Chapter 62: The Trial Begins

  Why is it so big? This little foodie has always been greedy when eating, and it's already not bad that it didn't eat the whole prison cell, this is already very small for it.

  And it didn't stop there, it also happened to gnaw on a few pieces of wood that were blocking its way, resulting in the wooden planks breaking down in the cell, making it easy for it to roam around freely!!

  "You little foodie..."

  Xiao Yao patted Xiao Chi's head, and Xiao Chi looked puzzled and wronged. He didn't understand what he had done wrong, but soon he recovered and continued to play by himself.

  There is a prison here, but for Chiyou, this prison is actually like a mere formality. Even if it were a higher-grade prison than this one, it would be the same to Chiyou - he could eat his way out of any of them!!

  Eating all over the world, this is where eating has its own special place, the whole world, there's nothing it can't eat!!

  Xiaoyao actually didn't know at first, and the purpose of raising ChiChi wasn't this either. It was only later that he discovered ChiChi's ability to eat, which he had studied for a long time but couldn't fully understand, and could only describe it as a mutation.

  Forget it, take a rest first, continue tomorrow...

  "You, come with us!!"

  The next day, when the prison guard took Xiao Yao out, Xiao Yao still thought he could get "reborn". Following the guard to the empty space outside, he waited!!

  He thinks that he needs to wait now, because the people on the empty land are not just him alone. He thinks these people should also be going out today and should be here to do some formalities. After checking their names, they can leave!!

  It has already started calling names......

  What joy!!

  "It's true!!"

  Arrived at the designated team and continued waiting, waiting for release!

  "Alright, now all of you follow me!"

  Xiaoyao stepped onto a cargo carriage, where all the people who had just been called out were already on board, packing the carriage to capacity. Then, the people in the back continued to squeeze into another carriage.

  Wow, the service attitude of this prison is quite good, and there's even a horse-drawn carriage for pick-up!!

  At this moment, Xiao Yao doesn't think crowding is a problem, but rather sighs that the capital city is indeed the capital city, even the service attitude of the prison cells can be so good, it's really great!!

  However, the sigh of relief was short-lived. Soon, he discovered that he had sighed in vain, for this carriage was not taking people home, but to another place altogether.

  "Hey, Officer Zhao, why have we left the city?" asked Xiao Yao to the officer escorting them.

  "I'm sending you guys to a place to work, they're short-handed recently, don't worry, you'll get paid!" The catcher replied casually.

  What?! Go somewhere to do something? Although this thing is possible, it's usually for long-term prisoners, and someone like me doesn't have that "qualification"!

  Xiao Yao looked at the catcher in surprise and asked, "Catcher brother, I was only locked up for a day because of buying shaobing, and I'm out today. Did you make a mistake somewhere?!!"

  "No mistake, recently short-handed, even if it's a temporary one, was summoned in, however, just a few days' worth of things, quickly done!!" The catcher's patience is sufficient, explaining.

  "But I should be let out now..."

  "But you haven't arrived yet!"

  “……”

  "It's not our fault, it's your bad luck. If those prisoners hadn't escaped yesterday, you wouldn't have had to go! Don't worry, it's just for a few days and your wages will be doubled, we won't treat you unfairly!" the catcher said.

  "...Wandering around at this time wanting to eat and pinch, but now it's not convenient, and most importantly, Chīchī went out to find something to eat early in the morning and is no longer by my side."

  It's just a matter of days, so let's go and get it done. Anyway, when the time comes, we can catch up with our bosses, and there's nothing much for me to do these few days!

  Going to the palace? Even if I went with you, we still can't get inside the palace!!!

  But after arriving at the destination, Xiao Yao suddenly realized something - he didn't need to chase after Gu Xing and the others because wherever he was, they would definitely come to him!!

  It's hilarious, I never thought I'd be arranged to come here and do things, this is too interesting!!

  ……

  This day is an exciting moment for King Tianfeng, as he will be summoning the elites of Tianfeng Country here, the future pillars of the nation!!

  That's right! Today is the day when the members of the Dragon Gate competition go to the Wang Palace!!

  Almost everyone who participated in the Longmen Competition was excited at this time, but at this time, there were a few people who were indifferent to the Longmen Competition. They cared more about a small household Ding.

  "How come Xiao Yao still hasn't appeared? It's already the third day, could something have happened to him?" The young lady furrowed her brow, she felt that this matter was somewhat suspicious.

  "It shouldn't be a big deal, he often disappears like this before..." said the lonely star in a light tone, but her voice seemed to carry a slightly different flavor, making people understand that she wasn't as calm as she seemed.

  This is not like before, going out and having fun shouldn't take so long without returning!!

  "Shall we go and have a look?" asked Third Miss weakly.

  "No way! At least not today, don't forget, today is the day we enter the palace." Nangong Suzi shook her head, for her, entering the palace was definitely more important than finding Xiangyang.

  "You go, I'll go find someone!" The young lady said directly, for her, freedom was a bit more important.

  "Hmm!" The lone star nodded, for her, freedom was everything, and all things could be put aside.

  "I'll go find him too, I don't have anything else to do today!" said Third Miss, her examination had already been completed, this examination thing was much simpler than the Dragon Gate Competition, it was settled with just one exam paper.

  "Alright, it's settled then! We'll split up and ask..." said the young lady.

  "It's all right!" said Nangong Suzhen at this time.

  "Nangong Suzi, don't block others from doing it if you can't do it yourself. Our relationship with Xiao Yao is better than yours, understand?" The young lady said disdainfully.

  Nangong Suzi said calmly: "I admit that feelings are good! However, the reason I'm not letting you go now is not what it means, look over there!!"

  "What?! Eh, eat eat..."

  The big sister looked in the direction of Nangong Suzi's gaze and found that Chi was jumping over, feeling cute at the same time, but also a little speechless.

  "Munch munch..."

  After Chi Chi jumped in front of the Lone Star, he made a strange noise, like coughing, yet not quite, an inexplicable strange noise. Then everyone was shocked to see that Chi Chi spat out a piece of paper from his mouth, intact and completely dry.

  This makes one feel strange, it doesn't seem like it's being eaten into, nor does it seem like it's being held in the mouth, why is that?

  For this question, the four girls did not go ask because Chi Chi would not answer at all. Even if she answered, they wouldn't understand what Chi Chi was saying.

  Now, there is only one thing they need to do, that is to look at the note and see what's written on it!

  "Boss, I'm working somewhere now, don't worry about me or wait for me. Just follow the arrangement of Longmen Competition and go participate in it. I'll be there at that time!!"

  It turned out to be a letter from Xiao Yao, and at this time everyone discovered an unexpected use of Chi Chi, that is, as a carrier pigeon!!

  "Is this written by a carefree person? The handwriting is beautiful and has a heroic flair." Miss Three noticed not the content of the letter, but rather the elegant yet powerful script.

  At this time, everyone looked towards Lone Star!!

  "Yes, this is the handwriting of Xiao Yao!" Lonely Star nodded, she was the only one who knew Xiao Yao's handwriting here, and no one else had ever seen it. If she didn't know, then no one would know.

  "Damn it! This kid is really something, leaving us to work while he's off doing who-knows-what. Are we not even more important than work?" The big sister said with great dissatisfaction.

  "Of course, he'll think work is more important than you!" Nangong Suxin said with a smile, such a good opportunity, she wouldn't let it go to waste, and wanted to provoke the young lady.

  "Hey! At least I'm more important than you, I have this sword, what do you have?" The young lady flaunted her sword, giving a look that made people think she was very "shameless", very asking to be hit!!

  Nangong Suzi was speechless.

  All the way, she had discovered the sword of Big Sister and Lonely Star early on. She also extracted the source of this sword from Big Sister's mouth, and could only get it from Big Sister's mouth, but got nothing from Lonely Star's mouth.

  She also wants a sword of this style, although it may not be better than the one in her hand, but she also wants that feeling, she thinks this kind of sword can bring out her swordsmanship.

  However, Xiao Yao pretended to be ignorant and said that he wouldn't know, and that the sword was made by him together with others at the Mohist Sword Forging Workshop. As for this, Nan Gong Su Xin felt that Xiao Yao was deceiving her. She was very clear about the level of the Mohist workshop, and perhaps some factors in between could be completely ignored.

  But even so, Nangong Suzi had no way out. Xiangyang was unwilling to give in, and she had tried everything from intimidation to temptation, even seduction. But Xiangyang was unmoved, and instead took advantage of the situation for his own benefit. As he put it, if someone delivered themselves to his doorstep, they should be prepared to be taken advantage of.

  Originally, Nangong Suzi thought that Xiao Yao was a bit promiscuous, but later she realized that Xiao Yao wasn't like that. He didn't have any emotions when eating tofu, his goal was to make people know it's hard to approach him.

  What made her even more angry was that Xiang Yang seemed completely unbothered, as if anyone could do it and no one would change his attitude. This attitude of his was unbearable to her.

  But even if she couldn't take it anymore, what could she do? She had already given up and could only vent her frustrations to Xiao Yao all the way, but Xiao Yao was like a cotton ball, not exerting any force, making her feel like she couldn't release her anger.

  As for this, elder sister feels very comfortable and relieved!!
