Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Can I Stay Overnight?

Everyone in the villa was stunned.

It took a while for Cao Wei to react, and with some embarrassment, he pointed at a statue not far from Chen Fan and said, "Alliance Leader Zou, you have worshipped in the wrong direction, this is Master Chen’s statue."

Wang Jiarui also quickly said with a smile, "Yes, Alliance Leader Zou, but it’s normal for an elderly person like you to have poor eyesight."

Zou Zhengyan looked puzzled and said, "Master Chen himself is here, why would I worship a statue? And your statue doesn’t resemble Master Chen at all, you didn’t put any effort into it."

Then he bowed slightly to Chen Fan with a smile and said, "Master Chen, I really didn’t expect you to personally attend this social gathering. It seems I did the right thing by coming today."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhong Xinyao was the first to snap out of it and stared at Chen Fan in disbelief, saying, "Alliance Leader Zou, you... you are saying that he is Master Chen?"

Zou Zhengyan was puzzled, "Of course, isn’t Master Chen the one you invited?"

Wang Jiarui’s face was filled with disbelief as she said, "Alliance Leader Zou, please take another good look; you must be mistaken. This guy is just a loser, how could he possibly be Master Chen?"

Cao Wei also quickly said, "Yes, Alliance Leader Zou, how could someone of Master Chen’s majestic presence be this downcast fellow? You must be mistaken."

Zou Zhengyan snorted coldly, "I was there when Master Chen slew Lu Jiuxuan. How could I possibly mistake him!"

He turned his head towards Zhong Xinyao, "I initially thought you organized this social gathering to better understand Master Chen, and to promote his spirit of chivalry. Yet, here you all are, judging people by their appearances, pointing at Master Chen and calling him a loser. How can you have the nerve to call yourselves fans of Master Chen!"

It was then that everyone realized Zou Zhengyan was not joking.

Their faces filled with shocked disbelief as they stared at Chen Fan; they had been so excited about the Master Chen fan club meetup but didn’t even recognize Master Chen when he was right in their midst, and they had even talked down to him. They truly felt like dying of shame.

Zhong Xinyao stared at Chen Fan and asked, "Are... are you really Master Chen?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Indeed."

Wang Jiarui was still incredulous and demanded, "What evidence do you have that you are Master Chen!"

Chen Fan glanced at her, then the pressure of a late-stage Foundation Establishment master was unleashed, instantly enveloping the entire living room.

Feeling this pressure, everyone’s faces turned pale, their hair stood on end, and a sense of impending death crept into their hearts.

Wang Jiarui was so scared she plopped down onto the ground. She could feel that with just one look, Chen Fan could easily kill her.

After a brief display of intimidation, Chen Fan withdrew his pressure and looked at Wang Jiarui, asking, "Do you believe it now?"

Wang Jiarui’s face was filled with fear. Recalling her earlier words, she felt a deep surge of regret. Shaking, she got up from the ground and knelt in front of Chen Fan, "Master Chen, I’m sorry, I was blind and arrogant. I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

At this point, Cao Wei was also convinced that Chen Fan was Master Chen. His lips trembling, he approached Chen Fan and knelt down as well, begging for Chen Fan’s forgiveness.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Fan swept the two to the side and said coldly, "Your behavior disgusts me. Now get out immediately, and from now on, don’t go around saying you’re my fans. I find it embarrassing!"

Wang Jiarui and Cao Wei both had downcast expressions, but they didn’t dare to disobey Chen Fan’s order. They kept nodding, got up from the ground, and quickly fled.

Chen Fan then looked at the others, "If there is anyone else here like those two, just leave now. I don’t need you as my fans."

Everyone immediately began to criticize Wang Jiarui and Cao Wei to show that they were not the same as the two of them.

Zhong Xinyao watched Chen Fan with a complex expression, recalling the scenes where Chen Fan made jokes about Master Chen. It wasn’t until this moment that she realized Chen Fan didn’t look down on Master Chen but was merely being self-deprecating.

At the same time, she also felt she was too foolish. She claimed to be a fan of Master Chen, but when Master Chen came to her, not only did she fail to recognize him, but she also argued with him.

"He must have seen me as a joke before," Zhong Xinyao muttered to herself.

Chen Fan glanced at everyone and said, "Let’s continue the meetup, but I have to remind you, it’s fine if you like me, but I hope you don’t treat me as an idol. Let’s just be friends."

Everyone was thrilled, and they all praised Master Chen for his humble attitude and approachability. They wanted to make Master Chen their lifelong idol.

Chen Fan felt helpless. He couldn’t understand what his fans were thinking and decided not to dwell on it, joining in the conversation with them.

Zhong Xinyao originally intended to chat about topics related to Master Chen at the meetup. Now that Master Chen had personally arrived, everyone was incredibly excited, and Chen Fan was quite approachable. It didn’t take long for him to get along with everyone present.

After much feasting and merry-making, the meetup came to an end, and the fans left reluctantly.

It was then that Zhong Xinyao approached Chen Fan with a look of shame and said, "I’m sorry, I misunderstood you before. I didn’t expect you to be Master Chen. If I had known earlier..."

Chen Fan smiled and interrupted her, "It’s a trivial matter. Speaking of which, I should thank you for taking me home that day when I was drunk and passed out; otherwise, I would have had to sleep on the street."

"Actually, I came here today because there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with."

Zhong Xinyao immediately asked, "What do you need?"

She now felt a deep sense of guilt, and if she could help her idol, it would make her feel much better.

Chen Fan asked, "Is this mansion yours?"

Zhong Xinyao replied, "Sort of."

Chen Fan said, "Can I spend the night here?"

Zhong Xinyao was taken aback, then a blush crept onto her cheeks as she said, bashfully, "With... with me? Although it’s a bit sudden, you are my idol, and if you really want to, I... I wouldn’t mind."

Chen Fan knocked on her forehead, "What are you thinking about? There’s something beneath this mansion that I need to retrieve. I might make some noise doing so, so I hope you can give the security staff a heads-up, so they don’t come and interrupt me."

Zhong Xinyao was stunned, then her face suddenly turned as red as if it had been steamed, as she awkwardly wished she could just disappear into a crack in the ground, "I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I thought too much, I didn’t mean to..."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes, "You’re young, so it’s better to focus on the important things rather than always thinking about all sorts of unnecessary matters."

Zhong Xinyao took a deep breath to calm herself and then looked at Chen Fan earnestly, saying, "You can stay here, and I wouldn’t have any problems even giving you this mansion, but you need to meet someone first. He’s been waiting for you for a long time."
