Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Return to the Provincial Capital_1

Su Qingcheng also covered her mouth with her hand, tears having long since dampened her lapel.

By the time Ning Fan had stopped, his face had become extremely aged, his full head of black hair had completely turned white.

Only those deep black eyes still sparkled with a breathtaking light.

In order not to let Xu Yourong discover her abnormality, Su Qingcheng had already left the wooden cabin boat.

Alone together in a room, the atmosphere gradually became somewhat ambiguous.

"Ning Fan, I never thought time could pass so quickly, we have already experienced so much together..." Xu Yourong said softly, her face tinged with red.

Ning Fan nodded slightly, his eyes also reflecting a hint of reminiscence.

"Yes, thinking about it now, those things feel as if they only happened yesterday."

"We have not only the past but also the future; we are still young and have plenty of time."

In his eyes, as he looked at Xu Yourong, there was only tenderness.

With her head lowered, Xu Yourong murmured, "We will surely grow old together..."

"Right, nothing and no one can stop me from growing old with you!" Ning Fan declared emphatically.

Powerful self-confidence rose from him.

For Xu Yourong, for their future, Ning Fan had to become stronger, so strong that no one would dare to target the people around him with their schemes and conspiracies!

"Cough cough..." A sudden coughing sound broke the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

Seeing Su Qingcheng’s return, Xu Yourong shyly covered her head with the blanket.

Ning Fan was calm, looking at Su Qingcheng and saying, "Miss Su, I am about to start my journey to the Celestial Forbidden Grounds. Please take care of Miss Xu!"

To become stronger, he needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Sea Spirit Fruit might only exist in the Celestial Forbidden Grounds!

Su Qingcheng responded promptly, "Okay! Go with peace of mind, I will take good care of Yourong."

She did not plan to leave either, as the spiritual energy in Myriad Flowers Valley was much richer than other places; she intended to cultivate here, striving to enter the threshold of cultivation as soon as possible!

"Ning Fan, be careful."

"If it’s not feasible, don’t force it; you’ve already done enough for me," said Xu Yourong, taking hold of Ning Fan’s hand and speaking in a gentle voice.

Ning Fan did not reply, only silently nodding his head before walking out of the wooden cabin boat.

Outside the wooden cabin boat, Ning Fan’s soft voice gradually echoed.

"I must obtain the Sea Spirit Fruit, no matter who or what stands in my way, be it god or Buddha!"

In his simple and unadorned words, there was an unwavering determination.

For Xu Yourong, Ning Fan would spare no expense!

After saying a word to Hua Nishang, Ning Fan left Myriad Flowers Valley with Huo Erba.

...

Before heading to the Celestial Forbidden Grounds, they returned to the provincial city.

Upon entering the villa, a figure rushed out from inside at lightning speed and clung to Ning Fan.

"Master, you’re finally back! Shuang’er missed you to death!"

Ning Fan showed a helpless smile and pulled Shuang’er down from his body.

Then, with a stern face, he said, "Men and women should not be so casual with each other. What would others think of me if they saw this?"

"Yes, yes, Master, you are right, Shuang’er remembers!" Shuang’er responded expansively.

Seeing her behave like this, Ning Fan could only shake his head in resignation.

"Right, Master, Lin Xiaoling has already returned to River City, and Ma Li is now officially serving as the general manager of the Tianling Biology’s provincial city branch," Shuang’er reported the recent events in full.

As there was nothing urgent, Ning Fan did not inquire further.

He observed Shuang’er, sensing the latent power within her, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Not bad, you’ve consolidated the Qi Refinement fifth level cultivation. It seems you haven’t been lazy."

Shuang’er had completely stabilized her cultivation at the Qi Refinement fifth level, which was enough to show how diligently she had been cultivating during this period.

Pleased with Ning Fan’s praise, Shuang’er’s face revealed a proud expression.

"Hmph! Master, have a look at what kind of person your Shuang’er is!"

"Shuang’er is the one who listens to Master the most. You told me to cultivate diligently, how could I dare to slack off!"

"Master, with my strength now, I’m not too weak. Shouldn’t you take me out to see the world?" Shuang’er looked at Ning Fan eagerly, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Although Qi Refinement fifth level was far inferior to Ning Fan’s strength, it was already much stronger than ordinary grandmasters, and naturally, Shuang’er wanted to venture out and test her skills against others.

"What, you’re itching for a fight?"

"With only Qi Refinement fifth level, do you really think you’re invincible?" Ning Fan rebuked without mincing words.

In both the martial path and the path of cultivation, pride and arrogance were the greatest taboos.

Throughout history, there were countless people who had died due to pride and arrogance, including powerful martial artists.

Shuang’er pouted, somewhat defiantly saying, "Being invincible is naturally impossible; with you as my master, at most I would only be the second strongest in the world."

"You girl..." Ning Fan was somewhat exasperated, finding Shuang’er somewhat difficult to handle.

He could actually understand Shuang’er’s current mentality; possessing such power at a young age, it was natural to feel a bit elated.

To completely eliminate her proud and arrogant emotions, the only way was for her to realize the gap between herself and others.
