From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

On the surface, the so-called Young Master Fang was in reality nothing but an abandoned waste.

Yet such a man dared to assume an air of status and dignity in front of her, Princess Tiandao, even affecting an indifferent composure as he engaged her in conversation.

This truly made Xia Fu Lan feel disgusted.

In her view, without the identity of Young Master Fang to back him, the waste before her would not have had the courage to speak to her at all, and even if he did, he should have acted as if meeting her was the greatest honor of his life.

After hearing the Seventh Elder's introduction, a group of Tiandao Sword Sect disciples also couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

This discarded member of the Fang family dared to take the stage in such a manner and speak to the Tiandao Princess with that attitude. Does he not have the slightest awareness of his own status? Merely a castaway, if it were not for his engagement to Princess Bai Xi of the Bai Family, this guy would have lived at the bottom his whole life.

Furthermore, considering the lack of True Qi aura around this castaway, it seemed he really was just as the rumors stated: a good-for-nothing without a Spiritual Root.

The atmosphere suddenly became even more silent, and even the proctors on the examination field stopped speaking to the Tiandao Sword Sect disciples, with all eyes focusing on the two individuals.

Princess Fulan smiled upon hearing what the man known as Young Master Fang said, and spoke up, "So it's Young Master Fang. I've heard quite a lot about you these days. I didn't expect that the Head of the Fang family would have such a son."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder had even more sweat pouring down his forehead.

Saying the Head of the Fang family should have such a son clearly implied that Fang Ren should not be the young master of the Fang family.

It was also a reminder for Fang Ren to recognize his own status before speaking to her again.

The crowd, too, couldn't understand why Xia Fu Lan suddenly bore such strong hostility towards Young Master Fang.

After all, Xia Fu Lan was obviously unaware of Young Master Fang's creation of an Upper Level Pill, and since she was uninformed of this event, she would not think that what Fang Ren had just said on stage was in any way a mockery of her.

From everyone's perspective, she indeed had no reason to suddenly speak so pointedly to Fang Ren. But only Xia Fu Lan knew in her heart that this Young Master Fang happened to be the fiancé of Princess Tianjiang, Bai Qi. the-place-NovelFire

To put it bluntly, Xia Fu Lan's hostility was not entirely directed at Fang Ren; she actually wanted to make Bai Qi uncomfortable.

Xia Fu Lan didn't know whether Bai Qi was here or not, but she felt sure that the embarrassing incident involving Bai Qi's fiancé here today would definitely reach Bai Qi's ears.

Between her and Bai Qi, there was an issue that just couldn't be overlooked.

After Xia Fu Lan's words, Fang Ren showed no change in his facial expression, still responding indifferently, "Lord of the Tiandao Sect, you've lived a life of war, loved your people like your children, and held firm integrity. Princess Fulan truly inherits the Sect Master's virtues perfectly, which is indeed a blessing for the Tiandao."

As he finished his remarks, the entire venue became even more deathly silent.

Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with Fang Ren's statement, everyone present knew that the jab in his words was no less sharp than Xia Fu Lan's previous remark.

Inherit the virtues of the Tiandao Sect Master? Although Xia Fu Lan did not seem to have any flaws in the public's eyes, when it came to virtues, apart from her beauty and illustrious background, she really had nothing noteworthy to say.

To say she inherited the Sect Master's virtues... that was simply too high of praise. The character of the Tiandao Sect Master was truly upright and unyielding, full of love for his people, but to ascribe these traits to Xia Fu Lan... well, none were evident at all.

What was the reason for such deep animosity? The two started tearing into each other as soon as they met.

Although the power of the Fang family didn't fear the Tiandao Sword Sect, at a time when humans had a common enemy, privately creating enmity between two major powers was a grave sin, one that could lead to being arrested by the Central Area and thrown into prison.

Suddenly, a tense atmosphere permeated the entire venue.

Chen Cheng and Lin Bozhong in the sky also frowned deeply. No one could understand why the Young Master Fang, who had been so graceful in the face of ridicule just yesterday, now seemed to be stirring up trouble without any provocation at all.

A group of Tiandao Sword Sect disciples, after hearing this, began to look displeased.

The Tiandao disciple known as Sen Mo saw this and took two steps forward, saying bluntly, "Compared to you, Young Master Fang, your two younger brothers seem much more cultured and amiable in conversation. It's hard to believe that such modest gentlemen could have a brother like you."

Clearly, Sen Mo had no regard for Fang Ren's status, and his words instantly made the accusation more overt.

Before Fang Ren could reply, another female Tiandao disciple stepped forward and added, "I always thought that students from different ranked academies across the world should all possess the same level of moral quality. But now, seeing Young Master Fang, I think I was wrong. Young Master Fang has taught me a lesson.

It seems that no matter a person's innate background, it cannot outshine the influence of their environment as they grow."

Gulp—

The Seventh Elder swallowed hard. Princess Bai Xi was still watching from the spectator stands, and the elder housekeepers from the Bai, Fang, Liu, Wang, and Cao families were all present, with most of the aristocrats in the audience hailing from Tianjiang.

The two disciples from the Tiandao Sword Sect had spoken more bluntly than Xia Fu Lan, who at least used insinuations. These two disciples were plainly saying—Fang Ren was unworthy of the status of the Young Master Fang.

Lin Bozhong and Chen Cheng heard this and were just about to take the stage to quickly control the situation, but at that moment, Bai Qi, who had been standing on the edge of the field, flung off the hat on top of her head, and walked straight toward Fang Ren.

"Bai... Princess Bai Xi!?"

"Oh my God! How did I not guess this crucial point! I had heard that Princess Bai Xi transferred schools! I never imagined she would go to Young Master Fang's school!"

"It should have been obvious! Young Master Fang's identity was just revealed in Tianjiang. How could he possibly just casually find a girl as his attendant!"

...

"Should we go up and help?"

Butler Liu and the elderly from the Wang Family and Cao Family stood together, looking at the scene unfolding in the center of the field with sweat also hanging on their foreheads.

"Forget it, let's wait for those two brothers to speak," Housekeeper Wang glanced at Chen Cheng and Lin Bozhong floating in the sky, and said.

...

Facing the sarcasm of the two Tiandao disciples, Fang Ren's expression remained as calm as yesterday, speaking, "It's an unexpected pleasure that today has been rewarding for the two of you, and at the same time, I believe that in the near future, you'll definitely attend many of the classes I teach."

Whoosh—

The whole crowd was astonished.

Why was Young Master Fang so different from yesterday? Such arrogant words were spoken so casually?

But upon reflection, the statement didn't seem too unreasonable. If it were about alchemy, Fang Ren was completely qualified to be the teacher of their teachers.

The group from the Tiandao Sword Sect had just noticed Princess Bai Xi's sudden appearance in the center of the field, feeling somewhat surprised.

Especially Xia Fu Lan, who upon seeing Bai Qi and hearing Fang Ren's outrageous remarks, looked at Song Mobei next to her who had been smiling the whole time without saying a word, a surge of ruthlessness filled her heart.

Heh, your fiancé, is he? Today I will let you see how much face this worthless thing can make you lose! Let's see if you still have the face to flirt with Brother Song after this!

"Young Master Fang is really well-educated. Has nobody told you since childhood to be low-key?" Xia Fu Lan said with a smile to Fang Ren.

The matter between her and Bai Qi was actually because of Song Mobei.

She grew up with Song Mobei in the Tiandao Sword Sect and they were childhood sweethearts. Since childhood, she had her heart set on marrying no one but Song Mobei. However, last year, she found out about Bai Qi's feelings for Brother Song and since then, she had been filled with animosity towards Bai Qi.

"Ever since I was a child, Uncle Han taught me not to be competitively arrogant with others, to be low-key, and to this very day, I have always remembered his teachings and abided by his education," continued Fang Ren. "However, I am curious, among the lessons Princess Fulan received since childhood, have you not heard that among any group of three people, there must be one who can be my teacher?

There may indeed be many areas on which I could enlighten you."

Xia Fu Lan started to get angry, her face showing displeasure, "To offer to teach others the moment you open your mouth, is this the low-key attitude Young Master Fang was educated with since childhood? Your Uncle Han really has a way of teaching, he must be an esteemed teacher from Tianjiang, oh, but I forgot, Young Master Fang has probably never been to Tianjiang.

But since you mentioned that among any three people, there is one who can be my teacher, I am curious to know which aspects of Young Master Fang are worthy of my study? I heard that Young Master Fang is also a contestant in this alchemy competition, in this area, on the contrary, I have much that Young Master Fang could learn from me."

"I don't recall saying that there was nothing on Princess Fulan that was worth my study, this aura of 'arrogance' is something you, Princess Fulan, are imposing on me," Fang Ren continued. "However, as for alchemy, I don't see anything, not a trace, on Princess Fulan worth my study."

"Hahaha..."

The moment the words left Fang Ren's mouth, all the Tiandao disciples except for Song Mobei burst out laughing loudly.

What a joke, in terms of alchemy, this trash expecting junior Fulan to learn from him?

Junior Fulan has been the alchemist who overturned records since the beginning of the Cultivation Era! What is Fang Ren? Nothing but trash!

Yet, as their laughter filled the venue, the expressions on the faces of all the audience members and the examiners froze, not a smile to be seen, dreadfully silent.

After merely two or three seconds of laughter, the group of Tiandao disciples immediately stopped, looking at the silent crowd around them, utterly bewildered.

Awkward, nothing but awkwardness.

Were they the only eleven laughing?
