Boom!
Upon hearing this news, Ye Fan’s head suddenly buzzed and exploded!
The Ye Family’s ten great heroes, all dead in battle!
This was the official statement, but anyone with clear eyes knew that so many generals falling on the same day, all from the Ye Family.
It was obviously a planned conspiracy!
Since awakening at the funeral, Ye Fan had been quietly using his own power to investigate the truth, starting from the three major families in Cloud City to later the Liu Ran Family in Provincial City, the Qin Family, Elder Tang Zheng, Zhang Heng…
Ye Fan was getting closer and closer to the truth!
Ye Fan had suspected that there was someone else behind Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng, but he never expected the truth to present itself to him in this way!
Was it Prince Jin of the royal family who led the attack on the Ye Family?
The Prince Jin with the greatest power in the world?
“Princess Consort, one can eat indiscriminately, but words must not be spoken carelessly!” Ye Fan stared intently at Chu Lanwei, “Princess Consort claims that Prince Jin is the mastermind behind the annihilation of the Ye Family. Do you have any substantial evidence?”
Ye Fan watched Chu Lanwei, wanting to see every expression on her face clearly.
Ye Fan wanted to confirm whether Chu Lanwei was accusing Prince Jin of the Ye Family’s destruction just to get his help with her revenge.
Prince Jin, as the most powerful prince on the royal family’s side, was not so easy to deal with.
Chu Lanwei’s face showed little change, her expression grave as she said, “Young Master Ye can rest assured. Since this Princess Consort dares to make such a statement, naturally, there is a basis for it! Before Zhao Cheng was attacked, he had already discovered some key evidence… It’s just that now, these pieces of evidence are in the hands of one of his former subordinates…”

The implication of Chu Lanwei’s unfinished words was clear!
Ye Fan could certainly get these pieces of evidence, but only if he agreed to help Chu Lanwei with her revenge and take over Zhao Cheng’s old faction!
“I agree!” Ye Fan didn’t hesitate at all and immediately accepted.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Besides, whether or not Prince Jin was the Ye Family’s mortal enemy, when Ye Fan got deeper into digging out the real culprits, there was bound to be a conflict with the royal family. If Prince Jin represented the royal family, then a battle between the two was inevitable.
“Little lady, thank you, Young Master Ye! From now on, I shall be a mere tea-serving maid by Young Master Ye’s side, at your beck and call!” Chu Lanwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowing sincerely to Ye Fan.
“However, Young Master Ye, I feel there are some situations that I should explain to you! Prince Jin is the most powerful prince in Great Xia, and besides those officials in public, he is supported by many big names. The strongest under Prince Jin are the Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang’s four battle squads, each led by a Martial Emperor…”
“Usually, the four battle squads Tian Di Xuan Huang remain hidden throughout Great Xia in various professions, but whenever Prince Jin needs them, they might pop up right next to you!”
“Additionally, Prince Jin has the strongest intelligence network, which is almost pervasive throughout Great Xia! Of course, now the intelligence network in Cloud City has been completely destroyed by Young Master Ye, and the one in Flower Capital… should also be close to destruction… But in any other place where people are active, Prince Jin might have infiltrated…”
“One last point, the network of relationships of Prince Jin, apart from the Martial World, includes the Ancient Martial Families, the Four Great Holy Lands, and even some other reclusive families, with whom he has very strong connections!”
“It’s no exaggeration to say, looking at all of Great Xia, aside from the Ye Family, this Princess Consort can hardly find any family that can compete with him! And now, the Ye Family has suffered such a heavy blow… Although Young Master Ye has awakened, you must not take this lightly…”
Chu Lanwei’s words were a reminder to Ye Fan, but they also revealed her own concerns.
Chu Lanwei did not know whether her choice was right or wrong!
After all, by appearing so publicly with Ye Fan and starting a live broadcast, I have already declared war, albeit in a veiled manner!
So it is, I no longer have any way out!
Ye Fan naturally understood Chu Lanwei’s meaning, “Heh! The Princess Consort is underestimating the Ye Family… Although the Ye Family has suffered heavy losses, we are still the foremost family in Great Xia and we have some hidden strengths that the Princess Consort might not know about! I won’t mention the Tianlong Army, but you must be aware of the recent appointment of the Deputy Commander in the Xuanwu Region, right? Let me reveal a bit more… the Nether Group throughout Southwest, with assets of over a trillion and coveted by countless big shots, is actually backed by me…”
Since they were cooperating, Ye Fan decided to reveal a bit of his strength to Chu Lanwei.
The Nether Group holds supreme power over the entire Southwest, deterring the whole country. With assets worth trillions, many have tried to make a move against the Nether Group only to fail, for it is rumored that behind the Nether Group lies that mysterious organization!
“Ah? The Nether Group… it really is you… Behind the Nether Group…” The Princess Consort’s eyes, as big as those of the Carzlan brand, widened in shock.
When the Su Yixue family was being suppressed, the Nether Group had already started to offer support.
When Chu Lanwei investigated this matter, she thought it was simply due to the relationship between Ye Fan and the big shots of the Nether Group. She didn’t expect that Ye Fan was actually the boss behind the Nether Group, which meant that he must have a significant connection with the mysterious organization behind the Nether Group.
If not the true master, at least he was certainly one of the top echelons!
If Ye Fan had such a deep relationship with the Tianji Pavilion, then his chances of dealing with Prince Jin would rise by several notches.
“Shh! It’s best if only the Princess Consort knows this… and you should also be aware of the support from Wandering Soul…” In actuality, Ye Fan had another powerful source of support that he had yet to reveal.
That was the Divine Gate backed by his mother!
However, Ye Fan had not yet made contact with the high-level of the Divine Gate, and he did not wish to completely expose himself.
“Yes! I believe in Young Master Ye, you can definitely do it!” All traces of Chu Lanwei’s deep suspicion vanished, and in its place arose an alluring look, “Young Master Ye… I could be yours now, come…”
While speaking, Chu Lanwei hooked her hand around Ye Fan’s neck, embraced him, and fell back onto the huge stone bed!
Heaven as quilt!
Earth as bed!
The Number One Bed in the World finally shed all its pretense, ready to surrender itself to Ye Fan.
Gazing upon the exquisitely voluptuous beauty before him, Ye Fan couldn’t say he wasn’t tempted — that would be a lie!
But at that moment, the thought of the Ye Family’s annihilation at the hands of Prince Jin caused Ye Fan’s blood to boil with rage!
The ten core disciples of the Ye Family fell at the hands of Prince Jin, and according to Chu Lanwei, Ye Fan still lacked the strength to deal with Prince Jin with the forces currently at his command!
He must become stronger and consolidate even more powerful forces to absolutely crush Prince Jin!
As for the beauty in his arms, Ye Fan’s mind was not on her anymore!
“Princess Consort, let’s leave it at this! It’s not too late for you to thank me after Prince Jin’s matter is settled,” Ye Fan let go of Chu Lanwei and looked at her earnestly, his eyes filled with determination!
Huh?
Ye Fan actually refused me at such a moment?
Chu Lanwei suddenly began to doubt her own allure. Was she really that undesirable, despite being the Number One Bed in the World?
“Young Master Ye, are you truly giving up such a great opportunity? I have yet another huge secret that I haven’t told you… Sleeping with this Princess Consort can extend one’s life… I’m not joking…”
