Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Trash, Do You Only Dare to Hide Behind a Woman?
"Xuan Zhengguo, are you... are you even human? That's your own older brother lying in bed…" Xuan Yufei stared at Xuan Zhengguo with fiery anger in her eyes, utterly unable to believe that her seemingly kind uncle could commit such an act.
"Hmph! So what?" Xuan Zhengguo had completely torn off any pretense with Xuan Yufei at this point, "Frankly! If you had obediently married Young Master Li, I wouldn't have needed to go this far, but you insisted on causing such a fuss. Don't blame me! Why did the old man hand over the Xuan Corporation to your father at that time? Why should your main family be in control of the Xuan Corporation? Today, it's finally my turn!"
"You have 10 seconds to reconsider, to take back what you just said and marry Young Master Li obediently, or else…"
Xuan Zhengguo didn't finish his sentence, but the outcome was all too clear.
Despicable!
Using Xuan Yufei's father against her, it was clear Xuan Zhengguo had everything planned from the start.
Ye Fan watched Xuan Zhengguo coldly, then glanced at Xuan Yufei, his attitude towards her changing slightly.
So, everything was Xuan Zhengguo's doing?
"You… shameless…" Xuan Yufei, full of rage and stomping her feet on the ground, looked at Ye Fan with a trace of sorrow.
Xuan Yufei had thought that her defiance today would give her a chance to be with Ye Fan.
And just when it looked like she might succeed, this was the result.
"Brother Fan, I…"
Xuan Yufei was in a great internal struggle!
Deep down, she had never given up on Ye Fan. Even during the five years Ye Fan was senseless, Xuan Yufei would often keep him company. It showed just how important Ye Fan was to her!
Yet after giving birth to her, Xuan Yufei's mother left, and her father raised her all by himself. She couldn't possibly ignore her father's kindness.
The conflict between love and family, a timeless conundrum!
The standoff started again, and the guests in the hall, because they were too far away, could neither hear the conversation on the stage nor see what was happening.
All they saw were the bodyguards of the Li Family and Lord Hu's men facing off, unable to get any closer.
The crowd began whispering and discussing among themselves.
On the stage, Li Yunyang and Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xuan Yufei under Xuan Zhengguo's control.
Li Yunyang's pursuit of Xuan Yufei was not for love but to lock in the alliance through marriage, coveting the power behind her mother's family. Thus, no matter the means used, as long as he could have Xuan Yufei, that was enough.
"Hmph! Ye Fan, you fool, you trash, do you really harbor delusional hopes of being with Princess Yu? Dream on!" Li Yunyang swaggered over to Ye Fan, "Damn it, just for cursing at you and actually getting hit, I absolutely need to hit back."
Wang Fugui was skilled in martial arts, so Li Yunyang couldn't make a move.
But after Ye Fan became senseless, he lost all his martial arts abilities. And now that Xuan Yufei was under Xuan Zhengguo's control, this was Li Yunyang's chance to breathe out his spite.
"You dare!" Xuan Yufei sprang up in front of Ye Fan as she saw Li Yunyang make a move, "Li Yunyang, this is a matter between my Xuan Family and your Li Family. You have the gall to touch a hair on Ye Fan, just try it!"
Li Yunyang didn't take Xuan Yufei's threat seriously at all.
"Haha! Is it just a matter between the Xuan Family and the Li Family? Xuan Yufei, you're thinking too simply. Bringing this moron here today, you've already dragged the Ye Family back into this! Of course, even if he hadn't come today, he would be reuniting with his brothers soon enough!" Li Yunyang sneered, sidestepping Xuan Yufei and staring at Ye Fan, "Trash, can you only hide behind a woman?"
Li Yunyang was too caught up in his own tirade to notice Ye Fan's eyes darkening by the minute.
From Li Yunyang's incessant words, Ye Fan had already figured out that even if he didn't attack Li Yunyang today, the Li Family seemed to have plans to make a move against the Ye Family.
Were the Ye Family's opponents so impatient?
Not only had they killed the ten core disciples of the Ye Family, but they also wanted to completely exterminate the last elder and the idiot?
If that was the case, there was no need for courtesy!
"How dare you!" Xia Hao, Li Hu, and others saw Li Yunyang trying to make a move on Ye Fan, and they all rebuked him, wanting to rush over.
But Ye Fan secretly gestured to Xia Hao with his eyes!
This time, Ye Fan wanted to take action himself!
He wanted to kill Li Yunyang on the spot!
It was a deterrent to the Li Family, and also a warning for those behind the Li Family to restrain themselves a bit.
"Is Young Master Li taking me to my brother? Young Master Li is a good person, a really good person!" Xuan Yufei continued to block Li Yunyang for Ye Fan, but Ye Fan clapped his hands and charged out from behind Princess Yu.
"Brother Fan…" Princess Yu's face was bitter as she tried to reach out and pull Ye Fan back. How could Li Yunyang be so kind as to take you to your brother? He's trying to kill you!
"Hmph! Idiot, come here and stand properly!" Li Yunyang saw Ye Fan foolishly presenting himself and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After telling Ye Fan to stand properly, he swung his palm and fiercely slapped it towards Ye Fan's face.
"Bastard, how dare you!" Wang Fugui was the most enraged, his ankles flexing as he prepared to rush forward and fight.
"Young Master Wang, don't be hasty!" Xia Hao quickly reached out and held Wang Fugui back.
Wang Fugui, with his straightforward thinking, was getting angry seeing Xia Hao obstructing him time and time again. "What do you mean, Xia Hao? What 'don't be hasty'? I can see Brother is about to be hit; how can I not be hasty? Are you in cahoots with Li Yunyang?"
"…" Xia Hao was speechless and couldn't bother to explain. "Wait and see, Young Master Wang. You have to trust your Brother!"
Rolling his eyes, Xia Hao finally understood why Ye Fan didn't tell him, his most loyal brother, that he had awakened.
Looking at Wang Fugui's naive appearance, if he knew that Ye Fan had awakened, probably the whole country would know in no time.
Whoosh!
Li Yunyang's palm cut through the air, causing a whooshing sound.
Li Zhong's mouth twitched, feeling somewhat relieved; his gaze involuntarily shifted towards Wang Fugui, thinking that at least he could regain face through Ye Fan after his son was slapped by Wang Fugui.
But to Li Zhong's surprise, the expected crisp sound of a slap didn't occur.
The slap Li Yunyang had sent out was easily dodged by Ye Fan with a tilt of his head, and furthermore, Ye Fan had reached out and grabbed Li Yunyang's wrist, asking curiously, "Young Master Li, are you trying to swat a mosquito for me? There's no mosquito on my face, you know?"
As Ye Fan spoke, a silver needle shot rapidly towards Li Yunyang's wrist from his sleeve.
This thrust held nothing back. The silver needle, carrying a powerful Qi Force, struck Li Yunyang's meridians, his internal organs, and even utilized the power of Heritage Corruption.
Sigh!
Princess Yu, Li Hu, and other clueless onlookers couldn't help but sigh deeply in their hearts. Who was trying to swat a mosquito for you? He was trying to slap you!
"I... ah, fuck... what are you doing?" Li Yunyang was about to explain when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and an electric shock sensation that nearly made him collapse!
Ye Fan quickly released Li Yunyang's wrist, with an innocent look on his face, "I... I didn't do anything? Maybe a mosquito bit you?"
