"After being rescued by Fangfang, I healed in Peach Blossom Valley. The Valley Master of Peach Blossom Valley is a top-tier Alchemist who can cure various complex diseases and even mend bones and prolong life; my serious injuries were healed by him. Of course, he saved me, but he might have had another purpose, thinking that I had excellent bones and natural talent, making me a good successor."
So, after I recovered, he taught me Martial Arts and asked me to accept him as my Master. I thought having a Master wasn't a bad idea, so I started studying the arts under him in Peach Blossom Valley.
As I learned, suddenly one day, I felt as if I were possessed, and my whole body heated up." Read full story at novel⸺fire.net
Lin Yifan was ashamed to continue because the others already knew what happened next.
"My Master knew I had dishonored my female senior fellow disciple and insisted that I marry her; but I still had you all, I couldn't just abandon you; and Qiqi's life was in danger, I had to go back and save her; so I ended up having a huge fight with my Master.
In the end, thankfully, Senior Sister Fangfang was a reasonable person. Knowing my deep love for you, she didn't make it difficult for me and kept pleading with my Master to call off the marriage. Unable to withstand her, my Master let it go; thus saving the relationship between my Master and me, as well as my life.
I really owe her; if it weren't for her generosity and tolerance, I might be dead now."
This gratitude was sincere, although the nature of the marriage at that time was different, but the fact that Bright True Master coerced him to marry Fangfang was real.
"The marriage was called off, but I've always felt guilty, so when my Cultivation ended that day, I asked my Master to let me bring Senior Sister Fangfang back with me to meet the parents, to take responsibility for her.
My Master praised this approach, and so he permitted me to come back. So I came back this time with two purposes, one is to save An Qi, and the other is to have you accept... accept Fangfang."
"So that was it, Senior Sister Fangfang, you've really had a hard time." Zhou Jiajia was moved, one more sister wouldn't hurt."
"Sister Jiajia, no need for formalities. We all love Lin Yifan and don't want him to be in trouble, so I just did what I should do." Fangfang humbly responded.
"Anyway, Yifan came back safe and sound, all thanks to you," Zhou Jiajia said.
"Yes! Senior Sister Fangfang, we need to thank you," Su Qingqing chimed in.
"So how are you going to thank me?"
Fangfang didn't want to dwell on this matter and accepted their kindness from Zhou Jiajia and the others.
"We'll take you around Guiyuan City, letting you enjoy the pleasures of a modern city," Su Qingqing answered.
With that, the conversation ended.
Zhou Jiajia and the others now saw Fangfang in a new light, genuinely treating her as a member of the family.
It was eleven at night, and everyone was tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
In the dead of night, Lin Yifan tossed and turned, unable to quench his inner thirst.
Soon, he silently got out of bed, quietly slipped out of his room, and moved to the door of Fangfang's room.
When he tried to open the door, he found it locked from inside, so he lightly knocked, trying to awaken the sleeping Fangfang.
In fact, the moment he touched the doorknob, Fangfang had already been startled awake; now hearing the knocking, Fangfang became vigilant and curious about who was outside, so she asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me! Yifan!" Lin Yifan whispered from outside.
"Yifan? What do you need?" Fangfang continued to inquire.
"It's something important, let me in and we'll talk."
Hearing the urgency in Lin Yifan's voice, Fangfang thought there might really be something important, so she got out of bed and opened the door.
Fangfang was frightened by the sudden scenario and then widened her eyes to observe the man in front of her; after seeing it was Lin Yifan, she felt somewhat relieved.
To find out what was going on, she asked, "Yifan, what are you up to?"
Fangfang is not a robot, so there definitely was no iron door; the only explanation was that Fangfang had used her Cultivation Power.
In terms of strength, Lin Yifan was far inferior to Fangfang, thus breaking through this defense was nearly impossible.
