Old Master Nalan
"Alright, girl, let's give them a reply about the Nalan Family patriarch's matter tomorrow! Tell them I can cure the Old Master Nalan's poison." Lin Ming said, stroking Ya Fei's face and wiping away her tears.
Feeling Brother Lin Ming's affectionate touch and hearing Brother Lin Ming words, Ya Fei never doubted Brother Lin Ming. So much so that after Lin Ming finished speaking, she nodded and replied, "Yes! With Brother Lin Ming's help, then Old Master Nalan's matter is settled."
"Let's go in." Lin Ming said, noticing Ya Fei's expression.
After leading Ya Fei into his courtyard, he shared dinner with Zi Yan and the others.
The next day, upon learning that the genius of the Mittel Family could cure their patriarch, the Nalan Family head, Nalan Su, the son of the Old Master Nalan and the father of Nalan Yanran, arrived at the Mittel Family early in the morning to wait for Lin Ming.
Both are young people, but in the original novel, when Xiao Yan went to the Nalan Family to treat the Old Master Nalan, he was initially looked down upon and made things difficult. But with Lin Ming, of course, this didn't happen.
In the Imperial Capital, Lin Ming was famous at a young age. Although no news of him came out afterward, people from these Great Family all knew of Lin Ming's existence.
Almost all the Great Family in the Imperial Capital know that Lin Ming will be the next head of the Mittel Family. Therefore, Lin Ming now basically represents the Mittel Family.
The Mittel Family is a business family, and the most powerful asset of a business family is, of course, its interpersonal relationships. Therefore, given the shrewdness of the Mittel Family members, they wouldn't dare to promise something they could definitely accomplish unless they were absolutely certain.
But now, the young master of the Mittel Family says he can solve it, so it can't be empty talk. Even though Lin Ming is also a young man, he is different from other young men who have made a name for themselves.
As Great Family in the Imperial Capital, they naturally had to show each other respect. So when Lin Ming learned of Nalan Su's arrival, he didn't delay and followed Nalan Su to the Nalan Family.
Having witnessed the far more magnificent places like the Black Corner Region, Lin Ming felt no surprise upon arriving at the Nalan Family. After all, the Nalan Family was somewhat inferior to his own family, the Mittel Family.
Led by Nalan Su, Lin Ming entered a room. Then, Nalan Su went to the door of a side room and said, "Father, Lin Ming has arrived."
"Come in!" As soon as Nalan Su finished speaking, an old, powerful yet slightly weak voice came from inside the side room.
"Nephew Lin, please come in!" After receiving a reply from the person inside, Nalan Su extended his hand in invitation.
Nodding, Lin Ming walked towards the side room and then gently pushed open the door.
The room was quite spacious, and in the center stood a large bed. At that moment, an old man with a withered face was sitting on the bed.
"Old Master Nalan!" Lin Ming greeted him politely upon seeing him.
"As expected of a genius from the Mittel Family, his imposing presence alone is far superior to those good-for-nothings in my family." Upon seeing the person who pushed open the door, Old Master Nalan immediately spoke up.
Old Master Nalan's words were not flattery. Although he was currently on the verge of death due to the Lao Du, Old Master Nalan's cultivation level was still that of Dou Wang.
Despite his Dou Wang cultivation and experience, he couldn't see through Lin Ming at first glance. In this respect alone, none of the Nalan people could compare.
"Old Master Nalan, you flatter me. I happened to meet some members of the Nalan Family on my way here, and they were all extremely outstanding. Moreover, Miss Nalan has been accepted as a personal Sect Master Yun, and her future achievements are limitless." Lin Ming replied politely in response to Old Master Nalan's praise.
"Ah, let's not talk about that! Lin Ming, do you have any way to cure this old man?" Upon hearing Nalan Yanran, Old Master Nalan immediately sighed and then directly asked Lin Ming about his treatment method.
Lin Ming spoke of his granddaughter Nalan Yanran's excellence, and how could Old Master Nalan not know it? This was something Old Master Nalan had always been proud of.
However, Nalan Yanran's decision to run away to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement angered Old Master Nalan greatly.
Back then, if it weren't for Xiao Lin's rescue, I would have died long ago, and there would be no Nalan Family or Nalan Yanran now. Of course, it was also because of this that the Xiao Family and the Nalan Family formed a marriage alliance, arranging a betrothal for Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.
But now that Xiao Lin is dead, and Xiao Yan was rumored to be a good-for-nothing, the Nalan Family broke off the engagement. What will the other families think of the Nalan Family now? How will they face Xiao Lin after their own deaths?
Upon learning this news, Old Master Nalan was consumed by rage, which allowed the Lao Du to finally erupt.
Therefore, when he heard Lin Ming mention Nalan Yanran, the Old Master Nalan felt both pride and anger towards her.
"Old Master Nalan, the method I used is the one mentioned by Master Pill King Gu He," Lin Ming replied after Old Master Nalan finished speaking.
"Master Gu He mentioned using Heavenly Flames to expel the poison, but those who possess Heavenly Flames are extremely rare, so this method won't work." Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Nalan Su immediately recounted the treatment method Gu He had suggested. They had been searching for someone with a Heavenly Flames for some time, but without any leads, highlighting the difficulty of the task. However, after speaking, Nalan Su seemed to realize something and asked with surprise, "Nephew Lin, do you possess Heavenly Flames?"
Looking at the Nalan Family father and son who were watching him, Lin Ming stretched out his palm, and a ball of Turbid Yellow Flame instantly rose up on his palm.
Actions speak louder than words, so Lin Ming didn't waste any time and directly summoned the Mysterious Yellow Flame.
Seeing the Turbid Yellow Flame rising in Lin Ming's palm, Old Master Nalan immediately felt the Lao Du within his body and instinctively moved away from the flames towards his back.
Even without experiencing the power of the flames, the reaction of the Lao Du within his body was enough for Old Master Nalan to believe that the flames in Lin Ming's hands were Heavenly Flames.
Although Nalan Su couldn't distinguish whether it was Heavenly Flames or not, the power emanating from it was terrifying enough to frighten Nalan Su. Therefore, at this moment, Nalan Su also believed that it was Heavenly Flames.
"Nephew Lin, then I'll trouble you!" After making up his mind, Nalan Su immediately asked Lin Ming.
"Since I'm here, it's naturally to cure Old Master Nalan. However, there are some things I need to say beforehand. Given the extent to which Old Master Nalan has been infected by the Lao Du, it has already penetrated deep into Old Master Nalan bone marrow. Removing this Lao Du is like scraping bone, and the pain will be extraordinary. So, if Old Master Nalan can't endure it and something goes wrong, I won't be responsible." Lin Ming said seriously immediately after Nalan Su finished speaking.
"Lin Ming, don't worry, come on over!" Before Nalan Su could react, Old Master Nalan immediately made the decision.
