A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 903 Parting

Ye Fan was unmoved and looked at them with his eyes devoid of any sympathy.

Since time immemorial, winners took all.

If Ye Fan was the one defeated today, he would have undoubtedly suffered a fate far worse than Mochizuki Kawa.

It was survival of the fittest!

Those were the laws of the martial arts world.

After Ye Fan shut Mochizuki Kawa up with a slap, Ye Fan's eyes landed on Suzumiya Eigetsu.

"Eigetsu-chan, do you really want to plead for him? Mochizuki Kawa is just a pretentious man. He didn't take you in as his disciple because of your talent, but because of the spirit dwelling in your body. In his eyes, you are just a sacrifice. He even thinks it is your honor to get killed. How can you beg for mercy for an inhuman prick like him?" asked Ye Fan resentfully as his voice echoed through the air. Ye Fan never liked Mochizuki Kawa at the get-go.

This so-called elder of the martial arts world acted above board but ended up doing despicable things.

He even resorted to attacking the people of Jiangdong and holding a woman hostage to make Ye Fan appear. Ye Fan despised men like him.

A truly powerful martial artist should be above board and upright. How could they do things so unscrupulously?

Ye Fan even suspected Mochizuki Kawa had something to do with Suzumiya Eigetsu's spirit seal.

Suzumiya Eigetsu only shook her head when she heard what Ye Fan said.

"Master, I know. In their eyes, I am just a sacrifice, and no one really cares about me. But he spent so many years teaching me and bringing me up. Since I was seven, I started learning martial arts from him. He groomed me and treated me well. Perhaps he had an ulterior motive for taking care of me, but I can't just forget about the ten years I spent with him. Master, please spare him. I will give you yasakani jade in return," said Suzumiya Eigetsu softly as she knelt on the ground.

Tears kept welling up in her eyes.

Her sad voice continued reverberating through the air.

However, Suzumiya Eigetsu only asked for Mochizuki Kawa to be spared and said nothing about she was the most worried for Ye Fan.

After all, Mochizuki Kawa was the Sword God and leader of the Sword Shrine.

He had controlled the Japanese martial arts circle for decades and was their ultimate leader.

Only Yukiteru Tenshin could compare to Mochizuki Kawa in terms of prestige throughout Japan.

If Ye Fan killed Mochizuki Kawa, he would incur public wrath.

Then Ye Fan would get hunted down by the entire country.

Even the number one fighter in Japan, Yukiteru Tenshin, might get involved.

Ye Fan would certainly end up in a desperate situation.

So for both their sakes, Suzumiya Eigetsu didn't want Ye Fan to annihilate Sword Shrine completely.

If he gave Sword Shrine some leeway, there was hope for the future.

Even at this point in time, this silly girl was still considering the safety of others.

"Master, is that alright?" asked Suzumiya Eigetsu again imploringly.

In the end, Ye Fan shook his head and sighed. "Fine. On your account, I will spare him. You can trade the yasakani jade for his life," Ye Fan's deep voice reverberated through the air. However, Mochizuki Kawa became anxious and started shouting in the hope that he could stop Suzumiya Eigetsu.

The yasakani jade was a Japanese sacred object which had been handed down through the generations for the past millennia. He would rather die than let it fall into the hands of a foreigner.

But it was futile.

Regardless of how Mochizuki Kawa shouted, Suzumiya Eigetsu ignored him.

She got up and bowed to Mochizuki Kawa. "Teacher, I'm sorry."

Then Suzumiya Eigetsu entered the Sword Shrine.

The yasakani jade used to be with the Suzumiya clan.

Suzumiya Eigetsu brought it to Sword Shrine and handed it to Mochizuki Kawa for safekeeping.

After all, Sword Shrine was the Japanese martial arts circle leader and had three grandmasters guarding it, so it made sense for the jade to be handed over for safekeeping.

Since Suzumiya Eigetsu had spent ten years with Mochizuki Kawa, she naturally knew where it was kept.

Mochizuki Kawa didn't attempt to hide it from Suzumiya Eigetsu since it was unnecessary.

After all, Suzumiya Eigetsu was the one who brought it to Sword Shrine.

Very quickly, Suzumiya Eigetsu came walking over with a wooden box and handed it to Ye Fan.

"Master, this is what you want. I hope you will use it to protect those that mean a lot to you."

Suzumiya Eigetsu reached her hand out and handed the sacred object over to Ye Fan without any hesitation while Mochizuki Kawa and the others looked at her with reddened eyes.

"Eigetsu-chan, stop being so foolish! Don't you know what the yasakani jade means to the Japanese martial arts circle?" shouted Mochizuki Kawa sadly.

In that instant, it felt as though his heart was bleeding.

He wanted to stand up and run over to snatch the box.

However, he was critically injured and barely breathing now. He was incapable of defending himself, let alone snatch the jade from Ye Fan.

He could only watch powerlessly as the yasakani jade ended up in Ye Fan's hands.

Ye Fan couldn't help feeling a little touched when he took the box and looked at the smiling young woman.

"Eigetsu-chan, come with me. I will take you back to China. Now that you have given me this yasakani jade, the martial arts circle in Japan won't let you off," said

Ye Fan in a low voice.

Suzumiya Eigetsu shook her head and gently smiled as she said, "Master, it's fine. Don't forget that I am Tsukuyomi Tenshin's host, so they won't dare to do anything to me. Enough, Master. Hurry up and go. Didn't you promise Miss Qiu that you would go back as soon as possible? Stop holding things up. Or else, you won't be able to leave when Sanshin Organization gets here."

Suzumiya Eigetsu beamed brightly as she pushed Ye Fan out and made him leave.

No one could detect her reluctance to leave him.

The best time of her life was always fleeting.

She would have to part ways with him eventually.

After he left, they would never cross paths again.

'Are you sure you don't want to go with me? If you come with me, I will keep trying to remove the spirit seal in your body. If you stay here, you will definitely die," said Ye Fan seriously as he tried to convince the young lady again.

Suzumiya Eigetsu smiled sadly.

"Master, thank you. It's useless. I know my condition best. I am on the path to no return. The next time we meet, someone else will be occupying this body."

Suzumiya Eigetsu felt sad, and tears gradually trickled down her face as she smiled.
