Chapter 285: Turmoil in Xiulan
The following morning, after Melina and I took all of the slaves we could find in the city to Yuandu, we slept for a few hours before Mei Ling woke us up.
We only got like two hours of sleep, so we were feeling a bit groggy. Still, Mei Ling kept asking where we had been the entire night.
I rubbed my eyes and yawned while Melina kept acting as if she wasn’t listening to sleep a little more, contrasting with the slight panic that Mei Ling was going through.
During the night, Melina and I flew all over the city, looking for enslaved villagers and teleporting them to Yuandu. We freed a little over 500 people, so it wasn’t all of them, but it was a really big portion.
"The guards have been scouting the city fully alert since early in the morning. What did you guys do?" Ling asked.
I was feeling a bit more awake, but before I could answer, someone knocked on the door asking for Mei Ling.
It was another noblewoman who was staying at the inn and went to Ling’s room to ask if her slaves had also disappeared.
"Uhh, no, no. They are still here..." Ling replied.
"I see. It seems like other families lost their slaves, too. Could they have escaped?" the noblewoman pondered out loud.
