Chapter 52 Trading
Jiang Qingyue seemed completely unafraid of angering Wuming. In the face of this situation, she could still laugh and even continued, "Besides, you won't kill me."
"Miss!" Mu Lan and Er Qing were extremely anxious.
As expected, after Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, the man remained silent for a while before letting go of her hand.
Jiang Qingyue coughed to relieve her discomfort after breathing in the fresh air.
Although he was choking himself, he controlled the force and did not intend to actually kill him.
What makes you so sure?
“If you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have wasted your breath on me; you would have just snapped my neck. Besides, since you were already awake, you could have made your move after Zhao Qingshuang left, but you didn’t. Instead, you followed me all the way here until we were all alone before you did this. So I’m certain that you didn’t really want to kill me,” Jiang Qingyue said confidently.
Yes, Nameless didn't really want to kill her; he just wanted to test her.
He has always been surrounded by scheming people, and everyone wants him dead.
So when he woke up, he had the idea of killing Jiang Qingyue, but when he heard her conversation with Zhao Qingshuang, he realized that Jiang Qingyue did not seem to be one of them.
So he decided to observe for a while longer.
He had been trapped in this hellish place for far too long, and if there was any hope, he would naturally want to escape this sea of suffering.
His actions just now were merely an attempt to make Jiang Qingyue face reality and force her to let him leave. After all, he didn't want to kill innocent people unless absolutely necessary.
“You don’t need to treat me as an enemy. I don’t know your past, nor how you ended up in this situation, but you don’t have a better choice now, do you?”
You are poisoned. You can either prolong your life with the poison and continue to be controlled as a lowly slave, or you can only wait for the poison to take its toll and you will die.
Jiang Qingyue's words hit the nail on the head.
That's right, this is his current situation and choice. "So... what... do you have a solution?"
Gradually, compared to before, Wuming seemed to have adapted, and his speech became much more fluent, but his voice was still hoarse and unpleasant.
"I naturally have a way to help you detoxify, but it will take time. I left a pill behind so that I can study its ingredients and find a solution. Of course, if you don't believe me, you just heard that Alliance Leader Zhao Qingshuang is also looking for a solution. You can go find him too."
Jiang Qingyue knew he still had doubts, so she gave him a choice.
These words actually dispelled some of Wuming's doubts. She didn't know she had woken up, and it was impossible for her to have someone cooperate in acting, so that Zhao Qingshuang must be real.
Since that's the case, this woman probably wouldn't be speaking without reason; perhaps she really does have a solution.
Jiang Qingyue knew he was wavering, and continued, "To be honest, buying you was indeed premeditated, but it wasn't to make you a slave; there were other purposes."
She didn't know Wuming, but from their brief interaction, she had a general idea of what kind of person he was.
In his past life, he was willing to be driven by Jiang Chuchu, probably because Jiang Chuchu had promised to help him detoxify.
Remembering the person Qin Xuanyu mentioned who helped the Lu family invite Master Xue, who was also well-versed in medicine, could it be him?
So, did Jiang Chuchu help him detoxify back in his previous life?
Jiang Qingyue didn't know, and never would, but that didn't affect her plans.
"What's the purpose?" Wuming wasn't on guard at this moment; instead, he was puzzled.
They spent so much money to buy me, but I'm not one of their people, and they don't want me to be their slave. What do they want from me? Is it, as the owner of the Treasure Pavilion said, to make me kill for them?
Seeing Wuming's expression, Jiang Qingyue naturally understood what he was thinking. "I want you to do something for me."
Jiang Qingyue stated her intentions directly.
"You want me to kill for you?" Nameless bluntly stated his guess. "Forget about it. Although I have mastered the art of killing, I am not an assassin and will not kill for anyone."
Jiang Qingyue chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I won't let you kill anyone."
"So, you mean protecting you? That's a good idea."
"No, no, no, that's not it either," Jiang Qingyue denied again.
"To be honest, I have my own things to do, but I have too few people around me who can help me. I need you to do things for me, not to protect me, not to help me kill, and certainly not to do anything against the code of the martial arts world. As long as you agree, I can find a way to cure you of the poison."
"If what you say is true, then agreeing is not impossible. But what abilities do you have? Why should I believe you?"
“Anyway, your situation can’t get any worse, right? Why not take a gamble?” Jiang Qingyue accurately grasped his needs, leaving him with no way to refuse.
After hearing what he said, Wuming remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Qingyue knew he needed more time to consider, so she gestured for Mulan and Erqing to leave first, and she also prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Jiang Qingyue was really ready to turn around and leave without any hesitation, and that she wasn't afraid that someone would make the 400,000 taels go down the drain, he became even more convinced.
Regardless of whether she could help him detoxify, her actions just now undoubtedly saved him. In that respect, she was already his benefactor, yet she didn't take advantage of his kindness and instead put the choice in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Wuming stopped Jiang Qingyue and said, "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can cure me, I will do whatever you want. Even if you can't cure me, it doesn't matter. I will repay this kindness."
Jiang Qingyue chuckled, "Alright, it's settled then. You can stay here and recover properly; no one else will bother you."
After saying that, Jiang Qingyue turned and left.
After walking a distance, Mu Lan still didn't understand, "Miss, he was about to kill you. Why?"
"Mulan, Erqing, you've been with me for a while now, so you naturally know what I want to do."
The two nodded.
"In that case, the few of you are far from enough. The Prime Minister's Mansion is a behemoth that I cannot easily shake. Jiang Chuchu has the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her. How easy is it for me to seek justice? Since my father cannot give me justice, then let me do it myself."
"But to accomplish something, manpower alone isn't enough; intelligence is also essential. Without intelligence, things become incredibly difficult. Just like with Master Xue's matter this time, if it weren't for His Highness Prince Qin's reminder, I might have really stumbled. So..."
Jiang Qingyue didn't continue, but Mu Lan and Er Qing both understood.
"So, Miss wants him to handle the investigation for you?"
"Smart, this way you can protect me with peace of mind, right?"
"Miss is wise!" Mu Lan and Er Qing both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Qingyue's explanation.
"Alright, hurry back so you don't give yourself away."
With that, the three hurried back to the Prime Minister's residence.
