Chapter 1165: Don’t Be So Demanding

He had met the new High Priest. She did not have a good temper.
He was unsure if his son could return safely from the Demon Heart Hall if he made her unhappy.
It was not easy to nurture a successor. He did not want all his hard work to be in vain. Besides, Long Xuan was indeed a good son. Without him, the Long family’s path would be even more difficult.
‘You’ve also been with this new High Priest Demon Heart for some time, so you understand her temperament better. If you really go to the core hall, you’ll be better at handling things. Don’t lose your life.”
Long Xuan was silent.
It was not that serious, right? Things were not as terrifying as his father made it seem!
An Jiuyue had a rather good temper. She only lost her temper at the Long residence because his father believed Zhao Xi and lost the Demon Suppression Cauldron.
If it were him and the most important item to him fell into the enemy’s hands, he would probably have even stronger intent to kill that person than An Jiuyue.
Hence, although the person in question was his father, he did not think she had done anything wrong.
“Don’t worry, Father. I’ll be careful.”
Despite all the muttering in his heart, he still agreed.
In two days, many people entered the new Demon Heart Hall. They were all from Jun Lin Hall and were Bai Ze’s subordinates.
In the meeting hall, Bai Ze looked up from behind a long table as stacks of books landed in front of him. He looked at his sister-in-law speechlessly.
“Sister-in-Law, don’t be so demanding!”
He was a human too! He could not read these books every day. He had already been made to read books for two consecutive days. Besides eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, and sleeping for six hours, he was forced to spend the rest of his time reading.
Most importantly, he wanted to know why he was in charge of reading and understanding all the books that the High Priest Demon Heart was supposed to.
Who did he offend? Why was he made to suffer in the Demon Heart Hall for no reason?
Was it really as MO Aotian and the others had said? Was it Brother Yun’s and Sister-in-law’s intention to leave him here by himself to run the Demon Heart Hall while they left?
“I didn’t say you have to finish reading them in a few days. You just have to remember to read all these books,” An Jiuyue said matter-of-factly.
He was her younger brother (though Bai Ze had no idea yet), and he possessed the Demon’s Heart from the former High Priest Demon Heart in his body. So he should be considered half a Demon Heart too, right?
She had more important things to do and had to cultivate diligently. She had no choice but to let Bai Ze handle matters of the Demon Heart Hall.
“These are the most basic books. I’ve placed the rest in the library. After you finish reading these, you can go to the library when you’re free and read all the books there slowly.
“Of course, I have no objections if you want to memorize all the books.”
Bai Ze reasoned that she might not object, but he did.
He knew that the library was filled with books that An Jiuyue had brought from the Demon Destruction Valley. It would take at least 10 to 20 years to read all the books there.
And yet she expected him to memorize every word in the books?
Was that possible?
Wasn’t she overestimating him? He was just an ordinary person!
