Chapter 333: Chapter 296: A Visit from a VIP, Revisiting the Past

"Amazing."

Seeing the Black Iron Fist set had successfully recognized its master, Ye Fan didn’t delay. He quickly put it on his hands and found that the fist set had almost no weight, just a thin layer, as if it were his own skin.

"Indeed amazing."

Chu Ji, who was beside him, couldn’t help but speak up in praise, "The artifact refining master from the European Union used the Gold Element Array to perfectly blend the softness of the Black Iron with the Thousand Gold Vine. It seems soft, but as soon as power is injected, the joints become as hard as iron and sharp as a knife, fully capable of clashing with swords."

"If I had used the Black Iron Fist set in my duel with Murong Sheng that day, I could have blasted him to death with just my martial arts!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan’s consciousness stirred. He channeled his power into the Black Iron Fist set and indeed noticed that the five black light spots at the joints were dazzling and emitted a cold, intimidating light, causing palpitations. He then said with a smile,

"Let’s go, let’s go back and try out its power!"

Chu Ji smiled and then started the car, driving Ye Fan back to the Courtyard.

One hour later.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Presidential Edition arrived at the entrance of the Courtyard. Ye Fan and Chu Ji got out of the car, moving the boxes of medicinal herbs from the trunk into the Courtyard.

After completing these tasks, Ye Fan walked over to a large rock in the courtyard, took out the Black Iron Fist set again, and put it on his hands.

Seeing this scene, a flicker of anticipation shone in Chu Ji’s eyes.

"Hoo~"

Ye Fan took a deep breath and then... with a stir of his consciousness, streams of power erupted almost simultaneously from forty-four vital acupoints, converging together and rushing to his right fist.

"Hoo!"

As the power surged, the iron fist swung!

In the sunlight.

Ye Fan’s right fist turned into a phantom as he ferociously struck the large rock. The five black light spots at the joints burst with blinding brightness, and the terrifying force poured out crazily, all of it slamming into the rock.

"Bang—"

"Crack—"

After the muffled sound, there was a crisp noise, and the man-high rock couldn’t withstand the immense force, and five cracks appeared directly on it.

"So fast, so strong!"

Looking at the deep cracks, Ye Fan was thrilled. The punch he had just thrown did not use any martial arts, and its speed and power had doubled compared to his fullest punch in the past!

"High-level magical artifacts are indeed well-deserved of their reputation."

Chu Ji said wryly, "With your current strength, if you wear the Black Iron Fist set and use the ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ First Level, you would deliver an 18-fold power of a full-strength strike, nearly equal to the power strength of a Peak stage of Innate Martial Artist. And considering your unique physique, your power is stronger than a typical martial artist. In such a case, with the Black Iron Fist set, you can match an average Peak stage of Innate Martial Artist solely with martial arts!"

"Mhm."

Ye Fan nodded with a smile, yet he understood that he wasn’t just on par with an average Peak stage of Innate Martial Artist, but he could completely defeat one!

Typically, the power of an Innate Great Success Martial Artist is ten times that of an Early Innate Martial Artist, the Peak stage of Innate is ten times that of Innate Great Success, and Innate Great Perfection is ten times that of the Peak stage of Innate!

Of course, there are some martial artists with strong bodies whose quality of power is higher than their peers, making their force relatively stronger.

For example, Ye Fan, although he is just an Early Innate Martial Artist, his quality of power is nearly equivalent to an Innate Great Success Martial Artist.

As a result, when he wears the Black Iron Fist set and uses the killing move ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’, it is equivalent to a punch with 18 times the strength of an Innate Great Success Martial Artist, far surpassing an average Peak stage of Innate Martial Artist. Naturally, defeating an average Peak stage of Innate Martial Artist would be no difficulty!

And... that is merely Ye Fan’s martial artist strength.

If one considers Ye Fan’s magic cultivation, when facing an enemy, using illusion techniques, spiritual attacks, and even controlling magical artifacts in combination with close-quarters combat, it’s not an overstatement to call him invincible below Innate Great Perfection. He could even vie with an Innate Great Perfection cultivator!

Hm?

Later, as Ye Fan was in silence, Chu Ji suddenly sensed a car approaching the Courtyard, with the aura of an Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artist coming from it!

"An Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artist?"

Compared to Chu Ji, Ye Fan, with his magic cultivation already at the Innate Realm, had much stronger sensing power and naturally also detected the aura of the Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artist.

Seconds later, under the watch of Ye Fan and Chu Ji, the car with a special license plate stopped at the entrance of the Courtyard, and a man in a black suit quickly hopped out. He swiftly opened the rear door of the car, stepped back, and bowed slightly, waiting respectfully for the person inside to alight.

"Having an Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artist as a bodyguard and driver, the visitor must be of no ordinary status," Ye Fan murmured in surprise as he peered through the crack of the Courtyard’s main gate at this scene.

As martial arts began to flourish again, martial artists’ status in society has become increasingly significant. Although Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artists may not have certain privileges like Gang Qi Realm Martial Artists, they are absolute experts nonetheless.

The fact that such a person would act as a bodyguard and reverently welcome the person getting out of the car was proof of the extraordinary identity of that person!

"It’s not just extraordinary, but a mighty figure who could shake Huaxia with a single stomp," said Chu Ji. Despite her words, the smirk on her face and the glint in her eyes suggested she was pondering something else.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing that, Ye Fan was intrigued. He had a hunch about the identity of the visitor but was not certain; he merely stared intently at the entrance.

The next moment.

Under the gaze of Ye Fan and Chu Ji, an old man dressed in a black jacket stepped out of the Hongqi H8 sedan with the special plates.

Ye Zhen?!

Ye Fan’s pupils suddenly dilated.

As the illegitimate son of Ye Wenhao, although he never returned to the Ye Family Mansion and had never met Ye Zhen, he had seen Ye Zhen’s figure on TV and the Internet.

As if sensing the gaze of Ye Fan and Chu Ji, Ye Zhen smiled at them as a gesture, then turned his head and whispered to his bodyguard, "Wait for me at the door."

"Yes, Commander!"

Like the Bai Family, the Ye Family had also gathered a group of martial arts experts, but they had all been placed within the Yanhuang Organization. One of these experts was Ye Zhen’s bodyguard, who bowed and received the order as soon as he heard Ye Zhen’s words.

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Ye Zhen who was smiling and heading toward the courtyard, his mind completely occupied with a question: What is he here for?

"May I come in?"

As if in response to Ye Fan’s question, Ye Zhen smiled and glanced at Chu Ji before letting his gaze fall on Ye Fan.

Although he knew that the courtyard was under Chu Ji’s control and that she was the undisputed owner, he also knew that it didn’t matter what Chu Ji said, it all depended on Ye Fan’s nod of approval.

Just as Ye Zhen had anticipated, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ji turned her gaze toward Ye Fan, leaving the decision to him.

"Fine."

Ye Fan pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, yet he was secretly pondering the purpose of Ye Zhen’s sudden visit.

Perhaps having expected Ye Fan’s agreement, Ye Zhen was not surprised. He maintained his smile and confidently stepped into the courtyard, approaching Ye Fan and Chu Ji.

As one of the helmsmen of Huaxia, although Ye Zhen dealt with countless matters every day, he appeared in good health, with a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and an indomitable smile that couldn’t hide the breath of a superior emitting from him, creating an unfathomable pressure.

Both Ye Fan and Chu Ji were martial arts experts with willpower far beyond ordinary people. Remaining calm and collected, they faced the unconscious authoritative presence exuded by Ye Zhen.

"Sorry, Xiao Fan, for coming unannounced. I hope you don’t mind."

Soon, under the watchful eyes of Ye Fan and Chu Ji, Ye Zhen arrived in front of them and stopped. He looked at Ye Fan with a warm smile, his words lacking the authority of the Ye Family Patriarch, instead, he presented a very humble posture.

Hmm?

Ye Fan heard Ye Zhen’s words and looked at his approachable smile. Chu Ji’s gaze flickered, and she couldn’t help thinking: One doesn’t visit a temple without a cause!

"Old Ye is busy with countless affairs, with your time more precious than gold. Why would you come looking for an ordinary citizen like me?" Ye Fan responded indifferently, his words carrying traces of sarcasm.

Although he had reconciled with Ye Wenhao and internally recognized Ye Wenhao as his father, it didn’t mean he acknowledged the Ye Family or Ye Zhen!

If that weren’t the case, when Ye Wenhao had initially invited him on behalf of Old Master Ye to return to the Ye Family, Ye Fan had indifferently responded with a phrase: My home is in Spirit Mountain.

"Xiao Fan, I think there might be some misunderstandings between us."

Facing Ye Fan’s hostility, Ye Zhen didn’t care, and his smile remained unchanged. He then continued without waiting for a reply from Ye Fan, "Shall we go inside and talk?"

"Indeed, we have been impolite. Please, after you!"

Although deep down he didn’t have a good impression of Ye Zhen or the entire Ye Family, when Ye Fan heard Ye Zhen’s suggestion, he still made a welcoming gesture and then led the way to the main house of the courtyard.

Upon entering the main house, Ye Zhen saw Chu Ji follow them in, and his brows furrowed slightly as he hesitated to speak.

Ye Fan saw this and said, "She is my auntie. Speak whatever you want to say."

"I came to find you today for two reasons."

Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment, then went straight to the point, "First of all, I am here to apologize on behalf of the Ye Family. One is for what happened to your mother in the past, and the other is for the incident when Xiao Yan went to find you in Donghai."

"Your high status and distinguished position, your apologies, I can hardly afford to accept."

Ye Fan sneered. Although he had not witnessed how his mother was treated when she went to the Ye Family twenty years ago, he could infer from Qin Yan’s high and cold demeanor she displayed in front of him.

"Sigh..."

Unable to help himself, Ye Zhen sighed, "Xiao Fan, you should know that your father has always lived in guilt over that incident from the past. And because of Xiao Yan’s private trip to Donghai, your father uncharacteristically punished Xiao Yan..."

"State your second purpose." Ye Fan interrupted Ye Zhen without any courtesy.

"Xiao Fan, you are Wenhao’s child. He is willing to go through fire and water for you, even willing to give up everything!"

At this point, Ye Zhen sighed softly, but his gaze was fixed on Ye Fan, "Likewise, you are also a descendant of our old Ye Family. Over the past twenty years, we have owed you far too much, but from now on, as long as you wish, the doors of the Ye Family will always be open to you, and we will do everything in our power to make up for the past—I came to see you today because I want to take you back to the old Ye Family!"

"I’ve said before, my home is in Spirit Mountain," Ye Fan said indifferently.

"Xiao Fan..." Ye Zhen was unwilling to give up and tried to say more.

However—

Before Ye Zhen could finish his words, Chu Ji asked with a cold laugh, "I’m very curious, how does the Ye Family intend to make amends?"

Hmm?

Maybe not expecting Chu Ji to interrupt, Ye Zhen was slightly taken aback and then asserted, "As long as Xiao Fan is willing to return to the Ye Family, whichever path he chooses, he will receive the full support of the Ye Family!"
