"Master Yan's 'Demon Reversal Reincarnation Technique' is about to be completed, and I will soon become a master of the Tongxuan realm. How can I wade into the muddy waters of these two dogs at this time?"
Thinking of this, Jinghui lowered his head with a respectful look and said hesitantly: "Reporting to the young master, I only take care of the horses every day and dare not neglect them. I dare not look at the horses of the master's family too much, so... I don't know what's wrong... I hope the young master will forgive me."
Chu Tianxiao laughed in his heart. He had known that this person would give this answer. His so-called "asking about horses" was, firstly, to divert Jinghui's attention, and secondly, to confirm again - the true prince of Xiaonuliu usually raises more horses...
"Haha, it's okay..." Chu Tianxiao continued to laugh in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said, "Jinghui, I see that you are nimble and have a sharp eye. It's a pity for you to feed horses under Chu He. I wonder if you are interested in working for me? As long as you do a good job, I can get you out of slavery and become a real member of the Chu family!"
After hearing this, Jinghui was stunned for a moment, and then he knelt on the ground as if he was flattered: "Little, I am willing to serve the young master. The young master's kindness is as great as a mountain. I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"
He spoke these words so excitedly that the three villains nearby just laughed and shook their heads, whispering to each other.
"A slave is a slave... Look at how ugly he is!"
"Haha, consider him lucky. His ancestors have been slaves for generations, and now he sees hope of escaping slavery in the short term. It's nothing for him to be so excited."
Chu Tianxiao watched this scene, but thought to himself: It's too fake... It's too fake... Do you think I can't see the sneer of ridicule and the contemptuous look on your face from this angle? You are still grateful and willing to go through fire and water... You are probably laughing at the stupidity and gullibility of this "so-called young master" in your heart, right
"My dear Prince Charming, don't think that you are the ones playing tricks on others in all the scripts!" Chu Tianxiao thought with such evil humor, "How dare you play tricks on me, the prodigal son? You are just asking for revenge!"
With the evil intention of playing a trick on his true love, Chu Tianxiao showed a relieved expression on his face, nodded and said: "Very good, then you sign this contract. From now on, you will be transferred to my command. Remember to work hard and don't be lazy. Only in this way can you get rid of your status as a slave as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
The moment he finished speaking, Chu Tianxiao could see Jinghui's body tremble slightly, his fists clenched tightly, and a hint of murderous aura immediately emanated from his body, as if he was about to stand up and cut off Chu Tianxiao's head with a sword, and then shouted loudly, "I, Jinghui, would rather be a beggar than a slave!", and then broke out of the encirclement of the Chu family's masters and left...
Well... wishful thinking.
Although Jinghui wanted to do so very much, he knew that with his current strength, let alone killing Chu Tianxiao, he couldn't even break through the blockade of him and the people in front of him and kill him!
"Damn it! Chu family! Chu family! You all boss me around, and you all want to make me your slave. You all deserve to die!"
"Back then, I had already shown my talent in martial arts and was admired by the steward. But just because that bastard Master Chu He didn't like me and said, 'A little slave shouldn't learn martial arts,' he threw me into the abyss! From then on, I could only learn by stealing, exploring on my own, and moving forward step by step!"
"But! How many resources can a slave have? I have been practicing hard for many years, but my progress is very slow. I can't even compare to the ordinary children of the Chu family!"
"I hate it! If I wasn't a slave, I would have mastered peerless martial arts and unparalleled Taoism, and would have dominated the world and become the overlord of China! How could I have been doing rough work all day for more than ten years, being ordered around by you young masters, with no way to make a breakthrough!"
"I hate it! I hate it! Your Chu family has failed me. None of you Chu family members are good people! It's you who have prevented me from making a breakthrough. It's you who have restricted my resources! It's you who have delayed my bright future! You all deserve to die!"
"The way of heaven is so unfair. It allows rich young men like you to live a life of luxury and have unlimited resources, especially you, Chu Tianxiao! Prodigals like you can squander money without restraint! And what about me? I can only hide in a cold corner, secretly learning martial arts and alchemy! I have to rely on stealing for everything! Why don't you give me your things? Why do you keep delaying my future again and again!"
"What a pity! You young masters will never imagine that a small servant like me has now been blessed. As long as I continue to flatter you for a while, I will be able to transform into a soaring dragon and roar into the sky! Just wait, when that time comes, no one in the Chu family who has delayed me for more than ten years will survive! And you so-called 'young masters', so-called rich kids, hum... I will let you see with your own eyes that it is the little slave you have always disdained who will destroy the Chu family, and it is the little slave who let you take whatever you want back then who will make you wish you were dead but unable to live!"
Jinghui screamed madly in his heart, but he forced himself to show an ecstatic expression on his face, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Young Patriarch! Thank you, Young Patriarch!"
But in his heart he thought: I will let you, the prodigal, live for two more days. After tomorrow night, I will kill you like a dog. Then, it will be your turn to kowtow to me! I will first give you a whip, then give you silver, and humiliate you thoroughly!
As for the fact that Chu Tianxiao had no grudge against him and seemed to be willing to help him escape from slavery... and other favors, he selectively ignored them. In his eyes, the Chu family that had delayed him for more than ten years did not have any good people at all. Everyone with the surname Chu deserved to die. He would accept their favors as he deserved, but would write down all the punishments he received, waiting to kill the whole family one day when he would rise to prominence!
He thought he had hidden his thoughts very well, but he didn't know that with his acting skills developed from more than ten years of life as a slave, in Chu Tianxiao's eyes, there were flaws everywhere!
In response, Chu Tianxiao sneered.
"Just as I expected... Although he is the prince charming, he is also an ungrateful person who can never be tamed, a useless person who only knows how to complain."
"From your expression, do you hate being a slave? Do you think 'I'd rather be a beggar than a slave'? But you know that the slavery that has been passed down to your generation is not unsolvable. If you are willing to work hard and do things in a down-to-earth manner, then according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you could have paid off your debts and escaped from slavery five years ago. By then, you would have been able to go anywhere in the world. But now, you actually hate all the Chu family members. From the look in your eyes... Are you not going to stop until you kill all the people with the surname Chu?"
"childish!"
Chu Tianxiao sneered in his heart: "But it's okay this way. If you had a face full of gratitude, I would have been reluctant to do it..."
With this in mind, Chu Tianxiao waved his hand, took out a contract, and handed it to Mu Liuling. At a glance, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of confusion when she looked at Chu Tianxiao...
Although he was puzzled, Mu Liuling did not question it. Instead, he picked up the contract and slowly walked to the front of Jinghui, saying, "If there is no problem, please sign this contract..."
"Don't forget to sign your name." Chu Tianxiao said slowly, "You'll be a temporary servant first, and then you'll be a regular servant if you perform well... Well, it's just that I'm short of people around me, otherwise how could I..."
The sentence was not finished, but the meaning was still self-evident to Jinghui's ears, which immediately made him, a man who was determined not to be a slave, even more angry. But after he read what was shown on the contract, he realized... he was angry too early.
See...
"Contract Clause 1: From now on, all treasures and opportunities obtained by Jinghui must be handed over to Chu Tianxiao. If anyone dares to conceal them, he will be killed without mercy!"
"Contract Clause 2: Jinghui's monthly salary is one thousand spirit coins."
"Contract Clause 3: At critical moments, Jinghui must put Chu Tianxiao's interests first and obey his orders..."
If Jinghui looked carefully, he would definitely find something wrong with the terms of the contract - the three words "Chu Tianxiao" were too direct, and it would be more reasonable to change them to "young master of the family" or "family" - but at the moment he was in an unstable state of mind, and he was furious the moment he saw the contract. How could he have the mood to think about anything else
"Liuling, keep an eye on this man. Be careful of him tearing up the contract and be careful of him getting violent."
Chu Tianxiao transmitted his true energy while secretly concentrating on his guard. Hearing this, Mu Liuling immediately realized that there must be something fishy going on. He immediately focused his attention and said, "Jinghui, are you willing to sign?"
“… Damn it, how dare this prodigal son humiliate me like this? It’s ok to hand over the resources, but he only gets one thousand spirit coins a month? It’s a world of difference compared to this lackey named Mu Liuling in front of me! Am I Jinghui so worthless? Wait! Wait! I will definitely take out your heart and lungs and eat them all!”
“It’s just…” Jinghui was furious, but he didn’t completely lose his mind. He had been patient for more than ten years and thought he was a shrewd man. He thought again, “I have already kowtowed just now. If I regret it now, I will definitely anger this prodigal son… Master Yan’s ‘Reverse Demon Reincarnation Technique’ is coming to an end. I will be patient for a while. Anyway, this contract does not immediately harm my interests, and… it’s just a piece of paper. When I have the strength, these are all bullshit!”
"I'll just have to endure this loser's anger one more time!"
Thinking of this, Jinghui showed a "joyful" expression and kowtowed, "I am willing! Please calm down, I was too happy just now, I really didn't expect that the young master would offer such a "generous" treatment, I will "break my bones to pieces" and think about "repaying" the young master every day!"
"Hehe..." Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao seemed not to understand the hidden meaning, so he waved his hand and let Mu Liuling preside over the matter, letting the little slave Jinghui sign the contract and put his seal on it...
At this moment, a golden light flew out from his mind, landed on Chu Tianxiao's palm and disappeared - of course, this scene could not be seen by others. Even Jinghui only frowned, feeling as if there was a heavy burden in his heart...
"It's done!"
Chu Tianxiao smiled.
"The temporary contract has been signed, and I've got my lucky number! It's finally time to collect the interest..."
"No... maybe, I'll catch a bunch of treasure..."
Chu Tianxiao glanced at the sketch with the words "Fenglong Riverbank" written on it, and his eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking...
