A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1236 Make a Fool Out of Us

"That's right. I'm Mr Chu."

Lu Yan-Xi and Lv Hua were still in shock as they stood at the bungalow door.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan carried his bowl of dumplings and ate them while smiling nonchalantly.

The people of Jiangdong had a custom of eating dumplings before a loved one had to go on a long journey.

Since Ye Fan was going to South America for a while, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan decided to make dumplings before his flight.

But this process didn't go smoothly at all.

Teaching someone who knew almost nothing about cooking to make dumplings was no small feat. Ye Fan felt that this was no less difficult than a fight with a grandmaster.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng insisted on learning and wanted to make sure Ye Fan got to eat the dumplings she made before he left.

After spending half the day making them, they finally managed to put dinner together.

Their timing was just right. They had just finished preparing dinner when Lu Yan-Xi and Lv Hua turned up.

Ye Fan was still wearing his pink apron and there was some flour on his sleeve. He looked like a perfect househusband.

"Have you guys eaten? Do you two want a bowl of dumplings too?" asked Ye Fan warmly.

"Dumplings?! Dumplings my ass!" Lv Hua had finally snapped out of his initial shock.

The two of them looked at Ye Fan in disbelief as their expressions darkened. They simply couldn't believe that War God Castle would allow such a young person to be part of this mission.

"Are you trying to make a fool out of us? Why do I need to come all the way here to pay a young punk like you a visit personally? I really don't understand what War God Castle is thinking about." Lv Hua was clearly extremely displeased about this matter.

This was going to be an extremely dangerous mission, so he naturally hoped that every participant was a martial artist who could hold their own fort.

He didn't expect every person to be as highly skilled or respected as Kong Ming, but at the very least, each person should not become a burden to the others.

But now, War God Castle had actually agreed to let this youngster to join their team.

Worse still, War God Castle even got the three of them to pay this fellow a personal visit.

"Thank goodness Elder Kong didn't come along. He would have died from being too angry if he did!" snarled Lv Hua before turning to storm off.

"What's wrong with him? Woke up on the wrong side of the bed? If he doesn't want to eat any, he can just say so. Why throw such a huge tantrum? Besides, these were made for me by my wife, so I wouldn't want to share them with him if I could."

Ye Fan didn't get angry at all and still had a faint smile on his face, as if nothing had happened. He didn't take this to heart at all.

"What about you? Would you like to try my wife's cooking? It's really not bad for her first time making dumplings," Ye Fan sounded like he was showing off as he praised Qiu Mu-Cheng in front of others. "I'm not interested."

Lu Yan-Xi obviously didn't have much regard for Ye Fan either.

Once she saw how young Ye Fan was, all the anticipation and respect she had earlier dissipated altogether.

This young man was completely different from the 'Old Mr Chu' she had imagined earlier.

She thought that someone whom her father admired so much would definitely be at least a senior in martial arts who was refined and emanated a great aura of authority.

She had imagined him to be a very imposing and impressive man, but reality had shattered everything.

It never crossed her mind that the 'Old Mr Chu' she was expecting would turn out to be this rather flippant and poorly dressed young man.

If her father didn't know this Mr Chu, she would probably have stormed off like Lv Hua did.

This Ye Fan was really too young after all. Most people associated youth with being weak and unreliable.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat any? You won't be able to find this anywhere else, you know," said Ye Fan in a teasing voice.

"Look, I don't have time to waste on small talk like this. Once you're done with dinner, head for Jianghai International Airport immediately and we'll be waiting for you there. If you don't get there before 10PM tonight, then you don't have to be part of this mission. Do you understand what I just said..." Lu Yan-Xi wasn't done talking when Qiu Mu-Cheng yelled for Ye Fan from inside the bungalow. "Alright dear! I'll be there in a minute!"

"Uh...please excuse me, my wife is calling for me and I have to run over now, otherwise she's going to make me kneel on the washboard!" Ye Fan hastily replied Lu Yan-Xi before running back into the house and disregarding whatever else Lu Yan-Xi wanted to say.

"You......." Lu Yan-Xi was going to die from being so frustrated.

She hadn't finished her instructions and Ye Fan just ran off!

"Tsk! He's also a coward who's henpecked?! What sort of strange team mate is this?!" cursed Lu Yan-Xi under her breath as her expression darkened.

She hated henpecked cowards the most.

She felt that they weren't manly and were no different from womenfolk.

Only those who were brave and authoritative would become successful. A weakling like Ye Fan was destined to be a failure all his life.

"Forget it, he can come if he wants to. It doesn't matter whether he joins us or not anyway." Lu Yan-Xi didn't bother to check if Ye Fan understood her instructions about meeting them in Jianghai. After Ye Fan ran back into the house, she left the house as well.

Back in Jianghai, Kong Ming had been waiting for quite a while, only to see that Lu Yan-Xi and Lv Hua had returned without a third person. He immediately frowned.

"What's going on? Where's Old Mr Chu? Didn't you two invite him to come as well?"

Invite my ass!" Lv Hua was too angry to sound polite. "Elder Kong, this Mr Chu is just a stupid youngster! And he's a coward who's afraid of his wife! When we arrived at his place, he was still wearing an apron and doing the chores for his wife! We were trying to talk about something serious, but he went running back in the moment his wife called him! Just like a little dog!"

"What the hell is this?! How could a man fear his wife to this extent? What a disgrace to us men! I have no idea why the higher-ups chose such a person to be part of the team. He's definitely going to end up being a burden to us instead. And they even wanted us to come all the way to Jiangdong to pick him up personally? Who does he think he is?" Lv Hua grumbled without even pausing to breathe. He was so furious.

"Oh? He's a young man?" Kong Ming was clearly surprised about this as well, and began to guess why War God Castle would make such an arrangement.

"Elder Kong, I think we shouldn't wait anymore. The three of us can make the trip ourselves. If we bring such a person along, he'd only become a burden to us."

Ye Qing-Tian didn't tell the three of them anything about what Ye Fan was capable of.

After all, it was best to keep this trump card as hidden as possible. That would make this cover up more convincing.

If anyone found out who Ye Fan really was, then the rest of the martial artists from around the world would join hands and fight them.
