Chapter 481: Behavior (1)

would not soften; it remained as stubbornly resilient as before.Meanwhile, if she continued to stay there, it would affect her body. The煞氣 she had protected against for the Mo family was already too...Chapter 481: Action 1

"Actually, whether you eat this vegetarian food or not doesn't matter much. You're just a King rank; we need to deal with the Emperor ranks, though there aren't many of them." The person smiled and said that at this moment, several more people appeared. At the same time, it seemed that all doors and windows were sealed off by mechanisms, sealing up every exit behind iron bars.

These iron bars weren’t ordinary; even if they had their original abilities, breaking through them would take some effort, which was enough for the other side to defend themselves.

Judging from the situation, this Yanhua Temple seemed to have secrets. Installing such mechanisms here, who were they targeting

"Xiaoyao, why are you eating these Anyway, no one cares about you anyway. You can use it as a surprise tactic now that you're like a useless person."

Lu Baocai said directly, scolding and blaming Xiaoyao.

"Then you’re wrong; although they won’t care much, they will be on their guard. After I eat their medicine, they won't have to worry about me anymore," Xiaoyao shook his head and replied as he continued eating. Since he was already affected anyway, it didn’t matter if he ate more.

To be honest, the vegetarian food here indeed tasted very good.

"Even without being on guard, you still don't need to worry about anything now. You’re still eating."

Lu Baocai and others were speechless in this situation. Even if these meals weren’t a problem, there was no mood for food at all. He acted like nothing had happened and continued eating.

"What should I do without eating They definitely want to keep us here. These foods will be our future meals. Either starve or continue eating! The more you eat now, the less hungry you’ll get later."

Lu Baocai was speechless.

Xiaoyao’s words may sound ridiculous, but many agreed with him because these foods contained medicine. They shouldn’t waste it and would let them finish eating it. The deeper they were poisoned, the easier to control them.

If they were in this situation, they believed they’d do the same too.

"What you said is correct; since we're already poisoned anyway, eating more shouldn’t matter much," Lu Baocai said.

"No problem, I could eat as much as possible. As long as your luck doesn't run out, if it does, you'll be like the others."

Lu Baocai continued asking, "When will our luck run out It shouldn’t last a lifetime, right" She started eating too since she was already hungry; maintaining strength in such circumstances was important.

The other few girls saw Xiaoyao and Lu Baocai’s behavior and seemed to understand. They joined them in drinking and eating, making their table the focus of everyone present—the most unusual existence here.

Everyone stared dumbly at Xiaoyao's group; they couldn't figure out whether these people didn’t care about what was happening or simply didn’t know the situation.

The latter seemed more likely—typical wastrels who believed their backing could resolve any issue and feared no one. They thought nobody would dare to touch them.

Yes, absolutely!

"Of course not a lifetime; once the medicine's effects wear off, everything will be fine," Xiaoyao answered Lu Baocai’s question.

"That's right. As long as you behave well, it’s simple. Consider this a few days of play here—eat when hungry and drink when thirsty!" The people who had come in observed Xiaoyao's group; although they found it interesting, they wanted to see precisely this cooperation, which would save them much trouble.

"Xiaoyao, what do you think these people want They seem like they have no ill intentions towards us," Lu Baocai asked. At this moment, she could only ask Xiaoyao since he was the only man at their table. Of course, her voice was very low as she didn't want to attract too much attention.

"No ill intent is normal; we have no value ourselves, and I can even say we're excess. They want you; though lacking value yourselves, your parents or families are powerful. Through you, they hope to gain what they desire from your families," Xiaoyao analyzed this situation which was pretty much certain.

Why use bone-softening powder instead of poison It was because they wanted to kidnap these people as hostages; these individuals had no grudge with them and only hoped to utilize the young masters or misses for their purpose.

"What’s your goal then" At this point, Lu Family's fifth brother spoke up.

"You’re Lu Juntao from the Lu family, right You're said to be a genius of this generation about to enter the Saint rank; indeed an outstanding talent. Your value is likely the highest here!!" Those people didn't answer her question directly but smiled at Lu Juntao with some special content behind their smiles.

"May I ask, what’s your purpose We should know what you want or make us do," Lu Juntao frowned and continued asking.

"I don’t need anything from you; you just need to stay here obediently. Everything will be fine," one of them said with a demeanor that seemed quite satisfactory.

"It seems that your usefulness here is zero; they only want to speak with the head of your family," Xianyao said, frowning slightly as he continued eating.

"What do you mean by 'the head of our family' Do you think we are children Besides, you are also among us," Luo Baocai said somewhat irritably.

"I can be excluded because I am not important. Ah, the worst thing is that if they want to warn your family, I might easily be chosen as the sacrifice," Xianyao said helplessly. People with no value would naturally be sacrificed first.

"You finally know you should fear!"

“Yeah! I’m so scared…” Xianyao replied while continuing to eat.

“Are you still eating when you’re scared!” Luo Baocai rolled her eyes, unsure of how to deal with this unrelated family member.

"I have to eat even though I'm afraid. Perhaps they'll send me out as a warning; I might die well-fed if that happens!" Xianyao said bitterly and turned his feelings into an eating frenzy.

“…”

The others felt helpless looking at Xianyao, wondering to themselves whether he was a fool.

"You should learn from him and eat more; it's going to be cold tonight. Take away their weapons…" Those people took all the weapons, including Xianyao’s sword.

Soon they left the restaurant, leaving only these young masters and mistresses behind. They gathered together to discuss the current situation, guessing those individuals’ intentions, planning ways to escape, etc., without realizing how much time had passed.

Xianyao didn’t join in their discussions; he simply ate until full and went to sleep on a side table while everyone else was busy strategizing. Luo Baocai et al thought to themselves that they were fed up with him—how could he be sleeping at such a time

Forget it, whatever those people want to do… will we really come to harm

"Given the present situation, we can’t figure anything out. We should all rest and prepare for tomorrow," they finally decided in their discussions.

Crap! Isn't that exactly what that brat is doing now

A few people noticed this and initially thought he was heartless and brainless. Now, however, it seemed like everything he did appeared to be the best thing under these circumstances.

Was this just a coincidence

It must have been a coincidence; otherwise, this kid would’ve been too impressive for it to seem possible.

In the middle of the night, Xianyao was woken up and dragged into a corner. The person who did this was from the Luo family—Luo Juntao had gathered all members of the Luo family present together for a small clan meeting.

What he didn’t expect was that Xianyao was also part of the Luo family, meaning there were now seven people in total. Besides Luo Baocai, Luo Juntao and the Eight Brother, there were three more members from the Luo Family; they were two girls and a boy and all quite important figures within this generation.

"You are actually part of the Luo family…" Luo Juntao et al seemed to find it unbelievable that Xianyao was also a member of the Luo family. If not for Luo Baocai bringing him along, or if not for the identity jades on his body, they would never have believed this. Of course, several people still had some resistance towards accepting this.

To them, Xianyao represented shame and made the entire Luo Family lose face; he made them feel even more ashamed.

"I don’t want to be either, but there’s nothing I can do. I have the bloodline of the Luo family, but rest assured that I don’t take their surname and will leave one day," Xianyao said nonchalantly.

“You are at least aware of your limits. But since you’re part of the Luo family now, we’ll have to bring you along. Let’s discuss our countermeasures now; no matter what happens, survival is most important and we should help each other.”

“No need to discuss countermeasures; I can basically confirm that we’re all bait right now. As long as we don’t do anything, they won’t harm us. The only thing we can do right now is not provoke them in any way,” Xianyao said nonchalantly.

“Hmph, do you think this place is the Luo family Things might happen that you didn’t expect under these circumstances. We could all die; don’t be too casual about it.” The Eight Brother sneered. Other people seemed to have similar thoughts but did not express them.

“That’s exactly what I want to say—don't drag me into any of your actions, and know that I warned you ahead of time,” Xianyao said as he found some chairs to lie on and close his eyes for rest. (To be continued…)his current state. What made it harder for him to accept was that Free-and-Easy was just a minor figure in Rank One status. If he were an outsider master, he might understand better.The more he though...
