Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 103 Searching for People at the Quarry

The foreman screamed, clutching his wrist and shouting, "Who's there?" He then saw the Marquis of Zhenbei and hurriedly knelt down, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

The person who had been beaten also looked over, but when he saw Yunyi, he paused for a moment.

"What did this man do wrong?" Yunyi asked, pointing to the man who had been beaten.

“He…” The overseer did not know Yun Yi’s identity, so he did not dare to say anything more and could only kneel down and tremble.

"What's going on?" At this moment, the quarry manager ran over and knelt down when he saw the Marquis of Zhenbei. "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"What happened to that person?" Marquis Zhenbei didn't really want to get involved. After all, people in the quarry were worthless once they died. But with Boss Yun around, he couldn't just stay out of it.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, that man... was slacking off, so..."

"You're talking nonsense," the man who was being beaten suddenly said. "He's so hungry he can't even stand up, and you're still beating him up. You're trying to kill him."

"Anyone who comes here should be prepared to lose their life at any moment," the manager scoffed. "This is not a charity."

"You..." The man wanted to say something, but found he couldn't say anything at all. In the end, he could only lower his head in frustration. "Even so, could you give him a bite to eat?"

Yunyi looked at the man and felt a pang of emotion. He was a good person, warm-hearted, righteous, and compassionate. It was a pity that such qualities were the least needed in a place like Black City.

It's a miracle that such pure-hearted people can live in this place.

The Marquis of Zhenbei took a deep breath and glanced at the steward: "Make sure they are well-fed from now on, otherwise how will they get to work?"

"Yes." The steward nodded.

The man smiled.

“My lord, if you still want to save Master Bai, then I’ll take this man too.” Yunyi looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"You..." Marquis Zhenbei was somewhat annoyed, but in the end he nodded, after all, Bai Wu was a very reliable person. "Okay."

"What's your name?" Yunyi walked over and looked at the man with the word "sin" tattooed on his forehead.

The man glanced at Yun Yi and said, "Gu Chengrui."

Yunyi's eyes flashed. Gu Chengrui? Isn't that the former Crown Prince's brother-in-law? He is the eldest son of General Gu Zhong, and the twin brother and sister of the former Crown Princess Gu Chengyun.

After General Gu Zhong and his wife died in battle, and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess perished in the fire, the remaining members of the Gu family were exiled to Black City. Unexpectedly, they encountered General Gu here.

She sought medical help from Lin Yanran to save him.

Lin Yanran calls him "Big Brother." If nothing unexpected happens, then the Lin family and the Gu family should be related, either cousins ​​or paternal cousins.

Without saying anything more, Yunyi walked into the quarry and glanced at everyone. Surprisingly, she didn't see He Guang.

Is everyone here?

"It's all here."

"Sure?"

"Confirmed." The manager nodded.

“There’s another one,” Gu Chengrui suddenly said. “He was beaten to death half an hour ago and thrown into the stone pit over there.”

Upon hearing this, Yunyi rushed over. The so-called stone pit was actually a corpse pit where dead people were thrown in. The one on top had just been thrown in, but it was face down. So, she sent someone down to turn the person over.

I never expected it to really be He Guang.

"Boss, this person isn't dead." Yun Yi was just considering having someone buy a coffin when Sixteen's voice suddenly rang in her mind.

[Sixteen? You've regained your energy?] Yunyi was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted the other person. After all, the fact that the other person could communicate with her from such a distance meant that the other person's energy had been restored and that they could re-enter her mind, and even help her scan people.

However, the other party simply disappeared.

Yunyi waited for a while without a reply, so she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she squatted down to check on He Guang and found that although his pupils were dilated and he had no breath or pulse, she could feel a very slight fluctuation in his carotid artery. So, she quickly took out a silver needle and gently pricked it a few times. The person who had no breath miraculously resumed breathing.

The Marquis of Zhenbei's eyes narrowed slightly. He may have had some doubts before, but now he was certain that this woman could indeed save people.

Yunyi let Zhao Xiaobei and a few others who were waiting outside come in and take He Guang away. Then she looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei and said, "You asked me to save people, but my people's lives are currently uncertain. So, Marquis, I'm losing out on this deal."

"What do you want?"

"How about I pick a few more people?" Yunyi pointed to the quarry. "You know I'm short of workers."

"Boss Yun, isn't this request a bit excessive?"

"Is that so?" Yun Yi sneered. "Then when I save the Second Young Master, will I save him like my own people? As long as he can breathe?"

"you……"

"My lord, I'm just a lowly scoundrel," Yun Yi laughed, "but you are a person of high status and wealth. Unless you kill all of us at once, do you believe that as long as I have a breath left, I can tear your flesh and blood off and drag your Bai family into the mire?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei's face twisted into a grimace: "The one who can threaten me hasn't been born yet." With that, he suddenly attacked.

Yunyi has undergone tens of thousands of years of training and is proficient in various martial arts. Although she has lost her internal energy, she still retains her moves. It would not be an exaggeration to call her a master. However, her only shortcoming is the lack of internal energy.

To spar with a master with internal strength, the only breakthrough is to be unexpected and fast.

Fortunately, although she is an ordinary person now, her physical qualities are extraordinary. Her strength and speed are at the peak of normal human capabilities, an enhanced 2.0 version. If she were in modern society, she would be at the level of a special forces soldier, which gives her a lot of room to maneuver.

This is also why she was able to deal with Bai Zhan.

At this moment, Zhenbei Hou's martial arts skills were superior to Bai Zhan's, so she dared not be careless at all.

Marquis Zhenbei sensed that Yunyi had no internal energy, but he did not expect her moves to be so strange. What frustrated him even more was that she always fought close to him, which made it impossible for him to use his skills.

Yunyi's movements were all precise and direct, using deadly moves with incredible speed and complete disregard for defense.

Marquis Zhenbei was momentarily stunned. Was this woman really planning to die with him? Was it really necessary?

However, in that moment of distraction, a silver needle was pressed against his throat.

"My lord, do you think your fist is faster or my silver needle? And what if I poisoned these silver needles?" Yun Yi looked at him indifferently.

The Marquis of Zhenbei's Adam's apple bobbed, and he immediately loosened his fist: "Brother Yun, it was my rashness. I agree to your conditions."
