Tang Yun purposely spoke in a cold and neutral tone so that nobody would be able to hear her true emotions. Nobody noticed that Tang Yun had a slightly anxious and upset expression on her face.
After she took a look at Ye Fan, she turned her back on him again, as if she was deliberately trying to avoid meeting Ye Fan's gaze.
"A friend?" Ye Fan shook his head and laughed quietly. His laughter carried a tinge of emotion.
After he was done laughing, he looked up at that beautiful silhouette again. "That friend is actually referring to yourself, right? So, should I call you Yu Yun, or should I respectfully refer to you as Sect Leader Tang Yun?" said Ye Fan in a somewhat sad and self-deprecating manner.
The beautiful woman trembled upon hearing what Ye Fan said.
She stood where she was without speaking for a long time, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Slight shock appeared on that incomparably gorgeous face of hers under the veil.
She didn't expect him to recognize her.
She thought that she could hide her identity since she was all dressed up and had a veil over her face.
But now she realized that even if she could hide her identity from everyone else, she would never be able to hide herself from Ye Fan.
They had spent many days together, and had been in intimate contact with one another as well.
In fact, Ye Fan was the only person in the world to have such close bodily contact with her.
How could someone so familiar with her body be fooled by this simple disguise of hers?
Tang Yun fell silent. She didn't know how she should answer this question of his.
The name 'Tang Yun' and 'Yu Yun' was only a difference of one word, but the meaning they held were vastly different.
One referred to that glorious woman who stood at the pinnacle of power within the martial arts world.
The other referred to that constantly hungry girl who pilfered food at the old Chu manor.
Everyone was silent for a long, long time.
Ye Fan didn't continue asking, while Tang Yun didn't say anything. Her heart seemed to be in great turmoil.
After a long time, Tang Yun's aloof voice finally spoke again, "As I said, on account of a friend of mine, I will spare your life. If you don't want to disappoint her kind intentions, then please leave now. Do not become enemies with the Chu family and Chu Sect anymore. If not, don't blame my long sword for being heartless."
Ye Fan immediately burst out laughing when he heard these words. His laughter was loud and uninhibited, and it sounded hurt at the same time.
"On account of a friend? Don't blame your long sword for being heartless? In that case, please tell that friend of yours that I, Chu Tian-Fan, is just an unimportant, lowly and despicable person, so I really can't accept these kind intentions of hers, and I'm not worthy of her concern."
"In the future, I will walk the path I have chosen, and it will have nothing to do with her. Whether I head for the Chu house or not, or whether I become enemies with Chu Sect or not, are solely my own choice. Nobody else has the right to tell what to do or what not to do."
"You!" Tang Yun's face was livid and she glared furiously at Ye Fan.
She was so angry inside.
Why was this idiot being so stubborn?
Didn't he know what the Chu family was capable of? Didn't he know how powerful they were?
Didn't he know that becoming enemies with the Chu family was equivalent to becoming enemies with Chu Sect?
But immediately after he said those words, Tang Yun swung her palm towards him and a force hit him directly on the cheek.
"Shut up! How dare you interrupt my conversation!" Tang Yun reprimanded him in a furious voice.
Tang Yun's attitude towards Chu Qi-Tian compared to her attitude towards Ye Fan was as different as the earth from the sky.
She was able to tolerate anything Ye Fan did, but she was annoyed with even one word from Chu Qi-Tian.
Chu Qi-Tian felt that he had been treated unfairly, but since she was the sect leader, he could only hang his head and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Give up?” Ye Fan snorted coldly.
"I have endured this for ten years, and I have suffered for so long. I was humiliated, thrown out and hunted down. Do you know why I've suffered quietly all these years? Do you know why I've trained myself so hard in martial arts? Do you know how difficult the Chu family has made my life? You don't know anything, but you want me to give it all up just because you say so. Do you think that's possible?" Ye Fan's slew of questions sounded like the continuous rumbling of thunder.
"I'm telling you now - it's impossible! I will not let off anybody from the Chu family. I will make them pay a hundred times over for the humiliation my mother and I suffered back then! I'm going to make them kneel at our feet and beg for our forgiveness! If they refuse to kneel, they shall die! If they refuse to admit their
wrongs, I will kill them!"
"I have learnt martial arts and built up my body precisely to become able to finish my enemies off quickly and cleanly. Nobody can stop me.”
His powerful and passionate words were as loud and jarring as gold bars falling onto the floor.
Tang Yun only became even angrier after hearing these words. "Ye Fan, can you stop being so childish? The Chu family is powerful beyond your imagination. You don't come from a well-to-do background, so besides this raging passion of yours, what else do you have to fight a family with centuries of martial arts history? What are you going to use to fight the most powerful sect in the martial arts world? If you continue to be stubborn and stick to this path, then you're definitely on the path to death! You will die this way!”
