From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 120: Chapter 118: Traces of Indra Sky (Supplement)_1

"Stop, please don't make a fuss."

Fang Ren immediately raised both hands and said, "The class leader and I are just ordinary friends. I've been rejected twice in my confessions, and she has made it clear that we are only friends. You guys shouldn't pretend you don't know and stir up trouble."

"How can you be so dense!" Li Xinyue said with a look of helplessness.

However, she didn't know that after Fang Ren had been rejected twice, he took all of Liu Qianqian's previous hints as just friendly gestures and never thought too much about them.

Feeling that Fang Ren was constantly being ridiculed by the entire class, Bai Qi couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately reached out, pulled Fang Ren to the side, and moved about five meters away from Li Xinyue and the others.

As soon as the class saw Bai Qi pulling on Fang Ren's arm, they were instantly stunned, and the previous commotion quickly subsided.

She whispered to Fang Ren, "You really didn't do anything to the class leader, did you?"

"I really didn't," Fang Ren frowned and said.

"Then, do you want me to help you?" Bai Qi asked.

"Of course!" said Fang Ren, nodding his head vigorously.

"Then leave it to me."

Bai Qi turned her head back and looked at Li Xinyue and the others, her expression a bit serious as she said, "There's nothing inappropriate between Fang Ren and the class leader. I believe them."

As soon as they heard Bai Qi speak, the whole class was dumbfounded, especially given Bai Qi's serious expression, which left everyone filled with doubt.

Li Xinyue was also taken aback. "Princess... what are you..."

"Fang Ren was with me last night, and it's impossible for him to date any other girls," Bai Qi said.

Everyone was confused. They didn't know who Fang Ren was with last night, but the girls in the dormitory knew that Princess Bai Qi had stayed in her room all night and hadn't gone out.

Clearly, this was deliberate protection.

"This... why?" Li Xinyue was stunned.

Fang Ren is impossible to date other girls?

Why would Princess Bai Qi say that so adamantly?

With a serious face, Bai Qi said, "Because he is my fiancé. We are very committed to our engagement, and he could not possibly have any inextricable relationship with any other girl."

"..." Fang Ren turned to stone.

"..." Li Xinyue was completely flabbergasted.

A few seconds later:

"Damn it!"

The whole class exploded.

"Did I just hear Princess Bai Qi say the words 'my fiancé'?!"

"Princess's fiancé? Ranzi?"

"Am I still not awake..."

"Cui Hua, give me a slap!"

"Damn! For real? They're engaged? This... what about Madame Xuan?"

...

Slap—

Fang Ren immediately came to his senses, grabbed Bai Qi's arm, and ran off into the distance with her.

"They're running! There must be some unspeakable secret between them!"

"Fang Ren always seemed like a good guy, it was just a joke to call him a scumbag. How could he actually do something like this?"

"Looking at the class leader's state, she must have cried a lot last night. I wonder what really happened."

...

The quiet whispers spread among the students; Li Xinyue immediately turned and glared at Fang Ren, then hurriedly pulled Liu Qianqian to the seat next to her, whispering something in a low voice.

Fang Ren was as surprised as anyone by Liu Qianqian's demeanor. He had thought it a simple misunderstanding: Liu Qianqian must have been drunk last night because of her mother's issues and happened to utter his name in her sleep.

But seeing her like this... it didn't look that simple.

"Did you really not do anything to her last night?" Bai Qi asked in a hushed tone, frowning.

"I didn't," Fang Ren whispered back.

"You must tell the truth, Fang," Jian Qi'er immediately said, wearing a righteous expression.

"I REALLY didn't."

The class was uncomfortable for Fang Ren; he felt eyes on him from every corner whenever he looked down, as if he were being watched by the entire class.

Misunderstandings... are truly frightening things.

At noon, Bai Qi didn't join Fang Ren for lunch but bid him farewell before rushing off campus to look for a job.

Jing and Li caught up with Fang Ren and bombarded him with questions about his relationship with Bai Qi and what exactly was going on with the class leader.

Fang Ren found an opportunity to slip away, without offering any explanations. After all, any attempt to clarify matters would look like he was two-timing.

Ordinary people wouldn't understand what a forced engagement meant; they thought if you didn't like someone, you should just call off the wedding, not understanding that some marriages aren't up to those involved.

As Fang Ren sat alone in the garden, avoiding everywhere else, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

He looked up to see Jian Qi'er, who had removed her glasses and swept her hair up.

"You've certainly made a name for yourself today."

Jian Qi'er sat beside him with a schadenfreude smirk, crossing her legs encased in flesh-colored stockings.

"I don't think gloating is your main purpose here," Fang Ren said with a sigh, glancing at her.

"Right, I wanted to ask how you suddenly became Bai Qi's fiancé?" Jian Qi'er said. "I told you everything, yet you still kept secrets from me."

"I found out about it only recently myself; it left me stunned. It was a childhood arranged engagement," said Fang Ren. "But come on, your organization can dig up my background but can't find out about my engagement with her?"

"Who would have guessed you two had such deep connections?" Jian Qi'er waved her hand dismissively. "But it's a good thing; I was afraid you were siding with Bai Qi. If your relationship with her was so close that you could share anything, that would've spelled disaster for our Nightshade."

"Is there anything else?" asked Fang Ren.

"Yes, big news," Jian Qi'er said, reclining in her chair to gaze at the sky with a worried expression. She sighed, "Just now, our organization spotted a fifth-order Void Beast lurking in the forest on the outskirts of the city."

"A fifth-order Void Beast?" Fang Ren was taken aback. "But we don't have any Void Holes around here, where did that thing come from?"

Jian Qi'er replied, "When our organization spotted the Void Beast, they also saw members of the Indra Sky organization. Based on preliminary assessments, that fifth-order Void Beast is likely an experiment of Indra Sky."

"An experiment?" Fang Ren was shocked. "Their experiments involve not just human practitioners?"

Jian Qi'er looked at him, saying, "We don't know; our understanding of them isn't complete."

"From what you're saying... the war is drawing closer," Fang Ren remarked.

"It's not just drawing closer; it could happen anytime," Jian Qi'er said. "Maybe the next second, an hour from now, or even tomorrow..."
