Pretending not to know him (1/5)

Then, Li Bieli was enveloped by the Golden Light Sect, and his whole body stood in place like a small golden figure. As the golden light continued to erode Li Bieli's body, his body also began to change.

The golden characters carved on its body gradually fell off, and its withered and broken body began to grow, becoming smooth and delicate at a visible speed. Its hunched body began to straighten, and it stood tall, gazing at the huge golden statue opposite it.

"Buzz~ Mou~~"

The whispers of gods and Buddhas began to echo all around, and indistinct yet powerful voices came from all directions toward Li Bieli. The sound waves touched Li Bieli's body as if Tackle an obstacle, creating ripples, but with each Tackle, the sound waves could penetrate a little, seeping into Li Bieli's body and repairing his decaying form.

"This is truly a technique that Reversal!" The cultivators outside, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, their voices filled with exclamations of amazement.

The fact that Li Bieli had become a withered old man was already common knowledge. If it weren't for finding Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, to help him, Li Bieli would have been buried underground long ago and fallen into an endless slumber.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Bieli was able to be reborn one day. His withered body was restored like a dead tree in spring, returning to his original state.

It's even stronger.

"The Mysterious Bookstore is truly omnipotent." This is a phrase that resonates deeply with and is widely accepted by practitioners.

Within just two short years of its appearance on the Azure Dragon Continent, the Mysterious Bookstore not only rose to fame and became known to the world, but also changed the entire Azure Dragon Continent, bringing blessings to all.

This is the luckiest thing for this generation of people on the Azure Dragon Continent. They encountered the Mysterious Bookstore in the best of times, which brought them endless possibilities.

"It's a pity the shop owner has been gone for almost half a month, and we still don't know where he went," someone in the crowd suddenly remarked.

"Yes! I don't know why, but the shop owner has been disappearing lately, which makes me uneasy, as if something big is about to happen," a cultivator said with a melancholy expression.

"Nonsense, what could be so important? Maybe the owner's been too busy lately to manage the Bookstore." Another cultivator retorted, disagreeing with what the previous cultivator had said.

Of course, rather than saying they disapproved, it would be more accurate to say they didn't want that so-called major event to happen, because if even the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore couldn't solve it, then it truly was a major event.

"Let's hope so." The others didn't know what to say, so they simply shook their heads and stopped discussing it.

Hidden in the crowd, Ma Feifei overheard these conversations and felt a sense of unease. Why did these people sound like he was about to die?

And you've been gone for almost half a month?

"Buzz~"

A trembling golden light flashed, the projection on the roof disappeared, and the Yellow Quality book "Diamond Sutra" slowly fell from mid-air, landing in the hands of a young man who had already emerged.

It was Li Bieli, who had regained his youth.

"He's really young again!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw Li Bieli's appearance.

I met Li Bieli once a few years ago; she seems even younger now compared to before.

"Is this book really that powerful? It can even reverse aging?" The cultivators were full of amazement and began to discuss Li Bieli's appearance.

However, after Li Bieli obtained the Diamond Sutra, he walked towards the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore. Yun Qingyang, Zhang Yunji, Luan Feng, Ba Jiu, and Mu Qingyi were all standing there. Li Bieli bowed to Yun Qingyang, who then nodded slightly and led Li Bieli into the Bookstore.

"Let's disperse, let's disperse." Seeing Li Bieli enter the Mysterious Bookstore, the onlookers began to leave.

Ma Feifei looked around and then walked towards the Mysterious Bookstore.

"Stay a while! We're full for today, sir. If you wish to read, please come back tomorrow." Ba Jiu stopped Ma Feifei from going in.

Ma Feifei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ba Jiu.

"You don't recognize me?" Ma Feifei pointed to herself.

Upon hearing this, Ba Jiu looked at Ma Feifei seriously, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't know you."

Ma Feifei: "..."

He then remembered that his appearance hadn't been restored yet. However, just as Ma Feifei was about to nod, a thought suddenly came to mind, and he abandoned the idea of restoring his original appearance. He whispered, "Actually, I know your shop owner. He invited me to visit the Mysterious Bookstore. Hurry up and let me go inside, don't keep me from catching up with your shop owner."

Ba Jiu stared at Ma Feifei with a suspicious look and asked, "Do you know our shop owner? What's your name?"

Ma Feifei's eyes darted around before she replied, "My name is Ma Xiaotiao, and I'm a sibling of your shop owner."

Wow! We were just acquaintances a moment ago, and now we're acting like family.

"Siblings from the same mother!" Ba Jiu looked at Ma Feifei in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

At this moment, Zhang Yunji also came out from inside. He had clearly overheard Ma Feifei and Ba Jiu's conversation, and with a mocking smile, he said, "Brother, to look like this and still be a sibling of our shop owner, it seems you've suffered quite a bit from the ravages of time!"

Ma Feifei: "..."

Ma Feifei squinted at Zhang Yunji, silently noting down Zhang Yunji's sarcastic remark, intending to deduct some of his salary later to stop him from being so sarcastic all the time.

That's what she thought, but on the surface she still had to put on an innocent smile and said, "To be honest, although we are siblings from the same mother, we don't have the same father, so it's understandable that we look somewhat different. The shop owner is handsome and dashing, and I naturally can't compare."

Without realizing it, Ma Feifei had even flattered himself.

However, Zhang Yunji had clearly seen through everything and waved his hand, saying, "Brother, please leave. We have never heard of the shop owner having a half-brother. If you want to establish a connection, the Yihong Tower in the town center would be more suitable for you."

"Gentlemen, if you let me in, you will be richly rewarded." Seeing that his first plan had failed, Ma Feifei began to use his second tactic, taking out a bag of Spirit Crystal from his spatial ring.

Upon seeing Ba Jiu's face immediately turned Rage, and he prepared to start cursing.

However, Zhang Yunji stopped him and, before Ma Feifei could notice, snatched the Spirit Crystal bag from Ma Feifei's hand, saying with satisfaction, "That's more like it! Go in, and remember not to make a sound, try to keep a low profile."

"Yunji!" Ba Jiu looked incredulous.

Ma Feifei was also stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Yunji, unsure of what to say.

Zhang Yunji stepped aside to let Ma Feifei in, and at the same time, he took Ba Jiu's hand and clasped it together.
