From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"I'm sorry! Madame Xuan! I was just impulsive just now, and I had no idea you were here! I..."

Yang Lily knelt completely on the ground, her words incoherent, not knowing where to place her hands in the chaos.

"Are you trying to say that he did something inappropriate to your daughter?" Mu Hui asked coldly.

"No! Madame Xuan! I was just making an offhand comment, I didn't know he was that close to you..." Yang Lily quickly waved her hand to deny it.

With the current situation of the Void Hole Split and the wars against the Void Monsters becoming more frequent, anyone who could dine with Madame Xuan at this time couldn't possibly be a simple character.

"I'm asking you, what do you mean by that statement?" Mu Hui said coldly.

"I take it back! I take back what I said!"

Yang Lily, thinking that Mu Hui was angry because she had said she didn't agree with Fang Ren being with her daughter, quickly became flustered and said, "It's fine for the two of them to date for now, but Madame Xuan, our Qian Qian really can't lose her virginity! She is the Sacred Body of returning to the origin as Master Qing'an has said! Once she loses her virginity, she can't cultivate anymore!

They absolutely must not consummate their relationship!"

"Turns out, this guy dining with Madame Xuan is actually her daughter's boyfriend?"

"Ah, I think they should just break up early, who could stand having such a mother-in-law?"

"Yeah, she really looks down upon people, coming from a great family of Tianjiang, yet can raise someone with such low quality – I really don't understand, shouldn't people from great families have higher standards?"

"Lucky for this guy, he's in good terms with Madame Xuan. Otherwise, he would definitely be humiliated ruthlessly by this woman in the future."

"Speaking of which, what kind of ability does this guy have to be able to invite Madame Xuan for a meal at this time... This sort of thing, I bet even the Family Head of the Tianjiang Great Family can't do it, right?"

...

"Yang Lily! What are you blabbering about!"

By the side, Liu Qianqian nearly fainted on the spot when she heard Yang Lily's words.

She could never have imagined that in Yang Lily's eyes, her relationship with Fang Ren was that of boyfriend and girlfriend! And she wondered what Wu Hui had been telling her!

After hearing her words, Mu Hui's gaze grew even colder, as she pointed at Fang Ren behind her and staring at Yang Lily said, "I'll tell you now, no matter what kind of Sacred Body your daughter is, he is my Mu Hui's man! He has nothing to do with your daughter! If your Liu Family dares to harm his life, I dare to take the army of one district and trample down the gates of your Liu Family.

As for the price to be paid, I won't rest until the blood flows without end!"

Mu Hui's voice was icy as she spoke, the pressure from her bearing increased continuously upon Yang Lily. If Yang Lily were just a Chongshan Realm practitioner, she would probably be sprawled on the ground in incontinence by now.

As Mu Hui's words fell, the entire restaurant instantly fell silent.

The group of elders who had been nodding their heads and whispering to advise Fang Ren to break up quickly were stunned, and some of the younger people looked as dumbfounded.

They always felt like they must have misheard a certain part of the conversation.

Madame Xuan said... her man?

Ouch, how could it be, they must have misheard. Madame Xuan's future husband was definitely Song Mobei of the Tiandao Sword Sect. How could it be this young man from an ordinary university?

On the other side, Fang Ren slapped his forehead, a mess of black lines jumping over his head as he felt incredibly complicated.

How had he not anticipated Yang Lily would imagine his relationship with Liu Qianqian in such a way, but even more, he hadn't expected his fiancée's sister to so domineeringly declare in front of everyone, "He is my Mu Hui's man! He has nothing to do with your daughter!"

Qing'er's temperament was always so gentle, how could she suddenly become so domineering... and that was in front of so many people!

"I was wrong! Madame Xuan! I was wrong! Please don't do such a thing..."

Yang Lily kept saying, not daring to look up at Mu Hui.

Her mind was in total chaos, with no inclination to listen to Fang Ren's relationship with anyone else; she only heard the latter part of what Mu Hui said - if anything happens to Fang Ren, the entire army of one district would directly crush the Liu Family!

Liu Qianqian, seeing Yang Lily's pitiful state, couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions – this woman used to be a mother she admired and loved from the bottom of her heart, yet for some unknown reason, this woman completely changed ten years ago.

She wasn't graceful or dignified anymore and stopped teaching her morals or discussing arts to refine her temperament; the woman only knew about status and vanity, becoming increasingly sharp and mean-spirited...

Liu Qianqian turned her head away from the seemingly pitiful woman; she did not speak in defense of Yang Lily to Mu Hui because it was all brought upon by Yang Lily herself. Besides, Mu Hui would not really take action against Yang Lily, a human; Madame Xuan's status meant that many of Mu Hui's actions could lead to significant public controversy.

Mu Hui also noticed the sadness on Liu Qianqian's face, and immediately lifted the pressure on Yang Lily, saying, "I cannot understand why you, as a fellow human, persist in holding a superior attitude. You should apologize to everyone present; your arrogance has caused them trouble."

Feeling the pressure on her lifted, Yang Lily's mind also cleared a lot, and she immediately stood up and started speaking to the people in the restaurant, "I am sorry, I should not have used True Qi just for a disagreement, sorry for causing you trouble..."

Fang Ren saw the pain in Liu Qianqian's expression; he paused on the spot for a while but ultimately didn't speak. He always felt that whatever he said, it would only make Liu Qianqian lose more face, becoming even more awkward.

"You've warned him once, and I will warn you too. You've apologized, compensated, now leave," Mu Hui said as she retracted the white aura from her body and spoke.

Mu Hui couldn't let Yang Lily continue to lose face because she didn't want Liu Qianqian to be embarrassed as a consequence.

Mu Hui didn't have any ill feelings towards the girl Liu Qianqian.

Although Liu Qianqian also liked Fang Ren, there was a sense of rivalry in love, but in the end, Fang Ren was still with her, Mu Hui. She couldn't be too hard on Yang Lily at this time because she would feel like she was mixed up in personal vendetta due to the rivalry.

She wouldn't pursue personal vendetta; in fact, because Yang Lily was Liu Qianqian's mother, she tried to be more tolerant. But there were some things she would never tolerate.

If Yang Lily hadn't issued that warning to Fang Ren, Mu Hui wouldn't have chosen to show up at this time and do what she did. Sadly, Yang Lily insisted on pointing her gun at the person Mu Hui cared about most.

"Yes! Thank you, Madame Xuan, for your leniency!"

Yang Lily immediately turned to leave; she didn't dare stay a second longer. One reason was that she was facing Madame Xuan, and the other was that she really couldn't face the mockery from so many people.

"Also, about your daughter leaving the family, you should reflect more on the issues of yourselves," Mu Hui said, defending Liu Qianqian. She then seriously added, "I believe that human marriage should be free, not shackled."

"I, I understand, Madame Xuan!"

Yang Lily ran out without looking back. She couldn't afford to lose face anymore and also had no capacity to withstand the pressure; she had to flee quickly.

As Yang Lily turned to leave, Mu Hui looked at Liu Qianqian beside her and said with a somewhat helpless expression, "I have no ill intentions towards you. It was purely directed at her."

"I can see that," Liu Qianqian said, nodding sadly.

Mu Hui paused for two seconds before speaking again, "I hope you find the next boy you like and that you won't be bothered by family troubles."

Liu Qianqian smiled wryly, "Are you blessing me?"

"Sort of. I don't dislike you, in fact, I quite like you. But there are some things I won't compromise on, not a single bit," Mu Hui said, speaking words only she and Liu Qianqian would understand.

After saying this, she turned to glance at Fang Ren. Catching her gaze, Fang Ren, wearing an awkward smile, walked to the front desk in full view of everyone and placed a banknote there before preparing to leave with Mu Hui.

Now that Madame Xuan's identity had been revealed, they couldn't continue with their meal.

Before leaving, Fang Ren comforted Liu Qianqian briefly, then as a concerned friend, said, "The school gates will be closing soon. You should hurry back and have a meal with Li Xinyue. Also, don't worry about the Pill Competition; you will definitely manage to achieve the ranking you wish for."

Liu Qianqian looked at Fang Ren who stood shoulder to shoulder with Mu Hui and managed to force a stiff smile, "You're aware the gates are closing soon, huh? Then you should head back earlier as well."

"I've got some things to take care of with Hui Qing," Fang Ren replied, "You should go back soon too."

"Well... then you guys go ahead with your business," Liu Qianqian said with a rigid smile.

Fang Ren, seeing her expression, didn't think too much into it, assuming she was sad because of the affairs involving her mother and the family.

Afterward, Fang Ren and Mu Hui left the small restaurant, and Liu Qianqian stood still.

Her stiff smile vanished, her face expressionless, her beautiful eyes filled with a layer of mist, full of heartache.

What did it mean that the school gates were about to close? Telling her to find Li Xinyue?

What did it mean that they had some things to do, telling her to go back early?

Isn't it just that he's not going back to school tonight? Isn't it just that he's going to share a bed with Mu Hui tonight? Isn't it just... just that she missed the step...

"Boss, can I have a bottle of white liquor?" Liu Qianqian approached the cashier and asked.

The boss looked at her and sighed, offering comfort, "Girl, it's not your fault about today. Every family has its problems, it's not right for an outsider like me to comment, but this bottle is on me. Don't be too sad."

"Thank you."

Liu Qianqian nodded and paid for the bottle anyway.

She left the small restaurant alone, with nothing but a bottle of white liquor.
