Chapter One: Thunderclap

  Boom!

  A thunderclap caused by a flash of lightning spread across the land!!

  "Oh no, Third Young Master has been struck by lightning!!"

  This can also be said to be the sound caused by lightning, which spread throughout the entire Mo family courtyard in a very short period of time. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then it was as if nothing had happened.

  Keep going!

  But it seems that for this news, everyone is not showing the expected panic, but rather treating it very calmly!!

  The Mo family, a well-known clan in the Divine Land for their casting skills. Although their casting technology is not the most advanced on the continent, it is definitely top-notch. A family with such special skills is very welcome, even if they are not particularly strong in combat. In short, the Mo family is also highly sought after.

  In the Tianfeng country where Mo Jia is located, Mo Jia is a top-notch family, and in Qingyun state, it is also one of the top families, with an influence that cannot be underestimated!

  As the third young master of such a family, he naturally receives much attention. However, judging from the reaction of the Mo family, it seems that this third young master has some special problems.

  That's right, there is a problem, and this problem almost everyone knows, at least in Qingyun Province, it is known to all.

  Everyone knows that the Mo family is a top-notch family in Qingyun State, but their third young master is a waste, a very useless kind of person, almost good for nothing.

  Not only can't he cultivate any kung fu because of his physical condition, but his brain is also a bit duller than normal people's, yeah, it means he's not very intelligent!

  However, despite this, Third Master's parents still loved him dearly and did not give up on him!

  After hearing that Third Young Master was struck by lightning, his parents immediately went over. They saw their son now black all over and unconscious.

  At this time, both of their faces were filled with worry, and their mother was anxiously shedding tears...

  "What's going on?" asked Third Master's father in a deep voice. "Why was Third Master struck by lightning again?"

  What's more? Why bring up another one?

  Everyone remained silent on this issue, and no one responded.

  "Where's that vagrant?" After a while, the Third Master's father said, his tone seemingly quite displeased. It seemed this vagrant had nothing to do with the matter at hand; rather, it was just that this person was extremely unpopular.

  "He's probably in the room, or in the study, or maybe in the kitchen, or perhaps in the sword casting house, or the alchemy house, or the mechanism house..." The people surrounding him started answering, and this answer seemed to cover almost every place in the Mo family.

  "What's the point of saying that, where is he now? Find him for me, I want to ask if he's teaching Third Young Master nonsense again. How many times has this happened already!!" Third Young Master's father said angrily.

  "This guy, let's go find him... This carefree person is too unpredictable, he's a family servant, and so is he, why does he always run around everywhere."

  "This isn't just anywhere where he has to help out with odd jobs, he's a low-ranking member of the household, anyone can order him around."

  "Never mind, let's just hurry up and find it, or else Second Master will take it out on us!!"

  "Yes, no matter what he does again, this thing is his own responsibility, we don't want to be implicated!!"

  ……

  Mo family has a remote place, where all kinds of rare herbs and plants are everywhere, it's a paradise for medicinal herbs, this is Mo family's herbal garden, which cultivates rare species that are hard to find in the market.

  The herbal garden naturally supplies the Mo family's Dan medicine house, which is the foundation of the Dan medicine house!

  The Mo family is a casting equipment family, but they also have some small achievements in alchemy. Ordinary elixirs can be refined by the Mo family.

  But this is only limited to ordinary, at most slightly better ones. For higher-end and better quality ones, you need to go to the Dan Medicine family to buy them.

  When everyone found the herb garden, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was weeding and taking care of the herb garden. This boy was the one in everyone's mouth -

  Free and easy!!

  "You're done for, Third Master has been struck by lightning..." A cacophony of mixed voices.

  "Ah, Third Young Master has been struck by lightning again? This time it really has nothing to do with me, I haven't left the herb garden all day, Seventh Old Master can be my witness!!" Xīao said very innocently.

  But from Xiao Yao's words, it can be known that some things in the past were related to him, for example -

  "It's useless even if you're here, who let you chat nonsense with Third Young Master, saying that after being struck by lightning, he might become smarter. Now whenever there's a thunderstorm, he climbs to high places and brings an iron rod as a makeshift lightning rod, this is also what you taught him."

  "..., I'm just casually saying this, it's not like I'm breaking the law or anything. And if I get struck by lightning, I'll really become smarter!!" Xiangyang seemed to be unaware of his own mortality, continuing to talk about this matter as if he had already gotten used to it happening multiple times before.

  "How dare you say that!"

  "What's the big deal, it's not the first time either. Just save people and punish me afterwards." Xiao Yao said nonchalantly, as this was not his first time doing so. Every time after that, he would be slightly punished by doing some heavy and difficult work.

  "This time is different, Third Master is about to die..."

  "What? No way! Third Master isn't skilled in martial arts and has strong resistance..."

  Although it is said that he cannot cultivate his skills, his basic skills can still be practiced. The third young master, although foolish, has always been very hardworking and his physical quality is quite good.

  "We didn't know where to start, let's not waste words with this kid. Someone, take him to Second Master and wait for his instructions..." The crowd directly took Xīyáng away, their movements were also very familiar, as if this wasn't the first time either.

  "Hey, I haven't finished my work here yet. Can you guys wait a bit...?" Xiao Yao was still particular about his work being a bit more perfect.

  "...your work will be taken care of by others, what you need to do now is follow us!!"

  “……”

  So, with the "culprit" in tow, everyone arrived at Third Master's place, where they were met by Third Master's parents and others who glared angrily, as well as some onlookers who were there to see the commotion.

  At this time, Third Master was receiving treatment from the Mo Family's medicine master. However, judging by the expressions of these medicine masters, it seemed that the situation was extremely critical.

  "Xiaoyao!" The father of the Third Young Master said in a deep voice. At this time, if it weren't for the fact that the Third Young Master still had a thread of life left, he would have probably taken action against Xiaoyao already.

  A lowly household servant, for this Second Master, is completely something not worth mentioning, just kill him if you want to!!

  "Ah! Second Master, what can I do for you?" Xiao Yao stood up straight, as if he was receiving an inspection.

  "What's wrong?" Second Master's face twitched a bit, "What did you say? Why would getting struck by lightning make someone smarter?"

  "I've heard it all before!" Xiao Yao replied, muttering to himself, this matter isn't something that was said earlier, why are they still asking.

  "Who is it?" Er Ye asked, as if he had also forgotten that he had already asked.

  "I don't remember, it seems to be the wife of the second nephew of Qi Gong's..." Xiao Yao said, spouting out a mouthful of relationships, and his answer seemed to also explain why Er Ye would ask.

  “……”

  The second master frowned, he seemed to think that Xiao Yao shouldn't be lying, because this answer was so complicated, it was the same every time, and it shouldn't have been made up on the spot.

  Of course, the second master also found someone to verify it, and indeed there was such a person. This person had contact with Xiao Yao and chatted many times. He himself forgot what he said, or maybe he did say something.

  "No matter who it is, if anything happens to my son this time, I'll have you buried with him!" Er Ye said coldly.

  "...what's it to me..." Xiao Yao seemed very innocent, but didn't seem to care or be afraid, facing everything with a calm attitude. This personality made him stand out even among the lower-ranking servants.

  If it weren't for him growing up in the Mo family since he was a baby, people would definitely suspect that he is a hidden No. 2!

  Xiao Yao was picked up by the master of the Mo family when he was outside, at that time the master of the Mo family was leading the Mo family elite to attend a Jianghu gathering, on the way they saw an abandoned baby in the wilderness and had someone adopt this child.

  At that time, Xiao Yao's body was tattered and worn out, it was obvious that he was a child from a poor family, there was nothing on him except for a small jade pendant, the quality of the jade looked pretty good, but the craftsmanship was poor, this kind of thing wasn't worth much money, could be seen everywhere.

  The only difference is that on this small jade pendant, there are a few very rough words engraved, some of which are blurry, while the two characters "Xiao Yao" are relatively clear, and can also be said to be the only two clear characters.

  So, the name "Xiao Yao" was born!

  At that time, the Mo family searched around but couldn't find anyone, and even left someone to wait for a few days, still no one came. So the Mo family adopted this little baby, of course, just as a servant, not as a foster son or anything like that.

  If it is so, then Mozi will have many more righteous sons!!

  Xiaoyao learned how to be a housekeeper from a young age and can adapt to any situation, so he appears in every corner of the Mohist family, doing what a housekeeper should do.

  He seems to learn everything quickly and does things seriously, so he is very welcome in various places. Whatever the matter, they will ask him for help.

  However, it seems that no one has paid attention to what exactly Xiangyang can do and how far he can go. As long as he can do things well and follow orders, that's all that matters.

  After all, Xiao Yao is just a low-ranking servant in the Mo family. Who would care about such a low-ranking servant if it weren't for the Third Young Master's affair? Probably most people wouldn't even know he existed.
