Chapter 20: Calamity 2

  “……”

  I get it, this kid has no intention of actively looking for anything, he just goes wherever and happens to look around, he's completely relying on his family to find him, if they exist at all.

  "It's still better to have a home, at least you know what your surname is!" Ding Leng said coldly, he didn't like the way Xiang Yao spoke, it seemed like he didn't care about family at all, because he was a person who cared deeply about his family.

  But how could he understand that being carefree doesn't mean not valuing home, on the contrary, he values home very much, but finding his scattered family, is it considered going back home?

  A place he had never lived in, a place full of strangers, can it also be considered home?

  Home is not just about blood ties, but more about emotional deposits, a day-to-day and year-to-year accumulation of emotions that slowly form a sense of reliance in one's heart.

  Only blood ties, no emotions, it will never become a family; but without blood ties, with emotions, it can also become a family!!

  "I know." Xiangyang replied with a smile, ignoring other remarks.

  "What do you know?" The servants looked at each other in surprise, as if everyone knew that Xīao had never had a surname because he was only called Xīao. When he was picked up, there was no information showing what his surname was, and nobody had ever given him one either.

  Could it be that he wants to say his surname is Mo and he's a Mohist?

  This is also possible, many family members are like him, they were picked up from a young age and didn't have a surname so they followed the Mo family name, and the Mo family didn't object to this and even found it useful.

  After all, a surname is just a surname. People with the same surname are everywhere, and it doesn't belong to one person or one family, even if it's an imperial clan, it's just a commoner's surname.

  Will Xiaoyao use this surname?

  No, definitely not, absolutely won't!!

  "I know I'm surnamed Le, and my name is Le Xiao Yao!!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, very calmly spitting out these three words that made people envy.

  “……”

  Carefree and happy, seeking a lifetime of carefree happiness!!

  "It doesn't sound good, let's just use my sister's surname!!"

  When everyone was talking, the big sister suddenly appeared and scared everyone.

  "Big Sister!!" Everyone bowed and greeted respectfully.

  "How's it going, Xiao Yao? From now on, I'll take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy stuff!!" Recently, Big Sister has been very good to Xiao Yao, giving off a complete big sister taking care of little brother vibe.

  "No way! I won't!" Xiao Yao directly refused.

  "Why?"

  "Because your surname is Mo, if I had the same surname as you, I would be called 'Mo Xiao Yao'!!"

  “……”

  One sentence shut down all of Big Sister's words and left her speechless.

  "Never mind, don't bother about you, as long as you're here on New Year's Eve, let's spend it together," said the young lady.

  The words of the big sister make a group of people feel envious, jealous and hateful. Although everyone knows the personality of the big sister, they also like her very much and fantasize about being the man who can be with the big sister.

  The big sister has never had a good impression of any man, so everyone thinks there is still a chance!!

  No chance!! She doesn't have a good impression of men, that's because she likes women!! Xiao Yao would definitely whisper to himself if he knew what everyone was thinking now.

  But for some people, as long as the big sister is a woman, an unmarried woman, everything else doesn't matter. So what if she likes women? As long as they can get her, that's all that matters.

  No matter what, everyone is now watching Xiao Yao with complex eyes, and they all feel that Xiao Yao will respond to this rare opportunity.

  But things turned out to be beyond people's expectations.

  "I can't, I want to spend it with my boss." Xiao Yao shook his head and replied.

  "What? What's up, boss?" The young lady asked somewhat puzzled.

  "Mm!" Xiangyang nodded slightly.

  "Aren't you a member of the Mo family?" asked the young lady.

  "Ah!" Xiao Yao continued nodding.

  "Then shouldn't your boss be a Mozi?" The young lady continued to ask.

  "Uh-huh!" Xiao Yao continued nodding.

  "Then I'm your boss, aren't I?"

  "Yes, he is one of them, but not the big boss."

  "What? You're someone else's exclusive servant? Impossible!" After hearing Xiao Yao's words, the young lady already understood that Xiao Yao was someone else's exclusive housekeeper, and naturally had her own master, which is to say, her owner.

  "Why not? I've had this boss for many years, and although I don't usually spend much time with her, during the New Year, I should accompany her so she won't be lonely. My boss is quite pitiful, unlike you, a happy young lady." Xiangyang said with a smile, then continued working.

  Poor thing? That must be an unloved member of the family, probably a distant relative, Big Sister thought.

  "Then let's get along!" The young lady didn't mind who it was, nothing mattered, not even gender.

  For a request from the young lady, many people would agree because she has already made concessions. However, Xiao Yao still refused: "No! You and her getting in touch will only make her more pitiful!"

  "Why? Who is she?" The young lady was puzzled. Why did her interactions with others make them even more pitiful?

  "Don't ask, you'll know later." Xiao Yao shook his head and replied lightly.

  Ordinary people would continue to ask questions in such a situation, determined to get to the bottom of it. However, the young lady was different, she simply said lightly: "Oh, forget it!"

  She didn't ask further because she thought that Xiang Yang wouldn't deceive her, and she would know later. Some things aren't good to know too early, they have to wait for the right time.

  "Right, I almost forgot about the serious matter. Just now a Taoist priest called out your name and it seems like he's quite famous." The young lady suddenly said after a while.

  "Daoist? Oh, it's probably Wu Cai Dao Zhang." Xiang Yang also thought of this, every year at this time, the Mo family would invite some Feng Shui masters to take a look at their house, and Wu Cai Dao Zhang was a frequent guest in recent years.

  Although Hot Dao Number is not talented, this untalented Dao Master is actually a rare talent in the Daoist family, proficient in various mysterious techniques, and also has alchemy skills. It's generally difficult for ordinary people to invite him to do fortune-telling and Feng Shui.

  "Exactly, it's this useless Taoist priest who says he wants you to do something for him!! Xiao Yao, what does he want you to do?" The young lady was very puzzled, why would a talented Taoist master look for Xiao Yao, a small household servant.

  "Nothing, just looking for me to lend a hand..." Xiao Yao replied nonchalantly.

  Are you practicing martial arts? Are you refining your skills? Hmm, it must be so.

  The young lady thinks that what Xiangyao calls "helping out" is actually helping the Taoist priest to refine the elixir, she still has some understanding of Xiangyao and knows that he has some skills in refining the elixir.

  But things didn't turn out as she had thought. The so-called "helping hand" was something she could never have imagined...

  “……”

  When the young lady saw Xiao Yao again, she fell silent once more. At this moment, she really wanted to ask Xiao Yao, "What else can you do?" No, she should have asked, "What can't you do?"

  At this time, Xiao Yao was not by the side of Dan furnace, and his dress was also very strange, not like a family servant, but more like a Taoist!!

  No mistake, like a little Taoist boy, he was wearing a Taoist robe, standing beside the incompetent Taoist priest, holding a compass, as if helping to measure something.

  Now the young lady has understood, what is meant by "assisting", it turns out that it was actually helping the Taoist priest to observe the feng shui, how could this kid even know about this, this is a mysterious thing, you say you are just a house servant, how would you know these things.

  Are you kidding me? Or is this incompetent person a slacker, so he just found some small-time assistant to help out.

  "Hey kid! What are you doing here?"

  The older sister suddenly grabbed Xiao Yao over, seemingly unaware of the current situation and whether she should be so unrefined in entangling herself with a small household servant.

  Now is the time to look at feng shui, for some people it may not be a very important thing, but for some people it is very important, even more important than anything else.

  It depends on whether people take it seriously and believe in it!!

  For the Mohist school, this moment is very important, because a very important person in the Mohist school attaches great importance to it and every year spends a lot of money inviting high-ranking officials to guide them out of confusion.

  This man is the great elder of Mohism, also known as the master of Mohist family!!

  If the host attaches great importance to it, this is a grand occasion. At this time, the old master takes his family with him to follow the geomancer to observe the feng shui, look at the arrangement of the house, and see the changes in the house.

  The reason why Big Sister appeared here is because of this reason. She is the eldest granddaughter of the Mo family's old master and the eldest daughter of the new generation of the Mo family.

  With the old master here, this gathering naturally becomes different. The young lady, in front of so many people, goes to catch Xiao Yao, which will definitely attract everyone's attention and make the old master and others feel that the young lady is behaving improperly.

  The father of the young lady, Mr. Mo, immediately spoke out: "Xiao Yu, what are you doing? How can you treat Daozhang's disciple like this?"

  Dao Tong?!!

  The big sister was stunned for a moment, and soon she understood that everyone else didn't know that the Dao child was actually a free spirit, but thought he was someone brought by the incompetent Dao master himself.

  It's no wonder that everyone thinks this way, after all, for Xiao Yao, in the Mo family, not many people remember him, and how many people can recognize him.

  If it's said that the current Xīao Yáo is dressed as a family guard, perhaps someone would still be able to recognize him. But with his current appearance, even if it were people who had met him several times like Third Young Master San, they wouldn't be able to recognize him unless they took a closer look. Even if they did have some suspicions, they still wouldn't think that this Taoist boy was Xīao Yáo.

  Who would have thought that the Taoist boy with no talent for Taoism would be the carefree Xiaoyao of this small household!!

  If it weren't for the big sister's episode, I guess this matter would have passed like this, and no one would think there was a problem in between.

  And the big sister has been with Xiao Yao all this time, although it's a bit of a coincidence, but that doesn't affect her familiarity with him, so how could she not recognize him.
