Chapter 255: Chapter 227 [Birthday Party, Pretending to be Strong Verbally]

Time flowed like water, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three days, besides taking the time to refine some elixir pills, Ye Fan devoted all his energy to cultivation, recovering the essence of power he had consumed while empowering Pan Jueming.

During Ye Fan’s cultivation, he utilized the Ghostly Gourd to activate the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array, making the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above Ao Xiang Villa a hundred times the normal level. Moreover, with the help of a crimson golden crown outside his consciousness, his cultivation speed increased by more than tenfold!

Even so, despite cultivating day and night for three days and nights, Ye Fan barely recovered one-tenth of his essence of power.

This forced Ye Fan to sigh at how fearsome the secret technique "empowerment" was—if it were any other martial artist, they might not be able to recover the lost essence of power even in a year.

However, for Ye Fan, it was all worth it.

On one hand, Pan Jueming needed to act as his frontline pawn against the Yanhuang Organization, and if he didn’t have the ability to protect himself, being easily killed would disrupt his plans. On the other hand, Pan Jueming’s loyalty was worth such a great cost.

While Ye Fan was cultivating tirelessly day and night, Pan Jueming was doing his best to familiarize himself with the Postnatal Perfection realm as Ye Fan had requested.

In Ye Fan’s words, Pan Jueming had been forcibly elevated to the Postnatal Perfection realm, and he was still very unfamiliar with this realm’s martial arts insights and combat methods.

To put it accurately, Pan Jueming possessed all the abilities of a Postnatal Perfect Martial Artist, but not the strength!

"Mr. Ye, let me take you to the Tan Palace Villa," Pan Jueming came to the villa where Ye Fan was staying, after spending a day familiarizing himself with the combat methods of the Postnatal Perfection realm, and inquired.

"No need, I’ll go by myself."

Ye Fan shook his head, declining Pan Jueming’s offer, then handed a handwritten copy of "Xingyi Fist" to Pan Jueming, "This is the intermediate martial art ’Xingyi Fist,’ has been passed down for a long time. Take it and practice well, strive to comprehend it thoroughly as soon as possible. This will help you familiarize yourself with the Postnatal Perfection realm, and it will also greatly benefit your combat prowess."

"Hmm."

Pan Jueming nodded emphatically, recalling Ye Fan’s saying ’actions are more important than words,’ he swallowed back the thanks that were on the tip of his tongue, and bowed deeply three times to Ye Fan.

All was understood without words.

When the last rays of the sun completely disappeared below the horizon, Ye Fan, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, white round-neck shirt, and black leather shoes, arrived outside the villa courtyard, and saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the door, a very rare Presidential level, worth tens of millions.

"Mr. Ye, Brother Pan asked me to take you to the Tan Palace Villa," a member of the Donghai Gang approached him. He was one of the Situ Family’s bodyguards when Situ Chen was present, and could somewhat be considered half a disciple of Fei Si. Having just advanced to the Postnatal Great Success Realm, nicknamed Xiao Hu, he was now Ye Fan’s chauffeur.

"Change the car."

Ye Fan frowned. He had learned from Su Jindi that those attending Sister Liuli’s birthday party were mostly students from Donghai University. Arriving in a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth tens of millions would completely clash with the atmosphere of the gathering and disrupt its mood.

"The villa has a Maybach, Bentley, Maserati, Mercedes S600, BMW 760, Land Rover Range Rover..." Although Xiao Hu did not understand why Ye Fan wanted to change cars, he dutifully informed Ye Fan of the options available in the villa.

"I remember there’s an Audi A6L, right?" Ye Fan interrupted Xiao Hu and asked.

"Yes, that’s what the bodyguards use." Xiao Hu nodded, his face full of surprise as if asking: Is Mr. Ye really going to use the Audi A6L?

"Just drive the Audi A6L then."

Ye Fan checked his wristwatch, confirming Xiao Hu’s guess, then added, "The gathering starts at seven thirty, try to get there before then."

"Understood!"

Xiao Hu bowed and accepted the order, drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom back into the garage, then had the bodyguards bring over the unremarkable Audi A6L.

By seven o’clock, the Tan Palace Villa, which Chu Ji had prepared for Ye Fan and Su Yuxin’s birthday party, had been set up with the scene, not only meticulously arranged inside the villa but also festively lit with colored lights all over the yard.

Most of those attending Sister Liuli’s birthday party from Donghai University had arrived, with the men in suits and the women largely in evening dresses and high heels. Even those not in evening dresses were well-dressed.

As Ye Fan had guessed, the majority of them were ordinary students; although they paid attention to their attire for the gathering, their clothes were not branded.

Since the party hadn’t started yet, most of the attending students were in the villa courtyard, specifically gathering around Su Jindi—after Su Jindi arrived at the villa, he ostentatiously displayed his martial skills, astonishing those students who were ignorant about the Martial Arts World, making each of them eager to become his disciples.

"Guys, it’s not that I don’t want to teach you, martial arts are a magical thing, not just anyone can practice them," in the crowd, Su Jindi held his head up, quite smug, "To put it simply, practicing martial arts requires talent! Talent, you understand? Just like studying, some are prodigies who barely need to study while someone like me, without the talent for studying, it’s futile no matter how hard I try."

"Giggle~"

"Haha..."

It must be said, Su Jindi, once known as the Demon Lord of Mayhem in Hanghu, had good social skills. Even though he was showing off, he managed to amuse the students around him and made them laugh.

However, there were exceptions.

On the outskirts of the crowd, there were five or six well-dressed, distinguished young men who weren’t revolving around Su Jindi. In fact, one of the late-arriving young men, seeing Su Jindi stealing the limelight, was somewhat annoyed and said, "Who is that guy? Why haven’t I seen him at school before?"

"You definitely haven’t seen him."

The young man dressed in Bulaioni gave a light smile and said, "His name is Su Jindi, he’s Su Liuli’s cousin and he’s currently studying at Zijin Shan Noble Middle School in Hangzhou."

"Brother Ling Feng, it looks like you’ve really put a lot of thought into pursuing Su Liuli, even digging up information about her cousin," said a previously displeased young master, now full of admiration.

"That’s nothing, Brother Ling Feng has really invested this time—he used all of his last year’s stock market earnings to buy an Aston Martin sports car, planning to give it to Su Liuli as a birthday gift," another young master close to Ouyang Ling Feng said.

"Hiss~"

On hearing this, the other young masters were all stunned by Ouyang Ling Feng’s grand gesture—the Aston Martin, priced at over forty million in Huaxia, such a splurge, not even a goddess could resist!

"Brother Ling Feng, is it worth spending so much?" asked a young master, feeling pity for Ouyang Ling Feng.

"As long as it helps me win over my beloved, what’s a bit of money?" Ouyang Ling Feng proudly lifted his head, his attitude seeming to trivialize money.

In fact, having returned from studying Economics as a PhD student at Dong hai University in September, the main reason he spent so much to pursue Su Liuli, besides her looks, figure, and demeanor, was that he learned through special channels that Su Liuli’s cousin Su Yuxin currently headed the Dong hai branch of the Tianshan Group, and rumors had it that Su Yuxin had close ties with the recently famous Dong hai Godfather from the Ye Family.

In his view, if he could win over Su Liuli, he could get close to Su Yuxin, which would allow his family’s business to collaborate with the financially formidable Tianshan Group, even cling to the Ye Family’s powerful influence.

By then, not just one Aston Martin, even ten or a hundred could be easily recouped!

Despite clearly showing off, Ouyang Ling Feng’s spending power had indeed impressed everyone, as they continuously raised their thumbs in praise.

Facing the admiration of his peers, Ouyang Ling Feng just smiled and walked directly into the crowd ahead, approaching the star-surrounded Su Jindi, "Jindi, I heard you were a member of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Super Car Club, and that you’re quite skilled. How about we hang out and drive when you’re free?"

"Who are you?"

Su Jindi, who had been enjoying his moment in the spotlight, was slightly annoyed by the interruption from Ouyang Ling Feng.

"My name is Ouyang Ling Feng, I go to the same school as your cousin Su Liuli."

Su Jindi’s response slightly embarrassed Ouyang Ling Feng, a legend of Dong University, but he didn’t show a hint of dissatisfaction; instead, he gave a forced smile with all the grace of a gentleman.

"I don’t know you."

Su Jindi looked disdainful, "As for street racing, man, what era are you living in? If anything, we should be into martial arts now; am I right, everyone?"

"Absolutely."

Many of the ordinary students at the scene, who were not fans of Ouyang Ling Feng’s usual arrogant demeanor at school, promptly agreed with Su Jindi.

Putting aside his fame as the successful financier’s son and his outstanding abilities, Ouyang Ling Feng had always been the center of attention wherever he went; he was unaccustomed to today’s disrespect from Su Jindi.

Even though Ouyang Ling Feng was astutely patient and thick-skinned, his face still shifted colors as he struggled to hold back his anger, managing a strained smile, "If Jindi isn’t interested, then never mind."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ouyang Ling Feng hurriedly left the crowd, looking visibly distressed, fearful of further embarrassment by Su Jindi.

On one hand, he approached Su Jindi hoping to curry favor and thereby win over Su Liuli. On the other hand, since his return to the country, he had been desperate to connect with Ye Fan, a name that resounded like thunder, dreaming of an introduction, even though he could find neither photographs nor information about him; therefore, he was attempting to get an introduction through Su Jindi!

Feeling downcast from plastering his warm face against Su Jindi’s cold demeanor, how could he not be distressed?

Meanwhile, as Ouyang Ling Feng felt depressed, the birthday girl Su Liuli, dressed in a rose-red evening gown and accompanied by Situ Ruoshui, stayed in a bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

In front of the window, the dolled-up Su Liuli wasn’t paying attention to every move in the villa’s courtyard, instead gazing toward the villa’s outside road.

"Sister Liuli, are you waiting for big brother?"

Seeing this, Situ Ruoshui couldn’t help asking. She knew that Su Yuxin was in Yanjing for business negotiations, and among those invited only Ye Fan had not yet arrived.

"Bah, I’m not waiting for him at all. He can come or not, whatever," Su Liuli declared proudly.

"Then why did you invite him?" asked Situ Ruoshui tentatively.

"If I didn’t invite him, Sister Yu Xin would have scolded me," Su Liuli cleverly found an excuse.

"Is that so..."

Situ Ruoshui took her at her word, then thought and added, "According to Su Jindi, big brother has been using his mind power and essence of power to boost his and Brother Pan’s strength, and he’s been training day and night for the past three days to recover. Maybe he really can’t make it."

"I’d actually be happy if he didn’t come,"

Su Liuli said indifferently, pursing her lips, yet her heart twinged unexpectedly: Could he really not come?
