After two lifetimes, Xie Qingli visited a pawnshop for the first time. Those waiting to be sold had eyes full of resentment, numb expressions, and hopeful faces, just like the various aspects of life.

Walking all the way to the end, Xie Qingli didn't see anyone he liked. When he was about to apologize to the manager, an interesting person came into his sight.

The man's hair was disheveled and his face was unclear. He lay on his back, his arms folded under his head, his legs crossed, as if he were lying on his bed at home. However, his crossed legs were tied to a thick iron chain, the other end of which was tied to a thick pillar nearby.

Xie Qingli wanted to get a closer look and took a step forward, but the steward quickly held out his hand to stop him: "Sir, please stay. This person is extremely dangerous. Be careful not to get hurt by him. Why don't you look back at the others? You will definitely find someone who suits your taste."

"Why is he locked up?" Xie Qingli was a little curious.

"Oh, it's really infuriating. Once, a customer just said I was ugly, and he suddenly flew up and slapped the customer. The customer lost two teeth, but he refused to give in. I spent a lot of money to settle the matter."

"That's when I realized he was skilled in martial arts, so I had no choice but to lock him up. He's been here for over a year now, and no one has dared to buy him."

The man heard the voice and slowly turned to look at Xie Qingli and the others. He brushed his hair away from his face, as if deliberately revealing his face. There was a scar on his left cheek that was like a venomous snake, winding and circling, ferocious and terrifying.

When Xie Qingli saw the face clearly, she almost screamed out loud. She had seen this person in her previous life!

This man's scar is unique and terrifying, making it easy to remember. His martial arts skills are very high, comparable to Xie Qingli, and he is one of the most trusted secret guards of the third prince Chu Yunyuan.

When she first met this man, Xie Qingli had already resurrected in Lu Li's body. She wanted to get close to A Niang but couldn't find a way, so she went to the Marquis' Mansion to work as a maid. She often secretly guarded outside A Niang's room at night, and happened to meet this man who came to assassinate A Niang.

In his previous life, the Third Prince was probably bewitched by Xie Qingyao and repeatedly murdered A Niang, a woman. Therefore, Xie Qingli had fought with this man many times and knew that he was an extraordinary fighter.

Judging from the current situation, could it be that in his previous life, the Third Prince took him away from the pawnshop, and he was grateful for the Third Prince's kindness, so he devotedly served the Third Prince?

The world was so strange. Since Xie Qingli had encountered this man first in this life, she would buy him no matter what. She wouldn't let that scumbag, the Third Prince, get away with it. As for whether or not to spare his life, that would depend on his performance.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Xie Qingli's lips.

The steward thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Past guests would scream in fear upon seeing this face. The steward himself had been looking at it for over a year and still often got a fright. This young man actually smiled today? He must be a normal person!

The man stared at Xie Qingli's face closely, but instead of the fear he expected, there was a smile. He was a little disappointed at first, and then became excited, like a beast seeing its prey.

The man suddenly flew towards Xie Qingli, the iron chains on his feet rattling. When he was only one step away from Xie Qingli, the chains stretched out, preventing the man from getting any closer. He pulled all his hair back, exposing his entire face, and waited for Xie Qingli's reaction.

But the man only saw the sparks of light in those beautiful eyes, like two deep springs, clear and calm, without a trace of fear.

The man became more and more courageous as he was frustrated. His face suddenly became ferocious, his tongue stuck out, and he even used both hands to pull at his eyelids, revealing his bulging eyeballs. This description made him look like a devil from hell. This should scare people, right?

Xie Qingli was stunned for a moment. The cold-blooded secret guard in his previous life who was so ruthless and murderous could actually make faces to scare people. It was so childish and cute.

"Hahaha~" Xie Qingli's smile was even brighter this time, like a blooming spring flower, illuminating every dark corner of the dental clinic.

The man stood there dumbfounded. Was he a lunatic? Ever since his face was disfigured, he had only looked in the mirror once and never looked at his face again. It took immense courage to look directly into this horrifying, ugly face.

He once had everything that ordinary people could not achieve. He was very proud of himself and lived a carefree and cynical life.

But after suffering those heart-wrenching betrayals, he felt that life was boring. The things he once pursued diligently, power, love, wealth, and even revenge, could not stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.

So he decided to go with the flow, like a fallen leaf, drifting wherever the current took him.

After ending up in this pawnshop, after the initial excitement, he began to feel bored, so he secretly made a bet that if he met someone who dared to look him in the face, he would willingly follow that person, serve that person as his master, and fight for what that person wanted.

In this way, he regained a little fun. Whenever he showed this face, the guests would scream and run away in fear. He would feel happy both physically and mentally, but also a little disappointed that the master who was worthy of him never showed up.

Today, someone actually laughed in his face? He concluded that this person was a lunatic. But lunatics are lunatics! Maybe it would be more interesting in another place. Maybe lunatics are more interesting than ordinary people.

The steward stared at Xie Qingli with shining eyes. It turned out that the young master liked this kind of thing. If the young master could get rid of this trouble today, he would be willing to go to the temple to offer a perpetual lamp to the young master.

The steward began to talk non-stop, "Sir, this man has good martial arts skills. He's more than capable of being a bodyguard to protect your safety. The only drawback is the scar on his face, but that's not a big deal. Just buy him a mask to cover it up."

"Also, he can't talk, which isn't a disadvantage; it can even be considered an advantage. People who can't talk won't reveal secrets, so it's safer to use them."

The steward liked the young master in front of him very much, but he reminded him with some hesitation: "However, this man is a fierce horse, and it is difficult for ordinary people to tame him. Therefore, you need to be cautious."

Xie Qingli said calmly and steadily: "It doesn't matter if he can't be tamed." This person is already meat on her chopping board, if he can't be tamed, he will be killed.

"What's his name?" Xie Qingli asked casually.

"He has no name, you can choose one..."

"Han Jue." The man spoke in a low voice. Han Jue was the name he gave himself. Ever since he experienced those things, his heart had become as cold as ashes, and he had no feelings or righteousness. The word Han Jue was just right for him.

The manager opened his mouth. He had always thought that this man was mute. How had he been able to hold it in for over a year?

Xie Qingli raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Han Jue, from today on, you are my servant."

A servant? Han Jue Kuji's heart was moved. The servants he had met were all smooth-talking and well-mannered. How could a face like his be suitable for public display? He should hide in the shadows as a secret guard, living his life like a rat that could not see the light of day.

However, he did not refute, but nodded expressionlessly.

The manager was overjoyed: "Young master has a good eye. This Han Jue knows martial arts, and this number..." As he spoke, he stretched out a palm.

Xie Qingli raised her eyebrows and asked, "Fifty taels?" She thought to herself that five hundred taels was also worth it.

The steward was afraid that Xie Qingli would think he was asking for too much and regret it, so he said anxiously: "How can that be! It's five taels. If you think it's too expensive, we can discuss it again."

A crack appeared on Han Jue's cold and hard expression. Is it really okay to bargain like this in front of him?

Xie Qingli was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said calmly: "Since he knows kung fu, and I just happen to be in need of a kung fu servant, then ten taels will do!"

The manager scratched his ears, thinking he had misheard. This was the first time he saw someone raising the price. This young man was really stupid and had a lot of money.

The steward quickly completed all the formalities. When he removed Han Jue's iron chain, he asked Xie Qingli considerately, "Master, do you need this iron chain?"

Xie Qingli shook his head.

Han Jue's face darkened...
