"You better not call me Martial Aunt. Ever since your master founded Yanyu Pavilion, she has had nothing to do with the Sword Forest!"
Ding Cuihua said irritably, "I am helping her purely because I owe her a favor, out of personal friendship."
"You need to understand, I took a huge risk by taking you two in. Don't try to get familiar with me again!"
Liu Hanyi lowered her head, "I'm sorry, Senior Ding."
Ding Cuihua rolled her eyes at her, "Do you think Lin Xiao is deceiving you because he has never heard of Yu Zecheng?"
"It's more than that. I have never heard of anyone being able to prescribe medicine just by hearing about a condition without a diagnosis."
Liu Hanyi said, "I want to go to that 'clinic' to take a look and confirm it."
"Are you crazy? That Zhenbei Army Workshop is the most core secret location of the Zhenbei Army!"
"With a sentry every three steps and a guard every five, if you get caught, will your master still be saved?"
"You don't really expect to take Shu Yelan to the Heavenly Palace, do you? The people who can be found in that place are all Heaven-Chosen ones!"
Liu Hanyi was lectured, listened silently, and did not talk back.
"Why are you scolding my disciple? Is bullying a junior something to be proud of? If you have anger, just vent it on me!"
A weak but arrogant voice rang out from behind.
Ding Cuihua turned around, furious, "Shu Yelan! Do you want to die!? Hurry back to the room and lie down!!"
Liu Hanyi flew over in a flash to support her master.
The Master of Yanyu Pavilion waved her hand, signaling it was unnecessary.
A desolate smile, indifferent to life and death, appeared on Shu Yelan's face, "Whether I die or not is a matter of these few days. Does lying down make any difference?"
Ding Cuihua's eyes reddened, she clenched her hands, took a deep breath, and said,
"Don't say such things. Lin Xiao is a miracle worker; if he says there is a chance, there will be a chance!"
"Indeed, he is truly unexpected... If only I had listened to your evaluation of him earlier, I wouldn't have sent the Third to assassinate him."
Shu Yelan sighed, "So much so that, until now, I don't know whether the Third is alive or dead..."
Liu Hanyi felt a trace of sadness upon hearing this.
"Regret it? You should have regretted it a long time ago!! You shouldn't have established any Yanyu Pavilion all those years ago for the Great Zheng Dynasty that no longer existed!!"
Ding Cuihua said angrily, "Master valued you so much, even passing the Heaven-Severing Sword to you. Are you worthy of him!?"
"Restoring the Great Zheng Dynasty? Western Shu has already fallen, the Great Gan is on the verge of collapse, is it really the turn of the Great Zheng Dynasty, an old thing that died hundreds of years ago!?"
"I really don't understand. With a bright future as a 'Great Grandmaster', why did you have to start a killer organization and walk down these crooked paths..."
Ding Cuihua used her internal energy to calm down, shook her head and said, "Thirty-some years, and you still come to disturb this old woman's peace..."
"How could I not know that the hope of restoring the Great Zheng Dynasty is slim? But this is how my lineage has been passed down from generation to generation..."
A trace of guilt appeared on Shu Yelan's face, "I'm sorry, Martial Sister Ding. I... can only rely on you."
"Cut it out! I owe you, and this time, it is all paid off!"
Ding Cuihua snorted coldly and walked back into the room.
Shu Yelan sighed and looked at Liu Hanyi beside her.
"Little Liu, I know... it's useless to persuade you, so just be careful yourself."
Liu Hanyi nodded, "Don't worry, Master."
Late at night.
Zhenbei Army Workshop, clinic.
In the small room, there was only a slovenly man fiddling with various utensils inside.
On a coal fire, a pot was set up, "bubbling" as it boiled some kind of liquid.
Just then, the door opened.
The man turned his head, looked confused, and walked over to close the door.
As soon as he turned around, a woman in black with a masked face suddenly appeared before his eyes!
The woman was about to stop the man from shouting, but she realized that this man had no intention of shouting at all?
"Who are you?" The man asked.
The person who came was naturally Liu Hanyi.
"Never mind who I am, what is your name?"
"Tch, why should I tell you?"
Without a word, Liu Hanyi's hand moved like lightning, holding a cold flying dagger across the man's throat.
"Answer me!"
The man grinned, "There are only two types of people who come here in the middle of the night."
"The first type knows my identity and wants to kill me."
"The second type has a request of me and wants to confirm my identity."
"Since you didn't kill me directly, you must have a request for me..."
The man calmly stretched out a finger and moved the flying dagger away from his face.
"Miss, I advise you to be a little more polite to me."
Liu Hanyi was slightly surprised. She was very sure that the guy in front of her really had no fear at all!
Was he really not afraid of death?
"Are you surnamed Yu?"
"That's right, I am Yu Zecheng."
Lin Xiao had modified his voice to be clearer, with a hint of wild arrogance.
"Do you know medicine?" Liu Hanyi asked again.
Lin Xiao pretended to recall something, "Oh... I get it. You wouldn't happen to be a family member of the person Lin Xiao mentioned this afternoon, would you?"
"What did Lin Xiao say?"
"He said there was a woman with festering wounds who was dying and needed treatment, so he asked me to make some special medicine."
"Then can you make it?" Liu Hanyi asked hurriedly.
"I can make it, but I can't guarantee a complete cure."
Lin Xiao said, walking to the side on his own, and began to peel a pile of garlic.
"What are you doing?" Liu Hanyi asked suspiciously.
"Don't recognize garlic?"
"I'm asking you why you are peeling garlic!"
"Making medicine!"
"How can this garlic be used as medicine?" Liu Hanyi had never heard of such a thing.
Lin Xiao said irritably, "Are you really a family member of that patient? If so, stop talking nonsense and come help!"
Liu Hanyi was a little depressed, "Are you really not afraid of me?"
"Are you sick? I'm a grown man, why would I be afraid of a little girl like you?"
Lin Xiao looked at the other person with a look of looking at a fool.
Liu Hanyi couldn't help but mutter: Just as Lin Xiao said, this person has a strange temperament...
But the more this kind of person is, the more they often have real substance!
Holding a glimmer of hope, Liu Hanyi decided to believe him first.
"Can peeling garlic make the medicine finish faster?"
"That goes without saying."
Liu Hanyi didn't say anything more, walked over silently, and started peeling garlic.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao threw the pile of garlic to the woman directly, while he went to the equipment consisting of pottery and bamboo tubes to continue staring at it.
"Why aren't you peeling anymore?" Liu Hanyi frowned.
"Stop talking nonsense! Peel your garlic!" Lin Xiao scolded.
As the Soul-Hooking Envoy of the Chimera, Liu Hanyi was also a super assassin who made people tremble in fear in the pugilistic world.
When had she ever suffered such grievances!?
She endured a trace of killing intent and asked patiently, "What is that thing of yours?"
"This is a simple distiller for making ethanol."
"What is ethanol?"
"Alcohol."
"Is it wine? No wonder there is a smell of wine..."
Liu Hanyi said dissatisfiedly, "Are you brewing wine? Are you actually making medicine? Hey, I'm asking you a question!"
Liu Hanyi was anxious. She was not a talkative person, but regarding Shu Yelan's life, she was very anxious.
"If you are sincerely asking me, you should at least show your face first, right?" Lin Xiao said lazily.
Liu Hanyi realized that, after all, she was asking for help, and wearing a mask was not good.
She revealed her face, "Can you talk now?"
"I meant your real face, not this fake face!" Lin Xiao said with disgust.
Liu Hanyi was greatly shocked, "You... how did you know I used a Disguise Technique?"
Her Disguise Technique, although not as good as Shu Yelan's, could be considered top-tier in the pugilistic world, yet it couldn't deceive this "Yu Zecheng"!?
