Under the dim light of the night, on the brightly lit street, a beautiful and tall woman was looking at a teenager who was a little shorter than her.
Not knowing if it was because of the flickering lights or something else, Kong Yan's eyes flashed with light. She still had a cold and elegant appearance, but there was a little more care in her, and this care made her seem a little panicked.
Looking at Lu An's hand pointing at the slave, looking at Lu An's calm expression, Kong Yan could not say a single word.
She looked at Lu An's eyes, she knew that Lu An had given her a real answer, but she still did not understand. The answer was clearly in front of her, but she still wanted to ask why.
Killing slaves, wasn't it as normal as killing chickens and pigs? The whole world was like this, who had never killed a slave?
Looking at Kong Yan's tangled face, Lu An did not blame her, but gently put down his hand, took a light breath, and said softly, "You don't understand what I'm saying, because we are not people of the same world."
The night wind blew, making people feel a chill.
Kong Yan looked at Lu An, and Lu An also looked at her. From the moment Lu An said those words, she really felt that the distance between the two of them was very far.
"I still have things to do." Lu An suddenly smiled, as if nothing had happened, and said softly, "Sister Yan, I'll be leaving first."
Finished speaking, without waiting for Kong Yan to say anything, Lu An turned around and left with big strides.
When the slave saw Lu An leave, he was stunned for a moment, but then quickly followed. Soon the two of them disappeared at the end of the street, disappearing from Kong Yan's eyes. But Kong Yan had been standing in front of the Kong Mansion for a long time, and did not go back.
… …
… …
Lu An walked on the streets of Meteor Trail City, the lanterns were lit, Meteor Trail City did not disappoint the life of 'Meteor Trail'. In this bustling city, the night market seemed to be particularly bustling.
Lu An's dressing today was different from the past, he did not dress like a poor person, but wore a blue aristocratic robe, which attracted a lot of attention as he walked on the street. Many people were guessing in their hearts, which family's Young Master was this.
The slave followed Lu An with his head bowed. This was the basic quality of a slave. The slaves were required to keep their line of sight on the master's feet for a long time. Even if they looked up, they could only look up to the chest at most. They must never look up to the master's eyes. Of course, when the master asked the slave to look at him, it wasn't that the slave couldn't look, but he had to kneel on the ground and look up at the master.
Lu An was very clear about this because half a month ago, he was also a slave.
The two of them walked down the street one after the other. The slave carefully followed behind his new master, not daring to say a word. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and be disliked by his new master. If he wasn't careful, he would be executed again.
Speaking of death everywhere, he was very grateful to his new master. Although he was a slave, he was not stupid at all. Just now, the new master had offended the entire Kong family because of him. He had even almost been unable to walk out of the Kong family. No one had ever cared so much about his life, so even though this new master was a little young, he had never been so loyal before!
"Raise your head."
The slave was stunned. He suddenly pulled back his thoughts from his thoughts, but he heard his master's words clearly and quickly knelt down to look at his master.
It was normal to kneel down on the street.
"Stand and raise your head." Before he could kneel down, a voice came from the front. The voice carried an irresistible tone, saying, "Look at me."
The slave was shocked and quickly knelt down. His mouth also loudly said, "This slave doesn't dare!"
But when he was about to kneel down, he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder. The power of his kneeling body was grabbed, and he was even pulled up.
"I said, look at me." Lu An calmly said.
The slave swallowed his saliva, his heart beating wildly. He really didn't understand what his new master meant. Did he want to kill him?
But even so, the slave's duty was to listen to his master's orders. He could only tremble and raise his head to look at the young man in front of him.
However, when he met his new master's eyes, his body shook.
These eyes were so calm … There was no trace of murderous intent!
"That's it." Lu An looked at the sluggish slave and said, "Stick out your chest and raise your head."
After that, Lu An didn't say anything more. He turned around and walked forward again. The slave stood there in a daze. Watching his new master walk further and further away, he quickly followed.
He was just about to lower his head when he heard a voice in front of him say, "Raise your head and walk."
"… …"
The slave struggled in his heart. He didn't understand what his new master was thinking, but he still raised his head and walked with his chest out.
Lu An didn't say anything until they arrived in front of a good restaurant. Lu An strode in. The slave was taken aback, but he hurriedly followed him.
The waiter saw a guest coming in and immediately trotted over. Especially when he saw Lu An's luxurious clothes, he quickly bowed his head and said flatteringly, "Guest, what would you like?"
"Give me something delicious, I don't need too much." Lu An said.
"Alright!" The waiter hurriedly replied with a wide smile. He only left after finding a private room for Lu An. The restaurant was very efficient. In a short while, the table was full of dishes.
Lu An picked up the chopsticks, but the slave carefully stood behind Lu An and didn't dare to take half a step forward.
"Sit down." Lu An pointed to the seat in front of him and said without looking back, "Eat with me."
The slave was stunned. He looked at Lu An dumbfounded, but Lu An didn't look back at him. He was very scared, but he knew that his master didn't like to say things twice, especially to slaves. He quickly walked over and sat down, but he didn't dare to touch the bowl and chopsticks in front of him.
"Eat." Lu An said, "Eat normally."
"… …"
The slave stared at Lu An with his eyes wide open, but he thought that even if his new master wanted to kill him, he would be willing. Being a full ghost was better than being a hungry ghost! He hadn't eaten a good meal for three days. Looking at the dishes on the table, he quickly started eating.
Delicious!
Delicious!
It was all delicious!
The more the slave ate, the faster he ate. In the end, he even wolfed down the food, which even made the surrounding guests look at him.
Lu An didn't care at all. He ate slowly with his chopsticks. The two formed a sharp contrast, which made the surrounding people even more curious.
However, after eating for a while, the slave unexpectedly cried.
Two lines of tears flowed out from his eyes, flowing over his hungry and thin face, and fell on the steamed bun in his hand.
The tears continued to flow down like a river. So many tears made the surrounding people even more puzzled.
Only Lu An was still unmoved. He just quietly ate his own food, completely unaffected.
Plop!
The slave suddenly knelt at the feet of Lu An and said in full view, "Thank you …"
Snap!
The slave's throat was suddenly hit by a peanut. The sudden pain made him unable to say the last two words.
"Get up and sit down." Lu An frowned slightly and said.
The slave got up and sat on the chair again. Lu An looked at him, and for the first time, he seriously sized him up.
This person looked very old. After being a slave for so many years, he weakened very quickly. From the looks of it, he should be in his thirties. However, this age was already very old for a slave.
Very few slaves would live to this age. Usually, they would not be more than thirty years old. It was not because they were too old and their stamina could not keep up, but because before the age of thirty, slaves would basically be executed by their masters for making mistakes.
"How old are you?" Lu An asked.
"Replying to master, this servant is thirty-seven years old this year." The slave wiped his tears and quickly said.
"Thirty-seven …" Lu An softly muttered, then shook his head and said, "After this meal, you will leave Starfire City."
Hearing this, the slave was startled. His entire body trembled, and he quickly raised his head to look at Lu An. He asked with a trembling voice, "Master, are you taking this servant away from here?"
"No, you're the one who's leaving." Lu An looked at this person. He never liked to beat around the bush, and said, "I didn't buy you to make you my slave."
Following that, Lu An took out three gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the table. He said, "Take the money and go to another city to start your life anew."
With that, Lu An stood up and placed an ingot of silver on the table as the money for the meal. However, he saw the slave looking at him with a face full of fear. He didn't even dare to touch the three gold coins on the table.
"Take it." Lu An chuckled and said, "If I can see you again, I hope you are no longer a slave."
