Chapter 360: Chapter 360

Either way, this troublemaker girl also exerted considerable pressure on people!

What surprised these two girls wasn't that Xiaoyao sat down, but Guxing who sat down with him, because Guxing made both of them feel pressure.

This was what amazed them—they could actually feel pressure from another girl, and this wasn't from martial force but from appearance.

Guxing hadn't revealed how much martial prowess she possessed. Like Xiaoyao, she usually kept a low profile. Only when she took action would others know what kind of martial force she truly had.

The troublemaker-level girl had always been confident in her appearance and had never encountered a girl who could make her feel pressure regarding looks. Now, Guxing was giving her exactly this kind of pressure.

Guxing herself possessed stunning beauty, and combined with that unique aura about her—like a transcendent fairy—even a troublemaker-level girl would feel some pressure.

Although this pressure wasn't very great, this feeling was something she had never experienced before, which naturally amazed her!!

The beautiful girl beside her had similar thoughts and was equally surprised!!

"This sister is truly beautiful!" the troublemaker girl spoke up. In terms of age, she had to admit she was somewhat older.

Guxing glanced at the troublemaker girl without responding, then looked at Xiaoyao and didn't turn back for a second look.

This made the troublemaker girl feel somewhat frustrated, while others felt it even more intensely—someone actually dared to treat her this way. However, they had to admit this girl was really... quite... remarkable...

How strange—why hadn't they noticed this before? Such a girl had walked right in front of them, yet they seemed to have been blind and didn't see her!!

This was what the onlookers felt. They were all very puzzled—logically, a beauty of Guxing's caliber should be very eye-catching, so why hadn't they noticed her at all just now?

This was actually a very special cultivation method that could hide a person's aura, making them appear very ordinary. Even someone devastatingly beautiful wouldn't be immediately noticed. Guxing was using this method to avoid a lot of trouble.

And this cultivation method was, needless to say, taught to her by Xiaoyao.

Guxing's disregard made the troublemaker girl feel somewhat embarrassed. She had never encountered anyone treating her this way, which made her feel rather displeased.

"Miss, my boss is a bit introverted and doesn't like talking to strangers. Please don't take offense," Xiaoyao smoothed things over. Since they had to sit at the same table to eat, there was no need to make things too awkward. This was just a matter of one sentence.

"I see. Well, strangers the first time, acquaintances the second time! Which family are you from?" the troublemaker girl asked with a smile. She wasn't naturally a cold beauty—quite the opposite, she was very approachable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed Xiaoyao to sit down earlier but would have said "get lost."

"We don't have a family. My boss—that's her—was raised by our teacher. We all grew up in the deep mountains and have several senior sisters," Xiaoyao answered. This was the story they had agreed upon earlier.

"Deep mountains? No wonder this sister is so quiet. Why do you call her boss? Are you her worker?" the troublemaker girl asked with some curiosity—just curiosity. If Xiaoyao didn't answer, she wouldn't continue asking.

"Not a worker. I'm a household servant—the only household servant for my boss and her senior sisters on this continent," Xiaoyao said.

I'm not lying. On this continent, I really am the only one...

"I see!" the troublemaker girl responded, then stopped talking. Talking with a household servant—wouldn't that be rather degrading?

Even though this troublemaker girl was very approachable, she wouldn't think talking with a household servant was appropriate. She was a member of a great family, and without necessity, she wouldn't do something so beneath her status.

She tried talking to Guxing a few times, but Guxing still didn't acknowledge her, so she could only give up. After all, this was just a matter of curiosity—she hadn't reached the point of getting to the bottom of it.

"What should we eat?" Guxing asked Xiaoyao. Compared to other things, she was more concerned about this.

"Tonight we'll eat something good!!" Xiaoyao said very seriously, then went to call the waiter to order food.

At this moment, the two girls at the same table thought Xiaoyao would order some delicacies. They wanted to remind him that this was a small place without many choices—they had tried before.

However, they were wrong—completely wrong. They discovered that what Xiaoyao meant by "eating something good" was... ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

"Give us two bowls of beef noodles—large bowls!!"

The two girls at the same table felt somewhat unsteady. This was what you called eating something good?

"Beef noodles? This is eating well?" the beautiful girl couldn't help asking. As for whether they were large bowls, she directly ignored that.

"This is already very good. We don't have money—usually we eat vegetable noodles," Xiaoyao replied. This wasn't him pretending to be poor. During this period, they were indeed short on funds, needing to save money for Guxing's tuition.

However, regarding food, they didn't eat poorly. They just didn't have spare money for good food, but that didn't mean they couldn't make it themselves—especially Xiaoyao, who could create delicious food anytime, anywhere.

Coming here to eat this time was just to gather information. Originally, he wanted to eat the free food, but Xiaoyao ruled out the free food—no matter how little money they had, he couldn't let his boss eat such things.

"Do you think it's not good... then how about this..." Xiaoyao seemed to make a very difficult decision, hesitating for a long while before saying three words.

A crowd of people fell over...

The two girls at the same table couldn't evaluate Xiaoyao. All they could do was wait for the food to arrive, then eat without talking. However, they soon put down their chopsticks with no intention of continuing to eat.

Xiaoyao easily saw that they weren't used to the food here. Even though they had ordered good things, it still didn't suit their taste.

Xiaoyao didn't pay attention to these two girls because his beef noodles had arrived—well, beef noodles with an added egg...

Like Guxing, Xiaoyao was more concerned with his own food than with others. Moreover, he came here to listen for information, not to worry about food.

Xiaoyao and Guxing enjoyed their beef noodles very much, their movements exactly the same. Even their subtle habitual movements were identical, which amazed the two girls at the same table.

If they knew the two had grown up together since childhood, and that Guxing had only been exposed to Xiaoyao and liked to use him as a standard, having the same movements as him would be very normal.

Their enjoyment wasn't just because they cherished and respected food, but also because these beef noodles were indeed quite good!

"Are the beef noodles really that delicious?"

The enjoyment of the two made the nearby girls somewhat envious, and they finally decided to order two bowls of beef noodles to try.

"No egg?" the waiter casually asked.

Soon the beef noodles arrived. After eating a few bites, the two girls found these were much more delicious than what they had ordered earlier, which made them feel very strange, especially since they had somewhat looked down on Xiaoyao ordering beef noodles before.

"Ingredients aren't inherently good or bad—it depends on whether you know how to prepare them! In such small places, there are many more people ordering ordinary food, so naturally the skill level for making ordinary food is higher!" Xiaoyao seemed to mutter to himself, but obviously he was speaking for the two girls to hear.

"When you enter any kind of shop, order the appropriate things!" Guxing suddenly said a sentence, then looked at Xiaoyao and fell silent again.

Then the table fell into silence with no one speaking, lasting for a very long time. The two girls showed no intention of leaving, which puzzled Xiaoyao somewhat, but he soon seemed to understand.

These two girls also had a purpose for being here. If they were just here for a meal, they could have had food sent directly to their room—why come here?

Their purpose seemed very similar to Xiaoyao's—to gather information!

Although they were all here to gather information, there were differences. Xiaoyao was casually listening for information—any information would do—while they were somewhat purposeful. They wanted to understand certain things, or more accurately, they wanted to understand information about opponents.

These two girls, like others, were here to join the Huangpu Family. Simply put, all these people were competitors, and learning more about competitors' information was never a bad thing.

Especially for those wanting to enter the Huangpu Family—they were all people who planned to develop in the military. The most important thing in military campaigns was figuring out opponent information—this was very important.

Although one could enter the Huangpu Family just by paying money, demonstrating potential would earn the best treatment, while the opposite would result in being undervalued, even if you had money.

Regarding this, Guxing didn't need to worry. It was best if she wasn't valued—she could charge to the front lines and experience the most direct killing intent.

The Huangpu Family would conduct simulated warfare and might also engage in real warfare. At that time, those who were valued would naturally be generals, while those undervalued would only be ordinary soldiers!!

Guxing didn't need to be a general—she just needed to be an ordinary soldier...

"Are you also going to the Huangpu Family?" After receiving some information and adding some details, Xiaoyao easily deduced this.

"Mm!" the troublemaker girl nodded.

"What is Miss's surname?" Xiaoyao asked.

"My humble surname is Yin—Yin Ruoxi. This is my cousin, Yin Ruoshui," the troublemaker girl, Yin Ruoxi, said. Although Xiaoyao was just a household servant, since he had asked, she wouldn't put on airs and refuse to answer. Sitting together was fate—why worry about so much?
