Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Another Token of Trust_1

Originally, Ning Fan and Xu Yourong were situated directly above the Wannian Xuanbing, and Xu Yourong had a piece of Profound Ice Shard in her hand, which, in theory, should have been able to temporarily freeze the eruption of the Love Poison within their bodies.

However, such was the depth of their affection that not even the Wannian Xuanbing could keep it at bay.

To alleviate the pain, the only solution was for the two to diminish their yearning and feelings for each other.

After embracing each other for a long time, Ning Fan, with a splash, leapt into the waters once more, returning to the side of the Wannian Xuanbing at the bottom of the Cold Ice Pool.

With the previous experience to guide him, Ning Fan aimed for another sharp corner of the Wannian Xuanbing, exerting all his physical strength and Spiritual Power, ceaselessly pounding it with his fists and ramming it with his body.

Before long, Ning Fan had managed to break off another piece of ice the size of a fingernail from the corner of the Wannian Xuanbing.

Ning Fan clutched the ice fragment as he surfaced, found a red string to tie it with, and then bound it around his left wrist.

Carrying this piece of Profound Ice Shard with him in the future, he would be able to somewhat suppress the Love Poison within his body.

When Ning Fan returned to the wooden boat house, Yuan Hongmian and Hua Nishang had also arrived.

"Young Ning, it seems that you and Miss Xu won’t be able to leave Myriad Flowers Valley for a while, so I have an impudent request, and I hope you can comply," Yuan Hongmian said.

"Aunt Yuan, please speak," Ning Fan said.

"In Myriad Flowers Valley, we have tens of thousands of medicinal herbs, many of which are rare treasures; besides, we have valuables like Flower Servant Elixirs and Myriad Flowers Elixirs... Martial Sects might not have dared to covet them in the past, but now that the strength of Myriad Flowers Valley has greatly diminished, headless and leaderless, I cannot ensure that those Martial Sects won’t harbor ill intentions... Therefore, I wish to ask you, Young Ning, to take on the position of the next Valley Master!" Yuan Hongmian said solemnly.

"You want me to become the Valley Master of Myriad Flowers Valley? That’s improper; after all, I am an outsider," Ning Fan rejected the idea without a second thought, shaking his head.

"Young Ning, with your relationship with my daughter, you are hardly an outsider. I’ve long stopped treating you as one! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have revealed the weakness of the Myriad Flowers Great Formation to you before..." Yuan Hongmian shook her head.

Hua Nishang did not speak, but she was shyly looking at Ning Fan.

Xu Yourong was also gazing at Ning Fan with her beautiful eyes.

"Miss Xu, listen to me explain..." Ning Fan’s first instinct was to not let Xu Yourong misunderstand and he immediately began to explain.

But Xu Yourong promptly extended her hand to cover his mouth, shook her head gently, and whispered, "Ning Fan, you don’t need to explain to me; I believe you."

Touched, Ning Fan nodded and turned to Yuan Hongmian, saying, "Aunt Yuan, I definitely cannot accept the position of Valley Master, but if Myriad Flowers Valley faces powerful foes, I will surely not stand idly by."

"Regarding the position of Valley Master, I suggest that Miss Hua take the role instead."

"Miss Hua may be young, but her strength is far from weak. Plus, she is intelligent and capable enough to manage the valley affairs effectively; moreover, as the daughter of the previous Valley Master and with Aunt Yuan’s support from behind, she truly is the best candidate for Valley Master."

Ning Fan urged Hua Nishang to become the Valley Master partly because he was somewhat afraid of her clinginess.

If Hua Nishang took the role of Valley Master, she would naturally devote most of her energy to managing Myriad Flowers Valley, thus having less time to pester him.

Though Ning Fan was doing his ’little calculation,’ the suggestion itself was quite astute. Seeing Ning Fan’s resolute attitude, Yuan Hongmian had no choice but to accept his suggestion and appoint Hua Nishang as Valley Master.

"Aunt Yuan, there’s also the matter of canceling the engagement..." Ning Fan took advantage of the situation to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement with Hua Nishang once again.

"Hmph, if you want me to be Valley Master, I’ll be Valley Master! But if you think I’ll agree to cancel our engagement, that’s utterly impossible!"

Hua Nishang huffed, leaving a harsh word behind as she stormed off the wooden boat house.

Ning Fan let out a wry smile, shook his head, and said nothing to keep her, nor did he go after her.

"Young Ning, although I can’t agree to the annulment for Nishang, I can give you the keepsake your mother left behind," Yuan Hongmian said with a helpless shake of her head.

After speaking, she took a Jade Mini Sword the size of a palm from her pocket and handed it to Ning Fan.

"Thank you, Aunt Yuan."

Ning Fan hurriedly received it.

As a keepsake left by his mother, this Jade Mini Sword was surely no ordinary object; he put it away for the moment, then continued discussing the condition of Xu Yourong with Yuan Hongmian.

With tens of thousands of medicinal herbs in Myriad Flowers Valley and the successive Valley Masters skilled in miraculous healing arts, Yuan Hongmian, the former Valley Master’s wife, was naturally not far behind.

In fact, even the medical skills of Hua Nishang were not inferior to those so-called divine healers outside.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stated at first sight that Xu Yourong was near death.

"Miss Xu’s condition is quite unique. She was first gravely injured, her internal organs were failing, yet she was barely kept alive by a strange vitality; then she took the Flower Servant Elixir, but managed to retain her consciousness under its effects, also afflicted by the Love Poison, and lastly, she is barely maintaining a balance thanks to the power of the Wannian Xuanbing... this situation is unheard of, and healing her... probably only by complete rejuvenation..." Yuan Hongmian shook her head repeatedly.
