Chapter 3: Miss Xiao
Xiao Yilin felt her face flush slightly upon hearing Xu Feng's words. Usually, when speaking with the servants, she was always careful, listening attentively for fear of missing something. Yet, this fellow had the audacity to openly express that he had not heard her words.
A traditionally weak servant, how could he possibly become strong? The only option left is to escape. Although Xiao Yilin was furious that Xu Feng had been spying, she did not want Xu Feng to lose his life just like that
A mere servant actually dares to fantasize about eating swan meat. Truly shameless
Quietly following behind Xiao Yilin, he remained utterly silent all the way. Xu Feng gazed at her graceful figure, finding it pleasing to the eye, and did not feel annoyed at all.
Seeing Xu Feng's demeanor, Xiao Yilin realized that he had not taken her words to heart. Xiao Yilin couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed, thinking that this servant was truly ungrateful
The little girl revealed a faint smile and shook her head, saying, "No."
A servant is merely a servant, of lowly status, a useless person, yet he dares to provoke those young masters and ladies, truly reckless.
Before Xu Feng could finish speaking, a woman rushed over, quickly embracing the little girl. With a vigilant and angry glare at Xu Feng, she said: "You little brat, why did you touch my daughter? If she goes astray, it must be your influence."
Xiao Yilin said: "Yes! But it is impossible for you. Unless you become a strong person, even the powerful Li Hexuan would not dare to take action against you"
Xu Feng shook his head, yet he could still hear the mocking voices ringing in his ears. However, he did not care to argue with these servants. He walked away, but deep down, he always felt a sense of rejection and unfamiliarity in this inexplicably arrived world
"You follow me," said Xiao Yilin, looking at the boy in front of her who was about the same age but appeared pale and frail. She took the lead and stepped out of the courtyard.
Xu Feng paid no attention to the woman and turned to leave the Xiao residence. His frail figure appeared even more emaciated as he passed through the wide gates of the Xiao family
A young girl's heart is always easily touched
However, regarding these matters, it is not as if one deserves to be struck by lightning as punishment. Moreover, Xu Feng believes that his appearance and character are certainly not the type to warrant such a fate
Looking at the woman in front of him, it was evident that she was also a servant of the Xiao family. Xu Feng did not expect that after just helping her, this woman would be so unreasonable.
Just as the little girl was preparing to stand up strong, she found herself being helped up by a pair of hands. The hands brushed off the dust from her, and as they gently rubbed her feet, they asked, "Did you hurt yourself when you fell?"
Xu Feng knew from his memories of his past life who this woman was, Xiao Lin's cousin Xiao Yilin, the second young lady of the Xiao family
"Brother, your hand is bleeding," the little girl exclaimed in shock upon seeing the blood on Xu Feng's hand
Xu Feng's neither servile nor overbearing address caused Xiao Yilin to pause slightly. Among all the servants, there had yet to be anyone who did not address her with respect
The little girl rubbed her foot, tears sparkling in her eyes, clearly in pain from a fall. She looked towards some servants, but saw that they showed no concern for her at all
"Wait a moment." Xiao Yilin finally couldn't hold back and called out to Xu Feng's back.
Oh dear
Not far behind Xu Feng stood a girl, her purpose unknown. She was around sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, dressed in a plaid long dress, exuding a fresh and refined beauty, serene and pure, with astonishing charm. Particularly striking were her eyebrows, fine and straight, naturally shaped without any deliberate grooming, yet remarkably even. Her eyes were long and enchanting, radiating a shimmering luster, so clear that one dared not gaze directly at them
Xu Feng snorted, just about to vent his frustration. However, upon seeing the little girl looking at him with a pitiful expression, he ultimately restrained his temper. Although he was not a good person, he did not want to frighten the child.
I said, if you want to save your life, you should hurry and escape. You are no match for Li Hexuan. Although Li Hexuan appears charming on the outside, he is extremely dark-hearted within. " Xiao Yilin repeated.
Xiao Yilin, who originally intended to help the little girl, thought to herself that this servant was actually quite good, even taking the task of tying shoelaces so seriously
Everyone looked at Xiao Yilin's actions with a gloating expression, thinking that the second young lady could not stand this fellow either, and it was likely that she was going to deal with him.
As soon as Xu Feng left the hall, he heard whispers around him. Listening to these murmurs, Xu Feng felt a bitterness in his heart. He thought to himself that he hadn't committed any grave sins in his past life. Was it not just mingling in the world of flowers and pleasures, secretly watching the neighbor's sister bathe when he was young, and occasionally feeling displeased and deflating someone else's car tires
"If you don't want to be dealt with by Li Hexuan, you can only keep getting stronger. Or escape immediately." Xiao Yilin, who had been walking ahead, suddenly turned her head and said this.
Xu Feng suddenly felt that the first thing he needed to do was to become a Xuan practitioner, as only by becoming one could he change his current situation. Most importantly, Li Hexuan and Li Wei, just as Xiao Yilin had said, would absolutely not let him off.
Damn it, how could I possibly be struck by lightning? With my character, it makes no sense at all. Xu Feng cursed inwardly.
... ... ''
After a group of servants had just mocked Xu Fengyan, upon seeing a figure, they quickly bowed and fell silent.
Gazing at the blood seeping from his hand, Xu Feng could only let out a soft grunt, unable to find an outlet for his frustration, and continued walking forward. Noticing the disdainful and contemptuous looks from the other servants who were in the same position as him, Xu Feng shook his head, thinking to himself that his predecessor had truly failed in life.
It is precisely that, and moreover, he is a useless person who has not even cultivated any profound skills. How dare he go and spy
Just as they reached the entrance of the Xiao residence, a clear and bright voice rang out. Everyone turned to look, and they saw a little girl who had fallen to the ground on the steps of the entrance, with the shoelace of her right shoe scattered on the ground. It was likely that she had just stepped on her own shoelace, which caused her to fall.
Hmph! You deserve to die!
Xiao Yilin, seeing that her good intentions were not reciprocated, huffed and turned to leave
The girl watched Xu Feng's back, recalling the scene where he had just pushed someone down, as well as the mocking words from the crowd that she had overheard. As the second young lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Yilin had no fondness for a servant who dared to spy on women. However, seeing the blood seeping from Xu Feng's hand and dripping onto the ground, staining a small patch of dirt, along with the words that had just reached her ears, she couldn't help but feel pity for this frail and thin boy. Staring at Xu Feng's lonely figure, she ultimately did not go to stop him.
"Escape?" Xu Feng chuckled, "Is there another way?"
Accompanied by a roar, Xu Feng's shoulder was forcefully pushed, causing the distracted Xu Feng to fall to the ground. His hand scraped against the gravel, resulting in a skin abrasion that oozed blood. The pain in his hand made Xu Feng look up and glare at the person who had just pushed him, only to find that the individual had already entered the hall and vanished from sight
Ah! Xu Feng's gaze shifted away from Xiao Yilin's curvaceous hips, and he thought to himself how close he had come to being discovered. He truly did not expect that women in this world developed so well. "Second Miss, what did you say?"
However, this is not surprising. From the memories of his predecessor, Xu Feng is well aware of the other party's character, which is entirely timid and fearful, someone who is easily bullied. Usually among the servants, he is the one who can be bullied by anyone, a scapegoat who does not dare to resist and is forced to do the most exhausting and dirtiest tasks. Moreover, his cultivation has not even broken through to the first rank, which makes these servants regard him as less than human. In this world, strength is paramount; being not even a first-rank practitioner, it is no wonder he is treated like a pig or a dog.
Seeing Xiao Yilin leave, Xu Feng shook his head: "It seems I need to find a way to get through this difficult situation. A tiger falling to the ground is bullied by dogs. If I have become a rogue, then so be it. But at the very least, I need to complete the entire set of procedures for being a rogue. However, I have only completed the visual part, while the action and physical strength parts remain unfinished. What a failure..."
Miss Second
Xu Feng looked at the slightly pale little girl in front of him, smiled gently, crouched down, and helped her tie her shoelaces. He then carefully checked them and said, "Alright, be careful when walking in the future"
"Oh, Xuan practitioner, I do not possess any cultivation methods. How can I become a Xuan practitioner?" Xu Feng felt a severe headache.
Recalling the bizarre scene when he was struck, Xu Feng couldn't help but think of Lin Xi. He remembered that at that time, Lin Xi was quite far away from him, which gave Xu Feng a slight sense of relief, as he believed Lin Xi should still be safe.
Xu Feng patted the little girl's head and smiled, saying, "I accidentally hurt you just now..."
Tsk tsk, but the skin is quite thick; surprisingly, after being beaten up, it didn't die.
Move aside
Miss Er! Xu Feng looked at Xiao Yilin with confusion, not knowing why she had called out to him
Is this kid out of his mind? He used to be incredibly weak, so how dare he go spying this time
"Serves you right! Damn it, even daring to sneak a look at the guests invited by the young master." A house servant spoke with a tone filled with intense jealousy. It is no wonder, considering the beauty of Xia Feixuan, how could that man not be jealous?
Thank you, Miss Er. Xu Feng smiled slightly, showing no fear of Li Hexuan. Having lived two lives, he possessed his own pride. There was no possibility that he would be frightened into fleeing by a mere statement
Xiao Yilin watched this scene with her own eyes, her gaze fixed on the lonely figure, and suddenly felt a sense of unease in her heart, as if this housekeeper were incompatible with the world.
Xu Feng heard a clear and charming voice behind him and turned to look. The girl's eyes were bright and deep, with a flush on her cheeks, exuding an alluring aura. Even from a distance, seeing her suddenly still made one's heart race. Although she was still young, she had already begun to display a bewitching demeanor.
