Chapter 105: Friends Of Past Life

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Fan sat quietly as he studied his friends.

“In my past life, Yan Xiaobai brought a girl home after graduating from university. Together, he and that girl took over his father’s business.

“Lin Weiwei was able to get into The Inst.i.tute of Aviation in Jinlin City. She always wanted to be a pilot; however, her training eventually led her to become an air stewardess. Later, she married a successful officer in the military.

“Xu Haoxuan was able to get into the Qinhua University. After graduation, he became an executive director of a foreign-investment company and married a rich-white-beautiful girl.

“Wu Jun Jie quit his university only a few years after he was admitted. After a decade of rough tumbles, he was able to strike it rich and eventually became a tyc.o.o.n that owned over a few hundred million in a.s.sets.

“Yu Wenjin on the other hand…”

Chen Fan regarded the girl’s alluring yet distant face as he fell deep into thought.

He sc.r.a.pped the memory of his past life, but he could not find any traces of Yu Wenjin. Any information about this girl ceased to exist after this new year gathering. He only vaguely recalled that she and her grandmother left the county in a hurry without leaving any contact information.

After taking a deep dive into memory lane, Chen Fan recalled that a few years later, Wu Junjie told Chen Fan his version of the story with tears in his eyes.

He revealed to Chen Fan that a few days before Yu Wenjin left the county, he had asked Yu Wenjin out, but he was rejected. To rub salt in the wound, Yu Wenjin left the boy with a cold remark. “We are not from the same world.”

“In my past life, I thought she was looking down on Wu Junjie. However, it seemed that I might be wrong, and she was telling the truth.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

He noticed that Yu Wenjin had the cast of a cultivator about her. Chen Fan wagered that she had not yet reached the entry-level or the so-called Dao-Reaching Level based on the categorization of spellcasters on earth, but neither was she very far from it.

“However, her energy seemed… strange. It’s not only ancient and primordial, but also uncanny and ghastly, yet it was different than the ghostly Yin Qi of Wu Shanhe. Her Yin Qi was much more imposing in nature and extremely powerful compared to that of other cultivars on earth.

“Her physical condition was very peculiar as well; a natural affinity with the Yin energy, no doubt. Such natural affinity was rare even among the immortal cultivators, much less the cultivators on earth. Such inborn affinity not only would help with her cultivation, but it will also unlock some Heretical Art for her. Nonetheless, the particular variant of the Yin Qi she possessed seemed only to strengthen her existing power but did not affect progressing through the levels of cultivation. Otherwise, she should have already reached the Dao-Reaching Level.”

Chen Fan thought to himself.

Yu Wenjin’s power and abilities were fully exposed to Chen Fan under his Immortal Will.

In the realm of cultivation, there were many arts that leveraged natural affinities such as the method of Tripod Cauldron, Human Elixirs, Grand Pills, Soul Honoring, and many more.

“I hope I am wrong.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

Suddenly, Wu Junjie patted his shoulder and said: “Join me for a smoke.”

“Sure thing.”

Chen Fan said quietly.

They left the VIP section and walked to the smoking area on the balcony.

Wu Junjie leaned against a rail and looked down at the crowd in the streets below him. He asked abruptly: “I lied, Xiao Fan. I lied to all of you.”

“About what?” Chen Fan asked calmly.

“I told you that I went to Jinlin City and met with the Young Lord Wei. That part is true.” Wu Jun Jie took a drag on the cigarette and said: “But I didn’t tell you that he had slapped me and told me that I am not worthy of being his friend.

“When I saw his slap coming for my face, I wanted to dodge, but I was so afraid… I… I couldn’t even stand up for myself.” Tears welled in Wu Jun Jie’s swollen eyes. “If I dodged or Fought back, even my father would be in trouble.

“Xiao Fan, you are the only person I could talk to. I can’t let them know.” Wu Jun Jie said under his breath.

“Haoxuan only cares about his studies. You know him, he doesn’t really want to hang out with us anyways, because we are a bunch of losers.

“Yanmo is only interested in girls. He is an idiot.

“Lin Weiwei is not much better, a typical blond, but as for Hottie Yu…”

Wu JunJie managed a wry smile and then shook his head. “She said we are from two different worlds. She is only interested in rich city boys.

“Therefore, you are the only person I could talk to.” Wu Jun Jie heaved a sigh.
