Cultivators Are So Weak in This World-Chapter 102: Line 98, Part 2
"Sigh, brother, you’re not being honest." Li Huoyun pointed at him and complained, "Alright, alright, if you don’t want to go, we won’t. But the day after tomorrow, the Yao Yuan Book Club will have an ancient and old book fair. Are you going?"
"Ancient and old books?" Zhang Rongfang squinted, "Are there any martial arts manuals?"
"Of course, there are. All kinds of miscellaneous books will be there. The fair hosted by the Yao Yuan Book Club is considered the largest exchange venue of its kind in Tan Yang.
The key point is, this time, there will be even more young ladies from deep-seated boudoirs attending than last time. It’s an event organized by us young people, so if you have books, you can bring them for exchange. Hehehe...."
Li Huoyun was becoming increasingly uninhibited.
He placed emphasis on the word ’books’ at the end, making it clear that Zhang Rongfang understood instantly what he meant.
Oh my, even erotic books...
This Great Spirit is quite open-minded.
"Alright, let’s go together then." Although he originally didn’t want to go, Zhang Rongfang thought that if he could find some cultivation techniques similar to the Void Observation Skill in those ancient books, it wouldn’t be bad.
Martial arts manuals, as such, are considered resources.
Previously, Zhang Rongfang had also searched through some pawnshops but couldn’t find anyone selling manuals.
He later discovered that these things aren’t worth much if sold alone.
Because no one dares to practice them at random.
Many manuals require a master’s guidance, oral teachings combined with written manuals, to record key points and remind oneself.
In other words, manuals actually only document a small portion of the content. There’s never been a case throughout history where someone mastered a martial art just by using a manual.
However, the Cultivation of Literature is different.
It doesn’t require much detail in movements and mainly emphasizes the heart method. So manuals are still useful.
"Alright then, I’ll come to call you. Didn’t you do well last time at the event? Make sure to take advantage this time," Li Huoyun said with a look of understanding.
The two chatted about recent events and felt indignant when they mentioned Ouyang Jianrong.
This Ouyang Jianrong couldn’t command high-grade martial artists, so he used mid and low-grade soldiers and officials as cannon fodder to deplete Huang Yuzhen’s resources.
At first, Li Huoyun’s father stood firm, refusing to allow the Criminal Department’s people to be transferred.
But later, higher orders came requiring full local manpower to follow Ouyang Jianrong’s arrangements.
In the end, they had no choice...
Zhang Rongfang understood. When Ouyang’s courier was blocked by Lord Li, he witnessed it too.
When they were transferred later, everyone actually understood that it was probably because Li Ran couldn’t withstand the pressure.
This indirectly indicated that the secrets involving the Chasing Moon Saber had a significant impact.
After chatting for a while, Li Huoyun stood up and took his leave.
Leaving the Zhang household, he returned to his carriage.
"Go, to Ningxiang Store."
"Young Master, didn’t you say you were going to the New Music Pavilion?" asked Feng Shan, the coachman and also his bodyguard, in a simple manner.
"That was before. Now take me to Ningxiang Store! Just go, why so much fuss?" Li Huoyun replied impatiently.
He had indeed wanted to go to the Pavilion earlier. He thought Brother Zhang Ying wouldn’t likely attend the exchange meet.
Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang agreed.
Since that’s the case... for Brother Zhang’s lifelong happiness, he must prepare well this time.
Brother Zhang is getting older now, helping him find a suitable sister-in-law wouldn’t be in vain for saving his life back then.
Li Huoyun calculated in his heart and remained silent in the carriage all the way.
Until they were close to Ningxiang Store, he jumped out of the carriage and bought some fruit by the roadside to bring along.
Ningxiang Store is the leading fragrance and cosmetic store in all of Tan Yang.
It often features new products from various places and even abroad, including various fragrances and cosmetics.
The most crucial thing is, the people of the Yao Yuan Book Club often gather here.
Moreover, Sun Chaoyue, the president, is a frequent visitor here.
Soon, Li Huoyun approached a mansion-like courtyard.
The main gate was open, with pink and silver-edged petal lamps hanging on both sides, and guards at the entrance.
Li Huoyun tossed a few coins to the guards and strode in with the fruit.
Inside, an old servant with a face full of wrinkles had been waiting at the entrance of the main hall.
"Good day, Young Master Li."
"Uncle Cao, is Miss Sun inside?"
"She’s inside appreciating the newly arrived incense bottles," the old servant replied respectfully.
"Thank you."
Li Huoyun quickly entered, turned left into a side hall.
There he saw Sun Chaoyue in a bright red dress, with roses and cloud patterns embroidered on her shoulders, a slim waist, and a well-endowed chest.
Her appearance was charming, her figure eye-catching, and her aura made her the most striking presence in the entire hall.
There were several other young ladies from Tan Yang in the side hall, completely overshadowed by her at this moment.
"What are you doing here, Li Huoyun? This is not a place for you young fellows to be."
Sun Chaoyue casually put down the incense bottle in her hands and glanced at Li Huoyun sideways.
"If it weren’t for Xiaohe pleading for you, you think I’d bother with you." She said coldly, not bothering to put on any pretenses in front of her childhood acquaintances.
If it were outsiders, she would display a gentle and gracious manner, but in front of someone like Li Huoyun...
"Sister Dayue...I just wanted to find a good sister-in-law for my elder brother." Li Huoyun said with a sheepish grin.
"Your Yao Yuan Book Club has the widest connections in Tan Yang. Everyone knows the young ladies from boudoirs have the highest regard for you.
You know every lady’s temperament and character like the back of your hand, effortlessly."
