"These are all incomplete scrolls below, they are of little use to us. If you like them, I can give them to you."
After this incident, Ying Caiwei's prestige among her peers soared, and she was likely to become the sect leader. Of course, it was still a bit early for her, as the sect leader not only needed to be virtuous and talented but also possess matching abilities and cultivation.
Therefore, the matter of giving away books basically didn't require seeking instructions from anyone else. Moreover, without Ren Yuanhao's help, the Qingfeng Sect would have faced a great disaster. A mere bamboo slip was not a big deal.
"Little brother, you seem preoccupied. Is it because of the people your master mentioned?" Ying Caiwei, though inexperienced in the ways of the world, was not foolish. Moreover, she was thoughtful and perceptive, so how could she not see this?
Ren Yuanhao nodded, holding the bamboo slip, and forced a slight smile. "Yes, I must rush back immediately. So, this is goodbye. We'll meet again. Thank you for this bamboo slip."
"Wait," Ying Caiwei stopped him by pulling on his sleeve. After a moment of thought, she said decisively, "If your friend is in trouble, our Qingfeng Sect should also lend a hand. If you have any requests, we will definitely go through fire and water and spare no effort."
Ren Yuanhao was taken aback. He saw a resolute look in Ying Caiwei's eyes, a look he had also seen in the eyes of those three women!
He knew very well that although the Qingfeng Sect was made up entirely of women, they were still cultivators. Even if their cultivation was not high, they were far stronger than ordinary people. With their help, it would naturally be a force not to be underestimated. However, with his personality, he would rather risk his own life than implicate unrelated people.
In his heart, the Qingfeng Sect were unrelated people. He didn't want to owe such a great favor.
"Sister, I appreciate your kind intentions. The Qingfeng Sect is also going through a turbulent time. You must manage things well with the Zhi Ran sisters and the other senior sisters. Once my affairs are settled, I will definitely come back to see you."
Ren Yuanhao had made up his mind. After saying this, he cupped his fists and turned to leave the library.
He did not stop at all. Of course, to get down the mountain as quickly as possible, Zhi Ran sent a junior sister who often went down the mountain disguised as a merchant to lead him along a shortcut. An hour later, she brought him to the foot of the mountain.
After bidding farewell to this person, Ren Yuanhao drove, speeding all the way. In less than half an hour, he had entered Ai Shen City.
At this time, the sky was dim, and night was falling. A light rain was drizzling. The streets seemed to have accumulated about three to four centimeters of water due to poor drainage. City lights twinkled, and pedestrians, holding umbrellas of various colors, moved through every corner. It was clearly very lively, but Ren Yuanhao felt so desolate that he wished the stars would fall.
He stopped the car and looked at Ai Shen City's landmark building, the Lionheart Tower, with eyes as sharp as blades, as if fire was about to erupt from them.
...
About half an hour later, Ren Yuanhao and Liu Yu finally met successfully.
Before them was an extremely hidden underground warehouse. Rats scurried past their trouser legs, as if claiming ownership. Old newspapers from who knows what year were scattered around, and various pin-up girl pictures were plastered on the walls. Due to the dampness, the pictures had faded severely, almost to black and white, making the place appear increasingly eerie and terrifying, especially in this gloomy and dim environment.
The rusty rolling shutter door was covered with indelible mold and oil stains. Dense wires sparked with blue arcs, and winding pipes leaked water, the sound of which dripping onto the ground seemed vast and desolate.
"Big Brother, what valuable things are stored in here?" Ren Yuanhao asked reasonably.
"Of course. Do you think a place like this wouldn't hide some domineering weapons, to be worthy of such a picturesque environment?"
"Uh, Big Brother, I know you want to relieve my tension, but isn't this kind of joke a bit too childish?"
"Brother, you are still too young. You must know that the Lionheart Group's eyes and ears are all over Ai Shen City, and even the four cities in the southeast region. If good things weren't hidden in such inconspicuous places, they would have been discovered long ago."
Hearing Liu Yu say this, Ren Yuanhao became even more eager to see what good things he had hidden here.
However, just as he was eagerly anticipating, Liu Yu's expression suddenly became a little flustered. He patted his pockets on both sides and looked embarrassed.
"I guess, Big Brother, you forgot your key?" Ren Yuanhao guessed logically, and Liu Yu indeed nodded sheepishly.
"Hoo, Big Brother, step aside, let your little brother handle it."
Liu Yu moved to the side, lit a cigarette, and thinking that Ren Yuanhao had learned some mysterious and high-class lock-picking skills, he was about to praise him. But before he could speak, to his surprise, the brute pulled out his Cun Xue, and with a swift stroke, the rolling shutter door split open with a crack over two meters wide. As sword energy flickered, a smooth hole immediately appeared before their eyes.
"Brother, I am impressed." Liu Yu cupped his fists and was the first to step into the dust-filled warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with the smell of dust. Due to the dim light, it was impossible to see what was inside. Liu Yu seemed to be searching for the light switch based on memory, but unfortunately, he hadn't been here for a long time and was embarrassed to the point that he had forgotten where the switch was.
Ren Yuanhao shook his head, suddenly worried about Liu Yu's intelligence. After all, the most troublesome thing in this world is not having poor skills, but having teammates as dumb as pigs.
He shook his head to himself, turned on his phone's flashlight, and the light immediately spread out like a sharp sword. The entire small warehouse instantly flashed with black light. On both walls hung various weapons, from small daggers and crossbows to large Qinglong Yanyue sabers, Zhang Ba She Maos, and Fang Tian Hua Jis. All eighteen kinds of weapons were present, leaving Ren Yuanhao dumbfounded!
"Damn, there's even a Blood Dropper here, Big Brother, you're amazing! Did I transmigrate?"
"Stop the nonsense and follow me, brother."
Liu Yu stepped over the scattered crossbow bolts and flying daggers on the ground and walked to the end. He reached out and twisted a Blood Dropper lying diagonally. The hidden door vibrated slightly, and dust scattered. The space behind the hidden door exuded even more biting killing intent!
"Brother, I think your cold weapons are strong enough. Take this."
Before Ren Yuanhao could react, he saw something dark flying towards him. Upon closer inspection, it was an M416!
Even more exaggeratedly, what Liu Yu was carrying on his shoulder was a genuine single-shoulder RPG rocket launcher!
Cold sweat trickled down Ren Yuanhao's forehead. He thought, Big Brother, we are going to rescue someone, carrying such a powerful weapon is a bit too much!
"B-Big Brother, actually, I have a better plan. If we carry these things, we might be stopped before we even get into the building."
