BXBX NOVEL Chapter 261: Chapter 356: Various Thoughts_1
"Yes, Qian Qian, you don\'t want to marry Fang Lizhong, and Fang Ren still has old feelings for you, why be so stubborn?" Liu Qianqian\'s uncle also spoke up.
"Actually, I think if you now go back to Fang Ren, there might still be a chance for things to change. After all, according to our servants\' observations, Fang Ren\'s relationship with Bai Qi does not seem as good as it appeared during the grand event," Liu Qianqian\'s aunt added.
...
The whole dining table was suddenly filled with all sorts of advice, causing Liu Qianqian\'s emotions to flare to a breaking point.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, Liu Qianqian slammed her hand on the table, her gaze turning frosty as she looked at this group of profit-driven relatives.
"You\'re right, everything I\'m facing now is because I lack the power to resist!"
The expressions of everyone at the table froze; no one expected Liu Qianqian to make such a scene by slamming the table, something she had never done before.
Liu Qianqian continued, "You always coerce me with the debts of raising and teaching me, those things I cannot resist! Do you want me to have the power to resist? Fine, I\'ll resist now—resist the marriage to the Fang Family and resist you all!"
With those words, a crushing force of nature\'s spiritual energy suddenly erupted from her.
Hum—
This spiritual energy was not just the True Qi of cultivators; it formed a two-meter-wide purple vortex centered around Liu Qianqian herself, powerful enough that its suppressive force filled the entire private room.
For a moment, the highest cultivation level member of the Liu Family, Liu Dongfeng, who was at the Peak of the Yingyue Realm, could not help but widen his eyes, his aged face full of utter shock: "Blue Sky Realm! Early stage!?"
Liu Qianqian withdrew her hand from the table, her gaze still glacial as she scanned the crowd, "From today onwards, no one has the right to ask Liu Qianqian to do anything she doesn\'t want to do!"
As her voice fell, Liu Qianqian\'s figure started to blur, then she turned and vanished inside the private room. The door did not open, the window did not move; only the dumbstruck family remained.
Seconds later, the entire marble-supported wooden table and all the dishes on it turned to fine dust, flowing through the room like fog.
After a long while, Liu Dongfeng looked at the dust covering the floor, his expression utterly complex: "Is this truly a blessing for the Liu Family, or is it..."

"How did you end up here! The Ninth District has only just stabilized; do you want the Central Area to fire you from your position?"
On a bustling street in Tianjiang, Mu Qing Mountain was angrily berating Shang Han.
With a helpless smile, Shang Han replied, "Father-in-law, with Ran\'er causing such a commotion, how could I not come to see? What if someone has ill intentions towards him? At least I can protect him if I\'m here."
"You know nothing but nonsense!" Mu Qing Mountain roared, "Qing\'er is more worried about that boy than you are! What\'s the use of your concern! I see you\'ve come here just to stir up trouble! You won\'t be at peace until you pair Qing\'er and that boy together!"
Shang Han finally stopped imploring: "Ah, you also saw everything that happened today, Old Man. Ran\'er\'s strength is definitely a match for Qing\'er; they truly are a match made in heaven. Besides, no one knows better than you when Ran\'er started cultivating."
Mu Qing Mountain snorted coldly, then his gaze became somewhat complicated: "This Fang Ren Ran, I indeed underestimated him by far too much. I thought at most he was just very talented in cultivation, but I never expected him to be this powerful.
Regarding the marriage between the Bai Family and the Fang Family, I originally had no intention of interfering, but now that the boy has this ability and Qing\'er is fixated on him, I can only bite the bullet and make a fuss with this group of old men."
Hearing this, Shang Han laughed: "Father-in-law, you actually quite like Ran\'er, don\'t you?"
Mu Qing Mountain scoffed: "Like my ass! My granddaughter is a once-in-a-generation prodigy, and she\'s been utterly ruined by him!"
"Then why did you give him seven years of time initially?"
"I... that was because I pitied Qing\'er."

In the back courtyard of the Tianjiang Bai Family, Bai Chaojin sat on a lounge chair, looking up at the night sky with deep eyes, deeply shaken by the events of the day.
Fang Ren Ran, this chess piece that he\'d originally positioned early on, had actually managed to leap out of his chessboard and might even become an unexpected factor in his strategy.
What troubled him now was, if Fang Ren Ran insisted on being with Mu Hui Qing and Mu Hui Qing desperately resisted the Central Area\'s decision, how would things end up?
What could he do to continue his plans?
If he succeeded eventually, he would carry on with his plans until he created the strongest human, to break the current human situation facing the Void. If he failed, then he hoped Fang Ren Ran would continue to grow until he became a strong enough warrior to lead humanity in breaking free from the Void.
No matter whether he won or lost in this matter, in the end, he only hoped that humanity could reclaim their peaceful lands from the cruel grasp of the Void. He had seen too much of the Void\'s cruelty toward humans, and he didn\'t want the memories of the past decades to repeat themselves.
For this, he was willing to give up everything, even abandon humanity.
The ancients stopped wars with wars, and now he was trading the lives of his kin for the peace of their future. He felt he hadn\'t done anything wrong; he only thought his ideas were too advanced, so much so that many couldn\'t understand them.
"Fang Ren Ran, oh Fang Ren Ran, what surprise will you bring me the day after tomorrow?"
------
Within the forbidden grounds behind Fang Family\'s mountain, Fang Ye sat with a bitter look on his face in front of Patriarch of Fang family Fang Yun Zhong, narrating everything he had witnessed that day.
"Mu Hui Qing?" Fang Yun Zhong frowned slightly: "Based on your previous descriptions of her, if she has broken through to the Yingyue Realm, then if I went out now, I would be merely laying my own life before her to take."
"There\'s no helping it, Grandfather. That Mu Hui Qing is too strong. Not just in True Qi, but even in formations and Spirit Forms, she possesses peerless and top-notch skills! Your physical body has not yet stabilized, and although your realm might surpass hers, your chances of victory are almost non-existent," Fang Ye said with a distressed look on his face.
Fang Yun Zhong stood up and gazed out at the world beyond the barrier, a tinge of melancholy crossing his gaunt face: "This world, all its people are too extreme, especially in their view of the Void, which is clearly a step in human evolution but they insist on treating it as an apocalyptic enemy. How sad! How lamentable!"
"Grandfather, we must employ some cruel methods, or else we\'ll never be able to make the world realize the importance of the Void," said Fang Ye.
Fang Yun Zhong looked up at the black Void Hole above his head and murmured: "Since ancient times, human history has been drenched in blood, and the fundamental goal has always been to achieve better evolution. The Void is the future of humanity. For that, any amount of bloodshed is worthwhile."
