#628 - Are the rumors true?
Chen Fan didn't expect to be recognized.
He felt that what Li Shan said made a lot of sense.
Yes, according to his words, if Chen Fan lost, lost so unjustly and inexplicably, he would definitely be upset and curious, and would definitely want to come to the Haotian Sect to investigate.
However, if Li Shan could think of these things, did it mean that many other people could also think of them?
Li Shan continued, "Actually, the reason I can think of these things is because I am better at observing and thinking. Although my talent and cultivation are far behind you, if I didn't have these skills over the years, I'm afraid I would have died in the Imperial Palace long ago. How could I have made it to this Haotian Sect?"
Chen Fan said, "You are indeed not as simple as I thought."
"Thank you for the compliment," Li Shan said with a smile.
"Then how did you guess that I am Chen Fan? Why didn't you guess it was someone else?"
Li Shan said, "Actually, it's easy to guess, right? The more powerful people are just a few. I either know the others, or I'm sure who they are and know their background. Among the elder disciples, only you and I don't know each other's background. And I think if you want to investigate this kind of thing, it's best to have some status. Without status, like in the outer or inner sect, it's difficult to even go out, let alone go to other places to investigate. It must be the status of an elder disciple to make things easier."
Chen Fan frowned.
He really underestimated him.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
A person living in that kind of environment, no, it should be called survival, must have unique qualities.
And for a servant like him, he had to be cautious everywhere. Saying the wrong word could lead to death.
Other things might not matter, but his ability to observe people's expressions was indeed very strong.
Chen Fan asked, "So, what do you want to say by looking for me?"
Li Shan said, "What to say is important, but I don't want to hide it. You should be aware of my situation. I want to become stronger. I don't want to be a prisoner every day. Perhaps I can help you, and your help to me will definitely be greater than the sect's."
"That depends on what you can help me with," Chen Fan said.
Li Shan said, "I recently got some news."
"Speak."
Li Shan said, "Actually, I sincerely feel that you can definitely win against Fang Qinchu. I really feel it's unfair to you because of their methods."
"Speak."
Li Shan said, "The news I got, you might not believe it, or you might be angry, but I hope you can listen to it."
Afterwards, Li Shan told Chen Fan the news he had obtained.
As expected, after Chen Fan heard it, his anger was evident.
"Young Master Chen, calm down. Maybe it's just a rumor. I'm just telling you this so you know, it doesn't mean it's true."
Chen Fan clenched his fist secretly.
"I know, thank you," Chen Fan said.
Li Shan also nodded slightly.
Then Chen Fan said, "I will investigate this matter. If it is true, I will thank you. I, Chen Fan, will do what I say. I also hope you can keep the secret."
"That's natural."
"If there is any more news, please inform me at any time."
Li Shan nodded, and then said, "There is one more thing. Actually, I personally think these rumors are quite true. Of course, maybe only some of them are true, such as the Fourteenth Elder. I always feel that his appearance in the Haotian Sect is a bit of a coincidence."
"You don't need to worry about these things."
Chen Fan finished speaking and walked away.
Li Shan stood in place.
"If I can really get Chen Fan's help, I might really soar to the sky."
Although Chen Fan was a junior like him.
But Chen Fan was a person with great luck. He had experienced many years in the Eight Desolations, and he had experienced too many opportunities that he couldn't imagine.
The good things on Chen Fan's body might also be unimaginable.
The Haotian Sect might also have these good things, but they would definitely not fall into Li Shan's hands.
If Chen Fan thanked him, Li Shan, and gave him things like heaven and earth spiritual objects, it might really change him.
… …
"Xu Fengqiu! Xu Fengqiu!!"
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
From the very beginning, he felt that Xu Fengqiu's appearance was not a coincidence.
Meeting in the carriage for the first time might have been a coincidence.
But meeting in the Haotian Sect felt very strange.
As expected.
He couldn't be separated from it.
What was the most important thing?
Although Chen Fan didn't want to admit it, he still had to admit that Xu Fengqiu, just by looking at him, whether it was his appearance or his temperament, was indeed very outstanding.
He was indeed very easy to attract the hearts of girls.
"Could it be that he appeared in the Haotian Sect just to make me lose? I don't have any grievances with him!"
Chen Fan frowned.
He thought for a long time, and he was sure that he had never met Xu Fengqiu before.
Thinking carefully, it was indeed impossible for him to come to the Haotian Sect specifically for him, Chen Fan.
Then it could only be said…
Everything was indeed a coincidence.
He, Chen Fan, became a stepping stone for Xu Fengqiu to become an elder of the Haotian Sect, or rather, a trophy!
Thinking carefully, Fang Wenjian of the Haotian Sect definitely didn't want Fang Qinchu to lose.
It was absolutely reasonable for him to use some means to make Fang Qinchu win against him, Chen Fan.
And Xu Fengqiu couldn't possibly know his, Chen Fan's, trump cards and methods.
Only Chen Ling'er knew.
So…
This rumor, from beginning to end, could actually be explained completely.
But…
Chen Fan still found it difficult to accept.
His childhood sweetheart became Xu Fengqiu's confidante?
Even helping Xu Fengqiu enter the Haotian Sect and betraying him, Chen Fan?
He really found it difficult to accept.
He would rather accept that Chen Ling'er had changed her mind and had no feelings for him, Chen Fan. That would be fine.
But changing her mind and betraying him, Chen Fan, was really too difficult to accept.
If he wanted to investigate this matter, perhaps…
He could only face Xu Fengqiu.
He also had to figure out all of this.
But, how should he, Chen Fan, play against Xu Fengqiu?
Use his real identity?
But…
Would his real identity necessarily bring the truth?
Use Fan Chen's identity?
With Fan Chen's identity, he wouldn't tell the truth either.
He was very anxious!
He had to go!
… …
On the other side.
Xu Fengqiu sat in the courtyard drinking tea.
This news was naturally leaked by Xu Fengqiu by thinking of a way.
The purpose was to destroy the relationship between Chen Fan and Chen Ling'er.
Once their relationship was destroyed, Chen Fan would basically be half-crippled.
And what needed to be done next was nothing more than making Chen Fan completely sure that Chen Ling'er had betrayed him, without even having to talk to Chen Ling'er.
This was actually very simple, because in Chen Fan's heart, he already believed all of this, but he was just unwilling to believe it.
