"Lu Xiu, do you know any good slave market?"
Su Yuxin asked while looking around.
"Young Miss, Bamboo House is the most reputed shop to buy slaves. We should go there."
"Lead the way then, Lu Xiu."
After sometimes both Su Yuxin and Lu Xiu reached the Bamboo House. They both went in.
Seeing the customer arrive, the manager welcomed them.
"Welcome, young miss. What would you like us to do for you today?"
"Thank you. I am here to look for some slaves." Su Yuxin answered in a lazy tone.
"Your in luck , young miss. Just today morning we got fresh new batches. You will be our first customers to select them."
Manage explained while smiling.
"Oh. Bring them in then."
Manager then went to back door and bought 20 female slaves and 20 male slaves. Most of them eyes looked lifeless like those of puppets.
Su Yuxin glanced at everyone of them carefully studying them.
Some had their eyes on the ground daring not to look at her while few of them directly had an eye contact with her.
One of the boy caught her eyes. His eyes showed his unwillingness and hatred.
He clearly was liking the one who rebel alot.
Su Yuxin pointed at the slaves who still had some courage to look directly at her.
"Young Miss, you have a good taste."
Manager said trying curry favour her.
"Mhmm." Su Yuxin replied.
Finally she pointed at the boy,
"I want him too."
The manager followed her finger and looked at the boy she pointed.
"Young Miss, I won't lie but this boy is troublesome one. He rebels a lot and hits people. He isn't an obedient one."
Manager whispered in a small voice
"It's alright. Give me his contract too."
"As you say Young Miss. But I have already warned you though."
Manager bought all the contract of those slaves.
Su Yuxin paid him all the money and signed the contracts.
"Send them all to general mansion."
After saying that Su Yuxin stood up and walked out. Lu Xiu also followed her young miss.
"Young Miss, are we going back to general mansion now?"
"No, we will go meet my Master. I haven't gone to visit that old man."
In the 'Thousand Herb' backyard.
Alchemist Yue was glaring intensely at the door.
Shopkeeper was sweating beside him.
"So your telling that brat hasn't come to visit me?"
"Y-yes Master Yue."
Shopkeeper stammered nervously clearly scared of pissing Alchemist Yue more.
"M-master if you are worried about Young Miss so much. Why don't you visit the General Mansion?"
Alchemist Yue glared at him ;
"I clearly went there last week and reminded her. Yet she forgot about the promise she made. Who cares about her. If she doesn't want to come. She doesn't have to."
Alchemist hmphed and look away after saying that. He was acting like a little kid throwing tantrum.
"Oh, so you don't want to see me. Well then Lu Xiu we will be returning back to general mansion."
A familiar voice said in a lazy and languid tone.
Alchemist Yue looked at the door and saw Su Yuxin leaning against the door frame.
"Old man, I will be leaving then."
Su Yuxin turned around. Just as she was about to walk away a hand pulled her inside. She looked up and saw Alchemist Yue pulling her inside.
"You wench!! You had the audacity to make this old man worried and not coming to visit him. And finally when you come to visit me, you are already planning to leave!!"
Su Yuxin teased her master;
"Old man you were the one blabbering that you didn't care about me. So I got heartbroken hearing it and wanted to return home to find comfort."
"Brat, you know I didn't mean those words. And why didn't you come to visit me?"
Alchemist Yue asked annoyed.
"Just was focusing on my cultivation and lost track of my time."
"Whatever, come here let's practice alchemy."
Alchemist Yue then pulled Su Yuxin to alchemy room to teach more about herbs and pills.
After four hours, Su Yuxin finally came out of the alchemy room. She stretched her body.
"Ouch, this old man. Making me stay in same position for four hour straight. My body hurts now."
She looked around and saw Lu Xiu sitting on the chair and chatting with shopkeeper.
After seeing her young miss return from her lesson with Alchemist Yue , Lu Xiu stood up quickly and returned to her side.
"Young Miss, is everything alright?"
Lu Xiu was concerned seeing her young miss visibly annoyed.
Su Yuxin nodded her head.
"Just my body hurts staying in same position."
"Young Miss, if you won't mind I can massage your body once we return back."
"Okay then." Su Yuxin hummed.
Alchemist Yue then came out of the room.
"Dear disciple that will be it for today. Go home and try by yourself. Don't forget to visit tomorrow."
"Mhm then we will be leaving , old man."
Su Yuxin and Lu Xiu returned to General Mansion.
