Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Let Everything Follow Fate

As for how to deal with the relationship between himself and the several beauties close to him, Fang Bai had never deliberately thought about it.

Fang Bai was not an ordinary person, so naturally, his thoughts and considerations greatly differed from those of ordinary people.

For ordinary people, life is but a mere century, and some matters do not afford the luxury of waiting or delay, such as the major event of marriage. Many parents, upon seeing their children grow up, look forward to them finding their significant other early to settle their own worries.

However, for Fang Bai, as long as he persisted in his cultivation and continually advanced in ranks, his life was destined to be far longer than that of ordinary people.

When one day he returned to his peak and became the Immortal Emperor again, tens of thousands of years would merely be a snap of the fingers to Fang Bai.

And this world, at present, was destined to be just a station on Fang Bai’s path to resurgence. Despite his deep fondness and attachment to this place, he would never stop his cultivation or give up on returning to the Immortal Realm.

To the relatives and friends, confidants and beauties in this world, what Fang Bai could do was to lead them onto the same path of cultivation, allowing them to possess great strength and extended lives as well.

Whether it was Xia Chenyu or Su Linglong, or any other woman, their futures were destined to be extraordinary after their encounter with Fang Bai.

Towards romance, whether in his past life or the current one, Fang Bai always let things take their natural course. He would come and go as he wished, never forcing anything.

Martial artists walk the world with not only a heart that never yields but also seek fortuitous opportunities.

When fate arrives, everything will fall into place naturally.

Without destiny, even forced efforts are futile.

So it is with cultivation, so it is with emotions, and so it is with all things.

Therefore, no matter how his parents urged him, Fang Bai turned a deaf ear, letting the future unfold as it may, all depending on fate.

Fang Gang and his wife were people who could not stay idle. Just after the second day of the new year had passed, they set off a string of firecrackers outside their traditional Chinese medicine clinic and resumed business.

Because the hired medical staff would not come to work until the sixth day of the lunar new year, the large clinic was only manned by Fang Gang, Yang Mei, Zhou Dabai, and Ghost Hand. Fortunately, there were not many patients during this period, and the four of them could manage.

As for Fang Bai, even though the deep mountains and old forests near Zhongzhou City were covered in ice and snow, it did not hinder his cultivation.

Every morning, Fang Bai persisted in physical training, sprinting all the way to the mountains. There, in the snowy landscape with relatively dense Essence Energy, he would sit for an entire day.

Not long ago, when he went to Qingcheng Temple, Fang Bai obtained a significant amount of Essence Stones and other cultivation resources from the Fat Taoist Wu De and the tomb chamber of Zhuge Dingtian. With these resources aiding his cultivation, Fang Bai absorbed Essence Energy daily to replenish himself, his cultivation level growing ever more profound.

Every few days, when Fang Bai introspected with his Divine Sense, he would observe the Chaos Origin Energy in his Qi Sea undergoing wondrous changes, which filled his heart with joy.

While Fang Bai himself was engrossed in cultivation, he did not forget about Fang Yun and Ghost Hand. He took the time to set up a small Gathering Essence Array in the yard behind his family’s traditional Chinese medicine clinic using a large number of Essence Stones.

This small Gathering Essence Array could attract and gather the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy from within ten miles into the yard of the Fang Family. This way, Fang Yun and Ghost Hand, who were both martial artists, could constantly bathe in Essence Energy. At night, when resting, they too could circulate their cultivation techniques and immerse themselves in cultivation.

Although the Origin Energy in the city was thin, with the boost from this small Gathering Essence Array, the yard’s Essence Energy became much denser, not much different from that in the mountains.

In his spare time from cultivation, Fang Bai would occasionally take some time out to call over a few close friends like Zhou Dabai, Hong Dabao, Xiao Minglang, and others to sit together, have a few drinks, chat, reminisce about their old school days, and casually ask if they needed any help with anything.

There’s no need to mention Zhou Dabai, as Fang Bai found him before the New Year and gave him a bank card without allowing any refusal, instantly elevating Zhou Dabai to the ranks of a billionaire.

Zhou Dabai didn’t get carried away by his newfound wealth or squander it recklessly. He’s now trying hard to learn from Fang Bai, dressing ordinarily, and even after the New Year, the car he bought was a secondhand one, very low-key.

While studying at Zhongzhou Medical College, Zhou Dabai had an eye for a fellow student, Feng Ya, and the two had mutual affections. Later, when Zhou Dabai’s family fled to avoid debts in Jinling, the two lost contact, but recently they reconnected, and their relationship rapidly heated up to the point of being inseparable now.

Hong Dabao, with Fang Bai’s help, opened a "Beauty Company" cosmetic product specialty store in the city, able to get supplies directly from "Beauty Company" at low prices. His business is thriving, and he’s living a comfortable life now.

And after Hong Dabao’s mother took the medicine prescribed by Fang Bai, her health improved rapidly, and she now helps her son manage the business every day.

Back when Hong Dabao’s family was poor, no woman would consider him, but now there is an endless stream of matchmakers at his door, much to the joy of his mother.

As for Xiao Minglang, he also succeeded in his relationship with his girlfriend Zhao Miaomiao, planning to get married soon, and has already informed Fang Bai and others in advance.

Seeing that his good friends were all doing well, Fang Bai was also very happy.

That afternoon, after having lunch with a few friends, Fang Bai watched as they left one after another and was about to get into his car to go home when suddenly a luxurious SUV came speeding over, screeching to a halt beside him.

Fang Bai turned his head to glance at the SUV and, sensing two familiar presences inside, knew who it was.

"Fang Bai."

Su Yifei leaped out of the car and came up behind Fang Bai, greeting him warmly.

Following Su Yifei out of the car was Qin Yaorao’s second uncle, the well-known jade magnate of Huaxia, Qin Shan.

During a previous incident in Yanjing involving his nephew Qin Yujie, Qin Shan nearly had a conflict with Fang Bai but was later grateful when Qin Yaorao stepped in to mediate, avoiding further issues. Hence, Qin Shan was somewhat embarrassed upon seeing Fang Bai.

However, Qin Shan was a shrewd old man and smoothed over the awkwardness quickly; he approached with a beaming smile and took the initiative to shake hands, saying, "Brother Fang, when you visited my brother’s house before the New Year, why didn’t you tell me? I could have rushed over to join you for a drink!"

The "brother" Qin Shan mentioned is the current Family Head of the Qin Family in Jinling, Qin Yaorao’s father, Qin Ling.

Before the New Year, Fang Bai had accepted an invitation from Qin Yaorao to visit the Qin Family in Jinling. At the time, Qin Shan was away, and later he learned that the arranged marriage between the Qin Family and Wen Family from Misty Rain Tower had been disrupted due to Fang Bai’s intervention.

Following that, the Wen Family father and son were killed, and Misty Rain Tower’s martial experts above Profound Level were annihilated. The incident shook the Ancient Martial World of Huaxia, and the Qin Family was secretly relieved that Fang Bai had interfered; otherwise, their daughter being engaged to Wen Family’s Eighteen would have been a mockery.

Qin Ling, the head of the Qin Family, suspected that the incident at Misty Rain Tower was related to Fang Bai and his disciple, but later he felt it was impossible for just the two of them to have eliminated Misty Rain Tower’s experts and did not pursue it further.

However, Qin Ling took note of the young Fang Bai, thinking that although his family was ordinary, his practice of both medicine and martial arts made him young and promising with a bright future. If his daughter Qin Yaorao could get along with him, that would be quite good.

But as the Qin Family was a prominent clan, even though Qin Ling favored Fang Bai, he could not lower his status to broach the subject himself.

In Qin Ling’s view, if his daughter liked Fang Bai and Fang Bai also had feelings for her, then let the two of them interact on their own. How far their relationship would go in the future would depend on their fate.
