreover, they could indeed handle some simple matters for him.


    Whoosh!


    The several hundred people on site had their attention focused here.


    Now that the battle had ended so easily at the hands of the four stunning maids, their gaze intensified.


    All were curiously observing the scene, the Four Great Maids who popped up were Grandmaster Realm powerhouses!


    Weren''t Ye Fan''s core ten disciples all already in, and wasn''t there a rumor that the Ye Family was on the brink of copse? How could the Ye Family still have such powerful experts?


    Sun Desheng finally managed to pull the shoe out of his mouth and, seeing the Japanese assassin squad he had arranged so easily dealt with, was bbergasted.


    What was this mess?


    This was not what the big shot from the Capital had in mind!


    The big shot had assured him when lending support that the Ye Family had run out of luck, their ten core disciples in, and their other strong members had all scattered.


    ```


    Furthermore, ording to their urate intelligence, there were not many fighters above the Grandmaster Realm in the Ye Family to begin with.


    But now, four stunningly beautiful maids have made their move, all at the Grandmaster Realm. How could they possibly continue to y this game?


    "Young Master, should we also take care of this guy on the side? Those who collude with the Japanese dogs are no good!" Xiao Wen, the leader of the four maids, spoke to Ye Fan with a gentle voice, but her actions were anything but soft.


    Xiao Wen''s words made Sun Desheng''s neck involuntarily shrink.


    Sun Desheng, whose own strength barely entered the Martial Arts Realm, was no match for the Four Great Maids. If they really took action, then Sun Desheng''s death would be certain.


    Thinking of this, Sun Desheng began frantically signaling the other hidden Martial Lords with gestures, urging them to take action.


    But the few Martial Lords hidden in the shadows remained unmoved, even transmitting a message to Sun Desheng, "It''s not appropriate to act here; we''ll find another opportunity."


    The atmosphere at the scene started to be awkward!


    All eyes were intently focused on Ye Fan. The outside world knew Ye Fan as a fool, and how he would handle this situation would give everyone a new perspective on him.


    After a moment of thought, Ye Fan made his judgement.


    He knew that Sun Desheng was just a pawn at the forefront, whose life or death was of trivial importance.


    For Ye Fan, killing Sun Desheng was as easy as crushing an ant. What mattered was dealing with the person behind Sun Desheng, causing them to lose face, to feel humiliated and infuriated, and then to expose themselves.


    "So fun, so fun! He likes dogs, I want to see him crawl on the ground like a dog, and even bark like one!" Ye Fan''s face bore an innocent look, while he chanted and pped his hands at the same time.


    If he weren''t a fool, nobody would believe it!


    s!


    Seeing Ye Fan''s behavior, the crowd couldn''t help but sigh deeply. The Ye Family''s genius young master indeed still appeared foolish!


    If it were them, Sun Desheng would certainly not get off easily!


    But what they didn''t know was that when Ye Fan was stuffing the shoe into Sun Desheng''s mouth earlier, the Inheritance Qi in his hands had already infiltrated Sun Desheng''s body, controlling his life force.


    Taking Sun Desheng''s life would be a matter of moments.


    "Aren''t you following my young master''s orders? Do you want to die?" Xiao Wen stepped forward, her body surging with Martial Breath, pressing down on Sun Desheng.


    Sun Desheng''s face was bitter as he looked at the many guests present, almost ready to cry!


    If he were to kneel down and bark like a dog, it would be even more humiliating than apologizing at the Thousands Treasure Pavilionst time. Moreover, considering the time, General Song Pa should be getting up anding downstairs soon. If he saw Sun Desheng in this state, would the cooperation between the Sun Family and General Song Pa be affected?


    Still hesitant, Sun Desheng watched as Maid Nan Sheng and the others, unable to wait any longer, grabbed a chair and smashed it down on Sun Desheng''s knees, "Can''t kneel? Let this youngdy help you"


    Pfft!


    Sun Desheng was struck down to kneel on the ground directly, and although his eyes were full of resentment, he didn''t dare say another word.


    "You, do you know who is behind me? From the Capital..." Sun Desheng was about to continue and reveal the big shot supporting him, but suddenly, he saw a pair of sharp eyes in the crowd staring dead at him, full of threat.


    That was the person sent by the big shot to assist Sun Desheng!


    Saying it was assistance, in fact, meant monitoring him.


    Sun Desheng''s heart tightened, knowing he couldn''t expose the big shot behind him. Swallowing all the grievances, he had to endure it all alone...


    "Woof, woof..."

 Chapter 114 Believe me, General Song Pa will come to you!

    With tears of frustration nearly flowing, Sun Desheng had no choice but to lie on the ground, barking like a dog while crawling around the hall!


    One must swallow the bitter fruits of their own nting.


    How could over ten Dongying powerhouses be inferior even to the Ye Family''s Four Great Maids? Just how terrifying was the strength of the Ye Family''s foundation?


    Now, Sun Desheng was starting to regret having agreed to help that big shot make a move.


    Just like Jin Yang, Sun Desheng knew at the time of agreement that by stepping forward, he was clearly being used as a pawn by that influential person from the Capital, but he didn''t expect the Ye Family to be so strong.


    But at this moment, it was toote for Sun Desheng to regret.


    Now, Sun Desheng could only hope that the Martial Lord sent by the big shot from the Capital could take care of Ye Fan. Read new chapters at ��??


    Or perhaps, Jin Yang could take out Ye Fan!


    Otherwise, by now he, representing the Sun Family, had formed a life-and-death enmity with Ye Fan, the Su Family, and the Qing Family.


    Once the Ye Family had a chance to recover, his own family would definitely be the first to be cannon fodder.


    Rustle!


    Sun Desheng had just crawled a few steps when a flurry of footsteps outside the hall sounded, and a portly middle-aged man, apanied by a group of young men in camouge uniforms, quickly approached the hall entrance.


    "General Song Pa!"


    "General Song Pa!"


    Those who recognized him immediately had their attention drawn, greeting the middle-aged man with excited faces.


    This man was none other than the biggest warlord of the Border Region of Myanmar, who also controlled the country''srgest jade mining operations.


    Qing Run, standing by Ye Fan''s side, also wanted to step forward to greet General Song Pa, but she felt somewhat apprehensive.


    After all, the Qing Family''s scale had never reached the level required to negotiate with General Song Pa.


    s!


    If only she could get acquainted with General Song Pa, how wonderful that would be!


    Even if General Song Pa didn''t give her the jade raw stone agency rights, a word from him would surely make life much easier for the Qing Family in the future.


    Ye Fan, watching the changing expressions on Qing Run beside him, guessed her thoughts and gently hugged her waist, coaxing, "Wife Run, don''t worry, the jade agency rights will definitely be yours! Soon, Song Pa wille over and greet you on his own initiative!"


    "Song Pae and greet me? How could that be possible?" Qing Run was startled, then slightly amused.


    It''s true that the Qing Family had a small reputation for dealing in jewelry in the Southwestern Region, but they were not yet qualified to have a direct conversation with General Song Pa. And besides, she had never even met General Song Pa before, so how could he possiblye to greet her?


    At this moment, with Sun Desheng lying on the ground barking like a dog, he let out a coldugh, "Who do you think you are? General Song Pae and greet you? Dream on!"


    Pfft!


    No sooner had Sun Desheng spoken out of turn than Ye Fan, without any hesitation, violently kicked him in the mouth, "I told you to bark like a dog, why aren''t you listening? Grandpa says, if a dog doesn''t obey, you must beat it until it does!"


    "..."


    Sun Desheng was just so frustrated!


    Tears almost streamed down his face.


    God damn it!


    After all, he was also a young master of a prominent family in the Provincial City, when was he ever humiliated like this?


    And to make matters worse, it was happening right in front of General Song Pa, losing all face!


    Keep in mind, Sun Desheng was currently representing a big shot from the Capital; what would General Song Pa think when he saw this?


    Themotion naturally caught the attention of General Song Pa. Song Pa turned his head to look over here and saw Sun Desheng actually kneeling on the ground, barking like a dog.


    General Song Pa furrowed his brow, just about to scold, but suddenly his eyes caught Ye Fan standing beside Qing Run.


    As General Song Pa looked towards Ye Fan, Ye Fan also stared back at him with a smile on his face.


    "Ah... isn''t this..." General Song Pa eximed in surprise, just as he was about to scold loudly, a quiet voice suddenly reached his ear, "Don''t reveal it, I am now the Ye Family''s fool with a disability... That''s my wife Qing Run next to me, the president of the Provincial City Qing''s Jewelry Group, you figure it out!"


    Those words instantly stunned General Song Pa!


    What was going on?


    Naturally, General Song Pa had heard of the fool with a disability from the Ye Family, that monstrous genius.


    At fifteen, he was already a strong fighter in the Grandmaster Realm, and had there been no car ident five years ago, by now, he must at the very least be a powerful figure in the Martial Venerable Realm!


    The key was his youth, his future prospects were boundless!


    Yet, it was precisely then, during that time, a car ident had turned the Ye Family''s genius into a fool.


    And more coincidentally, General Song Pa only understood now that the one who, in the Border Region, had saved him several times and helped treat his daughter''s illness was precisely the monstrous genius from the Ye Family.


    Ye Fan intended to feign foolishness... With a bit of thought, General Song Pa quickly understood.


    All ten core members of the Ye Family had been schemed against, and if Ye Fan didn''t keep a low profile, the Ye Family would be done for.


    Ye Fan had introduced the Qing Run beside him, and the implications were all too clear.


    The people present today were all here for the jade agency rights.


    Since the Qing Family was in the jewelry business, naturally, they were here for the same reason.


    To General Song Pa, Ye Fan was like a savior; without Ye Fan, General Song Pa wouldn''t have everything he now possessed. Agency rights were small beans; if Ye Fan took any interest in them, it would be General Song Pa''s honor.


    Without any hesitation, General Song Pa pushed away the people surrounding him and trotted towards Ye Fan and Qing Run.


    All eyes followed General Song Pa as he moved in their direction.


    When Sun Desheng saw General Song Paing over, a hint of joy shed in his eyes, "General, hurry... save me, this trash Ye Fan is bullying me..."


    Sun Desheng knew that the ck bodyguard alongside General Song Pa was also at the Martial Venerable Realm.


    If General Song Pa intervened, he could definitely save Sun Desheng.


    "Get lost!"


    Seeing Sun Desheng crawling towards him, General Song Pa did not even nce at him, he coldly scolded and kicked Sun Desheng away, continuing his walk towards Ye Fan and Qing Run, and even from a distance, extended his hand towards Qing Run.


    Qing Run''s pupils dted as she looked at the scene before her, hardly able to believe it.


    Was General Song Pa really here to see her?


    "Miss Qing, I''ve long admired your name! Qing''s Jewelry has been gaining arger andrger market share in the Southwestern Region, and I''ve wanted to coborate with Miss Qing for a long time. If we join hands, I''m sure we can make the business even bigger!" General Song Pa enthusiastically extended both hands and shook hands with Qing Run.


    But itpletely baffled Qing Run.


    Indeed, the Qing Family''s jewelry business was doing well, but it wasn''t as exaggerated as to warrant such a response, right?


    General Song Pa had wanted to coborate with her for a long time, but why hadn''t she heard anything about it before?


    Qing Run thought back to what Ye Fan had said, that General Song Pa would soone looking for her, and now it had be a reality so quickly?


    Qing Run was not foolish; she was keenly aware that Song Pa''s attitude towards her must be rted to Ye Fan!


    Was it the Ye Family''s influence?


    But with the current situation of the Ye Family, everyone was steering clear. Could it be that General Song Pa still possessed such courage to stand with the Ye Family?


    What kind of magic power did Ye Fan have?

 Chapter 115 Making a Wedding Dress for Someone!

    "This must be Miss Qing''s husband, Young Master Ye, right? Young Master Ye is such a demonic talent, emerging unharmed from a car ident �� that surely forebodes tremendous fortune! Miss Qing, rest assured, Young Master Ye will definitely wake up!"


    General Song Pa, upon noticing Qing Run''s gaze towards Ye Fan, quickly extended his hand towards Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, I''ve long admired you!"


    General Song Pa shook Ye Fan''s hand vigorously, his eyes zing with intensity as he looked at him.


    In those eyes were gratitude, admiration, and submission!


    Towards Ye Fan, General Song Pa was truly convinced.


    Back when he was in the Southwest Border Area, Ye Fan, still just a young man, had shown remarkableposure, and crucially, had swept through tens of thousands of troops alone, as if entering an uninhabitednd.


    When he was ughtering those drug traffickers, his strategy, skill, and methods all lived up to the title of a monstrous talent.


    "Miss Qing, you made such a decision in front of so many people, truly a female hero, making Song Pa feel ashamed and utmost admiration! Miss Qing will also surely have tremendous fortune in the future..."


    Song Pa didn''t skimp on his praises, showering both Ye Fan and Qing Run withpliments.


    Qing Run, somewhat embarrassed by the praise, responded, "General Song Pa is too polite. It was all that I should do. Please,e inside!"


    "Miss Qing, Young Master Ye, after you!"


    General Song Pa gestured for Qing Run and Ye Fan to proceed, and only after seeing Ye Fan move did Song Pa follow a step behind, heading towards the hall together.


    Sun Desheng was left kneeling alone on the ground, his thoughts in disarray.


    No...


    The one apanying General Song Pa into the main hall now, shouldn''t it be him?


    He hadbored throughout most ofst night, tending to every need, just for the purpose of demonstrating in front of all these people today the close rtionship he had with General Song Pa, to reim some face for the Sun Family, right?


    How did it end up with him making a wedding dress for someone else again?


    "General Song Pa�� You��"


    Sun Desheng tried to stand up and call out to General Song Pa, but Maid Nan Sheng by Ye Fan''s side had no qualms about scolding him, "Looking for death, aren''t you? Keep crawling!"


    Nan Sheng''s scolding caused General Song Pa to nce their way.


    Realizing that the Martial Arts Qi emanating from the four maids, including Nan Sheng, was at the Grandmaster Realm, General Song Pa couldn''t help but silently wipe the sweat from his forehead.


    Thank goodness!


    He had very nearly, just by the smallest margin, been led astray by Sun Desheng.


    If he had really announced today that the jade agency rights would be given to the Sun Family, he would havepletely offended both the Qing and the Ye Families.


    With the Ye Family''s current powerful foundation, how could there be any good oue from offending them?


    Qing Run apanied General Song Pa as they sat down in the main seats of the hall, and the ce instantly quieted down.


    Everyone had thought that today''s agency rights had already been decided for the Sun Family. Your journey continues with ��??


    But now, from General Song Pa''s recent words, everyone could tell that General Song Pa wanted to form an alliance with the Qing Family. That implication was already very clear, could the agency rights for today be falling into the hands of the Qing Family?


    But what does the Qing Family have to their credit?


    "General Song Pa, allow me to introduce myself! I am from the Southwest Xu Family, engaged in the jewelry business for many years, and have very extensive channels..."


    A middle-aged man stood up and began to introduce himself to General Song Pa, "If General Song Pa entrusts the agency rights to me, I guarantee to increase the sales several times overpared to before!"


    "Indeed! My Yang Family can do it too, our brick-and-mortar stores are the most numerous in the entire Southwestern Region, and our distribution channels are more mature, iparable to those small families!"


    Once someone had started, the people below began introducing the strengths of their ownpanies one after another, all wanting to seize the jade agency rights for themselves.


    After all, obtaining the total agency rights from General Song Pa in Great Xia would mean handling a business scale of at least a hundred billion, with profits starting from several tens of billions. If sales reached several hundred billion, then just the profits could be over a hundred billion.


    More crucially, holding these agency rights in hand also represented a status and control of connections.


    General Song Pa looked indifferently at the crowd, and after several had spoken and their voices died down, he raised his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen! There''s no need to waste time, I truly appreciate everyoneing to attend today''s investment meeting! However, I have already decided on the allocation of the jade agency rights, for the next ten years, all will be represented by Qing''s Jewelry, all jade-rted business dealings behind Song Pa in Great Xia will be fully managed by the Qing Corporation!"


    "Ah?" When Qing Run heard Song Pa''s words, her pupils dted in shock.


    Though Qing Run had already guessed such an oue from Song Pa''s earlier remarks, when Song Pa officially announced the result, she still found it somewhat surreal.


    "Moreover, there needs to be a change regarding the profits," General Song Pa continued to add.


    Qing Run had no objections, "I agree, the previous agency profit sharing was thirty percent, the Qing Family can ept twenty or even ten percent."


    Qing Run came today to seek an opportunity primarily to resolve the issue of the Qing Family''s supply chain disruption.


    As long as she could fix the Qing Family''s supply problem, preventing their supplies from being cut off by the Ye Family''spetitors, let alone maintaining some profits, even if there were none, Qing Run was willing.


    Besides, even if it was only ten percent profit share, that would still be a scale of over ten billion.


    The representatives from the other families below watched enviously, yet they were helpless!


    "Miss Qing, you misunderstand! The profit change I''m talking about isn''t about reducing the agency''s profits, but from now on, the profit sharing will be fifty-fifty, or maybe forty-sixty, with Miss Qing taking sixty percent!" General Song Pa said, his gaze shifting to Ye Fan at the side, observing the changes in Ye Fan''s expression.


    "Of course, if Miss Qing temporarily has issues with capital, I am willing to forego profits temporarily!"


    General Song Pa was afraid that his offer would displease Ye Fan, who, if upset, could create trouble for him.


    Originally, Song Pa had granted the agency rights to Qing Run as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude; he intended to carry out the deed beautifully.


    "Ah? Fifty-fifty share�� General Song Pa, this��" Qing Run, excited, stood up, looking at General Song Pa with some iprehension.


    Hiss!


    Even the less perceptive representatives below could see that something was amiss.


    There must have been some rtionship between General Song Pa, Ye Fan, and Qing Run that the others were unaware of.


    Because what General Song Pa had decided was already viting business norms; why conduct business if not for profits?


    Song Pa nced at Ye Fan, knowing that if he didn''t provide an exnation, there would be all kinds of wild spections, even guessing at his rtionship with Qing Run.


    "I''m not joking! To be honest, I have some history with Young Master Ye. Five years ago, Young Master Ye saved my life in the Border Region, and since Miss Qing is Young Master Ye''s wife, it is my honor to cooperate with her!"


    Whew!


    With Song Pa''s exnation, Qing Run immediately let go of her concerns.


    Is that how it was?


    Qing Run thought back to what Ye Fan had said the day before, about how the jade agency rights would definitely be hers. Could it be that at that time, Ye Fan already knew?


    Ye Fan had woken up?


    Hmph!


    That damn rascal, if Missy finds out he dared to deceive me, he''ll have iting��

 Chapter 116 Threaten me? Break both legs!

    ```


    Whoosh!


    After General Song Pa exined, a wave of shock ran through the representatives below!


    "What''s the point of ying anymore, so Young Master Ye had already nned for today''s events?"


    "s! Monstrous talent really is different, even now in his foolish state, there are still people protecting him!"


    "Just, doesn''t General Song Pa know the current situation of the Ye Family? Siding with the Ye Family at this time, I''m afraid there will be big trouble in the future!"


    The scene was noisy, and Sun Desheng, who had crawled over from afar, heard General Song Pa''s final decision and could no longer care about anything else, as he directly stood up from the ground.


    "General Song Pa, didn''t the big shot and you agree yesterday? The jade agency rights must be given to my Sun Family... Howe you suddenly handed them over to the Qing Family?"


    Sun Desheng was determined to stop the agency rights agreement from being signed.


    The Qing Family was that big shot''s sworn enemy. The big shot in the Capital had Sun Desheng step in, with the goal being to suppress the Qing Family. Now, with all the rights to the jade controlled by the Qing Family, there was no point in suppressing them anymore.


    Moreover, with the agency rights for jade in their hands, the Qing Family would have the initiative.


    I''m afraid that for the sake of a smooth supply of goods, those who previously agreed with the Sun Family to join forces against the Qing Family, will turn their coats and switch to the Qing Family''s side.


    "Humph! Sun Desheng, are we close? Does this general need your instruction on how to conduct affairs?" Song Pa red coldly at Sun Desheng and said, "If you dare to keep babbling, be careful that I chop you up and throw you out as dog food!"


    As a militarymander in charge of tens of thousands of troops, when General Song Pa got angry, he naturally had an imposing authority that instantly put pressure on Sun Desheng, causing him to tremble.


    "But... General Song Pa, don''t forget, if you hand over the jade agency rights to the Qing Family, those conditions promised to you by the big shot can''t be met! Moreover, the big shot has some of your information, which if leaked, would be bad for everyone..."


    Read thetest on ��??


    Sun Desheng was really anxious and blurted out many things that the big shot had instructed him to say, in front of so many people.


    That one sentencepletely enraged Song Pa.


    "Are you threatening me?" Song Pa stood up swiftly, staring coldly at Sun Desheng, "Is this your idea? Or is it the rubbish in the Capital''s idea? Tell your master that he... this general hasn''t even taken him seriously! Cooperating with him was giving him face, and without cooperating, then what? Does he really think that without him, business in Great Xia can''t be conducted?"


    In the crowd, the young man sent by the Capital''s big shot, upon hearing Sun Desheng''s words, was so angry that he stomped his feet!


    Fool!


    How could such words be spoken in front of so many people?


    And could a militarymander like General Song Pa be threatened?


    s!


    "Anthony, go break his legs and throw him out!" Song Pa suppressed the rage in his heart, "I''m sparing your life, and that''s umting virtue for my daughter! If it were ording to my old temper, I would''ve dragged my knife and chopped you dead already!"


    "Yes!"


    By General Song Pa''s side, a brawny man swiftly moved, his Martial Arts Qi surging rapidly; with a snap, he directly broke both of Sun Desheng''s legs and then threw him out of the hall.


    "Ah! My legs...Ahhh..." Sun Desheng was in so much pain that he let out a series of screams, rolling on the ground heartbreakingly, and his cries of agony echoed through the hall.


    Compared to the physical pain, Sun Desheng felt even more desperate with the sadness and despair in his heart.


    He had messed up this time, how would he exin to the big shot in the Capital?


    After all, the big shot there had already given the Sun Family so many benefits; without the corresponding returns, he would certainly be punished.


    "Gentlemen, does anyone else have any objections?" Having dealt with Sun Desheng''s matter, General Song Pa swept his gaze over the other families and representatives present, "In the future, the jade and jewelry industry in Great Xia will need everyone to give their support!"


    ```


    "Sure, sure!"


    "No objections, no objections!"


    Seeing the fate of Sun Desheng, which of the families present there would dare to speak more?


    "Since that''s the case, Miss Qing, let''s sign the contract here and now. I''ve had my secretary make some changes to the contract terms, and the profit-sharing ratio has been altered! You can have your legal team review it!"


    General Song Pa respectfully handed several contracts over to Qing Run, indicating that it was time for her to sign.


    While Qing Run was still hesitant, Ye Fan stepped forward and passed her the pen first, "Wife Run, go ahead and sign! There won''t be any problems with the contract!"


    Knowing his own identity, of course, Song Pa wouldn''t dare to y any tricks in front of Ye Fan.


    If Song Pa dared to make any small moves, Ye Fan had at least a hundred ways to deal with him.


    "Okay!" After the incident just now, Qing Run trusted Ye Fan unconditionally, picked up the pen, and quickly signed her name on several partnership documents.


    There were originally dozens of media outlets at the scene, but most of them were arranged to be there by Sun Desheng and the big wigs behind him.


    At that moment, seeing the other few media taking photos of the signing ceremony, they all hesitated.


    "Reporter Zhang, do you think we should take the photos or not?"


    "Right! I''ve already written the news report, just waiting for the photos, but now this..."


    "Take a damn photo! Hurry up and withdraw, ah, as long as they''ve already paid, it doesn''t matter!"


    The investment conference ended with Qing Run triumphing.


    The ceremony hadn''t even concluded before a crowd swarmed forward to congratte Qing Run.


    "Miss Qing, there were some misunderstandings between ourpany and the Qing Family previously. I would like to apologize to you here, and ask for your generous forgiveness. We hope not to be seen as petty and look forward to future cooperation with you," one said.


    "Exactly! Miss Qing, we still owe payment for a batch of goods from you. I will arrange for finance to transfer the funds immediately. We hope our future partnership can continue to besting!" another added.


    Everyone was fawning over Qing Run, including the bosses of the big jewelrypanies in the Southwestern Region, such as Xu Family Inc., who were also ingratiating themselves with Qing Run.


    They had no choice but to do so!


    The jade supply within the Great Xia Realm mostly came from Myanmar.


    And now, with the entire distribution rights within the Great Xia Realm under Qing Run''s control, if they offended her and lost their supply, they would have to either buy high-priced goods from other channels or shut down.


    Though somewhat overwhelmed by the attention, Qing Run was after all the CEO of a ten-billion dorpany, and she very soon began to handle the situation with ease.


    "Miss Qing, please go ahead with your business... I wonder if your husband could spare me a few minutes? I have some things I''d like to discuss privately with Young Master Ye," General Song Pa said, seizing an opportunity in the midst of the scene unfolding before him.


    It had already been five years since theirst meeting, and General Song Pa indeed had some matters he wished to discuss with Ye Fan.


    But most importantly, his daughter had been making a fuss for many years about wanting to find her ''big brother'', and General Song Pa had to fulfill this task!


    "This..." Although General Song Pa was not a bad person, Qing Run was still somewhat concerned for Ye Fan''s safety.


    The maid Xiao Wen spoke up, "Miss Qing, don''t worry. With us here, nothing will happen!"


    As one of the Four Great Maids arranged by Ye Fan''s mother, they clearly knew that Ye Fan had already awakened, and his strength was at the Martial Emperor Level. Looking across the entire Great Xia, there were very few who could harm Ye Fan...

 Chapter 117 The List of Infiltrators, Kill Them One by One!

    Ye Fan had indeed witnessed the power of Xiao Wen and Nan Sheng just now!


    "Well, alright then!"


    Anyways, he was right nearby, so nothing should go wrong.


    With Qing Run''s permission, General Song Pa called out to Ye Fan and led him to a nearby resting room.


    As soon as the door of the resting room closed, General Song Pa immediately embraced Ye Fan tightly, "Young Master Ye, it''s been five years, I''ve missed you terribly!"


    Ye Fan pushed General Song Pa away and said indifferently, "I''m not interested in men! Speak, what do you want to tell me?"


    Song Pa was not offended but instead spoke with a somewhat grave expression, "Young Master Ye, I have already learnt a bit about the situation of the Ye Family! Moreover, after I arrived in Cloud Cityst night, an elder from the Capital contacted me, asking me to cooperate with the Sun Family to suppress the Ye Family and the Qing Family. At that time, I didn''t know you were the prodigious talent of the Ye Family..."


    General Song Pa did not hold back any details of his actions fromst night, sharing all the information he knew.


    "The big shot from the Capital is named Tang Zheng, one of the Nine Great Elders, belonging to the Tang Family in the Capital. I''ve had some dealings with him in the past; he used his connections to supply me with some weapons, and wielding some leverage over me, Sun Desheng thought to use this as a threat today... But am I the sort to be afraid?"


    After listening to Song Pa''s words, Ye Fan''s expression darkened.


    Tang Zheng!


    Another elder!


    Humph!


    Together with Elder Zhang, who is situated in the Northwest, there are already two Great Elders who have openly moved against the Ye Family.


    The matters of Cloud City are almost concluded; the next step is to deal with their minions, to take care of all those vassal families one by one. By then, everything shoulde to light, and the true culprit behind all of this, should surface as well, right?


    "I understand, you are not to me for this! If I didn''t know, in your shoes, I would have made the same choice!"


    After all, within the Great Xia Realm, without solid connections, no one would dare to offend an elder lightly.


    "Thank you, Young Master Ye! Also, there''s another matter... My daughter has been pestering me for five years now, constantly saying she wants to find you, to marry Young Master Ye... I just couldn''t stop her, and she came along this time... Young Master Ye, if it''s convenient for you, even if it''s just to have her serve tea or pour water by your side, it''s possible..."


    Speaking of his daughter, Song Pa''s face showed a look of affection.


    Although he felt ufortable at the thought of his carefully raised daughter being wooed by someone else, if that someone was Ye Fan, Song Pa felt a bit better about it.


    After all, he was very clear about Ye Fan''s strength.


    Even though Song Pa knew there were already so many girls around Ye Fan, he trusted in Ye Fan''s character that his daughter would not be wronged following him.


    Moreover, with the rtionship of his daughter possibly intertwined, in the future, he might even benefit from it, hugging that golden thigh even tighter!


    "Oh! Angel, is it? By now, that little girl should have grown up. She''se too?" Mentioning Song Pa''s daughter, Ye Fan also felt a wave of emotion.


    When Ye Fan was fifteen, although he had only stayed in Song Pa''s territory for about a month, Song Pa''s thirteen-year-old daughter had clung to him constantly, cooking him delicious food, even knitting him a scarf, and swore that when she grew up, she would be Ye Fan''s wife.


    Back then, although Angel was only thirteen, she was already slender and naturally had an exotic charm.


    Ye Fan did not know how such a tough man like Song Pa could have such a stunning and tender daughter.


    Although five years had passed, thinking of that willful girl still brought a sense of fond exasperation to Ye Fan.


    "Let''s talk when we''re both free!"


    At the time he was on a mission in Myanmar, Ye Fan hadn''t thought too much about it; he certainly didn''t take Angel''s oath seriously, but Angel had.


    ...


    When Ye Fan and General Song Pa came out of the rest room, Qing Run was still receiving representatives of those families outside.


    With representatives from over a hundredpaniesing to curry favor with Qing Run, even if each person spoke only one sentence, it would take a considerable amount of time.


    Ye Fan was just about to go to the entrance of the hall to clear his mind, when several men in suits, carrying a briefcase, hurried towards him.


    After seeing Ye Fan, they bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Ye, Young Master Liu sent us to find you! Young Master Liu asked us to deliver this briefcase to you!"


    Ye Fan took the briefcase from the men in suits and thought of what Liu Hao had saidst night, feeling a wave of emotion in his heart.


    Your journey continues with ��??


    This Liu Hao was truly a ruthless character. Learning that his own father had killed his mother, he actually took his direct lineage troops to cripple his father overnight, chaining him with a dog chain before his mother''s portrait to repent.


    Moreover, ording to the in-depth investigation by Elder Pang from Tianji Pavilion, Liu Hao had actually cut off all ties with the Japanese dogs and the people from the Holy Envoy Organization,pletely terminating all cooperation.


    Quite a forceful move!


    Ye Fan opened the briefcase, and the first thing that caught his eye was an ancient parchment map. Although it was just a fragment, it radiated a thick ancient aura!


    Ye Fan only sensed it briefly before recognizing the value of this item.


    A wave of energy fluctuated around his eyes, as Ye Fan activated the Devil''s Pupil and scanned the parchment.


    Under the mysterious patterns on this parchment map, another secret design was hidden, seemingly a diagram of a Heavenly Pce, but since this was a fragment, only a small part was visible.


    Looking deeper with the Devil''s Pupil, there seemed to be some faint, elusive images fluctuating within the Heavenly Pce.


    Was this the map that the Holy Envoy Organization wanted?


    Was it something inside the Heavenly Pce they were after?


    This map concealed two pieces of information: one is the internal structure of the Underground Pce, and the outeryer of the map is the hidden location of the Heavenly Pce?


    Connecting this to the information and the experts left by his mother, as well as the information from Princess Yu''s mother, Ye Fan suddenly had a spection.


    Was his own mother part of the Divine Gate behind the scenes? Was she also connected to the Holy Envoy Organization?


    But his parents had disappeared since Ye Fan was born, and there had been no news up until now; Ye Fan had no way to ask anyone.


    Perhaps, once he really came into contact with the mysterious Holy Envoys, he would be able to understand part of the truth.


    "There''s also a list below, a part of it consists of the Vassal Families under the Holy Envoy, as well as a list of Japanese agents infiltrating the Great Xia. Moreover, there are some key double agents arranged by the above to lurk around the Ye Family. Young Master Liu said that you are to deal with it all by yourself, Young Master Ye!"


    After the men in suits safely handed over the briefcase to Ye Fan, they left respectfully.


    And only after Ye Fan had memorized everything on the parchment map did he turn his attention to the list below.


    When Ye Fan picked up the list and saw the names of several familiar families, his expression became serious.


    They were actually the double agents arranged by the enemy around the Ye Family?


    If it hadn''t been for this list from Liu Hao, the Ye Family might have suffered significant losses in the future��

 Chapter 118 Not killing you, are we saving you for the New Year?

    Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd., thepany primarily responsible for the Ye Family''s food supplies and meals!


    Divine Eagle Security Group, thepany primarily in charge of the Ye Family''s external security!


    There is also another transportationpany!


    ording to the list provided by Liu Hao, thesepanies have been infiltrated by the Holy Envoy Organization, either entirely or at the higher levels.


    Thesepanies virtually handle all necessities for the Ye Family, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.


    One can imagine, even if the enemy has not arranged for the assassination of the Ye Family''s core disciples on the battlefield, they might find opportunities to poison the Ye Family''s food or create car idents, explosions... The core disciples of the Ye Family would still likely suffer; even if the oue wasn''t as horrifying as it is now, the Ye Family would have still faced immense losses.


    Ye Fan''s face darkened as he put the materials back into the safe, then dialed Guo Li''s number, "Old Guo, notify Elder Pang to investigate thesepanies ASAP!"


    Although, ording to the information previously investigated by Elder Pang, Liu Hao did indeed cause quite a stir in the Ye Family, making a move against his father, and truly severing ties with the Holy Envoy and Dongying people.


    But after all, before this, the Liu Family could count on the Zhao Family, Li Family, and Wang Family as leading families behind them. Now, even though their attitude has changed, Ye Fan still does not trust them!


    No sooner had Ye Fan hung up the phone with Guo Li than his grandfather''s call came through.


    "Xiao Fan, can you talk? Some of our oldrades are holding a gathering today, essentially a gathering of the Ye Family''s direct lineage, and I think you should show up," said Grandfather.


    Ye Fan was just about to call his grandfather to alert him, "Okay! Where will it be? I''ll definitelye!"


    Now that the future of the Ye Family rested entirely upon him, with all the younger disciples gone.


    Gathering those oldrades, grandfather also wanted to show everyone that the Ye Family''s line of inheritance had not been extinguished.


    "It''s at the Building Beyond Building Hotel of Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd., in thergest Tian-character room!"


    Ye Changfeng''s words immediately tightened Ye Fan''s chest!


    Is iting so soon?


    Today happens to be the day when all the direct descendants are gathered, and if at this time, anything is tampered with in everyone''s meals, none of them might escape.


    "Grandfather! Remember, you must instruct everyone, once they enter the Building Beyond Building Hotel, not to touch anything, and not even to drink water before I arrive. You must remember this!" said Ye Fan with a somber tone. "Also, make sure Lei Qianjue sticks close by your side, just in case!"


    "Ah... Yes!"


    Although Ye Changfeng did not understand why Ye Fan arranged things this way, his grandson now possessed the strength of a Martial Emperor level, and Ye Changfeng had witnessed his extraordinary abilities.


    Naturally, he listened to everything Ye Fan arranged!


    After hanging up with his grandfather, Ye Fan immediately called Guo Li, Liu Qingyang, Xia Hao, and others, "Arrange for your men to converge at Building Beyond Building, we''re going to take action!"


    For safety''s sake, Ye Fan also called Captain Niu Er from the Wandering Soul, "Captain Niu, mobilize all avable forces from Wandering Soul, help me closely monitor the movements of thesepany personnel!"


    Ye Fan read the entire list to Niu Er in detail.


    Liu Hao had already defected from the Holy Envoy Organization and the Japanese Dogs, so they would surely arrange for their important members to evacuate as soon as they got the news.


    Ye Fan''s arrangement was to prevent these lurking members from leaving so easily.


    If it were not for Liu Hao''s list, Ye Fan would not have been aware of so many enemies lurking in such critical positions around the Ye Family.


    Ye Fan couldn''t help but think of the information he had previously learned from Zhao Dechang and others!


    Those who wanted to bring down the Ye Family had truly exhausted every scheme to achieve their goal.


    "Yes!"


    As Ye Fan''smand was issued, the whole Cloud City began to seethe with activity.


    Although on the surface, everything still appeared quiet, in the shadows, the brothers under Cloud City''s godfather Li Hu, the elite members of Wandering Soul, as well as Xia Hao, Guo Li, and others arranged by Cloud City, all sprang into action.


    They rushed towards the Building Beyond Building Hotel, forming severalyers of encirclement outside the hotel.


    ...


    At General Song Pa''s business conference, Sun Desheng was still kneeling on the ground, watching the scene with a gloomy expression.


    Seeing Ye Fan approaching him, Sun Desheng immediately tensed up and red at Ye Fan resentfully, saying, "Ye Fan, what else do you want to do? Let me tell you, you definitely won''t have a good end... My backing..."


    Ye Fan squatted down, staring intently at Sun Desheng and said, "You''re trying to say your backing is Elder Tang Zheng? Useless! It doesn''t matter who it is, if anyone wants to kill my Ye Family, I will make sure their entire family is buried with us!"


    Ye Fan''s words left Sun Deshengpletely frozen in ce.


    "Ye Fan... you?" Back at Thousands Treasure Pavilion, Sun Desheng had suspected that Ye Fan''s disy of idiocy was an act.


    But at that time he had no evidence, and Ye Fan''s behaviors didn''t seem to exin anything.


    However, now that Ye Fan had so casually mentioned his ultimate backers, it meant that Ye Fan must have made arrangements in the dark and was already aware of all the opponent''s moves. Ye Fan was not foolish!


    "You''re not foolish? You were pretending? You..." After figuring out Ye Fan''s situation, Sun Desheng looked at Ye Fan with a face full of terror.


    Ye Fan had been able to feign idiocy for five years, evading the assassination attempts of enemies of the Ye Family, then secretly setting up his game, almostpletely wiping out the families in Cloud City that were hostile to the Ye Family, and even the Liu Family from the Provincial City had not escaped.


    Ye Fan was too frightening!


    "You''re right! I was pretending... Too bad, you''ve realized it toote!" Ye Fan said, his eyes wickedly fixed on Sun Desheng, usually when Ye Fan revealed the truth to them, it was a deration of their death sentence.


    Because Ye Fan would not casually expose his secret except to a few of the most trusted individuals.


    And to keep a secret from being exposed, the only solution is a dead person who cannot speak.


    "Ah... you... everyone..."


    Filled with terror, Sun Desheng thought about Ye Fan''s terrifying methods; if Ye Fan were in a clear state of mind and knew how he had treated the Qing Family and intended to deal with the Ye and Su Families, how could Ye Fan possibly let him go?


    Sun Desheng opened his mouth, intending to cry out in rm.


    But at the next moment, Sun Desheng realized that although his mouth was open, he couldn''t make any sound, and foam began to form in his mouth... his body started convulsing uncontrobly!


    "Ugh!" Sun Desheng let out a reluctant groan from his mouth, wanting to say something, but clearly feeling the vitality force within his body draining away!


    All the strength in his body was being sucked out bit by bit!


    From the very beginning when Ye Fan encountered Sun Desheng, he had ced Inheritance Qi Force inside Sun Desheng''s body, killing Sun Desheng was merely a matter of lifting a finger...


    To his enemies, Ye Fan was never merciful!


    With how things were developing, Ye Fan would soon be leaving Cloud City to delve into investigations in the Provincial City, so such an enemy must be dealt with swiftly, without dy for the new year...

 Chapter 119 Is He a Pig?

    "Song Pa, handle this, will you?"


    Watching Sun Desheng as he gradually stopped breathing, Ye Fan spoke to the Song Pa who followed close by his side.


    "Yes!" With a wave of his hand, several of Song Pa''s subordinates dragged the dying Sun Desheng out.


    In the crowd not far away, the young man sent by Tang Zheng couldn''t help but let out a helpless sigh upon witnessing the situation.


    On one hand, Sun Desheng was too foolish, and on the other, Ye Fan was too strong!


    As a result, all arrangements made by the elder came to nothing before Sun Desheng could y his part, leading to his own demise even before he could make a move.


    The young man quietly retreated, and after leaving the investment event, he finally called the Capital Elder, "Elder, the mission failed! The jade agency rights have been taken by Qing Run..."


    "What? The agency rights were stolen by the Qing Family, are you mistaken? What''s happening with Sun Desheng... What on earth was he doing?" Tang Zheng''s voice suddenly rose an octave when he heard the report from his subordinate over the phone, "Didn''t I call General Song Past night and arrange everything? Today''s investment meeting was supposed to be just a formality!"


    Tang Zheng believed his friendship with General Song Pa meant that securing such agency rights should be a minor issue, easily resolved.


    With arrangements made to this extent, even if Sun Desheng were as inept as a pig, he should have been able to carry out the subsequent actions.


    By acquiring the agency rights andpletely cutting off the Qing Family''s supply, then dominating the sales channels and waging a full-scale price war... it would take less than a month for the Qing Family to fall.


    "Sun Desheng is dead, and his death is somewhat strange. I don''t know if Ye Fan made a move, or if it was one of those four expert maids by his side..."


    The young man didn''t hold back and shared everything he witnessed with Tang Zheng in detail.


    When Tang Zheng heard that the Ye Family even had Four Great Grandmaster Realm maids at their disposal, his expression became grave.


    The foundation of the Ye Family was apparently not fully leveraged yet.


    The elders thought by eliminating those core disciples of the Ye Family and leaving behind an idiot, the Ye Family would no longer be a concern.


    But now, after so many days, that old thing from the Ye Family and that fool were both still well and alive.


    Lei Qianjue had been in Cloud City for many days now, and if he truly had a way to cure Ye Fan and fully awaken him, then the days ahead would indeed be difficult for everyone.


    Later, Tang Zheng learned from his subordinates that Song Pa had even been saved by Ye Fan, which caused him to m his fist onto the table in frustration, "Damn it! How many secrets does this Ye Fan have that we don''t know about?"


    Previously, when Elder Zhang attempted to sanction the Su Corporation, Xia Hao from Provincial City intervened at the critical moment, resolving the Su Corporation''s sales channel issues and leaving the Zhao Family far behind.


    And it was because of a debt of gratitude to Ye Fan that Xia Hao took action!


    Such a genius monstrously talented, could he really be this formidable?


    "Elder, what do we do now? All the previous arrangements failed... Should we continue with the n to suppress the Qing Family?" the young man asked, ncing over at the hotel building.


    Now that the Qing Family had secured the Jade Raw Stone agency rights, countless family representatives were stepping forward to curry favor with them.


    As for the sanction orders previously issued by the elders'' vassal families, they were now effectively useless.


    ```


    "Of course, we must continue! Hmph! If the Qing Family doesn''t fall, then our actions against the Ye Family will have failed. How will others see us? Those seven wretches have announced their marriage to Ye Fan. If we do nothing, it''s like we''re pping our own faces!" Tang Zheng pondered for two seconds, then continued, "You go to the Provincial City immediately... I''ve just received news that the Liu Family in the Provincial City has already met with a mishap, and many of our people have been exposed. The Provincial City needs to be reorganized... And as for the vassal families we have fostered for so many years, it''s time for them to y their roles..."


    "Yes!" The young man answered with a response, "Should we ask the Martial Venerable expert we invited from Dongying to take action?"


    "Take action! Of course, he must take action... Damn it, those trash from Dongying have taken so many benefits from us over the years. They''ve been freeloading without working��how can it go on like this? Issue them a death order, offer them enough temptation to make them act against Ye Fan. As long as they can kill Ye Fan, they can even have my wife!"


    Damned Ye Fan!


    His luck is always so good, but I want to see just how long that luck canst.


    A fool, can he really protect seven families?


    Damn it!


    If he provokes us, we''ll simply invite the big bosses from above to descend��a Martial Emperor Level force will undoubtedly be able to kill him, right?


    ...


    Inside the investment promotion hall, after dealing with Sun Desheng, Ye Fan and a few maids headed towards Qing Run!


    Qing Run had just finished entertaining a batch ofpany executives. Seeing Ye Fan walking over, she affectionately took his arm and said, "Xiao Fan, my husband, have you finished talking? What were you discussing?"


    Ye Fan replied with a mischievous smile, speaking naively, "General Song Pa said his daughter also wants to marry me. What do you think I should do?"


    With a single sentence, both Qing Run and Song Pa were left somewhat embarrassed.


    Is this Young Master Ye truly foolish, or is he feigning foolishness?


    "General Song Pa, you... this..." Qing Run was somewhat speechless. General Song Pa actually sent his own daughter to vie for her husband.


    As she spoke, Qing Run held Ye Fan''s arm even tighter, as if iming her own territory.


    "Miss Qing, the old master just called, inviting Young Master Ye to attend a meeting. We''ll head back first!" Xiao Wen, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, quickly spoke up to break the tension.


    "Oh! Then you should hurry... Call me when it''s over!" Qing Run looked at Ye Fan with a face full of affection. She had so much to tell Ye Fan; after obtaining the rights to the jade agency, she had to find an appropriate way to thank him.


    However, exactly how to thank him, Qing Run hadn''t yet figured out.


    Ye Fan and the Four Great Maids left the investment promotion hall and drove quickly toward the Building Beyond Building Hotel.


    At that moment, although the Building Beyond Building Hotel appeared to be calm on the surface, it was actually surrounded by Ye Fan''s people.


    Meanwhile, inside the hotel, arge group of Martial Arts Experts had gathered. These were the subordinates of the Holy Envoy lying in wait.


    In the hotel''s kitchen, a group of young people dressed as waitstaff gathered together. A middle-aged man leading them scolded, "We just received a call from Young Master Zhou. There has been a mishap in the Liu Family of the Provincial City, and it''s very likely we''ve been exposed! If the Ye Family discovers our identities and traces it back to us, we''re dead without a doubt... Therefore, Young Master Zhou has ordered us toplete today''s mission as soon as possible. Regardless of whether the mission is sessful or not, Young Master Zhou will arrange for our departure!"


    "Our n is simple; first, we will strike through poisoning the food and drinks. If there are any survivors, we''ll finish the job ourselves! Hopefully, we can wipe out all the legitimate line members of the Ye Family in one fell swoop!"


    ```

 Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Are You Deaf?

    "Did everyone understand what I said?"


    The leading man in the middle shed a fierce look in his eyes, "No mistakes can be made today. Otherwise, if Young Master Zhou begins to investigate from above, no one will have a good oue!"


    "Yes!"


    Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd., the entirepany has already be a force under the Holy Envoy Organization.


    Commands from the Holy Envoy Organization are to be executed absolutely.


    "Everyone, look closely; the poison in the drinks should be colorless and tasteless like this, and slow-acting poison must be used. Otherwise, if the first person to drink has a problem, no one else will drink it afterward!"


    "Apart from the drinks, when adding poison to the dishes, it should be done ording to the color and taste of the dish. Different dishes require different poisons, and we must ensure that not a single dish is overlooked!"


    While the middle-aged man was still in the kitchen instructing his subordinates on poisoning, Ye Fan, apanied by the Four Great Maids, had already arrived at the Building Beyond Building Hotel.


    At this moment, the hotel, unlike usual, was surrounded on three levels inside and out with bodyguards!


    As soon as Ye Fan appeared, the bodyguards at the door stopped him, "What are you here for? The hotel is not serving today, pleasee back another time!"


    To deal with this wave of Ye Family''s direct lineage force, Building Beyond Building Hotel directly suspended all its business operations.


    "How dare you! This is Young Master Ye, do you have the audacity to refuse him?" Xiao Wen rebuked, causing the bodyguards at the door to tremble inwardly. They quickly sized up Ye Fan, and after a briefparison, immediately confirmed that the person in front of them was indeed Ye Fan himself.


    The leadership had said to let no one in, but also said that anyone attending Ye Fan''s meeting could go in.


    Was Ye Fan, as a direct line young master of the Ye Family, considered as someone who was here for a meeting?


    "I��" The few bodyguards at the door seemed to be somewhat slow to react for a moment.


    Ye Fan, smelling the air, had already detected several poisons wafting about. Time was of the essence, and there was no spare time to waste.


    "Get out of the way!"


    Ye Fan suddenly made his move. A st of Martial Emperor level Qi Force instantly sent the bodyguards at the door flying, knocking them out on the spot.


    In the lobby, other bodyguards wanted to continue charging over, but Xiao Potian released a Qi Force explosion, creating an invisible barrier mid-air that not only blocked everyone, but also fixed their figures in ce, unable to move.


    "Take me to the head chef of the hotel!" Ye Fan demanded, grabbing one of the supervisors and activating the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand. He then turned to Nan Sheng and said, "You, go to the Tian-character room immediately, and lead the old man and the others out of here!"


    "Yes!"


    Splitting into two groups, Ye Fan followed the supervisor quickly towards the head chef on the third floor, while Nan Sheng hurried toward the Tian-character room.


    Ye Fan wasn''t sure about the situation inside Building Beyond Building Hotel, so he was extremely cautious.


    People from Wandering Soul had been deployed, but Ye Fan had instructed them not toe through the main entrance. Instead, they should descend from ropes on the rooftop, and were now outside the windows of the Tian-character room.


    If there was any disturbance inside, they could act immediately!


    ��


    In the kitchen, the leading middle-aged man had just finished instructing his subordinates to mix various poisons into the food and drinks. Another man, dressed in a pink suit, appeared at the doorway surrounded by a few underlings. "President Li, how is everything? The stuff I provided is pretty powerful, isn''t it?"


    This leading man was named Li Dong, the general manager of the restaurant, and he was in charge of all the operations for the day.


    "Poison Master indeed has quite the tricks!" Li Dong nced at the next room, which already housed several dead dogs and more, including pigs and cattle��these had all been used to test the effectiveness of the toxins. "We only used a drop of toxin before, and it killed two cows, three sheep, five dogs..."


    "And at today''s banquet for the Ye Family, I had them add half a bottle, no one''s getting away!"


    Li Dong, pleased, waved over the mboyantly dressed young man in pink, "Poison Master, rest assured, after the sess of this operation, our boss will definitely satisfy any conditions you have, as long as we can make it happen!"


    Completely annihting the Ye Family, that''s the most troublesome issue for those above us.


    If this operation not only wipes out the Ye Family but also captures all of the Ye Family''s direct lineage force in one fell swoop, those above us would surely be thrilled, waking from their dreams withughter.


    "Fair enough! Fair enough... What I care about is that map of the Ye Family''s. If there''s any news on your boss''s end, just let me know! Even a photocopy would do, just give me a copy!" Poison Master took a sip of his milk tea and nodded, "Not bad, want to try some?"


    "No, no, no! No, thanks!" Li Dong shook his head like a bobblehead. "I''ve just eaten, still feeling quite full!"


    Damn it!


    In the realm of Martial Arts, the Poison Master, feared by all, anything he touched could contain deadly poison. Who would dare touch his milk tea?


    "All right then! Continue with your tasks. I''ll make another trip to the Tian suite and meddle with the air a bit, just in case they don''t eat or drink, they still have to breathe, right?"


    "Poison Master certainly thinks of everything!"


    p! p! p!


    Before Poison Master could respond, sudden apuse came from the doorway. "Li Dong, you really are quite the schemer! The Ye Family entrusted you with their catering, cing their lives in your hands, and this is how you repay them? By nning to poison us all?"


    A cold reproof echoed from the doorway, and the arrivals were none other than Ye Fan and his maid Xiao Wen, among others.


    "Ah?" Li Dong was so startled to see Ye Fan suddenly appear that he couldn''t help but exim. His expression turned into a panic, much like a child caught misbehaving.


    But what Li Dong was more curious about was that he had seen Ye Fan several times before.


    After the car ident, Ye Fan indeed seemed no different from an imbecile. Howe he didn''t look foolish at all now?


    And beside Ye Fan, since when did he have several beautiful maids with him? The Martial Arts Qi surging around them was all above Grandmaster Level. Their arrival at this time was very troubling.


    A sense of ill omen had already begun to emerge in Li Dong''s heart!


    "Young Master Ye, what brings you here so suddenly? We were just busy preparing the meals. Young Master Ye, please wait in your room, I''ll arrange to serve the dishes immediately!" Li Dong wasn''t quite sure what Ye Fan meant and answered vaguely, trying to brush it off, "Young Master Ye, would you like some candy first?"


    If Ye Fan were a fool, he might actually have been fooled.


    But at this moment, Ye Fan was at the Martial Emperor Level, and his intelligence had even advanced beyond his previous peak. How could he be fooled by Li Dong?


    "Can''t you understand human speech? I said you''re poisoning our food, trying to kill all of us in the Ye Family. How do you n to exin that?"


    Hmm?


    The situation was not good. Li Dong felt a chill in his heart and wanted to reach for the walkie-talkie to contact the boss, but Ye Fan''s gaze firmly pinned him down, daring not to make any sudden moves.


    "That''s a misunderstanding, Young Master Ye... How could there possibly be poison in the food? I''m personally overseeing it right here, it''s all very safe!"


    "Really? No poison in the food? Then take this bowl of chicken soup and drink it for me to see?"

 Chapter 121 You Shouldnt Have Messed with Me!

    "Ah... this... Young Master Ye..."


    Li Dong was instantly dumbfounded. The Ye Family''s fool actually knew such tricks?


    Li Dong gave Ye Fan a piercing look. From the gleam in Ye Fan''s eyes, Li Dong realized that the Ye Family''s foolish young master wasn''t foolish at all!


    It looked like his n for today was going to be ruined.


    Ye Fan hade to the kitchen with three grandmaster level maids, probably targeting them.


    "Young Master Ye, don''t joke around. These ingredients are specially prepared for the big shots at today''s banquet. How could we dare to touch them lightly?"


    As he spoke, Li Dong kept winking at the Poison Master, signaling him to make a move.


    The Poison Master was known as the poison fanatic of the Southwestern Region, unpredictable in using poison, with almost no rivals. Even those in the Martial Venerable Realm had to be cautious when facing the toxins of the Poison Master.


    Those below the Martial Venerable Realm had to give the Poison Master some deference when they saw him.


    The Poison Master, realizing that Ye Fan had personallye to the kitchen, sensed that something was terribly wrong. Of course, he saw the signals Li Dong was giving him.


    He also knew that they had only one chance to act against the Ye Family. If they failed, even though the Ye Family was currently in decline, their retaliation would be beyond what these small fries could handle.


    So, in the short moment while Ye Fan was speaking, the Poison Master had already unleashed thirty-six different toxins, continuously targeting Ye Fan.


    But to the Poison Master''s shock, no matter what kind of toxin he used, even at double or ten times the dose tossed at Ye Fan, Ye Fan and the several maids standing beside him remained unaffected.


    The Poison Master''s most formidablebined toxins were almost shoved into Ye Fan''s mouth, but Ye Fan still showed no reaction.


    The Poison Master started to question his own life!


    Damn it!


    Is this even human?


    Having been in the poison business for so many years and tested countless times, even Martial Venerable Realm experts were affected by the Poison Master''sbined toxin attacks.


    Ye Fan was unaffected at all. Could it be that Ye Fan had surpassed the Martial Venerable Realm?


    Seeing Li Dong and the Poison Master exchanging nces until their eyes were practically popping out, Ye Fan let out a coldugh, "Alright! Shall I get you a megaphone? I''ll just stand here and not move. Why doesn''t the Poison Master try his toxins on me again?"


    While speaking, Ye Fan stretched out his hand and dabbed some of the toxin that the Poison Master had sprinkled on his clothes, tasting a bit with his mouth.


    "The toxicity is strong, but you''re missing a few ingredients, such as raspberries and pinellia... If you add those two, your toxin''s strength could be at least ten times more potent, and it could also paralyze the target''s nerves..."


    "What?" When the Poison Master saw what Ye Fan did and heard his words, he waspletely stunned.


    Face pping!


    This was an outright face pping humiliation!


    The Poison Master was supposed to be poisoning Ye Fan, but instead, Ye Fan treated his poison like candy, totally unaffected, and even critiqued its quality!


    The Poison Master realized he had met a true expert today, not only in martial arts Qi but also in the art of poisoning.


    But hadn''t the outside world spread the rumor that Ye Fan was a fool?


    How was it that Ye Fan was so powerful now, effortlessly overpowering everyone present?


    Unless, Ye Fan had never been foolish five years ago and had been feigning ignorance to deceive everyone?


    With this thought, the Poison Master''s figure shed as he attempted to rush out the door.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Fan flicked his wrist lightly, returning the poison Poison Master had just sprinkled towards Ye Fan back at him, "All of it, back to you!"


    Poison Master smirked faintly; his own concoctions, even if he were to gulp it all down, so what?


    Poison Master was confident he had a hundred ways to detoxify himself.


    However, the moment the powder of toxins Ye Fan had flung touched Poison Master''s skin, hisplexion changed, "Not good!"


    The nature of the poison had changed!


    In such a short time, Ye Fan had not only collected all the toxins he had scattered but had also rearranged their order, strengthening the toxins by at least a hundredfold and making them a hundred times more cunning.


    Just as Ye Fan had said, those toxins that had returned from Ye Fan''s hands now had the ability to paralyze the nerves.


    By the time Poison Master realized and desperately tried to wipe the powder off his skin, his wrist had already stiffened in midair.


    The next moment, foaming at the mouth, his body fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrobly.


    However, Ye Fan had controlled the dosage well. Although Poison Master had fallen to the ground and lost the ability to move, he did not faint, his eyeballs could still roll, and he could clearly see everything before his eyes.


    With Poison Master down, Li Dong felt as if all his strength had been drained in an instant, his legs gave way, and he slumped directly to the ground.


    Poison Master was the main reliance for today''s action. He himself was a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse, the strongest expert at the scene on Li Dong''s side.


    And yet, within three seconds of the confrontation with Ye Fan, Poison Master was already down on the ground.


    With the main reliance gone, what was there left to y for?


    "So, will you drink it yourself, or shall I feed it to you?" Ye Fan said coldly, staring at Li Dong, while his sharp gaze swept towards the other chefs in the kitchen, "All of you be sensible, and don''t make me act! Otherwise, you will wish you were dead!"


    These scumbags, Ye Fan had never intended to spare a single one since he stepped in here.


    These bastards had been nning to annihte the Ye Family with deadly poisons and topletely eradicate the Ye Family''s legitimate lineage force.


    They were so vicious, why should Ye Fan be kind to them?


    "Young Master Ye, I was wrong..." Li Dongy limp on the ground, calling out weakly. At this moment, Li Dong felt some regret.


    If he had known that Ye Fan was no longer a fool, he would not have agreed to move against the Ye Family even if it killed him.


    Now he had thrown his own life away!


    "Damn! I don''t believe this! A fool could hardly make any waves," a few young chefs among the dozens sneered with a fierce look in their eyes, calling out to their brothers, "Brothers, grab some tools, take the cleaver and go at him together, there are only four of them, with so many of us acting together, there''s always a chance to kill Ye Fan!"


    They knew even before they poisoned today that what they were doing was a death sentence.


    If they failed, death was certain!


    Now caught red-handed by Ye Fan, it was death either way, so they thought of taking a gamble!


    Hu hu!


    Five or six burly men indeed recklessly charged at Ye Fan, brandishing their cleavers.


    "Hmph!" Ye Fan merely snorted, and a surge of Qi Force sted out, effortlessly turning the cleavers in those burly men''s hands into debris, projecting outwards and urately piercing those chefs'' throats, "You should not have provoked me!"


    Pu-chi! Pu-chi!


    With each shard that projected out, another viin''s life was reaped!


    In just a few seconds, everyone from the hotel, except for Li Dong and Poison Master,y dead on the spot!


    "Drink!" Ye Fan stepped forward and nted his foot on Li Dong''s chest, looking down from high above, "This is yourst chance!"

 Chapter 122 Offering Goodies in Exchange for Your Life?

    "Ooh!"


    Li Dong felt like crying, he knew exactly what was in the chicken soup!


    The arsenic in the chicken soup had been added by Li Dong himself, and the consequences of drinking it were self-evident.


    Although Li Dong was extremely reluctant, he knew that if he didn''t drink it, he might suffer an even crazier fate.


    With trembling hands, he raised the bowl of chicken soup and drank it in despair. Li Dong then quietlyid on the ground, waiting for death, "Are you satisfied now? Haha�� Ye Fan, I''ll tell you, you can''t fight them, the higher-ups will surely avenge us�� Your Ye Family will be exterminated sooner orter��"


    Li Dong struggled to stand up and after waiting a few dozen seconds, he found himself unharmed?


    Li Dong was somewhat puzzled, picked up the bowl from the table, and looked at it, "I''m okay? So, the chicken soup really wasn''t poisoned? Haha��"


    Unable to help himself, Li Dong burst into heartyughter, his life was not doomed after all!


    But whileughing, Li Dong suddenly couldn''tugh anymore; blood started pouring from his mouth, eyes, and nostrils. His body instantly fell to the ground and began to convulse violently.


    "You��"


    In just a few seconds, Li Dong''s body went limp, motionless like a dead dog, void of any Vitality Force.


    He had brought this upon himself!


    Ye Fan nced indifferently at Li Dong and turned to look at the Poison Master, "Now it''s your turn!"


    "Young Master Ye, spare me�� I�� I was forced��" The Poison Master looked at Ye Fan approaching him with a face full of terror; his body waspletely immobilized, unable to move, and the look of utter fear in his eyes had reached an extreme.


    "Do you think that''s believable?" Ye Fan picked up a kitchen knife and gestured between the Poison Master''s legs, scaring him so much that his whole body trembled and he wet himself.


    He was literally scared to pee himself!


    Ye Fan fanned his nose, still staring intensely at the Poison Master without saying a word.


    The sharpness in his gaze made the Poison Master''s heart shudder in fear. After a few seconds, he finally copsed, "I confess, I''ll talk�� The owner of Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd., Li Cheng, hired me to act. He promised ten billion, and also, he promised me a share of the Ye Family''s Mystery Map Fragment, which is said to lead to the Heavenly Pce. The Heavenly Pce once housed Divine Ruins, filled with numerous treasures, and some Fragments that could bestow immense benefits..."


    The Poison Master revealed everything he knew to Ye Fan. Seeing that Ye Fan''s gaze still did not seem to spare him, he continued helplessly, "Young Master Ye, I have good stuff on me too, I have a Fragment�� I''ll give it all to Young Master Ye, please spare my life!"


    Before Ye Fan could act, a maid stepped forward and emptied the Poison Master''s pockets.


    There were several bank cards, a cell phone, and some other misceneous items.


    What caught Ye Fan''s attention was a purple stone wrapped in something that seemed to suppress the strong and ancient energy fluctuations inside.


    Is this the so-called Divinity Fragment?


    Ye Fan picked up the Fragment and released his Perception to feel it. He could clearly sense powerful energy fluctuations inside, and the aura within seemed to have a faint connection with the Inheritance force within Ye Fan''s body.


    However, now his grandfather and the Ye Family''s Direct Lineage Force were still in Building Beyond Building, and the danger was not yet over. Now was not the time to study these things.


    "Young Master Ye, can I be released now?" The Poison Master saw a change in Ye Fan''s expression and thought he might finally have a chance to live, and hurriedly spoke, "There are also tens of billions in those bank cards, the password is six sevens, all given to Young Master Ye, just pleading for my life to be spared!"


    The Poison Master truly didn''t want to die. He was still young and had already reached the strength of the Grandmaster Realm. If he could seize other opportunities in the future, he couldpletely break through to the Martial Venerable, or even the Martial Saint Realm''s strength, and significantly increase his lifespan.


    "Alright!"


    Ye Fan responded with a word, pocketed the Fragment, and stood up to walk out of the kitchen door.


    The Poison Master felt relieved, just starting to ease his breath when Ye Fan''s maid made her move.


    Pfft!


    The maid''s dagger plunged straight into Poison Master''s heart and dantian.


    Life force began to dissipate instantly from Poison Master''s body, and disbelief shed in his eyes, "Beauty... Ye... didn''t Young Master Ye say he would spare me... you..."


    As Poison Master spoke, blood started flowing from his mouth and nostrils.


    "Hmph! My young master might have spared you, but we don''t wish to!" the maid sneered as she withdrew the dagger and collected the bank cards, "You scum who wished to annihte the Ye Family, and you still expect to live? Dream on!"


    Poison Master felt the cold in his body and convulsed violently a few times, a look of despair shing in his eyes before his body slumped down, devoid of strength.


    Until the veryst moment, Poison Master regretted it deeply.


    He deeply regretted listening to Li Cheng''s temptation and participating in this operation.


    He hadpletely underestimated the profound depths of the Ye Family''s resources, and, most importantly, Ye Fan was no longer the fool he used to be, his strength far exceeding the Martial Venerable Realm.


    ...


    Meanwhile, at Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd.''s headquarters, in President Li''s office, Li Cheng paced back and forth anxiously with his phone in hand.


    He was waiting for the news from the Building Beyond Building Hotel!


    If today''s n seeded, then Young Master Zhou would surely reward him greatly, making it possible for him to take control of the entire Southwest.


    At that time, Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd. would be a first-rate family business in Great Xia, and his status and power would definitely reach a new peak.


    However, half an hour had passed, and there was still no news from the Building Beyond Building Hotel!


    Suddenly, Li Cheng remembered that hisputer was connected to the hotel''s surveince system. He immediately opened the surveince to check the hotel''s main entrance.


    Seeing Ye Changfeng and those direct lineage followers of the Ye Family enter the hotel, a smug look appeared on Li Cheng''s face.


    These old fools, once they enter the Building Beyond Building, as long as they take a sip of water, they won''t be leaving alive today!


    Suddenly, Li Cheng saw a peculiar person on the surveince footage!


    Ye Fan?


    It was not surprising for Ye Fan to arrive here, but Li Cheng was shocked to see that Ye Fan had actually knocked the doormen flying and was leading people directly to the main kitchen?


    Judging by Ye Fan''s demeanor, he hardly seemed to be the fool everyone thought he was!


    Not good!


    Li Cheng hurriedly switched the surveince feed to the main kitchen. As soon as the image appeared, Li Cheng gasped in shock.


    The person in charge of Building Beyond Building, Li Dong, and Poison Master were both lying on the ground motionless, and the other chefs also showed no signs of life.


    "Something has indeed gone wrong!"


    Without any hesitation, Li Cheng frantically began to grab his phone and picked up a pre-packed suitcase, ready to flee the office!


    If the poisoning plot failed, he knew he wouldn''t stand a chance against the Ye Family''s retaliation...


    But just as Li Cheng reached the door, it opened from the outside, and several Martial Arts experts stared intently at him, "President Li, in such a hurry to go where?"

 Chapter 123 The Beauty Who Burst Into the Mens Bathroom

    This was a person arranged by Ye Fan, a strong yer from the Wandering Souls!


    The lead captain''s strength was in the Grandmaster Realm, and his four subordinates were all experts in the Control Realm.


    Li Cheng had just stepped into the Martial Arts Transforming Qi as a small shrimp; faced with the oppressive aura of five experts, he could barely stand steady.


    "I need to go out for a meeting, who are you? Why did you barge in without an appointment?" Although he had guessed the likely scenario, Li Cheng still harbored a sliver of hope and tried to bluff his way through.


    "Get out now, if you don''t leave, I''m going to call the police!"


    "Stop pretending! Li Cheng, our Young Master has requested your presence!" The Wandering Soul experts didn''t hesitate, stepping forward to activate their Martial Arts Qi, and directly took control of Li Cheng, sealing off all his meridians and confiscating all hismunication tools.


    As the Wandering Soul strongmen made their move on Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd., so it happened in the president''s office of Divine Eagle Security Group Co., Ltd, the chairman''s office of Hongda Transportation Co., Ltd...


    On the list provided by Liu Hao, all those listed had just received the retreat order from Young Master Zhou of the Capital the second before, and in the next second, they were all controlled by the arriving Wandering Soul operatives.


    For betraying the Ye Family, being bought by the Holy Envoy Organization, lurking beside the Ye Family, and attempting to utterly eradicate it, a punishment more fearsome than death awaited them!


    ...


    At the Building Beyond Building Hotel, Ye Fan and the three maids dealt with the kitchen affair before swiftly heading to the Tianzi number private room on the eighth floor!


    Nan Sheng, who had gone to the Tianzi number private room in advance, sent back a message that the situation in the room was normal for now.


    Outside the Tianzi number private room, although there were many bodyguards gathered, there were no ns to make a move for the moment.


    Those involved in the Building Beyond Building''s poisoning n had all been neutralized, and the person in charge, Li Dong, had also been eliminated. The Ye Family''s direct lineage force should be rtively safe for now.


    Ye Fan was slightly relieved, and passing by a restroom, he said to Xiao Wen and the others, "I''m going to use the bathroom, you can just leave one to wait for me, the other two can go ahead to the Tianzi number private room."


    After entering the restroom, just as Ye Fan had finished his business and was shaking off thest drops, a beautiful silhouette suddenly burst in, crashing directly into his arms, still holding a ss of milk.


    At first, Ye Fan thought it was Xiao Wen who had burst in unexpectedly.


    But when Ye Fan took a closer look, he realized it was not her at all.


    The girl standing before him was dressed in a denim mini skirt, with a slender waist and a perfect figure, curvy in all the right ces �� indeed, she was a showstopper...


    "I''m sorry, I''m so sorry!"


    The beauty quickly apologized, but when she suddenly saw the impressive weapon in front of Ye Fan, she froze for a few seconds before reacting, letting out a shrill scream, "Ah...pervert..."


    As the beauty screamed, she hastily covered her eyes, "Pervert! Why did youe into the women''s restroom? Get out...Shameless..."


    While screaming, she squeezed the milk in her hand, causing it to spray and drip onto her skirt, leaving spotted marks!


    The situation would lead to wild imaginations for anyone who saw it!


    "Young Master, what''s wrong?"


    Xiao Wen outside heard the scream and rushed in as well, just in time to see the staggering size of Ye Fan''s attributes, her face flushed with embarrassment, "Young Master, are you alright?"


    Although at that time, when they were selected to be maids for Ye Fan, they were prepared to do anything for Ye Fan at any cost.


    Including when Ye Fan had needs, they were all willing to actively assist.


    But after all, they were still innocent girls, and suddenly seeing such an eye-catching scene left them feeling somewhat embarrassed!


    "I''m fine!"


    Ye Fan was also a bit embarrassed, hurriedly tucking himself in, before coughing and saying to the beauty in his arms, "Big sister! Take a good look, this is a men''s restroom, if anyone''s a hooligan, shouldn''t it be you?"


    "What nonsense are you talking about, how could this possibly be a men''s restroom... I..." The woman in the mini-skirt was still arguing, but when she saw the men''s urinals in the restroom, she was instantly dumbfounded.


    Is this really a men''s restroom?


    This is so...


    "Hmph!" The beauty let out a cold snort, then tried to rush out of the restroom in a panic.


    But Ye Fan reached out and grabbed her, "Wait a second, you''ve seen everything, you took advantage of me, and now you''re just going to leave?"


    "What? I took advantage of you? How did I take advantage of you?" The woman in the mini-skirt looked at Ye Fan somewhat frustrated, unable to get the image of Ye Fan''s enormous size out of her head.


    Whimper!


    My eyes are unclean, my thoughts are unclean.


    "A man being looked at isn''t a big deal!" the beauty muttered, "So, what do you want?" Perhaps feeling in the wrong, her tone of voice started to weaken, "Hmph! It''s all because of that Young Master of the Ye Family, saying that no one should move around carelessly, not to drink water, not to eat anything, what kind of nonsense is this!"


    Is she someone from the Ye Family''s direct lineage force?


    Hearing the young woman''s words, Ye Fan was taken aback, then a mischievous smile appeared on his lips, "What do I want? It''s simple, since you saw all of me, you should let me see you too, and we''ll be even!"


    "Dream on! You pervert, go ahead and dream!" The woman in the mini-skirt red at Ye Fan, annoyed, "Is that the same thing? I didn''t mean to look... you''re a man, losing a bit of dignity won''t kill you! Hmph! Pervert!"


    Ye Fanughed silently, "Don''t you talk about equality between men and women? Why is it okay for you to look at men, but not for us to look at you?"


    "I..." The woman in the mini-skirt was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.


    Xiao Wen suddenly heard Nan Sheng''s voice in her earpiece, and quickly said to Ye Fan, "Young Master, those bigshots in the private room are getting impatient, some of them want to eat, what should we do?"


    Ye Fan knew that having people wait for so long without eating or drinking would certainly be cause forint.


    "You''re lucky, you owe me one, and next time we meet, I''ll have my look then, and you better not welsh!" Ye Fan let go of the woman in the mini-skirt, smirking devilishly.


    "Hmph!" The woman in the mini-skirt huffed again, there won''t be a next time? I will definitely not see you again!


    After the young woman left, Ye Fan called to Xiao Wen, "Let''s go! Hurry over there, and also, have someone outside send over a fewb rats, I need them immediately!"


    "Understood!"


    Having made all the arrangements, Ye Fan and Xiao Wen quickly headed toward the luxuriously appointed private room!


    Outside the door to the luxurious private room, arge group of bodyguards had gathered, all arranged by Li Dong.


    They were waiting for orders from Li Dong and Li Cheng, unaware that their bosses had already been taken down.


    Ye Fan entered the private room, and as soon as the door opened, he heard the noisy voices inside, "Elder Ye, what exactly is going on? You asked everyone toe here to discuss matters, why aren''t we even allowed to drink the water on the table? What is the situation, can you please exin to us?"

 Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Ye Fan, He Is Not a Fool Anymore!

    "Everyone, please wait a moment, my grandson called to ask everyone not to move; he will be here soon and will definitely be able to exin everything clearly!"


    Ye Changfeng had exined countless times, but among the direct lineage forces present today, some did not believe in Ye Fan''s abilities. Moreover, although Ye Changfeng had already screened the candidates once, he still could not guarantee that all of the direct lineage forces were upromised.


    After all, given the current situation of the Ye Family, it was normal for some people to seek other paths.


    "Elder Ye, it''s not that we look down on Young Master Ye, but Ye Fan, although he was a monstrous talent before, became so foolish after the car ident five years ago. What can he do now? Sigh, if it weren''t for your face, Elder, we wouldn''t havee today!"


    "Yes, Elder Ye! We are all very clear about the critical situation the Ye Family is facing. We must all unite to get through this tough time, but Elder Ye, you shouldn''t pin your hopes on an idiot!"


    In the Tian-character private room, fiverge tables were set up, with representatives from the Ye Family''s legitimate lineage amounting to forty or fifty people.


    Everyone was staring intently at Ye Changfeng, waiting for his further exnation.


    "We''ve alle here with sincerity today, Elder Ye, you should at least let us have a drink of water, right?"


    Someone at the scene could no longer wait. A middle-aged man sitting in the front row took a bottle of water from the table, opened the cap, and was about to feed himself.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Suddenly, a stern voice sounded from the doorway, and Ye Fan and Maid Xiao Wen appeared at the entrance.


    As Ye Fan chided, his figure swiftly moved, appearing in front of the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye, and he snatched the bottle of water from the man''s hand.


    "Young Master Ye? What do you mean by this?" The middle-aged man frowned. Although they all considered Ye Fan to be a fool, it still felt ufortable to have the water that was about to reach his mouth taken away in front of so many people.


    "Uncle Zheng, you will understand in a moment," Ye Fan responded to the man in front of him and turned to Maid Xiao Wen, "Is everything they prepared ready?"


    "Everything is prepared!"


    As she spoke, Xiao Wen had the Ye Family''s bodyguards bring up several cages containing little white mice.


    Ye Fan did not say much and poured the water that Uncle Zheng wanted to drink into the bowls of the little white mice!


    The little white mice in the cage immediately rushed forward and startedpping up the water from the bowls.


    Everyone in the private room watched the situation with puzzled faces, full of curiosity.


    What was Young Master Ye doing?


    Since bing foolish five years ago, the Ye Family''s idiotic young master often did things that people couldn''t understand.


    Bringing mice to the banquet, were they going to let the mice hop right on the tablester?


    A stir arose from the crowd, and just as everyone was about to ask questions, the inevitable happened.


    The little white mice in the cage suddenly began to convulse violently, their mouths frothing madly, and then their bodies stiffened, losing their vitality forcepletely.


    All three little white mice in the cage met their end in an instant.


    "Ah? What''s this..." All the people at the scene were dumbfounded. Even the dimmest could now clearly see that there was poison in the water in front of them.


    "Damn!" The middle-aged man who was just about to drink the water leapt up on the spot, shouting excitedly, "Motherfucker! The water is poisoned? I almost became that little white mouse!"


    As everyone was shocked, they all hurriedly pushed away the water sses and bottled waters in front of them.


    Among the Ye Family''s direct lineage force, there were a few who were in the Grandmaster Realm and had some expertise in the use of poison.


    But they had not detected the poison in the water just now, had they?


    While everyone was shocked, they became even more curious��how did Ye Fan, an idiot, know about this?


    "It''s not just in the water!" Ye Fan spoke calmly before opening another cage. Several small white mice scurried from the cage onto the table and started nibbling on the delicious dishesid out.


    But within three seconds, the result was the same. The mice had only taken a couple of bites of the chicken soup on the table before they keeled over, dead on the spot!


    Whoosh!


    The people present werepletely stirred up!


    "Damn it! These people�� they''ve gone too far! Poison in the water and in the food, do they really intend to eradicate uspletely?"


    "Shit! Elder Ye, just give the order and we''ll fight them... These ruthless, vile bastards, it seems they won''t let off anyone associated with the Ye Family!"


    "Brothers, none of us should back down, let''s fight them!"


    The atmosphere on the scene was instantly pushed to a climax!


    Dozens of people present, most of whom ruled over their own domains or were top figures in their industries.


    They had all relied on the Ye Family to grow, and now that the Ye Family was in trouble, they were still unwaveringly loyal.


    However, in the crowd, there were still a few whose faces didn''t show much change in expression upon seeing the situation, and even a hint of resentment could be seen in their eyes.


    Although that look was fleeting, Ye Fan captured the shift in their emotions with sharp sensitivity.


    But now, most of the lower-level henchmen acting against the Ye Family had been dealt with by Ye Fan.


    It was time for some of the Ye Family''s heritage and secrets to be made known.


    The Zhao Family of Cloud City, the Li Family, Wang Family, the young master of the Liu Family from the Provincial City, and Chu Feng sent by the Northwest, all perished in Cloud City. If the Ye Family did not reveal some of their foundation, their opponents would not continue to expose their tails.


    After a bout of emotional upheaval, the crowd finally calmed down somewhat.


    At that moment, the elites and leaders finally caught on to something they were curious about.


    "Elder Ye, Young Master Ye Fan, he? This is��" Thinking back to what had just happened, the crowd only then realized that Ye Fan had used the white mice for experimentation and had also warned everyone not to touch anything here in advance, which certainly did not seem like the intelligence and strategy of a fool!


    Ye Changfeng looked at Ye Fan, and after receiving his nod of approval, pointed to Lei Qianjue beside him and said, "This is Mr. Lei, the Great Xia Medical Saint, who everyone knows, right? Divine Doctor Lei has examined Ye Fan and says that Ye Fan is slowly recovering and should be able to fully return to normal soon! One of the reasons we called everyone here today was to officially announce this news!"


    Whoosh!


    The words of Ye Changfeng made the scene explode in excitement!


    "Congrattions to Elder Ye! Happy congrattions to Elder Ye!"


    "Has Young Master Ye finally awakened? Heaven has not forsaken our Ye Family!"


    "Haha! With Young Master Ye''s monstrous talent, those who have massacred our Ye Family''s sons must pay with their blood!"


    Nearly everyone present erupted, some offering congrattions to Old Master Ye, others to Ye Fan.


    They were very clear on what Ye Fan''s awakening meant!


    Ye Fan''s monstrous talent, already at the Grandmaster Realm five years ago, meant that once his talent was restored, it wouldn''t be long before he could break through to the Martial Venerable Realm, right?


    With a Martial Venerable Realm powerhouse within the Ye Family, it wouldn''t be so easy for the rest of Great Xia to quietly erase the Ye Family from existence.


    And most crucially, once Ye Fan fully awakened, the Ye Family would regain its backbone. The families and forces aligned with the Ye Family would also have their backbone, and the Tianlong Army would regain theirs...


    Everyone could now see hope for the future, naturally leading them to approach things with greater zeal!

 Chapter 125 Young Master Ye likes my granddaughter? Then Ill give her to you!

    The scene was abuzz with excitement, as if everyone had been injected with adrenaline!


    After the crowd had calmed down slightly, Ye Changfeng continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ye is very grateful that you could alle today! Although Xiao Fan''s condition has improved, it is only a partial improvement and the situation is still unstable. At times he may be foolish, and at other times he may temporarily return to normal... The Ye Family still needs everyone''s continued strong support..."


    Lei Qianjue also spoke up, "Elder Ye is right. Young Master Ye''s condition has only recovered by a third. If he is to make aplete recovery, he needs at least three more months... His lucid state can only be maintained for about an hour each day at most, and he could revert to foolishness at any time..."


    While Lei Qianjue spoke, he felt his face burning!


    He was well aware of Ye Fan''s true condition from the time Yu Linglong invited him to treat Ye Fan''s illness. Ye Fan waspletely back to normal, and his power was even more against heaven''s will.


    Lei Qianjue had even acknowledged Ye Fan as his master. Now, he had no choice but to y along with his master''s act!


    The statements made by Lei Qianjue and Ye Changfeng were prearranged with Ye Fan.


    The three-month recovery period they set was exactly the buffer Ye Fan intended to give his opponents.


    If Ye Fan had fully returned to his normal state now, with his exceptional talent, it would probably terrify his opponents to the point where they wouldn''t dare make a move.


    But given that Ye Fan had not yet fully recovered and full recovery would take another three months, the adversaries, after some hesitation, would surely continue to take action. During this three-month window, before Ye Fan could fully regain his strength, they would aim to wipe out both Ye Fan and the overall Ye Family.


    "That''s quite good! Five years ago, Young Master Ye was the number one monstrous talent in Great Xia. As long as there is hope for recovery, he can surely reach the peak again!"


    "Exactly, Elder Ye, rest assured! During your trip to the Capital, we will surely do our utmost to protect the Ye Family and safeguard Young Master Ye!"


    Previously, Ye Changfeng had mentioned that he nned to make a trip to the Capital to secure asting future for the Ye Family.


    Although Ye Changfeng would have the one million soldiers of the Tianlong Army as leverage for his trip to the Capital, the situation was still extremely perilous. Hence, he had arranged for Ye Fan to definitely separate from him, and although Ye Fan''s own strength was already formidable, his real power remained unrevealed. With those legitimate lineage forces of the Ye Family not yet congregated and his own people not seeing a hope for the future, they were even less likely toy down their lives.


    Therefore, summoning the legitimate lineage force of the Ye Family this time was also in preparation for a counterattack and revenge!


    "Mr. Ye thanks everyone!" Ye Changfeng bowed to the crowd, "You''ve all been put through a lot. Let''s move to another location and continue eating and talking there!"


    As everyone in the private room began to tuck in, Ye Fan signaled towards the window!


    Whizz whizz whizz!


    In an instant, those Wandering Soul experts hidden outside the window broke through and rushed towards the entrance of the private room.


    Huh?


    Everyone at the scene was taken aback. There were so many powerful figures hidden outside?


    With so many leaders in the private room, howe only a few had noticed what was happening outside?


    Were all these people arranged by Ye Fan?


    "Elders, there is no need for rm! Those outside the door are just some underlings from Building Beyond Building, let them clean up a bit!" Ye Fan said with a light smile, exining the situation to everyone.


    Although it was just a simple sentence, it allowed everyone to really see Ye Fan''spetence.


    From initially stopping everyone from eating any of the food on site, not drinking a drop of water present, to sending the Maids to calm things first,ter controlling the assassins in the main kitchen, to arranging his own people outside the window for any eventuality!


    Each action connected seamlessly to the next, with meticulous thought and extraordinary tactics.


    All of the Ye Family''s legitimate lineage force stopped when Ye Fan spotted a beautiful girl in a mini skirt among the crowd.


    The moment Ye Fan saw the girl, she also noticed him and quickly hid behind an old man.


    With a gentle smile, Ye Fan said, "The beautifuldy hiding there, no need to hide, I see you. Come over and chat, will you?"


    Ye Fan suddenly spoke up, causing everyone present to look back.


    Those who came to the venue today were primarily elderly and middle-aged men, with thest beautiful young girl being the only exception.


    She was Han Youyue, the beloved granddaughter of the old master of the Han Family!


    Old Han, Han Wuji, had been working in intelligence alongside Ye Changfeng for nearly fifty years and was about to retire. This time, he brought his granddaughter along, presumably for her to see the world!


    "Xiao Fan? Youyue?" Ye Changfeng nced at Ye Fan, then at Han Youyue standing behind, somewhat puzzled by Ye Fan''s intentions.


    Ye Changfeng was well aware that Ye Fan had nock of beautiful women around him.


    Xuan Yufei, who had previously mored to call off their engagement, the seven sisters-inw that followed, as well as the Four Great Maids arranged by Ye Fan''s mother��any one of them was a true gem. What was Ye Fan''s purpose in setting his sights on Han Youyue?


    "Grandpa, that beautiful woman smells so nice, I want her to stay by my side, is that okay?" The sharpness in Ye Fan''s eyes suddenly disappeared, instantly reced by a somewhat silly and simple look.


    This scene left everyone present baffled.


    Was Young Master Ye''s condition really that unstable?


    He had just been so astute, and now he was acting silly again? s! Hopefully, Divine Doctor Lei could act swiftly and fully cure Ye Fan''s condition!


    However, amongst the crowd, several lurking figures couldn''t help but reveal smug smiles on their lips.


    Thankfully, there was still a chance!


    The situation today must be reported to the leaders above immediately so that they can make the necessary moves as soon as possible.


    "Old Han��" Since Ye Fan had made such a request, although Ye Changfeng didn''t understand his purpose, he still called out to his old pal Han Wuji.


    Han Wuji, apanied by his granddaughter Han Youyue, swiftly stepped forward and spoke respectfully, "Elder Ye! If Young Master Ye wishes for Youyue to stay by his side, I believe she would be more than willing!"


    Han Youyue stomped her feet in annoyance on the side, "Grandfather, I don''t want to��"


    Humph!


    This Ye Fan was definitely doing this on purpose.


    Just now in the restroom, she had stepped on him and had seen such an embarrassing part of Ye Fan; his insistence on having her by his side was definitely with ulterior motives!


    Moreover, how could Ye Fan appear to be in a state of idiocy?


    He was definitely pretending!


    Intuition told Han Youyue that this Ye Fan was not an easy person to serve.


    "Grandfather, I really want her! She smells so nice, and if I could smell her every day, I would be sofortable!" Ye Fan also shook Ye Changfeng''s arm a few times as he held onto it.


    Han Youyue wanted to speak again, but Grandfather Han Wuji cut her off directly, "Youyue! Obey, and stay well by Young Master Ye''s side. It''s an honor for you that Young Master Ye fancies you�� Follow all of Young Master Ye''s arrangements, fulfill 100% of his requests, understand? This is an order!"


    Han Wuji''s cold gaze sent Han Youyue''s words of refusal back to her.


    A sharp gleam flickered in Han Wuji''s eyes as he looked at Ye Changfeng and then at Lei Qianjue. Combining this with some of Ye Fan''s previous actions, Han Wuji had already formed a rough hypothesis in his mind!


    They were likely putting on a deliberate act!


    Han Wuji didn''t understand why Ye Fan wanted Han Youyue by his side, but he had a vague feeling that this was an enormous opportunity for the Han Family��


    "Young Master Ye, since you fancy my granddaughter, I will offer her to you. You can have her do anything!"

 Chapter 126 So youre doing this to get back at me, arent you? Hmph! I would never agree to that!

    Especially the phrase "anything at all," which Han Wuji said with particr depth of meaning!


    Ye Fan couldn''t help but feel utterly bewildered as he listened!


    Did this old guy mean that his granddaughter could help warm the bed?


    This old geezer has definitely got some twisted ideas!


    Ye Fan kept Han Youyue around merely to have her in charge of the intelligence work he would need afterward.


    It wasn''t just Han Wuji who had twisted thoughts��all those from the Ye Family''s direct lineage force at the scene had their minds wander too, whispering among themselves.


    "Ah! It''s a pity my granddaughter didn''te today; I missed catching this outpouring wealth!"


    "Yeah! Damn it, I even want to go snatch a granddaughter to send to Young Master Ye''s bed!"


    "But isn''t Young Master Ye being silly right now? Aren''t you guys sentencing your own granddaughters to misery by doing this?"


    "You''re the damn fool, think about it��if Young Master Ye looks a little foolish now, he might actually fancy these ordinary girls. But once Young Master Yees to his senses, our granddaughters might not even catch his eye even if they line up! Being intimate with Young Master Ye now means when he fully recovers, he surely can''t just pull up his pants and deny everything..."


    Listening to the crowd''s jabbering discussions below, Ye Fan also felt rather helpless.


    Chapter Enjoy:


    He summoned Han Youyue, who was extremely reluctant to leave, and they headed towards the entrance of the Building Beyond Building Hotel.


    "You''re doing this on purpose, aren''t you? You just want to get back at me, right? Hmph! Such a petty man... Are you even a man?" Inside the elevator, Han Youyue finally found an opportunity to unleash her barrage of words at Ye Fan.


    "Whether I''m a man, haven''t you already seen for yourself? I even doubt if you''re a woman��why don''t you let me verify that? Remember, you still owe me a favor!" Ye Fan responded lightly, instantly causing Han Youyue''s face to flush with embarrassment as she retorted, "Shut up!"


    Han Wuji, who stood nearby, hadn''t paid attention to their conversation until he suddenly heard his granddaughter''s reprimand and immediately frowned, "Youyue, you should show respect to Young Master Ye, understand? From now on, you''re one of the maids by Young Master Ye''s side, and you must obey Young Master Ye''s instructions, or else... Young Master Ye, feel free to spank her if necessary!"


    "What?" Han Youyue looked depressed and protested, "Grandfather, how can you be like this... He''s obviously doing this for revenge!"


    "Revenge, what revenge?" Han Wuji continued, "Stop talking, Youyue, you should be more amodating to Young Master Ye. He''s still in a foolish state right now, so why get angry at a fool?"


    A fool?


    Han Youyue paused, nced at Ye Fan next to her, and huffed in her heart!


    This guy, he''s definitely no fool!


    He''s doing this on purpose!


    But with Grandfather''s stance so resolute, Han Youyue knew it was no use to object. She could only sigh helplessly and look for an opportunity to escapeter!


    Whether Ye Fan was a fool or not, Han Youyue had no desire to stay by the side of such a rogue!


    As everyone emerged from the entrance of the Building Beyond Building Hotel, they saw a huge, densely packed crowd outside, nearly a thousand strong.


    Leading the group were Guo Li, Wang Fugui, Xia Hao, Li Hu, Liu Wuyang, and others. There were also Martial Arts experts from Wandering Soul who had brought the owner of Building Beyond Building, Li Cheng, to the front. Further behind were senior managers from Hongda Transportation Company and high-ranking members of the Divine Eagle Security Group...


    "Elder Ye, how should we deal with these people?" Wandering Soul captain Niu Er asked Elder Ye for instructions, but his gaze was actually awaiting Ye Fan''s direction.


    Ye Changfeng nced at Ye Fan and said, "Temporarily detain them at the Wandering Soul base. After today''s events are over, I will have a talk with them myself."


    While speaking, Ye Changfeng''s eyes sharply scrutinized those senior leaders.


    Many of them had been personally chosen by Ye Changfeng, but he had not expected them to be bribed by the Holy Envoy Organization, aiming topletely annihte the Ye Family in the end.


    Ungrateful wretches!


    The Ye Family''s adversaries were bing increasingly brazen!


    "Elder Ye, the other restaurant has been arranged. Please get in the car!" With the matter of the traitor temporarily settled, Guo Li stepped forward and reported to Ye Changfeng.


    Everything had been prearranged by Ye Fan!


    Ye Changfeng nodded his head. He was very satisfied with this younger brother of Ye Fan and spoke to the Direct Lineage Force of the Ye Family, "This is Young Master Guo Li of the Guo Family from Provincial City, who grew up wearing split pants with Xiao Fan. He has always been Xiao Fan''s right-hand man and military strategist. Please support him in the future. The world will be theirs someday!"


    With just a casual remark from Ye Changfeng, everyone present from the Ye Family''s Direct Lineage Force felt a sudden tension.


    What seemed like a casual introduction had already revealed Old Master Ye''s intentions. He was nning to transfer power and pave the way for the younger generation.


    So many people had gathered here without stirring up noise, among them, there were Martial Arts Experts like Wandering Souls sitting in... Everything was being coordinated and arranged by Ye Fan!


    This once again shocked everyone present!


    The alert Ye Fan was truly formidable!


    Moreover, looking at the partners gathered around Ye Fan, it seemed that Ye Fan''s team was already taking shape.


    Schr Guo served as the strategist, Wang Fugui concentrated on martial strength... Those in the know were aware that Liu Wuyang, the Second Young Master of the Liu Family from Provincial City, had pledged loyalty to Ye Fan. He was probably going to be the God of Wealth in Ye Fan''s team, in charge of finances...


    So, do geniuses really attract each other?


    These monstrous geniuses gathered together, waiting for the moment Ye Fan fully recovered, the entirendscape of Great Xia might change!


    Under Guo Li''s arrangement, everyone boarded the cars headed to another restaurant.


    It went without saying that Han Youyue and Ye Fan''s Maids Nan Sheng and Xiao Wen naturally shared the same car with Ye Fan.


    Looking at Han Youyue sitting next to him, with a calm face showing displeasure, Ye Fan smiled slightly, "You don''t really think I asked you to stay by my side just because I was taken with your looks, do you?"


    "What else would it be? Humph! Pervert!" Han Youyue responded somewhat sassily.


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Han Youyue, although you are very beautiful, would I, Ye Fan, everck beautiful women by my side? Five years ago, when I traveled the globe, the Crown Princess Consort of Bridian, the princess of Itali, the Crown Princess of Dongying... they all had a crush on me. I never had eyes for them, let alone for you? You are... too small..."


    While speaking, Ye Fan deliberately nced at Han Youyue''s chest.


    The insult wasn''t great, but the disrespect was immense!


    Han Youyue mumbled indignantly, "Shameless!"


    What''s small? Clearly, it''s a D-cup, okay? What else do you want?


    Humph!


    Han Youyue provocatively pushed her chest forward as if in defiance.


    "Xiao Wen, take out the things!" Ye Fan didn''t continue the conversation but motioned for Xiao Wen to take out a pile of bank cards and hand them to Han Youyue, "There''s twenty billion here. I need you..."


    "What are you doing? Trying to buy me with money? Let me tell you, I''m not that kind of person... You''re really insulting me. Stop the car, I want to get off..." Han Youyue, upon seeing the pile of bank cards in Xiao Wen''s hands, becamepletely angry and disappointed.


    Ye Fan was also somewhat speechless, "Sister, can you please listen to what I have to say? It deserves a p!"


    As Ye Fan spoke, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Han Youyue''s slender waist, and delivered two ps to her buttocks!


    p! p!


    Sharp ps resounded inside the car, and Han Youyue immediately screamed, "Ah... you''re shameless, you actually... actually spanked me... ah..."


    Ye Fan ignored Han Youyue''s outburst but continued, "I''m giving you twenty billion, and I want you to establish an intelligencework in three months that is exclusively under your control and management, by whatever means and methods necessary!"

 Chapter 127 Who Says Im Busty but Brainless?

    "Ah?"


    Still feeling the burning pain in her buttocks, Han Youyue was stunned by what Ye Fan said next.


    Two hundred billion to establish an intelligencework?


    Somehow incredulous, Han Youyue looked at Ye Fan, "Why me?"


    Was this Ye Fan really so domineering?


    To offer two hundred billion without even blinking an eye!


    "Aren''t you afraid I''ll take the money and run?" Han Youyue''s face showed shock as she looked at the bank card in Xiao Wen''s hand, that was two hundred billion, not just two hundred!


    Although the Han Family was also a n under the Ye Family''s wing, the entire family''s assets amounted to just tens of billions.


    Chapter Your:


    Now with Ye Fan in such a crisis, was Ye Fan an idiot, where did he get so much money from?


    "Hehe! Your Han Family has long been deeply tied to my Ye Family, and I''ve thoroughly researched your information. Since you were thirteen years old, your grandfather sent you to train covertly overseas with the KGB, Military Intelligence Division 6... such a long time was meant to train you as your grandfather''s sessor..."


    Ye Fan''s words caused a sh of astonishment in Han Youyue''s eyes.


    These secret operations, grandfather had said, were known only to him and herself.


    And when Han Youyue was born, she wasn''t revealed to be rted to the Han Family but was raised secretly at a hidden location. Han Youyue just recently made an appearance at the Han Family, and Ye Fan had dug up her background so thoroughly?


    This Ye Fan, how could he possibly be the fool everyone thought he was!


    "You big swindler, you''ve fooled everyone, haven''t you? Humph..." Amidst her astonishment, Han Youyue couldn''t help but feel a bit of admiration.


    If Ye Fan hadn''t yed the fool to deceive Ye Family''s opponents, he probably would have been dead five years ago.


    Now... Ye Fan continued to feign foolishness, but he was quietly gathering the Ye Family''s legitimate lineage forces. Was he preparing to counterstrike?


    "Actually, you are very aware that if I hadn''t yed dumb, I would have died five years ago!" Ye Fan looked deeply at Han Youyue, "That''s the situation. If you think you can''t do it, you can pretend today''s conversation never happened! Anyway, it seems you''re just a brainless beauty!"


    Ye Fan deliberately provoked Han Youyue!


    Sure enough, upon hearing that, Han Youyue immediately got upset, "What did you say? Who says I''m brainless... Isn''t it just about setting up an intelligence system? Which ear of yours heard that I couldn''t? Humph! I''ll show you... If I meet the target in three months, you have to apologize to me on your knees... You''ve already sullied my eyes in the bathroom..."


    Han Youyue was clearly acting on a grudge!


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Fine! If youplete what I''ve asked in three months, I will definitely kneel and give you a proper apology, honestly apologize to you..."


    Ye Fan smiled mischievously, quietly adding to himself!


    An apology is fine, kneeling is fine too, but the environment and ce to kneel �C that''s up for discussion.


    A man only kneels in one ce...


    Thanks to Liu Hao''s timely delivery of the list of information, Ye Fan arranged his ns in advance and caught all the betrayers lurking around the Ye Family in one fell swoop, and even averted a poisoning case at Building Beyond Building.


    It just so happens that before Zhao Tianlong''s father, Zhao Dechang, died, he also said that there were other infiltrators in Cloud City. These must be them!


    They must be thest hidden forces in Cloud City!


    Ye Fan took a long breath and rxed. With Cloud City''s thorns removed, his next step was to stir things up in the Provincial City!


    Only by using a greater lure could he provoke all the true masterminds behind the scenes to reveal themselves.


    Even though Elder Zhang and Elder Tang Zheng are of high status and wield tremendous power, relying just on them to make a move against the core disciples of the Ye Family in the Seven War Zones was still somewhatcking.


    There are others backing those two Elders!


    What Ye Fan wanted was direct evidence!


    More crucially, aside from the power of the Elders'' side, the Holy Envoy Organization had also joined in the action against the Ye Family!


    Now that the Liu Family had suddenly pledged allegiance, delivering this list, Ye Fan had destroyed all of the Holy Envoy''s final arrangements in Cloud City. That Young Master Zhou in the Capital must be unable to hold back, right?


    ...


    On a ne from the Capital to Cloud City, Young Master Zhou was resting with his eyes half-closed when he was suddenly awakened by his assistant.


    "Young Master Zhou, something big has happened in Cloud City. All the people we had arranged there were wiped out ten minutes ago by the Ye Family, along with Wandering Soul, Xia Hao, Li Hu, and others!" The assistant, looking at the report in his hands, had an ugly expression. "And, the poison assassination nned for today ended inplete failure, the direct lineage force of the Ye Family remains unharmed!"


    "What''s more infuriating is that besides the death of Poison Master, all the other people have been captured alive. Your identity, Young Master Zhou, I am afraid, has also been exposed!"


    "Dammit!" Young Master Zhou, just awakened, was so angry at the report from his subordinate that he mmed his fist onto the seat, and his strong Qi Force caused the entire ne to jolt.


    The assistant was startled. "Young Master Zhou, please be gentle! We are on a ne. If you tear it apart, we all will die!"


    Zhou Ming also realized the severity of the situation and suppressed his Qi Force a bit, but the anger on his face was not at all subdued.


    "A bunch of useless fools! Stupid pigs! Our arrangements of many years ruined in an instant, how are we to control the Ye Family in Cloud City from now on?" Although Zhou Ming was furious, he knew he had to continue on. "Are there any other news?"


    "Elder Tang Zheng from the Capital ordered Sun Desheng of the Sun Family to try and take over the proxy rights and failed; in the end, we don''t know whether he was killed by Song Pa''s men or Ye Fan! The Sun Family has suffered crazed retaliation!"


    "Northwestern Elder Zhang also made a move and had Young Master Jin Yang of the Jin Family from the Provincial City go out, uniting with the Gu Sect Gu Masters, nning an operation in Cloud City!"


    "Additionally, in the private meeting of the Ye Family''s direct lineage force, Ye Changfeng released news that Ye Fan is starting to wake up, and every day he is able to be conscious for one hour. Lei Qianjue has said that within three months, Ye Fan will bepletely back to normal!"


    After hearing his subordinate''s report, Zhou Ming''s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he let out a sigh of helplessness, "s! Five years ago, I shouldn''t have shown mercy to Ye Fan. I should have sent him to the Western Paradise then. Now... our time is running out. Three months... If within three months we cannotpletely deal with Ye Fan and the Ye Family, we all will suffer!"


    "Contact Elder Tang Zheng and Elder Zhang right away. Ye Fan is starting to wake up! That monstrous talent, no telling what ns he might have... We must act together and twist our forces into one!"


    "Yes!" replied the assistant, who, thinking of the current situation in Cloud City, said with some concern, "Young Master Zhou, things are not looking good in Cloud City at the moment. Shall we wait a few days more before going?"


    In just a few short days, none of the families that opposed the Ye Family had met with a good fate; all had perished!


    Even Captain Chu Feng of Elder Zhang''s men from the Northwestern, a Martial Venerable Realm expert, did not survive; his death remains a mystery.


    Although Zhou Ming was a member of the Holy Envoy Organization and had some special means, if he happened to encounter the conscious Ye Fan, would he be any match for him?

 Chapter 128 Why Dont You Kiss Me to Verify?

    "Ye Fan is already starting to wake up, and you want to wait a few more days? Damn it, are we going to wait until he has a child before we make our move? Hmph! Speed up the advance!" Zhou Ming coldly reprimanded his assistant, "I''m not that foolish. Although the Ye Family has already cleared out most of our deployed forces, there''s still a part that even Liu Hao doesn''t know about!"


    "I won''t take direct action until I have a clear understanding of Ye Fan''s background!"


    A glint of darkness shed in Zhou Ming''s eyes, the Holy Envoy Organization had another wave of forces arranged in Cloud City, and among these forces, there were some who were Ye Fan''s old ssmates!


    They organized a ss reunion, then create some conflict, and they could naturally see Ye Fan''s true situation!


    ...


    In the vehicle where Ye Fan and Han Youyue were,


    Han Youyue had reluctantly agreed to Ye Fan''s request, but as soon as she twisted her body, she suddenly felt something abnormal about it.


    A warm current?


    Several strong surges of warmth had unexpectedly appeared in her body, originating from the spot where her butt was smacked, spreading throughout her body, nourishing and cultivating her body''s meridians, and then transforming into Martial Arts Qi, rapidly enhancing her strength!


    This...


    At first, Han Youyue thought she had felt it wrong, but after calming down and paying close attention, she finally confirmed that the source of the warm current was indeed the spot where Ye Fan had smacked her butt, from which it flowed into her body.


    Could it be so demonic?


    Could this be the reason for Ye Fan''s demonic genius? Just by being spanked by Ye Fan, one''s own strength could be enhanced? And Ye Fan himself had been improving his strength through this warm current?


    Han Youyue nced at Ye Fan, very much wanting to verify the thoughts in her heart, but at the moment it didn''t seem right to speak up, she surely couldn''t just stick her butt out and ask Ye Fan to spank her again, could she?


    After hesitating for a moment, Han Youyue suddenly grabbed Ye Fan''s wrist, bit down on it hard.


    Here ites!


    Here ites!


    The moment their skin touched, that familiar warm current surged once again from Han Youyue''s lips into her body.


    Just with one bite, Han Youyue realized that Ye Fan''s arm was as hard as steel, almost breaking her teeth.


    "Are you a dog or something?" Ye Fan looked at Han Youyue indifferently.


    "Hmph!" Han Youyue tossed Ye Fan''s arm aside, retorting coquettishly, "I just wanted to check that warm current thing on you!"


    "If you wanted to validate it, you could have just kissed me on the face!" Ye Fan rolled his eyes. This Han Youyue really was a rose with thorns, quite spicy.


    "In your dreams!" Han Youyue''s face turned a shade of red, she chirped petntly, and couldn''t help but recall the eye-searing scene she had seen in the bathroom.


    Her own eyes felt tainted now, she just couldn''t shake the image she had seen, so embarrassing!


    It was all Ye Fan''s damn fault!


    But thinking about that mysterious warm current on Ye Fan, envy intensified in Han Youyue''s eyes.


    As long as she had close skin contact with Ye Fan, she could receive enough warm current to reap great benefits. If she spent enough time with Ye Fan, wouldn''t her strength surpass a Grandmaster, a Martial Venerable, and even reach the lofty realm of a Martial Saint?


    Somewhere deep inside, Han Youyue felt like she might have found herself a golden thigh to cling to!


    Should I hold on to it?


    ...


    The other restaurant arranged by Guo Li wasn''t far from here!


    As everyone discussed specific countermeasures while dining, it wasn''t until the meal was nearly finished that Ye Fan signaled for his grandfather to join him in the private rest room.


    "What''s the matter, Xiao Fan?" Ye Changfeng had drunk some wine, his face flushed with a healthy glow, a stark contrast to his previous dejected appearance.


    "Grandfather, have you seen this map scroll before?"


    Ye Fan took out the sheepskin scroll given by Liu Hao and handed it to Ye Changfeng.


    Upon seeing the scroll, Ye Changfeng''s expression immediately became excited, "I have finally seen such a scroll again... Xiao Fan, you truly are the Qilin Child of the Ye Family! Ah!"


    Ye Changfeng sighed deeply, "Our Ye Family suffered such arge-scale attack and ambush because they were after maps like this! However, what the outside world doesn''t know is that the Ye Family actually has seven of these maps... They point to a ce of Divinity, said to contain endless cultivation techniques, and there are even rumors of secret manuals for cultivation..."


    Seven copies?


    Ye Fan''s heart skipped a beat. With one fragment already in his possession, gathering all seven pieces would probably allow him to assemble nearly theplete map, right?


    Cloud Summit Heaven Pce, was that the site of a Divinity?


    Could this be the origin of the Divine Gate?


    "Where are those maps?" asked Ye Fan, curious why his grandfather, knowing of their existence, hadn''t mentioned them when they were discussing the Ye Family''s Underground Pcest time.


    Ye Changfeng shook his head, "Those maps were brought back by your mother! After you were born, she gave each of the seven maps to your seven brothers for safekeeping... But now, all seven of your brothers have perished, and those seven maps... Ah..."


    "However, considering the character of your brothers, they would have made arrangements to secure those maps in the face of danger! Your mother said that the secrets within those maps were tied to the life and death of all the people in the world and also rted to the future prosperity of the Ye Family... You must collect them all as soon as possible and not let them fall into the wrong hands..."


    The Heavenly Pce map, that was the key to entering the site of Divinity. If the people from the Holy Envoy Organization gained entrance to the Heavenly Pce and acquired the inheritance within, more people would suffer.


    The crucial point was, if those enemies of the Ye Family got their hands on the inheritance inside, the chances of Ye Fan avenging his brothers and uncles, as well as protecting his sisters-inw and the Ye Family, would be even slimmer.


    "Alright!"


    Ye Fan responded. ording to his original n, after clearing the enemies in Cloud City and Tiannan Province, he also intended to visit the ces where his brothers met their demise to uncover the truth behind their deaths.


    Now, he simply had an additional minor task!


    While investigating the killers of his brothers and uncles, he''d also need to find those missing maps!


    ...


    After the meal concluded, Ye Fan came out of the hotel building to find Qing Run waiting in her car at the entrance. Upon seeing him, she approached with a pleased expression and affectionately linked her arm with Ye Fan''s, saying, "Xiao Fan, this way!"


    Just yesterday evening, Qing Run was worried about how to handle the jade source with the Qing Family under pressure.


    But today, after Ye Fan took action, General Song Pa changed his mind and handed over the jade agency rights for the entire Great Xia to the Qing Family.


    When the news reached the Qing Family, they were all exhrated; her father, uncles, grandfather, and other core shareholders praised Qing Run profusely and looked at Ye Fan with newfound respect...


    On her way there, Qing Run thought a lot. Ye Fan had helped her so much, how should she repay him?

 Chapter 129 Taking My Sister-in-Law to the Class Reunion!

    Although on the day of the Ye Family funeral, Qing Run and her sister-inw Yu Linglong, among others, announced their marriage to Ye Fan!


    They agreed that each person would apany Ye Fan for a month to expand and carry on the Ye Family lineage!


    But when it really came down to it, Qing Run was still somewhat bashful.


    After all, she had been a sister-inw before, and besides, in broad daylight, was she really going to drag Ye Fan to a hotel?


    If Ye Fan were still a fool now, it would be fine, but what if Ye Fan suddenly came to his senses someday? Wouldn''t she die of embarrassment?


    Once Ye Fan got on the car, Qing Run looked at Ye Fan next to her, the sunny boy and a hint of daze flickered in her eyes, "Xiao Fan husband, do you... like me?"


    Ye Fan was taken aback, looking at Qing Run''s expression, unsure of what she meant.


    "Of course I like you! Wife Run is the best... Princess Yu doesn''t want me anymore, now I have Weiwei wife, Run wife, and also Linglong wife... so many, so many... hehe!"


    Ye Fan replied to Qing Run frankly, his simplicity stirring another pang in her.


    Poor Ye Fan, his family had suffered such a disaster, and during that critical time, Xuan Yufei, that girl, actually broke off the engagement, adding salt to the wound!


    "Xiao Fan husband, what I want to tell you is, although I was designated as the Ye Family''s daughter-inw very early on, the intended was Liu Lang, but... since they were always at the military front, we had nothing, not even held hands... don''t mind it!"


    Actually, Qing Run didn''t know why she felt the need to exin all this to Ye Fan.


    In front of her, Ye Fan was a fool, and her marriage to him was initially solely to repay the Ye Family and secure their lineage.


    But having spent these past few days with Ye Fan, Qing Run couldn''t understand what was happening to her. It seemed as though there was a strange magic power in Ye Fan, drawing her in,pelling her to think of Ye Fan incessantly, as if her fate was obscurely tied to his.


    Although Qing Run spoke with ease, in reality, when it came to actually doing something, she was quite shy.


    Hearing Qing Run''s words, Ye Fan immediately understood that Qing Run was afraid he would mind.


    But what Qing Run didn''t know was that although Ye Fan had been feebleminded for five years, during those years, it was only his soul that he had sealed, and he was very clear about many things.


    Seven sister-inws, though nominally the Ye Family wives, in reality, nothing happened with any of them, they had hardly even met several times.


    "There was never anything to begin with, why would I mind? Now that Wife Run is so good to me, I''m too busy feeling heartache..." Ye Fan said while wrapping his arms around Qing Run.


    The moment their skin touched, that warmth was created again, nourishing Qing Run, and also reciprocating to Ye Fan, aiding him in enhancing his own abilities.


    Feeling the fine woman in his arms, Ye Fan''s hands boldly began to move on Qing Run''s body.


    Delving into the valley, scaling the peaks... tracing the exquisite contours of a human figure...


    Feeling Ye Fan''s touch, Qing Run''s entire body went limp in his arms, her lips instinctively reaching for Ye Fan''s, closing her eyes and murmuring inwardly, You damn rascal, do as you please!


    After all, sooner orter I''ll be yours!


    However, what worried Qing Run was that Ye Fan was already so bad in his foolish state.


    How much worse would he be once he fully regained his senses?


    By that time, would she and her sisters be able to withstand him?


    The atmosphere inside the car began to grow enchantingly romantic. Ye Fan felt restless, and he urgently needed to enhance his strength�� Ye Fan really wanted to take Qing Run right there!


    But at the critical moment, Ye Fan still stopped himself. Although Qing Run wouldn''t object, Ye Fan felt that to do so would still be too disrespectful to her.


    At least, it had to be in a presentable ce. In the car�� cough cough, that could be attemptedter��


    After a while, Qing Run sat up from Ye Fan''s embrace, looking somewhat disheveled, and said to him tenderly, "Xiao Fan, my husband, rest assured! Before you fully awaken, we, your seven sisters, will definitely protect you with all our might. You won''t suffer any harm or grievance!"


    Qing Run might appear fragile, but her words were resolute and strong.


    "Hmm!"


    Ye Fan also thought to himself, sister-inw, the deration you made at the funeral was the epitome of safeguarding the Ye Family''s honor. Against all odds, you all married a fool from the Ye Family. Such courage, such heroic spirit, how could I, Ye Fan, let you down?


    Sister-inw!


    I am no longer a fool!


    It''s just that, forced by the current situation, I can''t reveal myself yet!


    No sooner had Ye Fan''s voice faded when the sound of Maid Nan Sheng knocking on the car window arose, "Young Master, you have a call from a high school ssmate! They''re arranging a ss reunion, and all the ssmates will be there; you''re the only one missing. Will you go?"


    Nan Sheng was holding Ye Fan''s phone, and it transmitted ss monitor Qi Jun''s voice, "Ye Fan, we all know you became a fool... traumatized five years ago. But for that very reason, you shoulde out and get some fresh air. Maybe seeing us will jog your memory, and suddenly you won''t be foolish anymore?"


    Qi Jun''s words might sound benign at first listen, but upon closer analysis, one could detect the mocking tone in his voice.


    With theughter of Qi Jun''sckey, Wang Tao, echoing nearby, "Young Master Ye,e out and have fun�� I heard your sister-inw married you, bring her along for the fun! Ha-ha, let us also have a look..."


    The phone was on speaker, so Qing Run could hear everything clearly inside the car.


    Before Ye Fan could respond, Qing Run snatched the phone and said, "Very well! Isn''t it just a ss reunion? We''lle�� let''s see who dares to bully my husband in person!"


    Qing Run couldn''t stand to see Ye Fan being looked down upon and insulted like this!


    Five years ago, Ye Fan was a prodigious talent, the pride of heaven, the foremost among the younger generation of Great Xia.


    But a car ident changed all that, and with the Ye Family falling victim to a conspiracy, was Ye Fan supposed to be trampled like this?


    After hanging up the phone, Qing Run held Ye Fan''s hand and said, "Xiao Fan, don''t worry! With your wife here, isn''t it just a ss reunion? I''ll make them see that whoever dares to belittle my husband must pay the price!"


    Maid Nan Sheng, who was beside them, knew Ye Fan''s condition well, knew he had fully recovered, and was waiting for Ye Fan''s instructions.


    Ye Fan smiled slightly and said to Qing Run, "Alright! We''ll attend the ss reunion�� There are indeed some old ssmates that I haven''t seen in a long time!"


    A profound look shed in Ye Fan''s eyes. So many years had gone by, and now, they were suddenly organizing a ss reunion, expressly insisting he bring his sister-inw? This ss reunion, it wasn''t likely to be so simple.


    It was quite possible it was a trap waiting to be sprung!


    Ye Fan wasn''t afraid of their tactics; what he feared were the ones lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike!


    Attending might be good, to see which scoundrels were nning to strike from behind��

 Chapter 130 Damn, He Fooled Me!

    In the Southern Suburbs of Cloud City, within a courtyard, Qi Jun turned somewhat sheepishly to nce at the person beside him after hearing the affirmative reply through the phone.


    By Qi Jun''s side were Jin Yang, along with Young Master Zhou and a group of subordinates who had hurried over from the Capital.


    Only after seeing Young Master Zhou nod did Qi Jun continue, "Make sure you remember the address. It''s at the Cloud City Hotel; our ssmates will head there soon, and you should hurry over too!"


    After speaking, Qi Jun hung up the phone and, aiming to please, said to Young Master Zhou, "Young Master Zhou, that''s all we can do for now! That guy Ye Fan has been an idiot since five years ago. I''ve seen his half-witted demeanor countless times. Is he really that terrifying?"


    Young Master Zhou did not speak, but Jin Yang beside him said, "Whether or not he''s that powerful, we''ll see based on what you do next! If this matter is handled well, you''ll be duly rewarded!"


    With the support of Elder Zhang, Jin Yang had originally nned to unite with the Gu Sect''s experts and strike directly at Ye Fan and his brothers.


    However, Zhou Ming contacted Elder Zhang in time, informing him of Elder Tang Zheng''s failure, and immediately reached out to Jin Yang. They decided tobine the forces gathered by Jin Yang and the power controlled by Zhou Ming to set a life-or-death trap for Ye Fan.


    "Rest assured! Young Master Zhou, it''s our honor to follow you. We will not fail our mission and ensure that Ye Fan can''t return!" Qi Jun and a few others like Wang Tao showed a fierce look on their faces, ready to risk their lives at any moment.


    But Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "I didn''t ask you to arrange a ss reunion just so you could take risks. Your job is to make sure Ye Fan shows up at the venue and then provoke some conflict; leave the rest to me... I want to see if Ye Fan is truly foolish or just pretending..."


    Zhou Ming, as the White-robed Envoy of the Holy Envoy Organization, controlled all operations in the Southwestern Region and also had the authority to assist in the Great Xia''s operations, so naturally, his thinking was much more meticulous than Jin Yang''s.


    ording to the information currently in Young Master Zhou''s hands, the Soul Capturing Technique he had ced on Xuan Yufei was broken, and the only people near Xuan Yufei''s vi that evening were Ye Fan and Wang Fugui.


    Zhou Ming was now highly suspicious that Ye Fan had awakened; otherwise, it would be too coincidental.


    Moreover, Zhou Ming had seen Captain Chu Feng, Elder Zhang''s subordinate from the Northwest. With Martial Venerable Realm strength, and apanied by so many Grandmasters, they had ambushed the Ye Family, only to die silently��an entirely illogical oue!


    Normally, as Elder Zhang''s trusted aide, even if Chu Feng encountered problems while dealing with the Ye Family, he should have left someone on the outside to send a signal, right?


    But now, no matter what methods or means Elder Zhang and Zhou Ming used, they couldn''t get any information about what had happened at the Ye Family at that time.


    Although the Wandering Soul proimed responsibility for the incident, stating that Chu Feng was taken out by Niu Er and his men, Zhou Ming always felt something was off.


    "Okay!"


    After Qi Jun and the others left, Zhou Ming said to Jin Yang, "Young Master Jin, Elder Zhang must have exined the situation to you, right? We''re in the same boat now... Have the Gu Masters from the Gu Sect arrived yet? Today''s operation will probably rely mainly on them!"


    "Yes! The Gu Masters arrived this morning. If it weren''t for waiting for Young Master Zhou, I might have taken action earlier!"


    Jin Yang was somewhat displeased with Young Master Zhou''s sudden involvement, but Elder Zhang had exined that Zhou Ming''s position was higher than his, and Jin Yang was ordered to follow Zhou Ming''smands unconditionally. Reluctantly, Jin Yang had no choice.


    "In addition to the Gu Masters, I n to bring Su Yixue over as well! By then, binding both sisters-inw, Qing Run and Su Yixue, we''ll force Ye Fan to choose only one to save... Haha, that will be quite the spectacle..."


    Jin Yang still harbored resentment for the harm Ye Fan had caused him!


    To be humiliated in front of so many people, and then after the failed assassination attempt, to bepelled topensate with ten billion.


    This grudge, he had to avenge!


    "As you wish! I won''t attend the scene, but I need to know every detail of what happens there!"


    Zhou Ming still kept his caution!


    Chu Feng went to meet Ye Fan and never came back alive.


    Although Zhou Ming had some special abilities and cultivation techniques bestowed by the Holy Envoy Organization, and his strength was at the peak of Martial Venerable, with realbat power reaching the shocking level of Martial Emperor, he remained extremely cautious and wouldn''t risk himself lightly.


    ...


    In the Cloud City Hotel, Qi Jun had truly gathered most of his old ssmates.


    After all, the Qi Family held some influence in Cloud City.


    With Qi Jun saying that Ye Fan would also be at the scene, most of the ssmates still came, wanting to check on Ye Fan, whom they had heard had run into some trouble and be a bit mentally diminished over the years.


    The private room was already arranged, and Jin Yang''s people were in ce as well; the Gu Sect''s Gu Masters had disguised themselves as waiters, and security was hidden throughout the Cloud City Hotel.


    Everything was ready; they were just waiting for Ye Fan and Qing Run to arrive.


    Screech!


    When five ck Maybachs stopped at the hotel entrance, Qi Jun and the others were stunned, their gaze involuntarily shifting to the side.


    They thought some big shot had arrived.


    But when the door of the leading Maybach opened, Qi Jun and the others were dumbfounded.


    "Ye Fan?"


    The person getting out of the car was actually Ye Fan?


    At that moment, Ye Fan was dressed in a well-tailored ck suit, his hair styled, his facial features defined with an impressive and overwhelming air, and his eyes sharp, cutting through the souls of everyone present when he looked at them.


    With every step he took, the whole aura around him seemed to transform.


    This...


    Was this the mentally diminished young master of the Ye Family?


    There was not a trace of idiocy about Ye Fan now.


    By Ye Fan''s side, stepping down with him was Qing Run!


    Now, Qing Run had changed into a red gown, slender and voluptuous, tall... sexy yet elegant, with an angel''s face and a devil''s figure!


    Qing Run gently hooked her arm through Ye Fan''s, looking close and intimate.

    In front of the vehicles, Wang Fugui and Guo Li were also dressed in suits, standing to the left and right of Ye Fan and Qing Run, and they stretched out a hand saying, "Big brother! Sister-inw, please!"


    Behind them were Ye Fan''s four extremely beautiful maids, each dressed cutely and stunningly, oozing sexuality and allure.


    This disy, this standard!


    Damn it!


    I''ve been duped!


    Qi Jun had originally nned to show off his newly purchased Lamborghini in front of Ye Fan, thinking that the Ye Family was so devastated that their finances were perilous and they were on the brink of copse.


    But then... Ye Fan''s move was to bring out so many limited-edition Maybachs, any one of which could buy a dozen of his Lamborghinis.


    Qi Jun now felt like a clown in front of Ye Fan!


    Back then, whether it was family background, power, intelligence, or achievements, Ye Fan was always the most dazzling one!


    Five yearster, even though the Ye Family had suffered such a heavy blow, they still outshone them all.


    "Ye... Young Master Ye... you''ve arrived!" Qi Jun had originally nned to call Ye Fan by his name, but the words came to his lips, and he instinctively changed it to Young Master Ye!


    It seemed that at this moment, calling Ye Fan by his name didn''t quite suit the aura he now possessed!

 Chapter 131 Sister-in-law, what does it feel like to marry a fool?

    "Are all the ssmates here?" Ye Fan nced at Qi Jun and noticed the aura on his body, his brows furrowed involuntarily!


    Gu worm aura?


    Had Qi Jun allied with the people from the Gu Sect?


    For a long time before, Ye Fan had received news that the Ye Family''s adversaries had already contacted the Gu Sect''s experts, nning to secretly strike against him and his grandfather. Was it finally happening now?


    Once he understood what was really going on behind today''s ss reunion, everything instantly became clear in Ye Fan''s mind.


    The Miaojiang Gu Cult, those terrifying Poison Gus, killing without a trace... in the eyes of others, they were an utterly horrifying force. Once those Poison Gus entered one''s body, even an expert at the Martial Venerable Realm could have their brains devoured clean, but Ye Fan was not afraid!


    Because among the legacies of the Tianji Pavilion, there was a supreme treasure of the Gu Sect... the Myriad Gu Cauldron!


    That most sacred object of the Gu Sect, which was also the source of all Gu worms.


    All of the Gu Sect''s Poison Gus originated from the Myriad Gu Cauldron, which contained a golden Gu Emperor that couldmand all Poison Gus and Gu Masters, an authority even more potent than the Gu Sect leader himself.


    Once the Gu Emperor emerged, all Poison Gus would have to submit!


    Today, Ye Fan wanted to see who exactly was pulling the strings behind Qi Jun and the others.


    The Ye Family''s adversaries who had ced their undercover agents in Cloud City, this should be thest batch, right? After dealing with this, his grandfather should set off for the Capital, and Ye Fan should also continue his investigation into the truth in the Provincial City!


    "They''re all here, in the private room upstairs! Ye Fan, after so many years, I didn''t expect you''d be in such a serious car ident and turned into...sigh..." Qi Jun was a rich second generation after all. Although initially intimidated by Ye Fan''s demeanor, he swiftly regainedposure and, while leading Ye Fan towards the private room, probed tentatively.


    "I turned into a fool? Who says I''m a fool? I''m clearly not a fool at all!"


    p!


    As Ye Fan argued, he simultaneously raised his hand and pped Qi Jun across the face, "Wife Run and Yixue said whoever calls me a fool gets pped!"


    "Ah... I..." Qi Jun staggered from the p, almost crashing into the wall, verging on frustration, "Ye Fan, I was just concerned about you... you... motherf..."


    Qi Jun stopped mid-sentence, suddenly deting.


    Was he crazy, arguing with a fool?


    Today, Qi Jun''s main task was to bring Ye Fan here, and afterwards, people from Young Master Jin and Young Master Zhou would take action.


    If n A didn''t seed, they would execute another n, luring Ye Fan and Qing Run to another ce, where Ye Fan would be utterly doomed.


    Then, the mission given to him by Young Master Zhou would beplete.


    Hmph!


    Ye Fan, do not me me. Initially, I had no deep hatred towards you, but I couldn''t resist the considerable rewards promised by Young Master Zhou.


    An Elixir Pill that could advance one to the Control Realm, these were not things money could buy, and the authority of a special envoy for the Holy Envoy Organization controlling Tiannan Province!


    Supreme power, along with Elixir Pills that could enhance one''s strength, were enough to drive Qi Jun mad!


    "Young Master Ye, I was wrong! I deserve to be hit, I just misspoke, you''re not a fool... I am!"


    Qi Jun, worried that Ye Fan would not head into the private room and ruin today''s arrangements, could only coax him.


    While talking, Qi Jun even started hitting his own face.


    Watching Qi Jun''s antics, Ye Fan''s mouth curled into a cold smile.


    Hmph!


    Old ssmates have actually joined the ranks against the Ye Family, too, seeking trouble for themselves.


    As Qi Jun was escorting Ye Fan to the private room, he stealthily exchanged a look with a waiter as they brushed past each other.


    Those waiters were none other than Jin Yang''s subordinates and the Gu Sect''s experts in disguise.


    Leading the Gu Sect was their Third Elder Ling Yun.


    From the moment Ye Fan entered the door, Ling Yun had set his sights on him, quietly releasing seven Poison Gu, intending to infiltrate Ye Fan''s body.


    To Ling Yun''s shock, however unrelenting the Poison Gu he released was, as soon as they got within three meters of Ye Fan, they would all franticly scurry back as if encountering something terrifying.


    "Young Master Jin, there''s something odd about this Ye Fan!"


    After Ye Fan had gone upstairs, Ling Yun quickly darted to the control room on the side and reported to Jin Yang, "There seems to be something fearsome on him, preventing our Poison Gu from getting close!"


    In the control room, Jin Yang furrowed his brows tightly, watching the surveince on the wall, and took a few seconds to ponder before saying, "That weird, huh? Isn''t he just a fool, and even the Poison Gu can''t touch him? We''ve got trouble now!"


    Previously, Jin Yang had arranged a car ident to assassinate him, but halfway through, a formidable figure intervened, leaving Ye Fan unscathed, and Jin Yang was even targeted by a sniper, forced topensate a billion in emotional damages.


    So this time, Jin Yang hid directly in the room, hoping no one would target him again, right?


    But this Ye Fan, although he had be a fool, his martial skills were still so strong; now that even the Gu Sect''s people couldn''t do anything to him, how were they going to kill him?


    "Elder Ling, could there be something wrong with your Poison Gu?" Jin Yang''s brows were knitted tightly, Elder Zhang gave him such great authority this time, even allowing him to mobilize all the undercover forces in Tiannan Province, and Young Master Zhou came personally to supervise the battle. If they couldn''t show some results, it would be hard to exin to Elder Zhang and Young Master Zhou.


    "Impossible! It wasn''t just me who took action; our Young Master did too... Both of our Poison Gu cannot prate Ye Fan''s body!" Ling Yun''s expression grew graver, if direct invasion wouldn''t work, then they could only hope that Qi Jun and his team would tamper with the drinks.


    Jin Yang nodded, instructing a few subordinates disguised as waiters, "Later, work with Qi Jun to make sure Ye Fan and Qing Run drink the beverages they have prepared!"


    "Understood!"


    ...


    Inside the private room, when Ye Fan and Qing Run arrived, there were already about three tables seated.


    Seeing Ye Fan''s arrival, nearly everyone stood up, warmly weing him.


    "Young Master Ye is as handsome as ever!"


    "Sister-inw is so beautiful, congrattions to Young Master Ye!"


    Most of the ssmates harbored great goodwill, enthusiastically greeting Ye Fan and Qing Run.


    Qing Run, following close by Ye Fan''s side, started to feel a little embarrassed.


    But today''s ss reunion was essentially the trap Qi Jun hadid, the feast at Hongmen, so it definitely wouldn''t go smoothly.


    Seizing the moment when the conversation among the ssmates lulled, Wang Tao, Qi Jun''sckey, spoke up, "Sister-inw Run, I remember that before, Sister-inw Run was the wife of the Ye Family''s Liu Lang, right? Hehe, now having married Ye Fan as well, what does it feel like to serve two brothers at the same time? Why not share with everyone, Sister-inw Run?"


    Experience more tales on M-V-L


    Qing Run and Yu Linglong, along with the seven sisters-inw, had announced their marriage to Ye Fan at the funeral; this wasmon knowledge to everyone.


    Moreover, the main purpose of those seven sisters-inw in marrying Ye Fan was to protect the Ye Family, which was also clear to everyone.


    However, everyone tactfully refrained from bringing up the subject, yet Wang Tao had not hesitated to raise the most pointed question, openly challenging and provoking Ye Fan...


    Of course, this was also the mission given by Young Master Zhou to deliberately create conflict, to probe into what exactly the situation with Ye Fan was!

 Chapter 132 Scalded the Crotch!

    "Yeah! Sister-inw Run, satisfy our curiosity, will you? Is Ye Fan, a simpleton, able to sleep at night?" Qi Jun quickly chimed in from the side.


    However, having just been pped by Ye Fan, Qi Jun was somewhat wary and, while speaking, couldn''t help but retreat a couple of steps backwards.


    Whoa!


    The words of Wang Tao and Qi Jun instantly caused an uproar in the private room.


    "Wang Tao, Qi Jun, what are you two doing? Today is a ss reunion; why talk about such things?"


    "Exactly, everyone is aware of the Ye Family''s situation. We''re here to show concern for Ye Fan, don''t go too far!"


    Some of the ssmates, out of indignation, stood up to help Ye Fan out of this awkward situation.


    But Qi Jun and Wang Tao at this table, along with a few other young masters, scoffed and hit back, "What''s there not to talk about? Sister-inw Run is a heroine. On the day of the funeral, in front of so many people, she announced she would marry Ye Fan. It''s all been done, are we not even allowed to discuss it? Sister-inw Run, am I right?"


    "You...you''re going too far! Do you really not understand why we sisters made that decision at that time?" Qing Run''s expression turned icy as she red at everyone present, "Do you really think that you can trample over Ye Fan just because he was in a car ident? I am not someone you can bully easily!"


    Seeing the behavior and words of Qi Jun and Wang Tao, the expressions of Guo Li and Wang Fugui, who were by Ye Fan''s side, darkened.


    "Damn it, if you disrespect my big brother and sister-inw, I''ll kill you!" Wang Fugui had a vtile temper, and rolling up his sleeves, he was ready to fight.


    But Guo Li stopped Wang Fugui, "Old Wang, don''t rush! Although big brother is momentarily foolish, he has never been someone easy to provoke. Let''s see how big brother deals with this first!"


    The deterrence of Qing Run had no effect whatsoever.


    The Qing Family did indeed have significant influence in Great Xia, but that was in the Provincial City. In Cloud City, Qing Run, a weak woman, had no capable people at her disposal and could not intimidate Qi Jun and Wang Tao.


    Behind Wang Tao and Qi Jun were people like Young Master Zhou and Jin Yang providing support!


    For today''s operation, they had arranged hundreds of people in the vicinity, just waiting for Ye Fan to slip up.


    After a while of uproar at the scene, everyone''s gaze finally converged on Ye Fan.


    Everyone wanted to see how exactly Ye Fan would react!


    In a corner of the room, cameras covered the area at 360 degrees.


    In a courtyard in the Southern Suburbs of Cloud City, Zhou Ming was intently watching the full wall of surveince screens, eyeing Ye Fan''s actions from multiple angles.


    "Hmph! With such humiliation, if you''re not a fool, you surely cannot bear it and must strike back, right? The moment you make a move, I can determine your condition!" A dark gleam shed in Zhou Ming''s eyes.


    All ten core disciples of the Ye Family had been cleaned up, but thest remaining old man from the Ye Family and this fool, no matter how much effort they used, they somehow couldn''t be wiped out.


    This infuriated Zhou Ming!


    Inside the private room of the Cloud City Hotel, Ye Fan, who had the strength of a Martial Emperor Level, had noticed the twenty-three cameras in the room as soon as he entered.


    Ye Fan knew that those must be the people behind Qi Jun and Wang Tao keeping an eye on the ce.


    Since Qi Jun and Wang Tao openly insulted Qing Run, Ye Fan certainly wasn''t going to let them off easily.


    But how to make a move required careful consideration!


    Use Martial Arts Qi Force?


    No!


    Observing the boiling hotpot on the table, the corners of Ye Fan''s mouth curved into an attractive arc.


    "Wife Run, are they bullying you?" Ye Fan cocked his head, his face the picture of innocence, as he addressed Qing Run.


    Qing Run felt a warmth in her heart, "Hmm! But it doesn''t matter, as long as you..."


    Before Qing Run could finish speaking, Ye Fan had already stood up, "How does it not matter? Yixue''s wife once said, only I can bully you guys, no one else is allowed to bully you!"


    "You few bad guys, apologize to my wife Run!"


    As Ye Fan scolded them, he suddenly mmed his hands onto the table with force.


    tter!


    The bubbling hotpot on the table instantly jumped up, the boiling water sshed out, not missing a drop, all towards Qi Jun and Wang Tao, as well as several otherckeys'' faces.


    Between Qi Jun and Wang Tao was a ssmate who had just been speaking up for Ye Fan.


    Logically, the boiling hotpot base that was sttered out should have scalded that ssmate as well.


    But eerily, the sshing hotpot base, as if having eyes, forked just in front of that ssmate, barely dropping a few sshes on him and pouring the rest onto the faces of Wang Tao, Qi Jun, and the others.


    "Ah! Damn... my eyes..."


    "My god! Laotzu''s crotch!"


    "My neck, cough cough!"


    Qi Jun, Wang Tao, and four or five other ssmates didn''t react in time, and the spilled hotpot base greeted them fully.


    In an instant, blisters formed on their faces, and even the hair in their crotch was falling off, with the vague scent of roasted meat in the air, probably almost cooked!


    "Ye Fan... you, have you gone mad?" Qi Jun, who knew a bit of Martial Arts Qi, used the Qi Force in a critical moment to block most of the boiling water, only getting a big blister on his neck. He wiped his wound with a towel while furiously bellowing at Ye Fan.


    While cursing, Qi Jun and a few brothers dragged their chairs, intending toe at Ye Fan.


    "Hmm? Impudence, what are you trying to do? Want to start a fight?" Wang Fugui stepped forward, using his head to knock one of the guys beside Wang Tao flying back, "Don''t go too far, we should just have a nice gathering as ssmates!" Continue reading at M-V-L


    After scolding, Wang Fugui turned his head and gave Ye Fan a nk stare.


    Was this deliberate, or a coincidence?


    Did he just happen to punish them?


    Equally puzzled were Jin Yang in the surveince room and Zhou Ming in the courtyard in the Southern Suburbs.


    "Such a coincidence?" Zhou Ming''s gaze grew intense as he reyed the recorded footage several times, closely examining Ye Fan''s actions, trying to find any clues within.


    But no matter how carefully Zhou Ming searched, he ultimately found that although the oue was clear, with Qi Jun, Wang Tao, and others all being punished, and some brothers badly scalded, he could not find any ws in Ye Fan''s movements.


    Everything looked so natural, as if Ye Fan had identally knocked over the hotpot base, coincidentally scalding Qi Jun and the others.


    Could it be that he had guessed wrong?


    Was Ye Fan still in a dazed state, the Soul Capturing Technique broken by ident?


    In the private room!


    Because of the sudden turn of events, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat strange.


    With ssmates injured, Qi Jun and Wang Tao targeted Ye Fan so clearly right at the start that, in normal circumstances, the ss reunion would have to be called off!


    But after the waiter had nearly cleared the scene, Qi Jun managed to adjust his emotions once more, "Young Master Ye, Wang Tao and I spoke inappropriately just now; we shouldn''t have asked those questions about Sister-inw Run. Here, we''re all ssmates, let me toast to you and your wife as an apology, how about that?"


    As he spoke, Qi Jun and Wang Tao were already holding two sses of wine, walking over and raising their sses to Ye Fan and Qing Run!

 Chapter 133 Shooting Oneself in the Foot!

    "This..."


    Qing Run looked at the two cups of wine being offered, hesitating!


    The situation was now clear. Qi Jun and Wang Tao had no good intentions today, so these two cups of wine definitely had to be problematic.


    "Schr Guo, should we make our move now?" Wang Fugui anxiously asked from beside, even Wang Fugui knew the wine might be problematic, and naturally, Ye Fan did as well.


    Behind the surveince, Zhou Ming and Jin Yang were watching the screen with eager eyes.


    "Hmph! Ye Fan, as long as you drink this ss of wine today, the Ye Family will bepletely doomed!" Jin Yang said excitedly, almost wishing he could pour the wine down Ye Fan''s throat himself.


    The wine had been tampered with by several Poison Gu experts who had added numerous Poison Gu, the most formidable of which was called Three Corpses Brain Gu. Once Ye Fan drank the champagne, the Poison Gu would enter his body, take control of his head, his consciousness.


    Ye Fan was already dim-witted. If the Three Corpses Brain Gu took control, he would probably even obey without hesitation if asked to take a knife to his grandfather, right?


    If Old Master Ye were killed by his own foolish grandson, once the news got out, no one could me anyone else, could they?


    The death would be silent!


    "Qi Jun, I think Ye Fan is still not fully recovered. Maybe he shouldn''t drink?"


    There were ssmates on the scene dissuading Qi Jun, but they were somewhat wary of the Qi Family''s power and did not dare to speak too loudly.


    "Zhang Hua, what do you mean? If I offer Young Master Ye an apology and he doesn''t drink, how can I show my sincerity? This drink must be drunk!" Qi Jun chastised the male student who had spoken, and the threat in his eyes was very obvious, "Or do you want to drink it for him?"


    The corner of Ye Fan''s mouth lifted as he took the ss from Qi Jun''s hand and spoke indifferently, "Qi Jun, does this drink really have to be drunk? Grandfather said, as ssmates, we should help each other... Out of the kindness of our past, I forgive you. How about we just skip the drink?"


    Ye Fan was giving Qi Jun a chance!


    If Qi Jun did not continue to force Ye Fan to drink, Ye Fan might spare Qi Jun''s life.


    But at this moment, Qi Jun had already gone mad, fixated on the rewards he''d get after killing Ye Fan.


    Furthermore, controlling Ye Fan with a mere ss of wine andpletely destroying the Ye Family, Qi Jun did not need to use any other methods.


    Such power and status, easily within his grasp, how could Qi Jun possibly let it go?


    "Of course, it must be drunk! Young Master Ye, see, everyone is waiting. I won''t be at ease until you drink this ss," Qi Jun said with a smile, hooking his arm around Ye Fan''s neck.


    Seeing Qi Jun''s behavior, a trace of disappointment shed in Ye Fan''s eyes.


    This Qi Jun was determined to kill him.


    Since that''s the case, don''t me me for not being polite.


    I am no longer the fool I used to be!


    "Alright! Drink... Let''s drink!" Ye Fan took the ss from Qi Jun''s hand and gently swirled it a few times.


    Ye Fan''s action made Qi Jun''s heart skip a beat; he was nervous.


    This Ye Fan, he couldn''t have discovered something suspicious in the ss, could he?


    Jin Yang and Zhou Ming behind the surveince were also watching Ye Fan intently, closely observing every move he made.


    There were Poison Gu in the wine, and Zhou Ming and Jin Yang both knew it well. As long as Ye Fan drank it, even if he had the strength of the Martial Venerable Realm, what of it? Invaded by Poison Gu, throughout history, they had never heard of anyone withstanding the Poison Gu''s corrosion.


    If the Poison Gu hadn''t been so powerful, the Gu Sect wouldn''t have been able to wreak havoc across the entire Great Xia!


    In the private room, when Ye Fan picked up the ss, Qing Run''s heart leapt to her throat, "Xiao Fan... should you really drink this wine?" Qing Run was somewhat confused about what Ye Fan was actually intending.


    What Qing Run didn''t realize was that Ye Fan had sensed the presence of Gu Masters in the room and the problems with the three sses of wine as soon as he entered.


    When Ye Fan picked up the ss, due to the Myriad Gu Cauldron and the Gu Emperor within him, the Three Corpses Brain Gu lurking in the ss instinctively wanted to flee.


    It was only after Ye Fan uttered amand that the Poison Gu settled down.


    Ye Fan brought the wine ss to his nose and sniffed. Just as Qi Jun was about to speak, Ye Fan said, "My wine isn''t sweet! I just saw it, your wine ss had sugar added, I want to drink from your ss!"


    "Ah?"


    Qi Jun was baffled. Ye Fan wanted to drink from his ss?


    Enjoy new adventures at M-V-L


    Holy shit!


    When had sugar been put in his own ss? His ss was clean; nothing had been put in it.


    Wasn''t Ye Fan supposed to be an idiot? But now, he didn''t seem like an idiot at all, actually knowing to drink from his own ss. How then could the Poison Gu that had been prepared for Ye Fan be introduced into his body?


    "Young Master Ye, let''s just forget it, shall we?" Qi Jun opened his mouth, still wanting to argue, but Ye Fan''s next move made Qi Junpletely copse.


    "Let''s swap drinks!" As Ye Fan barked this, he raised his wine ss and poured it into Qi Jun''s mouth.


    Glug!


    Qi Jun didn''t react in time and swallowed a full mouthful, his pupils shockingly and violently dting.


    Holy shit!


    There was Poison Gu in Ye Fan''s ss, and now all that Poison Gu had entered his own body. What was he supposed to do now?


    The Gu Masters brought by Jin Yang had said that some of the Poison Gu they ced in the wine sses could be controlled, but some could not!


    For example, the Bloodthirsty Gu, once it entered a host''s body, would crazily begin devouring the host''s essence blood until the target waspletely drained.


    "Young Master Qi... Ye Fan, you..." Wang Tao, holding his wine ss to the side, involuntarily took a step back, showing some fear toward Ye Fan.


    Indeed, when an idiot goes crazy, theypletely throw the rule book out of the window!


    However, Wang Tao didn''t manage to get away. Ye Fan also took the wine ss from Qing Run''s hand and poured it into Wang Tao''s mouth, "I know, you definitely also added sugar to your ss! Hmph! You''re too stingy, not even adding sugar to our sses!"


    Glug!


    Without any suspense, Wang Tao also swallowed the entire ss of wine tainted with the Poison Gu.


    "Cheers! I forgive you!" Ye Fan picked up Qi Jun''s ss of wine, finished it in one gulp, and even clinked it against Qi Jun and Wang Tao''s sses!


    Clink!


    The crisp sound of sses clinking echoed in the private room, causing everyone''s hearts to tremble involuntarily.


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao were bothpletely frozen in ce, their bodies stiffened.


    "Cheers your grandpa!"


    "I curse your ancestors!"


    "We''re going to die, we''re going to die!"


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao exchanged nces, and it was impossible to hide the desperation in their eyes.


    "rgh!"


    Almost simultaneously, both of them quickly reached for their own throats, trying to induce vomiting and expel the wine they had just drunk.


    But it was toote, all the wine had gone down their throats, and as their actions intensified, they realized their noses were bleeding!


    This was a sign that the Bloodthirsty Gu had started to suck away their essence blood!


    With the Poison Gu entering their bodies, they were as good as dead...

    continue reading tomorrow, everyone!

 Chapter 134 Murder to Shock the Heart!

    ```


    Pfft!


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao staggered, took a couple of steps back, and plopped into their chairs with pale faces!


    Ye Fan gave a cold smile, his heart clear.


    At that moment, he was still using the Myriad Gu Cauldron to control the Poison Gu within their bodies, not letting it fully erupt.


    After all, with so many ssmates around, it would not be good to have a fatal incident right there.


    "Oh! Young Master Qi, Young Master Wang, what''s wrong with you? It''s just a cup of liquor; you''re intoxicated so quickly; your drinking capacity is really too poor!" Ye Fan taunted them intentionally, "Since you''re both drunk, shall we call it a day? I should be heading back too, or Yixue, my wife, will start to worry!"


    Ye Fan was employing a tactic of feigned retreat!


    He knew that there had to be others behind Qi Jun and Wang Tao, pulling the strings in the dark, and Ye Fan wanted to force those hidden figures to show themselves.


    Their n to kill with Poison Gu had failed, but they certainly would not let it go so easily.


    "No, no! Young Master Ye, I just felt a bit dizzy just now, I''ll be fine after a little rest!" Qi Jun forced a smile and stood up unsteadily, "Since we''re here, let''s have a good gathering today and help Young Master Ye recall the happy moments of our school days."


    "Yes, yes!" Wang Tao also stood up, wiping the blood from his nose, and echoed the sentiment.


    While speaking, they both gave a look to the nearby servers, signaling for them to find a way to contact Young Master Jin.


    Having drunk two cups of Poison Gu Liquor, they knew they were doomed, and their mindset had changed as well.


    If their own death was inevitable, then they must bring someone down with them; even in death, they were determined to have Ye Fan apany them today.


    "Really? Then let''s all not stand around, sit down and eat together! We can chat while eating!" Ye Fan called everyone to the table, looking every bit the host.


    Lastly, he did not forget to show concern for Qi Jun and Wang Tao, "Are you really all right? You both have nosebleeds, do you want to go see a doctor?"


    Snort!


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao both felt like swearing at their mothers!


    Was this intended to kill their spirit?


    Damn it!


    They had initially nned to slip away when they had the chance, to seek help from the Gu Masters to suppress the Poison Gu within their bodies, to at least extend their lives a bit longer.


    But now that Ye Fan had spoken this way, it would be embarrassing for them to leave.


    "It''s nothing, it''s nothing! Maybe the drink was just too strong!"


    "d to hear it!"


    As everyone sat down to eat, Qing Run beside Ye Fan looked at him with shining eyes.


    This husband, Xiao Fan, who says he''s a fool?


    Just now, when those two guys were cursing her, he gave Qing Run a chance to vent her anger with a pot of hot soup! And while drinking, in a state of feigned stupidity, Ye Fan used the most primitive methods to easily break through the situation.


    Given time, once Ye Fan fully awakens, with his talent, the Ye Family''s ascension is just a matter of time.


    ```


    The seven sisters had chosen Ye Fan: originally, their choice was simply to repay and shelter Ye Family.


    But now it seemed, could it be that she hadtched onto a golden thigh?


    What''s more, Ye Fan possessed that mysterious warm current that could enhance one''s strength!


    Qing Run had already decided, as long as there was a chance, she must be Ye Fan''s woman as soon as possible, and have a more intimate interaction with him. Perhaps that way, her own strength could also be elevated above the Grandmaster Realm?


    By then, she could stop being just a vase and actually contribute something to Ye Fan, right?


    At the doorway, Wang Fugui looked at Ye Fan and his ssmates chatting merrily with a puzzled face and whispered to Guo Li, "Schr Guo, tell me the truth, has Big Brother awakened? My mind can''t quite grasp it; howe I feel that familiar feelinging back?"


    "Big Brother, with just a couple of simple moves, you yed them brilliantly," he eximed with admiration.


    The corner of Guo Li''s mouth twitched, "Don''t think nonsense! Didn''t Mr. Lei say so? Big Brother''s brain wasn''t damaged. It just needs time to recover. Now he is slowly regaining his faculties, so such behavior is not strange..."


    Although Wang Fugui had noticed some irregrities, Guo Li still didn''t dare to reveal the truth to him.


    If Wang Fugui bbed and ruined Big Brother''s long-term n, that would be troublesome.


    In the private room, aside from Qi Jun and Wang Tao, who were scowling, the rest of the people were all smiles, and the atmosphere was harmonious.


    In the surveince room of Cloud City Hotel, Jin Yang paced back and forth with frustration as he watched the activities in the private room.


    "Idiots, a bunch of idiots! A group of people gotpletely fooled by a fool!" As Jin Yang chided, he turned to Ling Yun who had just entered and said, "Elder Ling, how did yourtest attempt go?"


    Ling Yun shook his head gravely, "Not good! While Ye Fan was drinking with Qi Jun and the others, I and several other masters from Gu Sect tried again, we tested almost every Poison Gu, but the result was the same, none of the Poison Gu dared to approach Ye Fan... There must be something on Ye Fan that the Poison Gu are extremely wary of, and it is very likely..."


    Ling Yun also suspected it was that long-lost item from Gu Sect!


    The sacred artifact of Gu Sect, the Myriad Gu Cauldron!


    The current leader of Gu Sect assumed the position without the Myriad Gu Cauldron, which didn''t bode well for their legitimacy.


    If the Myriad Gu Cauldron really was with Ye Fan, and he could get his hands on it, wouldn''t he be able tomand the entire Gu Sect?


    "What?" Jin Yang was no longer surprised by the many strange things about Ye Fan.


    After all, as the legitimate line heir of the Ye Family, even though he had be foolish, the protection around him and the treasures he possessed would certainly not be scant.


    "The sacred artifact of Gu Sect, the Myriad Gu Cauldron!"


    Jin Yang''s eyes lit up at Ling Yun''s words, "Are you talking about the treasure that canmand the entire Gu Sect?"


    Ling Yun nodded, "Exactly! Our three thousand Poison Gu can attack almost all living beings in the world, and there''s hardly anything that can resist all Poison Gu. But the Myriad Gu Cauldron is an exception. As the source of all Poison Gu, it also contains the ancestor of all Gu worms, the Gu Emperor, which can suppress all Gu worms!"


    "Once we get the Myriad Gu Cauldron, it''s as if we will control the entire Gu Sect! Young Master Jin, I must ask you to lend me your strength today. You know very well what it means to get the Myriad Gu Cauldron... there will definitely be benefits for you in the future!"


    Elder Ling Yun was quite ambitious, which Jin Yang probably knew.


    Within Gu Sect, due to the current leader not ascending to power through orthodox means, there was no united front, and everyone coveted the position of leader. Among them, Elder Ling Yun was an important force.


    "Fine!" A gleam of brilliance shot through Jin Yang''s eyes. If he could help Elder Ling Yun to the top, wouldn''t he be in Elder Zhang''s good graces?


    By then, I, Jin Yang, could also be a hegemon whomands respect!

 Chapter 135 Threaten Ye Fan With His Wife? Courting Death!

    Jin Yang became more and more excited as he thought about it, and scolded the person beside him, "How is it going with the brothers who made a move on Su Yixue?"


    "Reporting to Young Master Jin, we have hacked into Su Yixue''s phone as you ordered, blocked Ye Fan''s phone, and then used another phone to contact Su Yixue, telling her toe out and look for Ye Fan. We should be getting our hands on her soon!"


    "That''s good!"


    ...


    At the Su Corporation, Su Yixue was originally focusing on nning the manufacturing of a new drug, but suddenly received a strange text message.


    "Yixue darling,e save me!"


    The simple four words instantly twisted Su Yixue''s heart.


    The only person who would call her that was Ye Fan!


    But wasn''t Ye Fan out with Qing Run this morning to attend the jade agency rights investment meeting?


    With the Four Great Maids by Ye Fan''s side, how could he be in trouble?


    Su Yixue immediately tried calling Ye Fan''s number, only to find it was unreachable.


    Su Yixue tried calling Qing Run''s number again and still couldn''t get through!


    Su Yixue began to panic, and then tried calling Wang Fugui and Guo Li''s numbers, but the result was the same��all unreachable��yet when Su Yixue called her own father, the call went through!


    Had something really happened to Ye Fan?


    Just as Su Yixue was about to try calling Ye Changfeng, the strange number sent another text message, "Miss Su, don''t reveal any information! Come alone, and Ye Fan can still live. If any third party is informed, then you better be ready to deal with Ye Fan''s aftermath!"


    Attached to the text message was a photo of Ye Fan and Qing Run getting out of a car.


    The chaotic and seemingly real situation made Su Yixue panic.


    Had the Ye Family''s rivals finallye for revenge?


    Wasn''t Ye Fan very capable? How had he suddenly been kidnapped? Where had Wang Fugui, Guo Li, and Xia Hao gone?


    But at that moment, Su Yixue''s heart was full of worry for Ye Fan, and she couldn''t care less about anything else. In her haste, she replied to the message, "Where should I go to meet Ye Fan?"


    In her panic, Su Yixue didn''t stop to think��if the other party had really taken control of Ye Fan, they would probably have killed him by now, so why would they let her meet Ye Fan?


    And even if Su Yixue went, would they release Ye Fan just because of her?


    The Su Family was merely a vassal family of the Ye Family, posing no threat to those rivals.


    As the saying goes, concern causes chaos!


    Because Su Yixue cared too much about Ye Fan, she didn''t consider all these aspects.


    "The abandoned cement factory in the Western Suburbs, I''m giving you half an hour,e immediately!"


    Upon seeing the information in the message, Su Yixue hastily got up from her office and as she left, said to her secretary, "Xiao Tang, if I don''te back in two hours, call Elder Ye."


    "Tell Elder Ye what?" The secretary asked Su Yixue, puzzled.


    "I''ll send you the details in an emailter!"


    Su Yixue was notpletely foolish!


    However, what Su Yixue didn''t know was that today was a setup from the beginning!


    Jin Yang and others intended to use Su Yixue and Qing Run to coerce Ye Fan!


    As Su Yixue left thepany, in a Ferrari parked opposite the building, Xuan Yufei frowned as she watched the direction Su Yixue was heading and followed.


    "Hmph! I can''t even get through to Ye Fan on the phone. Yixue must be going to find Ye Fan, right? Sigh... If only I hadn''t called off the engagement back then, how great would that be!"


    Xuan Yufei drove while rapidly following Su Yixue''s trail.


    Xuan Yufei now regretted her actions so much that she wished she could p herself in the face!


    Yesterday, Xuan Yufei''s family had been attacked, and she nearly lost her life; Ye Fan suddenly appeared at the crucial moment.


    Although Ye Fan imed those assassins had been taken care of by Wang Fugui, Xuan Yufei had an intuition that those killers were definitely subdued by Ye Fan.


    Furthermore, when Xuan Yufei''s skin hade into contact with Ye Fan''s, she clearly felt a warm current from his body, which had allowed her strength to breakthrough to the control peak in just a short time.


    If she hadn''t broken off the engagement with Ye Fan and instead became his woman, she might have already reached Grandmaster strength by now, right?


    During this time, those who opposed the Ye Family all died mysteriously, and even the Xia Family in Provincial City and Elder Pang from the Nether Group took action to help Ye Fan.


    Xuan Yufei had never imagined Ye Fan would have such awork of powerful connections!


    With these connections, it was not going to be easy for the Ye Family''s rivals topletely destroy Ye Fan.


    Moreover, Lei Qianjue had said that Ye Fan was slowly awakening.


    Once Ye Fan fully awoke, the rise of the Ye Family was only a matter of time.


    Therefore, Xuan Yufei had to speed up and earn Ye Fan''s forgiveness. It would be best to build a close rtionship with Ye Fan before he fully regained consciousness. Otherwise, once Ye Fan woke up and understood everything, Xuan Yufei would have even less of a chance.


    ...


    Cloud City Hotel, in a private dining room!


    The meal had finallye to an end, and Qi Jun and Wang Tao were almost going insane!


    The Gu worms in their bodies were being suppressed by a Gu Master, but they were close to being drainedpletely.


    If the dinner didn''t end soon, they feared they would copse right at the dining table.


    "Young Master Ye, we had a great time at this ss reunion, we can''t just part ways like this, right? How about we move on to a second location?" Qi Jun and Wang Tao, enduring the severe pain in their bodies, invited Ye Fan with forced smiles.


    Jin Yang had already passed on information to them that the assassins from Dongying were in position, and the hostages that Jin Yang captured were also ready.


    As long as Ye Fan arrived there, with hostages in hand, Ye Fan would surely be at a disadvantage!


    The two of them, one on each side, hooked onto Ye Fan''s shoulders, fearing he would not agree.


    Qing Run also became worried, "Xiao Fan..."


    This was just a ss reunion, and it had already caused so many problems. If they went to another ce, who knew what would be waiting for them there.


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao clearly had no good intentions.


    If she had known they were so bad, Qing Run would have never agreed to attend the reunion.


    "Go... We must go, I''m having a st today! We must have a second round, I''ll drink alone with Young Master Qi!" Ye Fan pretended to be drunk, appearing very close to Qi Jun and Wang Tao.


    Ye Fan hade to the ss reunion precisely to dig out the mastermind behind them!


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao were already unable to fight back and were leading Ye Fan to the second venue, which must have been the mastermind''s intention. This was probably thest wave of power in Cloud City, and Ye Fan wouldn''t feel secure advancing into the Provincial City without cleaning them up first!


    "Young Master Ye is so generous! Let''s go, the car is already arranged for Young Master Ye!"


    As Qi Jun spoke, he signaled to Ye Fan, ready to leave.


    Qing Run became anxious and turned to Guo Li and Wang Fugui for help, "Young Master Guo, Young Master Wang, this..."


    Guo Li had already guessed Ye Fan''s intentions and nodded at Qing Run, saying, "Sister-inw, don''t worry, we''re here, nothing will happen!"

 Chapter 136 What Deep Sisterly Affection

    Qing Run nced at Guo Li and Wang Fugui, followed by the Four Great Maids��all of them had the strength of the Grandmaster Realm!


    With so many powerful figures by her side, Qi Jun and Wang Tao probably wouldn''t be able to harm Ye Fan, right?


    Moreover, Ye Fan''s own strength was not weak!


    After hesitating for a moment, Qing Run finally got into the vehicle arranged by Qi Jun with Ye Fan, while Guo Li and the Four Great Maids followed behind them!


    Seeing that Ye Fan wasn''t in the same car as him, Wang Fugui became a bit anxious, "Schr Guo, will there be any problems with big brother taking a separate car? Those two bastards from Qi Jun''s side definitely don''t have good intentions!"


    As Ye Fan''s strategist, Guo Li naturally had a very formidable perception. He could see everything that happened in the private room clearly.


    Qi Jun engineered a conflict on purpose and had tampered with the drinks. Ye Fan definitely knew about it, but he pretended to be foolish and easily defused the crisis. Now that Ye Fan had agreed to follow them to another ce, he must have had his own arrangements.


    "There won''t be any problems. Big brother must have everything figured out!" Guo Li quickly responded, almost giving away their ruse, "Just to be safe, I''m going to call in some Dead Soldiers from the Ye Family!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Li swiftly issued instructions to mobilize the Blood Guards left by Ye Fan''s mother to follow the convoy.


    ��


    While Qi Jun was making his move, Jin Yang and the Gu Sect Elder Ling Yun also began their operation, taking a shortcut by car and speeding toward the cement factory.


    "Report to Young Master Jin, Su Yixue has arrived at the location and our brothers have captured her!" Jin Yang received the report from his subordinates. "In addition, there is an unexpected surprise��Xuan Yufei, who previously broke off the engagement with the Ye Family, has alsoe along with them!"


    "Originally, we didn''t n on capturing that silly Xuan Yufei. But she asked us not to harm Su Yixue and toe after her instead, so we just conveniently took her too!"


    Xuan Yufei was here too?


    Jin Yang thought of that stunning beauty and his mouth twitched.


    Xuan Yufei and Ye Fan grew up together like childhood sweethearts. Even though the engagement was broken off, if Ye Fan were in his right mind, he would definitely have feelings for her.


    Wasn''t this just increasing his bargaining chips?


    With two of Ye Fan''s women in hand, was there still any worry about not being able to take down Ye Fan?


    "Good! Order them not to mess around and don''t harm a single hair on their heads until I arrive, got it? I''m saving them for a bigger purpose!" Jin Yang''s tone was grave. Xuan Yufei and Su Yixue were just chips to him, and unless it was absolutely necessary, Jin Yang did not intend to harm them.


    With Ye Fan and Ye Changfeng dead, the Ye Family would have no one to seek revenge for them. However, behind Su Yixue and Xuan Yufei were two powerful ns; any unnecessary trouble they caused could backfire on himter.


    "Understood!"


    In the vi in the Southern Suburbs of Cloud City, Zhou Ming focused on the images on the monitor, still in turmoil!


    "Young Master Zhou, we just got word from Young Master Jin. They have taken control of Su Yixue and Xuan Yufei, and they are now heading towards the cement factory. Shall we go along?"


    Zhou Ming examined the surveince footage closely, reying it frame by frame.


    But whether watching Ye Fan drink or watching him knock over the hotpot, none of the actions showed any signs that might indicate anything amiss��everything seemed truly the act of a fool.


    Yet the final oue of the reunion was that Ye Fan hadn''t been taken advantage of at all.


    "Something''s off! Very off�� There''s something wrong with this Ye Fan!" Zhou Ming frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Let''s go, but we stay a kilometer away and observe covertly. As soon as anything abnormal happens, we retreat immediately!"


    "Also, that Martial Lord from Dongying can start preparing to move!"


    The Dongying Martial Lord, who was originally arranged by Capital Elder Tang Zheng to carry out the operation, had now fallen since Sun Desheng had died, and Zhou Ming had arrived in Cloud City. Therefore, the Martial Lord was handed over to Zhou Ming tomand the mission.


    "Yes!"


    ...


    The cement factory in the Western Suburbs of Cloud City had been abandoned for many years, with many buildings copsed, and the za in front had be overgrown with weeds.


    But today, it began to bustle with activity.


    When Jin Yang and his men arrived, Su Yixue and Su Yixue had already been tied up.


    "Jin Yang, is that you? What do you want to do?" Su Yixue was shocked when she saw Jin Yang appear, her eyes filled with anger, "I didn''t expect you to be so despicable. I didn''t agree to be your girlfriend, and yet you resort to such lowly tactics!"


    "Let me tell you! I am already married, and even if I die, I will not let you seed!"


    Su Yixue''s chest heaved with anger, yet despite her fury, she remained beautiful.


    Xuan Yufei struggled violently beside her, "Bastards! Don''t touch Sister Su. If you have an issue,e at me. If you dare to touch a single hair on Sister Su, you''ll never hear the end of it from me!"


    "Miss Xuan, there''s no need for you to do this. If they are here for Ye Fan, it''s only right that I die for him! You already broke off your engagement with the Ye Family; you don''t need to muddy the waters for this!"


    "Sister Su, please don''t say that. I already regret it so much now. Breaking off the engagement wasn''t my own decision; it waspletely arranged by my second uncle behind the scenes. I don''t know what came over me at that time; it was as if I was possessed, I was in a daze. If I can save Sister Su today, that would be my exnation to Ye Fan."


    Xuan Yufei''s words were filled with sincere emotion, and upon hearing them, a touch of sentimentality shed in Su Yixue''s eyes!


    s!


    If one had known this would happen, why bother in the first ce?


    Smack! Smack! Smack!


    Jin Yang approached with pping hands, his face sinister as he looked at the two women, "What deep sisterly love! Hehe, it seems my charm is too irresistible, that you are both so eager to get into my bed, huh? Don''t worry, once Ye Fan is dealt with, I''ll definitely fulfill your desires!"


    "Su Yixue, I really don''t understand what you see. Wouldn''t it be good to be with me? Instead, you insist on marrying a fool. Can he give you the pleasure of being a woman?"


    Actually, Jin Yang wanted to touch Su Yixue, but his subordinates reported that Qi Jun and his men were almost there.


    Jin Yang didn''t dare to be careless, "Quick! Hang them up, from the first floor to the fifth floor! That''s nearly a twenty-meter height, if they fell from there, they''d surely die!"


    Watching Su Yixue and Xuan Yufei being hoisted up on either side of the building, Jin Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    "You two, let''s see who Ye Fan will choose to save when the timees, haha!"


    Today Jin Yang intended not only to kill Ye Fan but also to crush his spirit!


    On his way there, Zhou Ming watched Jin Yang''s deployment through surveince and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Hmph! They''ve captured Ye Fan''s women. The method is a bit despicable, but it''s effective!"


    If his women were abducted like this, Ye Fan, if he were sober, surely couldn''t remain indifferent, could he?


    "Later we''ll get closer, observe from a distance of 500 meters. Ye Fan probably can''t stir up much trouble this time, can he?" The Holy Envoy Organization had issued a death order from above, mandating Zhou Ming to deal with Ye Fan within a week!


    If he couldplete the task today, Zhou Ming would be under no pressure��

 Chapter 137 Playing Dumb, Catching a Big Fish!

    Ye Fan and Qing Run were sitting in the car with Qi Jun and Wang Tao, as the vehicle roared forward!


    The surroundings grew increasingly deste, Qing Run realized something was wrong, "Aren''t we going to the second singing venue? Where are you taking us?"


    Though unfamiliar with Cloud City, Qing Run knew they must have already left the city district.


    "Miss Qing, don''t worry, we''ll be there soon!" Qi Jun''s voice was weak, as the Poison Gu in his body caused his organs to feel like a mess of goo.


    But for the power and status promised by Young Master Zhou, he continued to forcefully persevere.


    "Xiao Fan, something''s not right... where are they taking us?" Qing Run turned to look back, "Xiao Fan, Wang Fugui and Old Guo who were following us are gone too!"


    "Stop the car, stop the car now!"


    A foreboding feeling rose in Qing Run''s heart!


    Indeed, the n of Qi Jun and Wang Tao was anything but well-intentioned.


    With Wang Fugui, Guo Li, and the Four Great Maids behind her, Qing Run felt somewhat at ease. But now, somehow, Qi Jun had managed to shake them off, and with her alone apanying Ye Fan, how could she protect him if something went wrong?


    Ye Fan sat beside her, a faint smile on his lips.


    On the road behind them, Guo Li and Wang Fugui were blocked by an overturned excavator, thus separating them from the vehicle up front.


    Of course, it was no coincidence; everything was orchestrated by Qi Jun and Jin Yang.


    Ye Fan simply yed along, having Guo Li and the Four Great Maids dyed, arrivingter.


    If those experts protecting Ye Fan weren''t separated, those hiding behind Qi Jun probably wouldn''t dare make a move so easily!


    "Miss Qing, don''t be anxious, we will arrive in one minute!"


    As Qi Jun spoke, he sprayed something in the car, and a fragrance filled the air.


    "What are you doing?" Qing Run demanded warily, but the next moment, her vision blurred, and she slumped into her seat.


    Ye Fan frowned, a drug to induce unconsciousness?


    Hmph!


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao really would stop at nothing to achieve their goals!


    "Eh! Why did Wife Run suddenly fall asleep?" Ye Fan feigned ignorance and asked Qi Jun.


    Seeing Qing Run finally quiet, Qi Jun and Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem, sister-inw might just be too tired! We''ll be there soon, and today, we''ll make sure you have lots of fun and happiness!"


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao exchanged a nce!


    After using so many schemes, they had finally shaken off Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and the Four Great Maids of the Ye Family, and drugged Qing Run.


    Now, only this fool remained, and he would be much easier to deal with!


    If it weren''t for the fear of Ye Fan''s Martial Arts Qi, Qi Jun and Wang Tao would have preferred to directly finish Ye Fan themselves.


    The car finally stopped outside a cement factory, and with a devilish expression, Qi Jun and Wang Tao said to Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, don''t get out of the car just yet, shall we y a game first?"


    "Sure! Sure! I love ying games!"


    A chilling light flickered in Ye Fan''s eyes. Just now, as they approached the area, Ye Fan''s Martial Emperor Level perception was released, and he had already sensed the situation here.


    There were even the breaths of Xuan Yufei and Su Yixue?


    And Jin Yang?


    Hmph!


    Was Jin Yang behind Qi Jun''s scheming?


    When he returned from the Medical Association, Jin Yang had attacked Ye Fan and was forced to pay ten billion inpensation, yet he hadn''t learned his lesson? He still wanted to make a move against him and even set his sights on Su Yixue and Xuan Yufei...


    Laying a finger on his women was something that would enrage Ye Fan!


    Courting death!


    However, when Ye Fan sensed Jin Yang''s presence, he also detected another mysterious fluctuation of Qi five hundred meters away from the scene!


    The fluctuation of that presence was very peculiar, bearing some simrity to the Divinity Fragment Ye Fan had obtained!


    Ye Fan''s mind raced with thoughts, and he quickly understood the connection.


    As the elder son of the Jin Family from the Provincial City, if it were just Jin Yang''s own power, he definitely wouldn''t dare to easily make a move against Ye Fan after being punishedst time.


    Qi Jun was backed by Jin Yang, and behind Jin Yang, there must be another big shot supporting him!


    Therefore, all the actions today, the real mastermind behind everything, must be that mysterious big shot hiding in the dark!


    Although Ye Fan did not directly see Zhou Ming, his powerful deductive reasoning had already guessed the truth of the matter.


    When Ye Fan became aware of Zhou Ming''s presence, Zhou Ming also sensed a faint perception, "Murano-san, did you feel a force of perception just now, probing our position and strength?"


    Zhou Ming frowned and asked the Dongying martial arts expert beside him.


    Zhou Ming had chosen to stay five hundred meters away for a reason.


    Based on his experience in the martial realm, five hundred meters was the range that a Martial Emperor could sense. Zhou Ming was very cautious, fearing that if Ye Fan''s strength was at the Martial Emperor level, he could escape!


    "No, Lord Zhou, are you perhaps mistaken? That fool, I sensed him just now, and indeed there are some fluctuations of martial breath on him, but at most, he''s just at the Grandmaster Realm, how could he possibly sense this far?" The Dongying expert, Murano Koji, confidently said.


    "Later, if Jin Yang manages to deal with Ye Fan that''s great, but if he can''t, I''ll take action. It will take at most three seconds to end the fight!"


    Zhou Ming was silent on the side, his brows tightly knitted!


    Today''s events were going too smoothly. Ye Fan had strategic thinkers like Guo Li and the Four Great Maids under hismand, and they were so easily cut off behind him?


    Just like that, Ye Fan was left alone to face Jin Yang''s methods?


    It was suspiciously smooth!


    In the square in front of the cement factory, after Qi Jun parked the vehicle, he signaled to a few approaching subordinates with his eyes. They immediately rushed over, grabbed Qing Run, and rapidly dragged her outside.


    "Where are you taking my wife Run?" Ye Fan coldly asked.


    Ye Fan had already seen it clearly just now. Jin Yang was on the third floor, and he had hung Xuan Yufei and Su Yixue at the height of the fifth floor!


    Now that they were taking Qing Run away, were they nning to use the three women to threaten him?


    Hmph!


    A sh of murderous intent passed over Ye Fan!


    Today, nobody here was going to leave this ce.


    Even if the three women were tied up at the height of the fifth floor, Ye Fan was not the least bit intimidated.


    Don''t forget, when Ye Fan absorbed the Undying Bone, he had awakened a teleportation trait!


    Such a short distance, Ye Fan could save all three girls in an instant!


    The other side had no chance to make a move!


    However, before he took action to save them, Ye Fan still had another matter to resolve.


    It was the big shot hiding in the shadows. Ye Fan couldn''t expose himself for the time being. Once he made a move, all those who saw the truth would have to be silenced...

 Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Who is the Fool After All?

    So, before Ye Fan could rescue the three girls, he first had to deal with that boss!


    At the same time, Ye Fan also wanted to see, just who was that person hiding behind the scenes?


    "We''re just ying a game, aren''t we? I hid your wife and now let''s see if you can find her the fastest," Qi Jun said, looking at Ye Fan''s foolish appearance with a sense of triumph finally surging in his heart.


    Hmph!


    You, Ye Fan, think you''re so great, but you''re just a fool.


    Damn it!


    Back in that private room, he made me drink that Poison Gu, and now I feel like I''m about to die.


    But even if I''m dying, I''m going to make sure you, Ye Fan, take the fall with me.


    "Oh, is that so? So you''ve hidden them well?" Ye Fan was ready to get out of the car but was stopped by Qi Jun.


    But actually, Ye Fan had already seen everything happening outside through the gaps in the sunshade.


    Qi Jun''s two henchmen had already tied up Qing Run and were also hanging her from the fifth floor.


    "It''s almost ready!" Qi Jun looked over at the movements there, and seeing Jin Yang signaling an ''ok'' from the third floor, he then said with a wicked smile, "It''s ready, Young Master Ye, please get out of the car!"


    As he spoke, Qi Jun and Wang Tao quickly stepped a few paces to the side.


    "Haha, didn''t expect that, did you? Ye Fan, we meet again so soon!" No sooner had Ye Fan stepped out of the car than Jin Yangughed wildly from the third floor, "Young Master Ye, how about it? Do you like the gift I''ve prepared for you?"


    At this moment, Su Yixue and Xuan Yufei, who were hanging from the fifth floor, had already seen Ye Fan.


    Su Yixue was greatly shocked in her heart, finally understanding Jin Yang''s intentions; Jin Yang wasn''t after her, but after Ye Fan.


    "Ye Fan, run! Get away from here, don''t worry about us��" Su Yixue yelled frantically at Ye Fan, "Hurry back and find Grandfather, they''re going to kill you!"


    Xuan Yufei also spoke up, "Brother Fan, run! On the way here, I already informed Lord Hu and exined the situation here, you need to run, they''lle to save you right away!"


    Qing Run, who had just been strung up, hadn''te around yet due to the effects of the drug.


    Watching the three girls hanging in the air, was all of this the doing of Jin Yang and the boss behind him?


    Hmph!


    Ye Fan sneered coldly in his heart, you''ve all messed with the wrong woman today, and you''re all going to die right here.


    "Ye Fan, dare to take one step and see what happens? If you take one step, I''ll immediately throw these three women down from the fifth floor!" Jin Yang sneered from the third floor, scolding Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan tilted his head down below, observing the situation above, "You... you''re ying a game? Why have you tied up my wife so high? I don''t want to y games with you anymore..."


    At this moment, Ye Fan looked utterly foolish, just like a simpleton.


    Jin Yang was at a loss for words, having kidnapped Ye Fan''s three women, but what if Ye Fan, the fool, just abandoned the three girls and ran off?


    If that happened, wouldn''t all the ns he''d arranged be in vain?


    "Yes! It''s just a game, and it''s a fun one at that, and there''s more toe!" Jin Yang said, while making a covert signal to his henchman at the side.


    Bang! Bang!


    The henchman next to Jin Yang quickly reacted, smashing dozens of beer bottles in front of Ye Fan, and shards of ss instantly scattered all over the ground.


    "See those pieces of ss in front of you? Now, if you crawl over here on your knees, I''ll give you a chance to choose, to let one of the three girls go!" Jin Yangughed loudly from above, finally releasing the frustration he''d been bottling up.


    Damn it!


    Isn''t the power behind Ye Fan very strong?


    Hmph!


    In this deste wilderness, all of Ye Fan''s rescue forces have been cut off, so who can save this fool now?


    "Xiao Fan, don''t kneel! Run!" Su Yixue cried out from below, berating him while regretting terribly in her heart. She knew that if her phone couldn''t get through, she should have thought one step ahead and tried using another phone.


    As a result, she ended up bing a bargaining chip to coerce Ye Fan, putting him in a dilemma.


    "Brother Fan! Our lives don''t matter, you must live on, avenge the Ye Family, avenge us! Run, just like the time we were chased by the bad guys, keep running..." Xuan Yufei, recalling the past beside him, couldn''t help but let her tears fall.


    Are she and Ye Fan destined to be star-crossed?


    Listening to Xuan Yufei''s words, Ye Fan also recalled the life-and-death experiences they had shared together.


    However, Ye Fan was curious: Su Yixue had been captured and brought here, so how was Xuan Yufei also captured?


    Hadn''t Xuan Yufei announced her withdrawal from her engagement with the Ye Family?


    "Kneel? Why should I kneel? There''s so much ss up there, if I knelt down, my knees would definitely bleed a lot, and I... am afraid of pain..." Ye Fan looked at Jin Yang indifferently, showing no hint of panic.


    The height of the fifth floor, nearly twenty meters, is quite high for an ordinary person.


    But for Ye Fan, it was a very manageable height.


    Even if Jin Yang let go of the three girls at the same time, Ye Fan was confident he could rescue them safely before they hit the ground.


    "Afraid of what? Only if you kneel do they have a chance at life, get it? Hmph! Ye Fan, stop pretending, now you either kneel or you''ll be made to kneel..." Qi Jun finally couldn''t hold back anymore, and as he berated, a hideous expression appeared on his face.


    Ye Fan nced at Qi Jun indifferently; this Qi Jun, he really didn''t care for the friendship of ssmates at all.


    If that was the case, then he would send him on his way.


    "Must I kneel? Then you give me a demonstration first. We are the best of ssmates, aren''t we?" As Ye Fan spoke, he stamped his foot on the ground, and the Qi Force of the Grandmaster Realm surged out. He reached out swiftly to grab the wrists of Qi Jun and Wang Tao and threw them toward the pile of broken ss like tossing sandbags.


    St! St!


    The instant the twonded, their chests, knees, and stomachs were almostpletely pierced by the shards of ss.


    "Ah! Ah! My chest!"


    "My crotch!"


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao immediately cried out in excruciating pain, screaming loudly.


    They were already close to death, and before dying, they had to endure such torture.


    "Ye Fan, have you gone mad?" The most frustrated was Wang Tao, who hadn''t said a word just now, so why was he thrown in as well?


    Qi Jun and Wang Tao, lying on a pile of ss shards, didn''t dare to move, and their blood flowed rapidly... Being weak already, they would likely bleed out and die very soon at this rate!


    Jin Yang, watching from the third floor, was so angry that he was jumping up and down, "Ye Fan, can''t you f*cking understand what I''m saying? Laotzu told you to crawl over there on your knees, it must be you crawling on your knees, not someone else!"


    "I won''t crawl, I definitely won''t crawl. Didn''t you see they barely crawled a bit and bled so much? Hmph... You think I''m a fool? Why don''t you crawl... right, I''ll pull you up here to crawl..."


    Looking at Ye Fan''s intense gaze fixed on him, Jin Yang couldn''t help but tremble all over.


    He had an illusion that Ye Fan seemed to have yed everyone!


    F*ck!


    In the end, who is the fool?

 Chapter 139 Kill the Gods if the Gods Block the Way!

    "It''s too horrible! So much blood, it''s too terrifying... Woo-hoo, I want to go home to my grandfather..."


    While Ye Fan was crying out, he suddenly swung his wrist and his body dashed towards the outside of the deserted factory, heading in the direction where Murano Koji and Zhou Ming were.


    "He''s running? Quickly... Stop him..."


    Jin Yang was on the verge of going crazy on the third floor with frustration!


    Today''s ns were all perfect, but Jin Yang had forgotten that Ye Fan was a fool, whose thinking did not align with that of a normal person.


    A normal person would definitely think of ways to save their spouse upon capture, but Ye Fan, this fool, got frightened by the sight of so much blood and ran off?


    Tied up on the fifth floor, Su Yixue and Xuan Yufei saw Ye Fan actually run off without caring for them, and a hint of disappointment shed in their eyes.


    Sigh!


    Hadn''t Divine Doctor Lei said that Ye Fan was about to awaken?


    And that there was usually an hour of awakening time every day, so why was Ye Fan acting like this now?


    Under Jin Yang''s orders, arge group of martial arts masters burst out from the side of the abandoned building, trying to stop Ye Fan.


    However, those martial arts masters generally only possessed the strength of Martial Arts Control and were at the Energy-Transforming Stage.


    "What do you think you''re doing? I''m telling you, if you block me, I''ll get very angry, move aside right now!" Ye Fan shouted at the group of assassins, and his figure then charged forward like a rampant bull.


    Boom!


    Bang bang!


    Ye Fan''s powerful Qi Force exploded, seemingly tearing a hole in the air.


    The assassins who tried to block Ye Fan were all sent flying in an instant, crashing heavily onto the ground, motionless.


    Ye Fan, seemingly "fleeing in blind panic," looked like a wild dragon rolling across the ground as he continued to rush towards the location of Zhou Ming and Murano Koji through the weeds.


    "Hmph! As expected of a fool, his wife is kidnapped, and he still thinks of running away!" Murano Koji sneered coldly as he watched Ye Fan rushing over, "Baka! This is perfect, walking right into the trap. Wait until you get here and I''ll end your life with one move!"


    However, Zhou Ming standing beside Murano Koji did not think the same way.


    The actions exhibited by Ye Fan, although they seemed foolish on the surface,


    Ultimately led to the most beneficial oues for him, whether it was dealing with Qi Jun and Wang Tao in the private room, or choosing to flee from the abandoned factory now.


    Moreover, when Jin Yang ordered Ye Fan to kneel, Ye Fan did not kneel himself but also made Qi Jun and Wang Tao suffer a setback.


    This was too abnormal!


    It was very possible that Ye Fan was feigning stupidity.


    "Murano-san, do you need my help?" Zhou Ming asked Murano Koji politely, but inside, he was already considering making a retreat.


    His intuition was telling him that if he stayed here any longer today, he might suffer a loss.


    "No need!" Murano Koji replied, then in the next moment, he couldn''t help but exim in surprise, "What the hell! So fast!"


    In just the moment that Murano and Zhou Ming were talking, Ye Fan had already moved from five hundred meters away to within a hundred meters.


    "Not good!"


    Zhou Ming''s heart skipped a beat. Although Ye Fan had just moved such a long distance in an instant without even taking three seconds,


    This was definitely not the strength of a Grandmaster Realm, not even that of the Martial Venerable Realm.


    Ye Fan was probably already at the level of Martial Emperor, this guy had been hiding his ability all along!


    Moreover, Ye Fan might not be a fool at all, it could all be an act!


    The elimination of Chu Feng, a legitimate line subordinate of Northwestern Elder Zhang, might have been carried out personally by Young Master Ye, not by a high-level Wandering Soul expert!


    Now, the ease with which Ye Fan was led here by Qi Jun and Jin Yang was not due to their cunning, but because Ye Fan was intentionally waiting here!


    His purpose was to wait for Zhou Ming himself!


    Without any hesitation, Zhou Ming''s body darted swiftly, nning to flee into the distance.


    But at this moment, Ye Fan, with another instance of Teleportation, was already in front of Zhou Ming.


    What Ye Fan had sensed in the car just now was Zhou Ming''s presence. The aura, very simr to that of a Divinity Shard, was emanating from Zhou Ming.


    The target Ye Fan intended to annihte was Zhou Ming!


    As for Murano Koji, although he had reached the Martial Venerable Realm as well, Ye Fan didn''t even consider him a threat.


    With the power at the Martial Emperor level, a flick of the finger was all it took topletely overpower the might of the Martial Venerable Realm.


    Boom!


    Without any hesitation, Ye Fan''s strike was a killing blow!


    "Yan Luo sh!"


    A ferocious wave of qi furiously chopped down, sweeping across with the intent to cut down Zhou Ming.


    Fast!


    The speed was too fast!


    So fast that Zhou Ming had no chance to dodge, although, boosted by a Special Power, he had reached the strength of the Martial Emperor level, he was clearly still weaker than Ye Fan.


    Even if Zhou Ming had managed to withstand this frenzied attack from Ye Fan, he would likely be severely injured.


    At the critical moment, Zhou Ming grabbed Murano, positioning him horizontally in front to shield himself, while rolling ungracefully onto the ground.


    Boom!


    An earth-shattering thunderous noise erupted as the powerful Qi Force of the Martial Emperor level struck Murano Koji. Despite his body being protected by Martial Arts Qi, his strength at the Martial Venerable Realm was no match at all against that of the Martial Emperor level and was instantly shattered.


    Murano Koji''s entire body exploded, and he didn''t even have the chance to let out a scream before being sent straight to the Western Paradise.


    Meanwhile, exploiting a fraction of a second gap in the chaos, Zhou Ming narrowly evaded Ye Fan''s lethal move, only being hit by the residual force, which didn''t cause much injury.


    His clothes were torn apart, his hair stood on end, and he looked utterly disheveled.


    As Murano Koji''s body exploded, a stench of blood filled the air.


    Zhou Ming had already stood up from the ground and was facing Ye Fan, eyeing him warily, "Well yed, Young Master Ye! So you''ve been feigning foolishness all along!"


    Ye Fan looked Zhou Ming up and down, "Are you the Zhou Ming from the Capital, a member of the Holy Envoy Organization?"


    Zhou Ming''s strength had barely reached the Martial Emperor level, but there was a peculiar Qi Force in him, very simr to a Divinity Fragment, which left Ye Fan uncertain whether he could kill Zhou Ming with a single blow.


    But having exposed himself to Zhou Ming today, Ye Fan had no intention of letting Zhou Ming leave alive.


    This was the first time Ye Fan hade face-to-face with a member of the Holy Envoy Organization, and it was an excellent opportunity to thoroughly understand them.


    "It seems Young Master Ye already knows quite a lot! Hmph! Had I known this would be the case, I should have not shown mercy five years ago and sent you directly to the Western Paradise as well!" Zhou Ming now deeply regretted his past leniency, thinking that if Ye Fan had be a fool, he could rest easy.


    As a result, this ''fool'' had now be the greatest trouble for the Ye Family!


    "Hmph!" Ye Fan snorted coldly, his Qi Force exploding as he rebuked, "Today, I shall start with you, using your blood to consecrate the Heroic Spirits that have fallen from my Ye Family! Meet your end!"

 Chapter 140 Is this master too cautious? Is killing someone like the end of the world?

    Ye Fan''s entire body Martial Arts Qi exploded, creating what seemed to be a vortex in the surrounding air!


    As a member of the Holy Envoy Organization, Zhou Ming, although he hadn''t engaged in directbat just now, Ye Fan also sensed something��that this Zhou Ming, was probably not easy to deal with.


    Therefore, Ye Fan went all out as he made his move!


    On Zhou Ming''s side, he had also probed Ye Fan''s strength in the moment when he used Murano to block Ye Fan''s attack.


    "Hehe! Ye Fan, although you have taken me by surprise, having reached the Martial Emperor Level in strength, do you really think such power is enough to kill me? Do you think it''s enough?"


    The Holy Envoy Organization had said that with Zhou Ming''s current strength, plus the trump cards given to him by the organization, it would take a fighter at the Martial Saint level topletely eradicate him.


    Boom!


    Martial Emperor Level Qi also began fluctuating in Zhou Ming''s body, equally forming a vortex of air that churned violently!


    Seen from a distance, it looked as if two tornadoes were gathering strength, ready to collide at any moment!


    Ye Fan''s expression grew serious, and without any superfluous words, he immediately activated his Teleportation Trait, moving around Zhou Ming like a ghostly apparition.


    "Yan Luo sh!"


    In just an instant, Ye Fan moved rapidly, forming an attack formation from eight different directions around Zhou Ming!


    Furthermore, those attacking battle sabers were not illusions, but real, tangible strikes. It was only because Ye Fan''s speed was so fast that there was no timeg created, and from Zhou Ming''s perspective, it seemed as if Ye Fan was simultaneously besieging him from eight different directions.


    "Damn it! Are you serious? Coming at me with all you''ve got right from the start?" Surrounded by the eight phantoms of Ye Fan, Zhou Ming could feel the intense Martial Arts Qi pressure all around him, and his face no longer bore any hint of ease.


    Strong!


    Too strong!


    The power of Ye Fan''s Yan Luo sh seemed as if it could be infinitely stacked.


    Originally, Ye Fan''s strength was just at the Martial Emperor Level, but the Yan Luo sh he disyed seemed to stack up to five or six levels in an instant, almost reaching thebat power of the Martial Saint Realm.


    Moreover, it wasn''t just one person who was making his move, but eight Ye Fans at the same time!


    How could Ye Fan''s speed possibly be that fast?


    Zhou Ming began to panic, instinctively looking for a w to escape.


    But Ye Fan had already calcted all his moves!


    "Heaven and Earth Cage!"


    Ye Fan uttered another shout, and waves of raging Qi shot out, forming a golden cage of light in the void that trapped Zhou Ming inside.


    The strong Qi Force Fluctuation turned the golden cage nearly substantial. And it wasn''t justposed of Martial Arts Qi, it also contained spiritual power. Zhou Ming only tried to probe and escape the cage, but as soon as he touched it, his soul felt as if it were scorched, causing him to shrink back in agony.


    The golden cage itself was immensely sturdy, and Zhou Ming''s Martial Arts Qi could not break it in a short time.


    Escape was temporarily impossible.


    Therefore, there was only one option left��fight!


    Zhou Ming managed a bitter smile, hastily stuffing a handful of Elixir Pills into his mouth. These Blood Qi Pills had been bestowed upon him by the Holy Envoy Organization, and they could forcibly stimte his bloodlines and enhance his realm in critical moments.


    Hmph!


    Don''t think you''re the only one with tricks up your sleeve; my methods won''t be inferior, either!


    In an instant, Zhou Ming''s own power surged by several levels, as if he were on the verge of breaking through the encirclement of the eight figures of Ye Fan.


    Zhou Ming didn''t hesitate at all, he swung the battle saber in his hand andunched an attack towards Ye Fan, attempting to break through Ye Fan''s killing formation!


    Boom! Boom!


    The colossal Qi Forces of Martial Arts from both parties collided, resulting in a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosive sound. It felt like even the air was being torn apart, emitting a series of mournful wails�� The powerful Qi Force flung sand and pebbles all around, turning day into night and blurring thendscape with flying debris!


    This piece of heaven and earth lost its luster due to the confrontation between two Martial Emperor level powerhouses.


    Zhou Ming barely managed to use all his strength to block Ye Fan''s Yan Luo sh, but Zhou Ming''s clothes were once again shed by the de''s edge, reduced to tatters, and several cuts appeared on his body. Even the battle saber in his hand had already broken, leaving him in an utterly sorry state!


    Inside, Zhou Ming was severely shaken, and his pupils dted with shock.


    What top-grade technique was Ye Fan using for this Yan Luo sh? Without resorting to any life-depleting cultivation techniques, he could still wield such immense power with the battle saber?


    After consuming so many elixir pills, I was nearly unable to resist it?


    "Hmph! I thought you were so formidable, but now it seems you''re nothing special!" Despite his internal shock, Zhou Ming was not willing to admit defeat, "Don''t worry, I will soon send you to reunite with your brothers... Damn it, here ites again..."


    Zhou Ming couldn''t even finish his sentence before he saw Ye Fan gathering several enormous Qi Bubbles in his hand, hurling them towards him!


    Boom!


    From the outside, those Qi Bubbles looked beautiful, but the instant they touched Zhou Ming, they exploded directly, their destructive power was also at the Martial Emperor Peak level.


    Boom! Boom!


    Ye Fan, like an endless source, kept "blowing bubbles". In less than ten seconds, Zhou Ming was sted until he was deted!


    One of his arms had broken, his back was yed open with flesh bursting, and even an eyeball had fallen out...


    By this point, Zhou Ming had lost his ability to fight, trapped in the Heaven and Earth Cage, he was gasping for air with huge breaths.


    "Damn it, are you crazy? It''s just killing a person, why does it feel like you''re trying to annihte the world... Damn it..." In his heart, Zhou Ming still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that Ye Fan would stop there.


    If it were just that, with the special cultivation methods taught by the Holy Envoy Organization, Zhou Ming could still escape.


    But then Ye Fan''s next wave of attacks came!


    This time, Ye Fan used the Inheritance from the depths of his dantian! Vague mes danced on Ye Fan''s palm and in the next moment, he hurled it towards Zhou Ming who was wrapped within the cage, burning him directly...


    Ye Fan had already verified in the past that the mysterious Inheritance fire in the depths of his dantian could burn everything, even souls.


    Hisss! Hisss!


    In just a moment, the Inheritance fire broke through Zhou Ming''s Protective Gang Qi and set his body aze!


    Poof! Poof!


    In an instant, Zhou Ming''s body was reduced to ashes scattered by the wind, and his Vitality Force also vanished.


    However, Ye Fan noticed that in the moment Zhou Ming''s body was incinerated, a white sh appeared and vanished instantly!


    Ye Fan furrowed his brows, releasing his Perception to scan the area. Within a radius of five hundred meters, he couldn''t detect any signs of Zhou Ming.


    "He''s dead just like that? Wasn''t he a bit too fragile?" Ye Fan mumbled to himself as he checked therge crater around him, confirming Zhou Ming had indeed perishedpletely.


    Meanwhile, a kilometer away, a white silhouette leaned against a wall, its figure vaguely resembling Zhou Ming.


    Hearing Ye Fan''s words, Zhou Ming almost spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, "Damn it! Don''t you know you''re a high-level Martial Emperor? With all the explosions and burning, who could withstand that?"


    I pop pills and you still kill me!

 Chapter 141 Kids Make Choices, Adults Want It All!

    Zhou Ming''s current state was quite miraculous, he could be considered human because he still bore a human appearance!


    But at the same time, he didn''t seem human because his body was somewhat ethereal and unstable!


    This was precisely the result of the mysterious secret technique from the Holy Envoy Organization, which allowed Zhou Ming to exist in such a state even after being sted to smithereens.


    "Damn! Ye Fan is so powerful, no good, I must immediately share and report Ye Fan''s information..." Zhou Ming muttered to himself as he hurriedly searched for his phone, just about to make a call when he suddenly froze, "Eh! What was I doing with my phone? It seems I was about to do something very important, but what was it? How could I forget?"


    Zhou Ming was utterly baffled, "Wait! I came from the Capital to Cloud City to deal with Ye Fan, but my subordinates failed... Then I came to Cloud City, and then... I ended up like this? What exactly happened in between?"


    Zhou Ming was very annoyed as he paced around in circles trying to think, but he couldn''t recall anything.


    It was as if he had Parkinson''s disease, he couldn''t remember anything!


    His memory from the moment he arrived in Cloud City until the end of the battle just now seemed to have been wiped clean?


    "Forget it, my body is unstable right now, I need to solve this problem first!" Zhou Ming muttered to himself and then dialed an encrypted number, "Your Highness the Holy Envoy, I''ve encountered a big problem here, I can''t remember what happened, but my body is destroyed, I seek your assistance..."


    At the abandoned cement factory, Jin Yang and his subordinates had meticulously nned today''s operation with the goal of capturing Ye Fan.


    As a result, when Ye Fan saw the pile of ss debris, he was actually scared off. With so many people trying to stop Ye Fan, none could hold him back!


    Shortly after, Jin Yang and his men also witnessed two "tornadoes" shing not far away, but in just a moment, peace returned.


    "Damn! What the hell happened, did the Dongying expert make a move? Has Ye Fan been captured?" Jin Yang had no idea that Zhou Ming had also arrived at the scene.


    Jin Yang tried to contact Zhou Ming several times, but although Zhou Ming''s phone connected, he never spoke.


    What was going on?


    Now, the strongest experts on Jin Yang''s side were only Gu Sect''s Elder Ling Yun and several Grandmasters that Elder Zhang had hidden in Cloud City.


    If all of Ye Fan''s reinforcements arrived, would they be able to handle Ye Fan?


    If today''s operation failed, the Ye Family''s retaliation would certainly hit Jin Yang first and foremost.


    Jin Yang nced at the three girls hanging above, which were his biggest bargaining chips.


    Damn it!


    He hoped that Ye Fan was in a clear-headed state, at least if Ye Fan was lucid, he wouldn''t ignore his wife''s life or death!


    "Yixue wife, I''m back!" As Jin Yang was thinking about what to do next, Ye Fan''s voice suddenly rang out from outside the factory, his body shed, quickly appearing outside the factory.


    Su Yixue, who was hanging there, felt somewhat disheartened.


    But seeing Ye Fan suddenly reappear, the sensation of regaining what was lost made Su Yixue so excited she was about to cry.


    "Husband!" Although shy, Su Yixue called out in front of so many people for the first time, "You fool, why did youe back?"


    Xuan Yufei, standing to the side, trembled inwardly when she saw the look in Ye Fan''s eyes as he nced at her.


    Did Ye Fan still care about me after all?


    On the other side, Qing Run had also awoken and, seeing the situation, said with self-reproach and anxiety, "Sister Yixue, I''m sorry! I failed to take care of Ye Fan, I shouldn''t have agreed toe here..."


    "No! Wife Run, you have nothing to apologize for," Ye Fan said, a somber glint appearing in his eyes. "Even if they don''t kill me today, they would find another way to kill me tomorrow. Since they''vee today, I might as well deal with them all at once and end this once and for all!"


    Today, everyone present must die!


    Huh?


    Ye Fan''s words and demeanor stunned Su Yixue, Xuan Yufei, and Qing Run.


    Had Ye Fane to his senses?


    ording to Lei Qianjue, Ye Fan had about an hour of lucidity each day. Could it be that during this critical moment, Ye Fan had awoken?


    Jin Yang noticed the change in Ye Fan''s condition as well and smirked sinisterly, "Ye Fan, it seems you''re fully lucid now! Ha-ha, the game can finally begin properly... Now, I''ll give you a chance. Choose one out of the three women to live!"


    "Only children make choices! Adults, of course, want them all!" Ye Fan said calmly, his gaze soft as he looked at the three women above him.


    Ye Fan''s words made Xuan Yufei''s heart skip a beat. Adults want them all?


    What did Ye Fan mean, did he want her as well?


    Had he... once again acknowledged her?


    Ye Fan paused in his speech and then continued to address Jin Yang, "Jin Yang, now I give you a chance. Bring those three down immediately, kneel and beg for mercy, and I might agree to only take your life while sparing your family!"


    "Ha-ha-ha!" Jin Yang burst into raucousughter. "Ye Fan, do you think you have the leverage to negotiate with me now? Don''t forget, all three of your women are in my hands, and so far, none of your reinforcements have shown up. Do you really think you can leave here alone?"


    The brothers on the outside, tasked with keeping watch, reported that Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and others were still several kilometers away, hindered from reaching the site.


    With only Ye Fan on site, even if his strength reached Grandmaster or even the Martial Venerable Realm, so what?


    With so many experts arranged by Elder Zhang at his disposal and three women as hostages, could Jin Yang not capture Ye Fan?


    "Crossbowmen, lock on!" With a wave of his hand, Jin Yang ordered dozens of enhanced steel crossbows on the third and fourth-floor balconies to target Ye Fan.


    The power of these modified steel crossbows was even greater than sniper rifle bullets.


    Martial Arts Experts below the level of Grandmaster could be killed instantly, and even experts in the Martial Venerable Realm had to be wary of them.


    "You have ten seconds to kneel on this ss debris. Make your choice! Otherwise, all three women will join you in death, such a pity!" Jin Yang taunted from above while turning to Elder Ling Yun, "Elder Ling Yun, don''t forget that if we take down Ye Fan today and get the Myriad Gu Cauldron, you must give Jin Family a hand in return!"


    Touching his mustache, Elder Ling Yun smiled slightly, "Young Master Jin can rest assured. Elder Ling is a man who repays his debts; I certainly won''t forget the assistance you''re providing today!"


    At that moment, near the pile of ss debris in front of the cement factory, although Qi Jun and Wang Tao had been rescued, their Vitality Force was nearly dissipated, lying on the ground like dead dogs. Yet, they still kept their eyes open, clinging to theirst breath, eager to see Ye Fan subdued.


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, walked up to Qi Jun and Wang Tao, squatted down, and said, "After all, we were ssmates. Have you really forsaken any sentiment of camaraderie? You''re right, everything in the private room was an act on my part, and I gave you a chance. But you kept trying to kill me, so you''ll have to drink the Poison Gu Liquor in my stead!"


    "Everyone who hasid a hand on my Ye Family must die!" A piercing sharpness shed in Ye Fan''s eyes, chilling Qi Jun and Wang Tao to their souls.


    Pfft!


    With a look of shock and unwillingness in their eyes, Qi Jun and Wang Tao''s pupils dted, they spat mouthfuls of fresh blood, their heads tilted, and they breathed theirst...


    Ye Fan stood up and looked towards Jin Yang on the third floor. Next, it was his turn...

 Chapter 142 Dont doubt your husband! I am very strong!

    ```


    "Ye Fan talked Qi Jun and Wang Tao to death?"


    Jin Yang probably knew about the condition of Qi Jun and Wang Tao, as they had been infested with Poison Gu. Although their bodies were extremely weak, Elder Ling Yun had said that there was still some time before their deaths.


    But Ye Fan clearly did nothing; he just squatted down and said a few words to them, and then those two pieces of trash just died?


    What kind of magic power is this?


    The three girls hanging from the rooftop saw Ye Fan stand up, and Su Yixue was the first to speak, "Xiao Fan, choose Princess Yu! She wasn''t supposed to be captured today, it was to save me that she was caught by Jin Yang and the others. You are former lovers, and she still can''t forget you��"


    Huh?


    Xuan Yufei wasn''t captured by Jin Yang and his men but rushed up for Su Yixue?


    This surprised Ye Fan somewhat!


    Had this Xuan Yufei finallye to her senses?


    But at that time, why did she act as if she was possessed and break off the engagement with the Ye Family in front of so many people at the funeral?


    Ye Fan''s first thought was of that mysterious Soul Capturing Demonic Technique. Could it be that Xuan Yufei was really under the control of the Soul Capturing Technique at that time? Was the disengagement not her true intention?


    "Brother Fan, choose Sister Yixue! She has been with you for such a long time, maybe you''ve already got bone and flesh of your own!" Xuan Yufei also quickly spoke up to remind Ye Fan.


    "Right! Xiao Fan, my husband, hurry and save Yixue, we must continue the Ye Family''s bloodline!" Qing Run added on the side, supporting Xuan Yufei''s decision, "Xiao Fan, my husband, don''t worry, we won''t me you! If we have fate in the next life, we will still marry you as wives!"


    A glint of regret shed in Qing Run''s eyes. Having been with Ye Fan for these few days, Qing Run had already developed feelings for him and had nned on giving herself to him.


    And yet, such an event urred today.


    Listening to the words of the three women, Ye Fan was speechless.


    What is all this? Are they all so eager to die?


    As Ye Fan''s women, how could I bear to let you die?


    Jin Yang on the third floor was made dizzy by Qing Run and Su Yixue''s back-and-forth, "So annoying! Shut up! If you keep yapping, I will throw you all down!"


    "Ye Fan, you have three seconds, are you choosing or not? If you don''t choose, I will make my move�� 3��"


    Jin Yang was getting impatient and started to count down from above!


    But as soon as the "3" left his lips, Ye Fan on the ground floor suddenly turned into a phantom and disappeared from where he was standing.


    Ye Fan disappeared?


    A foreboding feeling surfaced in Jin Yang''s heart, "Quick, protect me!" He barked at his bodyguards, and the guards quickly formed a circle around him, protecting him in the center.


    Ye Fan''s strength was at least above the Grandmaster Realm, which Jin Yang knew. His own Control Realm strength was no match for Ye Fan.


    While he barked the orders, Jin Yang kept retreating.


    Shoo Shoo Shoo!


    An ear-piercing sound of something tearing through the air came from outside the deserted factory, as objects moved rapidly through the air.


    Su Yixue''s hands were bound in the air, her arms were numb, but suddenly she felt her waist embraced, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself inside the third floor of the factory.


    The same feeling was shared by Qing Run and Xuan Yufei!


    ```


    Before they could react to what was happening, they were already saved by Ye Fan from high above and safely appeared inside the third-floor factory building.


    Feeling the solid floor under their feet, Su Yixue looked astonished and hardly dared to believe the situation before her was real, "Husband, this..."


    "Ye Fan my husband?"


    Qing Run and Su Yixue both stamped their feet on the floor to make sure it was real before they shockingly turned to address Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan gave a wicked smile and patted both Qing Run and Su Yixue on their bottoms, "What, doubting your husband''s abilities? I''ve said before, I''m very strong... Yixue my wife, don''t you know that?"


    At Ye Fan''s words, Su Yixue''s face couldn''t help but blush.


    This damn rascal!


    Hmph!


    When they were making love the night before, there definitely were moments she was conscious, and it was embarrassingly sweet!


    "Thank you, Brother Fan," Xuan Yufei said softly, standing to the side, somewhat at a loss.


    Before, she was Ye Fan''s most intimate lover, and it should have been her yfully teasing with Ye Fan. Now, because she broke off their engagement, she had deeply hurt Ye Fan. Although Xuan Yufei felt that her rtionship with Ye Fan was gradually improving, there was still an unspoken barrier between them.


    "Motherf*cker!"


    Jin Yang and his subordinates had already retreated to a corner. Seeing Ye Fan effortlessly save the three women in an instant, they couldn''t believe their own eyes.


    Jin Yang rubbed his eyes and took a careful look again before he could confirm that Ye Fan indeed saved the three women.


    "A bunch of useless f*cks, did you all f*cking grow up eating shit?" Jin Yang furiously cursed at the crossbowmen outside.


    Weren''t they supposed to be aiming at Ye Fan all the time? How did Ye Fan rescue everyone before they even made a move?


    But after cursing, Jin Yang knew it was no use berating them!


    After all, even Elder Ling Yun and the other grandmasters surrounding Jin Yang hadn''t noticed how Ye Fan made his move, so how could those crossbowmen possibly keep up with Ye Fan''s speed?


    "Elder Ling, it''s all up to you, now... get to it quickly!" Jin Yang''s voice trembled.


    With Su Yixue, Qing Run, and Xuan Yufei all rescued by Ye Fan, Jin Yang had lost his most important bargaining chips, and Ye Fan''s next actions were bound to be unrestrained.


    "Young Master Zhou, where''s that Dongying expert? Hurry and get him toe help..." While Jin Yang was berating Elder Ling, he was also frantically dialing Zhou Ming''s number.


    But to Jin Yang''s frustration, the factory building, which had had excellent signal just moments ago, now seemed to be cut off from the outside world, with all calls unable to go through.


    Of course, what Jin Yang didn''t even know was that Murano Koji, the Dongying powerhouse of Martial Venerable Realm, did not even have the chance to make a move before he was utterly crushed.


    After greeting Su Yixue and Qing Run, Ye Fan turned his head to face Elder Ling Yun and the other grandmasters at the front, "All of youe at me together! It''ll save time, since you''re all going to die today, anyway!"


    The final word, "die," carried an endless chill that surged out, making Elder Ling Yun and the other grandmasters shiver involuntarily.


    It was evident that Ye Fan''s strength far surpassed theirs, at the very least, he was in the Martial Venerable Realm.


    Dammit!


    The intelligence was entirely misleading, iming Ye Fan was at most at the Grandmaster Peak... I''ll curse his ancestors, what a f*cking Grandmaster Peak, Ye Fan''s strength as demonstrated now is at least at the Martial Venerable Peak...


    "Ye Fan, don''t you get cocky! I am the Third Elder of the Gu Sect, once I release all my poison Gu, your death will be upon you! Kneel down and beg for mercy!" Elder Ling Yun, bracing himself, released all his poison Gu, including his Lifebound Poisonous Gu, prepared to fight Ye Fan to the death...

 Chapter 143 Mutual Destruction? You Wish!

    But what Ling Yun didn''t know was that his strongest force couldn''t even reach Ye Fan''s lower limit!


    What he considered the ceiling was actually not even as good as Ye Fan''s floor!


    "The Gu Sect vited the ban, leaving the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Miaojiang without permission; anyone who does so deserves death... Have you forgotten?" Ye Fan spoke calmly, flipping his wrist, and a small ck cauldron appeared in the palm of his hand.


    As Ye Fan activated themand, a golden beetle crawled out of the small ck cauldron.


    "Myriad Gu Cauldron! Gu Emperor... It really is the Myriad Gu Cauldron, and it''s actually in the hands of an idiot like you!" Seeing what was in Ye Fan''s hand, Ling Yun was so agitated that his words came out all jumbled.


    The wonders of the Myriad Gu Cauldron weren''t simply limited to controlling the poisonous Gu and Gu Masters of Miaojiang; there were many other uses that many people didn''t know about.


    The Myriad Gu Cauldron was an artifact that every martial arts expert in Great Xia wanted to obtain!


    When Ling Yun saw the Myriad Gu Cauldron in Ye Fan''s hand, his eyes shone brightly.


    "That''s right! It''s the Myriad Gu Cauldron... But although you have the fortune to see it, do you have the life to take it? I''ll give it to you, can you take it away?" Ye Fanughed coldly, hismand once again activating.


    On his palm, the Gu Emperor pped its wings, making a hissing sound.


    The next moment, the poisonous Gu that had just emerged from Ling Yun''s arm seemed to receive some kind ofmand and began to burrow crazily into Ling Yun''s body.


    They started biting frenziedly at Ling Yun''s skin and internal organs!


    "Ah... What are you doing? What''s happening? Have they all gone mad..." In a panic, Ling Yun hurriedly tried to activate themand to stop the poisonous Gu from attacking himself, only to suddenly discover that all of the poisonous Gu were no longer under his control.


    Even the lifebound Poisonous Gu had gonepletely mad, burrowing into Ling Yun''s heart and in the blink of an eye tearing Ling Yun''s heart to shreds!


    The Gu Emperor could control all the poisonous Gu in the world; the suppression and authority in its bloodline were not to be underestimated!


    "Ugh!"


    Soon, Ling Yun''s body uncontrobly fell to the ground; blood began to flow from his mouth, eyes, and nose, and his body convulsed violently. From the skin of his body, Gu worms continued to burrow out, pping their wings towards the Gu Emperor in Ye Fan''s direction, as if trying to please and im credit.


    The Gu worms he had raised ultimately killed their host!


    Ling Yun died without even closing his eyes!


    Gu Technique had always been Ling Yun''s most proud trump card and method, but before he could make a move, he was easily crushed by Ye Fan and died at the hands of his own poisonous Gu!


    Next to Ling Yun were the Four Great Masters arranged by Elder Zhang, originally nning to work together with Gu Sect''s Ling Yun. But now Ling Yun had fallen before making a move.


    The Four Grandmasters were all quite frightened, turning their gazes towards Jin Yang.


    After all, Jin Yang was the overallmander of this operation!


    Drip-drop! Drip-drop!


    Surrounded by several bodyguards, Jin Yang''s crotch was already soaking wet!


    Under such circumstances, Jin Yang had been scared out of his wits.


    Ye Fan had easily rescued the three women, and Jin Yang still harbored a hope that Ling Yun and several grandmasters, with their Gu Techniques, could intercept Ye Fan. If the Martial Venerable from Dongying were to arrive, the odds of sess would be even greater.


    But up to now, the strong man from Dongying hadn''t shown any intention of moving. Recalling the two "tornadoes" he had seen earlier, Jin Yang seemed to understand something.


    Could it be that Ye Fan had taken the initiative and already in that Martial Lord?


    If even a Martial Lord was no match for Ye Fan, then his ownckeys were naturally even less of a match for Ye Fan.


    Thump!


    Upon this thought, Jin Yang hesitated no more and immediately knelt before Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, spare my life... I was wrong... I let the devil cloud my mind, I kidnapped Su Yixue. I''ll never dare again. I beg Young Master Ye to spare my life, and I will serve you like an ox or a horse in the future, to repay your kindness..."


    With exaggerated movements, Jin Yang knelt on the ground and kept knocking his head towards Ye Fan.


    The other grandmasters of Elder Zhang''s group, seeing Jin Yang''s actions, instantly came to the same realization!


    Thump! Thump!


    In the blink of an eye, on the third floor, Jin Yang and all the assassins and bodyguards he brought with him all knelt down towards Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, please spare us!"


    Almost in unison, they pleaded, creating a sight with quite an impact.


    Ye Fan sneered, "Young Master Jin, if you had known this would happen, why bother in the first ce?"


    "I warned you when we were vying for the quota! Afterward, you nned an assassination, which I ignored... You still showed no remorse and wanted to continue making a move?" Ye Fan took a step forward, looking down on Jin Yang from a superior position, "If someone is so bent on killing you, would you let them go?"


    Since Ye Fan had decided to reveal himself in front of all these people, he had no intention of leaving any survivors.


    In front of Ye Fan, these people were already dead men!


    "Ye Fan... so you had already woken up, you''ve been fooling us all along, ying every single one of us?" Jin Yang looked at Ye Fan with a face full of terror. If that was the case, then Ye Fan''s cunning and tactics were terrifying!


    "That''s right! I did y all of you, and now, who is the fool?" Ye Fan fixed his burning gaze on Jin Yang, and that mocking look struck Jin Yang with a barrage of blows!


    Thwack!


    Jin Yang felt as if a knife had viciously stabbed his heart, almost making him spit blood.


    At that moment, Jin Yang somewhat understood why Wang Tao and Qi Jun were "talked" to death by Ye Fan. This Ye Fan was incredibly infuriating!


    After carefully setting such a trap, he hadn''t realized everything was part of Ye Fan''s calctions.


    In the end, this trap had be Jin Yang''s own grave.


    Asking Ye Fan for mercy was obviously out of the question!


    Because if Jin Yang were in Ye Fan''s shoes, and Ye Fan wished to kill him in such a manner, then he would never let Ye Fan go.


    Given that...


    "Ye Fan, don''t celebrate too soon! Since I have to die, I''m taking you down with me. Let''s die together! Haha!" Jin Yang burst into crazedughter, his eyes showing a hint of despair, and then he suddenly ripped open his clothes.


    Inside Jin Yang''s clothes, there was arge ring of explosives tied around!


    The fuse had already been pulled and was emitting smoke, seemingly ready to explode at any moment!


    As Jin Yangughed madly, he tried to lunge forward and fiercely embrace Ye Fan!


    But Ye Fan just sneered coldly, "Die together? You wish. If anyone''s going to die, it''ll be you alone!"


    The next moment, Ye Fan reached out to embrace Su Yixue, Qing Run, and Xuan Yufei, teleporting all of them in an instant, and they were already dozens of meters away in the za on the first floor!


    Boom! Boom!


    The explosives exploded in an instant, and the massive factory was blown away; screams from those bodyguards and assassins inside could also be heard!


    "Jin Yang, I curse your mother, I don''t want to die yet!"


    "Jin Yang, even as a ghost I won''t let you go!"


    The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and


    continue reading tomorrow, everyone!

 Chapter 144 Xiao Fan Must Accelerate the Cultivation!

    The smoke and dust dispersed, and the entire abandoned cement factory had be a pile of dusty ruins!


    Ye Fan''s powerful perception was released, and after the copse of the ruins, those Grandmasters and other assassins had all been devoid of any signs of life; they were either blown to pieces or had met their instantaneous demise!


    As for the assassins lurking around the factory...


    "Big brother, are you alright? It''s all Schr Guo''s fault for demandingpensation from those people, it infuriates me!" Hardly had the area calmed down when Wang Fugui and Guo Li, among others, rushed over at high speed.


    On the way here, a few assassins who instinctively wanted to swing their battle sabers to block were sent straight to Western Paradise by two ps from Wang Fugui.


    The assassins on the outskirts had already been cleaned up by the men brought by Guo Li.


    Not a single survivor was left on the scene!


    "What could possibly happen to me? There was a huge explosion just now, boom... All gone!" Ye Fan responded to Wang Fugui with an honest face, while reaching out to feel around on Qing Run''s body, "Wife Run, are you alright? Were you hurt by the explosion anywhere?"


    Ye Fan''s hands on Qing Run''s slender waist and hips kept groping, as if endowed with magic power, causing her face to flush and her whole body to feel ufortable, "No... I''m fine!"


    Although Qing Run had by nowpletely epted that Ye Fan could check her body, it wasn''t supposed to be here!


    There were so many people here!


    Xuan Yufei and Su Yixue, watching from the side, saw Ye Fan revert to this state in an instant, and a trace of worry appeared in their eyes; it was apparent that Ye Fan had once again returned to a foolish state.


    s!


    Fortunately, Ye Fan was in a clear state of mind just now.


    Otherwise, with Su Yixue, Xuan Yufei, and Qing Run all under Jin Yang''s control, if Ye Fan had been killed by them, the three would truly regret it for the rest of their lives.


    They had clearly promised Old Master Ye to protect the only bloodline of the Ye Family and to help the Ye Family flourish.


    Looking at Ye Fan and then at her own stomach, Su Yixue realized she had been with Ye Fan for a while now, yet there was still no movement in her belly.


    Was her body too weak?


    It seemed that she must hurry up and let Ye Fan speed up the ''sowing'', or else in a month''s time, Ye Fan would have to go to Provincial City!


    With seven sisters, she couldn''t fall behind!


    "Hmph! Schr Guo, luckily big brother is fine. If big brother was missing a single hair, I would have fought with you to the death!" Wang Fugui confirmed that Ye Fan was fine and only then did he look a bit more kindly at Guo Li.


    Guo Li stood beside, feeling depressed. This blockhead Wang Fugui didn''t understand that everything was arranged by big brother in advance; he intentionally wanted us not to appear here.


    Big brother''s strength and situation couldn''t be fully exposed yet. If there were too many people at the scene, how would big brother have been able to act?


    Didn''t he see that now all those who witnessed big brother''s action had all been killed?


    Zhou Ming, in the ultimate assassination n orchestrated by Jin Yang, ended up with Jin Yang and the people from Gu Sect utterly defeated, the strong man from Dongying by Zhou Ming''s side died, Zhou Ming himself was beaten to the point of his soul scattering, left in a state neither ghost nor human, almost forgetting who he was.


    Ye Fan nced at the huge ruins and sighed inwardly. Those opponents of the Ye Family in Cloud City, theirst lurking forces, should have all been cleared out, right?


    Cloud City was temporarily safe, and it would be very difficult for the enemies to try to suppress the Su Corporation again.


    Next, it was time to go to Provincial City, on the one hand to assist the Qing Family and their arch-enemies in battle, and to clean up the enemies'' ws in Tiannan Provincepletely, on the other hand, it was to go to the Xuanwu Battle Zone to find the fragmented map on his second brother''s body, and of course, to delve deeper into revenge, to find the core enemies against the Ye Family, and to settle the scores with each and every one of them, blood for blood!


    Ye Fan turned his head and looked over at Su Yixue, his brows suddenly furrowed.


    Something was off with Su Yixue!


    Around Su Yixue''s head, several strands of dark, malevolent aura had appeared.


    Last night, when Ye Fan was being intimate with Su Yixue, there was nothing on her body, but today it was there?


    Was there a feng shui master working against Su Yixue in secret?


    Were there still people in Cloud City who were unwilling to give up?


    A dark look shed in Ye Fan''s eyes as he walked over to Su Yixue and said, "Wife Yixue, where did you go this morning? I want to be with you this afternoon!"


    Su Yixue looked at Ye Fan, her eyes full of tenderness, "I went to check the new factory this morning! I''ll keep youpany this afternoon, okay?" After experiencing such a life-and-death situation, Su Yixue hade to understand a lot of things.


    "Good! I want to see the new factory too, I want to see what it''s really like!" Ye Fan was already certain that the problem must be in the new factory, "Old Guo, would youe with me?"


    Ye Fan still needed to y the fool in front of others, and if he discovered any problems, he would need people to handle them.


    Now, the only people who knew Ye Fan''s identity were Xia Hao, Guo Li, and others.


    An explosive life-and-death situation had seemingly calmed down.


    As if nothing had ever happened!


    But in fact, the undercurrents hidden behind were far more turbulent!


    Just after Ye Fan, Wang Fugui, Guo Li, and others had left, a van sped towards the cement factory. Several youths got off, and seeing the situation in front of them, their faces turned grave, and they immediately made several phone calls.


    ...


    In the Northwest, inside a certain courtyard!


    Elder Zhang was ying chess with an old man when his subordinate suddenly came in with a tablet and reported the news.


    Although Elder Zhang had extraordinaryposure, he was so shocked by the news that he stood up abruptly from his chair, "What? Jin Yang and all the members of the Gu Sect have been annihted? Third Elder Ling Yun of the Gu Sect is dead too?"


    "Is Ye Fan not afraid of the Gu Sect''s methods?"


    The bald subordinate shook his head and said, "Elder! We''re not clear about the specifics; none of the people at the scene survived. Our brothers in the distance only saw an explosion... Jin Yang and the people from the Gu Sect didn''t pass on any useful information... Whether Jin Yang and his people were blown up or something else happened, we have no idea... Also, there''s the matter with Young Master Zhou..."


    "What happened with Young Master Zhou? Didn''t he also go to Cloud City? He should have been involved in the operation, right?" Elder Zhang''s heart skipped a beat upon hearing his subordinate''s words.


    Young Master Zhou was a spokesman for the Holy Envoy Organization, and under the graces of Your Highness the Holy Envoy, Young Master Zhou possessed many extraordinary abilities, even the "Indestructible Body."


    In terms of overallbat power, Zhou Ming had even reached the Martial Emperor Level.


    Could it be that Zhou Ming also suffered a setback in Cloud City?


    "News from the Capital says that Young Master Zhou is dead!"


    "Ah? Dead? Are you kidding?" The chess pieces fell from Elder Zhang''s hand. With Zhou Ming''s Martial Emperor Level strength, to die in Cloud City... who was it that made the move in secret?


    Even if Wandering Soul intervened in the Ye Family''s affairs, to kill a Martial Emperor Level fighter, one of Wandering Soul''s old timers would have had to take action, right?


    But ording to the intelligence, those old farts from Wandering Soul never left their headquarters.


    "The Capital said that Young Master Zhou is sort of dead, but notpletely dead... because of the Holy Envoy''s Mysterious Secret Technique, Zhou Ming escaped in a state that was neither human nor ghost. However, hepletely forgot the specifics of the fight..."

 Chapter 145 Still Think Ye Fan Doesnt Have Enough Wives?

    Could this be a coincidence?


    Zhou Ming died and just happened to forget everything about the battle, even whom he had fought against?


    "I just got the news this morning that Sun Desheng, arranged by Tang Zheng, has failed. Even the generals of Myanmar and Ye Fan are acquainted. How many more cards does this Ye Fan hold?"


    Elder Zhang rubbed his head with some headache, now very suspicious that Ye Fan had already awakened.


    Elder Zhang, in alliance with Elder Tang Zheng, had marshaled so many forces to eliminate the Ye Family, to suppress both the Su Corporation and the Qing Family, but all their efforts were invisibly resolved.


    There must be a mastermind operating behind the Ye Family!


    But Ye Changfeng is already on the brink of death; is he capable?


    "Elder, should we notify the young master? The young master has just returned from his studies in the Four Great Holy Lands and The Nether, reputed to have be the Nether Holy Master''s closed-door disciple, and his strength has even broken through to Martial Venerable... Perhaps we should have the young master personally visit Tiannan Province to find out Ye Fan''s actual situation," the secretary beside Elder Zhang tentatively inquired.


    Dealing with the other ten core disciples of Ye Fan had gone smoothly, but only that old fool from the Ye Family was so troublesome to handle.


    And the most critical issue was that there was absolutely no firsthand information about Ye Fan''s true circumstances.


    Those who had contact with Ye Fan were either all dead or, like Zhou Ming, had their memories of that timepletely forgotten.


    The details of Ye Fan must be thoroughly investigated!


    After pondering for a few seconds, Elder Zhang spoke with some gravity, "Let''s wait until Xiao Feng returns! However, indeed we need someone to go to Tiannan to rify the situation."


    Elder Zhang heaved a sigh, feeling somewhat worried!


    Chu Feng and Zhou Ming, two great experts, had suffered setbacks in Cloud City one after another; the Ye Family was bing increasingly difficult to handle.


    But if they didn''t take down the Ye Family, he feared that as the Ye Family continued their in-depth investigation, they would eventually trace it back to him. The Holy Envoy Organization had said that if there was actual evidence, they would not hesitate to abandon him as a dispensable pawn.


    "Elder, there''s a call from the Gu Sect, should I take it?" While Elder Zhang was contemting, the secretary''s mobile phone suddenly rang.


    "Answer it!" Elder Zhang knew that all the experts of the Gu Sect had been wiped out, even Third Elder Ling Yun had died; the Gu Sect must have learned the news.


    "Elder Zhang, what''s going on? Why is the Life-Death Medallion of Third Elder Ling Yun shattered on our end? Is Ling Yun dead? And the other Gu Sect experts, their Lifebound Gu Worms are also dead, what exactly happened?" The voice on the phone was that of the Gu Sect''s Patriarch Zhuang Bifan, sounding somewhat anxious.


    Although Third Elder Ling Yun had always been a threat to Zhuang Bifan''s position, Ling Yun''s Gu Techniques and strength had been very beneficial to the development of the Gu Sect.


    At least, with Third Elder present, some external forces contemting moves against the Gu Sect would have to weigh their options carefully.


    But with the death of Third Elder, it signified a weakening of the Gu Sect''s power.


    The Gu Sect''s bargaining power in negotiations with allies would undoubtedly diminish in the future.


    "Yes! Patriarch Zhuang, the experts you sent this time, along with the men I arranged, have all perished in Cloud City. We''re investigating the exact cause of death... but one thing is certain, this matter is undoubtedly rted to Ye Fan!"


    Elder Zhang continued with a detailed description of the situation, "ording to Jin Yang''s arrangement, they had already kidnapped Su Yixue, Xuan Yufei, Ye Fan, Qing Run, and led them to the cement factory. However, in the end, the cement factory exploded. Jin Yang and all the members of the Gu Sect were wiped out, but Ye Fan and his three wives were unharmed..."


    "Damn it!"


    Zhuang Bifan cursed on the phone, "It must''ve been Ye Fan''s doing! Five years ago, Ye Fan was such a monstrous genius, you all kept saying he was an idiot, I seriously suspect that he has already awakened!"


    "Elder Zhang, we have all suffered such great losses, the matter can''t just end like this, right? We haven''t even found those treasures of the Ye Family. If they fall into other people''s hands, won''t everything you did before be a great loss?"


    Elder Zhang snorted coldly, "Of course, we can''t just let this go! My grandson is about to return from Nether at one of the Four Great Holy Lands. I''ve already notified him to ask for the experts of the holynd toe out, and your Gu Sect should also send a group of strong fighters. We must exterminate Ye Fan in his cradle!"


    "Good!"


    ...


    In the Eastern Suburbs of Cloud City, Su Yixue was driving with Ye Fan towards the new factory, while saying, "Xiao Fan! Actually, Princess Yu''s intentions are not that bad... She could have chosen not toe today, but when she saw that I was captured, she followed to rescue me and got caught herself. Aren''t you being a bit too cold toward her?"


    Ye Fan''s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Su Yixue''s words.


    Xuan Yufei''s presence at the site today had indeed surprised Ye Fan. On the day of the funeral, she had resolutely broken off their engagement, only toter regret it and pursue him time and time again.


    Today at the cement factory, when Xuan Yufei was threatened by Jin Yang, she was even willing to sacrifice herself to save Su Yixue.


    Ye Fan couldn''t help but think of the Soul Capturing Demonic Technique that afflicted Xuan Yufei. Could it be that she was really under control at that time?


    "It was Princess Yu who first rejected me! Hmph... Yixue wife, what do you think I should do?" Of course, Ye Fan was lucid, but he decided to leave this difficult problem to Su Yixue to deal with.


    Su Yixue hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Actually, it''s quite simple! You two were originally the perfect couple. Why don''t you give her another chance, Xiao Fan? Since you already have seven wives, one more wouldn''t matter, right?"


    Having said that, Su Yixue''s face turned a shade of red!


    What was she doing?


    Did she think that Ye Fan didn''t have enough wives already?


    Ye Fan felt a mix of emotions internally. It seemed that Sister Su Yixue genuinely had his best interests at heart. However, Ye Fan added to himself that if Xuan Yufei joined them, it would likely be more than just seven wives... Ren Xueying from Provincial City had used her Great Phoenix to warm him up for an entire night six years ago, saving his life.


    To repay her, he could only offer himself in return, right?


    "Hehe! I already have many wives, we''ll talk about thister... Yixue wife, we should be arriving soon, right?" Ye Fan''s powerful Perception was released, and he had already sensed a very sinister evil aura stirring nearby, which bore a simr essence to that of Su Yixue.


    "Yes, just a turn ahead!" Su Yixue replied. Seeing the simple look on Ye Fan''s face, she couldn''t figure out what he was really thinking and decided to drop the subject, focusing on driving towards the factory.


    At this time, in the new factory selected by Su Corporation, several construction workers were organizing a few locust trees in the factory yard.


    Beside the workers, a middle-aged man dressed in a long gown was burying several stic bags filled with fresh blood beneath the trees.


    "Priest Yan, hurry and evacuate... Su Yixue suddenly came to the factory again. If you are discovered, it will still be troublesome..." A voice suddenly came through the earpiece of the man in the robe. Without any hesitation, Priest Yan grabbed the bags he hadn''t buried yet and swiftly shed towards the side building...

 Chapter 146 Black Dog Blood! Corpse? Locust Tree Summoning Spirits!

    "We''re just one step away frompleting the Seven Stars Lethal Formation, and once the Seven Killings invade, Su Yixue will fall prey to the malevolent Qi. Not even the heavenly deities could save her then... Hmph, what''s this disturbance about now..."


    Priest Yan muttered to himself as he ran.


    What he didn''t realize was that the Grim Reaper had already arrived.


    "Priest Yan, the arrangements you made won''t be exposed, will they? If you are exposed, our Young Master Ye won''t bother to help you..." The voice in the earpiece continued to murmur, but Priest Yan was getting impatient, "Hmph! Shut up, the Mount Mao lineage is merely coborating with you, don''t talk to me in that tone!"


    Priest Yan''s body surged into the factory on the side, concealing his presence as he looked toward the factory''s main entrance.


    At the factory''s main entrance, Ye Fan and Su Yixue arrived.


    As soon as they got out of the car, Ye Fan felt a strong concealed presence permeating throughout the factory.


    There was no doubt about it, there was definitely something wrong with the factory!


    A golden light coursed around Ye Fan''s eyes as he scanned the surroundings sharply, pinpointing the source of the evil Qi in seven different positions of the factory!


    Tian Shu, Yao Guang...


    The entire ce was arranged ording to the positions of the Big Dipper Seven Stars!


    "Seven Stars Lethal Formation? Hmph! Someone indeed tampered with the factory!" Ye Fan''s knowledge about formations acquired from the dragon-patterned ring five years ago was countless times more profound than these primitive formations.


    These small tricks couldn''t trouble Ye Fan, but the malevolent Qi generated by the evil formations could indeed afflict ordinary individuals like Su Yixue and the others.


    Summoning Souls with the Pagoda Tree!


    The most crucial point of the Seven Stars Lethal Formation was indeed the old pagoda tree in the green belt directly opposite the main entrance of the factory!


    Some workers were still constructing around that area; the old pagoda tree hadn''t been fully nted yet, and the formation was not entirely set up, seemingly missing something.


    After identifying the key to the formation, Ye Fan had a n in mind.


    "Xiao Fan, this is the new factory. There are enough spaces for ten production lines here to meet the demand for the Snow Face Cream in the Southwestern Region. It should be sufficient! Additionally, we''re also looking for a new factory in the Provincial City, so if sales go well, we can expand over there too!" Su Yixue exined the situation of the factory to Ye Fan while linking his arm.


    Ye Fan nodded, still eyeing the construction work near the greenbelt. Seeing a digger at work, an idea shed in his eyes, "Yixue, my wife, that digging machine looks fun. I want to y with it!"


    "This... Xiao Fan, they are working right now, you... do you know how to operate that thing?" Su Yixue said, turning her head to look at Guo Li following behind her.


    Of course, Guo Li knew that his boss had awakened, and his interest in operating the digger was not just for fun; he must have sensed something amiss.


    Guo Li was also a master beyond the Grandmaster Realm, and when he entered the factory, he too faintly felt that something was off.


    The Su Corporation''s factory seemed much colder than other ces, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees upon entering.


    There was undoubtedly a problem here!


    "Sister-inw, if Big Brother wants to give it a try, let him! If you''re worried, I''ll apany him," Guo Li insisted.


    Su Yixue nodded, "Alright then."


    Guo Li was one of Ye Fan''s best friends and a powerful ally. With Guo Li''spany, Su Yixue was much more reassured.


    "I want to use your digger, can I have a go?" Ye Fan approached the workers and spoke up, his gaze sharply sweeping over them.


    Most of the workers seemed normal, but the foreman leading them had a trace of evil Qi, and his face was too pale to look like a regr worker.


    Hearing Ye Fan''s request, the foreman spoke up with a smile, "President Su, is this the idiotic Young Master Ye of the Ye Family? I heard his intelligence is somewhat abnormal. President Su, how could you dare to let him y with such a dangerous machine? Better not! "


    The foreman knew there was a secret beneath the locust tree and felt somewhat uneasy, naturally not daring to let Ye Fan y with the excavator here.


    If Ye Fan dug out the secret under the locust tree, it would be difficult to exin.


    If someone with knowledge exposed their n, both his master and he would be in trouble.


    "Who are you calling a fool? You''re the fool, your whole family are fools!"


    Smack!


    Before the foreman''s words had even finished, Ye Fan suddenly stepped forward and pped him across the face, "My wife said, whoever calls me a fool, I''ll hit!"


    "I..."


    The foreman was so frustrated he was almost driven mad, but when he saw Su Yixue and Guo Li by her side, he wanted to burst out cursing, yet he forcefully suppressed his anger.


    So he had gotten pped for nothing!


    Arguing with a fool, he really was stupid to the extreme.


    The key issue now was to prevent Ye Fan from operating the excavator, "Young Master Ye, excavators are too dangerous, I think you better not y with it..." the foreman continued to urge Ye Fan, holding back the fury in his heart.


    But Ye Fan ignored himpletely and quickly strode forward, rushing into the cab of the excavator, and threw the driver out with a grab, "I want to y, I want to y! You go away!"


    The excavator driver was also disguised by a Mount Mao Taoist.


    He himself knew some martial arts and had wanted to resist when Ye Fan approached, but he hadn''t expected to be thrown out so easily.


    "Brother!" The driver walked over to the foreman and called out quietly.


    "Shut up, don''t talk nonsense, adapt as the situation demands!" the foreman hissed back with a darkened expression, his gaze fixed on several key points in the green belt.


    Under those points, their master had already buried several dead ck dogs and a few infants.


    "Let''s stand over there. In a popted area, that fool probably won''t dig randomly. As long as he doesn''t reach those key points, there should be no problem!" The foreman moved stealthily two steps and ended up standing precisely over those points with the driver.


    What they didn''t know was that Ye Fan had long seen the source of the malevolent energy here, which was exactly those two points where the foreman and driver stood.


    If anyone said they were fine, Ye Fan wouldn''t believe it even if he were beaten to death.


    Ye Fan sat down in the driver''s seat, and Guo Li also followed him into the cab, "Big brother! What''s wrong here?"


    Ye Fan''s face became somber, "Tell the brothers who came with us to block off the entire factory. No one is allowed in or out! A very deadly formation is set up here... There are dead ck dogs and infant corpses buried over there. Later you will take charge and take them down... They are just minions, but there''s a bigger fish behind them, which I will go after..."


    "Okay!" Guo Li responded with a startle in his heart.


    Although Guo Li didn''t know much about feng shui, he understood that dead ck dogs and infants... These were all extremely malevolent things. If buried under the new factory, they were surely targeting both Su Corporation and the Ye Family...


    "Time to y!" Ye Fan called out foolishly, and without any hesitation, he operated the excavator directly toward where the foreman and the driver stood...


    Whoosh!


    Seeing the excavator''s arm swing down swiftly towards him, the foreman''s hairs stood on end in an instant...


    Damn it!


    Has this fool gone mad?

 Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Blood-Seeping Mud! The "Eight Sons Filial Piety to Mother" Evil Formation!

    ```


    Boom!


    The excavator dug down, narrowly missing the foreman''s thigh, and sank deep into the ground beneath his feet.


    "Fuck!"


    The foreman and the driver beside him were nearly scared limp!


    Was this Ye Fan really an idiot?


    "You... Are you blind? Can''t you see there''s someone in front of you?" the foreman scolded, his legs trembling.


    The driver beside him nced down at the foreman''s crotch, which was already wet, "Brother, your crotch... did you piss yourself?"


    The foreman wished he could bite his stupid junior brother, "I know, do I need you to tell me that?"


    Ye Fan in the driver''s cabin didn''t pay any attention to the foreman''s words, but instead continued to operate the excavator. He flipped over the ground where the foreman stood without any regard for the people nearby, dumping several tons of earth and stones on top of the two men.


    "He''s gone mad! Completely mad!" At this moment, the two could no longer care about anything else and could only move aside.


    Although they were very reluctant to have the secrets beneath exposed, their lives were ultimately more important.


    Everyone knew that Ye Fan was an idiot - an idiot who could do anything.


    He had just been pped for no reason, and if he got killed by Ye Fan, that would be a senseless death.


    Soon, after three digs by Ye Fan, a dead dog with fresh blood on it emerged from the ground... followed by a pottery jar containing the corpse of a baby girl, also bloody, a sight that was very disturbing...


    Most crucially, Ye Fan noticed that beneath the pottery jar with the baby girl, a bloodline had formed, seeping into the soil, seemingly intending to connect with six other formations elsewhere.


    With the Devil''s Pupil activated, Ye Fan could see the direction in which the bloodline spread. On the other side, there was another bloodline extending toward it. There was only a distance of one foot left for the two bloodlines to connect.


    "Woo!"


    When Ye Fan excavated the pottery jar, he even heard a sobbing sounding from underground.


    The entire atmosphere seemed to fill with resentment; a cold wind blew, and the sky seemed to darken.


    "Big brother, did you just hear a baby crying?" Guo Li''s face was cautious. Although it was broad daylight, facing such eerie circumstances, Guo Li was still wary.


    Ye Fan nodded, "Don''t worry! With me here, there won''t be any problems! Remember, don''t let anyone leave... This Feng Shui Master has some skill! This formation is just a Blinding Technique, but there is another more evil formation behind it!"


    Eight Sons Filial Piety to Mother!


    This was the more evil formation!


    Behind the Seven Stars Lethal Formation, there was theplement of the Eight Sons Filial Piety to Mother Formation!


    This Feng Shui Master was nning to use the Seven Stars Lethal Formation of the factory to absorb the Essence Blood of Su Yixue, as well as that of the factory workers, then Nourish and Cultivate those infant spirits. The ultimate goal was to breed a super maternity body?


    "Ah?" Su Yixue also saw what was dug up from the soil.


    Although Su Yixue didn''t understand, seeing the dead dog and the corpse in the pottery jar, she realized that it was definitely not a good situation and couldn''t help letting out a shocked cry.


    Meanwhile, the evil aura on Su Yixue''s forehead fluctuated, and she seemed to be affected, staggering, almost falling.


    On the edge of the green belt, the foreman and the driver saw the situation unfolding before them, their expressions darkening.


    "Brother, have we been exposed? What should we do now?"


    The foreman was so angry he wanted to kick his foolish junior brother, "How would I know what to do? Our master is right over there. If there''s a real problem, master will definitely take action!"


    As the foreman whispered, his eyes unwillingly nced towards the factory building nearby.


    ```


    At this moment, Priest Yan, who was hiding in a nearby factory building, nearly jumped to his feet when he saw the look in his two disciples'' eyes as they gazed in this direction.


    Fuck!


    You two idiots, why the hell are you looking over here?


    Although Ye Fan had dug up the secret beneath the locust tree, it seemed to be an unintentional act.


    But Priest Yan already had a strong feeling of foreboding; he always felt that Ye Fan did it on purpose, that Ye Fan must have discovered something.


    His own disciples must have been suspected, which was why they were being targeted like that.


    By looking in his direction at this time, weren''t they just showing the enemy where to go?


    Pfft!


    Dammit!


    As part of the formation was broken, Priest Yan quickly received a bacsh, involuntarily spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Unlike the normal "Eight Sons Filial Piety to Mother" formation in Feng Shui studies, the formation concocted by Priest Yan fed all the Essence Blood not to a mother corpse, but to Priest Yan himself.


    Priest Yan was a Mao Mountain Feng Shui Master, but he wanted to use evil methods to quickly enhance his own strength.


    ...


    Over at the green belt area, Ye Fan inside the excavator gave Guo Li a meaningful look.


    Guo Li immediately jumped down and scolded the contractor, "What''s going on here? It''s bad enough you nted locust trees here, but why the hell are you burying these things too?"


    "Ah? We don''t know either... Big brother, we swear this has nothing to do with us..." The contractor and the excavator driver tried to bluff their way through, but they didn''t realize that Guo Li and Ye Fan had already seen through their ruse.


    Guo Li continued to question the contractor and driver, while Ye Fan kept on digging for a while longer, then suddenly drove the excavator to another area of the factory grounds to dig.


    Boom! Boom!


    In just a short time, the factory building, which had been nearlypleted, had seven or eight of its green belts dug up intoplete disarray.


    But just like with the previous green belt, Ye Fan also excavated infant corpses and dead dogs from several other locations.


    "This..." Su Yixue, watching the scene unfold, was stunned.


    Did Ye Fan just coincidentally find so many problematic areas on the site?


    "Sister-inw, big brother briefly regained consciousness just now and discovered the issues below. Someone set up an evil formation in the factory building to harm you!" Guo Li whispered to Su Yixue, seeing the confusion in her eyes.


    Did Ye Fan have a brief moment of wakefulness again?


    Now Ye Fan was bing conscious more and more. Was Ye Fan finally about to fully wake up?


    As all eight tampered locations within the factory were dug out cleanly, Priest Yan, hiding in the side building, could no longer bear it. He stumbled and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth!


    "No, this can''t be a coincidence, it definitely can''t be... Ye Fan must have discovered the formation I set up, he''s specifically targeting me..."


    However, what Priest Yan couldn''t understand was how Ye Fan, just a fool, could have such incredible skills and also understand Feng Shui? How could he so easily break his Seven Stars Lethal Formation and the Eight Sons Filial Piety to Mother Formation?


    After hesitating for a moment, Priest Yan, dragging his weakened body, tried to slip away quietly from another door of the factory building!


    HIs n to use the formation against the Su Family was definitely doomed to fail... Moreover, Priest Yan had also discovered a secret about Ye Fan; Ye Fan, despite beingbeled a fool by the outside world!


    But judging from Ye Fan''s ability to break the formation, he was definitely not a fool...

 Chapter 148 Priest Yan Breaks Defense!

    Priest Yan''s idea was good, he wanted to escape immediately and spread the news as soon as possible so that everyone else would be clear about Ye Fan''s situation!


    But just as Priest Yan was stepping out from another gate, he saw Ye Fan operating an excavator, waiting for him with a smile.


    As soon as Priest Yan showed himself, Ye Fan swung the mechanical arm and aimed a vicious scoop of earth at him.


    Priest Yan had never seen an excavator''s arm move that fast before, and it carried a powerful Qi Force impact. If it really hit him, he feared his entire body would be smashed to pieces.


    Although extremely weak, Priest Yan quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding Ye Fan''s attack.


    "Indeed, it was you all along... You dare to touch my wife, haven''t you seen the consequences faced by the Zhao Family, the Wang Family, and the Li Family?" Ye Fan came down from the excavator, looking devilishly at Priest Yan.


    That sharp gaze made Priest Yan''s heart tingle with numbness.


    "You...you''re not foolish at all, you were pretending... everyone was fooled by you!" Hearing Ye Fan speak, Priest Yan waspletely certain that the Ye Family''s simpleton young master was not at all the fool rumored by the outside world.


    To deal with those who continuously acted against the Ye Family, the result was that their minions all ended up suffering.


    When Priest Yan knew of these incidents, he had been curious about who had killed all those people without a sound or trace��none of the Ye Family''s adversaries had figured it out till now.


    Now, Priest Yan understood, everything was Ye Fan''s scheme from the shadows!


    "That''s right! I was pretending. If I didn''t y the fool, how would you scumbags expose yourselves?" Ye Fan advanced two steps, staring intently at Priest Yan, "Come clean, who sent you after the Su Family? Was it Young Master Zhou of the Capital, or Elder Zhang, or perhaps Elder Tang?"


    "Hmph! I don''t know what you''re talking about!" Priest Yan replied with a sentence, a fierce look shing in his eyes, "Ye Fan, you''re very clever! But you shouldn''t havee alone to pursue me! Five years ago, your talent was monstrous, indeed reaching the Grandmaster Realm, but don''t forget, I also possess the power of the Grandmaster Peak... I am not afraid of you..."


    Priest Yan still had some confidence. Pulling out his battle saber, he intended to engage in a fight to the death with Ye Fan despite the weakness in his body.


    Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Who said I am only at the Grandmaster Realm?"


    With a gentle wave of his hand, a majestic Qi Force appeared on Ye Fan''s wrist. Ye Fan merely moved his fingers, and the surging Qi obediently changed into any shape he desired. The fluctuating Martial Arts Qi was nearly materializing, and the power it contained seemed to tear the air apart, emitting a wailing sound.


    "To use Qi to take form... Damn it, you''ve reached the Martial Emperor Level? You ****..."


    Priest Yan, who had just been full of confidence, was suddenly utterly defeated.


    He had thought Ye Fan was a fool, but the man turned out to be extraordinarily clever, tricking everyone!


    He had thought he could easily beat Ye Fan, only to find out that his peak didn''t evene close to reaching Ye Fan''s heels.


    Your lifetime''s ultimate achievement is nothing but his starting point!


    ng!


    Priest Yan outright threw his battle saber to the ground, devoid of any courage to fight.


    He was merely at the strength of a Grandmaster, with the Martial Venerable��a supremely difficult Realm to ovee��standing in between. Any resistance was utterly meaningless.


    "It wasn''t Young Master Zhou who ordered me to act, nor any of those elders! It was Feng Hanshao, the eldest son of the Ancient Martial Feng Family!" Without any hesitation, Priest Yan betrayed the person behind him.


    "A daoist priest would rather die than be impoverished," Priest Yan firmly believed.


    Although Priest Yan''s coboration with Feng Hanshao was merely a partnership, at this point, Feng Hanshao could only bear the brunt of the me.


    "The ancient martial families are getting involved as well?" Ye Fan frowned. The situation was bing moreplex.


    The military, under Elder Zhang!


    Young Master Zhou and the Holy Envoy Organization behind him!


    Now the ancient martial families were stepping in too!


    More and more people were setting their sights on the Ye Family. The so-called move against the Su Family might just be a front. Their ultimate target was likely the Ye Family''s map fragment.


    But the key point was, the Ye Family didn''t have the map fragment in their possession either!


    ording to grandfather, all those fragments were with his seven brothers. And now, with the demise of the seven brothers, even the Ye Family itself didn''t know the fragments'' whereabouts.


    However, the fact that so many were eyeing the Heavenly Pce map fragments further emphasized their significance.


    Ye Fan had to find the seven lost fragments as quickly as possible so that they wouldn''t fall into the hands of the Ye Family''s rivals and enemies.


    Since grandfather mentioned that the ce where the divinity''s relics were found contained advanced martial arts techniques, and even cultivation mystiques, if those rivals were to step in first, it would be the end of the Ye Family.


    "Yes, the Ancient Martial Feng Family asked me to act, and I had no choice! Young Master Ye, please spare my life. I swear that I won''t oppose the Ye Family anymore!" Priest Yan feigned a pitiful appearance, bowing respectfully and pleading for mercy from Ye Fan.


    But a cold light shed in Ye Fan''s eyes. He had uncovered this man''s Feng Shui formation today, saving Su Yixue''s life, which was why this guy was now cowering.


    If he hadn''t understood Feng Shui and Su Yixue had died, he would probably have no clue how she perished!


    "Hmph! If you confess honestly, I''ll grant you a swift end! You think you can target my wife and still hope to live?" Ye Fan''s Qi Force fluctuated, ready to take action at any moment.


    Priest Yan was crushed by the pressure and couldn''t move. Seeing Ye Fan''s gesture, panic shed in his eyes, "Spare me, Young Master Ye! I... I''m a disciple of Mount Mao. If you kill me, you will be opposing Mount Mao... Please reconsider, Young Master Ye..."


    "Mount Mao? Worthless!" Ye Fan snorted coldly. If he were to utilize all the legacies contained within the dragon-patterned ring, not just Mount Mao, even the Heavenly Masters from Dragon Tiger Mountain would have to address him as an ancestor. Why would Ye Fan take Mount Mao seriously?


    Seeing that his threats were ineffective, Priest Yan despairedpletely, and a fierce light shed in his eyes, "If that''s the case, then I''m going all out against you!"


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    As Priest Yan''s voice fell, countless paper men flew out from his sleeves, swelling with the wind, and in an instant, they formed a formidable martial arts expert, charging at Ye Fan to y him!


    At the same time, thick, dark smoke began to appear at the empty factory entrance. The world seemed to dim, and a sinister aura engulfed an area of ten zhang around!


    Ye Fan could almost feel the razor-sharp killing intent on the des of those paper warriors!


    "You can even use the evil techniques of the Puppet Corpse Sect?" Seeing the situation in front of him, a smile emerged at the corner of Ye Fan''s mouth. This daoist from Mount Mao sure knew a lot, didn''t he?

 Chapter 149: Chapter 149 I am your ancestor!

    The Puppet Corpse Sect originally originated from Xiangxi, where a group of corpse herders created some Rune Talismans to stick onto the corpses. This was to facilitate the transportation of the bodies and to control their movements, also preventing them from turning into violent zombies.


    Later, some of these people gradually took another path, beginning to consider using Rune Talismans to control paper men and even control living people, engaging in illegal acts!


    Murdering and robbing, stealing chickens and dogs!


    In the inheritance of the ring, there were also some detailed techniques of the Puppet Corpse Sect. Although Ye Fan had never used them, he was very clear about the specificmands and techniques.


    Facing the attacking paper men, Ye Fan didn''t use any Martial Arts Qi. He simply stretched out his hand and formed several seals in the air, then suddenly smashed them towards the ground!


    "Arise!"


    As the resounding voice echoed, a golden Eight Trigrams pattern pressed down towards the ground.


    The instant it touched the ground, golden radiance began to surge outwards.


    The paper men, carrying fierce killing moves, immediately stopped their actions and stiffened in mid-air as the radiance reached them.


    The surrounding fog also instantly dispersed!


    Three meters away, Priest Yan, who was picking up his battle saber, had just prepared to run off when he saw the dispersing fog. He stood rooted to the spot, utterly incredulous as he looked at Ye Fan within the Eight Trigrams Formation.


    "How... how is this possible... how could you be such a freak of nature?"


    Priest Yan had heard that Ye Fan was an incredibly gifted freak of nature, having reached the Grandmaster Realm at the age of fifteen. But he never expected Ye Fan''s talent in geomancy to be just as monstrous. His own Eight Sons Filial Piety to Mother Formation was broken, the Seven Stars Lethal Formation was broken, and even his Puppet Corpse Evil Control Technique was so effortlessly unraveled by Ye Fan.


    Whoosh whoosh!


    Before Priest Yan could react, he was horrified to find that the paper assassins, originally nurtured and controlled by himself, had all turned direction and were frantically besieging him.


    "Ah?" Priest Yan''s mouth hung open in shock as he hurriedly formed seals in an attempt to stop the paper assassins'' attack, but he found that no matter what seals he used, they were useless.


    Even if Priest Yan bit his fingers and drew blood, using his essence as a guide, he still couldn''t control the paper assassins.


    Plop! Plop!


    In the midst of disbelief, Priest Yan could only watch as five paper assassins plunged their battle sabers through his chest.


    "Wooh... you... how did you do it... tell me..." Priest Yan looked at Ye Fan in shock. Even at death''s door, he couldn''tprehend why Ye Fan knew the Puppet Corpse Sect''s methods.


    Ye Fan let out a coldugh, "Because, I am your ancestor!"


    As his voice fell, Ye Fan waved his hand, and a flickering Qi force enveloped Priest Yan. In an instant, Priest Yan''s body turned into a pile of ash, along with those paper men, vanishing without a trace.


    A gust of wind came, sweeping up the dust from the ground!


    If it weren''t for the huge pit left behind by the excavator on the ground, no one would have guessed that a Mao Mountain Sect Grandmaster had just fallen here.


    When Guo Li and Su Yixue rushed over, Ye Fan had already returned to his foolish appearance.


    "Bad guys, bad guys have been driven away!" Ye Fan said to Su Yixue with a naive smile, warming her heart and bringing a surge of pity. She stepped forward gently, embracing Ye Fan tenderly, her face full of affection.


    This little uncle and husband of hers might often be out of his mind, but he was always protective of his sisters-inw.


    Even in his foolish state, as soon as she suffered any grievances or danger, Ye Fan would not hesitate to step in immediately.


    Poor Ye Fan, get well soon!


    When Ye Fan embraced Su Yixue, his wrist felt her body to confirm that there was no malignant aura left in her. Only then did he rx.


    But a new worry cropped up in his heart!


    The Ye Family''s adversaries seemed to be changing their tactics now.


    Knowing they would gain nothing from acting against Ye Fan, they began targeting the people around him.


    s!


    He must eradicate all those adversaries as soon as possible to have peaceful days ahead!


    Additionally, he had to urgently strengthen Su Yixue and Yu Linglong''s capabilities, giving them the power to protect themselves.


    And the quickest way to enhance Su Yixue and the others'' strength was through more intimate contact.


    Ye Fan nced at Su Yixue. She had been with him for some time now and had grown healthier inplexion due to his nurturing, and even her Martial Arts Qi had already reached the Control Realm.


    If she practiced Martial Arts Techniques and supplemented them with Elixir Pills, breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm wouldn''t be much of a problem.


    Once she reached the Grandmaster Realm, it wouldn''t be so easy for others to harm Su Yixue.


    After all, in the Martial Arts path, masters of the Grandmaster level are notmon as cabbages.


    Ye Fan reached the factory and, like a madman, wreaked havoc on the almostpleted structure, destroying itpletely; all thendscaping needed to be redone. This time, it was Guo Li who personally arranged for the construction crew toe over.


    As they left the site, from the side of the factory, inside a building, a young man''s face retracted its gaze from the factory''s entrance and reported to another young man sitting in the room, "Young Master Feng, the Formation that Priest Yanid out has beenpletely dismantled, and the n to use the Formation against Su Yixue has utterly failed! Moreover, I suspect that Priest Yan must have betrayed you!"


    In the room, a young man dressed in a ck T-shirt sat in the seat of honor, holding a cup of tea. He took a light sip and said indifferently, "Failure was inevitable. Involving Priest Yan was merely a feeler move. However, failing this quickly is indeed somewhat unexpected."


    This young man was none other than Feng Hanshao, the onlooker from a distance during Jin Yang''s attack on Ye Fan!


    "This time, I have confirmed that Ye Fan is definitely not a fool, but pretending to be one," Feng Hanshao''s mouth curled into a demonic smile, "Although that Schr Guo from the Provincial City Guo Family is notcking in wits, I doubt he is a match for Priest Yan!"


    "Continue to keep an eye on Ye Fan and observe for some time; our game is officially about to start!"


    "Yes!"


    ...


    Returning to Cloud City, Su Yixue had to go back to thepany to deal with business matters!


    Ye Fan, along with Guo Li and the Four Great Maids, went back to the Ye Family''s old residence and gathered the forces of the Legitimate Line left by his mother, including Han Youyue, Liu Wuyang, Xia Hao, Lei Qianjue, as well as Tianji Pavilion''s Yu Qiang, and Wandering Soul Captain Niu Er had all arrived!


    "Everyone, you did not abandon the Ye Family during its most critical time. On behalf of the Ye Family, I, Ye Fan, thank you all," Ye Fan bowed to everyone, "Moreover, only you are clear about the truth of my awakening!"


    "Now, I have nearly cleared out all the enemies'' pawns in Cloud City. I''m nning to take a trip to the Provincial City and also visit the Xuanwu Battle Zone to investigate the specific circumstances of my second brother''s death by assault and to look for something�� Therefore, the situation in Cloud City needs some arrangements!"


    "Director Xia, Lord Hu under yourmand, along with Captain Niu Er, should protect both Cloud City Ye Family headquarters and the Su Family''s safety! Elder Yu, your subordinates need to begin spreading towards the Provincial City�� I remember some Vassal Families have been restless for a while; this trip will also be a good opportunity to bring them into line!"


    "Liu Wuyang, you need to elerate the n to integrate your resources and build the new business conglomerate. When we fully fall out with our enemies, we''ll need a vast amount of financial support, all depending on you!"


    What Ye Fan did not explicitly tell everyone was that he hade to suspect that his mother had connections with the Divine Gate, which meant they might face even more challenges in the future��


    But at present, the most pressing matter was revenge!


    He had to eliminate all of the Ye Family''s enemies, avenge the Ye Family''s Heroic Spirits, and secure a glorious future for the Ye Family��

 Chapter 150 Are You Already Craving for Xiao Fans Husband?

    Capital, inside a secret base!


    On the operating table, several special syringes and devices were inserted into the head of a body.


    From those syringes, a beam of white light shed, and in the next moment, the body on the operating table sat up, gasping for air.


    "I, Zhou Ming, have been reborn?" The man got off the operating table, feeling his body and the Martial Arts Qi, "My strength hasn''t decreased, that''s great!"


    This man, whose way of speaking and thinking was exactly identical to Zhou Ming''s.


    It was indeed Zhou Ming, who had escaped in a beam of white light from the cement factory... Although he was neither human nor ghost, he was still Zhou Ming.


    Zhou Ming felt around briefly, then suddenly noticed an old man in a white robe in the corner of the room.


    He hurriedly ran over to the elder, knelt down reverently, and said, "Your subordinate, greets Your Highness the Holy Envoy! Thank you for saving my life!"


    The white-robed old man was tightly wrapped in his robes, with only his eye sockets visible, and the eyes within were obscured by flowing light, making it impossible to see clearly.


    "Stand up," the white-robed old man gently waved his hand, helping Zhou Ming up, "Tell me exactly what happened in Cloud City. How did you manage to destroy your own physical body?"


    Mentioning the events in Cloud City, Zhou Ming felt both enraged and confused.


    What exactly he had experienced in Cloud City, Zhou Ming really couldn''t remember at all, but he only knew that Cloud City was terrifying, and the mention of it filled Zhou Ming with dread.


    "Your Highness, I sinfully cannot recall how my body ended up in this condition! Thest thing I remember is that Jin Yang and the Gu Sect had arranged an assassination operation against Ye Fan at the cement factory, but out of caution, I didn''t go to the scene at all... I don''t know how I ended up like this..."


    Zhou Ming felt uneasy in his heart!


    As the representative of the Holy Envoy Organization in the Southwestern Region, he had been urged countless times from above to take down Ye Fan and find those maps of the Ye Family.


    But so much time had passed, and not only had he failed to kill Ye Fan, he had suffered such a heavy blow that he needed the help of the Holy Envoy himself.


    What was worse, the vassal families set up by the Holy Envoys in Cloud City were almost entirely annihted, not one remained.


    The white-robed elder sighed deeply, "Forget it! It''s not your fault. I have just probed your thoughts and have found that your memory of that period has beenpletely erased. The person who did this must be a master... far more powerful than you, even in terms of spiritual power, stronger than me..."


    "The Ye Family is not easy to deal with! And whether that fool Ye Fan is actually a fool or not, we still need to investigate further!"


    The white-robed elder continued, "Rest up and adjust for a bit, then set off for Tiannan Province immediately. ording to thetest intelligence, several families on the Ancient Martial Arts level are also eyeing the Ye Family, and we can''t let them get what we want first!"


    "Yes... Your Highness, but my strength..." Zhou Ming felt somewhat helpless, as he was now of Martial Venerable Realm strength.


    But after this ordeal of having his physical body destroyed, Zhou Ming found that his Martial Venerable Realm strength was still insufficient.


    The Holy Envoy nodded, and a white light enveloped Zhou Ming, as a powerful Qi Force was crazily poured into Zhou Ming''s body.


    After a moment, the white-robed elder released Zhou Ming''s wrist, "There, now your body can only bear the limit of a Third-Rank Martial Emperor. Together with those top-grade martial arts techniques I''ve imparted to you, it will be sufficient to deal with the trash in the Secr World."


    "Thank you, Your Highness the Holy Envoy! Thank you!" Feeling the powerful Martial Arts Qi Force fluctuation inside him, as well as some special heritage, Zhou Ming''s face was almost beaming with joy.


    With the strength at the Martial Emperor level, if he encountered Ye Fan again, he surely wouldn''t lose, right?


    Ye Fan was already at the Demonic Master Realm five years ago, but having been in a dazed state for the past five years, even if his strength has progressed, at most, he would be in the Martial Venerable Realm, right?


    I myself have been directly elevated to the Third-Rank Martial Emperor by Your Highness the Holy Envoy, so won''t I utterly crush Ye Fan when the timees?


    ...


    In Cloud City, after Ye Fan finished arranging all the forces of the Ye Family, he returned to Su Yixue''s vi to find that Su Yixue and Qing Run were chatting!


    "Yixue sister, I have an immodest request. Can you lend me Ye Fan for two days? After two days, I will return him to you," Qing Run had tasted the sweetness from Ye Fan.


    Just having intimate contact with Ye Fan could grant her that magical warmth, thereby rapidly enhancing her power.


    If she were to be Ye Fan''s woman, then the rate of improvement should be even doubled.


    Reflecting on the recent kidnapping incident, Qing Run had a realization.


    She must not be a vase; she couldn''t hold Ye Fan back.


    Not to mention assisting Ye Fan, she at least needed to have the ability to protect herself.


    "Giggle! Sister Run, can''t you hold yourself back already... starting to crave Xiao Fan, are you?" Su Yixue teased Qing Run, "Just afraid you won''t be able to handle it when the timees!"


    Already blushing to the extreme, Qing Run''s face turned even redder to the back of her neck as she was teased by Su Yixue, "Ah! You naughty girl, you''re too bad! I''m just thinking about branching out and spreading the Ye Family''s seeds... Look, with so many enemies against the Ye Family, it''s best if we quickly secure the family''s lineage..."


    Although Qing Run was saying this, deep down, she had another thought.


    That was shyness!


    Now that Ye Fan hasn''t fully awakened, she could be Ye Fan''s woman while he was still in his dazed state.


    Otherwise, once Ye Fan fully wakes up, for her, who was Ye Fan''s sister-inw before, bing Ye Fan''s woman now, Qing Run, despite being bewitching, would still feel embarrassed.


    By contrast, Su Yixue was bing more open the longer she stayed with Ye Fan.


    Thinking of Ye Fan''s astonishingbat ability, Su Yixue''s cheeks reddened and, putting her arm around Qing Run''s shoulder, she whispered into her ear.


    After listening, Qing Run nearly exploded with shock, "What? Together... Yixue sister, you..."


    Qing Run thought of herself as quite bewitching, but she hadn''t expected Su Yixue to want to be so open after bing Ye Fan''s woman.


    Su Yixue was startled by Qing Run''s reaction, "Sister Run, think about it, we''ve already publicly dered ourselves to be Ye Fan''s wives, and Ye Fan is really strong... Sooner orter, won''t we still..."


    Though Su Yixue and Qing Run were whispering in the room.


    For Ye Fan, who had reached the Martial Emperor Level, the movement of an ant nearby was crystal clear to him, let alone the voices of his two women in the room.


    Ye Fan hadn''t expected his wife Yixue to have such audacity!


    Hmm!


    Maybe I should try tonight?
