Bai Qi glanced at Fang Ren and then turned her head back to Mu Huanqing, saying, "Sister Hui Qing, don't mind him. His mind is a bit off; he acts like this whenever he sees a pretty girl."
Mu Huanqing's expression paused slightly. She really didn't understand the aning behind Bai Qi's words, as Fang Ren seed completely normal in all his words and actions.
With a smile, Mu Huanqing spoke up, "Speaking of which, Sister Bai Xi and Young Master Fang seem to have a very good relationship."
Fang Ren was making faces at Mu Huanqing behind her back, putting on a distressed expression to silently explain himself.
" and him?" Bai Qi looked at Mu Huanqing in surprise, then, chuckling, waved her hand dismissively, "How could that be possible? I would never fall for soone with a screwed-up brain like him."
"Sister Bai Xi wasn't one to say sothing and an another in the past," Mu Huanqing said, as if seeing right through her.
Bai Qi's expression stalled for a mont before she hurriedly shifted the subject, "Sister Hui Qing has changed a lot more. I rember seeing you on the battlefield before, always expressionless, but now you've beco so cheerful."
"That must be because it's been such a long ti since I've seen Sister Bai Xi." reading here on _l _e _mpy _r

Talking as they went, the three of them casually entered a restaurant on the street. Mu Huanqing didn't like entering busy places during her free ti. Bai Qi knew this, so the restaurant she chose was small, yet it was a local specialty store.
As soon as the three of them entered, the entire small restaurant exploded with excitent. No one had expected Madam Xuan and the princess to visit such an ordinary place. People flocked to exchange a few words and snap so photos before being satisfied.
anwhile, Fang Ren, sitting to the side, didn't bask in their glory. Instead, the people coming over for photos would occasionally say to him, "Hey, buddy, if you're not in the photo, could you move aside a little?"
It left Fang Ren with a face full of helplessness.
The al was rather lively. When it ca ti to pay the bill, the owner insisted on waiving the charge and refused to take any money. In the end, Fang Ren casually left a small jade bottle on top of the bill. Inside was a third-order low-grade elixir, more than enough for the cost of several hundred als for an ordinary person.

At this mont, in a private room of a large hotel, Fang Ye sat at the table with a somber expression. Beside him sat a young man with a slight resemblance to him, and a few elegantly dressed n and won were around the dining table, creating a rather tense atmosphere.
"Second Young Master Fang, it seems we may no longer be able to deal with Fang Ren," a man spoke up, "He's now made an appearance as a fourth-order senior alchemist, and at just 22 years old, he's already garnered worldwide attention.
If we continue to take forceful actions against him, those families aware of the Fang Family's internal division will likely pin the bla on us without a second thought."

"But are all our years of effort going to be in vain?" a middle-aged woman said through clenched teeth. "For our plan, how many of our brothers and sisters have died? Are we now, just because he has beco an unparalleled genius, to let the lives of our past brothers and sisters be washed away like water flowing eastward?"
The young man sitting beside Fang Ye finally could not hold back and spoke up, "Father, all of our preparations are already in place, we're just missing Bai Qi and Fang Ren dissolving their engagent! Moreover, great-grandfather has perfectly rged with the Void power that we developed!
In the end, once we take down the Bai Family and gain control of the Indra Sky organization, our Fang Family dominating the world will be as easy as a flick of the wrist! We might even lead all Cultivators into the Void, allowing all of humanity to evolve once again! How can such a great cause be ruined by a single Fang Ren?"
The young man who spoke was called Fang Liqun, the only son of Second Young Master Fang and therefore the second young master of the Fang Family.
If anyone from any other Tianjiang clan were here, they would be utterly baffled by Fang Liqun's words.
He ntioned great-grandfather, but the Fang Family's great-grandfather had already died fifty years ago, so how could he suddenly resurrect and rge with so Void power?
Fang Ye tapped his finger lightly on the desktop, his expression as unmoved as a mountain, and said, "There's no need to rush this matter. To kill Fang Ren, we don't need to lift a finger."
"Second Young Master, you an..."
"Fang Ren's little affair with Mu Huanqing is just the opportunity for us to use the hand of the Tiandao Sword Sect to slaughter him," Fang Ye said.
"Second Young Master, are you suggesting Song Mobei do the deed?" a man frowned. "How could that be possible? Song Mobei is the epito of integrity; just because of sothing between Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing? Even if Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing got married, he wouldn't kill Fang Ren over it."
Fang Ye's lips curved into a slight smile, "Do you think I hadn't tried to make contact with Song Mobei when we started the plan years ago? At that ti, he was already acclaid as a genius, and rumors about his character were also highly regarded. But in the ti that I contacted him, I found out that this man is rely all show with no substance, much of his reputation is feigned."
"So, Second Young Master, you're suggesting we use Song Mobei's sentintal issues to manipulate the situation? But can Song Mobei's feelings for Mu Huanqing... go to the extent of murder?"
Fang Ye smiled coldly, "Whether he can kill or not, we still don't know based on his current feelings for Mu Huanqing. But what if he thinks his woman has slept with another man? Tell , would he kill then?"
"So, Second Young Master ans we need to find a way to make Song Mobei believe that Mu Huanqing is his woman and when his feelings for her have reached a certain point, we expose Fang Ren's affair? To provoke him into a rage to kill?" a man said.
"That way, who would suspect us of orchestrating this? Even if soone uncovers the truth, as people from the Fang Family, we can pin the bla on Fang Ren, making the world believe that even the Fang Family won't stand with Fang Ren. Then it will seem justified for Song Mobei to have killed him; Song Mobei won't face any punishnt, and it won't spill over onto us," Fang Ye said with a smile.
"When the ti cos, the engagent between Bai Qi and Fang Ren will dissolve on its own, and then my father can go to the old man of the Bai Family with a few words, shifting the engagent onto Liqun. Our dream world will then arrive as expected."
"Excellent! Then let's begin with Song Mobei!"
...
After a long while, only Fang Ye remained in the private room. He walked over to the window, looked out at the vast expanse of Tianjiang, and then lifted his gaze to the hovering Void Hole in the sky.
His expression suddenly beca extrely excited, "What should be a great era of human evolution is t with resistance against the Void which bestows humans with Cultivation abilities, ha! Fools! This world needs to be purified! Survival of the fittest, only the strong deserve to live! This will be a baptism from the gods!"
