At the same time, the reason the academy allowed bringing servants was because the academy hoped students would have more time to cultivate and practice martial arts. Taking care of one's daily life was somewhat a waste of time.
"I'm not lying to you. I'm a servant, not a student here!" Xiaoyao said.
"If you're a servant, why have I never seen you before?" the woman said coldly.
"Because... I've been doing some temporary work elsewhere..." Xiaoyao answered honestly.
Although Xiaoyao was telling the truth, not many people believed him, especially the woman blocking him. She was very disdainful of Xiaoyao's explanation, thinking he was making up another lie to cover his first lie.
"Then please tell me whose servant you are!" the woman said coldly. She wasn't actually asking this to clarify Xiaoyao's situation, but to completely strike him down.
"My boss is called Guxing!"
Guxing...
...
...
Suddenly, the entire scene fell silent. After a while, burst of laughter erupted.
"Hahaha... Guxing... Kid, if you're going to make excuses, at least pick someone else. You actually say it's Guxing..."
"Yeah, pick someone else. Just find some nobody!"
"Do you know that Guxing is a celebrity here at First Academy Under Heaven? Absolutely beautiful appearance, absolutely strong abilities, and most importantly, she's not even twenty yet! All of this makes her everyone's focus..."
...
The woman pointed at the crowd laughing wildly outside and said: "Did you hear? What they said is what I wanted to say. Guxing has been here for over a year, and I've never seen her have any servant. I've never even heard..."
When she said this, the woman suddenly stopped. She felt like she had said something wrong. She seemed to have heard that Guxing did have a servant - someone who was taken to the Le family by Le Youran. It was because of this servant that Guxing went to war with Le Youran, and they were still challenging each other until now.
"Are you remembering something? I'm the real deal!" Xiaoyao interjected.
"I remember that Guxing does have a servant, but I've never seen him. He was taken by Le Youran. Could this person be you?" the woman looked at Xiaoyao.
"Yes, that's me!" Xiaoyao was somewhat moved. So they did know of my existence - then I don't need to explain so much.
"You really dare to answer like that! I've heard answers like yours dozens of times!"
"Haha..." a group of people laughed.
Xiaoyao stumbled and almost fell over. He hadn't expected that his identity would also be impersonated dozens of times. This was troublesome - what should he do now?
Xiaoyao frowned. He hadn't expected that even being a servant would be so difficult now, requiring identity verification.
"Chi Chi..."
At this time, Chi Chi suddenly appeared beside Xiaoyao, biting his pants leg and calling out.
"Go away, go play somewhere else. I'm annoyed right now!"
"Chi Chi?" Chi Chi looked at Xiaoyao with some confusion.
"You little glutton, hurry up and call your master's boss out to explain!" Xiaoyao kicked Chi Chi away with one foot.
"Chi Chi..." Chi Chi cried out once, then jumped away.
"Ah, how dare you treat Chi Chi like that!"
Xiaoyao hadn't expected that his treatment of Chi Chi would cause public outrage!
"What's wrong? I've always been like this. It's my pet." Xiaoyao completely ignored the public outrage, responding with an indifferent remark that made many people angry.
"What do you mean your pet? Chi Chi belongs to Guxing, and to us too. We feed it every day!"
"..."
After hearing those shouts, Xiaoyao seemed to understand something. For the past year or so, Chi Chi had only followed him at night - he never knew where it ran off to the rest of the time. Now he understood - it came here to freeload food and drink.
Due to its cute appearance, the girls would definitely feed it. And since it was always with Guxing, people thought it was Guxing's pet. Plus, the girls all liked feeding Chi Chi, so the boys started feeding it too.
Chi Chi began thriving here. It ate desperately - all these people's food, it ate without any courtesy. Some people had studied Chi Chi's appetite, and the result was just three words - bottomless pit!
However, even so, everyone still liked feeding Chi Chi. They had forgotten their original motivation - even without other reasons, they all liked Chi Chi because it was very endearing in appearance, knew how to act cute, and most importantly had a lovely personality without pestering people.
Now Xiaoyao was abusing Chi Chi, whom they all loved, which caused public outrage. At this time, everyone seemed to overlook Chi Chi's behavior - Chi Chi would never deliberately bite someone's pants leg. Even Guxing didn't get this treatment.
"Well, thank you all!" Xiaoyao expressed gratitude to everyone who had fed Chi Chi. If not for you, I don't know how much food I'd have to prepare for this little glutton.
Having many people really was powerful! No wonder this little glutton hadn't asked him for food this past year - it turned out it was satisfied!
"Thank us for what? Do you really think Chi Chi is yours?"
"Not think - that little glutton is originally mine. I've raised it for over ten years!" Xiaoyao shrugged, speaking very indifferently.
"Even if it is, you can't treat Chi Chi like that!" someone shouted.
"How I treat that little glutton is my business. Besides, even if I treat it like this, abuse it or whatever, it will still obediently come to my side and let me continue abusing it. Do you believe it or not?" Xiaoyao said with a smile, seeming somewhat evil, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Despicable! To say such things! Whether you're Chi Chi's master or not, I want to duel with you!"
"I want to duel with you too!"
Suddenly, the entire scene became somewhat chaotic. Everyone seemed to forget the main point - they had forgotten that their purpose for coming here was to go in and see beautiful women, not to fight with Xiaoyao.
Sometimes, men were like this - although women were important, they would completely forget about women and put them aside because of some trivial matters!
"Duel? I'm not qualified. You should find someone else." Xiaoyao replied casually.
"What?! You think we're not qualified?"
"..." Xiaoyao fell silent. I said I wasn't qualified! Did you hear clearly?
"Who do you think you are to say we're not qualified!"
Suddenly, anger arose from the group. Xiaoyao was submerged in anger. No one carefully considered Xiaoyao's words - they just thought Xiaoyao said they weren't qualified, which made them very angry.
Think about it - people who could enter First Academy Under Heaven couldn't all be ordinary people. How could they tolerate being looked down upon? Being young and hot-blooded, even if Ning Zhiyuan came, they would be equally unconvinced.
"You're really interesting. Whatever I say, you can misunderstand. What I said was that I'm not qualified. I'm not a student here - I'm still a servant. If you think you can casually bully a little servant, then step forward and hit me!" Xiaoyao stepped forward helplessly and shouted loudly at those people.
"If you were a servant, fighting you would be bullying you, but you're not!" someone shouted.
"Yeah, yeah, you're not!"
A group of people echoed, but strangely, no one stepped forward!
The reason was simple - if Xiaoyao really was a servant, doing this would lower their status. Everyone here had status and naturally wouldn't do such things.
Although they all felt Xiaoyao wasn't a servant and was impersonating one, they didn't dare be certain. Therefore, their thinking was to let others go first while they stayed behind.
However, since everyone thought this way, naturally no one went forward. Everyone just looked at each other - the situation became very interesting!
Regarding this situation, Xiaoyao wouldn't comment, because he didn't want to provoke this trouble. He wished no one would come forward - as long as Guxing came out, the matter would be resolved.
"A bunch of cowardly men! Come, I'll fight you!"
A girl's voice rang out, and the next moment, everyone discovered a beautiful girl standing in front of Xiaoyao with a disdainful attitude toward him.
"Aren't you that transvestite from before?" Xiaoyao said blankly, speaking his thoughts aloud.
"Transvestite? Who are you calling a transvestite!" the girl said angrily. This girl was the one Xiaoyao had asked for directions before - the girl Xiaoyao had suspected of being a transvestite.
"Sorry, I misspoke just now. I accidentally said what I was thinking..." Xiaoyao apologized.
"I'm going to kill you!"
The girl roared angrily, then drew her sword lightning-fast and thrust it toward Xiaoyao...
Xiaoyao didn't dodge. Maybe he felt he couldn't dodge this sword, or maybe he felt he didn't need to dodge!
Didn't need to - not because the girl in front wouldn't strike, but because someone would block this sword for him...
Time seemed to slow down. A figure appeared in front of Xiaoyao, deflecting the girl's sword with one strike, then following with a palm that sent the girl flying directly.
Due to the great force, the girl was knocked flying and spat out blood!
She couldn't believe it - who here could defeat her with one move? Who could so easily send her flying? Who? Who exactly?
Guxing!
The girl saw that figure - this was someone familiar yet strange to her...
Familiar because she knew of Guxing's existence. Strange because Guxing had never spoken a single word to her!
