"What on earth is your butler thinking, coming up with such a rotten idea!" Fang Ren spoke with a critical attitude, speaking earnestly.
"Why are you criticizing ? It's not like I was the one who ca up with the idea," Bai Qi said with a look of grievance.
"Just veto it," Fang Ren said decisively.
"You were using that sa tone just now when you said we should give it a try…" Bai Qi looked at him, her expression full of disdain as she rolled her eyes at him forcefully.
"That doesn't count," Fang Ren waved off and continued, "Enough of that, are they really insisting that we must have a child no matter what?"
"That seems to be my grandfather's intention," Bai Qi nodded.
"Did you tell him about my ability to cultivate?" Fang Ren asked.
"I didn't say anything, but he already knows," Bai Qi replied. "But according to him, even if you can't cultivate, we must still have a child, and he gave a whole set of theories that I couldn't understand at all."
Fang Ren was very puzzled when he heard this.
The only one Bai Qi could be calling grandfather was the elder Family Head of the Bai Family, Bai Chaojin, who was also the supre leader of the Indra Sky organization. Given Bai Chaojin's position, he should have been more aligned with the Central Command's thinking, sparing no effort to create a stronger generation of cultivators.
Why would Bai Chaojin still want Bai Qi to have a child with him even if he can't cultivate?
In the eyes of the public, wouldn't this an that Bai Chaojin was allowing him to waste Bai Qi's cultivation gene?
Fang Ren couldn't understand.
Moreover, according to Indra Sky's plan, Bai Qi was their ultimate test subject, and her cultivation gene was acknowledged to surpass that of Mu Hui. As long as there were no accidents, Bai Qi could surpass Mu Hui within the next few decades.
Furthermore, if the experint were successful, Bai Qi would far surpass Mu Hui, becoming the strongest human and putting a substantial distance between her and the second strongest.
What on earth was Bai Chaojin thinking? Why did he still insist that Bai Qi have a child with him?
Could it be that the arranged marriage between the Bai and Fang families wasn't due to any internal debt they felt they owed him, but rather for so other purpose?
"So you're just going to do as your grandfather says? Even transferring schools?" Fang Ren said.
"I already told you, it wasn't my own will. I was literally grabbed and thrown over here by the butler-grandfather, and I was forced to enroll and not allowed to go anywhere else," Bai Qi said with a face full of grievance.
"So you an your family's butler is keeping an eye on you at all tis?" Fang Ren asked.
"Of course, I still have the Dispersal Mark on and can't use any cultivation abilities. They're afraid I'll get captured by the Nightfall Organization again, like last ti. They've had the butler-grandfather protect and even sent a group from the investigation team," Bai Qi explained.
"Tianjiang… Investigation Group?"
A shock went through Fang Ren's heart. It was one thing for this girl to arrive, but why had the Tianjiang Investigation Group co too?
If the Nightfall Organization were to be discovered by the Investigation Group, the consequences would be dreadful, potentially affecting many of his future plans.
"Yes, especially since that vile Nightfall Organization is around here, we must eradicate this group quickly to protect the safety of the people here," Bai Qi said earnestly.
"This… is true," Fang Ren imdiately put on an awkward smile and said, "I heard that the mayor of Yangming City was assassinated, and it was likely the work of that organization."
"It's not just likely, it's definitely their doing. The matter has already been settled," Bai Qi frowned. "Speaking of which, you're a local citizen, don't you pay attention to the news around you? How can you still say it's just likely?"
"Maybe I just don't pay much attention to things around ," Fang Ren hastily covered up. "So, the people who captured you that day, they were from the Nightfall Organization?"
"Of course, they seem to have always been opposing my grandfather, definitely scheming to capture as a way to threaten him," Bai Qi said.
Fang Ren paused for a mont before whispering, "Have you ever heard of the Indra Sky organization?"
Bai Qi was startled, "Indra Sky? What's that? Another evil organization like Nightfall?"
"I'm not sure myself, just heard so people talking about it on the street recently, got curious."
Fang Ren's mind was a bit chaotic. It seed that Bai Qi didn't even know she was being used as a test subject, and she likely harbored deep hatred toward the Nightfall Organization since they had captured her before.
Fang Ren had thought about finding an opportunity to change her view of the Nightfall Organization, but now, it seed there was no chance for that.
If he chose to join the Nightfall Organization in the near future, he would have to beco mortal enemies with Bai Qi.
But if it really ca to that, he would first tell Bai Qi everything. As for what decision Bai Qi would make... he could only hope that she would rise up and resist an undesired marriage.
"Then you might have heard wrong," Bai Qi said. "Currently, the only threat to Earth's public safety is the Nightfall Organization."
"Maybe so," Fang Ren nodded.
Just then, the bell signaling the start of class began to ring, and Bai Qi imdiately followed Fang Ren back to the classroom.
As the two of them returned to the classroom, all the students' gazes converged on them again, their faces full of curiosity but hesitant to ask more.
Jing and Li imdiately moved away from Fang Ren's surroundings to make room for Bai Qi. They kept looking back at Fang Ren from a distance, making eye gestures.
As soon as Jian Qi'er saw Jing and Li leave, she imdiately moved to the other side of Fang Ren and sat down, smiling foolishly and said, "Fang, Fang classmate, I ca in such a hurry today that I also forgot to bring my textbook. Could I share with you?"
When Fang Ren saw this girl approaching, he couldn't help but feel nervous, sensing that she was up to so mischief.
Jian Qi'er probably didn't know about the last ti the Nightfall Organization captured Bai Qi; otherwise, she would have already asked him about his relationship with Bai Qi.
"Sure...," Fang Ren responded with a worried look and nodded.
Then Jian Qi'er looked at Bai Qi with a nervous expression and spoke, "And and, that, Your Highness the Princess, you won't mind if I squeeze in here, will you?"
Bai Qi, seeing the silly and endearing Jian Qi'er, quickly flashed a polite smile, "Not at all, and please don't call Princess anymore, just call Bai Qi."
Jian Qi'er bowed her head and shyly said, "Okay okay okay, fine Bai Qi classmate..."
Jing and Li, sitting not far away, were stunned to see this.
"How can this girl be so clueless? There are so many classmates in the class, why does she have to squeeze next to the princess?" Jing Haichuan said.
Li Xingwang frowned and said with profound seriousness, "I think this girl might really be trying to usurp her position. Whenever Ranzi sits with other girls, she has to go and squeeze in."
"Huh? Seriously? This silly girl couldn't really be trying to compete with Xuan Nv for a man, could she?"
"Shh! I always feel there's sothing special between the princess and Ranzi."
"Are you suggesting... that the two of them also have a thing going on?" Jing Haichuan said with a serious yet excited expression, "Oh my! That ans if Ranzi uses my Jing family's condoms, it's like the Highness the Princess is endorsing my Jing family's condoms? If I spread this around, wouldn't the Jing family imdiately beco the world's number one condom supplier? Holy crap!
I'm simply a business genius!"
"Damn! Stop spouting nonsense! Aren't you afraid of being locked up in jail!"
...
Liu Qianqian, sitting in the front row, also occasionally looked back. Seeing Jian Qi'er and Bai Qi sitting on either side of Fang Ren, she couldn't feel comfortable no matter what.
She always felt that there was sothing complicated about Bai Qi and Fang Ren's relationship, and as for Jian Qi'er... she really seed to be set on usurping.
"It must be because I care too much about Fang Ren. How could the Highness the Princess have anything too deep with Fang Ren? Jian Qi'er, that silly girl, is so innocent, she couldn't possibly do such a thing…" Liu Qianqian continuously consoled herself in her mind.
Soon the class teacher arrived in the classroom, mainly to say so uplifting and welcoming words about Bai Qi's arrival in the class, and then the usual tedious lessons continued.
"Bai, Bai Qi classmate, there's sothing I'm really curious about. Can I ask you?"
During the class, Jian Qi'er leaned over the desk and quietly asked Bai Qi a question.
As soon as Fang Ren heard her speak, he imdiately glanced at her, then instantly returned to normal and pretended to be carefully listening to the lecture.
His heart was actually in chaos. If this girl asked sothing she shouldn't, it would be a disaster, since the Tianjiang Investigation Group was still all over Yangming City!
At that mont, Bai Qi was looking at so alchemy theory she didn't understand at all and was completely puzzled by the teacher's lecture, so she welcod the interruption from Jian Qi'er, which brought her back to reality from her boredom.
"Go ahead and ask," Bai Qi replied.
As the Bai Family's little princess, she had been taught to be close to the people from a young age, and even if she had a temper, she could only let it out at ho. Outside, she had to maintain an image of elegance, nobility, and friendliness.
"Well, I was just wondering, for soone like Bai Qi classmate, there must be a lot of protectors hidden around when you're out, right?" Jian Qi'er asked timidly.
Fang Ren was baffled by her question. What did she an by asking this? If Bai Qi didn't have protectors around, was her next move to go after Bai Qi?
"Indeed, there are, but I don't like being monitored by them; it always feels very restricting," Bai Qi answered with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jian Qi'er quickly replied, "That's exactly what I thought it would be like, it feels just like sothing out of a movie..."
...
The whole class left Fang Ren feeling like he was walking a tightrope.
Because Jian Qi'er was practically courting disaster!
She kept using her outwardly silly and clueless guise to ask dangerous-seeming questions to Bai Qi, from whether she had guards when traveling, to what cultivation level Bai Qi had, and even who Bai Qi planned to marry in the future...
Her dumb, clueless deanor, coupled with a timid way of chatting and adding a lot of irrelevant chatter during the conversation, did not arouse any suspicion from Bai Qi.
Fang Ren felt that if he didn't already know the truth, he probably would have thought Jian Qi'er was just a naive and curious little silly girl who had not seen much of the world.
