Chapter 81

Three days later, at the entrance of Changqing Middle School.

Chen Fan leaned against a large tree across the street, watching the young boys and girls entering and leaving the school with a relaxed demeanor. It had been three months since he left for Qingyang Town to participate in the tournament, and he hadn't been to school since then.

Although it had only been three months, Chen Fan felt as if he had gone through a long period of time. For these students, three months might just be a few classes and a few exams, but for Chen Fan, he had advanced his cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and his magical power was now several times more powerful than before.

Moreover, he had obtained the Spirit-Path Grass, refined the Soul-Shaping Pill, transformed his spirit into divine consciousness, and even refined the Spirit-Gathering Pill and offensive magical tools. Finally, he obtained the essence of fire and cultivated the 'Divine Ability.'

Once he achieved the Divine Ability, Chen Fan felt the pressure on him suddenly减轻. After returning to Earth, he had been under constant immense pressure, a sense of urgent survival. He had once been the Northern Mystic Immortal, standing at the pinnacle of the universe, but now, after being reborn, he was as weak as a newborn, and even an ordinary person with a gun could threaten him.

So Chen Fan almost practiced every day. After learning about the Yin Crystal Stone, he left Jiangnan and went to Zhongzhou. Now that he had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage and his Divine Ability was complete, he could finally take a breath.

With the Fire-Golden Eyes, whether it was the Hongmen from overseas seeking revenge or various forces in reality, he had the confidence to face them all.

Just as he was thinking, Chen Fan suddenly straightened up and looked toward the school gate. Sure enough, a few girls walked out from inside the school, with a clear and proud girl at the center.

The girl suddenly saw Chen Fan and was slightly taken aback. She walked over and said, "Chen Fan?"

"When did you come back?"

The girl was Jiang Churan. After three months, her appearance and demeanor seemed even more mature, already showing a glimpse of her future self.

The few girls around her were all classmates, standing there and looking at Chen Fan with unfamiliar eyes.

"His name sounds familiar. Is he Ranran's friend?" a girl with a clear face asked curiously.

"Um, maybe a classmate," a girl with a scholarly aura said, pushing up her glasses.

"Ranran actually knows a male classmate? Li Yichen will probably be jealous," another small and cute girl covered her mouth and giggled.

Chen Fan had been away for too long. For a student, three months was enough time to forget most of their impressions of someone.

Three months ago, Chen Fan wasn't a major figure at Changqing Middle School, but he was still well-known, having defeated Si Yingxia at the taekwondo gym and later having the school beauty Xu Rongfei throw herself at him.

But after three months, everyone's topics and focus had shifted to other things. Chen Fan hadn't appeared for a long time, and except for a few people, who would still remember him?

As they were quietly discussing, Jiang Churan had already walked up to Chen Fan. She looked at him with a slightly unfamiliar gaze.

Three months ago, Jiang Churan and Chen Fan had only met a few times, and then they were suddenly apart for three months. During these three months, so many things had happened, and Chen Fan wasn't there for any of them.

'You've been away for too long. Some things have already changed.'

She sighed slightly in her heart and said, "Did you just come back? Does your mom know?"

Chen Fan seemed unchanged from three months ago, still calm as he replied, "I just arrived in Chuzhou today. I haven't notified her yet."

"I was just about to find you to go back and see Aunt Tang."

"You left without saying goodbye. My mom has mentioned you several times," Jiang Churan complained, then her expression turned a bit awkward, "Um, I might be a bit inconvenient... Why don't you go to our house by yourself first?"

"Oh? What's wrong?" Chen Fan was slightly puzzled.

At that moment, a black Audi with a government license plate stopped in front of them. The back door opened, and a familiar person stepped out.

Li Yichen!

Li Yichen saw Chen Fan and was slightly taken aback, then a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, it's Chen Fan? You're back from your exchange program?"

After saying that, he turned around and gentlemanly opened the car door for Jiang Churan.

"Ranran, let's go."

"The master chefs at Mist Island Coast have already started preparing. If we're late, we'll be wasting their time."

Hearing this, Jiang Churan's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Chen Fan. She hurriedly nodded to him and quickly got into the back seat of the Audi.

Li Yichen didn't even look at Chen Fan, smiling victoriously as he followed her into the car.

The black Audi drove away, leaving a trail of dust.

All of this was seen by Jiang Churan's classmates who had walked over. The clear-faced girl said enviously, "Mist Island Coast, it's the most luxurious Western restaurant in Chuzhou. It costs thousands or even tens of thousands to eat there once."

"They say all the chefs are from France. To have the master chef cook for you, Ranran must be so happy."

"Right, if my boyfriend treated me this well on a date, I would have married him long ago," the cute girl said in a dreamy tone.

"Dream on," the clear-faced girl rolled her eyes. "Li Yichen has been pursuing Ranran for so long, with all his sincerity. It took a while for Ranran to agree to be his girlfriend. Someone like you, a lollipop could probably lure you away."

As they spoke, they walked up to Chen Fan, and the clear-faced girl deliberately greeted him, "Are you Ranran's suitor? Don't bother, she's already taken."

With that, she laughed like a silver bell and walked away, playfully teasing each other.

Chen Fan was left standing under the tree, stunned.

'Jiang Churan and Li Yichen finally got together, just like in the previous life. They eventually became a couple and went to Zhonghai University together.'

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.

"The inertia of fate is truly powerful. If I hadn't interfered, everything would have happened just like in the previous life."

He wasn't sighing for Jiang Churan.

Jiang Churan was just a girl he had once liked in his previous life, but after five hundred years, that feeling had long since vanished from his heart.

What made him sigh was that if Jiang Churan's fate was the same as in the previous life, then what about Xu Rongfei, Xiao Qiong, Sister An, his mother, and Jinxiu Group? Would they also follow the inertia of fate and step by step reach the same end as in the previous life?

"It seems the hurricane I created with my butterfly effect isn't strong enough," Chen Fan smiled and turned to leave.

Although he had been reborn for four or five months, he had spent three of those months outside Chuzhou. When he was in Chuzhou, most of his time was spent practicing and studying, and he hadn't changed much.

Perhaps only the fates of Old Wei, Zhou Tianhao, Axiu, and Master Wu had been influenced by him, and his impact on others' futures was likely minimal.

Since Jiang Churan didn't have time, he could only go to see Aunt Tang by himself.

He had originally wanted to ask Jiang Churan for the key to the villa, but he decided against it.

Jiang Churan couldn't possibly carry the key with her all the time, and with his current cultivation, he didn't need a key to enter a villa.

As Chen Fan walked toward the Lakeview Community, he called Aunt Tang.

Aunt Tang was very surprised to receive his call. She then scolded him for not telling her about the exchange program and for leaving so hastily without even a phone. She was worried for a long time after he went to Qinggang Middle School and didn't even call back.

Chen Fan found it amusing.

At the time, he had asked Old Zheng Jiuling to take leave for him at Changqing Middle School, using the excuse that he was a short-term exchange student at Qinggang Middle School in the neighboring province. Qinggang Middle School was a famous place for the college entrance exam, producing dozens of students for Huqing and Yan universities each year. It was known for its military-style management, with students only allowed to return home two or three times a year and only allowed to contact the outside world once or twice a month on average.

Clearly, Aunt Tang believed this reason. If she hadn't covered for him, his mother would have already come back from Zhonghai and searched the world for her son.

After promising to go to Aunt Tang's house for dinner in a couple of days, Chen Fan returned to his original rental in the Lakeview Community.

He had just arrived at the entrance of the Lakeview Community and was about to open the door when he suddenly paused.

In Chen Fan's divine consciousness, there was someone inside the house, and it was someone he knew.

"What is she doing here?"

Chen Fan inserted the key and opened the door, only to see a girl lying on the sofa. The air conditioning was on, making the room very warm. The girl was wearing only a short hot pants and a tight tank top, exposing her snow-white thighs and delicate waist. She was watching TV and munching on potato chips happily.

"Ah!"

Seeing the door suddenly open, the girl screamed and scrambled to get up.

In her panic, she fell off the sofa with a thud. Fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor, but she still hit her forehead and it turned red.

"Ouch."

The girl held her forehead and cried out in pain.

Chen Fan looked at her helplessly and said, "Ziqi, what are you doing here?"

The girl, who was obviously the same Ziqi he had worked with at the Coco Bar, was also surprised to see Chen Fan. "Ah? It's Xiaofan?"

"Are you renting here? How do you have the key to my place?"

"You're renting here?"

Chen Fan felt a sense of absurdity. Wasn't this his rental?

How could everything have changed so much in just three months since he left Chuzhou?
