Avenging His Mother (2/5)

What does that mean?

How did the situation suddenly take such a dramatic turn for the worse?

Ma Feifei only wanted to test Zhang Yunji's sense of responsibility towards the Mysterious Bookstore, so he took out the Spirit Crystal bag to Captivate him. He didn't expect Zhang Yunji to actually take it!

Because of a Spirit Crystal bag containing an unknown number of Spirit Crystal, Zhang Yunji actually let people into the Mysterious Bookstore without authorization!

This violates the basic code of conduct for employees of Mysterious Bookstore. Ma Feifei felt that if such a person were allowed to stay at Mysterious Bookstore, it would be a huge loss for the Mysterious Bookstore.

They must be severely punished!

"Ba Jiu, you stay here. I have something to do, so I'll go in first." Before Ma Feifei could get angry, Zhang Yunji said to Ba Jiu, then turned and went into the Bookstore without even glancing at Ma Feifei.

If Ma Feifei still didn't understand by now, he'd truly be a fool. He stepped inside and growled, "Zhang Yunji, give me back Laozi Spirit Crystal!"

"Haha! Shopkeeper, this is what you gave me. A real man should keep his word and not go back on his word!" Zhang Yunji replied with a laugh after dodging several dozen meters away.

Yes, Zhang Yunji recognized Ma Feifei the moment Ma Feifei took out his Spirit Crystal bag. He only let Ma Feifei in because he wanted to tease him.

But Ma Feifei couldn't stand it. He felt his intelligence had been insulted, so he grabbed Zhang Yunji and gave him a good beating. The group of customers who were reading attentively in the Bookstore were baffled. They didn't understand why an employee of the Mysterious Bookstore would be beaten by a stranger, and Zhang Yunji didn't even dare to fight back. Even Luan Feng in the corner was indifferent to this scene.

Has the Mysterious Bookstore introduced a policy allowing customers to assault their employees?

After beating Zhang Yunji and getting the Spirit Crystal back, Ma Feifei walked towards the backyard of the Bookstore, satisfied. At the same time, her expression changed back.

Zhang Yunji followed Ma Feifei and, seeing Ma Feifei return to normal, muttered while covering his swollen face, "Shopkeeper, your disguise is too crude. What's the use of just changing your face and figure? You should pay attention to the details, otherwise people who know you will recognize you at a glance."

Zhang Yunji recognized Ma Feifei by looking at his hands and the spatial ring.

"None of your business." Ma Feifei glared at Zhang Yunji. He couldn't be bothered arguing with Zhang Yunji. Entering the backyard, he found Li Bieli standing under the plum tree, watching his room. As for Yun Qingyang...

"Whoosh~"

Before he could speak, Ma Feifei felt a gentle breeze, Yun Qingyang appeared in front of him.

"Qingyang, my little cutie, it's been so long! I've missed you so much! Come here and give me a hug!" Ma Feifei said with a grin, opening her arms to pick up Yun Qingyang.

Yun Qingyang frowned, and the Qingshuang Sword ', only 0.01 centimeters away from Ma Feifei's neck.

Ma Feifei awkwardly stepped back, rubbed her hands together, and said, "Qingyang, you're still as short-tempered as ever!"

"Hmph!" Yun Qingyang, unusually, didn't argue with Ma Feifei. After not seeing Ma Feifei for almost half a month, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

"Shopkeeper!" At this moment, Li Bieli, who was under the plum tree, exclaimed loudly, walked up, and knelt down directly in front of Ma Feifei.

"Whoa!" Ma Feifei was startled. Looking at Li Bieli kneeling on the ground, he said, "Why are you bowing so deeply to me? Get up quickly."

"Thank you so much for saving my life, shopkeeper!" Li Bieli didn't listen to the order, but instead bowed deeply to Ma Feifei respectfully and said solemnly.

"Alright, alright, get up first." Ma Feifei hates these people who keep bowing and praying! He's so young, why would they want to shorten his lifespan?

Li Bieli obediently got up from the ground, her excited expression still lingering.

"You've regained your youth?" Ma Feifei asked with a smile.

"Yes! It's recovered." Li Bieli nodded excitedly.

"His cultivation has improved quite a bit!" Ma Feifei was somewhat surprised, because he discovered that Li Bieli had not only regained his youth, but his cultivation also seemed to have increased to the Spirit Saint First Stage realm. In just over a year, he had directly grown from a child into a towering giant.

"It's all thanks to this Diamond Sutra; otherwise, my cultivation would have stagnated for over a year." Li Bieli took out the Yellow Quality Diamond Sutra from his spatial bag and presented it to Ma Feifei with both hands.

"Now that the Diamond Sutra has been separated from me, it should be returned to its rightful owner."

Ma Feifei casually took the Diamond Sutra from Li Bieli's hand and was surprised to find that the Book Spirit inside the Diamond Sutra seemed to have been nourished and grown stronger, as if it was about to evolve to a higher level.

"Could it be evolving into Epic-grade- quality book?" Ma Feifei frowned, thinking. If that were the case, then during the past year or so of contact between the Diamond Sutra and Li Bieli, not only had Li Bieli benefited, but the book's Book Spirit itself had also been nourished?

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei handed the book back to Li Bieli, and said to Li Bieli's puzzled expression, "You can keep this book."

He wanted to see if this copy of the Diamond Sutra could evolve into an Epic-grade- quality book in Li Bieli's hands. If it were as he suspected, wouldn't that mean books could also be nurtured and improved in quality through human intervention?

Just like Wan Jianshan, the first dean of the Vast Academy?

"Oh dear!" Ma Feifei was suddenly startled. He seemed to have forgotten about this fellow and hadn't sent him the book yet.

However, Ma Feifei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Zhang Ke was dead, there was no need to worry about the safety of Wan Jianshan. It didn't matter if it was a little later.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Li Bieli bowed in thanks. He was naturally very happy to have the Diamond Sutra again, after all, he had spent so much time with it and had definitely developed an attachment to it.

After accepting the Diamond Sutra, Li Bieli hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Ma Feifei said, "Just say what you have to say, no need to beat around the bush."

Li Bieli gritted his teeth and bowed, saying, "Bieli wishes to return to the capital!"

"Back to the capital?" Ma Feifei was taken aback, but then immediately understood what Li Bieli meant. He wanted to go back to the capital to avenge his mother!

Since leaving the Jiang Family nearly two years ago and changing her surname to Li, Li Bieli harbors a deep Grudge towards the Jiang Family. It is precisely because of this that Li Bieli found Ma Feifei and ultimately became a Carrying Book Slave.

Now that his youth has been restored and his cultivation has reached the Spirit Saint realm, Li Bieli naturally wants to go back and avenge his mother.
