Chapter 298: Chapter 298
The people watching nearby were very surprised, finding the Young Miss's attitude incomprehensible. Logically, when someone refused her, they would definitely be retaliated against, but now there was nothing.
Although displeased, it was the kind of displeasure where she was just grumbling to herself. This was completely beyond everyone's understanding.
Who was this young man? Why could he make Mo Yu, this tyrant young miss, so well-behaved? For the Young Miss, this was indeed a very well-behaved performance.
If he was a servant, he should belong to the Mo family, so this young man should be from Qingyun City. How come they had never heard of him before?
Also, what kind of servant could make Young Miss Mo Yu act ?
Wait, Xiaoyao, this name seems familiar...
Some people suddenly found Xiaoyao's name very familiar, and at the same time, some seemed to recognize Xiaoyao. Although Xiaoyao kept a low profile, having been here for over ten years, he had still come into contact with quite a few people.
"I, I remember now. Xiaoyao is indeed a servant of the Mo family, we've done business with our shop."
"Yes, I remember too. During the Lantern Festival, he played the yangqin once. That feeling was similar to this time. I was wondering why today's feeling seemed so familiar."
Soon, Xiaoyao was remembered by everyone, and more and more incidents were dug up. However, most were small matters, the most outstanding was still that Lantern Festival night.
This time, everyone would probably talk about it for a few days like that Lantern Festival night, then it would gradually fade. As long as Xiaoyao didn't have any subsequent sensational events, even if today was quite outstanding, people would forget about it.
Even the most famous people would become unfamous after lying low for a long time, then be forgotten. They might be remembered when occasionally mentioned, but wouldn't be talked about constantly. Xiaoyao wasn't famous to begin with, so even fewer people would think of him.
"I also heard he was Guxing's servant, they were expelled from the Mo family together."
"Do you want to die? How dare you mention Guxing, that's taboo for the Mo family."
When someone thought of Xiaoyao's connection to Guxing and started saying a few words, they were quickly reminded by others, and then no one mentioned this matter anymore.
Guxing was taboo for the Mo family. He had been taboo since birth, and after the Mo family officially distanced themselves from Guxing, he became even more taboo. However, the reason for this taboo became somewhat different.
Before, it was because of the Mo family head's reasons, but afterward, it was because Guxing had provoked powerful enemies and the Mo family didn't want to be implicated.
Why didn't these people dare to speak?
Very simple, still because of the Mo family.
The current Mo family was very powerful, not just in Qingyun City, but even in Heavenly Wind Kingdom. This was because the Mo family had produced a military god of the Great Tang Empire, a martial artist with Emperor Level strength.
Either one alone could allow the Mo family to run rampant in this small Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and even on the entire continent, they would have a voice.
All of this was naturally because of the Young Miss, because she was that military god, that Emperor Level martial artist.
The current Mo family head was even more certain of one thing, that the Young Miss could truly bring prosperity and glory to the Mo family, could push the Mo family to its peak.
The Mo family head didn't waste this advantage and began recruiting troops and expanding power. Because of the Young Miss's existence, many people felt the Mo family had prospects, making recruitment easy. Because of this, the Mo family's strength began expanding rapidly. In just a few short years, it became Heavenly Wind Kingdom's number one family.
Naturally, the Mo family became very powerful in Qingyun City. Under such circumstances, the common people of Qingyun City naturally had to watch the Mo family's expression and couldn't casually criticize the Mo family's taboos.
This wasn't them overthinking, such incidents had actually happened. After some people discussed Guxing's affairs, they were suppressed by the Mo family.
Xiaoyao paid no attention to these matters, perhaps because he had long imagined this would happen. Since this matter had no impact on him, why should he care?
"Eh, what is this thing? Is it Chi Chi?"
The Young Miss discovered Mao Mao and found it very strange, casually patting it a few times.
Why would she suspect it was Chi Chi? This wasn't because she hadn't thought about it, on the contrary, it was precisely because she had thought about it that she had such suspicions.
Chi Chi would generally be near Xiaoyao, that was one reason. Second, Chi Chi and Mao Mao were both white-furred monster beasts. Finally, Chi Chi was still developing, and no one knew what it would become, maybe it would be like Mao Mao.
Also, when she parted with Xiaoyao, he didn't have Mao Mao yet. The sudden appearance of such a creature naturally made her think of Chi Chi.
Of course, there was also the most important point, the Young Miss didn't recognize Mao Mao's species.
"Mo Yu, it's a type of monster beast mount, it shouldn't be Chi Chi," Nangong Su said. Having read extensively, she could naturally tell what Mao Mao was.
"Right, it's not. Chi Chi is sleeping somewhere and isn't with me recently. Mao Mao is a monster beast I newly adopted, very good, with great strength," Xiaoyao said after putting away the last instrument, then leaped onto Mao Mao's back, preparing to leave.
Just then, Nangong Suxin suddenly jumped onto Mao Mao without a word, which stunned the Young Miss for a moment. She didn't understand what Nangong Suxin was doing, but soon stopped thinking about it and also jumped on.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled by their behavior. Why were they all coming up? Fortunately, Mao Mao was quite large and strong, it wasn't overloaded and there was still some space.
"I don't know. I only know that Nangong Suxin came up, so I had to come up too." The Young Miss shook her head very straightforwardly, then stated her reason, a very simple and direct reason.
Regarding this reason, Xiaoyao nodded, approved.
"Miss Suxin, what's your situation?" Xiaoyao looked toward Nangong Suxin, which made her very displeased. She was annoyed about why Xiaoyao was so indulgent toward the Young Miss while questioning her.
So she got angry and demanded, "What does the little servant mean by this? Why only ask me?"
"What do you mean 'only ask you'? Didn't I just ask the Young Miss?" Xiaoyao asked back somewhat puzzled. He had just asked the Young Miss first.
"You call that asking?" Nangong Suxin said irritably.
"Of course, she also gave me a reason," Xiaoyao replied.
"That counts as a reason?" Although Nangong Suxin already knew this result, she still felt somewhat helpless. These two people were both so remarkable, this could actually form a reason.
"Why couldn't it count? She indeed came up because of you. So now I want to know your reason. You can't say you came up because you knew the Young Miss would come up," Xiaoyao said, then extended his hand toward Nangong Su, meaning to help her up.
Since three people had already come up, he didn't mind one more person. This way, they could talk directly on Mao Mao's back.
Nangong Su smiled without speaking, grabbed Xiaoyao's hand to borrow strength and came up, sitting beside Xiaoyao naturally and gracefully, without any awkwardness.
This was very different from her attitude toward other people. If it were someone else, she would definitely politely speak words of courteous refusal, wouldn't grab the other person's hand, and certainly wouldn't sit beside them.
At this moment, Nangong Suxin changed her expression, smiled, and said, "You guessed right. I came up first precisely because I knew Mo Yu would come up."
"Oh, I see. So where should we go now?" Xiaoyao just said "oh," then asked everyone where they should go to discuss the previous topic.
"..." Nangong Suxin fell silent for a while. She hadn't expected Xiaoyao would also not doubt this reason of hers and actually accepted it.
Regarding this, Nangong Suxin definitely wouldn't think Xiaoyao was naturally . If it were before, even if he didn't care, he would at least casually question a few words, but now he didn't.
This seemed to indicate that Xiaoyao treated her the same way, with the same attitude as toward the Young Miss. This meant the distance between her and him seemed to have gotten closer, no longer being an outsider like before.
Previously, although Xiaoyao treated Nangong Suxin well, it was just "well", far different from how he treated the Young Miss, with an obvious distinction, just like he sometimes said, "You're an outsider."
Now, although there were still differences, they weren't very obvious anymore and had become somewhat blurred.
"Let's go to my house," Nangong Suxin said.
If it were before, the Young Miss would definitely object, "Why go to your house? He's my person, so of course we should go to my house."
This time, she didn't speak, seeming to tacitly agree to this matter, because Xiaoyao's status was somewhat awkward for the Mo family now, so she didn't object. The most update n0vels are published on N()velFire.net
"That's fine. Do you have spare guest rooms? I need lodging, all the inns outside are full," Xiaoyao wasn't polite. He happened to need a place to stay, and believed the Nangong family, being so large, would definitely have spare rooms.
"Of course we do. If you need lodging, even if there's no place, you can stay in my courtyard. Why don't you just stay in my courtyard?" Nangong Suxin said with a smile, finding this idea quite good.
"I object. It's fine if you stay at the Nangong family, but you absolutely cannot live together with her," the Young Miss immediately said.
"Why not?" Xiaoyao and Nangong Suxin asked together. Of course, Xiaoyao was just asking casually, it wasn't that he wanted to live together with Nangong Suxin. He was just curious why the Young Miss would object to this.
If he were to live together with Nangong Su, then the Young Miss's objection would be very normal, because Nangong Su was the target of her pursuit. But with Nangong Suxin, this objection became abnormal.
