Giving a Reputation-Seeking Evaluation

He was an orphan; how did he even have the ability to borrow these books?

"What book are you reading?" Qian Renxue asked suddenly.

"This one." Ye Qifeng raised the book in his hand, displaying the title on the cover.

"Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul? About Martial Souls? How is this book?" Qian Renxue grew interested.

Bibi Dong in the shadows heard this, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes at that moment.

"Not much. It's just some trash written by a reputation-seeking Trash Grandmaster," Ye Qifeng said calmly.

Hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Bibi Dong's face turned dark in an instant.

Qian Daoliu, on the other hand, wore a smile on his face.

"Is that so? Let me see."

Qian Renxue had never read this book, and she was somewhat curious as to why Ye Qifeng gave it such a scathing review. She took the book from Ye Qifeng's hands.

Scanning it rapidly at ten lines a glance, her slender, pretty willow eyebrows couldn't help furrowing slightly after she finished.

"Well? Does it feel completely devoid of substance?" Ye Qifeng asked with a smile.

"Mm, indeed. Over ninety percent is just common sense, and the remaining less than ten percent consists of speculations, almost all of which are wrong," Qian Renxue said.

"It's not just simple common sense and speculation, you know; there's also plagiarism. Take a look at these." Ye Qifeng flipped open several ancient texts, finding the corresponding pages.

He handed them to Qian Renxue.

Sure enough, after Qian Renxue looked at them, her brows furrowed even deeper.

The texts in the Archives of Spirit Hall were all carefully selected, and every single one was the cream of the crop; not just any book qualified to be archived there.

That place was Spirit Hall's sacred treasury of knowledge because it contained a vast amount of invaluable knowledge.

It was no exaggeration to call it the foundation of Spirit Hall.

Now that someone had actually managed to sneak a piece of trash in there, didn't that ruin the rules and destroy the foundation of Spirit Hall?

She couldn't stand it.

At that moment, Ye Qifeng said,

"These books are all classic texts from the Archives of Spirit Hall, including this Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. Oh, my friend helped me borrow them."

"Outrageous! Who on earth carelessly collected such a trashy book and had it filed into the Archives of Spirit Hall? What were they thinking? Were their brains short-circuited? Did a dog eat their mind?" A trace of anger rose in Qian Renxue's heart, and her words were somewhat unforgiving.

Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, feeling somewhat between laughter and tears. The person you're talking about is probably your own mother.

Ye Qifeng couldn't help thinking of that incomparably beautiful woman. He hadn't seen her in four years; having ascended the Pope Throne, her aura must be even more exceptional than before, right.

Ahem, ahem! Giving two light coughs, Ye Qifeng stopped Qian Renxue's scolding, defending Bibi Dong slightly as he didn't want Qian Renxue to talk too harshly.

No matter what, he had been brought back to Spirit City by Bibi Dong, so she could be considered to have saved his life.

Besides, when all was said and done, she was also Qian Renxue's biological mother.

Diverting her attention, Ye Qifeng said, "You might find hard to believe, but this book actually came from the hands of the so-called number one martial soul theorist in the Spirit Master world. Don't you find that laughable?"

After speaking, the mockery on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

Logically speaking, every single classic text in the Archives of Spirit Hall was protected by a special paper cover packaging, and the cover would be marked with a unique serial number, book title, and author.

However, this book had no other information besides a cover and a title.

Qian Renxue had no choice but to tear open the book's cover, finally seeing the author's full name—Yu Xiaogang.

Qian Renxue's expression instantly turned gloomy.

She remembered.

She had once heard a rumor that this Yu Xiaogang was the first love of that hateful woman.

"If you ever run into this person in the future, you don't have to hold back," Ye Qifeng said pointedly.

Qian Renxue's expression suddenly turned ugly, and she immediately channeled her soul power, intending to destroy the book.

However, she did not succeed.

Ye Qifeng was quick-handed and sharp-eyed, snatching it back. "What are you doing? I still have to return this. If you're really that angry, you can destroy it after I return it."

"No need to return it. Trash like this doesn't deserve to enter the catalog of Spirit Hall's library," Qian Renxue said resentfully.

"That's true," Ye Qifeng said.

No, I must get to the bottom of this, Qian Renxue thought silently to herself at that moment.

Subsequently, she turned to ask Ye Qifeng, "Are you still reading this book?"

"I've already finished it."

"Then hand the book directly to me; there's no need to return it. I'll handle things over at the Archives. I want to see which bastard collected it," Qian Renxue said.

"Alright too." Ye Qifeng pondered for a moment, smiling as he handed the book to her.

Anyway, she was the Young Master of Spirit Hall, so handing it over to her would do no harm.

Bibi Dong, lurking in the shadows and listening to the two of them converse, couldn't help but let several dark lines drop across her forehead.

For no other reason than the fact that this book was indeed arranged by her personally to be collected into the Archives.

Back when she was young, in order to solve the problem of the Twin Martial Souls conflict, she had managed the Archives of Spirit Hall for a period of time.

It was also at that time that she had it archived for that cowardly and incompetent man.

At that time, she was young and ignorant, and had once regarded it as a classic.

She also admitted that her brain had been defective back then, blindly believing that as long as it was a book authored by that man, it had to be a classic masterpiece.

After occasionally hearing a few phrases from that man's mouth, she had taken it upon herself to have it filed into the Archives of Spirit Hall for him.

To this day, she had long since forgotten about this matter.

It seemed there was a need to investigate.

However... you little brat, you're so young yet you dare to speak with such outrageous arrogance.

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Qifeng, who resembled a porcelain doll, and her expression turned slightly unsightly.

At this moment, she didn't recognize that Ye Qifeng was the infant who had helped her break through to Title Douluo four years ago, only feeling a faint trace of familiarity.

For the past four years, she had been busy hunting spirit beasts to acquire spirit rings and cultivating without sleep or rest, so she hadn't remembered him for the moment.

Even if that man truly was cowardly and incompetent, it wasn't something a little brat like you could casually desecrate.

She wouldn't allow it.

As her thoughts swirled, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of cold light shining within them as her expression grew cold, subconsciously moving to defend that man.

Her experiences over the years had made protecting that man an obsession in her heart, to the point that she hadn't even realized it herself.

Qian Daoliu, who was also in the shadows, perceived the change in Bibi Dong's emotions and couldn't help laughing, feeling a sense of schadenfreude.

Suddenly, a strange sense of comfort arose inexplicably in his heart.

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Qifeng, his old heart instantly comforted, and some inexplicable meaning filled his eyes.

Fortunately, this expression wasn't seen by Ye Qifeng; otherwise, he definitely would have thought this old man was plotting something evil.

Qian Daoliu chuckled inwardly:

I told you long ago that that piece of trash wasn't worth cherishing. Bibi Dong, you'd better obediently be a good Pope for this old man and guard the foundation of Spirit Hall well for Xiao Xue. Hahaha!
