"You stubborn girl, listen well, I, Xu Fan, will never let you die before my eyes,"

"In this life, you're destined to be my woman, and no one can take you away from me,"

Holding her hand tightly, Xia Xiaodie felt a pang of heartache as she looked into his burning gaze.

Why does this big fool have to say such things...

Barely holding back her tears, Xia Xiaodie bowed her head in a panic and murmured, "I don't understand what you're saying..."

"Sigh..."

He took a deep breath and then completely gave up on searching.

Since Red Granny had died, it was almost certain that no one could cure the Gu poison, but he was not willing to give up just like that.

Currently, the only chance left was one path.

Xu Fan led Xia Xiaodie out of the thatched cottage right then.

"Master, is that old lady dead?"

At that moment, Zhou Zhanlong and his men hurriedly came to meet them.

The venomous snakes lurking in the forest hadn't followed, but the screams inside the cottage had left the gang puzzled about what exactly had happened inside.

"Yes, have someone take care of it later, the swarm of snakes has receded, let's head out,"

Most of the forest's venomous snakes had been driven there by some means by Red Granny; with her death, the hidden poisonous insects in the dense forest had also dispersed one by one.

Xu Fan commanded his men, then led them out straight away.

Zhou Zhanlong nodded and started to lead the way.

Soon, the group had returned to the entrance of Dongling Village.

Xu Fan got Xia Xiaodie into the car and then instructed Zhou Zhanlong to hurry back to Jinling city center as fast as possible.

By the time they returned to Jinling, it was nearly three in the morning.

"Zhou Zhanlong, tell Lan Sister when you get a chance, I have to leave Jinling for a few days, and she'll handle everything at Lingyan Pavilion, understood?"

Having Zhou Zhanlong get out of the car, Xu Fan sat in the driver's seat and instructed Zhou Zhanlong.

Zhou Zhanlong glanced curiously at Xia Xiaodie sitting in the back of the car, guessing that Xu Fan's departure was mostly related to her, nodded his head, and agreed, "Okay, I got it."

Then, Xu Fan drove the car towards Xia Family's house; when he arrived at the front door of Xia Family's house, he began to dial Xia Yanyu's phone.

Seemingly worried about her sister's whereabouts, Xia Yanyu hadn't fallen deeply asleep; she answered the phone shortly.

"Hello? Xu Fan?"

"I'm at your doorstep, come out, I've brought Xiaodie back,"

"What!"

A shout of surprise came from the phone, followed by the sound of footsteps; it seemed she was too anxious to see her sister to keep talking on the phone.

After waiting outside for about a few minutes, Xia Yanyu, dressed in a light pink silk nightgown, dashed directly towards the SUV parked at the door.

"Sister! You had me so worried!"

"Sis, I'm sorry, I..."

Xia Yanyu, who had run out barefoot, was visibly anxious as she wrapped her arms tightly around herself and immediately burst into tears.

Xia Xiaodie felt somewhat embarrassed because her capriciousness had caused so much worry for her sister.

"There, there, Sis, I'm back now, don't cry, be good,"

She patted her sister's shoulder, comforting her for a while until Xia Yanyu finally let go.

Looking gratefully at Xu Fan, she said,

"Xu... Xu Fan, thank you..."

"Don't thank me yet, I still need to take her somewhere else,"

Xiaodie hasn't yet escaped from danger, Xu Fan shook his head and stated.

"What do you mean?"

Xia Yanyu didn't quite understand. Her sister had already returned, hadn't she? How could...

"I don't have much time to explain, but to save her, I need to leave for Jinling right now."

"This..."

Xia Yanyu glanced at her sister and after a moment of thought, said, "Then I'll go with you."

"..."

Seeing that Xia Yanyu was about to take her sister and get in the car with him, Xu Fan was speechless.

He could understand her feelings, but this time, he had to leave Jinling.

Was she planning to go with him dressed only in her pajamas, probably with nothing underneath?

"Sister, you haven't even dressed yet, how will you go..."

At that moment, Xia Xiaodie awkwardly reminded her, and Xia Yanyu's face turned red; she had been so anxious to see her sister that she had forgotten about that...

"Then... then wait for me, I'll change into my clothes and come right down!"

Xia Yanyu hurried towards the villa's entrance as she spoke.

Watching her sister enter the house, Xia Xiaodie looked eagerly at Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, could you please not tell my sister first."

"I don't want her to worry too much..."

"Hmm, I'll try my best."

Understanding Xia Xiaodie's concerns, Xu Fan nodded and agreed.

Soon, Xia Yanyu was ready and came out again.

After everyone got on the car, Xu Fan drove straight to Jinling Airport.

"Xia Yanyu, prepare three tickets on the fastest flight to Dianzang now."

While driving, Xu Fan issued the instruction to Xia Yanyu.

Right now, the only person he could seek help from was that one person.

Xu Fan took a deep breath, hoping this trip wouldn't disappoint him.

When they arrived at the airport, the person Xia Yanyu had called ahead had already brought the tickets for the three of them.

The next available flight, flying to Dianzang.

The journey from downtown Jinling City to Dongling Village, followed by a fierce fight and the return to Jinling, Xu Fan had hardly had any rest, not to mention Xia Xiaodie who had been under the Red Witch's hands all these days, and Xia Yanyu who had been deeply worried about her sister through the night.

After boarding the flight, the three of them rested immediately.

When they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived at their destination.

As they deplaned, Xia Xiaodie couldn't help but ask,

"Xu Fan, where are you taking me, after all?"

All this time, Xu Fan had not mentioned where exactly he was taking them, and now that Xia Xiaodie asked, Xia Yanyu was also curious.

"Consider it my hometown, Banan Village..."

Xu Fan sighed and said.

Now, he could only seek help from Old Immortal, his own master. Whatever he couldn't handle, perhaps, he could cure Xiaodie of her Gu Poison.

Thinking back, it had been a long time since he last visited.

Xu Fan was filled with memories of the place he had grown up in.

Banan Village, away from the urban hustle and bustle, had air and people that were incredibly simple.

Not at all like the deceitful city people. People in Banan Village, if they say they will kill you, they really will do it, incredibly straightforward...

"Alright, let's first find a place to eat something, take a bit of a rest, and once we are well-rested, we'll continue on the road."
