There were a total of four deacons in the library: Bright, Dark, Inner, and Outer.
Among them, the Bright Deacon was in charge of maintaining order inside and outside the library. This Deacon was Li Yun; the Dark Deacon was in charge of the handover to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion; the Inner Deacon was in charge of organizing the books in the library, registering and verifying the identity of every disciple who entered and left the library. The Outer Deacon was in charge of collecting ancient books on behalf of Manjoo Zhanmu.
"Deacon Li, is it possible for me to recruit a disciple to handle these matters on my behalf?"
Qin Yu asked in a hoarse voice as he walked. He needed the position of Inner Deacon and did not want to waste his time on it.
"Of course you can. But, as an internal deacon, the most you can do is hand over the registration and verification of a disciple's status to others. As for organizing the books in Library Pavilion, you will have to do it yourself." Li Yun looked at Qin Yu strangely.
The authority of Inner Deacon was extremely high and was equivalent to that of the Pavilion Master. He could enter the first five levels of the library unimpeded!
According to the rules, ordinary disciples could enter the first level and fifth generation disciples could enter the second level. Only second generation disciples could enter the fifth level. Most second generation disciples were elders of their respective factions.
Therefore, under the second generation disciples, almost everyone wanted to become Inner Deacon of the library in order to enter the first five levels. After all, Manjoo Zhanmu's legacy was from the ancient times and the library had collected countless battle techniques, Dao techniques, pill recipes, and anecdotes.
This Empty Deacon seemed to only want the title of Deacon and was not interested in the library. How could Li Yun not be surprised? However, Qin Yu's next question made Li Yun forget about this idea.
"Which levels of the library can I enter?" Qin Yu continued to ask.
"The first five levels are unimpeded."
"Then I can't enter the sixth and seventh levels?" Qin Yu was not satisfied.
Li Yun looked at Qin Yu strangely and said, "Only first generation disciples can enter the sixth level. As for the seventh level, only a few people in the Sect are qualified."
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yu said, "Many thanks for Deacon Li's information. However, I would like to ask Deacon Li to keep my identity a secret." After saying that, Qin Yu removed his mask.
Deacon Li turned his head in confusion. When he saw Qin Yu's true appearance, Li Yun's calm face suddenly froze. His eyes widened as he stared at Qin Yu's face and exclaimed, "It's you?"
Qin Yu's heart was not in the library. Moreover, becoming a deacon would easily attract the attention of others. As time passed, his identity would be easily exposed. At the very least, it would be difficult to hide it from Li Yun. It was better to let Li Yun know his identity. This would save him a lot of trouble.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly. Deacon Li's shock was within his expectations. After all, a new disciple who was about to die had become the deacon of the library. Perhaps anyone would be shocked.
"No wonder, no wonder!
You must have made a bet with Zhang Yiwen, and that's why you're here to take the test, right?
But what's going on on the stone tablet? "Li Yun said in shock. He only felt that it was inconceivable.
Qin Yu was stunned. He was still thinking of a reason to avoid Li Yun, but Li Yun's words saved him a lot of trouble. After muttering to himself for a moment, Qin Yu said, "This is my secret. My identity is only known to you, me, the Pavilion Master, and the Earth Lineage's Grand Elder, Huang Ting.
I hope Deacon Li can keep it a secret for me. "
This sentence gave Li Yun a shock.
Secret?
You, me, the Pavilion Master, and … and Mas … Master Huang Ting?
Could it be … this … this person who is about to die is the Pavilion Master's disciple?
He knows Master too?
In an instant, Li Yun's imagination ran wild. He recalled Qin Yu's calmness when he faced Zhao Zhenyuan, and the scene on the first floor of the library. Li Yun wanted to ask if Qin Yu was the Pavilion Master's disciple …
Seeing the shock in Li Yun's eyes, Qin Yu let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, Qin Yu's words were very vague and could easily be misunderstood. Originally, Qin Yu only wanted to bring up the Pavilion Master. After all, the Pavilion Master did know his identity. As for Master Huang Ting, Qin Yu conveniently brought it up. After all, this old fellow's status was not low.
However, Qin Yu never thought that the serious Li Yun in front of him would be the disrespectful Master's First Disciple, which was also his First Senior Brother.
This could not be blamed on Qin Yu. After all, Huang Ting left in a hurry and did not reveal to Qin Yu that there were other disciples. Therefore, Qin Yu did not think in this direction at all, so he did not ask Chu Yuechan back then.
"Deacon Li, there are some things I'll have to trouble you with. I need to prepare for the disciple selection in two years." As he spoke, Qin Yu took off his black robe and openly entered the library.
As for whether the matter would be exposed or not, Qin Yu was not worried. Li Yun would definitely not ask the Pavilion Master. As for Master … Not to mention that he did not come back, even if he came back, wouldn't that be better?
If he was here, would he still need to rack his brains?
Li Yun was stunned and did not come back to his senses for a long time. Looking at Qin Yu's back, he took a few deep breaths and connected all of Qin Yu's words. This Nothingness is very likely to be the Pavilion Master's disciple. Could it be that Master has returned from the Martial Kingdom?
Is he also there?
Wait … Disciple selection?
With his cultivation at the early stage of Gang Qi, he can participate in the disciple selection?
It seems that he really is the Pavilion Master's disciple. The Pavilion Master has always been mysterious. He probably does not want to reveal the matter of accepting a disciple.
Just like this, Qin Yu scared his First Senior Brother for the first time.
After leaving the Library Pavilion, Qin Yu did not immediately go to read the ancient books. Instead, he returned to his room to cultivate.
Time was of the essence. Qin Yu needed to break through to the Heaven Tempering Realm within a year. This was not a small challenge for Qin Yu.
But what Qin Yu did not expect was that when he returned, a figure was standing in front of his room. Looking closely, who else could it be but Zhang Yiwen?
Zhang Yiwen taking the initiative to come over surprised Qin Yu and made him secretly vigilant.
"Are you in cahoots with Nothingness?" Zhang Yiwen saw Qin Yu and ran over angrily, shouting angrily.
Qin Yu coldly glanced at Zhang Yiwen and said, "With my identity as an ordinary disciple, do you think I would know Nothingness?"
Zhang Yiwen's expression froze. The last bit of hope in his heart was wiped away. He stared at Qin Yu, his eyes sometimes filled with hostility and sometimes with struggle.
Qin Yu quietly looked at Zhang Yiwen. The Thunder Clap had already flowed into his meridians.
"Name a price." Zhang Yiwen seemed to have overcome his anger. He gritted his teeth and said.
"Name a price?
How much are you worth?
I did not fulfill the bet in the Library Pavilion. I have already given you enough face, right? "Qin Yu said coldly.
Zhang Yiwen's face twitched. It was because Qin Yu did not mention the bet in the Library Pavilion that Zhang Yiwen's anger subsided. That was why he came here.
"It's impossible for me to be your servant!
I'll give you 30 contribution points and we'll end this matter here. How about it? "Zhang Yiwen said.
"If you don't want to fulfill the bet, then leave. The contribution points are still for your own use."
Qin Yu said indifferently. Asking Zhang Yiwen to be his servant was just following Zhang Yiwen's words. He did not really want Zhang Yiwen to be his servant.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu pushed open the door and walked in. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard Zhang Yiwen gnash his teeth and say, "Fine!
I'll be your servant, but you can't spread the news.
Otherwise … otherwise I … "
Qin Yu turned a deaf ear and closed the door.
Zhang Yiwen looked at the tightly shut door, his expression uncertain. If it weren't for Chu Yuechan and the other disciples, he really would have turned around and left, but they had all heard it. If he didn't abide by the bet, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to raise his head in the Sect.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zhang Yiwen was comforting himself. Wasn't this Qin Yu someone who was about to die?
There were only two years left before the three years. As long as Qin Yu did not make it public, so what if he was his servant for two years?
"Go and find out what Zhao Zhenyuan has been doing recently.
Then come back and protect me. I need to go into seclusion for a while. "Qin Yu's voice came from the room.
Zhang Yiwen hesitated for a moment, snorted, and turned to leave.
Qin Yu, who was in the room, smiled.
Another person who thought he was about to die?
He wondered what these people's expressions would be like three years later.
As for that Zhao Zhenyuan, he was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. By all reasoning, he should have already made his move. But during this period of time, Qin Yu needed to go into seclusion and didn't want to be disturbed, so he had Zhang Yiwen inquire about this matter.
Qin Yu did not know that Zhao Zhenyuan could not wait to hide from him. How would he dare to find trouble with him?
When he heard Zhang Wei say that Lie Ao was guiding Qin Yu in his cultivation, Zhao Zhenyuan was so scared that he did not dare to step out of the door.
