Time Slip: The Xiao Lu
City Market

This morning, Xiao Lu accompanied by one of the servants, set off for the market to get around. Initially, General Ahn was not allowed because he was afraid he would be depressed again if he heard unpleasant rumors from the residents. However, Xiao Lu assured the father that he would be fine. Moreover, the residents did not know the appearance of Xiao Lu himself. And with a heavy heart, the father allowed Xiao Lu.

"Mao, do you know a place that sells herbs?" Xiao Lu asked the servant named Mao.

"I know miss. It's in the middle of the city market. And that place is the place that sells the most complete herbs in the kingdom" Mao replied enthusiastically.

Xiao Lu who heard that nodded in understanding as he looked around him. True it turns out if the rumors about 'nya' are still softening. But he doesn't care about that. And immediately pulled Mao's hand to show the way.

"Take me," Xiao Lu said and excitedly, Mao walked cheerfully while holding his master's hand.

Mao still looks young. He was only 13 years old.3 years old over his younger brother, Jing Mi. He understood because Mao was still a child. Maybe here he is 16 years old, but his original soul has been 25 years old so his attitude must be mature.

They both walked towards the herbal sales. And on that trip, Xiao Lu continued to stare at his surroundings with an expressionless flat face. Not infrequently he became the spotlight of some residents who looked at him. But because of his indifferent nature, he did not pay attention to those who looked at him curious.

"I DIDN'T STEAL!"

The loud cry shifted his gaze from around towards the crowd that was in front of him. Xiao Lu raised his eyebrows when he saw the stature of a young man in shabby clothes staring at a mature man sharply.

"FUCKING FUCKING KID! IT'S CLEAR YOU STOLE MY MERCHANDISE STILL DON'T WANT TO CONFESS!! I HAVE TO TAKE YOU TO THE LAW BUREAU!!" Stomach hard mature man who is none other than one of the traders.

"I TOLD YOU, I DIDN'T STEAL YOUR MERCHANDISE!!" Excited the young man for not accepting the accusations from the man in front of him.

"YOU-YOU"

"What's this?"

The subtle but cold voice instantly made a crowd of people stare at the origin of the sound of the shabby young man was no exception.

The crowd saw a beautiful young girl with a flat gaze with a frown as they had just seen this girl. But they knew, if this girl might be the daughter of a noble by just looking at the clothes she was wearing, they knew if the clothes were made of the best quality fabric even though the clothes looked simple.

The girl who was none other than Xiao Lu was staring at them flat with one of her eyebrows raised. Mao who was beside him slowly pulled Xiao Lu's hand out of fear of anything happening with his master.

"No-na.." call Mao in a low voice.

"Be quiet first," Xiao Lu said softly towards the frightened Mao. He rubbed the hand that was holding his hand with his delicate thumb made Mao slightly calm.

"Nobody will answer?" Xiao Lu said coldly.

Xiao Lu gave off an aura that made the people around him shudder. They continued to look questioningly at the girl who they believed was still around 15-16 years old in front of him questioningly.

"This boy stole my merchandise!!" Said the merchant man loudly even though he felt his fine fur standing up because of the sharp eyes of the girl in front of him.

"Oh yeah?" Xiao Lu asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Did you really steal it?" Xiao Lu asked as he looked towards the shabby young man.

"No!" The young man's words were firm even though he was also somewhat goosebumps looking at Xiao Lu.

"He said no. If he did steal, do you have any evidence?" Xiao Lu said to the merchant who was now gulping his saliva nervously.

"But I saw him"

"See what? I was about to take the prick of the hair that fell down and give it back to you! I explained it, but you don't believe it!" cut the old man to the merchant.

The merchant was silent when he saw some gazes that led to him with scornful looks because the explanation of the young man in front of him was indeed true.

"Ck. It's laughable," Xiao Lu said softly as he clucked but he stared with interest at the shabby young man.

He began to think about making Blackrose like his world first. He grinned at the shabby young man who seemed undaunted as he continued to be cornered by the merchants and some of the crowd. He saw a strong resolve in the eyes of the young man.

"Dissolve!" Xiao Lu's words sharply made the crowd without staring back at Xiao Lu just disperse and do their activities again.

The merchant also returned to his column. And the young man sighed and then looked at Xiao Lu. He smiled sincerely at Xiao Lu.

"No problem. But-"

Xiao Lu stopped his words and looked at the young man who was also staring at him with concern. Mao also stared at the lady with a questioning look.

"-you must be my man," Xiao Lu added with his flagship grin.

"W-what?" Said the young man. He just stared intently at Xiao Lu.

"I am poor. But I have pride and I won't be anyone's slave!" Sharp added.

Xiao Lu nodded in satisfaction with the young man's reply in front of him. His estimate is always correct. The young man will not be humble even though he has been cornered.

"I did not make you a slave. I just want to help you so that you don't have any more trouble" Xiao Lu said as he looked at the young man in front of him.

The young man looked at the girl he thought was younger than him. This girl had a different aura than the other girls. His aura is the aura of a leader. The girl's eyes were radiating strongly. For some reason, but the young man's heart was made to tremble. In his mind, he indeed had to follow the little girl.

"Then, what do you want young lady?" The young man asked slightly softening his voice.

Xiao Lu widened his grin when he found out the young man was interested in his offer.

"We're talking elsewhere" Xiao Lu said and walked slowly followed by Mao. Xiao Lu said so indeed because he was caught off guard by the people around him about his action earlier.

The young man thought for a moment and finally followed Xiao Lu who was now walking towards the herbal shop that Mao had pointed out earlier.

They finally reached the front of the store, and the store looked crowded from the outside. Xiao Lu also told Mao to wait for a while with the young man earlier.

Xiao Lu stepped his foot into the shop. He began to look around the shelf and indeed, herbs both dried and fresh plastered on the cake made him happy.

In the past, besides being a mafia, he also studied all kinds of medicine from traditional to modern medicine. He also learned how to make weapons. In fact, Blackrose's weapons were mostly weapons that he made himself aided by his other subordinates.

Xiao Lu picked up an empty basket by the side of the shelf and began to wander around to look for the herbs he needed. Some of the herbs he took were dried herbs so that he could more easily process them.

Before long, the medium-sized basket was now full of herbs. The people who were there looked at Xiao Lu with round eyes.

'Is this girl a descendant of a healer? There were so many herbs that he bought, ' thought the visitors and the clerks of the shop.

Xiao Lu paid no heed to the sight that led to him. He went straight to the place of payment and handed over his goods to be counted.

"Can you count it immediately? I was in a hurry," Xiao Lu said flatly making the female employee in front of him aware of her daydream.

The female employee immediately counted the herbs belonging to Xiao Lu quickly.

"Everything is 200 gold coins, miss," the official told the argo of the item he bought.

Xiao Lu nodded and gave up the 2 gold bars he had on him. He then took his groceries and immediately came out without seeing the people who were staring at him gawking.
