Joy of Life: Invincible Starting from Basic Swordsmanship

Chapter 64: Fan Ruoruo's Other Side

As soon as they entered the room, Fan Ruoruo urged Ye Chengfeng to drink the medicine.

Helpless, Ye Chengfeng could only pinch his nose and drink it down.

The medicinal properties of various herbs in the world of Joy of Life are not much different from those before the nuclear war.

However, these medicinal materials contain a weak amount of radiation.

Simply put, the medicines in this world have very poor effects on Ye Chengfeng.

"By the way, could Ruoruo deduce the formula for that Qi-Nourishing Pill?"

Thinking about it, Ye Chengfeng took out the pill he had just obtained.

"Ruoruo, take a look at this pill."

"Um, Brother Chengfeng, what kind of effects does this pill have?"

As Fan Ruoruo spoke, she held it in her hand, smelled it carefully, and observed it for a while.

"Such amazing alchemy techniques; even up close, you can only smell a faint medicinal fragrance."

"Based on the aroma analysis, this pill should be made with herbs that strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the vital energy. However, I cannot tell exactly what herbs were used or how many kinds of herbs were used."

"The panel's products are certainly remarkable. Although the pills aren't high-grade, their quality is acceptable. Unfortunately, with Ruoruo's current medical skills, she obviously can't deduce the formula."

Although Ye Chengfeng thought this way, he still asked, unwilling to give up, "Ruoruo, is it possible for you to deduce the pill formula from scratch?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Chengfeng, my medical skills are not good enough. I can't even analyze how many kinds of medicinal materials were used in this pill, let alone deduce the formula."

"Fine, take it and try it. It doesn't matter if it fails."

This pill wouldn't be of much help to Ye Chengfeng, so he finally decided to let Fan Ruoruo try it, just in case it worked.

"Wait, Brother Chengfeng, perhaps one of you can deduce the formula!"

"Who?"

"My brother, I learned my medical skills from him. His medical skills were taught by Fei Jie of the Control Yuan. Medicine and poison are inseparable. Even if my brother can't do it, he can ask Senior Fei Jie for help."

Ye Chengfeng rubbed his forehead. The more he wanted to get rid of Fan Xian, the more he needed to use that guy.

It would have been better if Fan Ruoruo hadn't mentioned Fan Xian, but as soon as she did...

Ye Chengfeng thought of someone who was more likely to deduce the pill formula. That person didn't know medicine, but his ability to deduce the pill formula was far superior to Fan Xian's and Fei Jie's.

That's right, it's the robot Wu Zhu. If Ye Chengfeng asks Fan Xian for help, Fan Xian might ask Wu Zhu for help instead.

"Wait, why are we looking for Wu Zhu? I can ask Xiao Lan!"

"That's one way. I'll go to Nanqing with you in a while, and maybe we can make it to his wedding with Lin Wan'er."

Fan Ruoruo could tell that Ye Chengfeng was somewhat reluctant to go to Nanqing, but even so, Ye Chengfeng was still preparing to take her back to Beiqi. How could she not be moved?

Perhaps she was having too much fun with Xiao Lan, because Fan Ruoruo forgot that she had been "kidnapped" to Dongyi City.

"By the way, Ruoruo, I have a question for you. When you and Xiaolan returned to Dongyi City, did you encounter any danger?"

The mere mention of this made Fan Ruoruo's heart race.

"We did encounter some trouble. We hadn't been out of the capital for long when we were attacked by Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu!"

"What did you say? Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu are chasing you?"

Ye Chengfeng immediately understood why Emperor Qing wanted him to leave the capital as soon as possible.

Emperor Qing's plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone: passing on Ye Chengfeng's true energy in order to destroy the genius martial artist of Dongyi City.

Others may not know the value of sword control, but how could Emperor Qing, a grandmaster, not understand?

Despite having many ninth-rank experts, Emperor Qing believed that none of them could possibly break through to the Grandmaster level.

But Ye Chengfeng is different. Ye Chengfeng's spiritual realm, or mental state level, is too high, far exceeding that of other martial artists of the same level.

Secondly, there's Ye Chengfeng's terrifying comprehension. The level of a rank eight martial artist comprehending sword control techniques is something not just anyone can achieve.

If Ye Chengfeng only possessed one of these qualities, Emperor Qing would not have valued him so much.

Ye Chengfeng happens to have both.

Even grandmasters grow old and die!

Once those four old guys are dead, wouldn't whoever wins over Ye Chengfeng be able to rule the world?

As for killing Ye Chengfeng, Emperor Qing did have such an idea, but he didn't dare to!

After killing Ye Chengfeng, Emperor Qing couldn't imagine what that madman Si Gu Jian would do.

Therefore, Emperor Qing came up with this perfect solution: he used his own true energy to empower Ye Chengfeng, thus damaging Ye Chengfeng's martial arts foundation.

This was done to slow down Ye Chengfeng's breakthrough to the Grandmaster level.

Once Emperor Qing completes his plan to eliminate Grandmasters, if Ye Chengfeng hasn't broken through to Grandmaster level by then, wouldn't he be completely at his mercy?

The idea of ​​agreeing to Ye Chengfeng's marriage proposal to Ye Ling'er was even simpler.

The purpose is the same as the initiation ceremony: to slow down Ye Chengfeng's progress towards becoming a Grandmaster.

For martial artists, cultivating more techniques is not necessarily better, nor is it true that borrowing techniques from grandmasters will accelerate the speed of breakthroughs.

There is an age-old truth: don't bite off more than you can chew!

As for letting Ye Chengfeng leave the capital, that was merely a side effect of Emperor Qing's scheme.

"Ruoruo, could you please call Xiaolan over here? I need to ask him something!"

"Brother Ye, I heard that Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu have already fled Qing Kingdom. You don't need to be in such a hurry. There will always be a chance to take revenge."

Although Fan Ruoruo is kind-hearted, she is not the kind of person who is overly compassionate. Since she knows they are her enemies, she will not show any mercy if she has the opportunity to kill them.

There are many reasons why Fan Ruoruo did not assassinate Emperor Qing in the original novel.

Firstly, Emperor Qing is a Grandmaster, and Fan Ruoruo is not confident that she can hit him 100% of the time if he attacks first.

Secondly, Emperor Qing is Fan Xian's biological father, and in the end, Emperor Qing did not kill Fan Xian, but only wanted to depose Wu Zhu.

As it turns out, Fan Ruoruo's final choice to shoot the body was the right one.

In the original novel, Emperor Qing managed to dodge at the last moment, and the bullet only blew off half of his body.

If it's aimed at the head, it's entirely possible to dodge it.

"Don't worry, Ruoruo, I'm not that reckless. I just want to know exactly what happened back then, and I also want to ask Xiaolan some other things."

Ye Chengfeng gently patted Fan Ruoruo's hand, offering words of comfort and indicating that he wouldn't act impulsively.

"Okay, that puts my mind at ease. I'll go call Sister Xiaolan over."

As for Ye Ling'er and Zhan Pianpian, they were unaware of this matter and naturally had no chance to interject.

Before she could even ask any further questions, Fan Ruoruo pulled her away.

After leaving the house, Ye Ling'er hadn't gone far when she broke free from Fan Ruoruo's grasp.

"Why did you drag me out here? I have so many questions I want to ask him!"

Ye Ling'er frowned.

But she suddenly noticed that Fan Ruoruo's gaze towards her had turned cold.

"I know about your situation. I hope you can figure out why you were able to become Brother Chengfeng's fiancées."

"Don't think that just because Brother Chengfeng has a little bit of affection for you, you can act recklessly."

"Especially you, Miss Ye, this isn't Kyoto, it's Dongyi City!"

Fan Ruoruo's words plunged the two women into an icy abyss. They never expected that the gentle and weak Fan Ruoruo would have such a decisive side.

Fan Ruoruo admires Fan Xian, but that's the feeling of a younger sister admiring her older brother; it's familial affection.

Similarly, Fan Ruoruo likes Ye Chengfeng, and this is love; they are meant to spend their lives together.

These two emotions are not in conflict, and Ye Chengfeng and Fan Xian are not enemies.

Since she has chosen to be with Ye Chengfeng, Fan Ruoruo will naturally consider Ye Chengfeng's feelings.
