The warmth in Feng Yegeās eyes grew deeper: āIn a while, Iāll get Feng Shier to pretend to be a rich businessman and buy the two items. You donāt have to appear. Hereās an outfit to change into and a new mask. If thereās anything you want to buy, just bid on it.ā
Lou Qingwu turned around and saw a pale purple long gown displayed.
It was a simple style but the material was made of sky silk.
Soft, gentle and smooth to touch, it really was the top of its cla.s.s.
She nodded, āIāll just look around casually.ā
Li Yuanās sudden appearance couldnāt have been a coincidence and thinking back about when sheād first entered the black market as well as when Feng Yege departed, he probably left because of Li Yuan.
Seeing as how they probably had something to discuss, sheād take the opportunity to first take a look at this fabled black market.
She took down the purple hairpin from her hair and pa.s.sed it back to Feng Yege, āHere, Iām giving it back to you.ā
Something in Feng Yegeās eyes flashed past, āIf I gave it to you, then itās yours.ā
āSenior brother, there should be no rewards for no work.ā Furthermore, this jade hairpin made her feel like there was some other meaning to it.
When she held it in her hands, the pure and translucent purple, was like the warm purple that flowed in his eyes when he wasnāt hiding them.
It was too beautiful, so she didnāt want to take it.
Feng Yege didnāt take it, āThen, Iāll temporarily leave it with you.ā
āBut ā¦ā
āYour senior brotherās a big man so even if I take it, Iāll have no use for it. What? Youāre treating your senior brother like an outsider?ā
Lou Qingwu wanted to say something else but she didnāt know how to reject him.
She lowered her eyes and took it, āOkay, then Iāll temporarily take care of it for you.ā
Up until Lou Qingwu left, did Li Yuan finally enter from the side room.
When he saw Feng Yege still staring in the direction that the girl left, he casually pulled a chair next to him and sat down.
He devilishly spoke, āWhy do I feel like you still havenāt gotten her yet?ā
Feng Yege took back his gaze and looked at him coldly but didnāt reply.
Li Yuanās jaw was about to drop.
āNo way! You still havenāt gotten her? No way, just based on your looks,ā He clicked his tongue, āItās already been so many years. Sheās that hard to get?ā
āYou should first take care of yourself.ā Feng Yege narrowed his eyes dangerously, his eyes falling on Li Yuanās sausage-like lips.
Li Yuan looked at him bitterly, āSeeing a female and forgetting your friends.ā
āEn? You have an opinion?ā
āNone! Definitely donāt!ā
Li Yuan shook his head furiously.
How could he dare say yes?
If he ruined his affairs, heād have to pick up and carry his head in the future.
However ā¦
He actually placed that symbolic purple hairpin to that girl, the one that held another meaning.
Isnāt that too fast and thoughtless?
Obviously, he didnāt say it out loud.
They were all adults and he, of them all, was the best and brightest.
Even though no one could see through him, itās not like they hadnāt thought of their own paths.
On the other side, Lou Qingwu walked through a secret pa.s.sage from the second floor back to the first floor and all the way to the entrance.
Only this time, there was Feng Shiyi behind her.
āYou can do your own thing.ā
Feng Shiyi wore all black with a black mask that nearly covered his whole face, only revealing a pair of dark and sunken eyes.
Hearing Lou Qingwuās words, he respectfully stood straight and shook his head.
Lou Qingwu soundlessly rubbed her forehead.
Whatever, sheād just let him follow.
She followed the long and meandering path forward.
Every now and then, thereād be a server and in another few steps, thereād be another entrance followed by another.
Each held a sign that represented its meaning.
In the end, Lou Qingwu stopped at the entrance to the āSlaves camp centre.ā
āThese are some slaves offered up by three countries. Theyāll be sold as part of the auction.ā
Feng Shiyi thought she was interested and helpfully explained to her.
āBut these are all low cla.s.sed slaves, most of them will be sent to serve ā¦ ah, in some places that canāt be seen in public.ā
āAh? Canāt be seen in public?ā
āThat is, a teaching department.ā Feng Shiyi felt awkward explaining this to a small girl.
But because he was wearing a mask, she couldnāt see his expressions.
Lou Qingwu froze, teaching department?
The department thatās purpose made for teaching dancer girls, singing girls and even ā¦
