An Lei looked at Sima Youyue as if she had been humiliated.
In other people's eyes, I'm from the Hidden Clan, so how can I be your servant?
She and Sima Youyue were seated with one of them facing the crowd while the other had her back facing the crowd. Hence, everyone could only see her expression and not Sima Youyue's face.
"Sima Youyue, don't go overboard. No matter what, she came from the Hidden Clan. How can she be your maidservant? "Shui 'er cried out.
Wouldn't this make it seem like she was the same as her young miss?
That would be too degrading to the Young Miss' status!
Sima Youyue turned around to look at Shui 'er and said, "According to what you're saying, you're planning to help her pay back the seven hundred thousand high grade crystals?"
"How is that possible?!" Not to mention the fact that she didn't have that many crystals, even if she did, she wouldn't help An Lei return the money!
"Since you're not returning it, who's willing to return it for her?" Sima Youyue looked around and everyone from the Donglai family took a step back.
They were just maidservants and guards. How could they have so much spare money to help someone who had betrayed the Eastern Lai Clan?
Yes, even though An Lei left under such circumstances, she was still a traitor in their eyes.
Sima Youyue shrugged. "Since you don't want to help her pay back the money, then I have no choice. You can't let me suffer a loss, right? Am I right, Miss Donglai? "
Her meaning was very clear. You've already agreed on this matter before, and now you're going back on your word. It's good enough that I didn't ask you for money. If you stop me from taking in more maidservants, will you compensate me for my loss?
"Since she's free now, our Eastern Lai Clan naturally won't interfere with her," the Eastern Lai Clan declared.
Anyway, she had no intention of letting An Lei and Sima Youyue go.
Although Xuan Qiu He said that Sima Youyue saved them, she did not think so. She still felt that Xuan Qiu He saved her.
Therefore, she had never treated Sima Youyue as her savior. Instead, she treated Sima Youyue as her love rival.
Rival in love? Xuan Qiu He clearly did not express his love for Sima Youyue. Sima Youyue clearly had Wu Lingyu by her side. Why did she feel that she was an eyesore?
"Did you hear that? Your mistress has no objections," Sima Youyue turned around and looked at An Lei. "So, have you thought it through? Should she sell her body to repay him or sell her body to repay him? I don't think the people taught by the Donglai Clan would go so far as to deny it, would they? "
Everyone's lips twitched. How was she giving him a choice? He clearly only gave others one path!
Her last sentence was very harsh. If she continued to deny it, it would mean that the Donglai family did not teach her well.
"I promise you! Miss. "An Lei lowered her head. It was as if she was doing all this to protect the reputation of the Eastern Lai family.
"At least you know what's good for you!" Shui 'er snorted coldly. In such a situation, he still knew how to protect the family's image.
However, she didn't expect that she would become someone else's servant after getting rid of the Donglai Clan. This was also a slap to the Donglai Clan's face.
"Since you're my servant, you'll have to be branded with my brand." Sima Youyue sent a strand of divine sense into An Lei's body. If An Lei betrayed her, it would cost her her life!
This was an inspiration she got from Eastern Lai Li. If Eastern Lai Li didn't take back the Donglai Clan's brand, she wouldn't have thought of this point. She could only let An Lei swear.
"That's good." She retracted her hand and smiled. "However, I don't know if you're worth seven hundred thousand top-grade crystals."
An Lei was silent. She didn't reply to her. She lowered her head and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Youyue, since you've settled your matters, can you come and take a look at these corpses?" Xuan Qiu He didn't rush her other than adding fuel to the fire just now.
"Wait a moment. Let me bandage her hand first," Sima Youyue said. She took out the ointment and applied it on An Lei again. Then, she wrapped the bandage around her hand.
An Lei realized that her hand felt much better after the ointment was applied. She looked at Sima Youyue suspiciously.
Sima Youyue smiled. "Of course I have to use better ones for my own people. You rest here. I'll go over there to take a look. "
An Lei realized that Sima Youyue's smile had a healing power. She nodded subconsciously.
Sima Youyue pulled Wu Lingyu to the side of the corpses and checked them one by one.
"Miss Youyue, how is it?" Xuan Qiu He asked.
"It's just as I guessed. Not only have these corpses had their blood sucked dry, the death aura on their wounds has corrosive properties." Sima Youyue said. "I don't know if it was like this in the past or if these corpses have evolved. However, one thing is for sure. The person who raised them must have spent a lot of effort. Many people must have died. I think that if you want to investigate, you can investigate from the places where many people died. Villages and cities were massacred or where many people went missing. "
"I don't think so. News from the inner regions has always spread quickly. If there was a massacre, the news should have been out long ago." Xuan Qiu He said.
"That's right. Do you really know what's going on? You're not spouting nonsense, right? "Shui Er scoffed.
Sima Youyue ignored her and said, "If there weren't many deaths, then this matter would be even more troublesome."
"What do you mean?" Xuan Qiu He could feel the seriousness in her words. He couldn't help but sit up straight.
"It's certain that they are using human blood to nourish these corpses. If there's a massacre in the city, it's very easy for big forces like you to find clues. However, I think that the most likely situation now is that there are scattered people going missing in the inner regions. You won't be able to find anything even if you want to. "
Everyone was silent. She was right. If there was a massacre, it wouldn't be difficult to find anything. However, if there were only a few dozen or a few hundred people going missing, no one would notice. Because this kind of situation was too common in the continent where martial arts were respected.
"Tsk, you said that you know if it's true." Shui Er scoffed, "If it's true, then why didn't they turn into skeletons like An Lei?"
The others had the same question too.
"That's because they're already dead. Death aura only affects living people. "Sima Youyue explained.
"Send a message back to the clan. Let them arrange for their subordinates to investigate." Xuan Qiu He instructed.
"Since He said so, then let's send a message back to the clan." Eastern Lai Li said, "Fourth Uncle, we'll have to trouble you with this."
Eastern Lai He nodded and went to the side to send a message to the clan.
"Do you still want to look at these corpses? If you don't, then burn them. There's death aura on them. We can only burn them. "Sima Youyue said.
"I don't want to look at them. Burn them." Eastern Lai Li frowned in disgust.
