A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1408 A Funeral in Chu Sect

Chandra was not merely well versed in healing and medicine but extremely knowledgeable as well.

Even though Ye Fan had never told her about his Dragon God Body, she had discovered his secret one time when she had to tend to his injuries.

Amongst the martial arts that focused on physical strength and resilience, the Dragon God Body was the most powerful martial arts.

It boosted one's physical strength and strengthened one's resilience against attacks.

That was why Ye Fan had survived multiple devastating attacks.

His resilience was mind-blowing!

"I'm more worried about the dispute between the Dragon Master and Tang Yun, the sect leader of Chu Sect. What's going on between the both of them? You said that Tang Yun stabbed the Dragon Master with her sword. She must have intended to kill him. But you said that she brought him medicine after wounding him. Does she want the Dragon Master dead or alive?" Chandra frowned as she voiced the question that had been occupying her mind.

Gaia shook his head.

"I couldn't figure that out either. The Dragon Master killed one of Chu Sect's elders. Based on what I know of Chu Sect, they should have tried to kill the Dragon Master and his family to avenge their elder's death. But the sect leader ended up giving us medicine to save the Dragon Master. It's as if she doesn't want him dead at all. Women are mysterious creatures. You never know what they're thinking," sighed Gaia. He seemed utterly confused.

Chandra burst out into soft laughter suddenly.

Her laughter was the sound of windchimes, the sound of a thousand birds singing. It was beautiful.

"There's nothing mysterious about her reasons. She tried to kill the Dragon Master because it was her duty to do so and I guess she saved him because she has feelings for him."

"Feelings...?" Gaia was stunned. He shivered uncontrollably and widened his eyes. Incredulity was clear on his face. "Are you telling me that the sect leader of Chu Sect fell for our Dragon Master? That's impossible. Everyone knows how heartless Tang Yun is. Her heart is as cold as a stone. She's not the type to fall in love with anyone. It's just not possible."

Gaia shook his head profusely. He didn't believe it at all. What Chandra had just said sounded preposterous.

The idea of the most powerful martial artist in the world and the leader of the most powerful sect in the world being in love with a young man felt absolutely outrageous.

Chandra didn't seem as visibly affected as Gaia. She turned and stared at the hut, where Ye Fan was currently residing in, and spoke softly. "We're human. That means we have emotions. No matter how powerful Tang Yun is, she's still human and a woman, and there's going to be a man out there whom she'll fall in love with. Young ladies from rich families fall in love, princesses from royal families fall in love, and so does Tang Yun. Of course, some people will wait a lifetime and never meet the person whom they are meant for."

Her voice was the quiet and slow trickling of a stream. Hidden within that gentleness was an unfathomable emotion.

Gaia appeared to have caught the hint of emotion in her voice. He snickered mischievously and eyed her with a strange teasing look. "Why, is there a young man out there who makes the Great Healer Chandra's heart race? I wonder which lucky man was fortunate enough to earn the love of our Great Healer?"

Gaia wiggled his eyebrows and grinned cheekily at Chandra.

The young healer appeared embarrassed, as if someone had just spied upon her

innermost thoughts.

"Stop talking rubbish," she said hastily. "I was talking about Tang Yun, not me!"

"I see. I didn't expect such shyness from the calm and composed Great Healer Chandra. Don't worry, I won't tell the Dragon Master that our lovely healer has a crush on him," laughed Gaia. "That's...complete rubbish!" Chandra flushed. In a fit of embarrassment, she picked up a pebble on the ground and threw it at Gaia.

"Oh dear, did I stumble upon someone's little secret? Is that why you're mad?"

Gaia wouldn't stop teasing Chandra.

He enjoyed teasing these youngsters. It was one of the few things in life that he found enjoyable.

While Gaia and Chandra waited for Ye Fan to wake up, Chu Sect was busy holding a grand funeral.

Chu Sect had incurred many casualties whilst they had been in the Amazon rainforest.

They had lost two elders.

The five Black Guardians that Chu Qi-Tian had brought with him to the South American continent had either suffered serious injury or had been killed. They had not suffered such serious losses for decades.

The elders had been outraged when they had found out about the casualties that they had incurred.

They had urged Tang Yun to send martial artists after Ye Fan and to kill Ye Fan and avenge the death of their comrades.

They would present Ye Fan's head as an offering to their dead.

However, despite months of searching, they had not located any traces of Ye Fan.

Left with no other choice, they had decided to hold a funeral for their dead. After the funeral, they would decide how to get their hands on Ye Fan.

"What an insult to our sect!"

"Chu Sect has not suffered such dishonor for decades!"

"We should gather our men and charge into China. We should force War God Castle to hand Ye Fan over!"

"We can't have our elders die for nothing!"

Many at the funeral could not contain their fury.

Chu Sect was the most powerful martial arts sect in the world. They were used to having their way.

But someone had just killed their elders. Naturally, many in the sect felt upset.

"Young Master Chu, you're the future head of the Chu family and a disciple of the sect leader. Your words mean something.

Please talk to the elders and the sect

leader," a few members of Chu Sect said furiously.

Chu Qi-Tian merely shook his head and sighed heavily. "Do you think I've not tried? It's of no use. Our sect leader doesn't want to cause a commotion. She believes that we should seek vengeance where vengeance is due. There's no need to drag War God Castle or Ye Fan's family into the picture. The sect leader's given the word, what else can I do? All I can do is send more men to hunt down Ye Fan. But Ye Fan took our sect leader's blade to his chest. That blow was infused with a lethal frost. I managed to sneak another attack on him too. He probably didn't survive. We just don't know where the Chinese martial arts circle buried him."

Chu Qi-Tian seemed convinced that Ye Fan was dead.

After all, War God Castle had announced news of his death. Ye Fan had suffered multiple injuries that day before being stabbed by Tang Yun.

In fact, Tang Yun's attack alone would have

killed him.

"I don't understand at all. When did our sect leader become so cautious? Sect Leader Tang Yun never bothered about the repercussions and killed whomever she wanted in the past. She was such a brave and fearless warrior. Why is she practicing prudence now? This isn't like her at all." The men around Chu Qi-Tian sighed heavily and shook their heads.
