Full Time Servant

"Damn! This Young Master meant for you to become my subordinate, not that kind of thing." Cousin Young Master said with slight anger.

"Ah, so that's what you wanted, Cousin Young Master! You should have said so earlier - you scared me to death. I thought you had those kinds of hobbies." Xiaoyao patted his chest with a relieved expression.

"You're the one thinking wild thoughts - what does that have to do with me? Do you think people with those hobbies are just everywhere?" Cousin Young Master said somewhat irritably.

Xiaoyao shook his head slightly at this moment and said: "I've actually seen it, and I see it quite often, so I was a bit afraid..."

The person Xiaoyao was referring to was none other than the Young Miss. She was the one who liked this sort of thing, and because of that, he felt that among the Mo family members, there should be similar people appearing.

This thing should also have hereditary possibilities, probably.

"No matter who you've seen, I don't want to know. I only want to know whether you'll follow me or not." Cousin Young Master had no great interest in discussing these matters with Xiaoyao and asked very directly.

"Sorry, I'm doing quite well now and don't want to become your subordinate. I appreciate your kind offer though." Xiaoyao shook his head, refusing Cousin Young Master's proposal.

"Think about it carefully. You're currently just a low-ranking servant. If you follow me, I'll definitely make you a high-ranking servant, and after that, if I achieve results, you'll definitely get opportunities for promotion." Cousin Young Master spoke very directly - perhaps he felt there wasn't much to say to a small servant like Xiaoyao.

"You said it yourself - I'm just a low-ranking servant. You could find any high-ranking servant at random, so why come looking for me?" Xiaoyao asked somewhat strangely. Such proactive behavior seemed like something only that bored Young Miss had done before, and she was merely bored.

"I have my reasons for liking you. You should be Third Brother's benefactor, or perhaps you're just one of them who's still being overlooked, but I know your abilities. You're definitely not an ordinary small servant." Cousin Young Master said.

Although Xiaoyao kept a very low profile and didn't attract attention, he couldn't become invisible after all, so he would still be noticed by a small number of people. This was also unavoidable.

Incidentally, this Cousin Young Master was older than even the Young Miss. Compared to the Mo family's direct lineage generation, he was the eldest, at least in terms of age.

At the same time, he always directly addressed others as "brother this" and "sister that," never adding the word "cousin." Although this purpose was quite obvious, not many people bothered with this matter.

"Cousin Young Master, you flatter me too much. I'm just an ordinary small servant, ordinary from head to toe, with no special abilities." Xiaoyao shook his head in response.

Speaking of this, Xiaoyao indeed had no special abilities. What he knew, everyone else knew too - it's just that he knew a bit more and was a bit more proficient.

"Others might be fooled by you, but I won't be. What you've done for Third Brother is definitely not coincidental or accidental, nor is it something an ordinary person could do." Cousin Young Master said calmly.

"About that, I think you're wrong. That was indeed accidental..." Xiaoyao answered very honestly. Everything regarding the Third Young Master was just a coincidence. If he hadn't happened to appear, he wouldn't have deliberately done those things.

"Even if it was accidental, it's not something an ordinary person could do. You're extraordinary." Cousin Young Master looked at Xiaoyao, still maintaining that same expression.

"I admit this point. I am extraordinary, but it doesn't seem worth you trying to poach me. Could it be you just want one more person who's not much..." Xiaoyao said.

"Exactly, you're a perceptive person. Since you've already seen through it, I'll speak directly, everything that can help me achieve my goals, I'll want it all. One more isn't much." Cousin Young Master said. "But I'll definitely give you what you want and let you stand at the pinnacle of humanity."

"That's not what I want. As I said before, thank you for your kind offer, but I can't accept it." Xiaoyao said indifferently. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

"..." Cousin Young Master fell silent for a while. He discovered he seemed to have misjudged. This servant before him apparently wasn't so easy to win over.

Thinking about it, if it were that easy, then he'd be an ordinary person, and why would he himself bother spending this effort to make him his subordinate.

"Good, very good. This makes it interesting. This is the kind of person I want."

"I advise you not to have any designs on me. I'm already someone who has a master..." Xiaoyao said. He knew the other party definitely wouldn't give up, so he straightforwardly pointed out the key issue.

However, at this moment, he seemed to realize his words sounded quite ambiguous, especially when combined with the other party's words - it was even more so.

"Pfft..." A certain bored eavesdropper laughed again, but this time she laughed very carefully without being detected by anyone.

"Ahem, what I mean is I have a boss, so even if you made me prime minister, it would be equally useless." Xiaoyao restated.

"Have a boss? What do you mean? Are you saying you already have a master?" Cousin Young Master was somewhat confused. Like many others, he didn't know that Xiaoyao actually had a boss. To make him become his subordinate, he'd first need to resolve his relationship with his boss.

"That's no problem either. Who is your master? I'll find them and have them remove you to make you masterless." Cousin Young Master immediately thought of a solution. This method was very direct and also quite ruthless.

Someone who already had a master naturally couldn't be taken, but if that person's master no longer wanted them, then everything would be fine.

As for making the other party's master not want them, there were many methods for this, threats, bribes, and other approaches could all be used. With Cousin Young Master's forceful nature, he would definitely use threats more often.

Within this Mo family, he believed no one would make things difficult for him over Xiaoyao, a low-ranking servant, even if Xiaoyao's master was the Mo family Great Master, he would have ways to obtain him.

Of course, regarding the Mo family Great Master, he definitely wouldn't use threats but would use his identity as grandson to make requests. The Mo family Great Master usually quite doted on this grandson of his because he had high talent and good fortune.

Well, that latter point was very important, at least to the Mo family Great Master.

"You want to find her? That's certainly possible, but you should be careful. She's very fierce." Xiaoyao looked at Cousin Young Master and said with a smile.

Originally, Xiaoyao didn't want people to meet his boss, but at this moment he felt that perhaps meeting someone wouldn't be bad. This way it would at least be livelier - New Year's Eve was in a couple days, and there should be some festive atmosphere. Even if someone came to make trouble, it was better than cold emptiness.

"Fierce? Hmph, we'll see who can be fierce to whom when the time comes." Cousin Young Master said very proudly.

At this moment, Cousin Young Master didn't know that the "fierce" Xiaoyao mentioned wasn't actually about personality, but about something else entirely...

"Well then, Cousin Young Master, I'm going to work. Take care." Xiaoyao said, then wanted to leave to continue doing what he had been about to do.

"Stop! Aren't you coming with me?" Cousin Young Master called out to Xiaoyao, questioning him.

Xiaoyao shook his head and said calmly: "I have work to do. You're the one who wants to meet my boss, so naturally you should go yourself."

"You will take me there." Cousin Young Master spoke with a somewhat commanding tone.

"Sorry, I don't have time, and even if I did, I couldn't take you to see my boss. You can look for her, but you must go yourself, no one will take you there." Xiaoyao said faintly.

"What do you mean?" Cousin Young Master couldn't understand Xiaoyao's words at all.

"Go investigate yourself. The head butler will have my information. Other than there, you don't need to look anywhere else. It's useless." Xiaoyao gave straightforward guidance, not letting Cousin Young Master go down the wrong path. This was all he could do.

Regarding his boss's information, he couldn't speak directly because his boss was a taboo, not something a small servant like him could discuss. If investigated, there would be trouble.

Although Xiaoyao wasn't afraid of trouble, he also wouldn't deliberately create trouble for himself.

"Are you saying your master isn't an ordinary person?"

"You'll know once you investigate. If after knowing, you still don't want to give up, then go meet my boss. She would very much like to see you all..." Xiaoyao spoke faintly, his tone revealing a trace of light sorrow.

For whom was he sorrowful? Was it for the Cousin Young Master before him, or for his boss? Or someone else...

The bored person hiding in the shadows was puzzled, but soon she gave up on this puzzle because she faced a problem. Who should she follow next?

Obviously, Xiaoyao and Cousin Young Master would part ways next.

Following Cousin Young Master would definitely let her know the answer, and know who Xiaoyao's boss was. This was something the hidden bored person urgently wanted to know too. Following Cousin Young Master to investigate would solve her confusion.

However, in the end she still chose to follow Xiaoyao, because she felt knowing too early would be no fun. It was better to hang around with Xiaoyao and pass the boring time.

So she secretly followed Xiaoyao. However, her "secretly" was only relative to Xiaoyao, many people saw her behavior and showed confused expressions, not knowing what this Young Miss was doing again.

Well, this bored person was, needless to say, Young Miss Mo Yu. In the entire Mo family, only she would be this bored.

"Young Miss..."

"Shh. Go away, don't let me be exposed," The Young Miss waved her hand at the person beside her. She had said this many times along the way and was getting used to it.

However, this time seemed somewhat different.

"Huh, strange. Where did that Xiaoyao kid go? How come I can't find any trace of him?" The Young Miss's head turned back and forth, searching for the person she was looking for.

"Young Miss, I'm right here!" came a voice from behind her. It was Xiaoyao, the person the Young Miss was looking for.
