Chapter 49 : Slavery

Lin Fan didn't know what kind of problem he would be facing now, but he hoped that he could solve this problem easily, at least with his current abilities.

Xiao Bing who was previously enjoying cultivation was also awakened by Tai San's warning, she looked at Lin Fan with a curious expression, "Big Brother, are we going to fight?".

Looking at the curious Xiao Bing, Lin Fan smiled wryly with a sigh, he gently stroked her head, "Why don't you worry? At least, you should always be alert when there are problems while traveling, and not just curious".

After saying that, Lin Fan immediately remembered something that made him a little embarrassed. Previously he was cultivating despite traveling, that meant he had been careless even if nothing happened.

`Well, hopefully Xiao Bing doesn't notice that,` thought a slightly embarrassed Lin Fan. Of course, this made Lin Fan realize that he was still a lot reckless in doing things, so from now on he had to increase his vigilance. `Yes, the best experience is when you made that mistake`.

But who would have thought, Lin Fan's hopes did not come true and backfired on him. "But, isn't Big Brother cultivating earlier? Doesn't that mean Big Brother is also careless?" Xiao Bing said as she looked at Lin Fan with a curious face.

"Ugh.. It's an adult's matter," said Lin Fan who tried to refute it. He had forgotten that Xiao Bing had high intelligence!

Of course, with Xiao Bing's high intelligence, she could refute Lin Fan's words, "Big Brother, but you're not an adult right?".

"..."

`This little thing is too clever`, thought Lin Fan who didn't dare to refute it anymore. And this was where Lin Fan found out that Spiritual Power did not guarantee one's intelligence.

...

After talking to Xiao Bing, Lin Fan approached Tai San who was controlling the wagon. He directly asked Tai San about what happened, "Grandpa, what problem do we have?".

Lin Fan was starting to think that this problem must be related to bandits or something, because when going on a traveling, this was the only thing that usually happened.

Then Lin Fan looked at the place where Tai San was currently paying attention, there he saw a wagon that had collapsed because one of its wheels had broken.

Of course, that wasn't all Lin Fan saw. He also saw several people who were chained together standing with some wounds wearing shabby clothes, and there was a middle-aged man with a distended stomach wearing luxurious clothes.

Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately thought that this was a wagon belonging to a slave trader.

`A slave trader? Well, even in this world there is one that has this disgusting profession,` thought Lin Fan who looked down on this middle-aged man.

Then Lin Fan saw people who were chained together, and he was quite surprised that in one of them was a small child who was also chained up, `Not even a child escapes slavery!`, thought Lin Fan disdainfully.

Basically, Lin Fan came from the modern world that forbade slavery. Although he didn't know in the previous world there was slavery or not, but at least this was never seen in public.

And when he saw the slavery, this made Lin Fan immediately furious and took out the Little Hammer from his Ring, `Wait a minute, I have to check this middle-aged man's cultivation before taking action`.

Lin Fan also activated the Library of Heavens Path to the middle-aged man, he used it only to view his cultivation information.

But who would have thought, this middle-aged man's cultivation is not much, he only has a cultivation up to Rank 25 only!

Seeing this, Lin Fan felt something strange, how could a slave trader alone bring slaves with low cultivation? Was he not worried about rebellion or kidnapping?

However, Lin Fan immediately got rid of the strange feeling, he immediately got down from his carriage and said to Tai San seriously, "Grandpa, I will take care of it in a moment. I believe I can defeat him with one hit".

But before Lin Fan could act, Tai San suddenly shouted at Lin Fan, "Xiao Fan, wait a minute! What are you going to do?!".

Hearing Tai San's shout, Lin Fan looked at him while replying, "I'll beat him until he doesn't even know his face!"

Then, Lin Fan saw Tai San's worried expression, this made Lin Fan feel that Tai San was very worried about his safety, "Don't worry, Grandpa! I can solve this problem, well, it's not a big problem for me".

After saying that, Lin Fan had no idea what Tai San said next, "No! Wait a minute, Xiao Fan! I'm not worried about you! But I'm worried about him!"

"Huh?"

Of course, what Tai San said greatly confused Lin Fan. Worried about a slave trader? Has Grandpa Tai San gone senile or what?

Seeing Lin Fan stop his actions while looking flustered, Tai San immediately explained in a relieved tone, "You want to beat him up? Why do you want to beat him up? You should know, it's a bad move."

Hearing Tai San's question confused Lin Fan, why is beating a slave trader a bad thing? Isn't a slave trader an evil or abominable job?

Well, it was true that Lin Fan only wanted to beat up this slave trader with Little Hammer. At least he intended to just beat him up without killing him, if he was accidentally killed, that would be a later matter.

Then, Tai San explained it to Lin Fan, "I know you don't like the profession of a slave trader, but don't you want to know why these people are enslaved? You should know, slavery exists for punishment of criminals or for people who have sold themselves."

"Even though there are those who enslave someone in a cunning way, we can't rule out the possibility that the slave has a background that must be enslaved. You know, the world is not so easy to distinguish between black and white," Tai San explained to Lin Fan.

Hearing Tai San's explanation, Lin Fan finally realized that he was just looking down on something without thinking any further. This time he was so careless, he didn't use the Library of Heaven's Path to its fullest because of his anger.

If only Lin Fan had used the Library of Heaven's Path to look at a person's information and history, perhaps he could have taken more appropriate action than being misguided.

And when Lin Fan used the Library of Heaven's Path to look through all the information on the slaves, he was quite relieved that almost all of them were criminals except for one, a boy who sold himself into slavery in order to survive due to starvation.
