Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

That's nothing compared to what's to come.

Although Zhou Wenyuan's cultivation level was not high.

However, Han Ye always treated him like his own son.

Even Han Zhishan treated Zhou Wenyuan with great courtesy.

This library has always been managed by Zhou Wenyuan.

It's impossible for him to associate with Su Chen now.

"Su Zhen Chuan Shuo laughed."

At that moment, Zhou Wenyuan chuckled softly.

"Since you refuse to join my sect..."

"Then you can pack up and leave."

"You probably don't know yet, but your Second Elder is injured and needs someone to take care of him."

"It's a good opportunity for you to show your filial piety."

"Moreover, this library will be under the management of Benzhen in the future."

Su Chen waved his hand and was about to walk inside.

At that moment, Zhou Wenyuan was stopped by Su Chen in one swift step.

"Please explain this clearly, Master."

"This library is a very important place in the sect."

"Even if there is any handover, it should be announced to the entire clan."

"Moreover, the collection contains tens of thousands of books, and even during the handover, it would take at least three months to inventory them."

"We'll see..."

At this moment, Zhou Wenyuan looked completely bewildered.

There's simply no way to determine whether this statement is true or false.

My mind is a complete mess.

"We'll talk about it later."

"So you're announcing it to the entire clan? I reckon the Grand Elder will make that announcement tomorrow."

"Just pack your things and go back to see your Elder Han."

Su Chen waved his hand.

"No way!"

"These rare books on the sixth and seventh floors are absolutely forbidden to anyone without the Second Elder's permission."

"Now that I'm gone, who will look after me?"

"To pass on the true teachings without explanation is hardly convincing!"

That makes some sense.

Su Chen wasn't really a petty person; he just thought Zhou Wenyuan was probably stubborn.

It's just being too serious.

I do admire this person to some extent.

But at that moment, Wang Mang stepped forward with a smile.

"What a sharp-tongued kid."

"I told you to get lost, so get lost!"

"Otherwise, I'll have to check the accounts of this library."

"The Cold Pool Qi-Drawing Technique is a dual cultivation method."

"But only inner disciples are allowed to read and study it."

"Just borrowing a book costs several hundred spirit stones."

"In the entire Qingzhou, only our sect possesses this one unique copy."

"What's scary is that it's become commonplace on the black market now."

"On the black market, it would sell for at most fifty spirit stones."

"Tell me, which foolish person copied this cultivation technique and sold it on the black market?"

"Let's talk about the fragments of the Thunder-Drawing Chapter and the Thunderclap Fist Technique..."

"I remember there were at least twenty or so..."

"If you really want me to tell you all these things."

"Hmph..."

At this moment, Wang Mang immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks.

Su Chen, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens, I don't understand the game "Xiaoxiao" in this library.

So this place is lucrative.

However, Su Chen doesn't lack any spirit stones at all right now.

With the spiritual mine from Wang Yuyan's maternal family.

I am now rolling in money.

Although Su Chen had no use for these techniques, he would absolutely not be willing to sell them.

After all, we still need these things to win people's hearts.

But Zhou Wenyuan was already drenched in sweat.

"Cough cough..."

"The true teachings..."

At this moment, Zhou Wenyuan panicked.

"I say, Junior Nephew Wang, you're quite something!"

"I didn't expect you to know so much about all the shady dealings here."

Su Chen patted Wang Mang with a smile.

Zhou Wenyuan was even more confused at this point.

Wasn't Wang Mang Su Chen's mortal enemy?

Why do they seem to be working together now?

"Hmph!"

"You think I'm like you?"

"I come to this library to study all year round for the purpose of cultivation."

"After all, the Supreme Elder didn't choose me as his true disciple back then."

"I don't have any inherited martial arts techniques, so I can only stay here."

At this moment, Wang Mang made a comment.

"Alright, alright, don't be scared, kid."

"Benzhen and your Senior Brother Wang are good friends."

"We are not prepared to conduct a thorough investigation."

"After all, these are all old, trivial matters."

"You can pack your things and leave now."

Su Chen looked at Zhou Wenyuan with a smile.

Zhou Wenyuan was completely dumbfounded.

I have absolutely no idea what Su Chen is up to.

But given the current situation, I'm afraid I have no choice but to leave.

If this gets out, not only will the sect not let me off the hook.

Even his mentor, Han Ye, would probably punish him severely.

"My master is right!"

"I was indeed a bit reckless just now."

"I'm going back now to serve my master."

This guy's expression changed incredibly fast at that moment.

"Oh, right!"

"I just took over the library, you know..."

"Such a large library requires quite a few disciples to manage."

"If you take all these disciples from the library with you."

"That true teaching must have been incredibly tiring."

Su Chen stretched.

"Hello!!!"

"Listen up, all of you. From this day forward, the true disciple will personally manage the library."

"From today onwards, you outer disciples will remain in the library!"

"You must serve your master, the true disciple, well!"

At this moment, Zhou Wenyuan hurriedly gave the order.

"Master Uncle, are you satisfied with what I've done?"

Immediately afterwards, this guy smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Su Chen.

"This child is teachable!"

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

I originally thought Zhou Wenyuan was a guy with some backbone.

Su Chen was thinking that this guy was so dedicated and responsible, and he wanted to win him over to do things for him.

It seems I was overthinking things.

This is a world of cultivation.

There's no such thing as someone remaining untainted by the mud.

Even if it were me, if I were down on my luck, I would have to stay here and look after things.

They probably emptied the entire library a long time ago.

There's no need to kill off a disciple at this time.

and!

I'll let this kid off the hook today.

With this kid's weakness in his hands, he'll probably have no choice but to obey his every command in the future.

Su Chen was indeed decisive and ruthless, leaving no room for future trouble.

But this kid isn't exactly a menace.

"OK!"

"Let's do it this way..."

...

Within half a day, the entire library was eerily silent.

Within half a day, the news of Su Chen and Han Ye's fight spread throughout the entire sect.

There's even the claim that Wang Mang was actually one of Su Chen's men.

This startled all the disciples who had previously kept their distance from Su Chen.

"What?!"

"Defeat the Second Elder!"

"This is absolutely true!"

"And Senior Brother Wang Mang is actually a disciple of Su Zhen..."

"He really is a master of keeping a low profile."

For a time, it wasn't just within the sect.

The news spread like wildfire throughout Qingzhou.

"My true master!"

At this moment, Chen Shiqiang arrived at the library, still covered in injuries.

"Hey, you've got a lucky life!"

"If your Senior Brother Wang had arrived a little later..."

"You're probably going to die in that dungeon, kid."

Su Chen made a joke as soon as they met.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Wang, and thank you so much, Master Uncle, for saving me..."

At this moment, Chen Shiqiang had an awkward smile on his face.

"Alright!"

"I didn't bring you here to listen to your flattery."

"Just say it!"

"I don't have time to manage this library."

...
