Chapter 47: Xu Rongfei’s Birthday Party

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the national holiday was over, and Chen Fan was back to school, he found that other than Jiang Tanqiu’s insistent questions about what had happened at the bar on that night, nothing else had changed at school. His cla.s.smates no longer looked down on him and neither did they admire him.

Si Yinxia was still studying like there was no tomorrow. Teachers were very impressed by his newfound enthusiasm, and they were convinced that if Si Yinxia kept at it, he could potentially be admitted into the best university in China.

One day, Xu Rongfei came over to look for Chen Fan. Chen Fan went out of the cla.s.sroom to meet her as a swell of murmurs rose around him.

“It’s my birthday next week. Can you make it?” Xu Rongfei asked as she batted her lashes at Chen Fan.

“Of course!” Chen Fan cracked a smile. “You are my sister, remember?”

He said, indulging the girl with his attention.

Although he would not date her, she could be his sister he always wanted.

Chen Fan had cultivated among the stars for over five hundred years. Other than his teacher Cangqin, he had no one to talk to and confide in. It wasn’t because he didn’t have anyone around him, but it was because of his unwavering dedication to his cultivation that had forbidden him to waste his time on sentiments.

“Am I just a sister?” The light went out from Xu Rongfei’s eyes for a split second before the smile returned to her face.

She turned around and sauntered off. After a few steps, she turned back and shouted, “Seven o’clock next Sat.u.r.day. Don’t forget about it!”

Chen Fan cracked a smile. After he made a mental note of the time, he put the matter to the side to focus on his real business.

Of late, he had spent all of his time on creating the Dharma Array. Third Lord Wei had brought him a piece of stone that was found at a few thousand miles down in the ocean, but its effect was mediocre. After all, it was just a rock, regardless of how many centuries it stayed underwater, it contained little to no water element in it.

“If this is the only material we get, the Spirit Channeling Array could only release less than ten percent of its intended effect.”

Chen Fan lamented.

However, even at ten percent, the huge amount of Spirit Qi meant that there would be more than enough Qi for him to use until he reached the Ethereal Enlightenment Level.

When Chen Fan walked back to the cla.s.sroom, he found himself the target of many jealous glares. From time to time, he even caught a glimpse of Si Yinxia’s chilling gaze.

Time flew by, and soon it was Sat.u.r.day.

When it was nightfall, Chen Fan found Xu Rongfei’s home based on the address she had given him. It was called the “Golden Kang Community Villa.”

The Golden Kang Community Villa was a mid-range residential development and a two-story house that would cost only two or three million yuan. It was more affordable and modest than the Yun Wu Mountain Villa. This was where most of Chu Zhou City’s middle-cla.s.s family lived.

“Welcome, welcome!”

The birthday girl stood at the entrance and welcomed him with a charming smile.

She was dressed up from head to toe tonight. She was in a white slim fit maxi dress that accentuated her tiny waist and elegant legs. She wore makeup but not too heavily, and her delicate earrings complemented her egg-shaped face. She wore her hair down with wavy curls. She looked nothing like a student, but an elegant and gorgeous white-collar city girl.

“Brother Chen, you are finally here!

“I was worried that you were going to bail on me.”

Xu Rongfei said as she gave Chen Fan a warm smile.

“I told you that you are my sister; what kind of brother would miss his sister’s birthday?”

Chen Fan cracked a smile and then handed a small gift box to Xu Rongfei.

“Happy birthday, this is your gift.”

Inside the box was an earring made out of jade. Chen Fan had cast a Dharma Array on it that was no less powerful than what he offered Third Lord Wei. Once the earring was close to its wearer, it would protect the wearer from all kinds of ailments.

“A gift? Thank you, Brother Chen Fan!” Xu Rongfei was elated. She accepted the gift box and started to unpack it. However, she was stopped by Jiang Churan with a cold face.

She reminded Jiang Churan that it was uncouth to unpack a gift in front of the guests.

“Get in here; don’t block the way.”

Jiang Churan’s face was hard as stone. She glared at Chen Fan with a great measure of rancor.

Chen Fan cracked a smile and let Jiang Churan’s insult slide off of his mind. He walked into the house and started to greet other school mates.

The house was already packed with guests, some of them were Xu Rongfei’s childhood friends, and some were friends she met at high school. Chen Fan saw many familiar faces: Li Yichen, Zhang Yumeng, Yang Chao, and even Han Yun.

“Master… Mr. Chen?” Han Yun’s eyes lit up as soon as she saw Chen Fan. She walked to Chen Fan with a gla.s.s of red wine.

She was the oldest member of the group and was already working for her grandfather. She was wearing a custom fit dress and heavy makeup. She looked like a rich princess straight out of one of those Korean Soap Operas.

“Miss Han.” Chen Fan nodded.

Han Yun’s lips curled into a smile. “Why so formal! Just call me Xiao Yun. I have heard the Old Man Zhen calling you brother, so technically, I am one generation younger than you.”

“I will call you Han Yun, and you can call me whatever you want.” Chen Fan shook his head and said.
