"No need to thank you, I just think you are very powerful and I don't want you to die like this."
Bai Ye told the truth. When she escaped, she was able to command her whip accurately. In the end, not even a bit of skin fell off her body, and she was unscathed. Her eyes were so amazing!
When the girl was praised, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly: "Where are you going, Master? Is there anyone who needs my help?"
"I'm going to Tianzong Medicine Store now. Does the girl know the way there?"
"My name is Mulanting. Young Master, please call me Lanting." The girl nodded and continued: "Tianzong is very famous here. Come with me and I will take you there."
Bai Ye followed her, and the two chatted as they walked.
"Miss Lanting, what have you done? Those people are going to kill you in the clear day?" Bai Ye couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"This..." Mulanting was a little embarrassed to say.
Seeing her troubled expression, Bai Ye felt that he had been rude: "I'm sorry to make things difficult for you. Just forget it's inconvenient. Please forgive me for being rude."
"No, no," Mulanting waved his hands hurriedly: "That's not what I meant, but I'm afraid that after I say it, you won't be willing to say another word to me, so I think it's better to wait until I send you to Tianzong. I’ll tell you again.”
"You are a descendant of slaves." Bai Ye blurted out, his voice was affirmative, but his expression did not show any disdain, as if he was just describing a very common thing.
Mulanting stopped where he was, and Bai Ye also stopped, turned around and waved to her, gesturing for her to follow.
Knowing that she did not dislike his identity, Mulanting followed her again and asked with confusion on her face: "How did you know?"
Bai Ye rubbed the little chinchilla who was sleeping silently in her arms and met her clear eyes.
"Although I am an outsider, I have also learned that Luwang Square was a slave fighting ground a long time ago. Even though slave fighting is banned now, the people who move around there are basically the descendants of slaves, so those people dare to act unscrupulously there. Shooting arrows on the ground can hurt people, and the way you were dressed just now was... haha, you know, it was too sloppy."
Seeing her smile, Mulanting also laughed.
The young master Bai in front of him did not look down on her like the others. After knowing her identity, he was willing to go with her and talk and laugh. This made Mulanting, who grew up under the contemptuous gaze, very happy.
"Actually, I didn't do anything. Those people suddenly snatched me away from Luwang Square and went to see a young lady from a noble family. The young lady said that she couldn't have children and said that I... uh... said that I looked fertile. Let me be a surrogate."
"What?" Bai Ye looked stern after hearing this: "Even if you agree to give birth to a child for her husband, you won't survive. If you escape, you will die. If you don't escape, you will still die. Why can a noble take human life so seriously? Surrogacy? Pregnant on behalf of her uncle!"
Bai Ye almost growled the last few words, which made Lie in his arms widen his eyes in fear, Huh? What is this woman angry about?
Mulanting felt that Bai Ye was a chivalrous hero, and those words particularly touched her.
Bai Ye thought for a while, then stopped suddenly, looked at Mulanting, and asked, "Do you have any relatives at home?"
Mulanting shook his head in despair: "It's gone a long time ago. I started working alone near Luwang Square to make a living when I was nine years old. It was also because of these eyes that I avoided many disasters."
