After leaving the martial arts arena, Qin Hao did not go directly back to Cuixia Peak, but went to the "Book Collection Tower".

It is the place where the Yuxu Sect collects books on skills, techniques, martial arts, and classics, which are usually available for disciples to read and study.

The library tower is divided into five floors: the first floor is where "Yellow Grade" cultivation books and ordinary classics are placed, which are relatively common books; the second floor is where ordinary "Xuan Grade" cultivation books and rare classics are placed; the third floor is where rare "Xuan Grade" and ordinary "Earth Grade" books are placed; the fourth floor, the lowest, is where all the "Earth Grade" cultivation books and classics that record extremely rare secrets; and finally, the fifth floor, is where the Yuxu Sect's treasures are placed.

The first and second floors are open to inner disciples for free inspection; for the third floor, ordinary inner disciples need to make some contributions to the sect before they can apply to enter, while direct disciples have one free entry opportunity each year; for the fourth floor, it is very difficult for disciples to enter, even elders find it very difficult to enter, generally one has to make great contributions to the sect; as for the fifth floor, one is not allowed to enter unless the sect master allows.

Qin Hao's purpose of coming here is to look for some books related to breaking chaos and the origin of the world, hoping to find some clues from them so as to fulfill his agreement with the Spirit of Chaos.

Of course, Qin Hao only searched on the first and second floors, but there were too many books here, and they were of all kinds. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He searched until late at night, but still had no clue.

"A-choo——" Qin Hao, who was working late into the night, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said to himself: "Who is thinking about me..."

……

Qin Hao spent the whole night searching for information related to this. It cannot be said that he found nothing, but he also had no clue at all.

It was not until the early morning when a disciple came to study that Qin Hao realized it was already the next morning.

Some disciples who have been spending years in the "Book Collection Tower" were shocked to see that their senior brothers, who were still studying when they left last night, had not left yet.

I admire my senior brother's hard work, but also sigh at my own laziness.

Qin Hao felt a different mood when he looked at these people who came to study early in the morning. If he had to summarize it, it would be - you can roll with your horse!

Although he was feeling unhappy in his heart, Qin Hao still greeted these people with a smile on his face.

Qin Hao finally left. When he came outside, he couldn't help stretching. He felt that studying was not a job for humans. It was more tiring than riding a horse with his master.

……

"Today is a good day for cultivating immortality~ a good day~"

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Hao returned to his residence in Cuixia Peak humming a little tune.

"boom--"

However, the door that had just been closed was violently pushed open again by a strong force.

Qin Hao turned his head and said subconsciously: "Damn, who is coming... Oh~ Master, it's you, what brings you here today?" However, after seeing that the person coming was his master Lin Miaoyun, he was so scared that he quickly changed his words.

"Haha~ Master, your arrival is like a fairy descending to the mortal world, making my humble home shine!" Qin Hao was panicked when he saw his master with a frosty face, and quickly gave him a bunch of flattery.

Ever since that sudden thought, he always felt guilty in front of his master.

"Humph!"

Lin Miaoyun said nothing. She snorted coldly and sat down in the main seat in the hall. Then she stared at Qin Hao without saying a word.

Qin Hao felt uneasy when being stared at, and he didn't know what his master meant.

Could it be that he was getting angrier the more he thought about it, and had to give his filial disciple a beating?

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Hao became more and more panicked, and asked tentatively: "Master, you came to see me today, but do you have any teachings?"

Lin Miaoyun did not respond immediately, but continued to stare at Qin Hao for a while before speaking, "You haven't come back all night, where have you been?"

"what?"

Qin Hao didn't react for a moment. He was fine, but his master asked him where he was going.

However, noticing the increasingly cold look in his master's eyes, Qin Hao did not dare to think any more and immediately replied, "My disciple was obsessed with studying and could not extricate himself. He studied in the library tower all night."

Lin Miaoyun naturally didn't believe it. He knew this traitor inside and out. How could he go to read a book, and read it all night long? Did he treat her as a three-year-old child?

"You still don't tell the truth when the time comes. Do you think your master is easy to deceive?" Lin Miaoyun asked coldly.

Qin Hao was confused. What was he doing?

I'm telling the truth this time.

"Master, I never lied. The elder in charge of the library tower can testify to this. If I were to lie, heaven and earth would not tolerate it!" Qin Hao looked serious and even swore directly.

Seeing the traitor behaving like this, Lin Miaoyun became a little hesitant.

Could it be that this traitor really went to study?

As soon as she thought of this, Lin Miaoyun shook her head. As she said before, she had taught the rebellious disciple for more than ten years, so how could she not know his true nature.

"Don't lie to me. I've been teaching you for all these years, but you've been too lazy to even flip through the dusty books. How could you possibly study late into the night?" Lin Miaoyun's tone softened a little, but she still didn't believe it.

Qin Hao's mind raced when he heard this, and tears immediately fell, "Master, I really didn't like studying before, but since I knew that Master was suffering from illness, I have always kept it in mind and read all kinds of books, just to save Master from suffering..."

"This..." Lin Miaoyun was suddenly speechless.

Seeing the traitor crying bitterly, as if he had suffered a great injustice, Lin Miaoyun couldn't bear it. She was obviously the victim, but now she was made to look like an ungrateful and unreasonable master.

Helplessly, she could only say soothingly: "Okay, okay, even if I misunderstood you, just shut up."

Qin Hao heard this and stole a glance at his master. He stopped crying and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Qin Hao stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and silently praised his own acting skills.

However, when he thought the matter was over, the master's voice came again.

"Since you are not coming back, why didn't you tell me? Do you think that your teacher is an unreasonable person?"

"This..." Qin Hao was speechless for a moment.

"Do you still respect me as your master?" Seeing that the traitor was speechless, Lin Miaoyun seized the opportunity and questioned him harshly.

Qin Hao was shocked, and quickly said righteously: "No way, Master treats me as his own son, how dare I not respect Master!"

"Is there anything you dare not do?" Lin Miaoyun said lightly.

Qin Hao was speechless for a moment, and looking at his master, he could only give an awkward but polite smile.

Seeing that this traitor was finally speechless, Lin Miaoyun couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth - let's see if you dare to contradict your master!

Seeing the hidden smile on Master's face, Qin Hao was really confused and could only timidly ask: "Master, is this the reason you came here today?"

Qin Hao was really confused. Could it be that his master came here today just to tease him with words?

Lin Miaoyun put away her smile instantly and said seriously, "Is the Master such a boring person?"

After saying this, he looked at the traitor with a kind look.

"Of course not..." Qin Hao immediately denied it, not daring to say yes.

Lin Miaoyun put away her warm smile and explained, "In half a month's time, you will go and look for someone suitable for the disciple-recruiting ceremony. If you find someone suitable, bring him to Cuixia Peak."

Qin Hao suddenly realized that it was about accepting a disciple. He had heard the sect leader mention it in his master's bed that day. It seemed that the master had decided to accept a new disciple.

After understanding the real purpose of his master's visit, Qin Hao nodded secretly. It seemed that he had thought too much. He said that if such a cold and domineering master really had a grudge against him, he would have suppressed it directly. How could he possibly talk to him?

Seeing this traitor nodding and shaking his head, Lin Miaoyun couldn't help but ask coldly, "What are you thinking about? Did you listen to what your master said?!"

Qin Hao came back to his senses, and quickly straightened his back and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely find someone with better qualifications for you!"

Hearing this, Lin Miaoyun nodded, indicating that it was good, and then stood up and left. He was almost at the door, and then he seemed to remember something and stopped, adding: "Qualifications are secondary, and the first thing to look at is the character. Don't bring in some traitors who betray their teachers and ancestors."

After saying this, Lin Miaoyun left and disappeared in an instant.

Qin Hao stood there for a long time without saying anything. He originally thought that he was overthinking, but the last sentence... seemed to have a hidden meaning...

Now, he couldn't understand his master's thoughts.
