Chapter 34 The Library's Empty Promises (Also known as Surrounded by the Ruthless Path)

Nothing happened at school, probably because Teacher Yao Mizhen had already given up on Su Su and wasn't paying attention to her at all.

After school, Lin Anjun returned to Class 8 and put her arm around Su Su's arm, asking, "Are you going or not? Are you going or not?"

"If we can study in the library, we're sure to score higher on the exams, and maybe even be able to rival those disciples born into the cultivation world."

Su Su felt dizzy from being shaken, "Go away, go away."

Su Su was embarrassed to say that she suddenly remembered that she had three senior brothers and sisters. She had borrowed some money from her second senior sister, and wondered if she could borrow some more from her eldest or third senior brother. However, she was too proud to admit it.

Su Su covered her face, feeling ashamed of her shamelessness for the first time.

The two gathered their strength and raced for two incense sticks' time to reach the nearest library. It's worth mentioning that because the Qingyun Sect is so large, in order to prevent Qi Refining disciples from spending an entire day traveling, there is a library in each of the four directions of the outer sect, and the main peak of the inner sect also has a complete library that is ten stories high.

The library here is much larger than the Sword Qi Pavilion, with five stories high and a floor area of ​​about one mile in radius.

The interior was brightly lit, with light that was bright but not glaring, making it convenient for the disciples to study.

Su Su and her companion paused instinctively as soon as they entered the library. It was so quiet that there wasn't even the sound of turning the pages.

A senior disciple of unknown cultivation level was sitting at the front desk. He suddenly spoke, startling Su Su and her companion, "A new disciple?"

Su Su clutched her wildly beating heart. When did someone get here? Why hadn't she seen them earlier?

Lin Anjun asked anxiously, "Senior brother, we wanted to ask if the library needs to hire more staff?"

The senior brother blinked, "We need manpower..."

"Is it feasible? Can you endure hardship?" As the senior brother spoke, he introduced the books one by one. "The outer sect library houses most of the books in the cultivation world. Some are spiritual books that have been verified and forged into book catalogs, while others are just useless mortal books. The disciples love to read mortal books and have them everywhere. Your daily work is to organize mortal books."

"In addition to these tasks, there are also repairs, moving books, cleaning when necessary, chasing away unruly disciples, cleaning the bookshelves, and so on..."

"These are all minor matters, not difficult at all."

It's not difficult.

Su Su noticed something amiss. "Senior brother, how large an area is each person responsible for?"

The library seemed to stretch endlessly, and even Su Su's voice was startled by the echo.

Senior Brother gave Su Su an approving look, “You two are only in the early stage of Qi Refining. The two of you can guard the first floor. The first floor is full of mortal books, so it will be a little tiring.”

The senior brother encouraged him, saying, "The library values ​​seniority. Start from the first floor, and in two years you will have the opportunity to go upstairs. At that time, the upstairs will also be open to you for free."

Su Su felt suffocated. What was this all about, this blatant manipulation and empty promises?

It feels strangely familiar.

Lin Anjun was eager to try. Having never experienced the harsh realities of society, she was moved by her senior's promise that she would have the opportunity to read the books upstairs for free in the future.

"Su Su." Lin Anjun looked at Su Su with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Su Su shook her head vigorously, feeling that this library was too improper and made her physically uncomfortable.

"It's too far, I can't make it back in time, and I also have a part-time job." I also have to go to the Enforcement Hall.

Lin Anjun lowered her head, her voice dejected: "Alright then."

"It's okay, you can try it first. I'll come with you after school," Su Su comforted her.

Lin Anjun perked up again, and Su Su asked on her behalf, "Senior brother, how about the wages?"

The senior brother let the two discuss it, "You're still students, right? Four hours of night shift, two hundred contribution points a month, plus a meal allowance of one hundred spirit stones." The pay is not bad. Don't be fooled by Su Su's tendency to spend tens of thousands of contribution points or spirit stones. For other disciples, a few hundred a month is already a very good benefit.

Lin Anjun's cultivation level is currently less than the second level, so finding a job in the library is a perfect fit.

Su Su turned her gaze to Lin Anjun, wondering what she thought.

Lin Anjun couldn't wait and accepted the job. The monthly salary of an outer disciple was only one hundred spirit stones, so getting an extra one hundred spirit stones was enough, not to mention the two hundred contribution points.

Lin Anjun adapted to her new job, while Su Su wandered around the first floor a few times. Strolling around the first floor did not require contribution points, but borrowing books required one contribution point per day. The second floor required one hundred contribution points per day, and the higher you went, the more the contribution points doubled, with the top floor requiring eight hundred contribution points per day.

It's still much lower than the Sword Qi Pavilion.

The senior brother, holding the book, looked at Su Su with a hint of curiosity, "Junior sister, are you an inner disciple?"

Su Su nodded, unwilling to elaborate, and asked, "Senior brother, why can't we hear any other sounds from the library?"

The senior replied, "Since its design, every booth in the library has been equipped with sound-absorbing materials. As long as they don't shout or make a fuss and study diligently, there will be no noise."

The senior brother pointed to his location, "Even if we're speaking softly, it won't have any effect, including where you and I are."

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned against the table, staring intently at Su Su, and asked in a playful tone, "Junior Sister, which peak are you a disciple from?"

Su Su shuddered, and that discomfort returned.

After waiting for a long time without a response, the senior brother sat back down. "Junior sister, are you from the Heartless Path?"

Su Su gave a mumbled "hmm".

The senior student said "Oh," and then added, "That was my presumptuousness."

After Lin Anjun had settled in, Su Su found her in a corner.

"Your Highness, you..." Su Su expressed her feelings.

Lin Anjun said nonchalantly, "Even if it's just empty promises, it doesn't matter. The treatment is already pretty good for me. I'll also keep an eye on that senior colleague at the front desk."

She patted Su Su on the shoulder, "Don't worry."

After Su Su left, she murmured, "Men only corrupt my Dao heart. Apart from the Path of Ruthlessness, other paths of immortality are meaningless."

I forgot to mention that Lin Anjun is a staunch supporter of the Ruthless Path.

Back at Broken Sword Peak, Su Su distributed the spiritual food to her senior brothers and sisters before continuing her work in the space. The puppets were not yet settled, and the spiritual plants were not yet planted. She hadn't slept all night yesterday, and she hadn't slept all night today either.

Once the puppet was finally set up, the cultivated wasteland covered more than 30 acres, and every kind of spiritual plant was successfully planted.

The fresh spiritual plants, which were originally somewhat withered, immediately came back to life upon contact with this special soil. After being watered by the spiritual river, they quickly stretched out their branches and leaves, displaying their most radiant appearance.

Even the most primitive seeds, upon contact with soil and river water, sprout instantly, quietly waiting for time to pass before maturing.

Early in the morning, Su Su washed her face with spiritual liquid, patted her cheeks, and tried to wake herself up!
Today is the day to go to the Enforcement Hall.

Since she started cultivating, Su Su has forgotten how long it has been since she last slept. Each time, she stays up for more than ten days, and only falls asleep when she is exhausted.

She sighed inwardly, thinking that it was only in the world of cultivation that she could survive; in her previous life, she might have died suddenly at any time.

On his day off, while at work, Su Su sat listlessly on the Wind-Riding Sword toward the Law Enforcement Hall.

With vacant eyes, he started typing, then picked up his phone a moment later… The reader snatched it away, instantly urging him to type more or face being locked in a dark room! Please vote!!
