Chapter 62: Jade-Faced Book Boy

  At the entrance of Jiang's courtyard, Jiang Heng flashed by, and those patrolling guards saw him but just shook their heads and turned away. Nowadays, Jiang Heng's reputation is quite impressive, even these warriors who came from the battlefield dare not be negligent in their hearts.

  "Third brother, you've finally come out. Father has been forbidding us from seeing you." A white figure appeared before Jiang Hao, surprisingly it was Jiang Tian.

  "Big brother!" Jiang Hao suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at the man with a smile on his face in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

  "Haha, Third Brother, are you going to look for Father?"

  "Yeah, I want to ask Dad for something." Jiang Hao said.

  "Then you should go to the library, Old Man should be there at this time!" Jiang Tian pointed to a distant building that was partially visible and said.

  "Oh, I see. Big brother, then I'll go find Dad first! I'll come back to look for you guys later." Jiang Hao waved his hand.

  Jiang Tian waved his hand and watched as Jiang Hao flashed out of the courtyard gate, leaving behind a trail of residual shadows.

  "This kid, he can run fast!"

  ······

  The Jiang family's book pavilion, this vast existence is an important place for the Jiang family children to acquire and cultivate resources. At the same time, it is also the most heavily guarded place in the Jiang family.

  I remember the first time I came, Jiang Hao was just a four-star warrior, but now Jiang Hao has undergone a metamorphosis and his battle master-level strength is not something anyone would underestimate.

  Jiang Hao walked along the way, and the people he saw on the road were all looking at him sideways, with a mixture of fear and envy on their faces. This was naturally due to his reputation, first for not losing to Jiang Zhan Yun, the elder, despite the latter not using his full strength, which was already quite intimidating. Later, he ruthlessly disabled Jiang Wei's arms, and it was clear that everyone had no good feelings towards this arrogant guy, but after all, they were just children, and it was hard for them to avoid feeling intimidated.

  Jiang Hao shook his head and didn't pay attention to the gazes of the crowd at all, continuing to hurry towards the direction of the Cangshu Pavilion.

  Huh?

  Just as Jiang Hao was about to approach the library, he suddenly slowed down and looked at the seven-story building with a puzzled expression.

  "What's wrong? You've sensed something, haven't you?" Tianyi's voice came through.

  "This hidden book pavilion has subtle fluctuations everywhere. If it weren't for my current soul power, which is not weak, I estimate that it would also be difficult to detect." Jiang Huan said with a pursed mouth.

  "Haha, you can feel your father's presence now, right?" Arcane asked.

  Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes, and the power of his soul poured out from between his eyebrows. The situation in the first few layers of the Cangshu Pavilion was clear to Jiang Hao at a glance, but when he reached the fifth layer, Jiang Hao's soul power seemed to be absorbed, and he felt a faint pain, startling him into hastily recalling his released soul power.

  "Teacher, how can this be!"

  Jiang Hao's heart skipped a beat as he asked, with his current soul power in the Dan Master realm, although it can be temporarily released, if he encounters a formidable expert or a strong practitioner who specializes in soul power, he will suffer heavy losses. At best, his cultivation will drop, and at worst, his spiritual sea will be shattered, rendering him an idiot.

  "Haha, the buildings above the fifth floor have used some special materials, probably to suppress those soul powers' probing. However, if you reach the state of enlightenment, then these won't be effective either." Arcane Heaven smiled and said.

  "Your dad is on the sixth floor!"

  "En!" Jiang Hao responded with a sound, and then stepped into the gate of the library.

  Although he had been here once before, the piles of books filling the room still made Jiang Heng's heart skip a beat. Since Jiang Heng had almost read all these stored books, he naturally wasn't interested in staying and directly unfolded his form to float upstairs.

  "Look, it's Jiang Hao!" Not a few of the young men on the first floor had noticed Jiang Hao's arrival.

  "Yes, yes, that day I saw him take down Jiang Wei's arms with one move, don't be too handsome." A girl's voice came over.

  Jiang Hao's footsteps moved involuntarily for a moment, and his mouth also showed some helplessness.

  The first floor of the library had the largest area, and each floor above was significantly smaller, with fewer books as well. Jiang Hao went up to the fourth floor without any obstruction, where there were only about a dozen bookshelves left, and the jade slips on top were also limited in number. Jiang Hao just glanced at them lightly and was about to step up to the fifth floor.

  The stairs from the fourth floor to the fifth floor were gone, only a faint layer of light screen remained.

  "Show your jade token!" Just as Jiang Heng was about to step forward, a figure slowly emerged from the light screen, surprisingly a young book boy with a jade face.

  "Jade plaque? What is it." Jiang Hao was taken aback for a moment.

  Yu Mian Xiao Shu Tong stepped forward, blocking Jiang Huan's path. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Jiang Huan with disdain. "Hmph, you don't even know about the Jade Token? Only those who have been granted the token by the elder can enter the fifth and sixth floors of the library."

  "Oh, I see. So that's how it is. Little Jiang Hao, can't you just make an exception this once?" Jiang Hao bowed his head and said hastily, feeling a shocking fluctuation coming from the Jade-faced Book Boy.

  "Not allowed, no jade token and nobody is permitted to enter. Wait a minute, what did you say your name was?" Yu Mian Shu Tong waved his hand, ready to shoo Jiang Huan away, but then thought of something and hastily asked.

  "Little Jiang Hao!" Jiang Hao was also stunned, but still responded.

  "Jiang Hao, is that really you? The little guy who couldn't cultivate before?" Yu Mian Xiao Shu Tong's face showed a look of surprise as he asked.

  Little guy, Jiang Hao was speechless for a moment, looking like you're still younger than me?

  "Hehe, don't look at me like that. Actually, even the master of the house is not as big as I am, so calling you a little guy isn't anything." Yu Mian Shu Tong also noticed Jiang Huan's confusion and explained.

  "This time, I didn't go to watch the competition, but I knew a thing or two about it. I didn't expect that you, this little guy, would end up winning in the end! It really surprised me for a moment there. I thought maybe the master of the house had given you some kind of magical medicine."

  "Haha, sorry about that, senior. I just got lucky, that's all. This time, I'm actually looking for my father... is he here?" Jiang Hao smiled.

  "The master has given orders, except for the seventh floor, you can go to any other floor as you please. Follow me, the master is on the sixth floor right now. Oh, and take this jade token, it will allow you to come and go freely in the future." Yu Mian Shu Tong flipped his hand and tossed a palm-sized jade token to Jiang Huan.

  Jiang Hao raised his hand to take it, and the jade plate felt slightly cool in his hand, with the three words "Cangshu Pavilion" engraved on it.

  "Thank you, senior." Jiang Huan bowed again and followed the jade-faced book boy into the light screen.

  After a brief darkness, Jiang Heng's eyes lit up, and what appeared before his eyes was not the imagined smaller attic of the fourth floor, but a vast area that was even more impressive than the first floor. Here, Jiang Heng did not see any bookshelves, but rather a series of light screens. Inside these light screens were dan medicine, jade slips, and even some rare treasures and spiritual medicines that Jiang Heng had never seen before.

  "Hehe, the fifth and sixth floors of this library can be said to be the entire Jiang family's warehouse. There are some good things here." The voice of Jade-faced Book Boy sounded behind Jiang Hao.

  "Hmm, senior, I don't know how to get to the sixth floor!" Jiang Huan glanced around and then withdrew his gaze. The things here were good, but they weren't of much use to him.

  Yu Mian Shu Tong's face couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration, Jiang Hao was the first to see so many good things and remain calm, when that young Jiang Wei first came to this fifth floor, he had been stunned for half a cup of tea.

  "Hehe, from now on don't call me 'senior' all the time, it makes me sound old. Just call me Uncle Kang."

  "Yes, Uncle Kang!" Jiang Huan called out, feeling a bit strange himself. After all, from the looks of it, this book boy was just a young child.

  "It's actually quite simple to get to the sixth floor, you just need to stick the jade token I gave you on that wall over there and you can be directly transported to the sixth floor." Kang Shu pointed to a prominent wall in front of him, on which was carved a mysterious array, apparently the transmission array.

  "That little guy went to the sixth floor first." Jiang Huan nodded, and according to the rules, he stuck the jade plate on the wall. A flash of light passed by, and his figure had already disappeared.

  "Haha, what an interesting little guy." Kang Shu saw Jiang Hao being transmitted over, and a smile spread across his face, seemingly extremely happy. "Jiang Yuan is indeed capable, these three sons of his are getting more and more formidable."
