Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Can I Borrow Your Boyfriend for a Day?

Chen Fan was dumbfounded.

He was a bit unsure whether this seemingly harmless girl genuinely didn’t understand or was pretending.

Shen Lingdie scrutinized Chen Fan, "Did I say something wrong?"

Chen Fan awkwardly laughed, "Well, no. Do you really want to know the specifics?"

Shen Lingdie nodded.

Chen Fan leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "It’s like..."

Shen Lingdie blushed after hearing this, but quickly regained her composure, "I understand now."

Chen Fan was extremely surprised inside, not having expected Su Qingyan’s close friend to be so composed. If it had been Su Qingyan, by now she would probably have thrown a pillow at his face.

Shen Lingdie stood up, walked over to the stairs, and tapped on the banister.

Soon, Su Qingyan appeared at the top of the stairs, arms crossed and with an icy expression.

Chen Fan immediately walked over, "Qingyan..."

Su Qingyan spoke sharply, "Stop right there!"

Chen Fan stopped in his tracks, his face a picture of helplessness.

Su Qingyan questioned, "No more searching for Auntie? Not looking for Miss Yang anymore?"

Chen Fan explained, "I swear to heaven, it was really just a coincidence."

Su Qingyan harrumped, "What is your relationship with that Miss Yang?"

Chen Fan answered firmly, "Just friends!"

"And Auntie?" Qingyan asked again.

"Also friends!" Chen Fan didn’t hesitate.

Only then did the anger on Su Qingyan’s face slightly diminish, "Come up."

Chen Fan quickly went upstairs.

Together, they came out onto the second-floor open terrace.

Su Qingyan looked out at the night view of the Golden Lake Community, the night wind blowing as she turned her back to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan took a step forward, "Qingyan, I heard from Third Brother that you’re going to the Capital?"

Su Qingyan turned around, her expression forlorn, and nodded at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan frowned, "Is there no way you can avoid going?"

Su Qingyan smiled bitterly, "No one can change my grandfather’s decision."

Chen Fan looked determined and turned to leave, "I’ll go to the Su Family to propose marriage right now. Surely, he can’t force you to go if you’re married, right?"

Su Qingyan quickly stopped him, "Don’t be foolish! Under these circumstances, my parents would never agree to let me marry you, and doing so would only make them resent you more."

Chen Fan clenched his fists, struggling to regain his composure.

He knew all too well, although he now had the name of a Celestial Master and had even defeated a Great Achievement in Internal Strength master, these accomplishments were still not enough to oppose the super families of the Capital.

His encounter with Liu Hualong today made him realize that, though Martial Arts might not compare to the Cultivation Sect, it was still a path that could lead to the utmost peak.

At the same level, Chen Fan was invincible, but there must be higher-level experts whose strength exceeded his.

The Mu Family, there was a very high chance that such experts existed there, and not just one.

He took a deep breath and asked Su Qingyan, "When are you leaving?"

Su Qingyan answered, "After my birthday, there’s one more month to go."

Chen Fan’s eyes lit up—a month was enough for him to do a lot.

He quickly asked, "If within this month, I become strong enough or demonstrate enough potential to make your grandfather take notice, would that be enough to keep you here?"

Su Qingyan looked conflicted as she gazed at Chen Fan, "I... don’t know."

She lowered her head, sighed, and then said, "But we can try."

Chen Fan’s face beamed with confidence, "Don’t worry, I will prove myself with actions this month!"

He secretly resolved that on Su Qingyan’s birthday, he would make everyone behold him with new eyes!

Su Qingyan revealed a radiant smile, nodded at Chen Fan, "It’s getting cold, let’s go inside."

They both returned to the living room on the first floor.

Shen Lingdie was sitting on the sofa sketching.

Su Qingyan walked over and sat next to Shen Lingdie, "What are you drawing?"

Shen Lingdie handed over the sketch in her hand, "Your beloved."

Su Qingyan looked down and saw that the drawing was unexpectedly of Chen Fan, her face turned red involuntarily, "You’re teasing me again."

Shen Lingdie turned her head to look at Chen Fan, "Am I wrong?"

Chen Fan smiled without saying a word and took a glance at the sketch.

The himself in the picture was eager, anxious, longing.

That was the state of mind he had when he desperately wanted to see Su Qingyan.

With just a few simple strokes, Shen Lingdie had managed to capture all these emotions.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but take another look at Shen Lingdie.

The girl’s mastery in painting might have already reached the Mastery Level.

"Huh?" Just at that moment, Chen Fan suddenly noticed that there were faint ripples of spiritual energy appearing on the sketch.

Although very weak, they were still captured by Chen Fan.

He immediately activated his Heavenly Eye and looked at Shen Lingdie, confirming after careful consideration that she was just an ordinary person.

"Why would her drawing emanate ripples of spiritual energy?"

Chen Fan was utterly puzzled.

He passed the sketch to Su Qingyan, "Do you feel anything different about this painting?"

Su Qingyan thought for a moment, "The moment I saw this painting, I felt the strong emotions of the person in it, and I’m sure that these emotions truly occurred to this person."

It must have been the spiritual energy in the painting that made one’s perception of it more direct, Chen Fan thought secretly.

But how could Shen Lingdie, an ordinary person, make her painting manifest spiritual energy?

Shen Lingdie took the sketch back.

She stared at Chen Fan for a moment, "Do you like Qingyan?"

Chen Fan didn’t try to hide it, "Yes!"

Shen Lingdie said, "You can’t like her."

Chen Fan frowned, "Why not?"

Shen Lingdie hugged Su Qingyan, "Because she is mine."

Having said that, she kissed Su Qingyan on the mouth and even blatantly savored Su Qingyan’s soft lips.

Chen Fan: "???"

Su Qingyan’s face turned bright red, and she quickly pushed Shen Lingdie away, "You’re at it again!"

Shen Lingdie giggled, "Sweet, delicious."

Chen Fan swallowed hard.

Feeling ashamed, Su Qingyan stood up and glanced awkwardly at Chen Fan, "Don’t mind her; she’s been obsessed with painting since she was young and has rarely communicated with the outside world, so her personality is a bit unusual."

Chen Fan realized in his heart, no wonder he always felt Miss Shen was too naive.

Just then, a phrase suddenly floated through his mind.

Close to the true way!

Could it be that because Shen Lingdie was obsessed with painting and had reached an extremely profound level that her paintings developed spirituality?

If that’s the case, could he, too, practice his state of mind through artistic creation, thereby accelerating the improvement of his own realm?

The moment this thought surfaced, Chen Fan became visibly excited.

If this method was indeed viable, his cultivation speed would definitely improve significantly.

Of course, he still needed to verify this with the memories of Jiuyou Immortal Emperor.

Just at that moment, Shen Lingdie suddenly asked, "Qingyan, may I borrow your boyfriend for a day?"

Chen Fan: "Hmm?"

Su Qingyan: "Hmm?"
