Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

He took out the "Red-Scaled Purple Bamboo" he had previously acquired from his storage ring and stuck it into the ground.

“In a few days, I will be going out on business. In addition to your daily practice, you have another task.”

Han Feng pointed to the plants in the courtyard.

"Try to learn how to feed them."

"The relevant information is all written in the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants, and I will also give you a list of precautions tomorrow."

Lin Xian'er listened attentively.

"Okay, Master."

After agreeing, Lin Xian'er asked again:

"Master, how long are you going to be gone?"

Han Feng thought for a moment.

"It will probably take about half a month. I will come back then."

So don't be lazy!

Lin Xian'er nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Master, I won't slack off!"

Han Feng smiled and took out a token from his pocket, handing it to his apprentice.

"When I'm not around, you need to learn to protect yourself. This is a protective token that can release a protective shield in times of crisis."

Lin Xian'er carefully put away the token and hid it in a concealed place inside her clothes.

"Alright, go back inside. Your teacher has some errands to run outside."

Han Feng called his apprentice away and then left the courtyard.

There is a special market for servants in the desert city. Some servants have been officially trained, while others are recommended by themselves.

When Han Feng arrived at this place, he saw simple official facilities. There was a gate marked "Trading Point," and on the other side were two rows of servants waiting to be bought.

With a quick glance, Han Feng subtly deduced the character and habits of different people from their varying reactions.

The saying "your appearance reflects your heart" is true, especially under Han Feng's gaze, which was imbued with a soul-powerful aura; some people's pretenses simply couldn't be hidden.

After looking around, Han Feng couldn't find a servant he particularly liked.

This is normal, after all, it's a small city like Mocheng, where the quality of servants is often not that high.

Even the few valuable ones will be picked over, and Han Feng isn't the only one with a discerning eye.

However, just as Han Feng was about to ask the Mittel Auction House to help him find a suitable candidate, a thin, ragged green-haired woman walked into the exchange with a child who was one or two years old.

She found an empty spot, took out the sign, and held it up.

This is the first time I've seen someone bring a child to the servants' exchange.

Han Feng walked closer and saw that the sign read, "I can do any job, the salary is 10 copper coins a day."

Extremely cheap labor; looking at the woman's frail body, Han Feng worried that she might collapse at any moment.

How many days has it been since I've had a proper meal?

Han Feng shifted his gaze to the child beside him and noticed that the child was looking at him with an extremely eager expression.

The child's entire body was wrapped in coarse cloth, leaving only half of his face exposed. This kind of attire was not unusual in Mocheng.

"look up."

Han Feng said.

The green-haired woman trembled violently, then timidly raised her head.

On the other person's right cheek, there was a hideous scar.

The woman glanced at Han Feng briefly before quickly looking away, her inferiority complex almost overflowing from her eyes.

Indeed, Han Feng, with his handsome face and imposing presence, and the woman kneeling on the ground in tattered clothes, seemed like two distinct worlds at first glance.

A few seconds later, seemingly for the sake of survival, the green-haired woman raised her head and stubbornly looked at Han Feng.

"Sir, do you need a servant?"

That look in your eyes is interesting. Han Feng smiled and said, "You don't seem like you're very capable?"

The green-haired woman immediately said, "I can cook, I can clean, I can sew... I, I can read, I've been to school, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone interrupted him.

"Sir, don't believe her. She used to be a young lady from a wealthy family, but she was kidnapped by snake people. We don't even know how dirty she is, and she definitely can't do any work!"

The man's eyes were filled with arrogance and contempt as he looked at the green-haired woman.

It's as if finding a point of comparison can boost one's confidence and pride.

They are all servants for sale.

Han Feng had no interest in even looking at the man, and instead took out a silver coin and placed it in the green-haired woman's hand.

"Come with me, I happen to need a servant."

The green-haired woman's previously dimmed eyes suddenly lit up. She hurriedly stood up from the ground, but because she was too thin, she stumbled and fell back down.

The child beside her anxiously helped his mother up, and the green-haired woman gritted her teeth and finally managed to stand firm.

"Tch, he doesn't even have the strength to stand up, yet he has the nerve to be a servant."

"Someone nearby said jealously."

Anyone with eyes can see that Han Feng must be either rich or noble.

If you were to follow the other party, even as a servant, it would definitely be a great opportunity.

The green-haired woman held the child's hand and looked at Han Feng cautiously.

Han Feng was completely unconcerned about the sarcastic remarks made by the women.

He trusts what he sees more than what others say.

Even if a kind person is as humble as dust or as ferocious as a demon, the kindness in their eyes cannot be hidden.

From what others said, Han Feng could roughly deduce what had happened to the green-haired woman.

In the Dou Qi Continent, where strength reigns supreme, the weak are helpless in this way.

Han Feng walked out of the exchange, with the green-haired woman following closely behind him, as if afraid of getting lost.

Passersby glanced at Han Feng and the woman behind him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"You're quite famous, huh?"

Han Feng smiled and said to the green-haired woman.

One sentence made the green-haired woman feel ashamed. She lowered her head and said in a voice full of apology, "Master, I'm sorry."

Han Feng felt a little awkward being addressed as "master," and he replied, "You don't need to apologize; I don't care about that."

The three of them returned to the courtyard. After entering, Han Feng asked the green-haired woman to wash up first.

When Lin Xian'er saw that her master had brought two people back, she stood to the side and watched curiously.

"Master, who are they?"

"We hired someone to clean the room."

"what?"

Lin Xian'er touched her head.

"Master, I can clean too."

"Just focus on your cultivation; someone else will take care of these miscellaneous tasks."

"Oh."

Lin Xian'er nodded in agreement.

After washing up, the green-haired woman led the child out of the bathhouse.

Seeing that the two were still wearing their old, dirty clothes, Han Feng said, "Sorry, I forgot to buy you new clothes."

"Owner?!"

The green-haired woman was surprised that Han Feng actually apologized to them, and shook her head repeatedly.

"Just wear this for now."

Han Feng took out a robe from his storage ring and placed it in the green-haired woman's hand. At the same time, he asked Lin Xian'er to take out a new piece of clothing and place it in the child's hand.

The green-haired woman blushed and bowed to Han Feng. Then she took the child back to the bathhouse, changed her clothes, and came out wearing new clothes.

The child, whose body had been mostly covered, finally revealed his true appearance.

She was a little girl with green hair as well.

Compared to her mother's thin face, the little girl was very healthy, with rosy cheeks and a natural innocence.

Lin Xian'er's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the other person.

Children always like to find playmates, and it seems that the cute little girl has caught Lin Xian'er's eye.

"Xian'er, take the little girl out to play first."

"Okay, Master!"

Lin Xian'er ran over, took the little girl's hand, and walked out with her.

The little girl looked at her mother, and after the mother nodded, she followed Lin Xian'er away.

Only the green-haired woman and Han Feng remained in the room.

thump!

The green-haired woman suddenly knelt down.

"Master, thank you for taking us in!"

For the woman, there was no place for her to stand in the entire desert city.

Her family was killed by snake people, and she was disfigured and defiled. She barely made it back to Mo City alive, only to find that she was pregnant. In the end, she gave birth to a child with snake-human blood, and became the most hated person in Mo City.

Despite her kind nature, she still dotes on her child, but having lost her footing and being targeted by everyone, she is no longer able to support two people.

For the women, Han Feng's willingness to buy them was already an immense blessing.

“I don’t care about your past, so you don’t need to belittle yourself. The reason I bought you is simple: a person who is so hungry that he is skin and bones, yet still raises his child to be plump and healthy, must be a good child-taker.”

Han Feng said, "I will give you enough money. Your responsibility is to take good care of my apprentice and your daughter."

Tears welled in the eyes of the green-haired woman, and she bowed to Han Feng again in gratitude.

"Okay, tell me your name."

Han Feng stepped forward to help the other person up, as he was somewhat unaccustomed to others bowing and scraping before him.

“I… this servant, my name is Ye Qingyun.”

Seeing that the woman remained reserved, Han Feng knew that it would be difficult to change her mindset in a short time.

"Qingyun, let's eat first, we can talk about other things after we finish eating."

"Yes, Master, I'll do it right away!"

Ye Qingyun immediately bowed and said.

"No need, I've already bought it."

Han Feng took out the food he had bought from his storage ring.

"I'll try your cooking again tomorrow."

On the other hand, Lin Xian'er was communicating with the little girl very smoothly.

Under Lin Xian'er's gentle words, the little girl spoke freely.

Her name is Qinglin. She has been living with her mother all these years, and it seems that no one in the city likes them.

My mother said I must cover my arms so that no outsiders can see them.

At this point, the little girl hugged her arms to hide them.
