“Oh, is that so? You’ve come to know the secret of the map fragment, have you?”
Ye Fan stared at the grey-robed elder, a cold smile playing on his lips, as an idea, akin to throwing a scare into the monkeys by striking a chicken, suddenly popped into his head!
The corners of the grey-robed elder’s mouth twitched, as he thought to himself, so what about the Ye Family’s little secrets? Did they really think no one knew?
Everyone was acting so crazily against the Ye Family, and for what? Wasn’t it all for that map fragment held by the Ye Family, to enter the Divine Ruins, and to gain access to the Immortal Palace?
But aloud he still explained, “Young Master Ye, those map fragments are of great significance. Your family can’t keep them safe. Hand them over to me, and let’s turn them over to the royal family—that’s the best choice! Only in this way can your Ye Family be protected and ensured peace for the future!”
No matter what, he had to get the fragment from Ye Fan’s hands first.
As for who he’d actually give the object to once he got it, that remained to be seen!
“Is the map fragment that important? But I don’t have it on me, it’s in a residence in the Flower Capital. Why don’t you come with me to fetch it?” Ye Fan smiled wickedly, having just received confirmed news that this Great Xia’s Eighth Elder was Han Mo, who had quietly left the Capital to conduct activities in the Flower Capital!
There was no instruction from the royal family regarding Han Mo’s movements.
Ye Fan had already figured out how to deal with Great Xia’s Eighth Elder Han Mo!
He’d do a live broadcast!
He planned to live stream beating up Han Mo, openly demonstrating a lesson for all to see!
But Han Mo was, after all, a master at the Martial Emperor level; if Ye Fan made a move in the Xia Family Courtyard, he would naturally be able to take him down within three moves, but if two Martial Emperor powerhouses were to clash, the Xia Family would likely be ravaged thoroughly.
So Ye Fan planned to lure Han Mo to the outskirts, find an open and deserted place, and then take action!
“Oh? Is that so? Well then, alright!”
Triumph flashed across Han Mo’s lips as he relaxed and quickly swelled with arrogance once again.
Hmph!
Wasn’t Ye Fan supposed to be very formidable?
Confronted with the pressure of the royal family, shouldn’t Ye Fan be a bit more restrained?
No matter how powerful the Ye Family was, they still had to listen to the royal family, didn’t they?
Han Mo hurried Ye Fan, intending to leave, but Ye Fan stood still. Instead, he turned his head toward the room and said, “Princess Consort, stop enjoying the show. Testify for me… Otherwise, if Elder Han Mo takes my stuff later and then kills me, to whom shall I appeal?”
Huh?
Ye Fan’s casual remark sent a jolt of alarm through Han Mo’s heart.
Could this guy read minds?
Indeed, Han Mo had just been planning to do exactly that—if he got the map from Ye Fan, he would not hesitate to kill him to avoid future troubles.
If Ye Fan were to die, with so many wanting him dead, surely even the royal family would secretly commend him for doing the right thing, right?
But now that Ye Fan had called on Princess Consort Chu Lanwei, it was inconvenient for Han Mo to act.
Although Princess Consort Chu Lanwei’s strength was no match for Han Mo, her identity was significant, and besides, Chu Lanwei was someone else had specifically asked him not to harm.
“…” Chu Lanwei, hearing Ye Fan’s words from inside the room, was at a loss for words.
“Princess Consort, will you go? If you do, it’s going to be troublesome!” Chu Lanwei’s maid analyzed the situation, “No matter what happens to either Elder Han Mo or Ye Fan, if you’re at the scene, Your Grace, it’ll be irritating for you.”
Chu Lanwei sighed helplessly, “That rascal Ye Fan is calling out to me, can I not go? This Ye Fan is definitely not easy to deal with… He must have realized that This Princess Consort needs his help, so he’s using this method to tie This Princess Consort to his side!”
A smile crept up the corner of Chu Lanwei’s mouth, the more Ye Fan was like this, the more this Princess Consort liked him.
…
Chu Lanwei followed Ye Fan and Han Mo, driving a car away from the Xia Family, heading towards the outskirts of Cloud City!
The farther the car went, the more desolate it became. Sitting in the back seat, Han Mo looked outside at the barren mountains below, and seeing that Ye Fan had no intention of stopping, he asked with some confusion, “Young Master Ye, where are you taking us? Does Young Master Ye live in such a remote place?”
Ye Fan glanced in the rearview mirror and flashed a mischievous smile, “Elder Han, you’re thinking too much… How could I possibly live here? I just want to pick a quiet place, to give you a good beating, that’s all…”
Huh?
“What? Ye Fan, what are you playing at? What do you mean by that!” After hearing Ye Fan’s words clearly, Han Mo felt a sudden tremor in his heart.
What?
Was Ye Fan looking for a place to beat himself up?
And he had Chu Lanwei come as a witness!
This guy was so arrogant?
Did he have the strength for it?
Han Mo’s mind raced with many thoughts in an instant, but seeing Ye Fan’s confident expression, he couldn’t help feeling a bit fearful—and an ominous feeling crept in.
Why did Han Mo feel like the Ye Fan in front of him might actually be able to give him a beating?
“Stop the car! I want to get out…” Han Mo started frantically pounding on the car door, “Princess Consort, you wouldn’t just sit by and watch Ye Fan act so recklessly, right?”
“Do you know what the crime is for assaulting a Great Xia Elder? How dare you!”
Chu Lanwei sat quietly in the passenger seat next to Ye Fan, her face calm.
While Chu Lanwei didn’t know the details of Ye Fan’s plan, she had an idea of what was going on.
From the moment Ye Fan led Han Mo away from the Xia Family Courtyard, Chu Lanwei knew Han Mo was in for a disadvantage!
“Why so agitated? It’s not like you haven’t been beaten before! Be calm, we’re almost there!” Ye Fan snorted coldly, hit the brakes, and stopped the car. They had already approached the mountain, and there was a perfect wasteland of several dozen acres right in front of them.
“Elder Han, look at this place, with mountains and water. If you are buried here, it would be a decent choice!” Ye Fan teased, staring at Han Mo, “I advise you not to resist too fiercely later, or I might get excited and hit you too hard, costing you your life!”
Ye Fan got out of the car, fixing Han Mo with an intense gaze.
By now, Han Mo also understood that Ye Fan had brought him here for a battle.
This battle was inevitable!
But Han Mo checked again, and Ye Fan’s Martial Arts Qi was completely within his control… Hmph! Let him be arrogant, let’s see how I will deal with you in a bit!
“Princess Consort, you’re just in time to witness! It was Ye Fan who blatantly attacked a Great Xia Elder, I’m entirely acting in self-defense… If Ye Fan encounters any danger to his life, you can’t blame me…”
Thinking he was sure to win, Han Mo continued to threaten Ye Fan, “Kid, hand over what you have on you now, and I can spare your life for a couple of days, out of respect for Old Master Ye. If you insist on seeking death, then don’t blame me!”

In fact, Han Mo had wanted to kill Ye Fan eight hundred times over in his heart for the slap Ye Fan had given him in front of so many people.
Even so, if it came to a fight, Han Mo wanted to stand on the moral high ground!
Ye Fan didn’t pay any attention to Han Mo but opened his smartphone video app, started a live broadcast, and handed it to Chu Lanwei, “Princess Consort, start the livestream, you can at least be a cameraperson, right? Of course, if you can add some exciting commentary, that would be even better…”
