Chapter 87: Spirit Mist

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

By the time Zhang Yumeng was ready to leave the Mansion, she felt she was running away from her biggest embarra.s.sment.

Chen Fan gave them a tour of the entire mansion on the mountain top. If this mansion was owned by anyone else other than Chen Fan, Zhang Yumeng would snap a shot every step she took and post them on social media as her bragging rights.

However, she didn’t feel that she had the rights to brag about anything, far from it. Her face flushed red as if someone had been slapping her face constantly.

Auntie Tang and Xu Rongfei were the only two who genuinely enjoyed the tour. Auntie Tang even wanted to stay in the house for a night; however, she was dragged away by her husband.

No one spoke a word as they descended the mountain.

The pride inside of Li Yichen was replaced with shame and regret. He bemoaned his failure of not recognizing the owner of the most luxurious house while he pretended to be well versed in the power dynamics of the city.

After a while, Zhang Yumeng finally broke the silence.

“Could it be that Wei Ziqin had rented the place to him temporarily? He knew Wei Ziqin very well after all.

“Perhaps Chen Fan was one of his personal bodyguards.”

As Zhang Yumeng went on, her explanations became increasingly inconceivable.

Except for her boyfriend Yang Chao, no one paid attention to her, much less agreed with her.

Who would rent out the entire mansion that was worth over a hundred million? Even if she did rent it to him, it only proved that the relations.h.i.+p between the two was truly special.

If Chen Fan married Wei Ziqin, his status would be more prestigious than anyone here. After all, he would have married a princess from one of the most powerful families of China, not just the daughter of a commoner.

The thought of the intimacy between Chen Fan and Wei Ziqin pleased Auntie Tang. She knew she had been right about Chen Fan’s exceptional quality.

So thinking, she gave Jiang Churan an accusatory glare.

Her daughter had kept the key with her for three months, but not once did she try to use it. If she had been smarter, there would not be so much misunderstanding tonight.

Meanwhile, Jiang Churan had no time to care about her mother’s glare. Of all the people present, she alone had to endure the complex and self-contradicting emotions rising inside of her.

Emotions such as doubt, hatred, despair, delight, and remorse clashed with each other in her heart.

She was surprised that Chen Fan was able to follow through with his promise and offered the mansion to her mother in three months. However, she was confused as to how he managed to achieve that. Could it be that he really was Master Chen?

Impossible!

As for the feeling of hatred, she hated Chen Fan for hiding his real ident.i.ty from her.

“If you had insisted on me checking the mansion, I would definitely do it. However, you didn’t even seem to care if I found it out or not when you handed over the key to me.”

So thinking, regret and remorse crept onto her face.

She glanced at Li Yichen surrept.i.tiously.

He was exceptionally promising in all aspects and had gained both her and her father’s approval. If he continued to woo her and impress her, it would only be a matter of time before they started officially dating each other. However, as fate would have it, Chen Fan’s turning up had thrown a wrench in gear.

“He always put on that hoity-toity face and seemed to think he is better than everyone else. Plus, what’s up with the ghosting for days on end? Let it be his appearance or family background; he simply couldn’t compare with Li Yichen. And now this?

“I thought I had forgotten about him after three months; however, as soon as he came back, I immediately lost the peace of mind.”

The girl’s mind raced as she struggled to internalize what had happened.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Churan was a reasonable and pragmatic person.

Reason made her choose Li Yichen in her last life, however, this time, a voice called out to her from deep down, telling her that she would regret it if she pa.s.sed up on Chen Fan again.

As for the rest of the crowd, no one was happier than Xu Rongfei. By then, she was convinced that her dad had told her the truth, that Chen Fan was not an ordinary person.

After everyone had left the mansion, Chen Fan started to cast the Spirit Channeling Array.

Before he dove into his work, he had dismissed Antie Liu and told her to take a vacation for a few months.

“Here are all the Yin Crystals I brought back from the Yin Dragon Pond.”

In front of Chen Fan was a large black suitcase. It was filled to the brim with black rocks. These ordinary looking rocks were surrounded by a white mist and were cold to the touch. Holding one was like holding a block of ice in the middle of winter.

“Yin Crystals are one of the most abundant forms of Spirit Stones. It not only can be used to cast Mist Array but can also be used as a subst.i.tute for water element stones. It is a perfect foundation material for the Spirit Channeling Array.”

Chen Fan thought to himself.

He then initiated the Misty Mountain Array he had previously created. Having experienced the same array in action in the Yin Dragon Pond, he noticed how weak the array was here in the mansion. In the valley, the Yin Qi was so abundant that they formed a mist naturally. If he was not worried about the harm Yin and Malic Qi could have done to his physical body, he wouldn’t leave the valley until he had reached the Ethereal Enlightenment Level.

“The Void Mortal Refinement Art claimed to be able to reshape any form of energy; however, that was far from the reality.”
