Chapter 33 Blind Date

Wu Yumin was accompanied by her sister-in-law, Wang.

The three met at the door, and Xie Yunyu originally intended to bring them in directly.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Yumin excitedly said, "No need for thanks, sister. I'll answer the question and go in."

With that, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

Wang was the dignified eldest sister-in-law of a large family, always acting with perfect propriety and grace.

Seeing her sister-in-law run off like that, leaving Xie Yunyu standing there, she felt a little embarrassed.

Looking at Xie Yunyu, he explained, "Please forgive me, Third Sister. My sister-in-law has been living with the old man for a long time, and she has become a bit lively."

Xie Yunyu smiled and said, "It's alright, I really like Wu's personality."

The two walked to the door as they talked.

Hearing Wu Yumin answering the questions, after she finished answering three simple questions, she stepped forward and entered Tianxing Tower.

Then, standing at the main entrance, he turned to the two of them and said smugly:

"See, I told you I could come in by myself."

Xie Yunyu smiled and said, "I have never doubted my sister's talent."

Because she wasn't wearing a cap today, the people at the door immediately recognized Xie Yunyu.

"Master, please come in."

Xie Yunyu led Wang Shi directly inside.

The two women, Wu and her sister-in-law, were visiting Tianxing Tower for the first time. They were very curious after entering and went to the Challenge Tower to see the questions.

Wu Yumin answered the questions as she read them, initially with great interest, but later her face showed difficulty, and finally she sighed.

After looking around for a while, he turned back to Xie Yunyu's side:

"Sister Xie, the questions on this level aren't very difficult; the difficulty lies in the types of questions."

For example, I don't understand the question about the art of crafts at all.

And as for navigation, astrology, and such, I know nothing.

Xie Yunyu nodded and said, "Yes, the questions here are quite complex."

Wang also looked around and shook her head:

"My knowledge is not as good as my younger sister's; if she doesn't understand it, I understand even less."

Xie Yunyu laughed and said, "It's alright. The questions here have been changed several times, and there are some that I don't know anymore."

"Let's go check out the east wing; it's a library there."

"library?"

Wu Yumin raised a question.

"It's like a library, but it also contains all sorts of drawings, such as maps, craft drawings, landscape maps, and river and water map."

The two nodded as they listened.

Upon entering the east wing, one sees rows of bookshelves, gleaming floors, and rows of chairs.

Wu Yumin ran over happily, looking at everything from here to there.

After a while, she returned to Xie Yun's side and excitedly asked, "Sister Xie, can I borrow a few books to take home and read?"

Xie Yunyu smiled and shook her head: "No, you can only look at it here, or copy it down, you can't take it away."

Wu Yumin was quite disheartened upon hearing this: "Oh, is that so?"

When the library was first established, Xie Yunyu intended to allow people to borrow books and take them away, but both Grand Tutor Xie and Xie Yuntang opposed it.

They said there were too many rare copies, and they were afraid that someone might become greedy and take them for themselves.

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Xie Yunyu had no choice but to comply.

Seeing Wu Yumin's expression, he quickly comforted her:

“My family has a large collection of books. You can pick some out and take them home to read at your leisure, or you can come to my house to read them directly.”

Wu Yumin perked up again: "That's great! I'll come find you then, so don't bother me."

Xie Yunyu laughed and said, "We're more than happy to welcome you, how could we be annoyed?"

At this moment, Wang pointed to a beast head in the corner of the first floor and asked:

"What is this for?"

Xie Yunyu then explained, "These are all books, and the biggest fear is that they will catch fire."

The first and second floors contain a total of twelve animal heads, which are actually twelve drainage outlets.

Once a fire is detected, water from a high water tank outside can be brought in to extinguish it promptly.

"That's a thoughtful consideration; it's certainly the right thing to do," Wang commented.

There were many people copying and reading books downstairs, so it wasn't convenient for the three of them to chat.

After waiting for a while, I turned around and went directly to the west side of the building.

Because the west side is an entertainment area, while the east side is a library, both libraries are separated from the main building by a huge garden.

This will also keep out the noise from the west.

There are also many soundproofing elements used in the middle, so you can hardly hear any sound on the east side.

The three of them walked through the Challenge Building and had just approached the entrance to the west hall when they heard cheers.

Wu Yumin paused for a moment, then turned to Xie Yunyu and asked:

Why didn't we hear anything outside just now?

Xie Yunyu continued to explain: "Because the west side room is an entertainment venue, soundproofing was taken into consideration when it was first built."

The doors and windows used, as well as the main structure of the venue, all have an extra layer of soundproofing, so it's almost impossible to hear anything from outside.

Wu Yumin nodded in agreement: "That is quite ingenious."

As the three walked, a theater-like space appeared in front of them.

A person was sitting on the high platform, talking about Huang Rong's clever battle against Ouyang Feng. The fan-shaped steps below were full of people.

When they heard something exciting, they all cheered loudly.

Looking at the unfamiliar scene before her, Wu Yumin turned her head and asked:

"What is Sister Xie talking about?"

The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

After saying that, Xie Yunyu said, "Let's go to the second floor, the view is better from there."

He then led the two upstairs to the door of room number two.

The three of them stood at the entrance, leaning against the railing, looking down over the entire venue.

"Wow, this place looks huge. It must be able to hold a hundred people at a time, right?"

"The first floor can seat about 150 people, and with the private rooms on the second floor, it can accommodate 200 people."

"Wow……"

Wu Yumin exclaimed in surprise.

Xie Yunyu thought to herself, "It's just a small movie theater, not even a fraction as big as the Bird's Nest in my previous life."

I stood there watching for a while, and then listened to a segment of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Because Wu Yumin was only listening from the middle and couldn't understand much of it, she turned around and asked:

"Sister Xie, do you have a paper copy of The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Xie Yunyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll have someone look for the draft. If you find it, you can borrow it."

Wu Yumin became happy and tugged at Xie Yunyu's sleeve, saying:

"Sister Xie, you're the best."

Seeing her like this, Wang smiled helplessly.

She always remembered the mission she had come for, and said to Xie Yunyu:

"Third Sister Xie, shouldn't we get down to business?"

Xie Yunyu laughed and said, "I was confused. It's time to get down to business."

Pointing to Xie Yuntang at the back of the first floor, he said, "Look, that guy in the silver-gray round-necked robe is my older brother."

Wu Yumin and Wang Shi both followed Xie Yunyu's finger and looked down to the first floor.

Sure enough, I saw a person wearing a silver-gray robe, listening attentively to a storyteller.

She had a good demeanor and a slender face, quite different from Xie Yunyu's full-moon-like appearance.

Wu Yumin said directly, "Doesn't the eldest brother of the Xie family look a lot like you, sister?"

"Yes, my eldest brother looks like my father, while my second brother and I are twins, and we both look more like our mother."

Wu Yumin laughed and said, "Yes, I heard that you and Brother Xie are twins. Not only are you good-looking, but you are also very smart."

Xie Yunyu asked with a smile, "Who told you that?"

“I heard it from my grandfather, who was naturally the one who told me, Xie Taifu.”

Wu Yumin said with a smile.

Xie Yunyu sent someone down to fetch Xie Yuntang, and then led Wang and the other woman into room number two.

Not long after, Xie Yuntang came in.

Upon seeing the two people inside, he paused for a moment, then realized what they were there for.

Therefore, it felt a little cramped.

Wu Yumin looked Xie Yuntang up and down carefully and found that he looked just like Mr. Xie from the academy.

He looked refined and dignified, but his reddened ears betrayed his true feelings.

Wang Shi understood Xie Yuntang's awkwardness immediately; he seemed shy, so her backyard must be quite clean.
