Chapter 127 - Find the Library

"You are the new maid?" the head maid is thirty years old woman with a stern face, she examined her from head to toe with a bland expression, the new maid she got is not ugly but not too beautiful either she just slightly above average.

"Yes, my name is Luo Yi" she cupped her fist then bow courteously, Lory eventually able to coax the 'Demon Lord' to let her go, with a few agreements of course.

Her good posture satisfied the head maid, she nodded her head "Who is your Brother name?" she glances at the man behind Lory, one of the agreement is….Zhao Li Xin come either, of course, he must hide his earth-shattering appearance if not what kinda commotion he would make, Jin Hao make him wear skin mask, amazingly Zhao Li Xin now he look like ordinary man but still look attractive because his perfect body build.

"This brother of mine name is Luo Chen, he's a bit slow, I hope madam don't mind" Lory smiles awkwardly, she can't only use this excused to explain Zhao Li Xin paralysis face and his indifferent demeanor.

His brother cupped his fist then he bows lightly, his posture stiff and rigid but the head maid didn't bother since his sister told her her brother is slow, because they come only to do menial jobs the head maid didn't have much expectation, she called the young maid beside her to show them what to do.

"Chen Xi The young maid looks only sixteen years old she got round eyes plump lips and small nose make her look adorable, she also has fair skin and curve body, she bows politely at the head maid, she glances at Lory with mocking smiles then she took a glance at Zhao Li Xin who remain expressionless, most man noble or not at least would look at her twice but this man looks bland no wonder his sister said he's slow, poor and stupid is really not her type she snort then turn around swaying her round butt left and right.

"Follow me!" she said coolly.

Lory whose eyes remain on Chen Xi bottom awake from her daze, she follows the sexy maid in a hurry while pulling Zhao Li Xin sleeve. Because Lory and Zhao Li Xin new in the palace their jobs are only menial jobs or running errand, the first jobs they give it to them is to sweep the garden, Chen Xi left after told them what to do. After the sexy maid trace disappears in the corner Lory scanned around her.

"No one here, except my shadow guard," said Zhao Li Xin suddenly.

"Good" Lory nod her head, then she takes out a piece of folded paper from her ring, she open the folded paper but two seconds later she frowned her mouth twitch then she sighs exasperatedly, she takes out a charcoal stone then she writes something on the paper before she folded back

"Can you call on of your shadow guard?"

Lory click his finger, in a second a man with black uniform kneel behind her, Lory amazed with the shadow guard skill then she gives the folded paper to the guard "Bring this back to Ming Yue Yin but make sure Zhang Yu Hong was there"

"Yes, young Miss!" the shadow guard received the letter then he disappears in a flash before Lory can say 'thank you'.

Lory back at Zhao Li Xin again "We must find the library ourselves then" Lory crosses her arms on her chest, the palace is so big and there's no sign or anything, she wonder where would they start.

"Don't worry, I know where it is," said Zhao Li Xin with a flat tone.

"Oh yeah, your spies are all over this place" Lory clapped her hands excitedly but then she yelp "But we have to sweep this place first if not we would be kicked out before we found the library"

Zhao Li Xin clicks his finger then a bunch of men with black uniform appear, one of then takes the broom from Lory then begin to sweep the floor then Zhao Li Xin lead Lory out from the garden in a relaxed pace, Lory expression dumbfounded she glance at Zhao Li Xin with inexplicable feeling.

'Are you my boyfriend or my fairy godmother?"

The shadow guard is sent by Zhao Li Xin who is in the palace right now with Lory she wonders what kinda news he brings this early.

Zhang Yu Hong also worried what would happen inside the Palace, Ming Yue Yin didn't hide the paper from Zhang Yu Hong, she unfolded the paper together with Zhang Yu Hong with a worried expression, suddenly both of them stunned from the words inside the paper.

'YOUR DRAWING IS SUCKS!!'

Ming Yue Yin pout, Lory told her to draw the imperial palace floor plane to make things easier, she draws the map carefully but why she angry with her, Ming Yue Yin snort loudly, her drawing is fine that aunty didn't understand this world art but then she feels strong gaze beside her it was Zhang Yu Hong glaring at her.

"Turns out there's a lot of thing her highness need to be learned" he makes a weird smile.

Ming Yue Yin smiles awkwardly "It's…..it's fine, it's not important…..isn't it"

"This is old fool negligence, but fear not…this old bone would give his utmost to teach her majesty" his smile gradually become menacing.

"Hahaha…..sure…" Ming Yue Yin unconsciously gulped.

'DAMN YOU, Aunty!!'

Back to the palace, Lory and Zhao Li Xin sneaking around while dodging from the guard, Girsha watch them from distance he see Lory smile and giggles while hiding from patrolling guards, rather than look anxious she look excited her jolly mood affect Zhao Li Xin, he also think doing this is fun, he smile faintly while holding her hand.

They look more like a youngster who sneak out from the school to have secret date, Girsha shakes his head tiredly his Princess is a daredevil he knew it from she was a child but at least at that time she protected by his 'Gift' but now her power only return ten percent what would she do when she against strong cultivator, give them a hot pot?

Zhao Li Xin pushes Lory behind the wall when the guard is gone, he leaps at high speed while carrying her in his arms. Girsha smake a long sigh, he grateful Zhao Li Xin was there to protect her, with him around nothing would happen to her, Girsha yawn then back to his nap.

"Is that the library?" Lory sees a separated building guarded by two soldiers with bronze armor holding a big spear.

"It is, let's sneak from the roof," said Zhao Li Xin.

"Okay" Lory automatically jumps on his back, she already used to this.

Just one leap Zhao Li Xin managed to get them on the roof, he sees small window enough for them to slip in, Zhao Li Xin slip first to make sure everything saves before he helps Lory get inside.

The imperial library is smelled like old wood, everywhere she looks there's a high bookshelf almost reach the ceiling surround her, the library is illuminated by the faint glow of candles, the place is so quiet only one person sits on the corner perhaps his the librarian but he seems to doze off on his chair.

Not like normal library in her world there's no chair and table to read, and the place is not as neat as she thought it would be, bamboo scrolls, jade tablet, books, everything is scattered on the shelf but at least they still have conscience to divided the section by years so it's not really a mess after all.

Lory and Zhao Li Xin begin to search for any clue mention the ancestor crystal, the shelf didn't clean it well by the librarian, the dust flew everywhere every time she grabs an old scroll or tablet, Lory can't take it anymore she tide handkerchief on her nose to avoid the thick dust, the search begins from the first floor then reach to the second floor who have older book, meaning…more dust, Lory wishes she have a goggle now.

Suddenly she heard a rustle from the first floor, Zhao Li Xin immediately stay closer to her in a protective manner, both of them look each other make sure they heard the same things then suddenly the noise increasing slightly, Zhao Li Xin feels the noise is so annoying while Lory feels the noise is…familiar, Lory got curious she tiptoe to the source of the sound she peeks behind the wood railing, the noise is right under her.

Lory's eyes grew wider she shocked with the scened downstair, no wonder it's sound familiar, it's the sound of two people doing S** and the perpetrator is the sexy maid Chen Xi and unknown man who dressed like a young official, Lory lament to her self this world or her world why people would use library to have steamy rendezvous, this place should be a place to gain more knowledge…Chen Xi suddenly get too excited the man needs to cover her mouth, Lory click he tongue softly

'well someone gains something in here…'
