Chapter 4 It's Your Grandma
You should know that the Tiandou Auction House often auctions off some "slaves" who cannot be taken back because of their martial spirit mutations.

Although the two empires banned the slave trade, this decree was just a decoration!
In the Tiandou Empire, slavery is an extremely prosperous industry. Some families that cannot survive sell their sons and daughters, or become slaves themselves.

Some of them came from criminals and their families. After being tried, they were branded with slaves and could never turn their lives around, and could only be slaves.

These are still okay, but there is one type that is extremely despicable, and that is the slave hunting group.

Their hunting targets are not soul beasts, but people. Their targets are civilians, especially those who are good-looking or have awakened good martial spirits. They will hunt these civilians from a certain place, and then sell them to the auction house at a fixed price, and let the nobles auction these slaves.

Every moment, a large number of civilians in the Tiandou Empire were enslaved by the slave hunting groups. This situation could not be stopped at all. It could even be said that the royal family was involved.

Otherwise, slave auctions would not appear in major auction houses, as there is nothing that major auction houses dare not sell.

People like Sigwen who cannot be taken back because of their "martial soul mutation" are the most popular among the slave hunting groups.

But so far, no one has taken action, which is very intriguing.

Do you really think that those nobles without any bottom line will not take action just to win the favor of everyone in Tiandou City?

Obviously, it is impossible. The reason why the slave hunting group and those nobles dare not take action is that either Leosli and Sigwen have powerful backgrounds, or they are very strong.

The backstage knows about it now, but given the current situation, Leosli and Xue Qinghe are not very close friends. As of now, the latter is more likely.

"Hmm?" Xue Qinghe was slightly startled and looked at Leosli, "Duke, you don't seem to want me to help you."

Leosli glanced at the guards of the Prince's Mansion indifferently, only to see that they looked indifferent, as if they found Xue Qinghe's words puzzling.

"Duke, you must have misunderstood. We just happened to meet here. We didn't mean to follow you."

Seeing that Leosli's eyes gradually changed, Xue Qinghe quickly explained.

Leosli raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Xue Qinghe and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to explain."

After going through so much, there are very few people he can trust, and he doesn't want to owe anyone a favor!
If he was just an ordinary soul master, then perhaps he would be willing to accept Xue Qinghe's kindness, but unfortunately, he is not!
"I know." Xue Qinghe's eyes changed.

Xue Qinghe knew that Duke Leosli might be a little unkind to him, but he was not angry about it.

On the contrary, he became more interested in Leosley. A person with a unique personality always has something unusual about him.

Of course, Xue Qinghe is not one of those noble young men. He will not cause any trouble just because of a stranger.

Xue Qinghe is a smart man.

However, the relationship between him and Leosley is still quite delicate.

After all, in Xue Qinghe's heart, Leosli has become a cooperation partner worth winning over, and he naturally will not offend him easily.

The two continued to shop, and Leosli didn't mind being followed, since they were just buying something.

"Your Highness, it's noon. Would you like to eat together?" Leosili asked calmly, glancing at the sun in the sky. Xue Qinghe was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something crucial.

"Okay, since the Duke has spoken, I can't refuse." Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

"What's the head nurse's opinion?" Leosli glanced at Sigwen beside him.

Sigwen tilted her head, blinked, put her index finger on her lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have no objection."

"Head nurse?"

This was not the first time Xue Qinghe heard Leosli call Xigwen like this. After all, there was no such profession as nurse in Douluo Continent. The only professions were doctors, physicians, and healing spirit masters.

And Sigwen always called Leosli "Duke". If he didn't know that there was no Duke named Leosli in the two empires, he would probably have thought that these two people were from other places.

What makes Xue Qinghe curious is that the relationship between these two people seems to be very good, but the age gap between Leosli and Sigwen seems a bit too big, right?
Is this what they call friendship regardless of age?
If Leosli knew what Xue Qinghe was thinking at this moment, he would probably be in a dilemma.

If we really talk about age, Sigwen is older than your grandfather.

Although she looks as cute as a little girl, she is actually much older.

There are unofficial historical records that Sigweng is the descendant of Narvillette and a certain Melusine. Of course, Narvillette, the highest judge of Fontaine, denied this.

Sure enough, there is a reason why unofficial history is called unofficial. When it is truly unofficial, all that is left is "history".

However, the Melusin people are generally long-lived, and this "wild history" remains to be verified.

In addition, Sigwen had been in Melo Petersburg for a long time before Leosli entered it, and Melo Petersburg had been established for hundreds of years. Sigwen had been in this place for a long time, so if we really calculate her age, Sigwen may be very old, close to or even more than 400 years old.

However, Sigwen's appearance is indeed that of a little loli. No one would believe that such a little guy is already 400 years old.

The sunlight of Tiandou City filtered through layers of mist onto the streets, illuminating every corner with a shimmering golden glow. The bustling streets were bustling with people, and the streets were lined with a dazzling array of small shops. However, to Xue Qinghe, none of this seemed high-end enough.

"Duke, Miss Sigwen, this hotel is owned by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The quality of service and food are second to none in Tiandou City." Xue Qinghe looked at the majestic building, which looked like a towering fortress, surrounded by lush green plants and flowers, exuding a luxurious and elegant atmosphere.

The hotel's exterior is clad in colorful glazed tiles, which shimmer in the sunlight like a dazzling jewel set in the earth. On the marble steps at the entrance, two waiters in ornate uniforms bowed respectfully, their faces smiling, as if ready to greet the distinguished guests.

"How about we eat here?" Xue Qinghe turned and smiled at Leosili and Sigwen, his tone revealing confidence and composure. He knew that choosing the Qibao Hotel was not only for the delicious food, but also to establish his image in the eyes of others in social situations.

"Isn't it a bit too expensive?" Although Sigwen treated the civilians of Tiandou City every day, it was all free and free of charge. Therefore, she was still a little cautious about spending money, so she asked Leosli for his opinion.

However, Leosli didn't care, he nodded calmly and said with a smile: "It's okay."

Some people are being taken advantage of and it would be a waste not to eat it.

"Please." Xue Qinghe made a gesture of invitation.
