Why was she taking action now?
Could it be that the boy really was her servant?
That must be it! It had to be like this!
The girl thought this way, and others had the same thoughts, because just getting Guxing to appear was already a very difficult thing, let alone having her take action.
"Xiaoyao, are you alright? Are you injured?" Guxing looked Xiaoyao up and down, asking somewhat nervously.
This attitude didn't seem like how one would treat a servant - at least, not an ordinary servant!
"I'm fine. Fortunately you came out in time, otherwise I might have gotten a bit hurt." Xiaoyao smiled in reply.
"Yes, fortunately. Otherwise I would have made her pay a price for this behavior." Guxing nodded.
...
...
"..."
Now it seemed she had already been sent flying with one palm strike and suffered considerable injury. What price were you talking about? Seriously injuring her, or directly...
Everyone was somewhat sweating. It seemed Guxing was very nervous about this servant before her. Was he really her servant?
"Guxing, is he your servant?" someone asked this question - it was the woman who had previously prevented Xiaoyao from entering.
"Yes!" Guxing nodded. "His name is Xiaoyao, and he's my servant!"
"Hello!" Xiaoyao was also very polite at this time. When she introduced him, he also greeted people.
"Hello... So you really are Guxing's servant. I'm really sorry about earlier - I misunderstood you!" Seeing Xiaoyao being so polite, and thinking carefully about before, the woman felt she had been very rude and apologized.
Perhaps this was also to show goodwill toward Xiaoyao - well, on another level, to show goodwill toward Guxing, because everyone knew Guxing's potential. A girl not yet twenty years old had already stepped into Emperor Level and was directly pursuing those who had long since entered Emperor Level.
All people who had studied Guxing believed that Emperor Level could no longer block Guxing's steps. Guxing would break through Emperor Level and enter Saint Level, or even higher existence!
Of course, that higher existence was just speculation - not very certain!
Therefore, getting closer to Guxing was everyone's thinking. And Xiaoyao, this little servant by Guxing's side, had also risen in status because one person achieved enlightenment.
"It's fine. It was originally a misunderstanding anyway. This is good too - next time I come, everyone will recognize me and there won't be obstacles anymore!" Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"Yes, since you're Guxing's servant, naturally there won't be obstacles here!" The woman nodded, not being more familiar than this degree was already enough.
"Boss, let's go in. Don't stand here being watched like monkeys!" Xiaoyao said, reminding Guxing. Whatever needed to be discussed could be said inside - there were too many people here, and neither of them was accustomed to this.
"Yes! I'll take you to our house!" Guxing nodded, then stepped forward to lead the way.
"Chi Chi..." Chi Chi jumped over at this time, coming to Xiaoyao's side to act affectionate and cute. This action suddenly reminded everyone of Xiaoyao's words earlier - no matter how Xiaoyao treated Chi Chi, Chi Chi would come back.
At this time, Xiaoyao did something that made people angry - he used his foot to kick Chi Chi around like a ball. After kicking for a while, he grabbed Chi Chi with his hands and pulled at Chi Chi's face, seeming to say something to Chi Chi.
This, this, this was abuse - he was abusing Chi Chi!
Everyone wanted to shout angrily, but they discovered they didn't have the right to shout, because Chi Chi was Xiaoyao's pet - a pet he had raised for over ten years. No one was qualified to say anything to Xiaoyao.
If you weren't satisfied, you could also raise a pet for over ten years and treat it the same way - others wouldn't say anything about you either!
However, speaking of which, Chi Chi seemed very happy and didn't think this was abuse. It cooperated joyfully with Xiaoyao, which left some people who wanted to stand up for Chi Chi without temper - the parties involved were willing, so what more was there to say?
"Chi Chi..." Chi Chi jumped around on Xiaoyao, then when Xiaoyao got impatient, he threw Chi Chi out. After that, Chi Chi became quiet, coming back to lie obediently on Xiaoyao's head without moving.
"..."
"What's this thing moving around behind my head? It's really itchy!" Xiaoyao touched the back of his head and grabbed what felt like a rope-like object - furry, with some warmth.
Xiaoyao was puzzled. Apart from Chi Chi, there seemed to be nothing else on his head, and Chi Chi definitely couldn't have something like this, because it was just a ball!
So Xiaoyao pulled it over and looked at it in front of his eyes - a furry ball, very similar to Chi Chi!
"Huh, this furry ball looks a lot like Chi Chi..."
"Chi Chi..."
"Chi Chi, what do you think? Is this your brother or sister... uh, Chi Chi?"
Xiaoyao suddenly discovered that the furry ball he was holding seemed to be Chi Chi, but why did Chi Chi have this thing on its body? A tail?
"Chi Chi, when did you grow a tail? Damn, looking carefully, you even have ears appearing a bit. You're changing! Now you're not a ball anymore, but a little monster beast that looks like a ball." Xiaoyao looked at Chi Chi and discovered that Chi Chi was actually starting to mutate.
Previously, Chi Chi had been a sphere with nothing protruding from its body. Now it had two additional things - ears and a tail. Its current appearance was even more lethally cute!
Even cuter than before!
"Chi Chi..." Chi Chi proudly shook its head. If it could speak, it would definitely say: You're only noticing now?
Chi Chi's jumping around behavior earlier was to tell Xiaoyao this point, but Xiaoyao hadn't paid attention, thinking Chi Chi was just playing.
"Strange, why is this happening? How come every time you change, it's overnight? Could this be monster beast evolution?" Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled. Each of Chi Chi's changes occurred in a short time, not gradually.
Previous changes hadn't been as prominent as this time - actually growing a tail and ears!
"Chi Chi..." Chi Chi called out. Obviously it didn't understand this. It didn't know - it was just enjoying Xiaoyao's praise, or at least it thought so.
"You're just a glutton!"
"Chi Chi..."
"Yes, glutton glutton..."
"Chi Chi..."
When Xiaoyao was bored, he played with Chi Chi again.
"We're here!"
"Let's talk inside!"
When Guxing brought Xiaoyao to her dormitory house, Xiaoyao looked at the environment and thought it was pretty good. He also knew that Guxing currently had many things to discuss with him, and he did too. These things weren't convenient for outsiders to hear, so naturally they went inside.
The people following behind watched Xiaoyao and Guxing enter the house with somewhat gritted teeth. They seemed to be thinking: why weren't they Guxing's servants? At least that way they could enter Guxing's boudoir.
"Boss, how have you been during this time? Has anyone bullied you?" Xiaoyao's first question was this. The "time" he mentioned wasn't the past year or so.
Actually, during this time, Xiaoyao had always been in contact and meeting with Guxing. The time he mentioned referred to the period after he entered the imperial palace. After entering the imperial palace, Xiaoyao basically never came out, staying immersed in that Imperial Library.
"No, recently with Le Youran nearby, it's been even quieter!" Guxing shook her head in reply.
One of Le Youran's great uses was driving away some people who bothered Guxing. Guxing's charm made some people surround her, and Guxing didn't know how to refuse. Although she ignored them, she also didn't refuse, which made some rather shameless people surround Guxing and refuse to leave. Guxing had no way to deal with this, maintaining the same attitude of ignoring them.
Although Guxing could ignore these people, if they disappeared, she would still be happy to see it. Le Youran helped her achieve this. Therefore, she thought Le Youran was a good person.
Le Youran was just following Xiaoyao's instructions to look after Guxing a bit. This was completely effortless for her - she just needed to say that whoever bothered Guxing was opposing her.
Opposing Le Youran had tragic results - everyone understood this. The Le family's domineering personality was also present in Le Youran, and she displayed it very well.
If they were to select the top ten people in the world who couldn't be provoked, Le Youran would definitely be among them!
"How is your Clear Jade Technique progressing?" Xiaoyao continued asking.
"I'm almost at the eighth level!" Guxing answered. Originally, her technique had been at the peak of the sixth level and had stayed there for a long time without getting subsequent techniques. As soon as she got the subsequent techniques, she immediately stepped into the seventh level. With accumulated foundation, she quickly reached the late stage of the seventh level.
Then Guxing asked: "Where did you discover the later levels of this technique? Did you go to Bright Jade Palace?"
"No, I just discovered this technique in a tome. I believe Bright Jade Palace might not even have the complete version! Don't worry about cultivating. If people from Bright Jade Palace come looking for you, just beat them back and tell them this technique comes from their ancestor's teacher lineage and has nothing to do with them." Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll work hard to cultivate so they won't have a chance to threaten me." Guxing nodded.
Guxing understood that if this matter was discovered by Bright Jade Palace, they would definitely come to pester her. At that time, she would need absolute strength to speak, otherwise she would definitely suffer losses from Bright Jade Palace.
Regarding this point, Xiaoyao was also clearly aware, but he didn't mind, because he believed in Guxing...
