From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 215: Chapter 211: Isn't That Person...?_1

Fang Ren chuckled awkwardly, "After all, I am the one pursuing Madame Xuan."

Bai Qi's face showed signs of surprise, then she paused and said, "Hey, how much longer are you going to use that excuse to cover things up?"

"I'm not covering anything up."

"Then why, when I wanted to take you to dine with her, you didn't agree, and you even said you like me?"

"I never said that I like you."

"..."

Bai Qi fell silent again, as she went through all the events of the past days in her mind once more.

"Stop thinking about it, we're almost at our stop."

Seeing that the vehicle had begun announcing the next station, Fang Ren interrupted her, then started to gather his luggage and stood up from his seat.

Seeing this, Bai Qi placed the little Qianye on her shoulder, picked up her backpack as well, and stood up, then got off the vehicle after it came to a complete stop.

Upon disembarking, the scenery was filled with skyscrapers, their grandeur almost obscuring the sky—a vastness simply unbelievable.

Amid these massive buildings, countless high-tech floating devices and cultivators flying through the skies created a somewhat dizzying spectacle.

Fang Ren checked the time, quickly hailed a cab at the station, and hastened towards the final competition venue.

Throughout the journey, Bai Qi, that girl, once again lapsed into silence; Fang Ren didn't interrupt her this time, as they would soon meet Mu Huanqing, and there were many things he needed to be upfront with her about.

If not today, then tomorrow.

The taxi wove through the bustling, crisscrossing city, reaching the Spirit Winter District of Tianjiang—the site of the grand finals.

After getting out of the car again, what met their eyes was an enormously large stone archway engraved with many antiquated characters, surrounded by floating high-tech crafts with electronic screens that boldly displayed "The 49th National Collegiate Elixir Competition" on them.

"What offer?" Fang Ren asked.

"I'll take you to have dinner with Sister Hui Qing."

"This..."

Fang Ren glanced again at Mu Huanqing inside and after some thought, he asked, "Can I go in now?"

"Just say whether you want to have dinner with her or not," Bai Qi said.

"I do," Fang Ren nodded.

He had already come all this way, and to see his own wife yet not be able to speak with her, what kind of situation was that? As for bringing along this girl Bai Qi to have dinner with Mu Huanqing, so be it; it simply meant that he wouldn't be able to be intimate with Mu Huanqing just for the duration of a meal.

As Fang Ren's words fell, Bai Qi's gaze suddenly grew dim. She hadn't expected Fang Ren to change his mind at this moment. He had rejected her offer the other day to have dinner with Mu Huanqing, but here, he had changed.

Combining this with the journey they had taken, and after organizing everything that had happened between Fang Ren and her these past days, she suddenly realized that Fang Ren's repeated assertions that he didn't like her might indeed be true.

Maybe she had misunderstood everything.

He said he didn't like Song Mobei because it was related to the person he liked. At that time, she hadn't given it much thought and simply assumed that the person Fang Ren referred to was her.

However, now she abruptly realized, what if the person Fang Ren was referring to wasn't her, but Mu Huanqing?

After all, Mu Huanqing and Song Mobei were also connected, and everyone wanted to pair them together.

Upon this realization, Bai Qi's mind felt as turbulent as a churning sea. Many things Fang Ren had said and done in the past flashed like a carousel before her eyes.

He said she was imagining things—could it be that she had fabricated everything?

He said he didn't like her—was it all just her own vanity?

From beginning to end, the person he referred to, it wasn't her, but Mu Huanqing?
