Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402

Zhou Ruoran held Taozi tightly, hearing Taozi's words, tears involuntarily flowed down. Zhou Ruoran knew in her heart that Taozi was her best friend in the Cultivation World, and truly helped her. This time, the great senior sister Zhou Xiaochun wanted to deal with her, but Taozi stood by her without hesitation, even willing to sacrifice her own life to protect her.

This friendship, Zhou Ruoran deeply etched in her heart. For a moment, Zhou Ruoran held Taozi tightly, tears flowing continuously, but she didn't know what to say. At this moment, thousands of words were in her heart for Taozi, which couldn't be finished even in three days and nights.

But at this moment, Taozi had already made her decision to stay in the Jade Maiden Sect, and she herself was destined to be with Ding Fan. This parting, Zhou Ruoran didn't know when she would see Taozi again, perhaps never in this lifetime.

For a moment, Zhou Ruoran felt a myriad of emotions in her heart, unable to say a word, only holding Taozi tighter. Zhou Ruoran couldn't bear to part with her, but she had to separate...

"Taozi, take care... Practice more in your free time with the things I taught you... We'll meet again if there's a chance..."

"Don't worry! Stay safe out there! We'll always be good sisters!"

"Mmm, mmm!" Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Taozi slowly let go of Zhou Ruoran, her eyes still filled with tears, but her mouth involuntarily curled into a smile. Watching Zhou Ruoran cry like a pear blossom bathed in rain, she wiped the tears off her face with her hand and said with a tearful smile:

"If you keep crying, I might just become prettier than you!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Ruoran couldn't help but break into a smile. Looking at the other, this girl was always so joyful, but it was truly a good thing...

At this moment, Ding Fan walked to Zhou Ruoran's side, sincerely saying to Taozi:

"Thank you for taking care of Ruoran during this time. Here are a few insignificant Medicine Pills, I hope you will accept them."

After speaking, Ding Fan handed a Jade Bottle in his hand to Taozi. Ding Fan could see the deep feelings between Zhou Ruoran and Taozi, and he had seen how Taozi treated Ruoran before. Ding Fan was filled with gratitude to Taozi, knowing that without such a friend, seeing Ruoran might have been impossible.

Therefore, Ding Fan definitely wanted to express his gratitude, offering the Medicine Pills he refined with the rare Spiritual Materials given by Elder Wang. Though these pills were precious, Ding Fan wasn't heartbroken at all, instead feeling like what he did wasn't enough.

Ding Fan was extremely grateful to those who rescued Ruoran. He then looked at Elder Wu, saying:

"Taozi is our friend, I hope you can take good care of her!"

"No problem, no problem! Brother Ding Fan, don't worry. Taozi is an outstanding disciple of ours. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, we would take good care of her. After all, the previous issues were just misunderstandings, we wouldn't blame Taozi!"

Hearing Ding Fan's words, Elder Wu cheerfully replied. Even if Ding Fan hadn't mentioned it, Elder Wu was well aware of the deep relationship between Taozi and Zhou Ruoran. He and the Sect naturally intended to take good care of Taozi, as befriending Ding Fan was a strategic move.

Ding Fan knew that the other knew his identity as a Grade Nine Alchemist, and definitely wanted to befriend him. Even if not, they wouldn't offend him, thus Ding Fan was assured that Taozi wouldn't be bullied in the Sect and would be well taken care of on his behalf.

Ding Fan believed that though the other was currently just a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, with the Medicine Pill he provided, advancing to the Emergence Stage Late Period wouldn't be a problem. A cultivator at the Emergence Stage Late Period held substantial status within the Sect, and by then, Taozi wouldn't be bullied.

Afterwards, Ding Fan and the others left the Jade Maiden Sect...

After Ding Fan and the others left the Jade Maiden Sect, everything returned to normal.

That night, Elder Wu informed the Jade Maiden Sect's Sect Master about what happened during the day. Hearing that Zhou Ruoran had left the Sect, the sect master felt a bit sad. Clearly, Zhou Ruoran was a disciple she was very proud of, and Zhou Ruoran was obedient and cute. If it wasn't for the Sect's interests, she really didn't want to marry Zhou Ruoran to Hao Chun.

However, what the Sect Master didn't know was that Zhou Ruoran actually had a husband, who was a Grade Nine Alchemist and champion of the recent Great Alchemy Competition, which shocked her considerably. She clearly agreed with Elder Wu's actions and immediately punished Zhou Xiaochun.

Apparently, Zhou Xiaochun had acted without her approval, using force against Zhou Ruoran. Now that Zhou Ruoran was unharmed, all was well. But if anything had happened to Zhou Ruoran, the sect master knew Zhou Ruoran's husband, Ding Fan, wouldn't spare the Sect.

Their Sect was just a small one, certainly unable to offend a Grade Nine Alchemist. Even a Great Gate Sect wouldn't easily offend a Grade Nine Alchemist, given the immense Power of such an alchemist and their enormous potential. It's clear that not even ordinary sects could afford to offend them; just dealing with their friends would be trouble enough for the Sect.

Now it seems that the sect master is indeed somewhat fearful. As for Ding Fan's friends, the Jade Maiden Sect Master doesn't know them, but is at least aware of one who has already shown his face, and that is Lin Qi. That Lin Qi, being the City Lord of Dancheng, is clearly not someone the Jade Maiden Sect can handle. Now thinking about it, the Jade Maiden Sect Master feels a bit fearful.

He couldn't help but immediately remove all of Zhou Xiaochun's duties within the sect. At this moment, Zhou Xiaochun is merely an ordinary disciple who has been around for a while.

Clearly, she no longer has any authority, and previously, Zhou Xiaochun had bullied many sect disciples relying on her authority within the sect. How could those sect disciples let go of such a good opportunity now! Obviously, Zhou Xiaochun's days ahead will not be easy...

As for Taozi, after returning to her room that day, upon hearing about Zhou Xiaochun's situation, Taozi was very happy, feeling that justice had been served! Momentarily, Taozi wanted to go out to find Zhou Ruoran to good news, but she suddenly stood at the door. Zhou Ruoran was already gone...

Thinking of Zhou Ruoran, Taozi couldn't help but feel very sad in her heart. During the day, she might have forcibly put on a very cheerful facade, but inside, Taozi was very reluctant to part with Zhou Ruoran.

"Be happy, Ranran! We will always be the best sisters..."

Taozi, sitting at the bedside, unconsciously played with the jade bottle given by Ding Fan, her eyes welled up, and she choked as she murmured to herself.

Taozi, feeling very sentimental, subconsciously opened the jade bottle given by Ding Fan, and suddenly a very strong medicinal fragrance wafted out, causing Taozi to freeze, her tears stopping abruptly. Staring at the medicine pills emitting a rich medicinal aroma in the jade bottle, Taozi was dumbfounded!

"Supreme Quality Medicine Pill!"

Taozi was extremely shocked; she never expected that the medicine pills Ding Fan gave her would turn out to be Supreme Quality Medicine Pills. Taozi took a simple look at the jade bottle, which was evidently full of pills, almost twenty in number, each one being a Supreme Quality Medicine Pill!

In an instant, Taozi quickly sealed the jade bottle, then looked around somewhat cautiously, and only after finding no one did she feel relieved. However, Taozi's heart was still filled with shock, her heart pounding intensely! This was simply too astounding!

One must know that these were Supreme Quality Medicine Pills.

When Ding Fan gave her the pills, evidently Taozi didn't pay much attention, her mind full of the thought of parting with Zhou Ruoran, and evidently, no one around noticed Ding Fan handing Taozi the pill bottle. The jade bottle was very ordinary, merely a common bottle used for regular medicine pills, and Ding Fan had also said they were just some worthless pills. Clearly, at that time, no one paid attention to the jade bottle in Taozi's hands.

Even Taozi herself hadn't thought that the bottle of pills given to her could all be Supreme Quality Medicine Pills! And that was a whole bottle!

One must know that even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator obtaining a single Supreme Quality Medicine Pill is a rare occurrence. Yet here she was with a whole bottle of Supreme Quality Medicine Pills, which was simply too shocking!

At this moment, Taozi was incredibly shocked. Obviously, with this bottle of Supreme Quality Medicine Pills, her cultivation would certainly advance by leaps and bounds. Instantly, Taozi felt extremely happy, hurriedly pouring out all the Supreme Quality Medicine Pills from the bottle, then placing each one into a safe spot, counting a total of twenty-two pills, surprising her immensely.

Subsequently, Taozi secreted each pill in different places. Taozi knew that if these Supreme Quality Medicine Pills were known to others, it would surely invite death.

In no time, Taozi had hidden all twenty-two pills, then sat on a chair and exhaled a long sigh of relief.

Taozi's thoughts now turned to her cultivation for the day, considering that with so many Supreme Quality Medicine Pills, her clumsy talent would still allow her to reach the early Emergence Stage in cultivation. No, at the very least, the mid Emergence Stage! It even seemed like reaching the late Emergence Stage was not out of the question!

"No, no, the late Emergence Stage is just too far-fetched... it's simply unthinkable, I'll be happy as long as I reach the mid Emergence Stage... hehe..."

Reclining in the chair, Taozi thought about her future cultivation, knowing that she might wake up laughing from such dreams...

At this time, if Ding Fan knew that her ultimate goal was only to become a mid Emergence Stage cultivator, he would probably vomit blood! Knowing that the whole bottle contained Supreme Quality Medicine Pills, the minimum should be the late Emergence Stage, if not even the late Spirit Severing Stage wasn't an impossibility...

After leaving the Jade Maiden Sect, Ding Fan expressed sincere gratitude to Lin Qi. Ding Fan knew that if not for Lin Qi arriving in time, he would have been separated from Zhou Ruoran by life and death, and certainly wouldn't be alive now. Even though Ding Fan was confident he could heavily wound Elder Fang, it would inevitably cost him his life due to the elder's much higher cultivation level. Clearly, he was different from the Spirit Severing elder Ding Fan had slain before!

Moreover, the previous Spirit Severing elder indeed didn't possess as high a cultivation level as this elder.

Hearing these words of gratitude, Lin Qi became very anxious, and hurriedly stopped Ding Fan, pleading:

"Please don't be courteous with me, alright? I'm begging you!"
