The Accountant's eyes widened. "What?
You dare call me a loser?
Do you know I was being merciful yesterday?
If it weren't for a beautiful woman on our side, do you really think you could've beaten me? "
Su He turned to Lan Jue. "Let's go.
The car's waiting outside. "
Lan Jue nodded. "Alright."
"Hey, are you guys even listening to me?!" The Accountant shouted.
"Shut up!" Lin Guo-guo shook her fist at him.
Planet Lyr was a world of the sea, so the capital city of Lyr was a port city. It was the only way the city could access the ocean's resources.
Lan Jue vaguely remembered that Neptune's Group was a force to be reckoned with. But this time he didn't bring Huali or Chu Cheng.
Huali didn't want to leave because she didn't want Mo Xiao to find out. As for Chu Cheng, he said he wanted to stay and train hard. Lan Jue didn't know the real reason.
The maglev car was already waiting outside the arrival hall. It was large enough to hold a dozen people.
"Lan Jue, do you want to rest first, or do you want to go see the Professor?" Su He asked Lan Jue, ignoring the Accountant's presence.
Lan Jue replied. "Let's go see the Professor first.
It'll show we're being respectful.
It'll be more relaxing to visit Lyr after we've finished our business. "
The Keeper had been very kind to him, so he had to be the first to complete the task.
Su He smiled. "Alright, we'll go see the Professor first.
But.
The Professor's temper isn't good.
You'll have to bear with him. "
Lan Jue nodded.
The maglev car picked up speed.
As they sped along the streets, they peered out the window at the city's strangeness.
Lan Jue had never been to Planet Lir before. He looked out the window and saw a blue city.
The streets were light blue, and the buildings on both sides were all blue in color.
There are no other colors.
Even some plants were blue in color.
It was like a blue world.
No wonder when Zeus -1 landed on Lyr, the planet was completely blue. They couldn't even tell the difference between land and ocean.
"Senior, the people of Planet Lir seem to like the color blue!" Lan Jue asked curiously.
Su He nodded and said, "Yes.
Planet Lyr was a very strange planet. All the plants and animals were blue.
Moreover, it contained an abundance of water element.
Although the entire planet was covered by the sea, natural disasters such as tsunamis were rare.
Marine life was abundant but also very gentle.
In terms of overall environment, although it couldn't compare to Taihua, it was still very unique.
There are some special islands that are perfect for honeymoon holidays.
If you get married in the future, you can bring your wife here to play. "
Hearing the word 'wife'.
Lan Jue felt a pang in his heart. He nodded gently.
But he was no longer in the mood to look at his surroundings.
"Oh, right.
Lan Jue.
If I remember correctly, there will be an auction in Lyr City tomorrow.
It's the biggest one in years, and the items up for auction are some of the best specialties of Planet Lyr.
I heard that the final item will be an s-ranked power gem.
Of course, I can't be sure.
You know that s-ranked power gems are a strategic resource.
Even if there are, they can only be sold within the Eastern Alliance. They can't be sold outside. "
"S-ranked gems?" Lan Jue's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the name. This was a rare gem.
He had a collection of s-ranked gems, but they were all very useful. "If possible, let's go take a look tomorrow."
Su He smiled. "No problem. I'll arrange it.
I'm going too. "
The maglev flying car flew for more than half an hour before coming to a stop in front of a quaint building.
When they saw it, Lan Jue and the Accountant's eyes narrowed. The building in front of them looked exactly like the Skyfire Library.
As they got out of the car, Su He lifted his head to look at the building. He sighed. "Professor's obsession was always there.
This must be the same as the library on Skyfire Avenue, right? "
The Accountant nodded. "It's exactly the same!"
"Let's go," Su He said.
"Let's go.
I've already sent him a message to let him know I'm back. "
As he spoke, he led Lan Jue and the others into the building.
As soon as they entered, Lan Jue and the Accountant were surprised.
This building looked exactly like the Skyfire Library, but inside, there wasn't a single book.
The hall was empty, only some empty bookshelves were placed here.
Su He smiled wryly. "Professor said that one day he'd win back what he lost. He'd fill this place with his spoils."
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This trip wouldn't be as easy as he'd imagined.
They climbed up the stairs, all the way to the third floor.
The interior of the building was exactly the same as the one in the Skyfire Library.
Lan Jue knew the Keeper was right. Skyfire Library had to have been built by the Bookworm, otherwise he wouldn't have been so familiar with its structure. How else would he be able to replicate it?
The five of them came to a room. Even the location was the same as the one Lan Jue had left the day before.
Su He lifted a hand and gently knocked on the door.
A deep, ancient voice answered. "Come in."
Pushing the door open, Lan Jue, Lin Guo-guo, and Xiu Xiu signaled to each other. The two women stopped outside, but didn't enter.
Inside the room, an old man was sitting behind a simple and unadorned desk. He was reading a newspaper in his hand.
His clothes were unkempt. Not only were they filthy, but they were torn and tattered.
His hair was as white as snow, and only the edges of his scalp remained.
His face was dotted with age spots, and a pair of thick glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.
His breathing was heavy.
No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a candle in the wind.
"Professor, I'm back." Su He's voice was soft.
"Oh!
You won? "The old man's voice was soft, but his eyes never left the newspaper in front of him.
"Yes, I won," Su He said.
"You deserved to win," the old man said.
"That old bastard had no successor."
When the Accountant heard this, he was about to step forward to speak, but Lan Jue held him back.
The old man's voice was soft. "Who gave you permission to bring unrelated people here?
Let them out. "
Su He paused. "Professor," he said quickly.
"These two are from Skyfire Avenue."
"I said, let them out.
Don't you understand? "
The old man suddenly raised his head. His dim yellow eyes suddenly became sharp, and a powerful aura burst forth from the old man's body.
Peak ninth level energy.
Lan Jue was quick to judge the old man's cultivation.
Su He didn't dare try to dissuade him. He looked apologetically at Lan Jue.
Lan Jue smiled. "Bookworm, is this how you treat your guest?
I don't just represent the Keeper, I represent Skyfire Avenue.
I'm sure you've made friends on Skyfire Avenue, as well as enemies.
Why keep them at arm's length? "
The old man's mouth twitched. "You're so young, and you dare say you can represent Skyfire Avenue?
It looks like Skyfire Avenue hasn't been doing very well these past few years. They've taken in all sorts of people. "
Lan Jue smiled. She produced her Skyfire Council badge and placed it on the table in front of the old man.
The old man's face changed when he saw the badge. He picked it up and studied it for a moment, but with a flick of his wrist the badge flew to Lan Jue.
Lan Jue caught it.
"So what if you can represent Skyfire Avenue," the old man said softly.
"I've had nothing to do with Skyfire Avenue for a long time."
Lan Jue sighed. "Old Bookworm, you really are getting old.
It looks like I made a mistake coming here. You've long since given up on the chance to defeat the Keeper.
If you've lost your faith, then what's the point of me coming here? "
The old man paused, then turned his head to look at him.
Their eyes met, and Lan Jue felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. He was surprised to find that he wasn't looking at a person, but at an encyclopedia. The old man's eyes were deep, all-encompassing.
Even with his tenacious willpower, he felt his heart waver.
But the dizziness only lasted for a moment. Lan Jue pulled himself together, then spun around and slapped the Accountant across the face.
The Accountant wasn't prepared, and even if he had been, he wouldn't have been a match for Lan Jue.
The Accountant's body twitched, and he crumpled to the floor. He stared at Lan Jue in disbelief.
Lan Jue's voice was placid. "He's the Keeper's only grandson. I think this is enough to prove my sincerity in helping you."
Lan Jue's actions surprised Su He. Even the Bookworm was taken aback.
"You help me?
How are you going to help me? "The Bookworm's voice was cold.
Lan Jue replied. "I'm a member of Skyfire Avenue, but I'm also an Adept.
I need an ally.
I'm confident I'll be able to reach that level in the future.
But I don't have enough power to support me.
Skyfire Avenue was far too powerful for its own good.
So, I hope I can get your help.
If you can defeat the Keeper, and regain control of Skyfire Library.
For me, that's a good thing.
I just hope that if you succeed, you'll support me. "
The Bookworm's eyes flickered. "You want to be the ruler of Skyfire Avenue?"
