Chapter 309: Chapter 309

This time Xiaoyao not only criticized the Divine Calculator but also took the opportunity to mock the Mo Family Head, making the Mo Family Head's expression even uglier.

"Family Head. I hope you can also learn from this lesson. This matter ends here. The relationship between you and my boss isn't irreconcilable either. As long as you work hard, it can still be achieved." Xiaoyao couldn't help but say.

Although he didn't like the Mo Family Head's behavior and felt it would be better for Guxing to leave the Mo family, after all, the Mo family was her home, and this Mo Family Head was her grandfather. If the other party knew he was wrong and regretted it, giving him a chance to make amends wouldn't be impossible.

Relatives are relatives after all. As long as there's genuine repentance, as long as it's not an unforgivable mistake, what can't be forgiven? But so far, Xiaoyao continued, "Those who cultivate should know not to do things too absolutely. I believe you understand this better than I do, so you understand your current result yourself. Well, I should go too. I've asked what I wanted to ask. This place has become a place of trouble—it's better to leave early."

Then Xiaoyao looked toward the Mo Family Head outside and said, "Please trouble the Family Head to give a message to the Young Miss. Tell her I went to do my business, and leaving without saying goodbye was also a helpless measure."

"How will you leave here?" The Mo Family Head didn't answer Xiaoyao's words but asked such a question instead, seeming to become somewhat serious. At this moment, although Xiaoyao was very safe inside, he also couldn't run out. How was he planning to leave?

"That's right. If you have the guts, then leave this place." Lin Yi called out strangely from outside. His thinking was the same as others—they all felt Xiaoyao was safe but had no way to leave.

"Can you really not understand human speech? I just said I was leaving. Why are you still asking if I have the guts?" Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

"Hmph, let me see how you leave. Aren't you afraid that after leaving this room, you'll be killed by us?" Lin Yi said with a cold snort.

Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I think you've misunderstood the situation. Might as well tell you—even if I walk straight out through this main door, I won't be afraid of what you might do. You're just some small fry. The reason you're alive is because I don't want to kill you."

"Haha, what a joke. How could you kill us. Small fry—although you could be considered somewhat of a character, don't think too highly of yourself." Lin Yi laughed wildly. Now he acknowledged that Xiaoyao wasn't small fry, but he wouldn't be any big shot either, capable of treating them as small fry.

No one wanted to admit this point because this disparity would drive them crazy.

"Do you think I only have that kind of poison from just now? Just happened to give you time to retreat from here without being too deeply poisoned?" Xiaoyao looked at Lin Yi and asked back, with eyes that had the feeling of looking at an idiot.

"You? Could it be you deliberately gave us a chance?" Lin Yi somewhat didn't dare believe it, but thinking carefully, if Xiaoyao could possess such poison, then why didn't he have poison that could temporarily knock them down? As long as they were temporarily down, even if it took a bit longer, he could definitely handle everyone.

"That's right. I'm very merciful, aren't I." Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Merciful—perhaps. He would be very merciful at certain times and ruthless at certain times, just like when dealing with those Azure Dragon Society people. He would absolutely not be soft when killing and wouldn't feel he had killed too many.

This time, Xiaoyao definitely wouldn't spare these people who wanted to kill him out of mercy. It was merely because he didn't want Guxing to know, and incidentally didn't want to make things difficult for the Young Miss. Also, these people posed no danger to him.

Perhaps Xiaoyao's earlier words hurt the hearts of these Mo family people, but in fact, the Mo family was indeed not worth mentioning to Xiaoyao. Even the current Mo family, which could stand firm on the continent, was equally not worth mentioning. These people were merely small fry.

Although Xiaoyao felt he was also just a small fry, this small fry didn't need to fear these people. Small fry also had the abilities and confidence of small fry. Moreover, these people were also just small fry.

At the same time, this small fry was somewhat different. He was just low-key like a small fry, but his abilities and connections were no longer what a small fry would have.

In this incident, if the Mo family knew about Xiaoyao's connections—those figures that even they would fear despite having the Young Miss—they absolutely wouldn't touch Xiaoyao and would only be respectful to him.

Unfortunately, they didn't know. Like them, too many people didn't know about this small fry called Xiaoyao, because from beginning to end, Xiaoyao had never become famous. Even though he had done many things, he always kept a low profile and went through the motions, letting people not know of his existence.

Although this low profile would make some people who didn't know better cause him trouble, comparatively, if he became famous, the troublesome social obligations would be even more numerous. Moreover, after becoming famous, he might be targeted and drawn into unnecessary troubles.

Therefore, what Xiaoyao hoped for was still this way. Being a small fry was actually quite good—free and unrestrained.

"Impossible. You just can't do it, not that you really want to spare us." Lin Yi didn't believe this. Even if facts were placed before his eyes, he wouldn't believe it, let alone now when it was just Xiaoyao talking.

Xiaoyao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. I'm not forcing you to believe. Too lazy to talk to you anymore—I'm leaving." The most update n0vels are published on novel⸺fire.net

After saying this, Xiaoyao still didn't leave the chair but used his hand to feel around things on the chair.

What was he doing? Didn't he say he was leaving? Why was he still sitting there motionless?

Everyone felt very curious and didn't understand what Xiaoyao was doing. Was he just talking and toying with them? No, that shouldn't be the case—there was no need for that at this moment.

Moreover, judging from his tone, he also disdained lying to them... disdained...

"Wait, you... could you possibly know..." The Mo Family Head, after seeing Xiaoyao's actions, showed an expression of disbelief and stared blankly at Xiaoyao. This was shock he had never experienced before, because he felt the other party might know his deeply hidden secret.

This deeply hidden secret was the deepest kind—something even the closest people wouldn't know. Having such a secret known by someone felt like being completely stripped naked, a feeling more unsettling than anything else, making him shudder and feel afraid.

"Oh, you mean this chair's mechanism? I know about it. I know this is a secret passage, a way out that your Mo family left for yourselves. Building such a place, you couldn't possibly just want to be trapped beasts—of course you'd have a way to get out." Xiaoyao smiled and spoke about what the Mo Family Head feared most—that Xiaoyao actually knew this secret too.

He suddenly discovered he was like a clown, a clown being toyed with by Xiaoyao. From the beginning, Xiaoyao had known everything about him, while he knew nothing, only thinking it was momentary luck.

This feeling was very bad and made him very angry. If before he only wanted to kill Xiaoyao because of the fortune telling, now it was his resentment. He urgently wanted to kill Xiaoyao, if possible.

"There's a passage inside?."

Everyone understood Xiaoyao's strange behavior—it turned out he knew there was also a secret passage inside. At the same time, they understood another thing: this secret passage seemed very secret, and apparently only the family head knew about it in the Mo family.

This was strange. Xiaoyao was just a small servant in the Mo family. Not to mention knowing about this room's mechanism before, he even knew about the secret passage. What was going on?

The Mo Family Head also wanted to know this question.

"How do you know." The Mo Family Head's voice was very cold.

"Is your memory that bad? I just said I've been here for so many years—what is there about the Mo family that I don't know? I not only know there's a secret passage here, but I also know there are some of the Mo family's savings in this secret passage—emergency backup funds prepared for when this secret passage needs to be used, which would be around the time of near extinction." Xiaoyao smiled and spoke of something that made the Mo Family Head's entire body tremble.

He even knew this—what was there he didn't know?

To tell the truth, about everything in the Mo family, without exaggeration, even every blade of grass and tree was clearly known to Xiaoyao. The so-called secret passages and mechanisms, he was also thoroughly familiar with.

However, originally he wasn't preparing for this move, nor was he spying on the Mo family. It was just because of his curiosity and thirst for knowledge—he purely wanted to understand everything and learn something from it.

Not to mention other things, these mechanisms and secret passages were the Mo family's accumulated efforts over hundreds of years. As one of the rare families specializing in forging mechanisms, the Mo family's mechanism arts also had unique features and were learning targets for Xiaoyao, so naturally he figured out all of this.

At that time, he also hadn't thought that this idea of his would actually play a role at this moment. Although he could leave without needing this secret passage, that situation would be more troublesome.

"What do you want to do." The Mo Family Head asked through gritted teeth.

Xiaoyao continued feeling around the chair and said, "Nothing much, just want some spiritual compensation. That money is what you're compensating me with—I won't be polite. Goodbye... no, it's better not to meet again. Family Head, take care of yourself."

Just as these words hit the ground, when the Mo Family Head still wanted to say a few words, Xiaoyao activated the mechanism. The desk and chair suddenly sank into the ground, and soon the surface returned to normal. Except for Xiaoyao and the chair disappearing, it seemed nothing had changed.

"No. No, I don't want to die."

The Mo Family Head originally wanted to call out to Xiaoyao, but was interrupted by the miserable screaming from inside the room. This miserable screaming was undoubtedly from the Divine Calculator, who could now only scream and could no longer move.
