The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1039: How about becoming Dao companions with the young lady?

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: How about becoming Dao companions with the young lady?

Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that they didn’t know he had already become the Sect Master of Feiyu Sect.

But he still smiled and said, "That’s quite an exaggeration, a high-level alchemist isn’t so rare."

"It’s true that a high-level alchemist isn’t rare, but a young high-level alchemist like Daoist Xu is a different matter," Xiong Lin said earnestly. "Including the Five Great Sect Young Masters, what they value is your future potential."

"To become a high-level alchemist at your current age—what heights you might reach in the future, nobody can predict."

"So rather than saying they are courting the current you, it’s more like they are investing in the future you!"

Ning Fan didn’t respond but simply gazed at the drifting clouds in the sky.

If he truly belonged to Kunlun, he might have been ecstatic in the face of such a situation.

Unfortunately, he was only here searching for traces of his father.

In a way, the entire Kunlun was his enemy.

When the two returned to Fuguang Sect, Sect Master Wei Tianyuan had been waiting for a long time in the Sect Main Hall.

Seeing Ning Fan’s return, he immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

"Daoist Xu, I’ve finally waited for your return. I was worried that you might be whisked away by the young masters of the Five Great Sects."

Ning Fan smiled and said, "Sect Master Wei jests. May I know why Sect Master Wei invited me back? Is there any advice you have for me?"

Wei Tianyuan waved his hand, and immediately a disciple stepped forward with a Storage Ring.

"Daoist Xu, this is all the Spirit Stones you’ve earned from the auction of the elixirs. This time, my Fuguang Sect won’t take a single coin."

"That won’t do," Ning Fan immediately objected. "That’s what you should collect..."

"Daoist Xu, there’s no need for more words. You saved my daughter’s life; do you think her life is not worth these many Spirit Stones?"

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Ning Fan had no choice but to accept the Storage Ring.

"Also, Daoist Xu, you saved my daughter’s life, and she has yet to thank you in person," Wei Tianyuan said as he called Wei Qiuwan over.

Wei Qiuwan was clearly dressed with care today, wearing a white long dress, her fair face beaming with the freshness of spring, appearing like a poem of spring itself.

"Mr. Xu, Qiu Wan would like to express her gratitude for your life-saving grace here."

Ning Fan hurriedly helped her up, feeling somewhat perplexed in his heart.

Hadn’t she already thanked him at the auction?

Did this father and daughter lose their memory?

Wei Tianyuan chuckled and asked, "What do you think of my daughter, Daoist Xu?"

"Miss Qiu Wan is naturally a peerless beauty. I believe she will surely have a good match in the future," Ning Fan praised.

Wei Tianyuan took a step forward, winking and hinting, "Since that is the case, how about Daoist Xu becomes dao partners with my daughter?"

"Cough, cough, cough... What did you say?"

Ning Fan choked, spewing out a mouthful of tea; he hadn’t expected Wei Tianyuan to have such a matter in mind when saying there was something to discuss.

"Hey, Daoist Xu, there’s no need to be so surprised. You and my daughter are of similar age. Ever since you saved her, she hasn’t stopped talking about you!"

"If Daoist Xu has no objections, perhaps you could stay a little longer at Fuguang Sect to develop your relationship!"

Wei Qiu Wan’s face flushed, but she did not speak against it, apparently having no objections to Wei Tianyuan’s proposal.

Ning Fan didn’t want to bring such trouble back to Feiyu Sect. After pondering for a moment, he spoke softly, "Actually... not to hide it from Sect Master Wei, I already have a fiancée."

Wei Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand nonchalantly: "I thought it was something serious. For us cultivators, having multiple dao partners is very common. Besides, my daughter isn’t the jealous type, she surely won’t interfere with the relationship between you and your fiancée."

Ning Fan was shocked.

My goodness, are you listening to what you’re saying?

That’s your own daughter!

Xiong Lin also came up and whispered, "Daoist Xu, now you believe that everything I told you on the mountain path was true, right?"

Ning Fan had not expected that the identity of a high-level alchemist would be so coveted that Wei Tianyuan would even be willing to marry off his daughter just to bind him.

But he was not a man of Kunlun; he would have to leave one day.

Moreover, he already had Xu Yourong, and naturally could not accept another woman.

"Sect Master Wei, I appreciate your kindness, but I love my fiancée very much, so I won’t accept any other dao partners. I hope Sect Master Wei understands."

Seeing Ning Fan’s resolute stance, Wei Tianyuan fell silent for a moment, then let out a sigh of regret, "Since Daoist Xu is so determined, it seems there’s no fate between him and my daughter."

"Thank you, Sect Master Wei, for your understanding, and thank you, Miss Qiu Wan, for your affection. I’m sure you will meet a better dao partner." Ning Fan turned and bowed to Wei Qiuwan.

On Wei Qiuwan’s delicate and tender face, a smile was barely mustered, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with tears.

Still bowing, she replied to Ning Fan, "Then I’ll take Mr. Xu’s auspicious words."

With the matter settled, Ning Fan prepared to take his leave from Wei Tianyuan and return to his sect, planning to use a Magic Artifact to find clues about his father.

Just as he was about to leave, Wei Tianyuan called out to Ning Fan once more.

"Daoist Xu, there is something I feel I must remind you of. Although the young masters of the Five Great Sects are enthusiastic in inviting you, the Five Great Sects would never allow you to fall into the hands of any one sect."
