Don't touch them (1)

Lin Yu Yan has let everyone know her plans for when she fights with the Lu family. If everything goes to plan, it would be done quickly and cleanly. But of course, it never does so she made alternate plans in case something goes wrong.

Of course, the children don't need to know anything.

Lin Yu Yan is glad the children are enjoying themselves here in the city. She got them good looking clothes and enough food to eat which means she doing a good job at something. The children love exploring in the city and she knows they would stay out of trouble, so she lets them explore by themselves.

Because Kenzhi is also only 6 years of age, she tries not to rely on him as much and leaves his schedule open most of the time so he can enjoy himself in the city.

She notice the some of the little children running back the house with expressions of fear in their faces when she looked out her window. They talked to one of the women who was hanging clothes to dry and she froze in place.

Lin Yu Yan saw the tension in the air and ran down to see what the situation is. When she made it to the entrance of the house, Xie Rushi ran into her on the way to tell Lin Yu Yan about the situation.

"Master! I need to tell you something!" Xie Rushi said with a shaky voice.

"What happened?"

"The children… the children said they saw some of the slave traders in town!"

Lin Yu Yan forgot about those people. "The ones who held you guys before I bought you?"

"Yes! The children said they were the ones who held us for a while in another warehouse near the border of the Chu Empire before we reached the warehouse here. They remember the faces of the children and heard that they are after the person who bought them."

One of the children came up with Lin Yu Yan explaining what they said exactly and how they escaped easily. Lin Yu yan pat their heads proud that they can escape easily and hop they can find the other children around the city to get back home safely.

Then they heard a loud voice at the door.

"Hey! Open Up! We knew you're in there, you slaves!" It seems the slaves' traders were able to catch up with the children and lead them back to their home.

"Big sister, I'm sorry! I lead them to our house!" The little boy said crying.

"It's okay, little one. I'm just glad your guys are not hurt," She said wiping his tears. The little boy smiles in relief but is trembling in fear that they might catch them again.

Kenzhi was out exploring for the day and was just coming back from eating a couple of snacks at a nearby restaurant when he felt the presence he was familiar with. He was frightened not because he is afraid of them but that they were close to his home. He ran home as soon as possible to let Lin Yu Yan know.

But when he arrived, they are already at the front entrance of the house. So he got entered the house in from the back entrance.

"Big sister!" Kenzhi said but it seems she has already known from the expression she has.

"I know, Kenzhi. I'll deal with it," Lin Yu Yan said with a smile.

But the slaves' traders got even louder from not getting an answer. "I bet your master is in there too! The B!tch with the scared face!" said the man.

'Shoot. Those men outside does know about my scar. I should have hidden it better.' She sighs and pulls out a pill from her space ring and swallows it. 'I didn't want to do it now but we don't need to much trouble at the moment.'

"Kenzhi follow me and act like you are afraid of them. Stand behind me. Act all innocent, okay?" She said as steam was coming off her face.

"Yes, big sister."

And all the men, women, and children notice the scars on her face disappearing. Hot steam was coming off of her face and body produced the instant healing of the scars from the pill. Even the gigantic scar that was going to be difficult to heal has disappeared.

She reached the gate and opened it slightly, enough to show her whole body and said in a soft voice, "Is something wrong?"
