Chapter 516: Chapter 458: Adding Fuel to the Fire, Simply Courting Death!_2

Not only him, but Chu Ji was also waiting anxiously for Yan and Chu Xuanji’s answers.

"Because I can’t examine Xiao Fan’s consciousness with my mind, I can’t assess the severity of his injuries," Yan replied first.

Whoosh!

Ye Wenhao and Chu Ji both turned their gazes toward Chu Xuanji.

Chu Xuanji remained silent, seemingly affirming Yan’s statement.

"However, you all don’t need to worry too much,"

Seeing this, Yan thought for a moment, then spoke again to reassure them, "Since Xiao Fan’s consciousness is guarded by a powerful mind, then, that mind should protect his consciousness."

Even though he said that, Yan was also uncertain at heart.

After all, he had only read about Heaven’s Punishment in the ancient books; he had never experienced it and was completely unsure about the true extent of its power.

If Yan, as an outsider observing objectively, had no confidence, what about Chu Xuanji, Ye Wenhao, and Chu Ji?

Among them, Chu Xuanji wore a grave expression, Chu Ji appeared worried and tense, while Ye Wenhao’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with self-blame as he guiltily looked at Ye Fan in Chu Xuanji’s arms and whispered, "Chu... Master Chu, let me hold Xiao Fan."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuanji silently handed Ye Fan over to Ye Wenhao.

Ye Wenhao’s hands trembled as he took Ye Fan and slowly embraced him in his arms.

This was the first time in his life that he held Xiao Fan in his arms.

But... instead of any trace of excitement or joy on his face, it was filled with worry and fear!

He feared Ye Fan’s injuries were very serious; he was even more afraid that Xiao Fan would forever sleep in a vegetative state due to shattered consciousness!

That fear and worry gripped his heart so tightly, he could barely breathe.

That fear and worry filled his heart with guilt and dread.

With shaking hands, he gently caressed Xiao Fan’s pale face and whispered, "Xiao Fan, although I said to you, as long as I can make it up to you, make you happy, I would be willing to give up everything I have. But in the end, I didn’t do anything for you, instead, it’s you who have been helping me over and over again!"

"Back then, for my sake, you went alone to the Southeast Asia Special Zone, risking your life to quell the chaos of the Underworld in Southeast Asia, and I didn’t stop you.

Today, for my sake, you took a huge risk to perform the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique, and I didn’t stop you either!

I can’t deny that for the sake of the Ye Family’s overall situation, I was a little selfish. At the same time, I took it for granted that you could definitely do it! I took it as a pride, proud to have you as my son! But what I overlooked is that everything you did was risky, risking your life!"

"I’m... I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I was too selfish! I should have stopped you!"

As he spoke, hot tears spilled out, sliding down Ye Wenhao’s cheeks and into his mouth, tasting embittered.

"Sigh..."

Seeing Ye Wenhao in tears, Yan and Chu Xuanji turned their heads away, letting out a quiet sigh, while Chu Ji, with eyes reddened, walked over, holding Ye Fan’s hand tightly. Her voice hoarse, she seemed to be consoling Ye Wenhao, yet it sounded more like she was consoling herself, "Xiao... Xiao Fan, nothing will happen to you!"

There was no answer, and Ye Wenhao closed his eyes, powerless.

This moment.

His face was laden with self-blame and guilt, but even more so with regret!

If... heaven were to give him another chance, he would definitely stop Ye Fan from performing the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique!

Even if he became the sinner of the Ye Family, he wouldn’t hesitate!

Because.

For him, if Ye Fan died or became a vegetable, reaching the pinnacle of Red Summit would be utterly meaningless!

...

As Ye Wenhao was consumed with self-blame, guilt, and regret, apart from Qin Yan and Ye Cang, other members of the Ye Family, led by Ye Zhen, flocked over. They showed no concern for Ye Fan’s welfare but instead gathered anxiously around Ye Yuanshan.

"I’ve always said he was deceiving us, but none of you believed me. Now look, his death is one thing, but he has also caused the death of the old man!"

Among the crowd, Ye Wenling saw Ye Yuanshan with his eyes closed tight, motionless, and complained loudly.

"You...what are you saying??"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ji glared furiously at Ye Wenling.

Ye Wenhao’s eyes also snapped open, a fierce anger flickering within them.

Even Yan and Master Chu frowned displeasedly at Ye Wenling.

"What? Am I wrong? If you’re capable, then wake my grandfather up??"

Ye Wenling was somewhat startled by Chu Ji’s murderous gaze but then remembered that with Ye Zhen and Yan present, Chu Ji would not dare to make a move, so she confronted her boldly.

Not dare to make a move??

"Swoosh!"

A sound of cutting air abruptly rose as Chu Ji flashed beside Ye Wenling. With a swift movement, she clutched Ye Wenling’s neck and lifted her into the air like a chick, her voice icy with killing intent.

"Xiao Fan, risking life and death, tried to prolong the life of an old Ye Family coot, and you, ungrateful thing, dare to utter such heartless words—are you seeking death??"

PS: There will only be one Chapter today, and I also want to talk about the update schedule for this book.

The updates for this book have been slower compared to my previous two books, and I owe an apology to all the brothers and sisters supporting Feng Kuang.

The slower updates, besides the month of the World Cup when I was indulgent and slack, are due to the fact that I’ve been trying for a child this year.

At the beginning of my wife’s pregnancy, she frequently had complications that required medical checkups every few days—it was a constant worry.

Ordinary people might have asked their parents to come over in such a situation, but Feng Kuang couldn’t. For one, both our parents haven’t retired and couldn’t come. Besides, I am someone who is very independent. Ever since university, through to getting a job and getting married, I’ve always tried to solve any problems myself first, without relying on my family as much as possible.

So, I didn’t ask our parents to come over, and I even deliberately concealed some serious issues from my wife.

You could say that back then, I was always on edge, but because of my perfectionist nature, I wanted to take care of everything well. In the end, my work suffered, my updates were unstable, and I did not spend enough time comforting and being with my wife.

It was only later, when my mother-in-law took some time off to come and help for over half a month, that I managed to adjust.

Starting last week, my work became very busy, and my wife entered the final stages of pregnancy with all sorts of issues cropping up one after another.

And I had to handle all of these issues alone, which takes up most of my energy.

In this situation, while trying to write, I’ve seriously lacked sleep every day, and I even became ill with a high fever for several days—this is also why there were fewer updates in the past couple of days.

After contemplating for the long-term writing and family considerations, I thought about it for two days and finally decided that for the following period, there will be one update per day, but I will ensure that the update timing stabilizes.

This decision was tough for me to make, and while I don’t ask for understanding, I do want to say sorry.
