A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1531

The secondary Invoke the Celestial Sky Formation was complete the moment Ye Fan activated it.

This defense formation used Yasakani Jade as a source of power and could go for miles.

The secondary formations in Yanjing and Jingzhou stood on the East and the West to guard the main formation in Yunzhou.

They were like faithful sentries guarding their king.

Ye Fan wanted to make three formations. Yunzhou would be used for the main formation with two other secondary formations to support it.

Perhaps the secondary formations couldn't compare to the main one, but it was enough to protect them from most dangers.

After Ye Fan showed them his true powers, the Xu and Wei families submitted entirely to him.

Everyone knelt on the ground, begging for Ye Fan's forgiveness.

"Forgiveness?" sneered Ye Fan.

"Now you want forgiveness? Why didn't it cross your mind when you attacked me?"

Ye Fan's cold voice rang in the halls once more.

Everyone panicked and hung their heads without daring to say a word.

Ye Fan ignored them and turned to leave.

Xu Lei, Ye Yu-Yan, and the others left with Ye Fan.

However, Ye Fan didn't leave the Xu house. Instead, he took a stroll in the yard with Xu Lei.

"Fan, what was all that gold light earlier? It looked amazing. You are really incredible!"

A gentle breeze swept through the yard.

The flowers in the pond swayed from side to side.

Ye Fan and Xu Lei walked down the pavement in the yard slowly.

Xu Lei didn't look like the head of an elite family anymore.

In front of Ye Fan, she was like a fangirl with admiration in her eyes.

"Lei, you won't understand even if I tried to tell you. You just have to know that it is there for your protection. Remember, if you encounter any danger from now on, just run home. Unless the attackers are stronger than a supreme grandmaster, no one can touch you! However, there are limitations to the formation in Yanjing. If the enemy is too powerful and the formation can't keep you safe, go to Mu-Cheng at Mount Yunding in Yunzhou. You will be safe if you hide there."

The Xu estate had reverted to normal.

After the formation was activated, it faded.

The boundless gold light scattered as swiftly as it came and disappeared without a trace.

Such formations couldn't be active at all times and were only activated when their users when in danger.

Ye Fan explained how to use the formation to Xu Lei.

After Xu Lei heard what he said, she felt warm in her heart.

Only this young man cared about her in the entire world.

"Thanks for thinking about me, Fan." Xu Lei smiled brightly with bliss and joy in her eyes.

Xu Lei's love for Ye Fan surged from her eyes.

The more Xu Lei acted this way, the more worried Ye Fan became.

All these years, Ye Fan rarely visited Xu Lei or even contacted her, so Xu Lei thought

he was deliberately keeping a distance.

In reality, Ye Fan was doing just that.

He really hoped that Xu Lei could get over him and find someone to spend the rest of her life with.

Ye Fan was keenly aware that he couldn't give Xu Lei what she wanted.

He was burdened with a mission.

Even if he came back alive from Chu Sect, he couldn't give Xu Lei what she wanted.

The time had passed for that, and there was no turning back.

Ye Fan couldn't betray the girl waiting for him to come home in Yunzhou for the sake of Xu Lei.

"Fan, what's on your mind? Why aren't you talking?" asked Xu Lei with a smile instantly when Ye Fan fell into a brief silence.

Ye Fan shook his head gently as he smiled and replied, "Nothing. I was just thinking about finding you a man. You aren't getting any younger, so you can't stay single indefinitely. After all, you are a girl, so you need a shoulder to lean on. Although I can still protect you for now, I can't do it for the rest of your life."

Xu Lei's eyes instantly dimmed.

She was an understanding girl, so she continued to smile as she scoffed and joked, "Humph! So you find me troublesome now? Are you trying to marry me off so that you can have some peace and quiet?" "No, I'm not." Ye Fan shrugged before he explained anxiously, "You are the last person that I would find a bother. I just think that it was time for you to have a family of your own. Humans are afraid of being alone, so you need a thoughtful companion. Since no one is keeping an eye out for you, I must do it." "Okay. I'm waiting for you to help me find a man," said Xu Lei with a smile. "Tell me what's your type."

"Well..." Xu Lei slightly frowned as she contemplated. "My man has to be better than you."

"Huh? Then you will never end up married."

"Heehee!" Xu Lei was instantly tickled.

"Fan, you're such a narcissist."

"Enough. Stop joking and tell me what do you want in a partner? Does he have to be handsome, tall, and lean?"

"I'm not joking. He has to be better than you."

Ye Fan was instantly struck speechless and rolled his eyes at Xu Lei.

No wonder she hadn't dated anyone all these years. How could she find anyone with such high standards?

"Then it looks like you'll have to stay single." Ye Fan raised his hand and hit her head hard before he spoke impatiently. He was clearly annoyed by her.

Sure enough, there was always a reason why people stayed single.

Although Ye Fan was pissed off, Xu Lei chuckled nonstop and seemed delighted at making Ye Fan become speechless.

"You terrible girl, you'll only stop after you drive me up the wall, right? Never mind. Let me take you out for some fun. After I leave, I don't know when I will come back. I want to spend some time with you while have the time." Ye Fan sighed powerlessly.

Barely any women were capable of making Ye Fan helpless, and Xu Lei was certainly one of them.

"Hmm? Where are you going? What do you have to do? Is it dangerous? When are you coming back?" Xu Lei immediately asked a string of questions anxiously.

Ye Fan didn't tell Xu Lei the truth and just gave her some excuse.

He planned on taking Xu Lei to visit some Yanjing tourist locations.

He wanted to see the sights of his beloved country before he left and take the chance to hang out with the girl.

"Why are they still here?"

The moment Ye Fan stepped out of the door, he found that everyone was still kneeling outside.

They were none other than the Wei and Xu families who had provoked Ye Fan previously.

Even though Tong Shan had driven them out of the estate, they refused to leave and knelt at the entrance instead.

Some passersby had gathered to look, so the Xu estate entrance was swarming with people and impassable.

"Dragon Master, they said they're going to kneel until you forgive them," reported Xue Ren-Yang.

Ye Fan sneered, "Let them continue kneeling then. Bring the car over. I am taking Lei out."
