Chapter 421 The Godly Thief (2)
ere's one more matter; the enigma of Princess Yueyue's life and death. Ning Zhiyuan dispatched people to investigate this secretly, but no one knows the outcome. Perhaps he didn't want anyone to know,...Chapter 421 The God Thief 2
"Strange That little footman hasn't come yet today. It's almost midnight; usually, he appears by now even if late. Could something have happened to him" Wang Yanyu looked at the seat where Xiaoyao had been sitting and felt a bit worried.
However, she soon dismissed this worry with a shake of her head, muttering, "Who would deal with such a small servant boy He can handle most things on his own. He must be busy with something. Hmph, to leave the Queen all alone! I'll make him suffer for sure!"
In boredom, Wang Yanyu looked at the moon again and drifted off in thought. If she had snapped out of it then, she would have been surprised by her ability to daydream like this; previously, even if she wanted to, she couldn't manage a moment's peace without her mind wandering.
Recently, Wang Yanyu felt that she seemed to be becoming more normal. Unlike before, when she needed new books daily just to get through the days or else she would be in pain.
Nowadays, it seems she can occasionally entertain herself with boring activities and her mood is getting better and better. Could this be because of that little footman
Perhaps she doesn't know that over these more than a year, Xiaoyao had gradually treated her psychologically through conversations.
This doesn't mean that Wang Yanyu's illness was psychological; it just means that due to the prolonged duration of her condition, she developed some mental issues which, though manageable, put pressure on her heart. The pressure accumulated over time and could become serious if left untreated, although perhaps she would be able to treat herself upon realizing it.
During this year, Xiaoyao inadvertently relieved her psychological burden, causing subtle changes in her mentality and making her feel more relaxed. This was why she felt happy when with Xiaoyao.
Might she discover this issue later on If so, it would only make her appreciate Xiaoyao even more, further cementing his place as a professional companion in her heart!
In Wang Yanyu's mind, Xiaoyao was merely a companion with no special intentions. Of course, being accepted by her as a companion is an honor few could achieve, or perhaps none at all.
Emotionally speaking, there were indeed some people who could chat with her, but the issue was that they couldn't keep up with her extensive knowledge base and thus couldn't converse about such matters.
Outside of the secret chamber now gathered quite a few people. Even if Xiaoyao had a way to become invisible, he probably wouldn’t be able to squeeze out either.
"Father, it's already midnight. What is this number one god thief doing inside" The son of Wu Xuan Wen Yuan, Wu Xuan Ling Feng, asked.
“I don't know!” Wu Xuan Wen Yuan frowned; in the current situation, he couldn’t figure out anything. He felt that there was no need for the number one god thief to keep silent so long if trapped inside.
Could it be that there were still elements of this matter that had not been considered Could this number one god thief have some hidden agenda
"Shall we break in" Wu Xuan Ling Feng suggested.
“No, behind the door are important items; breaking them would damage those things. Then Father would become a sinner in the eyes of our Wu Xuan Family!” Wu Xuan Wen Yuan shook his head.
"But, Father, if we wait outside and he continues to cause trouble inside, won't that be even worse" Wu Xuan Ling Feng raised another possibility; everyone present had already thought about this scenario.
“It shouldn’t come to that. There’s no need for such drastic action. He was just trying to steal something; failing to do so at most he would escape, and then the matter would be over. If he damages what's inside, it turns into a deadly feud between us and him, leading us to pursue him relentlessly. No one is likely to take such risks unless they’re mad.” Wu Xuan Wen Yuan shook his head, considering this possibility very unlikely.
"Then what exactly is he doing in there" Wu Xuan Ling Feng asked the question again, returning everyone's thoughts to their original point: wondering what Xiaoyao was up to inside.
This situation left everyone puzzled!!
“Could it be that he’s copying our Wu Xuan Scripture This would also count as a successful theft!” Wu Xuan Ling Xiao, who had been guarding the entrance, spoke up. As one of the core members of the new generation, she naturally was present for this significant event.
She thought of this possibility because she suddenly recalled Xiaoyao's reading ability and the fact that the number one god thief wanted to steal the Wu Xuan Scripture; such theft was still a form of stealing.
"..." Wu Xuan Wen Yuan fell silent, “Perhaps Ling Xiao is right. He might indeed be trying to copy our Wu Xuan Scripture. If so, we can't let him go!”
After Wu Xuan Ling Xiao’s reminder, everyone thought of this most probable scenario and understood that if true, the number one god thief could not be allowed to leave; should the Wu Xuan Scripture fall into his hands, it would deal a fatal blow to their Wu Xuan Family.
This was a devastating blow both in reputation and regarding the破解後的武術被破解的風險！：

This was a devastating blow both in reputation and regarding the risk of their martial arts techniques being exposed!
"So what should we do now" Xuanwu Lingfeng asked.
"We can only wait for now. He has to come out eventually." Xuanwu Wenyuan replied, though still feeling helpless, waiting was their only option at the moment.
"What if he doesn't plan to come out today Then wouldn’t we be wasting our time" Shang Lingjian also approached and voiced his presence.
"We have to wait even if it's in vain. You two can go back if you're tired, there’s enough of me here; this time whatever he uses as leverage against me, I’ll kill him!" Xuanwu Wenyuan said coolly.
"Erm…" Shang Lingjian wanted to say that wasn’t what he meant and that he was willing to wait. But at the moment, he couldn't bring himself to do so, because saying it now would only make people pay more attention to his “meaning”.
"I’m not tired yet; I want to see this world’s number one thief, what kind of person is he" Xuanwu Lingxiao said.
“Lingxiao, how can you say that…” Shang Lingjian immediately responded. He was trying to show goodwill but felt that what Xuanwu Lingxiao said might enrage the likes of Xuanwu Wenyuan.
However, he didn't realize that Xuanwu Wenyuan wasn’t angry at all; instead, he agreed wholeheartedly with her words.
"That's right. He is indeed someone special—being able to infiltrate this secret room under so many people’s defenses! If I hadn't been inside waiting for him, nobody would have known about his presence in the first place! And then he was quick enough to identify my weaknesses and force me out of here, further highlighting how calm and swift he is!" Xuanwu Wenyuan said.
Although Xiaoyao made him very frustrated, there were moments when he felt admiration for him. As a good headmaster, his perspective always exceeded others’ in comprehensiveness.
"…" Shang Lingjian fell silent; he thought it better not to speak too much.
“If he intends to memorize the Xuanwu Sutra, that will take at least a few days unless his memory is extraordinarily good and he can remember after one read-through. But even then, it would still require at least one day,” said Xuanwu Lingfeng at this moment, “I think we should rest up well; there’s no need to exhaust ourselves.”
“You’re right. If he really wants to memorize the Xuanwu Sutra, it will take a considerable amount of time, you don’t have to all be here waiting. Rotate shifts,” Xuanwu Wenyuan nodded in agreement, pleased with his son’s suggestion as it addressed the key issue and demonstrated broad-mindedness.
"This can't be determined; if someone like that little rogue is involved, maybe just a couple of hours would suffice," muttered Xuanwu Lingxiao at this moment. This was just her musing to herself, but many people heard it because those present had very acute hearing.
“Lingxiao, who are you talking about” Xuanwu Wenyuan asked curiously. The Xuanwu Sutra wasn’t just a book; it comprised an entire martial arts manual that covered multiple aspects and would take one to two days just to read through, assuming the reader was fast and could devote themselves entirely to reading.
Two or three hours—it was impossible for this to happen. At least in all these years of Xuanwu Family's existence, it had never happened, not even with their most powerful geniuses.
"Ah, I meant a little rogue, no, a little servant boy—his name is Xiaoyao and he works at the academy; his hobby is reading books, so he reads very fast and has photographic memory," Xuanwu Lingxiao hurriedly replied. The aura of Xuanwu Wenyuan made her somewhat nervous without her even realizing it.
"Xiaoyao" This was the first time that Xuanwu Wenyuan had heard this name, but he didn’t give much thought to remembering it since Xiaoyao wasn't someone worth his effort in memorizing. At least, that's how he saw things.
“Hmph, a detestable and impolite dog servant!” Shang Lingjian snorted coldly; he couldn’t hold back anymore!
Xiaoyao had been at the academy where he couldn't find an opportunity to deal with him. But unexpectedly, Xiaoyao left the academy, giving him a chance.
For this month, every time he tried to teach Xiaoyao a lesson, it was all foiled by Xiaoyao’s actions.
He couldn’t fathom how Xiaoyao managed to foil his plans despite their apparent difficulty; when he asked the servants who sought favors from him for advice, they were all impractical ideas that could not be resolved, yet Xiaoyao had managed to resolve them one by one.
He was even starting to doubt if those people were boasting. What couldn’t be resolved wasn't because it was impossible but rather because they hadn’t thought of a solution. How else would someone manage so effortlessly and excellently while leaving him with no grounds for punishment
Shang Lingjian didn’t want to drive Xiaoyao away, as without the chance to torment him, he wouldn't have any fun. He just wanted to make life difficult for Xiaoyao but had never succeeded.
Another thing that frustrated him was that he still hadn’t used all his tricks because he couldn’t find Xiaoyao most of the time; even when he did manage to locate Xiaoyao, it would be too late.
He wanted to catch Xiaoyao and scold him for running around as a servant instead of sticking to one place and working diligently!
But he knew that wouldn’t work because doing so might make Xiaoyao return to the academy, leaving him without an opportunity again. Thus, all he could do was endure it. have these two genius girls backing him up It seems both of them are very concerned about this guy."I'm okay, but you were just a bit late. Why did you need to show off" Xianyao accused the Young Lad...
