Chapter 96 Encountering Two More People

"I think you'd better leave as soon as possible!" Ouyang Mingyue was so angry at Ye Zhaoxi that she almost laughed. How could she trespass on someone else's territory, shout for war, and then still have the audacity to take a look around?

"Let's go!" Yi Weichun, ever the perceptive one, pulled the other two out, and Jiang Xuechi quickly followed, keeping an eye on them.

"Wang Qing, shouldn't you change the array at the entrance? How did these three get in so easily?" Ouyang Mingyue was really curious. She had only been able to get in easily thanks to her friends in the cultivation world. How could these three be so lucky as to break in so easily?

"Xuechi has been handling this all along. I'll talk to him about it when he gets back."

Jiang Xuechi is in charge, so there's no need to worry. He must have thought of this too.

After staying there for a few more days, Ouyang Mingyue finally had to say goodbye.

Hearing that she was leaving, Jiang Xuechi's expression finally improved. He wished he could pack her luggage immediately and then kick her out of the house.

After spending the last few days together, Ouyang Mingyue realized that the two were not biological siblings at all.

Jiang Wangqing was originally a young lady from a wealthy family in Jiangnan. For some reason, her family was murdered by enemies, and only she and Jiang Xuechi escaped.

As for Jiang Xuechi, he is the son of their family's housekeeper. The two are childhood sweethearts and grew up together.

While fleeing for their lives, the two accidentally stumbled into this valley and were rescued by the Yin-Yang Elder, who taught Jiang Xuechi martial arts and Jiang Wangqing medical skills. After that, the two lived here ever since.

As for their enemies, neither of them knew who they were, so Jiang Xuechi didn't stay in the valley often. He would frequently go into the martial arts world to inquire about news and pick up some girls to keep his sister company.

"Don't worry, I'll keep inquiring about things along the way. If I find anything, I'll definitely send you a message by carrier pigeon," Ouyang Mingyue said solemnly.

"Mingyue, there's no need to go to such lengths. This is a matter between my brother and me, it's too much trouble for you." Jiang Wangqing told her not to feel burdened and to enjoy the world of martial arts.

“Aren’t we friends? No trouble at all. I’ve been around for a while, so I’ll definitely have more information than you do.”

After remaining silent, Jiang Xuechi thanked Ouyang Mingyue.

Ouyang Mingyue returned to the inn, retrieved her horse, paid the fare, and left Fengyang City, continuing her journey towards another city.

That day, she rode her horse halfway and finally came across a teahouse.

"Young lady, come and have a bowl of tea!" A kind-looking old woman came out and greeted her.

Ouyang Mingyue glanced at her, and seeing this, dismounted.

"Grandpa, are you all alone here?"

"Oh no, this old man is boiling water in the back!"

"Then could you please feed my horse for me, sir? And bring me a pot of tea! We'll settle the bill together!" Ouyang Mingyue handed the rope to the man and went into the tea stall.

"Alright, alright, young lady, come inside quickly! We'll definitely take good care of this horse for you!" The old woman's eyes lit up as she stroked the horse's mane. "Old man, come and lead this horse to the backyard!"

"Hey, here they come!" An old man came out, took the horse's reins, and led it away.

"Young lady, the tea is here! Please enjoy it. If you need anything, just call me, your old woman!" The old woman served Ouyang Mingyue a pot of tea and then went back to the kitchen.

Ouyang Mingyue sat in the tea stall, slowly sipping her tea.

A few breaths later, with a "bang," she collapsed onto the table.

"Hehe, it's finally fallen! Old woman, quick! Move her to the cellar!" The old man shouted, sticking out his body after hearing the noise.

"Here it comes, here it comes! Be careful of that horse, it's a top-quality horse, it can fetch a lot of money! These江湖人 (jianghu people) are really rich!" the old woman exclaimed, as she hoisted Ouyang Mingyue onto her shoulder and carried her down to the cellar in the backyard.

Ouyang Mingyue quietly opened her eyes and looked around. She thought it was just an ordinary cellar, but she didn't expect there to be a tunnel. She closed her eyes again and waited for the old woman to lead her to her destination.

After a jolt, she felt herself being thrown to the ground, and the old woman took her knife.

After the surroundings finally quieted down, she opened her eyes. Good heavens, a dungeon?

She stood up, stretched her limbs, and walked around her cell. There were two other cells around, and it seemed like there were other people in them.

"Miss Ouyang?"

Huh? Who? Does anyone here know her?

"Miss Ouyang, it's us!"

"Who?"

“It is easy to see the spring breeze and the leaves shining!” After the reply, a few scattered sounds came over.

Ouyang Mingyue waited for a long time, but still couldn't see where the person was.

"What are you two up to? Are you planning something underhanded with me?"

"No, we don't!" Yi Weichun replied weakly.

Seeing this, Ouyang Mingyue picked up the lock on her own cell, pulled it open with a tug, and ran to the doors of the two cells opposite to see what was going on.

"No, what happened to you two? Did someone beat you up and paralyze you?"

"How could you say that about me and Brother Chun?" Ye Zhaoxi struggled to raise her head, trying to refute Ouyang Mingyue.

"It's not my fault. Look at the two of you lying on the ground, not moving at all. Don't you look like you're paralyzed?" Ouyang Mingyue was a little embarrassed, as it did seem inappropriate to say that they were paralyzed.

"We were drugged by the thieves, and we haven't even asked Miss Ouyang why she's alright and still has internal energy?" Yi Weichun finally revealed the truth, while also raising his question.

"I, of course I took the antidote beforehand!" That's right, Ouyang Mingyue became wary as soon as she saw the old woman.

Lin Liuyi had repeatedly warned them to be careful of the elderly, young women, and children, especially since the old woman had calluses on her hands.

"You, how could you possibly have the antidote beforehand? You're in cahoots with them, aren't you!" Ye Zhaoxi exclaimed in disbelief.

“Miss Ye, that’s not how you talk. You two are stupid; you didn’t recognize the thief. That’s your fault, and you can’t get involved with me!”

Ouyang Mingyue realized that Ye Zhaoxi was unwilling to accept that the two of them had failed to see through the thief's scheme, but that she had seen through it herself, and that's why she started to lose her guard.

"Xi'er, don't talk nonsense! It was our carelessness, it has nothing to do with Miss Ouyang. However, Miss Ouyang, could you please give us both a portion of the antidote? We would be extremely grateful!" Yi Weichun didn't care about the quarrel between the two of them. The most important thing now was to get rid of this damned drug as soon as possible.

"Hey, what kind of drug did you two take? How could this happen?" Ouyang Mingyue thought that sleeping potion wouldn't cause this much damage, or was it poisoning?

"We've been poisoned with a muscle-weakening powder. Our internal energy is suppressed, and we're powerless in our limbs, so we can only lie down."

Muscle-relaxing powder? No wonder!

"Someone's coming! We'll talk about it later!"
