"Since this is your uniquely designed hidden weapon, I'll demonstrate it to you. I doubt you'd dare to play any tricks." With that, he placed the lighter in his palm and handed it over.
White-haired Rat took the lighter and handed it to Blue Girl, then crossed his arms over his chest with his sword, staring intently at her.
Lan Yamei chuckled inwardly, thinking, "How could a lighter scare the infamous White-haired Rat of the martial arts world like this!" But she still politely said thank you before accepting it.
He fiddled with it in his palm for a while before casually making up a story, "This Boundless Flowing Fire was originally invented so that fire could be carried around without fear of rain or extinguishing. Of course, you have tinderboxes. But no matter how good a tinderbox is, you still have to take it out to check it every few hours, and it can't keep burning for a year. But the Boundless Flowing Fire is different; one can last for more than a year, so it's called Boundless Flowing Fire."
After saying that, he casually pressed the switch, and pop! A small blue flame lit up.
The three were startled. Ever since they retrieved the Boundless Flowing Fire from the scene, they had been unable to find the switch. So that's how it was used.
Even so, the three of them still frowned, clearly not entirely convinced.
"How did it burn Master Nan?" the strategist asked bluntly.
"That day in the forest, I was only trying to escape, so I had no choice but to do it. I had no idea that it was the handsome, dashing, and charming Master Nan, the kind of man everyone adores. If I had known it was Master Nan, I wouldn't have dared to do it even if you gave me a hundred lives!" Lan Yamei pretended to be confused.
"Tch!" Master Nan clearly didn't believe it and scoffed.
Lan Yamei quickly continued to explain.
"Master Nan, there's been a misunderstanding between us, really! I accidentally hurt your face. I thought you were a bad guy trying to assault me, and I panicked and used the Boundless Flowing Fire to hurt you. Of course, I take responsibility for my actions, and I, Lan Ya Mei, am a responsible person. How about I take responsibility for healing your face? You won't even see a small scar, what do you think?" Lan Ya Mei didn't care about anything else and quickly took on the responsibility.
Now, not only her own life, but also the lives of Aunt Guan and Uncle Ouyang are in this person's hands. She can only escape by appeasing him first. Actually, she couldn't think of a way to deal with him, and secretly figured that with Aunt Guan around, it would be over in no time.
"You little brat, you dare to boast about anything! Do you know that even the renowned Doctor Mei wouldn't dare guarantee he could cure my face? And you, a young girl like you, dare to spout such nonsense. This is Master Nan! What if he can't cure me?" The strategist was a good-for-nothing, lacking in cunning, but he was adept at flattery and managed to get along very well with Master Nan.
He naturally understood that these doubts shouldn't come out of Master Nan's mouth, so he immediately rebuked the little girl on Master Nan's behalf.
The reason for bringing Doctor Mei along was twofold: firstly, it would be convenient to have a doctor accompanying the group; secondly, it was because he needed a doctor with absolute expertise to treat his face with peace of mind.
But ever since the miracle doctor was captured, he has been resisting, refusing to eat or drink, and stubbornly refusing to cooperate.
Grandpa Ouyang was worried about Amei, so he mentioned that he had a bottle of his family's heirloom "miracle oil" that could quickly heal scabs. That's why he was forced to go home to find it, but before he could even get it, he was caught red-handed.
In fact, it wasn't just the strategist who was suspicious; even the white-haired rat sitting to the side was somewhat worried. "Master Nan, this girl looks to be in her early twenties at most. She probably doesn't even know your prestige in the martial arts world, yet she dares to make such boastful claims here! I think it would be safer to let Doctor Mei treat her."
Nanfang Nan smiled and said, "Little girl, you've got guts! Do you know what will happen if you can't cure it? You smell like fish, and you know pharmacology?"
Having just come out of the kitchen to kill fish, Lan Yamei was indeed covered in the smell of fish. She sniffed her sleeves and smiled wryly, saying, "I just made a pot of sauerkraut fish and didn't have time to change my clothes."
The strategist fanned himself and said disdainfully, "So he's just a cook. What's with the airs!"
Lan Ya Mei didn't try to argue, but simply clasped her hands in a fist and said to Master Nan, "Master Nan, please believe me! I can prove that I do indeed have the skills."
Lan Yamei decided to prove her skills first, otherwise, in this remote and remote place, she might be dumped by these thugs before she was even discovered.
So he quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Master Nan, please think about it. Besides seeing this Boundless Flowing Fire here, have you ever seen it anywhere else? Just based on this Boundless Flowing Fire, you should have some confidence in me. There are wonders everywhere under the heavens! But before you met me, had you never seen the Boundless Flowing Fire?"
Nanfang Nan clearly took these words to heart. "Little girl, since you're so confident, let's make a bet. If you can heal my face, I'll release the three of you safely. If you can't heal my face, I'll chop you three into mincemeat and feed you to the dogs!"
Lan Ya Mei listened with her heart pounding, and the nerve in her left eye kept twitching involuntarily.
This is the first time in my life I've ever seen a man with such a handsome face but a vicious heart.
With no good way out at the moment, saving the three of them was the priority, so they quickly made a promise: "Master Nan, I swear on our lives! If I can't cure your face, you can do whatever you want with us, and we won't say another word."
"Fine! I'll give you three days. After three days, don't blame me for being ruthless." Nanfang Nan decided to give it a try. In the past few days, the blisters on her face had been getting bigger and bigger, and yellow fluid would ooze out from time to time. It smelled bad and fishy, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Three days it is! But please release Aunt Guan. I need her to assist me. With our combined efforts, your face will be healed within three days. You must follow my instructions for these three days. I wonder if you can do that?"
Nanfang Nan nodded and said to the white-haired rat, "Bring them both up!"
The white-haired rat went out and said a few words to the guard, who then went to fetch people.
"There's one more thing you need to explain clearly: what is this thing in my hand, and what are you planning to do with it?" Master Nan held up the pistol to his nose and smelled it.
Lan Yamei's heart tightened. Oh my god, even at this point, he still remembers the pistol. It seems that if this matter isn't explained clearly, there's no way she can escape unscathed today.
He could only bite the bullet and boast, "Master Nan, you don't know this, but this thing is the nemesis of the Boundless Flowing Fire. Its name is Baotu Spring. Let me demonstrate it to you."
"Baotu Spring? What is that?" Master Nan asked directly, clearly intrigued.
The other two people in the hall were also very interested.
