Such a gentle and beautiful person, she was simply irresistible; Lin Yifan couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Xiaofang knew Lin Yifan was stealing glances at her, but she didn't stop him—instead, she felt a certain joy in her heart.

Being admired by someone of the opposite sex was a source of pride for her.

So there they were, one sweetly administering the medicine, the other admiringly taking it, creating an exceptionally warm scene.

After administering the medicine, Xiaofang was about to take the medicine bowl and leave, but at that moment, Lin Yifan called out to her.

"Miss Xiaofang, don't go!"

Xiaofang's heart skipped a beat, unsure why Lin Yifan would want her to stay.

"Could it be he has taken a liking to me? No way, I'm not mentally prepared yet."

Xiaofang nervously fidgeted with the hem of her dress; then turned around, shyly lowering her head to ask, "Young Master, why did you call me?"

Seeing Xiaofang so shy and nervous, Lin Yifan realized she had misunderstood his intention, so he cleared his throat twice and awkwardly replied, "Um… do you still have my backpack?"

The backpack contained all his belongings, including clothes, cell phone, map, spirit stones, Channeling Herb, and more; it was crucial to him, and he was very eager to know whether it was still around.

"Young Master, when I rescued you, you only had tattered clothes, and I didn't find anything else," Xiaofang said, becoming increasingly shy as she spoke.

Recalling that moment was truly a huge embarrassment!

Not only had she seen Lin Yifan's muscular chest, but she had also seen his underwear, which, for her, a very conservative woman, was utterly embarrassing.

"Oh no! Such a heavy loss!" Lin Yifan lamented in his heart.

All those treasures had vanished into thin air; just thinking about it was painful. He had even wanted to use his cell phone to check his current location, but now that was out of the question.

In his sorrow, upon noticing Xiaofang's cheeks turning deep red, he curiously inquired, "Miss Xiaofang, why are your cheeks red? Is the room too hot?"

"Young Master, you should rest more; I have other things to attend to, so I will take my leave now," she said, then left the room without looking back.

She didn't want to say much because the situation was indeed very awkward.

"Hey!" Lin Yifan tried to call her back, but Xiaofang had already walked away.

"What is this? Could she have taken a liking to me? No way! Although I am handsome and suave, love at first sight seems rather unlikely!"

Lin Yifan indulged in self-admiration, utterly self-absorbed.

For the next half month, he peacefully recuperated in Peach Blossom Valley; in fact, he didn't understand why the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable was so kind to him—could it really be just out of kindness that he was saved? He felt it couldn't be that simple.

During that time, he gradually became familiar with Miss Xiaofang; as the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness, and soon their relationship took on a hint of ambiguity.

Whenever Xiaofang saw him, she was always extremely shy; whenever he saw Xiaofang, his eyes involuntarily expressed tender affection.

Lin Yifan knew it wasn't right, but there were some things he couldn't control.

Fortunately, neither of them spoke openly about their feelings, so their relationship remained ambiguous.

After recovering for half a month, Lin Yifan's physical injuries had mostly healed, and he was almost back to normal.

That day, he was finally able to get out of bed and walk on his own.

Stepping out of the room, walking outside the house, Lin Yifan saw the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Valley for the first time.

At that moment, faced with the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Valley, he suddenly felt enlightened and invigorated. After taking a deep breath, he exclaimed, "How beautiful!"

This place was like an earthly paradise, free from worldly clutter, far from the madding crowd, utterly content.

"Living here in my old age would be perfect," Lin Yifan fantasized to himself.

The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the birds chirped merrily on the branches, utterly joyful.

Just as Lin Yifan was about to start walking to enjoy the natural scenery of Peach Blossom Valley, Xiaofang called out to him.

"Young Master! Your injuries have not yet healed; it's not suitable to go outside and catch a cold. Please, come back inside quickly."

Looking at the beauty who appeared beside him, Lin Yifan felt an inexplicable impulse to hold her in his arms and caress her tenderly.

"I've been lying in bed for over a month now. If I don't get out and walk, my bones might just rust!"

"Pfft!" Xiaofang giggled with pursed lips and then said, "Young Master, your bones are extraordinary, a natural talent. How could they rust?"

"Extraordinary bones, natural talent?" Hearing these words, Lin Yifan felt somewhat baffled and didn't know what they meant.

"Could it simply be a compliment?" he wondered, feeling it couldn't be that simple and there must be another meaning.

However, it was better to be modest at the moment, so he said, "Miss Xiaofang flatters me too much. I merely possess ordinary bones and nothing particularly outstanding."

"The Young Master is truly modest, but Xiaofang likes it," she said, lowering her head even further, obviously feeling shy.

"Uh... Is this a hint?" Lin Yifan's forehead began to sweat profusely, feeling the pace was too fast, catching him off guard.

Just when he was at a loss, a force suddenly pulled him away.

This force was exerted by the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable, intending to bring Lin Yifan to a designated spot.

After arriving beside the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable, Lin Yifan was finally able to stand firm. At that moment, he was panting heavily, his heart in his throat, extremely frightened.

Such terrifying power left him with no chance to resist; he could only let the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable manipulate him, helpless.

"This power could be compared to a large nuclear missile," Lin Yifan marveled to himself.

Seeing the casual expression on the face of the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable, this might just be a flick of his wrist for him; if he unleashed his true power, it might rival that of an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb.

Now, he finally understood how terrifying a True Master Realm strong person could be, literally like a god! A snap of their fingers could destroy an aircraft carrier.

Lin Yifan did not know why the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable had brought him here. Could it be because he had flirted with Xiaofang and been affectionate with her? But I didn't do anything just now?

With a nervous heart, Lin Yifan asked tentatively, "Venerable... Venerable, what... what did you bring me here for?"

"Show me a set of the Martial Arts you have learned!" the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable answered in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Venerable, I haven't learned any Martial Arts," Lin Yifan replied.

He had only learned the highly toxic Witchcraft Palm, and he could never mention that; thus, he could only claim he hadn't learned any Martial Arts.

"Aren't you an Alchemist? How is it possible that you haven't learned any Martial Arts? Don't you want to learn?" the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable asked curiously.

An Alchemist could easily obtain Martial Arts Secret Manuals from Cultivators in exchange for the Elixirs they refined; thus, any slightly advanced Alchemist could easily acquire Martial Arts Secret Manuals unless they didn't want to learn.
