Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

A dog that bites often does not bark, especially when Peng Yuhu always carries a folding fan and presents himself as a refined gentleman, which easily reminds Hou Yuxiao of his Old Fifth.

Such people, when they harbor ill intentions, it's truly frightening. Without taking precautions, one would undoubtedly suffer a great loss.

...

The entire cabin was divided into two sections, the first was above the deck. The buildings that were clearly well-regulated and with exquisite appearances indicated that this area was meant for individuals of high status, and there was another section below the deck, which housed accompanying stables and ordinary

cabins.

The largest ship in Shenzhou could transport over 30,000 people at once, and this ship's specifications were similar to those capable of carrying 30,000, but its actual capacity was only a little over 10,000, indicating it wasn't a warship but a common transport ship, with a large portion of its space dedicated to improving the cabin surroundings.

The ship was chartered by the Rakshasa Holy Sect. Apart from over a hundred people from the Lu Family who were tasked with navigating and leading the way, the rest were members of the Holy Church. After briefly scanning, Hou Yuxiao estimated there were about seven to eight thousand people, meaning that excluding the Hou Family, Zhan Taiqing must be accompanied by over seven thousand people.

Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly. He had originally thought that bringing over four hundred people was impressive, but he did not expect Zhan Taiqing's number to be nearly twenty times his.

This woman, her style was truly grand!

Although he thought so, his actions were very practical. After spending just over ten slices of time to investigate the state of the ship, he immediately headed for the highest cabin on the deck.

That cabin was not only the highest on the deck, but also towered over all other structures, and moreover, there were over twenty Gang Qi Realm guards stationed at the door, among them five or six maidservants going in and out—no need to think about it, Zhan Taiqing was definitely inside.

As Hou Yuxiao approached, the guards immediately looked over, but he did not intrude rashly. Seeing a maid in black just coming out, he nonchalantly stepped forward to stop her, and asked in a low voice,

"I am Hou Yuxiao, here to report back to the Master. Please inform her for me."

The maid had a graceful short sword hanging at her waist. The moment Hou Yuxiao approached, she had already placed her hand on the sword handle. Hearing Hou Yuxiao's words, she turned around, her face suddenly showing a trace of odd expression.

Hou Yuxiao, thinking he had stopped a regular maid, and noticing her looking at him, looked up to see the young maiden's face, which immediately crossed with a touch of astonishment.

The maid appeared to be under twenty, and although dressed in black, it did not conceal her exquisitely shaped figure. Her fair face, paired with delicate features, made her looks definitely first-class.

More importantly, her big round eyes were staring at him, and there was a clear smile in her gaze, leaving Hou Yuxiao somewhat confused.

He considered himself handsome, but surely a woman wouldn't stare at him like this upon their first meeting, right?

"Sister, is there something on my face?"

The maid, awakened by Hou Yuxiao's words, did not show any embarrassment. Instead, she hid her smiling eyes and said softly, "Please wait here, I'll go and inform the Master."

"Thank you, Sister."

Watching the maid walk back inside, Hou Yuxiao's gaze revealed contemplation. He wasn't conceited enough to think the maid fancied him, but her reaction was indeed abnormal. It was normal for people from Rakshasa Holy Sect, particularly in Yongzhou, to recognize him, but there was no need to smile the first time they met, right?

The only explanation was that the maid not only recognized him but also had some understanding of him, or perhaps they had interacted before?

Hou Yuxiao then tried to recall any previous encounters with members of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, but after a long while, he couldn't remember ever seeing this maid. Only when the maid came out again and he saw her for the second time, was he sure he had never met this maid before.

"The Master said, once the Head of the Hou Family arrives, everything is set. The journey is long, and we will be on this ship for at least a month. She will summon you whenever necessary, letting the Head of the Hou Family..."

The maid paused here and Hou Yuxiao, seeing her expression turn odd, curiously asked, "What instruction has the Master given, Sister? Please feel free to tell me!"

"She said, the Head of the Hou Family should behave himself on the ship."

Hou Yuxiao's face stiffened, remembering that he was on this ship following her across mountains and waters to Zhongzhou because she had forced him. Now, just before departure, this woman still had to warn him, suddenly overwhelming him with frustration.

But fearing that the maid might complain to Zhan Taiqing, he dared not show his anger and only managed to say with composure, "Mr. Hou understands, and will surely heed the Master's instructions."

The maid watched Hou Yuxiao turn and leave, clearly perceiving his mood and concealing a light laugh by covering her mouth, then she turned back into the cabin.

Zhan Taiqing's cabin had only a main hall for receiving guests and an internal bedroom, separated by a long corridor with few furnishings, making it appear rather simple. The main hall was empty, and the maid walked straight through the corridor into the bedroom.

"Aunt Qing, you do not like this Hou Yuxiao, do you?"

"Although he is capable, he is deeply cunning, excels at scheming, and shows no respect for our Holy Church. Moreover, he colludes with The Righteous Path frequently, conspiring behind our backs. Keeping such a menace benefits us in no way! Were it not for the fact that he has helped me twice and Yue'er values him so greatly, I would have eliminated him with a single palm strike long ago, hmph!"
