It was a tranquil night.
Light shone through the windows of the villa as Lu Ziming stood outside his room, shivering in his thin pajamas.
His current predicament was not his choice; his accommodation had been invaded and taken over.
Just moments ago, Ye Fan had arrived for a midnight visit and demanded a place to stay.
As Lu Ziming picked up the phone to book a hotel for him, Ye Fan brazenly announced the house was perfect and he would stay there for a few days.
The latter then instructed him that in the meantime, no one was to be near the villa without his permission.
After being unceremoniously chased out of his own home, Lu Ziming stood in the villa compound, feeling lost like an abandoned puppy. He stared at his cozy abode as self-pity welled up within him.
“F*ck, what did I do to deserve this treatment? What is all this nonsense?” he muttered angrily under his
breath.
Regardless of his indignance, Lu Ziming's hands were tied.
After all, the man in his house was not someone he could afford to cross.
His resentment aside, Lu Ziming was also thoroughly perplexed by Ye Fan's actions.
“It seems like Chu Tianfan will isolate himself forthe next few days. Could it be that he'll have another breakthrough in his abilities?”
Lu Ziming shuddered at the thought of that.
Even without improving his powers, it was already widely known that Ye Fan was second to only the experts of the god realm.
How frightening will he become if he continues to cultivate his skills?Perhaps China will finally birth a god realm warrior.
Lu Ziming lifted his head to gaze at the window of the lit room.
A myriad of emotions churned within him.
He was undecided if Ye Fan's entry to the god realm would bring China more harm or good.
After dwelling on the matter for a few moments, Lu Ziming snapped back to reality and changed into a more presentable attire. He then summoned his driver and left the villa.
In another villa, the chandelier swayed gently from the ceiling.
Ye Fan had taken off his top and was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
“Let's start, Junie,” he said with a carefree smile.
However, Junie was rooted to the spot. Her eyes reddened as she took in the ugly scars on his body.
She extended a dainty hand and gingerly caressed the raised skin. The silence seemed to stretch on forever before she spoke, her voice cracking with emotion. “It must have been painful when it happened...”
Ye Fan was momentarily stunned before he shook his head. “I don't remember. It's all in the past now,” he reassured Junie with a gentle smile.
“All right, Junie. Let's start now,” he urged. “Once the treatment is over, I'll accompany you back to India.”
She gave no verbal reply and simply nodded her head.
With that, the start of Ye Fan's final treatment commenced on a wintry night.
Even he himself did not know how long the scars of this treatment would remain engraved in his skin.
Meanwhile, Lu Ziming had arrived at the Zhang family to meet up with Zhang Jiuling.
The appearance of Ye Fan had dissolved the tension between the two rival families.
“What did you say? Chu Tianfan went to your house?” Zhang Jiuling repeated, incredulous.
Lu Ziming recounted everything about Ye Fan's visit to the old man.
Zhang Jiuling was a senior martial expert with years of experience under his belt. With a ticking time bomb living in Jiangbei, there were many things that Lu Ziming could discuss with only him.
“Yes,” Lu Ziming affirmed and continued solemnly, “I suspect another breakthrough is around the corner.”
