Chapter 232 Those in the know cannot live.
Si Jinchuan stood at the door, holding Jiang Ci by the back of his collar. Jiang Ci was immobilized by a talisman.
Lin Jingquan stood impatiently to the side, glaring fiercely at Jiang Ci.
"I've brought the person you wanted," Si Jinchuan said with a smile, bringing Jiang Ci in front of Xie Wanning.
"Come on, hand over the antidote. Whatever kind of Gu or poison it is, get rid of it right now." Lin Jingquan tore off the immobilization talisman from Jiang Ci's body and said fiercely.
If Jiang Ci hadn't disrupted the plan, he would have been able to return to the Tianyan Sect long ago. Brother Ji is the sect leader alone, and if he's needed to assist, he's not there. This is all Jiang Ci's fault for acting on his own initiative.
Jiang Ci flinched in fright, but shook his head and said, "I won't give it to you."
"What! Say that again!" Lin Jingquan, like a cat with its fur standing on end, swung his fist at Jiang Ci.
However, a hand stopped Lin Jingquan from doing so.
Si Jinchuan shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Lin, we can't make a move here."
Jiang Ci glanced at Si Jinchuan and agreed, "That's right, this is the Qingyun Sect. As long as you make a move, I can tell Master. Your Tianyan Sect just changed sects, so its foundation is probably not stable yet!"
"You dare threaten me!" Lin Jingquan said angrily. He lunged at Jiang Ci and roared, "I was already in a bad mood, and you still provoked me. I'll show you what I'm capable of."
However, Lin Jingquan was suddenly grabbed by Si Jinchuan and could only thrash around in the air a couple of times.
"Senior Brother Si, let me go! I'm going to teach this scoundrel a lesson!"
Si Jinchuan turned to Jiang Ci and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the Qingyun Sect. However, you poisoned your senior sister and now you're not offering an antidote. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Jiang Ci looked at Xie Wanning, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. However, he still didn't change his mind: "Senior Sister, this curse won't harm you. It only allows you to stay by my side. As long as you don't leave me, the curse won't take effect."
Xie Wanning's face turned deathly pale, because she couldn't believe that Jiang Ci, whose eyes were flashing with madness, was the third junior brother in her memory.
Jiang Ci smiled at Xie Wan Ning, a smile that was gentle and harmless.
In his past life, Jiang Ci believed that as long as he made Ye Qianqian happy, she would not abandon him. However, in the end, Ye Qianqian left him alone at Qingyun Sect without even saying goodbye, despite her previous promise: "As long as you kill Senior Sister, Jiang Ci, I will not leave you, I will always be by your side."
Jiang Ci liked the way Ye Qianqian looked at him; her eyes were filled with adoration and admiration, unlike his senior sister, who treated him like a child. He was no longer the Jiang Ci who had been ignored since childhood. His senior sister's gaze only reminded him of the past when he was ignored by everyone at home. He hated that past, and he hated his senior sister's unchanging gaze.
Jiang Ci knew that he had long since grown up. He didn't need any sympathy or even pity. What he needed was someone who cared about him.
In Ye Qianqian's eyes, Jiang Ci had achieved this sense of satisfaction. He was powerful, and Ye Qianqian could only admire him.
However, Jiang Ci soon discovered that Ye Qianqian was very popular. Her gaze no longer lingered on Jiang Ci, but instead fell more on her second senior brother.
Jiang Ci felt abandoned. Why was Ye Qianqian no longer looking at him? Was he going to be ignored again?
Until one day, when Ye Qianqian was pushed down by Xie Wanning, Jiang Ci stepped in front of her to protect her. At that moment, Ye Qianqian's gaze fell on him again, filled with longing and gratitude, as if she were admiring a hero.
Jiang Ci immediately understood that Ye Qianqian disliked his senior sister. As long as he stood up for Ye Qianqian, she would look at him again.
Jiang Ci was overjoyed and didn't sleep all night. The next day, he went to the library and found the books on concocting poisons.
When Jiang Ci handed the poisoned pill to his senior sister, he hesitated. His senior sister had treated him extremely well; she had helped him integrate into the Qingyun Sect, and she had protected him during every exploration of the secret realm, ensuring his safety.
However, the thought of Ye Qianqian's smiling face made Jiang Ci make up his mind. His senior sister cared for him so much because she knew what he had suffered in his former home. She was kind to him out of pity, unlike his junior sister, who genuinely admired and loved him.
Senior Sister, you shouldn't pity me, you shouldn't know my past. Those who know the truth cannot live.
So, when Xie Wanning was in so much pain from the poison that her face turned pale, Jiang Ci brought Ye Qianqian to Xie Wanning as if he wanted to take credit.
"Junior sister, I will take revenge for everything that senior sister did to you."
"Thank you, Aci."
Jiang Ci blushed and her heart raced for the first time because of the word "A-Ci".
After that, he constantly "retaliated" against Xie Wanning, using poison, Gu worms, and even curses on her, all for the sake of his junior sister's smile and her gentle "Aci".
After the eldest sister died, the junior sister seemed to have become a different person and never looked at him again.
"Jiang Ci, you're really disgusting! You're always messing around with your poisons and Gu worms, I really don't want to see you."
That was the first time Ye Qianqian looked at Jiang Ci with disgust, shattering Jiang Ci's heart.
Ye Qianqian left, and Jiang Ci was abandoned.
He thought of his senior sister, who would comfort and take care of him. But she was gone; he had killed her with his own hands.
In the end, Jiang Ci committed suicide by poisoning herself out of despair.
In this life, he will definitely hold onto his senior sister; she is the one who truly cares for him.
Seeing the fear in Xie Wanning's eyes, Jiang Ci felt a sense of satisfaction. He was no longer the object of his senior sister's sympathy; he could now completely control her.
"Can you lift the curse?" Si Jinchuan asked in a somber tone.
"I don't understand." Jiang Ci's gentle smile disappeared, replaced by a smug smile.
"Senior Brother Si, this guy deserves a beating, don't stop me." Lin Jingquan rolled up his sleeves and punched Jiang Ci in the face.
"puff!"
Jiang Ci spat out a mouthful of blood, but smiled as he looked at Lin Jingquan.
"What are you laughing at!" Lin Jingquan was about to throw another punch when he felt powerless and his right hand began to turn black.
"Junior Brother Lin, you've been poisoned." Qiao Qingzi rushed over and grabbed Lin Jingquan's hand to examine him.
"Just a minor injury," Lin Jingquan said defiantly, trying to pull his hand back. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and every muscle tensed from the sudden pain.
Qiao Qingzi grabbed Lin Jingquan's hand and pulled up his sleeve. She saw that his entire right hand had turned black, and the poison was spreading towards his chest.
Qiao Qingzi took out silver needles and said seriously, "Take off your shirt, and I'll help you suppress the spread of the toxin."
"No!" Lin Jingquan's expression changed, and he retreated repeatedly. Qiao Qingzi frowned, grabbed Lin Jingquan, and stuck a silver needle into his right hand.
“If we don’t suppress the poison now, it will spread.” With that, Qiao Qingzi took out a second silver needle and said seriously, “So, Junior Brother Lin, please take off your shirt so I can insert the needle for you.”
"No, men and women shouldn't touch each other," Lin Jingquan said awkwardly, his face flushed.
Qiao Qingzi was both amused and exasperated. As a medical practitioner, treating patients was a normal part of her job. How could she have known that Lin Jingquan would be such a stubborn patient?
Qiao Qingzi's gaze fell on the immobilization talisman that had fallen to the ground. It was the same talisman that had been used to immobilize Jiang Ci earlier. She had a solution.
The immobilization talisman quickly adhered to Lin Jing's entire body, rendering him completely unable to move.
"You can't escape."
"No! No! Help!"
Lin Jingquan watched in horror as the silver needles in Qiao Qingzi's hand drew closer and closer. He screamed, but he was powerless to resist.
