Previous customers! Princess Jin Xuelin’s eyes widened.
She cast a side-eye glance at Sun Chan, and the latter nodded without hesitation, understanding the Princess’ intention.
Liu Wei caught their interaction and sighed.
He said, "You can’t jeopardize my previous customers. I might have to forget about this all at once and have you all leave from this place."
Wang Chan was about to say something when Princess Jin Xuelin gave her an icy stare, shutting her mouth instantly.
Of course, the Princess was aware of how arrogant Wang Chan was, more arrogant than she was.
Now that the librarian himself seemed to have banned the princess of the kingdom where he was staying, Wang Chan would obviously respond.
Princess Jin Xuelin turned towards Liu Wei and lowered her head, saying in apologetic tone, "I am deeply sorry, Mr. Liu Wei. No worries. We simply want to know about your previous customers, we certainly can’t afford them, like the Sword Expert earlier." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N()velFire.net
Liu Wei’s eyes lit up.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, you met Elder Mo Fu. That’s good. Alright, I’ll trust your words. Anyway, can we go back to the main topic?"
Princess Jin Xuelin nodded as she stared at the empty book.
She asked, "How much for six months?"
Liu Wei already thought of the price when he was taking the book earlier.
He raised his hand and spread his fingers.
"Five Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Deal." Princess Jin Xuelin immediately responded.
She waved a hand to Sun Chan, who immediately brought out five Mid-Grade Spirit Stones behind her robe, dazzling Liu Wei, who was deeply stunned.
He did not expect how the negotiation went smoothly. He thought he would be able to land with three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but he did not expect to receive five of them.
Of course, I can’t be greedy. Five is enough to pay off my debt and still have an extra! I can finally learn alchemy!
Without hesitation, he opened both of his hands, receiving a leather pouch filled with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
He quickly put it in his pocket as he pushed the empty book towards Princess Jin Xuelin.
With a bright smile, he said, "You can read it now, Princess Jin Xuelin. But only you can read it since you are the one who borrows it. Let’s keep this a secret, okay?"
He swept his gaze to other women. Sun Chan nodded heavily and Wang Chan simply snorted and glanced at the Princess.
Princess Jin Xuelin could not be bothered by her behavior as her eyes were glued to the book... empty before, but now texts manifested one after another in the cover.
The way it manifested seemed to be written by an invincible hand, striking her in awe.
She mumbled, "One Arrow, Ten Thousand Hearts: A Cultivator’s Path to Archery Intent.
By Li Yunhe, also known as the "Skypiercer of the Silent Valley"."
She exclaimed, "Li Yunhe!"
Of course, he was familiar with Li Yunhe. After all, he was among those who practiced the Dao of Archery and ascended into the Spirit Ascension Domain with his talent alone.
In other words, he was a solitary cultivator who pursued the Dao of Archery in the desolate silence of the Silent Valley.
A faction in the Spirit Ascension Domain noticed his talent and offered him an invitation to become a disciple.
The faction remained unnamed in the history Princess Jin Xuelin read, but it was said to be the strongest faction who practiced archery.
For them to take notice of a cultivator in the Mortal World was indeed the wish of every cultivator.
Liu Wei heard her exclamation and smiled.
He asked, "Do you know him?"
Princess Jin Xuelin was startled and secured the book in her embrace, afraid Liu Wei would take back his words.
She then stared at him, realizing her action, and laughed awkwardly.
She replied, "Of course, I do. Every archery cultivator does. His life as a youth orphaned in war and becoming the deadliest archer in the war a hundred years ago spread in the Mortal World.
Although the war happened far from here, and in fact, the Silent Valley is a month away from this place, that does not stop his story from spreading.
Furthermore, the announcement about him, getting an invitation to become a disciple in a faction in the Spirit Ascension Domain and ascended as a result, became the fuel that spread his name around the Mortal World.
It could not be helped. He was only in the early Foundation Establishment Stage and had just reached eighteen years of age but he was already an Archery Expert.
I did not think I would be able to come across his insights here!
Have you met him in person, Mr. Liu Wei?"
Liu Wei did not expect Princess Jin Xuelin to talk a lot, as though she knew the author in person.
Thankfully, he was able to comprehend about the world even for a bit, especially the cultivators and their achievements.
He could not help but ponder while the Princess was talking earlier, Am I amazing now then that I become a Sword Expert while I’m still in the Peak Body Tempering Stage? Though, I’m already 19 years old.
Just thinking about getting an invitation to become a cultivator and cultivate martial arts made him feel weary and simply wanted to become a librarian.
His thought process was then interrupted when he was asked by the Princess.
He scratched his cheeks and said, "Ermm... I don’t know."
Princess Jin Xuelin was stunned. She then glanced at the book, slid her fingers on the surface, and determined it was indeed the original book.
Meaning, Li Yunhe wrote it personally and was now in the hands of Liu Wei.
Her eyes then widened, as though understanding something.
I understand now! Mr. Liu Wei is simply saying, "You don’t have the right to know if I know him or not. You might just use me to get closer to him. I’m a librarian who collects their books, not your butler!"
It should be, right? He might be indirectly telling me that, right?
Don’t worry, Mr. Liu Wei. I’ll earn your trust and use... Ahem. I just want to enter the faction where Li Yunhe went. I’m sure you have the means to do so.
After finally settling her wild thoughts from running wild, Princess Jin Xuelin brightly smiled and said, "I see. Don’t worry, Mr. Liu Wei. I understand!"
