Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Back at the Xiangfu, Yuelan also brought back the document from the government office and gave it to Yunyuxi, who then gave it to Banxia for safekeeping. Everyone slept well that night.

After doing the usual aerobic exercise and eating breakfast, Yun Yuxi took Yuelan and dressed up as father and daughter to go to the dental clinic.

"Little kid, I think you and I have a connection, would you like to become my disciple? I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks." A sloppy old man, gnawing on a chicken leg in one hand, with a mouthful of black teeth, took a bite of chicken and a sip of wine, and stopped Yun Yuxi while eating and said with a chuckle.

Yun Yuxi raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you talking about my daughter Lan Yue? My daughter doesn't need a master. Please move aside. We have important things to do, so please don't waste time."

"Little kid, I'm asking you if you want to be my disciple. I think you have excellent physique, are smart and clever, and are a good candidate. I only have one disciple in my life, no, with you included, that makes me two." The old man chattered on and on.

Yun Yuxi yelled in annoyance, "Old man, what are you capable of? You asked me to be your disciple just because you have a mouth full of black teeth. Or because you are sloppy and look like an old beggar. Get out of the way quickly, or I will make you pay."

"Little kid, don't be so bad-tempered. Your master is the most powerful martial artist on this continent. You won't suffer any loss by taking me as your master. Don't think that your master doesn't know that you are disguised as a man. This is a gift from your master to you." As he said that, he stuffed the gift into Yun Yuxi's hand.

By the time Yun Yuxi reacted, the old man had disappeared, "Daughter, did you see clearly where that damn old man went?" She replied to her father, "Daughter didn't see clearly either. The old man is very skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid I will be defeated by him in just one move."

Yun Yuxi looked at the book in her hand with disdain. It was covered in grease and only a few words could be vaguely made out on the tattered cover: "Qingyun Sword Technique".

Yun Yuxi didn't know martial arts in her previous life. When she saw this book, she realized that she might have found a treasure. So she put it in her arms without any disgust. At this moment, the old man in the dark smiled knowingly and murmured to himself, "Wanqing, Yu'er has grown up. I am late. Are you still blaming me? I regret it. I should have come back earlier. Senior brother will definitely avenge you." The old man's eyes were full of regret, and then he disappeared into the crowd.

At the dental clinic, Yun Yuxi and Yue Lan called the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw that there was a big customer, his face was full of smiles. His fat body was shaking when he laughed. He said happily, "Please have some tea. I will take you to choose later. The price is negotiable."

"Shopkeeper, that's not necessary. Just go and pick the person. And please lead the way, shopkeeper," Yun Yuxi said politely.

"I'll make a killing today. There are too many people like you who are stupid and have a lot of money. Tonight, I can go and see the girl in Chunfeng Pavilion again." The shopkeeper's eyes were rolling, and he had already figured out how to make a killing. However, he didn't know that Yun Yuxi was a stingy person who didn't want to spend a penny. Afterwards, the shopkeeper said that he was fooled.

"Sir, we are here. Please choose first. We can negotiate the price." The shopkeeper said flatteringly. Yun Yuxi felt sick when she saw the fake smile.

"Everyone raise your heads, tell me what you know and what skills you have. If you are suitable, I will keep you and ensure that you have enough food and clothing in the future," Yun Yuxi said loudly.

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to step forward. At this moment, Yun Yuxi found a young man who had been lowering his head. His clothes were tattered, but his back was straight even with his head lowered. Yue Lan whispered, "Dad, we need that young man. He is injured, but I can feel that he is a martial artist. He can be placed in the house in the east of the city to protect the children."

"Raise your head," Yun Yuxi pointed at the boy, who still kept his head down, saying nothing and not moving. "Don't you want to be free? Do you want to be chosen by anyone for the rest of your life, locked up in this dark cage? I don't care who you are. Whatever your past, there is hope only if you are alive." The boy kept his head down and said nothing.

Everyone felt that they had met a good master. So a man in his forties stood up and said, "I am Chen Changgen, and this is my wife. Our hometown was hit by a flood, and we are stranded here. I can teach. She can wash clothes and cook. Please buy us, and we will be loyal to you." Yun Yuxi nodded. A couple stood aside.

"I know medicinal herbs. My family used to run a medicine shop. I followed my father to learn medicine since I was young. Unfortunately, my father was framed by a villain and died. My brother and I were sold here. My brother also knows medicinal herbs and is more talented than me. If the master needs us, we are willing to follow the master loyally. Please take us in," said a pretty girl, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and weak, with a pair of bright eyes. Yun Yuxi nodded, secretly happy in her heart, "Oh, I'm really sleepy, someone handed me a pillow, and it happened that the shop on East Street was preparing to open a pharmacy, but there was no suitable person yet. It seems that this brother and sister were sent to me by God."

Everyone reported themselves, and Yun Yuxi added fifteen more people. At this time, the young man who was bowing his head seemed to have figured something out. He slowly raised his head.
