A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1716

That night, Ye Fan and Ye Qingtian chatted about their understandings of martial arts, world development, and other trivial matters for many hours.

Despite their age difference, they had seemingly become good friends.

Besides, Ye Fan finally knew that Ye Qingtian used to be one of the three most charming men in the martial arts world.

Back then, there were a lot of rumors about the War God's love affairs. Nonetheless, the well-known story was about WarGod's admiration and pursuit of Tang Yun, the head of the Chu Sect.

"What a pity! Numerous women have fallen for me throughout my life. However, Tang Yun is the only one who never cares about me after so many years. Do you know I used to think I could save our country in a roundabout way? I thought if Tang Yun fell for me, then Chu Sect would fall under China's control. Alas... let's not talk about it anymore. Cheers!"

Ye Qingtian couldn't help but drink a few more bottles after mentioning Tang Yun.

At the same time, Ye Fan also gulped down a few more glasses of wine.

Ye Fan was surprised to know that the imposing War God was infatuated with Tang Yun.

Nonetheless, Ye Qingtian failed to win her heart after courting her for many years.

If Ye Fan were any ordinary person, he would have burst into laughter and ridiculed the War God by now.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fan didn't feel amused at that moment.

Tang Yun only cares about her sect and future achievements. Will she ever think about romance?

Suddenly, Ye Fan recalled that he used to think the kid raised by the Ye family was Tang Yun and his own child.

Looking back at the past events, Ye Fan thought he had become a laughing stock, and Tang Yun probably saw him as a narcissist.

"You're right. Let bygones be bygones. We don't have to mention it again. Let's drink!"

With that, Ye Fan lifted his glass and drank with Ye Qingtian.

The night soon passed, and Ye Qingtian bid farewell to Ye Fan the next day.

Ye Qingtian had to prepare to head toward South Sky Mountain for his solitary training.

Before Ye Qingtian left, Ye Fan taught him a palm strike technique.

It was part of Invoke the Celestial Sky, but Ye Fan had slightly improvised it.

A fighter had to learn the chant of Invoke the Celestial Cloud if he wished to acquire the complete version of Invoke the Celestial Sky.

Considering that Ye Qingtian couldn't possibly acquire it, Ye Fan had no choice but to teach him the improvised version.

"The palm strike technique looks ordinary but contains a lot of unfathomable changes. If you can master it, I'm sure you will achieve your breakthroughs more easily," Ye Fan said after demonstrating the palm strike technique.

Ye Qingtian burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! All right. Let's fight after I've returned from my training! Wait for me!"

The happiest thing that could ever happen to martial artists was to acquire some powerful martial arts techniques.

Ye Fan's palm strike technique looked simple but was mystifying.

Given that Ye Qingtian was trained in martial arts for many years, he could tell that it was a powerful technique.

After knowing Ye Fan for a long time, Ye Qingtian knew that the former had acquired a lot of secret martial arts techniques. Furthermore, Ye Fan couldn't forget when there was seemingly a dragon around Ye Fan's body to shield him from attacks. No matter how much Ye Qingtian was interested in such a mysterious technique, he wouldn't ask for it from Ye Fan.

It was already a pleasant surprise that Ye Fan was willing to teach him the palm strike technique.

After thanking Ye Fan, Ye Qingtian finally left.

Staring at the retreating silhouette, Ye Fan felt slightly downhearted. Deep down, he wasn't sure when they would meet again.

After all, solitary training could be as short as a few months but as long as decades.

For instance, Chu Yuan had undergone solitary training for decades before coming out recently.

After seeing Ye Qingtian out, Ye Fan noticed that Han was waiting outside the door.

Ye Fan asked smilingly, "Han, what's going on? Is there something you want to tell me? I know that you've been waiting here since last night."

After a while, Han bowed slightly and said politely, "Young Master, since you had a good chat with the War God, I dared not disturb you. As such, I have to wait here."

"You don't have to humble yourself. All in Dragon God Hall are brothers. Besides, you've become a spy in the Chu family for a long time and served me since I was young. To me, you're like my elder."

With that, Ye Fan poured a cup of tea for Han.

Han was shocked and immediately declined to drink it.

"What's wrong? Do you disdain me? Alas, it looks like I'm merely a small potato, for someone doesn't even care about drinking my tea."

Ye Fan made fun of Han on purpose.

After Ye Fan said so, Han had no choice but to drink it.

"What is it? Tell me." Ye Fan asked after Han finished drinkingthe cup of tea.

"Young Master, it is nothing serious. Meng Wanyu contacted me not long ago. She wished that you could visit Angie from the Jones family if possible. Of course, you can make a phone call or write a letter if you can't be there in person. Ms. Meng said ever since you left Mount Chumen, Ms. Jones has not been herself. As such, she was worried about Ms. Jones's health condition."

Han observed Han's expression as he spoke.

Ye Fan was smiling just now; nonetheless, his smile faded away as soon as Han finished.

"Young Master, Ms. Jones is deeply in love with you. I think it's okay to contact Ms. Jones. Just treat it as giving her some psychological comfort."

Back then, Han went through life and death situations with Angie, and thus he remembered her.

However, Ye Fan shook his head and responded, "Judging from our relationship with the Chu family, it's best for Angie that we sever all ties with her. Otherwise, I might become an obstacle to Angie's future and even brought harm to her. Angie is indeed a genius. When she gets older and has fully explored her potential, she will undoubtedly shine in Chu Sect. She might even become the next head of the Chu Sect."

"Young Master, I'm sure you can feel Ms. Jones's feelings for you. Perhaps she isn't interested in pursuing power and authority, but you're the person whom she wants to be with the most?" Han continued to persuade Ye Fan.

Instantly, Ye Fan let out self-deprecating laughter. "Who am I to deserve such a privilege? Besides, I already have a family. It's destined that I can't give her what she wants. Under such circumstances, why don't we pull the plug now? It's cruel to her for now, but time heals all wounds. Sooner or later, she will let go and find a better man."

Angie was someone everyone found likable, but Ye Fan only saw her as his sister.

Ye Fan never expected Angie would have feelings for him.

Instead of leaving Angie hanging in the air, he thought it was best to part ways with her.

Also, considering that Ye Fan had offended the Chu family, Angie would get hurt if he kept in touch with her.

Due to different backgrounds, Ye Fan and Angie were destined to go their separate ways.

"Please relay a message to Angie for me. When she becomes the head of the Chu Sect, I'll surety go visit and congratulate her!" Ye Fan said slowly.

Deep down, Ye Fan wanted to stay away from Angie.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Fan believed he ought to rekindle Angie's hope so that she would feel energized and not give up. Nonetheless, others didn't think the same.

For instance, Gaius, who happened to wake up at that time and overheard the conversation, secretly gave Ye Fan a thumbs up.

Dragon Master, I'm impressed! What a brilliant plan to train a beauty since young to become the head of the Chu Sect!
