Chapter 217 - The Descent Of Norfis (1/2)
Ye Xiao was actually not very interested in the words of the director.
What he wanted to do the most was to read books and increase his cultivation. Other than that, he was not interested in anything else in the secular world other than food.
The identity of a librarian was just a mask that he used to hide his true identity. At the same time, it was also so that he could better read books in the library.
If it was really about getting a promotion and a raise, Ye Xiao was willing to do nothing.
However, if it was about going out for training, then it was not possible.
It would waste too much time.
"How long does it take to go out and study?"
"About a month or so. The time is not long. Moreover, the Zhong provinces' library is very big, and many cultivation techniques are more advanced.
"I think you should go over and take a look. Raise your vision and your ability."
When Ye Xiao heard that, his eyes suddenly lit up.
It was not for other reasons, but for what the director had just said, the Zhong Library.
As the lifeline of the entire Zhong province's economy and culture, the scale of the Zhong city far exceeded that of Jianghai city. Even if Jianghai city would expand in the future, at least it had not reached that level yet.
Therefore, he really should go out and take a look.
Perhaps he might even be able to grasp some decent martial arts techniques and martial arts knowledge that he had never understood before.
With that in mind, he nodded and agreed.
"Alright, then I'll listen to your advice. I'll go back and tell Yang Xi to work hard for the next few days and manage the area by herself."
"There's no need. I've already reported her to the higher-ups. She's my niece. I just want to take this opportunity to train her. When the time comes, help me take care of her."
"...
"But what about my area? Originally, it was only me and Yang Xi. Now, she's gone too."
"You don't have to worry about that. I've already thought about it. Ask Liu Chengxun to send someone from next door to help you. You just have to tell him that it was me who said it.
"There are still two administrators in his district."
"Alright, I got it."
Ouyang Yunzhong nodded in satisfaction. Then, her expression became serious again.
"When you guys come back from your study this time, the expansion of the library should have been completed.
"At that time, many new books will be added.
"The new director should also come.
"In the past, if you guys made a small mistake or something, I could still protect you guys. But in the future, you have to behave yourself.
"In short, do a good job and your position won't be low in the future."
Ye Xiao nodded in response.
"Alright, let's put it this way. I'll put your name on the list later. You should get ready. We should set off the day after tomorrow."
"Okay."
After Ye Xiao left the director's office, he arrived at his own area. Yang Xi had not returned yet. She was called into the director's office after him. She might have something to tell him.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Ye Xiao went next door to look for Liu Chengxun.
He had just arrived when he saw Liu Chengxun from afar. He was staring at the pile of broken iron on the table in a daze. There was a hint of nostalgia in his expression. Clearly, he was a little sad.
Just as he was about to speak, Piao Jiansheng, who was reading at the side, made a silent gesture. Then, he whispered,
"Mr. Ye, Don't disturb my master. Let him be alone for a while!"
Ye Xiao seemed to have thought of something and nodded.
Piao Jiansheng explained,
"That sword was left to my master by his master. It can be said to be an ancestral item of our sect. But the last time, when the alliance leader of the Beast God Alliance, Long Tu, came, he destroyed it. So recently, Master has been blaming himself. He often stared at this pile of broken swords in a daze."
"I see."
It was no wonder that Liu Chengxun felt a little sad when his ancestral item was destroyed.
However, he had also caused the sword to shatter in order to help Jianghai city, and he had almost died an unnatural death.
Moreover, he had also taken the initiative to help him with medicinal pills previously. He should have helped him both professionally and personally!
In any case, it was not a difficult matter for him.
Thinking of that, he walked forward.
"Old Liu."
Liu Chengxun woke up and glanced at him.
"It's Ye Xiao. What's the matter?"
"The director wants me to go out and study for a month. Yang Xi, one of my subordinates, is also going, so there's no one to help me look after the area this month. The director wants me to look for you. I hope that you can assign one of your subordinates to look after it for me."
Liu Chengxun nodded.
"No problem. I'll talk to them later and arrange for someone to go over."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After pausing for a moment, Ye Xiao spoke again,
"Your sword is broken. Aren't you going to find someone to fix it?"
Liu Chengxun shook his head.
"It might not be easy to find. The power of this sword has already reached the level of an imperial weapon. It's impossible to fix it unless one is a very high-level blacksmith.
