Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 69 Slaves, Recruitment

The world is not black and white, but a delicate shade of gray.

……

The auction of the Royal Soul Guidance Workshop’s soul guide equipment is held at the auction center.

The auction center is a large auditorium with a circular stage in the center and circles of seats arranged in a radial ring around it.

It is divided into five parts in total. The three rows of seats closest to the stage are red, and the ones outside are black, purple, yellow and white.

The red seats are the so-called million-level VIP area, and only people with status can obtain the red VIP qualification. The black seats are the ordinary million-level VIP area, and anyone with money can enter. The purple seats are the 500,000-level purple VIPs, the yellow seats are the 100,000-level ordinary VIPs, and the outermost white seats, which are also the largest seats, are the most ordinary VIPs.

If only Master Liu Wenzhi was with Chi Ping, they should be in the purple seating area, but they are now sitting in the red trading area because Xue Qinghe heard that Chi Ping was coming to the auction and followed him.

"How do you have time to come here?" The nine-foot tall man Chi Ping, who was sitting next to Xue Qinghe, asked curiously.

Xue Qinghe said mysteriously, "To prevent a good person from causing trouble."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out later."

Liu Wenzhi watched Chi Ping and Xue Qinghe's conversation curiously, feeling strange.

——Is this kid so talented? How could the Crown Prince be so close to him?

It won't be long before the workshop's soul guide will be put up for auction.

Thanks to the host's excellent eloquence, the two high-level soul guides (equivalent to third-level soul guides), seven intermediate soul guides and 15 primary soul guides brought by Liu Wenzhi were all sold at the prices of each, each and each respectively.

Chi Ping calculated that a piece of blue jade should cost about 50 gold soul coins. The shell was worthless, at most 3 gold soul coins. He could earn 97 gold soul coins by making a primary defense soul guide cane.

Ikehira smiled.

He was delighted that his craft was recognized.

The auction continues.

When a cart was pushed onto the stage, Xue Qinghe suddenly felt a biting chill around him.

He pressed Chi Ping's shoulders, but found that Chi Ping did not exert any force.

"Now you know why I came."

Maybe because his face was made of mycelium, Chi Ping had no expression, but his eyes were cold.

"Slave trade!" Chi Ping spat out four words like ice chips.

A slave auction was going on at the stage, and the item for auction was a girl who was dressed up to look extremely erotic.

Xue Qinghe knew that Chi Ping was a good person.

He is a good person who can say things like “everyone is equal”!

He absolutely could not tolerate this kind of transaction where people were treated as commodities.

"You knew about this kind of deal going on here?"

Xue Qinghe nodded and said frankly: "I know, and it's more than that."

Xue Qinghe pointed at the waiter inside.

Chi Ping looked over and found that all the waiters in the venue were young women with hot bodies and revealing clothes.

"These waitresses are civilian women who were bought by the auction house when they were very young. They are not only the service staff here, but also part of the auction. If someone is willing to pay, they can also be bought and sold."

Ikehira stared at the waiter closest to him and unknowingly entered a state of intuition.

She has a beautiful appearance, a delicate face, and gorgeous clothes... but she has no "soul", like an exquisite puppet.

Her character was artificially "castrated", turning her from a human being into a domestic animal.

“Not a… son of man!”

Xue Qinghe nodded, "He is indeed not a good person."

Chi Ping suddenly said in a cold voice, "The Tiandou Empire has expressly prohibited the slave trade."

Xue Qinghe, "But they are not slaves, they are 'employees' who have signed contracts with the auction house. The 'employees' violated the contract and terminated the contract. The buyer paid the 'penalty', and the 'employees' were grateful and spontaneously followed the buyer away. It makes sense, doesn't it? Or let me put it another way, the 'employees' and 'guests' are in love with each other and want to end the contract early and run away with the 'guests'. The 'guests' paid the penalty for the 'employees', and the two of them lived together. It is not only reasonable, but also very romantic.

or……"

Chi Ping held Xue Qinghe's hand.

"do not talk."

Xue Qinghe didn't stop talking and whispered, "They always have various reasons to evade the sanctions of the empire. It's completely reasonable, legal, and compliant!"

After saying this, Xue Qinghe said nothing more.

The two watched in silence as the auction on the stage continued.

The bid for the girl in the cage has reached three hundred thousand. The person making the bid is an old man in fancy clothes in the red VIP area who looks somewhat like Xue Qinghe.

"Royal?"

"Prince Xuexing, my uncle."

"He's not a good guy."

"I know. But I am only the crown prince, not the emperor. I cannot speak disrespectfully to my uncle."

They stopped talking and watched the slave auction end quietly.

They didn't make a bid because they knew that sometimes silence is the most powerful opposition.

Offering a price to buy the girl was the most despicable means. As long as there was a sale, it would encourage the slave trade because the slave traders made money and gained benefits.

"Let's go." Xueqinghe said.

"it is good."

So Xue Qinghe took Chi Ping and Liu Wenzhi away from the auction house. Xue Qinghe temporarily left in the middle of the auction and came back soon with the girl that Prince Xuexing had bought.

Ikehira's breathing was rapid.

Liu Wenzhi seemed to realize that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, so he apologized and left.

Chi Ping gathered mycelium and put a piece of clothing on the girl to hide her extremely outstanding face, and Xue Qinghe took back his coat.

The two men took the girl back to the Prince's Mansion.

Xue Qinghe asked the housekeeper to take her to learn how to do chores.

"Did you arrange today's event?" Chi Ping asked.

"There are arrangements and coincidences." Xue Qinghe replied.

Chi Ping looked at the girl's receding back and said, "You still haven't given up on recruiting me."

“You are the most promising person I have ever met, and you even threatened the Pope with your Soul King status.

How could I give up so easily?

It's not easy to be a crown prince. There are too many people eyeing my position. I need helpers and allies.

There are countless dark industries like auction houses in the Tiandou Empire. Chi Ping, I can promise you that as long as you help me, I will do my best to crush them all!"

How to recruit a good person?
Show him the dark side of the world, and then say that you are determined to change the darkness. Don't be secretive, and openly state your purpose and determination, it will work wonders.

Chi Ping said with a headache, "I swore that I would not get involved in the disputes on the mainland."

Xue Qinghe suddenly laughed, like a fox, or a cunning wolf.

He could see that Chi Ping was beginning to waver.

Xue Qinghe knew the principle of knowing when to stop, so he changed the subject and said, "How is your cultivation going? I see you are busy learning soul guides, don't let this affect your cultivation."

"Level 52. I know the number myself."

Xue Qinghe nodded, feeling emotional.

Xue Qinghe is Ning Fengzhi's disciple. Under his influence, Xue Qinghe should resist slavery.
