From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

```

"Alright, since Young Master Fang doesn't have time today, then we shall meet on the battlefield of the final duel tomorrow!" Xia Fu Lan said.

What Fang Ren had said was exactly to her liking. In anyone's eyes, this battle was an assured victory for her, Xia Fu Lan.

However, if she were to start the duel here and now, only the few people currently present at the venue would witness her defeat of Fang Ren, which was obviously not her desire.

At tomorrow's final duel, there would be more dignitaries attending, including the Fang Family's Second Master. The thought of defeating Young Master Fang right in front of the Fang Family's Second Master thrilled her.

The humiliation she suffered today over the medicinal pills, she would most certainly return to Fang Ren in front of even more witnesses tomorrow!

Bai Xi looked on at Fang Ren, completely bewildered. She couldn't understand why Fang Ren would put on a brave face at this moment, knowing full well that among the world of the Sword Dao, the number of people surpassing Xia Fu Lan was countable on one hand.

Since her encounter with Fang Ren, she had never seen him wield a sword, and she vividly remembered that when they had met, Fang Ren was merely a small practitioner at the Peak of the Intense Concentration Realm!

Even without using True Qi, Xia Fu Lan's physical strength at the Yingyue Realm was not something he could match!

Fang Ren paid no attention to Xia Fu Lan, and looking at the Seventh Elder, he said, "Elder, please receive the reward on my behalf. I have some matters to attend to and will leave first."

With those words, Fang Ren walked down from the ranks of the top five, and the crowd began to make way for him. No proctors tried to stop him, nor did anyone comment further.

After all, the encouragement for first place in the division competition was nothing more than a third-tier advanced medicinal pill, which was of little consequence to Fang Ren.

Watching Fang Ren leave, Bai Xi glanced at her fellow sect disciples and felt very helpless. After all, those disciples would always be from the Tiandao Sword Sect, and they would support Xia Fu Lan no matter what.

Without paying further attention to her fellow disciples, Bai Xi immediately went to Song Mobei, bowed respectfully, and said, "Brother Song, I feel there is no need to take the sword duel too seriously. I can sincerely apologize on behalf of Fang Ren. His emotions have been abnormal these past few days, and I hope you can also persuade Sister Furong to be lenient on this matter."

As Bai Xi bowed and said these words, Fang Ren, who had just stepped down, suddenly paused. He turned his head back emotionlessly to look at Bai Xi. He knew her heart was in the right place, but this girl simply didn't understand his strength.

All the spectators who saw Bai Xi speaking to Song Mobei were astonished too, with many unable to comprehend why Princess Bai Xi would seek Song Mobei's assistance over this matter.

After all, wasn't it public knowledge that Princess Bai Xi adored Song Mobei? Furthermore, earlier, Fang Ren had said himself that Bai Xi didn't like him, and that her previous action of holding his hand on stage was merely to save his face.

But if Princess Bai Xi truly liked Song Mobei, then why would she speak on behalf of Fang Ren at this moment? Wasn't she afraid that Song Mobei would misunderstand and think that her feelings for Fang Ren were deep?

Upon hearing this, Song Mobei smiled and glanced at Fang Ren, who had stopped not far away, then looked at Bai Xi in front of him. Smiling, he said, "Sister Bai Xi, I think there might be a misunderstanding. It's just a friendly match. How could we take it too seriously? Even if we determine the better swordsman tomorrow, in the end, it's nothing more than a sparring session.

We'll stop when a point is made. Winning or losing really isn't important—you're worrying too much."

After hearing these words, Bai Xi looked up at Song Mobei, surprise evident in her eyes. She had thought that Brother Song, who had always been upright, would mediate and perhaps even downplay the tension.

However, from what Song Mobei had just said, it was clear he had no intention of stopping the duel—a contest Fang Ren was sure to lose.

```

Everyone listened to Song Mobei's words and did not harbor any doubts about his character. After all, it was Fang Ren who had actively requested the sparring, and Song Mobei was merely following along with the two of them without interfering.

"Brother Song..."

Bai Qi sighed helplessly in her heart, and after sighing, her gaze turned to Fang Ren, who had stopped in the crowd and looked back at her.

Fang Ren gave her a smile and then turned his head to continue leaving.

"Sister Bai Xi, you and Young Master Fang really have a deep relationship," Xia Fu Lan suddenly said with a sarcastic tone at this moment, "It seems like whatever Young Master Fang does, you always have to clean up after him."

"This has nothing to do with Sister Furong."

Bai Qi said and turned her head to walk towards the stands below.

Before Bai Qi could descend the stairs, Xia Fu Lan immediately spoke again, "It seems that what Young Master Fang said earlier was very wrong, wasn't it? He said Sister Bai Xi doesn't like him, but it turns out to be all lies. Isn't Sister Bai Xi deeply in love?"

Bai Qi clenched her teeth internally, choosing not to entertain Xia Fu Lan.

She was crystal clear in her heart that the reason Xia Fu Lan spoke these words in front of so many people was not merely to address the crowd but also to make them heard by Song Mobei, thus preventing her from having the opportunity to pursue Song Mobei and to have Song Mobei keep his distance voluntarily.

Xia Fu Lan's words directly turned Bai Xi's pursuit of Song Mobei into an issue incredibly hard to explain, so much so that if Bai Qi wanted to continue pursuing Song Mobei, she would have to go through considerable effort to clarify her relationship with Fang Ren—and she would inevitably encounter many troublesome matters and cold remarks from the people.

If Bai Qi did not clarify things quickly now, then she would almost have no chance to get close to Song Mobei in the future.

Now, Bai Qi could have shattered Xia Fu Lan's insinuations with just a few words. If she stopped in her tracks now and made clear her relationship with Fang Ren in front of everyone, Song Mobei would not misunderstand, and she could continue to pursue Song Mobei without having to worry about the engagement either.

However, at that moment, she chose not to stop and clarify her relationship with Fang Ren; instead, she opted for silence and continued to follow the direction in which Fang Ren had left.

She missed the best opportunity to explain herself to Song Mobei and everyone else, and from then on, everyone would believe that the person she liked was Fang Ren, not Song Mobei.

For some reason, at that moment, she would rather let everyone misinterpret her feelings for Fang Ren than clarify her relationship with him there.

Even if Song Mobei also believed she liked Fang Ren, even if Song Mobei never interacted with her from now on... it didn't matter.

As long as Fang Ren didn't leave her, that was enough...

She didn't even know what she was thinking at the moment, and she couldn't understand her own feelings.

Amid a whirlwind of confusion, all she could think about was catching up to Fang Ren.
