Chapter 2148 - 2149: Qin Fenghuang’s Master
Time flew by like a fleeting horse, passing swiftly, and before they knew it, it was already dawn, with the sky showing hints of light.
As the morning light started to break, Longshou took Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, leaving the hotel to find Ye Fanchen!
Longshou did not arrange for Ye Fanchen to stay in any hotel, but instead placed him in an ordinary farmhouse surrounded by numerous bamboo shoots, resembling a bamboo forest, creating a lush green view accompanied by the pleasant rustling sound when the breeze blew through.
When Longshou arrived with Ye Xunhuan, the horizon was already getting brighter.
"Let’s go, it’s just here!" Longshou glanced at Ye Xunhuan and said.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t speak, but followed Longshou forward.
With Ye Xunhuan saying nothing, Olivia naturally didn’t say much either, as she was merely accompanying Ye Xunhuan.
Since Ye Xunhuan spoke nothing, she also refrained from saying anything.
For now, she was just a listener.
Once inside, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia immediately spotted the woman who previously led them into the Broken Cliff Residence, Ling Yun!
Seeing Longshou bringing Ye Xunhuan and Olivia over, Ling Yun immediately showed a warm smile: "Second Master, Young Master!"
"Is Uncle here?" Longshou softly asked.
"Old Chen has been waiting for you and the Young Master for quite a while." Ling Yun softly replied, "Follow me!"
Then Ling Yun led Ye Xunhuan and the others into the room.
Inside the room, Ye Fanchen was sitting on the couch, sipping fragrant tea, looking relaxed and at ease.
"Old Chen, Second Master has brought Young Master and Miss Olivia!"
Ye Fanchen nodded: "Ye Huang, Ling Yun, you two should go outside!"
"Uncle..."
"Old Chen..."
"Go on!" Ye Fanchen waved his hand.
Ling Yun and Longshou had long known Ye Fanchen’s temperament, recognizing that when he asked them to leave, it meant a decision had been made, and if they didn’t comply, Ye Fanchen would inevitably become angry!
This forced the two to choose to leave.
Afterwards, once the two left, Ye Fanchen addressed Ye Xunhuan: "Sit anywhere you like!"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t fuss with Ye Fanchen and directly sat beside him, quietly observing Ye Fanchen: "You seem to be in good health!"
"I’m alright!" Ye Fanchen softly replied, "Not like you, covered in wounds."
"You really have a keen sense!"
Ye Fanchen chuckled, speaking with ease, "I’ve always been sensitive to the smell of blood."
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan and Ye Fanchen, like old friends, began reminiscing, without delving into other topics.
But then, Ye Xunhuan’s tone shifted: "Longshou has told me some things, but only about the relationship between you and me, as well as some matters concerning my mother!"
"Regarding my father, he hardly mentioned anything. He said you would tell me everything!"
Though Ye Xunhuan inquired, Ye Fanchen did not directly respond, instead slowly shifting his gaze toward Olivia: "Olivia, if he becomes emotional later, I hope you can calm him down!"
Surprised by Ye Fanchen’s words, Olivia was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized the significance and nodded in agreement.
Then, Ye Fanchen gradually fixed his gaze on Ye Xunhuan, speaking leisurely: "What do you wish to know?"
"Whatever you know, I want to know."
Ye Fanchen chuckled softly: "You’re just as cunning as your father!"
"Let me start with your mother, then move on to your father. You aren’t annoyed by my long-windedness, are you?"
"Not at all!" Ye Xunhuan immediately shook his head: "The more detailed you are, the better."
"Very well!" Ye Fanchen nodded quietly: "Longshou must have told you about your mother’s talents, but he didn’t know that much of what your mother learned was taught by me; what your father taught was only a part of it!"
"Moreover, I was the one who knew your mother first; when I met her, she was still a young girl just beginning to learn ancient martial arts, and I was the one who introduced her to it."
"Though we didn’t bear the titles of mentor and disciple, in practice, we had such a relationship."
As Ye Fanchen spoke, he seemed to become engulfed in distant memories, a nostalgic expression slowly emerging on his face.
"Your mother was extraordinarily smart, the smartest and most suitable martial arts candidate I had ever seen. I taught her everything I knew, and she didn’t disappoint me. In just over half a year, she had learned almost everything I could do!" Ye Fanchen said with pride: "Furthermore, your mother’s progress was rapid, but precisely because of this, I knew she should never appear publicly, nor could anyone discover her extraordinary aptitude, or it would be disastrous."
"So I warned your mother not to display any skills in public, not to reveal any abilities, nor to tell anyone what she had learned or that it was taught by me!" Ye Fanchen said matter-of-factly: "Everything I said, she completely adhered to!"
"But good things didn’t last long; one person’s appearance shattered it all." Ye Fanchen smiled bitterly!
"Who?"
"Your father!" Ye Fanchen replied helplessly: "At that time, your father saw me going out and, perhaps out of curiosity, followed me surreptitiously."
"I paid it no mind then, and considering your father’s strength and his deliberate concealment enabled him to tail me all the way to your mother." Ye Fanchen chuckled bitterly: "Out of nowhere, your father suddenly struck me, provoking a fight with your mother!"
"But who would’ve thought, your mother actually beat your father by half a move!"
"Defeated by your mother, albeit grudgingly, he had to admit that in terms of technique, she bested him!"
"That loss led your father to challenge your mother twice more, but she again beat him each time by half a move. It irritated your father, who then initiated a different kind of duel, engaging in Qimen Dunjia, which captivated your mother deeply, leading her into a complex love affair with your father..."
