"You were invited too?" Yusuf Zuck looked at Ayden Ac incredulously, surprised that this pauper also received an invitation.
"Haha, though I’m just Ayden and haven’t entered the Martial Hall or the Literature Palace, I’ve authored a book. And because the Saint Donovan Blackwell wrote a comntary on it, I received the invitation!"
Yusuf’s pupils suddenly contracted. This pauper, whose cultivation level is only at Eternal Life First Level, had received a comntary from the Saint and even authored a book?
"What book did you write?" Yusuf asked curiously.
"Tao Te Ching."
"What?" Yusuf’s eyes widened.
"Is there any problem? Tao Te Ching!" Ayden scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Do you have it here? I’d like to take a look." Yusuf smacked his lips.
"I only have one left; you can borrow it, but you must return it, and there’s a borrowing fee of ten sin stones!" Ayden extended his hand.
"A hundred." Yusuf casually tossed out a hundred sin stones!
"More than enough, that’s plenty. Wait here, don’t run off with my book, I’ll be right back!" Having received a hundred sin stones, Ayden was overjoyed, tossed out a book, grabbed a handful of cooked at, and dashed downstairs.
"Go see where he went." Yusuf squinted and gestured to Side-eye.
Side-eye was a bit reluctant, looking as if he hadn’t eaten enough, but grabbed so at and followed along.
Yusuf picked up the Tao Te Ching and started reading, but this version was completely different from the one he had studied and read before. While it taught people to be kind, so theories were completely unrelated to what he had previously seen!
Yusuf read a few Chapters. Ayden’s writing was good, interpreting the principles of human behavior, and he seed to have a thorough understanding of worldly affairs.
Also, on the pages, sure enough, there was a comntary: "Only this book, a sign of a great style!" Just these eight characters, signed by Donovan Blackwell!
It seed this book had Donovan’s personal signature!
Yusuf beca more curious. How could soone claid to have a great style by the Saint be so poor? If the Saint said he had a great style, surely his future was boundless! How could he end up being a re gossip?
Just then, Side-eye returned, grabbing the wine on the table while drinking: "He ran into a bookshop diagonally opposite; seems like he went to buy books."
Yusuf was speechless. This person likely didn’t lie; he wouldn’t use money to train or improve his cultivation level, only to collect books, constantly buying, buying, buying. As long as he didn’t have it, he’d likely buy it.
There are countless books in this world, and collecting them all would definitely be a huge expense!
Monts later, Ayden returned happily, still holding two books, one with unknown text to Yusuf, and the other with the words Silver Spear One Hundred and Eight Techniques!
"Spent the entire hundred sin stones, only one left." Ayden chuckled, "So, I’ll continue eating the al you ordered!"
"Silver Spear One Hundred and Eight Techniques is a type of spear technique, right? You collect martial arts books too?" Yusuf asked curiously.
"Haha, I collect any book I haven’t seen or read before, but this book isn’t a martial arts book, you should take a look first; I’ll read it after I’ve eaten." Ayden tossed the two books in front of Yusuf.
Curious, Yusuf picked up the Silver Spear One Hundred and Eight Techniques, but once he opened it, his expression beca brilliant!
What spear technique? It’s actually erotic illustrations, depicting a hundred and eight different positions! The illustrations are vividly drawn with annotations and explanations!
"Hahaha, surprised? Learning does no harm, it’s a good thing." Ayden laughed while eating.
"You’re such a **student." Yusuf disdainfully tossed the book in front of Ayden.
"I told you, I collect all kinds of books; everything in existence has its reasoning, doesn’t it?"
"Haha, that’s true, but if you agree to do a favor, I’ll cover your travel expenses to Yi Tian City, how about it?"
"Actually, there’s not much to cover, I just want to buy so thoughtful gifts for the Saint and invite a few like-minded friends to dinner after arriving at Yi Tian City, but since you’re so generous, I won’t be polite. Tell , what do you need to do?"
"I need to attend a literary and poetry gathering, can you take inside?" Yusuf’s eyes glead.
"What’s so difficult about that?" Ayden didn’t even look up: "It’s a small matter. You can follow in at that ti. I’ll say you’re my household servants, no problem!"
"Alright then, I’ll cover the money for the gift to the Saint and the al. Side-eye, go exchange these for a few sin stones." Yusuf handed over a dozen destiny fruits.
"Uh..." Seeing the destiny fruits, Ayden hesitated for a mont, then muttered, "You really are generous, even selling these things!"
"How much can they sell for?" Side-eye asked, wanting to make sure he wouldn’t sell them too cheaply.
"Don’t sell under a billion, go ahead."
"Okay." Side-eye said and quickly left again.
"His cultivation level is higher than yours, yet he listens to you, haha. Is he your divine pet? You’re strange, letting a divine pet eat and drink with you, weird, weird!" Ayden shook his head continuously.
"Why couldn’t I?" Yusuf countered.
"Divine pets are slaves; have you seen any master having als and drinks with demon slaves?"
"Can you give an evaluation of yourself?" Yusuf suddenly asked.
"Myself?" Ayden thought for a mont: "A respected person wrote a comntary on my book and wanted as a disciple, but I refused. The world thinks I’m a fool. Many feel pity for , thinking I’m miserable because since refusing that person, my cultivation hasn’t progressed. Do you think I’m really foolish?"
"Haha." Yusuf suddenly laughed but shook his head: "I heard there are people whose bones are particularly hard, you must be one of those!"
"Haha, you guessed right; becoming a disciple ans kneeling, which is uncomfortable!" Ayden laughed heartily.
"Are you satisfied with your current status? If you had followed that person, you might now be at Eternal Level Six or even higher?"
"Hmm, I could probably reach Eternal Life Seventh Level, no doubt, so many regard as unfortunate, pitiful with no future, having great opportunities but not seizing them, thus being labeled as talented but without virtue."
"You’re quite unique; I think the world’s eyes have been blinded." Yusuf laughed.
"Haha, you’re interesting; the journey to Yi Tian City won’t be boring, and you won’t need to fly yourself." Ayden chuckled.
"I’m Yusuf Zuck, pleased to et you!" Yusuf extended his hand.
"Ayden Ac, I’m also pleased to et you." Ayden extended his hand to shake Yusuf’s, and they both laughed!
