Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Begging Master Ye for Forgiveness

The stunning woman let out a sharp cry, but Ye Fan showed no sign of stopping.

"Elder Ge!" the stunning woman quickly called out.

Whoosh——

As the stunning woman's words fell, the grey-robed elder behind her moved to intercept Ye Fan's right arm, swift as lightning.

With the crisis averted, Chen Haonan looked at the stunning woman and wailed, "Sis, you finally came! If you were any later, this kid would've beaten me to death!"

"Sis, I told him our family's name, but not only did this brat not take me seriously, he even said our Chen family's heirloom longevity lock is an item of evil omen. His heart deserves to be condemned. Sis, you can't let him off!"

"Oh? Is that so?" The stunning woman frowned in displeasure as she looked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took a glance at the stunning woman and saw she had quite a bit of beauty.

She appeared elegant and flawless, with no blemishes on her entire body, and her graceful figure seemed like a perfect masterpiece from the heavens. Dressed in white with her black hair flowing, she resembled an Ice Fairy descending into the mortal realm, giving off an unapproachable aura.

Ye Fan spoke in a grave voice, "What I said is the truth!"

"Is that so?" The stunning woman's face turned icy cold.

She was Chen Lin, the Chen Family's daughter. Since her father fell ill, she had taken charge of the entire Chen Family.

Although Chen Lin was not the head of the Chen family, she possessed authority equivalent to that of the family leader.

The longevity lock was an heirloom treasure passed down through generations in the Chen family, known to all. Ye Fan's assertion that the longevity lock was an item of evil omen deeply made Chen Lin question the truth of his claim.

Chen Haonan, exasperated, said, "Sis, don't listen to his nonsense. Take revenge for me quickly!"

"Elder Ge, take action and finish him off!"

Chen Lin's face was grim, and she did not stop him.

"How dare you say the longevity lock is an item of evil omen, you audacious junior!"

The grey-robed elder shouted angrily, and with a palm strike, he blasted towards the crown of Ye Fan's head.

"Get out of the way!"

Ye Fan got angry, and with a palm strike, he fought back head-on.

With a loud bang, the grey-robed elder was sent staggering back three big steps by Ye Fan's palm, while Ye Fan stood firm as a rock, unmoved.

"What? Elder Ge was actually forced back?" Chen Lin was shocked.

Others might not know, but she was very clear: Elder Ge was an Ancient Martial Artist and one of the Chen family's top retainers. Even elite special forces would pale in comparison to Elder Ge.

What Chen Lin had never expected was that Ye Fan, a young man of such a young age, could actually force Elder Ge back with a single palm.

Chen Haonan didn't realize the severity of the situation and angrily said, "Good, you even dared to make a move on Elder Ge. It seems you really don't want to live!"

"Elder Ge didn't use his full strength just now, and you were lucky to have forced him back. Now that Elder Ge is serious, you're in for it. Elder Ge, go all out and kill him!"

Forced back by Ye Fan's palm, Elder Ge's face turned crimson, Ye Fan had made him lose face in front of the Chen siblings, igniting his rage.

"You brat, I've underestimated you," Elder Ge said. "Just now I only used thirty percent of my strength. Don't blame me for being impolite this time!"

"Don't embarrass yourself!" Ye Fan said with a stern face.

Elder Ge had no intention of holding back. He let out a loud cry and, like a bolt of lightning, charged at Ye Fan.

"GET OUT!!!"

Ye Fan shouted again, and in the instant that the grey-robed elder was about to approach him, Ye Fan suddenly swung his sleeve, and a violent force burst forth from his body.

The grey-robed elder had not even gotten close when the violent power struck him. Caught off guard, he felt as if his elderly body had been hit by a large truck, and he was sent flying back in a frenzy.

Finally, Elder Ge's back slammed into the wall with great force, and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood with a retching sound.

"Elder Ge!"

Seeing the grey-robed elder being shaken and sent flying by Ye Fan, Chen Haonan was shocked and lost his composure.

Not just Chen Haonan was taken aback, Chen Lin and Kong Xuan both had their expressions drastically change.

"Is this... Is this the external release of True Qi? Injuring someone through the air?"

Kong Xuan's delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes widened with horror.

Having repelled the grey-robed elder, Ye Fan scanned the people of the Chen Family, "Let's stop here, or else, I guarantee your blood will spatter on the spot!"

"External release of True Qi to injure someone through the air? That's a technique only a Martial Arts Grandmaster could have!" Chen Lin exclaimed in shock.

The next second, Chen Lin shouted, "No one is to make a move!"

"A grandmaster's technique?" The arrogant Chen Haonan was instantly dumbfounded.

"Yes, a grandmaster's technique!"

As the daughter of the Chen Family, Chen Lin often had the chance to interact with Ancient Martial Artists, and she was very clear about how terrifying a Martial Arts Grandmaster could be.

Rumor had it that a Martial Arts Grandmaster was sufficient to start a sect, establish a century-old Noble Clan, and be revered by tens of thousands.

Her beautiful eyes widened, never in her dreams had she expected the young man before her to be an extremely terrifying Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Chen Lin, worthy of being the Chen Family heiress, quickly collected herself and took a deep breath before advancing solemnly, "Junior Chen Lin pays her respects to Master Ye. We had no intention to offend just now, we ask for Master Ye's forgiveness!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Haonan and his entourage were all stunned, even Elder Ge and Kong Xuan were taken aback.

They all knew very well that Chen Lin, as the heiress of the Chen Family, held control over the vast Chen Estate, her status extraordinary; wherever Chen Lin went, she shone as bright as the stars being held up by the moon, even the megatycoons within the province showed her much respect.

Who would have thought that the high and mighty Chen Lin would apologize to a young man?

"Sister, what are you doing? You're actually apologizing to this kid?" Chen Haonan exclaimed in disbelief.

Chen Lin looked at Chen Haonan and said sternly, "Haonan, hurry up and apologize to Master Ye!" Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Apologize to this kid?" Chen Haonan was incredulous.

Chen Lin said icily, "Haonan, did you not hear what I said? Apologize to Master Ye immediately!"

Then, Chen Lin's expression was one of respect as she said, "I'm sorry, Master Ye, my younger brother has always lacked discipline, please forgive the laughter he has caused you!"

At this moment, Chen Lin was determined to have her younger brother Chen Haonan apologize until Ye Fan's anger subsided.

Now that she controlled the entire Chen Family, she knew whom the Chen Family could not afford to provoke, and the words Martial Arts Grandmaster weighed on her heart like a mountain, making it difficult to breathe.

If Ye Fan were to become enraged and move against the Chen Family, she feared the vast Chen Estate would be left without chicken or dog alive.

Ten years earlier, a Noble Clan from the Central Plains had offended a Martial Arts Grandmaster and paid dearly for their ignorance. Enraged, the Martial Arts Grandmaster had infiltrated the family in the dead of night.

In a single night, everyone in that Clan was dismembered, creating an uproar across the Central Plains.

Since then, whenever the words Martial Arts Grandmaster were mentioned, even the Noble Clans and Powerful Families within the Central Plains would shudder in fear.

"Sister, have me apologize to him? Have you gone mad? Our Chen Family is a powerful clan, if we apologize to this kid, once word gets out, how will our Chen Family stand in the Central Plains?"

Chen Haonan eyed Ye Fan with disdain and said, "If all else fails, call for Second Granduncle, I refuse to believe that even Second Granduncle can't handle him."

The Second Granduncle he referred to was a powerful Ancient Martial Artist within the Chen Family, whose strength had already reached that of a Half-step Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Seeing Chen Haonan showing no sign of repentance, Chen Lin's beautiful eyes turned cold, and with a slap, her hand soundly struck Chen Haonan's face.

"Sister, you... you actually hit me for this kid?"

Feeling the intense sting on his face, Chen Haonan was shocked.

Chen Lin, burning with anger, scolded, "Foolish and ignorant!"

"You dare to offend Master Ye, get on your knees this instant!"
