A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1698

In this world, there were some people who were able to radiate a commanding presence just by standing there without saying a word.

The lady in purple was one of them. The moment she appeared, everyone's attention fell upon her at once.

"T-That is Ms. Tang?"

When they realized who it was, the members of Chu Sect were undoubtedly delighted.

The Chu Sect elders especially hurried forward to greet her.

"Ms. Tang, you're finally here. Where have you been all this while? If you had arrived any later, the Chu Sect's territory would have already been flattened," the head of Chu Sect elders enquired. "That's right, Ms. Tang. You have come at the right time. Please help the Chu family eradicate these b*stards!" Chu Zhengliang pleaded for her assistance as if he had seen his savior. Unfortunately, not everyone shared their sentiments.

When Gaius and his men saw the Chu Sect members invigorated by Tang Yun's presence, they began to fall into despair.

"Damn it! Why did Tang Yun have to appear right now? This is going to be troublesome."

Gaius was understandably concerned, as their numbers were barely enough to hold the Chu Sect elders off.

With Tang Yun joining the fray, they no longer stood any chance of victory.

Not only could Tang Yun single-handedly kill Ye Fan, but she could also annihilate the four Dragon Slayers easily.

Even though the four of them had managed to recharge their elemental force earlier, it was only sufficient to unleash the Ice Fire Dragon one more time. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to deal with the change in circumstances.

Gaius' reaction aside, Ye Fan too narrowed his gaze when he saw Tang Yun.

The haggard face of his was suddenly filled with mixed emotions.

Meanwhile, Tang Yun returned his gaze when she sensed that he was looking at her.

The moment their eyes locked, Tang Yun felt a jolt in the depths of her heart that stunned her momentarily.

Nevertheless, both of them didn't speak and pretended as if they were strangers to one another.

Despite briefly losing her composure, Tang Yun quickly shifted her gaze away from Ye Fan and turned it upon Chu Yuan, who was standing in front of the Chu residence entrance.

"Master?"

Tang Yun was stunned by the sight of Chu Yuan, as she could barely recognize him by his appearance.

However, she could still sense his familiar aura.

When he saw how surprised Tang Yun was, Chu Yuan greeted, "Yun, it's been a while. You have grown to look more outstanding than you used to be."

Having been reunited with his favorite disciple, Chu Yuan felt his anger diminish as a warm smile broke out on his face.

"Master, is it really you? H-Have you successfully passed your trial?"

Initially, Tang Yun was reluctant to acknowledge Chu Yuan.

It wasn't until she was absolutely sure that the spritely old man was her master to whom she was indebted to did she approach him excitedly.

"Greetings, Master!" Tang Yun greeted.

Chu Yuan burst into hearty laughter.

"Yun, come over here. We can catch up later. But now, join me as I eradicate the enemies in front of our eyes. I will occupy Moon God of Japan while the Chu Sect elders will deal with the Supreme warriors. As for you, you will annihilate that b*stard from China."

While giving out instructions, Chu Yuan's gaze fell upon Ye Fan.

"Master, what happened?" Tang Yun was slightly unsettled.

"Isn't it obvious? Look at the bloodshed and devastation in front of you. It's all caused by that b*stard. If not for Moon God's protection, I would

have already slaughtered him myself," Chu Yuan ranted.

The moment he mentioned Ye Fan, he clenched his fists in rage.

"Master, what is going on? How did all of you end up in such a massive conflict?"

Just when everyone assumed that Tang Yun would attack right after receiving Chu Yuan's command, they were taken aback when she began to inquire about the details especially since she had always been a woman of few words.

"Yun, we'll talk about it later. For now, let's kill him first!"

Visibly upset, Chu Yuan didn't answer Tang Yun's question. Instead, he kept urging her to attack.

Realizing that she wouldn't get her answer, Tang Yun stopped pestering Chu Yuan.

Subsequently, she turned around and trained her gaze in Ye Fan's direction.

At that moment, Ye Fan had his wounds under control with Junie's assistance. Nonetheless, his breath was still weak, as he needed a lot more time to recover from the injuries Chu Yuan had dealt him. The wound in his chest in particular was exceptionally serious.

"Ye Fan, you decided to come in the end."

A few months had passed since they went their separate ways at the Chu residence.

Consequently, the first words uttered upon being reunited were exceptionally cold and distant.

"What sort of grudge do you hold against the Chu family for you to massacre everyone here indiscriminately?"

Tang Yun finally got the burning question she had off her chest.

Ye Fan sneered, "I have always been a man of my word. Since I swore that I would come, I would naturally fulfill that promise. As for your question about my motivations? I will reveal it to you today. Ms. Tang, have you heard about a boy in the Chu family named Chu Tianfan thirteen years ago?" "Chu Tianfan?" Tang Yun was briefly stunned.

"Thirteen years ago in the Chu family? Chu Tianfan?"

Given how much time had passed, Tang Yun had a vague impression but it didn't ring any bells right away.

Nevertheless, it took her a while for her deep-seated memories to make the connection with Chu Tianfan's name.

"Can it be that y-you're... his son? The child that was kicked out of the house by Master? That was you?" Tang Yun widened her eyes in shock.

"Just as expected of the head of Chu Sect. You have indeed heard of the Chu family's secret. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. I didn't realize that the old fogey, Chu Yuan, is actually your master! No wonder your loyalty to the Chu Sect and Chu family is unconditional. That aside, you're right to say that I was the abandoned child. The kid who had been kicked out by your master just like an unwanted dog! "After having them hunt me down for the last ten years, I, Chu Tianfan, have come back today to return the favor. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, I must seek justice on behalf of my mom!" Ye Fan declared resolutely as he gave Tang Yun a conflicted

look.

"No, h-how is this possible? H-how can you be his son? And also a member of the Chu family too?"

Having lost her composure, Tang Yun was both confounded and filled with disbelief.

Everything simply felt ridiculous to her.

As Chu Yuan's direct disciple, she was of the same seniority as Ye Fan's father, Chu Zhenghong. Hence, they were both fellow disciples in training.

Furthermore, she was also aware that her elder sister fell deeply in love with Chu Zhenghong.

And now, I and the son of my fellow disciple are...

Consequently, the entire matter felt outrageous to her.

Even though she was a lot younger than her sister and Ye Fan's father, it was still extremely awkward from a seniority perspective, as her relationship with Ye Fan had undoubtedly thrown the hierarchy into a

mess.

Filled with panic, Tang Yun suddenly didn't know how to face her relationship with Ye Fan.
