A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2305

However, this was for the best.

Even if Angie and the others were to find out, it would only make them more worried. That served no purpose whatsoever.

It was better to let them be at peace, enjoying the serene beauty of their youth.

As for all the trials and tribulations, it was enough for Ye Fan to face them alone.

“Hmm? Ye Fan, are you hurt?”

With Duanmu Wan'er treatment, Angie's vision had somewhat recovered.

Of course, she had only regained some of her vision.

Transplanted eyes, after all, were never quite the same as one's own.

However, even so, Angie could still vaguely make out some of the scars on Ye Fan's body.

“Ye Fan had gotten into something last night, thanks to your—” Duanmu Waner was about to reveal what Ye Fan had done the previous night.

“Wan'er...” Ye Fan called out, interrupting Duanmu Wan'er midway.

He then laughed and said, “Don't worry, Angie. I got these scratches from wrestling with that silly calf last night.”

At that moment, Huangniu's eyes widened in surprise.

So I'm the scapegoat this time?

Huangniu wanted to explain, but Ye Fan quickly placated it with the promise of women.

They were going to inconvenience Huangniu for now. Once they had the chance to go out, Ye Fan was going to treat him to some fun at the red-light district.

Upon hearing about the women, Huangniu was finally satisfied and took the blame for Ye Fan.

“Angie, why don't you go get some food first? I think Huangniu must be starving.”

Ye Fan found an excuse to send both Angie and Huangniu away.

Right now, only Ye Fan and Duanmu Wan'er remained.

“Ye Fan, why didn't you tell her? You took this risk for her, didn't you?” Duanmu Wan'er asked, puzzled.

Ye Fan waved his hand. “The disaster that befell Angie was my fault. It's only right that I do this.”

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Wan'er immediately let out a sigh.

She thought that Ye Fan was truly too kind to certain people.

“Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. What happened to Symborsus? Did you kill him? What about the Sky Gate Formation?”

Duanmu Wan'er continued to inquire about the events from last night.

Last night, Duanmu Wan'er didn't sleep a wink. She was constantly waiting for news from Ye Fan.

Thankfully, this guy made it back safely.

“Wan'er, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.”

Ye Fan then briefly recounted the events of the previous night.

He then told her about the bizarre scene he witnessed after Sky Gate was pushed open.

“Wan'er, you are quite knowledgeable. Do you know what's really going on? Could it be that the secret to sainthood lies within those golden light orbs?” Ye Fan asked with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Wan'er was also extremely puzzled.

Her attractive eyebrows were soon furrowed.

“You're saying that after Sky Gate was opened, there were golden light orbs flowing out from within? Have you ever tried to walk through that door?” Duanmu Wan'er asked.

Ye Fan nodded. “I've tried, but it seems like some sort of barrier has been placed on that door. Despite giving it my all, I couldn't advance in the slightest. Judging by the situation, I think one can only exit from that door and not enter through it.”

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Wan'er's brows undoubtedly furrowed even deeper.

“That's strange. How could this be? According to the records of my clan, once Sky Gate is opened, the one who opens it will have the opportunity to enter and experience a calamity. After surviving that calamity, one will undergo a transformation and attain sainthood, completely shedding the mortal coil of the physical body. However, the situation you described is completely different from the records in my clan's archives.”

Duanmu Wan'er couldn't help but feel puzzled as well.

The hint of surprise between her eyebrows became increasingly pronounced.

Ye Fan was also feeling extremely downcast.

Initially, he embarked on Celestial Road in order to gain power and achieve sainthood.

But now, the situation had changed.

Perhaps to others, Wan'er's action seemed like a trivial matter.

However, Ye Fan fully understood the weight of this decision.

Wan'er was a very simple and straightforward girl.

Her simplicity was evident in that the sole purpose of her life was to wait in this cave for her brother to come and fetch her.

If she left, she could have missed the chance to reunite with him.

This is also why, for hundreds of years, Wan'er had never thought about leaving.

Even during Ye Fan's life-and-death battle last night, Wan'er only stayed at the entrance of the cave, praying for Ye Fan without stepping out.

But now, in order to help Ye Fan uncover the secrets of Sky Gate, she decided to take a trip outside.

“Didn't you say that the person occupying Angie's eyes had already been killed by you? That settles it, then. On this trip out, we'll also retrieve Angie's Jade Eyes. That way, it would be greatly beneficial for Angie's recovery.”

It seemed that Duanmu Wan'er had already planned out many things for Ye Fan to do.

“Alright. I really appreciate it, Wan'er. Thank you.”

Once again, Ye Fan expressed his gratitude to Duanmu Wan'er.

Afterward, he dared not waste any more time. He quickly found a secluded stone chamber to rest and heal his injuries, regaining his vitality.

As Ye Fan was healing his wounds, outside the secret realm, atop Kransbay, the number of people rushing there was increasing.

That river of golden light orbs dotted with stars seemed like a miracle to everyone.

Many people were filled with curiosity. What exactly were those golden light orbs?

“Gaius, where is your Dragon Master? Aren't you with him?”

While the group of martial artists pondered over the light orbs that resembled the Milky Way, Junie, and the others had also traveled thousands of miles to reach Kransbay.

They found Gaius and inquired about the whereabouts of Ye Fan.

However, Gaius simply shook his head. “I don't know either. The Dragon Master only instructed me to keep watch here while he left with Japan's Tsukuyomi Tenshin. I have no idea where they've gone.”

Upon hearing this, Junie immediately became worried and confused.
