Chapter 2155
Ye Fan's tone was firm as his words rang in the air.
Tang Yun was completely stunned when she heard that.
She was unable to accept the fact that the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique she prided herself in was created by the Chu family's ancestor.
In other words, Ye Fan was the true inheritor of that technique.
Shaking her head, she stubbornly exclaimed, “No, t-that's not true. I don't believe you. You're lying! You're just speaking nonsense!”
However, Ye Fan wasn't interested in explaining any further. “It's your choice if you want to believe it or not. In any case, I've defeated you. From today onward, you don't have the right to look down on me any longer.”
He was aware Tang Yun was an extremely strong-willed individual. There are many things she refuses to understand, not that she's incapable of understanding them, including the fact that I once taught her sword techniques. She's starting to believe what I said, but she just doesn't want to admit it. In that case, I'm not going to force her. After all, my main enemy today is still Chu Yuan.
After dealing with Tang Yun, Ye Fan stepped toward Chu Yuan with Sword of Yunyang in his hand.
“W-What are you planning to do?” The shocked Chu Yuan shuddered when he saw Ye Fan approaching him.
A chill ran down his spine.
“What do you think, old man?” Ye Fan grinned with murderous intent. Finally, the moment I've been waiting for has arrived. After I was kicked out of Mount Chumen more than a decade ago, I married into
the Qiu family and was pursued by Chu Sect for many years. I've suffered too much pain and taken too many detours. But now, I have arrived at my destination. It is time for me to inflict justice on the culprit behind my endless misery, Chu Yuan. This time, no one can stop me!
When Chu Zhengliang tried to block his path, Ye Fan had sealed him at the peak of Mount Chumen. Then, when Chu Qitian stood in his way, he reduced the former to a mere prisoner. Half an hour ago, Tang Yun came here to stop him, but she was defeated by his hand as well. Now, no one could prevent him from exacting his revenge.
Chu Yuan was finally starting to panic.
His stately expression had withered away as he stared at Ye Fan with a frightened look. I could've never imagined this disowned child would grow to become so powerful more than ten years later! Neither Chu Zhengliang, Tang Yun, nor the entire Chu Sect could stop him! And now, he basically has me by my throat. Is this heaven's will? God's will? Did the man in front of me descend from the heavens to stop me from achieving my grand ambitions?
No one could understand how sorrowful he felt at that moment. I was so close to success! So close to achieving my dream! I never expected to be defeated by the brat I disowned years ago!
Despite his lamentation, he wasn't going to give up just like that.
Squeezing out a smile, Chu Yuan said, “I'm your grandfather, my dear grandson. Is it really necessary for you to do this? We're a family! There's no need to cause such a ruckus. Other people will make fun of us, you know. I was wrong to exile you back then. It's my fault, and I apologize. I can still lead the Chu family to apologize to your mother and personally bring her back to the Chu residence. After that, I can send people to bring your father back, too. Don't you think it'll be nice if all four generations of the Chu family can live under the same roof? That little fellow over there is your son, right? I didn't expect to have a great-grandson already. I'm truly getting old...”
As he spoke, he stretched his hand toward Ye Fan in an attempt to pat the latter, like an elderly grandfather affectionately caressing his grandson's head. Now that I've compromised, Ye Fan will no doubt spare me. I know he's a sentimental guy. Besides, I don't think we have a massive grudge against each other. All I did back then was chase him and his mother out of the family. There's no need for any blood to be shed over that. I just need to correct my mistake and invite his family back into the Chu family. At most, I'll kneel in front of him and his mother before apologizing to them. Then, we'll be able to keep on living as a loving family.
Ye Fan laughed when he heard that.
His laughter was filled with mockery and melancholy. “Don't you think it's too late for you to say all that, old man? Three years ago, when I first visited Chu Sect, all I wanted was justice, and none of you gave that to me. Not only did all of you refuse to apologize to me, you even attacked Angie. Then, you gathered martial artists from around the world to surround me and force me to commit suicide! Only now do you see me as your grandson? Why didn't you do so when you forced me to commit suicide? When you encircled Jiangdong before murdering my friends and family?”
With each question he spat out unyieldingly, he took one thunderous, mighty step forward.
In the end, Chu Yuan was rendered speechless as his cheeks flushed.
“I... I...” His mouth was wide open, yet he couldn't formulate a retort. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Ultimately, he wore a bitter smile and shamelessly pleaded, “It's all just a big misunderstanding, my dear grandchild. I was just being silly back then. Now that I've snapped out of my foolishness, I won't make the same mistake again. I promise I'll make up for all my wrongdoings. We're a family, related by blood! Don't you think you should let the past stay in the past?”
“Let the past stay in the past?” Ye Fan sneered with rage, “That's easy for you to say. I may be able to do that, but can Angie, whose eyes were gouged out and who is still currently unconscious, do that?
Can the people of Dragon God Hall you killed?”
Each word he uttered resounded in all directions like thunder.
When members of the Jones family heard what he said, they couldn't help but cry, especially Angie's brother, Michael.
He was moved because he didn't expect Ye Fan to remember his sister still or that she was one of the reasons Ye Fan faced Chu Sect.
“You've always had a better eye for people than me, Angie,” Michael muttered as he wiped his tears away.
Gaius and the others were touched, too.
So many of their comrades who fought alongside them and Ye Fan over the years were no longer around.
Even though victory was at hand, Long Baichuan and the others couldn't live to see it.
“Are you really determined to kill your grandfather? Even birds know how to repay the hand that feeds them. Are you going to show everyone that you can't even do what birds can? Aren't you afraid of being mocked by everyone for this unfilial act?” Chu Yuan was still trying to save his own skin.
However, Ye Fan was done wasting his time with the man. “Stop pretending, old man. You fooled everyone, but you can't fool Old Madam Chu. She told me my silly grandfather was already dead. I found Chu Yuan's grave on the Chu residence's forbidden grounds. You're just someone wearing Chu Yuan's face. I do wonder who's the person hiding underneath that mask.”
