uncertain.The most pitiable is the Fourth Prince, who intentionally seeks trouble with Young Miss. If we were to talk about three months ago, there was quite a gap between Young Miss and the Fourth P...Chapter 278: A Tempting Feat to Draw Out the Tiger, Part 1
Pleasantly Begging for [1] Moon Tickets... Everyone fell silent. They felt that this young man seemed a bit too calm. In such a situation, he could still talk and laugh as if nothing was wrong. Wasn't he worried about his future
Moreover, saying things like this now would only make the Fang family punish you even more seriously. Otherwise, everyone could use this as an excuse to get in!
However, it's rather strange too. This young man doesn't seem to have much strength; how did he manage to sneak in here Even if the Fang family is careless, their defenses can't be so lax for a minor character like Xiao Yao to enter.
If that were the case, wouldn't the entire Fang family have already been freely entered and exited by others!
The girl didn’t seem too concerned about this question at the moment because she was more curious if Xiao Yao had genuinely come to pay respects. If he did, who exactly would be the ancient person he mentioned Could someone live for three thousand years
If there is such a person, then they must be incredibly powerful, even surpassing those that the Fang family can’t offend!
Normal people wouldn't have such long lifespans; only the strong would. Even long-lived demonic races need to first become considered as a demon race before being called one, and simultaneously, demonic races require strength to live so long.
After three thousand years, even someone with average talent or a beastly creature would definitely be a deity-level figure. However, if it's human, living for three thousand years means surpassing the god level, which seems unlikely.
Because, even Martial God hasn't lived more than a millennium; few have even reached half a millennium. Human lifespans are much shorter compared to demonic races, reflecting a balance of advantages and disadvantages.
Humans advance faster in cultivation but their lifespan is significantly reduced!
No matter if human or demon, those who survive till now are all formidable opponents that no one dares offend—let alone the Fang family; no one on the continent can provoke them.
Hence, this girl was very concerned about this. If it's true, then if anything happens to Xiao Yao here, the other party would severely pursue responsibility.
No, I must confirm this!
"Do you truly have an old acquaintance Who is he, and has lived for three thousand years" The girl asked tentatively.
“Yes. If you know Senior Chen Shiru's matters, then surely you'd recognize him. Otherwise, sorry, without his consent, I can't reveal anything.” Xiao Yao said.
"..." The girl fell silent; who knows about Chen Shiru’s affairs Three thousand years have passed; there might not be any records left. If there aren’t, it would be hard to verify this young man's claims.
"Miss, you can talk with him slowly. We'll take our leave now!" The three Imperial martial artists by the side prepared to leave. This situation seems to have another explanation, and they feel that Xiao Yao’s strength is enough without them staying, especially considering there are quite a few people around this girl.
"Alright, you all go rest first. I'll handle him!" The girl nodded.
At this moment, something happened making Xiao Yao somewhat surprised and the Fang family rather shocked.
A sharp whistle sounded in the tranquil night, like a signal flare. Soon, Xiao Yao noticed a bright flame rising into the sky—indeed, a signal flare!
The position of that signal flare seemed to be at the Fang Family Castle’s location; tonight seems something is happening there…
Wait, if there's an incident over there while they are here, wouldn't it mean their appearance here could be part of a "draw out the tiger" tactic Unfortunately for me, I'm right in this phase!
Dang it, what if these people misunderstand
When Xiao Yao thought about this, he quickly understood; clearly, they've misunderstood him.
"This is an enemy attack! Quickly, let's go back—we may have fallen into a trap!" The girl quickly reacted, understanding the signal meant an enemy assault. As they should be defending over there and are here instead, it’s clear this was a "draw out the tiger" tactic.
"Kid, you were stalling all along!! You're dead for sure!!!" After others rushed to help, the girl said to Xiao Yao.
“Haha, it's just a misunderstanding. Your enemies wanted to draw your attention away and didn't expect me to be here! I'm not with them at all! Think about it—here, you'd surely catch me, and their goal would already have been achieved. With you nearby, who in this situation would stay here to sacrifice themselves” Xiao Yao chuckled.
“No matter what, you're coming with me!” The girl couldn't immediately tell if Xiao Yao was lying or not but felt it safer to keep him around.
"This isn't necessary, I'm just a passerby and not important; you should focus on your own business." Xiao Tao shook his head. At this point, he was already planning how to escape—facing only the girl seemed like an opportunity.
However, considering the current situation where enemies are attacking and Fang Family would be full of defenders everywhere, leaving would be difficult. This place isn't the center but close enough; multiple checkpoints lie between here and the exit—a lesson Xiao Yao learned upon entering.
Therefore, Xiaoyao felt that this situation wasn't suitable for him to escape, especially at a time when he sensed the presence of some Emperor-level powerhouses nearby. If he were to run away, they would definitely chase after him.
"Follow me!" The girl used shackles to chain Xiaoyao; she naturally brought handcuffs here for capturing people, and these weren't ordinary cuffs either – they could lock a martial artist's true energy, making even an Emperor-level martial artist lose their ability to resist. For Xiaoyao, who was merely a rank 1 General level martial artist, it went without saying.
Then the girl prepared to rush towards Fang Family Castle; perhaps she might be able to help in some way!
Xiaoyao followed her reluctantly while running because she held him with the shackles. But Xiaoyao didn't mind, so what if he had to run There was nothing else to do at this moment, and he felt that he needed to go take a look.
He wasn't sure why he had such a feeling; given his personality, he wouldn't be interested in watching something like this!
Could it be that this matter was somehow related to him
This thought didn't last long because he immediately faced another problem –
"Hey, miss, even though I don't mind you dragging me along, can you please not run across walls and houses I can't get over there!"
When the girl rushed towards Fang Family Castle, she didn't take the proper route but instead tried to leap over obstacles like walls and houses. For her, this was an easy task.
In fact, for Xiaoyao too, it would have been simple if he wasn't restrained!
"Really troublesome!" The girl swung the chain in her hand towards Xiaoyao; then the chain seemed to come alive and coiled around his body very dexterously.
Was she planning on…
"Up you go!"
The girl pulled, lifting Xiaoyao's entire body up and catching him as she did so. She then carried him on her shoulder and continued charging towards Fang Family Castle!
"Um, miss, doing this isn't very nice; if you let me go, I can walk over myself!" Xiaoyao frowned – how was he supposed to save face when being carried by a woman
"Be quiet! You have no right to bargain now. Best pray that you're not involved in this matter, otherwise, I'll peel your skin and extract your nerves," the girl coldly replied.
"That's too violent and bloody; it doesn't suit a lady like yourself!" Xiaoyao said while looking ahead.
"Less talk!!"
"You…"
"Shut up…" Xiaoyao was quickly brought to Fang Family Castle. If he hadn't been carried on the girl's shoulder, he would have studied the overall design of this castle.
This was a rare sight – it was likely the largest castle in the entire continent with most members of the Fang family living and training here their whole lives.
But at this moment, Xiaoyao could only take a quick glance before being led to an important place by the girl, one of the most critical places for the family – the Family Council Hall where everyone gathers regularly and acts as the command center in emergencies.
All core members of the Fang family were present here at this moment. The girl seemed to have the authority to lead Xiaoyao directly into the hall without obstruction; people showed her utmost respect instead.
Indeed, this girl's identity wasn't simple!
"What happened" Upon entering, she asked loudly.
"Lady, why are you dragging someone along with you" An elderly man surrounded by others looked at the girl.
Xiaoyao didn't know who this elder was, but from how these people around him acted and behaved, he guessed that this person held a very high status in the Fang family. It might even be one of the patriarchs!
But oddly enough, why did this elderly man call her 'Lady' Such terms didn't seem appropriate here.
This either meant that the elder was overly indulgent towards her or there were other reasons! Xiaoyao guessed it might be more likely due to indulgence.
"This person may be an accomplice of our enemy. Tell me, what happened" The girl answered and then continued asking.
"Someone tried to break into the Fang Family Library and steal martial arts manuals!" That elder replied in a somewhat indulgent tone but also with other emotions.s very significant.For in this great Tang Empire, within its capital city, there is a family named Yu. Although the core family members number only in the dozens, most of these individuals occupy crit...
