From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Indeed, our organization naturally does not wish to kill the innocent. But there was an incident three years ago that gave our entire organization a severe lesson," Jian Qi\'er said.

"Go on."

Jian Qi\'er\'s gaze became sorrowful, and she let out a light sigh, "Our organization never used to kill witnesses. In fact, whenever innocent people were in danger, members of our organization would unhesitatingly stand up to help. We all wore Night Walk Robes and masks, hoping to spread the idea of human thought freedom. But unforeseen to us, reality was not as simple as we had imagined.

The Central Area only needed to make one statement to blacken our name, and the world started believing everything we did was with ulterior motives. From then on, we became an organization scorned by everyone."

Fang Ren said nothing, just silently nodded. Indeed, a single statement from the Central Area was enough to completely turn right into wrong, black into white.

Jian Qi\'er continued, "I was nineteen three years ago. That day, I was on a mission with Sister Chun, who was very kind to me. She was so strong that the target was already dead before I could make a move. There were three witnesses on the scene. When they saw Sister Chun kill someone, they were terrified and thought she would kill them too, so they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Sister Chun was too kind. Seeing them scared, she went over and spoke to them. She told them what the Nightfall Organization was about and that they had nothing to fear. However, less than a day after the incident, the Tianjiang Investigation Group arrived in the city where we were hiding, and Sister Chun was captured by them. The reason was those three witnesses at the scene.

They remembered the injuries Sister Chun received during the fight and her voice. They identified her in front of the Tianjiang Investigation Group, and in the end... Sister Chun was brutally killed."

"Those bastards from the Tianjiang Investigation Group even left her body in the wild to be eaten by wolves. Our leader couldn\'t bear her body being consumed by wolves and took a few people to collect Sister Chun\'s body. But what we didn\'t expect was that the Tianjiang Investigation Group had laid a trap there in advance.

They used Sister Chun\'s body to lure our leader and the others, and in the end, our organization suffered heavy losses and scattered to various places. That\'s why, from then on, a new rule was added to our organization: witnesses must be killed."

Fang Ren fell silent for a long while before speaking, "So, you\'re saying that if I hadn\'t given you the Space Ring, I would have been a dead body by nightfall?"

"Not necessarily," Jian Qi\'er shook her head. "I\'ve already said I haven\'t killed any innocent people to this day. If the witness that night hadn\'t been you, I don\'t know what I would have done."

Fang Ren nodded and then said, "Is the Central Area really that cruel, to ruthlessly eliminate anyone who opposes their thinking?"

"We\'re not opposed to their thinking. We believe in freedom of thought—they can think whatever they want. But they impose their thoughts on everyone and commit many inhumane acts, which we cannot tolerate," Jian Qi\'er said.

"What do you mean by \'inhumane acts\'? What specifically are they?" Fang Ren continued to inquire.

"The Indra Sky organization I told you about earlier is the secret organization of the Central District Command. To study stronger cultivation genes, they constantly subject middle and high-level practitioners to experiments, treating humans as if they were not humans at all. Besides, they demand that the world\'s strongest practitioners do not have the freedom to choose their spouses.

They forcibly require those practitioners to marry and have children with those who match their abilities. If the person disagrees or resists, the Central District Command will force the two to have children, no matter how cruel the methods," Jian Qi\'er explained.

After hearing this, a surge of anger welled up in Fang Ren\'s heart, and he clenched his fists, saying, "It seems I\'ve been too naïve. I thought that even if they opposed practitioners\' marriage issues, they\'d only use more humane methods to separate them. I didn\'t expect them to resort to such beastly tactics!"

Jian Qi\'er shook her head and sighed, "It\'s a sad time we live in. Almost everyone thinks the Central Area\'s philosophy is correct. Since the Void race is invading, it\'s only natural for humans to drive the invaders out of their homeland at all costs.

Countless excellent warriors are willing to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield but don\'t want their freedom of marriage to be constrained, or to be treated as experimental subjects, yet the upper echelons still exploit them under the pretext of \'doing whatever it takes for humanity.\' The upper echelons of society should be seen as corrupt, but in the eyes of most ordinary people, the human society they see is perfect and harmonious because the Central Area cuts off all cruel news too quickly and fabricates the truth.

The truth is always known to only a few."

Fang Ren furrowed his brow and remained silent, feeling great indignation. He had imagined the worst possible outcome for himself and Mu Huanqing.

If Mu Huanqing insisted on being with him, it would be the Central Area exerting ideological pressure through her family, or it would be the Fang Family objecting to their relationship. At worst, they might threaten his life to separate him from Mu Huanqing. These methods, while despicable, are arguably more humane.

But Fang Ren had not expected that the Central Area would not even consider these more humane methods at all. If Mu Huanqing disagreed, they would have just enforced measures to make her marry Song Mobei...

```

It was nothing like what he had imagined.

As Jian Qi\'er said now, all it took was one word from Central Area, and who knew if Xuan Nv had been forced. Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, Xuan Nv seemed to have married of her own free will.

The truth of the matter was known to only a few, while the majority were foolishly following the crowd...

Seeing his cold expression and silence, Jian Qi\'er shook her head and said, "The thing between you and Xuan Nv is far more complicated than you think."

"I know that now..." Fang Ren frowned and said, "Let\'s talk about Indra Sky, and why you\'ve been studying at this school for three years? Is it because your entire organization has been hiding here for three years?"

Jian Qi\'er nodded and said, "Alright, let\'s talk about Indra Sky first. Currently, only Central Area and our Nightfall Organization know of this organization. Even some of the major Aristocratic Families and high-ranking officials of Tianjiang are unaware of its existence. You are an exception.

Their main objective, as I\'ve just told you, is to conduct inhumane experiments to research higher Cultivation Genes. Our Nightfall Organization has been trying to disrupt Indra Sky\'s experiments to save the Cultivators being used for research, hence we are irreconcilable with the Indra Sky Organization.

As for your question about why I\'ve been studying here for three years, the main reason is that there are people related to Indra Sky Organization at Yangming University. My purpose in attending school is to enter without raising suspicion and to look for clues. Our organization suspects that there are large hidden laboratories of Indra Sky in both Yangming City and Linyang City.

To investigate this, we indeed have been stationed here for three years."

"No wonder you dress up like a fool every day, one can\'t tell it\'s the same person at all," Fang Ren said.

"Of course, after all, I also have a little celebrity status. If it were exposed, I would attract a lot of attention in the school, and then it would be difficult to do anything," Jian Qi\'er replied.

Fang Ren paused for a moment, took out his cell phone, opened the search webpage and said, "Your stage name is Jian Ye, right?"

"What, starting to take an interest in me now?" Jian Qi\'er laughed.

"I\'m just going to take a look since you\'ve told me your identity. I can\'t just ignore it," Fang Ren said and typed "Jian Ye" into the search page, which prompted many top news stories, listing Jian Ye\'s numerous film and TV works, songs, and variety shows she had been on.

The text was also accompanied by many beautiful photos of Jian Qi\'er, including her in school uniform, formal attire, casual wear, ancient costumes... there were even bikini shots.

On a certain website, she had more than sixty million fans, marking her as a very popular celebrity influencer.

"Surprisingly popular," Fang Ren said, somewhat astonished.

Jian Qi\'er\'s smile grew wider, "How about it, after looking at the photos, don\'t you think your lady\'s figure is top-notch?"

Fang Ren was taken aback, looked at the photos on his phone, nodded, and said, "Not quite as good as Qing\'er."

"..."
