A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1700

"Chu Tianfan, you leave me no choice!"

As her icy words were filled with rage and hatred, Tang Yun's voice echoed throughout the peak of Mount Chumen.

The next moment, her seven-foot green hilt sword slashed through the air and fired another shockwave at Ye Fan.

In the face of Tang Yun's ruthlessness, Ye Fan didn't dodge nor counter-attack. Instead, he just stood still and stared intently at Tang Yun. "Master, no!"

Just when Tang Yun was about to decisively sever the ties between them, a scream suddenly rang out.

It was Meng Wanyu who was running toward them with an anxious expression.

The next instant, she stopped in front of Ye Fan to shield him.

"Wanyu, what are you doing? Are you disobeying me for his sake?"

Tang Yun couldn't believe that her own disciple would step forward to protect Ye Fan.

When Moon God protected him earlier, it didn't come as a surprise to her.

After all, Moon God had exacted revenge upon Mount Chumen on behalf of Ye Fan before.

Consequently, she could deduce what Moon God's relationship with Ye Fan was.

But why is my favorite disciple behaving the same way? Did that b *stard do something to her?

Holding that that, Tang Yun's eyes burned with rage.

"You b*stard! How dare you go around philandering? It's one thing if you get it on with others, but why must you involve and harm Wanyu? As her master, I swear that I will kill you today!" Staring at Ye Fan, Tang Yun gritted her teeth in outrage as she was overwhelmed by the urge to slaughter him.

That b *stard has not only been with me but also seduced my disciple too!

The thought that Ye Fan had gotten involved with both master and disciple utterly incensed Tang Yun.

"Master, this has nothing to do with Ye Fan. He is a good man and has never mistreated me," Meng Wanyu hurriedly explained, as she didn't expect Tang Yun to have misunderstood. Unfortunately, MengWanyu's attempt to clarify ended up complicating matters and intensifying Tang Yun's fury.

"Why are you pleading for mercy on his behalf? Why do you care for him and sing his praises? Hardly have I left him when you started falling for him. Once I've killed him, I'll be teaching you a lesson next!" Tang Yun exploded.

Just when Tang Yun was about to strike, Angie managed to struggle free from her father and brother while they weren't paying attention. Subsequently, she darted anxiously over to shield Ye Fan too.

"Ms. Tang, I beg of you. Please let Ye Fan go. He's not what you think he is. What happened today isn't his fault. Please, Ms. Tang, don't hurt him. His heart is really in the right place. All he was trying to do was save me."

Angie begged and sobbed at the same time. She looked so pitiful that it was hard for anyone not to be sympathetic.

"You... All of you..."

It was one thing for Meng Wanyu to plead Ye Fan's case, but now, she was also joined by Angie.

Thinking that Ye Fan had taken advantage of the beauties of the Chu Sect, Tang Yun was on the brink of blowing her top.

What's so great about that womanizing b*stard? Why are so many girls willing to sacrifice themselves for him?

After losing her temper briefly, Tang Yun quickly gathered herself.

Looking at Angie and Meng Wanyu, she sneered, "Even if you vouch for him, there's no way I, the head of Chu Sect, can forgive him for slaughtering so many members of the Chu Sect's three families." "But Master, he has his reasons," Meng Wanyu pleaded.

"Reasons?"

"Didn't I say that being kicked out of the Chu family doesn't mean that he can kill indiscriminately?" Tang Yun retorted.

Her words were so resolute that they left no room for doubt.

"Ms. Tang, it isn't his fault. The Chu family were the ones who didn't honor their words first. Ye Fan never intended to kill anyone in the beginning. He was supposed to fight the head of the Chu family in single combat. If he won, the Chu family would travel to China and apologize to his mom which they had agreed to. However, when Ye Fan was victorious, the Chu family not only broke their word but also surrounded and attacked him en masse! Therefore, he was forced to kill them in self-defense. Due to him having the moral high ground, it doesn't matter if he has killed a bunch of Chu family members, as they were the ones who were being unreasonable," Angie related what happened with her cheeks puffing red.

Unfortunately, her words caused the Jones family to be seized by horror.

Bill ran forward and slapped Angie on the face.

"You stupid gal, what are you babbling about? Get out of the way at once!" Bill admonished her. He had no

sooner pulled her aside than Tang Yun stopped him.

"Angie, is what you say true?"

As Tang Yun looked in her direction, the burning rage in her eyes began to dampen.

"It's true, Ms. Tang. If you don't believe me, you can ask the members of the Chu family. Everyone here bore witness to what happened," Angie replied at once.

At that moment, all of Tang Yun's murderous intent dissipated instantly.

Turning toward Chu Yuan, she asked softly, "Master, isn't this a case of the Chu family reneging on the deal?"

Chu Yuan furrowed his brows. "Yun, that's not important."

"No, it's extremely important to me," Tang Yun answered coldly. "As the head of Chu Sect, not only do I have to ensure the security of the sect, I have to maintain its reputation too. I can kill and plunder, but there has to be a basis for it. Master, I'm sorry. I won't do anything that goes against my moral compass and neither will the Chu Sect."

Tang Yun had barely finished speaking when she turned to the crowd without waiting for Chu Yuan's response.

"Members of the Chu Sect, without my permission, none of you are allowed to make a move. Do you understand?" Tang Yun's swept her commanding gaze in every direction.

Given the authority that Tang Yun wielded all this while, none of the Chu Sect elders dared to disobey her.

"You..."

Even though Chu Yuan was outraged by Tang Yun's response, he knew that it wasn't appropriate to lose his temper. After all, he knew Tang Yun was right.

As the sect leader, she couldn't help the Chu family at the expense of the sect's reputation.

Therefore, she had made the right decision from the sect's perspective.

The only persons she could blame were her own incompetent subordinates.

Meanwhile, Gaius and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Tang Yun order the Chu Sect to back down.

"The sect leader is truly wise," Gaius lamented.

Owen smiled thoughtfully instead. "Is she truly wise or does she have her own reasons?"

He then chuckled to himself mischievously.

Upon Tang Yun's restraint, Ye Fan stopped taunting her.

He then turned his attention back to the Chu family and demanded, "Chu Yuan, I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to honor the deal or not?"

His tone was as cold as ice.

Simultaneously, The Five Dragon Gods approached while Moon God looked on as if she was eyeing her prey.

When Chu Yuan felt the overwhelming pressure, he fell into a long silence.

Frustrated by the wait, everyone began to wonder what sort of scheme he was hatching in that mind of his.

Finally, just when Ye Fan was about to lose his patience, Chu Yuan replied, "Fine. Given that we have lost the bet, we will honor our promise to you!"
