Chen Fan's bluntness nearly made Zhong Xue explode.
Damn it...
Holy cow!
How could this guy talk like that?
"Chen Fan, you..."
Zhong Xue wanted to say something but stopped herself. She couldn't help it.
She muttered to herself, this guy is just so thoughtless, there's no point getting angry with him!
No point at all!
Deep breath...
"Hmph!"
Zhong Xue crossed her arms, turned her head, and ignored Chen Fan.
Chen Fan didn't mind seeing this.
And so, they walked.
After a while, Zhong Xue stopped and said to Chen Fan irritably, "Can't you see I'm angry? Why aren't you comforting me!"
"Why?"
"Please give me a reasonable explanation!"
Chen Fan looked at Zhong Xue as if she had a problem. He said, "Why should I comfort you? And let's get one thing straight, you're chasing me, not the other way around!"
"You need to be clear about these things!"
Zhong Xue shivered upon hearing this. Chen Fan's words were so logical, so flawless.
Huff...
"You... consider yourself lucky!"
Zhong Xue was fuming and stomped her foot again.
Damn it!
This Chen Fan, honestly, he's more than just a scoundrel!
Thinking of this, she wished she could rush up and bite him hard, just to let him know how formidable she was!
Humph...
Chen Fan, of course, wasn't going to upset Zhong Xue for long. He casually mentioned, "I want to learn about Zhong Hai. Can you introduce it to me?"
Only then did Zhong Xue hear some normal words from Chen Fan. She sighed heavily, acting like a desperate beggar, and finally seemed to return to normal.
Zhong Xue asked, "What aspect are you focusing on?"
Chen Fan pondered for a moment, "The families in Zhong Hai!"
Zhong Xue thought for a while, then said, "I know the families you want to know about are definitely not ordinary families, at least not the ones you know about on the surface, right?"
Chen Fan nodded and replied, "Clever!"
Zhong Xue said, "I only know about the families on the surface. As for those mysterious families behind the scenes, I'll have to ask my grandfather. Do you have any thoughts on that?"
Chen Fan didn't think much and directly agreed, "Mm... let's go then!"
Zhong Xue looked as if she had misheard, "Really... really going?"
Chen Fan irritably retorted, "Why are you so surprised? Yes, really going!"
He was also trying to mend their relationship to understand Zhong Hai better.
Because this year's Grand Martial Competition of Thirty-Six Sects was being held in Zhong Hai.
With so many places to choose from, why Zhong Hai? Couldn't there be a hidden reason? Chen Fan felt the situation was not that simple.
Therefore, he had to find someone familiar to ask!
Half an hour later.
Zhong Family Residence.
"Grandpa, look who I brought back!" Zhong Xue's beautiful face beamed with a brilliant smile.
Zhong Shan, upon hearing this, didn't even look up. "Who is it!"
"Open your eyes and see!"
Hearing this, Zhong Shan nodded, looked up, and was overjoyed the moment he saw Chen Fan!
His aged face was filled with excitement.
"Chen... Chen Fan, it's you!"
Zhong Shan, in his excitement, put down his work and went to greet Chen Fan.
"Quick, quick, quick... please sit down!"
"Why didn't you inform me in advance? I could have prepared something!"
Chen Fan smiled faintly, "No need. I'm here to ask a few things, and I'll leave after I'm done!"
Zhong Shan nodded and patted his chest, "Just ask! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything!"
Chen Fan pondered for a while, then said, "I'd like to learn about some of the families in Zhong Hai!"
