Chapter 360: Chapter 360: You Think Too Highly of Him

Wang Jiarui immediately flew into a rage, turning her head to the boy beside her and cooing, "He told me to scram—you need to deal with him now!"

The boy, named Cao Wei, was a suitor of Wang Jiarui’s, and his expression cooled down upon seeing Chen Fan telling Wang Jiarui to scram.

"Do you have any manners? Telling people to scram at the drop of a hat, the likes of you lowly people only know how to get cheap thrills from running your mouth."

Chen Fan curled his lip, "She unreasonably asked me to clean her high heels and that’s being polite? I have to apologize even after I decline? You hypocritical beasts really think everyone has to listen to you?"

Cao Wei’s face filled with anger and he clenched his fists, "Who are you calling a hypocrite!"

Chen Fan said with a smile, "I even called you a beast, but you only picked up on ’hypocrite.’ It seems you really are a hypocrite."

Cao Wei immediately lost his composure and was about to rush at Chen Fan, "What are you worth to speak about me here!"

Just then, Zhong Xinyao appeared before everyone, seeing both parties with swords drawn, she frowned and quickly ran between the two, "What are you doing!"

When Wang Jiarui saw Zhong Xinyao coming over, she immediately put on a look full of grievance and said, "Xinyao, this guy claims he’s here for the social gathering, but we’re holding a fan meeting for Master Chen. What right does he have to participate? He’s so arrogant; I asked him for a small favor, and he wouldn’t help, he even wants to fight. Having someone like him at the fan meeting would be a disgrace to Master Chen, wouldn’t it?"

Zhong Xinyao glanced at her and said, "Master Chen’s fans are not distinguished by their status, all who like Master Chen can participate. Chen Fan was invited by me, and I see nothing improper about his attendance."

Then she looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Why did you want to fight?"

Chen Fan recounted what had just happened.

Wang Jiarui immediately said, "Don’t listen to his nonsense; he’s clearly lying. It was me who politely asked him for help, but he just told me to scram, and now he’s smearing me as some imperious person, it’s infuriating!"

Zhong Xinyao ignored her. She was inclined to believe Chen Fan’s words because she understood very well what kind of person Wang Jiarui really was.

Not wanting to waste time, she said, "Today is Master Chen’s fan meeting. I don’t want to witness any conflicts here. Let’s go inside."

Having said that, she opened the door to the villa and led everyone inside.

Wang Jiarui murmured in dissatisfaction, "She must be having an affair with that loser. Otherwise, she wouldn’t favor him like this."

Cao Wei’s expression shifted slightly, and he quickly covered Wang Jiarui’s mouth, "Be careful with your words. Have you forgotten who Zhong Xinyao is? If you anger her, you won’t get off easily!"

Although Wang Jiarui was not convinced, she dared not say any more.

Everyone entered the villa.

The living room was decorated with great care, with various snacks and drinks, and the center even had a banner reading "First Offline Fan Meeting for Master Chen."

On the table in the living room, there were many materials about Master Chen, including various news articles about Master Chen annihilating the Blood Blade Organization, subduing the Medicine Sect, killing Lu Jiuxuan, and defeating Tu Sheng.

Zhong Xinyao even had a statue specially made and placed in the living room. The statue was draped in a long robe, carrying a long sword on its back, and wearing a traditional hat, giving off the air of an ancient swordsman. However, the statue had no face because up until now, none of the fans had seen Master Chen’s true face; they could only go by what they had heard from others.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the statue, thinking to himself, ’Is this how they see me? This difference is a bit too much. I wonder if they will be disappointed when they find out I am Master Chen.’

Wang Jiarui was constantly thinking about making trouble for Chen Fan. Seeing him laugh at the statue, she immediately accused him, "Why are you mocking Master Chen’s statue!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not me."

Wang Jiarui, bristling with anger, "Bullshit, I clearly saw you making fun of this statue just now!"

Zhong Xinyao looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Do you think Master Chen doesn’t deserve this image?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "Well, he’s no hero; you think too highly of him."

Wang Jiarui acted as though she had caught Chen Fan in a misstep, shouting to Zhong Xinyao, "Xinyao, did you see that? This guy is actually belittling Master Chen so much, he has no right to join our social gathering!"

Cao Wei chimed in, "Exactly, Master Chen is valiant and has the heart of a hero. How could he not match this image? I think you’re just jealous of Master Chen’s greatness and are deliberately causing trouble here!"

This time, even Zhong Xinyao looked at Chen Fan with some disappointment, saying, "That day you stood up for Master Chen’s reputation and taught Lin Shuo a lesson. I thought you could see the shining qualities in Master Chen, but it seems I was wrong."

For a moment, Chen Fan truly didn’t know how to explain himself. "Uh... I’m just telling the truth. If you met him in person... you would know I’m telling the truth."

He always felt there was something awkward about this statement, after all, everyone present had met Master Chen in person and even regarded him as an unworthy nerd.

Cao Wei sneered, "You talk as if you’ve met Master Chen. Just by his deeds, we can judge what kind of person he is. Yet here you are saying he isn’t that great. You really are ordinary yet confident, aren’t you!"

Wang Jiarui said, "Xinyao, just throw him out already. He’s purely here to disgust us. How can we happily discuss Master Chen with him around?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhong Xinyao sighed, looked Chen Fan up and down, and said, "You’ve really disappointed me."

At that moment, her phone rang. She picked it up and answered it.

Soon after, she hung up and said to everyone, "Gang City’s Magic Alliance Hierarch Zou Zhengyan has arrived. I’ll go and bring him here; you all wait here for a moment."

Having said that, she turned around and left the villa.

Wang Jiarui watched Chen Fan with a cold smile and said, "Alliance Leader Zou has seen Master Chen with his own eyes. He’s just arrived, so let’s have him tell us whether Master Chen fits the image of a hero. When the time comes, we can humiliate him thoroughly before kicking him out!"

Cao Wei nodded in agreement, "Such an ignorant and despicable person really shouldn’t be at our social gathering."

After a while, Zhong Xinyao brought an elder with an air of immortality into the living room of the villa.

She introduced him to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Alliance Leader Zou Zhengyan!"

Everyone immediately welcomed him with applause.

Zou Zhengyan smiled and scanned the crowd. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze fell on Chen Fan and stuck there, unable to move away.

His expression gradually turned to shock, his eyes widening in disbelief. He then hurried forward and bowed deeply to Chen Fan, respectfully saying, "Master Chen!"
