TRWSB – Chapter 95 The Aftermath Of Yi Fan’s Revelation

Yi family.

“Chuxue, what’s wrong?” Yang Man asked, looking at Yi Chuxue, whose face was deathly pale, as she turned to Yi Xun for an explanation.

Yi Xun stiffened his face and said, “It seems like she was scared.”

“Scared? How could she be scared?” Yang Man asked in confusion.

“She went to find Yi Fan and got frightened by his snake,” Yi Xun said.

Yi Xun clenched his fists. He had originally gone to Yi Fan’s place to cause trouble, but ended up being severely taught a lesson. The guards he brought were all knocked out by Yi Fan. Although Yi Fan didn’t kill them all, those men were badly poisoned and their strength was greatly diminished.

Yi Xun had lost face at Yi Fan’s place and wasn’t willing to talk much about it.

Yi Chuxue lay in bed, her eyes filled with terror. “No, no, don’t come over, don’t kill me.”

Yi Huo stood by Yi Chuxue’s bed, looking at her terrified expression. Suddenly, he felt a strange sense of twisted satisfaction. It was good—Yi Chuxue was also ruined.

Yang Man looked at Yi Chuxue, and the tense string in her heart finally snapped. With her son and daughter both in trouble, she felt mentally and physically exhausted.

“It was Yi Fan’s doing. What exactly does he want to achieve?”

Yi Xun closed his eyes, feeling a bit defeated. “Yi Fan, that kid, has completely broken free from my control.”

Yi Xun clenched his fists. He had never imagined that the son he had always ignored would turn out to be the real genius. Yi Fan’s strength had already surpassed his own.

Yi Xun looked at Yi Chuxue. He didn’t fully believe Yi Fan’s claim that Li Anya had been killed by Yang Man after catching her in an affair, but there was still a lingering doubt in his heart.

While Yi Xun still resented Yi Fan for his lack of filial piety, he also regretted that if he had known Yi Fan was this capable, he wouldn’t have strained their relationship so much.

…

“Young Master, you’ve returned!” Qi Heng said, looking at Qi Shaorong.

Qi Shaorong nodded and replied, “Yes.”

“How is Yi Fan?” Qi Heng asked.

Qi Shaorong nodded. “He’s doing alright. Afan has reached the seventh level, while Yi Xun is only at the sixth. The gap is too large. That old fool Yi Xun can no longer control him.”

“Yi Xun is not a threat, but we should be wary of the Yi family’s elders pressuring him to turn back,” Qi Heng said.

Qi Shaorong pursed his lips. “Yi Fan now has some self-protection ability. He should be fine.”

Qi Heng nodded. “That’s true. Young Master, the items you requested are all ready.”

Qi Shaorong nodded. “Let me take a look.”

Qi Shaorong opened the door to the laboratory and saw more than a hundred kinds of spirit flowers, with the most precious one being the Snow Yan Flower, which he had bought at the auction.

“Young Master, what do you need so many flowers for?” Qi Heng asked.

“Recently, expenses have been high, and the business at the cosmetic stores hasn’t been great. So, I’m thinking of developing a new product to boost consumption,” Qi Shaorong explained.

Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong. “Young Master, are you running out of money?”

Qi Shaorong shrugged. “Who would say no to more money? Besides, I still have a pig with an enormous appetite to feed.”

“Young Master, don’t forget, Mu Tingxuan said the mercenary group may have captured him to draw you out…” Qi Heng reminded.

Qi Shaorong nodded. “I know. But I also know that we’ve been exposed. Since they want to know, we might as well tell them. Some things can’t be hidden forever.”

“That’s true. But still, it’s a bit risky,” Qi Heng said.

“Everything has risks.”

“Young Master, what kind of new product are you planning to develop?” Qi Heng asked.

Qi Shaorong turned his eyes thoughtfully. “I’m still considering that.”

Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong. “Take your time, Young Master. No need to hurry.”

Qi Shaofu followed Shen Yuan as they walked through the Holy Emperor Academy.

“Shen Ge, I haven’t seen you hanging out with Zhuang Hao recently!” Qi Shaofu said.

Shen Yuan waved his hand dismissively, a weary expression on his face. “Don’t mention it, I’m actually avoiding him now.”

Qi Shaofu chuckled. “Is it really that bad? You two are supposed to be good brothers!”

“As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to eternal regret. Why did I even call off my engagement with Zhuang Hao?” Shen Yuan asked.

“I don’t know! You should ask yourself that!” Qi Shaofu shrugged.

“I’m asking you, Ah Fu! Why didn’t you stop me when I wanted to break off my engagement with your fourth brother? He’s your fourth brother!” Shen Yuan asked.

Qi Shaofu was silent. “How would I have known that Qi Shaorong was so ruthless back then!”

“Forget about my fourth brother. Honestly, I’m a little afraid of him now,” Qi Shaofu admitted.

“Oh, so you’re afraid of your fourth brother too! That’s great, I thought I was the only one afraid of him,” Shen Yuan said.

Qi Shaofu just nodded.

“I didn’t realize before, but now I know. Zhuang Hao is just a heartless guy. Now that he can’t catch up to your fourth brother, he’s starting to take it out on me. There are only two ways out of this: one, Zhuang Hao quickly catches up to your fourth brother, and once he does, the engagement issue is over. Or two, Zhuang Hao and your fourth brother break up. If they break up and their feelings fade, it’ll all be fine.”

“So what do you think? Should I hope Zhuang Hao catches up to your fourth brother, or hope they break up?” Shen Yuan asked.

Qi Shaofu scratched his head. “I don’t know. Let’s talk about something else. I heard Yi Chuxue was scared out of her wits.” Qi Shaoru heard about it and was so happy that she jumped up and down.

Shen Yuan nodded. “I heard about it.” In the capital, news spread like wildfire, and any small event could become a citywide gossip.

“They say the ‘Thousand Faces’ from Tianlan Academy is Yi Fan. All the incidents with the Yi family were orchestrated by him.” The world was changing so fast. Having one Qi Shaorong was already shocking enough, but now there was Yi Fan too.

Qi Shaofu nodded. “I’ve heard about it too. Yi Fan and my fourth brother seem to have known each other for a long time.”

“One practices both dark and light magic, and the other practices water and fire magic. It would be weird if they didn’t know each other,” Shen Yuan said before adding, “I really don’t know if I should say Mu Xuelan has great taste or if she has bad taste. If she has bad taste, she picked Yi Fan, who turned out to be a failure. If she has good taste, she divorced him anyway.”

Qi Shaofu laughed. “Who knows? By the way, Shen Ge, do you like Mu Xuelan?”

Shen Yuan shook his head. “No, no. She’s a big beauty with high standards. I’m not worthy.”

…

Yi Fan entered the campus and immediately noticed that many students were staring at him.

He ignored them and headed straight for the principal’s office.

When Hu Feng saw Yi Fan enter, he greeted him warmly. “Disciple, you’re here.”

Yi Fan nodded. “Yes.”

“Did you notice anything strange when you came in?” Hu Feng asked.

“Yes, it seems like many people are secretly discussing how I harmed my own kin,” Yi Fan said.

Hu Feng looked at Yi Fan. “Harming kin? That’s really nothing. After a while, when some noble family in the capital gets involved in a scandal, or when a rich girl elopes with a commoner, your issue will be overshadowed. It’ll be nothing.”

Yi Fan shrugged. “Don’t worry, Principal. I’ve been insulted plenty of times since I was young. The students gossiping about me is small potatoes. I don’t care about it.”

“That’s good. Here’s the book on fire magic I got for you. One of them is a Magic Saint’s notes, it’s very valuable.” Hu Feng said.

“Thank you, Master.” Yi Fan said.

Hu Feng looked Yi Fan up and down. Yi Fan raised his eyes. “Master, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Oh, nothing. You look much better now than when you were disguised as Thousand Faces. You look handsome now, not worse than Zhuang Hao.” Hu Feng said.

Yi Fan smiled. “Principal, you’re joking. How could I compare to Young Master Zhuang Hao?” In the capital, people judged others based on strength first, and appearance second. With strength, one became naturally handsome.

“Zhuang Hao is nothing special. Look at Shaorong, he doesn’t even care about him,” Hu Feng said.

Yi Fan was speechless.

“Disciple, don’t be sad about Mu Xuelan dumping you. She just didn’t recognize your worth. You’re so outstanding, there are many people who like you.” Hu Feng said.

Yi Fan looked at Hu Feng. “Principal, I’m not sad. I never liked her. I have someone else I like.”

Hu Feng was surprised. “You have someone you like? Are they pretty?”

“In my heart, they are the most beautiful.” Yi Fan said.

“Such a pity…”

“What’s a pity?” Yi Fan asked.

“I’m just sorry for the students in our academy! You don’t know, after your news spread, many people have a crush on you!” Hu Feng said.

“Principal, are you mistaken? I’m not a nice person. What could they like about me?” Yi Fan leaned back in the chair.

Hu Feng waved his hand. “Nowadays, the students have strange tastes. They don’t like those who are righteous and serious. They prefer people who are ruthless, who betray their family, who are two-faced and full of schemes. They think that’s cool! I really can’t understand what today’s young people are thinking!”

Yi Fan was speechless.

“Afan, do you have any news about Qi Shaorong?” Hu Feng asked.

Yi Fan glanced at Hu Feng. “He’s busy lately.”

“This kid doesn’t even know what he’s busy with,” Hu Feng grumbled.

Yi Fan took a deep breath. “Qi Shaorong has exceptional talent, but unfortunately, he’s distracted by too many things.” Many matters could only be handled by Qi Shaorong himself, and they couldn’t help.

“Disciple, are you planning to return to the Yi family?” Hu Feng asked.

Yi Fan shook his head. “No.”

Hu Feng looked at Yi Fan with a helpless expression. “You and Shaorong are both so stubborn!”

Yi Fan stayed in Hu Feng’s office for a while before leaving.

As soon as Yi Fan stepped out of the principal’s office, he felt several pairs of eyes watching him from the shadows. Most of them were gossiping students from the academy, but Yi Fan didn’t bother confronting them and simply walked away.
