"What an idiot!" Nangong Suxin mocked disdainfully. "The little servant's aning is that we can't say we're from the Divine Martial Continent now—that would cause so unnecessary trouble!!"
"I know that. Do I need you to remind ?" The Young Miss replied directly.
"..."
"Fine, let's assu you know!" Xiaoyao said indifferently. "Now I have a suggestion. You should all say you were raised by a master since childhood. When asked who your master is, say you don't know. If pressed, say you can't tell. Anyway, your martial arts were taught by your master, the gold was given by your master, and you can say your master lives in Danxia Mountain."
"Where is Danxia Mountain?"
"Don't know!" Xiaoyao said three words that left the others sowhat unable to react. They thought Xiaoyao had chosen a specific place.
"Don't know?"
"Mm, just don't know. Let them imagine and search. What can't be found is the most mysterious!" Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Oh... you're so cunning..." The Young Miss said with a laugh.
...
...
Xiaoyao shook his head and continued: "This isn't cunning—it's strategy! Also, you're already Emperor Level martial artists now. If you have a master, then your master would at least be Saint Level, or even God Level. This will make people think there's soone behind you, and if they want to deal with you, they'll have so scruples. This is also a form of protection!"
"You're so cunning..." This ti, even the Nangong sisters said the sa thing. With this arrangent, Xiaoyao had invisibly created a nonexistent peerless expert to protect them.
"This is strategy!" Xiaoyao declared again.
"Alright, enough about that. When do we set out?" Nangong Suxin asked. She seed to be able to guess Xiaoyao's answer, but still wanted to ask.
"Of course, the sooner the better. Now!" Xiaoyao said directly.
As expected...
"Then that's settled. This was bound to happen eventually. How will we keep in contact in the future?" Nangong Suxin asked a key question. In this world, they still had no way to communicate—even the ssenger eagles between Guxing and Xiaoyao were gone.
"The places you and my boss are going to are fixed. You can write letters or use so monster beasts. This place has many more monster beasts than our side, and there are many interesting monster beasts," Xiaoyao said.
There were quite a few more species of monster beasts here, so of which could provide conveniences for daily life. This was sothing the Divine Martial Continent didn't have. Moreover, the monster beasts here weren't just more nurous in species—they seed to have other differences as well.
Xiaoyao would discover this in the future. Currently, he had only heard about it.
"What about you?"
"I'll contact you when the ti cos. I'm still considering where to go. What I need is a place with good information networks where I can preferably learn things too," Xiaoyao answered.
He had chosen places for the girls, but he couldn't decide on his own imdiately because what he needed was more complex and required more selection criteria.
He wasn't in a hurry to choose a place now. Collecting information along the way was just as good—perhaps even better than staying in one place. This wouldn't be a delay and might help him find a more suitable place.
"Rember to notify us imdiately when the ti cos, or I'll loosen your bones for you," The Young Miss said, raising her fist. The threatening aning was obvious.
"Got it. I'll find you imdiately when the ti cos. You might be afraid when I co looking for you..." Xiaoyao said without much concern, then they said their farewells and parted ways with the Young Miss's group.
To be honest, Xiaoyao was still a bit worried about the Young Miss causing trouble in this unfamiliar world. However, this worry was only slight. With the Nangong sisters watching over her, there probably wouldn't be any problems. Besides, the Young Miss herself was strong enough and wasn't stupid—there wouldn't be any major issues.
As for minor problems, Xiaoyao was too lazy to care. Letting her experience them wouldn't be a problem either.
Most importantly, the Young Miss had experienced no fewer hardships than others. What kind of major scenes hadn't she witnessed? She had been to death's door several tis.
"Young Miss..." Xiaoyao called out at the last mont, but his next words seed to get stuck, as if he was sowhat embarrassed to say them.
"What is it? Are you saying you'll miss ? I know that," The Young Miss said with a smile.
"No, I wanted to say—don't indulge too much in wine and won..." Xiaoyao said very seriously.
"Get lost!!"
"..."
Just like that, Xiaoyao and Guxing separated from the Young Miss's trio in this small town, heading to different places for their respective goals, striving to once again beco people who stood at the peak in this new world, able to bully n and dominate won, able to molest decent won in broad daylight...
Wait, that last part seed to be only the Young Miss's goal!
Guxing's goal was to break through and possess strength that could help Xiaoyao. The Nangong sisters also had their own purposes, though their thoughts were incomprehensible to Xiaoyao. But he didn't think deeply about it—this was their own business.
Heading eastward, Xiaoyao led Guxing unhurriedly toward the Huangpu Family!
The Huangpu Family was located in a country in the central part of this continent. However, the place where Xiaoyao and the others had appeared was in the western region, so naturally they had to head east.
The White Deer Academy that the Young Miss's trio was going to was in the northwest direction, so they definitely wouldn't be traveling the sa route. It was said that White Deer Academy was called "White Deer" because it was located on snowy mountains—an extrely cold region.
Such an environnt was actually more suitable for cultivation. The harsher the environnt, the more it could stimulate a person's potential. Of course, it could also defeat a person's will—it depended on whether that person could remain steadfast.
Returning to the Huangpu Family—its location was better than White Deer Academy's, but not by much!
The Huangpu Family was located in a sparsely populated river basin region with strange mountains, unusual rocks, waterfalls, canyons, and so on. The terrain was extrely complex. Even knowing where the Huangpu Family was located, reaching them wasn't easy.
The river basin where the Huangpu Family was situated was unimaginably vast—covering almost ninety percent of the country it was in. It was an undeveloped region, with forests covering the vast majority of the entire river basin.
The Huangpu Family wasn't located in the deepest parts either, because the deepest areas had many fierce beasts. Although the Huangpu Family might have the ability to resist them, the price they'd pay would be almost genocidal—no one would do such a thing.
Fierce beasts naturally referred to monster beasts. On this continent, not only were monster beasts nurous, but high-level monster beasts were also abundant and very powerful. This should also be due to the more abundant heaven and earth elental energy here.
Although the strength of most high-level monster beasts hadn't reached Emperor Level, their numbers were overwhelming. Even super powers wouldn't dare to easily provoke these deep forest monster beasts.
And there was a high probability of encountering Monster Clan mbers, which would be even more tragic!
On this day, Xiaoyao and Guxing arrived at a border town of the Ancient Moon Kingdom. This Ancient Moon Kingdom was the country where the Huangpu Family was located—the nation that owned that river basin.
The Ancient Moon Kingdom wasn't considered a very strong kingdom on this continent. Although its area was even larger than so strong countries, the problem was that the Ancient Moon Kingdom could only utilize a little over ten percent of its area.
Although the Ancient Moon Kingdom wasn't very strong, no country would invade it because the Ancient Moon Kingdom had the Huangpu Family. Out of respect for the monk if not the Buddha, everyone would give the Huangpu Family so face.
At the sa ti, the Ancient Moon Kingdom wasn't very valuable, so no one would set their sights on it.
However, the border town where Xiaoyao was located was very lively. Xiaoyao quickly understood why—it was also a coincidence.
Right now happened to be when the Huangpu Family was recruiting disciples, and also when the older batch of disciples was graduating. New and old were alternating—new ones coming and old ones leaving—naturally leading to more people coming and going.
"Innkeeper, are there any guest rooms available?"
"None left. You should try finding lodging with local families—there might still be a chance."
When there were many people, this was the trouble. Xiaoyao couldn't find an inn to stay at, and the innkeeper directly suggested he seek lodging with ordinary families. This indicated that the inns in this place were basically full, and others were the sa.
"Innkeeper, I believe you still have other rooms here. We can make do," Xiaoyao showed a friendly, warm smile.
"I did have so rooms empty, but after an important person ca, they booked all those rooms, saying they didn't want to be disturbed! I can't afford to offend such people, and neither can you. Let's forget about it," the innkeeper shook his head.
"We don't want to cause trouble. We just need a place to stay—it doesn't have to be a guest room. A storage room would be fine!" Xiaoyao continued to maintain his smile.
Xiaoyao believed that even if they went to civilian hos for lodging now, the good places had already been taken, and what remained wouldn't be as good as the storage room here.
"There is a storage room, but wouldn't that be too much of an imposition on you?" the innkeeper said sowhat embarrassedly.
"It's fine. It's better than sleeping on the streets. We'll pay the room fee," Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"No need. We can't really charge for that... Just a small service fee would be enough..." The innkeeper was too embarrassed to charge room fees but couldn't let Xiaoyao stay for free either. Running a business, as long as it was fair, no one would complain.
"That's appropriate," Xiaoyao nodded, then took out so copper coins—of course, these were ones he had previously exchanged silver for, belonging to this region.
So copper coins were enough. This was a remote place after all, and not a high-end inn.
"You can eat dinner in the main hall—there's free food and food that costs money," the innkeeper said after collecting the money, then had a servant lead Xiaoyao and the other to the storage room and had soone tidy it up a bit.
