ister venture out into public for the sake of a small servant is something that warrants absolute suspicion.When Miss Three stepped onto the stage, there was a gasp from both on and off the stage. Eve...Vol. 1 Chapter 416 No Noise Allowed 1

"Hm, think it over and decide later." The Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao nodded.

"Understood, I feel that the timing for this condition should be delayed as much as possible; it will become more valuable then," Xianyao smiled.

"You little rascal!" said the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao with irritation. She naturally understood Xianyao’s meaning: The stronger she became in the future, the greater effect this condition would have.

However, the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao didn’t mind this point; it was all the same to her anyway. She wouldn’t think that doing so would make a concession to Xianyao simply because of a change in power. This was a promise and it remained the same no matter what.

Very soon, Xianyao and the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao returned to the entrance of the Black Tortoise Family Manor. However, Xianyao had to exit through another gate and go his separate way from the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao. Besides that, even if he also entered here, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to enter with the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao; he could only enter through a side entrance.

The main gate of the Black Tortoise Family Manor was only accessible to the family and guests; servants had to enter from the side gates. Many noble families had such rules, so this wasn’t anything special.

At that moment, however, a voice rang out:

"Xiao, are you alright I’m worried sick!"

If anyone else said this, the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao would definitely thank them. But she ignored it and walked in without so much as glancing at the person.

Needless to say, this was Shang Lingjian!

After not being able to find the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao, Shang Lingjian made a decision: He would wait for her here. He had many things to tell her and some matters he needed to discuss with her; if it were delayed too long, its effectiveness would decrease.

"Xiao, I was beaten up by that woman White Tiger Yingqiong in order to help you. My ribs are broken! Look at the blood on my body; this is what came out back then…" Shang Lingjian followed behind the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao and spoke to her.

Was he seeking credit

This scoundrel was indeed shameless enough that, even knowing that he had been deceived and everyone else knew it too, he still regarded this as an act of bravery. He took his injuries as proof of a glorious heroic deed to save a damsel in distress.

Such people with such tactics could have possibly breached her defenses if the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao didn’t hate him so much. After all, it’s true that without shame one is invincible!

Xianyao shook his head and continued walking towards the gate to the beast pens. He had no great interest in following up on the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao’s affairs. Previously, he was just dragged out by her, and Shang Lingjian was so annoying that Xianyao would play with him as a matter of course.

Now, however, the situation was such that he needed to go back and do his own thing, while the Black Tortoise Spirit Xiao also had things she needed to attend to. They were walking separately. If he followed her now, it wouldn’t be an incidental act but something deliberate! Clearly, Xianyao wouldn’t deliberately do this!

"Shhh…"

As Xianyao approached the beast pens gate, he heard a voice; its owner was somewhat familiar. He looked up at the wall and saw that it was the Wei Family’s wall.

On top of the Wei Family’s wall sat a woman in a floral dress with her hair tied into a coiled snake bun. She smiled at Xianyao while swinging her legs back and forth.

"…" Xianyao was speechless; this woman was the only one he knew from the Wei Family, Wang Yanru, who had just called out to him.

Pretend not to recognize her!

Xianyao turned around and walked ahead!

"Ouch…"

Just as Xianyao took a step forward, he was hit in the head by something; it seemed like a pair of embroidered shoes. No surprises there: The Queen was throwing things at people again.

"Queen, why are you doing this" Xianyao said with annoyance while picking up the shoe. When he turned around, he saw that one of Wang Yanru’s delicate feet was suspended in midair.

"Who let you pretend not to see me!" Wang Yanru tilted her head upwards and gave him a side profile.

"You said it yourself: Make sure to act like I’m a stranger when the Queen is seen during the day," Xianyao replied with irritation. He felt that he was being very innocent, but also knew that this might be another instance of getting an undeserved beating.

"Really When did I say such a thing" Wang Yanru suddenly blushed and pretended to have forgotten about it.

“Oh well,” Xianyao said helplessly while shaking his head, “don’t pretend. Your memory won’t forget anything.”

"Cough… Alright, I did say that, but only in front of others! Since there’s no one here now, you don’t need to act like a stranger!" Wang Yanru blushed again as if her lie had been exposed.

“How would I know whether anyone is here or not…” Xianyao said with a frown. “But Queen, aren’t you going to feel unseemly sitting on the wall in such an outfit”

"What's elegant or not I like it, that's all!" Wang Yanyu said completely unconcerned.

"That’s true, if you like it then go ahead, but your skirt is already revealing too much," Xianyao remarked. However, despite his words, he didn't seem to mind looking.

"Ah... And yet you still look!!" Wang Yanyu screamed in shock and seeing that Xianyao was still staring at her, she got angry again, picking up the other embroidered shoe and throwing it at him.

Xianyao gently reached out to catch it and said, "I shouldn't have looked but since I already did and haven’t suffered any losses for it, why not look"

"You…" Wang Yanyu pointed at Xianyao, unable to speak properly. "Fortunately, I’m wearing something underneath my skirt today; otherwise you would’ve seen everything!!"

In fact, Wang Yanyu's undergarments were quite conservative—only a small portion of her legs was exposed, and she wore long pants underneath.

"Eh What are you saying, do you usually go without" Xianyao followed up on her statement.

"Get lost!!" Wang Yanyu shouted furiously, wanting to throw something at him.

"Cough cough, Your Majesty, why don’t you put your shoes back on Seeing you like this makes my heart flutter," Xianyao pointed at her jade-like feet. Although only part of them was visible, he could tell that they were a pair of alluring legs.

"Then hurry up and return my shoe!" Wang Yanyu snapped.

"Right away, right away!" Xianyao tossed the shoe back to her, knowing she would catch it. This kind of thing wasn't new for them.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what are you doing here in broad daylight" Xianyao asked as Wang Yanyu put on her shoes.

"I was bored and waiting for you to come at night; but then I saw you dripping wet," Wang Yanyu said strangely.

Xianyao looked puzzled. Sometimes, Wang Yanyu could perceive things that seemed to have vanished. His clothes were already dry because he had used his inner energy to dry them quickly and no one would think he was previously "drowned" in the lake.

Forget it, asking her wouldn’t help anyway; she’d just say it’s women's intuition!

"I encountered someone at Lyre Lake who kicked me into the water," Xianyao casually replied. He didn't mention about the Demon Loach, planning to tell her later when it was more appropriate.

“Who dared to do such a thing and touch my people!” Wang Yanyu said with an air of dominance, ready to take up Xianyao's cause.

"...Firstly, I am not your person. Secondly, stay away from this person; you’re no match for her," Xianyao said.

“What Don’t underestimate me! I’m very powerful!” Wang Yanyu felt slighted by his words.

Xianyao shook his head and said, "I'm not underestimating you. But this person is too strong; she might even be a god. Do you think you can match her"

"This... I may not be able to match her but I have people! Don’t worry, tell me who it is and I’ll help you get revenge," Wang Yanyu patted her chest as if ready to take on the challenge.

Xianyao was speechless—more about her background than her attitude. He knew all too well what kind of person she was.

She had connections with people even stronger than gods, and from the sound of it, she could ask for help anytime; that’s not ordinary power. Still, considering the number of powerful factions she has stayed at, they must be quite formidable.

"No need. She didn’t do anything to me and instead gave me many things. I’ll tell you about this later tonight," Xianyao shook his head, refusing her offer. He didn't want Wang Yanyu to get into trouble with Fox Xin Yue.

“Why wait until night Can’t you tell me now” Wang Yanyu asked.

"Your Majesty, don’t you know I’m still on the job and that there are occasional people around here during daytime who would see us talking" Xianyao said.

“Hmph, even I didn't say it’s troublesome, yet you’re saying it’s troublesome Alright then, come pay your respects to me tonight,” Wang Yanyu pouted and stopped speaking, only telling him to return in the evening.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xianyao replied and headed towards the gate of the demonic beast enclosure.

After entering through the gates, he greeted some people there and took care of his assigned demonic beasts before heading toward Inner Courtyard Academy to quickly finish reading the books inside so that he could make time for new ones.

In the evening, Xianyao's reading was interrupted because someone had come looking for him; it was Black Tortoise Ling Xiao!

Why did Black Tortoise Ling Xiao come again She simply carried a message from Vermilion Bird Thunderbolt. She didn't know where exactly Xianyao was, but she knew about Black Tortoise Ling Xiao.

The message contained the catalog of books in the Vermilion Bird family's collection, which is what Xianyao wanted to see.

At the same time, an annoying fly followed her and glared at Xianyao with hatred. Now, Xianyao could feel that resentment intensifying, but he chose to ignore it.son to lose her temper, but before she could do so, Free and Easy had already said one sentence that made her think there wasn't much reason to.“Yes, I have these red beauties who make others envious....
