After a while, the alchemists could no longer wait and said, "Alright, Master Ye, we'll take this box and study it first. It won't be a problem for you and Her Highness the Seventh Princess to celebrate."
"What's the point of studying this box? Is it fun?" The little prodigal was very puzzled.
"It's not fun. This is not a joke. We have to open this box and get Ben's notes." The alchemists said seriously.
"Notes, are you talking about this book?" A book suddenly appeared in the little prodigal's hand.
"Yes, it's this alchemy notebook... Hey, that's not right... You, you..." The alchemists pointed at the little prodigal, their eyes wide open as if they were lost, with a look of fright and disbelief on their faces.
"Ah..." At this time, everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at the little prodigal boy, too surprised to make any sound.
"There are a few more books, one, two, three, four... five. There are five books in this box." The little prodigal took out one book after another, but the people present were still in a daze.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to us just now? Is this box really that difficult to open?" The emperor and others began to doubt. This was a suspicion towards those alchemists. They suspected that they wanted to see the notes at first glance, so they lied to everyone that the box could not be opened.
However, everyone present knew that the possibility was extremely small.
The alchemists immediately denied it with a solemn oath: "No, absolutely not. How could we possibly deceive the Emperor? This box truly requires a lot of effort and many difficulties to open, but..."
"But why can a ten-year-old kid open it so easily?" The emperor looked at the little prodigal with confusion and more of a weird look in his eyes.
That's right, the box that many top alchemists couldn't open just now was opened by our Thirteenth Young Master, and it was opened very easily, without any obstacles at all, and no one even had time to notice.
This surprised and shocked everyone, making them wonder if they had seen it wrong and doubt the absolute truth before their eyes.
If it were another child, they might say he was a genius, but the Thirteenth Young Master was not even as good as an average person, so how could he be a genius?
"Perhaps, he is an alchemical genius." Although he thought it was impossible, the alchemist still raised this possibility.
"Impossible, he has never learned alchemy. We will not let him touch such a dangerous tool." Long Anqi directly denied this possibility. As a mother, she knew clearly about her son, at least she knew this.
"That's right, the young master doesn't know alchemy. He hasn't even read a book on alchemy." Hu Niu on the side also nodded.
If Long Anqi's words were not enough to convince people, then adding Hu Niu's words would be enough to make people believe it without a doubt. Everyone knew that Hu Niu had been by the side of the Thirteenth Young Master all these years, and she knew best what he had done.
"Since he doesn't know alchemy, how can he open it? Is it another coincidence? This kid is really favored by the goddess of luck. This is too magical." The emperor and others began to discuss. They had only this explanation, using the Thirteenth Young Master's miraculous luck to explain it.
At this time, the Seventh Princess asked, "Ye Lang, how did you open this box?"
The seventh princess' question also made the people present suddenly realize that what they were thinking was not in front of them, so they could just ask directly.
But everyone is worried about one thing: the person involved may not be able to explain this matter clearly.
"How do you open it? Just open it like this. What's so difficult about it?" As expected, the Thirteenth Young Master's answer was completely unable to explain the matter.
"It seems to be just luck, which is inexplicable." Everyone thought with a wry smile, if luck is the tool, no problem can stop it.
Is it really just luck?
"I have definitely never seen these alchemy arrays, but why do they feel familiar?" The little prodigal son muttered to himself as he looked at the alchemy notes, and then made a decision that stunned everyone.
"I want to learn alchemy and read these books." After saying that, he put the five alchemy notebooks into his space ring. The alchemist beside him wanted to stop him but it was too late.
"Well, Young Master Ye, could you give us the five books you just gave us? We have a lot of books here. Let's exchange them." The alchemists said as they took out many books. They were all their treasured alchemy books. Normally, they would not even be willing to take them out, but now they have lost everything.
After collecting the books, Master Xiao Ye said something that shocked everyone.
"I want these books, but I won't exchange them!"
“…”
The alchemists were in tears and looked at the emperor with pleading eyes. They only hoped that the emperor would come out to uphold justice and find a way to get the five alchemy notebooks back.
In fact, even if they did not ask for help, the emperor would still think of a way, because he knew that if this was left in the hands of the little prodigal, it would be completely useless. Only by handing it over to these royal alchemists could it help the empire.
Finally, after discussion, the Thirteenth Young Master handed over the alchemy notes, but only lent them to them for three days, during which they could copy down the alchemy notes.
Don't forget that the alchemy notes are just class notes. They are not actually some advanced alchemical items. As long as you copy down the contents above, you will have a notebook with the same function.
This idea was proposed by our Thirteenth Young Master. These people thought too complicatedly and didn't consider this simple aspect at all, which made many people present ashamed.
Sometimes, the key to solving a problem is often very simple, but many people don’t think in a simple way. The more they think about it, the more complicated it becomes, and the problem will become more and more troublesome in the end.
"Young Master Ye, could you please give us those books first? We will copy a copy for you..." The imperial alchemists asked weakly. Since there was a previous method, they would of course think of this aspect.
It was such a waste to let this young master Ye take those rare books. They had to get them back if they could. At this time, they didn't care about their own face. They were willing to risk everything for their precious books.
"Okay!" The Thirteenth Young Master promised straightforwardly, but he added another sentence after that: "You must give me a copy of all your books!"
“…”
Is this kid really a mentally retarded idiot as the rumors say? He doesn't look like one at all. He looks more like a little fox. Is he pretending?
Many people were skeptical at this time, but it was only temporary. They didn't believe that a person could pretend like this, and had been pretending since childhood.
In fact, the Thirteenth Young Master was not pretending, but he seemed to be lacking something, which made him weak in some things, but very strong in other aspects, such as the memory problem before, and the alchemy he was going to learn next.
Maybe a little bit of his luck.
