y were somewhat distressed mentally, as they had fallen prey to a skilled con artist among the deceivers. Not only were they unable to deceive Xiangyang, but they had also ended up parting with some o...Chapter 428: A Scholar's Wrath Part 2

"You did this intentionally!!" Shang Lingjian pointed at Xianyao and accused him.

"Ah, you figured it out! Young Master Scion, I didn't know you were so smart." Xianyao said in astonishment.

"You…"

"Lingjian, there's no need for more talk! Xianyao, I don’t know your purpose of coming here, but yesterday when I faced that little thief, I clearly remember his figure. Both height and build are the same as yours!!" Wuwen Yuanchuan looked at Xianyao and said this point was crucial. Initially, he wouldn't have suspected Xianyao, for it seemed unlikely.

But upon seeing Xianyao, he didn’t think so anymore because his figure really resembled that of the little thief. This coincidence couldn't be too fortuitous.

A chance is a chance; what about two chances Could they also just be coincidences

"This is my standard build, though I am taller than average…" Xianyao glanced at Shang Lingjian with an obvious meaning, which made Shang Lingjian furious again.

Xianyao was indeed tall, a bit taller than Shang Lingjian. However, this height wasn't extraordinary; it could be easily found across the land. Wuwen Lingsong before him was just one such example.

"But I am not too exceptional either. You can find hundreds of people in your Wuwen Family who look exactly like me. Do you want to know their names" Xianyao continued, speaking the truth.

“Go ahead and say it, there are a hundred of them, even lying requires no thought!” Shang Lingjian interrupted.

"Alright, then I'll tell you. In the Beast Cage, there are two people named…" Xianyao began to recite names along with their locations. Some had names while others only had work sites.

Within these past few years, he had dealt with all sorts of people and understood this matter well.

"Stop! I believe what you said; figure does not mean much." Wuwen Yuanchuan stopped Xianyao from speaking further. He couldn’t be certain about everything, but there were indeed a few who matched the description, so he could not use it as evidence.

Wuwen Yuanchuan continued: "Actually, I have exchanged a few moves with that little thief; shall we do the same"

"No!" Xianyao rejected him outright.

"Are you afraid" Shang Lingjian sneered.

Just as Xianyao was about to reply, Wuwen Lixiao spoke up: "Xianyao can't be Uncle's match. He is only a King Rank cultivator and practices the utterly non-aggressive Shen Nong Art!"

"Shen Nong Art" Hearing this, Wuwen Yuanchuan was surprised. "You practice Shen Nong Art But you've reached King Rank at your age; in the future, you'll achieve great accomplishments! You shouldn't be a butler!"

"This, I originally practiced Shen Nong Art while being a butler. The reason behind this is not worth mentioning. There's no interest for you and it isn’t necessary to explain," Xianyao said as he waved his hand.

“Alright then, regardless of whether you are that thief or have any ties with the Wei Family, if you wish to stay in the Wuwen Family and serve it faithfully, I will offer you a very good deal!” Wuwen Yuanchuan looked at Xianyao and said this. At this point, he no longer cared about other matters; he only saw potential in Xianyao.

"Uncle, how can we let him off like that He is..."

“Shut up!!" Wuwen Yuanchuan shouted and ignored Shang Lingjian. He stared at Xianyao, waiting for his reply.

Wuwen Yuanchuan felt he needed to teach Wuwen Wenshou a lesson: how could such basic understanding be lacking If Xianyao was indeed on their side, the past wouldn’t matter as Xianyao didn’t take anything from the secret room.

A King Rank cultivator of Shen Nong Art might not seem impressive; however, at twenty-something and definitely breaking through to Emperor Rank in the future, there would be no need to consider Saint Rank. Just an Emperor Rank was enough, for a King Rank practitioner of Shen Nong Art was an extremely rare existence!

Even Imperial Dragon Country's Emperor Rank practitioners of Shen Nong Art could be counted on one hand; currently, Wuwen Family had none. Practicing Shen Nong Art later became too difficult and required a talent even greater than entering Saint Rank.

If someone could already enter Saint Rank, who would practice Shen Nong Art This was basically impossible. Such special cases were exceedingly rare!

However, healing others would incur a cost in terms of one's own cultivation. Moreover, not just any expert could heal injuries; the healer and the patient must have compatible internal energy, and even then, successful treatment does not guarantee full recovery as hidden ailments might still occur.

In contrast, those who practice Shen Nong’s Art are not constrained by such limitations. They can treat all sorts of internal injuries without conflict or depletion of their own internal energy. Provided they have the physical stamina, they can heal endlessly, and most importantly, they can completely cure injuries.

Of course, due to differences in strength levels, lower-level practitioners of Shen Nong’s Art cannot subdue higher-level internal energies. Like other martial artists, their healing abilities are limited by their own level; ordinary martial artists can only treat injuries from those at the same or a lower level, meaning the attacker's rank rather than the injured person’s.

Practitioners of Shen Nong’s Art are different; they can heal across levels, generally one major grade higher. That is to say, an Emperor-level practitioner could treat Inheritor-level injuries, which would cover almost all possible injuries.

Becoming a God would basically eliminate such concerns as they can resolve issues on their own, though it may take some time!

The presence of an Emperor-level practitioner of Shen Nong’s Art is like having a very powerful support; even if injured, there's no need to worry about complications. This underscores the importance of an Emperor-level practitioner of Shen Nong’s Art.

Xiaoyao has a high chance of reaching the Emperor level, and as he practices Shen Nong’s Art, his importance far exceeds that of Inheritor-level experts. Such significance naturally makes Wu Xuan Wen Yuan abandon all other thoughts and focus solely on recruiting Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, please agree to this; it's much better than taking the imperial exams," said Wu Xuan Ling Xiao. She was helping both Xiaoyao and Wu Xuan Wen Yuan, as she saw this as mutually beneficial.

Hmph, what a bargain for this boy! Shang Ling Jian felt aggrieved seeing how highly Wu Xuan Wen Yuan and Wu Xuan Ling Xiao regarded Xiaoyao. He believed Xiaoyao would definitely accept their offer after such an invitation.

"Miss Lingxiao, thank you for your kindness, but I have my own matters to attend to; leaving was planned for these days anyway," said Xiaoyao as he shook his head in refusal.

“What You actually turned them down! Don’t be so ungrateful!!” Shang Ling Jian was surprised, thinking it inconceivable. With his qualifications, being noticed by the Wu Xuan family should have been an honor; he should be thankful.

"Xiaoyao, think this through! I can offer you everything if you stay!" declared Wu Xuan Wen Yuan.

“Sorry, Master of the Wu Xuan Family, I already work for a boss. As long as my current boss doesn't fire me, I don’t plan on quitting either; I’m just here part-time,” Xiaoyao revealed an unexpected fact.

"I told you! Someone sent him over! See Now he’s exposed!"

Ignoring Shang Ling Jian's comment, Wu Xuan Wen Yuan asked Xiaoyao: "Who is your boss"

“She currently doesn’t have much fame but soon she’ll be known throughout the realm as an outstanding rising star!” replied Xiaoyao with confidence.

"I won't mention her name; you'll understand later. Telling you now would only cause unnecessary trouble for my boss," continued Xiaoyao, preempting Wu Xuan Wen Yuan's next question.

“You really already have a boss” Ling Xiao asked dumbfounded.

"Yeah!" Xiaoyao nodded his head, "It’s been over ten years..."

"Over ten years Did you start serving her when you were young" Ling Xiao was surprised and questioned further. She had thought of it before but now it seemed different.

If Xiaoyao started serving his boss at a young age, why would he come here Wouldn’t his boss need him by her side This was even more perplexing.

Part-time work is common, but seldom do household servants take part-time jobs. If they can't be supported, they naturally change employers; it wouldn't be part-time.

If he’s working part-time, that means he's attached to his boss and there must be an emotional connection since he grew up beside her.

Ling Xiao didn’t realize she was mistaken. It wasn’t Xiaoyao who depended on his boss; rather, it was the other way around, and they were of similar age.

No one would have imagined this situation; no one could understand the relationship between Xiaoyao and Solitary Star or their feelings for each other!

"Yes!" Xiaoyao nodded, technically not lying.

“Is it her” Ling Xiao suddenly thought of someone—Fox Moonheart.

"Who You mean Fox Moonheart No, she’s not my boss. I really don’t have anything to do with her," replied Xiaoyao as he too recalled Fox Moonheart; apart from her, Ling Xiao hadn't seen anyone else.

“Fox Moonheart! You know Fox Moonheart” Wu Xuan Wen Yuan's face changed hearing that name—this was an unusual expression for a family head like him.
