Chapter 765: How to Make a Decision

mself, she still put on a brave face. He just couldn't figure out what she was thinking.Ye Fan tapped her head lightly and said, "Little Se girl, what are you thinking about""Ah," Jiang Xue was startl...After a slight pause, Ye Benkong's face broke into a rare smile. When she looked at Ye Fan, her eyes no longer held that distant and cold feeling.

"Did Ye Wudao teach you to say this" Ye Benkong said faintly.

Ye Fan was taken aback. Why would he mention the old man out of the blue Could there be some connection between them But he had never heard the old man mention this figure named Ye Benkong!

"No, Grandpa only taught me tea ceremony. The rest was just me rambling." Ye Fan still didn't know why Ye Benkong called him over, so he could only cautiously reply.

It's best not to exaggerate.

"Oh. Ye Benkong made a cup of tea for Ye Fan, his movements were skillful and elegant, almost as if he was casually saying, "His tea ceremony is taught by me."

"Huh" Ye Fan widened his mouth, staring at Ye Benkong in disbelief. So, he wasn't the old man's disciple That meant he was his master's master!

Alas, I've messed up the hierarchy.

"And a part of my martial arts, he taught me that." Ye Benkong seemed to be reminiscing, yet speaking as if it were an unrelated matter.

Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded. What exactly was the relationship between these two people

"In fact, I only taught him a few days of tea ceremony, and he only taught me one martial arts move..."

Ye Fan listened quietly, he didn't answer. He knew Ye Benkong and the old man must have had a complicated past, one that the old man was unwilling to mention. Otherwise, he wouldn't have never brought it up in front of him.

He knew that Ye Benkong would speak up, perhaps this was also the reason he came to find him today.

"That's why after those few days, we turned on each other and broke apart. What good brothers are there when compared to a woman…"

Ye Fan felt depressed inside. So it was a love triangle But why did it sound so cliché This wasn't something out of Wuxin Tianong's novels.

For a woman, he challenged me to a duel. In the end, neither of us got that woman. Later, I even kicked him out of my house... Hahaha..." Ye Benkong laughed heartily at the end, but Ye Fan clearly saw the tears in his eyes.

Ye Fan thought to himself, what is the relationship between these two people Brothers Rivals And now The old man hadn't mentioned Ye Benkong in front of him before, which means he hated him. But what about Ye Benkong Could it be that he wanted to reconcile with the old man

I can't guess, there's not enough information.

After laughing, Ye Benkong suddenly said, "He... is okay"

"Grandpa is doing well, he's just getting older and often reminisces about the past." Ye Fan knew that the old man was gradually becoming more sentimental.

"He went back to Beijing the other day, didn't he" Ye Benkong suddenly changed the subject, leaving Ye Fan a little confused by his erratic thinking.

"Um..." Ye Fan wasn't quite sure how to answer.

"Ye Wuming secretly went to see him, didn't he" Ye Benkong seemed to be talking to himself, "He once swore that he would never set foot in Yanjing again in this life, and he broke his promise..."

Is that so How would I know Ye Fan was depressed and had no choice but to say nothing.

"Did he think he came here secretly Does he think I don't know that Ye Wuming went to see him Does he think he can fool everyone" Ye Benkong suddenly laughed, "Think that if I didn't come to see him, I wouldn't know anything He thinks too simply…"

The more Ye Fan listened, the more confused he became. "Old Master, I'm asking you to just give me a straight answer!"

"How long did he live at Lake Yuxin afterwards" Ye Benkong suddenly asked again.

"Um... three days." Ye Fan originally wanted to say, aren't you supposed to know everything But then he thought, wasn't this old man a bit senile He still decided to speak out of line.

"Three days..." Ye Ben repeated listlessly, gazing out the window. "Three days... He could do a lot in three days..."

“Ye… Elder Ye, can you tell me what happened to my grandfather back then” Ye Fan couldn’t quite believe it. In Ye Fan’s memory, the old man seemed to know everything, and his skills in every area were profound. He had taught him everything he knew, but there was little mention of his past, and the old man never spoke about it.

Ye Fan also wanted to know, but he had never asked the old man. He knew that although the old man seemed carefree on the outside, he was actually very sentimental inside. Perhaps someone or something from the past had deeply affected him, causing him to often reminisce under the moon in his old age. Ye Fan was curious about his glorious past and what kind of feelings it held.

"Didn't he tell you" Ye Benkong stared at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "No, he never mentions anything about himself to outsiders."

As Ye Fan said, the old man had gone to live at Yuxin Lake that day in Beijing. Ye Fan didn't even know he was going there until later. He just stayed in that two-story building for three days.

Over these three days, Ye Fan also knew what he had done inside. He didn't ask, all he could do was silently wait by his side.

"Hahaha… back then, he wouldn't even have the face to tell anyone… Hahaha…" Ye Benkong suddenly felt very excited, as if he urgently wanted to confide in someone. So he told Ye Fan everything…

Back then, Ye Wudao and Ye Benkong were as close as brothers. Although Ye Benkong came from a prominent family, Ye Wudao never treated him as an outsider. Ye Benkong was an upright person, and he got along very well with Ye Wudao, so they became bosom friends. Ye Benkong was gifted in poetry and arts, excelling in everything. Ye Wudao, on the other hand, possessed unparalleled skills. Therefore, they decided that Ye Benkong would teach him chess and tea ceremony, while Ye Wudao would teach Ye Benkong martial arts.

Unexpectedly, after only a month of teaching together, the two turned against each other. The reason was simple: a woman.

Ye Benkong and Miao Xiaohua knew each other first, he was deeply infatuated with her, but because he owed a debt without going through Tiannv, he never confessed his feelings to Miao Xiaohua. Naturally, Miao Xiaohua didn't know his intentions.

And Ye Wudao was just a young man at his prime, filled with ambition and pride. Besides, he was dashing and unrestrained, bold in love and hate. By chance, he met Miao Xiaohua and was struck by her beauty, vowing to marry her. He boldly confessed his love for Miao Xiaohua.

At that time, Miao Xiaohua was just a naive girl, her heart filled with spring blossoms. Naturally, she secretly admired this young master of the Ye family who had fallen out of favor in Beijing. After all, she was a young girl in bloom; who wouldn't love a hero

To Ye Benkong's surprise, his feelings were revealed. Enraged, he went to seek advice from Ye Wudao. Coincidentally, Miao Xiaohua was also present. Cornered, Ye Benkong confessed his love for Miao Xiaohua right there and then. Miao Xiaohua was caught off guard. She never expected that the elder brother she knew would have such feelings for her. Truth be told, she had known Ye Benkong before and had a good impression of him. At that moment, she was completely lost and unsure how to respond. again, but it was difficult to do so. He only felt a wave of dizziness coming over him constantly, and he had to reach out to hold onto the wall, or else he would probably collapse right there.He was...
