A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1767

The Chu family was not the only one with a precious heirloom, but the Tangs too owned one.

Once upon a time, both families were united through marriage.

Rumor had it that the great ancestor of the Tangs was the soul mate of Chu Yunyang, the great ancestor of the Chu family.

That explained why the family homes of the Chus and the Tangs were located in the same area, at the Chu residence.

It was said that the Tang family was a rare few who could rival the Chu family.

Then again, for hundreds and even a thousand years now, the latter had always been regarded as less superior compared to the former.

The Tang daughters married the Chu patriarchs in almost all the past generations.

Hence, it was not surprising that they had more than one family treasure being handed down from one generation to another.

One of the most valuable pieces of keepsakes was the Purple Ray Jade worn by Tang Yun.

Besides that jade pendant, Tang Yun also had another one passed down from her mother, which she had gifted Ye Fan.

I'm sure Ye Fan has thrown it away since I've done so many hurtful things to him.

The rays emitted from the purple lotus did not sustain as long as she wanted them to be. Gradually, it dimmed upon exhausting its energy.

Though it only lasted for a short span of time, it shielded them from Chu Yuan's blow.

Thankfully, the remaining force which hit them was too weak to injure both Ye Fan and Tang Yun.

Soon, the sandstorm came to a halt, and the debris started to settle down, revealing the two familiar figures before the crowd again.

Suffering from the aftermath, Ye Fan was barely hanging onto his life. He had released way too much energy than his body could bear. As a result, the side effects began to show.

Slumping onto the ground, he was like an inflated balloon, lifeless; even his breathing became labored.

Meanwhile, Tang Yun was still guarding Ye Fan.

“Whatdoyou thinkyou're doing, Tang Yun? How could you have activated the family's Purple Ray Jade for his sake? Didn't you know that it needs an extremely long time to absorb sufficient energy for each use? You've just wasted it on a dead man!” Chu Yuan was raving mad.

Chu Yuan knew about the holy heirloom that had the power to defend any god realm fighter's attack.

However, the Purple Ray Jade needed to be cultivated because of the enormous elemental force required to power it. It would take a great length of time to do that.

Now that Tang Yun had depleted its energy, only God would know when it could be used again.

There was no way Chu Yuan would willingly allow his disciple to utilize such an invaluable asset on their arch enemy.

“Please let him go, Master. Though he had done many wrong things, he's still your grandson, the only child ofZhenghong. Moreover, Great-grandma has personally affirmed him as the eldest grandchild of the Chu family,” Tang Yun pleaded as she wept.

In the end, she had to use hertrump card, which was to bring up the elder's name. She did that with the hopes that Chu Yuan and the others would spare Ye Fan.

“Shut up! This unfilial bast*rd has defied those who came before him and killed so many of the Chu family members. Do you really think that I'll recognize him as one of us? He's not worthy to carry my last name. How could Chu Zhenghong that scoundrel gave birth to such an animal? I'll make sure he gets it too when he returns,” Chu Yuan chastised.

“As for the elder, she's been deceived by this evil thing. I'll explain to her about it as soon as I cut Ye Fan's head off. Don't you worry about this!” With that, Chu Yuan concluded the matter.

Upon hearing what Tang Yun said, the crowd finally understood why she was so decisive in protecting Ye Fan.

Oh, so Chu Zhenghong is Ye Fan's father.

“That's right, Ms. Tang. Don't hesitate any further.”

“Chu Tianfan deserves to die. Even if Zhenghong were present, he most probably won't forgive him either.”

“The Chu family comes first. So, kill Chu Tianfan now.”

The entire clan was tirelessly persuading Tang Yun to stop defending Ye Fan, but their efforts were futile.

Tang Yun remained rooted in front of Ye Fan to shield him.

Chu Yuan was really frustrated and went ballistic. She possesses great innate talent, but she can also very stubborn at times.

“Yun, don't beg him. I'd rather ask any Tom, Dick, and Harry for help than to kowtow before Chu Yuan, the dog. He's unreasonable, unscrupulous, and despicable. Not one trait of the virtues upheld by our ancestors was ever demonstrated by him. He's the black sheep of the family, and I don't need to beseech a shameless guy like that to pardon me.”
