Chapter 68: The Father-in-Law Attacks
Fan Ruoruo, who returned to the courtyard with Xiaolan, had many doubts in her heart.
She couldn't understand why Ye Chengfeng and Fan Xian communicated so smoothly.
Ye Chengfeng could understand the vocabulary Fan Xian used that she had never heard before.
"Sister Xiaolan, did Brother Chengfeng also dream of the celestial realm, just like my brother?"
"Huh? What celestial realm?"
Xiao Lan was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself, "Isn't Young Master a time traveler? Fan Xian didn't actually time travel, but the effect was similar. How did he get involved with the Immortal Realm?"
"Could it be that the young master actually has other cheat abilities? Even more advanced cheat abilities?"
Fan Ruoruo looked at Xiaolan's confused expression and assumed that Xiaolan didn't know.
"Forget it, Sister Xiaolan, you're usually a bit silly, it's pointless to ask."
"Ruoruo, are you asking for a spanking? Do you want me to spank you?"
As she spoke, Xiaolan pretended to make a move.
Meanwhile, after Fan Ruoruo left, Fan Xian had no more scruples.
"It's still a while before I go to Jiangnan, so don't use Ruoruo wanting to come back for my wedding as an excuse. You're not that kind of person."
"Heh, you figured it out!"
"My purpose is simple. Since you know me so well, you should know that I hold grudges very much. Li Yunrui assassinated us, do you think I wouldn't retaliate?"
Ye Chengfeng would be fine if he didn't bring it up, but he gets angry as soon as it's mentioned.
During Ye Chengfeng's time back in Dongyi City, he interrogated those martial arts figures and learned that they had not only come for Fan Xian, but also for Ye Chengfeng.
Simply put, even if the two hadn't traveled together initially,
Those martial arts figures would also split up and take action.
"I thought you didn't know. What did you say back then? That I dragged you into this, right? How come you've changed your mind now?"
"I didn't know at the time, and I hadn't offended her. Who knows why that crazy woman would kill me?"
"Yes, yes, you didn't offend her. You just killed Yan Xiaoyi, a ninth-rank archer under her command."
"I can't be bothered with you, I'm going to sleep. Go do whatever you need to do!"
As he spoke, Ye Chengfeng usurped Fan Xian's place and drove him out of the house.
"I've been kicked out. This is the Fan residence, and that's my room, isn't it!"
"Fine, fine, he's my brother-in-law, let him have his way."
In the end, Fan Xian used his lightness skill to leave the Fan residence.
With nowhere else to go, Fan Xian naturally went to his fiancée to complain.
"Wan'er, I've come to see you."
Fan Xian easily climbed through the window and entered.
"It's so late, why are you here?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it. My room was taken, so I had to come here to find some peace and quiet."
Fan Xian held Lin Wan'er's hand and sighed helplessly.
"Who dares to occupy Lord Fan's room?"
"Who else could it be but my good-for-nothing brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law? Which little sword immortal from Dongyi City is he? Didn't he bring Ling'er back to Dongyi City? Can I see him? I want to know how Ling'er is doing now."
When Ye Chengfeng left Kyoto, quite a few people knew about it.
The incident spread like wildfire afterward, and Emperor Qing was undoubtedly secretly fueling the flames.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to know. Don't worry, although he's a bit lecherous, he's still a good person."
"Could you ask him for me if Ling'er and Ruoruo are getting along well?"
Fan Xian didn't know how to explain to Lin Wan'er, so he thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, he's living in the Fan residence now. Once you're married into the family, you can just go and ask him yourself. Besides, Ruoruo is back too. Even if he doesn't say anything, Ruoruo wouldn't lie to her sister-in-law."
The next morning, before Ye Chengfeng had even gotten out of bed, the door was pushed open.
However, the person who came was not Fan Xian, but Fan Jian.
He pushed open the door and walked into the room with his hands behind his back.
Ye Chengfeng is now at least a ninth-rank official, so of course he noticed someone entering the room.
However, the person's steps were unsteady, so he judged that the person was definitely not young.
Among the Fan family members of this age, only Fan Jian is probably still alive, so Ye Chengfeng simply pretended to be asleep.
Because he hadn't figured out how to face his father-in-law yet.
Fan Jian craned his neck to look at Ye Chengfeng on the bed.
He muttered to himself, "He's quite handsome, and he does have some of my charm from my younger days."
"How dare they kidnap my daughter! They have to be taught a lesson."
"This old man even got a review?"
"Alright, you're a martial artist after all. You think you can't sense my presence? Get up now."
"Haha, Father-in-law, what brings you here? It should be your son-in-law who goes to pay his respects."
Ye Chengfeng knew he couldn't hide it from Fan Jian, so he quickly got up and said while putting on his clothes.
"Speak, what is your scheme in infiltrating my Qing Kingdom this time?"
"Father-in-law, you must avenge me! The Second Prince actually sent Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu to intercept Ruoruo, almost causing her to die. I will not rest until I avenge this."
Fan Jian was genuinely unaware of this matter, and when Ye Chengfeng told him, Fan Jian was initially taken aback.
In addition, the Second Prince and Fan Xian have been at odds for some time now.
"Sigh, he's still a prince. You don't necessarily want to kill him, do you?"
"Father-in-law, rest assured, even for your sake, I will not go too far, but I will teach him a lesson and give Ruoruo some satisfaction."
As a father, Fan Jian had no reason to stop his son-in-law from standing up for his daughter.
"Don't go too far, and act within your capabilities."
Fan Jian uttered these words in a low voice, then turned and left.
"The old man came, is this all he wanted to tell me?"
Ye Chengfeng shook his head; he would not leave the Fan residence for some time.
Because he is not suitable to appear in public.
Not long after Ye Chengfeng got up, Fan Xian returned with dark circles under his eyes.
"You spent the whole night with Lin Wan'er?"
Seeing Fan Xian's listless appearance, Ye Chengfeng teased him.
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that? It's all your fault."
"You don't even thank me, and you're blaming me instead?"
"Alright, I won't hold this against you. You're getting married soon, and as your brother-in-law, I should prepare a gift for you. Okay, go ahead and do your thing, don't bother me."
"????"
Fan Xian was chased away by Ye Chengfeng once again.
"That bastard, he acts like this place is his own home!"
Fan Xian shook his head helplessly and left.
As Ye Chengfeng said, Fan Xian has a lot to do.
After Fan Xian left, Ye Chengfeng began to ponder what gift would be appropriate to give him.
"That guy seems to have everything he needs. Should I give him the sword technique I just learned?"
"Okay, it's decided then."
Ye Chengfeng not only wanted to give Fan Xian the sword technique he had mastered, but also to depict it in the form of calligraphy and painting.
Ye Chengfeng's painting skills and techniques are both above average.
He was also afraid that Fan Xian would not be able to grasp the true meaning of swordsmanship.
He very much hoped that Fan Xian could practice the sword technique he had comprehended, and the reason was quite simple.
Fan Xian is talented enough that if there is anyone in the world who can comprehend the sword technique created by Ye Chengfeng, Fan Xian is definitely one of them.
Of course, Ye Chengfeng wasn't a generous person. The reason he taught Fan Xian was to observe Fan Xian.
As the saying goes, an outsider sees more of the game. When Ye Chengfeng practiced on his own, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his swordsmanship.
This doesn't mean his swordsmanship is truly without fault; it's just that, as a cultivator, he can't see where the problem lies.
