The entire place fell deathly silent.
From the moment Kong Ming fell to his knees, the entire house fell silent.
Every single person was too shocked to move.
"What...what on earth is going on?”
Xu Wen-Qing froze like a wooden chicken as his eyes grew wide.
Xu Mei-Feng's face was covered in shock as she stared on in disbelief.
Wei Luo himself felt as though someone had slapped him and he was too bewildered for words.
"Elder...Elder Kong, you...why...” Those were all the words that could come out of Wei Luo.
Xu Lei and Ye Yu-Yan were also confused.
Their hands covered their lips and they looked very puzzled.
It was clear that even though they were close to Ye Fan, even they had no idea what was going on.
The only person who was still able to remain calm was Ye Fan as he sat comfortably on his chair.
"Oh, so Elder Kong still remembers me. I thought you'd have already forgotten me after not seeing each other for more than a year." Ye Fan looked down at the kneeling Kong Ming as he spoke amicably but with a nasty look on his face.
"Un...unrivalled Grandmaster, back...back when we were in the Amazon rainforest, your prowess shocked the entire globe. Your junior here has always remembered what you look like. Even if I forget what I look like, I wouldn't dare to forget what you look like, the almighty Unrivalled," said Kong Ming in a trembling voice. He could sense the iciness in Ye Fan's words and it terrified him.
Everyone else was even more shocked to hear his words.
Who would have thought that an old man would call himself a junior in front of Ye Fan?
It was obvious that this old man revered and respected Ye Fan greatly.
But Ye Fan merely scoffed.
"Don't say that, I'm really not worth of any of it. I'd better get up and prepare to die," replied Ye Fan with a frosty smile.
Kong Ming really peed his pants this time.
His eyes were filled with fear and he was trembling all over. "Mr...Mr Ye, everything I said earlier...was nonsense! I didn't know it was you! Please don't take it personally! Unrivalled Grandmaster, please, please forgive me! If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dared to show off in front of you!" pleaded Kong Ming miserably. He was so frightened, he felt his soul was about to leave his body.
Others might not know Ye Fan's prowess, but Kong Ming did.
Back when they went to the rainforest together to look for spirit energy fruits, Kong Ming was the leader of the team.
He had seen for himself how vicious and powerful Ye Fan was.
It only took one punch and one kick for him to kill an elder of Chu Sect.
It was also said that Ye Fan had fought two supreme grandmasters singlehandedly on the island that was in the middle of the lake.
After he returned to China, Kong Ming then found out that the young man from Jiangdong on the team was actually the hidden seventh pillar of the nation and a supreme grandmaster!
At that time, Kong Ming was terrified after learning about this. But there were also rumors that the Unrivalled had already died, so Kong Ming wasn't too worried about that.
However, some time ago, the massacre at West Lake in Jiangbei had rocked China, and rumors that the Unrivalled was back flooded the nation.
At that moment, Kong Ming knew that the young man was definitely back.
He had been feeling very uneasy ever since he found out that Ye Fan was back in China.
After all, that trip to the rainforest had been very unpleasant.
Now that he knew who Ye Fan really was, he wanted to find a time to visit Ye Fan and apologize to him personally.
One of the reasons why he followed Wei Luo to Yanjing was for this purpose.
He had planned to go straight to Jiangdong once his work in Yanjing was done.
He didn't expect to run into Ye Fan here.
Worse still, he had offended Ye Fan again.
"Why is this happening to me?!" Kong Ming
was so terrified and frustrated that he nearly started crying.
He was both afraid and upset.
Ye Fan was a killing machine.
He heard that Ye Fan was the one who had singlehandedly massacred all those people who died at West Lake.
