Chapter 204: Departure

The status of a Medicine Boy is like that of an apprentice.

Once one's attainments in the Dao of Alchemy reach a certain level, many people will come seeking one out by reputation, willing to become servants just to follow by the Great Master's side.

Unlike a disciple, a Medicine Boy does all sorts of menial tasks, much like a book boy.

But to be able to join the Inner Sect of the Jixian Sect and become the Medicine Boy for the First Seat of Danding Peak, Kong Ping…

One can only imagine how many people would die of envy for such a status.

Although Long Caiwei did not know what a Medicine Boy meant, she nodded and agreed without a second thought.

"I'm willing, I'm willing! I'll go back and tell my father right now."

After saying this, Long Caiwei stood up, turned around with a beaming smile, and ran off… When she pushed open the door and ran several dozen meters away, she suddenly stopped. As if she had remembered something, she turned back and bowed with clasped fists to Kong Ping inside the room.

Then she turned and ran off again… without even closing the door…

Kong Ping gave a wry smile but said nothing. With a flick of his hand, the door closed…

Next to the room, Warrior Feng and He Yutang naturally noticed everything that had happened. Both of them had strange expressions… unsure of what they were thinking.

Long Caiwei informed Long Anhai of this matter that very night.

Long Anhai was stunned… He knew his daughter was bold, but he never imagined she would be this bold.

To run over and ask an Elder of the Jixian Sect to take her as a disciple… and the most important part was that they actually agreed.

Although she wasn't taken as a disciple, at least she was allowed to join the Jixian Sect. Long Anhai was bewildered… Was joining the Jixian Sect really that easy?

He didn't even have time to lecture Long Caiwei; he grabbed her and headed straight for Ancestor Long Zizai's residence. He told Ancestor Long Zizai about this matter that same night…

Ancestor Long Zizai was also bewildered… He had naturally heard of Medicine Boys…

Although he didn't know what grade of Alchemist Kong Ping was, judging by his bearing and the quality of the Medicinal Pill he had given Xiao Fan to consume, he was at the very least a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.

To be a Medicine Boy for a Fourth-Grade Alchemist… one could only imagine how many Alchemists dreamed of such a thing.

"Good, Caiwei, go!" After realizing this, Ancestor Long Zizai clapped his hands in excitement. Seeing such an expression on the white-haired Elder was extremely rare.

"That's wonderful!" Upon hearing this, Long Caiwei jumped up, overcome with excitement.

Long Anhai gave a wry smile. Although he was reluctant to let his daughter leave, joining the Jixian Sect was a tremendous Opportunity. Moreover, she was to become the Medicine Boy of an Elder. Perhaps this was Long Caiwei's Opportunity…

The next day… as dawn broke… Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin left the guest courtyard.

The two had talked all night, pouring out all their longing for each other. Of course, they hadn't done anything intimate as husband and wife…

The one-armed Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin arrived at the Long Mansion's main hall. Kong Ping, Warrior Feng, and the other five Elders were all present.

Today was the day to depart and return to the Jixian Sect.

Ancestor Long Zizai, Long Anhai, and a host of clan Elders were all there. Long Caiwei stood beside Long Anhai, her face showing a mix of reluctance and excitement…

Xiao Fan noticed this and found it rather strange… What was the meaning of this girl's expression? Why did it seem as if she were leaving too?

Furthermore, based on Xiao Fan's understanding of Long Caiwei, shouldn't she be running over to pester him right now?

However, he didn't have time to think too much about it, so he bowed with clasped fists to Kong Ping and the other Elders. Long Miaoyin followed suit and bowed as well…

The Elders nodded, and Kong Ping smiled, saying, "Let us go then."

Xiao Fan nodded. The group didn't even eat breakfast and went straight outside the Long Mansion…

"Take care of yourself in the Jixian Sect." Tears welled up in Long Miaoyin's eyes and slowly rolled down…

Everyone around watched this young couple, each lost in their own thoughts…

Long Anhai sighed, glanced at his eldest daughter and Xiao Fan, then fixed his gaze on Long Caiwei: "You must also take care of yourself… Don't cause trouble. When you get there, if you have any issues, remember to find your brother-in-law. Do you understand?"

Long Caiwei nodded obediently: "I know, Father. Don't worry, if I have any issues, I will definitely find my brother-in-law."

Hearing this, everyone from the Long family—except for Ancestor Long Zizai—instantly fixed their gaze on Long Caiwei… Even Jiang Yushan and Elder Cao Mu were the same… Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin, who were in the middle of saying goodbye, were also taken aback…

Suddenly, the hand Xiao Fan was holding with Long Miaoyin trembled… His expression changed, and he looked at Long Anhai and Long Caiwei with a gaze of shock and inquiry.

Long Caiwei wore a shy expression and said nothing.

Long Anhai smiled and said, "Xiao Fan, Elder Kong has already taken Caiwei as a Medicine Boy, and she will also be going to the Jixian Sect. Once you are there, remember to take good care of your little sister."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan felt his head buzz. Long Caiwei was going too…

"Brother-in-law." With a radiant smile on her face, Long Caiwei trotted over to Xiao Fan's side. "You have to take good care of me when we get there."

Xiao Fan did not speak. This news came too suddenly for him, leaving him unable to process it. He looked at Kong Ping with a bewildered gaze.

Kong Ping stroked his beard, smiling, and nodded slightly at Xiao Fan: "That's right, I have already taken Caiwei as a Medicine Boy."

As he spoke, he was quite satisfied with Xiao Fan's shocked expression. He thought to himself… No need to thank me, it's only right.

Once I've taken in your sister-in-law, won't you have to obediently join my Danding Peak?

Xiao Fan was stunned… His first reaction was: Old bastard… you're trying to harm me.
