For instance, when Qu Jice beat Qian Yuan brutally, Qian Yuan, with just one hand, could easily crush him, yet he took the beating without fighting back or resisting.
These slaves, it was as if they had been brainwashed by some evil cult, believing obedience to their master was a natural duty, even if it meant being beaten to death by them, it was deserved.
Jian Shichu felt very reassured with such people by Ye Qingci's side.
Moreover, having them by Ye Qingci's side, with her nature, she was sure to treat them well.
For Qian Yuan and Pu Wu, perhaps they had hardly received any kindness from birth until now, Ye Qingci's kindness towards them would surely result in them becoming even more loyal to her, willing to lay down their lives for her, loyally serving until death.
