Ch. 17: Invitation For Lunch

"Grandpa! What are you doing?!"

Wei Ziqing shouted in worry.

Wei Fu turned to his granddaughter. "For years I have been stuck in a bottleneck without hope to breakthrough. But today, I have finally broken through. I'm now a Transcendent Grandmaster… no, I'm now a Dao Cultivator at the Early Houtian Realm, but my prowess is that of a Transcendent Grandmaster! Let me test my new capabilities, Ziqing."

Although Wei Ziqing was still reluctant, she backed off and then turned to Chen Fan. She was filled with uncertainty and needed something to depend on.

In her mind, she'd subconsciously thought Chen Fan was a dependable and infallible man after what he'd shown to them.

However, Chen Fan didn't even spare them a glance.

Wei Ziqing felt complex when Chen Fan didn't even spare a glance in her direction.

Objectively speaking, Wei Ziqing was aware of her beauty and sexy body. Many men were smitten by her charm, but they didn't dare to act brazenly because of her family's status and influence.

However, when she finally found a man that took her interest, he didn't even spare a glance in her direction. It really gave a heavy blow to her confidence as a woman!

'Just you wait! I will make you look at me!'

Wei Ziqing swore in her head like a girl ignored by her crush… which she was!

After calming down, Wei Ziqing kept glancing at him. She finally realized that his gaze was fixated on the villa on top of Yunwu Mountain.

She wondered if he liked that place…

The villa on top of Yunwu mountain belonged to her family. Her third uncle, the most troublesome son of her grandfather, gifted that villa for her grandfather.

After what Chen Fan had done for her grandfather, she could easily imagine her grandfather handing over the deed of the property with a big smile if Chen Fan demanded that property.

'Actually, I must tell Grandpa about this. Chen, um, master would be pleased if he got that place as a gift, I think?'

An idea came to her mind.

At this moment, Chen Fan fought the urge to smirk. He'd been waiting for this.

Now that Wei Ziqing had the idea to talk to Wei Fu about gifting the villa to him, he decided that he could stop looking at it.

It was boring. There was nothing interesting about looking at that place!

Oh, sure, that place looks good. However, he got bored quickly.

Back to Wei Fu, he frowned and urged his bodyguard. "Do it, Xiao Qi! Shoot me!"

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment. When he saw how serious his Old Master was, he decided to follow the order. He took out his gun and fired at Wei Fu.

The loud gunshot startled Wei Ziqing and made her turn to her grandfather with a pale face. But, she found that her grandfather was fine.

Moreover, she could see the smoking bullet pinched between his index and middle fingers. This made her speechless…

Back to Wei Fu, he stared at the bullet silently. He then moved his hand and threw the bullet at a tree. His movement was so fast that it looked like a blur in Wei Ziqing and Xiao Qi's eyes.

The bullet hit the trunk and created a small hole. Smoke came out from this hole.

Wei Ziqing and Xiao Qi gulped loudly. Although they had heard the capabilities of the Transcendent Grandmaster, they still had small doubts in their heart. But after seeing this, their doubts disappeared.

They were thoroughly convinced!

Firearms are supreme in the modern era, but these powerful weapons are unable to hurt the Transcendent Grandmaster or Cultivators at this level.

'Then, just how powerful is he?'

Wei Ziqing asked herself while glancing at Chen Fan.

Curiosity and a little hint of fear sprouted in her heart. She was curious and scared of Chen Fan's true capabilities. At the same time, she yearned to have such power.

Back to Wei Fu, again, he stared at his hand silently. He could sense potent energy coursing through the meridians in his body. This energy was far more potent than the internal energy he cultivated before. This energy was his refined Qi.

Such potent energy… He was fully convinced of the unfathomable strength of Dao Cultivators. What is the Internal Force used by Martial Artists compared to this power?

He finally turned to Chen Fan and kowtowed. "This Wei Fu is deeply indebted to Immortal Master Chen! This Wei Fu won't forget this favor and will repay it in the future! Just tell me what Immortal Master needs, and this Wei Fu shall meet Immortal Master's expectations!"

"No need to be polite, Elder Wei. Everything is in accordance with the scheme of Fate. It is only a small matter for me," Chen Fan responded after turning to him.

Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing sounded. Wei Fu and Ziqing turned to Xiao Qi, who shook his head hurriedly. Xiao Qi was the only person who carried a cellphone.

"Sorry. That's mine," Chen Fan told them. He then took out his phone and checked the caller ID. It read "Hongyu."

He accepted the call and heard Tang Hongyu's lovely voice. "Hello? Fan? How are you? In a good condition, I hope? I know moving to a new place can be stressful."

Although Chen Fan knew that this MILF was worrying him in the manner of a mother worrying over her son, he couldn't help imagining her worrying over him as a wife to her husband.

Was he slowly turning delusional?

"I'm fine. Don't worry," Chen Fan responded simply.

"Is that so? Did you have breakfast? Don't skip breakfast, okay? It's important! You can't skip it! Anyway, it's lunchtime soon. Do you want to eat in my house?"

His mouth open, Chen Fan was about to accept Tang Hongyu's invitation, but he decided against it at the last moment.

'Hmm, well, as tempting as it is, I will reject her invitation today. Ziqing already decided to talk to Wei Fu about presenting that villa as a gift. I will use her invitation in the future to counteroffer an invitation to check out the place after getting it. At the same time, I will commence my plan to capture her,' Chen Fan pondered for a moment before giving his response.

"Sorry, Auntie Tang. I'll pass up your kind offer today. Maybe tomorrow if you don't mind?" He pretended to be reluctant in rejecting Tang Hongyu's offer.

"Well, I won't force you. Tomorrow, then. Remember to take care of yourself, okay?" Tang Hongyu responded.

"I got it. You're really good to me, Auntie Tang," Chen Fan replied, flattering her.

"Oh, you… don't be too polite, Little Fan. You're my best friend's son. You're also like a son I never have," Tang Hongyu replied.

'I prefer it if you think of me as your man instead of your son,' he commented and made a wry smile in his mind.

"Anyway, I'm going to prepare lunch. Goodbye," Tang Hongyu finally ended the call.

Chen Fan put his cellphone back in his pocket and turned to the Wei Grandfather and Granddaughter pair. They were silently waiting for him to be done with his business.

However, he knew that Wei Fu overheard his conversation with Tang Hongyu over the phone. This old man never intended to eavesdrop, but his enhanced senses made him hear the conversation.

Chen Fan got up from his seat and spoke up, "Alright, I have healed Elder Wei's injury and helped him breakthrough. Lunchtime will come soon, so I need to go home and prepare it."

Wei Fu didn't let the opportunity pass and decided to invite Chen Fan.

"Actually, sir, would you like to have lunch in our house?"

Chen Fan was taken aback. He hadn't expected this.

He'd stopped reading Wei Fu's thoughts after discovering the plan to hand over the villa to him.

Whoever thought this offer would come early!

In the canon, Chen Bei Xuan finally visited Wei Fu's residence after the incident that almost got Jiang Churan hurt. However, he got the invitation a day after arriving at Chuzou City.

After short consideration, Chen Fan decided to accept the offer.

And so, Chen Fan, together with the Wei Grandfather and Granddaughter and their bodyguard, went to the Wei Family residence after covering his real appearance.

As an aside, Chen Fan had noticed Wei Ziqing's disappointment when he did it. She didn't seem to realize this, though.

In addition, he overheard the exchanged whispers of the grandfather and granddaughter pair. They were whispering about handing over the villa on top of the Yunwu mountain to him.

It wasn't that Chen Fan wanted to eavesdrop on it but his senses were sharp so that he overheard it.

Regardless, Chen Fan was happy that he would get the villa sooner.

After arriving at Wei Fu's residence, Xiao Qi went off to do some errands ordered by Wei Fu.

Right then, he was still working as Wei Fu's bodyguard and hadn't become Chen Fan's disciple officially yet.

If Xiao Qi had become Chen Fan's disciple, Wei Fu wouldn't dare to order the man.

Moreover, Chen Fan hadn't told Wei Fu about his invitation for Wei Ziqing and Xiao Qi. He let Wei Ziqing tell her grandfather about this matter by herself.

From what Chen Fan had accidentally overheard, Wei Fu had told Xiao Qi to prepare the change of the property's ownership of the Yunwu Villa.

After that, they went to the living room.
