The next day, outside the Divine Bookstore. Please search to read the most complete collection of novels!

Li Bieli has been kneeling here for three whole days!

It wasn't moved at all for three days.

They haven't drunk a drop of water or eaten a single bite of food.

If he weren't a cultivator, he might be almost there by now; but even so, Li Bieli looked very haggard, and his lips were starting to turn white.

The cultivators waiting around shook their heads in silence. This child was using this energy to cultivate diligently; he might have a chance to take revenge in the future. But he insisted on dying here with the shopkeeper. It was truly baffling.

However, no one would go to persuade them; that would be pointless.

Canada is a cold-blooded world; who cares about anyone's life or death?

Crown Prince Yan Early Bird today and spent some time getting ready, hoping to make a good impression on the Divine Bookstore Owner.

I thought I had arrived relatively early, but when I got there I found the Bookstore surrounded by people.

Some stood in groups of three or five chatting, some hid silently under the eaves, and one was kneeling on the ground...

"What does this mean?" Crown Prince Yan was puzzled and couldn't help but walk towards Li Bieli.

"Young man, why are you kneeling at the Bookstore entrance?" Crown Prince Yan asked as he approached Li Bieli.

Li Bieli didn't even look up, just stared at the Bookstore's entrance, shook her head, and didn't reply.

Crown Prince Yan wasn't annoyed. He glanced at Li Bieli's cultivation level and, finding that he was only at the Spirit Master Eighth Stage, asked, "Young brother, do you want to go to the Bookstore to read books, but can't afford a special phone number?"

He had been in Dubian Town for a day now, and he had inquired quite a bit about the Divine Bookstore. He knew that to enter the Divine Bookstore to read books, one needed a special number or a unique code; however, the special number was too expensive on the market, and ordinary cultivators couldn't afford it.

Since Li Bieli was a cultivator who hadn't even reached the Spirit Ancestor Sect realm, and he was kneeling at the Bookstore entrance, Crown Prince Yan naturally categorized him as someone who couldn't afford a special phone number.

Therefore, based on the Analytic above and combined with Crown Prince Yan's reasoning, he figured that Li Bieli definitely couldn't afford a special number, but still wanted to go inside to read books. That's why he came up with the idea of kneeling at the Bookstore entrance to gain Bookstore Divine Bookstore's sympathy and get in to read books.

When Li Bieli heard that Crown Prince Yan said he was kneeling there because he couldn't afford a number, he couldn't hold back any longer. He looked up at Crown Prince Yan and threw a special number out of his spatial bag.

This was a special number that Gongsun Qiong, the president of Wantong Chamber of Commerce, gave to the 'Twelve Kings' family at the profit-sharing meeting during the Chinese New Year. The head of the Li Family did not know much about the Divine Bookstore and did not have much time to leave the capital, so he gave it to Li Bieli, who had made great contributions to the Li Family.

When Crown Prince Yan saw that Li Bieli had actually produced a special number, he was also somewhat surprised.

He didn't quite understand this before, but now he does; it's a special number, an exclusive and even more precious number, not for sale to the public, but only given to some important figures. Customers with special numbers can read books in the Divine Bookstore for five consecutive days and have priority in selecting books.

The fact that a young man at the Spirit Master Eighth Stage could produce a special number means that he has an extraordinary background.

Crown Prince Yan's eyes darted around, then he suddenly squatted down, looked at Li Bieli, and said with a smile, "I apologize, I was just making a wild guess, I hope you don't mind, young brother."

Li Bieli silently picked up the special number, put it into her spatial bag, turned her head back to stare at the Bookstore entrance, ignoring Crown Prince Yan.

Li Bieli consistently ignored Crown Prince Yan, which displeased him somewhat. As the Crown Prince of a nation, respected by all, he had humbled himself to make friends, only to be met with indifference.

Crown Prince Yan was too lazy to continue making friends. He got up and was about to walk to the side when the Bookstore door suddenly opened.

A woman dressed in black, with slightly hazy eyes, appeared before Crown Prince Yan, instantly freezing him in place.

"That's right, it's the woman I met in prison that day!" Crown Prince Yan stared at the woman in front of him, thinking excitedly.

Yun Qingyang frowned. She felt the intense gaze from Crown Prince Yan, a gaze that made her very uncomfortable, so...

"Bang!"

Crown Prince Yan was thrown away.

The cultivators who were queuing up were stunned. They stood there motionless, afraid of displeasing Yun Qingyang and becoming the next Crown Prince Yan.

Crown Prince Yan was a little confused. It wasn't until he subconsciously stood up that he realized he had been thrown by that woman.

"So powerful! Could she be the Saint who guards the Divine Bookstore?" Crown Prince Yan looked at Yun Qingyang, his heart filled with shock. He didn't even know how he had been thrown away just now. The feeling Yun Qingyang gave him seemed to be even stronger than the Sage Yan.

"Enter the store, line up, and show your identification," Yun Qingyang said coldly.

An unpleasant experience early in the morning made her a bit irritable, to the point that the temperature around her seemed to drop considerably.

The surrounding cultivators were uneasy because of Yun Qingyang. One by one, they handed over their exclusive numbers with trembling hearts and quickly entered the Bookstore before they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Her voice sounds just like Luan Feng's!" Crown Prince Yan stared blankly at Yun Qingyang from behind, momentarily forgetting the purpose of his visit.

At this moment, a red figure appeared in Crown Prince Yan's field of vision. Only then did Crown Prince Yan realize that he had important matters to attend to today. He immediately straightened his clothes, took out a special number, and prepared to go forward.

Suddenly, figures appeared in his field of vision, both men and women. What struck Crown Prince Yan as odd was that these people all appeared very refined and polite when they interacted with each other, giving the impression that they were not cultivators but ordinary people.

Most importantly, Crown Prince Yan discovered that they didn't need a special number to enter the Divine Bookstore!

The problem was that there were too many people. Crown Prince Yan stood there for five minutes and still the group hadn't finished entering.

"Just who are these people?" Crown Prince Yan wondered.

Just then, the group of 'people' finally finished entering, and Yun Qingyang turned to go in as well. Only then did Crown Prince Yan realize what was happening and quickly waved and called out, "Miss, wait!"

Crown Prince Yan disregarded all decorum and ran over to Yun Qingyang, handing her the special number.

Yun Qingyang looked at the special number in Crown Prince Yan's hand before raising her head to look at Crown Prince Yan properly.

Where have I seen this person before?

Yun Qingyang's hazy eyes revealed confusion.

When Crown Prince Yan saw Yun Qingyang's expression, he knew that Yun Qingyang remembered him. He looked at Yun Qingyang with expectant eyes, hoping that she would recognize him and take him to the mysterious person who gave him the special number, who was also the owner of the Divine Bookstore.

Gradually, Yun Qingyang's hazy eyes cleared, and her doubts disappeared.

"Go inside..."
