A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1794

Given that so much had happened that night, Chu Sect would undoubtedly take action after Tang Xian and the others returned.

Meanwhile, after that evening's battle, no doubt, Ye Fan's whereabouts had been completely exposed. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to leave.

As such, Ye Fan and his group kicked off their journey and headed toward the borders.

When those men who were sent by Chu Sect to guard the borders spotted the ten-thousand strong army marching toward them, they escaped back to Chu Sect to report at once, scared out of their wits. At the same time, at the pier, Oska had gotten ready several massive cruise ships that were enough to accommodate Ye Fan's troops.

"Aren't you coming with us?"

Li Er and the rest had already boarded the ship, ready to depart.

However, Oska remained standing by the shore as he bade farewell to Ye Fan and the others.

By the looks of it, the man had no intention to leave with them.

"Dragon Master, I will be staying here. This is my hometown and where most of my work is. Dragon Master, if you make a comeback in the future, I will gladly serve you again." Oska waved goodbye to Ye Fan with a smile.

Indeed, he did not intend to leave with Ye Fan.

Oska was not a martial artist. He did not have exceptionally strong capabilities, nor was he talented in business.

His greatest asset was his army of five thousand soldiers.

As such, the man knew that he would lose his value if he followed Ye Fan back to China.

Ye Fan might find some work for him out of gratitude and appreciation of his loyalty, but that was not what Oska wanted.

He did not conceal his identity for so many years just to live a pathetic life as a nobody.

As such, the man chose to stay behind and remain in charge of his five thousand men-strong army.

"But you do know that you will be severely punished when your superiors get to know about what happened the previous night, right? It is a major crime to deploy troops without permission. Have you thought about the consequences that you would have to bear?" Ye Fan reminded worriedly.

Oska dismissed the man's concerns with a wave and replied placidly, "Don't worry. I have been in charge of this area for many years and have established a pretty good relationship with both my superiors and subordinates. I will be fine. On the other hand, Dragon Master, you should be more careful. Even though you will be able to avoid clashes with most members of Chu Sect by traveling via the sea route, that's not enough to stop their top fighters. If they manage to catch up with you, you will be in a dangerous situation."

Oska reassured the man and gave him a word of caution.

Ye Fan nodded in response.

He was already aware of everything Oska told him.

However, out of all the options available, taking the sea route was the safest.

At least, they would be able to avoid all the fighters below the Supreme rank.

As for the rest, he planned to leave it to fate.

"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. Take care! I hope to see you again the next time I come here."

Ye Fan patted Oska's shoulder before turning around and boarding the ship, sailing away with the others under the glow of the evening sun.

Meanwhile, on the bank of the ocean, Oska stood at attention and raised his right hand to his forehead, giving a military salute in Ye Fan's direction. "Farewell, Dragon Master!"

Oska's booming voice rang out in the sky.

Whoosh!

Instantly, those five thousand soldiers behind him followed his lead and saluted as well.

"Dragon Master, that would be our last goodbye..."

After Ye Fan disappeared out of sight, Oska muttered under his breath as his eyes reddened.

A while later, the man turned his troops around and set off toward Mount Chumen.

The reason he was called "Hidden Dragon" was that he had been hiding in the shadows, just waiting for that one moment to reveal his identity.

Oska knew very well that not only would he be stripped of his position for deploying the troops and leaving Mount Chumen without permission, but he would also be court-martialed. However, none of those were important to the man anymore.

What mattered to him was that, at that moment, he still had command over his troops.

Ye Fan had said that he would be making a comeback in one to three years' time.

However, Hidden Dragon knew that he wouldn't be able to wait till then.

Everything would be over after that night.

With steadfast determination and a resolute expression, Oska led his soldiers back to Mount Chumen.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and the rest were on their journey back.

Exhausted from the happenings of the past few days, Li Er and the others were already sound asleep.

As it was deep into the night, the air was exceptionally chilly and humid.

Standing on the deck, Tang Yun gazed upon the land that was gradually becoming distant. In the dark, the mountains were also slowly fading out of sight.

For some reason, Tang Yun suddenly felt a sense of sorrow and helplessness.

It seemed like her dream was finally going to come true.

She could finally build a peaceful life with Ye Fan without the clashing of swords, spilling of blood, or people seeking revenge.

They would be able to take evening strolls in their beautiful garden every day, watching flowers bloom.

She would focus on taking care of her family and lead a stable and quiet life, playing with her kids in the morning and spending time with her husband at night.

They would have their own little world in the vast universe where they enjoyed bliss and happiness.

Even though that was everything the woman had once dreamed of, Tang Yun could not bring herself to feel happy at all.

While Tang Yun was still lost in her thoughts, she was suddenly engulfed in a warm embrace.

Startled, Tang Yun turned around and saw Ye Fan's face, which had always given her a sense of security.

"We're finally going back. Why do you seem so sad?" Ye Fan smiled, putting his arms around the woman's waist while the night breeze blew against their skin.

Tang Yun shook her head and replied, "Ye Fan, I'm not sure why I'm feeling a little scared. I'm worried that the future might not be what we've imagined. Ye Fan, do you think we can really be happy?" Tang Yun asked softly, fearing the unknown.

After all, that was the craziest decision Tang Yun had ever made in her life, and she was worried that the outcome would not be a pleasant one.

Ye Fan smacked the woman in the head and replied, "You're such a silly girl. Why would you have such thoughts? Are you worried that I will let you down? You chose to stay by my side when I'm at my lowest, giving up your power and wealth. I will always remember what you did for me and will not let you down. I will explain the situation to Mucheng. She has always been considerate and understanding. I'm sure she will accept you. As for my mom, all the more, there's nothing for you to worry about. No one would reject a daughter-in-law with such breathtaking beauty. Besides, it wouldn't matter whether my mom accepts you or not. We can give her a grandson first. By then, she would have no choice but to accept it."

Ye Fan chuckled cheekily.

Ablush of embarrassment spread across Tang Yun's cheeks when she heard the man's shameless remarks.

"Dream on! Did I say I'm going to bearyourchild? After all, I'm the head of Chu Sect. Do you think it's that easy to conquer my heart?" Tang Yun replied stubbornly, trying hard to maintain her pride. However, she secretly wondered what Ye Fan's reaction would be if he knew that she had already given birth to their child.

As Tang Yun was rather prideful, she could not bring herself to tell the man that she had, in fact, already given birth to his child several months back.

She planned to keep it a secret for the time being and would reveal it to everyone at an opportune time in the future.
