From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

With Fang Ren and Bai Qi leaving the scene, the atmosphere of the entire venue no longer felt as heavy as before.

The competition prizes were only distributed to four participants. The pill that Fang Ren had produced was placed in the custody of the Orchid Bamboo Guild. As for the Tiandao Sword Sect, after the conclusion of the regional competition, they said their farewells to the stewards of various families and departed.

After leaving the competition venue, Fang Ren immediately went back to his hotel, checked out, and purchased a ticket to Tianjiang online.

The grand finals of the Alchemy competition were scheduled for tomorrow evening at around six o'clock. All participating students were required to be present on the eve of the opening.

In fact, there was no rush for time, and there was a dedicated car to transport the top five winners of the competition area to the final venue. The reason Fang Ren bought a ticket online was that by this time, Mu Huanqing should have already settled in at the finals venue in Tianjiang. He was very eager to see her and did not want to wait for the designated transport.

"Why are you following me out here?"

Here, Fang Ren had just come down from checking out of his hotel room when he found Bai Qi had already raced over from the guild.

Seeing him looking somewhat surprised, as if to say you shouldn't have come, Bai Qi started to feel a bit displeased and retorted, "What else could I do if I didn't come over?"

"You came here to see Song Mobei, didn't you? You've barely spoken a few words to him, and now you're done talking?" Fang Ren said.

"Look at you now, how could I continue talking to someone else?" Bai Qi poked a finger into his chest, expressing her grievances.

"My fault?" Fang Ren was taken aback.

"If not you, then whom? Me!" Bai Qi huffed, "Is it wrong that I care too much about your feelings?"

"What feelings? The whole purpose of bringing you here was to let you meet the person you like and talk more with them," Fang Ren said.

"Let's not talk about this," Bai Qi glared at him and said, "Anyway, you're as oblivious as a pig; no matter how I explain my feelings, you'll never understand."

"..."

Fang Ren couldn't help but smile helplessly. In truth, he understood all these matters; it was Bai Qi who didn't. She had shared everything with him, and he had responded with the truth, but Bai Qi didn't believe him.

"I booked a two o'clock ticket to Tianjiang. I initially thought you would choose to go to Tianjiang with Brother Song, so I only booked one ticket," Fang Ren said, taking out his smartphone, "Since you've decided not to go with him, I'll book another one for you."

"Hey! Fang Ren, you—! I've already made myself clear, and you're still trying to dump me!" Bai Qi was immediately angered at this.

She had been so considerate of him, afraid that she might do something inappropriate at the venue that could embarrass him. She even refrained from talking much with Song Mobei, only speaking up when she thought it could help Fang Ren. And yet, this guy didn't even bother to buy her a ticket to go with him to Tianjiang!

"Isn't it immediately rectified now?" Fang Ren said with a smile.

"That's not the same! Can it be the same!" Bai Qi fumed.

"It's a minor issue, don't take it so seriously."

"Is this a minor issue!"

...

After some bickering for a while, Fang Ren checked the time and saw there was still half an hour before the departure. So he decided to take the fiery princess out for a meal to cool down.

At the dinner table, Fang Ren was constantly checking his phone for news from the past few days, most of which were about "Young Master Fang." However, there were no photos of him at the Alchemy competition online; most images were taken from Yangming University's campus network.

Opening those news articles, the comment sections were all explosive, and among them, several top comments came from Yangming University students. Most content revolved around their astonishment of having not recognized Young Master Fang's identity for three years at the same school and the excited expletives of encouragement.

There were also some news articles on the internet digging up his past school history, and most of these articles shaped his character and gave him invisible praise.

Expressions like "not stirring then suddenly stunning," "Goldfish destined for the sea rather than a pond," and such were all used to describe him.

However, what he wanted to look at now wasn't these, but the updates about the Tianjiang finals arena, the personal arrival of Xuan Nv, and Fang Family's Second Young Master's reactions to this incident.

After looking for a while, surely enough, Mu Huanqing had arrived in Tianjiang two hours ago, and the powerful Nine Heavens Corps had brought three hundred soldiers this time. As for that Second Uncle's whereabouts, Fang Ren couldn't find a single trace of him.

"Can you stop looking at your phone?" Bai Qi stuffed a chicken leg in his mouth, looking displeased at the opposite Fang Ren, "With the way you are, how could you ever chase after the girl you like?"

Seeing this, Fang Ren put away his phone, smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and began to pick up food, "I never thought about chasing her."

Why chase when they already have a child?

"Hmph!"

Bai Qi turned his head and continued to gnaw on his chicken leg.

This guy actually said he never thought about chasing her...

Well, after thinking it over, Bai Qi felt that Fang Ren was telling the truth. After all, from beginning to end, Fang Ren had always been pushing her toward Song Mobei, never considering his own personal feelings.

Bai Qi put down the chicken leg, glanced awkwardly at the distance, and said somewhat unnaturally, "Actually... don't imagine my feelings for Brother Song as too intense. After all... I've never been in love. Maybe it's just as my grandfather said, my feelings for Brother Song might not be the happiness I'm looking for... And maybe Brother Song already has someone he's fond of."

"What?"

Fang Ren was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

What did she mean by that? She first explained her feelings for Song Mobei and then hypothesized that Song Mobei might already have someone he liked.

It felt like she was trying to distance herself from Song Mobei.

Pulling away from Song Mobei, and in front of him... Could it be because of the emotions related to the Spiritual Root, leading her to a complex emotional shift, developing a kind of liking for him?

Damn! That can't be right!

"Hey! What kind of reaction is that!" Seeing his reaction, Bai Qi instantly became annoyed again and said with a red face, "Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't mean that I like you, stop guessing wildly!"

"Then why is your face red?" Fang Ren asked.

"..." Bai Qi paused, "It wants to turn red, do you have to mind that too?"

Fang Ren felt he was losing it; clearly, she was saying one thing and meaning another.

It's all over, totally over!

She really had been affected by the Spiritual Root, resulting in a twist in her own emotions.
