After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 98 Obstructing Murder

Yi Weichun and Ye Zhaoxi chopped at the necks of the couple, knocking them unconscious with a single blow.

Ouyang Mingyue then struck the masked man with a palm strike, but the masked man easily dodged Ouyang Mingyue's attack by turning around.

"Hmph, a mere trick!"

"Oh, really?" At this moment, Ouyang Mingyue had already taken the sword from his waist and was back to back with Yi Weichun and Ye Zhaoxi.

"You! You actually took my sword while I was away!" the masked man exclaimed in fury.

Without his weapon, he could only resort to palm techniques, striking them with a single palm.

"Scatter!" Taking advantage of the two separating, Ouyang Mingyue drew her sword and charged straight at the masked man.

“Ouyang…” Yi Weichun originally wanted to suggest that he give him the sword, since it was his usual weapon.

"What's wrong, Brother Chun?" Ye Zhaoxi heard him call out.

"It's nothing. I didn't expect Miss Ouyang's swordsmanship to be so exquisite."

Seeing Ouyang Mingyue thrust her sword at his palm, the masked man could only back his attack. He wanted to take the opportunity to fight Ouyang Mingyue in close combat, but he did not expect that the other party's sword was so tight and impenetrable that he was wounded in several places.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Ouyang Mingyue, he turned around and tried to run away.

"What are you two chatting about? Stop him!" Ouyang Mingyue gritted her teeth at the two of them. She was dealing with the thief, what were they doing? What kind of time was this to be talking about love!

Yi Weichun and Ye Zhaoxi also reacted quickly and joined the battle, entangled with the man in black. In the end, the man in black was kicked in the back by Ouyang Mingyue and fell into the courtyard.

“Tell me, which sect are you from?” Ouyang Mingyue pointed her sword at the masked man.

"Who exactly are you?" The masked man spat out a mouthful of blood.

"We are chivalrous heroes who help those in need!" Ye Zhaoxi added.

Ouyang Mingyue and Yi Weichun both turned to look at her. How could you say such a thing!

"Hero? Bullshit! You won't get anything out of me. Do whatever you want with me!" The masked man spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You! What's the point of talking to him! Kill him! If you can't do it, I will!" Ye Zhaoxi was enraged by the masked man's words and threatened to kill him.

"Go away, get out of here. These are my prisoners. Go tie up the two people in the house too, find our weapons, and find that muscle relaxant powder. Feed it to the three of them first." Ouyang Mingyue ordered the two men to bring the couple over as well.

"Why not just kill him!" Ye Zhaoxi exclaimed, bewildered. "Are you going to protect them?"

"If you say that again, I'll give you another dose of muscle-relaxing powder!"

Seeing this, Yi Weichun quickly pulled the reluctant Ye Zhaoxi to find medicine and their weapons and belongings, and also threw the unconscious couple into the yard.

“Miss Ouyang, we’ve found everything, but what about this medicine? We can’t tell which one is the muscle-relaxing powder,” Yi Weichun said, somewhat perplexed.

“That’s easy, just feed them all!” Ouyang Mingyue thought there was nothing difficult about it.

"Girl, spare us! Hero, spare us!" The couple were so frightened when they heard that Ouyang Mingyue was going to feed them all the medicine that they forgot to pretend to faint.

You should know that the medicine they prepared included not only muscle relaxants, sleeping pills, laxatives, and mildly toxic rash medications, but also other similar drugs. If they had taken all of these, they wouldn't have survived.

"Awake? If you're awake, it's even simpler. Then tell me which one is the muscle relaxant powder. Take it yourselves!"

"This..." The couple hesitated.

"Then I'll just feed you all of it!" Ouyang Mingyue pulled the old woman and tried to stuff the medicine into her mouth.

"No, no, we'll eat it, we'll eat it ourselves!" Upon seeing this, the two quickly grabbed one of the medicines and swallowed it, instantly collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

"Alright, give another serving to that masked man!"

Yi Weichun took the medicine, pried open the masked man's head, and forced him to swallow the muscle-relaxing powder. "Even so, I won't say a word!"

"Why did you remove my mask?" the masked man asked, somewhat annoyed.

"I didn't expect you to be so pretty." Ouyang Mingyue had initially thought that this person wore a mask to cover up a scar on his face, but now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

"You don't actually have a crush on him, do you?" Ye Zhaoxi walked over with a strange look on her face.

"If you can't speak, you can pretend to be mute!" Ouyang Mingyue glared at Ye Zhaoxi.

"Now you can tell us who you are? Where did you send all those people?" Ouyang Mingyue brandished her sword in front of the masked man.

"Hmph, kill me if you want, I won't say a word..." Before he could finish speaking, the masked man fainted.

"What's going on? Isn't this supposed to be muscle relaxant?" Ouyang Mingyue and Yi Weichun looked at each other, both completely bewildered.

"Um... I think that young master mixed some sleeping potion into the muscle relaxant he was giving him," the old woman on the ground explained.

"Ah, I thought both packets were muscle relaxants, so I was thinking of feeding him more so he wouldn't run away." Yi Weichun said somewhat awkwardly.

"Never mind, let's rest first. I'm a bit tired, and I haven't even had breakfast yet!"

The three of them went inside to find food, leaving the other three lying in the yard.

"Why didn't you just kill them! They deserve to die!" Ye Zhaoxi still didn't understand.

"Kill, kill, kill! All you know is killing. Let me tell you, I've put up with you for a long time. You're saved, but what about all those people they used to trade? Where did they go? Are they just going to leave them alone? What's the point of killing them? They're just small fry!" Ouyang Mingyue couldn't understand why someone so brainless would venture into the martial world.

"I..." Ye Zhaoxi stammered, "What do those people have to do with me!"

"What's it to you? Aren't you a chivalrous woman? Aren't you supposed to help the weak and punish the wicked? So you only care about yourself? Then why bother being a chivalrous heroine? Wouldn't it be better to just go home and be a lady?"

Ouyang Mingyue was utterly disappointed. If all people in the martial arts world were like this, then what was the point of her venturing into the martial arts world?

"But in the past, when we encountered bad people, we would just kill them!"

"Then you should ask yourself if you killed the wrong people!" Ouyang Mingyue said calmly. "No matter what you think, this time I need to find out the whereabouts of the sold-out people from them and rescue them. Moreover, I need to follow the clues through them to find the mastermind behind them and bring them all to justice. Only in this way can I truly rid the people of this scourge!"

After listening, Ye Zhaoxi didn't say anything more.

“Miss Ouyang is right. We were too naive. Xi’er and I will do our best to help rescue those people who have been sold into slavery.” Seeing the atmosphere was getting tense, Yi Weichun quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Mingyue thought, "Very well, he's also an idealist. We can't count on them."
