Just now, if it wasn't for him stopping her due to displeasure, the men who were whipping women would have probably been in trouble.

Who would have thought that instead of venting his anger on those people, it was actually here that they came looking for a beating.

Ruo Lan squinted, a cold smile appearing on her face: "Even if we're going to talk about the consequences, it's your master who wants to talk to me. What is a small manager like you worth?" I'm here to buy slaves, not to see a play. Get the hell back! "

Ruo Lan withdrew her leg, then kicked his waist. The middle-aged man screamed as he was sent flying again.

"That's right, go call your master!" Rowland said, squinting.

The entire market was silent. Not a single sound could be heard.

It was common for noblemen to come here to put on a show of being mighty, but there were very few who did that.

One must know that these stalls in the slave market looked shabby, but they all had a huge force backing them. This was definitely not something that a normal royal family's young lord could provoke!

Ruo Lan narrowed her eyes and stood on the spot, looking at the middle-aged man who was being helped to his feet by a few burly men.

Suddenly, a clear round of applause rang out and the crowd gradually parted.

A man in his thirties, wearing a silk gown, slowly walked out.

Rowland noticed that on the back of the man's right hand was an exquisite serpent, coiled around the entire palm like a real snake.

The man with the viper's body arrived in front of Ruo Lan with a smile. He said in a clear voice, "Young master, may I ask if you are here to buy slaves at the slave market?"

Ruo Lan revealed a cold smile, "If they're not here to buy slaves, then are they here to enjoy the scenery?"

The man clapped his hands and said loudly, "Good! There's a rule of a slave market, since the one who comes is a customer, then my subordinate deserves to be beaten! Someone come! "

As he shouted, more than ten sturdy warriors with swords on their waists were squeezed out from the crowd.

"That bastard actually dares to offend even an esteemed guest. Just by beating him up, isn't that just letting him off easy?" Go and cut off both his legs! "

The middle-aged man's eyes carried a baleful gaze, and the contents of the order caused the nearby Lin Jiao to widen her eyes in shock before lightly covering her mouth.

Without any questions or questions, two of the warriors walked up to the middle-aged man.

In the midst of that man's wails, a knife fell from his hand …

Blood splattered everywhere as both of his legs were chopped off!

The middle-aged man was in so much pain that he fainted.

Suddenly, the market was filled with the screams of women. The women who had been whipped by the whips immediately got up and moved to the side, not caring about their acting.

"Alright, I've done what I had to do."

A man in his thirties narrowed his eyes as he stared at Ruo Lan, his eyes filled with a sinister aura. "Then honorable young master, just what are you here to buy? Is it really worth my subordinate's efforts? "

Ruo Lan looked at the man and suddenly felt that the venomous snake in his hand was extremely dazzling.

Thinking of this, Ruo Lan suddenly laughed. She squinted her eyes and laughed, looking very happy.

However, he sighed in his heart when he saw this.

Because he knew that at this moment, Ruo Lan was really going to kill him.

"Respected Young Master, a smile cannot hide anything." The man said lightly.

Ruo Lan retracted her smile and nodded slightly. "I'm here to buy those slaves around the age of fourteen."

"Oh, really?" The man said flatly, "So, what do you want, how much do you want? "If possible, the despicable boss can fulfill your request."

Ruo Lan smiled and said, "There aren't too many requirements. As long as you are under fourteen years old, you will be fine with not having a terminal illness."

The man nodded and said nonchalantly, "Most of the slaves are at this age. How many do you want?"

Ruo Lan's eyes narrowed as she raised her right index finger and extended a finger.

"One?" The man's face revealed a look of disdain.

Ruo Lan smiled and shook her head.

"Ten?" The man's expression became a bit more serious. Ten slaves could be considered a big deal.

Rowland sighed, as if for the intelligence of the man in front of her.

However, when the number reached this number, the man before her no longer cared about Ruo Lan's attitude. The upper limit of his authority was twenty slaves, if not ten … That would be at least a hundred!

The man looked at Ruo Lan and said with a deep voice, "Esteemed Young Master, are you sure you aren't joking?"

Ruo Lan sighed again and said, "Talking to you underlings is such an effort, go find your boss." "Remember, big boss!"

The man with the viper on the back of his hand didn't dare to say anything more and immediately ordered people to find the big boss.

He didn't doubt that Ruo Lan was intentionally playing with him. No one would use playing as an excuse to request a meeting with their big boss. That would be courting death.

As for the finger that Ruo Lan was pointing, the man kept speculating. Could it be a hundred? Or is it... A thousand?

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but laugh. It couldn't be a thousand, no one would buy a thousand slaves to be servants.

Even if it was the palace, it was impossible to buy a thousand slaves at once.

What is it then?

The man shook his head.

Rowland sat on the chair the slave-writer had brought, under the dais, and went nowhere else.

The man with the viper on his right hand was waiting quietly at the side.

Ruo Lan waved her hand and called over Xue Ziling, who was squatting by the side while Lin Jiao examined his injuries.

"I could have stopped the man when he kicked you, but I didn't. Xiao Qi, that big monk, he can save you too, but he still didn't do anything … Do you know why? " Ruo Lan looked at Xue Ziling and slowly said.

Xue Ziling grinned and covered his stomach.

The man's kick was extremely hateful, almost kicking Xue Ziling out of his internal injuries.

He looked at Ruo Lan and shook his head, somewhat at a loss.

Ruo Lan sighed. "How old are you?"

"Twelve." Xue Ziling answered.

"Twelve years old …"

Ruo Lan slightly nodded, "It's already not small anymore." Since he was a man, he should learn to stand on his own two feet. Others bullied you only because you didn't have the courage to fight back. Remember, if anyone dares to kick you in the future, you must kick them back! If he kicks you, you have to give him back ten kicks! "

Xue Ziling didn't quite understand, but he still nodded with some doubts.

Lin Jiao had a puzzled expression on her face, but Lin Mao and Su Li beside her lightly nodded.

As a woman, it was difficult for Lin Jiao to understand the meaning behind Ruo Lan's words. However, Lin Mao had experienced many things in the past few years. Naturally, he understood the meaning behind her words.

As for the reprimand, even though he was born in a Buddhist family, but because of this, he probably understood the meaning even better than Ruo Lan who said it.

Using a tooth to return a tooth, most of the time, it wasn't just to repay the grievances.

Most of the time, this also represented a type of bloodlust.

The few of them chatted as they waited for their big boss.

Since she was the big boss, she didn't know anything else, but she had to be big enough. Ruo Lan was prepared to wait for a long time.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on the side. Several female slaves, who had been beaten to death by the whips, were standing beside the men who had begun to whip them, whispering something to each other.

"I find it strange. Are those women slaves? "Why would they be willing to play along with these slave traders?" Rowland looked surprised.

Xue Ziling nodded and said, "Of course I am willing! Since they were already destined to be slaves, then they would never be able to escape in this lifetime. Why not choose a better master for themselves? Buying their master out of sympathy at least proved that he was kind-hearted, and they would not be too sad in the future. If they were to be bought by brothels or the army, or even fallen into the hands of some tyrannical masters, it would truly be a fate worse than death! "

When he heard this, Roland's eyes went wide. "Why would the army want to buy these women?"

Xue Ziling was a little hesitant. He looked at Ruo Lan, not knowing what to say.

Lin Mao, who was standing to one side, said in a low voice, "Be a military courtesan."

Ruo Lan's expression instantly became slightly unsightly when she heard this, and Lin Jiao even covered her mouth as she gasped in a low voice.

Lin Mao suddenly felt a little awkward as he said, "My lord, Lin Mao has been rude. If it's like this, you shouldn't have …"

Ruo Lan took a deep breath and slowly shook her head. "No, you did the right thing. I hope that you can be like this in the future. No matter what it is, tell me exactly what it is. "

Hearing Ruo Lan's words, a look of reverence appeared on Lin Mao's face.

He had actually regretted it just now after he had spoken.

Lin Mao had been working in the casino for a long time. He had seen countless nobles with honorable statuses in the Royal Capital. The more noble their status was, the greater their prestige would be, and the number of rules they had set was uncountable.

Putting aside the words "military courtesan", he probably wouldn't be able to avoid a beating if he were to open his mouth on his own.

But this young master in front of him, for him to be able to open up such an event, it really caused Lin Mao to feel grateful in her heart, and even more so made her feel that she was not following the wrong person.

While they were talking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the slave market, accompanied by the sound of rapid hoofbeats.

In the slave market, the originally narrow streets were a mess due to the flow of people. Then, two squadrons of cavalry, armed to the teeth, brandished their horsewhips to disperse the passersby as they sped towards Ruo Lan.

Twenty cavalrymen stood in two rows and arrived in front of the four of them. They didn't stop and continued charging forward.

The nearby Lin Mao's expression slightly changed, and Lin Jiao's beautiful face went pale. However, Ruo Lan didn't move, and the two of them forcefully stood on the same spot.

Ruo Lan sat on the chair. She didn't even move, but the corner of her mouth curled up into a sneer.

Sure enough, when these twenty odd cavalrymen impulsively approached her, the one who had been standing peacefully all this time suddenly took a big step forward.

He raised both his hands, and a gale of wind was suddenly formed in his robes. The twenty odd cavalrymen felt as if they had been caught in a stormy sea.

The warhorse hooted and fell to the ground.

This group of over twenty people had originally wanted to teach Ruo Lan and those ignorant brats a lesson, but who knew that they would be reprimanded the moment they arrived.

When these cavalry soldiers stepped on the horses, none of them were able to get their feet out. They were all pressed down by the horses and kept screaming in pain.

The venomous snake tattooed man, who had been standing beside Ruo Lan and was preparing to watch a good show, had a drastic change in expression.

He had never expected that the handsome monk following by Ruo Lan's side would possess such powerful strength.
