Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 253. Private Library
Jian Heng patted his eel hearing his brother's ridiculous thoughts. He said it would make no sense if his father liked the woman his own son liked.
"You're just turning my mind around to forget the real problem, aren't you?" accuse Jian Heng.
"Make what? You think I'm scared of you." Changyi folded his hands on his chest and raised his chin.
"Sister, please return the painting. It was my best work."
"You can make it again, right? Or put it this way, we're bartering. I gave you the painting and you gave the woman in the painting to marry me, how?" Changyi raised his eyebrows.
From a long time ago he did not want to lose to Jian Heng in any case. But they never really fought. It was their way of showing affection for each other.
Jian Heng looked at Changyi with suspicion. Her brother had an incredible sharpness of mind. The intelligence he possessed surpassed his two younger siblings.
"As far as you are. It's just an illusion anyway. I can imagine even more beautiful women." Jian Heng hoped that his words would be able to change Changyi's thinking.
Jian Heng was very confident that Changyi could already guess if the woman inside the painting was Fang Yin. It was actually Fang Yin, but she wanted her brother to think that it was just her imagination.
"So that painting isn't Miss Xiao Yin?"
It was obvious that I was disappointed in Changyi's face. He thought it seemed that it was indeed impossible for Fang Yin to be that beautiful. The painting came out from his open palm.
Jian Heng immediately picked it up quickly before his brother changed his mind.
"Hey, what is it?!" Hao Xiang suddenly appeared and saw a paper scroll in Jian Heng's hand.
"It's nothing." The painting scroll vanished from Jian Heng's hands and entered into his storage ring.
The matter would become even longer if Hao Xiang interfered. Changyi and Jian Heng looked at each other. They were thinking of tricking Hao Xiang.
"Ah, not something important. Oh, yeah, where are you from? Since yesterday you've been invisible." Changyi distracted Hao Xiang.
"Truely, Brother Hao has been so busy lately that he ignored his handsome sister."
Hao Xiang pretended to be vomiting hearing Jian Heng praising himself.
The three of them finally laughed and the tense atmosphere melted back. The three of them chatted while walking towards their respective palaces.
Elsewhere, Fang Yin and Emperor Xi also did the same. They talk about a lot of things. Emperor Xi acknowledged that the young woman had extensive knowledge in various fields. Not just in the health sector.
In the distance, Jing Jihua felt envious of the closeness of Fang Yin and Emperor Xi. His hope of being with Jian Heng grew even further.
Fang Yin was taken to his private library near the law and justice pavilion. Only the nuclear family had ever entered it and Fang Yin was the person outside the first nuclear family to enter it.
The library has a towering door with unique carvings that are different from the model of the door in the palace. A large padlock was hanging outside the door. To open it, Emperor Xi issued a special token of his.
The door opened wide with just one push. After they went inside, the door closed by itself.
A spacious room with bookshelves towering up to touch the ceiling stunned Fang Yin. It was like seeing such an incredible wonder of the world. A person who can't fly, won't be able to reach the books that are on the highest shelves.
'I must not waste this opportunity. Who knows I can find information about the fire and ice Phoenix here.'
Fang Yin looked at the books before him without daring to touch them. He used his sixth sense to read the titles of the books before him. Emperor Xi let him move indefinitely and found the book he wanted to borrow.
Searching for a book in a very spacious room felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. As he was about to give up, Fang Yin saw a shelf containing books on mythological beasts and powerful spirit beasts.
He approached the shelf and sharpened his eyesight. There was a book that caught his attention. He was very sure if the book contained about the spirit beast he was looking for.
"Your Majesty, may I borrow the book?" Fang Yin pointed at the book he wanted to borrow.
"A good choice. Looks like you're interested in finding a spirit crystal to get a companion spirit."
Fang Yin nodded.
'Stupid girl. The book is not that one, but the one beneath it. Although the cover looked worn, but the book contained about the fire and ice Phoenix in detail.' The dragon spirit spoke to Fang Yin after a long moment of silence.
'Heh, Ugly Dragon. Why didn't you say that from earlier? Are you satisfied with pranking me like this?' Fang Yin felt annoyed, it was fortunate that he had not picked up the book and Emperor Xi also paid less attention to which book he chose.
The dragon spirit laughed then slowly disappeared from Fang Yin's mind. Although very upset, but he felt grateful, at least the ignorant dragon still told him. Otherwise, Fang Yin would definitely borrow a wasted book.
After obtaining the permission of Emperor Xi, Fang Yin took out a book according to the instructions of the black dragon spirit.
Emperor Xi asked Fang Yin to immediately store it before they went out of there. If until anyone saw him, then the important officials of the empire would definitely feel envious of him. They never got the chance to borrow Emperor Xi's books even though they were so close.
They both came out of the magnificent library and locked it back from the outside. Everyone who passed by the two was astonished to see the proximity of the two.
There has been much speculation about both. Some thought that the Emperor liked her and wanted to raise her to a princess. There were also those who thought that Fang Yin would be betrothed to one of his sons. And a small part thought that Emperor Xi wanted to make her a concubine.
"It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to borrow His Majesty's personal book. I will return it immediately when I finish reading it. Thanks again, Your Majesty."
"It's nothing big compared to your help. You can tell me whatever your troubles are. I'll be happy to help."
Fang Yin's attitude and intelligence had completely hypnotized Emperor Xi and turned his heart around. Now she wouldn't mind if one of her sons wanted her.
'It seems like I have to open my heart and mind to judge people from different points of view. Although not bloody noble, it did not rule out the possibility of him having extraordinary advantages and talents.'
Emperor Xi looked towards Fang Yin for quite a long time. Without them noticing, Hao Xiang who had common interests with his father was astonished by the change in his father's attitude.
'Did you like Miss Xiao?' Hao Xiang was misunderstood. His heart broke into two. It was impossible for him to compete with his father.
