Chapter 1341: Chapter 1341: Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Land

As the Duke of Night Raven said, everyone here has their own specialty, be it an exotic race or a special profession.

In some places it may not be significant, but here, the myriad cultivation systems across the world inevitably draw interested people.

For most people from the Bei Luo Empire, seers from Da Bang Country, ninjas, and Onmyoji from Dongying are all professions of great interest.

And for races that are naturally exceptional like vampires, they attracted countless gazes.

However, these slaves pale in comparison to the Xia Country Monk who was discovered hidden in a corner.

Monks are a rare presence even in Xia Country.

There are a few among the Ancient Clan, a few among the Great noble families, and the Four major Taoist sects make up the majority.

These monks, no matter which group they belong to, are of noble origin, and few dare imprison them if they come to harm, as exposure could invite the targeting of a monk’s aristocratic family.

After all, in the system of cultivation, aside from martial artists who are acknowledged to be the hardest to reach the pinnacle, there are few paths that reach the peak like the monks do.

Revenge from an Earth Immortal is something that no power can withstand, even on a national level, there are few countries that dare say they won’t be affected at all.

So even though there is a grey area of human trafficking underground in various countries, monks are a category that almost never appears.

Within the exclusive auction of Night Raven, the appearance of a monk naturally drew the attention of most people, and even those who did not believe they had the purchasing power did not let that stop them from gathering around to watch the excitement.

And Su Chengyu, whose attention was drawn by the commotion over there, was completely stunned on the spot when he saw her.

He never imagined that one day he would see this woman here again.

"How is this Xia Country name pronounced? Is there anyone here who understands the Xia language?"

"Fang... Qing."

Being too far to see the nameplate on the iron cage, Su Chengyu confirmed the woman’s identity upon hearing the name.

The woman before him was none other than Fang Qing, who had gained Enlightenment and begun her path of cultivation because of him.

Fang Qing, imprisoned in the cage, looked visibly haggard, but her Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation was completely sealed by a few Soul-suppressing nails, and she sat on the ground as weakly as an ordinary person.

The gazes from all around made her clearly afraid, huddled in the furthest corner of the cage with her head lowered tightly, unwilling to look up.

Seeing Fang Qing in such a state, Su Chengyu’s heart clenched; he didn’t dare to imagine what she had gone through to change from her former self to the current cautious appearance.

"Duke Sir, if we purchase this woman, we won’t encounter any trouble, will we?"

A cautious seller immediately spoke up, a woman wearing a half-mask on her face slowly walked down from the highest point of the castle and said softly: "Ladies and Gentlemen, rest assured, we’ve conducted detailed background checks on all the slaves here, I can’t say their people won’t come to trouble you, but at least, I will let you know who will."

After the Duke of Night Raven’s words, everyone immediately understood.

It was a clear message that if you can’t deal with the trouble, then don’t buy it.

This immediately reduced the buyers’ desire to purchase by a large margin, and at this time, the lady of Night Raven spoke again: "However, I can also assure you, since I dare to sell these people here, their backgrounds won’t be entirely too much for you to handle. The back of the nameplate contains detailed background information, which you may check for yourselves."

The crowd gathered in front of Fang Qing’s iron cage immediately stepped forward to flip her nameplate and saw Fang Qing’s detailed background information.

Although Su Chengyu couldn’t see the nameplate, he heard many things about the Fang Family from the whispers of those people.

His eyes narrowed, landing on the Duke of Night Raven, and a hint of murderous intent flashed.

"What do you intend to do?"

The voice of You Ming suddenly rang out behind Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly: "Can I kill this woman?"

"Within the castle there are at least two Martial Gods, and behind the underground black market of Linbei City there exists a Land Immortal. Even if you manage to escape this place, you won’t be able to take that woman away from Linbei City."

A bucket of cold water seemed to drench Su Chengyu’s head as You Ming spoke these words.

Although Su Chengyu was furious, he hadn’t lost his reason. He was well aware that even if he joined forces with You Ming and Mo Ningchen, they would still stand no chance against a Land Immortal.

"Do you know that Fang Qing?" You Ming noticed Su Chengyu’s unusual behavior and asked.

In a soft voice, Su Chengyu said, "It’s because of me that she ascended the path."

You Ming instantly understood.

For cultivators, two people in their lives are of utmost importance.

The Path-Protector and the Teacher.

Anyone who aids you on your cultivation journey can be considered a Path-Protector, like how Su Chengyu helped Ye Qingci become an Earth Immortal, which is a form of protection.

It was because of this relationship that Ye Qingci did not need to be so cautious in defending Su Chengyu in the Capital City, after all, there were the causal ties of protection between them.

And in some sense, the Teacher is even more important than the Path-Protector.

One may have many protectors in a lifetime, but there is only one, or even none, who teaches the Path.

Su Chengyu’s Teacher was his grandfather, Su Linyuan, while a naturally gifted individual like Ye Qingci who was born onto the path had no such Teacher.

But no matter who it is, for a cultivator, the grace of being taught the Path is almost equivalent to that of a disciple and master.

Not to mention the various feelings of guilt Su Chengyu held towards Fang Qing.

Su Chengyu always felt that he owed this woman far too much.

"Since it is merchandise, then it has its price. You dislike the idea of thievery, so why not conduct the transaction through conventional means?"

"This transaction itself is an error."

Su Chengyu stated decisively.

The earlier words about the Heaven-Mending Stone did indeed make Su Chengyu reconsider his thoughts, but in Fang Qing’s eyes, he saw no willingness to be sold.

In that moment, Su Chengyu truly understood what it was he could not accept deep down.

People can set a price tag for themselves, sell their labor, their value, or even themselves.

But this price should never be decided by someone else!

"I want this person. No matter who bids, I will join in."

Su Chengyu’s decisive words attracted everyone’s attention.

The gaze of the Duke of Night Raven also landed on Su Chengyu, and after sizing him up, he asked, "You are a Xia Citizen?"

"Yes."

Su Chengyu replied calmly. No matter what identity he used, the fact that he was a Xia Citizen was definitely not something he could hide.

The Lady of Night Raven smiled and said, "For someone from the same country to purchase, they must pay double the price."

Su Chengyu’s expression darkened as he was about to speak, but the Duke of Night Raven explained first.

"Do not misunderstand, sir. I am not targeting you. This is merely a precaution, for if she were bought by someone from her country and taken back, I might suffer the vengeance of the people behind her.

After all, I am here to trade in human lives, not to be a kidnapper for ransom."
