I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 217

“Ye Fan wins!”

In the backyard of the Ye Residence, Ye Xiude announced the victor while waving his hand.

Today was the clan competition that was held every season in the Ye Residence. All the disciples had to participate, and then they would be grouped according to their age.

In the past three years, Ye Fan had always been a punching bag that every disciple of the Ye family wanted to fight. But now, Ye Fan had become a living hell that everyone was afraid of.

Seven battles and seven victories. Ye Fan won every victory with just one hit. Among the disciples of the Ye family of the same age, there was no longer anyone who was a match for Ye Fan.

“Thank you.” Ye Fan cupped his hands toward Ye Zhong, who had been defeated by him, and jumped off the stage.

When the competition was completely over, Ye Lingtian personally presented Ye Fan with a reward – a tier 4 Heavenly Fragrance Pill. For these little disciples who had yet to go out to train, such a reward could be said to be quite extravagant.

After giving out the reward, Xin Dong’er immediately went in front of Ye Fan to congratulate him.

“Brother Ye Fan! You’re really amazing, your performance was too great!”

Ye Fan lightly smiled and nodded towards Xin Dong’er. Seeing the two of them leave hand in hand, Ye Yong’s eyes were still filled with resentment. He no longer dared to directly go up and cause trouble for Ye Fan.

“D*mn it… This d*mn trash! Why! Why!” After cursing in his heart, Ye Yong’s eyes showed a hint of sternness.

Now, Ye Fan was no longer that shut-in youth. He no longer stayed in the manor all day to cultivate. Instead, he would be like the other disciples and accept some of the out-of-town trial quests.

Today, Ye Fan and Dong’er were going to a small town by a lake. According to the villagers, a water stronghold had appeared there. A few thieves robbed the nearby villages very frequently. They had caused many casualties and destroyed many families.

“Dong’er, let’s go to the Chuanluo Manor and ask around. Their place should have just been attacked by that water stronghold.”

“Alright.”

“I heard that the Chuanluo Manor’s manor head is a mystic cultivator. It seems that those water bandits have some strength since they dared to attack a mystic cultivator. This time, we…”

Ye Fan was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt all the hair on his body stand up. A feeling as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast rose in his heart.

“Dong’er, hide now!”

After saying that, Ye Fan grabbed Dong’er’s hand and was about to run into the forest next to him. However, he realized that he could not pull her away.

“Dong’er…?”

Ye Fan turned around and looked at Xin Dong’er with a strange expression. “There are quite a few powerful surges of mystic energy coming towards us without any concealment. You should have felt it too, right?”

Xin Dong’er clenched her fists after hearing this. She raised her head and shouted, “Brother Ye Fan, quickly leave!”

Seeing that Dong’er seemed to know something, Ye Fan hurriedly asked, “Dong’er, what exactly is going on?”

“Don’t ask so many questions. Brother Ye Fan, leave now!” As Xin Dong’er spoke, she pushed Ye Fan away.

However, how could Ye Fan abandon Xin Dong’er like this? He grabbed Xin Dong’er with a flip of his hand. But just as he was about to say something, five figures dressed in black robes landed around them like ghosts.

“Miss Dong’er, I’ve finally found you.”

After saying that, the leader took off his hood and knelt down on one knee in front of Xin Dong’er. He continued, “I am the vice commander of the Black Feathers Army, Yong Yuanzhou. I am here under the orders of the clan leader to bring Miss home.”

Ye Fan, who was completely unable to react to the situation, turned around and looked at Xin Dong’er. “Dong’er, what exactly is going on!?”

“I’m sorry, Brother Ye Fan. It’s hard to disobey my father’s orders. I have to go back.”

Looking at Xin Dong’er was determined to leave, Ye Fan suddenly felt a stifling feeling in his chest. He shouted, “Dong ‘er!”

He had just vowed not long ago to protect this girl with his life. How could he just watch as she was taken away by a group of unfriendly strangers.

However, just as Ye Fan was about to grab Xin Dong’er, an invisible mystic energy struck his body, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

“So powerful!”

Ye Fan already knew that there was a huge difference in strength between him and the owner of this mystic energy when he was blasted away, but that person clearly did not move at all. The mystic energy in that his body had already been completely dispersed by the attack of that person.

Looking at Ye Fan who was lying on the ground, Yong Yuanzhou said, “You’re that Ye family’s trash young master, Ye Fan, right? Miss has delayed the date of returning home several times just for an ant like you?”

After Yong Yuanzhou finished speaking, a ball of blue mystic energy condensed in his hand. The strength of the mystic energy condensed was so strong that Ye Fan believed that even if he only brushed against it, he would probably die without a burial ground.

“Stop!” At this moment, Dong’er also opened her hands to protect Ye Fan. “Yong Yuanzhou! If you dare to hurt him, don’t even think about bringing me back with you.”

Only then did Yong Yuanzhou disperse the blue mystic energy. He respectfully lowered his head and said to Xin Dong’er, “Yes, Miss, please calm down.” After saying that, he raised his head and glared at Ye Fan.

“I only want to remind some ants that they are not worthy of you. Oh no, it should be said that they are not even qualified to look at you.”

Ye Fan, who had suffered such an insult, did not retaliate, instead, he calmly walked up to Xin Dong’er and said, “I’m sorry. Although I don’t know what’s going on, I know that the current me still can’t protect you. But don’t worry, no matter what powerful family from you’re from, I will definitely work hard to obtain their recognition.”

“I will become a mystic king. If mystic king is not enough, then I will become a mystic master! If mystic master is still not enough, then I will become a mystic emperor! Believe me, I will definitely bring you back to my side!”
