Those who had spent a lot of money to plunder some scrap metal suddenly got excited again.

At this moment, one by one, the wooden cages were slowly raised from under the wooden platform, and the burlap coverings were removed.

Xiao Yuan looked towards those wooden cages.

The women lay inside, limp and boneless, their expressions filled with terror at the sight before them.

Ming Shu looked at several, his face filled with disappointment: "These are what you call beauties? Are all these people blind?"

Although he was plain-looking, judging from the expressions of the women, they must have been forced to come. He immediately looked at Xiao Yuan: "Master, should we save these women?"

Xiao Yuan squinted at the drooling, excited bandits below the stage, his face full of disgust: "Let Zheng Baizhong handle this!"

This mess has caused him to waste two days.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ming Shu glanced at the women with a look of sympathy, then turned and followed his master outside.

At that moment, he noticed that the group of idiots behind him had stopped their frantic shouting and had all fallen silent.

Akira couldn't resist glancing back out of curiosity and saw the last wooden cage.

Someone slowly lifted the red curtain, and a woman appeared before everyone like a bright pearl.

Just as Xiao Yuan was about to walk forward, he heard Ming Shu's astonished and incredulous voice behind him: "Master... it's... it's Lady Su!"

Xiao Yuan had already walked out of a section of the cave when he suddenly stopped.

As he slowly turned around, he saw that stunningly beautiful face.

Su Xuerong never expected that she would be captured and auctioned off, becoming an object to be sold at a price!

This is outrageous!

Anger immediately flashed across her face.

The Master of the Blissful Altar looked at the greedy people below who had snatched the "treasure" with a sneer, when suddenly he saw Su Xuerong in the wooden cage.

"Master, this is a special gift from your humble servant to you..." a white-robed man said obsequiously.

The Master of the Blissful Altar had a sinister look on his face: "Since it was a gift to me, why is it being put up for auction?"

The foreman hurriedly said, "I was thinking of letting these country bumpkins see what happens when someone actually offers a high price..."

The Master of the Blissful Altar narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Xuerong for a long time before sneering, "That's true. What good is gold and silver compared to a beautiful woman?"

Let those idiots bid first, then kill them later; both the money and the person will be left behind.

Only then can he properly enjoy this stunningly beautiful young woman.

The leader was overjoyed to see that the Master of the Blissful Altar had indeed taken a liking to Su Xuerong.

Once Su Xuerong is auctioned off at an unprecedented high price, he can get at least 10% of the profits.

Xiao Yuan stared intently at the woman in the wooden cage in the distance, a surge of anger rising within him that he himself could hardly perceive.

That Zheng Baizhong! He actually had someone kidnapped right under his nose!

The people below the stage instantly snapped out of their daze and burst into deafening roars of excitement, rushing towards Su Xuerong.

While Su Xuerong was still furious, she suddenly saw thousands of men rushing towards her like wild beasts, and she immediately panicked.

"Snap!"

A huge iron fence suddenly rose from the ground, effectively blocking the crowd that had already lost their minds from entering.

Several people swiftly leaped over the iron bars and rushed towards Su Xuerong, pouncing onto the wooden cage and reaching out to grab the beauty inside.

"Swish swish!"

Su Xuerong was so frightened that she kept backing away. Suddenly, she heard several sharp whooshing sounds, and then she saw those arms fall in front of her with blood splattering everywhere.

But what's even more frightening is what's to come.

Those who rushed towards her without regard for their own safety were instantly torn apart by invisible forces, their bodies scattered in several pieces on the ground.

"ah--"

Having gone without food or water for several days, and having been fed a strange muscle-relaxing drug, Su Xuerong could no longer hold on. Overwhelmed by the immense terror before her, she fainted...

In a daze, she seemed to hear the sounds of swords clashing, and then someone picked her up and whispered in her ear, "Little girl! Little girl!"

...

“Ah Rong…”

She didn't know how long she had been unconscious when she heard a familiar voice.

She struggled to open her eyes and saw Zhou Shi's anxious face.

"mother……"

Zhou was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of joy: "Arong, you're finally awake..."

"Hey, why are you crying again? The doctor said that Arong fainted because she hadn't eaten or drunk anything for several days and was too weak. She just needs to rest for a few days."

Su Jingxuan's voice came from the side.

Su Xuerong looked at her parents in surprise, and then at her surroundings.

She was lying in the bedroom of her rented house in Zhenjiang.

How did I get back?

With red eyes, Zhou said, "It was Lord Ming who brought you back."

“Ming Shu?” Su Xue Rong frowned.

She remembers clearly that before she fainted, she was locked in a wooden cage in a cave and put up for sale.

The thought of those crazy men sent chills down her spine.

"Did he... say anything to you?" Su Xuerong hadn't expected to be rescued like this and was eager to know what happened after she fainted.

"Lord Ming said that he was entrusted by Prefect Zheng of Zhenjiang to investigate a case of private gathering. He happened to see you tied up at the scene, so he rescued you and brought you back."
