Chapter 102: We Are All Ants... How Can We Talk About Revenge?

The manager smiled: "Now you know fear? It's too late! To be spotted by my lord is such a great honor? You actually refused blindly, and went everywhere arranging to find a son-in-law for your daughter. Whose face is this slapping? Do you think the lord isn't good enough to be a son-in-law, so he isn't worthy of your daughter?"

"No, no!" Sun the carpenter kowtowed and begged for mercy, "We only have this one daughter, we don't ask for wealth, we just want to enjoy her company. That's why we wanted to find a son-in-law. It's us who aren't worthy of Lord Miao, it's us who aren't worthy!"

The manager sighed: "It's too late to say these things now. My lord is already angry. The lord said..."

He touched Sun Xi Er's beautiful face with a smile: "... Since that bitch doesn't want to serve the lord, let her be ridden by thousands and slept with by ten thousand! Men, take her away!"

"No!"

Sun the carpenter couldn't bear to see his daughter be humiliated like that, and rushed over frantically, wanting to protect his daughter.

Xi Er's mother grabbed the manager, crying and questioning: "Isn't Lord Miao a good official? He gives food to the poor every month, and everyone says he is a rare good official! A good official, how can he forcibly snatch a common girl?"

"Get lost!" The manager kicked her away.

Xi Er's mother couldn't take the force and fell backward, her head hitting the stone steps, and she died on the spot.

Sun the carpenter saw his wife die and his daughter about to be snatched away, and anger rose in his heart. He picked up a woodworking knife and wanted to fight for his life.

But how could he be a match for those villains?

In just two or three moves, he was knocked down, his mouth stuffed, and he was beaten to death under the manager's orders. Blood flowed all over the ground, and his eyes were still staring unwillingly when he died.

That night, the sky was as dark as ink that couldn't be dissolved, and there wasn't a glimmer of light, only the power of the strong pressing down on people with no way out.

And those villains, before leaving, disposed of the bodies and wiped away the blood, easily erasing the Sun family from Donglin Prefecture.

"They killed my parents and brought me to this demon's den. They said that a noble person likes the docility of blind women, so they had to pierce my eyes, my eyes hurt so much, so much..."

It was only after hearing this that Lin Qingyue knew that the sudden disappearance of Sun the carpenter's family was because of this.

No wonder after Xie Shouzheng went to report the case, he was falsely accused as a suspect; it turned out to be like this!

"I was sent here three days ago. I heard from a sister that this place is specifically for receiving nobles who come here to look at jade. Many of those nobles have special hobbies. Some like blind women, some like women covered in scars... In short, once women arrive here, they are no longer human, not even as good as beasts."

Hong Yao said: "Stop crying, your eye injury will worsen if you keep crying. Just wait with peace of mind; maybe soon we will all be saved, and then I will send you home."

"Home?" The girl cried, her tears wetting the gauze, blood-red.

She said: "I have no home, my family was all killed by them!"

"Who harmed you?" Hong Yao asked.

"Miao Dong! Donglin Prefecture Changshi, that devil!"

"We are all ants... how can we talk about revenge?"

Lin Qingyue walked up, stroked her eyes covered by gauze, and said: "You rest first, maybe when you wake up, everything will be fine."

Since the family tragedy, she could no longer sleep peacefully. Especially her eyes, which hurt painfully.

At this moment, after being stroked by Lin Qingyue's hand, the stinging pain suddenly disappeared, and the sleepiness made her lie down slowly, and she soon fell into a dream.

Lin Qingyue said to Hong Yao: "You watch here, I'll go out and see."

Hong Yao urged: "Young Lady, be careful."

Although there were guards everywhere, with Lin Qingyue's current ability, entering and leaving this place was like entering no-man's land.

She explored the whole place and found that this elegant courtyard was divided into three areas.

The largest area was the Baihua Building. Inside, they were all young and beautiful women. Some were normal, and some were deliberately made disabled. But without exception, these women's origins were not normal. Either they were sold or snatched.

Next was the Nanfeng Guan, where there were all young and handsome men.

Dongfang Qi was also inside, and at this moment he had also sneaked out secretly. Seeing Lin Qingyue, he hurriedly came to reunite.

"How is the situation on your side? Did you suffer any harm?"

He lowered his eyes and scanned Lin Qingyue, and only then felt relieved: "Looking at you, it doesn't seem like anything happened. Earlier, what was the surgery the fat woman mentioned?"

Lin Qingyue roughly told him the situation.

After hearing this, Dongfang Qi was first surprised, then angry: "This is simply absurd and cruel to the extreme! I never thought that in our Great Qi, there would be such a hell on earth!"

Lin Qingyue asked him: "How is the situation in your Nanfeng Guan?"

Dongfang Qi said: "I inquired, there are about twenty or thirty people in the Nanfeng Guan, not many adult men, most of them are teenagers under 15, and some are even younger."

"These teenagers are basically from good families. Because of their outstanding appearance, they were targeted, and then deceived and abducted here."

"Among them, there is one who has been here for two years and is the most senior. I heard him say that generally, it doesn't exceed six months, or they are worn out and can't continue to receive guests. Or, they are older and not popular. They will be sent to the mine in the back to be laborers. In short, anyone who enters this mine, whether they are laborers or forced to sell themselves, will eventually end up badly and will never be able to walk out of here."

"But they can't resist, because resisting will only lead to a worse death. I heard that a few months ago in the Baihua Building, a woman stabbed Miao Dong with a hairpin. Miao Dong was furious and used extremely cruel means to torture her to death."

"So, even if they know that they can't escape death in the end, no one dares to resist."

"In addition, I also heard that tonight there will be noble guests coming to the mine to look at jade, and Miao Dong should be hosting them personally."

Lin Qingyue smiled: "That's good, it saves us a lot of effort."

Dongfang Qi was a bit worried: "Qingyue, I know you have supernatural abilities, and even powerful demons are not your match. But some people are more terrifying than demons. And here, it is already a place outside the law. So I think it's best if you don't clash with them head-on, it's best to wait until tomorrow morning when Xiao Hui brings reinforcements to cast the net."

He paused and continued: "Also, I just stood upstairs and observed, there are many places set up with formations, even demon types like Hong Yao, I'm afraid they will be affected by them." ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
