Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 377 Xiao Family Library

"Mr. Xiao..."

Ling Lan sensed that something was wrong in Xiao Che's words, and wanted to interrupt, but it was a pity that Xiao Che never gave her this chance.

This time, Xiao Che was determined to tear apart his son's "a piece of infatuation" and spread it in front of Ling Lan, so that she could see it clearly.

"No, Miss Ling, please listen to my words because of my love for my son. I watched Xu'er grow up. As a father, I can't understand his thoughts best... "

"Mr. Xiao, I'm here to ask for something!"

Seeing Xiao Che talking endlessly, with the attitude that Ling Lan would not stop if he didn't agree, Ling Lan couldn't help but feel that one head and two big.

She was afraid that Xiao Che would drag the topic to the point where she couldn't resist, so she didn't care about the many politeness for a while, so she decisively interrupted Xiao Che's conversation.

Xu could see Ling Lan's firm attitude, Xiao Che was stunned for a moment, but he was not displeased, but followed Ling Lan's words and asked: "Miss Ling, what's the matter, just ask."

"I have long heard that your mansion has a vast collection of books. I wonder if this junior is lucky enough to have a look at the library?"

Without too much politeness, Ling Lan went straight to the point and confessed her reason for coming.

"What am I supposed to be! It's hard to say! Miss Ling, come with me."

Ling Lan didn't expect Xiao Che to agree so happily.She also thought that she had to spend some time talking.

It went so smoothly, which was beyond Ling Lan's expectation.

Xiao Che walked ahead and personally led the way for Ling Lan.Along the way, the servants and wives of the Xiao family didn't know if they got the news from someone, and they all paid attention to Ling Lanxing.

Every time Ling Lan passed by, the servants who were originally performing their duties would stop their work and look at Ling Lan with a smile.

There was an indescribable eagerness in their eyes, as if Ling Lan was their future mistress.

Rao Ling Lan has always been calm about honor and disgrace, but she was also a little embarrassed by the battle of the Xiao family.

However, Xiao Che not only did not say a word to reprimand his servants, but on the contrary, he looked happy to see the success.

Fortunately, the library is not too far from the Xiao family's main house, and Ling Lan arrived at her destination after a short while of embarrassment.

"Miss Ling, our Xiao family also has the rules of the Xiao family. Because of Xu'er, I can make an exception and let you enter the library. It's just you, a friend, who can only wait for you outside."

Speaking of Long Aotian, there was still some hostility in Xiao Che's words and eyes.He always regarded Long Aotian as Si Rongyu, but he refused to listen to Ling Lan's explanation.

It doesn't matter to Long Aotian, even if he stays outside alone, the Xiao family will naturally entertain him.

……

The Xiao family's library building is located on the west side of the mansion. It is a three-story building with a unique shape.

Because there are many precious and priceless classics stored in the library, there are skilled mystic masters guarding everywhere downstairs all the year round.

At this time, three hours had passed since Ling Lan entered the library.

The guards patrolling and guarding downstairs changed from team to team, but no one in the building came out.

The sun gradually moved westward, and the sky gradually darkened.The brilliance of the setting sun sprinkled on the half-opened window lattice, as if coated with a layer of gold leaf.

On the large jade table, a round and plump night pearl was placed on the lampstand.

The shining brilliance of the pearl clearly illuminates everything within a radius of two feet.Under the light, Ling Lan frowned slightly, and was flipping through a brick-thick classic.

She looked at it seriously, and her graceful silhouette was projected on the wall beside her, like a carefully drawn portrait of a lady.

Two small fan-like eyelashes cast light shadows on the fair cheeks, Ling Lan's lips were slightly pursed, and all his attention was focused on the book in front of him.

This is the last book in the Xiao family library.

Ling Lan frowned. If she still couldn't find any clues in this book, her trip to the Xiao family would be considered a waste of time.

After a while, Ling Lan closed the heavy book, and gently squeezed between her eyebrows with her fingers to relieve her fatigue.

She stayed in the library for an afternoon, more than three hours.During this period, she never drank water, never went to the toilet, and even rarely changed her posture.

Ling Lan desperately wanted to find records about the curse technique from the ancient books, even if it was just a few words.

Fortunately, Ling Lan is very talented, she can see ten lines at a glance when reading, and she can't forget it, otherwise, she really doesn't know when she will turn to this book that is full of three floors.

It's just that after reading all the classics in the library, Ling Lan didn't have a trace of joy on her face.

Among so many treasured classics and lost orphans, she couldn't find any useful clues.

It can only be said that this curse technique has completely disappeared on Longyue Continent.

Even if there are a few books that involve the art of cursing, they are only mentioned in a few words, and they are understated.

Moreover, most of them rebuked how the curse technique was harmful to people, and did not mention a word about the solution.

As for the strange curse in the Si Rong family, it looks like a wild beast when it occurs, and it is bloodthirsty, but there is no record of this situation at all.

Recalling the knowledge that was crammed into her mind this afternoon, Ling Lan sighed silently.

It seems that she must go to Sacred Heart College.

Putting the night pearl for lighting into the storage bag, Ling Lan glanced at the sky outside the window, thinking that it was time to say goodbye to Xiao Che.

She walked along the route in her memory all the way from the library to the hall where Xiao Che received her before. Before she got close, she vaguely heard the sound of arguing in the hall.

It seems that it is not quite accurate to say it is a "quarrel". From the beginning to the end, Ling Lan only heard an old but angry voice reprimanding someone, and occasionally he could hear Xiao Che's earnest persuasion.

"Father, don't be angry, your body is important. The second brother is not a child anymore, he has his own ideas, so don't be obsessed with them."

This is Xiao Che's voice.The person Xiao Che called "father" must have been the old man of the Xiao family.

As soon as Xiao Che finished speaking, another old voice burst into rage.

"Huh! I think he is not even as good as a child! A disobedient child can be disciplined, but look at him, when has he ever obeyed discipline?!"

Mr. Xiao snorted angrily: "How old is he! My nephew has reached the age of marriage, and he, as an uncle, has been procrastinating and refusing to get married! Isn't that plausible?!"

The two sounds of "bang, bang" that followed seemed to be the sound of crutches hitting the ground.

"Running around all day long, I don't know what you're busy with! If you don't want to make progress and don't want to contribute to the family, you've put the burden of the family on your elder brother alone!"
