Chapter 006: Things I Often Did in My Childhood [2]

However, within the Mo family, there are two individuals who have no thoughts whatsoever about the Longmen Competition. While others, even if unqualified, might indulge in some fantasies, these two have never done so.

"The Longmen Competition, I won't be participating in that..." said the young lady of the Mo family, waving her hand dismissively, appearing completely unconcerned. However, the young lady of the Nangong family did not notice this; otherwise, she certainly would not have remained so quiet before the Longmen Competition.

The Longmen Competition is an event that grants you greater martial prowess! This is a contest that must be fiercely contested, whether by individuals or noble families

"So boring, I might as well find a book to read and practice a bit, so I can become the overlord of Qingyun City as soon as possible!" said the bored young lady, yawning and tapping her small hand.

Furthermore, the restrictions of the library are not very stringent, but it is not accessible to just anyone; at least those of servant level (all of them) are not permitted to enter

At present, Xiaoyao is still a minor, and he has one to two years remaining until he reaches the age of majority

The experiences of predecessors are always the foundation for one to reach the pinnacle of success

It is difficult to comment on the character of this young lady from the Mo family; she is rather boring, yet also very uncontentious

Certainly, these books generally lack those top-tier aspects, with the exception of a small portion; however, they are fundamentally capable of maintaining a high standard, which is a strength they still possess

Do not assume that being struck by lightning will result in becoming a monstrous existence; some people remain the same. The Third Young Master is already quite fortunate, as he is at least no longer foolish.

The Dragon Gate Competition mentioned by Miss Nangong is an important selection event held once every three years in the Kingdom of Tianfeng. Its purpose is to select elite talents from the country. In simple terms, it is akin to a martial arts imperial examination.

The young lady of the Mo family arrived at the Mo family's foundry in search of Xiaoyao. However, it seemed that Xiaoyao was unaware of where he was working. During this time, the young lady had also become accustomed to searching for Xiaoyao by visiting various places.

Although the Mo family is known for their metal casting, their collection of books encompasses far more than just metalwork. It nearly includes all aspects of knowledge that can be found in this world. After all, this family has been passed down for so many years, making it relatively easy for them to gather such a vast array of works

Where is that rascal Xiaoyao

... ... ''

Generally, minors are classified among the lower-ranking servants and cannot be promoted in status, unless they are special cases, such as personal attendants or close maids.

Everyone fell silent, feeling that Xiaoyao was indeed quite shameless, completely shirking responsibility. However, it must be said that what he mentioned seemed to be the truth.

If this is not a matter of being carefree and unconcerned, and if one wishes to maintain a low profile, then there must certainly be some hidden agenda involved. However, the young lady did not pay attention to this; she merely spoke casually.

Thank you for your concern, elder sister; I understand the boundaries!" replied the Third Young Master, continuing to gaze at the secret manual—books on martial arts and techniques.

Ah, Third Brother, you are reading here today. You must study hard and put in more effort

After being struck by lightning, the third young master who survived the calamity became smarter, but only relatively so. His innate talent is not particularly exceptional, and he cannot even be considered outstanding. Coupled with the fact that he has fallen behind everyone for so long, it has become even more difficult for him to catch up.

In response to this, the young lady of the Mo family was quite displeased and planned to settle the score with Xiaoyao later. However, for now, she was still in the Golden Jade Hall, continuing to drink. She would not allow anyone to disturb her mood for drinking

In someone's words, if this excessive training continues, the Third Young Master may revert back in the future, and it could become even more severe

Even so, there are still many people who want to do this fish, and it is not easy at all

Listening to what the young lady said, it seems that the third young master is engaging in some activities that he is forcing himself to do. What could this be?

Fish are as numerous as the carps crossing the river, countless in number, yet this dragon is but a small fraction of that...

The reason she cultivates is merely to facilitate her unrestrained actions even further

As the young lady departed, everyone felt a sense of relief, for they were all afraid that she might suddenly take a whim and find something for herself to do, and what was most frightening was that these tasks were often quite troublesome

The realization of dreams, or the beginning of dreams

During this period, the reason why the Third Young Master has been so silent, to the extent that people have almost forgotten the commotion he previously caused, is that he has been diligently cultivating. In order not to disappoint his parents' expectations, he has been training beyond his limits

Originally, these tasks could have been assigned to the servants; however, the young lady found it more interesting to do them herself, as it allowed her to pass the time, which suited her rather tedious personality

Upon entering the library, the young lady saw her third brother, whom she had not seen for a long time, the very one who had been struck by lightning and was once the foolish third young master.

This is also one of the important ways for many families to accumulate martial arts heritage. For families like the Mo family, which specializes in casting, the Longmen Competition is regarded with even greater importance, as a significant portion of their martial arts techniques and skills originates from this competition.

What fire? What are we looking at? Is it the steelmaking furnace?

In this world, absolute force may not be necessary, but the absence of any force is unacceptable; otherwise, it signifies that you can be easily victimized by others

First of all, the young lady only thinks of Xiaoyao when she is bored. Secondly, the matters concerning Xiaoyao that the young lady brings up are not regarded as important, as if she does not truly value the feelings associated with Xiaoyao.

They will not perceive that the young lady seeking out Xiaoyao is a benefit for him, as it could elevate his status within the Mo family, nor will they think that Xiaoyao is merely clinging to the young lady's ship.

This is equally enticing for a martial arts family like the Nangong family, not only because they are not among the top martial arts families, but more so because they wish to learn new things

This has also greatly benefited certain individuals

The martial arts examination is not merely about selecting the champion; it also determines who is eligible for higher levels of cultivation, as the victors are granted the opportunity to enter the continent's top sects and academies

It is precisely for this reason that many families, which are already not inferior to those sects or academies in martial arts, also desire this opportunity. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of achieving excellence in the martial arts imperial examination

"Elder sister, I will do my best," the Third Young Master nodded and replied earnestly. He then glanced at the Young Lady to greet her before returning his full attention to the book in his hands

At that time, Xiaoyao was already helping at the mining site

For Xiaoyao, being sought after by the young lady was quite a troublesome matter, as it implied that he would have to undertake two tasks. This made him somewhat inclined to avoid the young lady. However, his awareness as a lowly servant generally rendered him unable to refuse or evade such responsibilities

Becoming the overlord of Qingyun City is currently the most ambitious goal of the young lady

Knowing the limits is nonsense, don't think I am unaware of your situation! Listen to me, don't push yourself too hard! Uncle and Aunt are truly insane; knowing your condition, they still want you to participate in the Longmen Competition, and this session at that. Given your situation, it would be difficult even in the next session, let alone now!" The young lady spoke very directly, not feeling that these words needed to be more tactful, especially regarding her uncle and aunt's evaluation.

Very well, I will take a look at this book and then leave. You do not need to pay any attention to me! Third brother, some matters should not be forced; otherwise, things will only backfire." The young lady looked at the third young master and said directly.

The wish of the young lady from the Mo family is to muddle through in this small piece of land belonging to the Mo family, until death. She has never thought about going out, nor has she ever aspired to achieve greatness.

Of course, there are times when the young lady also feels annoyed, wanting to have Xiaoyao as her attendant, to elevate Xiaoyao's status from that of a lowly servant.

Understood! This fellow has run off somewhere again, really. I asked him to be my attendant, but he is unwilling!

However, this kind of luck does not seem to satisfy the parents of the Third Young Master. They have high expectations for their son and set lofty goals for him, which has significantly increased his pressure. He can only strive, strive, and strive again

... ... ''

After all, the age of carefree youth is still young; as levels increase, it may lead to some people's dissatisfaction

The fish leaps over the dragon gate, transforming into a dragon; its worth increases a hundredfold

Everyone basically knows where the young lady is going, as the types of books she can read are quite limited. There is only one place in the Mo family where such books can be found, and that is the Mo family's library.

Miss Gui, Xiaoyao is not here today; you might want to look elsewhere

In fact, the matter is as follows

... ... ''

However, it seems that Xiaoyao is not interested in this matter, and even rejected the proposal to promote the servant's rank, which is something that the servants of the Mo family absolutely look forward to

One of them is this young lady before us

Several days later, after the incident, Miss Mo finally remembered the matter of Xiaoyao. When she inquired about the reason, Xiaoyao's response was that he still needed to go back to tend to the fire, stating that he had no time to waste here

Rest assured, we will meet, right at this year's Longmen Competition!" Miss Nangong left these words and then turned to leave, taking her unwilling fourth brother with her

Raising the rank of a servant means promotion and salary increase, which is something that absolutely no one would refuse

At this moment, Miss Mo did not care whether Miss Nangong had heard or not, and was preparing to praise Xiaoyao a few times. However, she soon realized that Xiaoyao had already completed his task and withdrawn, having left without her "permission".

It is unclear whether this is related to the personalities of the two individuals, leading one to feel that it is unimportant, or if it is indeed not significant in itself

This is a dream for many people

Indeed, if you seek revenge, come to me, my dear aunt! The young lady of the Mo family said earnestly, proudly pointing to herself with her thumb, her exquisitely beautiful little face slightly tilted upwards.
