Chapter 176: Chapter 174: Clarifying Relationships_1



Mu Huanqing saw the sudden playful smile on his face, which had just been exceedingly serious, and knew he hadn't abandoned his previous idea.

Fang Ren pretended to be in a dilemma for a moment, then spoke, "Alright then, I won't do it."

Although he appeared to be in anguish and then seemed to have given up, it was still just a way to make Mu Huanqing feel a bit more at ease.

The stability of the Void Hole?

Who knew how many generations of struggle it would take to accomplish that, and by now, the conflict between the Central Area and the Nightfall Organization was already signaling the beginning of humanity's division.

Keeping the bigger picture in mind? Fang Ren wouldn't consider such a thing because he knew too much. It was impossible to unite humanity as long as the methods in the Central Area remained unchanged.

Mu Huanqing was somewhat reassured by his seemingly compliant attitude but still worried, "Ah Ran, I don't even know what realm you're in now, but Xia Fu Lan is in the early stages of the Yingyue Realm. How could you possibly defeat her? Not to mention this talk of revenge."

Upon hearing her, Fang Ren suddenly remembered he hadn't yet shared the good news about his breakthrough to the Chongshan Realm. He quickly said, "What do you think, with my talent, how long should it take for me to catch up to Xia Fu Lan?"

After some thought, Mu Huanqing replied, "The last time I saw you, Ah Ran, you had reached the middle period of the Yuanxin Realm. By now, you've probably broken through to the peak of the Yuanxin Realm or the early stage of the Ruoshui Realm. Your cultivation talent is much higher than mine.

If you can maintain this cultivation speed, and her cultivation speed doesn't change, I estimate you could surpass her within twelve years."

After hearing her answer, Fang Ren allowed his True Qi to slowly spread out and asked, "How long do you think I need now?"

Because he had taken a pill that concealed his aura in the past, Mu Huanqing couldn't determine his realm unless he released his True Qi.

As the gray vital energy emanated from Fang Ren, the worried expression on Mu Huanqing's face was swiftly overtaken by shock.

"Chongshan Realm... middle period?" Mu Huanqing was completely stunned.

If the last time she returned, seeing Fang Ren quickly advance to the Yuanxin Realm felt surprising, then this time, she was utterly terrified!

"According to what your Grandpa Bai said, I've already reached the two-year goal he set for me. Now, he must secure another five years for me, so just wait for me to come and marry you," Fang Ren said with a smile.

"No... Ah Ran, the point is, how did you make this breakthrough?"

None of what her grandpa had said in the past mattered to Mu Huanqing right now; all she wanted to know was how on Earth Fang Ren had reached this realm. Was she dreaming? In just over a month's time, how could Fang Ren have leaped from a mortal without a Spiritual Root to the mid-period of the Chongshan Realm?

She felt it was something she couldn't comprehend, something so unbelievable that mentioning it to anyone would make them think the speaker was insane.

Fang Ren explained, "Actually, I'm not sure myself why I've suddenly reached this realm. All I do every day is eat, sleep, and cultivate, pouring all my spare time into it."

Of course, he couldn't tell her about entering the Asura path, undergoing non-human torments, and using the Sickle she had given him to slaughter more than ten thousand members of the Tianjiang Investigation Group to increase his cultivation speed. His advancement came after killing tens of thousands of people.

"Just daily cultivation? Nothing else?" Mu Huanqing looked at him incredulously, "When I used to cultivate, I would sleep and eat once every three days, yet I never progressed as quickly as you."

"Maybe the heavens just want to see true lovers unite," Fang Ren suggested.

"That's not the issue here. It hasn't even been two months, and you've already had fourteen breakthroughs!" Mu Huanqing's expression was now completely at odds with her temperament as she spoke to Fang Ren.

"Now, estimate for me, how long would it take for me to catch up to that Xia Fu Lan?"

"If you continue to break through at this rate... a conservative estimate would be that eight years would be more than enough. But the further you advance in cultivation, the harder it gets. Ah Ran, you've been advancing so quickly that you might encounter many difficult bottlenecks later on," Mu Huanqing cautioned.

"I progressed too swiftly in my own cultivation in the past, which led to a lack of emotional maturity and severe difficulties with each subsequent breakthrough, risking my life to achieve my current level of power."

Fang Ren nodded. As someone from Earth, he was well aware of the difficulties of the cultivation path.

Originally just an ordinary mortal, he had never thought about engaging in cultivation, let alone revealing his identity as 'Qing'an' to the world, and he certainly hadn't contemplated clashing with the Central Area.

Uncle Han had been educating him since he was young to stay low-profile, to live an ordinary life, and not to strive for superiority.

But given the current situation, keeping a low profile was no longer possible, and he had long been detached from ordinariness since becoming 'Qing'an'.

With people determined to ruin his happiness, competition and striving were forced upon him.

The two continued to stroll and chat in the park for about ten minutes. Fang Ren felt it was about time to return.

Mu Huanqing saw he was about to return to the restaurant, so she voiced the last minor question in her heart, "Why did you say I was your sister when you came out with me just now?"

Fang Ren looked at her and smiled, "What's on your mind?"

Mu Huanqing blinked and said, "I wasn't thinking anything. I just feel there was no need for you to lie to her about that. You could've just told her the truth. Besides, Grandpa Bai must know about us, Xiao Qi, being his granddaughter, should also know, right?"

When Fang Ren heard Mu Huanqing refer to Bai Chaojin as Grandpa Bai, his heart filled with resignation. She had no idea what kind of figure Bai Chaojin was in the Central Area, and even less so that the moment she wished to be with him, Bai Chaojin could instantly become her enemy.

Perhaps in the past, when she was with the Bai Family and Bai Qi, Bai Chaojin indeed seemed to be a kind grandfather, but that was only when she wasn't known as "Xuan Nv." The moment she possessed enough strength to be included in the "Cultivators' marriage" system of the Central Area, Bai Chaojin would completely stop treating her as a junior but rather as a "traitor" who had the power to act but chose not to.

It was outrageous to think that even Xiao Qi, Bai Chaojin's own granddaughter, was treated by him as a mere experimental subject.

"Xiao Qi still doesn't know about our relationship. Maybe no one from the Bai Family has told her," said Fang Ren.

"If her family hasn't told her, why didn't you tell her earlier?" asked Mu Huanqing, looking at him with a rather serious gaze after listening to him.

Fang Ren, catching the beautiful eyes of Mu Huanqing trained on him, felt embarrassed instead of appreciative.

The look in her eyes as a mother... always felt a bit off.

Fang Ren felt that her gaze carried a bit of misunderstanding, so he quickly explained the concept of fidelity in this "fiancee" relationship to her in detail.

After hearing his explanation, Mu Huanqing thought there was nothing strange about it. Bai Qi, having been influenced by her family's ideology from a young age, would believe that if one of the two engaged persons became too intimate with another of the opposite sex before the engagement was dissolved, it would constitute a betrayal.

Furthermore, both were public figures of Tianjiang, and if they were to establish another romantic relationship with someone else while still bound by an engagement, it would certainly reflect poorly on the other person.

Mu Huanqing found it not difficult to understand Bai Qi's perspective on this matter.

"So when do you plan to tell her about us?" Mu Huanqing asked.

"I'll explain it to her during the alchemy competition," Fang Ren said. "Song Mobei is also going to the finals, right? She wants to meet him. This way, I can properly guide her and help her let go of that concept."

"What does Song Mobei going to the finals have to do with Xiao Qi?" Mu Huanqing failed to understand.

"Don't you know she likes Song Mobei?" Fang Ren asked.

"Not really clear on that, but the last time she met me, she hadn't even seen Song Mobei. Besides, it seems she went to the Tiandao Sword Sect for cultivation last year and studied Sword Dao there for three months. I guess that's when it happened," said Mu Huanqing.

"She told me this in person."

"Well, since she likes Song Mobei, just take her to see him. But when she sees Song Mobei, make sure no one else sees, otherwise if others see her in an intimate relationship with Song Mobei before your engagement is dissolved, they will definitely talk behind your back," Mu Huanqing said. "However, Xiao Qi probably has her own judgment on this; she wouldn't want you to lose face because of her."

"She's clear on that," Fang Ren said.

As they talked, the two walked back in the direction of the original restaurant.

"Speaking of, when we're at the finals, with both you and Song Mobei there, a lot of people will probably say you two are a perfect match, right?" Fang Ren said.

"What, are you jealous?"

Mu Huanqing laughed as she hugged his arm.

"How could I not be jealous? You are my wife," he replied somewhat seriously. Although saying it made him seem petty, since there really was no romantic connection between Mu Huanqing and Song Mobei, when it comes to love, who can truly be magnanimous?

Anyway, Fang Ren would certainly not take it well hearing others claim his wife and another man were a match made in heaven.

Moreover, at that time, he wouldn't dare to publicly acknowledge his relationship with Mu Huanqing. Other people would speak without restraint, leaving him feeling awkward, angry, and powerless.

Mu Huanqing was well aware of these things. When the time came and remarks flew among the crowd, without any way for Fang Ren to silence the thousands, he would be in distress.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at him intently, "How could I bear to see you wronged? Trust me, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you, not even with words."
