1382 The Person Behind the Scenes Appears



Situ Miaoyi continued, "I shook off the spies from the agency and came here today. I didn't expect to see you here. It's great that you're okay."

To her, Chu Yunfan was fine, so everything else was not important. She had never told anyone that she had secretly cried a few times in the past few nights. She knew that she had fallen in love with Chu Yunfan, but she had buried it in her heart and did not show it.

To her, there had never been anyone as special as Chu Yunfan. Ever since he had saved her from that blind date, and at her birthday party, that unique congratulatory gift had helped her break through to the Divine Abilities Stage, and from then on, she could control her own destiny.

After that, Chu Yunfan rose like a comet, completely breaking her understanding that a person could be so outstanding.

"When the Imperial Court said that you were killed, I felt terrible for a long time…" Situ Miaoyi muttered to herself.

Chu Yunfan smiled bitterly. He wasn't a robot, so how could he not notice Situ Miaoyi's love for him? But now was not the time to think about it.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the Chus were rescued. If the entire Chu Clan was executed because of him, he would feel incomparably guilty.

Although he had nothing to do with the Chu clan, it was undeniable that the Chu clan had given him shelter when he was at his weakest. This was very important to Chu Yunfan, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Especially the matriarch, who treated him like her own child, made him respect her from the bottom of his heart. If they died because of him, then Chu Yunfan would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Now that they were saved, Chu Yunfan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, he was even more puzzled. Who was the force that saved the Chu clan?

The Imperial Court had made it clear that they wanted to uproot Marquis Zhongxin and execute his entire family. By taking action now, it was cleat that this force wanted to go against the Imperial Court.

After the second prince returned, to vent his anger, he took revenge on the Chu clan. At this time, saving the Chu clan would definitely cause the second prince to be furious, followed by a storm of revenge.

Who exactly had such guts?

Moreover, this was not something that could be done just by having the courage. One had to have enough strength to do it.

There were a few people in Great Wei who had the courage and strength to do this. However, he could not think of anyone who had the reason to attack. He felt that this matter was not that simple. It might even be directed at him. The Chu clan alone would not be worth the person behind the scenes to oppose the Imperial Court.

Suddenly, just as Chu Yunfan could not figure out who had attacked, a figure leaped over from not far away. In a moment, he had already arrived in front of Chu Yunfan.

"Are you Master CHu?" The figure's voice was trembling as if he couldn't believe that Chu Yunfan was still alive.

'Chu Yunfan is still alive. My lord had made the right bet!'

This was the only thought that echoed in that person's mind!

"That's right, it's me." Chu Yunfan nodded and looked at the figure. It was a thin middle-aged man who looked no different from an ordinary person. However, Chu Yunfan could tell that this seemingly ordinary person was actually a Divine.

Chu Yunfan's first reaction was that the mastermind had finally contacted him.

"It really is you, Master Chu. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. My lord has invited you to meet him. Master Chu, do you have the time to come over and talk?" the middle-aged man quickly said.

He carefully glanced at Chu Yunfan. He didn't dare to force Chu Yunfan. What a joke. This person in front of him was a super expert who didn't even care about the Core Council. All the Cores who died at Chu Yunfan's hands were famous, but they were killed by Chu Yunfan like dogs.

A small fry like him could be crushed to death with just one finger.

"Interesting. Lead the way," Chu Yunfan said calmly. Since he knew that the Chu clan had been rescued and that their lives were not in danger, Chu Yunfan was relieved. He was not as anxious as he was at the beginning.

Then, Chu Yunfan turned to Situ Miaoyi, who was a little dumbfounded, and said, "Miss Situ, you go on home first. After things settle down, I'll go over and reminisce about the past. However, I hope that you won't tell anyone that I'm back."

"I won't tell anyone!" Situ Miaoyi quickly said.

Chu Yunfan smiled and nodded, then left with the skinny middle-aged man.

"This is great!" Situ Miaoyi looked at Chu Yunfan's back and smiled. Then, she turned around and left the corner of the street. She skipped as she walked, like a little girl who had just eaten her favorite candy.

Chu Yunfan followed the man and left the street corner near the residence. They came to a lake in the city ten streets away. This lake was huge, but there was only one house by the lake, which was very special.

The entire house looked majestic, but it was low-key. There was no golden splendor or carved beams, but from afar, one could see that it was unusual.

"Who's your lord?" Chu Yunfan stepped on the surface of the lake and walked toward the house.

The skinny middle-aged man who was leading the way in front of him trembled slightly and said, "Master Chu, please allow me to keep you in suspense. We're almost there. When the time comes, my lord will introduce himself personally."

Chu Yunfan looked at him and didn't comment. However, he didn't say anything else. 

Soon, they arrived in front of the house. The man made a hand seal, and the barrier that enveloped the courtyard immediately dispersed and the door slowly opened with a heavy creak.

Chu Yunfan followed him inside. He wasn't afraid of any traps. Now that he was in Great Wei, he really wasn't afraid of any traps. There was no trap that could render him helpless.

In just a few short days, his strength had changed drastically compared to before.

They crossed the pavilions and came to a courtyard. In the courtyard, a figure was sitting there drinking tea. When he saw the man bringing Chu Yunfan in, his face immediately revealed a somewhat shocked expression.
