The next morning.

Lu Yuan's action of getting up startled the embroiderer: "Sir..."

The voice is weak.

"It's okay, you don't have to get up today and have a good rest." Lu Yuan held the embroiderer's shoulders and let her lie down obediently.

Then walk out of the room.

Beside the pond in the yard.

An orange-red flame rose from the palm of Yan Lingji's hand.

The dancing flames were like a lively elf, and Yan Lingji waved her hands forward.

The raging flames struck the pond, much of the water evaporated, and mist filled the air.

Looking at the effect caused by the flames, Yan Lingji smiled with satisfaction.

Lu Yuan walked behind Yan Lingji and said, "It seems that your internal strength has begun to recover."

As expected of someone born with the ability to manipulate flames, not to mention the power, even the people in the Yin-Yang Family's Fire Department cannot compare to his control over flames.

Maybe you can choose this fire spirit tonight.

"I have to thank Mr. Lu Yuan for providing me with a quiet place to recuperate." Yan Lingji turned around and stared at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes, as if she was not surprised at his arrival at all.

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning." Lu Yuan walked past Yan Lingji without paying any attention.

Yan Lingji asked: "Master Lu Yuan, are you going out?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will escape while you are away?"

"Sister Xiu Niang won't be able to stop me by herself when the time comes."

"Who said you're not allowed to leave?"

"Don't worry! No one here will restrict your freedom." Lu Yuan's voice came from outside the door until it disappeared completely.

Yan Lingji withdrew her gaze with a complicated expression.

In fact, she had always been wary of Lu Yuan rescuing her.

Why would Lu Yuan help her when they didn't even know each other?

From the very beginning, she had all kinds of suspicions in her heart. She guessed that Lu Yuan might be coveting her beauty, or he wanted to deal with the remaining companions of Baiyue, or maybe Lu Yuan was a torture trick performed by Ji Wuye's men from the beginning.

However, after repeated tests, Lu Yuan's reactions were always indifferent, which made Yan Lingji wonder if she had become uglier.

I really can't figure out what Lu Yuan is thinking.

Looking at the unguarded door, Yan Lingji finally did not go out and turned to walk towards her room.

His strength has not yet fully recovered, and Ji Wuye's men are looking for him outside again.

This is undoubtedly the safest place for her to recover her martial arts.

Scorpion Gate Headquarters.

The Poison Scorpion brought Lu Yuan to a basement, where many children were imprisoned in dark and damp rooms that looked like prison cells.

There are men and women.

The two came to the innermost cell, which was filled with little girls with excellent looks.

There were less than ten of them, and one of them had a head of pink and purple hair that was very eye-catching.

The scorpion followed Lu Yuan's gaze and said, "This guest's vision is indeed extraordinary."

"We spent a lot of effort to collect this little girl from somewhere else."

"She was born with unusual hair. In terms of appearance, she is the best in this batch. If a customer likes her, she can be taken away for only ten gold coins."

"Don't worry, what are the prices for the others besides her?" Lu Yuan didn't rush to answer.

The scorpion's face lit up with joy, thinking he had met a big customer, and he introduced the goods more enthusiastically: "These goods are divided into first, second and third grades."

"The price of first-class rank ranges from three to ten gold coins."

"The second class is slightly inferior, ranging from 50 to 100 knife coins (one gold coin)."

"The uniform price for third-class goods is 30 knife coins."

Such a price is quite expensive. You have to know that in today's era, one knife coin can be exchanged for 20 to 30 kilograms of corn.

"If the customer wants more, I can discount the price by 1% to 2%." Seeing that Lu Yuan was silent, Poison Scorpion thought that Lu Yuan was worried about the price and pretended to be reluctant to sell.

Lu Yuan shook his head: "Money is not a problem."

"But buying and selling people seems to be against the law. If I buy these people back, will there be soldiers coming to investigate me?"

"Master Scorpion should also know that I am just a businessman."

"Please rest assured, sir. I am not afraid to tell you that the person standing behind us is General Ji Wuye!"

"Who dares to investigate when the general is here?"

"Besides, you are not the only one who comes here. How many civil and military officials in the court are not guests of our Poison Scorpion Sect?"

"Officials love this kind of child very much."

"If they really want to investigate, let them investigate themselves first?" Hearing the word "law", Poison Scorpion looked down on it.

From an angle that the poisonous scorpion could not see, a trace of indifference and murderous intent flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes: "Then I feel relieved!"

He came to the Scorpion Gate today just to get some money to spend, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

As soon as I walked in, I was treated as a customer who came to buy "things".

Buying and selling children is an unforgivable crime even in this day and age, but such evil deeds are carried out openly in Sinjeong, the capital of South Korea.

This is a royal capital, it's really ironic and ridiculous.

And from the tone of voice, many civil and military officials in the court often come here to patronize.

Poison Scorpion said that these children were orphans collected from all over the country, but that may not be the true situation.

At least half of them were trafficked or even robbed.

The scorpion was delighted, thinking that the deal was done: "Please follow me over there to pay."

puff!

But just as he turned around, he heard the sound of flesh being cut and felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

He lowered his head and felt a purple blade pierce through his chest. He looked up at Lu Yuan in disbelief: "You... the general will not let you go!"

"So much nonsense! It's no pity that you all die!" Lu Yuan was really angry this time.

People are bought and sold like animals to satisfy officials' disgusting fetishes.

I don’t know how many children were tortured to death in this process!

How many children are living in hell?

With such shady behavior, Lu Yuan didn't believe that these bought and sold children could live like human beings.

"Boss!"

"Damn it, he actually killed the boss. We must not let him leave here together."

"..."

The poisonous scorpion fell to the ground, and blood covered the surrounding ground before the other members of the poisonous scorpion sect reacted.

They took out their weapons and attacked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan raised his right hand calmly, and a stream of water wrapped around his arm.

The next moment, it spread out suddenly.

Drops of water shot out like bullets.

Wanchuan Qiu Shui is a top-level Qi-refining technique, a unique Taoist skill. Practicing this technique can enable one to control the true Qi to an extremely detailed level.

Very within reach.

It can be combined with almost any martial arts that Lu Yuan has learned to produce a stronger effect.

As soon as these assassins from the Poison Scorpion Sect got within three feet of Lu Yuan, they were pierced through the forehead and died.

There were more than a dozen corpses around Lu Yuan.

"Monster!" A thought unconsciously appeared in the minds of the remaining people.

Their hearts and minds were broken, they had lost all their courage, and they all fled towards the door.

But Lu Yuan is faster.

The figure flashed and disappeared in an instant, and within a few breaths, no one from the Poison Scorpion Sect was left alive.
