"Boss, take care of yourself. If you have the chance, write down all the secret manuals and find the design plans for this place if there are any." Xianyao said; he knew that this matter couldn't be known by others since it would be considered espionage.
Although Xianyao only wanted to refer to them for learning purposes and not to cause destruction, that didn’t mean people would allow him to do so either.
"Alright, I understand!" Guxing nodded her head. She did not mind doing this kind of thing for Xianyao.
"For now, we can't find a good monster beast, so let’s use the pair of message eagles from before. Once I find better ones, I'll replace them." Xianyao said; ordinary people still preferred message eagles as their means of communication because they were affordable.
"Alright," Guxing nodded her head obediently.
"I’ll leave first then. Take care of yourself and if someone tries to bully you, teach them a lesson or kill them. Also, if you can’t handle staying there anymore, just come out; this isn't your only option." Xianyao instructed Guxing lastly. He was worried that Guxing would stick to her principles and suffer for it.
Fortunately, no one else overheard what he said, or they would have been speechless. How did she even handle things like this Aren't you just encouraging chaos by teaching her so
A Saint Realm powerhouse; how many people in the Fengpu Family dared to provoke him Even the elders of the Fengpu Family had to weigh their options before taking action.
However, Guxing’s strength was only discovered much later on. By then, she wasn’t just a newly-minted Saint Realm powerhouse but had advanced further.
After Xianyao finished speaking with Guxing, he went to find another person and asked him to pass a message to Niu Jian inside, warning him about those around him.
Why did Xianyao give such a message to Niu Jian
In reality, Xianyao was basically certain that the Fox of Heart Moon and those who wanted to kill him were likely someone near Niu Jian or even someone close to Yinyinxi.
Other than Li Yihun’s group, the only other people who passed by his side at that time were Niu Jian’s team. If it was Li Yihun, they would have dealt with him earlier on; don’t forget that Xianyao and his companion had traveled together with Li Yihun for several days in the beginning.
Therefore, the possibility of Li Yihun's group doing this was very small. On the contrary, Niu Jian’s team had a huge chance since Fox of Heart Moon appeared after they met Xianyao.
Plus, Niu Jian and his teammates were just at that inn back then too; thus, the probability was even higher.
Xianyao didn’t bother to confirm this. It wasn’t his business anyway; warning Niu Jian had already gone beyond what he owed him, so it was up to him whether or not he would listen.
Unbeknownst to Xianyao, the reminder he gave Niu Jian ended up doing him a great favor, one that he would be grateful for his entire life.
Xianyao’s guess wasn’t wrong; the person was indeed someone from Niu Jian's team who wanted to deal with Yinyinxi and her family. Xianyao didn't know what happened between them but later on, Niu Jian said it was a common familial conflict within their clan.
Of course, the process wasn’t so ordinary; Niu Jian got involved in it and had to go through hardships together with Yinyinxi. That period of time was when he missed her most, as that was when she started to take him seriously. Then, true feelings came out during those hard times.
It seemed like there were legendary stories behind this; some sort of miraculous encounter happened where Niu Jian became a powerhouse and turned the tables around. He then became a hero for Yinyinxi.
Xianyao also wasn’t clear about the specific details, but that was how things went anyway; it had nothing to do with him at all. The only impact this had on him would be that he met Fox of Heart Moon.
Fox of Heart Moon didn't seem to participate in Yinyinxi's family conflict for too long either; she did a few things and then left without any intention of continuing, leaving very straightforwardly.
In fact, the other side wasn’t that eager to keep her at that time. Everything was going smoothly; they had basically settled everything already when an unforeseen change occurred — Niu Jian’s existence.
That was Niu Jian's story, which didn't have much intersection with Xianyao’s life, so there was no need for him to listen to it in detail.
However, from this event, Xianyao learned something about Guxing; the other person hadn’t bothered her anymore, probably because of Fox of Heart Moon and also due to lack of time on his side to deal with her.
Two months later, in the Azure Dragon Empire’s capital city, Azure Dragon City. Xianyao was now standing on the streets of Azure Dragon City.
Indeed, this Azure Dragon Empire was the only empire within this land, and it was also the strongest nation here without any doubt!
Azure Dragon City was the heart of the Azure Dragon Empire; it was the center of the Azure Dragon Empire and truly the center of the world. Of course, that didn’t refer to its geographical location but rather how important it was.
The reason for Xiaoyao's choice is very simple. He wants to understand this land, and the best place to do that is right here. If he wants to get the best things, it’s also easiest here. The place with the most martial arts classics is also here.
This is definitely Xiaoyao's top priority. With such a choice, why would he still choose some great country or powerful force Now isn’t about being low-profile; even if it were, entering here can still be done in a low-key manner.
There are so many people in Qinglong City, and who knows how many common folk there are. They have always been very low-key, and Xiaoyao's choice is also quite low-key.
Currently, Xiaoyao wants to enter a force to do some menial work, thereby discreetly coming into contact with more things. Naturally, Qinglong City is the best choice.
This is the result of Xiaoyao's careful deliberation. The forces he needs to choose cannot be those hidden from the world or in deep mountains because that way, he wouldn’t be able to obtain more intelligence information. He’s here looking for someone, so naturally, he should choose places with a lot of people coming and going. It would be best if it were the political and cultural center of a country, usually its capital.
Therefore, Xiaoyao can only choose family-type forces or government!
No matter whether choosing families or government, he must choose the best place. The imperial city of the sole empire on this land is undoubtedly the best place; it’s almost a no-brainer.
The next step is to make his choice. Although government can have access to all resources in the country, not everyone can obtain them. This requires rank and position. Clearly, even if Xiaoyao were to become an official right away, he would need several years before he could get these resources, and this is assuming it’s within a system he desires.
If he wants intelligence systems but gets assigned to agricultural ones, that would be wasted effort.
And even if he can do government work, clearly he can’t right now. Joining the military could also be a good option, but armies are usually strict and it’s not easy to get into intelligence systems either. Therefore, this idea is basically off the table.
Unless Xiaoyao can climb onto someone with real power, perhaps there would still be an opportunity, but this probability is also quite low.
Hence, Xiaoyao can only choose to enter a family and do his old job—being a household servant!!
In general, the intelligence system of families wouldn’t be too weak for him; it’s sufficient. And family intelligence is relatively easy to get in touch with, something Xiaoyao is quite familiar with.
He should choose a large family, not necessarily the strongest one, but definitely those who are quite gossipy—no, it's better if they have wide social circles...
Of course, this also depends on his choices. Now, Xiaoyao wants to choose others who might not let him in either way. Thus, as long as there’s something suitable, Xiaoyao would immediately jump into it; time is the most important factor.
After all, what Xiaoyao needs isn't top-secret information but merely ordinary intelligence that this family can provide.
If not, he could enter the palace to work, getting close to the imperial family might be the easiest way to contact high-level secrets. But there’s too much scheming and intrigue in the palace, perhaps wasting time here, which Xiaoyao doesn’t find worthwhile.
There is also scheming within families, but if one stays at a lower level, they generally won't get involved!
In the end, Xiaoyao is more familiar with being a household servant. It’s better to do what you’re good at...
To look around and see which family needs someone; in reality, all families surviving here are not simple characters but can meet Xiaoyao's requirements.
On one street, there was a group of people gathered together. They seemed idle with nothing to do, chatting about topics without much substance, yet they were actually waiting for work. Occasionally, some bosses would come here to find workers or temporary workers.
This is the famous talent market in Qinglong City; yes, all kinds of people can be found here, from craftsmen to bodyguards, from scribes to pharmacists and so on. Here one encounters various types of people, ranging from those with superficial skills to genuine professionals.
Among these, some are specifically doing temporary work, frequently changing employers; they know a lot of things. Occasionally, important secrets come out here, but very quickly such secrets become common knowledge.
Idle people can be frightening as they talk about any topic and have strong gossipy capabilities whether male or female.
After staying around for some time, Xiaoyao had an idea. Should he also become a temporary worker This seems like it could gather more comprehensive information.
But after careful thought, Xiaoyao decided long-term employment was better. Only this way can one deeply understand things. Although temporary workers have a wide range of contacts, such information is easy to obtain through inquiry because they generally only come into contact with surface-level stuff.
Furthermore, even if it were long-term employment, he could also take on part-time jobs during spare time, utilizing free time in the same way. There’s no need to specialize solely as a temporary worker.
Soon enough, Xiaoyao blended into this group and chatted well with others here. He was quite adept at it; he could quickly establish relationships with people and thus extract information he wanted to know. This wasn’t his first time doing such things either; even if dealing with those more cautious individuals, he could still do so effectively, let alone these people who had no caution whatsoever.truments; they belong to me now! And yes, I heard what you said, but if I can buy something with these coins, why would I want to do something troublesome"“…” The old man fell silent. Indeed, problems...
