A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1239 Storm Brewing

Lv Hua was a hot tempered one in the first place.

He was already unhappy that Ye Fan was part of this mission. Nobody wanted a useless team mate on their team after all.

If Ye Fan was useful in some other way, then Lv Hua wouldn't have been so angry.

But now Ye Fan was just pretending not to hear him when he told Ye Fan to refill the tea, so Lv Hua immediately flew into a rage.

"You're just a bloody young brat! How dare you put on airs! You're the youngest one in this plane! Is it so hard to get us tea? Besides, you're just a lowly country bumpkin, so how dare you act high and mighty in front of us?" roared Lv Hua as he got up and got ready to bash Ye Fan up.

Thankfully, Lu Yan-Xi pulled him back in time. "Lv Hua, calm down! We're on a plane! We're thousands of meters in the air now, so if anything happens, we're all going to die. This youngster is just immature, so why bother getting angry

with him?"

Kong Ming opened his eyes as well and barked at Lv Hua sternly, "Lv Hua, sit down! We haven't reached South America yet and you're going to start an internal fight already? How dare you attempt to fight on a plane? Would you rather die?"

Lv Hua was indignant and tried to defend himself, "But Elder Kong, he..."

"Enough. Shut up and sit down." Kong Ming cut him off and told him to just stay put.

After that, Kong Ming looked at Ye Fan. "Your name is Ye Fan, right? Logically speaking, someone your age should not have been eligible to join this mission. But I suppose War God Castle has allowed you to come along in order to broaden your horizons and see more of the world. Since you're here to do that, then you ought to be humble and teachable."

"Lv Hua is from a martial arts family, so he is a respectable man with a good foundation, and his gifting is definitely one of the top five in the country among the younger generation. He's also one of the ten youths that War God Castle is actively grooming. Back then, he crushed two imminent grandmasters singlehandedly!"

"He's a very formidable fighter and has plenty of experience in fighting, so he's more than fit to be your senior. Why do you find refilling a teapot for a senior so difficult?" asked Kong Ming in a low and frosty voice.

Ye Fan didn't say anything and just bowed his head as he sat alone on the other side of the plane.

Kong Ming thought that Ye Fan was hanging his head in guilt, so his tone softened, "Since you already know that you're in the wrong, I won't reprimand you anymore. Go and pour Lv Hua a cup of tea as way o apology."

But Ye Fan didn't budge.

"Hurry up and pour him the tea!" snapped Kong Ming a little unhappily.

Ye Fan finally broke his silence with a laugh. "Pour tea for him to apologize? Even you aren't fit to receive such an apology from me, what more him? If he wants to drink tea, then he can pour himself a cup. If he wants me to serve him, then he can chop both his arms off first, and I might show him some pity since he can't help himself."

"How dare you! What an arrogant and audacious punk! How dare you insult me as well!" roared Kong Ming furiously as he glared sternly at Ye Fan. Those words had clearly infuriated him.

Kong Ming wasn't too angry when the two younger ones got into a conflict earlier because Ye Fan was just young and immature. But he didn't expect this young man to be audacious enough to completely disregard him as well.

Ye Fan chuckled and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just like to speak my mind."

Ye Fan then turned away and continued to enjoy his tea.

"Why you!" Kong Ming saw how obstinate and unteachable Ye Fan was behaving and nearly burst in fury. His face was livid.

"Elder Kong, see?! I'm not the petty one and I'm not trying to make things difficult for him. This boy is really audacious and doesn't know what's good for him at all. If you ask me, a bastard like him should just be thrown right out of the plane! Send him back to where he belongs! Otherwise, even if we don't die during this trip, we might get dragged down by him!" hissed Lv Hua viciously.

He actually suggested throwing Ye Fan out of the plane. That was how much hate he had for Ye Fan.

There were times when Ye Fan really didn't know why other people were so jealous and hateful of him.

Qiu Mu-Ying used to be like this to him, and later Lin Qing-He treated him this way too. He had barely known Lv Hua for a day, but he was already so prejudiced against him. Was it just because he had an ordinary background?

Was it just because he had refused to do what Lv Hua told him to do?

Was it just because he hadn't tried to ingratiate himself to Lv Hua?

Ye Fan couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to either.

To him, people like Lv Hua were just unworthy ants.

How they treated him, what attitude they had towards him and the way they ostracized him didn't bother Ye Fan at all.

He only cared about his own friends and family.

So regardless of how Lv Hua and the rest despised and mocked him, Ye Fan remained completely unaffected.

Kong Ming eventually just waved his hands. "Forget it, we're now on a flight, and there's really no need to stoop to his level.

We'll talk again when we reach our destination."

"Tsk, so annoying! How did we end up travelling with someone like that!" Since Kong Ming put a stop to the whole things, Lv Hua sat back down again. He didn't attack Ye Fan anymore, but he continued to mutter under his breath in a clearly disgusted tone of voice.

Nobody bothered about Ye Fan for the rest of the flight.

It was nearly sunset by the time Ye Fan and the team reached South America.

They were actually headed for the Amazon rainforest.

The Amazon rainforest covered half the amount of rainforest the world had, and 20% of the world's forests. It was the largest tropical rainforest with the highest biodiversity in the world, so it was commonly known as 'the lungs of the earth' and a 'green heart'.

Perhaps due to the low human inhabitation of the forest, this rainforest managed to preserve itself well. The forest was dense with many varieties of plants and animals, and it was also known as the 'world kingdom of flora and fauna'.

"Only such an environment would be able to nurture a plant as magical as a spirit energy fruit."

"If not for a martial artist back then who stumbled upon these trees, we wouldn't have known that such an incredible fruit exists."

Ye Fan and his team had already alighted from the plane.

Since it was already evening time, they decided to eat somewhere nearby before staying at a hotel.

They were going to enter the Amazon rainforest to search for the spirit energy fruit the next day.

But Ye Fan had no idea that by the time they arrived in South America, large numbers of martial arts powers and teams from various countries had already arrived.

A huge group of highly skilled martial artists had gathered within South America. An invisible storm was beginning to brew.
