Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 102 Can I Sit Next to Chen Fan?

Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Can I Sit Next to Chen Fan?

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this name.

Shocked expressions soon covered their faces.

"The Lu Family of Longhai, is it the same one renowned as one of the three great Martial Arts families?" Even Chu Yunkuo was extremely surprised this time.

By his side, Ding Ling nodded, "Exactly."

Then she turned her gaze toward Chen Fan, with admiration shining in her eyes.

That day, when Lu Qinghuan was rejected by Chen Fan in such a manner, the young miss of a Martial Arts noble house showed no discouragement at all, and even came to Su Qingyan’s birthday party.

One had to admire the charm of Chen Fan.

Chen Fan at the moment, however, slightly furrowed his brows, "Why has she come?"

"The Lu Family is far away in Jiangnan Province, why would she attend Qingyan’s birthday? Qingyan, is this Miss Lu your friend?" asked Old Mr. Su.

Su Qingyan shook her head, "No."

She looked at Chen Fan, "Did you invite her?"

Chen Fan said, "No."

Everyone was puzzled.

Ding Ling muttered to herself: "Although it wasn’t Chen Fan who invited her, this Lu Qinghuan definitely came for Chen Fan."

At this moment, Su Hao suddenly stood up, excitement flickering in his eyes, "Could it be that Miss Lu has come because of me?"

Old Mr. Su looked at him, "Oh? Are you friends with this Miss Lu?"

Su Hao said with a smile, "Not quite. But I have long heard of Miss Lu’s reputation. She is the goddess that all of us in Martial Arts yearn for, and there are rumors that she has been scouting young Martial Arts talents recently."

"And the only one who merits the term ’Martial Arts talent’ here, I’m afraid, would be me, right?"

The people of the Su Family came to a realization.

A smile appeared on Old Mr. Su’s face, "Looking at it this way, Su Hao has quite an influence, able to make the great families of Jiangnan Province take the initiative to come here, truly an honor for our Su Family!"

The people of the Su Family offered their praise in turn.

Su Hao immediately looked at Chen Fan with a self-satisfied expression, his head unconsciously lifted.

"What does it matter that you invited so many important figures from the Provincial City when Miss Lu alone can overpower all of them!"

Ding Ling couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, "The young master of the Su Family is quite narcissistic."

Chen Fan, faced with Su Hao’s challenging gaze, had a somewhat peculiar expression.

Su Qingyan asked, "What’s wrong?"

Chen Fan said, "It’s nothing, just a bit worried that your brother might feel embarrassed in a bit."

"Huh?" Qingyan looked puzzled.

At this time, Lu Qinghuan, accompanied by her uncle, walked into the courtyard.

Not daring to neglect, Old Mr. Su personally stood up to greet her, "Miss Lu has come from afar to our Su Family, it is an extreme honor for us."

"My grandson Su Hao is over there, go take a seat by his side."

Lu Qinghuan furrowed her delicate brows and politely said to Old Mr. Su, "Thank you for the kind offer, sir, but I do not know your grandson; may I sit next to Chen Fan instead?"

Su Qingyan, Shen Lingdie, Su Jinyun, Ding Ling, and Jian Wanrong all turned their heads and looked towards Lu Qinghuan simultaneously.

Lu Qinghuan felt slightly surprised inside, "Eh? Why are there so many hostile gazes?"

Su Hao, who had been ready to welcome Lu Qinghuan, had his smiling face freeze instantly, as if time and space had come to a standstill around him.

Many of the Su Family couldn’t help but laugh secretly.

At this moment, Su Hao rapidly dug a mansion underneath his feet with the speed of light.

Old Mr. Su also wore a surprised face, "Miss Lu, you... also came for Chen Fan?"

Lu Qinghuan nodded her head.

Su Hao, coming back to his senses, coughed twice to alleviate the embarrassment, then said, "Miss Lu, you come from a Martial Arts noble house, whereas Chen Fan is a Cultivator; logically, he isn’t worthy of your admiration."

Lu Qinghuan curiously looked at Su Hao, "Chen Fan is also a Cultivator?"

"Hmm?" Su Hao looked puzzled, "You’re not here just because of his reputation as the Celestial Master?"

Lu Qinghuan said, "No. Chen Fan defeated Li Yuancang, the big brother of Extreme Path Martial Hall, in a staggering Grandmaster-level battle in the Provincial City. It was because of that battle that I admired him and came."

"Haven’t you all heard about the great battle in Provincial City? After the Grandmaster Realm’s Li Yuancang was defeated, he took his own life. It caused quite a stir in the Martial Arts Circle of Jiangbei."

Fear showed in everyone’s eyes.

"A Grandmaster-level battle, and Chen Fan... is he a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

"I’ve heard of Li Yuancang’s reputation. It’s said that he just got promoted to Grandmaster not long ago. And... he died like that? Died at Chen Fan’s hands?"

...

Su Hao’s face turned pale, and his legs went weak. He staggered and sat down on a chair behind him, "Chen Fan... a Grandmaster... How can he... be so enviable!"

Old Mr. Su took a while to calm down but looked at Chen Fan with even more joy in his eyes.

However, considering Chen Fan was his own granddaughter’s husband, Miss Lu’s admiration for him couldn’t be a good thing.

So, he said, "Miss Lu, there are already people seated all around Chen Fan, perhaps you should find another table to sit at."

Lu Qinghuan glanced over towards Chen Fan and noticed several hostile stares fixed on her. She had no choice but to nod her head, "Alright then."

After Lu Qinghuan was seated.

Su Qingyan stared at Chen Fan, "Explain this to me, what’s going on!"

Shen Lingdie repeated, "Explain this to me, what’s going on!"

Su Qingyan immediately flicked Shen Lingdie’s forehead.

Shen Lingdie, holding her head, continued to glare at Chen Fan.

Su Jinyun couldn’t help laughing, then also looked at Chen Fan with an inquisitive gaze.

Ding Ling also looked towards Chen Fan.

Jiang Wanrong, who had just taken a seat at this table, looked his way too. She had to monitor Chen Fan for her daughter’s sake.

Chen Fan was overwhelmed, his face etched with innocence, "This... I’m not even acquainted with her, she came on her own initiative."

The women all looked angry, feeling that there was more to this matter than met the eye.

Yang Wanli, seated at another table, watched the scene, his face full of emotion, "Good thing Tianzhen didn’t come, or else today’s situation would have been even more chaotic."

He glanced at Su Qingyan, then at Shen Lingdie, and finally settled his eyes on Lu Qinghuan, "Maybe I should go back and persuade Tianzhen, tell her to give up on Chen Fan, sigh..."

Old Mr. Su was especially happy today.

He looked over all the guests present and announced that the birthday banquet was officially starting.

Everyone raised their glasses and made merry, offering birthday congratulations to Su Qingyan.

The Su Family members also took this opportunity to socialize with the influential figures Chen Fan had invited.

After all, chances like this were rare, and after tonight, finding such an opportunity would be difficult.

Before long, it was time for the giving of birthday presents.

Everyone presented the gifts they had prepared.

Su Hao handed over a dazzling sapphire to Su Qingyan, "This gem is called the Heart of the Ocean, the very one from that famous love story, ’Titanic.’ I went through great lengths to get it, and I think in this world, you are the only one who deserves it."

Although he was annoyed with Chen Fan during the day, he still doted on his sister dearly.

Su Qingyan’s face lit up with joy as she took the Heart of the Ocean, treasuring it, "Brother, thank you."

This Heart of the Ocean was arguably the most extravagant of all the presents of the day.

Everyone’s face showed envy, especially the few young ladies.

A doting smile appeared on Su Hao’s face.

Then, he suddenly looked towards Chen Fan, "This guy, despite indeed being a troublemaker, almost omnipotent, has risen to prominence too quickly to have any real capital. I reckon the gift he prepared for Qingyan won’t be up to much."

"He’s been the center of attention all day; surely it’s time for him to slip up?"

With this thought, Su Hao rolled his eyes and asked loudly, "Chen Fan, what gift have you prepared for Qingyan? You love her so much, so surely the gift you’ve prepared must be even more astonishing than my Heart of the Ocean, right?"
