Chapter 378: Chapter 378

"I'm only stronger than you now. If I were the same age as you, I wouldn't be as good as you." Heart Moon Fox's seductive smile always hung on her lips. Even women of the same sex would be bewitched upon seeing it.

All along, Heart Moon Fox had been quite confident about this, but today she encountered two exceptions. Not only did this man Xiaoyao completely ignore her, but even Guxing was similarly unaffected. This made her wonder if her skills had disappeared.

"Yes, I will surpass you!" Guxing nodded and said.

"..." Heart Moon Fox hadn't expected Guxing to be so straightforward. This was polite talk - couldn't you be a bit more courteous? Though this might also be a fact.

"Are you together with them?" Xiaoyao interjected, pointing at the people on the ground, also explaining what his sudden words meant.

"Oh, you mean this? I have a cooperative relationship with their master. You don't need to ask who that person is - I think you wouldn't be very interested anyway." Heart Moon Fox said with a smile.

"I'm indeed not interested. However, I hope you can tell that person not to come cause trouble for us. We know absolutely nothing about your affairs, don't want to know, and have even less interest in knowing." Xiaoyao didn't dwell on the question of who that person was. He just wanted to warn the other party not to do meaningless things.

He believed this Heart Moon Fox before him would help. Although he didn't know what exactly Heart Moon Fox wanted to do, she probably wasn't someone who wanted to silence him.

From Heart Moon Fox's recent behavior, she shouldn't do such a thing. Not because she felt she couldn't do it, but because she felt it wasn't necessary.

At the same time, Xiaoyao also believed that if he couldn't handle the situation just now and was killed by the people lying on the ground, this Heart Moon Fox wouldn't come out to save him either. She was merely wanting to watch a good show.

"That would be best. We won't interfere with each other. After this matter, whatever happens between you and him has nothing to do with me anymore. I don't want to be enemies with you." Heart Moon Fox said with a smile.

To be honest, just the fact that Guxing was now Saint Level made people not want to be enemies with her. Such a monstrous genius, and one who had already grown to Saint Level.

Beside Guxing was also Xiaoyao, someone not valued by others but possessing such powerful mechanical abilities - this was also frightening.

At the same time, these two might have a powerful master behind them, and several senior sisters not weaker than them. This made people even more uncertain. Even someone like Heart Moon Fox didn't dare lightly speak of being enemies with them.

"I hope so too. Also, about today's events, don't tell others about them, especially the matter of my boss breaking through to Saint Level." Xiaoyao continued.

Guxing becoming Saint Level was something that made people look up in admiration, but Xiaoyao still understood the principle that "the tree that stands out in the forest gets blown down by the wind." If unnecessary, he would have Guxing hide her strength to avoid unnecessary troubles.

"I can promise you this." Heart Moon Fox looked at Xiaoyao, then at Guxing, then nodded in reply.

This kid didn't ask us to conceal his matters - does this mean he's more nervous about this little girl than himself, or does he feel his own matters aren't very important?

The latter possibility was more likely. Superb mechanical arts wouldn't bring trouble but would instead earn respect from many people. Looking at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's situation made this clear.

"Then if there's nothing else, we'll leave first. Farewell." Xiaoyao cupped his fists, very straightforwardly bidding farewell.

This kid was really straightforward and direct. After saying what he wanted to say, he directly left. He wasn't even curious about her identity and didn't ask at all.

Although Heart Moon Fox knew that even if Xiaoyao asked, she wouldn't tell him, and since Xiaoyao wanted to stay out of the matter, naturally the less he knew the better.

However, even so, when Xiaoyao left without asking anything, she felt like she wanted him to ask. This thought was quite masochistic, but was also something everyone would have.

"Wait a moment, I have a question I want to ask you."

Someone called out to Xiaoyao, but this person wasn't Heart Moon Fox, but Cuihua who had appeared together with Heart Moon Fox. Although she was helpless about Heart Moon Fox's sudden change of mind again, she still followed.

"What?" Xiaoyao asked puzzledly. What question did this Cuihua want to ask him? Did she want to ask how to make grilled fish?

"I want to know, when you fought with me earlier, why didn't you use these traps?" Cuihua asked. She knew that if Xiaoyao had used these traps earlier, she would definitely have been finished.

"These traps are for protecting my boss. You were only coming to cause trouble for me - there was no need to use these traps." Xiaoyao replied. This statement was somewhat confusing.

Why wouldn't you use them when someone was causing trouble for you? Did you think your boss was more important than your own life?

"See? This is what a good servant who considers his master should be like. You should learn more from this. Kid, are you interested in becoming my servant?" Heart Moon Fox was poaching talent right in front of Guxing.

"No." Xiaoyao directly refused. "Until we meet again!"

Xiaoyao said no more, pulling the coldly staring Guxing away. This time no one called for him to stay, and no unexpected events occurred.

Actually, he hadn't explained that he didn't use these traps simply because he didn't need to. If his own life and Guxing's safety were placed together, he would say these were equally important matters. He wouldn't say Guxing was more important than his life - this was his true thought.

Understandably, Guxing was very important, but his own life was also very important. He himself couldn't say clearly - from a selfish perspective, he probably wouldn't sacrifice his life for Guxing.

However, he also couldn't be certain what choice he would make when that time came. He could only follow his heart.

"This kid is very interesting. Go investigate his background." Heart Moon Fox smiled, watching Xiaoyao leave before speaking to the two girls beside her.

"Yes, Miss!" Cuihua and the other replied.

They also very much wanted to do this. Even without Heart Moon Fox's instructions, they would investigate Xiaoyao's identity and background.

Li Yihun - although this might not be real, it was still a clue. They could also look into what dirt this Li Yihun had and mess with him to vent for that kid.

That kid should really dis Li Yihun...

"Achoo!" Li Yihun sneezed. "Is that girl from the Bai family thinking of me again? Bear with it - this young master will soon return after completing his studies..."

Li Yihun still didn't know that because of Xiaoyao's unscrupulous words, his future life would encounter considerable troubles that could only be described as both crying and laughing.

"Xiaoyao, why didn't you let me spar with that woman? She's very strong and useful!" Guxing asked after following Xiaoyao for a mile or two.

Whenever there was a chance to fight with strong opponents, as long as they weren't too much stronger, Guxing wouldn't miss it. She felt Heart Moon Fox just now was quite good and very suitable.

"Boss, that woman isn't simple. The gap between you and her is quite large. Also, she's not suitable for you to practice moves with. From her movement techniques, she should be a ghost-like martial artist." Xiaoyao replied. Follow current novᴇls on novel·fıre·net

"Oh." Guxing said nothing more. She wouldn't question Xiaoyao's judgment and also understood that ghost-like martial artists indeed weren't very useful for her.

This wasn't to say she didn't need such ghost-like people to train with, but because with Xiaoyao there, she no longer needed others.

Xiaoyao had always been a sparring partner with insufficient power, so he had to compensate with movement techniques and moves. The ghost-like route was what Xiaoyao liked to use, and he had developed this ghostly movement to the extreme - even the tiniest gap he could slip through.

This ghost-like route was actually most suitable for people like Xiaoyao. Also because Xiaoyao's power wasn't enough and he couldn't fight people head-on, he had to maintain not being attacked by others. Therefore, his ghost-like route had to be more sustained and more elusive than anyone else's. Just regarding this aspect, even Heart Moon Fox might not be his match.

Because of this, Heart Moon Fox had no meaning for practicing moves.

Moreover, at this time, Xiaoyao had something more important to teach Guxing - the Supreme Sword Arts in his hands. He quickly memorized the complete Supreme Sword Arts manual, then gave the manual to Guxing, letting her comprehend this sword technique.

Xiaoyao understood Guxing best. He knew how much the Supreme Sword Arts could help Guxing - it could make Guxing's sword arts leap forward greatly, tremendously improving her combat power.

He himself also went to comprehend the other thirteen moves. For him, this was also a great help that could make him leap considerable distances.

Because both needed to comprehend sword techniques, they walked very slowly. Eventually they even found a place to comprehend sword techniques. As for how they performed at the Huangpu Family, they had long put this aside.

Thus, about ten days passed. Xiaoyao comprehended the remaining twelve moves but stopped at the last move. This situation had already lasted five days, halted here without progress.

He had comprehended and learned all the previous moves in just eight days. If this were told to others, a group of people would probably jump into rivers, because they couldn't comprehend even half of it in their lifetimes, or even less.

For five days, Xiaoyao had been comprehending this twenty-third sword, but he just couldn't learn it. However, this final move, the twenty-third sword, gave him the most insights - even more than the previous twenty-two swords combined. This was a very wonderful situation.

However, being unable to learn didn't mean learning nothing. In the learning process, one would gain much knowledge. This was also common sense.
