Tonight's meal was particularly delicious, but everyone obviously had no appetite. They were all in a low mood and buried their heads, not knowing how to persuade Ye Hong to stay or what to say.
The big table meal was proposed by Ye Hong, and it has always been the case, in order to bring everyone closer, so that everyone has no sense of distance and no distinction between high and low. The effect is indeed very good.
In the past, everyone was lively, talking and laughing, but today they were all silent, which made Ye Hong feel very unhappy.
"It's not right for you to do this. It seems like I've abused you. The atmosphere has become lively! Huayu, don't you like to eat grilled wings the most? Do it quickly! Why are you standing still!"
"Brother, do you really want to leave? Can you not leave?"
The little girl whom Ye Hong called Hua Yu looked up at Ye Hong, her eyes sparkling as if the dam was about to burst.
Hua Yu was one of the first slaves Ye Hong bought back after Murong Jingxue left. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old and had the most cheerful personality. She often came to Ye Hong to play with her. She was still a child at heart, and Ye Hong also liked her very much. Her lively and cheerful personality.
At this moment, when Hua Yu asked, everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Hong, with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
"Big brother is just leaving for a while and will be back soon. There's nothing to cry about. It's not like we'll never see him again."
"I said you guys are too, be happy and eat! Don't waste so much delicious food."
Encouraged by Ye Hong's jokes, the atmosphere gradually became lively. Time also flies by, and it’s evening.
Medusa and Xiaoqing found Ye Hong who was walking in the courtyard, seemingly hesitant.
"What's the matter with you two? Have the new batch of people settled in?"
"I...we actually came here to talk about this. The master brought back too many people this time, and the small courtyard...the small courtyard can't accommodate many people. You see..."
"That's it?"
"Well, we want to discuss with the owner whether... we can use the room you live in. Your room is larger..."
Medusa's voice became softer and softer, and in the end she didn't even dare to look up at Ye Hong. She had considered this opinion for a long time. Although Ye Hong was easy to talk to, he was the master of this place after all. What she was doing was a bit like trying to seize power. She was worried about whether Ye Hong would be angry.
Hearing that Medusa and Xiaoqing came to him for this matter, Ye Hong was a little surprised and a little embarrassed at the same time. He had only thought about buying back more slaves before, but he had forgotten about it.
'Well, now I'm going to be kicked out before I leave. '
Ye Hong understood Medusa and the others very well, so naturally he wouldn't blame them. As for his own house, he didn't mind misappropriating it. He was leaving tomorrow anyway, so he could just spend the night outside.
"Master...Master, actually we don't mean to offend! If you don't agree, we can think of other ways..." Xiaoqing quickly defended and agreed, fearing that Yehong would be angry.
"Don't be nervous. It's just a room. I didn't think it through and didn't think about the problem of too many people. Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, and my room is empty. You can just use it. "Ye Hong said.
"Thank you for your understanding, Master! Master, tonight...you..."
"I'll just go out and find a place to stay for one night tonight. It's hard to find a place to live in!" Ye Hong said casually.
"How can that be done? This is a servant's fault. If you don't mind, Master, you can spend the night in our room!"
"Yes! Yes! Master, the room that Sister Medusa and I have is quite spacious. We are cultivators at night and don't have to sleep. The bed is empty and no one is sleeping. If you don't mind, come and stay with us for one night." "
"This...isn't good..."
"Master, are you blaming us? You despise our status as slaves." A sad and depressed expression appeared on Xiaoqing's face, her eyes dim.
Seeing that both Xiaoqing and Medusa had inferiority complex, Ye Hong felt that he had said something wrong and quickly corrected him, saying:
"I didn't mean that, and I don't dislike you. You are the same as everyone else. There is no distinction between high and low. Don't belittle yourself like this."
"Then why Master refuses... In the final analysis, you still dislike us. It turns out that Master, like those slave owners, you feel that we are of low status." Xiao Qing said while wiping her tears.
"That's not true, Xiaoqing, you misunderstood."
Seeing that she could not be persuaded, Xiaoqing still couldn't stop crying. Medusa also hid her tears, feeling that she had done something wrong. Yehong suddenly felt paralyzed. The thing that he couldn't bear the most was girls being like this.
"Okay! Okay! Why don't I promise you that I won't go out to live tonight?"
"Then... then Master, you agree."
Seeing that the two of them finally stopped, with wet tears in his eyes, Ye Hong finally relented and agreed.
"There's really nothing I can do against you!"
"Great!
Sister Medusa, please take the master around for a while. I will make arrangements first and pack your things. "
"Hey... little..."
Before Medusa could agree, Xiao Qing disappeared in a flash, leaving only Medusa and Ye Hong in the same place.
"I'm sorry, Master. Xiaoqing doesn't know etiquette. I'll apologize to you on her behalf."
Ye Hong smiled and waved his hand, not caring, and said:
"Xiao Qing has a good personality, but she is a bit naughty. She hasn't caused you any trouble recently, has she?"
"No! No! She is still very obedient in front of me."
"That's good. Xiaoqing is also a member of your clan. Her talent is not low. With more training, she can be a great help to you. When necessary, you can also hand over the Imperial Formation Golden Pearl to her control. You two will help us to complete my mission. The task entrusted to you."
"Yes, this slave knows."
"Controlling the Imperial Golden Pearl requires extremely large crystals as support. You can hold the crystals in this storage bag. These crystals are enough for you to release the most powerful killing array in the Imperial Golden Pearl. It won't be until the critical moment. Always remember not to use it.”
Saying that, Ye Hong handed a storage bag to Medusa and told her to put it away.
"Walk with me."
"yes!"
In this way, Medusa followed Ye Hong while walking in the courtyard, and the two of them said nothing. Suddenly when he reached a secluded corner, Ye Hong stopped and looked up at the night sky and said:
"Although we have known each other for a short time, we have been together for more than a month. I remember when I first bought you from those human traffickers, you were so special, with intelligent eyes that were different from others."
"I did read it right. Your performance and ability are the best among everyone, but there is one thing that makes me very confused and has always been puzzled. Can you answer it for me?"
Medusa raised her head, her eyes full of doubts. She didn't know what question Ye Hong wanted to ask herself.
"Why are you willing to accept me as your Lord? With your intelligence, you should know what I am asking."
"? Master and slave don't understand." Medusa frowned, very puzzled.
"You really don't understand?" Ye Hong turned around and looked directly into Medusa's eyes, as if he wanted to find the answer in her eyes.
"Master...master...slave...slave, did you do...something wrong?"
When Ye Hong looked directly into her eyes at such a close distance, Medusa became extremely nervous and appeared a little scared.
