Elsewhere, a white cloud floated in space. It couldn't be seen from the outside, but within the cloud, Destiny Girl was stunned. This was the first time someone had ended a call without warning. This was too much.
Destiny Girl stared at the wireless gu in a daze for a long time.
Lu Yin didn't even consider Destiny Girl's feelings. He had asked the Fog Ancestor to bring him to the Neoverse to find Xiao Shi and take a look at his book.
…
In the Neoverse, the ruins of Original Boundary Mountain had been turned into a plain. Although there was no Boundary Mountain, the Hall of Honor's cultivators had set up a beautiful scene with stars hanging in the sky. There were also many great worlds here, but there was no Boundary Mountain.
Lu Yin was led here by the Fog Ancestor. He only greeted Senior Qing Ping and found Xiao Shi, but he didn't meet anyone else.
This concerned the Book of Destiny, and if Xiao Shi's book was real, then it definitely couldn't be exposed.
At this moment, Xiao Shi was sitting in a corner of the Hall of Honor's library. There were books scattered all around him, and his entire body was buried in them. He even had his largest book on his head as he shook his head and muttered to himself. There was no one around him, and he was muttering to himself.
Not just anyone could enter the Hall of Honor's library, and it was very large. Some people could only look at the first floor, but not the second. However, Xiao Shi could look at everything.
He was currently sitting in the corner on the top floor of the library. He only liked to read here without being disturbed.
Lu Yin appeared beside Xiao Shi and looked at him quietly.
The Fog Ancestor stood beside Lu Yin and stared at Xiao Shi in shock.
What kind of hairstyle is this? Her face twitched, and she returned to the mirror. This hairstyle made her want to beat someone up. What kind of person would have such a hairstyle?
"What are you looking at?"
Lu Yin crouched down and asked.
Xiao Shi didn't even notice that there was someone beside him. "History."
"What kind of history?"
"Lost history."
"Which era?"
"The Dao." Xiao Shi suddenly stopped and slowly turned around. When he saw Lu Yin face to face, his expression changed. "Ah!" He was frightened, and his face went pale as he stared at Lu Yin with his mouth agape.
Lu Yin blinked. "Am I that scary?"
Xiao Shi stared at Lu Yin and pushed up his glasses. "Br- Brother Lu?"
Lu Yin smiled and nodded.
Xiao Shi swallowed his saliva and his face turned even paler. He slowly retreated and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Lu, Big Brother Lu, why are you looking for me?
I … I wasn't thinking about you. "
Lu Yin was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Shi trembled. "Big Brother Lu, I'm not the one who killed you. Why are you looking for me?
Go find someone else. I-I-I'm scared. "
When he saw Xiao Shi's terrified expression, he suddenly realized something. "You thought I was dead?
Speaking of which, how long has it been since you went out? "
"Where to?"
Xiao Shi's voice trembled.
"Outside the library," Lu Yin said.
Xiao Shi was at a loss. "It, it's been a long time."
"About a year," Lu Yin was speechless.
Xiao Shi blinked and looked at the messy books around him. "Not just that."
"I'm not dead. I came back a year ago. Don't be afraid."
Little Shi's eyes widened. "He didn't die?
Didn't everyone say you were dead?
Don't lie to me. I-I'm scared. Really. Don't look for me, okay? Look for Elder Chan, the head judge. Oh, right, look for Xiao Chi too.
He's been wanting you to cut his mushroom hair. "
Lu Yin laughed strangely. "Didn't you ask me to cut this mushroom hair?"
"He thought of it first." Xiao Shi was about to cry.
Lu Yin suddenly placed a hand on his shoulder, causing Xiao Shi to freeze. "Alright, I'm really not dead. Don't be afraid. I met Elder Chan and the rest a long time ago."
Xiao Shi stared at Lu Yin blankly. "You're really not dead?"
"You want me to die?"
Lu Yin glared at him.
Xiao Shi exhaled and patted his chest. He looked at Lu Yin reproachfully. "You scared me to death. Big Brother Lu, why didn't you make a sound when you walked?"
"I wasn't walking." Lu Yin rolled his eyes. His gaze was attracted by the huge book on Xiao Shi's head. It was half a meter thick, and only Xiao Shi could see the words in it.
"Big Brother Lu, didn't they say you were dead?
And it's been twenty years. Why haven't you appeared? "
Xiao Shi was puzzled.
Lu Yin replied, "I went into seclusion. Alright, don't ask any more questions. I need to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
Xiao Shi did not understand, and he took the book off his head and held it tightly.
Lu Yin pointed at the book. "Open this book and let me take a look."
Xiao Shi was puzzled and did as he was told. "Big Brother Lu, I thought you couldn't see the words?"
Lu Yin was about to speak when the wireless gu in his pocket moved. He took it out and saw that it was Hen Xin.
"We've reached the path of despair, but there's no way to control it. The space here is too weak, and even an Explorer can tear it apart. Once we do, it might expose the path to the Sixth Mainland and attract the Eternals." Hen Xin sent a message helplessly.
No matter how powerful he was, this was not something that could be done with his cultivation unless he could freeze the void like Mister Mu.
He could do that, but the Astral Beast Domain must have been prepared. They had observed these cultivators from the Above Heaven era for twenty years, so how could they not understand them? Otherwise, Imperial Tutor Skymender would not have been so confident that he could threaten Lu Yin.
"I know. Let's wait there for now," Lu Yin replied.
Hen Xin paused, but he could only reply, "Okay."
Lu Yin put down the wireless gu and asked under Xiao Shi's puzzled gaze, "Can't anyone else see the words?"
Xiao Shi shook his head. "No one else can see it besides me, but it doesn't matter. The head referee believes me, and so does Senior Chan. He even told me to come to the library when I'm free and not to stay cooped up in the History Research Institute all day."
Xiao Shi then opened the book.
Lu Yin looked at it, and sure enough, it was blank. He still could not see anything.
He was puzzled. "Xiao Shi, what technique did you cultivate?"
Xiao Shi blinked. "The Martial Enlightenment Technique."
Lu Yin was surprised. "The same as Master Yuan's?"
Xiao Shi nodded and clenched his fists in excitement. "Master Yuan is the teacher of many people, and I want to learn the Martial Enlightenment Technique like him." However, he soon became dejected. "It's a pity that it's the same no matter how hard I try. I don't have the talent for cultivation."
"Have you learned the Xuantian Mirror before?"
Lu Yin asked.
Xiao Shi shook his head and suddenly exclaimed, "There are words in the book."
Lu Yin looked at it, but it was blank.
"The Xuantian Mirror is a cultivation technique for fate. There are pros and cons, and it's one of the keys to prying into the river of fate," Xiao Shi read out.
Lu Yin hurriedly said, "Check on fate. I want to know everything about fate."
Xiao Shi grunted and lowered his head.
He suddenly shrieked and fell over while clutching his head.
Lu Yin was shocked and hurriedly supported Xiao Shi. "Xiao Shi, what's wrong?"
Xiao Shi seemed to be in great pain. "Br- Brother Lu, my head's about to split open."
Lu Yin hurriedly closed the book and blamed himself for being too rash. If this book really was the Book of Fate, then the consequences of using it to investigate fate would be unimaginable. How could a book written by fate pry into itself?
After a while, Xiao Shi recovered and asked curiously, "What's going on?
I've never been like this before. "
Xiao Shi muttered to himself, "Am I sick?
What's growing in my head?
No, I have to check. "He then opened the book again. Lu Yin took a look and relaxed when he saw that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Shi.
"One, two, three … Many diseases occur in the brain. What's wrong with me?"
Xiao Shi studied the book intently.
Lu Yin laughed and closed the book. He met Xiao Shi's puzzled gaze and asked seriously, "Xiao Shi, where did you get this book?"
"I found it in the History Research Institute."
The first time Lu Yin had met Xiao Shi, he had also answered in the same way. "It's not your innate gift or anything like that."
Xiao Shi shook his head. "Senior Chan, even the head judge asked me about it. It really isn't my innate gift. I found it in the History Research Institute, and there are records of it. This book has been in there for many, many years, and it's always been in the corner of a table. I flipped through it out of curiosity, and there's a lot of knowledge in it."
Lu Yin looked at the book that was half a meter thick. He wasn't sure if this was the Book of Fate or not.
Since ancient times, humans had lived for countless years and given birth to countless wondrous items. The Book of Fate might not be the only book type item.
"Xiao Shi, do you want to come with me to the Above Heaven Sect?"
Lu Yin asked. He wanted to take Xiao Shi with him. If he could confirm that this book was the Book of Fate, then things would be different, even though he didn't know how to use it.
Xiao Shi shook his head. "I still want to stay here. There's the library, the History Research Institute, and Xiao Chi here. I don't want to leave."
Lu Yin sighed. "Alright," he took out a wireless Gu and gave it to Xiao Shi. "Contact me if there's anything. Also, promise me something."
Xiao Shi put the Gu away. "Brother Lu, what is it?"
"Don't tell anyone about this book. Remember, anyone, especially anyone you don't know. Uh, women," Lu Yin reminded him. With Destiny's Daughter's abilities, she might be able to find Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi nodded, but he was still confused. "Women?"
He licked his lips, feeling both expectant and apprehensive. "Women? How do I find a woman?
None of the women here are willing to talk to me. They all look down on me. "
That's right, Lu Yin wanted to say. With his hairstyle and temperament, he didn't look like someone who could ask a woman out.
Lu Yin patted Xiao Shi's shoulder and encouraged him. "Don't worry, it's just not time yet. I believe that in the near future, there will be a girl waiting for you. She'll appreciate your knowledge and your kindness." He paused and then added against his will, "She'll worship your hairstyle."
Xiao Shi's eyes lit up, and he became excited. "Really?
Will there really be one?
Will there really be a woman who can understand the romance of our mushroom hairstyle? "
"Definitely," Lu Yin said with certainty.
Xiao Shi nodded heavily. "Thank you, Brother Lu. I wanted to change my hairstyle, and Xiao Chi was discouraged, but your words ignited our passion. Brother Lu, you're the best."
Lu Yin was stunned. He seemed to have done something wrong.
