Full Time Servant
Chapter 496 : The Sleeping Wang Yanyu 1
"I recently obtained a nameless technique that's somewhat incomplete. It seems like it can be continued from the Divine Farmer's Art. I don't know if this is the authentic continuation, but the effects are quite good, it allowed me to go directly from Late King Level to Emperor Level," Xiaoyao looked at Wang Yanyu and said, taking a sip of the tea Wang Yanyu had brewed. The tea was very fragrant, though not top grade, it left an endless aftertaste.
"What technique? Recite it for me to hear. Perhaps I've seen it before," Wang Yanyu immediately said. She had read too many books, many of which were nameless texts, and quite a few were incomplete. Even she didn't know where all these books were from.
"Alright, I'll recite it for you..." Xiaoyao nodded and began reciting that nameless technique. For the incomplete parts that he had supplemented himself, he explained them as well. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't understand his meaning, but Wang Yanyu had no problems at all.
"This technique... I feel very familiar with it..." Wang Yanyu frowned. She seemed to have heard similar techniques before, or seen part of this technique.
Seeing Wang Yanyu like this, Xiaoyao was naturally very happy. This meant Wang Yanyu had clues. If she knew nothing at all, it would mean there were no leads whatsoever.
"I remember now. The artistic conception of this technique is very similar to a technique from the Carefree Sect," Wang Yanyu said.
"Carefree Sect?" Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
"Yes, the Carefree Sect. This sect is very strange, it's divided into many factions, and each faction's techniques and martial arts are different, with different focuses. These differences are completely different, without any connection at all," Wang Yanyu said.
...
...
"I seem to have heard about this too. It's because the people of the Carefree Sect all act independently. They don't even have a sect master, they're originally a group of unrestrained people who got together. This is quite normal. Their techniques and martial arts are mostly from outside sources, brought in by people who joined the Carefree Sect. So their techniques and martial arts are very chaotic, with almost no connection between the different factions," Xiaoyao replied.
"Yes, the Carefree Sect is just that strange. But this is also the style of unorthodox sects, they're all very free. They generally can only represent individuals and no one can ever represent the sect. They can only cooperate when there are external enemies invading," Wang Yanyu said.
"What technique were you talking about?" Xiaoyao asked.
"It's called the Carefree Formula. This technique originally existed in the Carefree Sect, but the current situation is a bit strange. The original martial arts and techniques of the Carefree Sect are no longer practiced by anyone, supposedly because the Carefree Sect's original techniques are very difficult to cultivate," Wang Yanyu said.
"Do you know the content of this Carefree Formula?" Xiaoyao asked. This was the key point, if she knew, then he could verify it.
"I don't know about that. They wouldn't let me see it. If you asked about other factions, I'd know some," Wang Yanyu shook her head.
"Your Majesty Queen, could you introduce me to the Carefree Sect? I want to join the Carefree Sect," Xiaoyao said.
"Hmm? You want to join the Carefree Sect?" Wang Yanyu was stunned. "Think it through carefully, the Carefree Sect is an unorthodox sect. If you join, you'll definitely be rejected by orthodox people. Although they won't hunt you down like they do demonic practitioners, it won't be pleasant either."
"Why should I care what the orthodox people think? I'm not planning to live with them. The Carefree Sect suits me well, aren't I called Xiaoyao?" Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.
"That's not wrong. With your personality, it wouldn't matter even if you were in an unorthodox sect, you wouldn't care about others' opinions. This is quite similar to those unorthodox people. You also act according to your heart rather than reason, which is also similar to unorthodox sects. However, you don't need to join an unorthodox sect for this reason. Although you suit unorthodox sects, you also suit orthodox ones. Joining our Haoran Sect would be best," Wang Yanyu said with a smile.
As she said, except for demonic paths, Xiaoyao was suitable for both orthodox and unorthodox, he was someone who was both righteous and unorthodox.
"If I don't join the Carefree Sect, will they let me see the Carefree Formula?" Xiaoyao asked in return.
"Probably not. Even with my connections it didn't work, so it's even more impossible for you. Speaking of it this way, it seems you must join the Carefree Sect..." Wang Yanyu frowned.
"Not necessarily must, but I like the name!" Xiaoyao said indifferently, as if his reason for wanting to enter the Carefree Sect was just because of the name.
"Didn't you just want to say you wanted to see the later techniques? How is it not necessary now?" Wang Yanyu asked.
"My current technique can already be cultivated to God Level. After reaching God Level, who knows when that will be, perhaps I'll comprehend new techniques then. So this isn't necessarily essential," Xiaoyao answered.
"Oh, that's true. With your aptitude, reaching God Level would take at least ten to twenty years, and after reaching God Level, techniques aren't really the focus anymore," Wang Yanyu nodded. After God Level, if you wanted to see the Carefree Formula, you could see it immediately upon entering the Carefree Sect.
Although the Carefree Formula couldn't be seen by outsiders, once you entered, anyone with some status could access it. A God Level existence would definitely have certain status.
"So, for the sake of it being called the Carefree Sect, I still want to go."
"..." Wang Yanyu wanted to beat Xiaoyao up.
Afterward, Xiaoyao and Wang Yanyu talked as usual until midnight. Then, while talking, Wang Yanyu actually fell asleep. Xiaoyao initially wanted to say good night, but later realized something was wrong.
How could Wang Yanyu fall asleep? She was someone who never slept. Could it be that during this time her illness had been cured by someone? It should be so, they had been separated for over half a year, and anything could happen in between, naturally including her illness being cured.
Xiaoyao carefully picked up Wang Yanyu and placed her on the bed in the inner room, covered her with a blanket, then went outside to meditate and rest, standing guard for Wang Yanyu's sleep.
Wang Yanyu slept very deeply that night, and for a very long time. This sleep seemed like she wanted to make up for all the sleep she hadn't had before, seven days passed and she still hadn't woken up.
Xiaoyao checked her condition, there was nothing abnormal about her body, she was just sleeping. Perhaps she was too tired. She hadn't slept for so many years, so let her continue sleeping.
During these seven days, the Luo family also completed most of the royal power transition. At the same time, some Luo family members were positioned as heirs. The family head's inheritance rights were the royal inheritance rights, separating them would cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, being king didn't necessarily require personal involvement, one could delegate to others.
Naturally, Xiaoyao had no share in this inheritance right because he was unwilling to change his surname to Luo. Luo Yunqing and Third Master had both talked to Xiaoyao about this in recent days, but Xiaoyao consistently disagreed.
So Xiaoyao temporarily had no inheritance rights. If he changed his mind someday, he could have them. The Luo family head position always went to the capable. Xiaoyao was an outstanding person in this generation, martial prowess wasn't very important. Even his current Emperor Level was sufficient to become family head.
The family head position was never something you could get just by having high martial prowess, though martial power couldn't be too low either, or it would be hard to command respect.
However, although Xiaoyao wasn't given inheritance rights, he was given the title of prince, Prince Xiaoyao.
Of course, these prince and princess titles were nominal, almost the same as young master and young miss. The Luo family now had countless princes and princesses, this was a form of fairness. It didn't mean those without inheritance rights couldn't be called princes and princesses.
Now when Xiaoyao saw Lingyu and others, he would call them "Princess." Of course, they would also reply "Your Highness Prince." Everyone seemed to find this very fresh now and enjoyed it, though if it continued long enough, probably no one would address each other this way anymore.
The Luo family management didn't interfere with this phenomenon. Not to mention this was just young people's novelty, even if they continued forever, these forms of address were fine, because that's what they really were.
"Oh, isn't this Prince Xiaoyao? Why are you still here?" Lingling ran over and said to Xiaoyao with a smile.
"Princess Lingling, what do you need from this prince?" Xiaoyao said with a smile, very naturally, not feeling there was anything wrong with this form of address.
"It's not that I'm looking for you, just telling you that uncle will be enthroned at noon. Do you want to attend the ceremony?" Lingling said. It was now one hour before noon, and actually some people were already waiting there for it to begin.
"No thanks, such occasions don't suit me," Xiaoyao declined.
"How could they not suit you? You're Prince Xiaoyao," Lingling said with a smile.
"Come on, princes are a dime a dozen, I'm not important," Xiaoyao replied.
"Really not going?"
"Mm!"
Lingling looked at Xiaoyao, then asked: "Are you worried about that woman inside?"
Xiaoyao was stunned, not expecting Lingling to ask this. He shook his head and replied: "She's just sleeping. What's there for me to worry about? I don't want to go because I always feel that my going would bring trouble."
"What do you mean?" Lingling was a bit confused.
"Every time I participate in such occasions, some incident occurs. So it's better if I don't participate," Xiaoyao said with a smile. Although this had some self-deprecating elements, it was also somewhat based on fact, incidents had occurred at similar occasions Xiaoyao had attended.
"Tch, what kind of reason is that? This time there definitely won't be any problems. Come with me, I'll cover for you," Lingling said irritably, pulling Xiaoyao along.
