CHAPTER 28: THE LIBRARIAN AND HIS LIBRARY

His personal guard, Xuan Bo, replied politely, bowing his head, "I have talked with Prime Minister Qiao Long, Crown Prince. He was as surprised as you that there was a library in such a location. He even searched the history of the place and he discovered it was a recently abandoned restaurant. In other words, the librarian does not have a permit."

The Crown Prince asked, "What will he do about the library? The librarian?"

Xuan Bo glanced at the ambiguous expression of the Crown Prince and said, "He said there was no need to inform your father, the King, and immediately arrest the librarian. However, I told him I must inform you first since you have shown interest towards it."

The Crown Prince exploded in a hoot of laughter as he continued to stare at his little sister.

He said, "How could I not? When my little sister visited there and suddenly became talented in archery when she sucks at that? From the information I received, she bought a book. A book can’t be that magical, not even the Royal Library be able to transform her. It could only mean one thing, the librarian and his library must be out of this world."

Xuan Bo was stunned.

He stared at the Crown Prince with widened eyes and asked, "How certain are you, Crown Prince?"

The Crown Prince replied, "Most definitely. Also, at the moment, I just received information that Duan Li visited there, carrying a weapon in the Treasure rank, showcasing she became a Treasure Artisan... in what? In the span of five months?

Isn’t that ridiculous?"

Xuan Bo was surprised.

He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Duan Li? The recent noble, who suddenly rose five months ago as an artisan? Wasn’t it because she was enlightened that she grew faster, even though it was a bit late given her age?"

The Crown Prince grinned.

"Not until she visited the library five months ago."

Xuan Bo was still surprised he did not possess such important information. It appeared that the Crown Prince was already eyeing for the library.

He remained silent until the Crown Prince continued.

"It’s normal you don’t know about it. After all, you, First Heat Division, focused on tracking unorthodox cultivators within the kingdom. As for the Third Heat Division, they kept track of the recent happenings within the kingdom that a surface-level of scrutiny might ignore.

In fact, I already read a report about the sudden appearance of the librarian five months ago from them but immediately dismissed it. Uncle Qiao Long might have done the same. Although it was strange there was a sudden library out of nowhere, since it really was a simple library at first, we ignored it.

There were barely any customers, either. Obviously, the place would not sell well,

However, after my little sister visited there and showed some growth, as well as connecting Duan Li’s sudden explosion of her talent in craftsmanship, everything changed."

The Crown Prince, with his sharp eyebrows, gazed at Xuan Bo, who immediately lowered his head in response, not daring to meet his golden eyes.

"We will visit the library later. Make it as lowkey as possible. In the meantime, have your subordinate inform Uncle Qiao Long that the librarian and the library must not be touched. A gem is already in our grasp, not making use of it will make our kingdom become a laughing stock in history."

Xuan Bo bowed deeply. "Understood, Crown Prince."

Xuan Bo swept his gaze and saw a Crimson Sun Guard was training not far from them.

He shouted his name and called him over.

The Crimson Sun Guard first bowed politely and greeted the Crown Prince before proceeding to complete Xuan Bo’s order.

His face remained unfazed, despite knowing he learned confidential information, as he was already trained how to keep his mouth shut.

Of course, he could not help but be intensely curious about the library and librarian.

Nevertheless, he was able to restrain his curiosity as he disappeared from their sights.

The Crown Prince merely glanced at him and said, "Information about the librarian and the library will arrive soon."

Xuan Bo asked politely, "Is it from the Third Heat Division?"

The Crown Prince nodded.

"It is. You might be surprised, but the person in charge was the lowest ranking in the Third Heat Division. He was in charge of keeping in check in the street where the librarian and the library resided.

We will know who is more connected to the library and the librarian."

Xuan Bo remained silent, waiting for the person to provide information about the library and the librarian.

Finally, an ordinary looking cultivator entered the training grounds, sweeping his gaze.

His eyes lit up when he saw the Crown Prince and immediately walked towards him.

Xuan Bo observed him.

The ordinary looking cultivator ignored him directly, despite feeling the gaze of an early Foundation Establishment Stage.

Although he had just recently become an early Qi Condensation Stage, he received ample resources when the Crown Prince took notice of his job and treated it highly.

That was why he was now confident as he was able to provide the information the Crown Prince was looking for.

Of course, he was surprised when he gathered it, explaining why he was excited to share it with him.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately bowed deeply and greeted the Crown Prince.

"Good afternoon, Crown Prince! Your subject from the Third Heat Division has arrived to report about my findings of your task."

The Crown Prince smiled.

He was really pleased.

The moment he had been waiting for finally arrived.

He replied, "You better disappoint. Now, make a report."

The ordinary looking cultivator nodded and said, "The library and the librarian rarely have customers. In total, including the princess, there are already six. Prior to her, out of the five customers, three of them already visited, as the third was currently present there.

Two of them tried to conceal themselves, but they were easy to see through."

He paused for a while, letting the Crown Prince digest what he said, and continued, "His first customer is Mo Fu. He was just an ordinary cultivator, trying to pursue the sword but clearly lacking talent for it.

After six months, he returned to the library and released his Sword Intent against the maid of the princess.

In other words, in just a span of six months, he became a Sword Expert after being a Swordsman, which stuck with him for nearly twenty years."
