"It's like this—there are three problems this time. One is a chess game, one is medical related, and one seems to be an impossible task," someone said.

"Chess game? Medicine?" Hei Xue's face lit up with delight. "This is wonderful!"

"What? Wonderful? This chess game isn't ordinary—it's an endgame, an unsolvable endgame. And this medical problem requires saving someone who's definitely going to die—also unsolvable. We have no way to handle them," the person said.

"It's fine. I know Xiaoyao's chess skills and medical arts are both excellent," Hei Xue said with a smile, looking at Xiaoyao with an affectionate expression, as if in her eyes, Xiaoyao was certain to succeed.

"Hei Xue, we also have chess and medical experts here, and they couldn't solve these either. Your Xiaoyao will probably face the same difficulty," the person shook his head.

Since they came to solve difficult problems, naturally they brought all the experts who might encounter relevant topics. Medicine and chess were relatively popular subjects that appeared frequently—they naturally wouldn't be careless.

They didn't know what Xiaoyao was capable of. Even now knowing he had medical and chess skills, they wouldn't think he was stronger than their own experts. After all, Xiaoyao looked too young, and these two arts required more experience and seniority for greater strength.

Unless he was some monster-like genius, but this pretty boy before them couldn't possibly be that kind of prodigious talent.

"It's normal that you can't solve them—otherwise, why would I call him here?" Hei Xue said unconcernedly. Her words were devastatingly powerful, practically wounding everyone present.

...

"Hei Xue, I don't like hearing that. Do you really think that what so many of us couldn't solve, he alone can handle?" the seductive woman from earlier said.

This was originally her attempt to drive a wedge between Hei Xue and the others. She didn't think Hei Xue would say yes, because that would be truly unwise behavior. With Hei Xue's shrewdness, how could she do something so foolish?

But the result greatly surprised her.

"Naturally," Hei Xue nodded, leaving everyone stunned.

Everyone also understood one thing—this Hei Xue was extraordinarily fond of this young man, almost to the point of obsession. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—not just regarding appearance, but abilities as well.

"This kind of discussion is meaningless and just wastes time. First tell me the problems," Xiaoyao frowned. Though it might offend people, there was no choice now—it was better than continuing this pointless argument.

"You really..." the seductive woman wanted to say something but was interrupted before finishing.

"Stop talking nonsense. State the problems," Hei Xue said directly.

"Hmph!" The seductive woman snorted and stopped speaking, but this didn't mean others wouldn't tell Hei Xue about the problems.

Since Hei Xue had said this, they also wanted to see Xiaoyao's abilities. If Xiaoyao couldn't solve them, they could mock him from the sidelines.

"These can't be explained briefly—you need to see them to understand," someone said. The chess game couldn't be described clearly, and while the medical problem could be explained, it was best to see it personally.

Soon Xiaoyao saw an endgame—a very peculiar endgame where under normal circumstances, white pieces were doomed. Even with desperate struggle, it would only delay the inevitable.

Abnormal methods? That would depend on a person's chess skills and intelligence. Logically, since they had set up this endgame, there must be a solution, though they themselves might not know it—but there definitely was one.

All problems from the Wanderer Family's ancestral master had solutions. He would never pose unsolvable puzzles—this was certain.

When everyone thought Xiaoyao would study it for a long time and consider it carefully, unexpectedly, after just one glance, he immediately said: "What about the medical problem?"

It seemed he really had no real ability and couldn't understand it, so he simply gave up.

"This is about detoxification—curing the world's most peculiar poison, the Heartless Poison..."

"Alright, next one!"

Before the person finished introducing it, Xiaoyao interrupted directly. This made people even more convinced that Xiaoyao was just playing around. They all wanted to see how Hei Xue would handle this situation.

Earlier, Hei Xue had said Xiaoyao was so capable, seemingly able to solve anything, but now he appeared to understand nothing. Wasn't this exactly what they wanted to see—Hei Xue embarrassed?

"The last problem is very strange—making a piece of iron float on water without using anything else, just water and iron. Only legendary water that can float people could achieve this, but where do we have time to find such water now?" The speaker frowned, lamenting the lack of time, and apparently they had sent people to search for it.

"Alright, I understand all the problems now. You can pack up and leave," Xiaoyao said with a light smile.

"What? We pack up and leave? What do you mean?" Everyone was confused by Xiaoyao's statement.

"Aren't you giving up yourself, thinking these are impossible to solve, so you think we should be like you and give up too? Let me tell you—you are you, we are we. We're different from you," someone said disdainfully.

This explanation seemed most reasonable—Xiaoyao must have given up and was telling everyone else to give up too.

"Impossible to solve? How could that be? I'm telling you to pack up and go home because I've already solved these three problems. Everyone can go back now," Xiaoyao said.

"What? You solved them? Don't joke around. You just glanced at them, didn't even finish listening to the explanations, and you've solved them? Who do you think you are?" everyone questioned skeptically.

"I'm called Xiaoyao—Le Xiaoyao," Xiaoyao replied.

"..."

Were we asking what your name was?

"Xiaoyao, have you solved the problems?" Hei Xue wouldn't doubt Xiaoyao like the others. If Xiaoyao said he had solved them, it meant he definitely could solve them.

However, this also surprised Hei Xue somewhat. This was too fast! According to her thinking, even if Xiaoyao could solve them, it should take a very long time. This seemed too quick—almost as if he finished just by looking at the problems once.

"This is actually luck. Although these three problems are new ones you haven't encountered, I happened to have seen this chess game and studied the Heartless Poison before. What a coincidence," Xiaoyao said with a smile.

He admitted he couldn't immediately solve these two problems. He had originally spent considerable time studying them to find solutions.

Speaking of this chess game, Xiaoyao seemed to remember Wang Yanyu mentioning it. They had studied it together. The solution method for this chess game was very strange—something no one would think of.

"You've encountered them before? No wonder. But this is perfect—I've made a great contribution this time," Hei Xue said with a smile. If Xiaoyao completely solved the problems this time, her achievement within the Demonic Sound Sect would be the greatest.

This matter had always been a pain for the Demonic Sound Sect. The greatest contributor would receive substantial benefits—predictably, Hei Xue would gain significant advantages.

"Yes, who would have thought we'd be so lucky this time? I originally thought it would take considerable time, but it seems not much is needed. After completing this, I can go back," Xiaoyao smiled. This matter went smoothly beyond his expectations, but that was even better—he could return quickly.

"Don't you want to return to the Demon Domain with me first?" Hei Xue looked at Xiaoyao and asked. She very much wanted Xiaoyao to go back with her, not just because she missed him, but also because Xiaoyao's status in the Demon Domain wasn't simple—he could provide her support.

Although Xiaoyao wasn't really from the Demon Domain, his relationship with Qi Bupo's family connected him to two major Demon Domain forces. His words could make Hei Xue's position more secure.

"No need. When I have a chance to visit Sister Yanran in the future, I'll drop by to see you," Xiaoyao shook his head. He naturally couldn't go to the Demon Domain with Hei Xue.

He still had to return to the Luo family to handle subsequent matters, then go back to the Divine Martial Continent with Guxing and the others. Now everything was almost finished—his background was confirmed, and he at least knew Fang Chunxue was his mother. He needed to pay respects to her.

As for Luo Yuntian's matter—whether they could address each other as father and son in the future would depend on Luo Yuntian. Xiaoyao felt this wasn't important—not as important as returning to pay respects to Fang Chunxue.

"I understand," Hei Xue nodded without saying anything. She had already guessed this would be the result.

"Alright, go find someone. I'll handle these problems—the sooner the better," Xiaoyao said. The earlier he finished, the sooner he could see the Carefree Sect's martial arts. He wanted to see things related to what came after the Divine Farmer's Art.

"Alright, I'll call someone over," someone said. He still didn't quite believe Xiaoyao could solve the problems—three problems that had stumped everyone for a month. Solving even one would be difficult, let alone all three.

However, since Xiaoyao said he had encountered these problems before and might have studied them for a long time, perhaps several years of research could crack them. Whether true or not, they needed to call someone to verify.

If it was true, at least their group would have completed the mission. Even if it wasn't their own achievement, they would still have some credit—at least it was their team that succeeded.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Soon, people from the Wanderer Family arrived. The person who came seemed to be Laughing Wolf, who had just left. He appeared to be the reception staff for this occasion, responsible for everything, including problem-solving.

"Problem-solving."

"Oh, you want to try again? Good, I'll arrange it immediately. Which one would you like to attempt first?" Laughing Wolf said with a smile. Why did he say "again"? Obviously, such attempts happened frequently.
