Chapter 1483 1484: Xiaofang's Poison Flare-Up
"If I abandon other women because of this, it would be unfair to them, and I really can't do that."
"Alas!"
Su Qingqing's parents sighed, truly not knowing what to do.
Actually, their biggest fear was that their daughter would not be happy, otherwise, there were no major issues.
Thinking about the future path of life, which their daughter would have to walk on her own, they felt that letting go and respecting Qingqing's decision might not be a bad thing, so they asked, "Daughter, do you really think this will make you happy?"
"After spending some time together, I believe it will!"
Su Qingqing responded with great certainty, though she didn't know why she was so sure, that's just how she felt.
"Alright then! Since you believe it will make you happy, we won't stop you. Just remember, this path is your own choice, don't regret it later."
"I have no regrets."
Su's parents shook their heads and gave a bittersweet smile, feeling utterly helpless, they really couldn't stop their daughter any longer.
"Yifan, it's fine for us old folks to be cooped up here, but my two children are still young and can't endure such a boring life, so please resolve the issues outside quickly and let them out."
"Don't worry, Uncle and Aunt, give me a little over a year. Once I resolve the issues outside, I'll take you away from here," Lin Yifan replied.
"Okay! We will trust you this once."
A year's time isn't too long, by then they will know for certain.
With the conflict resolved, Lin Yifan took Su Qingqing's family to explore the scenery here and showed them the place where they would reside.
Upon stepping into the room, Su's parents discovered that apart from its exterior, which had an ancient architectural style, the interior was almost entirely modernized.
There were toilets, bathrooms, washrooms, electric lights, kettles, solar power, high beds, soft pillows, and so on, all very much like a five-star hotel outside, not much different at all.
This was much better than where they used to live.
"Uncle, Aunt, how is it? Are you satisfied?" Lin Yifan asked.
"Not bad at all, there's a garden, a pool, a pond, modern vehicles and electrical appliances, it's like a luxury resort, we're very satisfied!"
Su's parents felt like they weren't here to escape hardship but rather to enjoy a vacation. If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have lost their temper.
From this, it could be seen that Lin Yifan was indeed very wealthy, and they no longer needed to worry about basic living needs or their children's future paths.
Once Lin Yifan resolved the issues outside, they could truly enjoy their later years in peace.
Su Qingqing's siblings were also quite pleased.
Initially, they thought they would have to live primitively, but they were unexpectedly living in a resort-like setting, which was truly enjoyable.
The only downside was that the place was a bit small.
"As long as you like it, there's plenty of network TV and movies I've downloaded. If you're bored, you can watch them," Lin Yifan said.
"You even have TV and movies? You really thought of everything," Su's parents couldn't help but compliment.
They had always been unsure of the purpose of the TV and computer in the room, but upon being told this, they finally understood.
"I know everyone feels aggrieved staying here, so I'm trying my best to make everything as perfect as possible," Lin Yifan answered.
"Alright, as long as you treat my daughter Qingqing well, I won't ask for anything else."
"That goes without saying, I will cherish her like precious jade, taking good care of her."
...
With the tensions eased, everyone began to get along well and lived a homely life.
Seeing the happy smiles on her parents' faces, Su Qingqing felt very satisfied.
For all that Lin Yifan had done for her, she felt indebted. She only wanted to quietly stay by Lin Yifan's side, serving him and doing what she could for him.
...
Several days later, Xiao Fang suddenly fell ill, suffering in agony, her whole body turning dark as if poisoned.
She hadn't taken the antidote for several months, and it was now the time for the poison to manifest.
Lin Yifan knew that Gao Ziyun had targeted Xiao Fang to restrain him; that old man really would stoop to anything.
But Gao Ziyun didn't realize that even the Medicine Saint couldn't handle him, let alone an inexperienced person like him.
So it was quite easy for him to cleanse Xiao Fang of the poison.
He used the Poison Absorbing Method of the black pearl, completely absorbing all the poison in Xiao Fang's body.
Recovered and as good as new, Xiao Fang was very puzzled.
She remembered never having taken any poison or coming into contact with anything toxic, so how could she suddenly be poisoned?
"Yifan, what kind of poison is this?"
"It's a slow-acting poison that might have been lurking in your body for a few months," Lin Yifan answered.
"A few months? But I never came into contact with anything poisonous, so how did I get poisoned?"
"It could be that someone within the Sect wants to use you to restrain me."
"Why would fellow people from the same Sect do such a thing?"
"Perhaps they are traitors, after the ring. Or maybe they don't want me to become the future Valley Master of Medicinal Saint Valley, so they took this opportunity to eliminate me."
"Who could possibly do this?"
Xiao Fang was confused and couldn't think of anyone in the Sect who would be so malicious.
"I don't know, so for now, you should stay here and not go anywhere, understood?" Lin Yifan instructed seriously.
"Understood."
...
Meanwhile, in a forest outside of Medicinal Saint Valley, Gao Ziyun was anxiously waiting for Lin Yifan to appear.
Because, by his calculations, it should be around the time for the poison to take effect, and Lin Yifan should return to the Medicinal Saint Valley to seek him out for the antidote.
He originally thought Lin Yifan would show up as expected, but to his surprise, after waiting more than half a day, Lin Yifan never appeared, making him suspicious.
"Could it be that he knows Xiao Fang is poisoned? Has he already researched the antidote?
"Impossible, this poison was researched and refined by me personally, no one can solve it but me."
Gao Ziyun didn't believe that Lin Yifan had detoxified Xiao Fang, so he continued to wait in place.
He didn't return to wait at the Medicinal Saint Valley because it had already been occupied by cultivators from various great Sects.
Though it appeared empty on the outside, it was heavily ambushed inside, just waiting for the remaining people of Medicinal Saint Valley to walk into the trap.
He wasn't foolish enough to go in and meet his death.
And so he waited and waited, and three days later, at the last moment before it was too late for the poison, Lin Yifan still hadn't appeared, driving him to despair.
"Could that damn kid have already refined the antidote and detoxified Xiao Fang? Could it be that after that incident, they didn't escape the grasp of the Bloodsucking Sect? Could it be they were killed?"
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, unsure of the truth.
What was certain was that Lin Yifan would not be showing up anytime soon, and there was no need for him to risk staying here, so he decided to leave.
