Chapter 209: Chapter 154: Seeking Death_3
"Excuse me, fellow student, is the history section on the forty-fifth floor?" The sincere and honest Long Yi asked the infuriated face before him.
"Over there!" If it wasn’t for the debilitating punishment for fighting in the library, the man would have kicked Long Yi to death. Seeing that Long Yi was indeed looking for something, he quickly pointed in a direction. When Long Yi looked in that direction, all he saw was a pile of books in a corner!
Damn it! There aren’t even any bookshelves! This is disrespect for history!
"Thank you, senior, please calm down!" Honest Long Yi quickly thanked him, then turned around and left. Only then did the senior notice Long Yi’s uniform.
"Third year? Did I see it wrong?" The senior rubbed his eyes, but he still saw the uniform of a third-year student. He looked around and saw the big ’45’ before the bookshelf confirming that he was on the forty-fifth floor.
"How did this guy get here?" The senior was completely dumbfounded. He was an eighth grader and a regular part of the army. He was on a mission in the Gentle Wind Plain to eradicate magical creatures. After noticing his own shortcomings there, he first thing he did upon returning to the academy was to brush up on various knowledge. In his frustration over not understanding some of the content, he took it out on Long Yi.
But now, the sight of Long Yi’s third-year uniform frightened him.
Could one have such strength in their third year?
What’s happening in this world?
Did the Dragon God think I wasn’t trying hard enough, so he sent this to motivate me?
Long Yi, who was completely oblivious to the senior’s deep contemplation, started his intense book-finding work. Much time had already passed and Long Yi had very little time left. He must quickly find what he wanted.
The books in the corner looked quite old, but not from being frequently read, but from being left untouched for a long time. In the almost dustless library, these books had a thin layer of dust on their covers, indicating how long it had been since they had last been touched.
Long Yi got down to begin his search and Little Zi joined the hunt.
"Academy Scenery?" Little Zi asked.
"No." Long Yi responded.
"Imperial Etiquette!"
"No."
"Ah, this is what I wanted."
"You can’t take it away. If you want to read it, read it quickly."
"Oh, then let’s talk about it next time."
After squatting there and searching for a long time, Little Zi finally found what Long Yi was looking for in the pile of books.
The Brief History of the Royal Dragon Knight Academy (Volume 3)
"Three?"
Long Yi picked it up and took a quick look. The content inside was clear and simple, but not what he was looking for.
"Find (Volume 1)." Long Yi said.
Without Long Yi’s command, Little Zi had already plunged back into the pile of books. This was when being incorporeal had its advantages. She could freely move through the pile of books without messing them up. Meanwhile, Long Yi started looking from another direction.
"I found (Volume 2)." Long Yi said.
"I’m looking for (Volume 1)." Little Zi’s voice came from the pile of books. At this point, only her legs were visible outside, the rest of her body was buried in the heap of books.
"None? None? How can there be none?"
After a round of searching, Long Yi and Little Zi looked at each other in dismay. They had carefully checked each book, but there was no trace of The Brief History of the Royal Dragon Knight Academy (Volume 1).
"Forget it, let’s go. We’ll come back tomorrow." Long Yi glanced at the time on his wristband and decided to give up the search. There really wasn’t enough time.
"Oh, alright then." Little Zi regretfully looked at the Imperial Etiquette book she had opened on the ground. She squatted down and carefully hid the book under the pile, not wanting it to be carried away by someone else.
As they descended the stairs, Long Yi was quite depressed. He walked absentmindedly, and at the landing of the tenth floor, he bumped into someone, causing that person’s books to scatter all over the ground.
"Emperor?"
Long Yi was surprised as he looked at the person in front of him, then helped the Emperor up.
"I’m sorry, I was distracted and didn’t see you." Knowing the fault was on him, Long Yi apologized sincerely.
"That’s alright. I’m not at the stage where a bump would put me out of commission, hahaha!" The Emperor said softly.
"One!"
Little Zi suddenly pointed to the ground in surprise.
Long Yi looked down and sure enough, it was The Brief History of the Royal Dragon Knight Academy (Volume 1).
"Your Majesty, this book! Could I take a look?" An excited Long Yi asked.
"Oh? You’re looking for this book?" The Emperor gave Long Yi a penetrating glance.
"Yes, there’s something I suddenly developed an interest in." Realizing he was too excited, Long Yi let out a sheepish laugh and tried to cover it up. The Emperor was very clever, and Long Yi didn’t think he could fool him.
"Mm, alright. You can take it. I’ve read it many times. I came here to return it today." The Emperor suddenly smiled. He did not press Long Yi for the reason he wanted to read the book.
I love smart people!
Long Yi could barely hold back tears. That’s the advantage of a clever emperor! He definitely knew something was up but didn’t ask! It’s better if you never ask! May you never ask in your lifetime! Hahaha!
"Hey, wait. Aren’t you not allowed to take books out of here? How did you manage it?" Long Yi asked curiously.
"You should read the rules carefully. The books on the shelves are not allowed to be taken out. This book wasn’t on a shelf." The Emperor said with a smile.
Before his words could finish, Little Zi had already rushed away. A few seconds later, she was back beside Long Yi, holding the thick, full-color illustrated edition of Imperial Etiquette. The look of happiness was very evident on her face.
"Although you can take it away, remember to return it." The Emperor said smilingly, looking at Little Zi’s expression.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Long Yi saluted, turned, and ran down the stairs. When Long Yi reached the thirteenth floor, he was running out of time. If he was even a few steps slower, Bajie might get forcibly evolved out of his sleep.
Long Yi held the book in his hand firmly. Even though he wanted to read it, he was worried about any mishap along the way. Therefore, he decided to go back to the dormitory first.
