”Where can I buy adult male slaves?” Ruo Lan looked at Xue Ziling and asked.

Xue Ziling raised his head, looked at Ruo Lan and said respectfully, ”Young Master, all the stalls here are sold by adult male slaves, I just wonder which kind you want?”

”Oh?” Roland raised his eyebrows. ”Is there any difference?”

”Yes, young master.”

Xue Ziling organized his speech and said, ”Adult male slaves are also divided into many different types depending on their uses. Some were used for farming, while others were used as domestic servants. Of course, there are many other special ones as well. ”

”Can you elaborate?” Roran asked.

Xue Ziling nodded his head and said: ”Usually, if you buy slaves to do farm work, then I suggest you buy slaves from the north. Because the Northerners were tall, strong, and honest, they would not run away once they had matured, but they had a bad temper and could cause trouble at any time. If you are going to be a servant at home, you'd better buy slaves from the south. They are smaller than the Northerners, but very smart. You can handle your family matters very well! However, it is precisely because they are smart that more than half of the escaping slaves are southerners. ”

Ruo Lan nodded with a smile and said, ”You said that there was something special just now. What is it?”

Xue Ziling said, ”There are still some, such as those prisoners of war soldiers and generals. These prices were quite expensive. One common soldier was equivalent to the price of three ordinary slaves. If it's a high-ranking officer, then it's even higher! ”

Ruo Lan was puzzled. ”Why would these people buy it? For farming? ”

Xue Ziling shook his head and said, ”Usually only those underground fighting fields will want these slaves. Soldiers and generals can't do farm work, they are too proud and too powerful. Ordinary masters wouldn't be able to control them. ”

It was the first time Ruo Lan had heard of this thing in the underground battle arena.

It was impossible for such a thing to appear in the little village where she had lived all her life.

However, just by hearing the name, Ruo Lan could roughly guess what kind of place it was.

She nodded slightly and said, ”Take me to see those soldiers and Northern Slaves.”

Xue Ziling was slightly suspicious. The slaves and soldiers of the Northerners were definitely not slaves that could be used to do the same work.

However, since his employer was interesting, he naturally had to obey orders.

Beside Ruo Lan, Qian Chao asked in a low voice, ”Why do you want to buy soldiers and Northern Slaves? Also, what about adult male slaves, and what are they? ”

He looked at Ruo Lan with a somewhat confused expression.

Ruo Lan shot him a glance and chuckled, ”Isn't it for someone's sake? I don't have to say anything when I get the chance. I'm a travelling family member, and I have all sorts of women by my side. I might ruin the Buddhist's reputation or something like that.”

As soon as he said that, Ye Zichen was speechless.

However, Ruo Lan's words moved the ring slightly.

What he had said was that if he wanted to find a hundred mortal disciples, he would use them to fool Ruo Lan. In retrospect, however, this might be a good reason.

Especially after that, he intended to use these hundred home practicing disciples to help Ruo Lan, so he had some plans in mind.

Xue Ziling brought Ruo Lan and the others and passed through the slave market. Countless stalls were arranged on both sides of the road.

The slaves wore only a cloth, and were chained by the slavers, and were led up to the dais in squads.

The body condition of the slaves was then introduced by the slavers, who then offered for purchase by the onlookers below.

”Young Master, there's no need to look at these.” Seeing Ruo Lan looking at the slaves on the high platform, Xue Ziling reminded her.

”Why?”

”Is this your first time in this slave market?” Xue Ziling asked.

Ruo Lan nodded slightly and replied, ”Yes.”

Xue Ziling laughed, ”Then no wonder. These slaves are all not good stuff, there's no need to buy them! ”

”Oh?” Ruo Lan raised her head, looking at the slaves on the high platform with narrowed eyes.

Due to the light, these slaves looked strong and their skin was glowing. However, if one looked closely, they would see that their eyes were numb and lifeless. Many of them were still sweating. It seems to be a result of chronic malnutrition.

He nodded and followed Xue Ziling.

However, after they had walked a few steps, they heard an earth-shaking wail.

It was a woman's voice.

Turning his head, he saw a few sturdy looking men dragging a few women to a high platform. The women were all dressed in rags, and they would occasionally reveal a bit of spring light as they pulled on the clothes.

Although they were all over the place, their faces were especially fair and clean, and they had quite a bit of beauty to them.

”Bitch, are you free to come here? ”Go up for laozi!” The leader of the men cursed as he lashed out with his whip at the woman in front.

The woman cried out, ”Please, I will pay you back even if I have to work as a horse. Please don't sell me as a slave!”

The man didn't say anything, he only whipped the woman viciously, causing her to roll on the ground.

Ruo Lan couldn't bear to see someone bullying a woman so she glared at him.

However, just as she took a step forward, one of the guards grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear, ”There is a rule here. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better take a look first!”
