A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

"Ye Fan, could this tree be the one that you said grew from the seed that fell from Sky Gate?" Duanmu Wan'er stepped forward, asking softly.

Ye Fan nodded.

At that time, he was right in front of the Sky Gate.

Even though the seed was tiny, he could see it exceptionally clearly.

After all, what primarily flowed down from the Sky Gate were mostly light orbs, while that seed was black.

Moreover, its shape was completely different from the other light orbs, making it particularly conspicuous.

Duanmu Wan'er didn't respond. Instead, she stepped forward and continued to examine the tree.

During their conversation, that plant had astonishingly grown another ten or so centimeters.

Moreover, Ye Fan noticed that the speed at which the mysterious plant absorbed the light orbs was getting faster and faster.

"Wan'er, do you know what kind of tree this is?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

Duanmu Wan'er furrowed her brows in deep thought, then shook her head. "I can't tell yet. It's still too small right now. Hard to make out any distinct features. Once it grows a bit more, we should be able to tell. Duanmu Wan'er spoke softly.

Upon hearing that, Ye Fan thought there was nothing else he could do but leave the tree alone for the time being.

Afterward, Angie looked around at other places and didn't notice anything unusual.

The only conclusion to be drawn was that a pure and potent force lay within the light orbs.

"Ye Fan, these light orbs should greatly benefit your cultivation. In the future, you could indeed come here for secluded cultivation." Duanmu Wan'er spoke softly. Ye Fan nodded.

The magic of the speck of light was something Ye Fan had already experienced before.

After he pushed open the Sky Gate, his severe injuries recovered significantly in no time after his body absorbed the light orbs.

It was evident that the light orbs could not only aid in cultivation but also have healing effects.

After spending some time there, Ye Fan was ready to head back with Duanmu Wan'er.

"Let's go back, Wan'er. Don't let me hold you up from your matters." Ye Fan knew well that Duanmu Wan'er was still constantly thinking about her brother. Hence, Ye Fan didn't let her stay for long.

After completing their investigation, Ye Fan took Duanmu Wan'er back to the secret realm of India.

Of course, at the same time, the body of Chu Qitian was also brought in to initiate Angie's treatment.

Gaius suddenly called out to Ye Fan before the latter left.

"Dragon Master, may I have a word with you?" Gaius glanced at Duanmu Wan'er, who was standing nearby, then subtly signaled to Ye Fan and whispered.

Ye Fan frowned. "Wan'er is not an outsider. Feel free to speak your mind."

With a bitter smile, Gaius still looked as if he wanted to say something but held back.

"Please listen to me, Dragon Master. It's better if we step aside for a discussion. I'm doing this for your own good," Gaius gently advised.

His main concern was causing unnecessary family conflicts for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment. What on earth is Gaius up to?

"You should go ahead, Ye Fan. I'll just wait for you here." Duanmu Wan'er smiled gently, speaking in a way that showed her tactfulness.

"All right then, Wan'er. Just give me a moment. I'll be right back." In the end, Ye Fan did as Gaius suggested. The two of them avoided Duanmu Wan'er and went to the other side to talk.

"What's really going on, old man? Why all the mystery?" Ye Fan asked, frowning slightly in displeasure.

He pondered for quite a while but couldn't think of anything that he needed to hide from Wan'er.

"Dragon Master, Junie visited earlier. She seemed disappointed unable to meet you," Gaius tentatively said.

Ye Fan nodded, "She's a thoughtful woman. However, if you see her, tell her that I'm currently tied up with important matters. Once I'm done, I will visit her in India. Let her know she doesn't need to worry abou

me."

"No, Dragon Master. That's not the point. The crux of the matter is that the former head of Chu Sect, Tang Yun, has also arrived. She came with your son, Dragon Master Junior," Gaius said with a bitter smile. Upon hearing those words, Ye Fan suddenly trembled.

"What did you just say? Yun was here? Where is she now?" Ye Fan immediately asked, seemingly eager to know Tang Yun's whereabouts.

Tang Yun had always been a hidden pain in Ye Fan's heart.

The grievances between him and Tang Yun went back many years.

Ye Fan visited Chu Sect several times, and that led to countless grievances with Tang Yun.

Tang Yun once hurt him, but Ye Fan also let Tang Yun down before, especially in the end, when Ye Fan personally shattered Tang Yun's dreams.

Over the past year, Ye Fan often found himself reminiscing about the woman of unparalleled elegance on Mount Chumen.

He was constantly worried that the downfall of Chu Sect would lead Tang Yun to despair and set her on a path of no return.

At one point, Ye Fan even thought that Tang Yun had completely cut herself off from the world.

Unexpectedly, news of her had resurfaced.

Naturally, Ye Fan was particularly moved.

Seeing Ye Fan's anxious expression, Gaius poke in a somewhat incredulous tone, his face twitched slightly. "Dragon Master, do you truly have a relationship with Ms. Tang? Is it true that Dragon Master Junior is born of you and her?"

Before, Gaius was only suspicious. At that moment, seeing the way Ye Fan cared for Tang Yun, Gaius was almost certain about it. Dragon God Hall Master and Chu Sect's Hall Master are definitely having an affair.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? After all this fuss, it turns out we're fighting our own people." Gaius said with a hint of regret.

At that moment, Ye Fan's face darkened, and he slapped the old man, sending him flying.

"Get lost! Stop spouting nonsense, or I'll smack you in the mouth." Ye Fan cursed with a dark expression on his face.

Gaius defended himself. "Dragon Master, I didn't say that. Junie did. She said Dragon Master Junior resembles Tang Yun somewhat and mostly shares his likeness with you. Hence, she said that Dragon Master Junior is your illegitimate child with Tang Yun. They even say that even though you have a wife, you also have countless lovers elsewhere."

The more Ye Fan heard, the more guilty he felt, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. How could that rascal speak of me like that? When did I ever have countless lovers elsewhere? I don't even have a lover!

"That rascal. She's getting more and more ridiculous. The next time I see her, I'll definitely give her a piece of my mind. As for you, why didn't you explain to the others that she's spouting nonsense?" Ye Fan was very annoyed, to the point that he felt like slapping Gaius.

Gaius sighed helplessly. "I've explained, but the facts speak for themselves. Dragon Master Junior does indeed bear a striking resemblance to Ms. Tang."

In the midst of their conversation, Gaius leaned in closer, chuckling mischievously. He whispered, "Dragon Master, why don't you secretly tell me if there's something going on between you and Ms. Tang? I promise I won't tell anyone."

Tang Yun was the goddess of the martial arts world, the cream of the crop.

As such, if she was Ye Fan's lover and even bore Ye Fan a child, Gaius, as a subordinate, would undoubtedly feel proud, too.

"Get lost!" At that moment, Ye Fan didn't utter another word and directly kicked the old man away.

There was no way Ye Fan would speak about such matters casually.

However, Gaius' words did serve as a reminder to Ye Fan.

When Ye Fan looked upon Chu Lin before, he always felt that his son looked familiar to Tang Yun.

At the time, Ye Fan didn't think too much about it.

Now that I think about it, my son does bear a striking resemblance to Yun. A chill ran down Ye Fan's spine. Could it be that Yun is truly the mother of my child?
