“I’m asking you, if I succeed in this transaction, will I be able to meet the owner of the item?”
The auction was not yet underway, and because these people were familiar faces here, their seats were arranged towards the front and middle.
“That’s hard to say.” Ji Shubai said, “The anonymity here is excellent. If the owner doesn’t want to show themselves, then no one will know who they are.” Even they are not able to find out. That’s why some rare items will sometimes appear here.
He nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that even if she won the bid for that item today, she would not be able to identify the person who put it up for auction.
Well, in that case.
The corners of Mu Lin’s mouth curved deeper.
If that person happened to be present right now, then she could set a trap, anyone who falls into it was willing.
“What do you think if I send something to auction at the last minute, would they refuse?”
“That depends on whether what you have is worth accepting.” Generally speaking, anything valueless or of ordinary value wouldn’t be considered here. But if it was of high value, they might make an exception.
“What if it is this?” Mu Lin took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag and presented it to them.
“What is this? Poison?” The voice was a bit oppressive.
“This is… Soul Return.”

What! Everyone was shocked.
Zhang Mingzhe was slightly stunned as he looked at the small porcelain bottle in Mu Lin’s hand. This was the stuff that almost killed him?
“May I see it?” He asked subconsciously.
Mu Lin nodded, “Feel free.”
Zhang Mingzhe took it and emptied the contents into his palm, revealing a transparent pill that looked like a crystal.
“It looks…quite ordinary.” Zhang Mingzhe commented. Or rather, it was quite beautiful.
“But don’t forget, this almost claimed your life.” Jing Youlan reminded him as she watched Zhang Mingzhe.
The simpler the thing looks, the more poisonous it can sometimes be. This applies to both the pill in Zhang Mingzhe’s hand and the person who took it out; if you’re not careful, you could lose your life within minutes and regret ever stepping into this world.
If Mu Lin wanted to, he believed, she could accomplish this and with ease.
“You want to lure out the person who poisoned you, right?” That’s why she chose the same poison.
Zhang Mingzhe narrated with a slight frown.
“Right.” A glint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Although she didn’t bring any antidotes with her when she came down the mountain, she did bring a significant amount of poison. After all, obtaining certain medicinal herbs was much more difficult outside the mountain.
Moreover, if the person really did get the Soul Return poison from her master, he would only have one pill. Therefore, the person who had once plotted against her master must be very… interested in the poison she holds, and even herself.
“But…” As he put the pill back into the bottle, Zhang Mingzhe hesitated, “if these things fall into the hands of those people again, they will use it to harm others.” He inexplicably felt a desire to dissuade Mu Lin.
However.
“And what of it?” A chill voice rose, carrying an unspeakable coldness that made everyone involuntarily freeze.
What did she mean by that?
“As long as I achieve my goal, I don’t care about anything else.” Mu Lin’s lips curve into a cold smirk, “Moreover, they have more than one type of poison, so it doesn’t matter if they get this one.” For Mu Lin, nothing and no one in this world could compare to her master. They weren’t even qualified.
At that moment, everyone truly felt that Mu Lin was the cold-hearted Poison Doctor of the legends.
Indeed, what is a life worth to a Poison Doctor? Compared to those hypocrites, Mu Lin could actually be considered a good person; at least she saves lives while she kills, and never harm innocent people.
They thought, perhaps compared to the people who die by Mu Lin’s hands, she has saved more; as long as they don’t provoke her taboo, Mu Lin won’t just attack anyone.
Thinking this way, they did not feel there was anything wrong with what Mu Lin was doing.
People are selfish, they were not ordinary, they have seen too much of the world’s inequities, therefore they will not advise Mu Lin on what is correct. Even they themselves don’t know.
And what if this stuff does end up being used on them again? The person who crafted it was right by their side. At most, the process would be a little bloody, but their lives were still firmly attached to them, no one could take it away.
“Actually, you don’t need to worry.” As if knowing what they were thinking, Mu Lin suddenly spoke again, “The last time Zhang Mingzhe was poisoned, I had just come down the mountain. I only brought poisons and some makeshift antidotes with me, without bringing any specific antidotes, so the treatment that time was a bit crude.” He lost quite a lot of blood.
Pausing for a beat, Mu Lin continued, “The antidote for Soul Return is easy to prepare, and I’ve already composed it anew. If you want it, you can always come to me.” In fact, she would rather not waste her precious energy saving people again next time. It’s exhausting.
From the looks of it, none of them took issue with what she did, causing the corners of Mu Lin’s mouth to curve into a deeper smile.
Perhaps, she could make a few friends after all.
They didn’t know it then, but their reactions at that moment established their positions in Mu Lin’s heart, becoming her first batch of…friends.
That’s what it’s called, right?
