Chapter 404: Chapter 404

"Lingxiao, Lingxiao, I missed you so much!" Shang Lingjian looked excited, as if seeing a lover after a brief separation, though she was only the object of his one-sided affection.

"..." Xuanwu Lingxiao's good mood immediately dropped by more than half.

"How can you be so shameless and base? No wonder you're called Base Young Master. She clearly detests you, yet you still buzz around her like a fly every day." Xiaoyao said directly.

During this period, Shang Lingjian's resentment toward Xiaoyao had risen sharply, and Xiaoyao's disgust with Shang Lingjian had also risen sharply!!

Xuanwu Lingxiao looked at Xiaoyao with deep emotion, almost wanting to kiss his cute face, because Xiaoyao had said exactly what was in her heart.

She had said similar things before. Initially, she had directly expressed her dislike and disgust toward Shang Lingjian with words, but he shamelessly ignored them. After saying too much, she also found it annoying. But if someone else did it for her, she would be very pleased, just like Xiaoyao was doing now.

Xiaoyao didn't know Xuanwu Lingxiao's inner thoughts. He was simply disgusting this Base Young Master. He was somewhat regretting now—he should have been more heavy-handed at the time and turned this Base Young Master directly into an idiot with zero IQ.

No, he had still been too soft-hearted. This kind of person could just be sent straight to reincarnation!!

"Dog slave, are you looking for death?" Shang Lingjian's face darkened with some killing intent. He really wanted to kill someone now because he felt his face being slapped loudly, and in front of Xuanwu Lingxiao at that.

"Base Young Master, whether I want to die or not has nothing to do with you. You should just go mind your own business and stop blocking me from working." Xiaoyao replied very rudely, completely ignoring that bit of killing intent.

In Xiaoyao's heart, he was thinking it was time to find an opportunity to swat this annoying fly to death!

Xiaoyao could swat this fly to death anytime. When he had made Shang Lingjian go mad, it wasn't just a simple trick—he had left a backup plan that could kill Shang Lingjian at any time without leaving a trace.

Of course, there was no need for that yet. Plus, many people were watching, so it was better to attend to proper business first. Flies could be swatted anytime—hopefully this fly would be smart enough not to look for trouble and bother him unnecessarily.

"Xiaoyao, come out for a walk with me!" Xuanwu Lingxiao suddenly said, before Shang Lingjian could speak. This surprised both Shang Lingjian and Xiaoyao.

Xuanwu Lingxiao wanted to protect Xiaoyao by taking him along, making Shang Lingjian give up his ideas!

However, no one had expected she would do such a thing. This was what everyone found unthinkable. Although Xuanwu Lingxiao wasn't the arrogant type, she was the cold type who didn't interact with people.

Not to mention with a servant—even other young ladies found it difficult to get close to her, let alone this being her initiative.

One could imagine how surprising Xuanwu Lingxiao's sudden words would be.

For Shang Lingjian, this was another case of envy, jealousy, and hatred. He wished Xuanwu Lingxiao was inviting him right now, not this detestable dog slave Xiaoyao!

However, he never would have imagined that the dog slave in his eyes would simply refuse what he envied, and for such a laughable reason.

"That won't work, Miss Lingxiao. I'm still at work and have things to do." Xiaoyao shook his head in reply.

Shang Lingjian unconsciously opened his mouth wide, making an "ah" sound...

"..." Xuanwu Lingxiao looked at Xiaoyao and said, "Following me is also work. I currently lack a servant to carry things for me. You must come with me—you can't refuse!"

"..." Xiaoyao fell silent. He hadn't expected Xuanwu Lingxiao to use this reason—one he couldn't refuse. He could only helplessly nod and agree.

Damn, you're still acting reluctant! I really want to slice you with a sword right now!! Shang Lingjian on the side was about to pop his eyeballs out, his resentment extremely powerful.

"Let's go!" Xuanwu Lingxiao left with Xiaoyao, while Shang Lingjian stood for a while before shamelessly continuing to follow.

Xuanwu Lingxiao walked straight out of the Xuanwu Family compound without arousing any suspicion. It was perfectly normal for this young lady to take a servant out, and everyone in the Xuanwu Family knew about that annoying fly following behind.

"Base Young Master, following must be very boring. How about I pose a question to test you?" Xiaoyao said, walking behind Xuanwu Lingxiao and looking at Shang Lingjian who was chattering beside her.

Now Xiaoyao understood that Xuanwu Lingxiao's temper was really good enough. Just now, all the way here being bothered by this Shang Lingjian, he felt his own temper was already quite good, but even he couldn't help wanting to get angry. Yet Xuanwu Lingxiao just frowned slightly and could endure it.

It seemed some rumors really couldn't be believed. Who said Xuanwu Lingxiao was cruel to people? Although she was cold, she didn't seem to have done anything to oppress others or make unreasonable demands.

She was just cold. Perhaps this coldness made people feel she was difficult to get along with, and then they thought her temper was bad...

Rumors always went this way—the more they spread, the more they deviated!

Regardless, Xuanwu Lingxiao could endure it, but Xiaoyao couldn't anymore. This fly was really annoying. He even suspected Xuanwu Lingxiao had dragged him along to suffer with her.

"Answering your questions would lower my IQ!" Shang Lingjian replied coldly.

"Oh, people who usually say this are those who lack confidence in themselves. Never mind then. Miss Lingxiao, how about I ask you instead? Your IQ compared to Base Young Master's is like the difference between heaven and earth—discussing would be much more interesting." Xiaoyao smiled and said to Xuanwu Lingxiao, as if provoking Shang Lingjian.

"Go ahead and ask!" Xuanwu Lingxiao smiled and nodded. She understood Xiaoyao's behavior very well—he was definitely going to provoke that fly beside them.

"Hmph, don't bother Lingxiao. Just ask me!" Shang Lingjian was indeed provoked. Even though he knew this was goading, he had to accept because Xuanwu Lingxiao was right here.

"I want to ask, why can a frog fly?" Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

Shang Lingjian was stunned, and Xuanwu Lingxiao beside him was also momentarily stunned. What kind of question was this? Also, how could a frog fly?

"That's because someone kicked it and it flew!" Shang Lingjian answered.

"Wrong! It can fly by itself, not due to any external force!" Xiaoyao shook his head, rejecting this answer.

"That's impossible, unless it's a monster beast!" Shang Lingjian guessed again.

"I already said it's a frog! A very ordinary frog!!" Xiaoyao smiled, looking very calm.

"Then..." Shang Lingjian thought for a moment but still couldn't figure out why.

"You don't know, do you? Let me tell you—it's because it ate a Flying Fruit." Xiaoyao said with a smile, shaking his head with an expression that said 'you're very stupid.'

"Pfft..." Xuanwu Lingxiao beside him couldn't help laughing. Flying Fruit—you really can come up with that. That was something from legends.

Legend had it that anyone who ate Flying Fruit could fly...

"You're being unreasonable. Flying Fruit doesn't exist at all—it's just something people imagined." Shang Lingjian said angrily. This boy is playing with me, isn't he?

"Who says it doesn't exist? Why are so many people talking about it? Anyway, this frog can fly because it ate Flying Fruit." Xiaoyao waved his hand with an expression that said 'you lost, stop being a sore loser.'

"This doesn't count. Give me another question!" Shang Lingjian said.

"Fine, here's another one. Tell me, why can a snake fly?" Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

"Because it ate Flying Fruit!" Shang Lingjian immediately replied. Dog slave, can you ask the same question twice? Stupid!

"Wrong. It's because this snake ate the frog!"

"What frog... frog..." Shang Lingjian was stunned again. This frog...

"Haha..." Xuanwu Lingxiao laughed again. This Xiaoyao was really too interesting, able to give such answers that left people unable to refute.

"You're definitely not convinced again. Fine, let me ask you another question. Tell me, why can an eagle fly?" Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

"Because it ate that snake!! Or it ate Flying Fruit!!" Shang Lingjian immediately replied. Boy, this time this young master won't fall for your trick. I'll give both answers and see what you can say.

"Sigh..." Xiaoyao sighed and shook his head, saying lightly: "Eagles can fly naturally!"

"? Naturally... wait..." Shang Lingjian realized the problem. He understood he had been led in circles and played by Xiaoyao. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the noⅴelfire.net

"Hahahaha..." This time Xuanwu Lingxiao laughed heartily. She never would have expected this result—neither the answer to this question nor Shang Lingjian being played made her feel great.

Also, Xiaoyao's sighing and head-shaking expression was very amusing!!

Shang Lingjian, who was also present, didn't find Xiaoyao's expression amusing but infuriating—very infuriating. He felt a fire rising in his chest. He, a dignified young master of the Xuanwu Family, had actually been toyed with by this little servant.

However, knowing he had been played, he still couldn't get angry now because Xuanwu Lingxiao was laughing and very supportive of Xiaoyao.

"Haha!" Shang Lingjian also laughed. "Lingxiao, I was cooperating with this boy. As long as you're happy, I can do anything."

"Uh..." Xuanwu Lingxiao was stuck. She hadn't expected Shang Lingjian to say this.

"Admirable, admirable!" Xiaoyao said from the side, cupping his fists toward Shang Lingjian, clearly expressing admiration for him.

"Xiaoyao, what do you admire?" Xuanwu Lingxiao asked somewhat curiously, taking the initiative to ask. She felt there should be more to come after Xiaoyao's words, and she wanted to draw it out.

"I admire Base Young Master's shamelessness. He truly didn't get the wrong name!" Xiaoyao looked at Shang Lingjian with a respectful face, just short of holding incense to worship him.

"Dog slave, what are you trying to say now!!" Shang Lingjian said viciously. Hearing Xiaoyao's words, he understood that Xiaoyao's words definitely weren't good.
