assle for you, but benefits to me! Alright, let's negotiate conditions, or you propose one, and I'll see if I can fulfill it for you!" Le Yuran paused, trying to negotiate with Daoist逍遙. Currently, sh...Chapter 349: Decision to Departure Part 1

In the South Palace family, while Xianyao and others were discussing...

"I want to go too!"

"Boss, please don't make things difficult..."

Xianyao didn’t expect that in the discussion, not only did these women not reduce their numbers but another one joined them – Lone Star!

"I won’t cause trouble for you; I can protect you. My martial arts strength is higher than yours!" Lone Star shook her head and said very naturally, without worrying about offending Xianyao as it was a fact, and Xianyao didn't mind this statement.

The higher Lone Star's achievements were, the happier Xianyao would feel!

"That’s right. More people means more support. We have three Imperial martial artists here altogether; protecting such a small household servant like you should make you feel honored." The Miss said directly at this moment and felt somewhat disdainful towards Xianyao, as she could completely look down on him in terms of strength without any pretense.

"Cough cough..." That old man coughed several times, reminding the Miss that there was another Imperial martial artist here.

"With three Imperial martial artists, this team is very powerful; it shouldn't have any problems. Let's go then!" Xianyao frowned and finally nodded.

He knew these women were all very determined people who wouldn’t change once they decided to do something, as evident from their previous records.

The most important thing was that according to the demonic sect’s family record, going to a martial arts holy land could be self-protected with an Imperial level; thus, them going over there shouldn't have too much danger as long as he himself was careful enough.

Also, just like what Miss said, this was also a chance encounter. If successful, their cultivation might make a leap forward, indeed something that couldn’t be missed.

The danger though unknown, but life always needed some risks; as martial artists, they wouldn't mind taking risks either. Xianyao himself could understand this point too.

The only trouble was the third Miss of South Palace, who didn't need to take any risks. Xianyao wasn’t very hopeful about her going but it seemed he couldn't persuade her anyway. Moreover, it was something that a sister should do; if even Gong Suixin couldn’t persuade her, there wasn’t much else to say.

In the end, Gong Suixin’s persuasion didn’t work, and Xianyao could only take four girls to the martial arts holy land to explore unknown mysteries and face the unknown adventure.

"Alright, let's settle on that. When are we leaving" Miss seemed afraid of Xianyao reneging and said immediately.

"Of course as early as possible; I’ve already prepared everything. Call for a larger carriage and we’ll secretly depart; it’s unlikely anyone will track three Imperial martial artists." Xianyao counted the items he had bought, doing final checks.

“It's four...” The old man reminded him not to ignore Old Man, as even though he might be weaker than these girls, he was still a seasoned Imperial martial artist.

"Oh, four!" Xianyao nodded. "I almost forgot about you, Old Man."

“…”

You didn’t nearly forget; you simply didn't put me in your consideration...

"I'll prepare the carriage. When are we leaving" The third Miss of South Palace immediately went to prepare the carriage, as these things had always been handled by her. It was impossible for Miss to do it herself and even though she asked Gong Suixin sometimes, when Gong Suixin was busy, gradually it became a habit for only the third Miss to take on.

"We’ll depart once everything is ready." Xianyao casually said.

The third Miss of South Palace stopped and turned around, somewhat puzzledly asking, "Are you saying we will leave immediately" She obviously hadn’t considered leaving right away; neither had everyone else here thought about it.

Although they all knew that this matter would be urgent but at least everyone assumed the journey would start tomorrow. At least one night of preparation was necessary psychologically too.

"Of course, once everything is ready we'll leave immediately; what are we waiting for here I’ll drive the carriage and you sleep in the compartment. Old Man will naturally sit upfront with me." Xianyao nodded and started making some packages that they would have to carry on their backs as the carriage was only temporary.

Alright, being a man is inconvenient; not much outside anyway, for the sake of going to martial arts holy land I’ll endure. Besides, those few girls inside are no simpletons, all stronger than this old man; so this position can be accepted too.

"Driving the carriage won't it tire you I'll ask someone else." The third Miss said but quickly realized how silly her words were because they needed to keep it secret and couldn’t let others join.

“Alright, I’m just stupid. I’ll find a good carriage.”

"Ugh!" Xianyao could only nod.

“What are you saying 'ugh' for Am I very stupid”

The third Miss of South Palace threw something over, hitting Xianyao on the head...

Luckily, it was just a sachet!

"Did I just say something..." Xianyao innocently said, preparing to return the sachet to Lady Nan Gong's Third Miss, but soon realized that it wasn't necessary.

"The sachet was made by my third sister for you. It has your name on it; don’t be surprised, we all have one." Nan Gong Susu said at this time and took out a similar-style sachet, the only difference being the embroidered names were slightly different.

"I see, Miss Third's embroidery skills are quite good, and the contents inside are also pretty nice." Xianyao smiled as he casually tucked the sachet into his pocket before continuing with what he was doing.

"Moyu, aren’t you jealous" Nan Gong Susu asked the eldest miss beside her.

"Jealous Jealous of what" The eldest miss replied in puzzlement.

"Third Miss giving a sachet to that small servant boy." Nan Gong Susu said. Although she didn't think her third sister had any feelings for Xianyao, it was just something she did out of kindness.

"I have one too," the eldest miss replied, "What’s there to be jealous about"

"But we are all women and he is a man. A girl giving a sachet, an intimate item, to a boy, that's quite extraordinary." Nan Gong Susu said with a smile, seemingly trying to provoke the eldest miss’s jealousy or perhaps just curious about her reaction.

"I would be jealous of others but Xianyao is my brother. What am I supposed to be jealous of If Su Su likes him, brothers are like arms and legs; women are like clothing! Let him have it!" The eldest miss said very generously, which left Nan Gong Susu a bit taken aback.

"However, I believe that Su Su actually likes me. She’s just giving Xianyao something because of our relationship, out of love for the house," the eldest miss continued, which was somewhat narcissistic and self-confident.

“…” Nan Gong Susu decided to ignore the eldest miss and help Xianyao do some work instead. However, she found that she couldn't be much help, which felt rather ironic.

What is Xianyao doing now

Nan Gong Susu was a bit unclear. She only saw him cutting up the cowhide he had acquired and sewing things but hadn’t figured out what exactly he was making yet.

"Xianyao, what are you making" The eldest miss asked as she squatted beside Xianyao.

"Making a few large backpacks. Everyone will carry one to separate these items. That way, even if we’re in the wild and can’t find anything to eat, we’ll still be able to survive for some time." As he cut the cowhide, Xianyao explained.

“So that’s what you are making It's quite necessary, but why don't you just buy one instead of making it yourself. That would save a lot of trouble.” The eldest miss knew this was essential but wondered why Xianyao didn’t simply purchase one.

"The ones available for purchase aren't designed well and can't separate items effectively or allow for easy access to any item at any time." Xianyao replied, "Making my own is better, more reliable in quality and durability. Plus, it won't take too long."

“Alright, do you need help then” the eldest miss asked, though she felt that he wouldn’t need assistance as making it himself would likely be quicker.

Indeed, the eldest miss heard Xianyao’s indifferent refusal:

"No thanks. I can handle this myself. This is something I’m familiar with and I don't want you to do it since you’re beginners."

"I know that! But I was just asking!" The eldest miss replied.

“…”

When Miss Third had finished preparing the carriage, Xianyao had already made a backpack and packed some things into it. Then he asked the eldest miss to take them up in the carriage while the rest was loaded by servants.

Afterwards, Xianyao instructed the old man to drive off with the cart as he continued making cowhide backpacks beside him.

Sigh, driving a cart What complaints could there be! Only I know that place; naturally, it’s me leading the way!

The old man comforted himself and gladly accepted this honorable position!

At least, I still have someone to keep me company. The old man was comforting himself when he quickly realized that this situation might change.

"Xianyao, come in. We're not naked, there's nothing inconvenient about you being here!" The eldest miss suddenly thought of something and called out to Xianyao.

“Oh, understood.” Xianyao nodded, bid farewell to the old man before entering the carriage, leaving the old man outside wanting to cry with frustration.

This boy has no conscience at all. He prefers women... No, he prefers youth...

No, he doesn’t respect me at all!!

"Xianyao, you haven't told us about your background yet and why it's related to the martial arts holy land now," The eldest miss sat beside Xianyao while watching his busy hands, suddenly recalling this important matter. They only knew they were heading for the martial arts holy land and that there was a change in Xianyao’s lineage but didn’t know how these were connected.

"You remember what the old man said earlier about two young men and women emerging from the martial arts holy land Coincidentally, this couple appeared at the small village..." Xianyao started recounting as he continued his sewing work. (To be continued)e person who escorted them away If both are peak Imperial Realm, how could they be taken so easily Was it voluntary" Handing back the scroll to the old man, Xiaoyao asked further.The portrait's detail...
