Chapter 764 Chapter 764: Meet With Bookkeeper Again!
The old patriarch and all of the Nascent Soul Elders of the Immortal Sword Sect immediately decided to perform a spell to see Rongrong"s last moments before she died to investigate who killed her.
They brought Rongrong"s extinguished life lamp to the enlightenment pool and began to cast the spell together.
Unfortunately, they could not see anything from the enlightenment pool"s reflection as if the truth was covered by black fog.
Without any other choice, the old patriarch and all of the Nascent Soul Elders of the Immortal Sword Sect could only use their communication talismans to call the other righteous sects to investigate it.
It did not take long for them to get urgent news from Alchemist Sect that Garden City was actually being invaded by Beast Tide!
Moreover, the current situation in Garden City is extremely tragic.
The Beast Tide had already broken successfully into the Garden City.
Countless people had died, and even more than a third of Nascent Soul Stage elders had been killed by the four False Spirit Beasts.
The old patriarch and all of the Nascent Soul Elders were completely dumbfounded after they heard this news, and they immediately blamed Rongrong"s death on the Beast Tide.
Even though they still had some doubts since Beast Tide should not need to cover Rongrong"s death using some unknown means until they could not see Rongrong"s last moments with their spell, but this was clearly not the right time to think about it.
The old patriarch hastily dispatched more than half of Nascent Soul Stage elders of the Immortal Sword Sect to a.s.sist the Alchemist Sect, so they could drive away the Beast Tide from the Garden City.
If it was the other city, they might not really care if Beast Tide destroyed it, but Garden City was completely different!
More than 60% of the pill materials such as herbs, fruits, flowers, and so on were supplied from Garden City.
When this Garden City fell under the Beast Tide, it means the Alchemist Sect would certainly be half crippled, since even the greatest alchemist would not be able to make any pills without materials.
Most of the cultivation pills in Lightwind Continent were actually bought from the Alchemist Sect.
All Human Race in Lightwind Continent would definitely be greatly affected if the Alchemist Sect could no longer produce any cultivation pills!
Thus this Garden City must be taken back from the Beast Tide as soon as possible no matter what happens!
Not only the Immortal Sword Sect, but even the other righteous sects and their affiliated sects also sent their Core Formation Stage elders and Nascent Soul Stage elders to reclaim the Garden City.
At this time, the Beast Race gloated over the Human Race"s failure to protect their life-blood important city, many of the Beast Race even sent more reinforcement to Garden City.
The war between the Human Race and the Beast Race instantly became even fiercer than before to the point that they would kill each other at sight!
Of course, that fierce interracial war in this Lightwind Continent did not affect Fox Race even a bit.
Other than secretly fanning the flame of war from behind the scenes and providing a lot of crucial information to the other Beast Race, Fox Race did not send anyone to join the war.
After Instructor Mei Lan and her three students went back to Myriad Foxes Academy, Instructor Mei Lan immediately contacted the Bookkeeper with her communication talisman.
Under the Bookkeeper"s instruction, Instructor Mei Lan only brought Tang Li Xue and Zhu Yan to meet the Bookkeeper while she told Bingbing and Silly Fox to go back first.
Tang Li Xue"s expression immediately turned dark and gloomy.
She really did not like the feeling when she met with the Bookkeeper.
If it was possible, Tang Li Xue really did not want to face the Bookkeeper anymore.
The bookkeeper was simply too outrageous and mysterious. A transcendent existence that far surpa.s.sed Tang Li Xue"s imagination.
Even right now, Tang Li Xue somehow could no longer remember the Bookkeeper"s look and figure anymore as if all the memories about the Bookkeeper slowly faded away from her memories.
Tang Li Xue could not even remember what she had talked to the Bookkeeper before.
While Tang Li Xue tried to recall her previous meeting with the Bookkeeper carefully, Instructor Mei Lan already led her and Zhu Yan to the library.
Instructor Mei Lan pushed open the double front doors of the library and entered the library with Tang Li Xue and Zhu Yan before the double front doors automatically closed again.
Zhu Yan instantly lost her courage the moment she stepped into the library, so she got closer to Tang Li Xue and held Tang Li Xue"s arm tightly.
Tang Li Xue did not have any time to care about Zhu Yan since she was also very nervous and afraid right now.
The interior of the library was as spectacular as before with the extremely vast s.p.a.ce filled with so many tall bookshelves that contained hundreds of books on each of them.
After they walked deeper into the library and reached the center of the vast library, they finally saw a s.e.xy beautiful fox lady in a black formal Qipao dress sitting on the sofa while reading a book.
Her body posture and every gesture were n.o.ble and elegant like from an aristocratic family.
She has long straight gray hair tied in a ponytail. Even her fox ears and tails were gray colored.
The almost-forgotten image of the bookkeeper in Tang Li Xue"s mind resurfaced again after she saw the fox lady in front of her.
Tang Li Xue"s pink lips twitched slightly as she thought in fright: "What a fearsome monster..." The origin of this chapter"s debut can be traced to N0v3l-B1n.
The Bookkeeper slowly closed the book in her grasp as she smiled kindly at Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, and Zhu Yan.
Then her sight fell to Tang Li Xue as she said in an amused tone: "How rude~! Little one, how could you think of an elegant, charming, and beautiful fox like me as a frightening monster?!"
Tang Li Xue"s slender body instantly stiffened when she heard the Bookkepper"s words.
Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"
The extremely shocked Tang Li Xue instantly recalled what the Bookkeeper told her last time.
"Reading anyone"s mind is not difficult at all. There are many ways to do it without using any treasures or abilities. As long as we can read the other people"s body gestures, expressions, and eyes, we can easily read what was in their minds."
Tang Li Xue could only put on a helpless smile and apologize to the Bookkeeper: "I am very sorry, Miss Bookkeeper. I really cannot control what I think..."
Instructor Mei Lan glared at Tang Li Xue, but she did not dare to scold Tang Li Xue in front of the Bookkeeper.
But the Bookkeeper said to them in a gentle tone: "It"s all right. You will get used to it, and You will no longer be afraid of me."
The fear and nervousness in Zhu Yan and Tang Li Xue"s hearts instantly disappeared as they felt much more relaxed.
They even felt a lot closer to the Bookkeeper as if they were her old friends.
Tang Li Xue immediately realized that this was the Bookkeeper"s ability since she had already tasted it the last time she came here, but she still had no way to prevent it until now.
The Bookkeeper took out another three teacups, put them on the table, and poured the tea in the teapot onto the three teacups while saying: "You all do not need to be so polite. I know you three just came back so you should be a little tired. Let"s sit and drink some tea first."
There was just no way for them to refuse the Bookkeeper"s words, so the three of them sat obediently on the chairs and drank the tea first.
Then the elegant Bookkeeper gave the Story Book to Instructor Mei Lan.
Instructor Mei Lan began to tell what had happened on their mission from the very start when she and her three students left the Myriad Foxes Academy together until they returned safely today.
Their surrounding scenery kept changing according to Instructor Mei Lan"s story.
Zhu Yan dropped her jaw in shock, and she was completely dumbfounded in amazement.
Even Tang Li Xue who had already seen it once before was amazed by it again right now.
After Instructor Mei Lan finished telling the story about their current mission, she gave back the Story Book to the Bookkeeper.
"I am sorry, Miss Bookkeeper. I have caused such a big commotion at the Garden City." Instructor Mei Lan felt really guilty about it, so she apologized to the Bookkeeper sincerely.
But Bookkeeper chuckled while waving her hand leisurely and saying: "It"s all right. You do not need to think too much about it. Our Beast Race has already fought so many times against the Human Race. Causing a few more scuffles is nothing new."
Instructor Mei Lan sighed in relief after she heard the Bookkeeper"s rea.s.suring words.
Then the Bookkeeper glanced at Tang Li Xue and gave some advice to her: "Little one, you better hold back your little pet a bit from now on. It would be very bad and dangerous if the Human Race realized something about it."
Tang Li Xue"s slender body shuddered slightly when she heard the Bookkeeper"s advice.
She still did not quite understand whether the Bookkeeper meant Little Loki or Yaya, but both Little Loki and Yaya"s origins were actually not good, so she really better hold both of them back to not do something excessive from now on.
Tang Li Xue nodded with a solemn expression and replied: "I understand, Miss Bookkeeper. I will keep an eye on them from now on."
