Last night, Xiao Fang lay in bed, tossing and turning, deeply lost in thought.
One was a person to whom she owed a great debt of gratitude, another was the person she admired; she did not want to lose either of them.
As she thought, the image of Lin Yifan, his smile, and his handsome face uncontrollably surfaced in her mind...
Whenever she remembered these, she couldn't help but give a foolish smile, as if all her laughter stemmed from Lin Yifan alone.
At this moment, the answer was already clear; in her heart, there was no Bright True Master, only Lin Yifan.
Coming to her senses, she muttered to herself, "Has he already replaced Master in my heart?"
Gazing at the bright moon outside the window, she reflected on the past and dreamed of the future, finding herself unable to sleep all night.
At dawn, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window.
Lin Yifan opened his bleary eyes, preparing to get up and return home.
Peach Blossom Valley lacked modern technology, possessing only the simplest of ancient civilizations; thus, brushing one's teeth with toothpaste and a toothbrush here was simply impossible.
Fortunately, there were various medicinal herbs available, and Bright True Master had also developed a magical mouthwash, so just a mouthful was enough to thoroughly clean the teeth and mouth, much more effective than modern toothpaste.
After rinsing his mouth and washing his face, Li Yifan shouldered his pack and stepped out of his room to look for Sister Xiao Fang.
Arriving at Sister Xiao Fang's room, he knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Sister, are you there? We should say goodbye to Master and set off."
But no one answered him.
Then, he knocked on the door again and found there was still no response; so, he proceeded to the hall.
Arriving in the hall, he saw that Sister Xiao Fang was already standing next to Bright True Master, looking at him. On her, hung a pink pack, and in her hand, she held a sword, apparently all set to leave.
"Disciple pays respects to Master!" Lin Yifan first saluted Bright True Master and then asked Xiao Fang, "Sister, have you made up your mind?"
"Seeing me like this, what do you think?" Xiao Fang countered.
"Then let's say goodbye to Master now, and then we can set off," Lin Yifan suggested.
"Yes!" Xiao Fang nodded, then walked over to Lin Yifan's side, and together they bid farewell to Bright True Master.
"Master, we're leaving now. Please take good care of yourself."
"Go on, go on! Just come back to visit occasionally. However, don't bring any other Cultivators here, or I won't let you off easily, you understand?" Bright True Master cautioned.
He had finally found a paradise, and he certainly did not want to be entangled in various disputes year-round.
"Understood!" Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang said in unison.
"Yifan, it's your sister's first time stepping into modern society. You must take good care of her and make sure she doesn't suffer any injustice, understand? And if you can accept your sister..."
Mid-sentence, Bright True Master was interrupted by Xiao Fang.
"Master!" Xiao Fang stamped her foot, blushing and seemingly not wanting her Master to reveal her secret.
However, although Bright True Master did not continue, Lin Yifan had already guessed something.
"Could it be that Sister has fallen for me? This..." Lin Yifan thought more and more that something was amiss, feeling that Bright True Master's intention in having him take Xiao Fang away was not so simple.
"It seems there will be trouble ahead." That was his sixth sense.
Seeing Xiao Fang's shy demeanor, Bright True Master had to drop the subject, then said, "Alright, that's all; Yifan, did you remember what I just said?"
"Remember that, Master," Lin Yifan answered.
"Then you should take your senior sister and leave this place. I hope that when you return next time, I'll be able to see a little disciple," Bright True Master said with a radiant smile, his words filled with meaning.
"Uh..." Lin Yifan broke into a cold sweat, now fully understanding Bright True Master's intentions.
Xiaofang blushed, extremely shy. Anyone normal would understand the meaning of those words. By now, she might have guessed what was on Lin Yifan's mind.
"I wonder what he will do?"
Xiaofang's heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness, unsure what might happen with their departure this time.
"Take care, Master!" Having said that, Lin Yifan quickly led Senior Sister Xiaofang away from there to avoid an increasingly awkward situation.
Once outside the house, Lin Yifan headed to the medicinal fields to look for the millennium Blood Ginseng—it was time to take it away.
"Millennium Blood Ginseng, little fatty, come out quick!" Lin Yifan shouted loudly at the medicinal fields.
However, the only response was silence.
"Damn! Where has it gone to show off again?" Lin Yifan was furious, extremely annoyed.
Time was precious, and he didn't want to waste too much of it here, in case they missed the opportunity to hit the road.
"Junior brother! The millennium Blood Ginseng isn't here. It's near the territory of the Tianshan Snow Lotus," Xiaofang enthusiastically informed him.
The Tianshan Snow Lotus was a spiritual medicinal plant of Bright True Master, ranking second on the list of spiritual objects, with very high magical power.
A few days ago, while she was watering and fertilizing the Tianshan Snow Lotus, she noticed the plump millennium Blood Ginseng squatting in the distance, gazing at the Tianshan Snow Lotus with eyes full of affection.
Since then, she noticed that the millennium Blood Ginseng had always rooted itself just outside the territory of the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
"Tianshan Snow Lotus? My God! Master wouldn't have such a divine object, would he?" Lin Yifan was shocked.
He was now a senior alchemist, knowledgeable about each medicinal herb, and was naturally aware of the mystique of the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
The Tianshan Snow Lotus had the power to resurrect the dead. Besides that, it could also extend lifespan, nourish the body, and had many other benefits. It was rarely seen for thousands of years.
"No wonder Master doesn't care about my millennium Blood Ginseng; he owns such a divine object," Lin Yifan realized, then asked, "Senior sister, where is the Tianshan Snow Lotus territory?"
"It's on the hillside behind the alchemy room," Xiaofang replied.
"Then let's go collect the millennium Blood Ginseng and leave Peach Blossom Valley," Lin Yifan suggested.
"Alright!"
Having agreed, the two headed towards the hillside behind the alchemy room.
After a while, they arrived there; at that moment, Lin Yifan felt a chilly breeze, the temperature somewhat low.
"Holy cow! Why is it so cold?" Lin Yifan wondered.
The temperature here was not on the same level as other areas in Peach Blossom Valley, being extremely cold.
"The Tianshan Snow Lotus belongs to the ice system type of plants, capable of emitting cold streams, so its surrounding area is generally very cold," Xiaofang explained.
"I see!" Lin Yifan realized, then continued towards the hill.
Soon, he discovered an ice crystal lotus flower. The area around it was entirely blanketed with white frost and snow. This contrasted sharply with Peach Blossom Valley, which was like spring all year round.
"Is this the Tianshan Snow Lotus!" Lin Yifan asked in astonishment, his eyes filled with curiosity.
