So this was all about Chu Lanwei?


    I, Young Master Ye, couldn''t get a grip?


    Ha-ha!


    If this old thing hadn''t shown up just now, Ye Fan would have already taken action!


    Whether you can get a grip or not, you''ve got to try to find out, right?


    Besides, if one hand can''t get a grip, surely two hands can, right?


    "Hmph! In all my life, since when did I, Ye Fan, need your guidance?" Ye Fan stared coldly at the gray-robed elder, "Leave this place immediately, and compensate for the damage caused to the Xia Family!"


    Ye Fan didn''t indulge the elder at all!


    Ye Fan had feigned ignorance and shown restraint for a long time only to find the true culprit behind the Ye Family''s plight.


    Now that he had traced it to Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng, it was no longer possible for the big shots behind the scenes to extricate themselves.


    There was no need for Ye Fan to continue pretending... Especially since Ye Fan had now achieved the strength of a Seventh Rank Martial Emperor.


    Ye Fan had already ascertained just now that this old man, though indeed a strong Martial Emperor Level fighter, had at most the strength of a Martial Emperor Third Grade, which did not frighten Ye Fan!


    "Ha-ha! It''s not wrong for a young man to be arrogant, but if you''re arrogant in the wrong place, that''s not good!" the elder said calmly, looking at Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, I truly sympathize with what happened to the Ye Family... But since Young Master Ye was fortunate enough to survive, you should live well with your tail between your legs and give up on other ideas! Otherwise, if something happens to Young Master Ye, then the Ye Family will truly be without a successor!"


    A threat!


    Sarcasm!


    This old man was deliberately poking at Ye Fan''s sore spots!


    The Ye Family was almost wiped out, and even now, though there were clues to the real behind-the-scenes culprit, in reality, Ye Fan was only dealing with some minions and had not yet reached the true villain behind it all.


    This was a source of immense frustration for Ye Fan!


    "Old thing... your mouth really stinks!"


    While scolding, Ye Fan used Teleportation, his body swiftly flashing in front of the gray-robed elder, and without any hesitation, he slapped the elder''s face hard.


    Snap!


    A crisp and muffled sound echoed at the entrance of the courtyard, and the elder''s body even turned twice in the direction of the slap.


    "You little beast, you actually..."


    "Princess Consort, should we intervene? Elder Han is after all a Martial Emperor level master, and Ye Fan may struggle to deal with him!" The maid by her side looked worriedly at Ye Fan. "After all, to achieve our goal, we must have the Ye Family''s support!"


    Chu Lanwei smiled faintly, "Struggle? Hmph! You underestimate Ye Fan... If he were to struggle with a single elder, I fear he would have died countless times already! Just wait and see, we''ll step in only if it''s really necessary!" Read exclusive content at empire


    Chu Lanwei watched Ye Fan with a devilish smirk on her lips.


    During her close contact with Ye Fan earlier, Chu Lanwei had clearly felt the warm flow emanating from his body.


    Could it be that all she needed was close contact to receive this infinite warm flow and enhance her own strength?


    Was this really the secret of Ye Fan, a monstrous prodigy?


    Chu Lanwei started to understand why the seven sisters-in-law of the Ye Family, even in such a hopeless situation, still announced they would marry Ye Fan.


    As long as this treasure that was Ye Fan existed, the Ye Family could never be extinguished... and besides, the current Ye Fan was no longer the naive fool he had been five years ago.


    The arch-enemies of the Ye Family were probably going to die miserably!


    The man that Chu Lanwei, the one I set my sights on, is surely a proud son of heaven.


    The Number One Bed in the World, even getting a glimpse isn''t for everyone, let alone having any designs on it!


    ...


    At the entrance of the courtyard, the powerful Qi Forces of two Martial Emperor level powerhouses clashed against each other, making the air suffocating!


    "Is that so? A nationwide hunt... I''m... so scared..." Ye Fan said with a mocking smile, feigning fear, and addressed the grey-robed old man, "Then please enlighten me, elder, what should I do to avoid such a disaster?"


    The royal family wasn''t made up of fools; they would definitely not hunt down Ye Fan!


    Now that Ye Fan was the leader of the Xuanwu and Tianlong domains, commanding a million-strong army, how suicidal would the royal family have to be to hunt him down?


    But what Ye Fan wondered was who exactly was behind this grey-robed old man, hence he played along with the old man''s act!


    "Hehe! So you do know fear, huh? To avoid all this is simple: first, refuse to heal Princess Consort Chu Lanwei; second, kneel before me and apologize; and third, hand over the fragment of the map you possess... Fulfill these three conditions, and I can guarantee your life will be worry-free..."


    Huh?


    The first two demands were within Ye Fan''s expectations, but upon hearing the third, his brow began to furrow!


    Still coveting the Heavenly Palace Map Fragment that I possess?


    Hehe!


    Such greed...
