Full Time Servant

"What? Me? Kid, don't talk nonsense, or I'll make you die a very ugly death." The Young Miss came directly in front of Xiaoyao, ready to raise her hand and beat him up, unless Xiaoyao could give a reasonable explanation.

Everyone wanted to wait for Xiaoyao to give an explanation. They wanted to know how this could be considered success, and what relationship this had with the Young Miss.

"I'm not talking nonsense! Young Miss, it really is because of you." Xiaoyao continued. "You should think about what level you're at. Even if the Third Young Master succeeded, he'd still be instantly defeated by you."

"..." The Young Miss was stunned, then thought about her own strength. Indeed, it seemed she was far superior to the Third Young Master. Whether he had improved his strength or not, she would likely defeat him in one move.

At this moment, the Second Madam and others also figured it out. They had made a very basic mistake—having the Young Miss test the Third Young Master's strength.

If it had been someone else, even if their strength was much higher, they would still be able to test whether the Third Young Master had improved, because they would know to hold back and know how much strength to use when fighting the Third Young Master.

But this Young Miss didn't understand restraint at all, directly using her maximum strength to fight the Third Young Master. As long as the Third Young Master hadn't surpassed the level of having fighting capability against her, no matter how his strength improved, the result would be the same.

"Let me do it! Mo'er, get up." At this moment, the Second Madam took the field herself, personally testing the Third Young Master's success.

"This... Can I really do it?" The Third Young Master climbed up, still feeling somewhat gloomy.

"Third Young Master!" Xiaoyao appeared beside the Third Young Master at this time, saying a few words in his ear.

"Yes, that's right. Come." The Third Young Master's eyes lit up, then he raised his head and chest, coming out completely transformed from his previous appearance.

As a result, everyone saw the Third Young Master beautifully withstand the Second Madam's test.

From dejection to spirit, to displaying strength, the Third Young Master completed a beautiful transformation. Everyone now had only two words in their hearts—

Or rather—

Beautiful.

It seemed the Third Young Master indeed had progress—this effect was real.

Of course, the Second Madam had also held back in this, but the Second Madam's strength was evident to all. The Third Young Master being able to withstand it so beautifully absolutely proved that his current strength was no longer ordinary.

Compared to before, this progress was obvious, which also meant the medicinal bath's effect was very clear.

"Second Madam, continue!" Xiaoyao called out at this time. He seemed unsatisfied with this effect.

"?" The Second Madam was somewhat puzzled, but subconsciously continued, continuing to feed moves to the Third Young Master and gradually increasing the intensity. She wanted to know the Third Young Master's precise current level.

As a result, something somewhat unexpected happened!

As the Second Madam increased the intensity of her feeding moves, the Third Young Master's level seemed to get higher and higher, far exceeding everyone's imagination. Even the Young Miss felt surprised.

Because the Young Miss could be certain that if she went up now, the Third Young Master already had fighting capability—at least he could withstand one of her moves.

Now it wasn't just about the medicinal bath's effect. Everyone also wanted to know what exactly Xiaoyao had said to the Third Young Master to cause such a huge change.

"Alright, that's enough, stop." Under everyone's gaze, Xiaoyao again stopped the Second Madam from continuing.

"Why stop? It's very exciting." At this time, the Young Miss, who had been watching the Second Madam and Third Young Master exchange moves, was very puzzled. She didn't understand why Xiaoyao wanted to stop at this moment.

The Second Madam was equally puzzled. She had just wanted to continue releasing her strength, wanting to make moves that would make the scene even more exciting. Now at this moment, Xiaoyao called a halt.

This, like his previous call to continue, was somewhat baffling.

However, anyone with some sense would understand this definitely had a reason. Because Xiaoyao's previous "continue" had already proven meaningful, so his subsequent "stop" must be the same.

"Young Miss, some things should be done just right, Your move just now was very good proof." Xiaoyao said calmly.

"Damn, you kid is still mocking me." The Young Miss became somewhat angry from embarrassment. This was naked criticism and face-slapping from Xiaoyao.

"I wouldn't dare! I'm just stating facts." Xiaoyao began slowly backing away, then took off running.

"??"

Everyone was somewhat puzzled by Xiaoyao's behavior. Why run now? This should be the time to receive rewards. Your method made the Third Young Master's strength advance by leaps and bounds—the Second Madam would definitely reward you handsomely.

The Young Miss?

Even if she's angry, it wouldn't amount to much, and you can't hide or escape anyway. Running is useless.

"Why are you running!" The Young Miss was also very strange and asked loudly.

"I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to fumigate the Young Miss's courtyard today..." Xiaoyao's voice came back.

"Fumigate?" The Young Miss was somewhat confused because she didn't know her courtyard needed fumigation, much less that this procedure was done periodically.

However...

"This young lady is right here—what's your hurry?"

Right, the Young Miss was here. Even though she didn't think there was a problem, so why was he so anxious?

"No, I already started fumigating this morning. Just now you all held me up and I didn't have time to finish!" Xiaoyao didn't stop, just replied.

"What happens if you don't finish?" The Young Miss strode forward, chasing after Xiaoyao. She already understood the Third Young Master's situation and didn't need to know anything more.

"It's not a big problem—your courtyard will just have a bit of an odor. Some incense will fix it!" Xiaoyao continued to reply.

"Then what's your hurry?" The Young Miss didn't understand.

"But... some things will still have more or less of an odor that needs time to dissipate."

"Is this a problem?" The Young Miss said unconcernedly.

"No problem! If Young Miss doesn't think there's a problem, then there won't be a problem!" Xiaoyao said with a smile. That smile was very problematic, but the Young Miss didn't notice.

"I don't think there's a problem. But you—I think you're very problematic!" The Young Miss caught up to Xiaoyao. Her speed was much faster than his—after all, she was a Scholar-level warrior.

"What problem could I have," This time it was Xiaoyao's turn to be confused.

"You have many problems. First, how did you know using medicinal baths would succeed?" The Young Miss said.

"Everyone in the world knows this. Medicinal baths have the highest success rate. You just forgot some basic facts." Xiaoyao said unconcernedly.

The Young Miss tilted her head and thought. She felt things really seemed to be that way.

Medicinal baths were indeed very common. This was also why after the Third Young Master improved his strength, no one paid special attention to Xiaoyao—because everyone knew this method, they just hadn't thought of it.

"Never mind that. What did you say to Third Brother just now that made him seem like a different person."

"Nothing much, just told him to be more confident. Some people clearly have strength but lack confidence, ultimately unable to display their strength. So some say confidence is also one of a person's weapons." Xiaoyao still spoke unconcernedly.

"Confidence..."

The Young Miss muttered thoughtfully. She always felt there was something else here, that Xiaoyao wasn't so simple, but she really couldn't see what was in between.

Because what Xiaoyao did all seemed so ordinary, all natural things.

The only difference was that he could do very ordinary things very perfectly.

However, perfectly ordinary still seemed to belong to the ordinary category, wouldn't be noticed, and would be overlooked. This was also a human blind spot—not paying attention to ordinary things.

At the same time, most people have forgotten that many extraordinary things often begin from ordinary things, and most extraordinary people also start as ordinary people.

...

"Damn it, I'm going to kill that bastard."

That night, the Young Miss's furious roar echoed throughout the entire Mo family. That voice let everyone feel her anger—no one dared provoke her, all staying far away.

At the same time, everyone wondered who was so bold as to provoke the Young Miss—this was the overlord of Qingyun City, let alone in the Mo family.

Not many people knew the person the Young Miss spoke of was Xiaoyao, or they would definitely hold a moment of silence for him.

What had Xiaoyao done to make this Young Miss, who was easily angered but didn't get angry casually, become so furious?

The reason was simple: when the Young Miss prepared to bathe, she discovered her wardrobe seemed to have an odor. Later she discovered this smell came from the clothes inside, and among these clothes were quite a few precious ones.

Precious or not, she could endure, but what she couldn't tolerate was that even her undergarments were the same. This was unbearable.

Now the Young Miss understood—this was what Xiaoyao had meant, and he had already gotten her to say it was no problem.

Hmph, no problem my foot! If I let this end like this, I wouldn't be called Mo Yu.

Actually, thinking about it, not being called Mo Yu would be quite nice... wait, what am I thinking? Go settle accounts with that kid.

Of course, not now—first have the maids randomly get some clothes, take a bath and sleep. Tomorrow I'll go find that kid...

But when the Young Miss went to settle accounts with Xiaoyao, it wasn't the next day but many, many days later. First, Xiaoyao was rather hard to find; second, she quickly forgot about it herself.

Generally in such situations, it was Xiaoyao who ran into trouble himself, inadvertently getting caught by the Young Miss.
