A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1093 Preparing for the Wedding

After hearing all this, Ye Fan's originally calm and quiet heart started to waver.

He didn't think that Ye Qing-Tian would have put in so much effort to make him a supreme grandmaster. Ye Qing-Tian was even willing to fall out with the rest over this. Ye Qing-Tian had been extremely serious about extending the hand of friendship to him.

"The God of War actually did so much for my sake, and that makes me a little frightened now. If he ends up falling out with everyone else because of me, then I would feel so guilty accepting this title," said Ye Fan guiltily.

But Tang Hao laughed out loud. "Ye Fan, you're thinking too much about this. Qing-Tian has always been like this and we're all very used to it already. Even though Qing-Tian made things very ugly for the King of Fighters that day, it's been so many days now, and nobody is angry anymore, so nobody is bothered by what happened that day anymore too." "Besides, we were the ones who were too superficial and despised you first. I'm going to go back later and announce the results of this test. Once I do that, I'm sure the King of Fighters and Sword Saint will have nothing left to say. So you don't have to feel pressurized or anything like that."

Ye Fan nodded. "Thank you so much."

Tang Hao waved his hands and said, "There's no need to thank me. The Chinese martial arts circle has to thank you instead. Some days back, we lost a truly exceptional fighter, and that was really a terrible loss to our martial arts world. But thankfully, we've got another up and coming grandmaster now. Perhaps you're not as powerful as that Chu Tian-Fan now, but I'm sure you will have even more stellar results than him in the future."

"Thanks to you, the martial arts circle of China has become stronger again. The country will now have seven supreme grandmasters, seven pillars! Who would dare to provoke us now? Ye Fan, you're still young, so work hard! The country's future rests on your shoulders. We will be counting on someone from the next generation like yourself to bring the country back to the top of the international martial arts scene!"

After a brief exchange, just like Ye Qing-Tian, Tang Hao had also been convinced by Ye Fan's charisma.

This boy was young, but he was very stable and much more mature than his peers.

Most importantly, he was filled with potential and had become a supreme grandmaster at such a young age.

On top of that, Tang Hao could see some similarities between this boy and Ye Qing-Tian.

His level of decisiveness and fearlessness was very similar to Ye Qing-Tian's.

"Perhaps he's right. My level of ability has been stuck for so many years precisely because I lack this particular characteristic that he and Qing-Tian have. They are both bold, rational, aggressive and constantly moving forward." Tang Hao suddenly started laughing and shaking his head at himself, as a look of self-deprecation spread across his authoritative face.

Tang Hao never thought that despite being a powerful fighter revered by the country for so many years, the day would come when a young man could point out his problems and counsel him.

He had said everything he was supposed to, so after he had explained the entire situation, he turned to leave.

"Heavenly Grandmaster, I still have something I would like to ask you," Ye Fan called after Tang Hao.

"Oh? What do you want to ask?" Tang Hao turned back to look at Ye Fan curiously.

Ye Fan smiled and asked, "It's nothing, really. I just wanted to ask you about a particular person." "Who?" asked Tang Hao in return.

"I heard that out of the six pillars of China, one of them is a female grandmaster. If I remember correctly, she is also known as the Phoenix Empress. Do you know her real name?" asked Ye Fan. Tang Hao's expression fell. "Why are you asking about the Phoenix Empress' real name?"

Ye Fan just laughed. "I'm just curious. If you can't tell me, it's alright. But don't mind me asking one more question - do you know if there is a very powerful martial artist in the international circles with the surname 'Yu' and the name 'Yun'?"

Tang Hao thought about it for a while, then shook his head. "A powerful martial artist named Yu Yun? I've heard of anyone with this name. Perhaps this person isn't powerful enough for me to have heard of her."

Tang Hao was sure that anyone who could make someone in his position to remember the name of had to be really formidable. Since he hadn't heard of any Yu Yun before, it meant that this person's level of ability wasn't high enough for him to know about.

Ye Fan just smiled and didn't say anything.

This Tang Hao could really be conceited when he wanted to. He even said that Yu Yun wasn't powerful enough for him to have heard of her.

Yu Yun was a woman who was so powerful that even Ye Fan was wary of her. Even though he had grasped the Yin Yang Dragon Body now, he still wasn't confident of defeating this woman. Tang Hao couldn't even defeat Ye Fan, never mind Yu Yun.

If Tang Hao had never heard of Yu Yun before, then either Yu Yun was way too mysterious and therefore unknown, or her status was so high that Tang Hao had no right to know who she was. In any case, since Tang Hao didn't know who she was, Ye Fan didn't probe any further and saw him out.

Before leaving, Tang Hao paused for a while and explained, "Ye Fan, it's not that I don't want to tell you what the Phoenix

Empress' real name is. But we've all promised to help her to keep it a secret. I'm sure you understand. Sometimes, martial artists don't want others to know their ordinary identities."

Ye Fan nodded. "I understand."

Competition and fights between martial artists could be very cruel. Knowledge of a martial artist's ordinary identity could cost his loved ones their lives.

As a result, most powerful martial artists just went by a nickname and never revealed their real names.

After Tang Hao left, the house fell silent again. The night quickly passed.

The next day, Ye Fan called Li Er in to see him.

"Mr Chu, you...you're looking for me?"

Li Er still seemed terrified from what happened the night before and was still fearful when he met with Ye Fan. The amount of authoritativeness that Ye Fan had displayed over the past few days had been terribly frightening.

Even though Li Er had known Ye Fan for a long time now, he still felt like he was treading on thin ice whenever he was faced with Ye Fan.

He finally began to understand why the old Chinese saying said that being close to the emperor was the same as being close to a tiger.

"Make some preparations. Two days later, on 1 st July, I'm going to hold another wedding with Mu-Cheng at Haiyuan Restaurant. I'll leave the wedding preparations in your hands. Are you able to do it?" asked Ye Fan calmly as he sipped his tea at the table.

Li Er was shocked for a moment.,

"What? Mr Chu, you're going to hold another wedding with Miss Qiu at this time? I'm afraid it's not a good time to do something like this. I'm afraid that someone might make trouble for you on the day of the wedding."
