Grandpa Xiao Really Knows How to Play

While Xiao Yi Xian and Tian Huangzi were talking about why they targeted Xiao Yan, Feng Qing'er, who was serving nearby, was also listening intently.

To be honest, she was also very curious about the answer to this question.

It was truly perplexing to her that her Young Master, a man of such high moral character and refined manners, would inexplicably target a nobody like Xiao Yan.

However, as Maid, she couldn't very well ask about the reason behind it!

Therefore, when Xiao Yi Xian asked her about it, she was naturally very interested in the answer.

But to be fair, she still greatly admired her Young Master eye.

Back then, at the Four Pavilions Assembly, Xiao Yan could only manage a draw with her.

But this time when they met, the other party had actually broken through to the Six-Star Dou Venerable, which was truly beyond her expectations!

You should know that she has the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and her own Young Master behind her!

How could the Starfall Pavilion behind Xiao Yan possibly compare to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?

Furthermore, although she had become her Young Master's Maid, Young Master was genuinely kind to her.

Not only did she inherit many of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's Dou Techniques, but she also used her own Essence Blood to cleanse herself multiple times.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to break through to the Three-Star Dou Venerable.

However, even so, Xiao Yan's advancement was faster than hers, how could this not make her feel frustrated?

At the same time, this further confirms our Young Master's discerning eye!

Perhaps because she became Tian Huangzi's Maid, and because Xiao Yan was someone her Young Master valued, Feng Qing'er didn't act as arrogantly as Original Work in the original story when facing Xiao Yan in this life.

After all, if she continued to look down on Xiao Yan as she did in the Original Work, wouldn't she be questioning her Young Master's judgment?

Feng Qing'er isn't that stupid!

That's why Feng Qing'er was so interested in the conversation between Xiao Yi Xian and Tian Huangzi.

However, as the two chatted, the atmosphere seemed to become a little awkward.

At the same time, when Xiao Yi Xian asked Tian Huangzi if he knew Xiao Yan's other identity, the latter simply smiled and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian's face immediately darkened.

If Tian Huangzi knew Xiao Yan's identity and still did this, it would somewhat confirm her initial suspicions.

This is the last thing Xiao Yi Xian wanted to see!

"Xiao Yi Xian, are you trying to say that Xiao Yan is the Palace Master's grandson?"

Tian Huangzi said this very casually.

However, precisely because of this, Xiao Yi Xian's anger was rising rapidly.

Xiao Yan is the person she likes, Grandpa Xiao is the person she respects. Now that Tian Huangzi knows all this, he can still act so indifferent. How could she not be angry!

Even with Xiao Yi Xian's good temper, she couldn't hold back at this moment.

As for Feng Qing'er, her eyes widened in astonishment upon learning Xiao Yan's true identity.

No, is our Young Master secretly targeting our Palace Master's grandson?

What an incredible plot twist!

Also, why is Xiao Yan the grandson of his own Palace Master?

Are these secrets something a lowly Maid like myself should know?

Afterwards, will the Young Master silence me?

At this moment, Feng Qing'er's heart was already filled with unease.

Initially, she was indeed very curious about this.

But right now, how she wishes she were deaf!

That way, she won't have to know any of these terrifying secrets.

For the first time, Feng Qing'er realized that sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing!

She even started to fantasize about what would happen if her Palace Master found out about this.

Well, she didn't know what would happen to her young Young Master, but she knew she was most likely dead.

After all, although the order to target Xiao Yan was given by her Young Master, it was she who carried out the action!

A look of utter despair crept onto Feng Qing'er's face.

She felt like she was doomed anyway.

Although she hadn't personally witnessed her Palace Master's abilities, hadn't the arrival and departure of the six clans at the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace some time ago revealed that her Palace Master possessed at least the strength of Three-Star Dou Sheng?

But she's only a minor Three-Star Dou Venerable right now, what can she possibly use to fight back?

Waiting to die seems to be her only option.

Not only that, Feng Qing'er, just like Xiao Yi Xian, was also imagining a whole bunch of conspiracy theories about why her young Young Master did this.

Otherwise, this matter cannot be explained!

What other reason could there be for their Young Master, the sect's Chief Disciple, to secretly target their own Palace Master's grandson?

Let alone Feng Qing'er and Xiao Yi Xian, anyone without an omniscient perspective would probably come up with a conclusion that wouldn't be much better than what the two women imagined!

"Senior Brother! Since you knew Xiao Yan's identity, why did you still do this? Do you realize the consequences of your actions...?"

Leaving aside Feng Qing'er's overthinking, Xiao Yi Xian was unusually furious at this moment.

It's truly remarkable that the usually quiet and gentle Xiao Yi Xian could get this angry.

To be honest, Xiao Yi Xian was even a little reluctant to call him "Senior Brother" at this point.

In her view, Tian Huangzi's actions were undoubtedly excessive!

However, before she could finish speaking, Tian Huangzi's next words completely shut her down.

"The Palace Master told me to do this!"

Tian Huangzi shrugged, interrupting Xiao Yi Xian's next words with a helpless expression.

Xiao Yi Xian and Feng Qing'er: "?"

Upon hearing Tian Huangzi's words, the two women were immediately dumbfounded.

What do you mean, "The Palace Master told you to do this"?

"Senior Brother, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you repeat it?"

After blinking once, Xiao Yi Xian looked somewhat adorable.

Clearly, Tian Huangzi's words had left her somewhat bewildered.

Seeing this, Tian Huangzi revealed an expression that was both helpless and as if he had expected it.

"I said, it wasn't actually me targeting Xiao Yan; it was a task assigned to me by the Palace Master! For this, the Palace Master even gave me a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill as a reward!"

Tell me, how could I refuse?

Because in Tian Huangzi's eyes, both Xiao Yi Xian and Feng Qing'er were his own people, he just told the truth without reservation.

"Huh? This... why would Grandpa Xiao do such a thing?"

Having recovered from her dazed state, Xiao Yi Xian still wore an expression of disbelief.

She felt this was a bit too far-fetched, but Tian Huangzi's expression didn't seem fake, which left Xiao Yi Xian completely bewildered.

"What? Xiao Yi Xian, you don't believe me? In that case, you can ask the Palace Master yourself when Palace Master returns next time. As for why the Palace Master did this, I have no idea."

But I can tell that the Palace Master has a special expectation for Xiao Yan, and that might be related to this.

After shrug, Tian Huangzi told Xiao Yi Xian everything he knew without reservation.

"No... I naturally believe what Senior Brother said. Hmm~, so it was Grandpa Xiao himself..."

In this matter, Xiao Yi Xian did not believe that Tian Huangzi would lie, because it would be meaningless.

However, she was somewhat dumbfounded when she realized that the truth was actually like this.

But considering my Grandpa Xiao's personality, it seems... quite reasonable for the other party to do this!

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian could only exclaim: Grandpa Xiao really knows how to have fun!
