From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Sports Day_1

Fang Ren considered for a moment and thought the best way to repay the money quickly would still be to give away pills.

But if he was to give pills, he certainly couldn't give Gathering Qi Pills, that stuff was quite cheap, just thirty thousand for one, four hundred thousand could buy thirteen.

If he suddenly brought out so many Gathering Qi Pills, it would be hard to fabricate a story. It's better to give something more expensive, like the kind that costs over fifty thousand each, and then when Jing Haichuan asks, he could say they were brought back by Uncle Han from outside.

Yep, perfect, that's the plan.

Just as Fang Ren was contemplating this, Li Xingwang walked in with a face full of annoyance.

"What's up, Old Li?" Seeing this, Fang Ren asked immediately.

"Isn't it all because of your damn self?" As soon as Li Xingwang saw Fang Ren, he cursed and threw a small box on the table, rubbing his own butt and complained, "Do you know how many times that old man kicked me this morning for these two herbs!"

"You got hit?" Fang Ren was startled.

He hadn't thought his friend would get hurt trying to gather herbs for him.

"A full eight kicks! My butt is killing me." Li Xingwang rubbed his butt and frowned, "I don't care, man, for my little brother's sake I got the goods, but if you mess this up, you'd really owe my backside for those kicks."

Since the kicks had already taken place, there was nothing to be done, so Fang Ren had to bow earnestly and say, "Brother Wang, you've worked hard. When the pill is successfully refined, I'll be sure to visit and express my gratitude."

"Cut the crap, my old man would chop you up if he saw you." Li Xingwang looked disgusted.

"Hey, Old Li, looks like your status at home isn't as good as mine," Jing Haichuan chuckled at their misfortune.

"Buzz off, even if I'm low in the family hierarchy, I'm still the only seed in my family! Unlike you, who have two brothers. Let's see who's higher up later on."

...

The classroom soon became noisy again with the theory class about to start, which was the least interesting class for Fang Ren.

In college, students could sit wherever they wanted, so Fang Ren naturally sat with these two goofs, but then... a weirdo squeezed in, Jian Qi'er.

"Shouldn't you be skipping class?" Fang Ren said to Jian Qi'er, who was sitting next to him with her head down and a shy look, quite surprised.

"I I I, I suddenly want to study hard." Jian Qi'er looked at Fang Ren timidly and said, "After attending the lab class with Fang yesterday, I realized that studying is actually quite nice."

"..."

Fang Ren was speechless. Nothing much happened in yesterday's class, so what had sparked her interest...?

"Yo, Dumb Little Sister, don't tell me you've got plans for our Ranzi here?" Li Xingwang, sitting beside them, immediately started teasing with a mischievous grin upon seeing this.

The nickname "Dumb Little Sister" wasn't meant to be mean; it was what the class called Jian Qi'er because she was such a klutz. She'd always act busy and clumsy, like a little fool, which was why she got the name.

"Ah? No, no, no... I don't!" Jian Qi'er's cheeks instantly flushed red, and she waved her hands frantically in denial.

"Huh~" Jing Haichuan glanced over with amusement and raised his eyebrows: "Our Ranzi is almost betrothed, Dumb Little Sister, you don't stand a chance."

"I don't..."

Jian Qi'er immediately lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her school uniform's skirt, her face red and softly spoke.

"Hey hey hey, let's focus on the class and stop the nonsense." Fang Ren quickly interrupted when he saw the conversation going off track.

What a joke, he already had half a fiancée, how could he flirt around in school?

As the theory class teacher walked into the classroom, it quieted down considerably, and the two guys beside Fang Ren stopped the idle talk.

Looking at the herbs in the drawer, Fang Ren's heart was filled with gratitude. These two guys were truly loyal, gifting things worth over six hundred thousand just like that. Three years of firm friendship weren't in vain.

But then again, since the herbs were so expensive and he didn't have any money on him, he had to think of another way to pay them back.

The closer he was with them, the less he wanted to take advantage of them.

"Qian Qian, look, he's a thorough scumbag!"

Li Xinyue shook Liu Qianqian, who was attentively listening to the lecture in the front row when she saw Fang Ren and Jian Qi'er sitting together, and she immediately nudged her.

"Who's the scumbag?" Liu Qianqian was still clueless.

"Fang Ren!" Li Xinyue leaned on the desk and quietly pointed in the back of the room, expressing distaste, "Just yesterday morning, he was talking about getting engaged to some woman, and today he's already getting cosy with our class's Dumb Little Sister! Despicable!"

Following the direction of Li Xinyue's finger, Liu Qianqian looked over, and her indifferent face quickly furrowed with a frown.

She immediately turned her head back to the teacher, giving the impression of nonchalance once more, saying, "What has him flirting with someone to do with me?"

"I'm just worried you might be interested in him," Li Xinyue whispered softly.

"Who would be interested in him."

"Well, if you say so then I'm relieved. You're so pretty and your family is so well off, it wouldn't be worth it if you fell for a guy like him," Li Xinyue said.

Liu Qianqian was silent for a while, then seriously said, "Although I won't be dating anyone now, I don't think looks and family conditions are that important, nor do I believe these should be the necessary criteria for choosing a spouse."

"Oh my, how old are you?" Li Xinyue looked helpless and said, "Even if you don't date him, you should at least go out with some of the outstanding individuals in the school."

"I don't want to get involved with that."

Liu Qianqian said softly, with her gaze shifting slowly from the blackboard to her book and a hint of helplessness and sorrow flashed through the depths of her eyes.

The class flew by, and as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, the theory teacher walked out and Liu Qianqian immediately ran up to the lectern with a notebook in hand.

"Everyone, hold up, don't leave yet. Next week, the school is holding a sports festival, and we need to finalize the list of participants from our class before that," Liu Qianqian said as she twirled a ballpoint pen in her hand and continued, "Anyone who wants to volunteer, speak up now."

Just the mention of the sports festival brought a burst of energy to the students, who had almost dozed off during class.

"Is the summer sports festival already here?"

"Damn, I get to slack off for six days again."

"Holy shit, you're so hopeless. The sports festival isn't just for fun! It's all about the long white legs, man, and the cheerleading squads!"

"Damn, now that you mention it, I suddenly remember the girls from the Performing Arts System last year wearing those ultra-short skirts and white stockings, mother of God, that was a sight for sore eyes."

"Quiet, let me first get a good look with my eight-times magnifying glass."

"Brother, don't forget to sort me out with one too!"

"Ahem," Liu Qianqian was used to the boys' unrestrained behavior in her class, and after coughing twice she continued, "Put the ogling of beauties aside for now and let's settle the matter of deciding who's participating in which events."

"Class rep! I have a question, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask," Jing Haichuan immediately shouted.

"Go ahead."

"We've been here for three years now, and I've never seen you cheering in our class's cheer squad. To inspire the guys to sign up more enthusiastically, I think you should join the cheer squad this year."

"Whoa!"

The moment these words were out, the whole class of boys erupted like chickens on steroids, cheering loudly. The class rep was not just the class beauty, but also the most beautiful girl in the entire school!

However, Liu Qianqian usually dressed too conservatively, even her skirts were knee-length, so for her to wear a short skirt coupled with white stockings was the dream of countless boys on campus.

"Cheer squad! Cheer squad! Cheer... "

Suddenly, as if one mind, all the boys in the class started chanting in a raucous chorus.

The girls, on the other hand, cast disapproving glances at this display.

"Yeesh~ A bunch of sensory creatures, not a shred of gentlemanly demeanor."

"Boys will be pigs, with no substance at all."

"Hmph, only our class's boys are like this. Look at those in the Cultivation System; every one of them is like a chivalrous scholar, grace personified."

"Exactly, while our class's boys are all about white stockings and long legs in mini skirts."

Fang Ren, uninterested in this spectacle, didn't join in the clamor. He was busy arranging the herbs in his hands on the table, contemplating which ones to refine together.

Seeing the situation unfold, Liu Qianqian immediately tapped on the desk, still wearing her usual composed smile, and spoke in her regular tone, "Hold it, hold it.

I'll have things to do as vice-president when the sports festival opens, so the cheer squad's duties will go to the other girls in our class. If you guys have any objections, us girls might just go cheer for the boys in the other classes, see how you like that."

"That's right, you bunch of pigs. Say one more word, and we might just consider going to cheer for the boys from other classes," Li Xinyue stood up and said.

"Yes, I've had it with these swine. We're not cheering for them this year!"

"I think all of us girls should just run off to the Cultivation System, let them hang."

Spurred by Li Xinyue's provocation, the spirit of the girls in the class rose immediately.

Seeing this, the boys had no choice but to concede.

"Hey, hey, hey, hold up, Li Sister, with our relationship, you can't not cheer for me!"

"Damn, Zhang Sister, after all these years sitting together, you'd go cheer for another class?"

"Ah! Sun Sister, don't abandon me!"

Instantly, all the boys in the class collectively started calling the girls "sister," in an attempt to quell their indignation. The earlier bravado of the boys collapsed completely.

Li Xingwang, who was a big shot in the underworld and always prided himself on his machismo, couldn't stand this scene and stood up to shout, "Class rep! Ranzi said if you wear a mini skirt with white stockings, he'll sign up for three events!"

"Oh!"

"Damn, Ranzi is so awesome!"

"Class rep! Just give in to him!"

The boys in the class started stirring up trouble once again, and Fang Ren, who had been studying his herbs with a serious expression, suddenly froze when he heard the noise, staring wide-eyed and bewildered at his surroundings.

What the hell does this have to do with him!?
