Chapter 1 I Am Lin Fan

"Where am I..."

Lin Fan looked at the national highway with a stream of vehicles like a dragon and the towering skyscrapers in front of him, feeling a bit dazed for a moment.

He remembered that he had crossed over to another world due to a car accident at this very place.

After crossing over, he embarked on the path of [cultivation] in the world of [cultivation]. He fought for his life in that world, and with his own efforts and talent, he reached the [transcending tribulation] realm in just a few hundred years.

After successfully [transcending tribulation], he could transform from a mortal into an immortal, just like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.

However, at the critical moment of [transcending tribulation], because his cultivation level had advanced too rapidly, his foundation was unstable, and he was struck by the heavenly thunder, causing his soul to be scattered.

The moment Lin Fan's consciousness woke up, he was back here.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan subconsciously took out his phone and checked it.

"September 1st, 2017."

Everything had returned to the starting point.

"I really didn't expect that I would get a chance to start over again." Lin Fan was a bit excited in his heart and didn't feel depressed because all his cultivation had disappeared.

"In this life, I must take things step by step and return to the peak."

Lin Fan raised his head and looked around. The long-sealed memories resurfaced in his mind. Although several hundred years had passed, the scene before his eyes seemed as if it had just happened.

He casually hailed a taxi and got in, heading home.

The modern scenery flashed by outside the window, making Lin Fan feel a bit nostalgic for a moment.

The taxi finally stopped, and Lin Fan got out. What came into view was a tall school gate.

Xiuya University.

Lin Fan looked at this school gate and let out a slight sigh. At this time, he was only twenty years old and was in his sophomore year at this university.

And today was the first day of the new semester. The road in front of the school gate was filled with students registering.

Lin Fan took a few glances and then turned around and walked towards home.

His home was only a few hundred meters away from Xiuya University. It was a two-story small building with a small courtyard outside.

It was particularly difficult to own such a two-story small courtyard on the land of such a bustling street. However, this small building was specially bought here by Lin Fan's parents with their family savings for his study.

Lin Fan's parents had been doing some small businesses outside all year round. Therefore, Lin Fan had always been the only one living in this two-story small building.

Just as he walked in front of the building, he heard some rustling voices coming from the courtyard.

Lin Fan showed a bit of confusion on his face. At this moment, Aunt Chun from the neighboring courtyard came out in a hurry carrying a bag of garbage.

"Aunt Chun." Seeing this person, Lin Fan showed a little smile and called out.

"Xiao Fan, it's just in time that you're back. I have something to tell you." Aunt Chun put down the garbage bag in her hand and walked towards Lin Fan.

"Go ahead." Lin Fan said softly.

"Didn't you ask me to take care of your small courtyard? Today, when you weren't at home, a few people came in the afternoon. They took a fancy to your small courtyard at first sight and said they wanted to rent one floor. I saw that the price they offered was quite high, so I took the liberty to agree on your behalf." As she spoke, Aunt Chun handed a stack of RMB to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at the small courtyard and then understood what was going on. He looked down at the banknotes in his hand and felt even more nostalgic for a moment.

It had been many years since he had seen this kind of thing.

Lin Fan casually took out a few banknotes and handed them to Aunt Chun, saying, "Thank you."

"This... Xiao Fan, you're being too polite!" Aunt Chun quickly declined.

"It's only right." Lin Fan smiled slightly and casually put the money in his pocket. If it were his former self, he might have been happy about this money for a long time, but now, Lin Fan didn't value it much.

Looking at Lin Fan's retreating back, Aunt Chun showed a look of confusion. She muttered, "This child seems to be like a different person today."

As soon as Lin Fan walked into the courtyard, he saw a large group of housekeeping staff leaving with cleaning tools.

Lin Fan ignored them and walked directly into the house. He had always lived on the second floor before, and the entire first floor was usually rented out. However, since it was a connected building, if he wanted to go to the second floor, he had to pass through the first floor.

He had just walked a few steps. When he passed a corner, he bumped into a figure head-on. The other person obviously didn't react in time and directly crashed into Lin Fan.

Lin Fan quickly took a step back and looked at the other person.

It was a girl. She exuded a faint fragrance, had a devilishly hot figure, and was wearing a knee-length dress that showed off her perfect body proportions.

And her gaze also fell on Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan?" The girl looked at Lin Fan in surprise, and a trace of disdain appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Fan also recognized this person. It was Gu Yajing, his classmate.

Gu Yajing was definitely at the level of a school beauty in Xiuya University. There were so many people who pursued her on a daily basis that they could line up along a street.

Gu Yajing not only had excellent grades, but her father was also the chairman of a listed company.

In contrast, Lin Fan was worlds apart from her. He had bottom-of-the-class grades, an ordinary family background, and was also timid.

The two of them were simply not on the same level. Although they were classmates, they had only had no more than three conversations in total.

If the former Lin Fan had bumped into Gu Yajing like this, he would definitely have been in a panic.

After all, he had once had a crush on Gu Yajing. He had secretly looked at her during class and had even created countless opportunities to pass by her.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt a bit amused. At that time, he was just a twenty-year-old young man.

However, now, Lin Fan just took a look at Gu Yajing, then passed by her and walked directly upstairs.

"Wait a moment." Gu Yajing called out.

Lin Fan stopped and turned around to look at her.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Yajing had a cold expression and sized Lin Fan up and down.

At this moment, Lin Fan was wearing a pair of cheap flip-flops on his feet, a pair of blue baggy shorts on his lower body, and a T-shirt that was neither red nor green on his upper body. He was dressed in all bargain-basement clothes, looking like a complete poor guy.

"This is my home." Lin Fan looked down at his clothes, didn't care about them, and said indifferently.

"Your home?" Gu Yajing's face darkened, and her body obviously froze for a moment.

She had just called her best friend and said that this semester, she had gotten out of her parents' control and found a nice small courtyard near the school.

If her best friends, who went out in luxury cars, wore GUCCI, carried LV handbags, and wore Chanel shoes, knew that she was living with such a person, they would surely laugh at her to death!

Thinking of this, a trace of disgust flashed in Gu Yajing's eyes.

She regretted it a bit, regretting why she had rented here.

However, it was the start of the school term now, and it wasn't easy to find a satisfactory house to live in around the school. So even if she wanted to change houses, she couldn't do so as she wished.

Unless she moved back home, but she didn't want to do that.

"If you need any help in the future, just say it directly." Lin Fan hesitated for a moment and said indifferently.

Having experienced life and death twice, he had become more indifferent to many things. He also cherished everything in front of him quite a bit. Although he saw Gu Yajing's little thoughts, he didn't care too much about them.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Gu Yajing couldn't help but be stunned.

In her perception, Lin Fan wasn't like this.
