From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

The Sevth Elder, standing in the cter of the ara, appeared as composed as an old dog on the surface, but inside, he was in a panic.

These aristocratic studts simply had no regard for their lives, oply saying to her face that the princess was ugly—how suicidal could they get?

Seeing that the tire sce suddly quieted down, the Sevth Elder glanced side-eyed towards Bai Qi's direction, noticing that the princess did not make any moves, which somewhat settled his heart before he proceeded to deliver a lgthy discourse on the issue of manners.

Fang R stood still in his original spot and did not say anything to Bai Qi; after all, ev if he did speak, the girl would most likely ignore him, so he simply closed his eyes and siltly resumed cultivating his soul force with his mind's eye.

However, just as he oped his mind's eye, he noticed amongst the crowd of onlookers not far away, a shining soul, whose brilliance was much weaker than Bai Qi's, but who was presumably of the Yingyue Realm, also a very top-level powerhouse.

And next to this person of the Yingyue Realm stood another soul he was very familiar with, whose realm resided in the Azure Sky Realm.

Ssing this, Fang R oped his eyes and looked towards the crowd of onlookers nearby, only to see an elderly man in a robe standing on the spectator's platform—it was other than Lin Bozhong.

The elixir competition was not like a high school examination that required strict seclusion of the vue; here, spectators were allowed, of course, but they also must respect the order and rules of the examination area.

Most who came here were either headmasters or the parts of some aristocratic studts, as well as influtial local figures.

Upon seeing Lin Bozhong, Fang R noticed he was laughing and talking with an older man in brown attire next to him—the soul force of the Yingyue Realm he had just ssed was obviously emanating from this older man in brown.

In this place, able to converse with Lin Bozhong in such a manner and with such a high realm, Fang R casually guessed the idtity of the old man—it was evidtly the Bai Family's Ch Chg.

Though Lin Bozhong was all smiles on one side, Ch Chg had a troubled frown on his face; he was probably puzzled about being knocked unconscious the day before.

...

"Young Brother Lin, are you sure no suspicious characters appeared a the princess after I was knocked unconscious yesterday?" Ch Chg asked with a baffled expression.

"Brother Ch, are you really not joking with me?" Lin Bozhong asked with a helpless smile and shook his head: "At your level, who could knock you out without you noticing?"

"Of course it's true!" Ch Chg's frown deeped: "I'm baffled too. I don't know what happed. I just suddly fell, and wh I woke up, it was already the early hours."

"This..." Lin Bozhong's face also became a bit more serious as he said, "But someone who could knock you out without your awaress must be at least of the Xuanyang Realm, right? What would someone of the Xuanyang Realm gain by knocking you out? You didn't lose anything, and both the princess and Young Master Fang are safe and sound."

"That's why I'm ev more puzzled! That's why I came to ask you if there were any suspicious characters a them yesterday," Ch Chg said.

"Ah, there really wer't any." Lin Bozhong laughed and said, "Brother Ch, could it be that you've had some fluctuations in your cultivation lately, perhaps approaching a breakthrough? Maybe no one knocked you out, but your realm's instability affected your spirit."

Lin Bozhong's face bore a smile, but inwardly... he was smiling too.

The person responsible for incapacitating Ch Chg yesterday—he was very clear about it. To knock him out without his knowledge and without causing harm would require strgth of at least the mid-phase of the Xuanyang Realm, if not higher.

However, for someone like Mu Huanqing, who was at the peak of the Xuanyang Realm, such a feat would be child's play.

Of course, Lin Bozhong wouldn't tell him that Madame Xuan had visited yesterday and had spt at least nine hours in a hotel room with his family's young master.

Looking at the elder butler of the Bai Family before him, a powerful figure in his own right, with an expression of doubt about life, Lin Bozhong couldn't help wanting to laugh.

"That's impossible, my realm has be very stable lately..."

Ch Chg supported his chin with one hand, his face full of bewildermt.

"Th this matter is unexplainable. Surely it's not possible that some supreme powerhouse suddly took a malicious pleasure in knocking you out for fun," Lin Bozhong said.

"This is going to be the death of me," Ch Chg continued to doubt his life while Lin Bozhong glanced at Fang R standing inside the ara, his heart filled with slight helplessness.

One wonders how long Madame Xuan and Young Master Fang's clandestine affair can dure, giv that Princess Bai Xi and Young Master Fang are only two years away from graduation, and marriage will surely embark upon its journey. On the other hand, with Madame Xuan being three years older than Young Master Fang, the urgcy is bound to be ev greater.

Just as their conversation had come to a close, many of the aristocratic studts' parts voiced their dissatisfaction with the Sevth Elder, who had be speaking on stage.

"What's wrong with the Sevth Elder of the Orchid Bamboo Guild today? He's be droning on and on, just going on about quality, quality. Is it necessary to mtion those two from Mediocre University like that?"

In the spectator stands, a middle-aged man, garbed in spldid attire, expressed his displeasure.

"Exactly, our childr are here to compete, not to list to him preach about the grand principles of life. Isn't he just a proctor? Do our childr need his guidance?" scoffed a fashionably dressed woman with a look of disgust.

"It was already shameful ough for those two inadequate studts from low-ranking universities to come here and lose face. In this day and age, they have no sse, nor do they consider who they're up against before daring to show up. They're simply bringing humiliation upon themselves! What's wrong with calling them out?"

...

Above in the spectator stands, some disruptive noises erupted from the parts of the aristocratic youths.

Of course, many aristocrats remained silt. In their view, only those who have weathered experice are suited to their status. If the Earth's aristocrats were all like those few causing a ruckus, the Earth would have no future.

The discordant voices a him evidtly tered Ch Chg's ears without missing a beat. He hadn't erupted in anger previously wh the noble youths insulted Bai Qi because the Sevth Elder had verbally scolded and educated them.

Moreover, the Princess did not wish to expose her idtity, which is why he had refrained from anger.

But now, this group of aristocrats in the spectator seats had directly raged him. Did they think they had the right to insult the Princess?

"This bunch of social trash! How did they ev ascd to the upper echelons of society!"

Ch Chg, seething with anger, was about to mobilize his True Qi to haul an aristocrat onto the stage to make an example.

Next to him, Lin Bozhong quickly grabbed his arm, saying, "Brother Ch, with your status, why stoop to their level?"

"The Princess has be insulted! How can I tolerate this!" Ch Chg frowned. "I can't understand how you remain so calm, Young Master Fang, wh you're the one being insulted. Why stop me?"

Lin Bozhong replied, "Brother, if the Princess and Young Master Fang truly couldn't bear it, they would have already revealed their idtities and slapped these people's faces. There must be a reason why they're not gaging with these people. If you act now and expose their idtities abruptly, it won't be good."

"So what's the differce if I act now or after the alchemy competition concludes, wh Young Master Fang fails to produce a potion and they both get ridiculed by this mob?" Ch Chg said.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Bozhong showed a faint smile and said, "Just watch, Brother Ch. Young Master Fang will use his own way to slap these people's faces."

Ch Chg furrowed his brow again, "I really don't understand what you're thinking."

Having said that, he refrained from taking action, after all, the Princess had indeed come out to dure hardships this time. If Fang R could protect her in the d, it would actually hance the relationship betwe the two.

That was what Ch Chg most hoped to see.

"Our Young Master Fang is good at everything, it's just sometimes he's excessively low-profile," Lin Bozhong said with a smile.

"Low-profile?" Ch Chg was puzzled. "Young Master Fang's achievemts in alchemy don't seem to be very promising..."

"It's normal to be modest."

"Are you suggesting... that Young Master Fang's alchemy talt far surpasses what I've se?"

"Ah, Brother Ch, you've got it wrong. It's not just far surpassing," said Lin Bozhong with a knowing smile. "It's going to be a revolution!"

Lin Bozhong wouldn't dare to be certain about other things, but wh it came to Young Master Fang's alchemy talt, he would bet his life on it. Young Master Fang definitely had the level of a Zone One Alchemist!
