Xiaoyao's departure didn't attract much of their attention. They all felt that Xiaoyao just hadn't adapted yet and believed he would understand before long.

The night passed without incident. Xiaoyao spent it in cultivation and was now almost ready to enter late King Level. At this speed, he could enter Emperor Level within the year. At that time, although he couldn't defeat others, his self-preservation ability would be more than sufficient. Even when encountering God Level opponents, he would still have a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

"Another nice morn... morn..."

When Xiaoyao had just left his room, he discovered there seemed to be a white figure downstairs. Although this was a small courtyard, it was still a two-story building—the upper floor was the bedroom, while downstairs was the living room, bathroom, etc. Though small, it had everything.

But what was this white figure? Xiaoyao vaguely felt this seemed to be a beautiful jade body. Although not the explosive sexy type, it was still exquisite and beautiful.

"Ah!!"

The white figure saw Xiaoyao and let out a scream, then disappeared.

"What's going on?" Xiaoyao was a bit confused, but quickly realized this wasn't a good situation.

...

...

"I'm going to kill you!" A moment later, that figure appeared again, wearing a hastily thrown-on garment, not carefully dressed, and not even wearing shoes. She directly took a sword and thrust it toward Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao didn't think much and directly dodged. The sword qi carried by that sword broke a large hole where he had just been standing. Obviously, if a person had been struck, the consequences would be imaginable.

"Miss, what are you trying to do?"

After dodging, Xiaoyao stayed far away, maintaining a safe distance from that figure. From that sword strike just now, this figure's strength wasn't weak—around mid Emperor Level.

Now Xiaoyao could also see this figure clearly. This was a young girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, her face full of anger. The anger made her small face turn red all over, which was quite adorable.

"What am I doing? I'm going to kill you, you detestable pervert!" the girl roared angrily, then attacked Xiaoyao with another sword. This sword carried countless sword shadows, and along the way even carved sword marks on the building's facilities. This move had considerable power.

Without any real strength, this sword would seem very difficult to dodge. Of course, Xiaoyao was someone with strength—at least someone with evasive abilities.

"Pervert? That title really thinks too highly of me." Xiaoyao said. "Although I did see something just now, the problem is you shouldn't have appeared here. What does this have to do with me?"

"I shouldn't have appeared? This is my home—what shouldn't I appear for!" the girl roared angrily. Another sword strike came, and Xiaoyao saw wood chips flying everywhere again. If this continued, this small building would eventually be destroyed.

"Your home? Is someone already living here?" Xiaoyao was stunned. At this moment he thought he had made a mistake, or that Third Master had made a mistake, calling an occupied place unoccupied.

In such a situation, Xiaoyao felt the best approach was to first withdraw from this place and find Third Master to clarify this misunderstanding.

"Stop, don't think about running!"

Seeing Xiaoyao turn to leave, the girl directly chased after him.

"What's going on? I think I heard little sister's screaming?"

"I heard it too. Not only screaming, but also sounds of fighting..."

"This location seems to be... it can't be such a coincidence..."

Luo Lingyu and the others ran out. Not only the sisters, but Third Master and Third Madam also ran out. They seemed to all think of a possibility, showing strange expressions on their faces.

"Hey, Third Master, are you sure the courtyard you gave me was unoccupied?"

When Xiaoyao saw Third Master, he immediately said this while hiding behind Third Master. With Third Master's skills, blocking that girl just now would be easy.

When the girl saw Third Master and the others, she also stopped, just glaring angrily at Xiaoyao.

"Of course, your courtyard is unoccupied." Third Master shook his head with a somewhat bitter smile.

"Then why did she appear..." Xiaoyao looked at the girl and found that upon closer inspection, she was a stunning beauty, seemingly even more beautiful than Luo Lingyu and the others.

"She's your little sister. She has a problem—she often doesn't remember places..." Third Master said helplessly. This girl was also Third Master's daughter, and she had another problem—she was directionally challenged. This wasn't just getting lost, but even forgetting her own house.

"This was my oversight. I should have written names in front of your courtyard. I originally thought writing them today would be fine, but didn't expect such a coincidence that she chose your courtyard."

"That's not right, Third Master. Didn't you say before that I was the fifth one? Why is there a sixth one?" Xiaoyao was somewhat confused.

"You are the fifth one, but I originally had a daughter, so there are six." Third Master replied. Luo Lingyu was born to him and Third Madam, so naturally she wasn't counted among those found through family search.

"Oh, I see!" Xiaoyao nodded. He had forgotten that they originally had one.

"Lingling, this is your Fourth Brother." Third Master said.

"Hmph!" Lingling puffed her cheeks, very displeased, but this matter could only end here. Who told the other party to be her brother, and she was the one who went to the wrong place?

"Third Master, let me handle this myself. Sister Lingling, I'm called Xiaoyao. Just call me Brother Xiaoyao, not Fourth Brother or anything, because I'm not your real brother—just a clan brother." Xiaoyao said.

"If you're not my real brother, I'll kill you!" Lingling said coldly. Like everyone else, after seeing Xiaoyao's face that somewhat resembled Third Master's, she had already acknowledged that Xiaoyao was her brother.

"I actually didn't see anything just now. I had just woken up. But why were you downstairs so early? I don't remember you going upstairs last night?" Xiaoyao clarified while changing the subject. He was also a bit curious—in this small building, only upstairs had bedrooms. If Lingling had mistaken the place last night, she should have gone upstairs to sleep, but he hadn't heard any commotion.

"I just came back from cultivation practice and wanted to take a bath downstairs, but then... hmph!" Lingling snorted coldly again. It seemed she really disliked Xiaoyao, only restraining herself from making a fuss because he was her brother.

Xiaoyao was thinking: if she learned the truth later, would she chase him down? This was very possible!

But this didn't seem to be his business. He was just sleeping in his room and came out—it was her own fault. Right, if anyone was to blame, it should be herself.

"Alright, alright. If there's nothing else, let's go have breakfast."

"I haven't washed my face yet. I'll go back first." Xiaoyao replied directly. He had just come out—he hadn't done many of the things needed after waking up in the morning.

"I haven't slept enough either. I'll go catch up on sleep first." Luo Lingjiu yawned, then also returned to her room.

The other few were similar, but they were going to wash and dress up, preparing to go to work—they still had their own jobs.

"Hmph!" Lingling also turned and left.

"Lingling, don't go the wrong way. That direction is still Xiaoyao's courtyard!"

"..."

Lingling—this girl's talent seemed very high. Now only seventeen or eighteen years old, she was already mid Emperor Level. Calculating it, she was even faster than Guxing. Of course, Guxing's cultivation conditions were limited at that time, so being slower was normal.

"Everyone eat. Xiaoyao, I'll go with you later to get your jade token, then test your cultivation progress and teach you the Moyun Technique." Third Master said during the meal, then buried his head in eating. He didn't feel this statement needed discussion—it was something that had to be done.

As someone with Luo family bloodline, he should cultivate the Moyun Technique no matter what. Also, checking cultivation progress was very normal.

"Hmph, you chose cultivation? I think you're at most King Level. Don't waste time." Lingling poured cold water on the idea, clearly disdaining Xiaoyao's current strength.

"Lingling, don't say that. Xiaoyao has always been outside without resources or guidance. It's normal for his cultivation to be a bit lacking, right Xiaoyao?" Third Master suddenly realized he seemed to have never asked about this matter—he didn't know how Xiaoyao had been cultivating.

Xiaoyao didn't answer Third Master's question or speak immediately, because his mouth was still eating fried dough sticks. After he finished eating, he finally spoke: "Testing progress and teaching me the Moyun Technique isn't necessary. Just tell me where to get the jade token—I can go myself!"

"See, he's scared. What a coward!" Lingling said.

"Xiaoyao, even if you don't need me to teach you, you should still cultivate it yourself. Why make things difficult?" Third Master frowned. He thought Xiaoyao was rebelling against him.

"No, I won't cultivate the Moyun Technique myself either." Xiaoyao shook his head again.

"Why? Even if cultivation isn't your main focus, you should still cultivate the Moyun Technique. Are you afraid people will laugh at your slow cultivation?" Lingling said again. Although she didn't like Xiaoyao, she was also somewhat worried about his future.

In the Luo family, not cultivating the Moyun Technique would lead to exclusion.

"Xiaoyao, you can't be stubborn about this. You must cultivate the Moyun Technique. At most, I'll have Lingling teach you." Third Master said. If I can't do it, then Lingling can, right?

"Why me... forget it, consider me unlucky. If I have to teach you, I'll teach you!" Lingling was very displeased but helplessly accepted this task. Besides Third Master, she had the deepest mastery of the technique here.

Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who teaches. I have a cultivation method, and this kind of method cannot be changed."

"Why can't it be changed? Is it stronger than the Moyun Technique?" Lingling immediately asked.

"No, not strong at all. On the contrary, very weak." Xiaoyao said with a smile. The Divine Farmer's Art wouldn't be stronger than any technique when compared—it would only be very weak.
