LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 544: Yu Jianfeng, You Have a Dog's Temper!
"But... Elder Ding, how are we to handle the mission assigned by the Palace Master? We can't just return without an explanation. No one is allowed to retreat..."
Elder Ding's deputy was still babbling on, trying to justify himself!
Elder Ding was utterly speechless and gave Ye Fan a meaningful look, "Young Master Ye, how do you normally deal with such a blabbermouth in your secular world?"
The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curled up, and he immediately understood Elder Ding's intention, "Normally, such a person would be chopped up and fed to the dogs!"
Bang!
The very next moment, without waiting for the deputy to react, Ye Fan delivered a fierce punch to the deputy's chest, causing it to cave in. The deputy vomited blood wildly and passed out instantly.
Although it wasn't fatal, he wouldn't be getting out of bed for several months without lying there first!
Elder Ding had already submitted, but his accompanying deputy insisted on causing trouble. Naturally, the only solution was to shut the deputy up. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire
This also served as a warning to others!
After taking down the deputy with a single move, only Elder Ding was still standing among the four middle-aged men who had come with him, all of whom were stronger than a Martial Saint.
The experts in white robes around them, despite the presence of a few Martial Emperor level fighters, didn't stand a chance against fighters of the Martial Saint Realm like Ye Fan. They all bowed their heads in submission, not daring to step forward and seek trouble.
After all, Ye Fan alone had taken down three Martial Saint Realm fighters. Elder Ding had capitulated, so why should they seek discomfort for themselves?
Moreover, weren't there many strong members of the Di Family ready to act at any moment?
"Young Master Ye, what should we do with these people? Should we kill them all?" Di Long was also a fierce character, his battle saber still pressed against Elder Ding's neck, suggesting to wipe out all the people of the Mirror Moon Palace!
Elder Ding's face turned sour at Di Long's words, "Patriarch Di, aren't you being too ruthless? After all, the Di Family has cooperated with the Mirror Moon Palace. Do you really have no regard for old ties?"
Di Long sneered, "Elder Ding, cut the crap! All of you wanted to kidnap the Young Master's Wife and kill my Young Master. How could I even talk to you about past ties? Besides, the Di Family has never acknowledged being a vassal family to the Mirror Moon Palace; it was simply a cooperative relationship. We might help out with some secular world matters at our discretion! Now that our Young Master has reclaimed his position, naturally, we won't do anything for your Mirror Moon Palace!"
"..." Elder Ding sighed heavily without hope, casting a thoughtful glance at Ye Fan, extremely curious about his identity and origin.
Ye Fan waved his hand and said to Patriarch Di, "Let them all go, Patriarch Di."
Elder Ding might look intimidating, but Ye Fan knew he probably wasn't an entirely bad person.
By sparing Yu Jianfeng's life, he had also given himself a chance to survive.
Swish!
All the Di Family members sheathed their drawn battle sabers, and all of Elder Ding's forces regained their freedom.
"Please!" Ye Fan looked at Elder Ding, "Go back and tell your Palace Master that I will come to Mirror Moon Palace, but not in the way you want, in my way!"
His mother had established the Divine Gate in the secular world, suppressed the Evil Cult, and left behind many hidden forces for him. Coupled with the video materials shown to him by Nangong Aoyue, Ye Fan had a suspicion that perhaps his mother was not from the secular world, but from the Immortal Domain?
So, sooner or later, Ye Fan felt that he too would visit the Immortal Domain!
"Sigh!" Elder Ding gave Ye Fan a deep look, realizing that this heaven-defying genius was going to be difficult for the Mirror Moon Palace to subdue.
He was so young yet already possessed the strength of a Fourth Grade Martial Saint; it would be an easy feat for Ye Fan to break through to the Martial Saint Peak and advance to the next Realm in the near future.
Should he do something for the Mirror Moon Palace?
Although the struggle for Yu Linglong might have displeased Ye Fan, both parties still showed each other face, and there was room for maneuver.
"Yu Jianfeng, twenty years ago, when I came to your doorstep, you didn't even invite me in for tea. Now that the opportunity has come, you surely ought to invite me in for a cup of tea, right?" Ding Xiu didn't rush to leave, instead, he turned and looked at Yu Jianfeng with a smile.
The situation at the scene kept reversing, to the point where Yu Jianfeng's brain felt like it was overheating!
But in the end, the outcome was clear: Ye Fan had completely outplayed Ding Xiu. The hidden family, the Di Family, had even sided with Ye Fan, so it was absolutely impossible for Ding Xiu to take Yu Linglong away with him today.
"Damn it! Ding Xiu, have you no shame? You're trying to take away my wife and daughter, and you still want to drink my tea? Dream on. I'll cut you..." Yu Jianfeng, who had already been deflated just moments before, now felt his spine stiffening again.
As he scolded, he looked around and finally pulled out a battle saber from the waist of one of the Di Family's men and swung it toward Ding Xiu, "Give me back my wife, watch me not slay you!"
With his strength at the Martial Venerable Realm, Yu Jianfeng naturally couldn't be a match for Ding Xiu.
But with his son-in-law present to intimidate, what did Yu Jianfeng have to fear?
Seeing her father act this way, Yu Linglong touched her forehead with a sense of embarrassment!
Ah!
Is this what they call a small man coming into power? That must be referring to father, right?
Faced with Yu Jianfeng swinging his saber, Ding Xiu wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he calmly took out an envelope and held it high above his head, "Yu Jianfeng, still so hot-headed after twenty years. Go ahead and chop if you dare. It seems you don't care for the letter Shui Qingrou wrote to you; I might as well tear it to pieces!"
While speaking, Ding Xiu held the envelope as if he really intended to tear it up.
"Ah? Qingrou asked you to bring me a letter?" Yu Jianfeng instantly froze in place, and the motion of swinging his saber also stopped mid-air.
Clang!
The battle saber in Yu Jianfeng's hand fell to the ground, as he stared intently at the envelope in Ding Xiu's hand, his lips trembling, "Qingrou wrote me a letter? Don't tear it, don't tear it..."
Yu Jianfeng stretched out his hands as if trying to catch something falling from the sky, his face a mix of nervousness, anticipation, and excitement!
Twenty years!
After twenty silent years, Qingrou still hadn't forgotten him and had actually sent a letter through Ding Xiu?
Ding Xiu's intention was merely to scare Yu Jianfeng; he naturally wouldn't actually tear up the letter, "Hmph! Now, may I be invited in for a cup of tea?"
"Of course! Most definitely... Elder Ding, this way please, I have some excellent West Lake Longjing Tea..." Yu Jianfeng bowed and respectfully led the way, warmly inviting Ding Xiu, "Elder Ding, you said you brought Qingrou's letter; why didn't you say so earlier!"
"Hmph! Did you give me a chance to speak? As always, you're so hotheaded!" Ding Xiu sighed deeply, "Twenty years ago, if I hadn't deliberately refrained from taking Linglong, would you have had twenty years of father-daughter time? But you fool, for those twenty years, insisted on severing ties with Yu Linglong and pretended not to recognize her; your head must be filled with water!"
"Ah... I..." Yu Jianfeng was instantly rendered speechless!
Indeed!
If the people from Mirror Moon Palace were able to track down Shui Qingrou's and his whereabouts so clearly, how could they possibly not be aware of Yu Linglong's existence?
So the fact that they only took Shui Qingrou and left Yu Linglong behind was all because Ding Xiu had let them be?
I've been so foolish!
Truly...
