emely high. Looking at the back of the pure gold handle, three lion head sculptures are inlaid, somewhat resembling the lions raised by Kunkka, perfectly integrated with the handle.The lion's head is...After a slight pause, Ye Benkong's face broke into a rare smile. When she looked at Yefan, her eyes no longer held that aloof and distant look.

"Was this taught to you by Ye Wudao" Ye Benkong said faintly.

Ye Fan was taken aback. Why did he suddenly mention the old man out of the blue Could there be some connection between him and the old man But he had never heard the old man mention this Ye Benkong!

"No, Grandpa only taught me the tea ceremony. The rest is just me rambling." Ye Fan still didn't know why Ye Benkong had called him here, so he could only carefully reply.

It's best not to exaggerate.

"Oh. Ye Benkong poured a cup of tea for Ye Fan, his technique was skilled and elegant, like he was casually saying, “His tea ceremony, I taught him.”

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

Oh, my goodness. I messed up the seniority.

"And a part of my martial arts, he taught me." Ye Benkong seemed to be reminiscing, yet also stating something unrelated to him.

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

"In fact, I only taught him a few tea ceremonies, 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 definitely had a murky past, and this past was something the old man didn't want to mention. Otherwise, he wouldn't have never brought it up in front of him.

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

Ye Benkong continued to mutter, "Because after those few days, we drew our swords against each other, and from then on, we were estranged. What good brothers there were, all couldn't stand up to a woman..."

Ye Fan's heart was filled with frustration. So it was a love triangle But why did it sound so cliché This wasn't a novel by Wu Xin Tian Wang.

“For a woman, he challenged me to a duel. In the end, neither of us managed to win her over. Later, I even drove him out of his own house... Hahahaha...” Yeban Kong laughed loudly at the end, but Ye Fan could clearly see tears welling up in his eyes.

Ye Fan thought to himself, what kind of relationship do these two people have Brothers Rivals And now The old man had never mentioned Ye Benkong in front of him before, which meant he hated him. As for Ye Benkong, did he want to reconcile with the old man

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

After laughing, Ye Benkong suddenly said, "He... he's fine"

"Grandpa is doing well, he's just an old man, and often reminisces about the past." Ye Fan knew that the old man had gradually become more sentimental.

"He went back to Yanjing recently, didn't he" Ye Benkong suddenly changed the subject, leaving Ye Fan struggling to keep up with his rapid train of thought.

"Um..." Ye Fan was a little unsure how to answer.

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

Is there such a thing How could I not know Ye Fan was depressed and had no choice but to say nothing.

"Did he think he was being discreet Does he really think I don't know he went to see Ye Wuming Does he think he can fool everyone" Ye Benkong suddenly laughed, "Think just because I didn't come see him that I don't know anything He thinks too simply..."

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

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

"Uh...three days." Ye Fan wanted to say, don't you know everything But then he thought, isn't this old man a little senile He thought about it and still spoke the words.

"Three days…" Ye Ben repeated, her voice muffled against the windowpane, "three days… enough time for him to do a lot of things…"

“Master Ye… Can you tell me what really happened to Grandfather back then” Ye Fan couldn’t believe it. In Ye Fan’s memory, the old man seemed to know everything, and he was proficient in every skill. He taught Ye Fan everything he knew, but there was very little about his past that Ye Fan knew, and the old man never mentioned it.

Ye Fan also wanted to know, but he had never asked the old man. He knew that although the old man looked carefree on the outside, he was actually very sentimental. Perhaps someone or something from the past left a deep mark on him, causing him to often reminisce under the moon in his old age. Ye Fan really wanted to know what kind of feelings were hidden behind his glorious past.

"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's residence in Yanjing that day was a surprise even to him. Ye Fan didn't even know he would go to the Yaxin Lake to live. He just stayed in that two-story building for three days.

During 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 must have been ashamed to tell anyone... Hahahaha…" Yeben Kong suddenly felt very excited, as if he desperately 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 distinguished family, Ye Wudao never treated him like an outsider. Ye Benkong was an upright person and got along very well with Ye Wudao, so they became sworn brothers. Ye Benkong was talented in poetry, calligraphy, and arts, while Ye Wudao possessed extraordinary skills that were unmatched by anyone else. Therefore, the two 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.

Yeben Kong and Miao Xiaohua knew each other first. He was deeply in love with her, but he had never confessed his feelings to Miao Xiaohua because he borrowed money without going through Tiannü. Naturally, Miao Xiaohua didn't know his intentions.

And Ye Wudao was just a young man at his prime, full of ambition and pride. Coupled with his dashing charm, unrestrained nature, daring love, and fearless hate, he happened to meet Miao Xiaohua and was immediately captivated by her beauty. He vowed to marry Miao Xiaohua and boldly confessed his love to her.

At that time, Miao Xiaohua was a naive young girl, her heart filled with the blossoms of spring. Naturally, she had secretly fallen for this talented young master from the Ye family who had returned from Beijing in defeat. After all, who wouldn't love a hero when they are young and blooming

Unexpectedly, Ye Benkong found out about this. Furious, he went to ask Ye Wudao for advice. Coincidentally, Miao Xiaohua was also present at the time. Under pressure, Ye Benkong confessed his feelings to Miao Xiaohua on the spot. Miao Xiaohua was caught off guard. She really didn't expect that Elder Brother Ye Benkong would have a special liking for her. To be honest, she knew Ye Benkong first and had a good impression of him. At this moment, she didn't know how to decide.why aren't you resting yet at this late hour You called your uncle, is there something—" Before Old Shen could finish, Hua Ye Shen coldly interrupted him, "When did I ever acknowledge you as my un...
