Chapter 12: I’m Just A Small Administrator

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Act! Just play dumb!’

“What do you mean by that?”

Gu Hai had a look of disdain.

“I was wondering why you never go to Red Romance. So you’ve found a fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged girlfriend!”

“…”

His brows knitted deeply.

“Are you out of your mind? I don’t have a girlfriend.”

“Oh! And you still insist you don’t have one. I wonder who that girl who has been sitting in your area is.”

Gu Hai pointed indignantly at Qin Yuyan who was in the distance.

When Ye Xiao saw her, he could not help but feel a little surprised.

So it was her.

Yesterday, she had dropped her student ID card here. However, saying that he knew her now would inevitably cause Gu Hai to misunderstand.

Therefore, he shook his head slightly.

“I don’t know her.”

In fact, he really did not know Qin Yuyan. He had only spoken to her three or four times.

“You really don’t know her?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I’ll go get her number.”

Gu Hai quickly trotted over and asked with a cheeky look, “Hello, I…”

“Scram!”

Without waiting for Gu Hai to finish speaking, she had already spat out the word, instantly causing the smile on Gu Hai’s face to stop abruptly.

He rubbed his nose and immediately left in embarrassment. Ye Xiao walked over to him.

“I’ll escort you out. Let’s go and eat quickly.”

Gu Hai glanced at him with a rather resentful look.

“Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. I really don’t understand why God granted you such a good-looking face. It’s not that I want to say this, Old Ye, but you’re wasting precious time. It’ll come back to bite you sooner or later.”

Ye Xiao just smiled and did not argue.

Gu Hai was right. Regarding looks, he had always been very lucky.

It seemed that as his strength gradually increased, his invisible temperament also continued to grow.

Unfortunately… He did not like the feeling of being tied down. Right now, he wanted to savor the freedom of being single.

Of course, from another perspective, it could be said that he was just confident enough about his appearance. If he wanted to find a girlfriend, he could do so at any time, so he was not in a hurry to do so.

After the two of them had lunch, Gu Hai returned to the dormitory. As usual, Ye Xiao came up to read.

Not long after, Qin Yuyan walked over. With a hint of uncertainty, she carefully asked,

“Um… I want to ask, have you see my student ID around here?”

Ye Xiao did not lift his head from the book as he replied,

“Top right corner of the first row of bookshelves on the left.”

Qin Yuyan was stunned. She walked over and reached out to check. As expected, she found her student ID.

She walked over quickly.

“Thank you. I thought I left it on the road.”

“Alright.”

Ye Xiao responded indifferently. His cold attitude made Qin Yuyan feel a little awkward.

She had never experienced such cold treatment before.

However, upon closer inspection, the administrator was really good-looking. There should be no shortage of girls around him, so it was normal for him not to care about her.

“Um… Can I ask another question?”

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and put down the book in his hand.

“Go ahead.”

“I want to learn about saber techniques, but there are too many here. I thought that since you are the administrator, you should know most of these books. Can you recommend to me which books about saber techniques are better, or which are more popular?”

Ye Xiao’s eyes inadvertently swept across her right hand. The base of her thumb, the center of her index finger, and the lower-left corner of her palm. Although it was still considered soft, compared to the other parts, it was clearly a little calloused, and she did not know any saber techniques which means she was most likely a sword practitioner.

Naturally, she could not hide her cultivation from Ye Xiao’s knowing eyes. She was already in Houtian fifth grade.

At that age, to cultivate to the Houtian fifth grade一her talent was not bad.

If she were to switch to cultivating saber techniques, it would probably waste a lot of time. It would also waste her many years of accumulation and attainments in sword techniques.

However… What did that have to do with him?

What the other wanted to learn was her choice. He only needed to do his job as an administrator.

After two seconds of silence, he continued,

“People may choose to cultivate different types of techniques, but that may not be suitable for them. After all, the majority of people who practice saber techniques are men.

“Moreover, most of the saber techniques that men practice are wide range moves.

“The seventh book on the third row at the fifth level is about the Falling Snow Saber, which is gentle and graceful saber technique. It consumes less spiritual energy and is suitable for girls.

“The fourth row, second level, and eleventh book, Luo Family’s Saber, has a solid foundation and is suitable for beginners of saber techniques.

“On the first level’s first row, the sixth book is about the Fox Hunting Saber. It is a strange saber technique with various changing movements. It had a miraculous effect on the enemy.

“For beginners, read those three saber techniques.”

Qin Yuyan could not help but be surprised.

“Amazing. It seems that your research on saber techniques is quite profound. Your strength must be extraordinary, right?”

After all, she had only asked Ye Xiao to recommend a saber technique to her, but he had chosen three saber techniques that were very suitable for her, and he had even told her the advantages of each one.

“You’re overthinking it. If my strength is extraordinary, I wouldn’t have become an administrator. Moreover, I only know the cultivation techniques of my own area. As for those in the other areas, I wouldn’t know much at all.”

Qin Yuyan nodded. What Ye Xiao said was also true. What kind of person with a profound cultivation would not be snatched by the army or various large companies? Why would they be a small administrator here?

Moreover, as an administrator, he would definitely know the types and characteristics of the cultivation techniques in his area, so it was understandable.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

After he replied curtly, he continued to lower his head to read. Qin Yuyan knew that he did not want to talk to her anymore, so she turned around to find the three books and then went to the hall on the first floor to borrow them.

There were two ways to borrow books in the library. One could borrow them in the area they were taken from through the administrator, and the other would be to go to the hall on the first floor.

Qin Yuyan knew that Ye Xiao probably did not like to be disturbed, so she did not let him go through the procedures for her.

As for Ye Xiao, he overestimated himself and underestimated the strength of plagiarists.

In the morning, he read nearly 200 cultivation techniques and selected three basic mental cultivation techniques from them. From noon to night, he read nearly a thousand books, but he only obtained one independent basic mental cultivation technique. The rest were all plagiarized.

However, it was not entirely considered bad luck because, during the selection process, Ye Xiao had also found a basic sword technique.

Therefore, his basic sword techniques have reached eight in total. Within the Golden Book, the eight pages that recorded the basic sword techniques had already begun to emit a faint layer of golden light.

That meant that he was about to synthesize a sword technique of an extremely high level.

He was only missing one or two more basic sword techniques.
