The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 11

Chapter 11: Repeat Encounter with a ‘Familiar Person’

In the morning, You XiaoMo discovered that the growing conditions of the magic herbs in the medicine garden were somewhat different.

At first he could not understand why. Now he guessed that it should be a question of quality. Although he didn’t know why magic herbs grown in the same medicine garden would be of different qualities, he was certain that there must be a reason. Perhaps it was due to the uneven absorption of nutrients or the effect of some other external influences.

No matter the reason, You XiaoMo was very excited over this discovery. If he could discern the relative quality of the magic herbs, it would make the process of searching for magic herbs much easier for him later. However, You XiaoMo felt that it would be embarrassing to ask his fellow disciples at this time, but if he didn’t, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. After turning this over in his head, he decided to consult the library. The library was all encompassing so it should have had contents that covered this aspect.

After hastily finishing his dinner, You XiaoMo did not return to his room with his fellow disciples, but headed directly to the library. Guarding the library was the same old man with the serious expression. Unlike the last time, because it was not his first time here, You XiaoMo handed over his identity tablet without being asked, and like before, received a black wooden seal.

“Thank you, Shishu.” You XiaoMo thanked him politely before heading to the East Pavilion. With his back turned, You XiaoMo did not know that the old man twitched when he heard the word ‘shishu’. His impression of this probationary disciple inevitably grew stronger.

Entering the library, You XiaoMo subconsciously looked to see if there were other people around. The last time he had jumped in shock when that young man had unexpectedly appeared. He didn’t want that to happen again. Being spied on was not a good feeling. But You XiaoMo was just being paranoid. Usually , there was rarely anyone present on the first floor of the East and West Pavilions. Due to the volumes being rather large, they were unlikely to be finished in a few hours, so most people would choose to bring them back to their own rooms.

On the second row of bookshelves, You XiaoMo found a book on the topmost shelf —— Common Problems Associated with Growing Magic Herbs . The book was less than an inch thick. Taking into account You XiaoMo’s speed, he probably wouldn’t finish reading it even after a day. So , he decided to take the book back to his room. After all, he definitely would be needing this knowledge later.

You XiaoMo did not leave immediately. He looked through the other bookshelves and only prepared to leave when he didn’t find any other useful books. But just when he turned around, he felt a disturbance from one side of his body. This was followed by the appearance of a white silhouette from out of thin air. And right after, a pink figure appeared on the left side of the white figure. After taking a closer look, he realized that they were actually the same pair he saw the last time in the West Pavilion.

Since they appeared very close to You XiaoMo this time, the man seemed to sense his presence almost immediately. The eyes that resembled two cold stars inlaid in the chiseled handsome face suddenly fell squarely on You XiaoMo. The unfeeling gaze caused You XiaoMo to feel a cold shudder from head to toe, his hand trembled while holding the book. He had originally assumed that this Da Shixiong and Xiao Shimei were from the Warrior Division. But seeing them appear in the East Pavilion, You XiaoMo was now unsure. Were they of the East or West Pavilion?

At first the girl dressed in pink was not aware of You XiaoMo, but since all her attention was focused on the man, once he looked over at him, she immediately became aware of his presence, instantly creasing her eyebrows.

“What are you looking at? Have you never seen beautiful people? Scram!”

“…”

Such unprecedented shameless behavior. Fine. You win, pretty girl!

You XiaoMo really didn’t like this type of cunning and obstinate girls. One look and it was obvious that she was thoroughly spoiled. Getting involved could only result in himself suffering a huge loss. While leaving, he could still hear the petulant voice of the pink dressed girl towards the man.

“Xiao-xiong, you clearly promised father that you would accompany YunYun to the library. Why do you suddenly want to leave? How hateful, I still have n’t finished reading.”

With a start, You XiaoMo quickly picked up speed and fled from the East Pavilion.
