Chapter 1056: The Most Beautiful Girl in the Jiang Nan Province
Jiang Feifei entered with Chen Fan; Lu Yang and Chu Yun then got up. They didn’t care about Chen Fan, who didn’t have any power, but Jiang Feifei came from the famous family in China, the “Jiang family,” and her sister would probably become a Golden Core Cultivator. So, even the senior members in their families would have to be nice to her.
“Chen Fan, this is Chu Yun from the Chu family in Jiang Bei. His grandpa, Chu Tianxiao, is a famous Divine Sea Cultivator there and the Vice President of the Jiang Bei Cultivators Association. His uncle is even someone with a high ranking in the army.
“This is Lu Yang, Zhao Mingkong, Xiao Xuan…”
Jiang Feifei introduced them one by one.
Chen Fan glanced around and found that he had met most of them on the mountain in Chu Zhou City. Lu Yang even looked at him with an evil smile, but Chen Fan ignored him.
He noticed that all of those outstanding young people in Chu Zhou City had some power in them and the most powerful one, Chu Yun, had reached the mid-stage Ethereal Enlightenment Level. The cultivation art he practiced was the “Cang Dragon Physique Refinement Art” Chen Fan had previously created. As for the others, they were also above the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Level. Jiang Feifei said that all of their families basically had one Divine Sea Cultivator.
Lu Yang came from the Lu family of the Jiang Nan Province. Rumor had it that they even had a Connate Cultivator in the family, so Lu Yang had quite the high standing among those people.
“Sister Feifei, you’re here. Come, just ignore those men.” Xiao Fan came up and dragged Jiang Feifei away, leaving Chen Fan in the group of men alone.
“Have you heard? The Ancestral Patriarch of the Huang family in Jin City has recently become a Connate Cultivator.
“Right, my grandpa told me that he’s planning to go to Jin City to buy a gift for the Ancestral Patriarch of the Huang family. He even wants to give him the inferior-grade Spirit Herb he bought with three hundred million yuan.
“Connate Cultivators are like dragons. The Huang family used to be a second-rate family, and now they’ve become first-rate.”
Those people chatted with one another.
They only nodded at Chen Fan and continued talking again, as if they had forgotten about him. Lu Yang also ignored him after glancing at him.
Chen Fan didn’t care about this, at all.
He sat down with a glass of red wine and looked around. After a decade, the technology on Earth had developed further. There were some small electronic appliances he couldn’t recognize, but they indeed made life easier.
A fat man wearing a fashionable, tailor-made suit approached Chen Fan and said with a smile, “Brother, do you mind if I sit here?
“My name’s Yan Junze. I heard you came here with the beauty of the Jiang family, Jiang Feifei. Is that correct?”
Yan Junze was friendly. He didn’t look like a domineering Young Master and he didn’t mind Chen Fan’s ordinary outfit. He just sat down, making the sofa shake.
“Jiang Feifei is a beauty?” Chen Fan found it hilarious.
Chen Fan sized Yan Junze up and understood why he was so nice.
On the 95th floor of the Tian Shen Building, cultivators were divided into two groups. Male cultivators were led by Chu Yun and Lu Yang, while female cultivators were led by Jiang Feifei. Apart from them, there were also many other Young Masters and Young Ladies of Chu Zhou City.
However, since they didn’t have a hint of cultivation energy, they couldn’t fit in at all. Yan Junze was someone who couldn’t cultivate. He went to talk to Chen Fan and apparently thought that Chen Fan was an “ordinary person” like him.
“Ah, you don’t know how lucky you are, brother. Jiang Churan is the most popular princess among the upper class in Chu Zhou City and even all of Jiang Bei. She came from the Jiang family and has become an Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator at such a young age. Her sister is even a famous Goddess. Do you know Goddess Jiang? Jiang Churan, who killed the dragon king in the East Sea. I heard that she’s going to become a Golden Core Cultivator soon…” Yan Junze widened his eyes and explained.
He only stopped after Chen Fan nodded constantly.
Then, Yan Junze confided, “Brother, you’re related to Jiang Feifei, so you don’t know how hard the life of ordinary people like us is. My family may be rich in Chu Zhou City, but it’s nothing. In the current world, people will never respect you if your family doesn’t have cultivators.
“At least one of the uncles, parents or grandpas of the Young Masters here is a Divine Sea Cultivator. The Lu family even has a Connate Ancestral Patriarch. If Master Lu wasn’t from the collateral branch, he wouldn’t be here with us,” Yan Junze said as he drank with sadness.
Before the world changed, pretty women and models fought over rich people like him, but then they all went after the cultivators. They wouldn’t lay eyes on people who didn’t cultivate, no matter how much money they had.
Chen Fan glanced around and found that many girls were looking at Chu Yun and Lu Yang.
“Brother Yan, you’re indeed miserable.”
“I know, right?”
Yan Junze was furious.
As he spoke, Chen Fan had a rough idea of the situation in China and on Earth. Countries were apparently developing the cultivation industry, so cultivators had a really high status in society.
A normal Foundation Establishment Cultivator was worth even more than a PHD or Master’s graduate. Some companies or corporations would offer Foundation Establishment Cultivators up to a few hundred thousand yuan monthly, but they might not even accept it.
Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators could earn even more, comparable to the Transcendent Grandmasters back then. It wasn’t difficult for them to make millions in a year and they were also superior. There were less than a hundred Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators in the entire Chu Zhou City, let alone Divine Sea Cultivators, who were usually Ancestral Patriarchs of a large family like Chu Yun’s grandpa. He was even the Vice President of the Jiang Bei Cultivators Association.
However, Connate Cultivators were very rare.
Even after the world changed, a province had just a few of them. They had already had cultivation foundations in the past, like the familiar name Chen Fan heard, “Tang Yuanqin.” He was the leader of the underground world of the Jiang Nan Province and was a peak-stage Connate Cultivator at the moment, a heavy hitter in the province.
As for Golden Core Cultivators, Yan Junze didn’t know much of them. They were the guardians of a country or a region and were considered valuable assets, so no one would show them to people easily. Chen Fan thought those who could reach the Golden Core Level should be the people he knew before leaving Earth.
“Ah, I don’t really hope to get into sacred grounds like the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena and the Sun Palace, not even Kunlun or the Dragon Tiger Mountain. I’ll be satisfied if I can be a normal disciple of the Tai Chi Sect, the Ba Ji Sect or the Lu family.”
Yan Junze sighed and looked at Chu Yun, who was surrounded by a group of pretty girls, with jealousy in his eyes.
After that.
Chu Yun and Lu Yang left Chen Fan out during dinner and games. Jiang Feifei wanted to ask Chen Fan to join them, but Xiao Xuan stopped her. In the end, an elegant woman in a Chinese dress said, “Feifei, you must have certain qualities to enter a social circle. He’s just a normal person. It doesn’t do him any good if you force him to join us.”
“Right, Sister Feifei. Even if he knows your Auntie, he’s not a relative after all. If you ask your brother to join us, I’d certainly agree,” Xiao Xuan also said.
Jiang Feifei finally heaved a sigh after Chen Fan rejected her a few times.
As Chu Yun said, cultivators and ordinary people had a huge difference. Chen Fan could never compare to her if he didn’t cultivate. The gap between them would only become larger. In the end, they would just be estranged from each other.
Even Jiang Feifei had given up. The others were also not close to Chen Fan and they only stayed around Chu Yun and Lu Yang. Some of them made occasional approaches, but they quickly nodded politely and left once they knew Chen Fan wasn’t a cultivator and had no powerful family background. In the end, Chen Fan drank and ate with Yan Junze, which made him look lonely.
“It’s all right, brother. I’m used to this kind of gathering,” Yan Junze said as he lowered his head, “Did you know? There’s a special guest coming today.”
“A special guest?” Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.
“That’s right. I heard that it’s a famous person in the Jiang Nan Province, and a super gorgeous lady. Many people call her the most beautiful girl in the Jiang Nan Province. However, her status is too high and she was invited by my Ancestral Patriarch. I don’t think she’ll be here with us,” Yan Junze said.
According to him—
That beauty had been famous in the Jiang Nan Province for at least a decade. Her father was a heavy hitter of the province and she herself was also a peak-stage Divine Sea Cultivator, half a step away from entering the Connate Level.
“Really?”
Chen Fan wasn’t quite interested.
He had seen too many beautiful women in his life, including Fairies in Heaven. So, not even the prettiest girl in the Jiang Nan Province would catch his attention.
But Chu Yun and Lu Yang were apparently different.
“I heard that she’ll be here today,” Zhao Mingkong said excitedly.
Jiang Feifei and the others also wondered.
That beauty was famous around the Jiang Nan Province even though she didn’t go out of Chu Zhou City.
“Sister Tang will be here soon. My uncle is with her,” Chu Yun said.
The others, including Lu Yang and Jiang Feifei, were stunned. “Even Uncle Minhui is coming? What’s so important that even a Major General like him has to show up?”
