Chapter 370: Chapter 370

Xiaoyao didn't speak, just looked at the two women, carefully sizing them up, trying to get information about their identities from some details. Although not much, he still obtained some clues.

From these two women's clothing and accessories, they should be from the same faction. Although their clothes appeared to have different styles and colors on the surface, there was one marking that was consistent, and this was definitely not a private mark left by a tailor.

This marking wasn't in the same position and was hidden within patterns. Being able to discover it was very difficult, and for Xiaoyao to see it in such a short time - even if he told others, no one would believe it.

Xiaoyao didn't recognize this marking because it belonged to a very secretive faction's symbol. Not many people in the entire world knew of it, and people from this faction would absolutely never believe anyone could spot their marking, because even their own people couldn't see it if they weren't told the method.

This concealment used very special techniques. It wasn't just adding patterns to confuse people's eyes - there was much more involved, and each piece of clothing was different, not using identical methods.

Under such circumstances, those who could spot it in a short time were generally only the people who made these clothes or designed them!

For Xiaoyao to see it in almost a single glance without having encountered these before - if this were told to others, no one would believe it, but it was an undisputable fact.

In Xiaoyao's words, spotting this was actually very simple. This embroidery technique was a bit special and generally wouldn't be used on such clothing. He was very knowledgeable about needlework - back then, he had made all the clothes for himself and Guxing.

From this marking, Xiaoyao deduced some more things - this faction might be the kind where even their own people don't know who their own people are, which is why they needed these markings to identify each other.

This was either a faction so large with too many people that it was impossible to know everyone, or it was very secretive with few people, but each person was very mysterious!

Basically, the former could be ruled out, because if it was a large faction with too many people, they should put the markings in obvious positions so everyone could see at a glance, and definitely wouldn't be so secretive.

If it was a secretive faction, then why would they come looking for him? He had no connections even with ordinary factions, so how could he be involved with a secretive faction?

Now there was only one thing Xiaoyao could do - see what the other party would say!!

"Who are you?" One of the women wearing green clothes asked. Her tone wasn't polite - it was more of an interrogation, the kind that meant you must answer.

Would Xiaoyao answer?

This, of course he would!!

"My name is Li Yihun. May I ask what business you two heroines have?" Xiaoyao replied with a smile, giving Li Yihun's name.

That's right, he would answer, but not necessarily tell the truth!!

As for whether this would bring trouble to Li Yihun, would Xiaoyao care about this? Certainly not. Li Yihun's previous attitude had made him very displeased. Giving him some trouble would help vent his anger, and this didn't even require him to act personally - why not do it?

Moreover, this could save him some trouble, which was even better.

If Li Yihun were here, he would definitely be furious. Xiaoyao had already tricked him once, and now was impersonating his name, and so naturally at that.

Yes, it was this natural expression that was even more infuriating!!

"Li Yihun?" The green-clothed woman looked at Xiaoyao, wanting to see if he was lying. All she could see was that this was honest and reliable.

To see whether Xiaoyao was lying, even people skilled in this wouldn't be able to tell, let alone this green-clothed woman who wasn't very expert in it.

"Yes, may I ask the young lady's name?" Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

"My name - you're not worthy of knowing it. Even if you knew, it would be useless because you'll be dead soon." The green-clothed woman said flatly, revealing a trace of killing intent to show she wasn't joking.

"Miss, why is this? Not to mention having any grudges, I haven't even met you before. Why would you want me dead?" Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected it to be this serious, and he couldn't think of any reason.

How long had Xiaoyao been here? He had been very low-key all along and had never offended anyone. Even if he had, it shouldn't be to the extent of wanting him dead. Could he have encountered some extremely petty person?

What exactly was the reason?

"You don't need to know this. You just need to know that sometimes appearing at the wrong time in the wrong place can be fatal." The green-clothed woman said flatly.

"Wrong time, wrong place? Can you be more specific? Since you've already said I'm going to die, can't you let me die with clarity?" Xiaoyao asked. His tone held no fear whatsoever, which made the two women somewhat strange.

Xiaoyao had basically confirmed why he had attracted their attention. It should be those few sentences he heard in the woodshed that night. Although he wasn't discovered at the time, in fact, they could find out who stayed overnight in the woodshed just by checking.

The name Xiaoyao left at that time was his real name, but many people would doubt this since names could be faked. They had the innkeeper describe Xiaoyao and his companion's appearances, which shouldn't be fake.

Now they had confirmed Xiaoyao as a person, but they still didn't know whether he was really called Le Xiaoyao or Li Yihun. They would have to investigate this later.

Anyway, the name Le Xiaoyao probably couldn't be traced to anything, only Li Yihun could be traced to some things...

"Since you're going to die anyway, why do you need to know so much? Knowing too much is what causes trouble." The green-clothed woman said. The source of thɪs content is novel·fiɾe·net

"I'm already in trouble, so what's there to care about?" Xiaoyao said indifferently.

"Why don't I sense any fear from you? Do you think you can escape?" The green-clothed woman asked somewhat strangely, and the yellow-clothed woman who hadn't spoken also found it very strange.

"Whether I can escape or not doesn't need to be discussed for now. That depends on the conditions at the time, and it would only cause arguments - there's no need to discuss it. I just know that you don't want to act now and want to ask some things, right?" Xiaoyao waved his hand and asked.

"You're quite a smart person. It wasn't in vain for us to make this trip. Originally I thought it wasn't necessary, but perhaps you would cause some trouble." The green-clothed woman looked at Xiaoyao and lightly drew her sword.

"I won't cause trouble. You're overthinking it. You should go back and report to your master that I'm a peace-loving person who won't cause trouble to anyone. People don't offend me, I don't offend people - this is my creed." Xiaoyao said.

"What if people do offend you?" The green-clothed woman asked with a smile. Her meaning was obvious - she wouldn't let Xiaoyao go, and this question didn't necessarily require Xiaoyao's answer.

"Of course I'd yield three parts. I'm a peace-loving person!" Xiaoyao said.

The green-clothed woman hadn't expected Xiaoyao to answer this way. It should be said she had never thought anyone would answer . Normally, shouldn't he say something like striking back if people offend him?

Even if he wouldn't really do so, generally speaking, his words would be very tough. Was this person too weak, or was he just talking nonsense?

Peace-loving? Who would believe that!

"Alright, I don't want to waste so many words with you. Tell me, where is that other person?" The green-clothed woman asked.

"My boss? She'll appear soon. Just wait." Xiaoyao said with a smile, still so unconcerned.

Why should he be concerned? There were only two people in front of him.

"Do you feel unafraid because you think there are only two of us?" The green-clothed woman smiled at Xiaoyao, and there seemed to be a trace of mockery in that smile.

Xiaoyao understood this trace of mockery. She wanted to say: Don't think you're safe just because there are two of us - we are people with real strength!

"Yes." Xiaoyao nodded. His lack of fear did indeed have this aspect as a reason.

"That only shows the fearless are ignorant." The green-clothed woman said with a smile.

"Being fearless doesn't necessarily mean being ignorant. I understand what you want to say - you want to say that you both have Mid Emperor Level strength, while I'm just a mere General Level small figure. Either of you could kill me with just a finger, right?" Xiaoyao also replied with a smile.

After Xiaoyao's words came out, the green-clothed woman's smile faded. She looked at Xiaoyao with some surprise. She hadn't expected that even knowing this, Xiaoyao would still be so calm. This meant Xiaoyao either truly wasn't afraid of their strength, or he had already given up caring.

There was another point that surprised her, even shocked her - Xiaoyao could actually see their true strength. They had never revealed any martial power. If a Saint Level martial artist came, being able to accurately see this wouldn't be strange, but Xiaoyao was merely a General Level small martial artist.

Why was this? Had she carelessly revealed too much, or did he have some information about them?

If it was the latter, then wouldn't his appearance in the woodshed that time not just be a coincidence, but something calculated in advance to investigate their situation?

However, this seemed impossible. First, he left too many clues. Second, no one knew in advance that "she" would go there...

Wait, if the person "she" met was a double agent, then he might know, because that meeting was originally arranged by that person for that time and place.

"Are you trying to say you have strength that we can't handle?" The green-clothed woman asked probingly. She wanted to see whether Xiaoyao was hiding something or had obtained information about them.
