ew days to see how your cultivation technique and martial art skills are progressing. The Crown Princess should not recover for another two days.""Ah, that's great!" Glorious Star exclaimed in delight...Chapter 478: Curse 2

"Who are you Can you play football Don’t come and cause trouble!" The leader of the red team said, as they had already divided into two teams.

"You guys really don't know what a catch I am. You'll regret it! I'm joining the white team!" Leisurely Cloud left this parting remark before deciding to join the white team so that later on, the members of the red team would deeply regret their decision.

"Go away, go away. Go and watch over there. We already have a full roster. Even if we were to accept substitutes, we wouldn't want someone like you." The leader of the white team waved Leisurely Cloud off as he told him that it was his turn to spectate.

"You guys are all blind! I wish you would both lose!" Leisurely Cloud cursed them furiously.

"Haha, Le Xiaoyao, you're really amusing. I also got rejected. You don't need to be angry anymore. Also, it's impossible for both of us to lose, since there must be a winner." Lu Baochai laughed as she found him very amusing. The ladies beside her were secretly giggling too.

"A draw means that you both lose!" Leisurely Cloud wasn't bothered by their laughter but stared at the two teams and cursed them, wishing that they would have bad results.

"You might be right…" Lu Baochai smiled. However, she didn’t believe his words since a tie was too unlikely to happen.

But the result left Lu Baochai stunned. The red and white teams actually ended up in a draw and began arguing over it. They even got violent towards each other, resulting in a brawl breaking out between them.

"See Didn't I say both of you would end up losing This is the result of not letting me participate!" Leisurely Cloud gloated.

“…” Lu Baochai and others were speechless. The outcome was indeed a loss for both sides as drawing meant nothing if they started fighting. Naturally, it would be considered that both teams lost.

Might this mean that his curse had worked

Soon, the brawl was stopped by Lu Family's Fifth Young Master and other organizers who quickly calmed them down.

"Yo, don't worry if you're injured. I have the best first-aid medicine and energy pills at just one two-silver-tael coins each. Those interested should hurry up! The quantity is limited!"

Someone apparently found it too boring, so he went to hawk some of his medicinal pills…

"…" Lu Baochai and others were speechless again as the rest of them thought in unison: Who was this guy Wasn't he just piling on the insult by selling medicine at a time like this

“Get out!”

"You really don’t know what you’re doing. Be careful not to have any after-effects!" Someone cast another curse, causing members of both teams to almost revolt.

“Le Xiaoyao, you're really daring. You've offended quite a number of people and it's going to be very troublesome for you.” Lu Baochai said helplessly.

"They were the ones who offended me first by not letting me join the cuju game!" Leisurely Cloud seemed pretty upset as he was initially full of excitement when he went to participate but ended up being rejected. It's understandable that he would be upset.

“To offend them just because of this, you’re acting too frivolously,” Lu Baochai sighed in resignation, knowing very well how these matters worked.

"What do I have to fear from them These people are still under the protection of their parents and families. When they grow up, then we'll talk about it. They're not worth anything now." Leisurely Cloud said nonchalantly. He really didn’t take those people seriously; or to put it another way, none of these young masters and misses were worth his time.

“Alright, you’re impressive. You’re amazing!” Lu Baochai shot a look at Leisurely Cloud who she felt was being arrogant. However, she did not think that any trouble would come out of him offending others since they had the Lu Family to protect them. At least nothing big.

At this moment, it seemed as if there was another stamp on Leisurely Cloud’s body: Arrogant and ignorant of social norms.

If a perfect score was one hundred points, then he was already at negative fifty—negative twenty wasn’t even good enough. A zero would be better than that in his case.

This was the view these young misses held towards him. This perspective virtually decided that Leisurely Cloud wouldn't have any success with matchmaking this time and might even get some counterproductive results from it.

These girls would sooner or later spread the news around, and rumors would travel fast. Within an hour, almost all of the women who were here already knew about him, and he became a prime example of what not to do in matchmaking.

In fact, due to his strong contrast, it actually brought some people together who wouldn’t normally see eye-to-eye, and they should give Leisurely Cloud a big matchmaker’s red envelope!

"Why are these women looking at me as if I'm their lover" While climbing Mt. Dengyuanhua, Leisurely Cloud suddenly said this because he saw many of the women staring at him with strange looks.

“Humph…”

The people around him instantly burst into laughter upon hearing Leisurely Cloud’s remark.

"Cough cough... Le Xiaoyao, they're actually looking down on you. Your self-esteem is too high." Lu Baochai was walking beside Leisurely Cloud as she felt that he was amusing to talk to and very interesting.

“Why look down on me Is it because I'm dressed more normally than you are” Leisurely Cloud said.

"…, this…" Luo Baochai didn't know how to continue. Should she say that my sisters spread your story around, and everyone knows you're a negative score contrast character.

"Stop joking around, let's climb the mountain first. The view from the top of Yanhu Mountain is very beautiful," another young lady said, diverting the topic as it would make them feel awkward to talk about this face-to-face.

"Yes, we can see the sunset while climbing," Xiaoyao said. "Is there a house on the peak We'll have to spend the night up here."

"There's a Yanhu Temple on top and not far from it is also a Taoist temple and a convent! But Yanhu Temple will be enough for us, as we often visit this place," Luo Baochai said.

“...Monks, Taoists, nuns…” Xiaoyao only noticed these three things.

"Le Xiao Yao, don't you get tired carrying such a big backpack Why not let the servants take it" At this moment, besides the servants, only Xiaoyao was carrying luggage, naturally arousing Luo Baochai's curiosity.

"Not at all tiring. For those who practice martial arts, these things don't weigh much. These are emergency items that I need to carry with me myself. You guys should also take some dry food with you. In case something happens in the wilderness, it would be a headache," Xiaoyao said.

"There's no way anything will happen here; there are so many people and we've been to this place before," Luo Baochai and her companions smiled at Xiaoyao’s words, not taking them seriously.

"You never know what could happen. And when it comes to emergencies, things can turn out in unpredictable ways," Xiaoyao said solemnly.

"Then you keep carrying it. If something happens, you'll have to take care of us then," Luo Baochai and her companions said with a smile.

"No way, laugh brothers don't take care!"

“…”

The group laughed their way up the mountain. The entire view suddenly opened up, giving them a feeling of standing atop all lesser mountains—though it was only slightly so since this wasn’t an exceptionally high peak.

Atop the summit stood a pavilion built on a wondrous terrain making those inside feel as if they were floating above. Looking down from the pavilion revealed a landscape painted golden by rape blossoms and winding rivers, creating a beautiful picture.

This pavilion was one of Yanhu Mountain's major scenic spots called 'Supreme Pavilion'. Few dared to ascend it due to the constant feeling of potentially falling off at any moment.

"Eh I can see Flowing Moon City from here, and even my family’s estate," Xiaoyao observed while atop. He noticed the distant Flowing Moon City seemed near, just appearing slightly smaller.

"Of course!" Luo Baochai said. At this moment, it appeared only they two were in the pavilion; others had entered Yanhu Temple to rest.

This was natural since they weren’t first-timers here. Although not all arrived together each time, everyone had visited numerous times before. The pavilion might have been novel at their initial visit but now held no interest for them anymore. Most importantly, they were tired and needed rest.

"I can see my courtyard with the千裡eye. If used to monitor Flowing Moon City from here, it would be a great spot!" Xiaoyao pulled out a千裡eye (similar to binoculars), an outcome of mechanical artistry that could rival modern telescopes in quality.

“You have a千裡eye Let me see! Let me see!” Luo Baochai excitedly called out, reaching for the千裡eye Xiaoyao was holding.

"Here!" Xiaoyao said somewhat irritably. If you want to take it, I'll lend it to you.

“Wow, so clear! I can see my courtyard and even the people inside... it should be Mother…”

"The people in there are as tiny as ants; how could you recognize them" Xiaoyao said irritably. While千裡eyes have excellent effects, they’re not that good.

“It’s a woman's intuition! You wouldn’t understand!”

“…”

"Oh right, Le Xiao Yao, where did you get this千裡eye It looks quite advanced. Even better than my father’s," Luo Baochai asked with some puzzlement.

"I made it myself!" Xiaoyao replied.

“You’re boasting again…” Luo Baochai said irritably.

"Believe me if you want. I’ll go into the temple for a look, give this back to me when you're done with it." Xiaoyao wasn’t bothered by her words and treated the千裡eye as an ordinary item—though Luo Baochai knew its value since mechanical artistry isn't easy, especially high-quality ones like these.

“Okay then,” Luo Baochai didn’t seem to mind much. Perhaps she felt Xiaoyao trusted her as family, so having it was fine with him.

"Baochai, let me have a look too; I want to see my home."

Once Xiaoyao left, Luo Baochai's companions became active and asked for the千裡eye. Previously, they had seemed indifferent to taking anything from Xiaoyao.
