A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 925 Told Such a Big Lie

Ye Qing-Tian shook his head as he replied, "I spend too much time in the army, so I don't know much about the up-and-coming martial artists. I only learned about that young grandmaster from Jiangdong, Ye Fan, through hearsay too."

However, the moment he mentioned Ye Fan, a curious notion surfaced in Ye Qing-Tian's head, leaving him in a daze.

He hastily raised his head and looked at Mo Gu-Cheng and the others. "As I understand, Ye Fan is in his twenties too. Chu Tian-Fan is about the same age as Ye Fan. Do you think it's the same person? In other words, do you think Chu Tian-Fan is Ye Fan?"

Ye Qing-Tian seemed as though he had made a major discovery as he instantly speculated in a deep voice.

This was highly possible!

Or else, it would be too much of a coincidence for two grandmasters to emerge in China at the same time.

Unless they were the same person in reality.

"Impossible! I checked on Ye Fan before. He's just a lowly man from the countryside and a live-in husband. The Yanjing army invited him to join them and serve as a military instructor, but he rejected them. God of War, just ask yourself, is it possible for someone without resources and a lowly live-in husband to become a grandmaster at such a young age? It costs a lot of money to practice martial arts. If he wasn' born in a martial arts or elite clan, it's impossible for him to be groomed into a supreme grandmaster."

Mo Gu-Cheng disagreed with Ye Qing-Tian right away. He felt that what Ye Qing-Tian said was nonsense.

However, Mo Gu-Cheng made sense.

Practicing martial arts couldn't be done by poor people without powerful backgrounds.

They would have no one to guide them. Also, a regular family wouldn't be able to afford all the Chinese herbs required to refine their physique.

In order to practice martial arts, they had to strengthen their body inside and out.

Other than cultivating, medicine was required to help strengthen and rejuvenate their bodies.

Or else, it was impossible to withstand high levels of practice.

Of course, people could practice elementary martial arts using their willpower alone.

However, it was near impossible to become a grandmaster.

Hence, Mo Gu-Cheng disagreed with Ye Qing-Tian just based on Ye Fan's background alone.

Sword Saint nodded and chimed in, "Yes, Qing-Tian. You think too highly of the kid from Jiangdong. Even if Ye Fan was genuinely a young grandmaster, he is incapable of trampling Japan! The kid from Jiangdong can't compare to Chu Tian-Fan. After all, this Chu Tian-Fan singlehandedly devastated the Japanese martial arts circle. Even the second strongest martial artist of Japan, Susa Mikoto, was defeated by him. Judging from his ability, he can probably rival us."

Sword Saint spoke deeply and didn't think Chu Tian-Fan had anything to do with Ye Fan either.

Heavenly Grandmaster said nothing the entire time while Sword Saint and the others argued. He only quietly listened.

"Hmm? Hao, don't just sit around and watch. Don't you have any opinion?" asked Mo Gu-Cheng as he looked at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao shook his head and smiled. "Does it make a difference if I speak? In the end, we are merely making wild guesses. If you want to know who Chu Tian-Fan is, we can ask him face to face when he comes home. It's pointless to carry on with the debate."

Tang Hao's words made them stop

debating.

He was right. Everything was mere speculation at this stage.

They could only ask Chu Tian-Fan face to face in China if they wanted to know about his background.

"But if the rumors are true, the future of the Chinese martial arts circles is looking up!

Haha!"

Sword Saint chuckled.

His resounding laughter echoed throughout Mount Yan.

Miles away in America while laughter filled War God Castle.

In New York's city center.

A huge private estate was located here.

A striking young man sat in the estate with his subordinates before him as they handed him a document.

The first line of the document contained a heading in bold: A young man named Chu Tian-Fan from China has made a name for himself throughout the world!

More details could be found beneath the heading.

The young man's face turned increasingly dark as he continued reading down the page.

The young man was eventually so furious that he slammed the table as he stood up!

BAM!

The long red pine table crafted by top swiss craftsmen suddenly broke into smithereens with a dull thud.

The broken pieces of wood and the wine glass sitting on it scattered everywhere!

"Useless idiots! Ten years! This has been going on for ten years! But you haven't been able to get rid of that countryside bumpkin. What is the point of keeping all of you around?"

Chu Qi-Tian sat in the room dressed in a fine suit. Despite his civilized appearance, his face was sinister and furious.

Back in the day, Ye Fan was only a helpless child when he was driven out of the Chu clan.

He could have killed him with a single bullet.

But he had unexpectedly risen from the level of an insignificant to where he was now.

Even nine Japanese grandmasters, Sanshin Organization and Sword Shrine, were almost completely decimated by him.

How many people in the Chu clan could rival his accomplishments?

"The baby eagle has finally learned how to fly! The insignificant child can finally stand on his own two feet. Fan, I have truly underestimated you. I have underrated you. I should have killed you at all costs back then!"

Chu Qi-Tian's face looked menacing as he laughed coldly, making his servants' hair stand.

No one knew how regretful Chu Qi-Tian was in his heart.

For the past ten years, he had been trying to kill Ye Fan.

However, Chu Qi-Tian had not taken the matter seriously and just told his subordinates to take care of it.

Hence, Chu Qi-Tian had not checked on Ye Fan for a long time ever since.

After all, he was just a bastard with a farmer for a mother and a useless live-in husband. Who would care about him?

Chu Qi-Tian couldn't even be bothered to sully his own hands when it came to dealing with Ye Fan in the past.

However, it never crossed Chu Qi-Tian's mind that Ye Fan would shockingly improve so vastly in just a matter of years!

He had slaughtered Susa Mikoto and swept through Japan undefeated.

He was certainly as powerful as a supreme grandmaster.

"No wonder my plans keep failing. No wonder Ying-Tian and Ying-Long died at your hand! No wonder Mochizuki Kawa was incapable of slaughtering you! Chu Tian-Fan, oh Chu Tian-Fan. You have been hiding your true prowess well. You have been keeping such a secret all this time."

Chu Qi-Tian's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deeply into his flesh.
