Chapter 215 So they have a Ghost Lord!
The vendors were shocked and angry, and passersby made a fuss.
In short, that was the reaction, and Su Yu found it very boring.
But this shopkeeper, who had previously invoked the Ghost Market's name to attract customers, still possessed some shrewdness. He confronted Su Yu without backing down, asking, "Who are you to speak on behalf of the Ghost Market like this! Even if the Ghost Market really wants my goods, they still have to pay! I'm doing legitimate business on Ghost Market territory. Do you think the Ghost Market can just rob me like that?!"
After saying this, he turned to look at the surrounding vendors: "Today I was the one who got robbed of my goods, but who knows when it will be everyone else's turn!"
His words caused a subtle stir among the surrounding vendors.
But they didn't get a chance to do anything; the ghost market patrol team that suddenly entered the sales area to confiscate goods was enough to keep them busy.
In an instant, a cacophony of foul language and insults filled the air.
"What the hell are you doing at this ghost market! Are you looking for trouble?!"
"My goods! Let go of them! Give them back to me!"
At first glance, it seemed a bit tragic, but before the other vendors could even feel a sense of impending doom, one of the patrol members unfolded a roll of inventory nearby and showed it to them.
It is a list of prohibited goods for trade.
"The Ghost Market does not allow the sale of intelligent species. This rule was established more than ten years ago. Have you all forgotten it?!"
The vendors and customers nearby looked closely and confirmed that the date on the scroll was correct, so they abandoned their idea of making a scene and demanding an explanation from the ghost market.
If someone in the ghost market is innocent and has a valid point, then they're not so easy to talk to.
Come to think of it, there seems to be such a list at the Ghost Market, but they somehow forgot about it.
Many customers who did business at the ghost market secretly gasped, reminding themselves that they absolutely must not forget this thing again.
The patrolman holding the list scroll appeared calm and intimidating, but his palms were actually sweating.
To be honest, even the people in the ghost market themselves have forgotten about this list.
It wasn't until the captain suddenly received a message and order from the Ghost Lord that they realized in a flash that they also had prohibited items for trade, and that they did have a Ghost Lord!
The patrol captain had already spotted the location of the undisguised demon lord and immediately led his men there to seize the stall and confiscate the slaves.
Of course, the one who moved even faster and got closest to Su Yu was the manager of this ghost market.
A kind and amiable middle-aged man surnamed Liao.
Captain Liao lowered his head slightly, his voice trying his best to hide his excitement and unease: "Does the master have any further instructions?"
Good heavens! The elusive Ghost Lord has actually come to their territory in the lower spirit realm!
But contraband has appeared in the ghost market he manages! How will the Ghost Lord punish him? Will he take his life?
Manager Liao felt uneasy and somewhat wronged. He had no idea what had happened to him before, as he had completely ignored the list of contraband. He was always very careful.
Su Yu pointed her finger in the air, not directly at the people she had snatched from the slave traders, and transmitted her voice:
The training camp is where the Ghost Market cultivates its own people or demons; they are basically raised from a young age.
Su Yu glanced one last time at the still chaotic scene, then headed towards the Ghost Market's private domain without a second thought.
The content of the message just now was indeed not suitable to be said directly. If it were said, who knows if someone would deliberately abandon children and elderly people in the ghost market for them to support.
Liao, the captain, agreed politely. After watching Su Yu walk away, he immediately started yelling at the little rascals to hurry up and get to work.
Although he doesn't know what the consequences will be for him, at least for now, he has to get things sorted out for the ghost.
In the spacious and comfortable office, Su Yu, adhering to the principle of "since I'm already here," casually flipped through the ledgers of the Ghost Market and began to conduct random checks.
Take this opportunity to calm down.
...It can't be quiet for a moment.
"Damn that Demon Abyss Spirit!" Su Yu cursed abruptly and expressionlessly.
The black cat immediately jumped onto the table and hissed at him:
Su Yu: "All I know is that my ghost market has returned to what it was before because of you."
The black cat shut up and stopped hissing at him.
Su Yu held out her hand: "Pay up."
A pile of rare and precious stones appeared on the table again.
Su Yu accepted it with a sense of satisfaction.
The operation to divide the ghost market was quite efficient. After Su Yu stayed in the office for a while, Director Liao came to report the results to him.
Everything else is fine, except that there are some people who have difficulty finding a place to go.
The slaves seized from the slave traders included not only those who were healthy and ready for sale, but also those who had been returned or exchanged for various reasons.
This includes drug slaves that were damaged by the buyer within the return period, and disabled training partners, etc.
These people didn't have much manpower, and Liao, the leader, wasn't sure if the ghost master wanted to do this charity, so after temporarily settling the people in, he came to ask for instructions.
The ghost master said he would treat those he could, and if they could be saved, he would leave them a job to pay off their debts; if they couldn't be saved, he would provide some end-of-life care.
"And another thing," Liao hesitated slightly before speaking, "that blind child you happened to meet wants to see you."
"See me?" Su Yu put down the ledger in her hand, showing some interest. "Is there a reason?"
Manager Liao shook his head: "He will only talk if he sees you."
Originally, the subordinates didn't want to get involved, since their Ghost Lord wasn't someone anyone could just see whenever they wanted. But considering that it was related to the Ghost Lord, they didn't dare to make a decision on their own and simply reported it.
Whether the Ghost Lord sees them or not is none of their concern.
After a few moments of silence, Su Yu tapped her fingertips lightly on the table twice: "Bring him here."
Commander Liao accepted the order and left.
When they returned, a blind boy, now dressed in clean clothes, followed behind them.
Manager Liao used a long strip of thin cloth in his hand to guide him forward and stand opposite Su Yu. He then whispered, "Your Excellency, the person has been brought. I will take my leave now."
Inside the room, Mo Yuanling was already asleep, her eyes half-closed on the table. Xiao Qi remained silent, but quietly started taking pictures of her host encountering the child again.
Su Yu patted the black cat's head beside her, gave it a quick look, and determined that the child was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. When she spoke again, her tone was a little gentler: "Why do you want to see me?"
The little blind man knelt down without saying a word.
He licked his chapped lips and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I am a member of the Medicine Clan, and my flesh and blood are highly nourishing. You may use me as you wish, but I have only one request."
"I beg you, sir, to find my sister."
Su Yu fell silent, sat back, and felt that something was wrong with the child: "...I don't eat people."
But the blind man continued, "The Medicine Clan are half-human, half-demon, so they are not considered human."
Su Yu began to feel that this was a difficult situation.
What's wrong with this child?!
Su Yu tried to change the subject: "What's your name? How did you go blind?"
The blind boy said, "My name was naturally given by an adult, and my eyes were blinded when my former buyer ordered me to try an unfamiliar martial art and something went wrong."
After all, they are mixed-race. Even if their race can survive by relying on the little talent inherited from their demon bloodline, it is very easy for them to go wrong if they rashly try to cultivate human techniques.
But that wasn't the main problem. Taking advantage of the child's blindness, Su Yu covered his head as if in pain and said, "His name before he was captured as a slave."
This kid is clearly trying to shut me down completely because he's his subordinate.
Even if they didn't know he was the Ghost Lord, they would have realized that he held a high position in the Ghost Market.
Su Yu didn't reject his cleverness, nor did he refuse to join him; in fact, he admired his courage. However, the way this kid joined him was indeed a bit strange.
Let me repeat myself: he doesn't want slaves, he doesn't eat humans, demons, or hybrids, and he refuses to consume other intelligent beings of his own kind, okay?
Please answer yes.
