Chapter 81 Only resentful people can become emperors
The library of the Supreme Sect remains silent all year round, like a small building standing on a hilltop in an ink painting.
Most of the other disciples who had learned from their master would take the books back to their own caves on the mountain tops to read, but Lin Du was there every day, and he even treated this book building as a library with no closing time, studying algorithm arrays or reading miscellaneous books in it.
The library is guarded by a sect elder who can only be heard but never seen all year round. Lin Du thought that he might be a senior uncle of the same generation as Yan Ye, or even older.
After all, the lifespan of a cultivator who has reached the third stage of Tengyun Realm is thousands of years, not to mention those high-level cultivators.
Life is so long, except for those who are desperate and waiting for death, we must always find something to do.
There are no restrictions on disciples in the library. They can basically read the books on each floor. However, the sect rules stipulate that they are not allowed to copy unofficial books, and they have to ask the elders whether they are suitable for practicing any techniques.
The Supreme Sect was extremely lenient towards its disciples, and Lin Du always felt it was unreal. Perhaps it was because of this that those few wild disciples picked up on the roadside had room to cause trouble.
She thought this was a good place, a peaceful place, and it should remain peaceful forever.
After Lin Du finished writing the ten large characters, she went to the library again. She wanted to find as many books as possible about the art of fighting against the dragon and records of southern Yunnan.
She has roughly figured out which types of books are in which places in the entire library, just like when she was very young, her busy parents would always throw her into the Xinhua Bookstore during the winter and summer vacations. She knew exactly what was on each bookshelf on each floor of the four floors, and even many years later, she still remembered it.
"If you want to find books related to Gu Shu, your fifth senior brother has already come and taken them away."
The voice from the library reminded him solemnly, but Lin Du was not discouraged. "Then I'll look for books and maps in southern Yunnan."
The terrain in southern Yunnan is complex, and she wants to understand it thoroughly so she can be prepared.
In some respects, she was very obedient, such as when Feng Chao told her to be well prepared.
When Yuan Ye arrived, Lin Du was reading a book and writing something down in a booklet.
Feng Chao was right. Her ability to control the brush was still limited, so in order to make it easier to write small characters, she used a brush that she had broken before, sharpened the round head, dipped it in ink, and wrote in the same way as she would a fountain pen.
So when Yuan Ye came over, he saw such a strange scene.
"Little Master, why did you ask me to come to the library this afternoon?"
"Don't you want some tea?" Lin Du pointed to the teapot beside him. "Pour it yourself. Do you still need me to serve you?"
Yuan Ye didn't mind her usual way of talking, and happily walked over to her. Thinking of the look of Junior Master last night and this morning when he left Tianxin Peak with a look of death, he asked, "Junior Master, is your spirit okay?"
When Lin Du heard this, he felt his eardrums buzzing again. The war song played by suona and erhu rang in his head. He raised the hand holding the pen.
It was this movement that made Yuan Ye stunned for a moment, and he even forgot to drink the tea he had been longing for. "The way you hold the pen looks so familiar."
Lin Du was holding a pen in a modern way at this moment. Her heart skipped a beat. "Have you ever seen anyone holding a pen like this?"
"Not really," Yuan Ye shook his head, "I had a study partner before, and he once held a pen like this. He said that the young master who taught him would hold a pen like this when he was daydreaming. When he was thinking about the master, he thought of it and made a gesture like this."
Lin Du actually had no idea how the prince Yuan Ye could go from the mortal world to the spirit world. He was dazed for a moment when he heard this. "Really?"
"Yes, but unfortunately he went to the frontline to kill the enemy. I followed the Imperial Master to the spirit world, and I don't know how he is doing now. The Xixia Iron Cavalry is fierce and brutal. I'm afraid the Xie family..."
Yuan Ye suddenly realized that he had said too much. His fair, plump face showed a rare trace of worry and shock, as if he was recalling something. "At that time, the Imperial Master told my father that I had a talent for wisdom and that if we went together, I would be able to find a way to save the country after I learned it. But when I arrived in the spirit world, I was selected by the Supreme Sect and entered the sect. Only then did I realize that people in the cultivation world can no longer ask about matters in the mundane world."
Lin Du didn't expect that this little brat who looked like he was being cheated would actually be so concerned about his country and his people. "Could it be that you're still thinking about returning to seize the position after you finish your studies?"
"Only resentful people can become emperors!" Yuan Ye blurted out, then realized that he was wrong and whispered in defense, "Anyway, I won't be the emperor, whoever wants to be the emperor can be the emperor. My father is not as strong as a diamond drill to do porcelain work. There are internal and external troubles, and there are a lot of messes everywhere. I would rather sing an opera than learn from that old man to persevere!"
Lin Du: ...No wonder one wants to sing opera and the other likes farming.
She raised her hand and pushed the tea in front of him with force, "Have some."
"That national teacher doesn't seem to have very good spiritual roots. The Supreme Sect selects people first. He told me at the time that everyone has their own destiny. Your Highness, you should go. Our fate has come to an end. He can't save the country, but at least he can save me."
Yuan Ye paused and lowered his eyes. He had no spiritual power at that time. Even though he tried very hard to look for him after going up, he could not find the imperial master again.
"In fact, I know why the Imperial Master only brought me with him, because I was the only one who didn't want to be the emperor, and I wouldn't point my finger at him and scold him for being a demon and ruining the country. The Imperial Master asked me which play I liked best, and I said I loved watching "The Yellow Millet Dream."1
Yuan Ye suddenly chuckled when he said this, "The reason why the Imperial Master wanted to take the prince with him was to let my father give him enough money so that he wouldn't have to cheat and run away. He took all the gold and jade items in my father's private treasury with him, and he refused to let go even though he was as tired as a donkey on the way."
"In the end, the ferry arrived at the spirit world. We walked ashore for a long time. When it was time to eat, we found that ordinary gold and jade were like bricks and stones here, and spiritual stones were the hard currency. In the end, we were forced to stay in the kitchen and wash dishes for several days."
He said he was tired, took a sip of tea, and his eyes lit up, "It's really good stuff. My master got two taels of tea from you, and he wanted to brew it by counting the leaves."
Lin Du also laughed, turned around and heard Yuan Ye chattering about something else, saying that another boar in the back mountain was pregnant, and that he saw his eldest senior brother following his second senior sister with a little wife-like look on his face today.
Yuan Ye said as he approached her with a sly look in his eyes, "Didn't Shao Fei say that day that he had a way to save Senior Brother, in order to gain his forgiveness?"
"Then the eldest senior brother, who was originally sitting and drinking hot water, immediately jumped up and said that no matter how helpless she was, she really told the evil cultivator about Junior Senior Uncle as a candidate. If Junior Senior Uncle had not been smart and prepared, what would have been the consequences? He would not forgive her and would rather die than be treated by such a person."
"When Senior Brother ran to save you, Jinxuan and I, and Shao Fei ran over to tell on you, you had been captured for almost a quarter of an hour. Shao Fei didn't know your abilities, and she was an evil cultivator who could eat people. She left after a quarter of an hour, and everyone was dead. She must have had bad intentions!"
Yuan Ye shook his head and said, "Big Brother, you just don't see enough people. I noticed from the beginning that Shao Fei kept calling me his savior, so he must have set his sights on Big Brother."
Lin Du raised his hand and applauded him perfunctorily. He really was a member of the royal family. Although he was not well educated, he was a top-level palace fighting artist.
"But Yuanye, Yan Qing also said at the dinner table yesterday that you asked me why I lied to Shao Fei about his inability to do so."
Yuan Ye chuckled, touched the back of his head and looked up at the sky, "Ah, is that so? I don't remember it. It must be that Yan Qing was confused in his studies and has a bad memory."
Lin Du laughed, and suddenly noticed a little fluctuation in her Qi. She looked up at the child who was still pretending to be stupid in surprise, "Yuan Ye, you are going to advance."
Yuan Ye cried out in surprise, then he realized that spiritual power was already rushing towards him. The barrier of the early to middle Qin Xin realm had already been broken with a crackling sound.
