Chapter 84: Chapter 83: What is Forced Cannot Be Attained

When the two arrived at the side courtyard, Ye Fan said to Su Qingxue, "Let’s go."

"Child!" Mrs. Jiang stepped forward to stop him.

Ye Fan replied, "So things can’t be forced. If they are, it only leads to problems. It’s enough that we acknowledge each other."

"Oh, still ungrateful? It’s just as well. It’s been over twenty years, who knows if you’re an impostor!" Ma Li jeered.

When Ye Fan shot her a look filled with murderous intent, Ma Li was scared half to death.

As for Ye Chungang, he didn’t dare to trouble Ye Fan anymore. He had already witnessed Ye Fan’s power. How could he possibly dare to provoke him now? That would be suicide.

"My, it’s quite lively today! It’s been a long ti since the Ye Family has seen this much excitent. Won’t you all stay for a while?" an amiable yet authoritative voice called out.

Ye Fan turned around and saw an elder approaching. It was none other than Ye Qingshan, the Ye Family Patriarch. His strength was formidable; although he had just entered the Acquired Stage, his foundation was profound. However, Ye Fan could see that the critical acupoints for his cultivation had been severely damaged. At this stage, it was unlikely he could ever advance further.

He approached with a smile.

"Father!"

"Father!"

Ye Tiannan and Ye Chungang both went up to greet him.

"Get out of the way!" Ye Qingshan barked. They awkwardly stepped aside, knowing all too well their father’s temper was not one to be provoked.

At this point, Ye Qingshan smiled at Ye Fan. "You’ve co back."

"It’s good that you’re back, truly good! I always believed you’d return to the Ye Family, and I never imagined this day would actually co, hahaha!" Ye Qingshan laughed openly.

Ye Fan, however, responded, "But I’m not happy about it."

"There are many unpleasant things in life. Don’t dwell on them," Ye Qingshan advised. Then he commanded, "What are you all still standing around for? Go and prepare a banquet at once! The most important mber of my Ye Family has returned, and we must celebrate!"

At his command, several family mbers hurried off. In front of Ye Qingshan, even if they were displeased, they dared not show their anger.

Mrs. Jiang gave Ye Fan a pleading look, as if to ask, ’Can’t you stay?’

Seeing her expression, Ye Fan felt a pang in his heart. He knew he had to agree, no matter what. Su Qingxue then stepped away with Mrs. Jiang.

At this point, Ye Qingshan said to Ye Fan, "Don’t bla your father; he did it for your own good. Unfortunately, the next two generations of the Ye Family haven’t produced a single promising successor. Our family may seem tranquil on the surface, but we are plagued by internal troubles and external threats."

Ye Qingshan sighed helplessly.

"I don’t bla him. It’s just his tone that irritates ," Ye Fan replied.

"He’s impulsive by nature; there’s nothing to be done. Ye Fan, would you like to stay with the Ye Family?" he inquired.

Ye Fan shook his head, his action a clear answer.

Ye Qingshan continued, "Although the Ye Family faces dangers from within and without, I see that you are soone destined for greatness. If you choose to stay, I will support you in becoming the Ye Family Patriarch!"

Ye Fan said, "I think you might be mistaken. I just want to eat, drink, and wait for death. Besides, I really don’t care for the position of Ye Family Patriarch."

Without a doubt, he had clearly expressed his thoughts. Though the position of Ye Family Patriarch was indeed a high one, Ye Fan genuinely looked down on it. It was simply because his ambitions soared far higher.

"Ambitious!" Ye Qingshan laughed. He found that Ye Fan was more and more to his taste.

Then Ye Fan asked, "That injured acupoint of yours—who did it? To be so vicious as to halt your cultivation!"

"It’s an old injury. Five years ago, a man claiming to be you ca to the Ye Family. I noticed his features were remarkably similar to yours, so our family treated him as one of our own."

"However, I never expected that he had co to harm . He struck that acupoint, and as a result, my cultivation has been stagnant for five years. All this ti, I’ve had to endure the agonizing pain from the wound!" Ye Qingshan shared.

At this, Ye Fan said, "Since that’s the case, I might have a way to heal you, though the process will be very painful."

"I know you’re just trying to comfort . I consulted many famous doctors back then, and they all said this acupoint could not be unblocked unless a King of Innate Masters personally intervened."

Ye Qingshan sighed. "But how many Kings of Innate Masters are there? There are only seven in the global rankings. Why would any of them lift a finger for soone as insignificant as ?"

The seven great kings of the International Dark World—each one was an awe-inspiring global presence. Although he was the Ye Family Patriarch, compared to such towering figures, he was truly nothing.

Ye Fan said awkwardly, "Well, that... that person... it’s not like they can just leave right now, can they?"

This was a frustrating topic. He didn’t know how to explain it. All he knew was that being handso ca with far more responsibilities and pressure.

Just then, Su Qingxue said, "Don’t tell

you took the chance to ss around with Fang Nan while I was away?"

Instantly, Ye Fan was speechless. To be honest, the thought had crossed his mind.

As for Su Qingxue, her face turned red. Mrs. Jiang was right there, after all! To bring this up now, wasn’t it a bit disrespectful?

But Mrs. Jiang had heard everything. She asked, "You an that little Witch from the Fang family, Fang Nan?"

"Yep, yep!" Su Qingxue said, feeling deflated. In the competition for Ye Fan, she had lost. She had lost to Fang Nan, who had beaten her to the punch and claid him first. However, the fact that Ye Fan spent a lot of ti with her was a great comfort.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was secretly delighted. Her son’s thods were truly impressive, she marveled silently. Being in Shangjing, and with Ye Tiannan as a high-ranking military official, they naturally had a long-standing relationship with the Fang family. She had once thought of matchmaking Fang Nan with her younger son, Ye Langfeng, but she knew he was completely unworthy of her. Besides, the Fang family would have never agreed.

And now, Fang Nan had been preemptively claid by Ye Fan. This was like killing two birds with one stone! Su Qingxue was a daughter-in-law she was satisfied with, and so was Fang Nan. She never thought her son would manage to snag them both.

Outwardly, however, she feigned a headache and said, "I told you to philander less, but you wouldn’t listen! From now on, do fewer things that will wrong Qingxue!"

This statent announced her allegiance with Su Qingxue, but there was a loophole. Telling him to do it *less* wasn’t the sa as forbidding it entirely. One had to admit, the language of the Divine Land was truly profound and intricate!

Su Qingxue felt a sweet warmth, completely unaware that Mrs. Jiang was inwardly overjoyed.

Ye Fan could only nod in compliance.

Afterward, Mrs. Jiang and Su Qingxue left for the company, leaving Ye Fan feeling rather superfluous, as he had no aptitude for that sort of thing.

Just then, he received a call from He Yu.

"What’s up?" Ye Fan asked.

He Yu said over the phone, "Big Brother, I need to ask you for a favor!"
