662 The Strange Man Is Here
“Master Long, someone is coming.”
At this moment, the servant guarding the door hurriedly walked in with a worried expression.
He seemed to have seen something terrible, and his legs were still trembling.
Seeing the servant like this, Jiang Ming suddenly thought of the strange man he saw on the road.
He looked at Master Long. “Master Long, perhaps it’s the strange man that Ms. Long and I saw on the street.”
“Strange man?”
Master Long’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at his daughter carefully. “Qingqing, are you okay? Where did you meet such a strange man?”
Long Qingqing shook her head. “Don’t worry, Father. I’ll be fine. Besides, with Lord Ning Caichen here, how could I be injured?”
This sentence inadvertently raised Jiang Ming’s status. Jiang Ming said humbly, “No, no, Ms. Long is also very powerful.”
“Thank you, Lord Ning Caichen, for protecting my daughter.”
Master Long smiled and fell into deep thought again. He then instructed the servant, “Ask that strange man to come over.”
“Yes.”
The servant hurriedly ran out.
After a while, he came back with the strange man.
Jiang Ming and Long Qingqing raised their eyebrows at the same time.
The strange man was still dressed in the same way, but compared to the first time they met, the strange man was not as anxious and had a relaxed expression on his face.
He said politely to Master Long, “Master Long, I’m here today to get the secret medicine from you in exchange for something else.”
Looking at the strange man’s face, Master Long seemed to have understood something. “Are you trying to treat your face with the secret medicine?”
“Yes, as long as you are willing to give it to me, I am willing to do anything. I will even offer you the rare dragon scales that I have found over the years,” the strange man said sincerely.
Hearing his voice, Master Long felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.
“Have I seen you before? I seem to have heard your voice somewhere before.”
The strange man suddenly panicked and stuttered, “Master Long, you must be mistaken. How could you know me? I’m so ugly. Logically speaking, you’d definitely have a deep impression of me if You’ve seen me before. If you can’t remember me now, it means that you don’t know me at all.”
From his stuttering, it was obvious that he was lying!
Jiang Ming glanced at the strange man but did not expose him. He was curious.
Why did this guy hide the fact that he knew Master Long?
Could it be that the two of them were enemies?
Master Long also saw through the strange man’s lies, so he didn’t expose him. He said seriously, “Even if I give you this secret medicine, you won’t be able to use it.”
“How is this possible?”
The strange man did not believe it at all and frowned.
“Master Long, do you think I would lie to you? I have always been a sincere person and have never done such petty things.”
He was afraid that Master Long would not believe him, so he took out a dagger and placed it in Master Long’s hand. “If I don’t keep my promise, you can kill me with this dagger. This dagger looks ordinary, but it can absorb blood. As long as it touches their blood, it will suck someone dry.”
Master Long shook his head and put the dagger back. “That’s not what I meant. This secret medicine needs a specific person to take effect, and if the dosage is too high, the person will die.”
At this point, Master Long sighed. “In the end, this secret medicine is just a decoration.”
“This… How could this be?”
The strange man was deeply shocked. He took a step back and muttered to himself, “This is impossible. I’ve heard from others that this secret medicine is an excellent thing.”
“It’s a good thing, but it needs a specific person and dosage. However, the Long family only has the recipe for the secret medicine pa.s.sed down.”
Master Long told him the truth clearly.
The strange man’s tears immediately flowed down. He held his head in disbelief and said in pain, “If I don’t treat this face of mine, I won’t be able to enter the Buddhist Sect for the rest of my life.”
Master Long stepped forward and patted the man’s shoulder. “My condolences. There are other ways to live. Don’t be too obsessed with Buddhism.”
Zhu Asi sized up the man in front of him and became vigilant.
In the future, he could not accidentally hurt himself like this man. Otherwise, it would cause irreparable consequences.
Jiang Ming looked at the man sympathetically and walked to him. “Can I take a look at your injuries?”
He had some medical skills, so he might be able to treat him.
This strange man looked like a loyal person. He probably did a lot of good things in the past. He might as well do a favor and save him.
Upon hearing this, the strange man’s eyes lit up. He looked up at Jiang Ming. “Can you cure me?”
Jiang Ming was a little uncertain. “I don’t know, but if you let me take a look, I might have the ability to cure you.”
The strange man’s hope was rekindled. He thought of something and said to Master Long, “It’s a little scary. I don’t want to scare the others here. Please take the others and leave, Master Long.”
Long Qingqing couldn’t help but take a second look at this strange man.
He was a good man. She hoped Ning Caichen could save him.
Master Long did not say much. He looked at Long Qingqing and the others. “Let’s go.”
As he left, he instructed Jiang Ming, “Lord Ning Caichen, if there are any updates, please let us know. If you need anything, please let me know.”
Jiang Ming nodded.
The strange man muttered to himself, “Ning Caichen, I think I’ve heard this name somewhere before, but I can’t remember.”
Master Long smiled and said, “You will know later.”
After saying that, he led the others out, leaving only Jiang Ming and the strange man inside the room.
The strange man took a deep breath and told Jiang Ming, “It’s really scary. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and comforted the strange man. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine. Just take off your mask.”
“Thank you, Ning Caichen.”
The strange man was comforted and took off his mask.
There were countless scars under the mask. His face was already rotten and looked terrible.
There were also pustules on it, but the pustules had obviously been punctured and there was dried blood everywhere.
The edges of his eyes were covered in black.
Jiang Ming suddenly understood what he had just said.
If he were a normal person, he would have been scared half to death. His mental endurance was quite good, so he did not scream.
“Can this be cured?”
