Fist Fight

Meanwhile, Long Lingqing thought she was the reason her ex, Chen Fang lost his cool and attacked Qin Li. As expected the guy still loved her. The calmness he exhibited yesterday was just a façade to keep his pride. Or so she thought.

But trainee guide Zhang was more than a hundred percent sure that her examinee was simply mad at Qin Li for what the person did to him in the previous lifetime. Since the alcohol amplified both his courage and emotions, he just found himself punching the arrogant bastard in the face.

From the looks of it, he seemed to have found the feeling so addictive! Or maybe it was the sounds created by his fists that connected on a hateful face that truly delighted him.

"Chen Fang! Stop! Stop!"

The man acted deaf to Long Qingling's shrieks and agitated words. The latter was scared by her ex's sudden act of aggression and thus she did not dare to come forward to peel off Chen Fang from Qin Li. The girl shivered when she saw the look of hatred in Chen Fang's eyes.

Even though part of her was flattered that a man would go to this length after losing her, was he still the Chen Fang she was familiar with?

She did not know what to do since there was nobody else around them.

"You… You!" Meanwhile, the sudden pain also angered the rich second-gen guy. He was also a man and given his ties with some gangsters, he was not really afraid of fistfights.

When a counterattack was thrown his way, Chen Fang who was not really great at brawling got hit on the chin. He instinctively held his jaw and staggered back.

Long Qingling took that chance to rush to Qin Li's side.

"Qin Li, are you okay?!" Long Lingqing's voice was full of worry. She held her handkerchief up and tried to wipe away the blood on her boyfriend's face. When the second-gen guy flinched and moaned in pain, she idiotically stuttered out, "D-does it hurt? Should I call an ambulance?"

It was apparent that Long Qingling had never been in this type of situation. The fight that she just witnessed was also the first violence she saw up close in her entire life.

Approximately two meters away, Chen Fang who had sobered up a bit coldly at the scene before him.

The other spectator looked on with a complicated expression on her face. She wished she could just appear and pull her examinee away from those two.

Unfortunately, intervening would not be a good idea for a guide. Even the rookie Zhang Mei Xing was aware of this fact. The test was to see how an examinee would live their second life should they be allowed to reincarnate. It would not be meaningful if a variable like them were to interfere.

For example, Zhang Mei Xing had the ability to phase into the Test World and interact with the ones before her, and she could just do that. She could pretend to be Chen Fang's acquaintance so she would have a valid excuse to take him away. The explanation would wait for a later time. But she did not do so.

Why? Because she was not a person of this world!

Once this exact situation happened in Chen Fang's actual second life, what then? Since she would not be there anymore, another progression or route would take place. It meant that starting from where Zhang Mei Xing intervened, the progression would become a mess, something that was not tested by the Temple of Reincarnation. This was what the system warned as a case where 'the examination would be proven meaningless'.

'Should I have just clicked that darn option?' The fox demoness encounter ticket popped up inside her head, then she grimaced.

'But should have I done that, it meant I would embroil this poor guy in a more perilous world. I'm sure it will not be fun to be stalked and pestered by a poisonous demoness.'

In the same hotel was also the fox demon disguised as a human. This individual was very new to human society and was here for investigative purposes. But because she was a demon and could not control her desires, a fairly powerful human cultivator was already hot on her tail.

Once Zhang Mei Xing activated the ticket, that demoness would just find herself encountering Chen Fang for no reason at all. Maybe it would be after a brief but deadly battle with the human cultivator where she would be forced to seek help from a mortal. Maybe the resulting incident would pull Chen Fang away from the annoying pair.

But would the risk be worth it?

Zhang Mei Xing pursed her lips. She decided to watch, taking a few moments of silence to weigh her options. However, after a few seconds, she still chose to not do it.

Thankfully, at the same time, Chen Fang regained his reason and silently withdrew. The best thing that happened so far was his room being located six steps away.

Zhang Mei Xing sighed in relief. Although, a feeling of helplessness for not being able to do more ate away at her. Sometimes, it was just really fun being a mere spectator.
