A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1833

A myriad of emotions stirred within Ye Qingtian as he watched Shen Fei and Han Shaojie leave.

Ye Qingtian was particularly upset after listening to what Shen Fei said.

"Alas, everything falls apart now that the patron has fallen. Jiangdong, the vast region, has finally collapsed." Ye Qingtian shook his head and let out a sigh.

After listening to Shen Fei just now, Ye Qingtian thought if he ought to help them.

Ye Qingtian thought he could somehow compensate Ye Fan on behalf of China's martial arts world by helping his friends and family.

However, Ye Qingtian eventually dismissed the idea after giving it some thought.

Since Ye Fan had numerous comrades and friends over the years, Ye Qingtian could help them temporarily but not forever.

The only way to do so was that Ye Qingtian was at the helm of Jiangdong. Otherwise, Shen Fei and the

others couldn't stay for much longer once he moved to another place.

In the end, Ye Qingtian decided to ditch the plan, which was unfeasible in the longterm.

"I didn't expect that even Ye Fan's wife and mother left Jiangdong. Perhaps they wished to escape from the place filled with sorrows," Ye Qingtian murmured and heaved a sigh. Suddenly, Ye Qingtian realized that almost none of Ye Fan's family remained in Jiangdong.

"Rest in peace, my friend. I'll avenge you one day!

Sword Saint might be afraid of seeking justice for you from the Chu Sect, but I want the Chu Sect to repay us for whatever they owe you and China!"

Ye Qingtian stayed in front of Ye Fan's tomb for the whole day and night.

At dawn, he bowed several times before Ye Fan's tomb.

After that, Ye Qingtian took out a dragon mask and put it on his face.

From that day onward, there was one less War God in

China. Instead, a man with a dragon mask emerged in the martial arts world.

Time slipped away in the twinkling of an eye.

Incidents that used to send shockwaves throughout the world were slowly forgotten as time passed.

Xue Renyang was in the Xue family manor in Yanjing. He said to himself, "It has been two years since Dragon Master fell, long enough to make the whole world forget him. I wonder how many people in China still remember Dragon Master's face. Even my memory of his petite figure is becoming more blurred."

Night had fallen, and the city lights were starting to light up one by one.

Xue Renyang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city.

That day was the last day of December, and the new year would arrive soon.

People all around the world were ecstatic to welcome the new year.

Looking out the window, Xue Renyang could see that the city was lively, and the roads were full of different vehicles.

Besides, many couples, relatives, and friends gathered to celebrate the new year.

The world seemed peaceful and serene, for everyone looked forward smilingly to the celebration.

However, Xue Renyang couldn't help but feel dejected after gazing at the scene.

"Everyone enjoys their peaceful lives without a care in the world. However, how many of them will miss those who have sacrificed to bring about peace?" Xue Renyang sighed emotionally. During festivals, Xue Renyang couldn't help but reminisce about Ye Fan and feel down.

After all, those who went through the tragedy could never forget it.

As Xue Renyang was deep in thought, a young man reported, "Grandpa, I got some news. A few hours ago, when some members of the Chu Sect gathered to celebrate the new year in a hotel in Norwal City, the man in the dragon mask entered with a sword and killed thirty-eight fighters! One of them was an elder of the Chu Sect, while another three elders were severely injured."

The young man added, "As of today, the man in the dragon mask has carried out ninety-six attacks against the Chu Sect and killed four hundred and thirty-two people. Now, the Chu Sect has issued an order to kill him. Also, the bounty has increased from one hundred billion to three hundred billion!"

Upon listening to it, Xue Renyang couldn't help but frown and asked in a deep voice, "Who on earth is the man in the dragon mask?"

"Could he be Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu is the Hall Master of Dragon God Hall, and that man happens to wear a dragon mask. Doesn't it signify the head of Dragon Gods? Besides that, the man in the dragon mask is as strong as Mr. Chu. Therefore, people in the martial arts world are saying that the Hall Master of Dragon God Hall has returned. In other words, the man in the dragon mask who murdered the Chu Sect's fighters is Chu Tianfan, who had allegedly committed suicide in the past!" The young man's eyes lit up as he spoke, as though he was excited and looking forward to it.

However, Xue Renyang shook his head and replied, "The man in the dragon mask can't be Dragon Master. Judging from Dragon Master's personality, he will not wear a mask to hide his face when taking revenge against the Chu Sect. Besides, if Dragon Master wants to hide his identity, he doesn't have to wear that mask that raises suspicion. Hence, there is only one reason the man kills the Chu Sect's members while wearing a dragon mask-he wants to avenge Dragon Master!"

With teary eyes, he added in a deep voice, "Of course, there can be another motive..."

"What motive can it be?" the young man asked bewilderedly.

"To disrupt the Chu Sect and foil Chu Yuan's ambitious plans!" Xue Renyang looked in the direction of the Chu Sect through the window.

After pausing for a while, Xue Renyang explained, "Didn't you realize the Chu Sect had spent most of their efforts to deal with the man in the dragon mask within the past year? In other words, the Chu Sect barely did anything for such a long time when in fact, among all martial arts organizations globally, the Chu Sect is the most capable of being the leader."

"In that case, should the people of China thank the man in the dragon mask?" The young man fell into a daze.

Previously, the young man only thought the man in the dragon mask went up against the Chu Sect to avenge Ye Fan.

Hence, he was surprised to know that the presence of the man in the dragon mask meant a lot to the martial arts world.

As the young man was deep in thought, Xue Penyang heaved a long sigh and responded, "We should thank the man in the dragon mask. However, he has only delayed the inevitable. As long as he doesn't enter the god realm, the Chu Sect will conquer the world of martial arts sooner or later. Back then, Dragon Master failed to destroy the Chu Sect and even sacrificed himself in the end. Therefore, how can the man in the dragon mask accomplish it alone?"

Toward the end, nostalgia and sorrow had filled Xue Penyang's eyes as if he had lost hope.

To Xue Penyang, the future of the martial arts world was buried after Ye Fan passed away.

After a brief silence, Xue Penyang asked the young man about Xu Lei. "How about Ms. Xu? Do you have any news about her?"

Xue Penyang opined that Xu Lei was perhaps the most heartbroken person after Ye Fan's death.

Xue Renyang still remembered that Xu Lei was desolate and shed many tears back then. She even sought death from all her grief.

In the end, Xue Renyang had to tell Xu Lei that Ye Fan didn't die because someone had rescued him.

It reignited Xu Lei's hope, for she felt that Ye Fan would return one day.

After that, Xu Lei, like Li Er, visited various places over the past two years, hoping to look for any news about Ye Fan.

Because of that, Xue Renyang hadn't seen Xu Lei for a long time.

"I was only informed that she returned to Yunzhou a few months ago. She probably came back to sweep the late Mr. Chu'stomb."

Xue Renyang felt troubled upon hearing him. "Alas... She's miserable. Let's not dwell on it today. It's the new year tomorrow. Let's go home to have a meal with our family together." With that, Xue Renyang left.

While everyone ushered in the new year, a petite figure walked in the snow in the northmost part of the world.

"I can finally see green."
