The slave market had many slaves. The myriad choices would dazzle most people. Lou Qianxue and Lou Potian, based on their judgment, chose a dozen muscular guards and a female chef.
âWeâll just select a butler, and that should be enough.â
Lou Potian was quite satisfied with this trip.
âYes.â Lou Qianxue nodded. âJust now, I heard that someoneâs auctioning slaves in front. Shall we go and take a look?â
âSure. These slaves must be quite capable if theyâre being auctioned.â
Lou Qianxue and Lou Potian walked forward and saw a tall platform. A crowd had gathered underneath it.
âHu Laosan has sold slaves many times. Why did he commit such a mistake this time? Is he trying to ruin his own reputation?â
âThatâs right. We can just casually gather a group of people and claim that theyâre from the Moonlight Clan. How can the members of the Moonlight Clan be auctioned in such a place? Wouldnât they have already been sent to the auction house to be auctioned off as precious items?â
âExactly! I really donât know what heâs thinking...â
âMoonlight Clan?â Lou Potianâs eyes flashed with surprise. âThe legendary clan whose members are extraordinarily beautiful, regardless of their gender?â
âMaybe.â Lou Qianxue looked at the stage and saw more than ten thin, frail young men and women in ragged clothes standing there, shivering.
âJudging from their looks, they seem ordinary. They donât look like theyâre from the Moonlight Clan,â Lou Potian concluded after taking a few glances at them.
However, Lou Qianxue frowned and remained silent.
Everyone sighed as they looked at the young men and women on the stage. âItâs a good thing that theyâre not from the Moonlight Clan. Otherwise, weâd be in trouble.â
The members of the Moonlight Clan were mysterious and hard to find. They were extremely beautiful, and every time one of them was discovered, they would be treated as toys...
âEveryone, listen to me. These people are all genuine members of the Moonlight Clan. They havenât grown up yet, so their beauty isnât obvious. In a few years, when they grow up, theyâll definitely become drop-dead gorgeous beauties. To be honest, if I, Hu Laosan, werenât poor now, I wouldnât be willing to sell them.â
âTsk! Hu Laosan, why arenât you selling the true members of the Moonlight Clan at the auction house? Are you trying to trick us here? A child can only be sold for thirty thousand taels at most. You want a million taels for them? Do you think weâre all fools?â
Hu Laosan bitterly smiled. âThe auction house also thinks that they look too ordinary to be from the Moonlight Clan. Everyone, Iâve been doing business for such a long time. You should know that I never lie. If you canât afford a million taels, five hundred thousand is fine too. If you canât afford all of them, buying one back wonât be a loss.â
Lou Potian took a few glances and sighed. He said to Lou Qianxue, âLetâs go.â
âGrandpa.â Lou Qianxue looked at Lou Potian. âLetâs buy them.â
âHuh? Youâre interested? Okay, then. But a kid here is worth tens of thousands at most. Itâs not worth half a millionââ
âItâs fine. Moreover...â Lou Qianxue looked at the young men and women again. âThey are from the actual Moonlight Clan.â
Lou Potian sucked in a breath of cold air. He had yet to come back to his senses when...
âFive hundred thousand tales each. I want them all,â Lou Qianxue said with a calm expression.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Whoosh!
These words shocked everyone, and they looked at Lou Qianxue in unison.
âIs this young lady stupid because she is rich?â
âSheâs actually buying all of them...â
âFive hundred thousand taels for one! There are eighteen of them; thatâs nine million taels! Sheâs spending almost ten million taels just to buy a few skinny, small children. Is something wrong with her brain?â
