A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1778

Chu Yuan's roars did not stop resounding throughout the castle and they almost destroyed the great hall. All the disciples of the sect knelt in terror, and none of them dared to even speak a word.

In the end, Tang Xian, who was worried about Tang Yun, begged Chu Yuan, "Old Master, Ms. Tang is still nowhere to be seen. She must have been taken away by that scum, Chu Tianfan. Not only is he fearless, but he is also full of tricks. Old Master, you must take Ms. Tang back from that b*stard. If you don't, Chu Tianfan might harm her!"

Tang Xian was tearing up, and his eyes were filled with worry. After all, if Ye Fan could do something so cruel to Chu Zhengliang, it was possible that he might subject Tang Yun to the same kind of pain. Even until then, they could still hear Chu Zhengliang's screams coming from Mount Chumen. Tang Xian was worried that Ye Fan might have captured Tang Yun using the same despicable way and tortured her as well.

Tang Yun was the most talented genius in their family, and she was the hope of the Tang family. As the family head, Tang Xian didn't want to see Tang Yun

die at Ye Fan's hands.

"You're right. That b*stard must have tricked her into this! She wouldn't have done something so nonsensical on her own!" Chu Yuan told himself that, trying his hardest to believe in the excuse that he had come up for Tang Yun.

No matter what, he would not accept the fact that Tang Yun had turned her back on him, nor would he accept the fact that his pride and joy had eloped with Ye Fan.

As someone once said, "Facts don't care about your feelings." And they certainly did not care about Chu Yuan's feelings either.

Chu Yuan himself knew that Tang Yun had special feelings for Ye Fan, and not just because he was Chu Zhenghong's son. He knew Ye Fan also liked her from the moment he changed the direction of his attack a little while back when Tang Yun risked her life to save him.

But Chu Yuan did not think too much about it back then. Now, after what happened, he had to take one terrifying possibility into serious consideration. She might have given up on power, her rule, and her family's pride just to elope with an exiled person.

Of course, he only entertained that concept silently. He would never talk about it with anyone, or he would be embarrassed because of it. The sect would be humiliated because of it.

"Our first order of business is to apprehend Chu Tianfan and retrieve our sect leader, Tang Yun. I will need Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder to lead a troop each and stop Chu Tianfan from leaving the country. Lockdown the land, sea, and airspace.

"That b*stard has been seriously injured. I doubt they'd be able to escape the country overnight. If we guard the borders, we'll catch him eventually."

Chu Yuan came up with a plan and gave his orders to catch Ye Fan. However, no matter how much he said, Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder did not appear.

"Have I not made myself clear enough? Are you deaf? Where are Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder?" Chu Yuan asked sternly.

None of the fighters answered him. They hung their heads low, and in the end, Tang Xian whispered bitterly, "Old Master, Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder have perished a while ago." "What? They've perished? Who killed them? Are you saying that someone other than Chu Tianfan dares to go against the sect?" Chu Yuan was livid about the news.

Tang Xian blanched. "Chu Tianfan is the one who killed them."

"That b*stard!" Chu Yuan clenched his fists, and he wanted to kill Ye Fan even more. "Then, send the Eighth and Ninth Elder after him. No matter what, I want that b*stard apprehended. We must rescue Tang Yun and avenge our elders!" Chu Yuan handed the mission over to another duo.

However, much to his astonishment, the ones he summoned did not appear as well. "What is the meaning of this? Where are Eighth and Ninth Elder? Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I said?"

Chu Yuan was enraged. He glared at everyone as he attempted to search for Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder. However, he found nothing. In the end, Tang Xian answered again, "O-Old Master, they... they have perished as well. At Chu Tianfan's hands."

It was a piece of grim news, but Tang Xian held his sorrow down and reported it nonetheless. A few years ago, Chu Sect lost two elders to Ye Fan during the battle in the rainforest.

Recently, Ye Fan attacked Chu Sect two times and killed Sixth Elder first, while his subordinates killed Eighth Elder. As a result, Chu Sect was severely undermined, and they were at risk of getting attacked at any time.

A wave of energy burst forth from Chu Yuan, and the long table before him shattered into pieces. "D*mn you, Chu Tianfan! I swear on my name that I shall crush you into pieces!"

Chu Yuan was so angry that his veins were pulsing on his forehead. He could not believe that all the elders he summoned were dead and that all of them were killed by the same person.

Livid, he stopped summoning anyone to do his bidding. He figured that if the person he summoned for the third time was also a dead one, he would be embarrassed.

"Head of elders, you shall lead this mission. Remember, send someone to keep an eye on all exits and entrances of the city. And get our allies in the local area to hunt Chu Tianfan down. If you find any clue that will lead us to Chu Tianfan and Tang Yun, you report to me immediately.

"Chu Shen, you shall take the family over for now, and summon the Demonic Duo. Tell them I wish to meet with them." Chu Yuan looked at Chu Shen after he sent Tang Xian away.

Since Chu Zhengliang was as good as dead, the Chu family would need someone else to lead them, and Chu Shen was the only one who could do that. However, Chu Shen had no idea why Chu Yuan wanted to summon the Demonic Duo.

After he was done making arrangements, Chu Yuan remembered something he wanted to ask, so he told everyone to leave. When Tang Xian was the only one left, he asked, "How's it going with the Jones family?"

Tang Xian heaved a sigh and shook his head. "Still throwing a tantrum. Especially the young master of the Jones family. He wants a showdown with Mr.

Tianqi."

Chu Yuan frowned. "Ask them to name their price. We'll pay it as long as we can afford it."

Tang Xian was silent for a moment, then he whispered, "They only have one demand. An eye for an eye."

"Impossible," Chu Yuan refused it outright. "Tell them that we can't change the past. Now that we have the

Jade Eyes, we will never hand them back. Besides, the girl is dead, so there's no use in giving back the eyes either. They can't expect us to give the holy eyes to a dead person, do they? That'd be a waste of good treasure!" Chu Yuan argued, his voice filled with anger.

After ranting, he calmed down a lot, feeling as if he had finally vent his anger out. "Forget it. It is our fault in the first place, but the perpetrator has already been punished, isn't he? My son is being tortured on the mountain now. Is that not enough? Tang Xian, you might have to persuade them to stop while they are ahead. Think of the big picture.

"Tell them they shall have their recompense eventually."
