“You… You sinner!”
“You have deceived your teacher and destroyed your ancestors!”
“How dare you make us kneel down?”
“The old family master will not let you go!”
Torrents of sound rolled out from the Chu Sect Mountain.
Ye Fan’s majestic voice echoed in all directions.
At this moment, the Chu family members, after being forced to kneel, only felt humiliation added to their anger.
Outside the Chu family’s gate, the people of the Chu Clan who heard the commotion were all converging towards this place.
Including the Tang family!
After guessing Ye Fan’s identity, the Tang family had sent a large number of powerful men to chase him.
As a result, a large number of strong people had already gathered outside the Chu family’s gate.
However, after these people learnt that this person in front of them was the supremely ruthless Chu Tianfan who had swept through the Chu Sect Mountain and suppressed the Chu Family’s head, Chu Zhengliang.
Surprisingly, none of them dared to come forward!
They just hid outside the door, watching the Chu family suffer from afar.
There was no way out.
Ye Fan was too strong.
Everyone didn’t want to die.
Even more so, they didn’t want to die for the sake of the Chu family.
Besides, this was a Chu family matter, and they, outsiders, were better off just watching.
Being surrounded by so many people, the Chu family naturally felt even more humiliated.
All along, the Chu family had always taken pride in being the first lord of the Chu Sect.
But now, they were being forced to kneel down.
Ever since the Chu Family was founded, they had never suffered this humiliation.
Therefore, in order to save some face, people like Chu Shen and the others only had to keep cursing and threatening Ye Fan.
To these people who were still tough-mouthed at the end of their lives, Ye Fan had only one way to respond, and that was a big!
Boom boom boom…
Ye Fan slapped one slap after another furiously.
Whoever screamed the loudest was beaten last.
By the end of the day, like some of Chu Shen’s people, half of their faces were smashed and the few remaining teeth were shattered all over the place.
As far as the eye could see, there was blood all over the place.
Soon, after some wild beatings, there was no more sound in the Chu family manor.
All of the Chu family’s members kept their heads down honestly, not daring to say a word.
Ye Fan looked at them, and based on the few memories that remained in his mind, he walked to a few people.
The first person Ye Fan went to was Chu Shen.
At this moment, Chu Shen had long been beaten and was lying on the ground, his bloodied face looking at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan sat down next to him.
“Second grandfather, why bother?”
“I actually didn’t want to do it.”
“After all, those who can fight are not here, so if I make a move against you ants, it would look like I’m bullying you.”
“But you guys are talking too hard.”
“When I watch you guys talk, it reminds me of when I was a kid.”
“Remember, that year I ran into your room and ate a piece of cake.”
“You found out and you had me beaten to a pulp.”
“Called me a cheap b*****d, wouldn’t let you into your house, and said you’d rather feed the cake to the dogs than give it to me.”
“In your eyes, I, Chu Tianfan, should just be worse than even a dog.”
“I just wonder, Second Grandpa, back then, did you ever think that one day, you would end up today?”
Ye Fan sat there, talking about the past as if he was chatting about family matters.
Chu Shen listened there, letting Ye Fan humiliate him, but his old face was red and he couldn’t say a word.
….
“And you.”
“I remember, I should call you aunt, right.”
“Back then, my mother and I lived in the Chu family, and you seemed to live not far from our room.”
“I remember that at that time, your family had a particularly large Tibetan mastiff.”
“You often let the dog bite us for fun.”
“Once again, Angie gave me a pig’s trotter and I ate it to get home.”
“You then let the dog loose and he chased and bit me.”
“When my mother saw it, she immediately ran over to merely shield me.”
“And the dog tore at my mum’s back, biting it to a bloody pulp.”
“To this day, there are still several scars on my mother’s back.”
“After so many years, I wonder if that dog at my aunt’s house is still around?”
Ye Fan smiled lightly.
He didn’t remember much from his childhood.
But there were some things, some people, that he remembered extraordinarily well.
Past how many people he would never forget.
“Holy sh*t!”
“What a most poisonous woman!”
“How dare you let a dog bite someone for fun?”
“b*****d!”
“At that time, the Dragon Lord was just a small child, still an orphan and a widow, and you had the guts to do it!”
Ye Fan spoke calmly, but when Gaia and the others heard it, they were so angry that they were shaking.
A dog like the Tibetan Mastiff was a virulent dog, bigger than even a wolf.
To let such a dog bite someone, how was that different from killing someone for fun?
In anger, Gaia and the others went up to the woman and gave her a kick.
They also threatened to put the vicious woman in a tiger cage so that she too could taste the bite of the beast.
“It’s just that, it’s all in the past.”
“I’m just talking to them about the past.”
“If I really wanted to be normal with them, what about these people just now, they would have all died.”
Ye Fan waved his hand, there were many things that he did not want to pursue anymore.
When a person stood at the top of the world, many of the things that were done by flies and dogs would not be seen or cared about anymore.
Just like this, amidst the kneeling of the Chu family, Ye Fan chatted and talked a lot with some old acquaintances.
And after that, he walked around inside the Chu family estate alone.
He looked at the place where he and his mother had once lived, and also paid his respects to the ancestors of Yunyang enshrined in the clan hall.
At first, Ye Fan had thought that the hut where he and his mother had lived might have ceased to exist.
However, to Ye Fan’s surprise, when he returned to the place where he had lived, the hut was still there.
There was no dust, no spiders, and even less weeds.
It was neat and clean, as if someone had been living there all along.
Curious, Ye Fan pushed it open and walked in.
The moment he saw the scene inside, Ye Fan froze.
The reason was that the displays and furnishings inside were all the same as they were back then.
Even the bed, the mattress, and even Ye Fan’s graffiti on the wall, the cross-stitch that his mother had made, Ye Fan’s notebook on the desk, and the test questions he had written, were all the same as back then.
In that moment, Ye Fan was in a trance.
It was as if he had travelled back in time to more than ten years ago.
Everything, familiar, as if he and his mother, had never left.
“How could this be?”
“Why is it that it hasn’t changed?”
“Even if no one had been here all this time, after these ten years, it must have been dusty and cobwebbed with spiders long ago, right?”
“Someone must have been cleaning it all along.”
“Could it be Elder Han?”
Ye Fan thought of Han Lao.
But then denied it when he thought about it.
Han Lao had always been hidden from the Chu family, being careful and discreet.
It was impossible for him to do such a thing, which could easily reveal his identity.
The others, on the other hand, had no reason to come and clean up.
Then, there was only one possibility left.
The one who had been maintaining this house in its original state, fixing and cleaning this small courtyard, was that man – Chu Zhenghong!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan’s body trembled.
Deep inside, it was as if something had cracked open and sour water flowed out.
His eyebrows, too, could not help but flush red.
Once, the resentment that was buried deep inside seemed to have faded away a lot at this moment.
It turned out that all these years, that man did not have them in his heart.
It was just that he had missed them in a different way.
Everyone’s way of expressing love is different.
Perhaps, this is the way that belongs to that man.
But for ten years, why had he not come to them?
Why did he not do anything when he and his mother were humiliated?
There were many doubts in his mind, but there were still no answers.
Ye Fan stayed in the small room and drank.
Only at sunset did he walk out of this place, which held countless memories of him and his mother, carry a jug of wine and ascend to the top of the Chu Mun Mountain.
At the top of the Chu Mun Mountain, the wind was sluggish and the temperature was cold.
Chu Zhengliang, who was sealed here by Ye Fan back then, was still lingering here.
But there were some things, some people, that he remembered extraordinarily well.
No matter how many people pa*sed he would never forget.
“I’m a mud horse!”
“What a most poisonous woman!”
“How dare you let a dog bite someone for fun?”
“b*****d!”
“At that time, the Dragon Lord was just a small child, still an orphan and a widow, and you had the guts to do it!”
Ye Fan spoke calmly, but when Gaia and the others heard it, they were so angry that they were shaking.

At the top of the Chu Mun Mountain, the wind was sluggish and the temperature was cold.
Chu Zhengliang, who was sealed here by Ye Fan back then, was still languishing here.
