Chapter 286: Chapter 286

Regarding this, the young woman proved this point. She had to find Chen Shiru's biography, a figure from three thousand years ago. This search was very troublesome, and she spent an entire day before finally finding it.

After reading Chen Shiru's simple record, which showed most of her life spent in one place, the young woman understood who the old friend Xiaoyao mentioned really was. From the collar Xiaoyao wanted to bury at the grave, she could also deduce that this matched exactly what was recorded above.

If Xiaoyao had only come here looking for an excuse, he couldn't possibly know such things. Therefore, there was only one explanation, what he said was fact, genuine and true.

However, this matter was still somewhat too mystical, so the young woman decided to find Xiaoyao to confirm. This was why she appeared in the small courtyard where Xiaoyao was temporarily staying.

When the young woman entered the courtyard, she saw Xiaoyao lying on a reclining chair sunbathing, looking very leisurely and comfortable. This made the young woman inexplicably annoyed, and she prepared to sneak over and tip the chair over.

"Young Miss, don't be so boring, okay."

When the young woman approached Xiaoyao, he spoke up, his eyes still closed.

"Been discovered, but..."

The young woman had been discovered, but she didn't plan to stop. She directly grabbed the chair and dumped Xiaoyao onto the ground.

Thump. Xiaoyao sprawled on the ground, limbs spread in a pitiful manner... "Haha..."

"Hey, hey, Young Miss, you came here for no reason just to mess with me." Xiaoyao patted the dust off his body and said somewhat helplessly.

Young Miss, this wasn't Xiaoyao's nickname for this young woman, but she really was a young miss of senior generation. When Xiaoyao learned this, he was also full of surprise and disbelief.

At that time, Xiaoyao learned that the reason those elders called this young woman "Young Miss" wasn't out of doting, but because of her generational rank, she really was their senior. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✦fire.net

In fact, in the Fang family, this young woman's generational rank wasn't even the highest. Some had even higher ranks, but those were from more distant branches and generally didn't gather together, so there wasn't such awkward generational differences.

At the same time, in other families, such situations were also very common. The main reason for this was that families were too large. When families were large, there were many people. Initially, among the same generation, one might be nearly twenty while another was just born. This created a generational gap that, over several generations, would result in increasingly large generational differences.

This was very common, so in great families, generational rank generally couldn't determine a person's power. Most important was still strength and ability.

This young woman not only had high generational rank but also great potential, so naturally she received the Fang family's attention. Basically, everyone had to address her as Young Miss. In fact, her generational rank might be even higher, but they unified it as an honorific title.

"Don't call me Young Miss. My name is Fang Ling. Since you've never treated me as an elder anyway, let's address each other as equals," the young woman said, revealing her name.

The young woman felt that when Xiaoyao called her Young Miss, it was more because he thought she was that kind of willful and domineering woman, definitely not because of generational relationships.

That's right, this was exactly Xiaoyao's thinking. He had never considered any elder relationship. Originally, this elder was also from the Fang family, and he still couldn't confirm whether he was really a Fang family member. There were some doubtful points that made him feel this situation might very well just be a misunderstanding.

Xiaoyao decided to go to the place where he was originally found, somewhere near East Sea City in the Eastern European Kingdom. To reach the Eastern European Kingdom from here, he would also have to pass through the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and he could visit the Mo family as well.

At the Mo family, he had only been a little servant. The Mo family head hadn't told him much, and even when he asked, he only learned things indirectly. Although he could now piece together the complete story and knew all the details, this was still knowledge gained indirectly. Having a chance to personally confirm would be best.

Now he would go ask the Mo family head directly. He was no longer a Mo family servant, and the Mo family was no longer his master family. If he wanted to ask, he didn't need to worry about status, he could ask directly.

Moreover, according to records, Fang Chunxue had also died in the Eastern European Kingdom, just not in East Sea City but in North Ming City, several hundred li north of East Sea City.

With such distance, who could say clearly what had really happened? Also, at that time they should have been being pursued. Losing that jade pendant would be very normal, and it was also possible they had traded it with someone out of desperation. In any case, the possibilities were becoming smaller and smaller.

Perhaps at that time, he himself might have just been a passerby, an abandoned passerby.

Although this jade pendant might not have originally belonged to his parents, it was still a clue. It had been on him at that time, and there was a high probability his parents had placed it there. Even if it wasn't originally his parents', it was still a kind of proof.

To know these things, he still needed to make a trip to the Eastern European Kingdom. Xiaoyao planned to depart tomorrow, after letting Mao Mao eat his fill.

Currently, Mao Mao was already at the Fang family pasture. Although Mao Mao could eat a lot, it wasn't much for the Fang family, and they wouldn't mind this point. If it were Chi Chi though, they might possibly mind.

Of course, these were all future matters. Xiaoyao currently had to face Fang Ling. Although he didn't particularly want to face her, she was still the host family after all. Sigh, when under someone's roof.

"Miss Fang Ling, what do you need from me?" Xiaoyao said respectfully.

"Let me ask you, the old friend you mentioned is that fox-dog?" Fang Ling asked. She didn't know how to describe whether Chen Xi was a fox or dog. Some said fox, some said dog, so she simply combined them.

"That's a fox monster beast, now already Monster Clan. He's currently guarding the courtyard where Chen Shiru once lived. It's because of this that he couldn't come." Xiaoyao said.

"Guarding the courtyard? You mean he's also guarding that villa for Ancestor Chen Shiru?" Fang Ling asked with a face full of surprise.

"Yes, he said one life for one life." Xiaoyao said with emotion, while straightening the chair and continuing to lie down and sunbathe.

"Ah..." Fang Ling was stunned. "One life for one life"... so moving. I wish I had someone like that waiting for me...

When Fang Ling said this, she looked toward Xiaoyao. Of course, this wasn't because she liked Xiaoyao, but because he was the only person here, and she just wanted to find someone to express her thoughts to.

"Don't look at me, I'm not your lover." Xiaoyao said irritably.

"They weren't either." Fang Ling said. The most important reason she looked at Xiaoyao was this, Chen Xi and Chen Shiru weren't lovers, and their feelings weren't romantic love either.

"Then fine, you wait here for me for a lifetime. After you die, I'll guard here for you for a lifetime." Xiaoyao said very seriously, seeming to really agree to this matter.

"Really? Would you really do this?" Fang Ling's eyes lit up as she looked at Xiaoyao, her eyes glistening with tears, seeming very moved.

"Mm, I would do this." Xiaoyao nodded very earnestly, without any hint of lying.

"Really? Why do I feel your words can't be trusted..." Fang Ling looked at Xiaoyao, always feeling something was wrong.

"You should trust me. I can swear to heaven." Xiaoyao looked ready to make an oath.

Could it be true? Seeing Xiaoyao , Fang Ling had doubts in her heart.

Fang Ling suddenly thought of something, a crucial matter in this affair, which was also why Xiaoyao would say such things. Even if he agreed, he wouldn't need to bear any responsibility.

"You're too shameless. If I guard here for a lifetime, you'd also be near death or maybe already dead. Then I'd guard for you for a lifetime for nothing." Fang Ling roared angrily.

Right, Xiaoyao wasn't Chen Xi, he didn't have such a long lifespan. His and Fang Ling's lifespans were about the same. If Fang Ling really guarded for a lifetime, by then Xiaoyao would have at most a few years left, possibly dying even earlier than her.

"One life for one life, you can't control how long my lifetime is. I would have fulfilled it." Xiaoyao said very shamelessly.

"You. Fine, I won't discuss this with you anymore. Are you planning to leave tomorrow?" Fang Ling held back her anger and asked Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Yes, I'm leaving. The matters here are finished. Do you old one have anything to instruct or order?"

"What do you mean 'you old one'? Am I very old?" Fang Ling got angry.

"Everyone calls you Young Miss, how are you not old? Of course, I'm only talking about generational rank," Xiaoyao shrugged with a somewhat evasive tone, which made Fang Ling very annoyed.

"Are you looking for death, kid? If you're a Fang family member, I'll definitely make you suffer."

"Then I hope I'm not." Xiaoyao immediately said.

"Um, kid, could you take me out to wander around?" Fang Ling changed her tone to a very gentle one, because she was asking for a favor.

"What?. Of course not. If you want to go out, just go out yourself. The Fang family surely wouldn't dare restrict you, this Young Miss," Xiaoyao directly refused.

"The problem isn't them restricting me, but according to Fang family rules, to go out for training, one must be at least twenty-two years old and have King Level or above strength..." Fang Ling said somewhat dejectedly.

"Don't you already meet the requirements? You have King Level strength and are almost thirty..." Xiaoyao said indifferently.

"Damn, what do you mean? I'm only twenty-one." Fang Ling got angry, grabbed Xiaoyao's chair and tipped it again. Xiaoyao had another intimate contact with the ground.
