Chapter 168 World Seven (Sixteen)

Wu Li signaled Zhuo Er to be silent. Zhuo Er hurriedly changed his clothes and followed Wu Li out of the house. With their nimble movements, they soon arrived at the foot of the high wall that Wu Li had explored.

Looking at the wall he could easily jump over before, Zhuo Er was troubled and told Wu Li the truth: "Nu Yuan took cartilage softening drugs and has no strength left in his body."

Hearing this, Wu Li's brow furrowed, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He gently tugged at Zhuo Er's collar, stepped back, and with a leap on his toes, the two of them crossed the slave garden.

Until they were several miles away from the Nuyuan, Zhuo Er's breathing became unstable and his eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that the Nuyuan who had imprisoned him for a long time could escape so easily.

Zhuo Er looked at Wu Li, abandoned the Central Plains dialect he had just learned, and spoke in a foreign language: "Brother, let's go back to the tribe."

Although the Central Plains is a good place with outstanding people, beautiful scenery and abundant products, it is not their homeland after all, and it is not as good as living happily in a foreign land.

Wu Li's amber eyes flickered as he mercilessly poured cold water on Zhuo Er: "Are you going back to be eaten by hawks?"

The once enthusiastic drow suddenly became listless. The eldest brother in the tribe found a pretext to expel anyone who didn't submit to him wholeheartedly. And because of his disrespect for the new leader, drow was put in a sack and thrown into the slave garden to be tamed.

Zhuo Er is the youngest son of the tribal leader. He was born free and lived a carefree life.

At first, he was extremely disgusted with Nuyuan's methods and was unwilling to give in.

But the people in Nuyuan are good at using both soft and hard tactics, breaking Zhuoer's bottom line step by step, making him learn to flatter and be servile.

Thinking of Nuyuan's training methods, Zhuo Er's face still had a bit of sadness: "Fortunately, my brother arrived in time. The customer that Nuyuan found for me will come to pick me up tomorrow.

If I had been a step later, I would have been taken away to serve the people of Central Plains."

After all these experiences, Zhuo Er was no longer as naive as before. He knew that if he wanted to return to the tribe, he would have to confront the new leader, his eldest brother. Zhuo Er said of his plan: "My eldest brother's methods are tyrannical. The people of the tribe submit on the surface, but many of them are secretly dissatisfied.

"Brother, if you return to the tribe with me, we will surely redeem ourselves and seek revenge. Brother is clever and intelligent, yet incredibly brave. When father was alive, he often praised you as the tribe's one and only eagle, saying you would definitely be able to recapture the land..."

Wu Li looked gloomy. He looked up at the sky and saw a few rays of dawn emerging from the dark night. He stopped Zhuo Er's fantasy and said, "Whatever you want to do, you can do it. I want to stay here."

Zhuo Er couldn't believe it and cried out, "Stay here and be a lowly slave?"

Wu Li's eyes were calm, as if stating a fact: "I am a slave."

He was expelled from the tribe and became a homeless stranger, then was picked up by a horse trader and branded a slave.

Zhuo Er looked at the scarlet color peeking out from the collar of Wu Li's outer robe, reached out and tore off a piece of cloth. His dark eyes flickered slightly as he remembered the woman Wu Li had held in his arms when the two brothers first met. He asked tentatively, "Brother, is it not because of that delicate Central Plains woman, so frail that she would fall at the slightest breeze, that you're willing to stay in the Central Plains?"

Wu Li reached out and pulled the cloth back from Zhuo Er's hand, warning him lightly, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I just said that if I don't run away, I won't break my promise."

Zhuo Er showed a sarcastic smile on his face, obviously not believing what Wu Li said.

Zhuo Er had absolutely no good feelings towards the people of the Central Plains. Even though Bao Shan had a gentle face and looked harmless, Zhuo Er had no desire to get close to her.

"How can we still talk about trust when dealing with people from the Central Plains? When I was in the tribe, I heard that Central Plains women have many tricks. They are especially good at winning people's hearts and minds, and they can make us foreign men run around in circles, and we are eager to give our hearts to them.

But I never thought that my brother would fall into the trap of a Central Plains woman."

The crimson cloth seemed to burn Zhuo Er's eyes. He blurted out, "This gorgeous color must have been given to you by that delicate girl. That's why you treasure it so much.

Since my brother is willing to give up his bloodline brothers for a woman from the Central Plains, I cannot stop him."

Zhuo Er snorted coldly, moved his feet, and distanced himself from Wu Li.

This was a common tactic used by Zhuo Er back in the tribe. Zhuo Er was the leader's youngest son, and he acted rather capriciously, only caring about his own pleasure and never considering others.

In the past in the tribe, Wu Li was unwilling to bother with him, but now Zhuo Er used the same trick again, trying to make Wu Li surrender and return to the tribe with him.

But Wu Li showed no sign of compromise and nodded gently: "When a falcon grows up, it will be pushed off the cliff and learn to flap its wings.

You are no longer a child, you can do whatever you want."

Even if the drow wanted to become the leader of the tribe and replace his eldest brother, Wu Li would not be surprised, but he would not interfere.

Wu Li rescued Zhuo Er from the slave garden because he couldn't bear to see him suffer out of brotherly love.

But Wu Li is not a worrying eagle, and he always keeps the young eagle by his side.

The sky gradually turned pale, and Wu Li no longer hesitated and turned to leave.

Zhuo Er's eyes welled up as he watched Wu Li's figure walk away. He thought to himself, "Big Brother has changed." Zhuo Er wasn't sad because he knew that Big Brother wasn't a good person to begin with.

But Wu Li had changed, and Zhuo Er felt extremely sad.

Zhuo Er still remembered that when he was a child, he stroked Wu Li's strange eyes and said, "This is a pearl gem," which made the whole room laugh. Even the usually cold brother Wu Li showed tenderness in his clear eyes.

But when we arrived in the Central Plains, everything changed.

Zhuo Er left angrily.

In the slave garden, when Zhuo Er was found missing, there was a great commotion.

The guard was even more furious. He couldn't believe how the drow, who had no strength at all, could climb over the high walls and escape from the slave garden.

The guard ordered everyone in the slave garden to search for Zhuo Er with all their might.

But right now, there is a more important thing, that is, today, we must send the trained slaves to Princess An Ning's mansion.

The original choice was Zhuo Er, who had a delicate face and a docile temperament.

Now that Zhuo Er has run away, the remaining slaves are considered vulgar in the eyes of the guards. How can they compare to Zhuo Er? If they are offered up rashly, Princess An Ning might think that they are being perfunctory.

The guard paced back and forth, thinking, and a more exquisite face emerged in his mind. He hurried to Princess An Ning's Mansion.

I heard that the slaves presented by the slave garden are good in every way, and most importantly, they are exquisite and well-behaved.

Since Bada entered the Princess's Mansion, his life has been completely different from before, but Bada knows it very well.

If he saw the new slaves, he, despite his outwardly savage appearance, would be abandoned. All the privileges he had received now would be reserved for the new slaves. How could Bada accept this?

When Bada heard the slave garden keeper report to Princess An Ning's personal guard that a new slave had escaped, he felt a surge of joy. But soon, his laughter stopped.

Without waiting for the guards to question him, the guard quickly said, "But there are other slaves whose appearance is even better than that of the drow."

The guards obviously didn't believe it. If such a person existed, Nuyuan would have reported him to the princess to claim credit, and why would he hide until now?

The guard hurriedly said, "That's absolutely true, but this slave isn't from the slave farm. He's being kept by a horse dealer..."

The guard waved his hand and said, "Then why don't you take him to the slave garden quickly? If the princess goes there and doesn't see anyone, you will be furious."

The guard hurriedly responded.

When Baoshan brought food to Wuli, Wuli had already woken up, and the red cloth was still tied intactly around his wrist.

This time, Wu Li did not spill the meal and he finished it properly.

As if still angry about what happened last time, Baoshan kept his eyes and eyebrows lowered, not looking at Wu Li, nor talking to him.

The corners of Wu Li's lips twitched slightly, and he let out a soft cry because the wound was pulled.

Baoshan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't care about being angry with Wu Li. She gently stroked Wu Li's wrist with her fingertips and applied ointment for him.

But looking at Wu Li's calm eyes, Bao Shan understood that this hateful slave was playing tricks on her again.

Bao Shan threw the porcelain bottle of ointment into Wu Li's arms and said softly, "Apply it yourself."

Wu Li didn't care and put the porcelain bottle back into his arms.

Dong Yixiao came in from outside with a smile on his face, and instructed his mother-in-law to boil water for Wu Li to bathe and prepare new clothes. Baoshan came forward and asked puzzledly, "Dad, what good thing happened to you that makes you so happy?"

Dong Yixiao naturally would not hide the treasured fan, and said, "Someone from the slave garden said they wanted to present the Wuli to Princess An Ning."

Dong Yixiao put a lot of effort into bringing Wu Li to Princess An Ning and getting a generous reward.

It was only because he was stopped by the gatekeeper of Princess An Ning's mansion that he thought of taming Wuli and went to the slave garden to ask for taming methods.

Now, he unexpectedly brought Wu Li to Princess An Ning.

Baoshan lowered her beautiful eyes slightly, knowing that she could not stop all this. What was determined by fate could not be changed.

But she and Dong Yixiao are the villains in fate, and she is an insignificant obstacle between the infatuated princess and the down-and-out slave.

In the face of fate, nothing matters and it can naturally be changed.

During these days, Dong Yixiao has become accustomed to carrying the treasure fan with him when traveling.

Therefore, Dong Yixiao casually arranged for the treasure fan and changed into new clothes to avoid losing face in front of Princess An Ning.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with carrying the treasure fan along.

Wu Li took a bath and changed her clothes. Her originally loose hair was tied up by her mother-in-law with a new hairband.

Looking at the brand new Wu Li, the mother-in-law was so surprised that she was speechless.

He has the appearance of an alien, exquisite and gorgeous, and wears the robe of a Central Plains man, but it does not look weird.

The figure covered by the green robe did not look thin at all.

The whole person is like a painting in bold colors, especially the two heterochromatic pupils, which are like the finishing touch, making people unable to take their eyes off.

The mother-in-law whispered, "If you weren't a slave, you would be a perfect match for Miss Baoshan."

She has the same beautiful appearance and is a rare beauty.

Seeing Wu Li dressed up, Baoshan's beautiful eyes trembled and her face became shy.

Wu Li originally looked indifferent, but when he saw Bao Shan's expression, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

In foreign lands, appearance is always just a simple skin. Only those with strong abilities are sought after by the tribe.

Therefore, Wu Li had never carefully examined his own face, and he did not know whether he looked strange in the Central Plains clothing.

Seeing this, Dong Yixiao was also very happy. He was happy that Wu Li was handsome and would definitely be favored by the princess.

Wu Li was taken to the slave garden. He heard the people in the slave garden whispering about whether they had tracked down the trace of Zhuo Er, but in the end there was no news.

Although Zhuo Er is willful, he would not have been imprisoned in the slave garden if his elder brother had not secretly intervened.

Now that he's out of the slave garden, it's impossible to catch Zhuo Er.
