”Alright!” Boss Awesomo's spirits were lifted as he said, ”Since a chivalrous person is straightforward, I, a certain someone, will not make a ridiculous offer. This lady, you, Leftie Heroic Assassin, will pay 10 gold coins to take her away. ”
”Alright!” Zuo Ye took out 10 gold coins from his pocket and threw it to the boss.
After the boss received the gold coins, he used his teeth to confirm if they were real or fake. After confirming that there were no flaws, he put the gold coins away and smilingly said, ”Alright! ”Go and bring them out.”
The two warriors immediately opened the door of the cell and pulled out the frightened little girl, placing her in front of Zuo Ye. The little girl's eyes were red and swollen, but it was still very lovable.
On the continent, basically all the slaves were branded. This way, even if the slave escaped the owner's control, his master would be able to capture all the slaves on the continent through the number branded. Moreover, if the branded slaves were to travel to all parts of the continent, without a master leading them, they would be captured.
”No need,” Zuo Ye said. ”That's good.”
”Don't worry, Leftie. We won't brand her face. Such a pretty girl, it would be bad if she was branded on her forehead. Usually, we will brand her on the shoulder. After all, without such a brand, her status as a slave doesn't exist. Once she escapes, it will be troublesome.”
”No need,” Zuo Ye refused Boss Niu's good intentions and said, ”I've already paid for it. Can you take her away now?”
”Sure, I'll bring the chivalrous warriors to register a bit,” said Boss Ox.
Zuo Ye went to register with Boss Ox, and after he had registered with Boss Ox, Boss Ox handed a sheepskin scroll to Zuo Ye and said, ”Swordsman, this is her indenture contract. You must keep it well. Furthermore, she does not have a brand on her body. Once she escapes, it will be difficult to track her down.
”I appreciate Boss Ox's kindness,” Zuo Ye said. ”But I don't want to brand her with a brand.”
”If that's the case, then we'll follow Zuo Ye's intentions,” Boss Ox said. ”Oh right, Zuo Ye can go to the Magic Beast District. We only had a few new Magic Beasts here yesterday.”
”Roar!” Perhaps because it had understood Boss Ox's words, the little black dog let out a dissatisfied growl.
Zuo Ye patted the little black dog on its head and said, ”Boss Niu, do you think I need any other magical beasts?”
”Yes,” said Zuo Ye.
”Hehe!” We had a total of twenty magical beast cubs yesterday, ”the owner said.” A dozen of them are pets for ladies, a few second or third grade cubs, but there's also the cub of a Class 5 Magical Beast, the Whirlwind Wolf.
”Hehe!” ”Since you don't want to buy a left-wing swordsman, then forget it,” Boss Ox said. ”But in the future, you're welcome to come often.”
”I'll come if I have to,” Zuo Ye said. ”Let's call it a day, I think it's getting late, and it's time for me to go back.”
”Since that's the case, please take care, Leftie Heroic Assassin,” Boss Ox said.
”Farewell!” After Zuo Ye finished speaking, he put away the sheepskin scroll, then held the hand of the little girl who was still in a state of panic and confusion, and walked out of the courtyard.
After arriving on the street of the black market, Zuo Ye waved for a big car and then directly pulled Jing back to the hotel.
All along the way, the little girl was in a state of fear.
After arriving at the inn, Zuo Ye found another room and arranged for Jing to stay there.
”What's your name?” Zuo Ye asked the little girl in the hotel room.
”My … my name is Su Ling'Er,” the little girl said timidly.
”En, my name is Zuo Ye, from now on you can call me Zuo Ye big brother,” Zuo Ye said. ”In my place, you only need to teach me how to read.”
”Master, can I beg you to save my sister?” Su Ling'Er suddenly knelt in front of Zuo Ye and said with tears flowing out of her eyes.
Zuo Ye jumped in shock and hurriedly helped Su Ling'er up. Seeing that Su Ling'er was still crying, Zuo Ye could only say, ”You're not allowed to cry. If you continue to cry, I won't help you.”
Zuo Ye's heart softened when Su Ling'er's pitiful gaze fell on him. He sighed and said, ”Alright! I heard from the boss that your sister was bought by the Jade Pavilion, let's go there to take a look. ”
”Thank you, Master!” Seeing that Zuo Ye had agreed, Su Ling'er immediately knelt down and was about to kowtow.
”What are you doing?” Zuo Ye hurriedly lifted Su Ling'Er up and said, ”From now on, you're not allowed to kneel down randomly, or else I won't go and save your sister.”
”Don't kneel!” Not kneeling! ”Master, you must save my sister, I beg you …”
”As long as you listen to me obediently, I will save your sister,” Zuo Ye said.
”Yes.” ”Ling Er, be obedient. Ling Er will listen to whatever master says,” Su Ling'er hurriedly said.
”Alright. In the future, you are not allowed to call me master. You can call me Big Brother Zuo Ye, ”Zuo Ye said.
”Yes, Lord … oh, Big Brother Zuo,” Su Ling'er said.
