Perhaps in Qiu Qianqian's eyes, simply hiding a martial arts manual was just a matter of questionable character, not something that would make her hate him. So when she heard that Jing Zhe had killed her ancestor, she was deeply upset.
"Yes, it would be hard for people to accept that I killed them just for that. But look here!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe typed the martial arts manual to the very end, where there happened to be an extra page.
Qiu Qianqian looked down to look, and when she finished reading, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"I only saw it later. I never imagined that these two monsters would not only betray their own disciples, but also collude with the Prince of Jin to harm them. They deserve to die!"
"..."
When Jing Zhe first received the martial arts manual that afternoon, he didn't pay much attention to it until he turned to the last page, where he was shocked by what he saw.
It turns out that the record contained some shady deals between the Tongtian Twins and Prince Jin. Prince Jin provided the Tongtian Twins with all sorts of rare flowers and herbs so that they could cultivate in peace, while the Tongtian Twins provided Prince Jin with the recipe for Half-Moon Powder, allowing him to control the Tongtian Palace!
What's even more infuriating is that the antidote for Half-Moon Powder requires certain rare herbs as a catalyst, and these rare herbs are extremely scarce. So in the end, the only antidote for Half-Moon Powder was what the Twin Monsters of Heaven had left behind!
As for the antidotes in the hands of the Prince of Jin, they are only temporary solutions and can only be effective for half a month!
After reading it, Qiu Qianqian's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Only then did she realize that all of the Prince of Jin's previous promises were false. He said that he would provide the antidote to the disciples of Quli when they got married, but there were very few people in Quli who got married, and even if there were, they would die in the mission before the marriage.
At first, I thought it was an accident, but now it seems that it was not like that at all!
Those disciples who were supposed to get married probably all ended up falling victim to the Prince of Jin's cruelty, because he had no antidote at all!
"Qianqian, now you understand why I killed them, right?"
Qiu Qianqian nodded, but her mood was not good.
Jing Zhe continued, "Fortunately, we got the antidote from them. Qianqian, take it quickly!"
"..."
Qiu Qianqian remained unmoved, and after a long while said, "I can't eat it right now."
Why?
"If I take the antidote now, it will inevitably be discovered. How will I explain that then?"
Jing Zhe thought about it and agreed, saying immediately, "Qianqian, after the martial arts tournament is over, come with me and leave! Then we won't have to worry about anyone anymore!"
Qiu Qianqian smiled sadly, then nestled into Jing Zhe's arms, whispering, "I want to leave with you, but I can't bear to part with my fellow disciples and master in Que Li. If I really leave, I'm afraid Prince Jin will harm the other disciples. I know many of them have had enough of serving Prince Jin, but they have no choice because there's no antidote; leaving means death… I'm afraid if I leave, the other disciples will follow suit, and we'll all meet a bad end…"
In truth, Jing Zhe didn't care about the lives or deaths of the other disciples in Tongtian Palace; the only one he cared about was Qiu Qianqian.
But Qiu Qianqian has lived here for so long and still has feelings for her sect. If he forces her to leave, it would indeed be somewhat selfish.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If we could make more antidotes so they could cure all the poison from Half-Moon Powder, wouldn't Qianqian be relieved?"
Qiu Qianqian nodded, but said in a deep voice, "But this manual says that without a rare medicine as a catalyst, how easy is it to make this antidote? Otherwise, they wouldn't have only had a few antidotes before they died!"
"They can't do it, but someone else can!"
So she told him that her master was making a pill to cure all poisons, "If my master really makes it, we'll distribute it to your fellow disciples. Qianqian, come with me! As for what they choose, that's their business!"
Qiu Qianqian nodded and said, "Then I'll stay in Qufu for now. After all, given your relationship with Prince Jin... if he tries to harm you again, I can know in advance and warn you..."
After saying this, Qiu Qianqian didn't ask any more questions about Pei Yunxi and Mu Qingren. Perhaps she wasn't in the mood for that right now. Instead, she asked about Jing Zhe's participation in the martial arts tournament.
Jing Zhe also happened to have something to ask her. After explaining his purpose, he immediately asked, "Qianqian, the reason why Prince Jin held this martial arts tournament is that he is determined to win. But is he putting all his hopes on you? Even if I don't participate, your cultivation level doesn't seem to be the highest. Could it be that he has other trump cards up his sleeve?"
Qiu Qianqian also shook her head in confusion: "I feel like they don't trust me as much as they used to. They didn't explain the specifics to me in detail. The sect leader only told me to win the first match and then go all out for the second match. I don't need to worry about the rest."
"Win the first match, then go all out for the second..."
Jing Zhe muttered a few words, thinking that when the four major sects participated, it would be eight against eight. Qiu Qianqian's first match would definitely be against someone outside the four major sects. After that, there would only be four people left.
According to the rules, there are only two matches left. If she can win the second match, it means that she only needs to defeat one more person to become the leader of the martial arts alliance. However, the Qingyang Sect Leader did not force her to do so, but only told her to give it her all in the second match...
This sounds too strange, and even Jing Zhe has no clue what to do. He doesn't know what the Prince of Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader are planning, but it's clear that they haven't placed all their hopes on Qiu Qianqian...
Could it be that, besides Qiu Qianqian, Prince Jin has other hidden plans?
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore!"
Jing Zhe waved his hand: "Anyway, I don't care who I meet, as long as I win!"
Qiu Qianqian glanced up at him and said, "Win them all? You've got quite the nerve now!"
"Hehe, of course!"
Qiu Qianqian tilted her head to think, then suddenly realized, and analyzed on her fingers: "According to what you said, Qingqiu of Qingyun Sect is your third sister, Pei Yunxi of Kunlun Mirror is your fourth sister, and I am you—"
"My woman!"
Jing Zhe stroked her head affectionately.
"Um."
Qiu Qianqian nodded gently and smiled, "No wonder you're so confident. Do you think we'll all let you have your way?"
After speaking, without waiting for Jing Zhe's reply, she suddenly frowned and said, "There's also Wuxian Pavilion... I always felt that your relationship with Mu Qingren was unusual. It seems that I guessed correctly. Tell me, what is your relationship with her?"
"She's just like Qianqian..."
Jing Zhe chuckled, afraid that Qiu Qianqian would ask more questions, and picked her up and carried her to the bedside: "We're going to participate in the martial arts tournament tomorrow, so let's not talk about anything else for now. Qianqian, my heroine, please help me practice my skills first!"
"..."
