A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1381 Visiting Ye Fan's Family

"Even the gods are jealous of prodigies after all. Who would have thought he would become famous only after he has died?" Some were saddened, some were disheartened.

The martial arts world grieved the loss of this bright but short-lived star.

But a man in white continued to wait at the peak of Mount Yan.

He refused to believe that Ye Fan had perished just like that.

Before long, another month quietly went by.

There was still no news about Ye Fan in China.

By this time, a lot of the discussion about Ye Fan had slowly died down.

It wouldn't be long before this name would be forgotten.

This world was always like that. Once something new appeared, it would forget the previous one.

A new topic would replace the previous topic, just like a newcomer would replace the senior.

Since Ye Fan was believed to be dead, only those closest to him would continue to talk about him.

As time passed, the hope that Ye Qing-Tian had was slowly beginning to wane.

"Ye, it's been so long. I'm afraid he's really not coming back anymore."

Two figures stood quietly on top of Mount Yan.

One was dressed elegantly in white.

The other was extremely muscular and had a fierce stare.

The man in white was the leader of China's martial arts, the God of War, Ye Qing-Tian.

The other was also one of the six pillars of China, Heavenly Grandmaster, Tang Hao.

These were the only two members of War God Castle who cared about Ye Fan since they had actually properly interacted with him before.

Ye Qing-Tian didn't respond and just kept quiet.

"Ye, don't you think we should send someone over to visit his family? We should tell them about what we know so far. I heard that Ye Fan's family has sent Lu Tian-He to ask about him many times during this time. We can't keep this from them forever. I think War God Castle ought to send someone over to talk to them. Ye Fan ran into trouble carrying out one of our missions, so we should take some responsibility for it," suggested Tang Hao in a low voice.

Ye Qing-Tian looked even more heavy laden now.

After a long period of silence, he finally let out a long sigh.

"You're right. We can't hide this matter forever. Tell Sword Saint about this and let him send someone to Jiangdong to tell Ye Fan's family exactly what's happened. Also, let them know that they can look for Wa God Castle if they face any difficulties in the future. Even if Ye Fan doesn't come back, China's martial arts circle will continue to protect the Ye family," said Ye Qing-Tian with a heavy heart.

After all, the Chinese martial arts circle had merely lost an outstanding young man. Someone else would eventually rise and become the next genius of War God Castle.

But Ye Fan was everything to his family.

Losing him might mean losing their entire world.

So Ye Qing-Tian refused to let anyone inform Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Xi-Mei.

He continued to wait and hoped for a miracle.

But it looked like that miracle wasn't going

to happen.

Since that was the case, it was high time to tell Ye Fan's family about what happened.

'TH get it done now." Tang Hao nodded and left to make arrangements.

"What? Tang Hao, you want to go to Jiangdong personally just to visit a mere junior's widow? Aren't you going over the top with this? This is not appropriate. It really isn't."

The moment Tang Hao told the rest of War God Castle that he was bringing a team to Jiangdong to inform Ye Fan's family about what happened, the rest of War God Castle immediately objected.

"What do you mean by it's not appropriate? Have you forgotten why Ye Fan ended up in this predicament? He's sacrificed himself for the country and he's lost his life for this nation. Going over the top ought to be the way to go! I don't think it's

inappropriate at all," retorted Tang Hao.

"Do you know how many people sacrifice themselves for this country? You're going to lead a team personally to visit a young fellow's widow, then what about the others? Are you going to visit them personally as well? If we're going to do things like this, then we don't have to bother about the affairs of the country. We'll just spend our time comforting the children and widows of our fallen martial artists," Mo Gu-Cheng the King of Fighters, argued back.

"You...you're just being unreasonable now!" Tang Hao was infuriated by the King of Fighters' words and started to sound angry.

"Alright, alright, don't fight anymore. Why do all of you always start fighting when it comes to Ye Fan? The last time Qing-Tian threatened to fall out with us, now it's Tang Hao's turn," sighed Sword Saint as he shook his head and broke up the argument.

"But I think that we should follow our usual

procedure on this. We should just stick to what we've always done. We'll send a team to represent China's martial arts circle and War God Castle to Ye Fan's family in Jiangdong. You don't have to go personally. The King of Fighters' words were harsh, but he's right. We lose people during missions all the time, but we've never had a member of War God Castle visit the family after that, so I don't want to create a new precedent. Otherwise, others might accuse us of being unfair."

"But Sword Saint, Ye Fan is a different case. He's a supreme grand..."

Sword Saint cut Tang Hao off, "Enough. Let's close this topic here and follow my instructions. War God Castle has already spent a lot of time on this boy. Now that he has perished, there is no need to waste any more time on him."

Sword Saint waved his hands to tell everyone that they were not to talk about Ye Fan again.

A nation and a powerful faction like theirs ought to be forward looking.

Since Sword Saint had put it this way, there was nothing Tang Hao could say.

He just swallowed everything he meant to say and agreed to follow Sword Saint's arrangements.

"Gu-Cheng, I'll leave the selection of who to go to you. Tang is right too. Ye Fan might be a junior to us, but he's also a supreme grandmaster after all, so it's better to choose someone of a higher rank to go. I think it'll be good if your son, Wu-Ya, could be the team leader. Wu-Ya is the top ranking martial artist in the country after all of us, so he's good enough to go without making any special exceptions for Ye Fan." Sword Saint left this matter to the King of Fighters.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Mo Gu-Cheng accepted this task happily.
