"Young Master, my injuries healed a long time ago. I can kill a bull with one punch again now! Guarding Yanjing for you isn't a problem anymore, so you really don't have to worry about me anymore." Tong Shan grinned as he laughed foolishly.
This man was more than two meters tall, but he was as honest as a child in front of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head and laughed at the tall but silly boy in front of him. "You silly fellow, what do you mean by it isn't a problem anymore? What you've lost is your future in martial arts! I went to Japan back then to avenge you, but with Tsukuyomi's rebirth, I wasn't able to kill that Mochizuki Kawa for you."
He was reminded of many old memories when he saw these old friends of his, and he eventually let out a long sigh.
"Forget it, it's all in the past, so I won't mention it anymore. If I manage to come back alive, I'll make sure I find a way to cure your ailment even if I have to travel the world for a doctor," said Ye Fan in a low voice. He sounded strangely solemn and determined.
This was his promise and also his responsibility.
Back then, Tong Shan had followed him in order to fulfil a bigger dream.
But now, Tong Shan's future had been curtailed in a bid to protect his loved ones.
It was hard for Ye Fan to not feel guilty.
But Ye Fan didn't dare to promise too much either.
He didn't know if would survive the next part of his journey.
"Young Master, what do you mean by that? Have you run into trouble? Why do you speak like that?"
Both Tong Shan and Qing Tan were shocked by Ye Fan's words.
Xu Lei turned with a start to look at Ye Fan too. The worry in her eyes increased.
"Haha, it's nothing really. What trouble could I be in? Others might not know what I'm capable of, but you know very well what I can do. Alright now, we can catch up later. I've got to settle this eyesore here first." Ye Fan seemed unwilling to dwell on this topic, so he quickly changed the topic and shifted the focus back to Wei Luo.
"What do you think, Young Master Wei? Do you still think that I don't deserve to be the king of Yanjing? Do you still dare to make myself and Lei apologize to you?" Ye Fan smiled calmly. The mocking in his voice was so apparent.
Ye Yu-Yan, Xue Ren-Yang and the rest looked at Wei Luo with pitiful glances.
In their opinion, this previously high and mighty Young Master Wei was cornered, so he was now like a piece of meat on the chopping board, and could only wait to be hacked to pieces by Ye Fan.
But the fear and panic that they imagined would engulf Wei Luo did not happen.
Instead, Wei Luo clenched his fists and a sinister look appeared on his handsome face. "Excellent, Ye Fan. You've really made me look at you in a different light. But all of this shall come to an end now. I will show you what the Wei family of Zhonghai is truly made of!"
He shook his head and continued, "I didn't intend to call upon him, but Ye Fan, you asked for it! I'm going to make you understand what real power looks like, and how despair feels like!"
With that, Wei Luo's expression turned icy as he spun around and shouted loudly towards the outside of the estate, "Elder Kong, I'll leave the rest to you!"
He cupped his fists and bowed slightly towards the entrance. His voice was bright and respectful, and he looked very humble now.
What?
"This Wei Luo still has another backup plan?" Xu Lei frowned immediately.
Ye Yu-Yan and the rest had grim
expressions on their faces too.
The Xu family was surprised too.
Nobody expected Wei Luo to have hidden so many trump cards.
"Looks like Young Master Wei had prepared himself well for this trip to Yanjing,” murmured the Xu family quietly among themselves. They turned to glance in the same direction as Wei Luo.
One second passed.
Two seconds.
Ten seconds later, the space in front of the house remained empty. Nobody appeared.
"What's going on? There's nobody out there. Did something happen?” Xu Wen-Qing and his family were dismayed at this.
After all, Wei Luo's methods against Ye Fan had all failed so far, and they were really afraid that Wei Luo's last trump card would turn out to be a farce.
