A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1517 Mysterious Elder

"Young Master, my injuries healed a long time ago. I can kill a bull with one punch again now! Guarding Yanjing for you isn't a problem anymore, so you really don't have to worry about me anymore." Tong Shan grinned as he laughed foolishly.

This man was more than two meters tall, but he was as honest as a child in front of Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shook his head and laughed at the tall but silly boy in front of him. "You silly fellow, what do you mean by it isn't a problem anymore? What you've lost is your future in martial arts! I went to Japan back then to avenge you, but with Tsukuyomi's rebirth, I wasn't able to kill that Mochizuki Kawa for you."

He was reminded of many old memories when he saw these old friends of his, and he eventually let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, it's all in the past, so I won't mention it anymore. If I manage to come back alive, I'll make sure I find a way to cure your ailment even if I have to travel the world for a doctor," said Ye Fan in a low voice. He sounded strangely solemn and determined.

This was his promise and also his responsibility.

Back then, Tong Shan had followed him in order to fulfil a bigger dream.

But now, Tong Shan's future had been curtailed in a bid to protect his loved ones.

It was hard for Ye Fan to not feel guilty.

But Ye Fan didn't dare to promise too much either.

He didn't know if would survive the next part of his journey.

"Young Master, what do you mean by that? Have you run into trouble? Why do you speak like that?"

Both Tong Shan and Qing Tan were shocked by Ye Fan's words.

Xu Lei turned with a start to look at Ye Fan too. The worry in her eyes increased.

"Haha, it's nothing really. What trouble could I be in? Others might not know what I'm capable of, but you know very well what I can do. Alright now, we can catch up later. I've got to settle this eyesore here first." Ye Fan seemed unwilling to dwell on this topic, so he quickly changed the topic and shifted the focus back to Wei Luo.

"What do you think, Young Master Wei? Do you still think that I don't deserve to be the king of Yanjing? Do you still dare to make myself and Lei apologize to you?" Ye Fan smiled calmly. The mocking in his voice was so apparent.

Ye Yu-Yan, Xue Ren-Yang and the rest looked at Wei Luo with pitiful glances.

In their opinion, this previously high and mighty Young Master Wei was cornered, so he was now like a piece of meat on the chopping board, and could only wait to be hacked to pieces by Ye Fan. But the fear and panic that they imagined would engulf Wei Luo did not happen.

Instead, Wei Luo clenched his fists and a sinister look appeared on his handsome face. "Excellent, Ye Fan. You've really made me look at you in a different light. But all of this shall come to an end now. I will show you what the Wei family of Zhonghai is truly made of!"

He shook his head and continued, "I didn't intend to call upon him, but Ye Fan, you asked for it! I'm going to make you understand what real power looks like, and how despair feels like!"

With that, Wei Luo's expression turned icy as he spun around and shouted loudly towards the outside of the estate, "Elder Kong, I'll leave the rest to you!"

He cupped his fists and bowed slightly towards the entrance. His voice was bright and respectful, and he looked very humble now.

What?

"This Wei Luo still has another backup plan?" Xu Lei frowned immediately.

Ye Yu-Yan and the rest had grim

expressions on their faces too.

The Xu family was surprised too.

Nobody expected Wei Luo to have hidden so many trump cards.

"Looks like Young Master Wei had prepared himself well for this trip to Yanjing," murmured the Xu family quietly among themselves. They turned to glance in the same direction as Wei Luo. One second passed.

Two seconds.

Ten seconds later, the space in front of the house remained empty. Nobody appeared.

"What's going on? There's nobody out there. Did something happen?" Xu Wen-Qing and his family were dismayed at this.

After all, Wei Luo's methods against Ye Fan had all failed so far, and they were really afraid that Wei Luo's last trump card would turn out to be a farce.

"Young Master Wei, do you really have someone coming?" Xu Wen-Qing asked Wei Luo quietly out of worry. He looked very worried.

They had driven Xu Lei out from the family, so they had fallen out with Ye Fan.

The Xu family was now in the same boat as Wei Luo. If Wei Luo won, they would win. But if Wei Luo lost, they would suffer too.

If Wei Luo did not manage to defeat Ye Fan today, they were going to going to perish for sure.

It was only natural for the Xu family to worry if Wei Luo really had anymore trump cards or not.

Just after Xu Wen-Qing raised his doubts, a wind started gusting outside the house.

The billowing wintry wind sounded like the roar of demons as it blew loudly.

Fallen leaves were blown about and dust was sent flying.

"What on earth..."

"What's happening?"

The sudden change caused everyone in the hall to feel shock and fear.

"Look out there! What's that? Is that a human?" someone in the hall exclaimed suddenly.

Everyone turned to look in the same direction.

Without anyone realizing, a shadow had slowly begun to appear amidst the flying sand and dust.

That was the shadow of an elderly man. His white hair flew wildly in the wind.

His gray robes flapped loudly.

When he appeared, everyone felt a tremendous amount of pressure weigh on them.

Even Tong Shan and the rest with Ye Fan could feel the pressure.

"What a powerful presence! I'm surprised that the Wei family has a martial artist at this level working forthem," murmured Ye Yu-Yan to herself with a grim look in her eye. Tong Shan and Qing Tan couldn't help but become nervous.

But while one side worried, the other side celebrated.

All the worries weighing on the Xu family's mind disappeared with the appearance of this clearly powerful martial artist. They were now filled with glee.

"Young Master Wei is indeed incredible. This man must be an extremely powerful martial artist, since his presence alone is so formidable. The Wei family is indeed a family that has been powerful in Zhonghai for more than a century now. The Xu family will never reach such heights! With such a high level martial artist on our side, that hooligan is doomed for sure! Not even the gods will be able to save him!" The Xu family was so excited.

Their faces and ears were red from the excitement.

It felt like the hero who would be able to turn the tides had come exactly in their moment of greatest despair.

"Luo, tell me, which fellow actually dared to hurt you? Who is this fellow who's tired of living?" an unfeeling voice could be heard from meters away.

The man was still some distance away, but his voice was imposing and firm as it boomed loudly in everyone's ears like thunder.

His voice alone was already so powerful. Everyone was even more reverent towards this man now.

"Elder Kong, I'm really so sorry. I didn't intend to trouble you at all, but I really had no choice. All the strong fighters I brought along have perished. Since there's nothing else I could do, I have no other choice but to humbly request that you help me out," said Wei Luo with a very guilty and apologetic voice.

Elder Kong held a very highly respected position in the Wei family after all.

Even his grandfather, the head of the Wei family, was exceptionally polite to Elder Kong.

Logically speaking, Wei Luo should not have had access to a martial artist of this level.

But this trip to Yanjing was an important one, and Wei Luo was on a mission that had a great impact on the family.

So the Wei family made an exception and got Elder Kong to follow Wei Luo on this trip, so as to protect him from harm.

Since Wei Luo needed his help now, he had to say it as nicely as possible and put Elder Kong on a pedestal.
