"Ah!"
A sudden voice came from behind, startling Yao. She let out a soft cry of surprise. Yao immediately turned around to look. When she saw the person behind her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was none other than her brother, Chen.
"Brother." Yao let out a light breath, calming her alarmed heart. She softly said, "Why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do, so I decided to walk around." Chen smiled and said, "When I reached here, I noticed that the door was open, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect you to be back. Why are you suddenly interested in reading here?"
Yao heard him and subconsciously said, "I'm here to look for something."
"Oh?" Chen was startled. He asked with interest, "What is it?"
Just when Yao was about to reply and say 'I'm Yu Tiangou', her heart suddenly trembled. She suddenly recalled something!
She recalled … Lu An once told her to be careful of Chen!
Although Yao did not know why she had to do that, since Chen was her biological brother from the same father and mother, her instinct made her stop. She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
In her heart, Lu An's position was the same as her parents. If she had to choose between Lu An and Chen, she would definitely choose to believe in her husband.
In fact, she rarely saw Chen since she was young. After all, when she was just born, Chen had already grown to the point where he could go out to carry out missions. He was punishing evils all over the continent. He even spent more time outside than in Sengoku. Although the two of them were siblings, they did not interact much. Their relationship was even worse than Qing's.
"It's nothing." Yao smiled faintly and said, "It's just an unimportant little thing. I'm just a little bored, so I came to read."
Hearing Yao's reply, Chen was obviously startled. He had a lot of experience, and the people he interacted with were much more than his sister. How could Yao's reservations escape his eyes? However, he did not expect that his sister, who used to be so innocent, would actually know how to hide things. However, he did not express any dissatisfaction or concern. Instead, he smiled and continued to ask, "What's that? I have nothing to do, so I can help you look for it. "
Looking at her brother, Yao was at a loss. In her heart, it was already very difficult to reject her brother once. If she rejected him again, the difficulty would more than double. She hurriedly thought about it, and then … for the first time, she lied in front of her family.
"I want to find some information regarding Dragons." Yao said. "I want to try and find the weakness of Dragons."
"…"
The weakness of Dragons?
The grudge between the Dragons and Lu An was a hot topic. Not only did the Sects and Exotic Beast Clans know about it, even the Hachiko clan and Sengoku knew about it. It was very normal for Dragons to deal with Lu An because of the Emperor Dragon Bone. Yao's answer made sense.
However, Chen knew that his sister was lying.
His younger sister was still too inexperienced, or perhaps she didn't tell enough lies. He could see the panic in her eyes and expression when she said those words. It was obvious that she was deliberately hiding something.
Since his sister didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't force her either. "So it's to deal with Dragons. However, Dragons do need to be taught a lesson. Lu An is my Sengoku's son-in-law, yet they are still chasing after him. It seems like the relationship between Sengoku and Dragons can no longer be the same as before."
"Then, sister, continue your search." Chen said seriously. "I don't have much interest in Dragons. Since I'm trapped here, I can't help even if I want to, so I'll continue my stroll."
"Alright." Yao heaved a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile. "I'll look for it myself."
Chen nodded slightly and walked out of the Compendium Pavilion. Yao sent Chen off with her eyes. When Chen disappeared from her line of sight, she clearly heaved a sigh of relief. She hurriedly opened the book in her hand and continued her search.
However … Chen didn't leave.
His strength was above Yao's, so it was normal that Yao didn't notice his existence. He stood outside the Compendium Pavilion and watched Yao's every move through the slightly opened window. At such a short distance, Chen could easily see the book Yao was reading, and even the contents of the book clearly.
He wanted to know what his younger sister was doing.
However, his eyebrows quickly furrowed because he realized that his younger sister was reading every single book. Furthermore, she was reading them in order. This made it impossible for him to analyze any valuable information. There was no point in looking any further. Instead, he would attract attention if he stood outside the Compendium Pavilion for too long. Hence, he left.
However, it wasn't like he didn't gain anything from it. What Yao was searching for in the Compendium Pavilion was the most valuable information. It was impossible for Yao to be searching for herself. She must be searching for Lu An. In other words, Lu An was most likely doing something big recently, so big that he needed to come to Sengoku to search for information.
Time passed by slowly. One day, two days, three days …
During this period, Qing came to visit Yao as well. After all, it was a little strange for her to be searching for so long. However, when Qing realized that Yao didn't want to tell him what she was looking for, he didn't pursue the matter. After all, everyone had their secrets. His younger sister had even gotten married earlier than her two older brothers. It was normal for her to have things that she couldn't tell her family after becoming a wife.
Qing, on the other hand, didn't mind. He only pretended to casually ask about Beauty Yang's recent situation before leaving.
Soon, it was the last two hours of the four days.
Yao returned to the Ice Fire Union once a day to communicate with her husband and family if there was any new information. Since her family didn't find anything, Yao continued to search. Now, the sky outside had completely turned dark. The bright moon hung high in the sky. In front of Yao was the last row of bookshelves, and the book in her hand was also the last one.
About half an hour later, Yao raised her hand and gently closed the book in her hand.
Nothing …
After searching for four whole days, she found nothing.
There were more than a thousand books. Not to mention the words' Sacred Fire Plain ', there wasn't even the words' Sacred Fire '. It was the same for 'Xiayu Tiangou'. There were no clues at all. There weren't even any vague clues about the sect. It was so clean that it was surprising.
If there wasn't anything here, Yao didn't know where to look. Her figure stood straight in front of the bookshelves. She was dressed in white, and her body was emitting a seven-colored light. She really looked like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.
Yao placed the book back on the bookshelf. It was as neat as it was four days ago. However, Yao didn't immediately leave Sengoku and return home. Instead, she walked out of the library and slowly strolled in Sengoku.
She was wondering if there were any other places that could record information other than the library. She felt that with Sengoku's foundation, it shouldn't be that she didn't know. It was very likely that she had missed something, which led to her not finding any clues.
Under the moonlight, Yao kept walking. Although her speed was very slow, Sengoku wasn't that big. Walking along a small path, she soon arrived outside a courtyard.
Yao didn't stop. She was focused on her own thoughts. However, at this moment, a voice came from the courtyard.
"What are you thinking about?"
The voice was deep and powerful, waking Yao from her thoughts. She turned her head and looked to the right. The person who spoke was none other than Sheng.
It was Qi's father, Sheng.
After Qi made a mistake back then, Sheng didn't bend the law for personal gain. Her father once said that Sheng was a trustworthy person. He even sacrificed himself to save her father. Therefore, Yao respected Sheng very much.
Qi's betrayal of Sengoku made Sheng very sad and sad. He was also very angry and even angry. For thousands of years, no Sengoku had ever left Sengoku without permission, let alone betray Sengoku. The only one who did so was his son. It was the father's fault for not teaching his son well. He couldn't absolve himself from the blame and took the initiative to ask for forgiveness from the Sengoku Master. However, Sengoku had already become what it was today. Although the Sengoku Master punished Sheng according to the rules, it wasn't heavy.
Sheng's greatest wish was to capture his son with his own hands and admit his guilt in Sengoku. At that time, it wouldn't matter whether he lived or died. The most important thing for Sengoku people was not to betray their beliefs. Their beliefs were more important than anyone's life.
However, Sengoku was guarded by the Hachiko clan. Sheng didn't have a chance to leave.
"Uncle Sheng." Yao stopped and said with a faint smile.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so focused? "Sheng asked with concern.
This time, Yao subconsciously didn't tell him the truth. However, just as she was about to say something else, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Her parents said that Sheng was a trustworthy person. Moreover, Sheng's status in Sengoku was second only to her parents. Perhaps he knew more information?
After all, not all information would be recorded. There was still a lot of information stored in people's minds.
Yao thought quickly. She felt that her husband only wanted her to be wary of Chen. There was no need to suspect everyone in Sengoku, especially Sheng, whom her parents approved. After weighing the pros and cons, Yao chose to speak.
"Uncle Sheng." Yao asked softly, "Do you know … what is Yu Tiangou?"
