82 Fear Me! (2/2)

”Sure, I can go visit you guys.” Chen Fan said gently.

After the meal, the three bid farewell to each other and parted their ways.

In the afternoon, Chen Fan returned the Ivy League High School. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

After reporting to Miss. Xiao, Chen Fan arrived at his classroom.

The classroom didn't change at all, and neither did his classmates. Despite a few brief surprised glances, no one seemed to have taken notice of him.

Everyone, except for Jiang Tanqiu.

”Oh-Shit, Man, You are finally back! I thought you were dead!

”They told us that you were sent to Qingang Middle School as an exchange student. How was it?” Jiang Tanqiu asked as he squeezed his face. ”I have heard that school is hell! It's like a prison in there.”

”About right.” Chen Fan said despite the fact that he had never been to the high school.

It wasn't until the teacher came into the classroom did Chen Fan finally realize that the final exams were on their way. The first semester of his grade twelve was almost over.

Chen Fan also found out that Jiang Tanqiu had spent most of his time on his cellphone during breaks.

”Who are you talking to, new girlfriend?”

Chen Fan asked surprisingly.

”You bet! It's that girl you met at the Coco Bar. She finally agreed to see me.” Jiang Tanqiu said with a smug smile; she was his dream girl.

”Xiao Qian?” Chen Fan was shocked.

In Chen Fan's past life, Jiang Tanqiu had got himself into trouble because of her. In the end, Jiang Taniu was thrown behind the bar for seven years and ruined his otherwise promising life. Xiao Qian, on the other hand, had a new boyfriend as soon as Jiang Tanxiu went to jail. She didn't visit Jiang Tanqiu even once during the seven years of incarceration.

During their last encounter, it was obvious to Chen Fan that the girl was all over Brother Qi. He had never expected that she would eventually get together with Jiang Tanqiu.

”As fate would have it…”

Chen Fan lamented quietly in his mind.

He wondered if this meant that without his interference, Jiang Tanqiu would meet the same miserable end as he did during Chen Fan's last life.

He hurt people for Xiao Qian and was sent to jail because of it. However, he had to watch the girl he cared so much about betraying him and marry someone else. Even in his thirties, he would have achieved nothing in his life and waste his time with his equally deadbeat high school friend.

”Jiang Churan will take the same path and so will Jiang Churan. To alter the course of their lives was never my intention.

”Does that mean that I would end up meeting the same fate as well? In a few years, my life will crumble, and I will again leave this world to follow Cangqin?”

The thought amused Chen Fan; he chuckled.

”What's so funny?” Jiang Tanqiu looked up at him curiously.

”Ah, nothing. I am just laughing at myself for being so sentimental.” Chen Fan shook his head and then murmured, ”It must be my teenage hormones that are given me these false signals.”

He ignored the confused look on Jiang Tanqiu's face and continued: ”Fate is a bitch.”

”I, Chen Beixuan had traveled the Universe for over five hundred years, and every time my life was hanging on a thread, I was able to turn the situation around using my power and abilities. I was at the apex of any form of existence in the universe and was destined to lord over the world.

”The very concept of Cultivation was to fight against one's fate. The end goal of any cultivator was to reach the Tribulation and become an immortal that defies any law of physics that bind them to their fate.

”Fate is not final; it is dependent on choices.

”I could have killed Xiao Qian and Li Yichen, and if I do that, I would have altered their fate.”

Chen Fan pondered on as his eyes start to glint like sharp steel.

”Therefore, fate is not predetermined; it can be changed with enough power.”

”In this Universe, strength is the only currency. If I was powerful enough, I could have already finished the Tribulation Transcendence instead of being reborn into the mortal world.

”Xiao Qiu, do you know what is the most important thing in the world?” Chen Fan turned around and asked Jiang Tanqiu.

”What is it?” Jiang Tanqiu asked with a confused face.

”Power and nothing else matters.” Chen Fan said slowly but firmly.

”In the entire Universe, only power can make me strong, and only power can make me immortal.”
