Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Wariness of One's Own Kind_1
After running all the way out of the mall, they hadn't seen the security guards chasing after them, so Fang Ren let out a sigh of relief. Although they were in the right, the mall owner and the staff inside were all on the other side, which could lead to a tricky situation hard to argue against.
"How about it, Hui Qing, don't you suddenly feel that there are all kinds of people in this world?" Fang Ren looked at Mu Huanqing beside him and said with a smile.
Mu Huanqing frowned slightly, saying, "That person was really weird. We clearly refused his kindness, yet he insisted on paying. What's even more despicable is he wanted to harm Ah Ran even though we didn't hurt him. I really don't understand why he would do that."
Seeing her like this, Fang Ren couldn't help but admire the purity of her heart.
He reached out and touched her soft silver hair, Fang Ren smilingly said, "His was not kindness; he was just trying to create a seemingly reasonable opportunity to get close to Hui Qing. He's a disgusting guy."
"Why would he want to get close to me?" Mu Huanqing was very puzzled.
"Because Hui Qing is so beautiful, he wants to snatch you away from me and make you his girlfriend."
"But I'm already Ah Ran's girlfriend. Why would he..."
"I've told you, not everyone is as good as you think. They can be unscrupulous for their own selfish desires, including murder, and they can even create misunderstandings you can see through, hoping you will hate me," Fang Ren said.
"Just because… they can't get someone else's girlfriend, they would do such a thing? And why destroy other people's relationships? That's simply unethical!" Mu Huanqing's expression was very troubled.
All of a sudden, she felt that all the beautiful fantasies she once had in her mind about her own kind had shattered. She had always thought that ordinary humans were kind-hearted, and the bad things they did were only out of necessity.
But now it seems she was completely wrong...
The man named Wang Cang, in order to capture her, didn't hesitate to use True Qi against an ordinary person like Ah Ran, which was extremely vile! Born with the ability of cultivation and not using it to benefit society was already bad enough, but to harm an innocent person was even worse.
What's more disgusting to her was that she had not expected some people's concept of love to include the thought of stealing someone else's girlfriend, which was appalling to her. This was the first time she felt such revulsion towards humans.
"Morality is nothing but a piece of paper in the hearts of some people. They don't care about it; they just want to reach their goals by any means necessary," Fang Ren said as he ruffled her hair. "Alright, be vigilant towards humans from now on.
Not everyone is kind, and some are very well-disguised though they have a dark heart. Hui Qing, you have to learn to judge for yourself."
"Okay."
Mu Huanqing nodded her head, then suddenly remembered the store owner who had grabbed her wheelchair that day, and a shiver ran through her.
She immediately clung to Fang Ren's arm, her expression a mix of disappointment and grievance, "I suddenly feel... in this city, only Ah Ran and my father are kind to me."
"What are you thinking? There are still many good people in the world." Fang Ren flicked her forehead with a laugh, he couldn't let her think the world was bleak.
"That day at school, you saw those two boys; they are pretty good. The ingredients I used to make the medicine to treat your legs were given by them," Fang Ren said.
"Who are they?" she asked.
"They are my good friends. Even though they don't always act reliably and their personalities are quite casual, but..."
As they walked, Fang Ren continued to tell Mu Huanqing about him, Li Xingwang and Jing Haichuan.
Ding—
A message popped up on his phone; it was from Li Xingwang. The message said the school's field trip buses had already left and they had called in a sick leave for him, and he would be there by noon.
Seeing this, Fang Ren then took Mu Huanqing to buy some personal clothes and packed some snacks in a travel bag.
After all, Mu Huanqing had been wearing the same two pieces of white clothing since arriving here, and Shang Han probably thought the task could be trusted to his future son-in-law, so he didn't buy any.
They hailed a taxi on the roadside, and once inside, Fang Ren couldn't help but be curious about what had happened before.
He was clearly hit by Wang Cang's True Qi, but he was unscathed, and that ball of True Qi... seemed to have been absorbed into his body in an instant, with no warning at all.
He couldn't make sense of it.
------
By the time Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing arrived at Jiulong Mountain by taxi, it was already past eleven. The class was just about to have their picnic.
Fang Ren booked a room in a lodge for two days and then ran up into the mountains with Mu Huanqing.
Because it was a school-wide outing, students from the school were scattered all over Jiulong Mountain. However, since it was for leisure, all the students were dressed casually or in sportswear, and Mu Huanqing mixed in without any issues, unnoticed as a non-student.
Fang Ren took Mu Huanqing all the way to the gathering spot of his classmates. He found the girls were collecting wood to make a fire and boil water, while the boys had gone to pick wild fruits or fish, the whole mountain filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
From afar, they could see Li Xingwang and Jing Haichuan shirtless, catching fish by the river. Fang Ren ran with Mu Huanqing towards them.
"Hey, Wanzi, do you think that's Ranzi?" Jing Haichuan questioned, his hands still in the water, frowning as he looked at the distance at Fang Ren who was approaching briskly.
Li Xingwang turned his head, furrowed his brow as well, eyeing the white-haired girl running alongside Fang Ren, then suddenly cursed, "Damn it! Just a few days and the kid's got a new girlfriend! Let's beat him up!"
In their minds, Ranzi's girlfriend was wheelchair-bound, so there's no way she could be walking in such a short span of time.
As he spoke, Li Xingwang picked up a stick from the riverbank and ran towards Fang Ren.
```
"Fuck! I invested 400,000 for that asshole to get a girlfriend, and he just dumped her like that!"
Jing Haichuan was also furious; he glanced around and saw that the only decent weapon had been grabbed by Li Xingwang, so he simply stretched his hands into the riverbed, scooped up a handful of stinky mud, and with a loud roar, he ran up the bank.
"Hey!"
When Fang Ren saw that the two had noticed him, he waved at them, but then he noticed something wasn't quite right.
Why were these guys looking so ferocious, approaching with firewood as if he owed them money and hadn't paid... Well, he did actually owe them money.
But even if he did owe money, that guy behind shouldn't be rushing over with a handful of stinky mud, right?
"You damn bastard! I'm going to break your fucking legs today!" Li Xingwang shouted as he raised his stick to strike someone.
"Holy shit! Have you guys lost your minds?"
Fang Ren immediately retreated with Mu Huanqing when he saw Li Xingwang charging over with a furious face.
Smack—
Li Xingwang's stick hit the ground and broke instantly, then he threw the stick aside and pointed forward with a stern face, shouting, "Company commander! Where's your motherfucking Italian cannon? Fire the motherfucker!"
"I'm firing now!"
Jing Haichuan roared and threw the stinky mud in his hand.
It hit its target with incredible accuracy... landing right on top of Li Xingwang's head... Instantly covering his red hair with stinky mud.
Giggle—
Li Xingwang's teeth made a grinding noise, and his inner fury was on the verge of exploding.
This was like playing a game where he was about to win by attacking the final tower, needing just one more hit, but there's that one idiot teammate who won't just hit the tower, instead he dances around before jumping into the enemy's fountain to show off, and ends up getting turned on by the enemies.
"Ah Ran, they're the bad guys too!"
Mu Huanqing immediately stopped, shook off Fang Ren's hand, her pupils turned silver in an instant, and she was about to angrily turn around.
"No!"
Seeing this, Fang Ren immediately ran back, grabbed her, and successfully prevented the brothers from wetting their pants.
"Jing Haichuan! How could you shoot like that!" Li Xingwang exploded with rage, grabbed a clump of mud from the ground, and was about to throw it back.
"Big brother Li! Hey, Big brother Li! Calm down! At times like these, we should stand united against the common enemy!" Jing Haichuan dodged the mud being thrown at him and shouted frantically.
Seeing this, Fang Ren rushed over: "What the hell? You're attacking me as soon as I come up?"
Li Xingwang saw Fang Ren coming and immediately grabbed and smacked his face, then pulled him close with a furious face and whispered, "Ranzi, are you fucking sick?"
"You two are the sick ones! Smacking faces just like that?" Fang Ren grabbed a handful of mud from his face, ready to slap it onto Li's face.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Li Xingwang took a glance at Mu Huanqing in the distance and then turned back, whispering, "What's with you switching girlfriends again? The last one was so good, so what if her legs had some issues? You sleep with her and then you ditch her?"
"What are you talking about?"
Fang Ren was completely confused.
"I'm telling you, the last girl may have had leg problems, but she was pure. She even came to school to find you in her wheelchair, showing she really cared about you. Can you stop being an asshole?" Li Xingwang frowned and said.
Fang Ren turned to look at Mu Huanqing. Today, Mu Huanqing was wearing a red tracksuit and had tied her silver hair into a ponytail with a head flower, her beautiful face fully exposed.
"Can't recognize her?" Fang Ren looked at Li Xingwang, bewildered.
"What do you mean 'can't recognize her'? Don't give me this bullshit now. Break up with her and get that girl back! I know you were a bit hurt by Liu Qianqian, but you can't turn into a scumbag!
How heartless do you have to be to hurt that wheelchair-bound girl?" Li Xingwang continued seriously.
"No, no, no, look closer, look closer, they're the same person." Fang Ren pointed at the distant Mu Huanqing.
"Huh?"
Li Xingwang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Mu Huanqing, with Jing Haichuan also leaning in; after staring for a few seconds, they were both stunned.
"Her... her legs are healed?" Li Xingwang was taken aback.
"Didn't you say there was no elixir to cure her legs in the world yet?" Jing Haichuan asked.
Fang Ren immediately entered into an Oscar-worthy acting mode, nostalgically saying, "Ah, I got really lucky with that. I just casually mentioned it to Master Qing'an on the Alchemist forum on a whim, and to my surprise, he replied.
He even wrote down a few herbs for me and told me an alchemy method, and then... I don't even know how it happened, but it was a success."
"Really?"
