Lin tian and steward qiang had just exited after signing the contract .
They did not wanted to look at the pleased expression of Dou shu.Today they had been humiliated and accused of various crimes .
"Young master are you relaxed now "steward qiang asked
Lin tian froze at the words .
"No .I am not convinced at my heart .I am very angry .But what can I do "he was dejected
"Young master should I send patriarch news about this "qiang
"No I don't want to trouble family "The elders in the family aren't United . patriarch was single handedly supporting him .if he got the news .He would probably try to prove his innocence and support him.It will further displease other elders .Not to mention they hadn't enough reach or say in outside silver tail city.
"That is indeed a good decision.The difference between Dou and lin clan is quite big.Lin clan only has 8 elders in the family . whereas Dou clan has 14 elders in their clan .And with the contract in their support.they have support from government's knights."
"Grandpa qiang you say scary things .what does Dou clan have to do with this "lin tian couldn't understand how the clan was involved.was'nt it only Dou shu who framed them as swindlers.
"Huh I see .that is indeed right .But do not forget the grievances you suffered today .In the cultivation world there is saying '10years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge . Don't forget what happened today "qiang
"I don't think I can forget it either "
When they were some mile distance away from knight base.they heard something that grabbed lin tian's attention.
"Look at her isn't she fine woman ."
"But isn't the price too much "
"I don't think her appearance is worth it "
"What do you know I heard she has child with her . together they might be just worth that much "
"Even in fragrance brothel this price would be considered high "
A group of men's were surrounding a female figure and looked at her with lecherous eyes .
Lin tian was just thinking about what was happening when someone came rushing to him .however steward qiang swiftly stood in front of lin tian protecting him .
The figure bumped into qiang's legs and rolled back .
Lin tian took a look only to find out it was just a child maybe of 08 years .
The child was thin and his cheek bones were showing .the child was malnourished. His clothes were dirty and they had a tear here and there .lin tian looked at the child with pity.it looked like some beggar's child .
The child who rolled down . Didn't cry immediately after standing up .while holding tears he said .
"Kind sir ,would you like to buy me.i can work
Hard .I can do anything you give me to do .cleaning ,house chores ,I can even pick and dump toilet bucket "
The child tried to show his usefulness by picking a rock on the side .However the rock was too heavy and the child fell down .steward qiang moved swiftly and threw the rock aside . saving child from any possible impact of rock .
"I am definitely useful .give me chance and buy me .....uwaaah."the child grabbed lin tian who was about to help him and started crying bawling out .after some time the child fell asleep from weakness.
Lin tian and steward qiang looked at each other .
"Young master just leave this child .we have important things to do "
Unlike lin tian steward qiang was focusing on more important things . although he felt bad for child .But that didn't mean they had to do something.
"Grandpa qiang how can you...."
At this time a girl approached the child with anxious voice she said ."Yan Don't leave my side."she grabbed the child by hand and bowed . "Forgive my brother's rudeness noble sir " she apologized and left .
Looking at where she was going was'nt that place surrounded by mens .
"Beauty where did you left .I still haven't make up mind if you are worth the price .kehheh"
"Is that your brother .How about you two come together and I will pay a gold coin.He can be a servant in my residence .while you serve me .This way brother and sister can stay together "
Lin tian was curious what was happening .
Steward qiang reminded lin tian to go back .As they should make preparations to leave this city .But lin tian ignored him.
He wanted to help and see what was happening.When he got closer he saw the girl from before .
She was standing still surrounded from intense gazes .she had a cloth sheet in her hand .on it Was written something with broken words .'please buy me '
'i am willing to sell myself As a slave "
"What is happening here "lin tian asked
A man answered his answer "Nothing big just this girl is selling herself. however the price and condition she has said are impossible or too much hassle .so no one has bought her yet "
"Some of us here are trying to lower her conditions"
"What do you mean selling herself ?"lin tian asked .
"This...if you don't understand this is no place for you step aside ."
"Grandpa qiang what does he mean ."lin tian
"It's....it's like this because of the beast tide many villages and households were destroyed .Leaving many left without anything to eat or sleep.she is probably one of the unfortunate whose everything was destroyed from beast tide .She has nothing left to eat nor a place to sleep ."
"In order to survive she has no choice but to sell herself as a slave or servant ."qiang said after a little thinking
Lin tian's heart ached hearing this ."Grandpa qiang we should help her ."
"Young master don't be emotional.buying slave is different from buying commodities.you should focus on important things forward "qiang thought lin tian wanted to buy slave .But he was not at that age yet . where he needed servant . Moreover a slave would only be burden in their mission.
"Grandpa qiang Please...."
"Young master I won't advocate it .if you do need servant .you can get them after coming back from mission "steward qiang
"What is the point of my status.if I can't even help someone "lin tian
"Fine young master you can do whatever you want ."qiang said troubled and stood back away from crowd .
Lin tian squeezed through the crowd of men and took a look around.The child was sleeping near a wall and crying in his sleep.The girl that was withstanding the strange and lecherous gazes of crowd . Stood alone in front of her brother as though shielding him.Although nervous and trembling under the intense gazes of crowd she didn't hide .Lin tian felt she was quite brave .Even he may not able to bear the gaze filled with malicious greed .But this girl was facing bravely .
Her clothes were dirty and ragged.She had thin arms and legs . similar to her brother she was malnourished.Her appearance was dirty and poor.But her face was clear and one co
"From her appearance no one would buy her .But she has kept her face clean "said someone
"But who knows whether she is beautiful underneath or not "
"The price is too much .I can get 10 like her is less amount"
Lin tian heard many comments.Do these people not know kindness and sympathy.He felt bad for the girl who was being treated as commodity .
A rogue person tried to grab her .But the girl backed away .
"Please sir do not touch me before buying "girl said in trembling voice
"You have to atleast let us check.whether you are worth the money or not . Don't everyone think so "
"How can we buy you without knowing anything what you are like under the clothes ."
"Atleast show us a glimpse .whether you are comparable to those courtesan in big brothels "
"Yeah we should atleast know if you worth it "
The crowd was putting pressure on poor girl .
"Sir.....if....if you think ...not worth it ....than leave.but you can only touch me if you buy me "the girl replied in nervousness.
"I will give you a silver coin.if you let me feel your chest ."A man threw a silver coin and said confidently
"Sir....please pay the full amount and you can touch me anywhere you want ."
"F**k you are just a lowly slave and you have so much attitude.Do you think anybody will buy you ."
"Let me feel your chest if I like them .I might just pay half the price of your demand . That's the highest offer you have received so far."A ruffian like man said as he looked her up and down .
"Come with me nobody is going to pay you more "
The girl hesistated for little.she did calculation on her fingers and rejected the offer .
"I am sorry sir ...I can't go with you"she made up her mind .
Half of the crowd disappeared after hearing her .Those who remain were only trying to pressurize her into lowering her conditions.Some even showed her silver coins .
"Look beauty this much money is enough to feed you and your brother .I am sure you are hungry .this brother will let you eat the famous delicacies"
There were others who were also showing their money and trying to tempt her.
Looking at the various offers.her eyes were also shining bright .but she composed herself . Once she became slave she will have no say in her life .At that time who knows whether they will treat her better or worse .she couldn't take risks because of her brother .it didn't matter whether something happens to her .if Yan lived in good condition everything was worth it .
Lin tian grabbed handful of coins from his pouch and decided to give them to her .But He was bumped by another guy and his money fell in front of her.
The gold note fell in front of the girl .she picked it up and looked at the crowd .
"Excuse me to whose this money belongs too "
"Ahhh this money is mine "lin tian
The girl looked at the person before her and kowtowed .
"Master accept this lowly slave's kowtow .From now on mingzhu belongs to master "she said
"Ahhh this " lin tian scratched his chin .as his intention were misunderstood.But looking at the coveting eyes of others .he decided to explain later .
"F**k I can't believe there are fools with so much money "
"I can't believe there are guys who in lust forgets their common sense "
"She isn't even fully developed yet.little brother for this much money .you could have bought more than 5 slaves with fully developed body and lot of skills"
"Young man you lost your brain .after seeing a beauty.".
"Stupid kid. can't believe how horny today's kids are"
The crowd started dispersing as they left their
Comments.Lin tian was dumbstruck listening to their words . Weren't they trying to do the same .why was he blamed .he only wanted to help her and not buy.
After the crowd dispersed .Lin tian looked at the girl awkwardly .
