269: Chapter 265: Third Senior Brother Arrives 269: Chapter 265: Third Senior Brother Arrives After nearly two hours of work, Lin Yuehua finally finished applying a fresh medicated ointment and rebandaging Ye Fan with white gauze. She was quite exhausted from the task and had broken out in a delicate sweat. “Hehe, thank you,” Ye Fan said, smelling the faint fragrance that became clearer because of Lin Yuehua’s perspiration and expressing his gratitude. Lin Yuehua’s pretty face immediately turned frosty as she said coldly, “After this medication, you don’t need to change it again. Until this time tomorrow, you can wash off the ointment yourself.” “Alright,” Ye Fan responded. After pondering for a moment, she changed her tone and said, “These secret healing ointments are not easy to prepare. Once your injuries are healed, you should properly show your gratitude to my junior sister.” Ye Fan caught her implication, assuming that the costs for preparing these secret ointments must have been quite high. However, Lin Yuehua’s statement surprised him a bit, as it felt like she was taking his side. Of course, he didn’t dwell on it and immediately said earnestly, “Thank you for the reminder. It’s only natural to express my profound gratitude to Miss Mingshuang for saving my life. Additionally, I will also make sure to properly thank you.” “Hmph, I don’t need your thanks,” Lin Yuehua snorted. “If you respect me and don’t take liberties in the future, that will show you have a conscience.” After she finished speaking, she picked up the water basin and used gauze and walked out of the room. “This woman, cold on the outside but warm on the inside,” Ye Fan said with a soft smile as he watched Lin Yuehua close the door behind her. Around four in the afternoon, Bobo came rushing in. Seeing Ye Fan lying in bed, wrapped up like a mummy, she was so distressed that her eyes reddened. “Brother Ye, who did this to you? Tell me, I’ll definitely have someone kill that person!” Bobo said angrily, clenching her little fists. Ye Fan smiled faintly and said, “Bobo, thank you. But, I will avenge this myself. Your master told you about this, didn’t he?” “Yes,” Bobo replied and then added a little grudgingly, “Brother Ye, why didn’t you tell me sooner so I could have come to take care of you?” Ye Fan chuckled and said, “Well, I’m a bit incapacitated at the moment.” Then he noticed that Bobo’s skin seemed darker than before and couldn’t help but ask, “Eh, have you been traveling far away recently? You seem to have gotten a tan.” “Hehe, no. I’ve started school and have been attending military training,” Bobo giggled. Then she asked sadly, “Do I look really dark and ugly now?” Ye Fan shook his head with a smile. “No, you’re just a bit darker than before. But it’s actually good; you look healthier and more vibrant.” “Really?” Bobo immediately laughed happily upon hearing this. After Bobo’s arrival, Lin Yuehua no longer entered Ye Fan’s room. This left Ye Fan feeling somewhat regretful. After chatting with Bobo for a while, Ye Fan remembered that his car was still parked in front of the Old Red Star Shoe Factory. He asked Bobo to help drive his car back to the Gulan Martial Arts Hall, and Bobo was naturally very happy to oblige. Near six o’clock in the evening, Ye Fan’s third martial brother, Feng Shen, arrived from the Four-Nine City, dusty and travel-worn. Shen Biancheng was a tall man in his early forties, but his frame looked a bit gaunt. He had a square face, handsome features, and bright eyes that, when making direct eye contact, could cause one’s eyes to sting and head to swell. Upon seeing Shen Biancheng, Sister Xiao at the front desk was instantly startled and hurriedly invited him to wait in the rosewood armchair in the first-floor reception hall while she quickly went upstairs to inform the hall master, Gu Youlan. “What? You’re saying that when you met his gaze, you felt a pain in your eyes and a swelling in your head?” Gu Youlan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Sister Xiao nodded and said, “Yes. The feeling he gave me when looking into my eyes was exactly the same as the feeling I get from looking into yours.” “I never expected Ye Fan’s master to have such an impressive background,” Gu Youlan said. She and the Gu Mingshuang sitting next to her looked remarkably similar, both extremely beautiful with an air of orchids in a secluded valley, and their faces unmarked by the passage of time. At first glance, one might mistake them for a pair of sisters. Gu Mingshuang said, “Ye Fan is not weak, so the person who could train him must be a great master. It is not surprising if Ye Fan’s master is at the late stage of transforming energy.” Gu Youlan nodded slightly and said with pleasure, “In that case, Mingshuang, you have formed a great karmic connection last night.” Then she stood up and said, “I shall go and welcome Ye Fan’s master in person.” “Dong Xue, go and inform Yuehua immediately,” she turned slightly to address her aide. “Ask her to join us in welcoming Ye Fan’s master.” “Yes, Hall Master,” the aide replied and immediately turned to leave the living room to notify Lin Yuehua. After Xiao Dongxue left, Gu Youlan said to Gu Mingshuang seriously, “We need to form a connection with Ye Fan’s sect, as they may be able to help us in three years.” “I understand,” Gu Mingshuang nodded. Due to her haste, Xiao Dongxue barged directly into the training room where Lin Yuehua usually practiced and found that Lin Yuehua wasn’t training, but instead sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room in a trance. “Sister Yuehua,” Xiao Dongxue called out, somewhat surprised. Lin Yuehua snapped out of her daze, looked up, and asked, “Dong Xue, what’s the matter?” “The Hall Master has sent me to tell you to hurry and join her in welcoming Ye Fan’s master,” Xiao Dongxue said. Lin Yuehua was surprised and stood up, asking, “Ye Fan’s master has come? What has brought my master to such attention?” “It seems Ye Fan’s master is a late-stage transformation energy grandmaster of the ancient martial arts,” Xiao Dongxue said. “Ah!” Lin Yuehua exclaimed in surprise, “Alright, I’ll be right there.” With that, she quickly walked out of the training room. Soon after, Lin Yuehua met up with mother and daughter, Gu Youlan and Gu Mingshuang. “Master,” she greeted Gu Youlan respectfully. Gu Youlan nodded slightly and said, “Ye Fan’s master has arrived. Since you and Ye Fan are friends, join me in welcoming his master.” “Yes,” Lin Yuehua replied softly, stepping back to stand behind Gu Youlan. Next, Gu Youlan led Gu Mingshuang, Lin Yuehua, and Xiao Dongxue downstairs to greet “Ye Fan’s master.” As Gu Youlan reached the first-floor reception hall, Lin Yuehua’s gaze swept over the area where guests were seated, and she immediately spotted a dignified, powerful-looking middle-aged man standing up, looking in their direction. Lin Yuehua instantly noticed the brightness in the man’s eyes, as if emitting beams of silver light. Though he wasn’t looking directly at her, she felt a powerful intimidation that made her hesitant to meet his gaze. “Is that middle-aged man his master? He’s so powerful,” she thought to herself. While Lin Yuehua was contemplating, Gu Youlan was already standing face to face with Shen Biancheng. “It is my negligence for not greeting such an esteemed guest to our hall,” Gu Youlan said courteously to Shen Biancheng. Shen Biancheng responded, “Hall Master Gu is too kind. I am the one who has intruded uninvited. Thank you for your hall’s rescue of my junior fellow disciple, Ye Fan.”
