Chapter 9
Zhao Ziyi came to the Sutra Depository and walked straight to the desk where he had placed a cultivation technique secret manual.
However, when she saw that there were no traces of it being touched, a hint of disappointment flashed across her pretty face.
That's right. Senior might just be interested. How could he stay in the Sutra Depository all the time?
Zhao Ziyi thought to himself.
She picked up the cultivation technique and prepared to put it on the shelf before looking for another one to read.
When she arrived at the third floor, she was about to look for the cultivation technique manual when she saw a man standing by the window. His face was like jade, and he was handsome and elegant.
He was leaning against the wall, holding a book called the Strange Records of Chengyang in his hand.
The warm sun outside the window shone on his shoulders, painting a beautiful landscape.
What a handsome fellow.
Zhao Ziyi's eyes widened, and he muttered in his heart. His heartbeat sped up quite a bit.
He was reading, and she was looking at him.
Both sides maintained a delicate balance.
She held her breath, not even having the heart to break this peace.
When the man saw something interesting, the corners of his mouth would curl up, and Zhao Ziyi would also feel happy in his heart.
It was just that occasionally the man would also frown, as if he had seen some bad allusions. Zhao Ziyi would also become melancholic because of it.
Since when did the Northern Town Bureau have such a person?
I actually didn't know about it at all?
Zhao Ziyi was surprised.
"Cough cough."
Not knowing when, just as Zhao Ziyi was immersed in her inner world, a light cough pulled her back to reality.
The man with the morning sun on his shoulders had already appeared in front of her.
"Uh…"
Zhao Ziyi wiped the saliva that didn't flow out of the corner of his mouth reflexively.
Damn it, this princess has really lost a lot of face today.
When did he come over?
Zhao Ziyi's pretty face first turned from pale to red.
She had never thought that she would one day crave a man and even wipe her drool after waking up.
If this got out, how would they face others?
However, on second thought, only she and the man in front of her knew about this matter anyway. Looking at the other party's elegant appearance, he did not seem like a person who would spread rumors.
"Who are you? Why are you in the Sutra Depository?”
She raised her head and pretended to be bossy.
"Reporting to Third Princess, I am stationed in the Jinyiwei in the case library. As I have finished my duties, I took advantage of my free time to read and kill time.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
He knows that I am the Third Princess.
He did not seem to have the aura of a martial artist flowing around him. It seemed that he was a civilian Jinyiwei.
However, knowing that I am the Third Princess, why isn't he afraid at all?
Zhao Ziyi's thoughts turned quickly and he said seriously,""What's your name? Don't you know that the Sutra Library isn't a place for people like you to enter?”
Su Ming laughed softly and said," Third Princess, I am Su Ming. If you think I am just a random person, I will leave immediately.”
At worst, he would avoid this person in the future. With his powerful divine sense as perception, as long as Zhao Ziyi entered the scripture chamber, he would know.
If he wanted to not be discovered, then even if Zhao Ziyi flipped through the entire scripture depository, he would not discover his existence either.
Su Ming?
"Cough cough."
Zhao Ziyi coughed lightly and continued,""Since you are the Jinyiwei of the case library, you are naturally not in the category of miscellaneous people.”
"However, this Scripture Depository is so big. Don't you feel that you've entered a treasure mountain and returned empty-handed after reading a strange record?”
Su Ming smiled." Third Princess, I don't have any talent in martial arts, which is why I can't learn the techniques and secret manuals in these books. However, these records of strange things allow me to know about the world without leaving my house.”
You don't have to go out, you know everything in the world
Zhao Ziyi was in a daze. She did not expect that the other party, who was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, could actually say that she had no talent in martial arts.
"What a good way to know the world without going out.”
Zhao Ziyi's eyes lit up and continued,""Since you are a regular visitor to the Sutra Depository, have you seen anyone else here?”
She wanted to guess who the person who modified the Tidal Sword Technique was.
Su Ming did not expect that a moment of impulse would bring about such an outcome.
"Reporting to Third Princess, this humble servant has never seen her.”
Su Ming cast a glance at the sky outside the window and continued,"I still have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
"Yes."
Zhao Ziyi was a little reluctant in his heart, but he still magnanimously waved his hand and said,""You may leave."
Zhao Ziyi stared at Su Ming's departing back in a daze. She really wanted to ask him if he was still coming in the afternoon.
However, when she thought about how she was the princess of the dynasty, it was too rude of her to say that.
"But he just said that he is the guard of the case library. Does that mean that I can often read the case files and get close to him?”
Zhao Ziyi muttered in a low voice.
Immediately, she was shocked by her own thought.
Zhao Ziyi, you are the princess of the dynasty, and he is just a civilian Jinyiwei who doesn't know martial arts. It is impossible for the two of you to be together!
Sigh.
Zhao Ziyi sighed in his heart. He did not have the intention to continue looking for cultivation technique manuals and turned around to leave.
"Cousin, I'm here to pick you up."
Chen Yu said with a smirk as he blocked the entrance of the Sutra Library with his right hand on the knife.
Su Ming was speechless.
"Let's go. My mother specially made braised lion's head for you today. I usually don't have the chance to eat it even if I want to.”
The corners of Chen Yu's lips curled up. He followed behind Su Ming with his right hand on his blade, as if he was escorting a criminal to the execution ground.
Walking to the main street, Chen Yu looked at the people with swords and sabers who were crowded on the street. He asked in surprise,"
"I don't know what's going on these few days, but there are suddenly many people from the martial arts world in the capital, causing the Northern Garrison to send out many Brocade Guards to prevent these people from causing trouble!”
Su Ming did not reply. He was thinking about how he should turn the spear around and shift the focus to Chen Yu.
The two of them stopped at the entrance of the Chen Residence. Chen Beihe, as the Lord of the Thousand Households and a fifth-grade official, had a luxurious residence with three entrances and three exits.
At the entrance was an empty square. At this moment, there was also an arena that was 50 feet in length and width. On it stood a valiant woman.
A banner read,"Joust For A Spouse."
Below it was a small sentence,"Those below Houtian fifth grade must not be over 20 years old!"
The woman had a graceful figure and wore a straw hat with a veil draped over her head. She was dressed in a white outfit.
She stood proudly on the stage.
The audience was in a frenzy.
"Tch, those below Houtian fifth grade can't even reach the age of 20. In the entire capital, who has such high talent?”
"That's right. Ordinary people are already eighteen years old when they advance to Houtian ninth grade. To advance to Houtian fifth grade, they should be at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.”
"With such talent, even the doorsteps of his family would be trampled flat by the matchmaker. Why would he still need to come to the martial arts competition to find a spouse?”
"Have you forgotten that Chen Yubian, the son of our Chen family, is only 18 years old this year and is already a Houtian fifth grade expert?”
"Right, right, right. I almost forgot. Isn't this Chen Yubian Houtian fifth grade? If he comes to challenge this person on the stage, he might win.”
"Chen Yubian will definitely be one of the four commanders of the North Town's Ministry of Education in the future. Do you think you'll fall for a woman who shows her face in public?”
"What do you know? Since she dares to say that she wants to find a spouse through a martial arts competition, she must be at Houtian fifth grade. With this martial arts talent, she will definitely be an Inborn expert in the future. If she is not worthy of Chen Yubian, then who is?”
“......”
As he listened to the crowd's discussions, Su Ming turned his head around to look at the arena. The corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled."Cousin, I think the woman on the stage is very compatible with you.”
When Chen Yubian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He smiled bitterly and said,""Cousin, to be honest, I can't beat her."
"Oh?"
"You've already competed with her?" Su Ming asked with a smile.”
"Yes."
Chen Yu nodded and continued," Just half a month ago, because of some things, I had a big fight with her. I lost."”
