Chapter 386: Chapter 386

Yunyun was very important to her, having accompanied her since childhood and being almost her closest family member. One could imagine how much she wanted to meet Yunyun's savior right now.

"Well, we were all here just now, so we don't know who it was either." Steward Li and the others said with cold sweat. They were being asked, but they didn't know either.

"Were all of you here? I don't think people from outside would come help treat my Yunyun's illness. It must be someone from here." Miss Lingxiao frowned.

Yunyun's illness had come so suddenly that everyone who knew about it was here. She hadn't even had time to call for help, so there was no way other people would come here to help. Unless someone had been following her, but such a person would definitely be discovered by the Xuanwu Family's defenses—this was inside the Xuanwu Family after all.

Therefore, there was only one possibility: the helper was someone from inside the Xuanwu Family, and should also be related personnel from the monster beast pens.

"All our people are already here... except for a few who took leave. Could they have returned? You, go search the courtyard and see if anyone's there." The steward sent his subordinate to look for people, but naturally, no one was found.

"Think carefully again—who else could it be?" Miss Lingxiao seemed to be getting a bit impatient. She had other matters to attend to, and waiting here so long had already reached her limit.

If it weren't for Yunyun, she would have left long ago and asked to be notified after they found the person.

"That's it. We really can't think of anyone else." The stewards shook their heads. They wouldn't pay attention to whether Xiaoyao was there or not. Generally, everyone in the monster beast pens was responsible for their own area with little cooperation, and Xiaoyao was always running around everywhere, spending very little time at the monster beast pens.

Only Steward Li remembered there was someone like Xiaoyao, since he was Xiaoyao's direct supervisor. But he wouldn't think Xiaoyao could possibly cure Yunyun, so he didn't mention Xiaoyao.

But in fact, it was Xiaoyao who had cured Yunyun. He had just done it casually—just casually!!

Thus, this matter ended inconclusively with no one able to find out who it was. After a long time, no one remembered it anymore.

Xiaoyao never knew about this incident from beginning to end. How could he know that his casual action would cause such a big commotion? Yunyun was just a very ordinary monster beast, just slightly prettier. He had seen and cared for many like it in the monster beast pens—they were all pets that those bored female relatives liked to keep.

At that time, Xiaoyao was helping the blacksmiths at the sword forging workshop, studying the forging techniques of this land...

At night, when Xiaoyao returned, it was already quite late. Again, he didn't encounter anyone. This might be another reason why everyone forgot about Xiaoyao—no one knew when he returned late, and in the morning he would go very early to care for the beasts in the pens. Generally, by the time others hadn't started work, he had already completed his tasks and then moved on to work elsewhere.

Regarding Xiaoyao's behavior, Steward Li said nothing, because Xiaoyao had already done his main job well and completed everything excellently. The monster beasts under Xiaoyao's care were in better condition than those under others' care. What could he say about that?

At other places, Xiaoyao was helping voluntarily. Even if he did just average work, they wouldn't say anything. Moreover, Xiaoyao did quite well—they were eager to have servants like him come help.

As for who Xiaoyao was, they didn't know, and even had difficulty remembering there was such a servant. Xiaoyao didn't appear at any fixed location, and when he appeared at the same place again, it wasn't necessarily the same steward, so naturally it was hard for the stewards to remember him.

The servants all knew of Xiaoyao's existence, but they wouldn't mention anything to the stewards without cause. Xiaoyao's achievements became theirs—why tell the stewards and have their bonuses docked?

This seemed to return to the situation at the Mo family. Xiaoyao didn't care whether he had bonuses or even wages. He just focused on learning, absorbing the knowledge of this land—that was the greatest wealth.

Effort always brought rewards. The more you put in, the more you got back. You couldn't just focus on what you were giving...

Take a bath and go to bed to cultivate!

This was also something Xiaoyao did every day—cultivation!

Since arriving on this land, Xiaoyao's progress had slowed down. More than ten months had passed, and he was still at late General Level, having just broken through.

Originally, at Xiaoyao's previous pace, ten-plus months would have been enough for him to enter peak General Level, and he might even have broken through to King Level. Now he was only at late General Level.

This was still before King Level. The difficulty of breaking through after King Level would be much higher, and Emperor Level would be several times harder. At this rate, it would take ten years to reach Emperor Level.

Although this might already be good for ordinary people, for those strong practitioners, this was merely entry-level and completely insufficient.

However, even so, Xiaoyao didn't mind too much. Being ordinary was fine—he didn't make a living through martial force anyway. Being able to reach Emperor Level would be enough.

Xiaoyao's thinking in this regard was very enlightened. This might be why his mental state was so high—he had seen through these things.

However, even if you could see through and let go of things, you still had to continue working hard every day. Some things required perseverance and couldn't be naturally obtained just by being enlightened.

When Xiaoyao maintained his cultivation until around one or two in the morning, he suddenly woke up with a mood to go outside and admire the moon. So he went out and looked at the round moon in the sky.

"The moon is round, just like that glutton..." Xiaoyao felt somewhat emotional and nostalgic.

The glutton he mentioned was naturally Chi Chi. He seemed to miss Chi Chi a bit today. Maybe Yunyun had triggered his memories. Although Yunyun and Chi Chi's appearances didn't match at all, he just had that kind of feeling.

Perhaps this was simply because he missed Chi Chi a bit, unrelated to anything else!

He wondered how Chi Chi was doing now, whether Chi Chi had completed evolution. If Chi Chi had completed evolution, was Chi Chi looking for him now? If Chi Chi was looking for him, could it find him...

While Xiaoyao's mind was filled with countless thoughts, he was suddenly hit on the head by a fruit shell, bringing him back to his senses. At this moment, he discovered that he had unknowingly climbed onto the wall and was sitting on top of it looking at the moon.

Wait, who just threw something at me?

Xiaoyao suddenly realized that even if he was on this wall, that was his business. But if someone was throwing things at him, he needed to figure out who.

"Who threw that at me!"

"Shh shh, stepping stone, it's me." Newest update provıded by novelꜰire.net

Damn, was he having hallucinations again? Was it because of the full moon?

The voice Xiaoyao heard was Miss Wang's voice from the daytime. How could he hear her voice in the middle of the night? Moreover, this was the Xuanwu Family, and she was in the big courtyard across the way.

However, Xiaoyao soon understood this wasn't a hallucination. Miss Wang was right in front of him. She wasn't inside the Xuanwu Family but in the big courtyard across the way. However, like Xiaoyao, she was also sitting on top of the wall.

Xiaoyao could clearly see that beside her, there was even a ladder!

"Miss, why did you throw something at me? Also, my name isn't 'stepping stone.'" Xiaoyao spoke up, his voice somewhat loud. This was necessary because although the two were only separated by a street, the street wasn't small.

"Shh, don't be so loud—we'll be discovered!" Miss Wang immediately hushed him and gave Xiaoyao an annoyed look.

"If I don't speak loudly, you won't hear me!" Xiaoyao lowered his voice a bit, but it was still not quiet.

"Wait, I have a little gadget here!" Miss Wang rummaged around, found something, and threw it to Xiaoyao. Then she said, "Catch!"

By this time, the thing was already in Xiaoyao's hands!

Xiaoyao was speechless. I've already caught it, what are you telling me to catch for? But why do you carry this thing around for no reason...

This little thing was a speaking tube, and Miss Wang also had one in her hand. The two tubes were connected by what looked like a string!

Damn, wasn't this the kind of toy that little children often played with? She was quite interesting, carrying this around with her. And it wasn't an ordinary bamboo tube either—it was actually made of high-quality jade with exquisite carvings.

This wasn't an ordinary toy—it was a luxurious toy!!

"Now you can speak quietly. How come you're on the wall in the middle of the night? Do you have some improper intentions!" Miss Wang immediately questioned Xiaoyao. Her voice transmitted clearly to Xiaoyao's side, as if she were sitting right next to him.

This toy was indeed luxurious. With ordinary ones, you had to put your ear to the tube. With hers, you didn't need to. Who knew what material the string was made of?

"...Please, I should be the one asking you that. What are you, a young lady, doing sitting on a wall? Also, why did you throw something at me just now?" Xiaoyao replied unhappily.

"I was calling you for a long time just now, but you were just spacing out there. I felt ignored again and got annoyed, so I threw the walnut shell in my hand at you. You should be thankful—I wasn't eating durian just now." Miss Wang was quite straightforward, directly expressing her displeasure.

When she had seen Xiaoyao come up earlier, she had also been a bit surprised. She had already thought it was strange for someone to come up in the middle of the night, but she hadn't expected this person to be Xiaoyao—the Xuanwu Family servant she had met during the day, that stepping stone.

Afterward, she initially didn't take Xiaoyao seriously, but then discovered that Xiaoyao didn't take her seriously either. She was magnificently ignored once again, which made her a bit unhappy.

In her boredom, she tried to strike up a conversation with Xiaoyao, but he had no reaction. So she casually picked up something in her hand and threw it over.
