A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1541

"Do you know him?" asked Tang Hao quizzically when he noticed Ye Fan's reaction.

"I don't just know him, we're on really great terms. I saved him several times." Ye Fan drank tea as he shook his head and smiled.

"Huh? You saved him before? When? Why haven't I heard about this before from him?"

Tang Hao was undoubtedly surprised to hear this.

This was a good thing.

The King of Fighters hated Ye Fan. If Ye Fan and Mo Wu-Ya were close friends, Ye Fan could use the opportunity to bury the hatchet with the King of Fighters. "Never mind. No point dredging up all this history. I don't expect him to be grateful, but it would be nice if he stopped hating me." Ye Fan chuckled calmly.

Ye Fan wasn't wrong in saying that.

Based on Ye Fan's personality, Mo Wu-Ya should have died after provoking Ye Fan in Japan.

Ye Fan pardoned Mo Wu-Ya on account that he was a fellow countryman, so this was as good as saving him.

Also, if Ye Fan didn't demand that Mo Wu-Ya be spared, Gaia would have slaughtered him.

Hence, Ye Fan had saved Mo Wu-Ya at least twice.

"How could you be in the mood to laugh? You have to heed my warning, okay? You almost died once, but we were able to protect you even though you had a strong opponent. But if Chu Sect is after you, even God of War can't protect you. Your best option is to run into the mountains and hide. They will leave if they can't find you." Tang Hao couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw Ye Fan's nonchalance and spoke with concern.

But Ye Fan said nothing.

He didn't want to explain himself. Even if he did, Tang Hao wouldn't have believed him.

Hence, Ye Fan decided to nod patronizingly before walking Tang Hao out.

"Mr Tang, are you leaving already? The banquet is ready. Why don't you have a bite before you go?" Xu Lei walked out in a long dress and invited Tang Hao in courteously.

Although Xu Lei didn't know martial arts, she figured that he must be an extraordinary man since he was friends with Ye Fan, so she had to show some hospitality.

"Do you see how nice she is? I waited for you all day, and you didn't even offer me dinner. This young lady is far more thoughtful. Other than brute strength, you don't know how to get along with people at all." Tang Hao rolled his eyes angrily at Ye Fan before he smiled and turned down Xu Lei's offer. "Thanks. I still have work to do, so I'll come for dinner another time."

Tang Hao turned to leave.

Ye Fan and Xu Lei saw him out of the estate.

"Enough. You don't have to keep walking me out. Oh yes. If you have no business here, then leave and stop coming. Every time I see you here, I get a headache."

Before he left, Tang Hao reminded Ye Fan to quickly leave Yanjing.

"Also, this girl is not bad. She is pretty, sensible, and thoughtful, so don't let her down."

Despite the short amount of time they spent together, Tang Hao was very impressed with the head of the Xu family.

No wonder Ye Fan liked her.

This Xu Lei had an unusual charm about her.

Xu Lei blushed crimson and lowered her head instantly.

Ye Fan glared at Tang Hao. "Hey. Stop spouting nonsense. She is like a little sister to me."

"Oh? Like a sister and not a lover?" asked Tang Hao candidly.

Ye Fan's expression fell and he nearly threw something at Tang Hao.

"I told you. She is like a sister to me. Why do you also think that we are an item? It seems I have to help Xu Lei find a husband as soon as possible to avoid further misunderstanding. Do you know any nice boys at War God Castle? Can you introduce them to her? If things work out, I will owe you for life." Ye Fan started worrying about Xu Lei's future again.

Tang Hao was instantly interested. "Sure thing. I honestly know quite a number of decent chaps. There must be at least ten outstanding young men at War God Castle alone. If Miss Xu is interested, I can play matchmaker."

"Great!" Ye Fan was delighted. "It's settled then. You will help me find her a boyfriend.

Lei, come over here and thank Heavenly Grandmaster."

Since War God Castle was the highest authority in the Chinese martial arts circle, the young men working for them were top martial artists. They would be the perfect match for Xu Lei.

However, Xu Lei was surprisingly unappreciative. Instead, she sneered, "Humph! Stay out of my business!"

Xu Lei pushed Ye Fan aside and turned to go back to her family.

Ye Fan was left standing there with a stunned look on his face.

"What's with this attitude? He just praised you for being sensible. How could you throw a temper instead?"

"Heavenly Grandmaster, I'm so sorry. Lei isn't usually like that. She usually has a nice personality, so don't take it to heart. Thanks for helping to matchmake her," Ye Fan defended Xu Lei. Instead, Tang Hao patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and smiled thoughtfully. "Let's forget it. She obviously already has someone in mind, so there is no space left in her heart for anyone else." Tang Hao laughed as he left.

Ye Fan just sighed.

With Tang Hao's departure, everything that happened before this came to an end. However, the repercussions from the events that transpired were still brewing.

In just one night, all the elite families heard about what had happened.

"What? The Wei family from Zhonghai knelt for three days before leaving?"

"How is this possible? How could the Xu family have the power to make them bow like that?"

"I heard that the Xu family has a strong backer."

All the powers throughout the country were shocked to hear the news.

Despite their shock, they quickly gave the order not to offend the Xu clan from Yanjing.

With that, the Xu family rose above the Wei family in ranks to become the third most influential family in the country.

By the second day, hordes of guests had arrived at their door.

"Dragon Master, after this crisis, no one will dare to provoke Miss Xu, right?" Xue Ren-Yang chuckled from the side as he reported the political situation in the capital.

Ye Fan sat in the yard on a stone chair as he sipped tea.

He was unsurprised with the outcome.

After all, he had openly challenged the Wei family precisely to achieve this effect.

Now that the deed was done, it was time for him to go.

"Have you told Lei that we are leaving?" Ye Fan turned to look at Ye Yu-Yan as she walked over.

Ye Yu-Yan nodded. "I didn't get to see her, but I told her assistant about it, and she's probably informed her by now."
