96: Section 96
Previously, when she heard Chu Mo wanted to buy her, she thought he was interested in her and was wondering how to escape.
But unexpectedly, when she met Chu Mo's gaze, she found it to be so clear.
She could feel it.
This man, with his magnificent demeanor, eyes as clear as snow, and looking like an immortal, had no evil intentions towards her.
Precisely because of this.
At this moment, she was stunned.
Then she stopped struggling, obediently let Chu Mo lead her, and left the brokerage.
“Brother, what is this?”
At this moment.
Chu Rou, who had been standing by silently, finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
“Seeing her pitiful, I bought her back.”
Chu Mo naturally couldn't reveal the real reason, so he said casually.
Fortunately, Chu Rou didn't ask any more questions, just said “Oh.”
At this moment.
Chu Rou had also played enough, and the group headed back to the Chu Family.
Not long after Chu Mo took A'nu back.
At the brokerage in the market.
A young man ran over, panting.
He looked very young, but quite sunny. Although his clothes were old and patched, they were washed very clean.
Upon arriving here.
The young man saw the old woman who ran the brokerage and immediately smiled, saying, “Hello, Granny Liu, I came to play with A'nu, where is she?”
“It’s Xiao Tian!”
Seeing the young man, the old woman greeted him, and then happily said, “Let me tell you, a noble person came today and bought A'nu…”
“Bought her?”
Listening to Granny Liu’s words, the smile on the young man’s face immediately froze.
It took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face: “How could she be bought? Granny Liu, how could you sell A'nu!”
As soon as these words came out, Granny Liu was displeased.
She glared, yelling, “I open my doors for business, why can’t I sell? Besides, he offered Spirit Stones, a whole Spirit Stone, worth hundreds of taels of silver. Only a fool wouldn’t sell!”
The young man wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.
Finally, he just asked anxiously, “When was A'nu bought?”
“Just now, they just left not long ago, and you arrived!”
Granny Liu said.
Then.
Seeing his pale face, she was afraid he would do something reckless and disturb the important person, which would be a minor issue, but if it implicated her, it would be terrible. So she quickly advised, “Xiao Tian, you come every day during this time, often talking to A'nu. I know you have some affection for her, but what can you do as a poor boy?”
“The noble person who bought A'nu has a strong aura; he is clearly a truly important figure. A'nu being taken back by him means she will live a life of comfort from now on. You, don’t think too much!”
“It’s better to learn a skill well and find a way to save money for a wife in the future!”
Granny Liu advised.
But the young man completely ignored her, just ran off, searching everywhere for A'nu’s whereabouts.
However.
He ran through several streets but still couldn't find that small figure.
Finally.
He sat on the ground, exhausted, his eyes dazed.
“A'nu, where are you…”
He murmured, feeling an emptiness in his heart, as if something extremely important to him had just disappeared.
A'nu was feeling very strange now.
She was brought back to the Chu Family by Chu Mo, then served by many maids who helped her bathe and change into new clothes. A beautiful older sister named Chuan'er even personally combed her hair.
After this whole process was completed, she was led to a quiet courtyard and saw the man who had bought her again.
“Not bad.”
“After tidying up, she indeed looks much more pleasing to the eye.”
The man observed her for a moment and smiled gently.
A'nu didn't speak, just stood in place, a little constrained.
She didn't know what would happen to her next, and she felt a little uneasy.
“What is your name?”
At this moment, the other party asked.
Upon hearing this.
A'nu hesitated, then after a moment, she whispered, “I don’t have a name, but Granny Liu calls me A'nu.”
“Do you have any other relatives?”
“All gone.”
A'nu shook her head.
“Since that’s the case… then you can follow me from now on. I still lack a Sword Attendant by my side, so you will take on that role!”
The man said with a smile.
A'nu didn't know what a Sword Attendant was.
However, seeing the man's gentle smile, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “Yes.”
Subsequently.
The man asked a few more questions, and she answered each one.
Then, seeing that it was getting late, the other party had the beautiful older sister named Chuan'er take her to rest.
However, before leaving, she heard the man say again: “A'nu is not a pleasant name. I will give you a name; from now on, you will be called Chu Lianxing!”
…
Leaving the courtyard.
A'nu was led by Older Sister Chuan'er to a very elegant and secluded room.
“This is your room. You can stay here for now. Also, there are maids at the door; if you need anything, you can call them directly!”
The beautiful older sister named Chuan'er said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out.
A'nu was a little stunned: “I’m staying here?”
“What, is it a bit simple?”
Chuan'er said, “This is a temporarily prepared room. For now, you can only make do with staying here. Once we return to Taihua Peak of the Holy Land, we will arrange a new residence for you.”
“No, it’s not.”
A'nu waved her hands repeatedly, saying, “I mean, I’m just a servant maid, I shouldn’t be living in a side room or a woodshed. This place…”
She looked at the elegant room around her, and the exquisite furnishings, seeming a little flustered.
As soon as these words came out.
Zhao Chan immediately chuckled softly.
“Sister Lianxing, it seems you haven’t properly understood your status yet!”
Her expression became serious, and she said earnestly, “The Young Master is a true disciple of Taichu Holy Land, and in the future, he is even expected to become a true disciple of Taichu Holy Land. His status is extremely noble, and countless people wish to become the Young Master's followers but cannot!”
“And you, you have become the Young Master’s Sword Attendant. Do you understand what this means?”
At this point.
She paused, then added, “This means… no matter what your previous status was, from now on, you will be looked up to by countless people! Even the Sect Master of a School, or even the Clan Chief of a great Family, will treat you with respect, do you understand?!”
A'nu’s face was blank, and she subconsciously shook her head.
Seeing this.
Zhao Chan said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I will teach you slowly in the future. One day, you will know how fortunate it is to be chosen as a Sword Attendant by the Young Master!”
“So, even if you don’t understand now, you must remember to diligently serve the Young Master, okay?”
