Chapter 302: Chapter 302

"I thought you were going to say something else. If you want Mao Mao, just say so directly. I'll give it to you," Xiaoyao didn't let the Young Miss continue entangling this topic and spoke directly, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.

So it was just for Mao Mao, scared me to death. I thought she wanted my pure and innocent body that I've guarded like jade...

"Ah, you agreed?" Xiaoyao's straightforwardness left Nangong Suxin unable to react. She had originally thought it might be very difficult, because when the Young Miss had forcibly requisitioned that horse, she had used quite a few methods.

"Damn, Xiaoyao, what do you mean? I begged for so long back then before you gave me a horse. Now Nangong Suxin just mentions it once and you give it to her. Are you not putting me, this Young Miss, in your eyes anymore?" The Young Miss was angry, grabbing Xiaoyao's ear to torture him.

"Ah, no, how could that be? Young Miss, you are immortal in my heart." Xiaoyao immediately cried out, trying to pull away the Young Miss's hand to free his ear.

"That's more like it... wait, what do you mean by 'immortal'? Are you cursing me?" The Young Miss let go of Xiaoyao, but soon realized something was wrong and wanted to grab Xiaoyao again. By then, Xiaoyao had already fled.

"Actually, I was planning to give Mao Mao away long ago. It eats too much, I think it's better to raise another mount. Alright, I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me." Xiaoyao's voice came from inside the house. This time, he was determined to sleep through to the end, no one could disrupt it.

Mao Mao's appetite was a problem, but it wasn't Xiaoyao's reason for transferring it to Nangong Suxin. Actually, as a monster beast, Mao Mao was quite suitable for battlefields. Although its speed wasn't very fast, it had great strength and strong defense. If Nangong Suxin needed it, he didn't mind giving it to her.

After all, in this situation, Nangong Suxin needed it more than he did. He didn't care, he could get another one. In a couple of days, he'd look for other mounts.

"So that's how it is. He just didn't want it anymore. You just picked up garbage," the Young Miss looked at Nangong Suxin proudly again.

"Too lazy to deal with you. Going to sleep." Nangong Suxin ignored the Young Miss.

If you ignore me, so be it. I have Susu.

"Susu..." the Young Miss looked toward Nangong Su.

"I'm going back to my own room. Good night." Nangong Su waved her hand and ran off in a flash. Her speed was no slower than a martial artist's, making people wonder if she had trained.

"Forget it, I'm going home. Tomorrow I'll go find Grandfather." the Young Miss said pitifully. She was preparing to go home. Although it was dangerous for a girl to go home alone at midnight, this only applied to ordinary girls, it didn't apply to the Young Miss at all.

No one in all of Qingyun City dared to provoke her. Even if she went home alone at midnight, those with ill intentions on the road would retreat three steps when they saw her, or simply abandon tonight's activities.

Qingyun City's public security seemed to suddenly improve tonight...

The next day, when Xiaoyao got up, he found the sun was already high in the sky, and there seemed to be no movement outside. Were they all still sleeping?

Xiaoyao didn't mind. He first went to wash up, then looked for breakfast. Soon he found breakfast laid out on the table, a very rich breakfast.

This breakfast wasn't automatically prepared by servants, but arranged by Nangong Suxin. Xiaoyao knew this because he saw a note on the table.

"Little servant, we're attending the conference. Entertain yourself, Nangong Suxin"

So Nangong Suxin wasn't still sleeping, but had already gone to attend that conference. Although the conference's official start date wasn't today, it seemed everyone had arrived, so they began discussing some matters first. This could be called a prelude to the formal beginning.

Nangong Suxin originally didn't want to participate, but when she discovered the Young Miss was also going, she had to go.

This wasn't because she wanted to be with the Young Miss, but because she didn't feel safe leaving the Young Miss alone with her sister. Even attending a conference with so many people, she still felt it was dangerous. The Young Miss was a dangerous existence, she didn't know how many times she had stopped the Young Miss's night raids on her sister.

At that time, Nangong Suxin found it strange why the Young Miss didn't stay to talk with Xiaoyao and ran off to attend a military conference.

The answer she got was:

"I've seen Xiaoyao and chatted with him. I'm not his lover, just his brother. Why would I cling to him? If you're interested, go cling to him yourself. I don't have such idle time."

The Young Miss also said another line:

"I heard there are several beauties at this conference. I want to go see."

Regarding this, Nangong Suxin could only express helplessness. The Young Miss abandoning Xiaoyao to "pick up girls" was very normal and she didn't find anything unusual about it.

For the Nangong sisters to leave Xiaoyao behind was even more normal, especially when they had serious business. They had always been before and wouldn't have any special changes in the future.

Caring was caring, but that didn't mean they had to be together all day.

Xiaoyao also found another note left by the Young Miss, meaning she had already spoken with the Mo family head. The Mo family head said he would send someone to call him when he had time. The Mo family had many affairs recently, so Xiaoyao's matter might take a long time and naturally needed time arrangement.

Also, the Young Miss told Xiaoyao it was best to stay at the Nangong family. The Nangong family had people for protection, and if yesterday's old man wanted to return, there would be some security.

"Then I'll play here for a while." Xiaoyao was surprisingly obedient, staying in Nangong Suxin's courtyard.

Was this because he listened to the Young Miss, or because he wanted to wait for news from the Mo family head?

Actually, it was a bit of both, but not entirely. Xiaoyao wanted to try the instruments he bought yesterday. He still felt unsatisfied with yesterday's "Laughing at the Vast Sea" and had some new insights that he wanted to try again.

So Nangong Suxin's courtyard began to fill with intoxicating melodies, causing some of the Nangong family's daily routines to deviate. Near Nangong Suxin's courtyard, some listeners unknowingly gathered, but no one dared to enter.

Nangong Suxin's courtyard was not accessible to ordinary people, even Nangong family members were the same. Except for some serving maids, only people close to Nangong Suxin could enter. If others entered, they would be lightly punished and severely admonished by the family head.

"This part is wrong. Why do I feel this score is hiding something?"

Xiaoyao was unaware of the outside situation. He was just contemplating. He discovered there was something different about this score, the more he studied it, the more he found something wrong.

There must be secrets within, otherwise that old man couldn't have waited so patiently for someone who could play it to appear. But what exactly was it?

Xiaoyao couldn't figure it out...

However, it was impossible to figure out everything in the world, so Xiaoyao didn't particularly force anything. He just naturally made an effort without forcing results. Not forcing didn't mean giving up.

So Xiaoyao entered a research state again, forgetting everything. At this time, no one came to disturb him, allowing him to gain considerable insight into this score.

"So that's how it is. No wonder, no wonder I felt something was missing." Xiaoyao finally discovered where the problem lay. It wasn't in the composition, but in the instruments. This score required special instruments to be fully expressed. However... these instruments shouldn't be ordinary instruments. This might not be about instruments at all, but a special mechanism technique. Those special instruments should be the key to opening the mechanism.

Regarding such mechanisms, Xiaoyao had also studied them before. However, he could be certain that this mechanism's design was much more complex than any he had seen.

If this was really the case, Xiaoyao had some expectations. This mechanism must be quite good, and whatever was revealed after opening it would definitely be better. Otherwise, that old man wouldn't have such patience and wouldn't hesitate to offend an enemy like the Young Miss.

Xiaoyao believed that old man must be secretly watching him and would definitely find another opportunity to act. However, there was no need to worry. After asking the Mo family head this time, he would leave. Then that old man couldn't possibly find him again.

As for the Mo family head's matter, it could be resolved today. The possibility of problems was small. Moreover, even if situations arose, he could face them and solve them independently.

This wasn't about whether the opponent was an Emperor Level martial artist or not, but because the opponent needed something from him. Before completing the task, the opponent couldn't possibly do anything to him, at most just threaten him, without life-threatening danger.

As long as he didn't die, Xiaoyao would always have ways to deal with the opponent, and there were quite a few such methods.

After Xiaoyao's music stopped, people outside all felt unsatisfied, then went to do their work. They couldn't enter anyway, so what was the point of staying here? Moreover, they had already wasted a lot of time here and would be busy.

Xiaoyao looked at the score for a while longer. Before he could close it, someone came to notify him that Mo family people were outside asking him to go to the Mo family. It should be time to discuss that matter.

So Xiaoyao immediately set off, walking out of the Nangong family. Mo family members were already waiting at the main gate, and a carriage was prepared. Xiaoyao greeted the coachman, then got into the carriage.

This coachman was naturally someone Xiaoyao recognized. Even though Xiaoyao had been away for several years, most of the original Mo family people were still there, and this happened to be one of the original people.

However, this coachman didn't pay much attention to Xiaoyao, seeming to have become somewhat arrogant, with a sense of looking down on small figures like Xiaoyao. The accompanying Mo family member was even more arrogant, looking at people with eyes angled forty-five degrees downward. Orıginal content can be found at novel·fiɾe·net

Not only was he toward Xiaoyao, but also toward the Nangong family people.
