So the Mo family sent the Young Miss's parents, but they still couldn't convince her. Later, when they learned it was because of Guxing and Xiaoyao, the Mo family became even more frightened and immediately severed ties with Guxing and Xiaoyao.
Originally, Guxing was already beyond the Mo family's control. Guxing had participated in the Dragon Gate Tournament as an individual, which had already greatly displeased the Mo family head, this was a naked slap in the Mo family's face. However, because Guxing's results were outstanding, they had endured it for the time being.
But speaking of it, they still harbored some resentment toward Guxing, because the Dragon Gate Tournament final was between Guxing and the Young Miss, meaning Guxing had defeated the Young Miss to claim first place.
At this time, ordinary people wouldn't think that without Guxing, there might have been other opponents, it wasn't as if without Guxing, first place would automatically be theirs.
However, the Mo family wouldn't think about this. They only felt that Guxing had hatefully stolen the Young Miss's first place.
The Young Miss's achievement was largely due to her luck. If her strength had encountered people like Nangong Suxin, she might have been eliminated just the same, and there had even been a very strong opponent in the preliminaries.
But interestingly, for various reasons, these people didn't take the stage to compete, allowing the Young Miss to advance to the finals without danger. In the end, she wasn't so lucky, in battle with Guxing, she was defeated.
Regardless, the Mo family already had grievances against Guxing. After this incident, they immediately severed ties with Guxing, and as for Xiaoyao, this completely unimportant little servant, they abandoned him even more decisively.
Although the Mo family knew Guxing's potential was great, she no longer belonged to them, so there was no point in fantasizing. Most importantly, the family head still felt Guxing was cursing him, cursing the Mo family, and now felt it was even more serious.
...
...
Knocking down the honor that should have belonged to the Young Miss, wasn't this excellent proof?
Just like that, the Mo family publicly announced that the Mo family had no such people as Guxing and Xiaoyao. This was when many people learned that Guxing was originally from the Mo family, and most people laughed at how interesting the Mo family was, actually abandoning Guxing now.
Guxing dared to face the Le family directly because she had this qualification. If it were others, the Le family would have had them driven away long ago, how would they allow Guxing to come knocking repeatedly?
With just a little analysis, one could know that the Le family actually wouldn't truly make things difficult for Guxing. Their attitude toward this matter was also ambiguous, perhaps they might recruit Guxing at any moment.
Although it was possible to offend the Le family, and given their domineering nature, they might do something excessive, this was also an opportunity that many people would gamble on.
Although many people agreed with the Mo family's approach, it was too conservative. When they did this, they could only be seen as weak, this decision was already a loss from the start!
The Nangong clan was excellent proof of this. Their reputation rose directly in this incident, and even the Le family, who seemed to ignore everything, actually gained considerable benefits. Many people felt the Le family was still magnanimous in this regard and wouldn't use their power to bully the weak.
In the end, everyone knew this was just a matter between Le Youran and Guxing's group, so whatever a clan did in this situation would be seen as weak.
However, even knowing this afterward, everyone understood one thing, Guxing's group had been prepared from the start to become enemies with the entire Le family, because no one could be certain beforehand how the Le family would act.
This courage was still worthy of everyone's admiration.
At this time, most people still didn't care about Xiaoyao's existence, feeling that whether the Mo family wanted this little servant or not was irrelevant.
But at some point later, everyone would discover that the Mo family's biggest mistake wasn't abandoning Guxing, but abandoning this seemingly completely unimportant little servant.
This was another duel. The battle between Guxing and Le Youran was becoming increasingly spectacular. The power of the gauntlets and the sharpness of Guxing's sword made the fight extremely exciting while leaving the ground in complete disarray.
The Young Miss's two-person formation was equally spectacular, people coming and going, appearing busy yet without any chaos, attracting Le family members who liked formation arts and combination techniques.
At this moment, Xiaoyao, who was the cause of all this, was leisurely sitting with Third Miss, drinking tea, eating pastries, and chatting!
These pastries were all brought by Third Miss and seemed to be made by her own hands. Because she knew each visit here would take a long time, and there was only one day each month to see Xiaoyao, making him some food was also Nangong Suxin's idea.
Xiaoyao also really liked Third Miss's pastries and would finish them each time, making Third Miss feel it was worthwhile!
"Third Miss, coming with them each time just to watch from the side, don't you feel bored?" Xiaoyao asked. Over this past year, Third Miss came every time, though she didn't really need to.
She was the only one among the four young ladies who had nothing particular to do!
"Not bored at all! I can chat with you, Xiaoyao, it's very interesting!" Third Miss said with a smile.
"What's interesting about it? Aren't I a very boring person?" Xiaoyao looked ahead, watching the two battle formations, while he still needed to provide advice.
"Sometimes you are boring, but generally you're very interesting, some things you say are classic." Third Miss said, covering her mouth as she laughed.
"Ah, classic? I don't think so! Go back and tell your sister that her defense is good, but sometimes offense is true defense. Defense will make you lose the initiative. Also, she still hasn't entrusted her life to her companion. Although one must be cautious, in such situations, trust is more important than any loss. You must believe your partner will protect you and help you accomplish what you can't!!"
After Xiaoyao gave a normal response, he immediately spoke about Nangong Suxin's shortcomings. Third Miss's greatest use here was chatting with Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao used his conversations with Third Miss to convey his guidance to the three girls.
During this year, Xiaoyao had barely spoken with the three girls, because Le Youran didn't give them opportunities, basically they had to start fighting immediately upon arrival and leave quickly after finishing.
Third Miss completed this special task perfectly. Xiaoyao could see results almost every month, which was why he felt comfortable telling Third Miss important things and having her relay messages.
"Mm, I'll tell Sister." Third Miss also quickly got into character, remembering these words and would relay them exactly to Nangong Suxin. With her memory, even without writing them down, she could easily manage it.
"How has Boss been lately? Is anyone still harassing her?" Xiaoyao asked again.
When talking with Third Miss, he naturally needed to understand the outside situation through her, such as Guxing's living conditions, this was a topic Xiaoyao discussed every month.
After all, Xiaoyao was Guxing's servant. If Guxing couldn't take care of herself, then no matter how important things were here, he should put them aside and return to Guxing's side.
"Guxing is fine, but Mo Yu has people harassing her..." When Third Miss said this, her expression became somewhat strange.
"What? Someone's harassing the Young Miss? Which blind person went to provoke her!" Xiaoyao was also surprised - the Young Miss's temper wasn't easy to mess with.
"This doesn't count as provocation, more accurately, it's a kind of pursuit!" Third Miss said somewhat strangely.
"Pffft..."
The mouthful of tea Xiaoyao had just drunk was sprayed right out.
"..."
"Third Miss, you're not joking, right! Someone is actually pursuing the Young Miss? Male or female?" Xiaoyao looked like he couldn't believe it.
"..." Third Miss was silent for a while, then said irritably: "Of course it's male! Could it be female? Not everyone has Mo Yu's special preferences!"
"So do you like this kind of preference, or not?" Xiaoyao suddenly asked. At this moment, he seemed to be asking Third Miss about this for the first time, what were her thoughts about the Young Miss's special preferences?
Previously, Xiaoyao hadn't cared about Third Miss's thoughts, only thinking about solving the Young Miss's problem!
"Ah... actually, I don't dislike it, but this isn't suitable for me... I..." Third Miss seemed somewhat flustered, as if she hadn't expected Xiaoyao to ask this. By the end, her cheeks began to blush.
"Hehe, my fault for being abrupt, this indeed isn't an easy question to answer!" Xiaoyao smiled. He understood why Third Miss was blushing.
Third Miss's meaning was that she was normal, she liked men. But how could she say such words out loud? Naturally she would blush from holding it in!
"It's nothing... So Xiaoyao, do you think Mo Yu really likes women? I feel like it's more of a joke!" Third Miss looked at Xiaoyao, then lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Hard to say. The human heart is very mysterious. She might truly like women, but that doesn't mean anything. It's also possible she could start liking men the next moment, it just depends on which man can pull her back!" Xiaoyao smiled, not caring much about this.
"If such a man appeared one day, what would you do?" Third Miss looked at Xiaoyao, staring at him as if not missing any slight expression, though it was unclear what expression she wanted to capture or what meaning it would have.
"Asking me?!" Xiaoyao was stunned. He was very surprised by this question, it seemed like something he shouldn't be asked, as the question seemed to have nothing to do with him.
However, Xiaoyao still answered in the end: "I think I should set off firecrackers to celebrate, it's rare for someone to want her!"
