From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 203: Chapter 200: Take a Step Forward, The Relationship Becomes Distanter._1

"Talking nonsense, let's go."

Fang Ren said, and with that, he circulated his True Qi and took Bai Qi up into the air, flying toward the Bamboo Alchemist Guild.

"Hey!"

Bai Qi saw that he didn't even bother to ask a question before deciding to take her to see Brother Song, and she immediately felt uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Fang Ren was taken aback.

All he was doing was using his True Qi to grab her arm; there was no other physical contact between them. Even if Song Mobei saw them, there would be no misunderstanding. He truly didn't understand what this girl was thinking now.

"Let's, let's go eat," Bai Qi stammered.

"...What's the fuss?" Fang Ren spoke with a bit more force.

"Suddenly got a bit hungry," Bai Qi said.

"Nonsense, we just ate less than two hours ago, and nobody ate more than you did."

As he spoke, Fang Ren continued to carry her toward the direction of the Alchemist Guild.

Seeing this, Bai Qi felt even more troubled. Her suggestion to go eat was just a temporary excuse to avoid seeing Song Mobei; she just didn't want to see Fang Ren with a look of sour sadness.

However, Fang Ren was completely oblivious to the thoughts she had concocted in her head.

As they got closer to the Alchemist Guild, Bai Qi suddenly said, "Do you think... after I see Brother Song, our relationship will change?"

In her view, Fang Ren suddenly deciding to take her to see Song Mobei at this time meant he wanted to sever the relationship between them completely. After helping her, he would choose not to have any further contact with her.

This feeling is known as... the act of letting go before breaking off ties.

This behavior usually takes place when a person decides to forget someone or cut off thoughts about someone. They might choose to help the other in one last instance, creating a deeper wound for themselves.

It is a kind of self-harm in emotions, causing oneself pain, then fear, and finally dread at the prospect of further contact, achieving the purpose of cutting off thoughts about a person.

After listening to Bai Qi, Fang Ren thought for a moment and said, "Maybe."

Because in his eyes, after Bai Qi interacted with Song Mobei, she would certainly distance herself from him due to her consideration of the pursuit of Song Mobei.

Although the two of them did not have any romantic relationship now, in the eyes of others, they were still fiancés. If they were seen together too often, it would definitely make people think Bai Qi and he had a close relationship.

Therefore, Bai Qi would likely choose to significantly reduce her contact with him, considering Song Mobei's feelings, and effectively distance their relationship in silence.

When Bai Qi heard Fang Ren speak, her complex feelings suddenly entwined like countless threads, forming a heavy stone in her heart.

Indeed, his actions were exactly as she had guessed. This was the final break before letting go.

After hearing his words, her mood suddenly turned sour, and the heavy stone weighing on her heart made her not even want to see Brother Song, whom she once admired. Now she wanted to understand the source of this stone and how to remove it from her heart.

During this contemplation, one thing she had to admit was that she cared about Fang Ren's feelings more than she wanted to see Brother Song.

Song Mobei, Xia Fu Lan, and the matter of the Void beast, these were all reasons he must enter the venue.

Watching Fang Ren suddenly turn and walk toward the venue on his own, Bai Qi unexpectedly began to feel sad.

Did he really want to cut ties with her that much?

Seeing the path Fang Ren walked through was about to be closed off by the crowd, Bai Qi immediately followed in Fang Ren's footsteps, grabbing his arm with one hand.

As her hand clutched Fang Ren's arm, he immediately froze in his tracks.

What was wrong with this girl? Hadn't she just been reluctant to walk with him? Why was she now grabbing his arm?

Wasn't she afraid of revealing her identity? Wasn't she worried about being seen by Song Mobei and causing a misunderstanding?

A series of questions jumbled in Fang Ren's mind.

"Is there something I haven't made clear?" Bai Qi suddenly asked.

"What are you talking about?" Fang Ren was puzzled.

"I said I could avoid meeting him, I've said it many times." Bai Qi spoke with a serious tone, "Why do you still act like this? Do I really disgust you that much?"

"What?"

Fang Ren was even more baffled; he couldn't understand the sudden remark coming from her.

But upon glancing at the expressions of the people around, it was clear they had guessed Bai Qi's identity. Fang Ren didn't bother to talk more with her and hurriedly brought her into the venue.

However, as they continued toward the venue, Fang Ren gently pried Bai Qi's hand off his arm and let it go.

Bai Qi watched her hand being pried off and let go. For some reason, her heart suddenly filled with even more sadness.

As Fang Ren kept moving toward the venue, the buzz of the surrounding people also grew louder. The conversation shifted from being 100% about Song Mobei to now 80% being about him.

"Hey! It's Young Master Fang! My heavens! He really came!"

"Where? Where! I thought he had already left! To personally see the Unparalleled Alchemist, I hadn't missed a single alchemy competition in the past few days!"

"Damn! When I heard about Young Master Fang, I instantly switched allegiances! An unrivaled genius, neither arrogant nor haughty, he didn't respond when so many mocked him that day! And he didn't use his power to settle scores! Such demeanor! Such composure!

Truly badass!"

"Coming here today was worth it! I heard about Young Master Fang suddenly emerging and came all the way from Tianjiang! I never expected to catch Song Mobei, and now Young Master Fang shows up too!"

"Once in a century, a Cultivation Level against the heavens, a Sword Dao prodigy! Silent for twenty-two years, then overnight overturning the Elixir Field! These two men... are invincible."

"Key point is, both of them are beyond reach when it comes to their character."

"Honestly, I came here just to see the Elixir Field's prodigy, seeing Song Mobei was an unexpected delight. But speaking of character, Song Mobei is undeniably virtuous and uncorrupted, truly admirable. However, I prefer Young Master Fang even more. You can look up his past performance in school, and you'll know just how low-key and formidable the once abandoned Young Master had been."

"Right, twenty-two years of hidden sharpness! How terrifying must be his disposition?"

"I'm not really into people from the Elixir Field, I still think Brother Song is awesome!"
