They came out unarmed, and now they can only stare at each other in disbelief.
"What do we do now?" Liu Yubai asked, exuding an air of dejection.
Although none of her companions blamed Liu Yubai, Liu Yubai still believed in her heart that the whole thing was her fault.
He wanted to help them, but now they're all tied up and facing the fate of being sold.
Seeing Liu Yubai's self-blame in the tag, Lin Junyuan said, "Yubai, you don't need to blame yourself. All five of us share responsibility for this."
"You don't need to blame yourself for everything."
Liu Yubai raised his head, and the grown man's eyes welled up with tears. He said, "How can you not blame me? It's all because of me that you..."
The other four exchanged glances, all looking rather helpless. Xu Yun'er said, "Well, the four of us helped back then, so if you're going to blame someone, none of us got a share."
Liu Yubai wanted to retort, but Xu Yun'er said, "If you're going to blame yourself, then blame the four of us too."
This time, Liu Yubai finally fell silent. Lin Shao said, "That's right. Moreover, we shouldn't be discussing who should be blamed for this, but rather how we should escape."
"Okay." Liu Yubai vowed in his heart that once they were out of danger, he would make those two pay the price.
However, after discussing for a long time, the group still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.
About an hour later, the door was opened, and this time, not only the two people from before entered, but also a short and sleazy-looking man dressed as a servant.
The woman said, "All five items are here."
The man turned his gaze to Lin Shao and his group, his eyes suddenly becoming greedy, especially when he saw Shangguan Ying and Xu Yun'er.
"These two women are even prettier than our top courtesan at Chunxiang Pavilion. As for the other three, although they are men, with such looks, they can make money faster than women if properly trained."
"So, what do you think of the price...?"
After thinking for a moment, the man said, "I'll add another 10% to the price I gave you before."
"Are you trying to fob us off like this?" the two men sneered. "You should know that with the looks of these five women, as long as I spread the word, there will definitely be many people who want to buy them. It's not like we can only sell them to your Chunxiang Pavilion."
Upon hearing the woman's words, the man's expression changed, and he quickly said, "The price is negotiable, but these five people must not be sold to anyone else." He was afraid that the woman would really sell these five people to someone else.
The man understood that he was right. These goods were so beautiful that if word got out, countless people would want them, and Chunxianglou would have to be inferior to them.
"You guys name a price first," the man said.
The woman thought for a moment and said, "We've been cooperating for so long, so this time I'll give you a discount. If you double the price, you can take these people away."
Seeing that the man seemed hesitant, the woman said, "If you think it's too expensive, then forget it. I'll find another buyer."
"It's not expensive, of course it's not expensive." The man said quickly, as if afraid that the woman would change her mind. "One time is fine. Wait a minute, I'll go back and talk to the madam and bring you the money."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, took out a rather heavy ingot of silver, and said, "This is a deposit. You must reserve these five people for me."
The woman smiled so much that her wrinkles were all knitted together, and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely save it for you."
The three of them went out again.
Lin Shao and the others looked extremely grim. These people were openly discussing selling them off right in front of them. Escaping was of utmost urgency, otherwise they would really be sold off, and even if they managed to escape in the end, they would be utterly humiliated.
"We have to escape tonight."
After Lin Shao finished speaking, a sound of an animal suddenly came from not far away, "Awooo."
The five of them looked over instinctively, and when they saw the small figure, Lin Shao exclaimed in surprise, "Yin Hu, is that you?"
Lin Shao ignored Yin Hu's meow, which didn't sound like a cat's; he was filled with only joy.
Yin Hu stared at the five human brats in front of him with utter contempt.
These five brats are really stupid, but these stupid brats are actually their master's students, and they don't even have half, no, a third, of their master's intelligence.
The five people were overjoyed to see Yin Hu and did not notice his disdain. Even if they had, they would not have cared. They only had one thought in their minds: they were saved.
The presence of Yin Hu indicates that Teacher Chen must also be nearby. The five people have genuine faith in Chen Feng; as long as Chen Feng is there, it means they are saved.
Lin Shao said, "Yin Hu, what are you doing here? Where is Teacher Chen?"
Yin Hu ignored Lin Shao and reached out his claws to grab the ropes binding the five men.
The five men only saw a gust of wind flash by, and when they came to their senses, the ropes that had been binding them had fallen to the ground.
The five of them were stunned for a while before they reacted. Lin Shao looked at Yin Hu, a look of surprise flashing across his mind, but then gratitude: "Yin Hu, thank you."
"Thank you for saving us."
Yin Hu stood there, thinking to himself, if these brats weren't all his master's students, he wouldn't bother with such a stupid bunch of brats.
After the two women outside saw the man off, they heard a noise coming from inside the room. They opened the door to check, and their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they saw what was inside.
The five people who had been tied up were now free of their ropes, and the way they were looking at the two men terrified them.
The two instinctively backed away, shouting, "What do you want to do?!"
Before the two could escape, Shangguan Ying was already in front of them. "Why are you running?"
Shangguan Ying had a smile playing on her lips, but the two of them were in no mood to appreciate it; they were only filled with fear.
What happened? They clearly tied all five of them up, so how did they manage to untie the ropes?
Shangguan Ying's smile deepened, and before the two could react, they were already lying on the ground. Moreover, Shangguan Ying used considerable force, and the intense pain made them scream in agony.
"Help! Help!" the woman cried out instinctively, but the five people there all hated him to the core, so her cries for help were in vain.
The five men squatted in front of them. Looking at the five men surrounding her, the woman immediately stopped screaming, her eyes filled with even more terror.
Lin Shao stretched out a foot and kicked, saying, "I just heard you were thinking of selling us out?"
"I'm giving you a chance now. We're right here. Say what you said before again."
The woman didn't dare utter a sound after Lin Shao said that.
