Qin Nan was only taking a quick glance, yet his attention was immediately attracted by something.
He saw three young men and a woman a few hundred zhang to his right. The robes and armors they were wearing had reached the level of ancient Dao Weapons. They were flickering with immortal glows, giving them an extraordinary appearance.
Three of them were in the Greater Success Stage of the Master Realm.
The short-haired young man leading them was in the peak Master Realm.
In front of them was a stall selling fishing rods made of Heavenly River Wood.
The stall was set up by an old man with a hunched back and a face full of wrinkles. He was only a Peerless Ruler. Beside him was a little girl of about eight or nine years old.
The little girl had an average appearance and was dressed in plain clothes. Her small hands tugged at the corner of the old man's clothes as she hid behind him. She seemed to be frightened by the people in front of her, and also seemed to be frightened by this world.
The only difference was that her eyes were faintly golden.
Normally, if someone's eyes had a different color, it meant they were born with a different color. However, strangely, the little girl's eyes did not have any ripple of eye-technique.
"A young girl with golden eyes? Could she be the one that Elder Zhou mentioned? "
Qin Nan's eyes glittered.
Zhou Xundao had once told him a secret story. In the 2050th year of the Saint Sky Calendar, the Celestial Pole List suddenly issued a mission to find a golden-eyed girl. As for the specific reason, no one knew until now.
Zhou Di only found the young girl with golden eyes in the two thousand and eightieth year of the Sacred Sky Calendar, but she had already been killed.
"Hang on, it's now the two thousand year of the Sacred Sky Calendar. The young girl with golden eyes would have grown up by the time the Heaven Fate Ranking gave out the quest. She would no longer be a young girl …"
Qin Nan shook his head.
Meanwhile, a hundred zhang away …
The short-haired young man stomped on the stall and said with a hollow laugh, "Old man, our Li Clan has been treating you well, yet you betrayed us and brought her here! Tell me, how should I settle the score with you? "
The old man lowered his gaze and said, "Young Master Li, please calm down. I didn't sneak out with her. The Head Butler told me that as long as I paid fifty Three Spirit Crystals, I could get her freedom back. A few days ago, I gave the crystals to the Head Butler. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. "
The short-haired young man was furious when he heard that and shouted, "Ask my ass! You clearly know that I don't have a good relationship with the Head Butler, yet you still went to ask him. Could it be that you didn't do it on purpose? "
"Let me tell you, this little girl is my maid. Her slave contract is also in my hands. As long as I don't agree, she will always be my maid!"
A slave contract referred to a contract between an ordinary cultivator and an expert, whereby the cultivator would willingly become their slave.
In today's antiquity times, various forces would recruit various kinds of servants to deal with various miscellaneous matters and serve their disciples and clansmen.
The old man's tone had a trace of pleading as he said, "Young Master Li, you're a magnanimous person. Let Little Li live! She's still young and has a long life ahead of her. She can't always be a servant. "
In fact, under normal circumstances, cultivators with lower cultivation and no talent or background would be very willing to be the servants of the disciples and clansmen of the major forces.
Because this way, their usual cultivation resources would be much more abundant. They could also be appreciated by their masters, obtain some opportunities, and change their fate.
When they became stronger in the future, they could redeem themselves.
Unlike later generations, in today's antiquity times, there were many experts from poor families who had once been slaves to others.
However, Young Master Li was different.
When Young Master Li was young, he had been kidnapped by his enemies and was subjected to some inhumane torture. Therefore, his heart had unknowingly become very twisted, and he often took pleasure in torturing this little girl and other servants.
Moreover, all of Young Master Li's servants were children under the age of ten. When they reached the age of fifteen, Young Master Li would forcibly take over their bodies and torture them to death.
In particular, Young Master Li especially 'liked' Little Li's pair of strange golden eyes.
As such, the old man had decided to torture Little Li just so she would not be tortured again.
However, to the old man's regret, he always thought Young Master Li would only come to Luminous Moon Ascending City in another three months. As such, he had brought Little Li here to lie low for a while. He was planning to hide in the Small Immortal Realms that were ranked at the bottom.
To his surprise, Young Master Li had come so early.
"Cut the crap. I'm giving you one last chance. Take this girl with you and go home as soon as possible!"
Young Master Li snapped.
The old man clenched his teeth. He did not say a word, nor did he move.
"Very well! You're not even going to listen to me now? Do you think I won't dare to do anything to you just because we're in Luminous Moon Ascending City? "
Young Master Li was enraged. He threw a slap at the old man.
PA!
This slap did not land on the old man's face. Instead, it was blocked by a fair and jade-like hand.
At some point, a woman in a white robe had appeared beside the old man. Her black hair reached her waist, and she had a pair of faint-purple eyes. Her face was covered by a pink veil, preventing the crowd from seeing her true appearance.
The woman's cultivation was the same as Young Master Li's. She was also in the peak Master Realm.
"Who are you? How dare you stop me? "
Young Master Li's eyes flickered coldly.
"Lady, you can't afford to offend Young Master Li. You should leave before he loses his temper."
The two young men and the woman behind Young Master Li said.
"Can't afford to offend him?"
The eyes of the veiled woman flickered with disdain. She said, "I don't care who you are, this is Luminous Moon Ascending City. No one is allowed to use violence here! Are you trying to break the rules that have been around for so many years? "
Young Master Li said coldly, "Don't you dare accuse me! I'm well aware of the rules of Luminous Moon Ascending City, but this little girl is my servant. Now that she's being held hostage, why can't I save her as her master? "
The surrounding cultivators shook their heads at the sight of this.
Save the little girl?
That was definitely impossible!
However, this person used this as an excuse, and it was barely able to hold his ground.
