From slave trader to the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws

"Tap tap tap!"

The moon shines through the woods, and swallows leave their calls as they pass by.

Not long after Jiang She left, another group of figures arrived from the woods. The scarred man at the head of the group was stunned when he saw the limbs scattered on the ground. Then, his expression darkened, and he ordered his men to search for any living people.

"Boss, there's a survivor here!"

An anxious voice came from behind me.

Scarface turned around and saw that the man had turned over the mangled corpse, revealing a person who was still alive underneath.

"Little stone!"

Scarface recognized the man who was still alive.

"Who has caused you to suffer like this?"

He stepped forward and questioned him urgently, the scar that stretched from his left eye to the corner of his mouth looking especially terrifying with the anger on his face.

Little Stone stared blankly at the person at the head of the table, but couldn't see anyone. He could only see a patch of bright red blood stuck to his eyelids. He hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

"Brother Dao...is that you?"

"It is someone."

The scarred man nodded emphatically.

Little Stone is a young man he watched grow up. He is only fifteen or sixteen years old now and is the most promising candidate to pass the imperial examination among his group of "old guys".

Now he is about to die.

Now, however, he is about to die...

"Little Stone, who caused you to end up like this!"

Scarface asked impatiently, his only thought being to avenge his brothers.

"Cough cough... Brother Dao... is from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency." Little Stone was barely breathing, coughing up three or four mouthfuls of blood in just a few words. His voice was weak, and he looked critically ill, yet he still forced himself to speak with his last breath:

"The man was hiding his face, so his features were not visible, but it was known that he... was a disciple of Chen Kun, the Thunderbolt Hand..."

...

"tread!"

Jiang She climbed over the wall in his straw sandals and landed lightly in the courtyard. He wasn't carrying much money. He buried the bags of money under the willow tree by the river, waiting to retrieve them later.

As for the cheat code...

Jiang She summoned the panel and saw that the slave trader's wealth was displayed below his account:

"Forty-one taels and three mace?"

"It seems that this panel includes all the remaining wealth I have; it truly represents all my assets."

"In this way, it won't just be Xu Niangzi who gets to sleep with him."

Jiang She smiled.

This is truly a joyous occasion!

"Tap tap tap!"

Jiang She strolled leisurely around the steps, his steps slow yet quick, a scene reminiscent of early spring in the courtyard.

This is something Jiang She is used to doing.

Now they've asked him to do it.

Jiang She, however, was meticulous and did not act rashly. He waited until his divine sense spotted the servants sweeping in the courtyard, then passed by at just the right moment, so that there would be one or two "witnesses" around him.

"Brother Jiang, taking another morning walk?"

"yes."

"Don't walk too fast, or you'll aggravate your injury."

"Yes, I know."

Jiang She nodded and greeted the servants as he walked. Before he had taken more than a few steps, his divine sense detected a sobbing sound.

They were a young couple.

The man was sincere and earnest, while the woman was crying and sobbing.

"Waaaaah... Brother Sun, please don't marry me! I'm not pure anymore, waaaaah..."

"Yunniang, what nonsense are you talking about? I've only ever loved you in this lifetime!"

"But my body is dirty, and I don't even know who that person is..."

"What's the big deal? I'm only in love with you."

"Brother Sun~"

"Yunniang..."

"..."

Jiang She didn't hear clearly, but he heard the two crying for a while. He went to look for them and unknowingly walked into the west courtyard.

The Xu family's main house was also divided into east, south, west, and north. The servants lived in the east courtyard and slept on a large communal bed, while the guards like Jiang She, who had served the Xu family as dogs for generations, lived in the south courtyard.

As for the West Wing...

They were female slaves and maids.

"Little Sun, Yunniang?"

Jiang She stopped and saw the man and woman weeping in the west courtyard; they were Xiao Suntou and Yunniang.

He, however, was completely unaware of this, and only frowned as he asked:

"What happened here? Why are you two crying and wailing?"

"Waaah..."

Yunniang didn't speak, only cried and buried her head even lower.

Little Sun wiped away his tears and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Jiang, nothing happened. It's just that our wedding is coming soon, and we couldn't help but cry for a while because we're so happy."

"But we have disturbed Brother Jiang."

"Alas! What's the disturbance? This is too late."

Jiang She waved his hand to interrupt him, and seeing that the tears on their faces had dried, he only frowned and said:

"If someone bullies you, you should tell me. The three of us have known each other for over ten years, our friendship is as deep as water, as close as siblings. There's no need to cause any trouble for no reason, lest we implicate others."

"Yes, Brother Jiang, I know."

Xiao Sun nodded emphatically.

Seeing his behavior, Jiang She frowned and asked again:

"Are you really alright?"

"It's really nothing."

Little Sun nodded vigorously and said earnestly, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, nothing really happened."

"Alright then."

Jiang She nodded: "In that case, I will not stay any longer."

Waaah....

"Brother Sun, Brother Jiang is a good man."

Yunniang wiped away her tears, watching Jiang She's departing figure, but couldn't help but cry again.

Xiao Sun nodded, holding her head with a pained expression: "I know, but tomorrow is the day of the competition in Miss's courtyard. You have encountered trouble here, and I'm afraid it was my doing to ruin Brother Jiang's important plans."

"I dare not mention it to Brother Jiang."

Yunniang, who was always obedient and sensible, understood her husband's concerns and worries upon hearing this. She nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Sun is clever. It's good that the two of us know about this, but we shouldn't mention it to Brother Jiang at this juncture."

She was wronged.

But I didn't want others to suffer because of me.

Just like the wild grass in this courtyard, it falls under people's feet, it won't die when stepped on, but it has no reason to raise its head again.

...

"Buy it for me!"

Back in the house, Jiang She's mind stirred slightly. A flash of golden light appeared before his eyes, and he heard the sound of copper coins falling to the ground.

"Splash!"

Ten taels of silver were invested in fate.

The number following "slave trader" also changed from forty-one taels and three mace to thirty-one taels and three mace in an instant.

At this moment, Jiang She saw the water surface before him rippling like waves stirred by the wind.

His eyes flickered, revealing lines of text:

"Xu Lian"

"Background: Dingfengbo's top assassin, the number one killer in the martial arts world. Under the orders of Dingfengbo's leader, he infiltrated the Xu family. On the surface, he obeyed the orders of Wangyue Trading Company, but behind the scenes, he secretly plotted to find the immortal destiny left behind by the Xu family's ancestors."

"Evaluation: Long, shapely legs, full breasts, but lacking intelligence; easily manipulated and deceived; can be sold in three days."

Jiang She glanced at the evaluation, stroked his chin, and said:

"Long, shapely legs, ample bosom, and utterly clueless... Doesn't that mean she has long legs, a great figure, big breasts, and no brains?"

"It is easy to drive and easy to deceive, but only her trusted men can do it."

Jiang She continued watching. The upgrade progress was displayed on the board, and he discovered that the condition for a slave trader to upgrade was the number of slaves sold at the corresponding level.

"I'm only level eleven right now, and I need to sell eleven slaves to level up. Thankfully, I didn't add this 'price gouging' talent to the leveling requirements..."

"But it can be added elsewhere."

Jiang She pondered for a while, then raised his head, his eyes fixed intently on the last few words of the evaluation.

"It can be sold in three days."

Three days...

This time, it will take three days.
