A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2307 The Arrival

“Can we stop making things worse? With the whereabouts of Dragon Master currently unknown and the situation unclear, locating his whereabouts remains the top priority instead of fabricating gossip concerning him. Repeated lies become the truth, you know. I fear everyone will believe it if you keep this up. When future generations pen history after Dragon Master's passing, this will inevitably affect his reputation and historical standing.”

Gaius was helpless.

This woman always seems to focus on the most peculiar things. Even before the dust of the great war has a chance to settle, there are already suspicions arising about Dragon Master having an illegitimate child with Tang Yun. Fortunately, his wife has disappeared with her whereabouts unknown. Otherwise, Qiu Mucheng, the first lady of Dragon God Hall, would go ballistic if this matter reached her ears.

In response to Gaius' warning, Junie merely snorted coldly and turned away.

Now that she thought about it, Junie was certain that Chu Lin bore a striking resemblance to Tang Yun.

They look like peas in a pod.

Junie had not given the matter much thought before, but now, what was initially said in jest, only made her more suspicious.

“Hmph! This detestable fellow, Ye Fan! As if having Qiu Mucheng in Yunzhou isn't enough, he has Tang Yun stowed away in his ancestral home! What's worse, they even had a child together. He hasn't even had a child with me!”

A sense of resentment rose within Junie.

All along, she had felt that apart from Qiu Mucheng, she was the closest one to Ye Fan out of all the women around him.

But it was apparent now that, she, Junie, was forced to wait in line.

“Dragon Master has instructed me to stand guard here, Junie. It appears that only you can go search for him. He's probably still recuperating. When you locate him, you can treat his injuries,” Gaius urged.

“Hmph! Whoever wants to go can go. I'm certainly not going,” Junie said indignantly.

She was becoming convinced that Ye Fan was nothing but a fickle heartbreaker.

So much for all that talk about being mortal enemies with Chu Sect. Now look where we are. His men are working themselves to the bone for him, and yet, he's off secretly getting involved with the head Chu Sect and have even possibly gotten her pregnant with his child.

The situation felt like two countries at war.

Though the soldiers on both sides were engaging in fierce battles and fighting valiantly amidst blood and sweat during the day, however, the king and queen become as thick as thieves, making love passionately come nightfall.

When the dust settles in the aftermath of the battle, the queen on the opposite side gives birth to the prince. Simply outrageous.

Just from the look on her face, Gaius could tell that Junie was jealous and upset with Ye Fan, possibly even feeling indignant for his comrades at Dragon God Hall.

However, Gaius was not upset at all. Instead, he tried to console her. “Don't be upset, Junie. I can't quite explain the relationship between the Dragon Master and Tang Yun as matters of the heart

cannot simply be decided by others. However, it would be a good thing if they really are together. When I was imprisoned by Chu Sect for a year with Owen and the others, we managed to keep our lives intact despite having suffered a great ordeal. I thought it was Angie's father who had been secretly protecting us, but now it seems that it was Tang Yun's authority that had saved our lives. Besides, don't you think it's a good thing that the Master of Chu Sect has taken a liking to Dragon Master? Look at the current situation. With the head of Chu Sect still alive but not no longer swearing vengeance, it's very likely that she has been pacified by Dragon Master. Perhaps, the downfall of Chu Sect had something to do with Dragon Master's skills in the bedroom.”

That rascal Gaius is at it again, spouting nonsense.

Junie's expression darkened.

“Shut up! You old lecher, I bet it was you and your gang of scoundrels who've led Ye Fan astray!”

Junie was so angry that she was ready to hit Gaius.

Oh, how innocent Ye Fan was when I first met him. He would actually blush when I teased him! And now, thanks to Gaius and these old perverts, his wife alone is no longer enough. Wait, that's not right. Even his wife is gone. Didn't Qiu Mucheng leave in a fit of rage because of him?

After finishing her tirade, Junie then turned to leave.

Though she was still resentful, Junie could never bear to turn her back on Ye Fan.

“Tell us, Gaius. How did your Dragon Master conquer Chu Sect? Was it really with his skills in the bedroom?”

After Junie left, the group of nosy old lechers gathered around, eager to hear the latest gossip about Ye Fan.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingtian was deeply hurt.

He could not fathom the fact that Tang Yun, whom he had loved, ended up with Ye Fan.

What was even harder to accept was how old their child was.

“Sigh...”

“Poor me, Ye Qingtian, to have been pursuing the fair maiden for nearly a decade only to have a newcomer seize the opportunity before me.”

Ye Qingtian was filled with regret.

Tang Yun was not even twenty years of age when she made a name for himself in the martial arts world.

Her talents were as astonishing as her beauty was extraordinary.

It was said that she had captivated all the young talents in the martial arts world upon her emergence.

Among them was Ye Qingtian himself.

In the end, none of them managed to win Tang Yun's heart that year.

In the end, it turned out to be some young upstart who conquered her.

“Scram! Preposterous. Dragon Master had Chu Sect destroyed honorably with fair play. It isn't an exaggeration!” Gaius scolded, his expression darkening as he told them off to stop spreading untruths.

However, some matters tend to become murkier the more they were discussed.

“Skills in the bedroom are still skills.”

...

“Exactly!”

“We need more details. Without the juicy bits, the vicarious experience just isn't as satisfying.”

...

The group of old men continued chattering away, each taking turns to speak.

“Oh, my!”

“So, all of you think you're more experienced than me?”

Gaius' eyelid twitched as he gazed exasperatedly at the group before him, who were not taking him seriously at all.

However, after the banter, some of them began to return to their respective countries.

The remaining few, on the other hand, chose to stay behind at Mount Kransbay to observe the changes.

After all, Sky Gate is still open.

The golden specks of the light orbs had never once stopped in their descent.

None of them knew how Mount Kransbay was going to change.

In order to keep informed of the developments in real-time, almost every country and organization in the world left a few representatives on Mount Kransbay.

In this manner, several peaceful days passed without incident.

Three days later, two figures suddenly appeared at the foot of Mount Kransbay.

“Kransbay is temporarily closed. Visitors are not permitted entry. Please leave at once, both of you!”

Indeed, the entire scenic area of Kransbay had been closed off over the past couple of days.

Bustling with tourists in the past, only those authorized by the International Martial Arts Union were allowed entry during this period of control.

It was also a measure to protect the safety of civilians.

The pair did not respond when they were confronted with the obstacle.

Even their stride did not slow down for a moment.

Treading on the boulders, they moved forward at a leisurely pace.

The sandy breeze sweeping the foot of Mount Kransbay tugged at their hair, making them dance in the breeze.

One of them was a woman in a red dress, which swayed in the wind.

“Insolence! Take another step, and face certain death!”

The formidable Supremes guarding the mountain pass issued a final ultimatum. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, they were just about to take action when they managed to make out who the newcomer was.

The woman was breathtakingly beautiful, with fair and flawless skin. Her complexion was as exquisite as snow.

Her face must have the masterpiece of the Creator; pure and unblemished, it was like the blooming Ice Stream atop Sky Mountain.

As white as snow, crystal clear, and impeccably pure.

Such a woman must surely be a gift from the heavens.
