When the Myriad Poison Sect attacked, Jing Yi had already resigned herself to a fight to the death. After all, the Myriad Poison Sect was too powerful, and the Peach Blossom Female Sect simply had no chance of contending with them.
By the end, when Ju Gang directed the Snake Formation toward them, Jing Yi had already concluded that today the Peach Blossom Female Sect would hardly escape by luck; yet Ding Fan arrived like a Heavenly God.
It could be said that if it were not for Ding Fan, the Peach Blossom Female Sect would no longer exist.
While the disciples within the sect were clearing the battlefield, Jing Yi had already invited Ding Fan, Zhou Ruoran, and Mu Zi to the inner court.
"Young Master Ding, on behalf of everyone at the Peach Blossom Female Sect, I thank you for your righteous intervention." Although Jing Yi's legs were already disabled, she still sat in her wheelchair, bending her upper body to bow in salute.
"Senior, you are too polite," Ding Fan hastily returned the courtesy. "My wife is a disciple of the Peach Blossom Female Sect, and you had saved my wife several tis before. Naturally, I am duty-bound to help when the sect is in trouble."
Ruoran, standing quietly by the side, watched Ding Fan, the man she loved. Seeing the respect he commanded among those around him, a sense of happiness inexplicably swept through her heart.
Jing Yi then looked towards Zhou Ruoran at that mont, secretly glad she had intervened to save Ruoran before.
Back then, Ruoran had a Gu Insect in her body; to restrain the Gu Insect, the sect's most precious treasure was required for the rescue. There were objections within the sect back then, but Jing Yi had insisted, thus saving Ruoran's life.
Initially, Jing Yi had felt that Ruoran possessed spirituality and fate had brought them together, which was why she had intervened. Now, it seed, her decision was truly correct.
If she had not ford a good karma with Ruoran back then, perhaps today the Peach Blossom Female Sect would indeed be beyond salvation.
"Young Master Ding, previously Ruoran lost her mory, and because of my montary folly, you and your wife were separated. Please do not take it to heart," Jing Yi said.
"Senior, you did it for my wife; how could I possibly take it to heart?" Ding Fan said, looking towards Ruoran by his side.
Ding Fan's gaze was tender and affectionate, causing Ruoran's face to turn slightly red at that mont.
Jing Yi could naturally see the love between the two and smiled slightly. "Now that you and your wife are reunited, from today onwards, Ruoran will follow you down the mountain."
Initially, Jing Yi had separated Ruoran and Ding Fan, even forcing Ding Fan to write a letter of divorce later on. At this ti, Jing Yi couldn't help feeling a bit guilty.
Ruoran was stunned. "Master, are you not wanting your disciple anymore?"
Jing Yi shook her head slightly. "No matter where you go, you are still a disciple of the Peach Blossom Female Sect. How could I possibly not want you... You must treasure Young Master Ding's affection."
Although Ruoran felt reluctant, she still nodded. She naturally had to accompany Ding Fan, but the thought of parting with her master made her feel sowhat uneasy.
"Senior, here is a Fifth Grade Foundation Building Pill. With daily cultivation practices and by channeling your ridians, I believe it won't be long before your legs recover," Ding Fan said as he gently offered over a small porcelain bottle.
The small porcelain bottle seed to be held by hand as it steadily flew towards Jing Yi.
Jing Yi caught the porcelain bottle, her expression unable to suppress the shock. Although the Peach Blossom Female Sect had no shortage of alchemy masters, a Fifth Grade dicine Pill was simply too shocking.
It is known that dicine Pills above Second Grade are already priceless treasures; the value of a Fifth Grade dicine Pill is even more incalculable. And such a precious item was being given away by Ding Fan just like that.
"Young Master Ding..."
Jing Yi had not finished speaking when Ding Fan waved his hand. "The Peach Blossom Female Sect still relies on you, senior. Healing your legs is crucial."
After hearing Ding Fan's words, Jing Yi was very grateful and bowed in her wheelchair once more with folded hands.
Ding Fan had first saved the Peach Blossom Female Sect and now had even donated such a valuable dicine Pill, filling Jing Yi's heart with imnse gratitude.
Ding Fan and Ruoran exchanged so casual conversation with Jing Yi before leaving her residence.
At this ti, the Peach Blossom Female Sect had just survived a major battle, and the female disciples of the sect were indeed very busy.
Ding Fan and Ruoran, having reunited after a long separation, walked hand in hand to a pavilion in the back mountain of the Peach Blossom Female Sect.
Ding Fan and Ruoran were together; naturally, Mu Zi found an excuse to leave, being the shrewd person he was. How could he be the third wheel at this mont?
The two, having t after a long ti, naturally discussed everything that had happened in their ti apart.
"Ruoran, how is your cultivation progressing now?" Ding Fan was most concerned about Ruoran's cultivation level at this mont.
Ding Fan could sense the True Qi inside Ruoran using his Divine Sense, but what surprised him was that Ruoran seed to have reached the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation.
It is known that advancing to the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation without two to three years of ti is simply impossible, and Ruoran has only been away from him for less than half a year. Now, she had already achieved the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation, which was truly baffling.
"Since regaining my mory, I've been following the Cultivation Technique you taught , and now I can even clearly feel the True Qi coursing through my ridians," Ruoran said.
Ding Fan nodded, after entering the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation, indeed, one could strongly feel the sensation of Qi. From this perspective, Ruoran had truly entered the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation.
"During this half year, did you have any extraordinary encounters?" Ding Fan now asked what puzzled him in his heart.
If she had advanced to the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation in only half a year without any extraordinary encounters, Ding Fan simply wouldn't believe it.
Although it had only taken Ding Fan half a year to advance to the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, Ding Fan, after all, had previous experience in Cultivation and alchemy, and he had continuous extraordinary encounters over the past half-year...
After hearing Ding Fan's question, Ruoran briefly pondered, then said, "During this half a year, Master only had practice on the Cold Jade Bed in the sect's forbidden grounds. As for anything else, there was nothing further..."
Cold Jade Bed?
If Ruoran hadn't had any other adventures in the past half year, and had only cultivated on the Cold Jade Bed, it naturally explained why her cultivation improved so quickly.
However, the Cold Jade Bed was a secret of the Peach Blossom Female Sect, and Ding Fan felt it wasn't right to ask too many questions.
"Ding Fan, how is your cultivation now?" Ruoran looked at Ding Fan with affection and asked.
Ding Fan just smiled slightly. "How about I take you to see the sea?"
"The sea?" Ruoran was a bit startled; after all, they were in the Peach Blossom Female Sect, located deep in a vast mountain range, miles upon miles away from the nearest coast.
Ding Fan naturally noticed Ruoran's confusion and smiled at her, then flicked his right hand.
At that mont, he brought out his Selfless Sword.
As soon as the Selfless Sword appeared, it transford and enlarged in an instant. Ding Fan imdiately took Ruoran's hand and stepped onto the Selfless Flying Sword.
"Speed!" Ding Fan clenched his finger gestures with one hand.
Then, with a whoosh, the flying sword suddenly soared into the sky, with Ding Fan wrapping his arm around Ruoran, directly comncing their sword flight.
"Is... is this Sword Flight?"
Zhou Ruoran opened her mouth wide, clearly in disbelief.
During her half-year at the Peach Blossom Female Sect, Ruoran had indeed heard about these flying swords. However, they had always been the stuff of legends, rumored to fly at the will of their masters and to be controllable in flight.
What Ruoran found hard to believe was that Ding Fan could now control a flying sword!
Even the Old Sect Leader of the Peach Blossom Female Sect, who had once reached the peak barrier of Earth Level, had not been able to control a flying sword.
If such a person couldn't manage it, yet Ding Fan could already control a flying sword, it was indeed incredible.
At that mont, Ding Fan gently held Ruoran's small hand; his smile was clear and pure.
Under the deep blue sky, feeling beloved and sharing this flying sword ride with her, Ruoran felt that even if she died now, it would have been worth it.
Controlling the flying sword, Ding Fan and Ruoran soon reached the seas with a swoosh.
At this mont, the sky and sea rged into one shade of blue, the beauty of the heavens and earth indistinguishable from one another—a sight unmatched in beauty.
Warmth filled Ruoran's heart.
She had once thought she'd never see Ding Fan again, thinking about how she could lean against Ding Fan's chest, wondering if this wasn't her good fortune?
Boom...
Just as Ruoran quietly savored this perfect mont, the sound of an explosion ca unexpectedly.
The noise was sudden and not far from where Ruoran was, startling her.
Ding Fan's brows furrowed slightly.
Boom boom boom... Da da da...
Soon after, a series of rapid gunfire sounds followed.
Although Ruoran had begun her cultivation, she was still a fragile woman at heart, and at this mont, she couldn't help but shiver.
Ding Fan imdiately extended his Divine Sense to investigate.
Not far from them, a ship flying the Huaxia Country flag was frantically racing, while two speedboats were quickly pursuing it. The speedboats were incessantly firing shoulder-launched missiles.
Boom!
A loud explosion occurred as the ship was hit by a missile from one of the pursuing speedboats and stopped on the ocean surface. The two speedboats quickly surrounded it.
"Let's take a closer look..." Holding Ruoran, Ding Fan imdiately controlled the flying sword, directing it toward the distressed fishing ship.
...
On the smoke-filled fishing ship,
"What do we do now? We are surrounded by pirates! What should I do?" A richly dressed young man, his face streaked with tears and panic, asked an elder in front of him.
The elder, more than fifty years old and with a profound gaze, clearly soone who had lived through many difficulties, said, "Young Master Li, do not panic. I am here with you."
"Uncle Wang, what do we do now? The pirates might kill people," said the young man known as Young Master Li, almost crying.
"Aren't your Li Family very rich? Didn't you say there's nothing in this world you can't handle?" A stunningly beautiful girl disdainfully asked Young Master Li.
