Feng Jiu’s gaze swept over the fifty female slaves, and after she had asked a few questions, she picked out a few slaves and asked more questions. After about two quarters of an hour, she picked twelve out of the fifty slaves.

“I’ll take these twelve!” She looked at Leng Hua: “Pay him one hundred gold coins for each slave as per the original price, remember to take the contracts.”

“Yes.” Leng Hua responded, then he looked at the steward beside him and asked him to take him to pay for the slaves.

When the steward heard this, he glanced at his Master. He left with Leng Hua upon seeing his Master gesturing.

“Young Miss doesn’t want to accept my favour?” The man smiled and looked at her and asked: “We’ve been speaking for a while now but I still don’t know how I should address Miss.”

“We have bought the slaves we want and there is nothing else we need at the moment. Farewell Master Shao.” Feng Jiu nodded slightly and turned and left without looking at him.

Upon seeing this, the man smiled but didn’t try to stop her. After he watched her leave, he ordered: “Check her background.”

“Yes.” Though there was no one around, someone responded.

Feng Jiu returned to the carriage and said to Xuanyuan Mo Ze: “I bought twelve, four in the kitchen and eight in the courtyards. I think that should be enough.”

“Well, the people you choose are usually good.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze pulled her into the carriage to sit down. He had prepared a cup of tea on the small table in the carriage for her.

“Let’s go and see what kind of pills the Pill Tower in this city are like!” Feng Jiu said and took a sip of her tea, then she put the teacup down and picked up a piece of cake to eat.

“Fine.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze responded. The two of them sat in the carriage for a while before they heard Leng Hua’s voice.

“Master, I have brought the servants, and I also have their contracts with me. Do you want me to take them back to the mansion first?”

“Let Wei Feng take them back to the mansion! Tell Qingcheng to prepare maids’ uniforms for them, and tell Leng Shuang to give them instructions before arranging their work.” Feng Jiu instructed from the carriage.

“Yes.” The two of them outside the carriage responded. Wei Feng took the twelve girls back to the mansion while Feng Jiu and the others left the slave market and went elsewhere.

There seemed to be some commotion on the street and there were a lot of people in front, so the carriage was unable to get through. Therefore, Luo Yu pulled the carriage aside and said to the two people inside: “Master, Hell’s Lord, there seems to be someone fighting up ahead and the carriage can’t pass.”

“Can’t we go around?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked.

“The largest medicinal pill shop in the city is at the front of this street and this is the only way to get there.” Luo Yu said as he had already explored the route.

“In that case, then let’s wait!” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said. They weren’t in a hurry anyway, so he sat in the carriage and ate cakes and drank tea with Feng Jiu.

When she smelt the fragrance from outside, Feng Jiu opened the curtain and looked outside. Then she said to Leng Hua: “I think I can smell chestnuts. Go and take a look at where they’re selling it and buy some back.”

“Yes.” Leng Hua responded and looked around. When he saw an old man in the corner selling it, he walked over to buy some and brought them back to the carriage for Feng Jiu.

Although they could hear the sound of fighting coming from ahead and faintly heard the sounds of swords colliding, they weren’t curious and didn’t go out to look. They just sat in the carriage eating. However, they hadn’t expected that the fight up ahead would get more intense, and as the people watching the fight scattered, the people who were fighting eventually reached them…
