Good night!

The moon hung high, stars glittered, a streak of blue broke through the distant horizon and landed in Yunshui City.

Outside Yunshui City, on the peak of a solitary mountain, an aged man witnessed the green light descend and murmured, “A celestial phenomenon, surely a prodigious person will appear in the world!”

Sixteen years later.

Fang Bai sat alone on the peak of a solitary mountain, gazing at the horizon. His expression was slightly vacant, with occasional flashes in his eyes. He muttered to himself: "Sixteen years have passed, how much longer must I wait?"

Yun Shui City was an inconspicuous small town on the border of the Da Chu Dynasty. The Da Chu Dynasty ignored its existence. To the vast Da Chu Dynasty, Yun Shui City was simply too small.

The residents of Yunshui City, though they have lived in the Chu Dynasty for generations, everything about it feels so distant to them. They care more about the local happenings within the city.

Man! Genius! Waste!

This is the most talked-about story among residents of Yunshi City in the past decade. What's most bizarre about the story is that a talented person, a genius, and a waste were all born on the same day of the same year. Whether they were born at the exact same time is impossible to verify.

People, Bai Qianxue, according to some outsiders who have passed through, even in the Da Chu Dynasty, Bai Qianxue is a once-in-a-century beauty.

A prodigy, he was born in late autumn. At the age of sixteen, he had already become a Qi Cultivator of the Seven Meridians. Yun Shui City had never seen such terrifying cultivation speed!

If Bai was born into an ordinary family, he might not have been called a wastrel; if he had been born at a different time, Bai might also have escaped disaster.

Unfortunately, Fang Bai couldn't choose any of this. What made Fang Bai even more renowned was that he and Bai Qianxue had been betrothed since childhood.

This marriage was in crisis when they were six years old, because Fang Bai couldn't cultivate. In the Da Chu Dynasty where martial arts were paramount, being unable to cultivate meant having no future.

The husband of the first person in Yunshi City, how can he have no future?

The reason their relationship has lasted until now is that, besides Fang Bai's mother being Bai Qian Xue's aunt, the Fang family is Yun Shui City's first family and Fang Bai is the eldest grandson of the Fang family.

If it weren't for the appearance of genius Mu Qiu, this marriage might have continued under the umbrella of the Yun Shui City's first family. But, unfortunately, Mu Qiu fell in love with Bai Qian Xue.

People deserve talent, it's only natural!

Everyone thinks so, and Mu Qiu thinks so too!

The Mu family was not as powerful as the Fang family, but Mu Qiu reversed the situation because a month later, Tianji Gate would come to Yunshui City to select disciples.

The Tianji Gate is a colossal and legendary entity for Yunshui City. Such an occurrence has never happened in the history of Yunshui City.

As for the reason, it goes without saying that the Heavenly Extreme Sect came for a person. That person is naturally a genius, not a waste.

Everyone in Yunshui City knows that Mu Qiu is bound to enter the Tianji Gate, from then on he will leap over the dragon's gate. No, it should be said that the dragon returns to the sea.

The rise of the Mu family is unstoppable!

At this time, the Bai family was pondering their next move. The title of Yun Shui City's first family was about to be passed on, and the Bai family naturally needed to realign themselves, continuing to follow the new leading family.

What could be a more solid relationship than marriage? Especially when the marriage is to a genius, a genius favored by the Tianji Gate!

With the Bai family already unhappy with Bai's performance, they took advantage of the situation and strengthened their ties with the Mu family.

To this, Fang Bai had no knowledge, or rather, Fang Bai had no interest in knowing.

As the sun set in the west, a long white shadow stretched across the streets of Yunshui City. He had black hair falling loose, eyebrows like swords, a handsome face, but his expression was somewhat wooden and dull. His eyes were dim and lifeless.

"Look, the waste is back. I told you so, he's supposed to stay for half a month, and this is the seventeenth day." Someone on the street smirked, not afraid of being heard.

Bai Ying stopped for a moment, then continued walking forward. Fang Bai had become accustomed to the scorn and mockery of others, even within his own family, let alone outside.

"What a pity! The wife of the first person is about to run away, and she's just about to marry into another family!" Someone shook their head and sighed, but there was no sigh in their voice, only malicious intent.

"Keep it down, if the Fang family hears this, we'll be in trouble."

"What are you afraid of?" someone scoffed. "You still think you're the First Family? In a month, the Mu family will be the First Family of Yunshui City. The Fang family isn't even worthy of tying their shoes!"

"Shut up!"

A cold shout echoed, and a snow-white and beautiful figure appeared, like a fairy descending to earth, untouched by mundane affairs, pristine and pure. The bustling street instantly fell silent, not a soul daring to approach the celestial maiden.

The one speaking was the attendant beside the fairy, wearing a green robe. The young face was flushed red with anger. Cui'er felt very sorry for her young lady and was unwilling to accept this. How could someone as celestial as their young lady be betrothed to such a person?

Worse still, hearing someone insult his fiancée, he just pretended nothing happened, as if he didn't hear a thing.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Cui'er's eyes burned with anger, disgust, and contempt.

Fang Bai raised his head and glanced at Cui'er, his dim eyes sweeping over her. He ignored Bai Qianxue beside him, "What do you want me to say?"

"You..." Cui'er was so angry that her finger pointing at Fang Bai trembled. Suddenly, she realized that it was ridiculous for her to get angry with a useless person like him. Anyway, in a short time, the young lady would have nothing to do with this man.

Fang Bai lowered his head and walked forward. He had been away from home for a while, and someone at home must be anxiously waiting for him. The only person in this world who Fang Bai cared about, his mother, Bai Yufu.

"Cousin."

Her vermilion lips moved lightly, her voice like a yellow warbler from the valley, lingering in the air. Fang Bai couldn't help but stop his steps. It had been many years since he had heard that address. He thought he didn't care, but unexpectedly, there was still some unease in his heart.

A month later, the Heavenly Extremity Gate will arrive, and I will also leave. From then on, we may never meet again. Can you understand?

A trace of pity, born from guilt and looking down on mortals like ants, flowed out of Bai Qianxue's indifferent voice.

Fang Bai turned his head, looking at his fiancée who was known as the first beauty. A sudden wave of disgust rose in his heart, but she was nothing more than a rotten skin bag. After a hundred years, she would be just bones and dust.

"Congratulations!"

Two short words fell, Fang Bai turned his head again, his eyes clear. The only ripple in his heart completely subsided.

"Fang, why the rush to leave?"

A powerfully built man strode forward, every gesture radiating the air of a master swordsman. His gaze landed on Fang Bai with a hint of mockery, and he often glanced towards Bai Qianxue, his eyes gleaming with avarice.

In late autumn, the unparalleled genius of Yunshui City arrived.

Fang Bai seemed not to hear, and continued walking toward Fang's house.

Mu Qiu's face turned very ugly. Fang Bai's existence was a thorn in his heart. Whenever he thought of his beloved person being a useless fiancee, Mu Qiu would be furious and almost out of control.

However, there were too many people watching at this time. He had to put on an air of a genius, for everyone else and also for the person he cared about.

"Fang brother, I'm speaking to you. Is this the cultivation of a disciple of the Fang family?"

Fang Bai still walked away without looking back!
