Chapter 92: I Want to Speak with Young Master Ye Alone!
Inside the adjoining room, Yu Qiang stared respectfully at the antique box in front of him, his face filled with shock!
Yu Qiang had already examined this antique earlier. At the time, there hadn't been much of an ancient aura emanating from it, so it wasn't what he was looking for.
But when the antique box was brought back a second time, a mysterious pattern had somehow appeared on its surface.
That pattern was none other than the secret command insignia of the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion!
Back then, before the former Pavilion Master disappeared, the last order he had issued was for Yu Qiang to wait in Yuncheng for the appearance of the new Pavilion Master.
Yu Qiang had waited here for nearly twenty years!
And now, the Pavilion Master's command insignia had appeared once again.
Did this mean that the new Pavilion Master had finally appeared?
As the person in charge of the Tianji Pavilion's most powerful assassin division, Yu Qiang had remained completely unaffected despite the Pavilion's internal chaos over the years following the disappearance of the former Pavilion Master.
His assassin division had never fallen into disorder, nor had it pledged allegiance to any faction.
The only person Yu Qiang was loyal to was the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion!
Before the antique had been brought in for the first time, there hadn't been any pattern on the box.
Yet when it was brought in again, the mysterious pattern had appeared.
That meant the pattern must have been engraved onto the box moments ago.
The new Pavilion Master might be in the reception room outside!
After all, only the Pavilion Master himself could engrave this command insignia. It would never be passed on to anyone who wasn't the Pavilion Master.
Creak!
When the door opened from the outside, Secretary Zhang entered with Su Yixue, Wang Fugui, Ye Fan, and the others.
Yu Qiang immediately stood up and respectfully said, "President Su, I sincerely apologize for being neglectful in attending to you earlier!"
As he spoke, Yu Qiang's sharp gaze swept across Su Yixue and the others.
There was martial energy within Su Yixue that was above the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. However, the fluctuations were not particularly strong, as though she had only recently cultivated martial energy.
Clearly, she couldn't be the person destined to become the master of the Tianji Pavilion.
As for Wang Fugui, Yu Qiang knew him well. He was the eldest young master of the Wang family of Yuncheng, and his strength had already surpassed the Grandmaster realm.
That was already a very impressive achievement.
However, with Wang Fugui's talent and ability, he was obviously still lacking what was necessary to take control of the entire Tianji Pavilion.
That left only the young master of the Ye family—the infamous fool, Ye Fan.
Everyone knew that Ye Fan had displayed astonishing cultivation talent since the age of five. By the time he was fifteen, he had already broken through to the Grandmaster realm and was even close to reaching the Martial Venerable realm.
Back then, Ye Fan's monstrous talent had indeed attracted Yu Qiang's attention.
Because when he considered the timing, Ye Fan's rise coincided perfectly with the disappearance of the former Pavilion Master.
At the time, Yu Qiang had suspected that Ye Fan might have inherited the former Pavilion Master's legacy, which was why he had displayed such extraordinary talent.
However, just as Yu Qiang was preparing to investigate Ye Fan more deeply, Ye Fan was involved in a car accident.
He became mentally disabled, and all of his martial arts cultivation was lost.
As a result, Yu Qiang's investigation into Ye Fan was brought to an end.
But now, Ye Fan had appeared before him once again.
And with him had come the secret command of the Tianji Pavilion.
Yu Qiang couldn't help but suspect Ye Fan!
When Yu Qiang released his powerful perception toward Ye Fan, the first thing he sensed was a heavy, dense, and somewhat familiar martial aura.
It even gave him the feeling of being crushed beneath Mount Tai.
The Martial Emperor realm?
The Martial Emperor strength Ye Fan was displaying was at least above the third-grade Martial Emperor realm.
As for Yu Qiang, he had only broken through to the Martial Emperor realm recently.
Just as Yu Qiang was about to probe deeper, a powerful spiritual force suddenly erupted.
It violently forced Yu Qiang's body back by a step!
That spiritual force seemed to burn straight into the depths of his soul, causing his entire body to tremble violently.
Yu Qiang understood immediately.
This was Ye Fan's warning.
He had probed too deeply and crossed the line.
However, Yu Qiang was somewhat curious.
Since Ye Fan was the master of the Tianji Pavilion and was now clearly awake, why was he still pretending to be mentally disabled?
But since Ye Fan had chosen to arrange things this way, he naturally had his reasons.
"Old Master Yu, you're too polite!" Su Yixue looked at Yu Qiang gratefully. "I'm already extremely grateful that you were willing to give the Su Group this quota. I honestly don't even know how to express my gratitude!"
At the same time, Su Yixue was genuinely curious.
She had clearly handed the antique to Yu Qiang earlier, yet he had rejected it and returned it to her.
But after merely taking it back and handing it over again, Yu Qiang had completely changed his decision.
Why?
"President Su, there's no need to thank me!" Yu Qiang smiled. "Haven't you already given me what you were supposed to give me? Just as your husband said, the item inside the box isn't important. The box itself is more valuable than what's inside!"
As he spoke, Yu Qiang glanced at Ye Fan.
"President Su, if there's ever anything the Su Group needs my help with in the future, just ask."
"President Su, Young Master Wang, I would like to speak with Young Master Ye alone. Would that be alright?"
By now, Yu Qiang had basically confirmed that Ye Fan was the master of the Tianji Pavilion.
He only needed to confirm it one more time.
"This..." Su Yixue looked at Ye Fan with some concern.
Wang Fugui also looked vigilant.
"Old Master Yu, I'm afraid that's not appropriate."
Wang Fugui knew that Ye Fan was still pretending to be mentally disabled and had always been extremely careful about Ye Fan's safety.
Ye Fan knew that Yu Qiang had something he wanted to discuss with him privately.
And Ye Fan also had some things he needed to explain to Yu Qiang.
After all, the Tianji Pavilion was an enormous organization, and Ye Fan's understanding of it was still very limited.
Furthermore, if he wanted to completely take control of the Tianji Pavilion, relying on himself alone was obviously impossible.
He wanted to take revenge on the Ye family.
Although he already had the forces and organizations his mother had left behind, having the Tianji Pavilion on his side certainly couldn't hurt.
"Yixue, wife, it's fine. You guys can wait outside. I can protect myself!"
As Ye Fan spoke, he reached out and gently grabbed Su Yixue.
Su Yixue was somewhat puzzled, but she keenly sensed that Ye Fan seemed to be much better than before.
His memories and intelligence had already recovered considerably.
Perhaps allowing Ye Fan to interact more with other people would be beneficial to his recovery?
"Then, Fugui, let's go outside. Xiao Fan should be fine."
Su Yixue called out to Wang Fugui, then nodded at Ye Fan before quickly leaving the doorway.
Su Yixue didn't even know where this confidence in her heart came from.
She simply trusted Ye Fan.
She believed that he would definitely be able to handle everything properly and that he would definitely get better.
The moment Su Yixue and Wang Fugui left the room, Yu Qiang made his move!
Thirteen flying knives appeared in his hands.
Infused with powerful martial energy, they shot toward Ye Fan at tremendous speed from eight different, extremely tricky angles.
The sound of the knives tearing through the air seemed to rip the very void apart, producing a tremendous, mournful shriek.
The powerful fluctuations of martial energy clearly showed that the martial energy infused into the flying knives had already reached the Martial Emperor level.
And Yu Qiang had gone straight for a killing move!
Ye Fan knew that this was both a test and a potential death blow.
If he really was the master of the Tianji Pavilion, he should be able to catch these flying knives with ease.
But if he wasn't and was merely pretending to be the Pavilion Master, Yu Qiang would show absolutely no mercy and kill him on the spot.
The thirteen flying knives closed in on Ye Fan!
