Chapter 148: Chapter 146: Encounter with Su Sen_1
```
Liu Qianqian headed straight for the campus registrar's office after leaving the teaching building and obtained a set of keys to the surveillance room from the new registrar.
The surveillance room at Baili University was always locked throughout the year, and no one would enter unless something significant happened on campus that necessitated an investigation.
Once inside the surveillance room, Liu Qianqian immediately called up the footage from the classroom at noon. She wasn't overly interested in knowing what had transpired; her intent was to delete the footage.
After all, if what had happened between Fang Ren and the princess in the classroom was seen by others, it wouldn't be good.
However, after pulling up the surveillance, Liu Qianqian couldn't help but be curious about what exactly had occurred before. Fang Ren didn't seem like the type to do such a thing, and if he truly were to do it... it should have been with her.
Gradually, the image of Fang Ren appeared on the surveillance video, and Liu Qianqian began watching intently.
But after more than ten minutes of the footage, nothing had happened between the two besides conversation and sharing some food.
"I really did misunderstand him," Liu Qianqian thought, suddenly feeling somewhat relieved.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Fang Ren's Spirit Form suddenly went out of control on the surveillance screen, tangling the two of them together, creating a moment that appeared rather intimate.
Liu Qianqian frowned; she knew Fang Ren's Spirit Form was a miraculous little tree person, living, and it knew certain things that humans were not aware of, such as her constitution.
The footage continued, and Liu Qianqian's frown deepened with each passing moment. From her perspective as an observer, it looked like Qianye was orchestrating a match between Fang Ren and Princess Bai Xi.
Especially when Princess Bai Xi suddenly made a breakthrough, Liu Qianqian became even more certain of her speculation. Qianye's awareness surpassed human understanding, and there must be something about Princess Bai Xi that was of great help to Fang Ren; otherwise, it wouldn't have made such a senseless gesture.
For instance, the fruit Fang Ren had given her that day, she didn't believe it was custom-tailored by Master Qing'an at all—it was clearly a real fruit; how could it be artificially synthesized?
"Fiancés… arranged since childhood?"
Liu Qianqian suddenly felt she understood something, "Could it be that the reason why their marriage was arranged is due to some kind of complementarity in their constitutions?"
Liu Qianqian promptly deleted the video segment and cleared the computer's memory records, ensuring that this footage could never be recovered.
Leaving the surveillance room, Liu Qianqian felt more convinced of her own speculations.
Because Fang Ren had only recently started cultivating and had a low cultivation level, and just a month before, he was completely ordinary, while Princess Bai Xi was still the most talented cultivator on Earth.
If there wasn't some special connection between their constitutions, why would the head of the Bai Family allow such a talented granddaughter to marry an ordinary person? It seemed fraught with skepticism.
"If those two are truly fated to be together, then what about the relationship between the fool and Xuan Nv…"
Liu Qianqian couldn't help but worry for Fang Ren; his love life was indeed full of obstacles. When he liked her, she had to refuse him to protect him, and now that he liked Xuan Nv, this situation had arisen.
It seemed like everything that happened didn't want Fang Ren to have a peaceful romance or marriage.
Liu Qianqian had only just left the surveillance room when she saw Fang Ren approaching from not far away.
Fang Ren also saw her and couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed, but he quickly put that embarrassment aside and ran over to Liu Qianqian.
"What, you came to delete the surveillance?" Liu Qianqian looked at him disapprovingly.
"Of course. It would tarnish Princess Bai Xi's image if others saw that kind of thing," said Fang Ren.
"Then why didn't you bring the key? Or ask me to get it for you?" Liu Qianqian asked.
Fang Ren chuckled awkwardly and said, "Seeing how much you seemed to dislike me just now, I didn't dare to approach you."
```
"So you didn't have the key, what were you planning on doing?"
"Uh, kicking it down, smashing it open," Fang Ren laughed. "I'll just say I accidentally smashed it during a sudden breakthrough in my realm, and I'll compensate for it afterward."
"Yeah, after you smash it, you call me to put in a good word for you, right?" Liu Qianqian said.
"I didn't have much of a choice, did I? If I'd gone to the administrative office to borrow a key, they definitely wouldn't have given it to me, and if I had tried to call you, it's very likely you wouldn't have answered," Fang Ren explained.
Actually, his phone had already been broken before, not that he didn't want to call, but that he simply couldn't.
"You really are so stupid!"
Liu Qianqian gave him a look, "I've already deleted the surveillance records for you guys."
"Ah? That fast?" Fang Ren was stunned.
"What else? You think I would just sit by and watch Princess Bai Xi's scandal get seen by others?"
"You thought it through pretty well."
"Well-thought? I'm practically cleaning up after you like a mom following a kid who's peed his pants!" Liu Qianqian said displeased.
Fang Ren was stunned, "I didn't do anything indecent, didn't you watch the surveillance footage?"
Liu Qianqian walked past him without stopping, a look of displeasure on her face, "I did watch. I misunderstood you before, sorry about what I said."
Fang Ren quickly followed, a look of confusion on his face, "You've seen it and still accuse me of acting indecent, what do you mean?"
"It means nothing; I just wanted to say, I'm willing."
Fang Ren shook his head helplessly, "Liu Qianqian, you weren't like this before."
"That's right, I've changed!" Liu Qianqian said huffily. "I changed the moment you stopped liking me."
"Hey, why suddenly bring up the past?"
"Because I want to bring it up, it's none of your business."
Liu Qianqian walked on, her face expressing utter indifference.
As the two bickered and bantered, they passed by the academic building, only to see a group of students from Baili University's Cultivation System approaching from the distance, with last year's provincial third placer, Su Sen, at the forefront.
The group had about twenty or so people, their presence aggressive, especially Su Sen with his face wrapped in gauze, his expression extremely angry and annoyed.
"Are they here to make trouble again?"
Upon seeing Su Sen, Liu Qianqian couldn't help but frown.
Fang Ren, watching the menacing group approach, laughed, "They must not be content, this guy was pretty embarrassed last time he got beaten up."
"He's embarrassed?" Liu Qianqian said. "He slashed such a big gash across your chest."
"I'm not talking about that time." Fang Ren pointed at the gauze on Su Sen's face. "I'm talking about that time there."
