A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1714

Being ranked first in the Sky Ranking signified that Ye Fan was recognized as one of the strongest fighters on earth. Nonetheless, that did not mean that no one could surpass Ye Fan.

For instance, the Moon God from Japan and Chu Yuan from the Chu family were stronger than Ye Fan.

Their names weren't included in the Sky Ranking because their prowess was way beyond the Supremes.

Nevertheless, Ye Fan was equally influential in the martial arts world worldwide.

Although Ye Fan was only twenty years old, he had already dominated the Sky Ranking.

Many believed that sooner or later, Ye Fan could enter the god realm.

However, after Ye Fan fell out with the martial arts world in China, the Hall Master of the War God Castle had expelled him.

Therefore, now was the perfect time for the martial arts masters in other countries, including Aaron, to befriend him.

Ye Fan didn't shut the guests out but asked his subordinates to prepare good food forthem.

"All guests are welcome. They respected me by coming far away from different countries to China to join my grandad's birthday party. As such, we have to serve them well. Convey my message to the others. Let them enter Jiangdong. Of course, those from the War God Castle are excluded."

Ye Fan instructed Gaius while making some tea in the Ye residence.

Upon hearing it, Gaius and the rest nodded and left to execute it right away.

Not long after that, the martial arts masters were allowed to enter Jiangdong.

However, Gaius stopped Sword Saint and Tang Hao when they wanted to go in with the crowd.

"Sword Saint, please hold on. The Dragon Master has instructed that everyone except those from the War God Castle can enter Jiangdong!" Gaius said coldly

with a stern face.

"How dare you! Do you know who Sword Saint is?

He's the Hall Master of the War God Castle and the top leader of the martial arts world of China. Do you think this tiny province of Jiangdong can be the big boss of the martial arts world?" After Gaius stopped them, Mo Wuya was furious and even wanted to fight Gaius.

"Enough!"

Immediately, Sword Saint stopped Mo Wuya from acting recklessly.

The next moment, he glanced at Gaius and said, "Please inform your Hall Master that we're not here with any ulterior motive. Instead, we only wish to join Patriarch Chu's birthday party." "There's no need for that. Can't you see that many people are attending the same event? It will go on with or without you. Please leave."

Crossing his arms, Gaius rejected Sword Saint's request right away.

"Haha! Sword Saint, I can bring your gift to the party

on your behalf."

When noticing that Sword Saint was not allowed to enter Jiangdong, Aaron gloated over it and mocked him.

Unperturbed, Sword Saint ignored him and continued to ask for Gaius's permission to enter.

"Have you lost your mind? Back then, the War God Castle severed ties with our Dragon Master. As you wish, Dragon Master doesn't want to have any relationships with the War God Castle. In that case, why do you have to be so hypocritical and come to Jiangdong now?" Gaius rolled his eyes and said to Sword Saint and the rest nonchalantly.

With that, the expressions on Sword Saint and Tang Hao's faces turned grim.

"Since you've brought this up, we don't wish to hide it from you.

"Apart from celebrating Patriarch Chu's birthday, we come to Jiangdong to resolve that matter. On Mount Chumen, we didn't think it through before we made the decision. Therefore, Sword Saint and I are here to apologize to the Dragon Master with sincerity.

"Gaius, I hope you can make an exception for us to enter Jiangdong to see Ye Fan. No matter how deep the past grudges are, please let us talk to him face to face," Tang Hao said politely to Gaius as though he was begging.

"Besides, the matter related to the Chu family hasn't come to an end. We're worried that there might be more upheavals in the future. No matter how powerful Ye Fan and the Dragon God Hall are, you might be unable to take care of everything alone. For that matter, the War God Castle is willing to and can assist Ye Fan." Tang Hao tried very hard to persuade Gaius with reason and sincerity.

After hesitating for a while, Gaius finally nodded in response. "Fine. I can bring you to Jingzhou.

However, whether or not the Dragon Master wants to see you is entirely up to him."

Tang Hao reminded Gaius that the Chu family had always been unforgiving.

Although everything seemed to have dusted after the battle on Mount Chumen, one couldn't be sure that the Chu family wouldn't do something sneaky in the future.

Also, if the War God Castle had repented and was willing to make amends, it could be of great help to Ye Fan.

Yeyang in Jingzhou was lively and merry, and various types of beautiful flowers were blossoming around the city.

Besides, a new red carpet was rolled out from the entrance to the exit of the village.

As many guests were coming, even the big guns like Li Er and Lei San ran errands for Ye Fan by welcoming the guests and recording their gifts.

"The Folo Palace from India has brought a gold statue of the god!"

"The Great Emperor of Remdik, has brought a famous painting!"

"Duke Sully from Western Epea has brought a royal crown!"

"The War God Castle from China has brought a set of ancient tea utensils!"

Inside a room, Jin Bao and Yin Bao read out the list of gifts given by the guests based on the booklet.

Ye Fan was peeling some oranges for his wife on the couch. He couldn't help but frown once they mentioned the War God Castle.

Nonetheless, Ye Fan remained silent to let Jin Bao and Ye Fan finish reading.

"Mr. Chu, what should we do with the presents? Should we accept them?" Jin Bao and Yin Bao glanced at Ye Fan and whispered.

Ye Fan lifted his head and said calmly, "Keep the presents. Then, give presents worth the same value to our guests in return. However, the gift given by the War God Castle shall be returned to them."

Ye Fan waved his hand after giving the instruction. Jin Bao and Yin Bao nodded in response and left to execute it.

Standing outside the Ye residence, Sword Saint and Tang Hao kept looking at it anxiously.

After a while, Jin Bao came out with the tea utensils set. "I'm sorry. Mr. Chu said he could not accept the gift given by the War God Castle."

"But..." Tang Hao and Sword Saint's expressions turned grim instantly.

At the same time, Mo Wuya got infuriated. "Who the heck Chu Tianfan thinks he is? What an ingrate! We can still accept it even though he didn't come out to welcome us in. Now, how dare he refuses to accep our gift?

"Sword Saint, Chu Tianfan obviously disrespects the War God Castle and the martial arts world of China."

Mo Wuya gritted his teeth angrily as he spoke. It was as though he would rush into the house to beat the hell out of Ye Fan.

Surprisingly, Sword Saint's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. "The top-ranked fighter in the Sky Ranking is surely a proud man. We should have expected it since we're here to apologize."

Sword Saint didn't leave after responding to Mo Wuya.

Instead, he stood still before the Ye family and shouted, "Mr. Chu, Xiao Chen and Tang Hao from the War God Castle are here to visit you. Can you please carve out some time in your busy schedule to meet us? Give us a chance to apologize to you in person."

Following Sword Saint's loud and clear voice, the noisy courtyard suddenly fell silent.

The next moment, everyone turned their eyes to the three men standing in front of the Ye residence.

Besides, some of them were shocked upon seeing them.

After all, Sword Saint was the Hall Master of the War God Castle, hence the martial arts leader in China. Also, many were aware that Sword Saint valued his pride a lot.

It was their first time seeing Sword Saint swallow his pride and humble himself to that extent.

The pin-drop silence dragged on for a long while until someone said coldly, "What's the use of giving me a present now, given that you refused to help me in my hour of need? Please leave now."
