Chapter 297: Chapter 297

With insight, there are no obstacles, or at least fewer obstacles. As long as the speed of advancement isn't slow, you'll eventually surpass everyone.

Xiaoyao might not have high talent, but his foundation is solid. Most importantly, he has no obstacles at all. On his path of strength improvement, he only needs to advance, advance, advance... Using the phrase "when conditions ripen, success will follow naturally" to describe Xiaoyao's situation is very appropriate. As long as his internal energy reaches the required level, his rank naturally goes up.

This is what's most enviable, and also something that can't be envied, because everyone can only comprehend realms themselves. Even if others can help, it's only assistance, ultimately it depends on oneself. Especially after reaching King Level, even the possibility of assistance disappears.

Not many people know about Xiaoyao's situation. Those who know his realm is high haven't thought in this direction. At the same time, even knowing his realm is high, they don't know exactly how high, so this could be said to be unknown to anyone.

"Just General Level, what's so strange about that? You two were already General Level several years ago," Xiaoyao wasn't very concerned about the Young Miss and her companion's surprise.

"That's us, we're geniuses among geniuses, elites among elites. Of course, I'm a bit stronger than Nangong Suxin," the Young Miss raised her head with an "I'm the greatest" attitude.

"Hmph." Nangong Suxin snorted coldly. She didn't refute, not because she was too lazy to bother or was used to it, but because at this moment, the Young Miss was indeed slightly stronger than her. Of course, she would soon catch up, though the Young Miss might catch up again too.

Their current situation was: you surpass me, I surpass you, neither accepting the other, using each other as targets, constantly competing and surpassing.

Sometimes, having a competitor is also a good thing. This is why some people in undefeated positions become very lonely, wanting to find opponents everywhere, wanting to find someone who can defeat them.

People are just that... no, it should be said they need competitive drive. Only with competition can they progress faster.

"So I'm several years later than you, that's very normal," Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.

"Let's not talk about this. Why did you suddenly come back here?" Nangong Suxin didn't let this topic continue. Thinking about it, it was quite normal. Xiaoyao should have had high strength anyway, even Emperor Level would be normal. His original strength was really too low, and even his current strength was still very low.

Therefore, this topic wasn't worth discussing, it was just a small matter. Currently, what Nangong Suxin and the others most wanted to know was why Xiaoyao had suddenly returned here. There wasn't anything interesting happening here for him.

"Right, why did you come back? Logically, you went to roam the martial world, you wouldn't come back here without good reason. Even passing through wouldn't be possible, you wouldn't choose this route," the Young Miss was also very curious, looking at Xiaoyao wanting an answer.

The Young Miss also understood Xiaoyao well. Even if Heavenly Wind Kingdom was between Xiaoyao's destination and current location, he would choose other routes rather than pass through Heavenly Wind Kingdom.

Therefore, Xiaoyao's return must have a reason.

"I came to find the Old Master... that is, your grandfather, the head of the Mo family, to discuss some details about when he found me," Xiaoyao habitually used his old form of address, then realized it wasn't quite appropriate anymore and immediately corrected himself.

Regarding Xiaoyao's change, the three young women understood clearly. Since Xiaoyao was unwilling to talk about it, they were similarly unwilling to mention it. Of course, the Nangong sisters actually didn't mind, Xiaoyao being expelled from the Mo family was a good thing for them. But since it wasn't particularly glorious for Xiaoyao, there was no need to bring it up.

They also understood that the most uncomfortable person here was the Young Miss, because she was caught in the middle in a difficult position. Fortunately, there was no conflict between both sides now, otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.

"Background? Why suddenly bring this up?" The Young Miss was somewhat puzzled. Xiaoyao had never searched for anything regarding his own background. All these years, he never had, but now he suddenly wanted to talk about this matter, which was a bit strange.

Could it be that the Great Tang Empire side already had something that needed confirmation?

Speaking of this matter, the Young Miss hadn't told the Mo family, because this matter was still an unknown quantity. Moreover, those who knew also understood that this matter shouldn't be spread around until it was truly confirmed.

Because of this, very few people knew about this matter, as everyone tacitly kept quiet.

"Because someone said this jade pendant came from a woman," Xiaoyao touched the jade pendant he wore.

"Ah, then..." The Young Miss wanted to ask something but was quickly interrupted by Xiaoyao. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel fire.net

"I know what you want to say. This isn't the same woman, which means I currently have two people who might be my mother. So I need to clarify some details," Xiaoyao smiled, speaking very calmly, as if this matter wasn't very important, even as if it had nothing to do with him.

Of course, this was just appearing calm. If he truly didn't care, he wouldn't have come here. He just felt this matter should take its natural course, no need to deliberately search, no need to deliberately avoid. When he found clues, he'd investigate. If he didn't find any, he'd continue living .

"Ah, not the same person? How could this be? Then how do you plan to clarify?" The Young Miss exclaimed again, not expecting the situation to be different from what she imagined.

"Right now I need to investigate some details to determine who exactly is my mother, or whether neither of them is," Xiaoyao waved his hand, speaking somewhat nonchalantly.

He didn't know why, but Xiaoyao felt this matter might have unexpected developments. The previous two possibilities might just be possibilities, because he seemed to have never had any special feelings toward either of them, even though both had passed away, it shouldn't be .

This might also be because Xiaoyao's attitude toward this matter was indifferent, he had always been content to let fate decide.

"Neither of them? That shouldn't be possible, right? I think the previous possibility is more likely, after all, you look so similar," the Young Miss said.

After hearing the Young Miss's words, Nangong Suxin argued back, "What can resemblance prove? People can look similar, even those without blood relations can look alike. Have you forgotten? Among our subordinates, Linlin and Yeye come from different countries with different parents, but they're very similar."

"That's just a special case, right?" The Young Miss weakened a bit. It was such a coincidence that in their military camp, there were indeed two female soldiers who looked very similar, unfamiliar people couldn't tell who was who.

"Perhaps the little servant is a special case," Nangong Suxin said.

"This..." The Young Miss couldn't refute. Although the possibility was small, it was still possible.

"Xiaoyao, then who is your other mother... the other person who might be your mother?" Nangong Su wanted to know, but she realized her previous phrasing seemed wrong and immediately corrected herself.

"It's not convenient to say here. Let's find a quiet place first," Xiaoyao said.

There was no problem telling them, but with so many people watching nearby, it was really inconvenient to talk. Xiaoyao didn't want his affairs to be passed around.

This matter involved the Fang family, plus Xiaoyao was originally a servant of the Mo family and grew up in Qingyun City, this would become even more gossipy material. Once people knew, it would definitely cause a citywide stir. This wasn't what Xiaoyao wanted to see, he just wanted to live quietly.

Although some people now knew about Xiaoyao, he was still very low-key. Overall, he was still an obscure person, at least to those who hadn't come into contact with him.

"Right, let's find a place to talk. There are too many people here." The Young Miss nodded, then turned to smile at the people behind, "Quickly make way."

"Ah, quick, quick. Young Miss Mo Yu wants us to make way. Those who don't want to die, move aside."

Although the Young Miss was smiling, the people in front of her felt this smile was dangerous. For their safety, they reluctantly made way, and when people behind heard the Young Miss was leaving, they naturally cleared a path.

In fact, at this time, everyone already felt there was no more show and began to disperse, not like before when they all wanted to squeeze here to watch the excitement.

"Little servant, why aren't you leaving?"

When the Young Miss led the way in front, Nangong Suxin noticed Xiaoyao didn't seem to intend to leave, but instead walked in the opposite direction, so she stopped.

"If I'm leaving, I need to pack things first," Xiaoyao replied, continuing forward.

"Pack what things?" Nangong Suxin was somewhat puzzled, not understanding for a moment, but soon she knew. What Xiaoyao wanted to pack was—

"Of course these instruments. I already bought them, they're good quality," Xiaoyao said while putting the instruments from the old man's stall onto Mao Mao.

He had already bought these instruments. Whether the old man escaped or not, these all belonged to him, so naturally he had to take them back.

"Right, I forgot. I'll help you." The Young Miss said at this moment, kindly offering to help, but Xiaoyao refused.

"Don't, you're clumsy. If you break something, I'll have to repair it, which would waste more time," Xiaoyao stopped the Young Miss and continued taking the items.

The Young Miss pouted, very displeased, "What's that supposed to mean? I'm kindly helping you, and you're still disdaining me."
