The next day, almost everyone knew the Third Young Master was no longer stupid, and the entire city was in an uproar.
This incident caused a phenonon—a group of people died from lightning strikes because they also wanted to beco smart. However, not many could survive.
Over ti, no one tried to imitate anymore because the death rate was too high.
When too many people died, naturally everyone beca afraid. Of course, there were still so fearless ones who continued seeking death.
anwhile, after the second day, no one saw the physicians who had treated the Third Young Master. This didn't seem like a big deal to the Mo family, and not many people rembered. Without them, new people would take their place—after all, these weren't key positions.
The Third Young Master also began his formal cultivation. He wanted to work hard to catch up with others. Now that he was much smarter than before, his cultivation progress was naturally different from the past—at least he could keep up with ordinary people's pace.
Ti passed bit by bit. Everyone seed to only rember the Third Young Master's current state while forgetting his past appearance, and also forgetting Xiaoyao, the key figure.
On this day, Xiaoyao was once again called to work in the Alchemy Room!
The Mo family's Alchemy Room didn't have much work, and after those physicians left, it beca even more idle. Perhaps because of the Third Young Master incident, the Second Master felt physicians were useless—not even as good as a servant—so the Mo family didn't hire new physicians.
To maintain the Alchemy Room's operation, Xiaoyao was often get called, becoming a regular here. During his spare ti, he would also read the dical texts inside and study them—perhaps to better fulfill his duties, or perhaps just because he wanted to learn.
"Xiaoyao!!"
"Here! What's the matter?"
Xiaoyao, who was reading while tending the fire, imdiately responded when he heard soone call. As a servant, reaction speed must be fast.
"Hurry and co with . The Young Miss has summoned people."
"The Young Miss summoned people?"
Xiaoyao added so materials and fuel to the pill furnace, then followed the person away. From his estimation, this pill should be fine—he'd return to open the furnace after finishing the Young Miss's business.
At most, the quality would be slightly inferior, but this pill was made from ordinary materials anyway—just a common pill, nothing special.
As for what the Young Miss needed people for, Xiaoyao didn't think much about it—not because he couldn't figure it out, but because there was no need to think. Everyone knew the answer.
"Is everyone here?"
An enchanting voice ca from a girl so beautiful she was a miracle of creation.
This was at the Golden Jade Hall in Qingyun City, the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the city, one of the favorite places for the city's nobility and also one of the places with the most conflicts.
Right now, a conflict was occurring—an unusual yet very common dispute!
The two sides of this conflict were both direct mbers of Qingyun City's top families: the Mo family's Young Miss and the Nangong family's Fourth Young Master. Both were outstanding mbers of the younger generation and also mbers of two discordant families. When they t, sparks would fly, especially with the Mo family's Young Miss involved.
This ti, they had encountered each other again!!
"Reporting to Young Miss, almost everyone's here. Rest assured, we have more people than the other side—at least we have the nurical advantage." a small maid following the Young Miss said.
Of course—you've even brought low-ranking servants to make up the numbers. How could you have fewer people!!
Seeing this situation, the Nangong family's Fourth Young Master could only look at the Mo family's Young Miss with arrogance, his gaze seeming to say: You only have slightly more people, but in terms of strength, you're far inferior to mine.
Nurical advantage won't compensate for the lack of quality!!
Look at this one, look at that one—they're all just making up numbers!!!
"Good. Even if it's just numbers, we can't lose in people. Of course, even without so many people, I alone could take down that group of idiots across from us. But this way, others might say we don't have enough people and would send , a woman." The Mo family's Young Miss nodded and glanced disdainfully at the Nangong Fourth Young Master.
This seed to be a response to the Fourth Young Master's previous look!!
"Little Mo Fish, don't be arrogant! Don't forget—you're my defeated opponent!!" the Nangong Fourth Young Master said proudly. This arrogance wasn't unfounded—the Mo family's Young Miss had indeed been defeated by him before.
The Nangong family was a martial arts clan, different from the Mo family's weapon-forging heritage. Their martial foundation was very strong—sothing the Mo family couldn't match.
One reason the Mo family's Young Miss called so many people was that the Mo family's people were far inferior in martial skills and needed quantity to compensate.
"Damn it! You're asking for death! This lady is called Mo Yu, not Mo Fish! If you can't read, go back to kindergarten and study properly!!" The Mo family's Young Miss beca furious. Mo Yu was her given na, but it sounded too similar to "Mo Fish." When her father chose the na, he apparently hadn't considered this, and once recorded in the family genealogy, it couldn't be changed.
"Is there a difference?" the Nangong Fourth Young Master said contemptuously.
"..." The Mo family's Young Miss fell silent for a mont. Regarding this question, there really was no difference—at least in pronunciation. However, this matter made her very unhappy; she couldn't accept it.
"Of course there is! One is the 'yu' of gentle words, the other is the 'yu' of fish in water! Didn't your teacher teach you to read and write? You truly are big-headed and brainless!" The Mo family's Young Miss struck back sharply.
Big-headed and brainless?!
Xiaoyao, who had just arrived and was standing at the back of the crowd, looked at the Nangong Fourth Young Master and discovered that this Fourth Young Master's head really was very large—much larger than normal people's. This was definitely the Fourth Young Master's distinctive feature and possibly his source of pain.
"Stinking woman! I hate it most when people ntion my head. Today you're dead!!"
Indeed, the Nangong Fourth Young Master flew into a rage!
"I'll keep saying your head, your head, your head..." The Mo family's Young Miss said with a smile. Won never show rcy after gaining an advantage, especially this Mo family Young Miss.
"Attack! Take down this woman and all her people!" The Nangong Fourth Young Master beca even more furious and charged forward himself.
"Who takes down whom is still uncertain! Little ones, charge for your grandmother! Beat this big-headed ghost... hit his big head, and grandmother will reward you handsoly!!"
The Mo family's Young Miss shouted while rushing forward, beginning to fight with the Nangong Fourth Young Master!!
At this point, both sides directly entered the climactic heated stage...
And at this mont, what should Xiaoyao, a low-ranking servant brought to make up numbers, do?
"Xiaoyao, why are you still playing with your little monster beast? Hurry and help! Really, I don't know what you're thinking, raising such a useless little monster beast!" a servant who was already helping said.
At this mont, just as the servant said, Xiaoyao was feeding a small monster beast. This little monster beast was snow-white all over, fluffy in appearance, about the size of a round ball, with a pair of equally snow-white wings, big red eyes, and limbs hidden in the snow-white fur, almost invisible.
Based purely on appearance, this little monster beast was extrely ornantal, very cute, and a type many people liked to raise.
However, this type of monster beast was purely ornantal—practically zero in terms of utility. Generally, only bored nobles and girls who liked cute things would raise them.
The little monster beast beside Xiaoyao was this very common type, not very valuable in pet shops, called a Little Snow Monster. The only difference was that Xiaoyao's was especially fat and round.
Because Xiaoyao's little monster always ate everything—it could even eat stones!
What people found sowhat magical was that although this little monster beast was very fat and round, it could still fly and was quite agile—definitely an anomaly.
No one rembered how this little monster beast ca to be. They only knew that Xiaoyao had been raising it for a very long ti—roughly rembered that it wasn't there from the beginning but was acquired later.
But it was just an ordinary little monster beast—no one cared about it.
"Oh, got it! I'll be right there..."
Xiaoyao responded, then began to throw himself into the work he was supposed to do—
"Young Miss is mighty! Young Miss is dazzling..."
Xiaoyao shouted loudly from the back. This wasn't because he was observing from the sidelines, wanting to stay out of it, but because this was what these low-ranking servants were supposed to do—cheer for those in front.
They were originally people brought to make up numbers. If they joined the battle, their role would just be getting beaten, so no one cared whether they participated or not!!
"Very good! Continue!!" The previous servant seed to approve and nodded after seeing Xiaoyao do this. Afterward, he also cheered—he was just a low-ranking servant, not much different from Xiaoyao.
"Chi chi..." The little monster beast beside Xiaoyao called out. It seed to be helping cheer too, and the sound it made was always the sa tone: "chi chi."
Combined with the fact that this little monster beast was essentially a "foodie," Xiaoyao gave it a na: Chi Chi.
Thus, the battle continued, the cheering continued. The Mo family's Young Miss indeed wasn't just talking tough—she had real skills, at least more than enough to handle the Nangong Fourth Young Master.
The Nangong Fourth Young Master now frowned tightly. The longer the fight continued, the more surprised he beca. Originally, as he had said before, the Mo family's Young Miss was his defeated opponent, and not much ti had passed since then. But now it seed the Mo family's Young Miss could already match him.
This improvent in strength was very obvious!!
Logically, the Mo family should lag behind the Nangong family in martial cultivation. If the two families' positions were reversed, the current situation would be normal, but now this situation seems sowhat abnormal.
Could it be that this Mo family's Young Miss had so new opportunity?
