A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2194

A few hours later, Old Madam Chu left the room. “How is she, Great-grandma?” Ye Fan asked anxiously.

Old Madam Chu shook her head. “Her life essence was injured. There's nothing much I can do. I'm afraid she won't be able to live for much longer.” Old Madam Chu sighed. She then could not hold back her anger as she cursed, “Chu Zhengliang and his son are such heartless b*stards.”

Each generation of the Chu family produced offspring who were upright.

Every one of them was brought up to have good manners and were respectable.

Even if they were to murder someone, they would do it openly instead of doing it in such a despicable manner in secret.

However, Old Madam Chu did not expect the Chu family to produce Chu Zhengliang and Chu Qitian, those two b*stards for this generation.

How can they do such a cruel thing as digging her eyeballs out? Plus, the one who suffered the ill fate was the beloved daughter of the Jones family.

Old Madam Chu would burst into anger whenever she thought of that.

“N-No. That's impossible. Angie's still so young. How can she die just like that? Great-grandma, I beg of you. Please find a way to save her life.” Ye Fan felt himself die a little inside when he heard what Old Madam Chu said.

His face was pale as he kept shaking his head.

He could not accept Old Madam Chu's answer.

All this while, Ye Fan regarded Old Madam Chu very highly and there was nothing the old lady could not do.

In fact, Old Madam Chu was the one who brought him back from the brink of death after countless times he had suffered major injuries.

She could even defeat Chu Yuan and leave Chu Sect, which showed how powerful she was.

Great-grandma is like a god. How can she not be able to treat Angie?

Ye Fan continued begging her desperately.

Old Madam Chu was also sad.

“Silly boy. Do you think I don't want to heal her? The Jones family and the Chu family have a long history together. They've been assisting our family for almost a thousand years. Because of that, I'll definitely do my best to save her if there is a way. Alas, my abilities are limited, and her injuries are too severe. Even if I give it my all, the most that I can do is make sure she lives for another year. After that, I'm afraid...” Old Madam Chu sighed.

Disappointment and guilt flooded Ye Fan's heart.

He walked forward and stared at Angie who was unconscious on the bed.

He stared at her delicate yet childish face and her beautiful, long eyelashes.

He could not accept the reality at all. How can such a kind and cute young girl only have a year left to live?

Tears fell from the corners of Ye Fan's eyes. “Great-grandma, is there really no other way?” his lips tremble as he asked Old Madam Chu again.

“For now, there's no way to treat her. Unless...” Old Madam Chu paused for a moment.

Ye Fan turned around. “Unless what?”

“Unless you can break through to the Fifth Level of Celestial Cloud and enter god realm. Only then will Angie have a chance of survival.”

Ye Fan's eyes sparkled in interest upon hearing that. “Are you serious?”

Old Madam Chu nodded. “Mr. Yunyang created Celestial Cloud. It's considered to be a technique belonging to a celestial being. It is said that if you break through to the Fifth Level, you will have extraordinary power. You will surpass all mortals and enter god realm!”

She continued, “By then, there will be a huge surge in Celestial Cloud's power. Not only will your strength increase rapidly, but you will also have the power of creation. With that, you'll be able to treat Angie's injured life essence.”

Ye Fan's spirits were lifted after hearing that. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He was like a traveler of the night who was reignited with hope after seeing a spark of dim light in front of him.

“Okay. Then I'll enter god realm within a year!” Ye Fan said. His eyes were filled with determination.

That's right. My current power level is only at the peak of supreme grandmaster. There's only one step left to enter god realm.

“It's god realm we're talking about. Do you really think you can easily enter just because you defeated Chu Yuan? You are too gullible. The only way you can enter that realm is by relying on Celestial Cloud, the powerful technique that your ancestor left behind. Otherwise, why would you even be Chu Yuan's enemy?”

Old Madam Chu shook her head and sighed. She slowly recalled the past. “After your ancestor, Chu Yunyang, the martial arts world across the world prospered for almost a thousand years, yet only five people were able to truly become part of god realm. All five of them were astonishingly talented individuals. Back then, they were considered far more glorious than you.”

She continued, “As of now, you've only come into contact with two god-realm masters. One of them was the rascal you brought home the other day. However, she can only be considered half a god realm master. Although her soul is reincarnated from god realm, her vessel is too weak, and she's unable to use her actual powers from god realm. The other one is your grandfather, Chu Yuan. Though he can't be considered your grandfather since he's only a body brought back to life by a sealed demon.”

She paused momentarily before continuing, “You can say that there hasn't been any individual who could enter god realm by depending on their strength. It may be hard for them, but it'll be more challenging for you. After all, you're cultivating the full version of Celestial Cloud. This technique has the power to surpass other common techniques. However, at the same time, it is more complex and complicated to comprehend. Ever since it was passed down from Mr. Yunyang, there hasn't been anyone able to enter god realm with this technique apart from him.”

“Even for me, I've been stuck at the Fourth Level of Celestial Cloud for almost a hundred years. I guess, even if I die, it'll be hard for me to break through to the next level.” Old Madam Chu sighed.

What?

“Great-grandma, you... You've been stuck at the Fourth Level for almost a hundred years?” Ye Fan was shocked to hear that.

Old Madam Chu had always been a legendary character in the family.

Although she married into the Chu family, she relied on her talent in martial arts to subdue the whole family. Finally, she became the head of the family and guarded the family's numerous secrets and resources.

However, Ye Fan never expected such a fantastic person like his great-grandma to be stuck at the Fourth Level for close to a hundred years.

As he thought of that, he realized that it had been years since he broke through to the Fourth Level of Celestial Cloud and had never improved since then.

Ye Fan became low-spirited once more at that thought.

Can I really break through to god realm when Great-grandma has been stuck on the Fourth Level for a hundred years?

Old Madam Chu smiled and patted Ye Fan's head when she saw the somber expression on his face. “Silly boy. You have to believe in yourself. I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm. I just want you to be aware of the situation. You shouldn't place your hopes for this, but at the same time, you shouldn't give up either. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate.”

“Who knows? Maybe you can really do it in a year and reach a level that even I couldn't achieve for the past hundred years. After all, you're Mr. Yunyang's chosen one,” Old Madam Chu comforted Ye Fan.

Although she said that, it was obvious that she did not have too much hope.

After all, a year is too short.

“Okay. I understand now, Great-grandma. No matter what happens, I'll keep giving it a try as long as there is a chance. Life has treated that girl harshly. I don't want her to leave before she's able to

experience the wonders of the world. When I've arranged everything, I'll immediately cultivate in seclusion and fight my way to god realm.” Ye Fan looked at Angie as he balled his hands into fists.

Old Madam Chu nodded. “Okay. It's good for you to give it a try. After all, there won't be any disadvantage at your end whether you succeed or fail. All these years, you busied yourself with getting revenge, so it's time you settle down and cultivate properly.”

She then changed the topics. “All right. Let's stop talking about this. I'll awaken Angie first. Please assist me later. I need to borrow some of your Internal Energy.”

Although she could not treat Angie to full recovery, she could at least let her spend the next year awake.
