Chapter 371: Chapter 371

"Then what are you trying to say? Are you saying you face death with equanimity?" The green-clothed woman almost wanted to laugh. This kid in front of her was quite interesting. If it weren't for orders from above, she really wouldn't want to kill him.

"Death isn't scary, but I don't want to die yet! What I want to say is, you haven't investigated the situation clearly. Although I can't do anything to you, I have my boss, and she can!" Xiaoyao looked at the two women and said flatly.

"Your boss? What do you mean!!" the green-clothed woman asked. She could vaguely guess Xiaoyao's meaning - that the strength of the two of them wasn't enough in front of his boss, which was why Xiaoyao was so unconcerned.

"The meaning is simple - you two together couldn't beat my boss, so what do I have to fear?" Xiaoyao said very directly, but without mocking the other party, and still maintaining a certain friendly smile.

He didn't need to hide Guxing's strength now. Sometimes directly stating one's strength was also a form of deterrence, making them think clearly about whether they had the ability to handle this, and also letting the other party know whether they could bear this loss. Otherwise, the other party would still come looking for trouble without knowing their limits.

Guxing's current strength could deter the vast majority of factions. At least it would prevent others from coming to cause trouble over small matters. Soon Guxing would also enter the Huangpu Family, and then she would have the Huangpu Family's protection. Having not offended anyone, no one would fight the Huangpu Family to the death.

Xiaoyao felt this matter hadn't reached the point where it had to be a fight to the death. If they stepped back, nothing would happen, and he wouldn't expose anything about the other party either.

Actually, even if he wanted to expose them, there was no way to do so because he simply didn't know anything!!

With just that little bit of information, Xiaoyao wasn't a deity. Without other information to connect things, he wouldn't know what the whole situation was about, wouldn't know who those two people were at that time, and wouldn't know who their secret discussion was aimed against.

He believed other information wouldn't appear before Xiaoyao either, unless it was under very, very coincidental circumstances!

Of course, this didn't count cases like them coming to find him themselves. In that case, even if Xiaoyao wanted to not know, it would be impossible!!

"Your boss - you mean that girl? How strong could she be!!" The green-clothed woman was a bit skeptical. From the information she had obtained, Guxing was only about twenty years old, even younger than herself by a few years. She felt her cultivation speed was unmatched by anyone, and the yellow-clothed woman beside her was only one or two years older than herself.

Even if there were those who cultivated faster than her, she felt they should be genius figures from great families, and only a few at that. Now there appeared someone unknown, who didn't even have any reputation.

This made her somewhat unwilling to believe it. She thought Xiaoyao was lying to scare them away.

"Just Emperor Level Peak, could break through to Saint Level at any time. When that happens, even if you have power and influence, you'll have to think twice." Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.

At Saint Level, even in this Sacred Continent, one would stand at the top layer of the pyramid. Although not at the very peak, it was enough to make the vast majority of factions retreat. Those remaining with such strength would also have to consider whether they wanted to be enemies. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0velFire.ɴet

"Impossible. How old is she? You must be lying to me, trying to scare us away. Let me tell you, that's impossible." The green-clothed woman shook her head, resolutely refusing to believe this.

"Then just wait here. My boss should appear soon, and then you'll know whether I'm deceiving you." Xiaoyao shrugged indifferently, then continued reading his book. He showed no intention of fleeing from here.

Xiaoyao's attitude made the two women somewhat frustrated. Was he ignoring their existence? Even if you're not lying, that's just your boss. You yourself are only General Level - aren't you afraid we'll strike first and kill you?

"Sit down, don't stand there. It's tiring!" Xiaoyao said casually.

Afraid? Of course not. Before confirming about my boss, would you act? Definitely not. I'm just a small figure.

Whether to kill a small figure like me - is that important to you? It's not important at all, just something incidental. Before my boss appears, you're too lazy to act.

"What should we do?" The yellow-clothed woman asked the green-clothed woman quietly, her voice very small but not deliberately avoiding Xiaoyao.

Small figure indeed!!

"Wait!" the green-clothed woman said unconcernedly.

The yellow-clothed woman frowned slightly and said, "If what he says is true, then we really aren't enough. Not only would we fail to complete Miss's task, but we might also be in danger."

"He must be lying!" the green-clothed woman said. "He's just trying to scare us!!"

"What if it's true?" the yellow-clothed woman asked.

The green-clothed woman frowned, thought deeply for a while, and said, "Notify Miss, see what she thinks."

"Mm!" The yellow-clothed woman nodded, then took out paper and brush, wrote a few simple sentences, rolled it up and placed it in a small bamboo tube, and finally—

A whistle, and a bird descended from the sky. Xiaoyao didn't know what kind of bird this was, but he knew it was used for carrying messages, like messenger eagles.

"Um, what is that thing?" Xiaoyao asked the two women.

He might not be interested in other things, but he was very interested in communication birds. He had always wanted to find the best method for staying in contact with Guxing, like the messenger eagles on the Divine Martial Continent, maintaining contact.

He'd also give some to the Young Miss and the others - well, just as a side thing!

"Just a small monster beast." The green-clothed woman didn't really want to answer, but waiting was boring, so casual conversation might even extract some information.

This situation was exactly what Xiaoyao liked most. He also chatted with the green-clothed woman, but he talked about everything under the sun without revealing any information to her. Instead, the green-clothed woman inadvertently gave away quite a bit to him.

What Xiaoyao cared most about was still that communication monster beast. Other things he just listened to for the sake of gaining knowledge.

This small monster beast was a domesticated species, but not everyone had them. They were very rare and seldom appeared in records. If it weren't so, Xiaoyao should have encountered them too. He had only encountered those ordinary message-carrying monster beasts.

The Sacred Continent had far more monster beasts than the Divine Martial Continent. There were dozens of species used for carrying messages. Different people with different preferences and uses would choose different monster beasts. The most common ones were similar to messenger eagles, and messenger eagles existed here too.

However, messenger eagles had some problems on this Sacred Continent - there were many monster beasts in the sky, and messenger eagles would sometimes get eaten, causing messages to fail to arrive.

Other monster beasts would have similar problems - they all carried certain risks. Xiaoyao wanted to choose the most reliable kind and train them. Although they wouldn't dominate the sky, they had to be able to retreat safely.

Generally, those that could do this were relatively rare, and rare ones came at high prices. Xiaoyao basically gave up the idea of buying them with money. It would be best if he could catch a few himself, and even better if they delivered themselves to his door - but that was basically daydreaming.

Back to the topic, that small monster beast was called a Sparrow Warbler, a type of communication monster beast with extremely fast speed - almost the fastest type of messenger monster beast. It also had very strong concealment abilities and could safely carry messages through the air. The possibility of loss was very, very low - it might happen only once in a hundred years.

The drawback was that this small monster beast couldn't carry very heavy things. It was fine for messages, but objects would be very difficult.

However, this was also one of Xiaoyao's choices. Although he couldn't bring things to Guxing like before, at least he could talk, which was also quite good. Moreover, he could choose other monster beasts to assist.

Time passed bit by bit...

"You two heroines, would you like some grilled fish? I'll go catch a few." Xiaoyao put down his book, feeling a bit hungry, and thought of grilled fish. He casually asked the two waiting women.

The two women fell silent. They felt this situation was somehow very strange. Where was this like someone who might lose his life, while they were the ones who wanted to take his life?

He seemed to treat them as guests and was preparing to entertain them. Could it be that what he said was true - his boss really had such strength that they needn't fear them?

If it was just bluffing, then after so much time had passed, he hadn't shown any flaws, not even any other abnormal actions. This also seemed somewhat impossible.

The only explanation that seemed to make sense was that his boss really had Emperor Level Peak strength. If that was truly the case, then how should they handle this situation? Should they fight or make peace?

Someone at Emperor Level Peak wasn't something you could find just anywhere, especially at such a young age. If there happened to be some backing, then this matter would become troublesome. Moving against them might be worse than not moving against them.

Forget it, let Miss decide this herself. Whatever she says goes. We're just responsible for listening and acting.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Do you want grilled fish or not? If not, I'm too lazy to grill any." Xiaoyao entered the river water and used his sword to spear several fish. These few sword strikes made the two women's eyes light up.

This was very simple - even a Human Level martial artist could easily do it. But those few sword strikes were executed without leaving any traces, which was worth investigating.

Those who could do this were without exception all sword arts masters, and such people could generally challenge across levels!
