"We were talking about the servant market," Lin Xin reminded him.
"Oh, right, the servant market is where captured disciples from other sects during missions, or various war slaves contributed by the Mortal Realm, are treated as commodities for trade. These servant slaves can be bought to serve as Cauldrons, or as toys, but most people buy them to serve as their personal servants. However, only the wealthy among those in the Qi Refinement Realm or the Innate stage frequent the place."
"That's somewhat interesting," Lin Xin raised an eyebrow.
The two of them chatted casually while waiting for the person they had called to finish moving things and cleaning up.
"Care for another game?" Dongyue had pulled out two sets of black and white Go stones at some point and grinned at Lin Xin.
Lin Xin didn't speak, simply sat down with him at the stone table and benches in the courtyard, and they began to play chess.
