The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 31: An Underworld Battle Arena (6)

What Bai Lin and Huang Deshi said was true there was a battleground in the underworld that allowed for the rental of a battle platform and the creation of rules and rewards for that particular platform. But what Yun San said was also true, many of the battle platforms were for insane fights to the death to get valuable rewards or freedom, there were slaves in those places.

It was not uncommon in large cities for stocks of underworld organizations, much less in a city near the border of the country, money in these organizations pouring in as an endless source.

Of course, in the outside world slaves are forbidden, even servants are not bought and sold, people can rent their working time. However, the best benefits would be in the servants who decide to join the big families, so there are many cases that the "servants" sell themselves to the families, unfortunately, there are also cases of people who are poor and greedy people who "sell" their daughters and sons to these powerful families. In this case, they force the child or adolescent to sign a loyalty contract for a certain number of years, whose repercussions of betrayal may be the death or destruction of the cultivation base, which is practically dead.

Obviously these are not normal contracts, but this author will talk about it another time.

The large families of Nim Yang and the Qin Empire are aware of these underworld organizations, but they ignore or try to keep control so they don't grow wildly. We will now call organizations of the light, for those who act before the public, and organization of the underworld, for those who make their illegal transactions away from the public eye.

The light organizations utilize some of the underworld organization's facilities, such as the black market, the battle arena, and the alchemists' arena, as well as some facilitation such as renting services from the most powerful, of course, the strongest assassins and bodyguards from the services of an underground organization, gathering information!

Hu Dewei was a little disappointed as he thought it was somewhere new for him to exercise his power, but this underworld arena was something he and his Hu Family descendants had to train there, after all, the competition was very fierce even the so-called "gongzis" had to train hard if they were to survive in this world where the strong crush the weak. However, despite his initial disappointment, this was also a kind of opportunity to form some kind of bond with someone from the upper layer of the Celestial Sword Sect.

"My Hu Family is renting platform 46 for a month in the underworld battle arena, but as it is now in the midst of sect selection, the platform is empty. I would be honored that Senior brother Yun could use this platform with the other little brothers in the sect, "said Hu Dewei in a cordial voice, again throwing himself into a pit full of problems.

"I come from the Bai Family, who is the leader of the merchant families and one of the richest in the city, if Senior Brother Yun allows me, I would like to offer the rewards on the battle platform," said Bai Lin, soliciting, ignoring the grumble and scornful look from Hu Dewei.

Hu Dewei really wanted to refute what Bai Lin said, but he couldn't Because it was true! Even the Huang Family, which is a Marquis family, was not as rich as the Bai Family! Even if Bai Lin was the poorest child in the Bai family, he would still be as rich as the richest of the younger generation, including Huang Deshi!

So hateful! Thought Hu Dewei, but he soon pushed his irritation away. Soon he and his two acquaintances would go to the largest sect on the continent whose opponents would be hundreds of thousands of new disciples, senior disciples, and malicious elders, meaning Hu Dewei was not stupid enough to keep this thought narrow and unwise. Now was the time to make some contact with an important person within the sect.

Huang Deshi's lips were trembling as he watched the goodwill act of his best friend and the little fat Hu family, he only sighed, since the person didn't hurt someone's bottom line, there would be no eternal enmities.

Yun San observed the attitude of these three people and came to the following conclusion: Bai Lin is a smart boy and knows how to behave before someone of higher level; Hu Dewei was someone who took advantage of the opportunities, which showed his great intelligence despite his fat and foolish appearance; and Huang Deshi didn't care about any of this, just growing up and becoming strong, of course, he was warmer than his cool-looking looks showed, as he came out to rescue Bai Lin during the conversation.

Inwardly, Yun San was full of praise for these new disciples of his sect, he could see that they would be very strong in the not so distant future, but on the outside, he kept a cool mask and a deep look, the others in the group did not know then that he was thinking.

"That's a good idea, but I'll give my answer after the meal," Yun San said in a calm voice, but once adopting an indifferent and collected stance. This phrase was a compliment to the efforts of these three people and also a warning that he knew what the three intended.

It was Huang Deshi's turn to feel wronged by this phrase, after all, he had only spoken to help Bai Lin, he had no intention of pulling anyone's ass and didn't want to get involved with Yun San very deeply. The Huang family already had high-ranking Elders in the Heavenly Sword sect, clearly, there would be a group of Huang family followers and even young people from their family there waiting to receive him, he needed to do nothing but concentrate on his martial cultivation!

However, Huang Deshi remained calm, even if it wasn't for his own benefit at least Bai Lin could have someone to help him in the future, which was already the best result.

"Tsk! Don't look at me with that kind of look! I'm just doing what a good friend would do for you! Don't think too much! "Thought Huang Deshi as he felt Bai Lin's warm, warm gaze in his direction, but he acted as if it were really an ornament in the room, not paying attention to his best friend.

Yun San looked at Bia Lin and Huang Deshi, with a strange look in his dark eyes, then when he smiled quickly, before returning to his serious expression. Of course, no one noticed this, as it was at this point that the waiter returned with several waiters with their arms full of delicious dishes.

The little white dog began to drool as he smelled the food, his little stomach began to growl, had it not been for Yun San's hand on his head by now, he would have already flown into the food, regardless of the strange look, everyone had on him would give.

That was the power of spiritual foods! Even holy beasts could not help but go mad, and not even the supreme devils could refrain from eating a delicious meal made of spiritual ingredients!

In the other room, Zemin Yan, who was listening to all of Bai Lin's group talk with Yun San for their spiritual connection, was now frowning like a headache, which was soon noticed by his best friend and sworn brother, Yi Yuga

"Are you ok, Brother Yan?" Asked Yi Yuga worriedly, they were talking normally, even exchanging ideas about Dao cultivation, when Zemin Yan stopped talking and frowned looking like he was in pain.

"I am fine. I just remembered something very bad from the past, "said Zemin Yan in a vague voice. However, no one questioned the 10-year-old orphan child, in fact, there would be many painful memories in his past. They just didn't know how a constructive conversation about Dao cultivation could cause the reactions of this child's negative memories!
