Chapter 130 – Li Zixuan: Sister Qinghe, When Did You Become My Senior Brother's Disciple?

“Believe it or not.”

Qin Yang didn’t mind, patting Xia He’s shoulder as he said, “Your mission will be tough. Those Demonkin are dangerous. If you really encounter danger, run if you can, don’t force yourself to fight.”

“Alright, Old Qin, don’t worry. I definitely understand this principle.”

Xia He lowered his head, putting the Starstone into his pocket with a smile, “I’ll run if I can. Wait for me to come back, and we’ll…”

“Hey! Stop right there!”

Before he could finish, Qin Yang suddenly interrupted, “Are you setting up flags with me here? What coming back or not? Right now you’re like an old general on stage, covered in flags from head to toe!”

“……”

Xia He was speechless.

“Alright, be careful and go back to work.

If you really encounter danger, remember what I just said – fill the stone with Star Power and run if you can.”

After speaking, Qin Yang turned around with his hands in his pockets, sauntering casually toward his slacking spot.

Xia He watched his retreating figure, then looked down at the Starstone in his pocket. He smiled helplessly before also leaving the library.

The two went their separate ways inside the library.

………………

A moment later.

Qin Yang sat in the recliner, continuing to browse related news. Before he could even warm the seat, he saw a new instruction from the Manager in the group chat.

【Library lockdown! Employees from all zones come to the storage room to collect Star Martial Police Department placards!】

【Required to hang all on walls for inspection, come immediately!】

“It seems the Heretical Cultists have had quite an impact on the library.”

After reading the message, Qin Yang didn’t hesitate. He headed toward the library storage room with Xiaobai.

After collecting a stack of placards from the Manager.

He returned to Zone 1, found a conspicuous spot, and was raising his hand to hang the placard on the side of a bookshelf.

But just then.

Suddenly!

“Senior Brother……”

Li Zixuan approached Qin Yang’s side on tiptoe, holding a yellowed old book, brushing aside the hair by her ear as she said.

“After you finish this, could you wait a moment? I’d like to ask you a question.”

“What question?”

Hearing this, Qin Yang continued hanging the placard as he said, “It’s fine, just ask directly. I’m always available.”

“Oh, okay, as long as I’m not disturbing Senior Brother.”

Li Zixuan nodded lightly, carefully lifting the book from her embrace and handing it to Qin Yang.

It was a book with yellowed pages.

The cover was tattered and sloppy, even the title had been scraped off. It looked like secondhand goods from a roadside stall, the pages dry and wrinkled like dead leaves.

“Where did you get this?”

Qin Yang took the book, flipping through a couple of pages with a complicated expression:

“This… isn’t from my Zone 1, is it?”

“No, no, it’s not.”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan shook her head slightly and smiled: “This is Jianghai Academy’s treasure, Elder Li’s prized collection – insights on the Innate Sword Technique…”

Then she said somewhat sheepishly, “The content inside is too difficult. This Shimei is too stupid to understand, so I wanted to consult Senior Brother.”

After she finished speaking.

Qin Yang nodded, “Alright, that’s fine. Go ahead and ask.”

“?”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan was stunned, somewhat surprised: “Senior Brother, have you finished reading it? Don’t you need to look at it a bit more?”

From when Qin Yang took the book.

From picking it up to closing it, back and forth, it seemed…

Hadn’t even been a minute?

Could it be that Senior Brother just flipped through it casually and already finished reading?

How was that possible!

“It’s fine, go ahead and ask, Shimei.”Qin Yang smiled and repeated himself, handing the book back to Li Zixuan. Noticing her confused expression, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

With the Enlightenment Space at his disposal, he had already memorized the entire contents of the book after just a quick skim earlier.

Every word was perfectly imprinted in his mind.

Moreover, he had even identified and filled in the missing parts of this Innate Sword Technique manual!

“Ah, this silly disciple is too naive. I truly can’t bear to take advantage of her,” Qin Yang sighed inwardly in resignation.

Just slacking off at work, and out of nowhere, an Innate Sword Technique manual falls into his lap… Well, he could only thank nature for its generosity!

“Alright, then I’ll ask. Senior Brother, it’s mainly here on page 72—something’s missing,” Li Zixuan nodded, flipping open the book. “Look at this part: ‘Sit with knees bent, internally adjust Star Power… guide it to the seven orifices.'”

“Visualize the sword’s edge,” Qin Yang responded without hesitation, completing the passage for her. “Just add this part directly—this is what’s missing.”

As his words fell—

“Huh?” Li Zixuan was instantly dumbfounded.

???

She had originally planned to discuss alternative methods with her Senior Brother.

But instead…

He just… outright filled in the missing part from the get-go?!

Unbelievable!

His Sword Dao talent is absolutely monstrous!

“What are you spacing out for, Shimei? Hurry up and write it down,” Qin Yang reminded her. “I just skimmed through it earlier, and there are quite a few other spots you can note down. Take advantage of the fact that I have time now to help you fill them in.”

“Oh, oh, okay!” Hearing this, Li Zixuan quickly pulled out her notebook, her eyes sparkling like little stars as she listened attentively to Qin Yang’s explanations.

“Page 92… add ‘raise the wrist and strike downward, force reaching the sword’s tip’ here.”

“And page 126…”

“And also…”

With each reminder, Qin Yang patiently explained the Sword Dao manual while Li Zixuan diligently scribbled notes beside him, occasionally lifting her gaze to his face, her pupils filled with admiration.

“Senior Brother is so amazing!!!”

……………

In the distance, behind the bookshelves in Sector 2.

Li Qinghe observed covertly through the gaps between books, taking in the entire tutoring process.

When she saw Li Zixuan’s starstruck expression, she already had her face in her palm, utterly speechless.

“Great, this silly girl’s been fooled again!”

…

At the same time.

Qin Yang subtly glanced toward Sector 2—he had noticed Li Qinghe hiding behind the bookshelves the moment she arrived.

“So you enjoy peeping, huh?”

“Let me give you an eyeful.”

With that thought, Qin Yang deliberately decided to mess with her. He turned directly toward Sector 2 and said leisurely:

“Li Qing, aren’t you coming over to greet your Martial Aunt?”

Li Qinghe behind the bookshelves: “……”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan was also taken aback. Since when had she become a Martial Aunt? But she quickly caught on and tilted her head in surprise, asking, “When did you take on a disciple, Senior Brother?”

“You’ll know once she comes over,” Qin Yang suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth, continuing to gaze toward Sector 2 as he spoke slowly. “Or perhaps… the two of us should go over there…”

As his words fell.

Li Qinghe behind the bookshelves was utterly exasperated.

Damn!

This Qin guy has no honor!

Using Zixuan-mei to threaten someone!

“If you don’t come over soon, Zixuan is going to come over herself!”Seeing this, Li Qinghe steeled herself and began shuffling step by step from behind the bookshelf toward Zone 1.

“Come here quickly, my dear disciple.”

Qin Yang looked at the concealment array formation on her face and gently hooked his finger. Releasing Star Power, he directly interfered with the array formation, reducing its concealment effect.

The next moment.

Without the array formation’s concealment, Li Zixuan stared at the approaching Li Qinghe and suddenly found her extremely familiar:

“Li Qing… Are you Sister Qinghe?”

After recognizing Li Qinghe, Li Zixuan was completely baffled:

“Sister Qinghe, when did you become my Senior Brother’s disciple?!!”
