"You're too late. I've already sent that contract to my Young Miss via messenger eagle. If you want it, wait until she comes here and ask her for it." Xiaoyao waved his hand. Earlier, one of the Young Miss's messenger eagles happened to come by, so he conveniently gave the contract to the Young Miss and wrote out the situation.

"Who is your Young Miss? When will she come?" Captain Li asked.

"Brother Li, this kid is lying. There's no Young Miss, he's just stalling for time." Master Wang immediately said. He didn't believe Xiaoyao's statement like Captain Li might.

"I'm not stalling for time. My Young Miss exists. She's currently at White Deer Academy. You can go find her when you have time. She's easy to recognize, just ask who's most domineering, most shameless, and has special hobbies. Whoever fits all three is definitely her." Xiaoyao said casually. If the Young Miss heard this, she would definitely scold him, though she would only object to being called shameless, she'd accept the other two qualities.

White Deer Academy? Must be a disciple without much background, nothing to worry about. Hearing Xiaoyao say this, Master Wang believed there really was such a Young Miss, but he didn't think she was particularly powerful. White Deer Academy was somewhere anyone could enter as long as they had money.

But those who entered were generally very ordinary disciples without much ability. Only powerful disciples would receive attention and enjoy some sect privileges.

Therefore, even though White Deer Academy was one of the super sects, Master Wang wasn't concerned. He wasn't afraid of ordinary disciples, he also had status and position.

Even relatively important disciples needn't be worried about. At least he had the ability to fight, and for Yihong Courtyard, he was willing to take that risk.

...

"Are you planning to put things with your Young Miss to seek White Deer Academy's protection?" Master Wang suddenly thought of something, if the other party was a White Deer Academy disciple, as long as they stayed at White Deer Academy, no one outside would dare make a move. He couldn't possibly reach them.

"No need. My Young Miss is very strong, you people aren't enough to worry about." Xiaoyao said with a smile. This was fact, even if there were some Emperor Level martial artists here, at most there might be Saint Level ones, which would only be the same level as the Young Miss. And the Young Miss had Nangong Suxin beside her, they would definitely be together.

"Really? Then call her over!" Master Wang said. Once she comes, I'll immediately show you what's what.

"Sorry, my Young Miss is still cultivating. She'll come when her cultivation ends." Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"When will her cultivation end?" Master Wang asked again, just asking casually.

"When she reaches God Level, her cultivation will be about finished." Xiaoyao thought and said.

"Pfft..."

Some courtesans who were drinking immediately spat out their drinks after hearing Xiaoyao's words. They hadn't expected Xiaoyao to make up such nonsense. If you were going to lie, you should say something more ordinary, Emperor Level would be more believable. In their view, Emperor Level was already incredible, Saint Level was almost unimaginable, let alone God Level.

"Kid, I'll give you some advice, even lies should have limits. Don't go overboard." Master Wang said with a cold laugh.

"Lying? No, I really did send things to the Young Miss." Xiaoyao shook his head.

"I'm not talking about that. Let me teach you, you should say your Young Miss will finish cultivating when she reaches Saint Level, not God Level. That's too ridiculous." Master Wang mocked.

"Saint Level? That's what's ridiculous." Xiaoyao shook his head.

"Right, Saint Level is difficult too. Your Young Miss should aim for Emperor Level." Master Wang continued laughing, looking at Xiaoyao mockingly.

Xiaoyao shook his head again, saying, "I said it's ridiculous because the Young Miss is already at Saint Level. How can there be talk of cultivating to Saint Level again? That's ridiculous."

"..."

The women fell silent. They wanted to say: Young master, bragging isn't done like this. Not only will this not intimidate them, it'll make them mock you.

"Already at Saint Level? Haha... Don't make me die laughing. Do you know what kind of existence Saint Level beings are? They're all legends. Even Tianyuan Kingdom only has twenty or thirty Saint Level practitioners, each a famous figure known throughout the land. Who is your Young Miss?" Master Wang mocked.

No one would believe Xiaoyao's claim that his Young Miss was already at Saint Level, because Saint Level was simply too distant.

"May I boldly ask, how old is your Young Miss?" Captain Li frowned. He felt it was better to be cautious, what if she really was Saint Level? Then he'd have offended such a great figure.

"She should be two years older than me, around twenty-three now." Xiaoyao thought and said. Guxing was the same age as him, and she seemed two years younger than the Young Miss.

"..." The women fell silent again. A twenty-three-year-old Saint Level, how was that possible? Young master, your bragging is getting bigger and bigger. But what they cared about most was that young master was twenty-one years old.

"Haha, so funny, twenty-three years old, Saint Level..." Both Captain Li and Master Wang laughed. This time, no one thought the Young Miss might actually be Saint Level.

"What's strange about it? My boss is even more impressive, she's the same age as me and reached Saint Level last year." Xiaoyao said casually. Why didn't these people believe him? He was an honest person who never lied, well, under normal circumstances.

"Haha, brag away, keep bragging! Now that's what I call bragging!" Master Wang laughed loudly.

"Believe it or not, I've said what I needed to say. If you want Yihong Courtyard now, wait for my Young Miss to come here!" Xiaoyao shrugged helplessly.

"Kid, don't be too arrogant. Taking others for fools won't benefit you. Men, arrest this kid. Later we'll let him properly taste our guard troops' ten great tortures and see if he can still be arrogant." Captain Li looked coldly at Xiaoyao while giving orders for his subordinates to act.

"Stop!"

Mudan and others blocked Xiaoyao's front very bravely, even moving Xiaoyao somewhat. Let anyone say prostitutes are heartless again, this brother will fight them.

Because of Mudan and others' actions, those soldiers didn't advance either. After all, they were military men, how could they feel right about attacking women, unless on a battlefield?

"Kid, do you plan to hide behind these women? Is this what a man does?" Master Wang said with great disdain.

"Young master, quickly leave! These ruffians are all unreasonable. We'll hold them off here, we'll be fine." Mudan and others said. Among civilians, the biggest impression of guard troops was that they were ruffians with official positions.

"Don't worry, all of you step back. Leave this to me," Xiaoyao said with a smile. He appreciated Mudan and others' good intentions, but he couldn't let them stand in front.

"But young master..."

"Don't worry. I'm not as weak as you imagine. I don't take these people seriously." Xiaoyao said with a smile.

That's right, these people were at most General Level. That Captain Li had King Level strength, but for Xiaoyao, even King Level could be handled. Even peak King Level was no problem, let alone this Captain Li who was only mid King Level, he could handle him completely.

"Young master..." Mudan and others were still somewhat worried.

"It's fine. I'm also a cultivating martial artist. My strength is higher than theirs. Wait, let me first find where my sword is." Xiaoyao initially gave people some confidence, but his latter statement completely destroyed it, someone who misplaced their sword couldn't have very high swordsmanship.

"Found it. This sword has never been unsheathed. Today there's finally an opportunity." Xiaoyao found his sword and drew it. Good, it was well-maintained, no rust.

"..."

No way, you've never even unsheathed your sword...

"Young master, I think we should hold them off first while you leave!" Mudan and others said.

"I told you, step back. I really can handle this. Unless they can find Emperor Level or higher people, otherwise, for me, it's a piece of cake." Xiaoyao held his sword and slowly walked forward.

"Brag away, just keep bragging! You'll suffer soon enough," Master Wang looked at Xiaoyao, laughing inwardly. He anticipated the coming scene, he imagined Xiaoyao being captured by soldiers, covered in wounds.

"I tell you, though I'm not as formidable as my boss and Young Miss, I'm not to be trifled with either. You'd better step back to avoid getting hurt," Xiaoyao held his sword toward those soldiers, his expression seeming to say: Don't force me to act, or you'll get badly hurt.

"..." Master Wang was speechless. This kid was really something, still putting on an act at this point.

"Brothers, charge! Beat this kid senseless, just keep him alive!" Captain Li couldn't stand it either, feeling Xiaoyao's act was really too excessive.

"Charge!"

"Roar!"

The group of soldiers rushed toward Xiaoyao. At this moment, Xiaoyao had already passed through Mudan and others. Everyone saw those soldiers' weapons falling toward Xiaoyao, it felt like the next moment Xiaoyao would die under these chaotic blades.

This feeling seemed shared by everyone present, because none would consider Xiaoyao an expert. Xiaoyao had never shown such abilities, and his aura was very concealed. Previously one could see his strength level, but now even God Level practitioners couldn't discern his power.

This was a technique Xiaoyao had learned in the Xuanwu Family's secret chamber. The nice name was Xuanwu Divine Breath Technique; the ordinary name was Turtle Breath Method.
