"Maps and archives?"
Xue Binghe froze for a moment. He had never expected Shen Che's request to be this.
For the Heavenly Snow Sect, this was practically effortless.
"No problem!" Without the slightest hesitation, he agreed at once. "I'll have someone fetch them from the sect treasury immediately!"
"Benefactor, you want these things because..." Xue Binghe asked tentatively.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles," Shen Che said calmly. "I want to see whether I can find any clues about that Blood River Demon Venerable."
Hearing this, admiration appeared in Xue Binghe's eyes.
Faced with the threat of a Golden Core Great Demon, ordinary people would likely have long been thinking of how to hide.
Yet what this Benefactor Shen considered was how to take the initiative and strike first.
Such courage and responsibility were rare in this world.
"Then, Benefactor, why not stay in the sect for a few more days?" Xue Binghe earnestly urged. "First, you can rest properly and recover your strength. Second, the sect's archives are as vast as a sea. If you search through them alone, it may take quite some time. It would be better to let Xue Xi and the disciples assist you. That would be faster as well."
Shen Che considered it and felt that he had a point.
He was unfamiliar with the Northern Territory. With the Heavenly Snow Sect, the local snake, helping him, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Besides, he truly needed some time to consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation and study the system's new functions.
"Fine. Then I'll trouble you for a few days," Shen Che said with a nod.
"You're too polite, Benefactor! Your staying is an honor for my Heavenly Snow Sect!"
