You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Ran and his two companions continued their journey through the dense forest.

They soon arrived at the other side of Alcatraz.

At the same time, they saw a cave not far ahead.

"Boss, there's a cave ahead. Shall we go in and take a look?" Tang Da turned to look at Qin Ran.

"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

Qin Ran led the way, with Tang Da and Ji Ruyan following closely behind.

It was very dark inside the cave.

However, the cave was very clean.

This clearly shows signs of having been cleaned.

"There must be someone living in this cave," Qin Ran said as he walked.

This cave isn't very deep.

The three of them quickly reached the end of the cave.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a residence.

Stone beds, stone chairs, and all sorts of household tools made from various materials are available.

Qin Ran touched the water in the cup to check its temperature.

There's still residual heat.

This means that the owner here had only recently left.

"Based on observations at the scene, the owner of this place should be from the Dragon Kingdom," Ji Ruyan said.

"I think so too," Qin Ran agreed.

They were all very curious about who lived here.

Could it be some reclusive master?

Even a reclusive master wouldn't come to this place to live in seclusion.

This place is too far from the Dragon Kingdom.

After that, Qin Ran and the other two waited there.

They wanted to see who the owner of this place really was.

But after waiting for a long time, the owner did not return.

Qin Ran and the other two had no choice but to leave.

Meanwhile, a pair of deep eyes in the dense forest kept watching them.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the shore.

"Boss, based on your experience, what kind of people live in that cave?" Tang Da asked.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "You asked me who I am, I can't say for sure, but I can be sure that he is hiding in the shadows and secretly observing us. The reason he didn't go back to the cave is because he knows we are in the cave."

Are you sure?

Qin Ran nodded. "Confirmed! The fierce battle we just had with the Nine Chrysanthemums faction caused such a commotion, the cave's owner couldn't possibly be unaware of it."

"He has lived here for a long time and is familiar with the terrain. I guarantee that he was hiding in the shadows and saw everything during that battle."

"When we were inspecting the island, we noticed some movement behind us. I suspected it was him. He had been monitoring us, and he most likely saw us enter the cave."

"But he dared not show himself. He had witnessed our power and chose to stay away from us."

Tang Da and Ji Ruyan both agreed with Qin Ran's analysis.

They displayed extraordinary abilities in that battle just now.

Anyone who sees it will feel apprehensive.

It's normal that the cave's owner doesn't dare to show himself.

Ji Ruyan continued, "Anyway, I'm certain that the person living in the cave is from the Dragon Kingdom, but I don't know what he does. I suspect he's some kind of reclusive master."

Qin Ran looked at Ji Ruyan: "My thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours. He is definitely not a reclusive master."

Why are you so sure?

Qin Ran said seriously, "First of all, there is no need for the reclusive masters of the Dragon Kingdom to come to Devil Island. It is too far away from the Dragon Kingdom, and it is not suitable for them to live in seclusion."

"This place is filled with evil, slaughter, and bloodshed. Many heinous people have made this a lawless place."

"Living here will not only fail to achieve the effect of seclusion, but will also lead to frequent disturbances."

Ji Ruyan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Qin Ran's words make some sense.

That's definitely true.

Tang Da added, "Since he's not a reclusive master, he must be a vicious villain who couldn't make it in the Dragon Kingdom and is hiding here."

"You're absolutely right, that's very likely."

"Boss, why don't we go and capture him and bring him back to the Dragon Kingdom?"

Qin Ran put his hands behind his back, looking at the dense forest in the distance: "No rush, let's wait and see."

Meanwhile, night began to fall.

Qin Ran and his two companions returned to the cargo ship that was docked at the shore.

After dinner, they began to meditate.

Qin Ran's thoughts kept wandering.

He was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't find another senior female student.

He still needs to keep working hard.

Time quickly passed and it was late at night.

The entire island fell into a deathly silence.

A figure quickly emerged from the dense forest.

He was disheveled, but had a very robust build.

He carefully approached the cargo ship, carrying a gasoline can.

Then he leaped onto the cargo ship.

He poured gasoline on the cargo ship.

The pungent smell of gasoline instantly filled the surroundings.

Just as he was about to use an open flame to ignite the gasoline.

An invisible force struck him from behind.

Caught off guard, he was knocked flying and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Qin Ran appeared in front of him.

His eyes were fixed on the disheveled middle-aged man in front of him.

"You must be the owner of this cave. You want to burn my ship?"

The other person avoided eye contact, not daring to look at Qin Ran at all.

"Tell me, who exactly are you?"

At the same time, Ji Ruyan and Tang Da came out after hearing the commotion.

The middle-aged man was so frightened when he saw them coming that he dared not move.

He had seen the scene of Qin Ran and the other two fighting against the Nine Chrysanthemums faction.

Such a peerless master is not someone he can provoke.

"Boss, who is he?"

"He's the one who lives in the cave. He tried to burn our boat just now," Qin Ran said sinisterly.

Tang Da flew into a rage: "Damn it, I'll kill you right now!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Masters, please spare my life! I only did this to protect myself. I was afraid that if you didn't leave, you would find me sooner or later. I didn't want to die at your hands, so I struck first."

Qin Ran coldly stared at the middle-aged man: "Tell me first, who are you?"

"I'm a nobody, you wouldn't even know me."

"Then why do you live on Alcatraz?"

"It's to hide from my debts. I owe a lot of money, so I had no choice but to hide here."

Qin Ran's murderous aura grew stronger: "You're insulting my intelligence. If you refuse to talk, then you'll only die."

Tang Da received the order and prepared to take action.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately changed his tune: "Don't kill me. To tell you the truth, I am actually a reclusive master who is tired of the fighting and killing in the martial world, so I came here to hide."

Qin Ran gave a cold laugh.

He knew this guy still wasn't telling the truth.

If the other party is truly a reclusive master, why didn't they say so in the first place?

Moreover, his cowardly and petty behavior makes him seem nothing like a reclusive master.

"I gave you two chances, but you didn't cherish them and refused to tell the truth. That just proves you're not a good person at all." Qin Ran finished speaking and looked at Tang Da: "Kill him."

"Yes."

"Oh, my lord, spare my life! Don't kill me! I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you."

The middle-aged man knelt down and kowtowed desperately.

At the same time, under the cover of darkness, he quickly pulled out a clump of powder from his waist.

He sprinkled the powder in front of him.

A pungent smell instantly filled the air.

Upon smelling the odor, Qin Ran and the other two felt dizzy, their vision blurred, and their legs went weak.

The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. You are very powerful, able to kill the Nine Chrysanthemums faction, but you are too stupid. In the end, you still fell into my hands."
