Chapter 6 Things I Often Did in My Childhood 2
“……”
Everyone fell silent, feeling that Xiao Yao was indeed shameless enough to shirk all responsibility. However, it seemed that what he said were all facts.
"That's right, I'm going to take revenge on my aunt!!" The young lady of the Mo family said with a proud expression, pointing her thumb at herself, her beautiful and delicate small face slightly raised upwards.
“……”
"Don't worry, we'll meet again, at this year's Longmen Competition!" Miss Nangong left behind a sentence, then turned around and left with her reluctant fourth brother.
The Dragon Gate Competition mentioned by Nangong Xiaojie is an important selection competition held every three years in the Tianfeng Nation, aiming to select the country's elite talents. Simply put, it is a martial arts imperial examination.
This martial arts competition is not just about selecting who will be the champion, but also deciding who can proceed to a higher level of cultivation. The winner will have the opportunity to enter one of the top sects and academies on the continent.
This is a dream for many people!
The realization of dreams, or the beginning of dreams...
This is also extremely tempting for a martial arts family like the Nan Gong family, not only because their family is not one of the top martial arts families, but also because they want to learn new things!
The experience of predecessors is always the foundation for oneself to reach the pinnacle!!
It's precisely because of this that many families, who are not inferior to those sects or academies in terms of martial arts, also want to seize this opportunity, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of winning the martial arts competition.
This is also one of the important ways for many families to accumulate their martial arts foundation. For a family of foundry like Mo's, this Dragon Gate Competition is even more important, because most of their kung fu skills come from it.
In this world, there may not be absolute military power, but there must be some military power; otherwise, it means that you can be bullied by others.
The Dragon Gate Competition is something that gives you even greater martial power! Whether it's for personal reasons or for the sake of a noble family, this is a competition that must be fought!!
A fish jumps over the dragon gate and becomes a dragon, its value increases a hundredfold!!
Fish are like carps crossing the river, countless in number, but this dragon only has that small part...
Even so, many people still want to do this fish, and it's not easy!
However, among the Mo family, there were two people who had never thought about the Longmen competition. Others might not have qualified, but they would still fantasize about it, yet these two people never had.
One of them is this young lady in front of me——
"Longmen Tournament, I'm not participating in that either..." Mo Family's young miss said with a wave of her hand, completely nonchalant. However, Nangong young miss didn't see this, otherwise she wouldn't have been so quiet before the Longmen Tournament.
The wish of the young lady from the Mo family is to just muddle along in this small piece of land, until death, she has never thought about going out or becoming a dragon.
She cultivates just for the sake of being able to roam freely and unrestrainedly!!
As for this Miss Mo's personality, it's still hard to say at this point. Anyway, she's just that kind of person who is very boring but also very unassuming...
At this time, Mo Jia's little sister didn't care whether Nan Gong's little sister had heard or not, and was about to grab Xiang Yao to praise him a few words, but she found that Xiang Yao had already made his move and left without her "permission".
Mo family's young lady was very displeased about this, and planned to settle the score with Xiangyang after the matter was over. For now, she continued drinking in the Golden Jade Hall, and wouldn't let anyone disturb her mood for drinking!!
It wasn't until several days had passed that the young lady of the Mo family remembered the matter with Xiao Yao. When she asked Xiao Yao for an explanation, his response was: I still have to go back and watch the fire, where do I have time to waste here!!
Watching fire? What fire? The steel furnace?
At that time, Xiao Yao was helping out at the smelting place...
"Hey, where's that carefree kid?"
"Go back, young lady. Xiao Yao is not here today, go look somewhere else."
"Alright! This kid has run off somewhere again, honestly, I asked him to be my follower and he didn't want to!"
Mo family's young lady arrived at Mo family's foundry, looking for Xiao Yao. She just took a look around, but Xiao Yao didn't know where he was working at the moment. During this time, the young lady also got used to finding Xiao Yao and had to visit various places.
These things could have been done by someone else, but the young lady thought it was more interesting to do it herself, and it was a better way to kill time, which suited her boring personality.
Of course, sometimes the young lady also feels annoyed and wants to let Xiangyang be her follower, upgrade Xiangyang's housekeeper level, and no longer be a low-ranking housekeeper.
However, Xiao Yao seems uninterested in this and even rejected the proposal to upgrade the household guards' levels, which is something that the Mo family's household guards have been eagerly looking forward to.
Promoting a house servant's rank is equivalent to getting a promotion and raise, which is something that nobody would absolutely refuse!!
If it's not carefree, wanting to keep a low profile, then there must be something fishy going on in between. However, the young lady didn't notice this and just spoke casually.
After all, Xiaoyao is still young and has a low level, so if he suddenly rises in rank, some people won't accept it!
Generally, minors are ranked as lower-ranking family members and cannot be promoted unless they are special cases, such as personal book boys or personal maids.
Yeah, Xiaoyao is still a minor now, he has one or two years before reaching adulthood.
"How boring! I'll go find a book to read and cultivate my skills, so that I can become the master of Qingyun City soon!!" The bored young lady said with a yawn, stretching her small hand.
“……”
To become the overlord of Qingyun City, this is currently Big Sister's most distant and greatest goal!!
Watching the big sister leave, everyone felt a sigh of relief, because everyone was afraid that the big sister would suddenly find something to do with herself, and the most frightening thing is, these things are often very troublesome.
They won't think that finding a free and easy life is beneficial to the carefree, allowing it to rise in status within the Mo family, nor will they think that the carefree has latched onto the big sister's ship.
Firstly, the big sister only thinks of Xiao Yao when she is bored. Secondly, the things that the big sister does to find Xiao Yao are all things that people don't think are important, it seems like she doesn't take Xiao Yao very seriously.
I'm not sure if it's because of the relationship between these two people that makes one feel it's unimportant, or if it's actually just not that important itself!!
For Xiao Yao, having the young mistress look for him was a troublesome thing, because this meant that he would have to do two jobs at once. This made him want to avoid the young mistress somewhat, but as a lower-ranking servant, he generally couldn't refuse or avoid her.
The young lady is going to what place, everyone basically also knows, because the young lady can see that kind of book is only one kind, that kind of book in Mo Jia has only one place, that is Mo Jia's library.
The Mo family, although a family of foundries, their collection is not limited to just foundry books. It almost covers all aspects of the world's books. After all, this family has been passed down for so many years, and it's still easy to collect these.
Of course, these books basically don't have those top-notch aspects, except for a small part, but they can also maintain high-level ones, and in this regard, they still have the strength.
Because of this, some people have benefited greatly!!
There is another point, the restrictions on entering the library are not very large, but it's also not something that ordinary people can enter, at least those with a household servant status (all of them) cannot enter.
"Hmm, Third Brother, you're reading here today? You must study hard and work diligently!!"
As soon as the young lady entered the library, she saw her third brother, whom she had not seen for a long time, that is, the third young master who was struck by lightning and used to be foolish.
"Big sister, I will work hard." The third young master nodded and replied very seriously, also glanced at the big sister to greet her, then again focused on the book in his hand.
"Alright, I'll just find the book and leave, you don't need to bother with me! Third Brother, some things shouldn't be forced, otherwise they will backfire." The young lady looked at the third young master and said directly.
From what Big Sister said, it seems that Third Young Master is doing something that he's forcing himself to do. What could this be?
Actually, it's like this——
After being struck by lightning, the third young master who survived the disaster became smarter, but only relatively speaking. His talent was not very talented, and he couldn't even be considered outstanding. Coupled with falling behind his brothers for so long, it would be even harder for him to catch up.
Don't think that after being struck by lightning, you'll become some kind of supernatural being. Some people are still the same. Third Master is already very lucky, at least he's no longer stupid.
But this good fortune doesn't seem to have satisfied Third Master's parents, they have high expectations for their son, giving him very high target requirements, which also makes Third Master's pressure very great, and he can only work hard, work hard, and work even harder!!
During this time, the third young master was so quiet that people had almost forgotten the sensation he had caused before. The reason for this was that he was desperately cultivating himself in order not to disappoint his parents' expectations, and he was overworking himself in cultivation.
To put it in someone's words, if this kind of overworked cultivation continues, then later on, this Third Young Master might revert back to his original state and possibly become even more severe.
"Thank you for your concern, Big Sister. I know what's at stake!!" The Third Young Master replied, continuing to study the secret manual in his hand - a book on martial arts and techniques.
"Don't think I don't know what's going on with you! Listen to me, don't overexert yourself!! Second Uncle and Second Aunt are crazy, they clearly know your current state, yet they still want you to participate in the Dragon Gate competition, and this time, it's even harder for you than usual!" The young lady said directly, without feeling the need to be tactful with her words, especially when it came to her evaluation of Second Uncle and Second Aunt.
