Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You’re Mo Xiao, right? Then I’ll call you Little Mo,” Yao Shi’er said gently.
Mo Xiao nodded. “Senior, please go ahead.”
“No need to be so formal. You can call me Aunt Yao,” Yao Shier smiled.
Mo Xiao squinted slightly at her words, “Are you trying to get close to me, afraid that 1 might lie?”
Hearing this, Yao Shier first looked surprised, then her smile grew brighter.
“You’re quite cautious. Although I’d like to deny it, it’s true.”
“If you have something to ask, just ask directly. I have nothing to hide,” Mo Xiao said calmly.
Yao Shi’er nodded. “Alright, then I’ll ask directly. Is your name really Mo Xiao?” “I’ve been using that name for over a decade, and 1 don’t have any other name.” “Did you move to Yicheng Base City, or have you been living there since childhood?” Yao Shi’er continued to inquire.
“At least for as long as 1 can remember, I’ve always lived in Yicheng Base City. 𝔣𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝔪
As for before, I’m not sure,” Mo Xiao answered truthfully.
Yao Shi’er continued to ask, “What about your parents? Did they also stay in Yicheng Base City with you?”
“I don���t have parents. I’m just an orphan. I’ve been alone for as long as 1 can remember,” Mo Xiao said very calmly.
Hearing this, Yao Shi’er fell silent, and her gaze toward Mo Xiao seemed to hold something more. “You… have you never seen your parents or any other relatives since you were little?”
“No, I’ve always been on my own,” Mo Xiao replied.
“How old are you? When’s your birthday?” Yao Shi’er continued to ask.
Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned. “Why are you asking this?”
“Just treat it as gossip from a boring auntie,” Yao Shi’er said with a faint smile. “In the year 2697 of the Dragon Calendar, on September 1st,” Mo Xiao thought for a moment and decided to tell Yao Shier his birthday.
Upon hearing this time, Yao Shier nodded thoughtfully and then smiled, “Alright, 1 got it. Let’s go back.”
“That’s all? Don’t you have anything else to ask?” Mo Xiao asked in surprise.
Yao Shier chuckled, “What? Do you have something else to say?”
“No,” Mo Xiao shook his head. “But why did you ask all these questions in the first place?”
Yao Shier pondered for a moment and said, “Your appearance resembles someone I once knew… a friend. It’s just that I haven’t seen him in over a decade or two, so 1 asked a few extra questions.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, “And did you come to any conclusions?”
“I don’t know either. Just pretend 1 didn’t ask anything.” Yao Shi’er smiled, as if she didn’t want to continue this topic.
Looking at Yao Shi’er, who was obviously hiding something, Mo Xiao frowned and looked at her quietly.
Seeing this, Yao Shi’er sighed softly and said, “It’s not good for you to know some things now.”
“If it really has something to do with me, then I should know, no matter what the impact is,” Mo Xiao said seriously.
Although he was a transmigrator, after such a long time, Mo Xiao had completely treated himself as a person of this world.
He was already the Mo Xiao of this world.
How could an orphan not be curious about his background?
Yao Shi’er’s words today clearly indicated that she knew something, so Mo Xiao naturally wouldn’t give up just like that.
Looking at Mo Xiao’s serious expression, Yao Shi’er said faintly, “You really want to know?”
“Yes…”
“Alright, I’ll give you a chance,” Yao Shier looked at Mo Xiao and said calmly, “As long as you can meet the criteria we set for you, I’ll tell you everything 1 know. How about that?”
“Alright, it’s a deal,” Mo Xiao agreed without thinking.
Yao Shi’er looked at Mo Xiao’s confident appearance and smiled in satisfaction,
“Alright, let’s go back. Otherwise, Jin’er will be anxious.”
As she spoke, Yao Shi’er turned around and flew towards Su Jin’er’s location.
While flying, she secretly turned around to look at Mo Xiao, but a hint of seriousness surfaced in her eyes.
“Master! What did you say to Mo Xiao!” Seeing that Mo Xiao and Yao Shi’er had returned, Su Jin’er hurriedly went up to them and asked, “What’s the matter that you have to avoid us?”
Yao Shi’er glanced at Mo Xiao and said, “It’s nothing. We just chatted a little and made a bet with Xiao Mo.”
“A bet? What are you betting on?” Su Jin’er suddenly became excited.
“It’s nothing. 1 just want to see if he can fulfill the conditions we set,” Yao Shi’er said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Su Jin’er was greatly disappointed. “Huh? We’re just going to talk about this? Was it necessary to keep it a secret from us?”
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to know some things about boys, so I avoided it,” Yao Shi’er made up nonsense.
When Su Jin’er heard this, her eyes instantly widened, and her face was filled with displeasure. “Forget it! If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it!”
After the few of them continued chatting for a while, Yao Shi’er wanted to catch up with Yan Zhantian and send the two of them away.
After the two of them left, Yan Zhantian asked, “What exactly did you ask?” “I did go and ask about daily life. It’s just a normal life situation,” Yao Shi’er said calmly.
When Yan Zhantian heard this, he snorted. “Don’t 1 know you? It might be true, but you should have obtained some incredible information from this, right? Ever since you came back, your expression hasn’t been good.”
“It’s not a big deal…” Yao Shi’er glanced at the departing Mo Xiao and said, “Do you still remember the first time we went to the Tianyuan Battlefield more than 10 years ago?”
“I remember. I remember that at that time, you seemed to have stepped on a trap and was teleported away. You seemed to have completed some trial and changed your profession to the current Archmage class,” Yan Zhantian said after thinking for a moment.
Yao Shi’er nodded and said, “That’s right. At that time, 1 encountered a boss that broke through a thousand levels.”
“A boss that broke through to level 1,000? How did you come out alive?!” Hearing this, Yan Zhantian was also stunned. “No, why didn’t you say this before?”
“I don’t know either. I only know that my profession was given to me by this horror,” Yao Shi’er said calmly. “Actually, I can’t remember what the boss told me at that time… 1 only remember that face.”
“Why? Is he very handsome? Is he as handsome as me?” Yan Zhantian asked with a smile.
“How should 1 put it? I can only say that it looks almost identical to this Mo Xiao…” Yao Shi’er said indifferently.
“The same appearance as Mo Xiao? A humanoid boss? So you’re asking Mo Xiao these questions today?” Yan Zhantian asked in confusion.
Yao Shi’er smiled bitterly and said, “There are some things I can’t tell you.. In short, I’m very confused now…”
