Chapter 258 - 229 [Who is the Clown?]

Chapter 258: Chapter 229 [Who is the Clown?]

In Ye Fan’s memory, Su Liuli had always treated him like a sworn enemy from a past life, taking every opportunity to take a jab at him. Yet, now, not only had she refrained from blaming him for arriving late, she was also cradling the gift he had given her like a prized treasure, her face filled with excitement...

Could she have known what the gift he was going to give was?

Su Liuli’s abnormal behavior stunned Ye Fan for a moment before a strange thought surfaced in his heart; he then dismissed it as impossible—he hadn’t told anyone about the gift for Su Liuli, so there was no way she could have guessed what was inside the box!

What’s gotten into Sister Liuli?

It wasn’t just Ye Fan who found the situation strange. Su Jindi and Situ Ruoshui, familiar with Su Liuli’s style, were also taken aback. Based on their understanding of Su Liuli, even if she felt too embarrassed to publicly reprimand Ye Fan for his tardiness, she wouldn’t typically grant Ye Fan any grace.

Could this guy be Su Liuli’s boyfriend?

But had anyone heard that Su Liuli had a boyfriend?

Just as Ye Fan and the others felt bewildered, Ouyang Lingfeng, who had lost face before due to being rejected by Su Liuli when he tried to give her a gift, slightly changed his expression.

Known as a scion of finance, not only was he unmatched in the stock market, but he was also an absolute expert in flirting. He knew exactly what Su Liuli’s excited demeanor implied!

Realizing this, Ouyang Lingfeng’s expression turned extremely ugly.

In pursuit of Su Liuli, he had taken the opportunity of her birthday to spend over forty million on an Aston Martin, hoping to win her affection with his generosity. Yet she had publicly rejected him, and now here was a guy who claimed to have helped an old lady after a fall, who had come by taxi, casually taking out a worn-out box that seemed to send Su Liuli into a flurry of excitement—this was more frustrating than finding out his date was a man after getting intimate!

"Liuli student, what treasure did he give you to make you so excited?"

A buddy of Ouyang Lingfeng, noticing the change in his expression, guessed what was on his mind and asked with a smirk.

"What treasure could there be in that packaging?" sneered another young master.

"Didn’t you hear him say he helped an old lady who fell down? Anyone who dares to help the old these days is a super tycoon, maybe it’s some rare treasure!" another young master mocked.

Hearing the sneering and jeering of the young masters, Ouyang Lingfeng felt slightly better and, like his companions, looked at Ye Fan with a gaze reserved for watching a clown perform, waiting to see Ye Fan’s embarrassment.

Meanwhile, the other students were also somewhat curious about what exactly Ye Fan had given Su Liuli that had elicited such an emotional response.

However, Su Jindi, hearing the disrespectful remarks from the young masters about Ye Fan, was about to lose his temper, but before he could, Su Liuli, as if waking from a dream, suddenly blushed and said in a fluster, "Who... who’s excited?"

"Liuli student, if you weren’t excited, then why were you clutching the box so tightly just now?" the young master allied with Ouyang Lingfeng asked again.

"I... I was considering whether to smash the gift in this guy’s face."

Having recovered from her initial panic, Su Liuli tried to cover up the anomaly by not only returning to her usual demeanor but also deliberately showing a pissed-off expression, saying, "So many people were on time, yet he was the only one late!"

"Liuli, he was late because he kindly helped an old lady who had fallen; that’s a good deed, you shouldn’t do that."

Although Su Liuli quickly returned to normal, Ouyang Lingfeng still felt there was something fishy between her and Ye Fan, and he mused, "Besides, everyone is curious about the gift he gave you; why not satisfy everyone’s curiosity?"

"Yeah, open it and let us take a look."

The young master allied with Ouyang Lingfeng urged provocatively, knowing from his understanding of Ouyang Lingfeng that even though he appeared to be speaking in defense of Ye Fan, he was actually pressuring Su Liuli to open the box to make Ye Fan embarrass himself in public.

As soon as Ouyang Lingfeng and his companions spoke, they completely piqued everyone’s curiosity, and most people started echoing and instigating.

Facing all this, Su Liuli felt somewhat distressed; on one hand, she wanted to check the gift that Ye Fan had given her alone when no one was around, and on the other, she feared that opening Ye Fan’s gift privately might upset him.

"Open it, and if you don’t like it, just toss it away, but don’t smash it in my face." Seeing Su Liuli return to normal and everyone goading her, Ye Fan couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"Should I really open it?"

Su Liuli was also full of curiosity about the gift Ye Fan had given her; seeing that Ye Fan wasn’t minding her opening it, she asked once more for confirmation.

Ye Fan smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Su Liuli no longer hesitated and now asked her bodyguard to hold the ancient box, ready to open it publicly.

Seeing Su Liuli’s action, the hall fell silent again, everyone motionlessly staring at the box.

The next moment.

Under everyone’s gaze, Su Liuli slowly opened the ancient wooden box.

Hmm?

As the wooden box was opened, everyone immediately saw a white bottle, a black pill, and four talismans drawn with strange patterns inside it.

Seeing the contents of the box, Su Liuli’s heart was instantly filled with emotion.

Though she had not cultivated in martial arts and magic, she could tell that the items in the box were definitely related to martial arts and magic. Given what Situ Ruoshui had said, that Ye Fan, despite being severely drained from helping Pan Jueming and Su Jindi enhance their strength, power, and mind power, had been cultivating day and night to recover...

In such circumstances, Ye Fan had still taken the time and effort to craft these items for her, clearly showing how much he valued her birthday!

And before the party started, because Ye Fan was late and with a reminder from Situ Ruoshui, she somewhat believed that Ye Fan might not show up...

This stark contrast for her felt like moving from hell back to heaven, bringing her an unimaginable shock!

Just as Su Liuli was moved, the ordinary students were taken aback. Being regular people, they subconsciously thought the box contained medicine, and in their memory, giving medicine for a birthday was a first!

"Liuli, he’s not a scam artist, is he?"

While everyone was still in shock, the young master with good relations with Ouyang Lingfeng laughed and said, "He gave you medicine and talismans, is he trying to ward off evil for you?"

"Liuli, in recent years, scam artists are everywhere, often deceiving people out of their money and taking advantage of them. Don’t be fooled by him!"

Reminded by his companions, Ouyang Lingfeng also felt that Ye Fan was a scam artist. Recalling Su Liuli’s excited reaction when she received the gift, he concluded she had been deceived by Ye Fan and hurriedly warned her.

As his words fell, Ouyang Lingfeng stepped forward, eyeing Ye Fan with a hostile look and warned, "You better not let me find out you’re using tricks to deceive Liuli, otherwise I won’t let you off!"

"Idiot, are you fucking stupid?"

Seeing Ouyang Lingfeng treating Ye Fan as a scam artist and arrogantly warning him, Su Jindi, who had been holding back until now, became furious. In his heart, Ye Fan was his great benefactor, almost godlike, and he wouldn’t allow Ouyang Lingfeng to offend him.

"You..."

Ouyang Lingfeng, upon hearing this, changed color in anger. He wanted to erupt, but considering his image in front of so many people, and since Su Jindi was Su Liuli’s cousin, he didn’t want to upset her, so he forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Scam artist, I’ll scam your face!"

Thinking of what Ouyang Lingfeng had said, Su Jindi’s anger skyrocketed, and he burst out cursing, "You think you’re so great because you gifted an Aston Martin ONE-77? Do you believe that black pill could trade for ten Aston Martin ONE-77s?"

"Er..."

Hearing Su Jindi’s furious rebuke, everyone at the party, including Ouyang Lingfeng, was shocked!

Indeed...

They felt as if they had heard the most incredible thing in the world, staring at the unremarkable black pill with disbelief as if asking: It... it could trade for ten Aston Martin ONE-77s worth over forty million?!

"How is that possible?"

One young master muttered to himself, unable to believe Su Jindi’s words.

"That pill is what every Martial Artist dreams of..."

Although Su Jindi didn’t know what was in the white bottle, he recognized the black pill as the ’Body Refining Pill’ Ye Fan had previously given him, capable of Washing Marrow and Removing Hair, a priceless treasure. Seeing the young master’s disbelief, he began to explain its value.

However—

Before Su Jindi could finish speaking, Ye Fan interrupted, "Jin Emperor."

"Brother Ye is a generous man and won’t stoop to your level, but if I hear even half a disrespectful word about Brother Ye again, don’t blame me for not being nice!"

Seeing that Ye Fan halted him, Su Jindi also felt that explaining the ’Body Refining Pill’s amazingness to people like Ouyang Lingfeng was completely like playing music to a cow. So, he simply warned coldly.

Brother Ye?

Shocked by the reference, Ouyang Lingfeng’s mind raced as he looked at Ye Fan in astonishment and blurted out, "You... you’re Ye Fan?"

"Yeah." Ye Fan nodded slightly, looking at Ouyang Lingfeng oddly, "And you are?"

Whoosh!

No answer.

Ouyang Lingfeng’s face suddenly turned pale, his body stiffening on the spot!

Initially, he wanted to ingratiate himself with Su Jindi to introduce him to the legendary Ye Fan, but he not only mistook Ye Fan for a scam artist but also warned him with hostility...

At this point, Ouyang Lingfeng felt dizzy, his calves cramping as if about to go limp, almost collapsing to the ground!

Could it be... could it be that he is the legendary new godfather of Dong hai Underground World, that young master from the Ye Family?

Noticing Ouyang Lingfeng’s abnormal reaction, his peers stared wide-eyed at Ye Fan, questioning themselves.

Yes!

A definite answer emerged in their minds almost simultaneously!

Even though they couldn’t believe that the legendary Dong hai Godfather, the Ye Family’s young master, would arrive by taxi at the party, their reason told them, if this wasn’t the same Ye Fan, Ouyang Lingfeng wouldn’t be so terrified!

Done for!

Thinking about how they had treated Ye Fan as a clown and spoken rudely, the young masters’ knees went weak, they collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely.
