Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2212

A long time had passed since Ye Fan attacked Chu Sect single-handedly.

From then onward, Chu Sect was eradicated.

Ye Fan could no longer remember how long Angie lay in deep slumber.

The tragedy that had befallen her was the biggest regret in his life.

He blamed himself all this while for dragging her into his war against the Chu family.

Angie would have been married to Chu Qitian if it wasn't for him.

For his sake, she had also run away from home and sailed overseas to see him.

If that wasn't enough, he had caused her family to be slaughtered and her father to suffer a miserable death in the middle of nowhere.

Consequently, the pitiful girl didn't even get to see her father for the very last time.

Ye Fan knew Angie since they were children.

However, if he had known about the disasters he would come to wreak upon her life, he rather didn't know her at all.

In the end, he could never repay the debt he owed her.

That was the reason why he gave up all the power he had and disbanded Dragon God Hall. Subsequently, he continued to train in seclusion in an attempt to break through god realm.

His sole goal was to help Angie extend her life, for that was the only form of penance he could do.

It was this deep-seated guilt that melted away Ye Fan's ferocity the moment he saw Angie.

All that was left on his youthful face was a gentle expression.

His battle-hardened conviction was finally softened by the tender sight.

As Ye Fan and Angie hugged each other, Ye Qingtian and the others above the ruins gave them a puzzled look.

“Who is this young girl?”

Ye Qingtian's eyelids began to twitch.

Even though he had heard about how much of a casanova Ye Fan was, Ye Qingtian never took those rumors seriously.

Having seen Qiu Mucheng before, he had no doubt of Ye Fan's feelings and loyalty to her.

When the Lu Clan of Jiangbei harmed Qiu Mucheng, Ye Fan destroyed them in a fit of rage.

In fact, the entire martial arts world of Jiangbei was wiped out by him.

In spite of that, the scene right before Ye Qingtian seemed to have put some substance into what he thought were baseless rumors.

“How can he lay hands on such a sweet young thing? She looks so innocent still. I'm sure she's not even twenty yet. Isn't he worried that he would end up ravaging her?”

Ye Qingtian's dirty mind began to drive his imagination wild.

As Angie's arrival eased the tension in the air, Ye Qingtian heaved a long sigh of relief as a smug expression descended upon his face.

“That b*stard! How dare he displays his affection in front of my master. Master, I must kill him for his insolence. Otherwise, the hatred within me will never be quelled!”

Chen Jiuzhou was outraged.

Fondling a woman in the middle of a battle was the ultimate disrespect for one's opponent.

Consequently, the proud Chen Jiuzhou felt that he had been humiliated, triggering his desire to have Ye Fan killed.

Sensing the impending danger, Ye Fan furrowed his brows as he tightened his grip on the Sword of Yunyang.

“Angie, wait here for me. I'll be back soon.”

Ye Fan gradually nudged her aside before getting Blackie to take her away.

He was preparing to eliminate Chen Jiuzhou and his companions first before reminiscing the past with Angie.

However, he was surprised when Angie ignored his instructions and threw herself back into his arms.

“Ye Fan, can you stop fighting already? Just live in peace, all right?”

With her body trembling, Angie spoke in a choking voice.

Amidst her words, Ye Fan could clearly feel a warm and moist sensation on his chest.

Without the need to look, he knew those were Angie's tears.

The tragedies of the past had left Angie traumatized to the extent that she couldn't bear the thought of battles or power struggles anymore.

All she wanted was for Ye Fan, her brother, her father, and all those she cared about to stay away from conflict so that they wouldn't come to harm.

“But Angie...”

When Ye Fan saw how she was curled up in his arms like a frightened kitten, the ruthless conviction in his heart began to waver, causing him to swallow his words.

He gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks as he nodded. “All right. I'll do as you say.”

After reassuring her, he turned around and swept a piercing gaze across the Supremes of War God Castle.

“Today, I'll let all of you leave on Angie's account. That said, I hope that you will remember the promise you made just now. War God Castle is forbidden from stepping foot in Jiangdong. Those who disobey will be met mercilessly with my seven-foot sword!”

Ye Fan's authoritative voice thundered through the air, sending tremors across Yunzhou.

In that instant, the denizens of the city could clearly hear his angry words.

“Of course, of course. We'll definitely not step into Jiangdong ever again.”

Ye Qingtian was clearly delighted to see Ye Fan relent.

Everyone, no matter how powerful, has a weakness. In Ye Fan's case, he clearly has a soft spot for young ladies.

Li Er, too, felt a heavy burden lifted from his shoulders.

D*mn it. Our tireless persuasion is no match for the cries of a young lady. Whatever it is, I'm glad this didn't end in a battle.

As for Mu Zihua, who never had any intention to get into a fight, she had nothing further to say now that Ye Fan had agreed to step aside.

Only Chen Jiuzhou didn't seem able to let the matter go as he glared at Ye Fan with his bloodshot eyes.

As the rage within him swelled, the cracking of his knuckles could clearly be heard.

Chen Jiuzhou was someone who could never accept defeat.

Hence, the sense of powerlessness in the face of Ye Fan's arrogance filled him with indignance.

All he felt was the urge to fight Ye Fan in a duel to the death.

By doing so, he would put an end to the raging debate of who was the stronger warrior—Chu Yunyang or Chen Jiuzhou.

Unfortunately, his master had the last word while they had also reached a crucial period in the Dragon Gate Project.

Thus, Chen Jiuzhou had no choice but to swallow his pride.

Nonetheless, Chen Jiuzhou shot Ye Fan an insidious glare just as he was leaving.

Despite not saying a word, his actions clearly conveyed his intention.

It was so obvious that even a fool could tell.

With that, the animosity between Ye Fan and Chen Jiuzhou started that very day.

Once Chen Jiuzhou and his companions were gone, Li Er quickly entered the scene and ordered his men to tie up loose ends.

“I have basically killed everyone from Journey Group. The Jiangdong rebels have also suffered the same fate. Anyway, I'll leave the rest to you.”

Once the situation had stabilized, Ye Fan called Li Er over to give the latter his final instructions.

“Don't worry, Mr. Chu. You can go in peace. I'll take care of everything here. As long as I'm still breathing, no one will touch your assets in Jiangdong,” Li Er declared respectfully.

However, Ye Fan shook his head in response. “Remember, all I, Chu Tianfan, care about is the people. It's fine if the businesses are lost, as I can always get them back. As for you lot, you must stay safe. Before I leave, I'll rebuild Yunzhou Formation with Sword of Yunyang as its foundation. It will protect all of you in the event War God Castle makes a comes back.”

With the withdrawal of the men from War God Castle, the upheaval in Jiangdong came to an end.

It was also time for Ye Fan to leave. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Despite his worries about Jiangdong, it was impossible for him to guard it forever.

The best he could do was leave Sword of Yunyang behind as protection.
