The voice was sowhat familiar, carrying a few traces of incredulous delight.
Xu Fan looked up, and the graceful girl standing in front of him—who else could it be but that lass Song Ling'er?
After nearly a year, the two reunited once more. eting an old friend is one of life's greatest joys. The youth, still charming, with smiles as radiant as flowers—nothing in the world could be more comforting.
At this mont, the enormous pressure that had weighed on Xu Fan's shoulders for so many days dissipated like smoke.
Even Xu Fan was filled with joy at this mont. He chuckled softly and said, "I thought Ling'er joined the Pill Divine Valley and had long forgotten about , Xu Brother. I didn't expect Ling'er still rembers as her brother."
"Xu Brother..." Xu Fan's harmless joke made Song Ling'er's eyes redden, and tears flowed like broken pearls. She threw herself into Xu Fan's arms.
This sudden embrace left Xu Fan a bit bewildered.
Xu Fan swore to the heavens that his visit to the Pill Divine Valley was really just to plunder resources for elixirs to restore Li Long's strength and prepare for three years later. As for Song Ling'er, he only intended to see her casually.
But why does it seem...the situation is developing in an unexpected direction?
Indeed, he hadn't seen Song Ling'er for a long ti, but hugging each other right away seed a bit much. It wasn't that Xu Fan didn't consider Song Ling'er as one of his own, but... Song Ling'er had grown another year older and was now a slender young lady.
However, Xu Fan, being a soft-hearted person, saw Song Ling'er crying sadly and reluctantly placed his hands on her fragrant shoulders, gently comforting her, "Alright Ling'er, why do you start crying as soon as you see ? Is it because you don't like Xu Brother visiting you?"
The effect was imdiate; Song Ling'er worried Xu Fan might misunderstand, quickly lifted her head, and said, "Ling'er certainly likes Xu Brother..."
With those words, Xu Fan was nearly scared enough to flee.
The Pill Divine Valley was too dangerous! Forget about elixirs and heavenly treasures...
Dealing with one Chu Le'er already made Xu Fan's scalp numb. After barely escaping from Chu Le'er and handling Jin Li, he could scarcely catch a breath. Another one? Even Xu Fan could hardly handle it.
Of course, enchantresses like Chu Le'er are exceedingly rare. Song Ling'er, being obedient, would naturally not be as troubleso as Chu Le'er.
But in Xu Fan's heart, Song Ling'er was just his sister; he didn't even have ti to be with Xia Xiao Die and the others. Traveling thousands of miles to the Pill Divine Valley to woo his sister is beyond wrong, isn't it?
"Being too outstanding really isn't a good thing! Even my sister likes ..."
Fortunately, Song Ling'er seed to have realized the ambiguity in her words, lowered her head with a flushed face, and softly explained, "Back at the base, the kindness Xu Brother showed Ling'er is unforgettable and will be rembered for a lifeti..."
With these words, the misunderstanding was finally resolved, and Song Ling'er ceased crying, pulling Xu Fan's hand, her rosy cheeks full of joy.
"Xu Brother, did you co specifically to see Ling'er?"
"Let tell you a secret, Ling'er is already a fifth-grade alchemist! Among the younger generation of Pill Divine Valley, Linger's talent in alchemy is unmatched!"
"How about it? Isn't Ling'er amazing?"
Song Ling'er, like a magpie, chirped rrily around Xu Fan, endlessly cheerful.
And Xu Fan finally let go of his inner worries, smiling and relaxing.
It was all a misunderstanding; it seems I've been too stressed these days, my nerves overly sensitive.
Thinking of this, Xu Fan gritted his teeth. After all, he is a hero who has traveled the world for years; what kind of woman has he not seen? What woman hasn't succumbed to his overwhelming charm—or rather, his charismatic personality?
Yet he suffered a great loss with Chu Le'er!
A gentleman must avenge such grievances!
Once back at Ice Palace, he'll surely give that woman a lesson!
"By the way! The Pill Divine Valley is heavily guarded, Xu Brother, how did you get in?" Suddenly, Song Ling'er slapped her forehead, seemingly rembering sothing, and hurriedly asked.
Heavily guarded? I walked all the way in, and not a single person blocked , okay? If this can be considered heavily guarded, then nowhere on earth isn't.
However, for the sake of his image, Xu Fan naturally wouldn't make such a remark, instead honestly saying, "Just walked in."
"Walked in? Without notifying a steward elder? Oh dear, oh dear..."
Song Ling'er's joyous expression vanished, replaced by panic and anxiety, "If the elders of Pill Divine Valley find out, they'll surely punish Xu Brother. And also, it's almost ti for the celebration; surely a steward elder will lead a search. If caught, it'll be hard to explain..."
Song Ling'er beca as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, circling Xu Fan.
Seeing this amused Xu Fan, his heart filled with a sense of warmth.
Xu Fan had long been accustod to being alone, bearing everything on his shoulders in solitude. It was rare to be so cared for by soone.
This feeling...is quite nice.
However, while touched, Xu Fan can't let Song Ling'er remain anxious; otherwise, her tears will once again flood like an ocean.
"Ling'er, don't worry. Your Xu Brother is a well-known figure outside; no matter how strict the rules of Pill Divine Valley, they can't affect . Just relax."
These words weren't boasting.
Forget about a re Pill Divine Valley; on the entire Earth, all the superpowers have long submitted to Xu Fan's terrifying might—or rather, his formidable strength. As long as Pill Divine Valley isn't completely isolated, they must have heard of him.
Moreover, even if Pill Divine Valley is truly isolated, at least, they must have heard about the recent cleansing that swept through the Earth Cultivation World, right?
Though alchemists are esteed, are they not afraid to die?
Even if they're not afraid, it's nothing difficult; a smack to kill would hardly require much effort from Xu Fan.
"Ling'er naturally believes Xu Brother is a renowned figure outside, but Pill Divine Valley..." Song Ling'er still wore a face full of worry.
"With Xu Brother here, Ling'er just stands behind ," Xu Fan said nonchalantly. "Isn't the Valley Master having a celebration? Let's go join the fun!"
Song Ling'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Xu Brother, where did you hear that? No elder has given birth. It's because the Valley Master is coming out of seclusion that we're going to celebrate."
Xu Fan shrugged, clearly not seeing any difference between the two.
Seeing Xu Fan had made up his mind, Song Ling'er sighed inwardly but had to lead Xu Fan to the celebration. At this mont, Song Ling'er could only pray that the high and mighty elders and the Valley Master she had never t wouldn't give her a glance...
