Fei Luo's smiling face popped into Lin Xuan Qi's vision when he entered the slave brokerage again.

It would be the last time he would set foot in it for a very long time.

Instantly, the dark and gloomy atmosphere and groaning from the distance within the building made him uncomfortable.

"Get me the remaining ten men and women.

"Most of them women, preferably to help with household chores.

"As for the men, see if there's someone who is skilled in taking care of horses," Lin Xuan Qi said.

After traveling so much for the day, he decided that it was time for him to get a horse carriage.

There was an empty stable in the mansion to keep the horses.

What he needed was someone who could take care of them.

Fei Luo nodded his head, rubbed his hands together and replied, "Yes, Master Lin, that's not an issue. Many of them reared goats, cattle and horses for a living. I'll be back in a moment."

He turned around and his men followed him into the back of the building.

Clank.

When Fei Luo returned, the sounds of the chains brushing against the ground could be heard when the men and women emerged after Fei Luo.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at them carefully.

These men and women were going to be living with him in the mansion, so he was going to be more discerning with them.

They stole a glance at him with wary eyes and quickly lowered their heads again.

Scared that they would offend him.

They were mostly middle-aged men and women.

Out of them, there were only two men who would be taking care of the horses.

As for the rest, they were middle-aged women.

Which meant that they should have more life experience and could help the younger servant girls.

He nodded his head and said, "Release them from the chains."

Fei Luo nodded and pointed at one of his men.

Clank.

His men unlocked the chains, and they dropped to the ground.

Having been freed from the chains, the men and women rubbed their wrists, necks and ankles, soothing the pain from being bound with the chains for so long.

They glanced at Lin Xuan Qi and bowed to him.

"I'm Lin Xuan Qi, and from now onwards, you shall be working for me.

"Work hard and you shall be treated fairly.

"Try anything funny and I'll send you back here," Lin Xuan Qi said.

By now he was used to giving such speeches.

"Yes, Master Lin." The men and women bowed to him.

Fei Luo, however, wasn't too happy.

He frowned when he heard what Lin Xuan Qi said.

What do you mean by sending them back here as punishment? Fei Luo thought silently to himself.

It's nice and cozy here.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at him and waited.

"Ah, how could I forget?" Fei Luo slapped his forehead and passed the document he had on the top of the tea table in the hall.

Lin Xuan Qi took the documents, and words began to appear in his mind.

[Congratulations to host for recruiting ten servants to the mansion.]

[An additional 100KG of rice will be delivered to the mansion daily.]

[Keep up the good work and recruit more personnel.]

[System shall be upgraded when it's done.]

He felt great when he saw the familiar words again.

In a span of a day, he had gotten an increase of four hundred kilograms of rice daily from the system.

He would have to renegotiate his deal with Hun Xiong Kun right afterwards.

"Come, follow me," Lin Xuan Qi said and turned around towards the doors of the slave brokerage.

He started walking towards them.

It was best for him to get out of the place as soon as possible.

"What are you waiting for?" Fei Luo shouted at them when he saw them standing where they were.

His menacing voice struck fear into them, and they quickly started to move, following closely behind Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi felt his chest lighten.

A huge pressure was lifted off it.

Things were going well so far, and he was close to success.

His steps also lightened, and he started to whistle a tune while he led them to the mansion.

The past few days had been hectic for him.

It was time to relax and enjoy life when it was all over, he thought silently to himself.

The men and women weren't sure what to make of it.

But it wouldn't be something bad if the young master was in a good mood.

A good omen to some of them.

They secretly prayed to the heavens for the brighter future ahead of them.

...

Lin Mansion.

Xue Cong stood with her hands placed at the back of her waist.

Standing up straight with her head high, she was looking at the front with a stern look, trying hard to exude a strict aura.

Yue Xin nodded at her while she encircled Xue Cong.

"That's it. You must not let them feel that they could take advantage of you at any moment."

Yue Jie, who was also standing beside them, rolled her eyes at Yue Xin.

"Stop giving Xue Cong the wrong ideas," she said and slapped Yue Xin on her back.

"Ouch." Yue Xin gave out a cry and tried to run away from Yue Jie's grasp.

But it was too late as Yue Jie grabbed onto Yue Xin's waist and pulled her away from Xue Cong.

The momentum of Yue Xin was too much, and she stumbled into the chest of Yue Jie.

She immediately felt the softness that enveloped her head, and she quickly stopped herself from falling forward.

Yue Xin stole a glance down at her chest and thought about the huge difference between her and her sister.

It's not fair, she thought.

"What am I thinking? Who wants to be pleasing those men?" Yue Xin changed her mind and said to herself silently.

The kind and smiling face of Lin Xuan Qi appeared in her mind, and she hesitated for a moment.

Yue Xin quickly shook her head vigorously, trying to get him out of her mind.

Getting her father out and avenging him was more important.

Lin Xuan Qi should be better off with her sister, Yue Jie.

"See, I told you to be careful." Yue Jie, unaware of what had gone through Yue Xin's mind, said while she checked on Yue Xin to see if she was hurt.

"I think all of you are making a fuss out of nothing," Liu Shi Shi, who was sitting in her chair, said.
