Chapter 618 - 549: Fulfilling the Wish

Chapter 618: Chapter 549: Fulfilling the Wish

In the quiet alley, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the car door slowly opened, and Chu Ji, clad in a red cloak, was the first to step out of the car.

Hm?

Seeing Chu Ji alight from the car, including Ye Zhen, the expressions of all the Ye Family members subtly changed.

Firstly, they hadn’t expected Chu Ji to actually come to the Ye Family Mansion; moreover, they faintly sensed that Chu Ji most likely didn’t come with good intentions today.

As if to confirm their speculation, Chu Ji, with her head held high, said with a mocking laugh, "Wow, so many people waiting for Xiao Fan’s grand arrival. It’s as if the sun has risen from the west."

Whoosh!

Upon hearing Chu Ji’s deliberately provocative words, the expressions of other Ye Family members, aside from Ye Zhen, changed once again.

Among them, Ye Wenling, who was known as the Princess of Ye Family, said discontentedly, "Chu Ji, what are you doing here?"

"I’m here to enjoy the sight of your faces."

Chu Ji sneered, "Back in the day, you pompously cast my sister out of here, and now you’re inviting her son back like he’s an honored guest to save your Ye Family. Quite the delightful contrast, isn’t it?"

"Hiss~"

Facing Chu Ji’s sarcasm and mockery, Ye Wenling and the others felt extremely uncomfortable but didn’t know how to retort.

Because, as of today, Ye Fan had become the savior of the Ye Family, essentially their savior too—if Ye Fan couldn’t successfully extend Ye Yuanshan’s life, the struggle between the Ye Family and the Bai Family would most likely end in failure, and their days thereafter would be far from easy.

After all, throughout history, the fight for the throne has always been bloody, with the defeated party suffering a woeful fate.

"Forget it, Auntie."

Just when Ye Zhen and the others were at a loss for words, Ye Fan stepped out from the car, stopping Chu Ji from further mocking and ridiculing the Ye Family members.

"You little brat, don’t tell me you actually believe they sincerely consider you as a member of the Ye Family? Let me tell you, if it weren’t for you extending the old Ye man’s life time and again, they probably wouldn’t even spare you a glance," Chu Ji said annoyedly.

"I’ve never cared about their opinions. You know why I’m doing this."

Ye Fan sighed. From a long time ago, he had lost interest in causing strife with the Ye Family members. He was extending Ye Yuanshan’s life against the heavens and risking his life to concoct the Lifespan Extension Pill, all just to keep Ye Yuanshan alive and to ensure that Ye Wenhao could ascend to the Peak of power symbolized by the Red Summit, thereby fulfilling one of his own wishes.

"I’m just annoyed by what happened back then, but since you’ve spoken up, I won’t stoop to their level, these blind fools," Chu Ji said, clearly aware of Ye Fan’s goal. Hearing what he had said, she decided not to cause a stir, but her words were still harsh, like a thorn in the hearts of Ye Zhen and the others, causing them great discomfort.

However—

No matter how uncomfortable it made them, they could only silently endure it, not daring to voice any objections.

"Xiao Fan, let’s go inside."

Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment before he took the initiative to speak, his attitude very subdued, not daring to put on the airs of the Ye Family Patriarch and a big shot.

Ye Fan nodded, smiled politely at Qin Yan and Ye Cang, then, accompanied by Ye Zhen and Ye Wenhao, walked into the Ye Family Mansion without glancing at the other Ye Family members from start to finish.

This scene deeply wounded Ye Wenling and the others, but they didn’t dare to make even the slightest peep, only silently following behind.

Seeing this, Chu Ji sneered once more, then climbed back into the Rolls-Royce Phantom and departed.

Shortly after, under the company of Ye Zhen and Ye Wenhao, Ye Fan arrived at the inner courtyard of the Ye Family Mansion, where Ye Yuanshan’s personal secretary and the security staff greeted him promptly.

Ye Fan, unlike how he treated Ye Wenling and the others, graciously returned each greeting with a smile.

"Xiao Fan is here."

At the same time, Ye Yuanshan, leaning on his cane, came out of his room to welcome Ye Fan, a kind smile on his face.

"Old Master, why have you come out?" Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly went forward to support him.

The last time he had treated Ye Yuanshan, infusing his body with Pure Yang Qi to regulate his health, he had completely reconciled with Ye Yuanshan and had acknowledged him as his grandfather.

"I’ve heard about you concocting the Lifespan Extension Pill. It was incredibly dangerous."

Ye Yuanshan sighed, his face full of self-reproach, "My boy, seeing what you are doing now and thinking back on how we once acted, I really wish I could slap myself."

"Old Master, it’s all in the past. Why bring it up?" Ye Fan smiled and said, "Come on, let’s go inside. Take the Lifespan Extension Pill, and I’ll help you catalyze the medicine."

"Mhm."

Ye Yuanshan nodded without putting on any pretense and, supported by Ye Fan, walked into the room.

Entering the room, Ye Fan took out a jade bottle containing the Lifespan Extension Pill, opened the lid, and poured out the pill.

The Lifespan Extension Pill was about the size of a marble, translucent and sparkling with a white glow, appearing quite magical, akin to a Luminous Pearl.

"No wonder they say this is an Immortal Pill from legends; the fragrance of the medicine is also incredibly strong." As soon as the Lifespan Extension Pill came out of the bottle, the rich fragrance of the medicine filled the air, exciting Ye Zhen.

Meanwhile, Ye Wenhao inwardly sighed—Ye Fan had faced Nine Deaths and One Life to concoct the Lifespan Extension Pill.

"Old Master, after you take the Lifespan Extension Pill, don’t think about anything. Just lie flat on the bed and relax completely. I’ll help you catalyze the medicine, which will likely take a few hours," Ye Fan said with a smile as he handed the Lifespan Extension Pill to Ye Yuanshan.

Ye Yuanshan carefully received it, his hands trembling uncontrollably—it felt like he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Ye Wenhao, upon seeing the situation, feared the medicinal power might dissipate, so he quickly handed a cup of boiled water to Ye Yuanshan.

"Xiao Fan, you are heaven’s greatest gift to the Ye Family!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ye Yuanshan’s voice choked up as he spoke, followed by his eyes reddening and tears welling up. He swallowed the Lifespan Extension Pill and let Ye Zhen help him lie down on the bed.

Ye Fan stepped forward, calmed his mind, and then grabbed Ye Yuanshan’s withered right hand.

Ye Zhen and Ye Wenhao, seeing this, quickly stepped back but kept their eyes fixed on the scene, their hearts suspended in their throats.

"Old Grandpa, relax completely and think of nothing," Ye Fan said softly. He then activated a Power Seed, and a stream of Power surged from his palm, flowing into Ye Yuanshan’s body.

Considering Ye Yuanshan’s advanced age and severely deteriorated meridians, Ye Fan took extra caution, carefully controlling the surge of Power as it circulated through the meridians.

A moment later, under Ye Fan’s control, the Power met with the Lifespan Extension Pill, acting like a catalyst, causing the pill to gradually dissolve.

As the medicinal power was released, Ye Fan immediately multitasked, continuing to catalyze the Lifespan Extension Pill while directing its medicinal power toward Ye Yuanshan’s vital organs.

The vital organs are the most crucial parts of the human body, and one cannot function without them.

A few days ago, Ye Fan had used Pure Yang Qi to nourish Ye Yuanshan’s vital organs, yet it was only a temporary solution—the signs of exhaustion in Ye Yuanshan’s organs were apparent, nearing necrosis.

Now, as the medicinal power of the Lifespan Extension Pill entered Ye Yuanshan’s vital organs, it immediately had an effect.

The previously exhausted organs, as if shedding their cocoon, gradually burst forth with vitality, starting to operate normally once again.

"The Lifespan Extension Pill really is miraculous!"

Sensing this scene, Ye Fan was elated, then continued with the catalysis, aiding Ye Yuanshan in absorbing the medicinal strength.

Gradually, Ye Yuanshan’s originally sallow face became rosy, the lackluster eyes regained their spark, and even his hair regained some of its blackness, no longer purely white.

"Uh..."

Upon witnessing this scene, both Ye Zhen and Ye Wenhao were first shocked, then overjoyed.

Evidently... they had confirmed through the changes in Ye Yuanshan that the Lifespan Extension Pill indeed had life-reviving efficacy and could save Ye Yuanshan’s life.

Just as they had anticipated, once the medicinal effect of the Lifespan Extension Pill was fully absorbed by Ye Yuanshan, he looked decades younger in just a short period, with nearly a third of his hair turning back to black, as if he had reversed aging.

"Old Grandpa, how do you feel?" Ye Fan asked, letting go of Ye Yuanshan’s hand.

"I feel like I’ve returned to my sixties, it’s just unbelievable!"

Ye Yuanshan was somewhat excited; he could clearly sense the condition of his body and felt as if he was in a dream.

"Father, you need to look in the mirror, it might give you a shock."

Ye Zhen said with a laugh, his inner shock greater even than that of Ye Yuanshan himself. If he hadn’t witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a single elixir pill could achieve such an effect.

"If Grandfather took a walk outside, it might scare some people to death."

Ye Wenhao also smiled. As a peerless existence within the realm of Innate Great Perfection, he had clearly sensed many presences on entering the alley, aware that the Ye Family Mansion was surrounded by secret watchers.

"It is certainly necessary to go out, but not yet, let’s keep those people guessing," Ye Yuanshan replied, his eyes twinkling with understanding.

"Father, what do you mean?" Ye Zhen mused.

"Arrange an activity for me in three days, let me show my face to the world. Furthermore, communicate with Comrade Jianguo, I wish to attend the old cadre meeting at the end of the month," Ye Yuanshan pondered.

"Alright!"

Ye Zhen’s eyes shone with excitement. He was very aware of the sensational impact Ye Yuanshan’s return would have on the political scene across Huaxia and even globally.

"Now, command someone to prepare a meal, today I want to drink a few cups with Xiao Fan." After arranging the matters, Ye Yuanshan smiled at Ye Fan.

"Old Grandpa, your body has just recovered, you still need a few days of conditioning and shouldn’t drink alcohol for the time being," Ye Fan reminded him.

"Is that so... Then I’ll substitute tea for wine today, and after a few days when my body is fully recovered, I’ll drink with you," Ye Yuanshan looked somewhat regretful, as if he was looking forward to a proper drink with Ye Fan.

"Old Grandpa, I’m planning to leave Yanjing today," said Ye Fan.

"Where do you plan to go?" Ye Yuanshan was startled, puzzled.

"I intend to go back to Spirit Mountain with my master for a period of quiet cultivation."

Ye Fan explained that Ye Yuanshan’s body had recovered and everything was settled. With Ye Wenhao poised to ascend to the Red Summit, there was only time to waitFor Ye Fan, that meant his wish had been fully accomplished.

With that in mind, he planned to temporarily leave the secular world, dedicating himself entirely to cultivation to fulfill another vow.

To slay Emperor Bai and conquer the Qing bang!
