Chapter 303: Chapter 303

Regarding this, Xiaoyao had nothing to say. This was very normal, and it was also something he couldn't speak about. Even if he did, it would be useless, no one would listen. With such attitudes, even if the King of Heavenly Wind Kingdom came, it wouldn't have much effect. Only the Mo family head, or after they received a lesson.

What Xiaoyao found very interesting was that the Nangong family people seemed very low-key, excessively low-key.

With the Nangong family's power, even if the Mo family was currently very strong, they couldn't compare to the Nangong family. There was also one more point, the most important point, the Mo family was strong because of the Young Miss, but don't forget that Nangong Suxin was someone with the same status and strength as the Young Miss.

In other words, even without the main family as backing, the Nangong family was enough to compete with the Mo family. At the same time, the Nangong family also had Nangong Su, making them much stronger than the Mo family.

The current situation was that the Mo family was very arrogant while the Nangong family was very low-key, a very stark contrast and a very ironic one. However, the Mo family people didn't see this. What they saw was only the Nangong family's low-key forbearance, so they became even more arrogant.

To use a metaphor that might be more appropriate: the current Mo family was like nouveau riche, the kind that showed off their wealth, while the Nangong family was a inherited family with deep heritage.

However, Xiaoyao felt the Nangong family didn't need to be so low-key. Could there be some matter involved?

Xiaoyao couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it. He could ask Nangong Suxin later and would know. Why think about these meaningless things? Currently, the most important thing was still his own matter.

The journey to the Mo family was silent. Although the atmosphere wasn't great, nothing happened, which was also a good thing.

This was the dialogue when Xiaoyao met the Mo family head. Although they bowed, it was just ordinary courtesy, not the deep bow from before. After all, he wasn't a Mo family person now, so naturally he didn't need to bow deeply anymore.

However, his behavior made some nearby people very displeased, and the Mo family head also frowned, showing some displeasure.

Perhaps the Mo family head didn't have that kind of arrogance like others, but for Xiaoyao, who was once his servant, to now show such equal courtesy when meeting him made him somewhat unhappy, especially since Xiaoyao was just a small figure.

Even though he was meeting with Xiaoyao this time, he hadn't considered Xiaoyao as a significant person. For such a person to not show him respect made the recently prestigious Mo family head unhappy.

However, he didn't take it too much to heart, not because he was broad-minded, but because he could soon make Xiaoyao look bad.

"I think the family head should be very busy. Let's get straight to the point. Could the family head please tell me about when you found me? Please include details too. I believe with the family head's ability, there won't be any memory issues," Xiaoyao went straight to the topic. He didn't want to waste time and also felt the current environment was somewhat oppressive and unpleasant.

He didn't know if this was the Mo family head's recent habit, but the scene seemed a bit grand. Guards were standing in this room and nearby, and they were all relatively strong ones. Updates are released by NoveI(F)ire.net

This seemed like some kind of encirclement, as if ambushing someone.

Who for? Xiaoyao didn't think much about it because he felt this scene definitely wasn't for him. He hadn't offended the Mo family, and even if he had, it wouldn't warrant such a big scene to deal with him.

Also, this might just be a show of grandeur.

"When I found you, although I don't remember very clearly, telling you doesn't matter. Consider it your last request," the Mo family head said indifferently.

Last request? What did that mean?

Xiaoyao found this phrasing strange, but didn't ask. He took it to mean this was their last meeting. He only wanted to know the situation at that time, everything else didn't matter.

"When I found you, it was near East Sea City in the Eastern European Kingdom, on a barren small hill. I can't remember the exact location, only that there was a village nearby called Small Mountain Village, that was literally its name," the Mo family head said.

"Were there any clues around me at that time?" Xiaoyao asked.

"None. Except for that jade pendant, there was nothing," the Mo family head said.

"Were there no traces of fighting on the ground?" Xiaoyao asked again.

"None. Not a single trace, not even footprints. It was as if you appeared out of thin air. But where you were located was beside a main road, very easy to be discovered. It should have been your parents abandoning you but not wanting you to die," the Mo family head said.

As expected, still worthless. He had actually learned about these things through some people who were present at the time, and had asked about details too. He knew them best in his heart, but still wanted to try.

"What were my clothes like at that time?" Xiaoyao asked. Besides the jade pendant he had seen, clothing was also a remaining item, but he hadn't seen it because it had been carelessly thrown away long ago.

Regarding this clothing, there were many different accounts. Some said it was white, others said yellow. Some said it was linen, others said cotton, etc. This was the most inconsistent account because few people would remember what an unrelated child was wearing. However, it could be confirmed that the clothes were very ordinary, the kind of common fabric seen everywhere.

"It was a earth-yellow small cotton jacket with no marks on it. You don't need to think about this, this kind of jacket is very common in the Eastern European Kingdom. It can't indicate where it's from, so there are no clues either," the Mo family head said.

Next, Xiaoyao continued asking several more questions. After all, these were all hopes that couldn't be missed, it was just a matter of moving his mouth.

"Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to enlighten me, family head. Now I'll take my leave," Xiaoyao cupped his hands, preparing to leave.

"Since you came, don't leave. Stay," the Mo family head said indifferently, his intentions unclear.

"Stay? No need to be so polite. I still have matters to attend to. I won't disturb you further," Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

At this moment, people nearby all laughed, the kind of laughter as if looking at a fool or idiot. That's right, in their eyes, the current Xiaoyao was a laughable fool.

Xiaoyao also laughed, which made all the Mo family people stop laughing. They didn't understand what Xiaoyao was laughing about, leaving them somewhat puzzled.

"What are you laughing at?" The Mo family head was also confused by Xiaoyao's laughter.

Xiaoyao smiled, looking at the Mo family head meaningfully, and asked back, "What are you all laughing at?"

This question made people feel this fool was just laughing along with them, just silly laughter. This made them look down on Xiaoyao even more, with contemptuous sneers appearing at the corners of their mouths.

"We're laughing at your stupidity. We didn't expect you to be even more foolish than we imagined. The current situation is obvious, you can't possibly leave," someone said with a laugh. This person seemed to be someone Xiaoyao recognized.

"Lin Yi? How are you here? Oh right, you weren't selected back then and could only return home," Xiaoyao looked at that person, it was Lin Yi, who had had several encounters with Xiaoyao and some unpleasantness.

Xiaoyao's words were obviously meant to provoke Lin Yi. This was his painful point. Among the Mo family members who participated back then, he considered himself the most outstanding, but he was the only one eliminated.

Although the Mo family's Third Young Master wasn't as strong as the Young Miss, his sect was still decent. His current strength progress was far higher than Lin Yi's, and this distance would surely grow larger.

Recently, because of the Mo family's prestige, Lin Yi's status had also risen, but no matter what, it wasn't as important as actual strength. Moreover, this kind of status wasn't as practical as entering those sects.

Regarding this failure, with his personality, he didn't look for reasons within himself but blamed others. He felt that without Guxing, without Mo Yu, without Third Young Master, he would have succeeded.

The previous success of the three had some connection to Xiaoyao, so he harbored great resentment toward Xiaoyao.

At the same time, although he felt Xiaoyao had helped others, like everyone else, he looked down on Xiaoyao himself, considering him just a small figure, a small figure he could manipulate at will.

"I wasn't selected, that's true. At least I'm a young master of the Mo family. And you are just a little servant expelled by the Mo family, moreover, a little servant who will die today," Lin Yi suppressed his anger and said coldly.

"Die today? That's not necessarily true. Although I'm not the type to live to a hundred, I'm not short-lived either. You look more like the short-lived type. Within three years, you'll definitely have a bloody disaster," Xiaoyao said with a smile, appearing very calm.

This appearance, in others' eyes, seemed like someone who didn't know his situation even when death was imminent.

"Really won't cry until you see the coffin. Do you know what your current situation is? You definitely don't know," Lin Yi sneered, his mockery very obvious.

Xiaoyao smiled, looking composed, "Of course I know."

"You know? What do you know? Do you think we're keeping you as a guest?" Lin Yi still had that cold sneer, his eyes full of pity for Xiaoyao.

"If it were before, that might be the case, but given the current situation, naturally not," Xiaoyao looked around and said slowly.
