Chapter 9 Chapter 9 "Miss, that's not called forcing. ...
After Yao Ning came down the mountain, he exchanged the spiritual stones for human currency and became a wealthy man overnight.
They first went to the village that had encountered the evil spirit before. The Xuanqing Sect had already sent people to deal with it, and the evil spirit had been eliminated. The village even added several protective formations.
The incident happened suddenly that day, and six people in the village died and more than ten were injured. Although Yao Ning had nothing to do with it, she felt guilty. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not good for a man to keep a treasure in his possession, so she only distributed a small part of the money to the families who suffered the disaster, to ensure that they would have enough food and drink for the rest of their lives.
He also set up a formation in a deserted place to pray for the souls of six innocent people who died.
During this period, she investigated for clues left by the evil spirit, but found nothing. The surviving villagers said that everything was normal in those days, and the incident that still frightened people when mentioned was like a bolt from the blue and happened suddenly.
The ghosts that were summoned could not explain why, and they just thought they were cruel monsters causing trouble.
Yao Ning thought that the evil energy was directed at her and the villagers were innocent victims.
She was silent for a long time, and added a barrier to gather spiritual energy to the village's protective formation. The barrier was not overbearing, but it could absorb more spiritual energy to nourish the place, which could slightly extend the lifespan of these villagers.
After finishing everything, Yao Ning left the territory of Xuanqing Sect.
The world was so vast that she didn't know where she should go, so she just followed her heart.
On the way, thinking that he was now a wealthy man, he bought a magnificent carriage. On the front of the carriage were two lanterns with the word "Yao" written in large gold powder, which looked very grand and magnificent.
Yao Ning was very satisfied.
The boss who sold the horse-drawn carriage made a lot of money from Yao Ning and was very satisfied.
The boss flatteringly helped Yao Ning into the carriage, harnessed the horse for her, and said sincerely: "Miss Yao, a noble person like you should have a servant to drive you."
Yao Ning felt that his boss was right, so he went to the pawnshop again, planning to buy a servant for himself.
The pawnshop was located in a prosperous area of the state capital. As soon as Yao Ning came in, the sharp-eyed boss saw that she was good-looking and well-dressed, so he hurried forward to greet her personally.
Yao Ning was taken around for a long time and met many people. He felt that all of them were nice.
Some were clever and eloquent, some were honest and loyal, some were good at observing people's expressions, and some had superb skills. When Yao Ning walked by, most of them lowered their heads and were very respectful. Some of them were smart and came forward to compliment Yao Ning, which made her very happy.
Just when I was happy, a crisp voice hit my ears: "Sister, please buy me, I am better than them."
Yao Ning looked over and was stunned for a moment.
The person who spoke was a thin little girl. The world had been peaceful for more than a decade, and it was no longer the time when Yao Ning was hungry and cold as a child. However, this little girl was so skinny that at first glance you might have thought she was a refugee who had been starving for a long time.
But if you look closely, there is another meaning in this thinness, like a green bamboo, with a bit of gaunt character.
Yao Ning raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "How do you see that?"
The owner of the dental shop was already extremely impatient, but because Yao Ning was beside him, he could only control his temper and scolded, "Adu, stop talking nonsense and being rude to our distinguished guests."
The other servants of the pawnshop nearby also cast looks of disgust at Adu, some implicit and some explicit.
Ah Du seemed to have not heard anything, and blinked his peach blossom eyes: "Sister, are you looking for a driver?"
Yao Ning: "Exactly."
"That requires great strength, the ability to pull the reins and control the wild horse."
A-Du looked around and suddenly kicked the girl next to him away and grabbed the arm of a male servant. The boss was furious: "A-Du!"
Adu ignored the boss and looked at Yao Ning intently, saying seriously, "I'm very strong."
The boss hurriedly shouted to the back hall: "Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
The servant whose arm was grabbed was terrified, with his legs trembling. Adu looked at Yao Ning with a smile, exerted force on his hand, and gently bent it. The servant let out a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered, and his face turned as white as gold paper, and he fainted after a while.
A dozen strong guards in black clothes and shorts rushed in. The boss was furious and anxious. He suppressed his anger and said to Yao Ning: "Dear guest, please go to the front hall and rest for a while. I will deal with this stubborn servant and then apologize to you."
Ah Du said calmly, "Ah Fu's hand is broken. You've already lost a servant, and yet you're still foolish enough to punish me. Two were lost in one day. That would be a lot of silver."
The boss's face was indeed painful when he heard this, but it was obvious that letting a scourge like Adu go would cause greater losses. He immediately wiped his sweat and ignored Yao Ning. He said to the guard: "Tie her up! Send her to the police!"
The guard stepped forward, and A-Du's eyes were stern: "Who dares?"
The fierceness in his eyes seemed as if he was ready to fight for his life, which frightened several guards so much that they stood still for a moment.
Ah Du, wearing the standard grey coat of a servant in a pawnshop, brushed his sleeves and put his hands behind his back: "This distinguished guest has taken a fancy to me, how dare you touch me."
She said it with such confidence that even the boss couldn't help but look at Yao Ning.
Yao Ning had been watching quietly from beginning to end, and now he said, "No."
Adu's face suddenly changed.
Yao Ning pointed and said, "I want him."
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and saw a servant sitting in the corner.
The servant was pale and resting with his eyes closed against a pillar. He looked very weak.
There was chaos here just now, but his posture remained unchanged, and he didn't even look at anyone.
When the boss saw that Yao Ning specifically wanted this person, his face changed for a moment and he raised his hand to cover his forehead.
The man slowly opened his eyes: "You want me?"
Yao Ning nodded.
He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and walked over to Yao Ning. He had a handsome face, but with high cheekbones, he looked a bit mean.
He looked at Yao Ning with a half-smile and said lazily, "Okay, from now on, you are my master."
He is actually very obedient.
Adu said angrily, "Abai bitch, how dare you steal my things!"
As he spoke, he was about to step forward with his fist raised, but Ah Bai dodged it with a flash, and said loudly, "Master, please go first. I will be there shortly."
The boss was extremely anxious and hurriedly ordered the security guards to go up and pull Adu away. Several security guards screamed one after another and everyone was in chaos.
Before leaving, Yao Ning took a look and happened to meet Adu's gaze. The girl was no longer as flattering as before. Her peach blossom eyes were full of cruelty, as if she wanted to tear Yao Ning apart with her eyes.
Yao Ning withdrew his gaze, went to the counter to pay, and went out to get on the carriage.
Half a minute later, Ah Bai came out, his left cheek bruised and swollen, looking like he'd been hit hard. He poked it with his tongue, unconcerned, and jumped in front of the car: "Master, where are we going?"
"Go straight along the official road."
Abai didn't ask any more questions and started driving the carriage in a rather unskillful manner.
The sound of horses' hooves and the rumble of the carriages echoed, the tassels on the four corners fluttered in the wind, and Yao Ning's voice came from the carriage: "Don't call me master, call me something else."
Ah Bai had no objection: "What's your name? You tell me."
Yao Ning thought for a moment and said, "Miss."
Ah Bai turned around and looked at Yao Ning through the gap in the curtains blown by the wind: "Miss?"
Yao Ning: "Don't you think so?"
Abai looked at her twice and nodded seriously: "Miss."
Being bored on the journey, Yao Ning asked A Bai where he was from and why he worked as a prostitute. They chatted idly and before they knew it, the topic turned to Yao Ning.
Maybe because I was talking to a stranger I had just met, I felt less cautious when speaking.
"So, your husband treated you badly, and you ran away because you couldn't stand it?" Abai said after learning that the relationship between Yao Ning and his wife was shallow.
"I'm not sure if that's bad."
"Aren't you a silly woman?"
"Not stupid, actually. I forced him to do that."
After hearing what Yao Ning called coercion, Abai was speechless for a long time. The carriage stopped and he lifted the curtain, with a hint of smile and ridicule in his eyes.
"Miss, that's not called coercion," Abai said. "It's more like sacrifice."
Sacrifice? Yao Ning leaned her head on the lathe, the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds passing through her eyes. She smiled gently: "Abai, what if it were you? What would you do?"
Ah Bai started driving the carriage again and snorted, "I would never fall in love with such a person."
"Why?"
Ah Bai leaned against the side of the carriage, one leg bent, one hand holding the whip, the other resting idly on his knee. Yao Ning narrowed his eyes, his posture rather carefree and arrogant, making Ah Bai look less like a poor servant in a prostitution shop.
Ah Bai whipped the horse gently, sending it running. His tone was still mocking, and his words lacked the humble respect of a servant. "You treated him with all your heart and sincerity, but he never took you seriously. The difference between you two is obvious. You are a heartless and cold-blooded person, and you are inferior to him."
Yao Ning didn't expect that there could be a ranking of superiority in matters of love. This person actually has the style of the senior sister.
"I never look down on people who are not as good as me, I will never look at them, and I will never fall for them."
Yao Ning nodded: "Although your words are a bit biased, if you have such a mentality, you can live a happy life."
Abai sighed, realizing that even if Yao Ning agreed with his words, they would not be able to ease Yao Ning's sorrow. He glanced at the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, his eyes already filled with a hint of contempt, and a little bit of pity that he himself was not aware of.
"Miss, he doesn't love you, he doesn't love anyone else, he only loves himself."
Yao Ning understood, and she said, "Thank you for comforting me."
He did not comfort her, but just told her the facts. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused. He felt that if this woman indulged in love and refused to change, it would be a kind of loss.
It's strange. We met on the first day and apart from being a little good-looking, there's nothing special about her.
Abai felt that he was out of his mind. Why did he say so much to a stranger?
When the carriage passed through the town, Yao Ning asked Abai to buy some food and some decent clothes. When he took out the silver, Abai's eyes flashed: "You are not short of money."
In the human world, cultivators can go without food and sleep in the wilderness, but Yao Ning was born in the common people and is used to three meals a day, so he still needs money and naturally cannot be lacking.
She was very generous to Abai and gave him much more money than he needed to spend. Abai was not polite and put the extra money directly into his pocket.
After changing his clothes, Abai no longer looked like a coachman, but rather a rich young man.
Yao Ning glanced at me and said, "Since you are serving me now, please take away that disdainful look of yours, so that passersby won't think I am some important person and attract their attention."
Ah Bai was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. The prince bowed slightly and said, "Yes."
He added, "Miss."
