79 My Langjun Is Pure and True (I)

Xu Ke hated the upper class. They had killed his innocent mother, and they had almost killed him. After losing all his dignity by becoming a "commodity" in the slave market, he had planned to avenge his mother one day by gaining importance in the court. Then he would be able to make those dregs of society, who viewed commoners' lives as nothing but grass, pay.

Of course, that was his desperate and improbable imagination. The local gentry and nobles could kill him as if he were an ant. Besides, he had become a tattooed slave, and that crushed any glimmer of hope he had in becoming an official.

But then a door opened in his life when he was bought by the strange Langjun, who was now walking in front of him. He thought the Langjun would be too arrogant to listen to others' opinions, but to his surprise, he accepted his suggestions readily.
