Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator

CHAPTER 19

After their brief meeting in the bar, Jiang Churan had never talked to Chen Fan again. Even when they passed each other at school, they simply nodded at each other without exchanging any words.

Despite the gradual increase of distance with Jiang Churan, Chen Fan had started to hit it off with Jiang Tanqiu. Although he wasn't too proud of having Chen Fan as his desk-mate, he at least was willing to converse with the new guy and sometimes even hang out with him. In the eyes of their classmates, Jiang Taniu was the closest person to being a friend to Chen Fan in the class.

One day, the class leader Chang Wen came up to the two and said: "The school basketball team will be training at noon. I want you two to help out with the water bottles."

Before the two boys had a chance to utter a word, Chang Wen had turned around and started off.

Jiang Tanqiu complained under his breath, "Whatever, she treats Si Yinxia like a god and treats us like dogs!"

He turned around and saw Chen Fan had kept his silence which Jiang Tanqiu took for acquiescence.

"You are too nice to her. One day you will regret it!"

Chen Fan pretended he didn't hear his friend's complaint and had remained silent.

After the two had lunch, they arrived at the basketball court. They found out that most seats were already taken by girls. They scanned the court expectantly while whispering to each other from time to time. The substitute players were the first to enter the court, but no one had paid any attention to them. However, once Si Yinxia showed up, the entire stadium was filled with cheers and screams.

"Why the hype?"

Even though Chen Fan knew that Si Yinxia was the girl's idol, he was taken aback by the girl's feverish enthusiasm.

"There goes the hotshot." Jiang Tanqiu sighed. "I have already seen more than four of his admirers who were at least as pretty as our class leader. But he is not interested in any one of them."

Chen Fan shook his head and then sighed.

He didn't sigh out of envy for Si Yinxia's popularity; In the past five hundred years, he had traveled many galaxies, and had his fair share of outright drop dead gorgeous goddess. These girls in their earthly bodies failed to live up to even a fraction of those goddess' sublime beauty.

What he was lamenting about was the sight of Yang Chao.

Surrounded by girls, it was evident that both Yang Chao and Si Yinxia were both popular studs among the girls.

"Do you see that tall one? He is Yang Chao, captain of the school team. He is quite a character, that one."

Jiang Tanqiu pointed to Yang Chao and said: "His dad is the CEO of Tiansheng Hotel. It was said that even the cheapest meal at the hotel would cost at least three thousand yuan. Someone had ticked him off once, and he ended up dropping out of school with a broken leg. And guess what happened to our Captain Yang? Nothing."

Jiang Tanqiu said with a mixture of envy and loathing in his voice:" When will I be like him? That would be awesome."

So saying, he shot Chen Fan a sidelong glance and then heaved a sigh of resignation: "Forget it, What am I thinking? Us and Yang Chao live in two different worlds."

Chen Fan smiled and didn't say anything.

Jiang Tanqiu's family was well-off, but it was a far cry compared to the Yang family's hundreds of millions of assets.

The training quickly turned into Si Yinxia's solo performance. Every time he had control of the ball, he easily zig-zagged his way through the opponent's defense and scored. Every time that happened, the gym was filled with girls' screams.
