Full Time Servant
Chapter 495 : Xiaoyao and the Young Lady 2
So, through his connections and perseverance, he joined Haoran Sect, starting as an odd-job outer disciple. Within a few years, he became an inner disciple, transforming from a scholar without the strength to tie up a chicken into a King Level martial artist.
Although King Level martial artists weren't much in Haoran Sect, just ordinary inner disciples, becoming Emperor Level would make one somewhat important, and Saint Level would make one core.
But Wang Zhongshan was originally a scholar who knew nothing, becoming a King Level martial artist within a few years, and he was already almost twenty when he started learning martial arts. The difficulty of this was imaginable.
Therefore, Wang Zhongshan was already a small legend at that time, and he later expanded this legend, becoming a legend of Haoran Sect, then a legend of the world.
When he was in his thirties, he entered Saint Level, just over ten years, his potential was enormous. Later, when he was in his forties, he entered God Level, gradually catching up with those few God Level existences in Haoran Sect. Now he had surpassed everyone, becoming Haoran Sect's number one.
All of this seemed like a legend, only in legendary stories would there be such situations. But the facts were before everyone's eyes. Wang Zhongshan had created a legend.
"Of course, now you know that knowing me is your good fortune, right?" Wang Yanyu said with a smile. She had never known what politeness or modesty meant with Xiaoyao.
"Yes, yes, this is this humble one's good fortune. How do you plan to handle this matter?" Xiaoyao nodded.
...
...
"Such a small matter should naturally be handled by you. I know you're very slippery," Wang Yanyu directly threw the matter to Xiaoyao. Although it was somewhat casual, it had to be said this was also the best choice.
"Since that's the case, then today I'll temporarily be the one who sticks his neck out. I'll handle this matter. You have no problems with this, right?" Xiaoyao said.
"No problem!" Luo Yunqing said directly. Even without Wang Yanyu as a factor, he felt he could confidently let Xiaoyao handle it. Because he knew that although Xiaoyao seemed very casual, when handling major matters, he wouldn't be careless at all, and was decisive in action.
"What about you?" Xiaoyao looked toward the King.
"Since things are like this, can I still object?" the King was somewhat displeased, but knew he could only wait for the other party to decide his fate.
"You can object, but generally speaking, I won't accept it!" Xiaoyao smiled, speaking very amiably.
"..." Everyone was speechless. Then why are you even asking?
"Alright, my handling method is actually very simple. Today the Luo family successfully changes the dynasty. From now on, the royal family of Flowing Stone Kingdom will be the Luo family, while the former royal family can continue to own their private assets and continue living in Flowing Stone Kingdom. The Luo family must never trouble the former royal family without cause, and will give the former royal family certain tax benefits, as well as provide certain protection for their industries," Xiaoyao said.
"I agree!" Luo Yunqing said. Although this was slightly better conditions than what he had previously offered the royal family, he could allow this small benefit.
Tax benefits, this was actually equivalent to giving them money, and this was permanent. As long as the former royal family didn't perish, they could always have this condition.
"We also agree..." Some royal family members also expressed their stance. Actually, for these royal family members, the losses weren't very great, because what they could possess now was just private things anyway, they didn't have much royal power to begin with.
The one with the greatest loss would be the King, because he held royal power in his hands and his private assets were almost zero. He might live the most miserable life among the current royal family, which was why he was the most resistant.
As for the others, the Luo family becoming the royal family didn't mean much change for them, just a different king. They would continue doing what they had been doing.
The Luo family was already almost the master of Flowing Stone Kingdom anyway, and generally things were decided by the Luo family. Although no one said this openly, everyone understood it well.
The subsequent matters were basically simple, the handover of royal power. The former royal family became a noble family of Flowing Stone Kingdom, the Luo family became the royal family. This matter was resolved very peacefully.
"Nothing else to do, right? Xiaoyao, let's go," Wang Yanyu said to Xiaoyao.
"Mm, there's nothing for me to do anyway," Xiaoyao nodded.
"I think this royal palace is quite nice. I'll stay here tonight. You have no problems with this, right?" Wang Yanyu said to Luo Yunqing.
"No problem. We don't necessarily have to live in the royal palace now..." Luo Yunqing said. Though called a royal palace, its size was actually about the same as the Luo family residence, but the royal palace had some palace-style buildings that the Luo family didn't have.
The royal palace had the most important facility of a royal palace, the great hall, where all court ministers attended court. This was something the Luo family didn't have. Luo Yunqing believed he would eventually have to move into the royal palace.
Although the Luo family head didn't necessarily have to be king, currently there weren't many people who could be competent for this position, and even fewer who could suppress those court ministers. Luo Yunqing was the natural choice.
Luo Yunqing had a bit of a headache. Perhaps becoming the royal family wasn't a good thing, because this way he would have even less time to cultivate. A king had too many things to handle.
This was a matter of gains and losses. Unless one was a foolish ruler, anyone who became king would definitely be very tired. In such an environment of survival of the fittest, foolish rulers would basically be eliminated quickly without much survival space, unless someone protected them.
In fact, Luo Yunqing would move into the royal palace today. A country couldn't be without a ruler for a day. Others might be able to stay at the Luo family residence first, but not Luo Yunqing.
"Never mind about you all. Xiaoyao, come with me. Tonight we'll admire the moon together," Wang Yanyu pulled Xiaoyao's hand and left. She didn't care how much the Luo family people wanted to ask Xiaoyao about things. Let them guess first, she hadn't seen Xiaoyao for a long time and had many, many things she wanted to say.
"There's no moon tonight," Xiaoyao replied, somewhat spoiling the mood.
"Then we'll look at the stars," Wang Yanyu said indifferently.
"It might rain tonight..." Xiaoyao continued.
"If it rains, we'll go inside. Why are you being so long-winded? Don't you want to be with me?" Wang Yanyu glared at Xiaoyao. If you dare say something I don't want to hear, I'll make you pay.
"Of course not. I still have many questions to consult you about," Xiaoyao immediately shook his head. This wasn't because he was afraid, nor was he flattering, it was a fact, because Wang Yanyu was like a walking library. Many questions could get answers from her.
"Then why are you saying so much?" Wang Yanyu gave Xiaoyao a sideways glance.
"I was just stating a fact. You can treat my words as passing wind," Xiaoyao replied casually.
"You talk too much..." Wang Yanyu said irritably, pulling Xiaoyao away.
The two left under everyone's gaze. Until now, some people still couldn't believe that the key to deciding the entire matter had actually been these two people, and at the same time, both of them didn't care about this matter at all.
"This Xiaoyao really brings surprise after surprise..." Luo Yunqing said. "Perhaps his appearance is when our Luo family encounters a turning point..."
Luo Yunqing increasingly felt that Xiaoyao might be the key to the Luo family's rise. From Xiaoyao's appearance until now, first he provided pill support to the Luo family and could even refine Marrow Cleansing Pills!
Second, he very coincidentally appeared in that incident. Although Xiaoyao had no effect in that incident at all, that incident happened to be an opportunity to weaken other forces, perhaps it was good luck brought by Xiaoyao.
And finally was the current situation. Without Xiaoyao, this matter might have had unexpected changes. The royal family might have gotten help from Haoran Sect, and the Luo family might have had to face Wang Zhongshan of Haoran Sect. Just him alone would be very terrifying, let alone that he could mobilize Haoran Sect's people.
Now, because of Xiaoyao's relationship, not only did they not offend Wang Zhongshan, but they seemed to have established a relatively close relationship with him. This allowed the Luo family to turn danger into safety and be very secure.
These points might just be coincidences, but they might also be the good fortune brought by Xiaoyao.
"Alright, let's handle official business. Drive all former royal family members out of the palace, but if anyone resists, kill without mercy," Luo Yunqing began handling matters. Now there was a huge pile of things to handle, and in a few days they'd have to prepare the enthronement ceremony. Although it wouldn't be very grand, it was still necessary.
Xiaoyao didn't know about these things. He was just accompanying Wang Yanyu, and because of this, no one came to disturb him. All the Luo family members unanimously believed that accompanying Wang Yanyu was a very important task, even more important than anything else.
As for why Wang Yanyu appeared here, Xiaoyao also found it strange. He wouldn't believe Wang Yanyu came for the King's sake. Even if her father Wang Zhongshan asked her to come repay a favor, she might not necessarily come.
Her coming here should have a necessary reason. He had asked about this and gotten an answer, but this answer seemed somewhat far-fetched.
"I came here to enjoy the scenery and wander around randomly," was Wang Yanyu's answer. But when she said this, she didn't seem to dare look at Xiaoyao, giving the feeling of avoiding the subject.
Seeing Wang Yanyu like this, Xiaoyao didn't pursue the question. This was Wang Yanyu's own business after all. If she didn't want to say, he wouldn't force her.
"Your Majesty Queen, do you know what cultivation technique comes after the Divine Farmer's Art?" Xiaoyao began getting to the point, talking about a question he wanted to know, to see if Wang Yanyu had any information.
