Mu Nanxun pulled Yi Yi up from the ground and dragged her out of the study, insisting, "No, look, it's already dark outside. How can you find what you need if you're starving? Besides, this study is so big, it's not like you can just find it anywhere."

Yi Yi silently followed behind Mu Nanxun, her mood anything could do to improve her situation.

When the two arrived at the restaurant downstairs, Li Ma had already prepared the dishes and placed them on the table.

"Sit down and eat properly."

Mu Nanxun led Yi Yi to the dining table and set out the tableware for her.

Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Mu Wenya asked in confusion, "Yi Yi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? These are all your favorite dishes."

In the past, Yi would have been happily devouring her food long ago. Today, however, she remained unmoved, staring at the table full of delicious food.

Yi picked up a fragrant piece of pork rib and put it to her mouth, but she had no appetite, so she put it back into her own bowl.

"Sister Wenya, you guys eat first, I'm not hungry."

"Not hungry? How is that possible? You didn't eat anything for lunch, and it's dinner time now. Are you sick? Maybe we should call a doctor to take a look."

"No, I'm not sick. I just couldn't find the book and I didn't have an appetite."

Originally, she wasn't in such a hurry to know the origins and secrets of her race, but what she saw this morning piqued her intense curiosity. So she desperately wanted to know everything about the Spirit Fox Clan. Unfortunately, it ended halfway through, leaving her wanting more.

Mu Wenya still didn't know what book Yi Yi was talking about, and looked at Mu Nanxun with suspicion, "When did Yi Yi become so fond of studying? If she wants to read a book, just buy her another one. Why go through all this trouble to turn the whole study upside down?"

Mu Nanxun explained helplessly, "She's looking for a Latin classic. There's only the first volume in the study, not the second. This book is quite old, and its original print run was very limited, so it's probably not available on the market now."

"So that's how it is."

"Young Master, Miss, don't we still have many old books back at our old house?" Uncle Zhang interjected.

"The old house?"

"That's right, young master. You forgot, when we moved here from the old house, there were too many books to move, so we left quite a few at the old house. Last month, when I sent people to clean there, they also cleaned the study inside and out of the old house. They found a lot of books that looked old and worn. Maybe Miss Yi will want some of them."

Upon hearing this, Yi's eyes lit up, and she immediately beamed with joy. "Uncle Zhang, are you telling the truth?"

"This, this can't possibly be fake."

"That's great!" Yi Yi was so happy she almost jumped up from her chair. "Mu Mu, please take me to your family's old house. I must find that book!"

Mu Nanxun touched his chin and nodded, "Okay."

"That's great..."

Just as Yi Yi was about to jump up and give Mu Nanxun a "high five in perfect unison," the latter suddenly added calmly, "But..."

Hmm, but...?

"But it's too late today, and you haven't eaten all day. Eat first, get a good night's sleep, and go to work as usual tomorrow. After get off work, I'll take you to the old house and we'll look for it together."

"no problem!"

"Yi Yi, how dare you bring a human back! Don't you know that humans are the most cruel and cunning race in the world?!"
