“Since you have already found people of your own kind, you can go with them.”
Lai Jianlin generously handed the people over to others, and as someone took the two female slaves away, it also spared him the trouble.
“Thank you, follow us.”
The earl thanked Lai Jianlin, gave him a deep bow, and then spoke to the female slaves.
“Earl, we cannot go back with you.
We were bought by our master, who has been kind to us.
Moreover, the organization of the auction has contracted us to our master.
If we are not by our master’s side, we won’t be able to survive.”
The female slaves were reluctant to leave their master’s side.
“What’s going on here?” The earl was unaware that people of their Blood Clan could contract with humans.
“Earl, their contract is not as pets; it is as master and servants.
If I were to dissolve the contract, they would be unharmed, but you need to have the capacity to protect them.
If they were captured by someone else again, I cannot guarantee their survival or safety.”
Whether Lai Jianlin’s people were in his presence or not, they were unharmed; in this dangerous place, he could not leave the female slaves here, for to do so was akin to letting them be captured.
His noble clan also had shops in this place.
The female slaves could help the clan as sales staff.
Immortal Venerable City had too many powerful forces; even their top-tier noble clan was not enough to stand out, let alone the presence of the Ten Great Clans.
“Alright, we will take them back to our clan and settle them in properly.”
The earl gave Lai Jianlin a deep bow.
“Earl, we cannot go with you, nor can we bring you trouble.
One of the reasons we were captured is surely that our Blood Clan is already under someone’s control.
Taking us with you might bring disaster and endanger the people of your clan.
We trust that our master has the ability to protect us.”
“This…” The earl didn’t know what would be best to do.
They had come out to investigate only after a problem had arisen in their stockade, and even though they were still searching for their enemy, they had now taken on this trouble.
Although the slaves were people of their own kind, perhaps they lacked the ability to protect them.
“Earl, let’s stay with our master.
Staying with him may not be a bad thing.”
The female slaves had a good impression of Lai Jianlin.
He had bought them but then let them go, which showed he was a kind person.
They felt safe staying with a master like him.
“Young master, we beseech you to treat them kindly.” The earl and the viscounts paid their respects to Lai Jianlin together.
“Alright!
I will settle them.
As we have other matters to attend to, we will take our leave now,”
Lai Jianlin bade farewell to the earl and his companions.
As they left the quiet area, two silhouettes emerged from a corner.
Judging by their attire, they were men, but their slender frames did not resemble that of men at all.
“Heh, going out really is interesting.
A foreign female slave, a wealthy young master from our country…
Could there be a love story brewing?”
One dressed like a man and wearing a man’s hat spoke with a woman’s voice, which was petulantly sweet, clearly indicating she was a lady.
“Princess, it’s uncertain whether this place is safe.
Let’s leave here,”
“Right, let’s follow them.
We might witness an interesting spectacle.”
The princess was very curious about people from a foreign country and decided to follow, not Lai Jianlin and his group, but the earls and the viscounts, eager to learn how these foreign men had made their way in.
