Chapter 246: Chapter 246
When Xiaoyao walked in, many people immediately looked toward him, staring with their eyes, as if they had discovered something.
Xiaoyao knew what they meant, because such a situation had just occurred before. It was just that the people here didn't know the situation yet, so Xiaoyao straightforwardly explained the matter first.
"Sorry everyone, I've already completed the task of finding me myself. Stop looking at me and think about doing other tasks instead." Xiaoyao said while showing his Wanderer's token.
Immediately there was applause everywhere. Well, booing...
After that, no one paid attention to Xiaoyao anymore, because they knew this task could no longer continue. Without the task, they wouldn't be interested in Xiaoyao. There were many such tasks in the martial world, not everyone could be interested in all of them.
Xiaoyao's portrait was known during the task, but it was immediately forgotten once the task ended. At the same time, they didn't know Xiaoyao's name either. They weren't interested in this, and the Wanderers' Alliance wouldn't announce it either. Even if the task was completed, it was just completed. If you wanted to know, you'd have to pay a price to buy this information.
"Innkeeper, I want a premium room." Xiaoyao said.
"Don't have any." The innkeeper checked and replied.
"Give me a regular room." Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"Don't have those either." The innkeeper checked again and still had none.
"Then, give me a woodshed." Xiaoyao continued.
"..., Sorry, the woodshed isn't rented out to customers." The innkeeper said with some embarrassment.
"Do you have a basement..." Xiaoyao asked again.
"No." The innkeeper was sweating profusely.
"Damn, how can you not have anything here? Do you deserve to be called an inn?" Xiaoyao questioned.
"Please, even the highest-grade inns don't rent out woodsheds and basements..." the innkeeper said very innocently. "Also, we do have other rooms here, just not the kind you mentioned."
"If you have other rooms, you should have said so earlier," Xiaoyao said.
"You didn't give me a chance." the innkeeper said.
"..., Fine, tell me what rooms you have available," Xiaoyao said somewhat sheepishly.
"We have ordinary rooms. Do you want one?" the innkeeper said.
"..." Xiaoyao fell silent. He seemed to really not have asked about ordinary rooms.
"Book an ordinary room. Does it have a bathroom?" Xiaoyao asked.
"Yes, public bathrooms, separated for men and women. Don't go to the wrong one, female martial world wanderers are very scary. Don't risk it for a little perverted thought," the innkeeper said, giving a warning.
"..." Xiaoyao was speechless. Did he look like someone with such proclivities? Why remind him of this?
However, Xiaoyao didn't know that this warning seemed to have some relevance for him. When he was bathing, Chi Chi suddenly jumped to the women's bathhouse, causing those women to scream.
But due to Chi Chi's cute attributes, those women not only didn't reject it but competed to grab Chi Chi. Even if they were female martial world wanderers, tough women, they were still women, though there were a few who weren't interested.
Regarding this, Xiaoyao later kicked Chi Chi over to those women. Not only did he not want those women to know Chi Chi was his pet, this statement also didn't sound good and would make them unhappy.
Most importantly, Xiaoyao wanted Chi Chi to go over and freeload food and drink. This was something he often did. To support Chi Chi, this glutton, Xiaoyao didn't mind using such somewhat shameless methods. However, generally, girls would like feeding it. Paying a little food to get some joy, they weren't too bothered by it.
Even if they later knew they were fooled by Chi Chi into giving it food and drink, if Chi Chi continued coming to freeload, they would still give it food.
After all, Chi Chi just wanted some food and wasn't picky, no one would mind this.
Xiaoyao was now too lazy to care about Chi Chi. He just wanted to take a bath and then go to sleep. He hadn't slept normally for over twenty days and really missed it. Soon, he entered dreamland.
Xiaoyao entered dreamland, but on the other side of Boundary Mountain, some people didn't have such good sleep, because they received a message they had been waiting for over ten days.
These people were from the Azure Dragon Society and others. Twenty days ago, they discovered that their people had all died. Initially, it was the first one killed, along with the few servants escorting him and several servants injured in the second incident.
These people were those who hadn't died at the time and knew of Xiaoyao's existence, so they mentioned it, and Xiaoyao naturally became the focus of the Azure Dragon Society and others.
In fact, during these twenty-some days, the Azure Dragon Society and others had also eliminated those who had escaped. With their capabilities and being on their territory, they easily found them and questioned them one by one.
After checking everyone, no one was possible. Only two people hadn't been caught, and one of them seemed impossible too, leaving only Xiaoyao. So they then posted a task seeking Xiaoyao's whereabouts.
Now they had obtained the information. According to the surface information, Xiaoyao also seemed impossible, but they had to capture Xiaoyao and question him. This time their losses were too severe, nearly half of the younger generation had died, which would leave them without successors and severely damage their vitality.
Especially among those who died this time were sons and disciples of sect masters and elders, so this matter couldn't be let go. Even if they risked their lives, they had to seek revenge.
At this time, they wouldn't care who was right or wrong. Even if it was all their sons' and disciples' fault, even if their sons and disciples brought it upon themselves, they still had to seek revenge and kill whoever killed their sons and disciples, regardless of who it was or what price they had to pay.
It was because of this that when they learned Xiaoyao was in White River Town, they immediately sent elite teams to that side and commissioned the Wanderers' Alliance to continue buying information about Xiaoyao's whereabouts. However, they received unexpected information, the Wanderers' Alliance refused to provide it again.
Soon, they understood. It turned out Xiaoyao had another identity, he was a wanderer, and possessed a considerable rank, because the most basic wanderers weren't protected much. This depended on contribution level. Otherwise, if anyone could join the Wanderers' Alliance and the Alliance had to provide protection, most people would join the Wanderers' Alliance seeking shelter when things happened, people who purely wanted protection without making contributions.
But this didn't matter to them. If they couldn't get information through the Wanderers' Alliance, they could do it through other means. Even without other means, relying on their own tracking would work just the same, at least that's what they thought.
At the same time, the Wanderers' Alliance wouldn't provide armed protection, only information protection. If they wanted armed protection, they'd need to be higher-level wanderers or people with special contributions and value to the Alliance for them to intervene. Fresh chapters posted on novel·fire.net
Xiaoyao obviously hadn't reached this level yet, so if there were armed attacks, he could only rely on himself. The Wanderers' Alliance wouldn't specifically intervene.
That's right, they wouldn't specifically intervene, but if it happened within the Wanderers' Alliance's sphere of influence, they would definitely protect. The wanderers' sphere of influence generally referred to Wanderers' Alliance branches, Wanderers' Inns, and the legendary Wanderers' Alliance headquarters that no one had been to and no one knew where this mysterious headquarters was.
In other words, if Xiaoyao stayed at Wanderers' Inn or Wanderers' Alliance branches, theoretically he would be protected, but assassinations could still happen. And if others were too powerful, this protection couldn't provide much guarantee either, since the Wanderers' Alliance didn't have that many experts stationed everywhere.
However, under normal circumstances, Xiaoyao wouldn't accept protection because he believed his whereabouts wouldn't be tracked. If nothing unexpected happened, and even if discovered, he had ways to escape.
It was because of this that Xiaoyao was now walking in Lion City, the royal capital of Lion Country, in crowded, lively places where he could easily be attacked and discovered.
Xiaoyao didn't disguise himself at all, no disguise whatsoever. He even openly did something that attracted some people's attention.
Xiaoyao set up a stall in a crowded, lively place. The stall had a flag with two words written on it, "Recruiting."
On the cloth surface of the stall were some words:
Requirements: Can use Lion's Power. Request: Explain your Lion's Power level and cultivation status. ...
Xiaoyao just wanted to find people to do some experiments, wanting to crack Lion's Power. He was now very interested in this kind of bloodline technique.
Of course, he just wanted to research it. Whether he could actually crack it, he didn't necessarily insist on anything.
Xiaoyao's stall immediately attracted many people's attention, surrounding him and starting various discussions. Obviously, none understood what Xiaoyao wanted to do.
At this time, more and more people gathered, but it seemed no one came forward to ask. Most people were pointing and discussing but didn't think to come forward and ask.
This was an interesting thing. People were sometimes , they'd discuss for a long time first, then think to ask.
"Kid, what does this mean?" a man finally set this precedent.
"Nothing much. I want to do research and comprehensively understand everything about Lion's Power," Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Understand everything about Lion's Power? Couldn't you just buy a Lion's Power manual?" the man asked very puzzledly. For people like him, if they wanted to understand Lion's Power, they could just buy the technique directly, and this technique could be bought everywhere in Lion Country.
