You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 130
Chapter 130: Master, Please Command Your Servant
“Shh, keep your voice down! ”
Daojian Sect Scripture Depository. After Su Qin’an confirmed that no one was around, he pulled Xie Yingqing along and boldly slipped into the Scripture Depository: “It looks like no one’s around, let’s go in! ”
The Elder guarding the Scripture Depository was not there; I don’t know if he went to tease the disciples again.
But even if he were here, he wouldn’t stop the two people. Because Yin Wanshan had already said that Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an could freely enter any area of the Scripture Depository without needing a token.
“I say, we’re just learning Arcane Arts, do we need to be so sneaky? ”
Xie Yingqing helplessly looked at the boy in front of her, who was pulling her along and sneaking around like a thief, and said, “Even if Master finds out, so what? He’s not a rigid person! ”
“That’s because it’s you! ”
Su Qin’an softly said, “He wouldn’t be like that towards me! ”
“Um… I’ll speak up for you…”
“…”
Mentioning this, Su Qin’an inevitably recalled some not-so-pleasant memories.
These memories were also quite colorful.
For example, when they were playing in the snow in winter, he and Xie Yingqing almost got abducted by human traffickers. Luckily, Yan Qingping, whose Cultivation Technique hadn’t gone awry yet and was still a young man at the time, found them, gave the human traffickers a “no remains left” set before the matter was dropped.
Or, for instance, when they were younger, Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing switched clothes, and then received a kind but firm lecture from Yin Wanshan, which became an unforgettable black history.
At that time, Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing were both young, not even five years old, and didn’t have much awareness of gender, plus Yin Wanshan intentionally spared them, so not many people knew about it.
But no matter what happened, given that Su Qin’an’s ideas were particularly outstanding, he always received special instruction from Yin Wanshan.
This time’s study of Evil Techniques was the same.
After all, he was the one who suggested it, and he brought Xie Yingqing here to practice Evil Techniques. If Yin Wanshan were to punish someone, it would definitely be him…
Yin Wanshan, that forward-thinking Old Man, might even stuff a grenade in his mouth like He Yuntian did!
After all, the last one who ate a grenade is still sealed in the altar on the mountain…
“This way! ”
Xie Yingqing led Su Qin’an through twists and turns to a dimly lit basement: “Forbidden Techniques, Evil Techniques, and ancient books are all here. See which one you want. ”
Su Qin’an looked at the nearly fifteen-story bookshelves, feeling a little dizzy.
“Don’t rush, I’ll look for it…”
Su Qin’an said, and began to search: “I can’t remember the name, I can only look for it one by one, it’s exhausting! ”
There weren’t many books in the Forbidden Techniques, Evil Techniques, and ancient books section. Although there were fifteen levels of bookshelves, compared to the entire Scripture Depository, it was only a drop in the ocean.
Many of the books inside, such as 《Necromancy》《Three Arts of Spirit Communication》《Celestial Fire—Ancient True Thunder Manual》《Refinement of the Law of Order》, were ancient books that the two of them had never heard of; at first glance, they were extremely advanced Arcane Arts.
“Law of Order… that sounds interesting! ”
Su Qin’an curiously picked up the 《Refinement of the Law of Order》, flipped through a page, then immediately put the book back, behaving honestly: “…I think we should find the Evil Techniques first. ”
“What’s wrong? What’s in that book? ”
Xie Yingqing curiously took out the 《Refinement of the Law of Order》 and flipped through a page: “…I think you’re right! ”
The page was full of strange symbols; she considered herself knowledgeable in ancient characters, yet she couldn’t understand a single one!
Sometimes she really wonders if this is human writing.
“Found it! ”
After searching through countless shelves, Su Qin’an finally took an old book and went to Xie Yingqing’s side: “Look, it’s this one! ”
“……《Master, Please Command Your Servant》? ”
Looking at this extremely outrageous Arcane Arts name, Xie Yingqing felt that her cerebellum was already showing signs of atrophy, and her entire mind seemed to be challenged as never before: “Re…Really? This is an Evil Technique? ”
Although she asked this, Xie Yingqing felt that it looked quite like one.
After all, normal Arcane Arts… shouldn’t have such an outrageous name.
Actually, she had another sentence she didn’t say.
Does her boyfriend have any… special preferences?
What if he does? Should she satisfy him?
Online waiting, urgent!
“Absolutely! ”
Looking at Xie Yingqing’s bewildered but innocent gaze, Su Qin’an felt his personality had been insulted: “I’m not that kind of person! Although this Arcane Art has a strange name, I’ve read the content, and it’s definitely the Arcane Art we need! ”
“Yes, yes, the predecessors’ vision was simply too advanced! ”
Xie Yingqing said, while opening 《Master, Please Command Your Servant》: “…Apart from the abstract name, the content is quite practical. ”
This Evil Technique is actually a Curse Seal, with a mother and child seal. People with the child seal are normal, but they can’t disobey the commands of the mother seal holder; otherwise, as long as the mother seal holder thinks about it, the child seal will vanish.
Moreover, the mother seal can absorb power from the child seal, as well as their Cultivation Base… although this point probably won’t be used for a while.
“What an interesting Arcane Art! ”
Xie Yingqing flipped through 《Master, Please Command Your Servant》 and gestured with hand seals: “It doesn’t seem difficult to practice, I feel like I’m almost there. ”
“I say, are you really going to look at Evil Techniques here? ”
Su Qin’an shrank his neck and looked around: “Aren’t you afraid that Master will suddenly appear and punish you to face the wall? ”
“What’s there to be afraid of? If anyone is to be punished, it’s you! ”
“I %#·￥｀ˇ#￥%@……”
However, to save Su Qin’an from a beating, Xie Yingqing quickly put away the book, erased the traces of their actions, and left the Scripture Depository with Su Qin’an.
They shouldn’t let others know about the Evil Technique; they should practice it secretly, after all, they can’t ensure that everyone’s mind is as open as Yin Wanshan’s.
……
Sichuan, a residential area. A young man in a black and white striped shirt looked at the house number on his cell phone and knocked on the door.
Although he knocked several times, there was no response from inside, as if no one was home.
However, with his excellent hearing honed from years of police work, he keenly picked up faint footsteps from inside the door.
“Hello, I’m a Police Officer! ”
The young man said, placing his police badge at the peephole: “This is my police badge, we have a case that requires your cooperation! ”
The girl inside checked the police badge through the peephole, confirmed the body camera, compared the photo on the badge to the person outside, and confirmed it was the same person before opening the door: “Hello, what can I do for you? ”
She thought back through every bad thing she had ever done in her lifetime and couldn’t think of anything that would warrant a police visit.
Usually, she just annoyed her teammates while gaming; the police wouldn’t… care about that… right?
Or, did she annoy them too much, to the point that the police tracked her address and came to her door?
While the girl was lost in thought, the young man entered the house and closed the door: “Let me confirm your identity first. Ms. Gu Qing, 20 years old, currently a sophomore at the National University of Defense Technology, majoring in finance, is that correct? ”
Hearing this, Gu Qing nodded while feeling dizzy: It’s over, they really think I’m too annoying, even investigating my information so thoroughly!
“We have a case here, and we need your cooperation in the investigation. ”
After confirming her identity, the Police Officer continued: “It’ll be done here; I just need to take a statement. ”
“Ah… Okay, okay! ”
Gu Qing instantly relaxed.
Thank goodness, it seems like they’re not here to scold her for annoying her teammates!
