Chapter 49 - Behind The Auction House



Feeling the stare that Lin Shen Yu was giving to her, Lin Xiaofei turned to look at him.

"What?" She said it in a tone that sounded like she was giving him a favor of wasting her breath to speak to him.

"Nothing…" Lin Shen Yu avoided her gaze and looked ahead, "What item does cousin want to buy?"

Lin Xiaofei didn\'t reply to him.

What item did she want to buy?

Of course, it was something essential to her plan that will surely give a surprise to Yu Fangzhu.

She looked down the stage and saw that some of the people working for the auction were rushing and looked tensed as the second batch ends.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei stood up from her seat and walked towards a young girl who was standing at the entrance.

Lin Shen Yu was confused about her sudden actions and followed her..

"Cousin, where are you going this time?" Lin Shen Yu wanted to pull her arm but because someone bumped to him, he was unable to take a hold of her and was distracted, apologizing to the person he bumped against with.

However, when he turned to look at where Lin Xiaofei was standing, there was only an open space before him and he couldn\'t see where the figure of his cousin.

He looked around but still, there were no signs of her.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaofei was almost at the entrance and stopped right in front of the girl.

The girl slowly looked up at her and tilted her head in confusion, "Is there something wrong, miss?"

"I heard that there will be an auction today. But I only see items that aren\'t alive that are being sold. Can you take me to the auction house where live ones can be bought and sold?"

The child was shocked at her words and looked around her as if she was scared that someone could hear them.

After checking that no one heard what the young lady before her said just now, the young girl shook her head and said, "Not here. Let\'s go out."

Lin Xiaofei followed the young girl outside and was brought behind the huge tent where a small cottage was.

Because the cottage was behind the huge one, it wasn\'t that eye-catching and only a few were seen entering it.

And unlike the huge tent, the interior of the cottage was darker and narrowed.

"How did you know?" The young girl asked Lin Xiaofei as they were closing at the entrance of the cottage.

Lin Xiaofei didn\'t answer. She knew that the young girl was asking how did she know that by asking the young girl where the live auction was, she would be lead to another place.

The Zheng empire did not allow the buying and selling of live items and anyone who was caught doing this sort of business would be sent to prison directly and will have to pay a huge price.

This law was created by the first emperor of the Zheng empire. However, because of the current emperor, this law was overlooked and many sinners have done businesses like this and escaped without any repercussions.

In the past, Lin Xiaofei found this fact that once there\'s an auction for non-living items, there will always be an auction for the living behind in from her experience when she was still married to Yu Fangzhu.

And by using a child that looked Innocent as a guide, they could avoid being found or questioned by anyone who wants to investigate their activities.

Seeing that she wasn\'t willing to answer, the young girl took Lin Xiaofei inside the cottage.

From the outside, the cottage looked normal and anyone won\'t suspect anything, but once one git inside, they would witness a whole new world.

Usually, the auction house would present the items to be sold on a table. However, it was different from the arrangement of the auction house selling living items.

Rows of cages lined up as soon as they got inside and left Lin Xiaofei speechless. No matter how much she\'s seen it, she couldn\'t help but feel anger and hatred.

Inside the cages, three humans will occupy one cage and was tied to the wall with a chain in their hands and feet.

Regardless of gender and age, the cages were filled with humans and were not treated like one.

Unconsciously, Lin Xiaofei felt terrified of the cages and empathize with the humans inside the cage. After all, she was also caged underground and was tied to a chain for months even after she took her last breath.

Tears started to form in the corner of her eyes as she continued to look. She could see her past self lying inside that cage.

Closing her eyes, she forced down the surge of emotions inside her. Her purpose why she came there wasn\'t to save them or free them. It was to buy one or two of them.

With her capabilities at the moment, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t have the ability nor the wealth to buy all of them and besides, there won\'t be an end of it if she does save them and free them.

Turning away from the hopeful eyes from the people inside the cages, Lin Xiaofei bit the sides of her cheeks till she could taste the tangy and metallic taste of blood spreading in her mouth.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei stopped in her tracks as she noticed a boy with gold hair at the edge of one of the cages they passed.

She backtracked and stopped in front of the cage where the boy with the gold hair was.

She pointed at it and said to the girl, "That one. I\'ll take that boy."
