315 Controlled fusion (1/2)

When Zhou Yingxue heard Ren Xiaosu address her as ”auntie,” she couldn't hold it in any longer. Thinking of how she was only 25 years old and still in her prime, how did she end up being called an auntie?

Of course, Ren Xiaosu did not really think that Zhou Yingxue was old. It was just that he had seen her outside before.

The people from the Intelligence Service who were watching Ren Xiaosu thought their tailing operation was flawless. They even believed that Ren Xiaosu was extremely stupid to not have noticed them.

But actually, Ren Xiaosu purely didn't care about them as he just wanted to heal from his injuries.

Besides, it would have been better if they had gotten some nanosoldiers to come and keep watch on him. Normal people were not able to arouse Ren Xiaosu's interest in the slightest.

However, Zhou Yingxue was not an average person either. She said with a smile, ”At my age, it's more appropriate if you address me as big sister. Are you familiar with the library?”

”No.” Ren Xiaosu shook his head.

Zhou Yingxue was stunned. He had been coming to the library every single day for almost half a month now, yet he was saying he was not familiar with it?

She continued with a smile, ”I'm looking for a book titled The Theory of Time. Do you know where it is?”

Ren Xiaosu looked up at her. He had already given an attitude, trying to distance himself from her, yet she still persisted in striking up a conversation with him.

But at this moment, the voice from the palace said, ”Quest: Help the knowledge seeker determine the correct location of the book.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Why did this quest have to be assigned to him now of all times? Moreover, the quest even specifically stated it had to be the correct location, so he could not just point to a random spot. However, he really did not know where the book was.

He would have to do the quest no matter what. He looked at Zhou Yingxue and tried his luck by saying, ”The Theory of Time must be in this library. Why don't you look for it yourself?”

Zhou Yingxue was taken aback by the answer. 'You might as well say that the book is inside Stronghold 88! Of course I know it's in this library!'

However, Ren Xiaosu didn't care about that. He thought that since the palace was just asking him to pinpoint the correct location, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the book was right here in the library, right?

The voice from the palace said, ”Quest complete. Awarded Basic Skill Duplication Scroll.”

Ren Xiaosu wanted to give his own ingenuity a thumbs up. There was probably no one else who could match him in terms of exploiting loopholes when it came to doing quests!

Seeing how awkward it was, An Yuqian quickly found the book titled The Theory of Time and handed it to Zhou Yingxue. Zhou Yingxue got very frustrated but could not vent.

At this moment, a group of people came into the library from outside. It was Wang Yuchi and the others.

When they came to the table where Ren Xiaosu was, they were a little taken aback when they saw Zhou Yingxue sitting there as well. They were used to sitting together at this table to study by themselves.

If Zhou Yingxue was seated here, they would have a stranger in between them. That would make it very awkward, and they would have to be very careful with their words.

They would often discuss some secretive topics during their conversations. After all, they knew too much, so they would unintentionally bring it up while talking.

Zhou Yingxue knew these people wanted to sit together with Ren Xiaosu, but she just pretended to focus on her book and sat there without any intention of excusing herself.

Someone wanted to ask Zhou Yingxue if she could change seats but was stopped by Wang Yuchi. ”The library is a public place, so we have no reason to disturb others from reading where they want.”
