A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Previously, Ye Fan had punished India's Supreme masters by making them kneel on the ground. Additionally, he forced them to acknowledge him as their master and unconditionally obey his commands. Back then, King Folo and the others felt humiliated.

They felt that Ye Fan was being too outrageous, forcing them, Supreme masters, to serve him as slaves.

However, after comparing their treatment to what Aaron and Carlo received, King Folo and his group felt much better.

After all, even though he lost, his dignity was still intact.

Meanwhile, the Supremes of the International Martial Arts Union were totally embarrassed, both in public and in private.

Everyone in the martial arts world was talking about Aaron's group's fate.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Mount Chumen, Ye Fan led Angie to a graveyard.

It had been nearly two years since Bill passed away.

The conifers planted in front of the cemetery had also grown lush and verdant.

Angie kneeled there, crying silently, her face awash with tears.

It had been two years, yet that was her first time there.

For the first time, she saw her father's grave.

Angie recalled the last time she saw her father was when Ye Fan left Mount Chumen. She had run away from her family to find Ye Fan in Jiangdong. After Angie left, she never returned.

Angie probably never imagined that her hurried farewell would turn out to be her last goodbye to her father.

"It's all my fault. It's all because of my willfulness. I am the one who harmed Father." Angie was consumed by grief, her heart filled with self-reproach.

She felt all the misfortunes that befell her family were because of her.

If it weren't for her stubbornness, her family might not have been dragged down.

If she hadn't insisted on leaving Mount Chumen to find Ye Fan all those years ago, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

"I don't blame you, Angie." Michael stepped forward, comforting his sister by pulling her into his embrace. "Chu Sect's ambition wasn't a one-time thing. Even if you hadn't left the family to search for Dragon Master in Jiangdong, things would've played out the same way. Chu Sect would've still waged war, and Chu Zhengliang and his son would've still sought your special abilities. Of course, if you had married Chu Qitian back then, the Jones family might not have offended Chu Sect, and we wouldn't have been destroyed by them. In the end, though, it would've still been trampled by Dragon Master. Angie, when it comes down to it, our family really should be thanking you. Your unwavering dedication to Dragon Master is why we understood the situation in time and aligned ourselves with the right group. Otherwise, our family wouldn't have the status and dignity we enjoy today."

Michael expressed his heartfelt feelings.

Life was unpredictable. Bad things would sometimes happen to good decisions, and vice versa.

Angie's actions back then indeed brought profound disaster to the Jones family.

However, regardless of the process, the eventual outcome was undeniably good.

Chu Sect was annihilated. Among the three families of Chu Sect, the Chu and Tang families had completely fallen. Meanwhile, the Jones family was spared from the chaos.

After the downfall of Chu Sect, the Jones family wasn't suppressed and even swallowed up many of Chu Sect's businesses.

Today, the Jones family's influence had spread across the globe, establishing them as a uniquely powerful and wealthy family.

The Jones family was once one of the Three Families of the Chu Sect and had the support of the Dragon God Hall. The Jones family weathered the vicissitudes of time and power transitions. However, because they timely aligned themselves with the right team, they flourished, shining brightly like the midday sun.

Ye Fan also stepped forward, comforting Angie with a gentle voice. "Angie, the dead are gone, but the living remains. Your eyes have just recovered. Don't get too upset. From now on, make sure to rest more." Having helped Angie resolve an emotional matter, Ye Fan considered his trip to Chu Sect to be completed.

As such, it was time for him to depart.

He stood up to bid farewell to the siblings.

Facing Ye Fan, Michael spoke. "Dragon Master, the world has achieved peace. All nations have surrendered. There are no longer any conflicts in the world. Why the rush to leave? Why not stay here a bit longer? After all these years, you should know by now my sister's feelings for you, Dragon Master. As her brother, it's only natural for me to hope my sister can properly marry the man she loves. However, I also understand the difficulties you face, Dragon Master. I'm not asking you to give my sister a title. I only ask for you to spend more time with her."

Angie had a rough life and was accompanied by loneliness since childhood.

After her parents passed, all she had left was Michael.

Since ancient times, the eldest brother had often taken the role of the father. Michael didn't want his sister to suffer from the pain of unrequited love in the future. Therefore, he swallowed his pride and asked Ye Fan to accept his sister.

Yet, Ye Fan found himself in a predicament.

He glanced at Angie, then looked at Michael with shame. "Before Mr. Jones passed away, he entrusted Angie to me. I should've been by her side. However, in this world, too many things are beyond our control. Though Symborsus has been vanquished, and the world is now at peace, there are still so many things I need to do. "With the time I have left, I must strive to break through god realm as quickly as possible and reach for even higher realms. "So, I'm afraid I really can't fulfill your request."

Ye Fan was filled with shame.

Michael continued, "Even if it really can't be done, you can still keep my sister company for a few days, right? During this time, perhaps you can impregnate my sister. In that case, even if you don't have time to keep her company in the future, she won't be as lonely as she'll have her children to keep her company."

Upon hearing this, Angie blushed. "Stop it, Michael."

Ye Fan was also somewhat baffled by that suggestion. What's Michael trying to do? Angie is still so young. Besides, she's pure and kind-hearted and is still a child. I can't believe Michael is actually already thinking about making Angie a mother.

Before Ye Fan could even respond, Angie had already declined the suggestion outright. "Don't listen to my brother's nonsense, Ye Fan. Just go about your business. You don't need to worry about me. It's been a while since I last visited my family, so I'll stay and spend some time here with my brother. Besides, my brother just got married, and I'd like to get to know my sister-in-law."

Angie's words eased Ye Fan's embarrassment.

Ye Fan nodded.

Before leaving, he instructed, "Angie, I'll be going now. If you need anything, you can find me at Sacred Mountain in India."

Ye Fan still had things to do. Thus, he ultimately couldn't stay for too long.

The siblings then bid farewell to Ye Fan.

"Oh, my silly sister. Why didn't you let him stay for a few nights? A mother's status is elevated by her son, you know. If you can carry a son or a daughter for Dragon Master, he won't bear to leave you. Dragon Master's power is unparalleled in the world. As such, he's surrounded by countless beauties and charming ladies. How can you compete with other women if you don't carry his child?" Michael sighed, his tone full of disappointment.

Angie, on the other hand, shook her head and laughed.

As she watched Ye Fan's figure slowly fade into the distance, tears trickled down from her eyes.

No one knew what Angie was thinking at that moment.

After leaving Mount Chumen, Ye Fan was ready to return to the secret realm in India to continue his cultivation.

Although Angie's matter had come to a close, Eigetsu's fate remained uncertain.

As such, Ye Fan was compelled to break through to god realm as soon as possible.

However, before returning to the secret realm in India, Ye Fan made a trip back to Mount Kransbay first.

He couldn't allow his effort to push open Sky Gate to be in vain.

In fact, he felt that it should be of some use.

Even then, Mount Kransbay remained under the watchful eye of various martial arts factions.

Of course, no one dared to obstruct Ye Fan anymore.

Several months later, when Ye Fan returned to Mount Kransbay, the scene was completely different.

Greenery could be spotted stretching for kilometers.

What was once a barren wasteland had become a picturesque paradise.

Moreover, the flowers and plants there were compared to treasures as they were brimming with spiritual energy.

Of course, the most eye-catching of all was the plant right beneath Sky Gate.

A few months ago, that plant was only as tall as a person.

At that moment, it was dozens of meters tall.

The trunk was tough. Its branches and leaves were plenty.

It appeared more like an ancient towering tree that had lived for a hundred years.

It didn't look like a young tree that was only three months old at all.

Moreover, it seemed to be growing every day.

Even Ye Fan couldn't help but be surprised. "What kind of tree is this? How is it growing so incredibly fast?"
