After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 106 Testing

After giving their instructions, Lü Daquan and the others kept an eye on Peng Yiyun and his group while retreating a short distance. They then rested for a while and handed the matter over to Lü Xinyan.

Although they had retreated some distance, Lü Daquan and the others were still keeping an eye on Lü Xinyan's situation. If any unsafe changes occurred, they would rush over immediately to help Lü Xinyan.

If Peng Yiyun and his group dare to plot against or harm Lü Xinyan, they will not let this family off the hook!

No matter how miserable the family was, Lu Daquan and his companions only encountered them on their journey. They were not familiar with these people and naturally had no trust in them.

If anything happens, they specify that Lü Xinyan should be protected first.

However, they also realized that Lü Xinyan's intention to negotiate with these people must have some other purpose, and they wouldn't hinder Lü Xinyan's progress at this time and ruin her plans.

Knowing her family's worries, Lü Xinyan turned around, nodded to them to reassure them, and then looked back at Peng Yiyun and his two brothers.

Noticing that Peng Yiyun was still very unwilling to accept the current situation, Lü Xinyan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you really going to sell yourselves out? Are you really not going to regret it?"

"Logically speaking, you all have some martial arts skills, so you shouldn't be completely helpless in the outside world. Are you really willing to sell yourselves into slavery?"

“If you’re sure you want to do this, then there’s no going back.”

While saying these words, Lü Xinyan was also paying attention to Peng Yiyun and the others' reactions.

However, Peng Yiyun and the others probably already knew this would be the outcome. The three children were very calm, but Lü Xinyan could still see Peng Yiyun's unwillingness and Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong's fear from their reactions.

The two younger ones are really too young, so it's normal for them to be scared in the face of such a change.

As for Peng Yiyun, she is quite mature and clearly has other plans in mind, and is not very willing to accept this outcome.

Lü Xinyan wasn't too surprised by this.

If there were other options, who would willingly sell themselves into slavery?

Once you're enslaved, it's not so easy to regain your status as a free person.

Therefore, knowing the gravity of the situation, the three Peng brothers would not easily agree, but due to the extremely bad situation at hand, they had no choice but to consider compromising.

This is definitely not a good experience.

But this time, Lü Xinyan had no intention of playing the good guy for nothing.

They are currently heading to Dongwei County and do need some manpower. Peng Yucheng and Peng Yiyun are quite good, and Lü Xinyan plans to take them in, but she needs to see what their attitude is first.

After a pause, Lü Xinyan continued, "You should know that if you are reduced to slavery, your future life and death will be in my hands."

“If you harbor any disloyal thoughts, I have the right to deal with you directly.”

"And without my permission, you will not be able to get rid of this identity and will have to continue to be loyal to me."

"You need to think carefully about how to make this decision."

Noticing that Peng Yiyun's brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that he was not happy about these issues and his resolve was wavering, Lü Xinyan couldn't help but slightly twitch the corners of her mouth.

Although Peng Yiyun is quite intelligent, she is still a child and too young. She is not yet able to handle some things more thoroughly, and what she said almost made her lose her composure.

However, Peng Yiyun has already done a remarkable job to achieve this level.

In the future, if Peng Yiyun can achieve her goals according to her requirements, she can also give Peng Yiyun more support and help her achieve those goals.

At present, the only way for Peng Yiyun to seek help is to sell herself into slavery, as she herself said.

Seeing Peng Yiyun still hesitating, Lü Xinyan did not soften her heart, but continued, "Besides, even if you three children were sold into slavery, you wouldn't actually be worth much money?"

"Don't be fooled by your nice words; I know exactly how much work you're capable of."

"If we buy you, you'll be working for us from now on, and the expenses won't be small. We need to think about it more."

Sure enough, upon hearing what Lü Xinyan said, Peng Yiyun suddenly raised her head and looked at Lü Xinyan, her eyes already showing some urgency.

Lu Xinyan knew that Peng Yiyun was willing to kowtow to their family for help and even sell himself into slavery mainly because he had discovered something unusual about them and knew that they had medicine that could potentially save the seriously ill and poisoned Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen. That's why he was so desperate.

But when it comes to really calculating, Peng Yiyun knows the price of selling herself into slavery, which is why she hesitates.

Her words have begun to erode Peng Yiyun's initial confidence in succeeding, and will definitely make Peng Yiyun nervous.

Lü Xinyan's way of teasing this self-proclaimed mature and intelligent child was rather wicked.

Ignoring Peng Yiyun's increasingly tense reaction, Lü Xinyan shook her head, then looked at the unconscious and poorly injured Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen. After a moment of silence, she continued, "If you want to save your parents, I do have a way, but at least you'll have to get them to agree to sell themselves together. Your whole family will have to sign a contract of servitude and work for me from now on."

"Only if you agree, and I have hope of recouping my costs, will I consider offering to treat you."

"You should also know that the famine is spreading and the situation is terrible. It's not easy to survive, especially with serious illness and poisoning like this, it will only get worse."

Seeing that Peng Yiyun and the others' expressions were becoming increasingly solemn, and Peng Yiyun's breathing became rapid due to excitement and worry, Lü Xinyan simply shook her head and continued, "Of course, even if we handle it this way, I will still be at a loss. It depends on how you repay me in the future and make up for the price I paid to save your parents."

“You all know very well that your mother has been ill for a long time and it is difficult for her to recover, while your father’s poisoning is very serious. You have no other choice.”

"In this situation, if I want to save them, the pills I need will definitely be extraordinary and of immeasurable value. This is something that you can't easily compensate for by selling yourselves into slavery."

"So, you should all think carefully about how to make this decision."
