A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 472 Blue Ripple Lake

"Young Master, are you serious about going personally to fight?" came Han's worried voice over the phone.

After replaceing out that Ye Fan was going to enter the underground match, Han couldn't help but feel surprised and worried, so he had to ask Ye Fan about it again.

"If not? Besides myself, who else do you think could represent the Xue family? Besides, I have to avenge Tong Shan," said Ye Fan coldly.

Han knew that he couldn't persuade Ye Fan otherwise, so he just nodded and said, "Alright then, since you've already decided on this, I won't try to advise you anymore. I just hope that you'll be careful out there. Since the other party is trying to consolidate power in Yanjing, then he will definitely send someone strong. And this person might be a martial artist."

Ye Fan's lips curled upwards as he smiled arrogantly. "And so what? Anyone who harms someone who belongs to me, Chu Tian-Fan, will have to pay a painful price!" Ye Fan smiled coldly and his deep eyes were filled with a terrible iciness.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan went back into the room.

It was late at night.

Ye Fan went in to replace that Xu Lei was already sleeping.

She seemed to have just finished bathing and was lying on the sofa in thin pajamas like a sleeping beauty.

Her breathing was even and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

She looked like she was already asleep.

"This silly girl. Why did she fall asleep on the sofa?" Ye Fan shook his head and laughed helplessly.

He then walked over and carried her to the bed carefully.

"Fan...why...why are you already married... you said...you said you'd let me be your

bride..."

Just when Ye Fan turned, a pair of warm and smooth hands grabbed onto Ye Fan.

Ye Fan turned to see that her eyes were still closed and she seemed to be dreaming. She was frowning slightly and mumbling to herself.

Ye Fan could see the tearstains even in the dim light of the room.

Ye Fan just felt like something tore through his heart and a sourness flowed out.

If they weren't forced to part back then, perhaps Ye Fan might really have married Xu Lei.

But fate had eventually made them miss each other in the end.

"Lei, I can't promise to be your partner for the rest of your life, but I promise to protect you and allow you to live a life free of worry," Ye Fan said to himself in his heart. Then he didn't disturb Xu Lei's rest and walked away.

It was now that Ye Fan realized that this room was more like a bachelor pad.

The entire room only had one double bed.

It was clear that Xue Ren-Yang had arranged the rooms with the idea that Xu Lei was really Ye Fan's woman.

"This terrible old man. He's putting me in a tempting situation!" cursed Ye Fan under his breath. He had no choice but to sleep on the sofa.

Xu Lei wasn't his wife, so he couldn't possibly share the bed with her.

Besides ruining her reputation, he wouldn't be able to account to his wife either.

The night soon passed.

The next day, Xue Ren-Yang went to look for Ye Fan and asked him about joining the match again.

"Dragon Master, are you serious about fighting in the underground match?" asked Xue Ren-Yang in a low voice.

Ye Fan frowned. "Why, you don't believe me?"

"No, no, why would I not believe you? I'm just worried about your safety. But since you're already decided, then come with me to the Lin's. I'll take this chance to recommend you to Zhao Si and Lin Feng," said Xue Ren-Yang.

Ye Fan was puzzled. "You mean this matter has to be decided by other people?"

"Dragon Master, we'll talk on the way."

Soon after, a Land Rover departed from the Xue house and headed for the Lin house.

On the way, Xue Ren-Yang gave a detailed rundown on the underground match.

Every martial arts academy could only send one representative to the underground match.

Even though Longyang Martial Arts Academy was started by the Xue family, the Zhao and Lin families invested in the academy as well due to certain reasons.

As a result, Longyang Martial Arts Academy was now controlled by the Xue, Zhao and Lin families together.

As such, Xue Ren-Yang couldn't decide on who should represent the academy all by himself.

"Back then, the four influential families of Yanjing saw that these three families were advancing too quickly, so they started to attack us on all sides. At the annual underground match, the Xue family would always been badly attacked by these four families."

"Back then, the Xue family wasn't as powerful as we are now, and it was too difficult for us to fight against all four of them. So we had no choice but to form an alliance with the Zhao and Lin families. We were finally able to fight off the four families after that."

"The three up and coming families of Yanjing was thus formed. Longyang Martial Arts Academy is something that came out of our alliance," explained Xue Ren-Yang slowly to Ye Fan in the car.

Ye Fan nodded. "When you're very weak, it's a good choice to form an alliance with others. You made a good move."

As they spoke, the car reached the front of an estate.

"Dragon Master, we're here. This is the Lin's estate. The Lins are a family of doctors, and Old Master Lin is a medical genius. Back then, I suddenly fell severely ill. If Old Master Lin hadn't saved me at a critical time, I would be dead by now," reminisced Xue Ren-Yang while leading Ye Fan into the estate.

The estate was nice and quiet, and there was a manmade lake in the middle.

The blue waters rippled and the koi fish inside swam freely.

There was a pretty little pavilion in the

middle of the lake.

If you looked carefully, you would see a few people sitting quietly in the pavilion, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.

It was a scene of leisure and serenity.

But the only ones who could be so relaxed in the capital city where every inch of land was worth millions were definitely the heads of those super rich and powerful families.

"Ren-Yang, are you already here? Come to the Blue Ripple Lake, I'll get someone to pick you up," said a middle aged man's voice with a laugh over the phone.

The Lin's butler walked down the long corridor over the lake and came to the lakeside.

When he saw Xue Ren-Yang, he bowed politely. "Old Master Xue, this way please."

"Sure!" Xue Ren-Yang nodded.

Then Ye Fan and Xue Ren-Yang walked down the long corridor towards that pavilion in the middle of the lake.
