Lou Qingwu looked past the bidders and at the young girl on the sage.
She wore a long floor length red gown that revealed her long and slender body, her limbs were thin as her aura was graceful and refined.
She was completely different from the other girls who had been sold previously.
Her head was held high up, her face covered with a veil that only revealed a pair of beautiful eyes.
Her eyes were lofty and proud, cold and inviolable.
Her hands were tied behind her back.
She was young, but her aura was so cold.
Even though Lou Qingwu was quite far away, she could still feel it.
She stared dazedly at the young girl on the stage, her mind a blank.
So this was what a young Lan Bai looked like.
Who knew that before the years had pressured her, the bleakness of the world had beat down on her, Lan Bai was so beautiful and bright.
At this time, she was like a pearl that hadnāt been unearthed, so dazzling to the eye that even she couldnāt bear to move her eyes away.
She lifted up a hand to cover her eyes.
When she opened them again, the brightness was one that even Feng Shiyi, who was by her side, couldnāt ignore.
Heād followed Miss Lou for so long, but this was the first time that sheād revealed her expressions so clearly.
He couldnāt help but look at the girl on the stage again.
Even though she was quite attractive, she was just an ordinary female slave, what was making Miss Lou so moved? To the point of impacting her emotions this strongly?
āMiss?ā
Feng Shiyi spoke as a reminder, they should be heading back soon.
At this time, master and gentleman Li should be finishing up and his masterās probably anxious.
Lou Qingwu responded with a sound but her eyes never moved away from the stage.
She walked slowly to the front, her ears filled with the sounds of men bidding loudly.
Ten taels, a hundred taels, a thousand taels ā¦.
Lan Baiās price kept going higher up until 3200 taels and then, no one went any higher.
At this time, Lou Qingwu stood at the bottom of the stage.
The host also froze at Lou Qingwuās actions and couldnāt help but ask, āThis miss, you are?ā
Lou Qingwu didnāt look at her, she just stared fixedly at Lan Bai.
She lifted up her feet and stepped on the steps, until she stood in front of the girl.
She placed a wad of silver banknotes on the host'sā chest.
Her voice was light, āTen thousand taels.ā
Just as she spoke, everyone at the auction couldnāt help but suck in a cold breath.
To use ten thousand taels to buy a female slave, who was this miss?
Was she insane?
Lou Qingwu ignored the eyes behind her and only calmly looked at the girl in front.
Their two figures were quite similar.
At this time, Lan Bai was probably around 13-14 years old, only a year younger than her.
But when she saw her in her last life time, she only appeared much more mature because of the changes that her hard years had pressed on her body.
āYou, are you willing to leave with me?ā
Lou Qingwuās voice was very light, her voice bringing about a sense of warmth that couldnāt be understood.
The girl who stood proudly, used her beautiful eyes to finally fall on Lou Qingwu.
Her red lips underneath the veil pursed as she swept her eyes at the hungrily watching men underneath, and then back to the girl in front of her.
Her mouth curved mockingly, āDo I have a choice?ā
Lou Qingwu laughed and let out a relieved breath, āThen follow me.ā
She wouldnāt let her suffer any more, the disappointment and despair in her last lifetime wouldnāt appear on her body this time.
The girl froze as she saw the warmth in Lou Qingwuās eyes, to the point where she was a bit dazed.
In that split second, she actually saw a type of saintly light from her body.
A light that drove away the darkness there, leading her towards the light she stood under.
On the other side, Feng Shiyi had been frightened by Lou Qingwuās voice.
Miss Lou ⦠actually bought a female slave?
How could he tell that to his master?
