Lin Nan’s scream drowned out all other sounds.
I picked her up and stood up. She raised both her hands but did not dare to touch her own face.
Her well-maintained white and clear face was currently bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her left face had become hideous and terrifying. Blood dripped onto her white chinese-style dress. It was bright red and glaring.
I let go of her hand. Her legs gave way and she knelt on the ground, screaming.
The few guards who had been hit by the Phoenix Blood fell to the ground and convulsed. They rolled and screamed. The others were stunned and did not know what to do.
In a few seconds, the few guards stopped moving, but Lin Nan was still screaming.
I looked down at her and said in a clear voice, “Do you know why those people died when they were touched by the Phoenix Blood, but you didn’t?”
Lin Nan’s voice was already hoarse. “Save me. Please, save me, save me. It hurts!”
She probably wouldn’t listen to me anymore, or perhaps she already knew.
Zhao Mei asked hesitantly, “Why, why? Nanxing?”
I picked Lin Nan up and looked straight into her eyes. I said word by word, “Because I once saved her life, and there is still phoenix blood in her body. So, even if she is stained with Phoenix blood this time, she won’t die! However, Lin Nan, you are selfish. In the end, this is the result of a life worse than death. Tell me, should I save you again?”
“I beg you, save me, save me –” I could not understand how much pain she was in, but the fear and despair in her eyes was not an act.
“Save you? Alright, then what do you think you should do?” I asked coldly.
There was really no need to be polite with such people. All sympathy would eventually turn into a knife that would stab me.
Lin Nan shouted in a trembling voice, “Stand down, all of you stand down! Stand down! Let them go!”
I sneered. Even though it hurt so much, she was still clear-headed enough to know what she should do. It was obvious that she was just pretending to be ignorant.
The archers standing in front of the door immediately retreated.
I clenched my right palm. The wound that I had just treated Yang Yang’s wound had yet to fully heal, so I dripped two drops of blood onto the edge of Lin Nan’s wound.
Lin Nan groaned in pain, but the Phoenix blood immediately stopped the wound and continued to fester.
I stopped and said in a deep voice, “The road is right in front of everyone now. Whether to leave or stay, everyone can decide for themselves. As I said before, if anyone needs help, feel free to look for me at the Tong family’s residence.”
I nodded at Fang Jing, Zhao Mei, and Yang Yang. “We’ll meet again! Bring your own people and leave quickly!”
A few of them were very quick-witted and immediately walked out. Each of them had their own people following them. Those who were at a loss became flustered and didn’t know where to go.
You can’t wake up someone who doesn’t want to wake up.
Fu He hesitantly stood at her original spot. I ignored her. After all, she had walked her own path. No one was willing to be someone else’s life mentor. Parasitic creatures were often pitiful and the most hateful.
I dragged Lin Nan out. The mute girl picked up a long knife from somewhere and followed closely behind me with a determined expression.
After walking out of the courtyard of the peony garden, I couldn’t help but turn around to take a look.
Lin Nan endured the pain and said in a low voice, “Nanxing, I beg you, please spare me. Spare me.”
Seeing Lin Nan’s behavior, I felt very relieved.
“Lin Nan, as long as I leave this place safely, I can heal your face, but not now. You no longer have any credibility with me!” I said frankly.
