A cold glint flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes upon hearing Yun Meilan's report.
"What's the situation now?" Yun Lintian asked. He had prohibited his Cloud Shadow team from helping the kidnapped children in the past because he did not want to expose the team's existence too soon. After all, this place was deep, and Yun Lintian had no way of dealing with the Peng clan by himself.
Now, if the situation was urgent, as Yun Meilan said, Yun Lintian would definitely not stand aside and watch further.
"Some of them had their limbs cut off because they are not obedient." Yun Meilan replied.
Ka-cha!
The teapot in Yun Lintian's hand immediately shattered into pieces under his anger upon hearing this. His entire body was exuding boundless killing intent, causing the temperature in the room to drop significantly.
"What's wrong, junior brother? You don't like the teapot?" Nantian Fengyu tilted her head, looking at Yun Lintian curiously.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath to calm himself down and force a smile. "Nothing, fifth sister. I accidentally exerted too much strength."
Nantian Fengyu was a simple mind person. Thus, she didn't linger on this topic further and continued to look around.
"I'll be there in a while. Contact our people to keep an eye on the children's whereabouts." Yun Lintian returned sound transmission to Yun Meilan.
A while later, the food was served one by one. There were various dishes, from simple fried rice to luxurious seafood. All of them were personally cooked by Yun Lingwei.
Watching the unfamiliar food in front of her, Nantian Fengyu's eyes were full of stars, and a fine trickle of drool constantly leaked from the corner of her mouth.
"You can eat as much as you want, Fifth Sister." Yun Lintian smiled faintly while peeling a shrimp for Linlin.
"Good junior brother!" Nantian Fengyu yelled happily and quickly imitated Yun Lintian's peeling action.
After learning how to eat the seafood, Nantian Fengyu became more proficient, and her eating speed was as fast as lightning to the point her hands had turned into countless shadows. She would also shout "Good junior brother!" from time to time whenever she tried a new dish.
"Linlin, big brother has something important to do. Can you stay with Lingwei for a period?" Yun Lintian asked Linlin while feeding her.
Linlin didn't ask Yun Lintian about it and nodded her head. "Don't worry, Big Brother Yun. I'll wait for you here."
Yun Lintian stroked her head dotingly and turned to Nantian Fengyu. "Fifth Sister, I have something to do, and I'll leave for a long time. If you want anything, just tell my aunt Lingwei directly. You can also rest here for a night if you don't want to go back."
"Good junior brother!" Nantian Fengyu didn't care about Yun Lintian, as her mind was entirely occupied by the food in front of her. She simply responded to him and continued to swallow all the foods happily.
Yun Lintian left her and Linlin in the room and went to the study room on the same floor. As he opened the door and walked in, Yun Meilan had long waited for him with a small book in her hand.
Yun Lintian sat down on his chair and received the book from Yun Meilan before reading the content. The more he read, the angrier he became.
Because Principal Tian had arranged various means to suppress the Peng clan recently, it caused the latter to hurriedly sell all the captured children away.
As the Peng clan was in a hurry, a mistake had naturally occurred, and this gave some children that would rather die than become someone else's slave a chance to escape. However, they were, after all, an ordinary person without strength, all of them were caught back in the end.
This incident naturally made the persons in charge furious. They didn't hesitate to kill the chicken to scare the monkey by severing the children's legs and arms. Even though their price would drop tremendously, they could still be sold as a pill slave.
"All the boys had been sold?" Yun Lintian took a few deep breaths and asked. From the information, there were only girls left behind.
Yun Meilan explained. "A boy is easier to be sold because their constitution is stronger. They are more suitable to work in a mine. As for a girl… after being cut their limbs off, no one wants to buy them."
In this world, the labor force had always been a problem. No one wanted to work as a slave in exchange for a few dimes. Especially when they could change their life by becoming a practitioner. That was why a male slave would be sold faster than a female slave as they were urgently sought of.
As for a female slave, except for use as a servant and a tool for a man to vent his desire, they didn't seem to have other values in these beasts' eyes.
Yun Lintian leaned against the chair and closed his eyes. He tried his best to suppress the flame of fury in his heart.
Yun Lintian had never claimed himself as a good person or a saint. Otherwise, he would save all the children a long time ago. He wouldn't need to patiently wait until now. However, he could not close his eyes and wait any longer this time.
A while later, Yun Lintian opened his eyes and looked at Yun Meilan. "Where is the customer list?"
"It's here." Yun Meilan handed another small book to Yun Lintian.
All the customers that bought these children were recorded in this book. Yun Lintian looked at the name list one by one without even blinking his eyes as if he wanted to carve their names in the deepest part of his mind.
Yun Meilan calmly watched Yun Lintian on the side. Although he looked extremely calm right now, she could perceive a blazing fury radiating from him. The current Yun Lintian was akin to a volcano that was about to erupt at any moment.
Yun Lintian put the book down and said calmly. "Tell our people. Prepare for the kill."
A cold light gleamed in Yun Meilan's eyes as she made a hand seal, contacting every Cloud Shadow team member.
