Chapter 71: Appointment

Damn it!

It’s all that bitches fault!

It’s all because of that Bai Yunxian! If it weren’t for him, then I wouldn’t get humiliated like this today!

Beauty Chu felt offended by the unfairness caused by the guys because of Bai Yunxian as she bit her nail in anxiety and glared at him silently.

Of course because she can only swallow her anger in silence. She couldn’t do anything to the top student of the Academy so carelessly.

“Let’s go, Zhan. we don’t have so much time to waste in our hands.” Bai Yunxian called for his friends as he started walking back. Although he really wanted to strangle that guy and take his head from his shoulder, it wasn’t the proper time to show his tyranny.

He didn’t want to gain a bad reputation for now, not when he still hadn’t met that person yet.

“Martial Arena, is it? Get ready for it, Shen Xia, I challenge you to a life-death match. I’ll make you so miserable that you won’t ever think of leaving your room, much less try to get your hand on my brother!”

Jiao Zhan threw a handkerchief on Shen Xia’s face mercilessly out of nowhere that he was caught off guard, as a result of getting smacked on his face with it.

“Ha! Fine, if you want to do it like this, then I agree. However, if you were to fail in this match, then don’t interfere with him and me like the third person you are!”

Shen Xia was confident in his swordsmanship which made him arrogantly accept the challenge, not knowing what’s bound to happen in the future.

While at the same time, Jiao Zhan felt both anxious and determined at the same time to protect the honor of his friend and brother as they left.

“Are you confident about winning, Zhan?” Yu Ming asked in a small and worried voice, concerned about his friend.

“I know it was a hasty decision, but I’ll work hard and win in order not to tarnish my reputation. I promise you that, Yunxian. That shameless freak wouldn’t be able to pester you anymore…huh? Are you mad, Yunxian?”

Jiao Zhan almost freaked out when he saw the gloomy expression on Bai Yunxian’s face. But Bai Yunxiann nodded his head as he smiled, “Why would I be angry over someone who stood up for me?”

“Your complexion doesn’t look good. What are you thinking? I promise I’ll keep my words, I won’t let you down, brother.”

It seems that Jiao Zhan was genuinely worried for him, which made Bai Yunxian’s mood improve.

“I’m not angry at you or anything, stop assuming things. Rather, you should look out for yourself, Brother Jiao. Don’t push yourself too hard and train modestly.”

“Haha! I know. Rest assured, brother. I’ll kick that punk’s ass so hard that he won’t dare to look at your way anymore!”

Jiao Zhan said with confidence as he patted his arm to show Bai Yunxian how cool he was, at this, the other boys also jumped over his shoulder as they laughed and chatted throughout the meal.

When the others were laughing and chatting, Bai Yunxian was immersed in a different thought.

’Perhaps, it would be best for me to visit the library.’

Even if he heard about the ’demon instructor’ they were talking about, it would be fine as long as he didn’t cross paths with him, right?

In a trance, as Bai Yunxian was thinking, he was already standing before the library building before he knew it.

“…”

Sigh…

’Whatever, I should just walk inside first. I have far more important things to do, this can’t be delayed any further.’

As Bai Yunxian thought, he walked inside with a farm footing.

The librarian was familiar with Bai Yunxian, because ever since the first time he came in the Academy, he has been frequenting the library the most out of all the students within the Academy.

And because of his polite manners and thrist for knowledge, the female librarian was also very impressed.

“Madam, in which section can I find the books on inscription? I tried to find them yesterday but to no avail.”

Bai Yunxian asked in a quiet voice as he looked concerned, but the librarian’s brow creased into a half moon after hearing the question.

“Why do you need those books? Inscription isn’t that popular topic within the research, and there are many few books I can find on them. They are stored in the hidden section of the library, I can’t let you get access unless you get permission from a higher up or from a teacher.”

That was the main problem for him to reach or get through this, because if he wants to ask a favor from any teacher, then he needs to get on their good side. However, the teachers would look at him in a strange way, which is why Bai Yunxian didn’t bother to get to know with them.

If he needs to bother a higher up, he could get a little help from his half-brother, however, Bai Yunxian didn’t want to rely on his family’s power to get his own things done.

He didn’t want to use them for his own selfish purpose.

Looks like I wouldn’t be able to learn the inscription in this life too.

Bai Yunxian was disappointed, even the librarian could feel how gloomy his thought was.

Out of pity for the meticulous and obedient child, she hesitated a little before saying, “If you don’t have anyone to support, then, may I make a little recommendation? I think it will may be of a great help to you.”

“Oh? I’ll be very grateful if you say so.”

To get an offer like this suddenly out of a kind heart, Bai Yunxian’s heart raced with excitement as he looked at the librarian with twinkling eyes, which caught the woman off guard.

’This child is so cute!’

It was only something natural for her to help this cute kid.

In an instant, the aged librarian’s motherly affection came out as she poured it onto him.

She started to talk with a calm, whispering voice, enough for Bai Yunxian to hear everything clearly as she described, “Ah, it’s not that hard. It’s just that, there is a higher up teacher of the Academy who frequently visits the library as well. He is a reputable teacher with a strict upbringing, and he is very mysterious to figure him out. However, I think if a good child like you wanted to get help on a subject, there is no way he would reject you!”

“That man is very unpredictable and eccentric, and a few students know of him. However, I’m certain that he is a higher up of the Academy, and it’s a good thing that he is here today. You are very lucky to have come here today, kid. You should go and ask him for a recommendation letter, if you have one then you can surf through the Library’s hidden section as much as you want!”

If it was true, then there is no reason to hesitate.

However, suddenly, Bai Yunxian had a flashback of the memories about what he heard of the mysterious man through his friends, and his hands trembled like dry leafs on top of the tree on a winter day.

Was it him?

If so, then what if he tried to harass Bai Yunxian? There would be no one to help him at that time.

However, learning the inscription was must if he wanted to completely get rid of the red flag surrounding him. To get rid of the Crown Prince, to get rid of those bastards, to protect his mother and live a happy, worry free life where no one can harass him or threaten him… he must learn many things and become stronger.

After burning half a stick of incense, Bai Yunxian stood up as he made up his mind.

Walking towards the librarian, he lifted the mountain of various books and placed them in front of the woman.

Bai Yunxian tried his best not to show the anxiety within him as he tried to ask with a calm voice, “Where is that person right now? Can I have an appointment with him?”

“Of course, he is on the second floor of the library right now. However, I think I’ll need to get his permission before I set the appointment.” The librarian stood up while talking, as she was preparing to leave for the person.

“Stay here and wait for me, it won’t take long.” She said as she started walking through the stairs.

“Yes, thank you.” Bai Yunxian didn’t forget to thank the librarian for her kindness despite going through the trouble. Though his mind wasn’t stable right now, he felt anxious a few seconds after the librarian woman was gone.

After pacing left and right for more than fifteen minutes before the librarian finally came down from upstairs.

“Mrs.? What happened? Did the teacher agree?
