A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Although Ye Fan was filled with this doubt, he could only wait to investigate that matter in the future.

In truth, Chu Lin's background had always been shrouded in mystery.

Ye Fan only remembered that his mother once told him it was a woman who brought Chu Lin to their home.

Afterward, there was no further news from the woman.

Back then, Ye Fan had suspected that the child was born to him by Tang Yun.

However, Tang Yun was ultimately too proud and aloof.

Ye Fan could hardly believe that such a proud woman would willingly bear and raise children for someone else.

Moreover, Tang Yun herself had personally denied it.

So, over the years, Chu Lin's background remained a mystery.

Ye Fan also considered thoroughly investigating Chu Lin's background when he had free time.

Unfortunately, his recent years had been filled with endless unexpected events.

Ye Fan was overwhelmed by trivial matters, utterly annoyed.

He never had any spare time to deal with those miscellaneous matters.

Now, the words of Junie and others undoubtedly brought up the long-hidden questions in Ye Fan's heart once again.

"It seems that Lin's background really needs to be thoroughly investigated." Ye Fan hasn't spent much time with Chu Lin.

Their days spent together were very limited, but to say there wasn't a shred of emotion between them would undoubtedly be impossible.

If he were indeed his own biological son, Ye Fan would naturally nurture him well.

But if that weren't the case, Ye Fan would also help him find his biological parents.

Of course, Ye Fan alone couldn't make the decision on how to deal with Chu Lin.

He also had to consider the opinions of Qiu Mucheng and his own mother.

After all, Chu Lin had grown up primarily under the care and nurturing of his mother and Mucheng.

All those matters were but trivialities.

Ye Fan was not in a hurry.

His most pressing matter at that moment was to first tend to Angie's injuries.

So, after giving Gaius a good scolding, Ye Fan took Wan'er and the body of Chu Qitian and left Mount Kransbay.

"Niu, my brother didn't come looking for me, did he?"

After returning to the secret realm, the first thing Wan'er did was to find Huangniu and ask if anyone had been looking for her while she was away.

Huangniu rolled its eyes. "You've only been gone for a short while. You've been waiting for hundreds of years, and your dear brother hasn't come to pick you up. Do you really think your brother could have arrived in the short time you've been away? Stop daydreaming."

Huangniu, while cracking peanuts, rolled its eyes and made a sarcastic remark.

Upon hearing that, Wan'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn't come. Otherwise, if I really miss him, it will truly be a great pity.

However, Ye Fan, who was standing by the side, couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion and sympathy as he watched the scene unfold before him.

Wan'er became so anxious just from being away for such a short while.

It was clear to see how deeply she yearned and anticipated for her brother to come and fetch her.

Who knows where her brother is and what on earth he's doing? He has such a wonderful sister, so how could he bear to have let her wait all these years? Sigh. She's also a pitiful girl. Ye Fan sighed inwardly. At the same time, he made a silent vow to himself that in the future, he would definitely help Wan'er fulfill her heartfelt wish.

Regardless of whether her brother was alive or dead, there should be some sort of closure.

He couldn't possibly let Wan'er keep waiting in that pitch-black cave forever.

"Ye Fan, Wan'er, where have you two been? Why have you all been so mysterious lately?" At that moment, Angie walked over. Halfway through her walk, Angie stopped to take a break, catching her breath slightly.

Clearly, Angie's health condition had deteriorated significantly now.

Even Angie herself felt that her days were numbered.

However, the way she presented herself in front of Ye Fan and others remained as optimistic and cheerful as ever.

Ye Fan walked over, considerately supporting Angie, advising her to rest more.

Angie looked at Ye Fan with a hint of resentment. "Hmph, you don't even keep me company anymore. I don't care. For the remaining days, wherever you go, you have to take me with you.” Angie feigned resentment as she spoke.

She was not being willful or reckless. She simply wished to spend her final days with the one she loved, walking side by side, just like Eigetsu.

Even if she couldn't always be by Ye Fan's side, at least she was happy when dying in Ye Fan's arms.

Of course, Ye Fan knew what was on Angie's mind.

At that moment, he simply smiled, stepped forward, and ruffled Angie's hair. "What do you mean 'the remaining few days'? Silly girl, you have many, many more years ahead of you."

Ye Fan's words left both Huangniu and Angie stunned, especially Huangniu.

The seeds in its hooves scattered all over the ground.

"Have you broken through to the god realm, you brat?"

Huangniu hopped down from its couch, scrutinizing Ye Fan, with a look of frustration and disbelief filling his eyes. Did this d*ckhead actually break through to the god realm? Doesn't this mean that Ye Fan will be able to thrash me in a fight in the future?

That was undoubtedly something Huangniu wouldn't want to see.

"No. However, Wan'er and I have found another way to save Angie."

In the midst of their conversation, Ye Fan brought in the body of Chu Qitian and laid it before Angie.

At first, Angie clearly didn't recognize the other person.

But soon, after a careful examination, Angie's delicate body began to tremble involuntarily.

Two lines of clear tears, uncontrollable, streamed down from the corners of Angie's eyes.

Angie turned around and ran off, tears streaming down her face.

Perhaps it was because whenever she saw Chu Qitian, she would be reminded of those painful memories.

Once again, those unbearable memories and trauma, which were once hidden deep in her heart, surfaced in her mind.

Ye Fan walked over, gently wiped away the tears from Angie's eyes, and comforted her softly, "Angie, it's all in the past now. Everything has gotten better. All those who have harmed you have already been punished. Relax, and accept the final treatment."

Upon hearing that, Angie abruptly turned around. She threw herself into Ye Fan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, as if all the sorrow and sadness, all the fear and despair of those years, were melting into these tears at that moment, pouring out.

And so, after a night of preparation, Duanmu Wan'er began the procedure to transplant Angie's Jade Eyes the next day.

That was an extremely challenging job, not a typical corneal transplant.

After all, Jade Eyes were of special constitution.

Matters imbued with magical powers often tended to be extremely fragile.

If not handled properly, its vitality could be damaged.

The successful transplant accomplished by Chu Zhenghong and his son years ago was possible because they discovered an ancient secret technique in the Chu family's collection of books. However, for Wan'er, those were not difficult tasks.

In her mind, she almost held the entire family's legacy of memories.

That level of knowledge accumulation was truly terrifying.

Ultimately, after enduring several hours of treatment, Wan'er emerged from the stone chamber with a pale face.

"How is Angie? Did it work?" Ye Fan rushed forward, asking anxiously.

Wan'er smiled. "I-It's a success."

After laughing, Wan'er, exhausted to her core, ultimately couldn't resist the overwhelming fatigue within her body. Her vision darkened, and she passed out.

"Wan'er!" Ye Fan shouted anxiously!

Three months later, Ye Fan, with Angie fully recovered, stepped out of the secret realm of India.

This time, he would take Angie with him to Mount Chumen to pay respects to her parents.

With that, the curtain could finally fall on Angie's painful past.

However, while Ye Fan was wholeheartedly dealing with Angie's matters, unbeknownst to him, the land of Kransbay had transformed into a completely different scene after three months.
