In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 51 Awakening and Killing Intent

The old man in black robes pointed at Jiang Qingyue, and not only Mu Lan, but even Jiang Qingyue herself was greatly shocked.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue did not react and stood there in a seemingly shocked posture, the old man knew they had misunderstood. "I am not referring to you, but to the drug on your body that can control slaves."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyue suspiciously pulled out the pills that the owner of the Treasure Pavilion had given her. "You mean these?"

The old man in the black robe nodded.

"So, your purpose in participating in the auction isn't for this slave, but for the pills to control him? What are you planning to do?"

Jiang Qingyue became even more wary. This thing was no good. What exactly did this old man want to do?

Jiang Qingyue had no idea.

Although she didn't intend to continue using this drug to control Wuming, she still wanted to study the poison's formula carefully and prepare an antidote in advance, just in case.

"Don't worry, little girl, I only need three pills. To be honest, the existence of this thing has already seriously harmed the martial arts world. If this drug is used on a large scale, the martial arts world will inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, I asked for these pills in order to counteract it. Seeing how nimbly you handled it just now, I suppose you are a kind-hearted person. I can pay for three pills."

The old man in black robes did not hide anything but spoke the truth. His sincerity impressed Jiang Qingyue.

She stared intently at the old man in black robes for a moment, then asked, "May I ask your honorable name, senior?"

If that's truly the purpose, then this old man must not be an unknown person.

"I am Zhao Qingshuang, the leader of the Qingshuang Alliance."

Azure Frost Alliance!

Whether in her past life or this one, Jiang Qingyue had heard of the Qing Shuang Alliance when she was mingling in the streets. It was a group of several major sects in the martial arts world, and its leader, Zhao Qing Shuang, was a chivalrous person of the time. However, in her past life, there was no such trouble, or perhaps there was, but she just didn't come into contact with it.

In her past life, did Jiang Chuchu also encounter him and offer him medicine, thus gaining his assistance? Otherwise, Qin Jinghao's power wouldn't have grown so rapidly. At the time, I vaguely heard that Qin Jinghao also had a powerful martial arts force behind him, and now it seems that's true.

However, my purpose is not to gain any assistance. If what Zhao Qingshuang said is true, then the martial arts world will inevitably be in great turmoil soon. If it can be resolved in advance, it may not be a bad thing.

Moreover, Qin Xuanyu had been in the martial arts world for many years and might know some things.

Although the martial arts world, the imperial court, and the common people each have their own world of life, if the martial arts world falls, the imperial court and the common people will also suffer calamity.

With that in mind, Jiang Qingyue no longer hesitated.

She poured out one, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and then handed the rest to Zhao Qingshuang.

"Young lady, what's wrong with you...?" Now it was Zhao Qing Shuang's turn to be shocked.

"If it's really as you say, three pieces might not be enough. I'll give you all of these, and I'll keep one for myself. After all, I can always buy more from the Treasure Pavilion if I need them, but it wouldn't be convenient for you."

Jiang Qingyue's generosity impressed Zhao Qingshuang.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. May I ask your name, young lady?" Zhao Qingshuang was surprised that such a young girl had such a magnanimous heart; it was truly admirable. Zhao Qingshuang cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Jiang Qingyue.

"A nobody, not worth mentioning. I hope you can successfully solve this and benefit the martial arts world." Jiang Qingyue returned the greeting and then left with Wuming.

Watching Jiang Qingyue's departing figure, Zhao Qingshuang glanced at her a few more times, memorizing her silhouette, before turning and leaving.

As soon as she left, Zhao Qingshuang rushed to a small house in the bamboo forest.

If Jiang Qingyue were here, she would recognize at a glance that this is the place Qin Xuanyu brought her to.

"Bai Chi, come out quickly, Bai Chi!" Zhao Qing Shuang's loud voice echoed throughout the bamboo forest, startling a flock of birds.

"You old geezer, I've already told you, don't call me Bai Chi! It sounds like you're an idiot. Call me Bai Mo Chi!" A familiar, disheveled man appeared, staring angrily at Zhao Qing Shuang.

"Alright, alright, Bai Mochi, Mochi, quick, I've got the medicine. The antidote preparation is all yours!" After saying that, Zhao Qingshuang quickly handed the medicine to Bai Chi.

Bai Chi took it, brought it to his nose and smelled it, frowned, and then with a "bang," buried himself in his work.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Qingyue brought Wuming to the house that Erqing had bought in advance.

She led the nameless man into the house, saying, "From now on, you can stay here for now."

Just as Jiang Qingyue turned around, a whooshing sound came from the air, and Jiang Qingyue instinctively dodged.

Just as she dodged, a gust of wind came from the other side. Before Jiang Qingyue could react, a pale hand gripped her neck.

"Miss!" Mu Lan rushed forward upon hearing the commotion, only to witness this scene. She immediately drew her sword and pointed it at Wuming.

Erqing was also startled, and after he came to his senses, he could only worry helplessly.

Jiang Qingyue didn't expect Wuming to wake up so quickly. "If you kill me, you'll never get the antidote."

Jiang Qingyue looked at Wuming with a calm expression.

Wuming never expected that the seemingly frail woman in front of him not only possessed some skill but also considerable courage.

"You...want to...feed me poison." Wuming seemed to have been silent for a long time. When he finally spoke, his voice was broken and hoarse, as if there was phlegm stuck in his throat, making it sound very unpleasant. "Take it out!"

Wuming had memories of the past. He was betrayed by his own people, suffered all kinds of abuse, and was fed drugs that allowed him to be controlled. He was in a daze, and as soon as he regained consciousness, the cycle would repeat itself. He lived a dark and hopeless life every day.

Jiang Qingyue's shout had startled him awake, giving him some awareness. As a result, he also heard her conversation with Zhao Qingshuang.

That's why he didn't immediately snap Jiang Qingyue's neck. After all, she had helped him escape his suffering. But if she wanted to take advantage of him, he would have no choice but to be ruthless.

"If I really wanted to control you, I wouldn't have given all the medicine to others."

"You also... kept one... as a backup."

"It seems you were already awake at that time."

"Give it to me, or I'll kill you." Wuming stared at her with murderous intent, as if he would snap Jiang Qingyue's neck the moment she refused.

However, the only response to Wuming was Jiang Qingyue's laughter, "Then have you forgotten that if I run out of medicine, I can go to the Treasure Pavilion to get more?"

Jiang Qingyue's words were undoubtedly a reminder to Wuming, and they also intensified Wuming's murderous intent towards her.

"Miss!" Mu Lan was shocked that her young lady would tell her everything.

"Then go die!" As he spoke, Wuming tightened his grip, and Jiang Qingyue immediately felt a great difficulty breathing.

“Then you will never… possibly get the antidote in your entire life…” Jiang Qingyue pried his hand open with difficulty and spoke.
