“...” Ye Wanchi was clearly taken aback by his words, but did not show any anger.
He silently endured for a moment and said, "You misunderstood me.
I didn't want to follow you;instead, I came here at the Master's order to buy something from the Vasta Pavilion."Mò Rán and Chǔ Wǎnning exchanged glances upon hearing this.— Shenwu.Nán Shōu-shi shook his red earthenware wine pot, his expression even darker.
"Father wants you to buy something;what do I have to do with it?Can't he use his own hands if he doesn't need me?""...'Asi,' no quería decirlo así.""Who gave you the right to call me like that?" Nán Shōu-shi’s brows were low, his gaze sharp as lightning.
"Young Master Ye, don’t think because Father favors you, you can act so recklessly in front of me...
Don't you find yourself disgusting?""I called you this way at the Master's request.
If it offends you, you can take your complaint to him," Ye Wanchi was silent for a moment before continuing, "What use is your anger towards me.""Don’t you dare pressure me with Father!"Nán Shōu-shi took a deep breath and calmed himself slightly.
His dark eyes gleamed with intense coldness, much like the moon hanging in the night sky, with smoke rising."Joven Señor Ye," extendió las tres palabras como si fueran algo importante.
"Tu padre te pidió que me llamases A Cuí.
Quizás se equivocó al estimar tu posición en la secta.
Pero debes tener un poco de autoconciencia.
No pienses que porque te di un toque, puedes abrir tu propio negocio de tintorería.
Recuerda, incluso si pintas tus propias prendas de color rojo y morado, tu fondo aquí te hace imposible competir conmigo."A faint hint of melancholy flashed across Ye Wanchi's face, his thick, dark lashes lowered as he quietly said, "Young Master is right, but I...
never had any intention of matching Young Master."The change in address slightly eased Nán Shōu-shi’s discomfort.
He took a few gulps of the spicy liquor and was still not drunk despite his large capacity.
He stared at Ye Wanchi for a moment before snorting and waving his hand dismissively: "You dare?Look at you now, how could you ever...?"He suddenly realized that there were too many people around and almost said something he shouldn’t have.
He quickly clamped his lips shut and stopped speaking."..."Meanwhile, Ye Wanchi, though grievously wronged, still lowered his gaze, so no one could see the anger or humiliation in his eyes.
He gave everyone a serene and gentle face with three parts of noble demeanor and seven parts of restraint.The atmosphere became awkwardly tense.Nán Shōu-shi fidgeted as he looked around, then his gaze fell on the woman behind Ye Wanchi.
To cover up what nearly slipped out, he coughed and gestured at her neck, asking Ye Wanchi, "Did you save her?""Yep.""Where is she from?Don’t save people of unknown origin without reason.""It’s fine, she was bought by the Vasta Pavilion," said Ye Wanchi.Nán Shōu-shi did not care about the auction of the Vasta Pavilion and made no effort to inquire.
But upon hearing that Song Qiutong was bought, he was taken aback.
His originally lazy and indifferent gaze sharpened as he focused on her face for a long moment before saying, "Is this slave bone or Butterfly Bone Beauty Bed?"There were only two types of people who could be openly sold in the cultivation world: the Butterfly Bone Beauty Bed and Slave Bone.Slave Bones were offspring from humans and demons.
Due to fear of their foreign nature, once identified, their true essence would be destroyed, and a slavery curse would be placed on their clavicle bones, making them slaves.However, slave bones weren't worth much and weren’t rare;they were usually given to large sects as servants or bought by wealthy merchants for playthings.
Since this item was sold by the Vasta Pavilion, it shouldn’t be of such low quality.Indeed, Ye Wanchi said: "It’s a Butterfly Bone Beauty Bed."Nán Shōu-shi became interested again.
He moved around Ye Wanchi and looked at Song Qiutong as if examining merchandise, circling her before frowning and saying, "Why is one of her legs lame?Is it a damaged item?""...She was injured when she was caught, treated with medicine, but the wound isn’t fully healed yet," said Ye Wanchi.
