After traveling through time, I stole all over the three realms
Chapter 22 Library
After Shen Mian recuperated for a few days and felt that his injury was almost healed, he started to plan to go to the Misty Forest.
Before that, she needed to have a preliminary understanding of the magical beasts on this continent, so she set her sights on the Shen family's library.
Of course, she could go to the shops outside to buy more books, but when she thought that she had to spend money to buy them while other children of the Shen family could enter and leave the library at will, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Adhering to the idea of keeping the wealth within the family, she set out again on a dark and windy night.
Since the last time he "visited" every wealthy person in the Shen family at night, the number of guards in the Shen family has doubled. Every time he walks a distance at night, he will encounter patrolling guards, which can be said to be full of obstacles.
There were only a few guards around Shen Mian's shabby little house. After all, even rats were reluctant to come in.
But tonight is the birthday banquet of the head of the Shen family. The lights in the front hall are bright, and the guests are talking and laughing non-stop. Most of the guards are sent to the front hall, and there are fewer guards on the west side. This is a perfect opportunity for Shen Mian to take action.
She didn't plan to use those low-level disguise potions - they were short-lived and could be easily spotted by higher-level people.
She took out the bottles and jars of rouge and powder she had bought earlier, and after a while she looked like an old woman. She looked in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, changed her clothes and set off.
Mu Yan couldn't help but complain: "I've never seen a thief sneaking around in his own home."
Shen Mian sighed: "If I went to the library as Miss Shen Wu, those people would not let me in. They would just mock me and drive me away."
Mu Yan sneered: "If anyone scolds you, hit him back."
Shen Mian: "If only it were that simple... I could go to the head of the Shen family. At least I am still his niece on the surface, and he will let me in for the sake of the Shen family's reputation. But then he will notice me, and Shen Simian will return to normal, no longer the silly Fifth Miss Shen, and won't be able to leave the Shen Mansion anytime and anywhere like she does now."
There is one thing that always bothers Shen Mian, that is, who destroyed her previous cultivation, and who poisoned her body... Maybe the answer is in the Shen Mansion, but now the enemy is in the dark, and she doesn't want to "return to normal" so quickly and let others notice her.
Shen Mian concealed his figure and moved around the Shen Mansion, and soon arrived at the Shen family's library.
She stood in the tree and looked into the pavilion calmly.
The library has three floors in total. The huge building is hidden in the darkness without a single candle.
To Shen Mian's surprise, there was no guard at the door.
She frowned secretly. Although it was Shen Feng's birthday today, there shouldn't be no one here, right?
She climbed in through the window and walked slowly forward in the darkness. There was no one on the first floor, so she did not rush to look for the book. Instead, she slowly went up to the second and third floors to check.
But after searching around, she found that she was indeed the only one in the entire library.
Am I being too suspicious?
She built a small fire and began to search for the book she wanted.
The Shen family's collection of books was indeed rich. After Shen Mian found the book about spiritual beasts he wanted, he went on to search for many books on alchemy.
Until she took a pile, there was still no sound in the entire library.
Something is not right.
She searched carefully on the first floor and finally found a book with no words on the cover in the corner.
She took the book down, but nothing happened.
She walked around the bookshelf again, touched the walls around and behind it, and finally found a groove in the wall.
She knocked hard, and the bookshelf shook, and the wall behind it slowly turned, revealing an underground passage.
The passage is wide enough for four people to walk side by side. The walls are illuminated by luminous pearls, and the end is as far as the eye can see.
Will you go?
Shen Mian thought seriously for three seconds, then slipped into the passage.
After she entered the passage, the wall slowly closed again.
……
The Shen family's front hall.
Many people were invited to the birthday banquet of the head of the Shen family. The other three major families also sent people out for the sake of their overt relationships. The guests feasted and drank, and chatted happily.
The head of the Shen family sat at the top seat with a rosy face, and most people also came to show their support.
The head of the Shen family glanced at the people below and was in high spirits: How could he have such a glorious life when he was still the young master of the Shen family? The old man has been in seclusion for seven years, and he has secured this position.
When his eyes fell on the Luo family, he paused slightly, feeling slightly dissatisfied. Unlike the other two families whose heads came to celebrate, the Luo family only came with two young people, the eldest son of the Luo family, Luo Xuanrun, and the fourth daughter of the Luo family, Luo Qingxun, which made him feel despised by the Luo family.
However, his mood soon improved. Thinking about how the Luo family had been going downhill over the years, his attitude towards the two of them changed from dissatisfaction to sympathy and gloating.
Mr. Luo is arrogant, but his arrogance won’t last long.
Luo Qingxun was dressed in green, and her pretty face looked a little depressed. She looked around quietly and whispered to Luo Xuanrun: "Brother, why did grandfather call us here? I thought there was something fun here, but it's too boring."
Luo Xuanrun lived up to his name, with a gentle temperament like jade. Even when facing a group of family heads older than him, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and was not at all shy. Hearing this, his expression remained unchanged and he said softly: "Because my grandfather was bored."
Luo Qingxun was speechless for a moment.
Luo Xuanrun also knew that it was difficult for the lively Luo Qingxun to sit here all the time, so he comforted her softly: "Aren't there a lot of delicious food? This spirit beast meat tastes good, and we don't get to eat it often."
Luo Qingxun pouted: "No matter how delicious it tastes, I'll be full after an hour of eating. And I spent another half an hour listening to Patriarch Shen's boasting and the polite words of the other families..."
Luo Xuanrun frowned slightly and signaled her to be quiet: "This is not your home, be careful with your words." This is not something that can be said casually.
Luo Qingxun shut up immediately. Most of the time, she was still a little afraid of her eldest brother. Many things at home were done by her grandfather. Among all the younger generations, the eldest brother simply had his own majesty.
She was observing the guests boredly again, and suddenly saw an interesting scene.
She nudged Luo Xuanrun with her elbow: "Brother, look, is that Shen Xianyue?"
Luo Xuanrun looked forward: "Don't look blindly."
Luo Qingxun: "I heard a rumor a few days ago that her hair was cut or burned, but it looks fine now... Did she buy some hair growth potion? I really want to ask her where she bought it, and buy a bottle for our Third Uncle as well."
Luo Xuanrun asked: "Third Uncle? Why does he need this?"
Luo Qingxun: "Didn't Third Uncle always say that he became bald from staying up late to read? But I think he didn't stay up late to read, he stayed up late to drink more."
Luo Xuanrun: "Then don't buy it for Uncle San. It's a good opportunity to see if Uncle San will really become bald."
He took a sip of wine and said, "If Uncle San quits drinking because of his baldness, it would be a good thing."
Luo Qingxun glanced at him and said, "Brother, do you want to see what you are drinking?"
Luo Xuanrun remained calm and said, "A little drinking can make you happy, but too much drinking can harm your body."
