A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 987 Old Madam Chu's Fury

Ye Fan continued his recuperation with the medicinal herb baths over the next few days.

He could feel the warm currents that flowed continuously into his body as he soaked in the medicinal herb baths.

The pain stopped wherever the warm current flowed to and was replaced by a very pleasant feeling.

Within a few days, Ye Fan felt a significant improvement to his internal injuries.

It showed on his face as his complexion started to turn a healthier hue.

"Great grandmother, your medicinal herb baths are really good. Can you share the formula with me so that I can prepare this for myself if I am injured in the future? Otherwise, I have to run all the way here and trouble you every time," Ye Fan said with a wide smile to his great grandmother. The moment Ye Fan felt better, he started to behave cheekily again.

"You little rascal, are you now even scheming against your great grandmother? I didn't charge you for the medicinal herb baths and you even want the formula now? You are really greedy." These words sounded like a reproach from Old Madam Chu but one could hear an indulgent tone in her voice towards Ye Fan.

"You will not be able to concoct the Revitalization Bath even if you have the formula, so you can forget about having it. The concoction requires an opportune time, place and a person with the right skills in order for it to work. This means that this medicinal herb bath will only work in my hands and in this mansion." Old Madam Chu shook her head as she laughed. It all sounded very mysterious to Ye Fan. Old Madam Chu has always given Ye Fan the impression that she was shrouded in mystery since he was young.

He felt that his great grandmother was different from the other elderlies out in the world. She was definitely not ordinary and was certainly holding onto a lot of secrets.

But there was nothing strange about it. Old Madam Chu was the most senior person in the Chu family.

Every year during the Lunar New Year, the head of Chu family would lead the clan members to the old mansion to pray to their ancestors and pay their respects to Old Madam Chu. This showed the seniority of Old Madam Chu in the Chu family!

But as far back as Ye Fan could remember, his great grandmother never stepped out of this old mansion.

She seemed to be guarding this piece of land and the old mansion that stood on it, day after day, just like a nightguard.

Ye Fan had once thought that his great grandmother must be a very powerful martial arts fighter, a supreme grandmaster at the very least.

But he discovered that he was wrong because he could not sense any internal energy force coming from her at all.

Old Madam Chu was simply an ordinary person without any martial arts skills.

This was unbelievable as the Chu family was ranked number one in the martial arts world.

Yet the most respected person in this number one family was a person who did not know martial arts.

Then again, Ye Fan was not bothered by the mysteries that surrounded his great grandmother.

It was enough for him to know that his great grandmother loved and doted on him!

"Alright now, let's talk about what happened. If my senses are correct, you have reached the third level of Invoke the Celestial Cloud, right? With your current prowess, there are very few people in China who can be a threat to you. So how is it possible that you were injured so badly? I have also detected some remnant traces of energy force from Invoke the Celestial Cloud in your injuries. Could it be that your injuries were caused by someone from the Chu family?" Although Old Madam Chu had asked Ye Fan these grave questions with an expressionless face, her eyes were glinting shrewdly.

Ye Fan clenched his fist and nodded his head.

"Great grandmother, it was third uncle, Chu Zheng-Liang, who tried to kill me. He conspired with the Japanese military to attack me. I was already badly injured by their latest and most advanced artillery, so he took advantage of the situation and tried to kill me with Invoke the Celestial Cloud. If I hadn't trained up my Dragon God Body, I doubt I would be alive now," said Ye Fan grimly, his words echoing faintly in the

room.

The memories of that day still sent shivers down Ye Fan's spine.

That was the first time he had such a close brush with death ever since he started practicing the Book of Celestial Cloud years ago. The near-death experience disconcerted him.

BAM!

Old Madam Chu smashed the table in front of her with her palm in fury when she heard what Ye Fan had said.

"That scoundrel! It's really him! When your father took over as the head of Chu family years ago, number three had tried to prevent it and caused a lot of troubles. I had thought that he had yielded after your father had gained firm control over the Chu family. To think that as an elder in the family, he actually had the cheek to strike out and bully his own nephew! This is really a misfortune for the Chu family to have such a brute!"

Old Madam Chu had already guessed that Ye Fan's tribulation was likely the result of the internal politics within the Chu family, but to hear it from Ye Fan directly made her furious nonetheless. As the most senior member of the Chu family, the last thing she wanted was to see her descendants fight and kill each other. "Fan, don't worry. I will seek justice for you. I will ask your father to beat this scoundrel when they come back here next year!" Old

Madam Chu said angrily.

Ye Fan laughed softly and said, "Great grandmother, don't worry about my affairs. I will exact revenge on my own. I will make that pair of father and son regret all that they have done!" There was a cold glint in his eyes as Ye Fan clenched his fists.

Old Madam Chu wanted to urge Ye Fan against having any thoughts of revenge, but she decided against it.

"Alright then, I am old and won't be able to do as much. I will let you youngsters resolve your own grudges. But Fan, I still stand by what I told you before. No matter what happens between you and your other relatives, you have to remember that your surname is Chu. You are a son of the Chu family. The blood of the Chu ancestors flow in your veins!" Old Madam Chu solemnly emphasized these things to Ye Fan. She had learnt to let go of a lot of things after having lived for so long.

The younger generation had already grown up with their own ideals. She knew that the words of an old lady would no longer carry as much weight as before.

As such, Old Madam Chu chose not to be involved in the politics within the Chu family.

She had already been through the upheavals of life and had seen many deaths. Her only hope was to ensure Chu family's posterity and legacy!
