Uh...
Xiaoyao wanted to find someone to compare with to prove he wasn't the worst. Even if he didn't say it out loud, at least he'd know in his heart. But as he looked around, among all the Mo family personnel present, he seemed to be at the absolute bottom.
Even if he found a few candidates, they were all equally mediocre. Determining who was better would take time, which seemed completely meaningless.
"You're all looking at me like this—do you think I'm handsome?" Xiaoyao said with a smile. Since he'd become collateral damage, he could only face it calmly.
"Scram!!"
"Tch!"
Countless people showed disdain toward Xiaoyao, raising their middle fingers and thumbs—well, thumbs pointing downward...
"Young Miss, it's him! He's the worst!!"
Almost simultaneously, everyone pointed at Xiaoyao and said in nearly unanimous voices.
"Hey you, come over here..."
The Mo family's Young Miss waved at Xiaoyao, calling him over. At this moment, she didn't care who Xiaoyao was and hadn't even looked at him properly. To her, Xiaoyao, this worst candidate, was completely unimportant.
"Coming! Greetings, Young Miss!"
Xiaoyao scurried over eagerly, then spoke very respectfully. As a low-ranking servant, this was necessary—he had to lower his position and be respectful to his masters.
"Mm! What's your name?" the Mo family's Young Miss nodded and asked casually.
"This humble one is Xiaoyao!" Xiaoyao replied.
"Xiaoyao? That name sounds familiar..." The Mo family's Young Miss paused. She felt Xiaoyao's name was familiar, but could be certain she had no impression of him.
"Reporting to Young Miss, he's the one who taught the Third Young Master to get struck by lightning..."
"Oh, so it's you! Kid, very good! Keep up the good work..." The Young Miss said loudly with a smile, patting Xiaoyao heavily several times.
"Yes, Young Miss! This humble one will continue working hard!!" Xiaoyao responded.
"..."
Keep up the good work—do you want to continue teaching others to do ridiculous things? This Young Miss really... what she's saying...
The Mo family people were all speechless, feeling that both the Young Miss and Xiaoyao were being too casual.
"Very good! Xiaoyao, now you go up and compete with that woman across from us. Don't be afraid—if you get injured, I'll pay the medical fees. If you die, I'll give you a grand burial!" the Mo family's Young Miss said even more casually.
"..."
Is that how you talk? Who would dare continue after hearing that!!
"Yes, Young Miss! I will do my very best!!" Xiaoyao responded, seemingly unaffected by the Young Miss's words. His reaction stunned everyone present, who found it quite miraculous.
Hearing such words yet still being able to agree so calmly—this little servant has quite some courage!!
"Nangong Young Miss, greetings!"
Xiaoyao came before the Nangong Young Miss and said with a smile. This smile was polite, and his attitude made people feel he was being very courteous.
"No need for small talk. I'll let you have three moves first! And I won't use both hands..."
The Nangong Young Miss frowned. She was very displeased with this situation, and toward Xiaoyao, she showed complete contempt and disregard.
Just a little servant—did he need the attention of her, the genius Nangong Young Miss? Not needed, completely unnecessary.
"Wait, why let me have three moves?" The little servant raised his arms horizontally, making a stop gesture and interrupting the Nangong Young Miss's words.
"??"
Everyone was somewhat puzzled. Though the Nangong Young Miss letting someone have three moves was a bit demeaning, for you, a little servant, it was actually quite respectful. Even if she let you have a hundred moves, you might not necessarily win.
Could it be that you, this little servant, are hiding your true abilities and have great strength?
"That Xiaoyao, do you know martial arts?" the Mo family's Young Miss asked. She felt her side's little servant might have some skills, thinking she was lucky today.
"I know a little bit!" Xiaoyao replied. Everyone knew Xiaoyao knew "a little bit" of everything, but this "little bit" didn't seem sufficient to contend with a General-level cultivator.
"Very good! Then knock her down!!" the Mo family's Young Miss said directly. She didn't consider that if she herself couldn't defeat the opponent, how could Xiaoyao, this small servant, win?
"Young Miss, that won't work—I can't beat her..." Xiaoyao answered very honestly.
"Damn! Since that's the case, why don't you want her to let you have three moves? You're really an idiot. Since she's willing to let you, hit her hard, don't be polite, just don't treat her like a woman!!" the Mo family's Young Miss loudly scolded Xiaoyao.
"..."
This Mo family's Young Miss is indeed as the rumors say...
The Nangong Young Miss frowned, recalling the city's rumors about the Mo family's Young Miss.
Xiaoyao nodded and said: "Understood! Don't treat her like a woman! But really, no need to let me—I didn't prepare to compete in martial arts with her."
"Very good, don't treat her like a... wait, you just said you're not competing in martial arts with her? What do you mean?" The Mo family's Young Miss was praising Xiaoyao when she felt this little servant was very much to her liking, but soon she discovered Xiaoyao's latter statement was interesting—very interesting.
"Just now, Young Miss, you only said to compete, you didn't say it had to be martial arts, so competing in other things is also fine!" Xiaoyao replied.
"Ah... that's... seems right..." The Mo family's Young Miss was stunned. She hadn't thought of this either. Everyone's habitual thinking, including hers, assumed it would be martial arts.
"Since Miss Nangong said she'd let me have three moves, then please let me choose the competition category. This shouldn't be a problem." Xiaoyao smiled at the Nangong Young Miss, very sunny and harmless.
"No problem!" the Nangong Young Miss replied directly, very casually. Compete all you want—I'm not just a martial genius, I'm proficient in other areas too.
In any aspect, I absolutely won't lose to you, a low-ranking little servant!!
From Xiaoyao's clothing, anyone could see he was a low-ranking servant of the Mo family!!
The Nangong Young Miss was very confident, but perhaps she didn't know that this confidence would make her regret for many years and cause her to forever remember a low-ranking little servant who shouldn't have been in her sight.
"Good, then let's compete in one thing—something we often did in childhood..."
Looking at Xiaoyao's smile, everyone seemed to feel this would be something very nostalgic. Childhood memories are always cherished, and everyone has a childhood.
But soon, everyone's nostalgic feelings were shattered, replaced by speechlessness!
"Let's see who can pee the farthest!!"
"..."
The entire venue fell silent. At that moment, everyone seemed to feel a wind blow by...
"You're despicable..." Even the well-mannered Nangong Young Miss couldn't help but lose her composure.
"Well? Competing or not?" Xiaoyao said calmly, ignoring her anger and just continuing to ask.
"I—ad—mit—de—feat!!" The Nangong Young Miss gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Xiaoyao, saying each word distinctly.
She didn't want to admit defeat, but had no choice but to admit defeat!!
Because this matter was brought up by her, and she had also agreed to it. It was her own overconfidence that led to this result.
Though even if she lost this time, no one would think she really lost—after all, Xiaoyao's move was too despicable and contemptible. Those supporting her far outnumbered those laughing at her.
But regardless, this was still a loss, and to a low-ranking servant she looked down upon. For someone who had always been called a genius and had never experienced setbacks, this was hard to accept!
Even more hateful, this move was too despicable and made her feel insulted...
At this moment, she hated Xiaoyao to death. If not for so many people present, she would have torn Xiaoyao to pieces!!
"Young Miss, mission accomplished—the opponent conceded without fighting!" Xiaoyao ignored the many murderous gazes and said to the Mo family's Young Miss.
At this moment, Xiaoyao seemed to be redirecting everyone's attention, making people understand this wasn't his affair—he was just following orders.
"Excellent! Well done! This woman is too weak—doesn't even dare to compete!" The Mo family's Young Miss patted Xiaoyao's shoulder vigorously, looking down on the Nangong Young Miss.
And her implication was—she was different and could accept such a challenge?
Most people looked at the Mo family's Young Miss, imagining the possibility of the Mo family's Young Miss handling this situation. That fantasy made people somewhat dizzy.
"What are you looking at? This lady could never satisfy you!!" The Mo family's Young Miss noticed these lewd gazes and disdainfully scorned them.
"..."
"Kid, you're quite good, very much to my liking. However, treating a woman like this is a bit despicable. You understand about cherishing women, right?" The Mo family's Young Miss turned to continue speaking to Xiaoyao.
"But this was Young Miss's instruction—don't treat Miss Nangong like a woman!" Xiaoyao replied calmly.
"..."
Everyone now seemed to remember that the Mo family's Young Miss had indeed said this before. In this situation, it seemed the blame was increasingly directed toward the Mo family's Young Miss, making Xiaoyao seem much more innocent.
The Mo family's Young Miss completely didn't care about this. Since this matter was originally hers to bear, what difference did a little more or less make?
"Miss Nangong, shall we proceed to the second match now?" The Mo family's Young Miss ignored Xiaoyao and asked the Nangong Young Miss with a grin.
"No need! You all remember this—this matter won't end here." The Nangong Young Miss said fiercely, looking at Xiaoyao with extremely resentful eyes. That gaze told everyone she definitely wouldn't let this go and there would certainly be consequences.
Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Don't look at me with that expression. I know you want to take revenge on me, but I'm just a little servant, and you're the Nangong family's Young Miss. Holding a grudge against me doesn't suit your status! You should remember our Young Miss—this whole thing was stirred up by her in the first place. Every grievance has its source and every debt its creditor. You should find her, remember her, and take fierce revenge..."
