Best Young Master

Shen Ximen knew that Ye Fan never fought unprepared battles, and since he spoke so assuredly, there must be confidence in preventing the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect from having their way.

On the contrary, if the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect really came for assassination, they would likely end with no return, as he discerned sharp murderous intent in Ye Fan’s gaze.

“Time will tell!”

Ye Fan deliberately, left a bit of mystery.

…

That day, the entire Tianyuan City was buzzing over the tales of Ye Fan, the great fool. Everyone felt that while Ye Fan was powerful with unrivaled potential, his emotional intelligence was too low, and he was wholly inept in social dealings.

Moreover, he neglected the situation, ignoring the invitation from Treasure Pavilion and Spirit Manor, powerful forces second only to the Holy Land and Di Clan, choosing to remain in a small sect like the Xuanwu Sect, cutting off his developmental path.

These words naturally reached the ears of Chu Family Master Chu Yuankong and Tianyuan Sect Supreme Elder Jiang Qingfeng.

“This is truly a case of Heaven having a road you refuse to take, No Gate to Hell but you choose to come, simply seeking death of own accord!”

Upon hearing the news, Chu Yuankong could hardly believe his ears. After confirming multiple times, the killing intent he had suppressed exploded entirely.

Originally, were Ye Fan to join any of the three major forces, the Chu Family would have had no chance for vengeance.

Although the Chu Family is powerful, it’s only somewhat famous in a small place like Tianyuan State. It’s not even comparable to the Three Great Sects such as the Xuanwu Sect and the Qing Xuan Sect, let alone competing with the Treasure Pavilion and the Spirit Manor whose influence spans the entire Green.

Unexpectedly, things took such a turn. Ye Fan didn’t choose any faction, which instantly gave him great confidence in seeking revenge.

As long as Ye Fan hasn’t joined any of the three major forces, he has the courage to kill Ye Fan, to avenge his son and nephew.

“Father, since that beast hasn’t chosen any faction, we absolutely cannot let him go this time. We must flay him alive and grind his bones to dust!”

Chu Feng was consumed with hatred. If it weren’t for Ye Fan, he would have been the top genius of the Xuanwu Sect and might even have taken over the entire Xuanwu Sect in the future.

But all of this was ruined by Ye Fan, and he himself was stripped of his cultivation, with no hope of rejoining the ranks of cultivators for life!

“Don’t worry, I will not let that little beast return to the Xuanwu Sect alive!”

Chu Yuankong lovingly patted Chu Feng’s hair, his face ashen. He had decided that no matter the cost, he must kill Ye Fan, or he would be unable to face his own son.

“Is Brother Chu here? This old man has arrived!”

As Chu Feng and his father were agreeing that Ye Fan must be killed no matter what, an old voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Hmm?

Upon hearing the voice, Chu Yuankong was taken aback at first, then joyful at heart.

Tianyuan Sect, Jiang Qingfeng!

He was too familiar with this voice. Ever since Chu Feng was crippled, Chu Yuankong knew that the Chu Family and the Xuanwu Sect were already at loggerheads.

But even as the strongest of the Five Great Families, the Chu Family did not have the strength to contend with the Xuanwu Sect alone, and he had to find a solid ally.

And with the unresolved enmity between the Tianyuan Sect and the Xuanwu Sect, the Tianyuan Sect was naturally the best ally.

While secretly pleased, Chu Yuankong immediately opened the door and welcomed Jiang Qingfeng inside.

“Elder Jiang, please sit. Feng’er, serve tea to Elder Jiang!”

Chu Yuankong knew why Jiang Qingfeng had come to see him, but he didn’t point it out and instead courteously entertained, waiting for Jiang Qingfeng to speak first.

Jiang Qingfeng also understood Chu Yuankong’s thoughts, and with a wave of his hand, he set up a soundproof barrier in the room to prevent eavesdropping, then said grimly, “Brother Chu, no need for formalities. I believe you’re aware of my intentions. Our goals align, so there’s no need to beat around the bush.”

“Please speak, Elder Jiang!”

Chu Yuankong felt a stirring in his heart. He naturally knew what Jiang Qingfeng wanted. Their objectives were the same, so there was no need for any scruples.
