Chapter 15 Taboo 1
"Yes! What are your orders, Miss Biao?" Xiao Yao replied respectfully and cautiously, not wanting to provoke the "peach blossom curse" in front of him.
No wonder Xiao Yao said this was a calamity. Although Miss Tai's seniority is not small, she is still very young, only in her early twenties, and can be said to be very youthful and energetic. However, youth does not represent beauty, nor can it rule out things that are annoying.
This aunt looks very ugly, specifically how ugly it is hard to say, perhaps her appearance is not too ugly, but her inner heart and character, even if she doesn't look too ugly on the outside, will become even uglier.
All day long, relying on power to bully others, ordering people like Xiao Yao around and frequently using hurtful words.
And this Miss Tai, in a big family like Mo's, is actually not special at all. There are many people with such an identity, very common, and some even with lower status have also climbed up to this identity.
The lady in front of you is a cousin of a concubine of an uncle of Mozi.
And her profession in the Mo family was neither that of a host nor a guest, but rather a manager, slightly higher than a housekeeper, overseeing a group of servants and maids.
It is said that the wife's sister, who was also a maid, caught the eye of her brother-in-law because she had some charm.
It is also said that Miss Biao's current position as a manager is also due to the credit of her cousin, the concubine.
Although it can be said that this lady is somewhat suspected of abusing her identity, after all, she is also a member of the imperial family, and among the lower-ranking people, there are not many who dare to say anything to her. Even if she is an inferior relative of the emperor, she is still a relative of the emperor, and perhaps she may have the possibility of wearing a yellow riding jacket.
"Are you willing to come back? Hurry up and get to work, if this arena is not ready before the first day of next month, then you'll be eating your way out!!" Miss Biao said with a haughty tone, humming a sentence afterwards, and continued to scold the next person.
Xiao Yao nodded and responded with a "got it", then ran off to work!
"Xiaoyao, you're really unlucky, and now you've been caught by this woman." A house servant next to Xiaoyao said.
"It's alright, what she said is also right, even if it's nonsense." Xiao Yao replied nonchalantly, he was like that, even if he was scolded, he could still remain calm and composed.
"Only you have such a good temper, I've had enough of her long ago. Apart from pointing fingers and criticizing, she's basically useless! We'll do what needs to be done! Who else dares to slack off on this stage? This is the most important gathering for our Mo family, we're all giving it our all! Don't you still fear death after last time?" The housekeeper continued to complain, venting his frustrations.
This arena is for testing the strength of Mohist members, held once a year, not only to select who is stronger, but also with some additional honors and intrigue.
And this time it is even more important because the results of this test will directly affect who from Mo Jia participates in the Longmen competition!
Although this is just a selection within the Mohist school, if even this cannot be passed, then don't think about proceeding with the next step. This is actually the first step for Mohist members to participate in the Longmen competition.
From this aspect, it can be seen that this stage is crucial and there is no room for slackness!
But the last time in the mouth of the family, was actually a young master who lost his own strength, unwilling to admit defeat, and pushed the responsibility onto the stage, because at that time, the stage could not withstand it, and some collapses occurred.
After all, the arena is only temporarily built, and in martial arts competitions, there are often powerful moves that can put the arena in a precarious situation...
"Hmm, this needs to be reinforced a bit more, or it will definitely not hold up!" Xīao nodded as he reinforced the arena, wanting to reinforce every part of it.
With a carefree attitude, this arena will be the most solid one in history if nothing unexpected happens!
In fact, it was the case that in this martial arts competition, someone wanted to use the arena's weakness to deal with their opponent. As a result, what made him very depressed was that the arena could withstand his powerful attack, leaving him with nothing to gain, and he was even taken down by his opponent.
This made him want to find out who built the stage afterwards, why it was so solid and not permanent, can't you be less serious?
"Who do you think will win this time?" The household servant on one side changed from complaining to gossiping.
"Which house? Shouldn't it be about who wins?" Xiao Yao was a bit puzzled, this seemed to have nothing to do with the houses, it's just an individual test.
"Don't you know? This time it's not just personal, but also a struggle between the different houses. They want to see which house will come out on top! I heard that the casino has even opened up betting pools, betting on which house of Mo will win. Apparently they have some sort of standard for calculating this, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. However, I think Old Master's house has a good chance." The servant continued to speak and asked Xiao Yao a question:
"And you?"
"What? Oh, you're asking which house to focus on. I think the second house is better than the main house. Although the old master's house has the two sisters supporting it, they may not necessarily work hard." Xiao Yao replied nonchalantly, still focusing on his own work.
"Even so, there's Da Shao Ye, Qi Shao Ye, San Xiao Jie, they're all very strong! As for the second house, Er Shao Ye is definitely out of luck, Si Xiao Jie can still make it, but others don't look too good." The servant expressed a different opinion.
"I'm watching Third Young Master!" Xiao Yao said casually while continuing with his work.
“……”
That Ding fell silent, and it wasn't just him, even the people who were listening felt speechless for a moment, because Xīao Yáo's words made them feel ridiculous.
The third young master has returned to normal, but according to everyone's indications, he is still very weak. Even if it is said that there have been some achievements recently, they are still far apart.
After the successful medicine bath, there were only a few people present. Except for the second lady and the young ladies who had some speaking rights, no one else's words were taken seriously, no matter how eloquent they were.
As for the second wife's words, others more or less felt that there was some exaggeration, as for Big Sister, she simply didn't have time to say this, and no one would discuss these things with Big Sister.
Therefore, almost everyone still does not know that Third Master has actually become stronger and at least can put up a fight, he won't be the kind of person who is completely defenseless.
The people present thought that the Third Master was too weak, so they felt that Xiao Yao's words were somewhat absurd and some even let out a scornful smile, of course, this scorn was directed at the Third Master.
"Third Master... it's not that we look down on him, it's just that his current strength is still too far off. If it were next time, he might have the ability to compete." The Ding family head said after a moment of silence.
"A miracle might happen." Xiao Yao smiled and continued with his work.
"I also believe in miracles, but miracles can't keep happening to the same person. The fact that he was struck by lightning is a miracle in itself."
"Miracles don't have to wait for heaven to descend, one's own efforts can also make miracles happen." Xīao said lightly.
"...The crowd of Ding's family fell silent and stared at Xiao Yao, they thought Xiao Yao's words were very..."
So arrogant!!
That's right, it's pretending to be a master!! They absolutely wouldn't think that the words of a vagabond are profound, because that kind of thing doesn't match the identity of a lowly servant like a vagabond.
"If you think a miracle will happen, then bet on it! Third Master is a dark horse. If a miracle really happens, you'll definitely win big time!!" said one of the family servants standing beside him.
"Alright, I'll go a bit further." Xiang said with a nod.
"... Several family members fell silent, they were just joking around, this was basically a done deal, how could they let someone jump into the fire pit, at least not their own people, they hadn't become that bad yet."
"I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"
"I'm not joking, I think Third Young Master can win, I'll bet on him, this can win a lot." Xiao Yao replied.
“……”
"If you really want to, then we won't stop you!"
You're determined to go die, who dares to stop you!!
"Why don't you all come together, there's a great chance of winning." Xiao Yao asked at this time.
“……”
"You'd better play by yourself! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
"Aren't you guys going to have some fun?"
"Not playing!!"
"What a pity!!"
“……”
At this time, I believe no one will sympathize with Xiao Yao, they just want to see Xiao Yao go to his death. Yes, for them, betting on San Shao is going to send him to his death!!
Xiaoyao is now dead and unrepentant, and still wants to drag everyone down with him. Such people are often abandoned and despised by others...
"Finished work, going to the casino..."
With a carefree clap of his hands, he was ready to call it a day and leave, but at this moment, someone didn't let him have his way.
"Let's go!! Do you want to leave?" The auntie appeared, seemingly having been keeping an eye on Xiao Yao all along.
“……”
Please don't have a crush on me, I may be slightly good-looking, but I'm not that kind of handsome and elegant person, others are much more handsome than me, look at the one next to me, strong and powerful...
"Hehe, Miss Biao, is there anything else?"
"You're late again, now you'll make up for the lost time by staying behind and continuing to work!!" Miss Biao stood with her hands on her hips, exuding an air of superiority.
"I wasn't late, I was just taking a break..." said Xiao Yao, as a diligent house servant, he had never been lazy before, however, even servants have breaks, and during that time, he would rest very briefly.
What is full-time work, it means working according to the normal working hours specified by the employer, with fixed time for going to and leaving work, both of which are fixed.
Alchemy Storm
Newly tender smile, thank you to all brothers and sisters. Although I didn't make it to the top 12, still short of about a dozen places, but the recommendation votes are not less than those in front, that is, the foundation of Xiaojia Ding is a bit weak now, Xiaojia Ding still needs to continue working hard.
There are also fewer members clicking on this thing, one member click is equal to one recommendation ticket. If you don't mind the trouble, and those students who haven't logged in within the login range, log in once, this is also a kind of support...
Of course, if there are recommended classmates, please continue to vote, your recommendation is an effective force to narrow the distance...
