Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 269: Sky-high Price Sauce ( 6 )

Yao Zhi straightened her waist and replied, "I bought them at the border town’s slave market. 20 of them are war captives from the Elamu tribes, and 7 of them are state slaves from Marquis Yongning’s family."

When they heard this, they were shocked. They thought that the slaves she bought were ordinary slaves. They never expected them to be state slaves.

Lu Qianxuan frowned and said, "Even if you give them new identities, the government has their paintings and information. People from the Elamu tribes have different eye colors from us. Even if they disguise themselves, their eyes will expose their identity."

"General, I have my own way to make sure that no one will know that they are state slaves," Yao Zhi said confidently.

With the silicone masks and contact lenses, it was not impossible to change their features and eye color.

Meeting her firm gaze, Lu Qianxuan’s interest was piqued, and he said, "It seems that Young Master Lei is more capable than I thought."

"The General is overpraising," Yao Zhi said calmly.

After a long silence, Lu Qianxuan finally said, "It’s not impossible for me to help you with this matter. But what benefit can I get?"

Yao Zhi understood that this matter was risky, and if exposed, the entire General’s mansion would be dragged into trouble. She thought for a moment and asked, "What does the General want in return?"

Lu Qianxuan tapped his fingers on the armrest for a while before he said, "I can’t think of anything yet. How about you give me a promise instead?"

Raising her eyebrows, Yao Zhi smiled and replied, "General, I’m a merchant, and I don’t do unprofitable business." After she said this, she added, "How about I give you a small bottle of spiritual spring water when this matter is done?"

When he heard her words, Lu Qianxuan burst out laughing and said, "Young Master Lei, I don’t believe in mystical things. Don’t try to fool me using this nonsense."

Yao Zhi was not offended by his words and said, "Whether my words are nonsense or not, the General can just try the wound ointment or the moisturizing cream."

"What does this matter have anything to do with those things?"

"To tell you the truth, I did buy the ointment and cream from the divine physician. But I added a few drops of spiritual spring water into them to enhance the effect," Yao Zhi said casually.

Lu Qianxuan was skeptical of her words, but he was also curious. So, he opened the moisturizing cream jar and put a little bit on the back of his hand.

He rubbed it for a moment, and the cream was absorbed. A few seconds later, his eyes widened when he saw that the area where he had put the cream was whiter than before. The skin was smooth and supple like a baby’s skin.

Seeing this, his eyes flickered, and he asked, "Where did you get this so-called spiritual spring water?"

Yao Zhi took her seat and asked him back, "Does the General know about the Nuwa clan?"

The moment he heard this, Lu Qianxuan stood up and asked, "Are you a descendant of the Nuwa clan?"

Instead of answering him, Yao Zhi smiled and said, "Since the General knows about it, then you should also know the capability of this clan."

When he found out about the magical effect of the spiritual spring water, it would be a lie if he said that he didn’t want to obtain it.

If he could buy it, he would buy it. If he couldn’t buy it, he wouldn’t mind using force. But now that this person revealed her background, going against her might put his entire family in danger.

Before his family was exterminated, his grandfather once told him that if he met people from the Nuwa clan, he should never offend them, as even the royal family was at their mercy.

His back was covered with cold sweat when he recalled his grandfather’s warning. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything rash and offend this person.

Now, he finally understood why she had to disguise herself. The members of the Nuwa clan didn’t interfere with mortal affairs, or they would face punishment from their elders.

It took him a while to calm down, and he said, "Young Master Lei, I will do my best to help you with this matter."

Yao Zhi nodded with satisfaction. "Good. When this matter is settled, I will fulfill my promise." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This time, Lu Qianxuan no longer maintained his arrogant attitude and bowed to her. "Alright."

When she saw the mighty male lead bowing to her, Yao Zhi felt weak in her knees. But she had used the identity of a Nuwa clan descendant, so she had to keep up her act.

Yao Zhi handed her slaves’ deeds to him and left the General’s mansion. She wasn’t worried that he would use those deeds to stab her in the back since she noticed Lu Qianxuan’s fear when she mentioned the Nuwa clan.

After leaving the General’s mansion, Yao Zhi went to the warehouse to check the situation. When she arrived, she went to the land and saw Ling Yi and his brothers working with the workers. She looked at the wall surrounding the land and nodded with satisfaction.

Noticing her visit, Luo Bo quickly stopped what he was doing and walked over. He cupped his hands, bowed to her, and said, "Greetings, Young Master."

Yao Zhi returned his greeting before she asked, "How is the progress?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, we can finish the work today."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi nodded and asked, "Is the money enough?"

Luo Bo took out a small ledger from his clothes and handed it to her while saying, "Young Master, besides the initial 127 workers, we added 158 workers on the 5th day of work to speed up the process."

"The total wages for 9 days are 58 taels of silver and 590 wen. The wages for the bodyguards are 112 taels and 500 wen. As for the materials, it totals 350 taels of silver and 780 wen."

"You gave me 500 taels of silver before. After deducting the cost, it still lacks 21 taels of silver and 870 wen."

Yao Zhi checked the ledger while she listened to Luo Bo’s report.
