Volume 1_Chapter 35: Headache, what to do if I want to give up?

At this time, the bidding below had gradually risen to one hundred thousand taels, and the speed of bidding was getting slower and slower, which meant that the buyer would soon be decided.

Once Xuan Ming was bought away, it would be difficult for her to complete the task.

Especially since it was unknown if Xuan Ming's body could hold on for that long.

Moreover, selfishly, she didn't want Xuan Ming to be bought by someone else.

A person who struggles to live should be treated well.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Qiyue persisted, "Although you think your life is worthless, isn't your life very valuable to your subordinates and your relatives? If you close your eyes and kick your legs and die, won't the people who care about you be sad?"

Yun Qiyue's words made Qing Jie roll his eyes in anger, "Who are you saying will close their eyes and kick their legs and die? You're the one who died."

When Qing Yan heard this, she couldn't help it either and retorted directly to Qing Jie, "I'm saying, can't you understand people? My young mistress is just using a metaphor; is it necessary to be so serious?"

Qing Jie: "Then why didn't she use herself as a metaphor?"

Yun Qiyue: "..." Headache, what to do if I want to give up?

Yet she didn't know that at this time, Ouyang Xi had been moved by some sentence of Yun Qiyue's.

Ouyang Xi: "Even so, the condition for me to bring you in was that you have medicine; do you want to go back on your word?"

Yun Qiyue: "..." Such a handsome young master, yet he was actually someone who nitpicked.

Yun Qiyue pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Naturally not; I am a person who values integrity the most, how could I go back on my word?"

Seeing that Ouyang Xi didn't believe her words at all, Yun Qiyue hurriedly said, "I do have medicine, but taking it can only alleviate the poison in your body and keep you from being so painful; however, you have been poisoned for many years, and the poison has entered your lungs and organs. If there is only medicine, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clear the toxins in your body."

She was telling the absolute truth with this sentence.

The poison in Ouyang Xi's body could no longer be solved by just an antidote.

Having been poisoned for many years, various functions in his body had long been damaged, and she would need to use a needle array to defy the heavens and change his fate.

Of course, she would never admit that what she said at the beginning about having medicine didn't really refer to the medicine itself, but meant that she was capable of treatment.

This was the profoundness of the Chinese language; every sentence could have different meanings, depending on how the speaker explained it.

However, Ouyang Xi seemed not to care about his own life and death, and did not pick up on Yun Qiyue's words, but glanced faintly at Xuan Ming below.

Ouyang Xi was not in a hurry, but Qing Jie on the side couldn't help it, "Can you really clear the poison in my master's body?"

To be honest, he expressed deep doubt about Yun Qiyue's ability.

After all, a fool who had just stopped being a fool and now knew medical skills sounded quite ridiculous.

But... compared to watching his master suffer from the poison and die, he would rather believe her nonsense.

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue looked deeply at Qing Jie. Just when Qing Jie thought Yun Qiyue was going to open her mouth to prove herself, Yun Qiyue moved her gaze away and said faintly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you, but I can guarantee that right now, besides me, no one can save your master."

After saying this, Yun Qiyue's gaze fell on Xuan Ming below, and she sighed softly; she was truly doing her best.

"As far as I know, the time your master has been suffering from attacks has been getting longer and longer, right? I can conclude that if he is not treated, your master only has three months to live."

If the other party really didn't cherish his life, she would truly be helpless.

She couldn't force a cow to drink water if it didn't want to eat grass, right?

Seeing that Yun Qiyue described everything correctly, and hearing that his master only had three months to live, Qing Jie became anxious.

"Master—" Qing Jie wanted to persuade him.

Because the fact that the master's pain attacks were getting longer and longer was only known to the master and a few of his confidants; no one else knew.

Therefore, just based on Yun Qiyue pointing out this characteristic, he believed it seven or eight parts.

Especially since the master's poison had been diagnosed by major famous doctors, but none of them were of any use. Now that there was an opportunity, let alone buying one person, even buying a hundred people would be very worthwhile.

However, Qing Jie's words were stopped by a faint look from his master.

Qing Jie knew his master's temperament too well; if he persuaded him further, he was afraid it would be counterproductive.

So even if Qing Jie was anxious, he really didn't dare to speak casually at this time.

At this time, Xuan Ming's price had soared to one hundred and twenty thousand, and no one else was bidding, so Mei Niang began the countdown.

Yun Qiyue clenched her hands into fists, but finally let go.

Forget it, although it was a bit troublesome, she really had no money right now, so she could only think of another way.

Just when Yun Qiyue was about to give up, Ouyang Xi suddenly spoke: "Qing Jie."

Hearing this, Qing Jie was immediately overjoyed, and then immediately stepped forward. Just as Mei Niang was about to use the golden hammer in her hand to make the final decision, he shouted: "One hundred and fifty thousand taels."

Mei Niang's hand shook, but she finally steadied the hammer and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the hammer had really fallen, it would have been a final decision.

Mei Niang steadied her expression and asked with a seductive smile towards the bottom, "One hundred and fifty thousand taels, is there anyone continuing to bid?"

Everyone, including Yun Qiyue, subconsciously looked at the fifth floor, fearing that a voice would suddenly emerge from the fifth floor again.

After all, others wouldn't, and didn't dare to bid again, but that great expert on the fifth floor might not be the same.

Mei Niang also subconsciously glanced at the fifth floor.

But fortunately, there was no movement on the fifth floor this time.

Finally, Ouyang Xi bid for Xuan Ming, and Yun Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he decided to help Yun Qiyue buy the person, Ouyang Xi naturally wouldn't go back on his word at this time, so he directly ordered Qing Jie to get one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver notes for Yun Qiyue.

Looking at the large-denomination silver note in her hand, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but sigh.

This was truly, one cent... no, one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver almost stumped this little woman.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Qing Jie went to open the door, only to see a man dressed as a waiter standing respectfully at the door, asking inside, "May I ask the guest, the goods you just auctioned, do you want to inspect them now, or after it ends later?"

Goods?

Yun Qiyue frowned slightly, feeling very unaccustomed to someone describing a person as goods.

"Go now." Yun Qiyue answered directly without thinking.

After all, based on Xuan Ming's current physical condition, if she went later, it should be even more troublesome.

Saying this, Yun Qiyue stood up.

The waiter thoughtfully retreated outside the door and waited quietly.

Before leaving, Yun Qiyue looked at Ouyang Xi, "Give me seven days to prepare; come find me in seven days."

After Yun Qiyue finished speaking, she turned and took Xixue and hurried out.

As for where Ouyang Xi would find her, this was not something she needed to worry about now; after all, she believed that with Ouyang Xi's identity, finding her would be easy, especially since he already knew her identity.

And as for what mood Ouyang Xi was in after hearing her words that sounded like 'crossing the river and tearing down the bridge', she couldn't care less.

Because the system had already started to prompt that the boy's condition was not very good... ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
