After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Xiao Qiongzhu stood outside the wine shop, observing the business conditions of the shop.

She discovered that the reason why there were not many people was because the price of Gyokuro wine was relatively high, and only wealthy families could afford to buy some to drink.

She got off the carriage and walked up to Zhang Haiqing, the owner of the wine shop.

Zhang Haiqing looked at the elegant and handsome young man in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked him up and down.

Seeing that he wanted to recognize someone but was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, Xiao Qiongzhu couldn't help but smile and said, "Manager Zhang, how are you?"

When Zhang Haiqing heard the familiar female voice, he suddenly realized what was going on and immediately bowed to her: "Meet the Master."

He continued, "Master, I was really shocked by your appearance. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have changed so much that I didn't recognize you."

As Zhang Haiqing spoke, he led Xiao Qiongzhu into the wine shop.

Various wine jars are placed in the wine shop, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of wine.

Xiao Qiongzhu looked around and was satisfied with the business performance of the wine shop.

Zhang Haiqing poured a glass of Yu Lu wine for Xiao Qiongzhu. She took a sip and the familiar taste made her nod in appreciation.

After putting down the wine glass, she said seriously: "I came here this time to find out about my master Ji Wuming. I heard that you have collected some clues?"

Zhang Haiqing replied respectfully, "Master, a few days ago, there was always a young man in his twenties, full of bookish air, who always came to the shop to buy wine and asked who the winemaker was. He also claimed to be an old friend of the winemaker. I was worried that it was someone in the same industry who came to ask, so I paid more attention to him. This young man has a unique temperament and pure eyes, as if he is not stained by the fireworks of the world, and he is incompatible with the people around him. Therefore, I deliberately wrote down his address."

After saying that, Shopkeeper Zhang carefully handed over a piece of paper.

Xiao Qiongzhu took the paper, looked at the address on it, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Have you asked Qianshan to investigate him?"

"Our secret guards have investigated, but they couldn't find any background of this young master. He seemed to have suddenly appeared in Cangzhou City recently, and he didn't bring anyone with him. What's even more puzzling is that this young master is actually asking around about the person who brewed Yulu wine."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiongzhu became even more certain that this young man had a close connection with his master Ji Wuming.

At this time, Qianshan suddenly appeared. He looked at Xiao Qiongzhu, who was becoming more and more beautiful, and said softly, "Do you want to meet that young master? I know where he is now."

Xiao Qiongzhu nodded, said goodbye to Manager Zhang, and then got on a carriage with Qianshan and headed straight towards a dilapidated temple in the city.

Qianshan drove the carriage while introducing Xiao Qiongzhu, "That young man is really a peculiar person. He seems to be ignorant of the ways of the world and is always cheated out of money. Recently, he has even fallen to such a state that he has to live in a dilapidated temple. Our people have been watching over him in secret, otherwise he would be in a much worse situation."

As Xiao Qiongzhu listened to Qianshan's description, she became more and more curious about this special young man.

"We're here, girl, please get off." Qianshan's voice interrupted Xiao Qiongzhu's thoughts.

She got off the carriage and was surprised at the dilapidated state of the temple.

The tiles on the roof were in tatters and some had fallen off, exposing the wooden beams.

The Buddha statues in the temple were also covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were weeds growing all around them, with a few wild birds occasionally flying by.

Xiao Qiongzhu looked at this desolate and dilapidated temple. Is it sure that the young man can live here?

She looked at Qianshan in confusion.

Qianshan understood what she meant. He shook his head helplessly and said, "This kind of place is indeed uninhabitable, but that young master did choose to live here."

At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Who are you?"

Xiao Qiongzhu turned around and saw a man in front of her wearing a simple gray-white robe. Although it was a little old, it looked clean and neat.

The man had a simple wooden hairpin on his head, which tied up his black hair neatly, making him look like a typical scholar.

His facial features weren't particularly good looking, but he had a kind of peaceful, comfortable, and gentle beauty.

Especially those deep eyes, which were staring straight at Xiao Qiongzhu, making her feel an inexplicable pressure.

Xiao Qiongzhu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. Just as she was about to ask, she saw the man take out a compass from his arms.

Xiao Qiongzhu's eyes suddenly became stern and she stared at the compass closely.

She was very familiar with this compass; it belonged to her master Ji Wuming.

Her voice was slightly cold: "What is your relationship with Ji Wuming?"

The man seemed not to hear what she said. He held the compass in his hand and walked around Xiao Qiongzhu, then counted with his fingers.

He raised his head and examined Xiao Qiongzhu's face carefully. Xiao Qiongzhu looked into his eyes, which were empty and deep, as if they were going to suck her soul in.

Xiao Qiongzhu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and her whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.

Qianshan, who was standing nearby, also noticed something was wrong and hurried forward to pull Xiao Qiongzhu over.

Xiao Qiongzhu turned pale and fainted.

Qianshan was shocked and pushed Xiao Qiongzhu into Xuanwu's arms. The sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed and pointed directly at the man.

He shouted sternly, "What did you do to her? If you don't tell the truth, you will not be able to leave this place today."

The man was not afraid of Qianshan's threat at all. He gently pushed away the sword and said calmly, "Don't worry, she's fine and will wake up soon."

Qianshan glared at him: "Who are you?"

"I am Ji Guiyi, her senior brother."

Qianshan was shocked when he heard this and asked in disbelief: "You...you are from Guimen?"

Ji Guiyi nodded and acknowledged his identity.

"Since you are her senior brother, why did you attack her just now? Why did she faint?"

Ji Guiyi explained: "I didn't do anything to her, I just wanted to confirm her identity."

After saying that, Ji Guiyi took off the string of Buddhist beads in his hand and walked forward to put them on Xiao Qiongzhu.

When he saw that Xiao Qiongzhu was wearing a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, he couldn't help but be stunned.

His hand gently brushed across her wrist, and the string of Buddhist beads instantly turned into powder.

Ji Guiyi sighed lightly and put his Buddhist beads on Xiao Qiongzhu's wrist.

As soon as the Buddhist beads touched her skin, a faint golden light emanated.

Qianshan and others were stunned when they saw this and did not dare to disturb the man named Ji Guiyi easily.

From the moment she put on the string of Buddhist beads, Xiao Qiongzhu felt a warm current rushing to her forehead.

The whole body seemed to be bathed in a warm golden light.

In the dim light, she seemed to hear a faint voice calling softly in her ear: "Come back."

Xiao Qiongzhu slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in Xuan Wu's arms.

Ji Guiyi looked at her and said softly, "You're back."

Xiao Qiongzhu stared at Ji Guiyi's face in a daze and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am your senior brother Ji Guiyi, Ji Wuming is my uncle, and my master is his junior brother."

"How old are you?"

"I just turned twenty this year."

"Then you are younger than me, how can you be my senior brother?"
