Full Time Servant

"...Kid, how did you investigate this? You were only gone for half a day, yet you seem to have dug up everything about her." The Young Miss was initially just listening excitedly, but then discovered a problem. Xiaoyao's information was too detailed.

If it had been a long time, that wouldn't be strange, but Xiaoyao had only been gone half a day. When he left, he didn't even know who the person was, yet now he'd returned with complete intelligence.

"Luck, I guess. Third Miss Nangong is quite famous. so I found out once I asked about her. Then I went and mixed with Nangong family servants to get information." Xiaoyao said casually, with a somewhat evasive tone.

Xiaoyao had indeed obtained the information from servants, but this required extensive analysis and organization. Otherwise, would servants directly tell him such information?

Also, he'd used indirect probing techniques, inadvertently obtaining what he wanted to know.

"Mixed with servants for information? Aren't they at odds with us?" The Young Miss seemed not to notice other things, just finding it strange that Xiaoyao would pump Nangong family servants for information, since the two families were opponents. Why would they give information?

"Young Miss, it's just you higher-ups who don't get along. We're all little servants—maybe someday we'll work together. Everyone won't make things difficult for each other. Unimportant information can be exchanged." Xiaoyao replied, revealing something overlooked by high-ranking people like the Young Miss.

"..." The Young Miss fell silent. She discovered that being with Xiaoyao, she often found things she'd overlooked, but these things seemed so ordinary that people would overlook their differences.

The Young Miss quickly overlooked this point and forgot to think deeply. Even with exchanges, this information should be very mixed—true and false. Why could Xiaoyao state these things, and were they true or false?

One couldn't say the Young Miss was careless for overlooking these things, because there were other matters next.

"Xiaoyao, how do you think I should make my move on her?" The Young Miss asked somewhat shyly.

"Young Miss, I think you should ambush her when she goes to Tianxiang Restaurant to eat." Xiaoyao answered very seriously, not noticing the Young Miss's difference.

"Ambush her? Wouldn't that be too sudden?" The Young Miss said, waving her hand.

"How is it an ambush if not sudden?" Xiaoyao asked puzzledly.

"I know sudden things make deep impressions, but I'm afraid she won't like that and will have a bad impression of me. What then?"

"Nonsense, of course she'll have a bad impression. You want to take her down, not court her." Xiaoyao said irritably.

"Damn it, I do want to court her!!"

"..." Xiaoyao was stunned. Could the legend be true?

"Well, Young Miss, isn't she your love rival?"

"No!"

"Love at first sight?"

"Yes!!"

"Thank you!!"

Xiaoyao discovered he was wrong—very wrong. From the beginning, he'd only considered Third Miss Nangong as the Young Miss's love rival, never expecting it to be the Young Miss's alternative preference.

This Young Miss not only had a personality like a man but also had the same preference as men—actually liking women. For many people, this was wasteful behavior—truly too wasteful.

After discovering this, Xiaoyao immediately tried to flee because he knew this matter was definitely trouble. But the Young Miss wouldn't let him have his way and grabbed him.

"Stop! Why are you running? Quickly think of a way for me to court that girl. Whatever you want afterward, I'll give you."

"Young Miss, I think this matter is very difficult. You're too shocking—I advise you to give up," Xiaoyao said very helplessly.

"Damn, are you looking down on me? Do you think women can't marry wives?" The Young Miss's grip tightened. If Xiaoyao's answer didn't satisfy her, she might crush him.

"You can. Though I don't approve, I don't oppose it either," Xiaoyao shook his head and answered.

"Then why do you want me to give up," The Young Miss demanded.

"I think her preference should be men. If you're looking, you should find a woman with the same preference for women as you." Xiaoyao said tactfully.

"The power of love can change everything," The Young Miss declared solemnly.

Damn, whoever said that—I really want to hit them.

"Young Miss, do you really want to pursue Third Miss Nangong?" Xiaoyao asked. At this point, he could only be dragged into this trouble.

"Yes!" The Young Miss said.

"Sigh, alright. I have a method. Generally speaking, women like strong people—those stronger than themselves. Regardless of your gender issue, you must be stronger than her," Xiaoyao stated something everyone understood and that was very practical, especially in this world where strength was supreme.

"I'm definitely stronger than her. When I become the overlord here, she'll definitely be my wife."

"Young Miss, where exactly did you learn all this?" Regarding this question, Xiaoyao had always wanted to ask why the Young Miss was so strange.

"I read it in novels!"

"..."

Xiaoyao shook his head and said: "Forget it, never mind. You need to think—you becoming an overlord is a future business. Will she wait for you until then? Even if she had this preference, by then she'd already be someone's wife and mother."

"That's why time is precious," The Young Miss nodded.

Your words make it sound like you're not a woman...

"Also, according to the information, Third Miss Nangong also has the strength to advance. Perhaps you can meet in the Dragon Gate Tournament and become teammates. Then, going through hardships together would be even better." Xiaoyao said. Based on past Dragon Gate Tournament history, the competition would be divided into several stages, separately testing everyone's martial power, intelligence, willpower, and other abilities.

In these stages, there might very well be group cooperation. Sometimes a stage's trial wasn't mutual competition but completing respective objectives. These objectives could be mundane or dangerous, simple or difficult as reaching heaven.

Everything depended on individual fate.

Of course, Xiaoyao didn't care about fate or no fate. However, such situations could give the Young Miss great opportunities—let her go harm that poor Third Miss Nangong.

What a pity. Why didn't she go harm men instead? Reducing their numbers one by one. Instead, she wanted to harm women—and another absolute beauty at that. This was truly real harm.

If he could choose, he'd rather not have the Young Miss, this absolute beauty, to preserve other beauties.

But Xiaoyao had no choice. He could only help the Young Miss harm others...

For a period of time, Nangong Su always looked at Xiaoyao with hateful eyes, as if wanting to swallow him whole. That resentment made people wonder if Xiaoyao had killed her entire family and forcibly violated her.

At that time, Nangong Su asked Xiaoyao: Why, knowing Mo Yu was a troublemaker, did you still let her harm me and even help her.

Xiaoyao didn't answer because he didn't dare. He knew if he stated his reason, Nangong Su would definitely explode and tear this little servant to pieces.

This reason he had to bury in his heart, absolutely not letting anyone know, especially Nangong Su.

Why?

Very simple. His reason was: rather than let the Young Miss continue harming others, better to have her focus on harming Nangong Su. What if the Young Miss harmed someone he liked? That would be tragic.

Poor Nangong Su—she'd never even met him yet was sacrificed by Xiaoyao.

...

This day, Xiaoyao was preparing for New Year's, decorating the Mo family courtyard with lanterns and colors.

After the Mo family testing ended, it was almost New Year's, because this test was actually the Mo family's year-end examination before the annual holiday, testing Mo family disciples' yearly progress.

"Xiaoyao, New Year's Eve is almost here. Are you preparing to go home for New Year's?" A servant, in this New Year's atmosphere, casually asked Xiaoyao this question.

When New Year's approached, servants also got holiday leave to go home for New Year's. Of course, not everyone could leave—some still needed to maintain daily operations.

"Shh, don't ask him that. He's an orphan," Another servant immediately pulled the previous one aside.

"My home is here," Xiaoyao answered with a smile.

"Hehe, sorry, I forgot for a moment," The servant replied embarrassedly.

"No need to apologize. It's nothing. One person is also a family. In the future, I'll increase this family's members—that's most important." Xiaoyao answered with a smile, not caring about this point.

"Right, the most important thing is looking forward. But have you thought about finding your family?"

"I've thought about it, but I think since they lost me, they should be the ones looking for me," Xiaoyao continued answering with a smile.

"..."

Xiaoyao's thinking stunned everyone nearby. No one had ever thought of such a statement.

"Maybe they're also looking for you but can't find you..."

"Then let them keep looking. Someday they'll find me!"

"..."

Damn, why does this sound so twisted.

"Don't you plan to look for them?" A servant asked with black lines on his forehead, cold sweat flowing.

"I am looking. I'm looking in Qingyun City now, but they don't seem to be here." Xiaoyao still answered very casually.

"That's because your family isn't in Qingyun City. You should go outside and look."

"When I go outside sometime, I'll look around then."

"What if you stay here forever?"

"Then I'll keep looking here!"
