"Miss, could it be that you've developed feelings for Miss Suixin over time" Xianyao試探性地問道，提出了自己靈光一閃的想法。
"Get lost!" The Miss screamed back, "Even if the world were to collapse and only I and she remained, I would never fancy her!"
"That sounds familiar. In many novels, male and female protagonists often say such things at first they are enemies who cannot tolerate each other, but eventually fall deeply in love," Xianyao felt more and more that his guess was correct.
South Palace Suixin looked down upon both Xianyao and the Miss before saying, "Rest assured. Even if she likes me, I wouldn't fancy her. I'm a normal woman who fancies men, so maybe if you were a small servant like Xiaojiading instead of who you are now, I might give it some thought."
"There's no need to consider that; we're different in status!" Xianyao immediately said, patting Mao Mao’s neck and directing him towards the South Palace.
“Right, your status is indeed high…” South Palace Suixin grumbled.
“…” Xianyao fell silent. He wanted to say that his own status was ordinary while she was a Miss from an aristocratic family, but somehow it had turned into him having a high status instead.
"Miss Suixin, don't joke around. I'm just a servant boy, whereas you are the daughter of a distinguished family."
“Cut it out, who doesn’t know that you only pretend to be a lowly servant If you wanted to rise in status, you could easily do so; the Mo Family wouldn't chase you away. But I assume this is just an afterthought for you since your main reason is Guxing. Don't know if it's because of you, but Guxing has also become so down-to-earth that only a few people know about her true strength while others are clueless. Even Mo Yu hasn’t mentioned anything to the Mo Family.” At this point, South Palace Suixin looked at the Miss; although she wasn’t keen on talking about it, she believed that the Miss wouldn’t mind.
"Nope, they won't believe me anyway so there's no point telling them," The Miss answered.
“True. Even I wouldn’t believe if I didn’t know the facts. Guxing’s situation is too unique, it’s hard to accept,” South Palace Suixin nodded in agreement.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Xianyao, why aren't you asking us why we're here" The Third Miss of the South Palace knew that Xianyao might have already known why they were there, but she wanted to change the subject.
“I know; on my way here I heard about a military conference held by several empires and major kingdoms. Originally, I didn't know you all would be here too, but seeing you made me realize your reason for being here.” Xianyao replied.
"So it’s like that." The Third Miss nodded her head. "The last time in the palace we were together, and this time it's the same as well, is this due to fate connecting us all or just between you and one of us"
The Third Miss smiled slightly while jokingly asking; indeed, Xianyao had met them both intentionally and unintentionally throughout.
“Yes, I have some connection with you guys, mainly because of the Miss!” Xianyao nodded in agreement.
"Why is it because of her Does that mean we wouldn’t have any connection without her" South Palace Suixin said rather unhappily, while the Miss was quite pleased with what Xianyao had just said.
"Tell her the truth and let her know the harsh reality," The Miss responded arrogantly.
“Actually, we would have met without the Miss but it would only be as mere acquaintances. This you can understand yourself,” Xianyao shook his head helplessly; though he didn't want to admit it, this was a fact.
"Haha, now that you know, you should thank me. Without my existence, Xianyao wouldn’t be so familiar with you, and your status and strength wouldn’t have reached such heights. Therefore, I’m the one who’s saved you; show some respect in the future,” The Miss was determined to take full advantage of this situation and her tail almost touched the sky.
“Humph!” South Palace Suixin harrumphed unhappily.
"La la..." The Miss became even more smug.
"Mo Yu, you’ve had enough. If you continue like this I won’t let you enter my home!" South Palace Suixin was now enraged with embarrassment and anger.
“If I can't go in, then I won’t go in; what am I supposed to care about… alright, alright, I’ll stop talking and give way to you,” The Miss was initially disdainful but quickly changed her mind as she realized that if she didn’t come along with them now, she wouldn't be able to accompany Xianyao since he had plans to visit South Palace Suixin’s home.
Usually, the Miss and South Palace Suixin often acted like this due to reasons related to the Third Miss of the South Palace. South Palace Suixin also frequently threatened her with it; by now, the Miss was immune to such threats. She felt that if she didn’t go along now, she could still find a way to meet up with the Third Miss or secretly visit without getting South Palace Suixin's permission.
Everyone knew the Miss' identity and their relationship with the two sisters of the South Palace. When South Palace people saw her coming, they wouldn't stop them; even if South Palace Suixin ordered them to, subordinates would turn a blind eye.
Who didn’t know that these two were always quarreling but it was not an adversarial relationship and no one wanted to get involved between the two of them.
"Are you two flirting" Xianyao looked at the two and, after a long time, said something earth-shattering that made both of them immediately fall silent.
The silence was brief; soon enough, they burst out again. Each one gave him a slap on the head as if firing double shots to his brain!
"Ouch... it hurts...
The three girls simultaneously said, "You deserve it for talking nonsense!" However, their tones were slightly different. Miss Big Sister and Nan Gong Susan spoke with fury while the Third Miss of the Nan Gong family was smiling.
“I’m just asking a question; it’s not an established fact,” Xianyao rubbed his head and said weakly.
The two girls said at the same time, “Even asking is unacceptable!”
"Doesn’t it hurt" Third Miss of Nan Gong was helpless. She looked at the slightly swollen spot on Xianyao’s body; she really had hit hard this time.
“It hurts! You don’t know that they are female bullies and never use light hands. I will definitely tell my boss that you hit me!” Xianyao said seemingly displeased, but it was clear he wouldn't actually tell Guxing about this; the three girls knew this.
Xianyao would never cause any trouble for Guxing because of himself. Instead, he always helped Guxing solve problems. The girls were envious that they couldn’t find a servant like him.
Nan Gong Susan blamed her father for not picking up the little servant when she had the chance; how could someone else have picked him up instead!
"Haha, you won't," Third Miss of Nan Gong said with a smile. "Also, when you just mentioned an established fact, did that mean it’s not a settled matter but might become one in the future"
“Ah! You're so smart, look at them, they’re so stupid,” Xianyao said somewhat surprisedly. Third Miss of Nan Gong was too perceptive; she was leagues ahead of the other two, although the others were already much stronger than ordinary people.
Hmm Why do I feel a killing intent...
“Kid, who did you just call stupid”
Crap! He had forgotten this; he couldn’t say that in front of them because they were both violent.
"Bang!"
Xianyao was kicked away by the two Miss Big Sisters as soon as his thoughts ended, one foot from each!
“Heh…”
The Nan Gong family’s residence. This was the first time Xianyao had come here but he had already studied its layout and information beforehand, so it wasn’t completely unfamiliar to him; he quickly went over to the animal pen with Mao Mao.
Of course nobody stopped them. Even without Nan Gong Susan or her sister, they would still be allowed in because nobody knew who Xianyao was – this was his first time coming to the Nan Gong family of Qingyun City after all.
Nan Gong Susan wouldn’t give anyone a portrait of Xianyao either and she certainly wasn’t going to tell anyone that he had arrived; there was no need. If they weren’t here, Xianyao definitely wouldn’t have come back anyway and even if they were home, it didn’t mean Xianyao would.
If Xianyao hadn’t run out of accommodation this time, he probably wouldn’t be coming to the Nan Gong family either. He would choose to go where his own place was – that’s why he wasn’t bothered with moving around. Of course if Nan Gong Susan insisted, then he’d come too but it was clear she wouldn’t, and Third Miss of Nan Gong certainly wouldn’t.
Although she often joked around, sometimes even got irritated when Xianyao treated her unfairly, making him invite someone to their home was a bit much for her; after all, her skin wasn't as thick as that of the Big Sister’s.
Nan Gong Susan felt puzzled at this point. She hadn’t pointed the way but how did Xianyao know where he was going Could it be because he had come before
"Little servant, you seem to know my home very well; have you been here" Nan Gong Susan asked.
“No, but I’m aware of the layout of your house. Don’t ask me how, this isn't hard. I’ve stayed in Qingyun City for almost twenty years and there’s no place here that I don’t know.” Xianyao answered without intending to explain further.
Actually it wasn’t that he didn’t want to explain but the matter was difficult to explain; Xianyao knew all about the facilities of Qingyun City from accumulated information, and explaining how he had collected this would take a long time. He certainly couldn't be bothered with such things and neither would anyone else be interested in hearing it.
Perhaps Third Miss of Nan Gong might have some interest since she needed to organize intelligence; however Xianyao had written about this method in his military books which she must’ve read, so there was no need for him to explain it separately.
Nan Gong Susan didn’t care about this and just said "Oh" before leading Xianyao to her courtyard!
The courtyard of Nan Gong Susan was quite luxurious; both the garden and house were spacious, with beautiful landscaping that did befit a grand family.
As someone important in the Nan Gong clan, Nan Gong Susan’s treatment was already better than ordinary people's to begin with. Later when she achieved success on her own, it only got even better.
