Chapter 145: Chapter 143: Bai Qi's Breakthrough_1
"Who else could it be?"
"Hehe..."
Bai Qi, sprawled on the table, suddenly showed a silly smile and said, "My grandpa said that\'s not real liking. You\'ve only seen her once, and you haven\'t even spent time together... It doesn\'t count as liking."
"What do you know, kid." Fang Ren shook his head.
He couldn\'t exactly tell her now that he and Mu Huanqing already had a child; knowing her notions of "spousal duty," she would definitely see that as a great disrespect towards her, and who knows what kind of chaos she might stir up afterward.
"Hmph, I think his reasoning is unreliable too. Although I haven\'t spent much time with Brother Song and we\'ve met rarely, I\'m sure I like him." Bai Qi said.
"Ah, right, the older generation\'s ideas really are different from ours," Fang Ren nodded.
Bai Qi suddenly got up from the table, her groggy face nodding emphatically: "That\'s true, but you must never fall for me, I can\'t be with you, and I don\'t want you to be heartbroken because of me."
"Alright, go back to the dorm and sleep." Fang Ren spoke.
Bai Qi shook her head: "Don\'t want to go."
"Think about it, if you really sleep here all day, it would damage the Bai Family\'s image."
"This... alright then."
Upon hearing the key phrase about family image, Bai Qi immediately got up and turned to leave. But just as she was about to take a step, she tripped over the leg of a nearby table.
Crash—
Seeing her whole face about to hit the ground, Fang Ren was about to catch her with True Qi; after all, it was better to have as little physical contact as possible between them.
But just as he was about to activate his True Qi, he suddenly remembered an important issue—that his own realm had broken through so much unexpectedly, which would definitely be noticed by Chen Cheng, who was covertly protecting Bai Qi, and might raise suspicions.
After a fleeting moment of thought, Fang Ren grabbed Bai Qi\'s arm with his hand, narrowly saving her from a head-first encounter with the ground.
"So sleepy." Bai Qi said with a tired voice.
"Just sit here for now, I\'ll ask the class leader to come pick you up," Fang Ren said.
Bai Qi laid her head back down on the table and hummed, "Humph, such a good opportunity to take advantage, and you\'re giving it up."
"Am I that sleazy?"
Fang Ren, a vein popping in his head, was about to take out his phone to call Liu Qianqian, but then he suddenly realized—his phone had already shattered in the previous battle, not even a card remained.
Feeling very helpless, Fang Ren said, "Wait here for me, I\'ll go find a female classmate."
"Can\'t you use True Qi? Just use your True Qi to send me back, getting someone is too much trouble," Bai Qi said.
Fang Ren stiffened; now what? Using True Qi would expose his realm, which would make Chen Cheng suspicious.
After a brief pause, Fang Ren suddenly thought of his Giant Tree Spirit Phase. Although Qianye was asleep, this thing did not sleep. It could not talk, but its combat power was even stronger than Qianye\'s, and its healing ability was top-notch.
More importantly, he could use the Spirit Form without activating True Qi, perfectly concealing himself.
"Qianye."
Fang Ren softly called out in his consciousness, and a grey tendril stretched out from his hand, wrapping around Bai Qi\'s arm.
Now that the war was over, Bai Qi could run around everywhere, even dance on the ruins of Linglong Bay, and Chen Cheng wouldn\'t be able to catch any Nightfall Members.
"What is this?" Bai Qi asked groggily, looking at the grey tendril wrapped around her arm, then frowned at Fang Ren.
Fang Ren offhandedly said, "Qianye, heal her quickly."
Buzz—
A red aura suddenly surged from the tendril, passing through the veins on the tendril into Bai Qi\'s arm.
As the red aura entered Bai Qi\'s body, her panda eyes visibly returned to normal, and her weary complexion began to glow with health.
Bai Qi blinked, looking enchanted at the tendril hanging on her arm: "You have this ability?"
"I didn\'t expect it either; I thought it could only heal physical injuries, but it seems it can also restore the spirit," Fang Ren said.
"Such a miraculous power, even more complex than my wood attributed recovery power," Bai Qi said in amazement.
"Alright Qianye, stop the power."
Fang Ren nodded, beginning to tell Qianye through his Divine Sense that it could retract.
But just then, he froze; it seemed Qianye wasn\'t listening to him, the energy transferred from the tendril wouldn\'t stop.
Fang Ren was stunned, staring at his Spirit Form, and said, "Stop."
Buzz—
...
At that moment outside in some part of the sky, someone in yellow clothes watched the scene unfold, then quickly turned and left with an exasperated smirk on their face.
"It\'s not just the Central Area departments, the Spiritual Root itself is helping. How can these two not end up together?"
...
Time ticked by slowly, and the energy on the tendril continued transferring, supplying nourishment for growth to Bai Qi\'s Spiritual Root.
Fang Ren tilted his head, his eyebrows deeply furrowed. The tendril wasn\'t responding to him at all.
It was all too sudden, and he felt very helpless.
After a while, the tendril finally began to show signs of loosening; the red aura suddenly disappeared and swiftly retracted back into Fang Ren.
Buzz—
Just as the tendril retracted, a silver sigil burst forth from behind Bai Qi and hung mid-air.
Pop pop pop—
The silver sigil in mid-air shattered, which was the dispersing Spirit Seal her grandfather had set for her.
As the seal shattered, a powerful pressure emanated from Bai Qi, filling the entire classroom.
"This is..."
Fang Ren was startled, watching the True Qi of wood attribute pouring out of Bai Qi, his pupils twitching uncontrollably.
"The Xuanyang Realm?!"
