of power.Following him was a large, middle-aged Japanese man, about sixty or seventy years old. He wore a kimono and geta sandals, and carried a katana on his back.Ye Bufan used his divine sense to sc..."Oh! It's okay, I can wait a moment."

Ye Bufan didn't take it to heart too much. Since he was already here, it wasn't a big deal to spend a little more time. Besides, the other party's situation was indeed rather special.

"Xiao Fan, Auntie, thank you."

Changsun Qiu Lan smiled sweetly and said to Li An, "Take Doctor Ye to the No. 1 reception room. The conditions there are better and more convenient for rest."

"Understood, Miss."

Li An said respectfully.

"Xiao Fan, I still have some things to take care of, so I won't keep you company."

"Aunt Changsun, please go ahead."

Yè Bùfán bid farewell to Chángsūn Qiūlán. Managing such a large family business as the Chángsūn Family is naturally going to keep one busy.

"Doctor Ye, please follow me."

Ang Lee led the way, guiding Ye Bufan toward Room One.

Ye Bufan used his divine sense to scan, and found that this steward was actually a Heaven Rank martial artist, and he was even at the mid-stage of Heaven Rank.

As expected of a top-tier family, there are so many experts here.

"Li Bo, does the young master have a nap every day at noon"

Ye Bufan chatted idly with Li An as he walked.

"Yes, Doctor Ye, the young master has a habit of napping every afternoon."

"When will they usually wake up"

"It usually takes about two hours, and based on the current time, it's probably another half an hour."

As the steward of the Changsun family, Ang Lee answered questions politely but never spoke unnecessarily. He conducted himself with efficiency and competence.

Soon, the two walked into a luxurious reception room. It was very spacious, about 100 square meters, with sofas, televisions, refrigerators, and all sorts of equipment readily available.

On the tea table, there was a fruit platter. Next to it was a liquor cabinet filled with various fine wines, both red and white; any bottle taken out would be worth a fortune.

"Doctor Ye, I apologize for the wait. Please feel free to take anything you need here."

Ang Lee said very politely, and then brewed a pot of fragrant tea for Ye Bufan.

"Alright, Li Bo, don't worry about me. Go busy yourself."

"You rest first, I still have some things to do. I'll come and call you when the young master wakes up."

After Li An finished speaking, he turned and left the meeting room, leaving Ye Bufan alone.

He came to the window, hands clasped behind his back, and looked out at the Changsun family's residence.

Opposite was a small building about three stories high, not too far away, about thirty or forty meters.

What was most peculiar was that besides a large steel door, all the other windows of this small building were sealed shut. Dozens of people, some visible and some hidden, guarded the perimeter.

"Could this be an important place"

With a hint of curiosity, Ye Bufan used his divine sense to scan the surroundings. It was a three-story building filled with all sorts of books.

This used to be the place where the Changsun family kept their books. The entire building was filled with them, and the older the books were, the higher up they were stored.

By the third level, many of the books looked damaged and incomplete.

The ancient books may look worn and tattered, but they are extremely precious, representing a century's worth of accumulation passed down through generations of a prominent family.

However, Ye Bufan was not interested in these things. His mind possessed the inheritance of the ancient medical school, which was far richer than this library.

He stood by the window for a while, then turned back to sit on the sofa. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, savoring it slowly.

He sipped his tea as he began to ponder how he could ensure Changsun Dongju's triumphant return to the Changsun family.

From last night's conversation, he could tell that his godmother was very eager to return to the Changsun family, and he should help her realize this wish.

The best outcome would naturally be the head of the Changsun family bowing his head and proactively inviting Changsun Dongju back to the Changsun family.

The Ke Changsun family is a top-tier aristocratic family in the imperial capital. The head of the family values face above all else, and it's indeed quite difficult to make the other party bow their head.

Using force wouldn't work, the other side could easily crush him with just a steward. Not to mention Longsun Wugong, who had reached the peak of the Heavenly Rank.

After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with any good solutions. He could only take it one step at a time and look for opportunities slowly.

At this time, outside the building, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties walked towards the study.

This man, with his full beard and somewhat disheveled appearance, commanded respect wherever he went. People would stop him, bowing their heads in deference and greeting him constantly.

"Greetings, Grand Elder…"

"Seen the Grand Elder…"

This man is the first master of the Changsun family, the younger brother of the head of the family, Changsun Wenzhi, named Changsun Wugong.

Changsun Wugong was a person obsessed with martial arts. In his mind, there were only two concepts: his family and martial arts. He didn't care about anything else.

That's also why, even though he is over half a century old, he remains single and has never married or had children.

He furrowed his brows at the moment, seeming to be deep in thought, and didn't even glance at those who greeted him.

Soon, Changsun Wuji arrived at the library. He pushed open the door and walked in, going all the way up to the third floor.

He had just broken through to the Heavenly Staircase Grand Completion realm. To advance further, he could only rely on opportunities; cultivation would have little effect.

The reason for seclusion was to comprehend the ancestral sword technique, Dragon-Slaying Nine Swords, passed down through the Changsun family. This set of sword techniques was incomplete when received by their ancestors; only the first three swords were complete, while the remaining six were fragmentary and incomplete.

Even so, with these three swords alone, he would allow Changsun Wugong to enter the ranks of renowned swordmasters, with few rivals in the Imperial City.

But as a martial arts fanatic, he was naturally not satisfied with the status quo and wanted to complete the remaining sword techniques through his own cultivation and comprehension.

It's a pity that it's so difficult to achieve. He spent the whole day in seclusion, gaining nothing, yet it seemed like he had grasped something.

So he went to the library, wanting to take another look at the fragment of the sword manual and find some inspiration.

When he reached the third floor, his expression suddenly changed. The place where the remaining chapters of the Dragon-Slaying Nine Swords Scripture were kept was empty; the scripture was gone.

He searched around again, but still couldn't find any trace of the sword manual. This made him realize a very serious problem - the sword manual was lost.

Long Sun Wenwu's martial arts immediately became furious, and the powerful aura of a consummate master on the Heavenly Stage instantly enveloped the entire Long Sun family.

Ye Bufan was originally drinking tea in deep thought, but after feeling this aura, he was instantly startled and trembled all over.

This powerful aura made his soul tremble.

"My goodness, who is this They are incredibly powerful. Could this be the might of a Heaven Tier Grandmaster"

He quickly realized that only someone as powerful as Changsun Wuji could have such an aura.

"Liu An, come here."

Changsun Wugong let out a low growl, his voice seemingly soft but echoing throughout the entire Changsun family.

A figure flashed, and Liu An arrived at the library door with incredible speed.

I wonder what happened to make the elder so furious.

Upon reaching the upper floor, he cautiously inquired, "Elder, do you have any orders for me"

I ask you, from last night until now, has anyone been here

The library is a sacred place in the Changsun family. Only Changsun Wuji and a very small number of others are allowed to enter, and only with Liu An's permission.

"Reporting back to the Elder, no one has come."

"Then tell me, where did the sword manual of the Nine Swords of Dragon Slaying go"

Changsun Wugong once again burst forth with powerful energy. It could now be confirmed that the Sword Sutra had truly been lost.g Huayu, whose expression was cold and stern.
