Chapter 90

...

The two of them lay by the window, silent.

After about ten minutes, the other two people came out of the hotel.

Qin Yuyan quietly said,

"Earlier when she went in, she seemed to be wearing black stockings, but now they're gone."

Ye Xiao nodded.

"Her knees are also red."

"I don't want to see him anymore."

"I don't want to see her anymore either."

"Then let's go."

Qin Yuyan spoke calmly, and Ye Xiao nodded again.

The two quickly left the breakfast shop and came to the street, where the air was much better.

Qin Yuyan took a deep breath, feeling much more relaxed.

"Are you going home now?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"I'm going to the library to read books."

Qin Yuyan couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

"Aren't you always reading books when you work at the library? Why do you still read books on your days off?"

Ye Xiao spoke calmly,

"There's nothing else to do, so what else would I do but read books?"

"Um... Is there anything special about reading books? For example, does it affect martial cultivation?"

"Probably, isn't there a saying? 'Reading ten thousand books, cultivation as if by a god!'?"

"Is there such a saying?"

Qin Yuyan couldn't help but frown slightly. She felt like the saying wasn't exactly like that.

But it might be that she remembered it wrong.

"Since that's the case, I'll go back then."

Ye Xiao didn't try to stop her.

"Okay, see you later."

After a brief, calm sentence, he turned and left, with Huan Liuli on his shoulder waving her little paw at Qin Yuyan.

Qin Yuyan smiled, waved her little hand, and turned to leave.

This small incident didn't affect Ye Xiao's mood at all.

He didn't want to go on a blind date in the first place, and he didn't care what the other person did.

What he cared about was going to the library to read about his alchemy techniques and then study alchemy properly.

However, finding alchemy techniques wasn't very smooth.

There were many books on alchemy in the library, but the variety was limited.

Ye Xiao had occasionally read one before, but until now, the Golden Book had only collected five in total.

This number was probably still short of several types needed for fusion.

As noon approached, Director Ouyang walked over, his face clearly displeased.

"Ye Xiao, why did you leave on your own this morning? Linlin said she couldn't find you no matter where she looked?"

Ye Xiao closed the book, his face indifferent,

"When I went over this morning, I met Miss Qin Yuyan. She was also going on a blind date, and then we saw your granddaughter Linlin and her blind date partner enter the hotel. If the director doesn't believe me, you can call Miss Qin to confirm."

Ouyang Yunzhong's old face instantly turned dark.

"Is that true?"

Ye Xiao nodded.

"I have no reason to lie to you."

After staring at Ye Xiao carefully and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, his expression eased, and he apologized to Ye Xiao.

"Sorry, Xiao Ye, I didn't expect this to happen. It's my fault."

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"Director, there's no need to blame yourself. After all, she's just your granddaughter, not someone you raised from scratch. It's understandable that you don't know her well."

"Regardless, it's still my fault. Here, I have a membership card for the Flower Theater breakfast. There's still some money on it. Consider it as some compensation for you."

Ouyang Yunzhong, without further ado, stuffed a card into Ye Xiao's pocket.

Then, his gaze fell on the book Ye Xiao was reading, and he couldn't help but exclaim,

"Oh, you're reading about alchemy?"

"Yep, I've been interested in it lately."

"Learning alchemy is pretty good. Your cultivation is relatively low, and you haven't awakened your divine soul, so it's not suitable for you to cultivate combat techniques. But if you can cultivate alchemy techniques, or alchemy techniques, or healing techniques, you'll have many more job options even if you leave the library in the future."

Ouyang Yunzhong picked up the book.

"This alchemy technique is just at the ordinary level. Alchemy techniques are quite broad, but advanced alchemy techniques are always controlled by a very few places.

Our library has a limited collection. If you were at the Shaolin Martial Arts Academy, you would definitely learn some more advanced alchemy techniques.

I'm not lying to you. You know, human cultivation techniques are all derived from the star cores of star beasts.

And Shaolin has long cultivated many strong individuals to fight in the star battlefield, hunting many powerful star beasts, thus obtaining a large number of star cores and researching many cultivation techniques.

After thousands of years of development, the people of Shaolin have both joined the military and formed their own independent mercenary groups, slaying more and more star beasts and obtaining more and more cultivation techniques.

Therefore, in our Nine States, there is the saying, 'All martial arts come from Shaolin.'

You should really consider it."

Ye Xiao's face remained as indifferent as ever, completely unmoved.

"I know my limits, so there's no need for me to make a fool of myself."

The Shaolin Martial Arts Academy might be great, but going to school has many rules.

Where else can you be as free as in the library?

You don't have to do anything, and you still get paid!

Is there a better job than this?

Besides, he only needed to study cultivation techniques of the same origin, not overly advanced ones.

Before, Fa Zheng gave him the Golden Bell Cover, and after the Golden Book learned it, it only extracted its basic technique.

As long as it didn't affect his strength, it didn't matter where he was.

Ouyang Yunzhong sighed slightly. She truly felt sorry for Ye Xiao.

It's not easy for ordinary people to get into the Shaolin Martial Arts Academy in Chuzhou.

And Ye Xiao was wasting such a good opportunity.

"Alright, I just feel sorry for you and couldn't help but advise you.

Since you don't want to go to Shaolin, why don't you go to the upper floors of the library? There are some better alchemy techniques there."

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback, looking at Ouyang Yunzhong, who smiled,

"Don't look at me like that. Although your strength isn't enough to go to the upper floors, I'll allow it. After all, you're one of the old-timers at the library. Besides, I feel a bit embarrassed about the blind date thing going this way."

"Thank you, Director."

Ye Xiao didn't bother with formalities.

He didn't care if the techniques on the upper floors were strong or weak; what he cared about was whether their origin was special and different from the techniques he was currently cultivating.

Then, he could cultivate a few more alchemy techniques and eventually fuse them into an extremely powerful technique.

Ouyang Yunzhong smiled.

"No problem, go ahead. But don't forget to eat lunch. Reading all day is bad for your health."

"Got it."

Ye Xiao responded, took the list, and quickly went to the fourth floor of the library.
