Zero To Hero In The Martial Arts Library Novel - Chapter 52
Chapter 52: Targeted
…
At the governor’s mansion in the center of Jianghai city.
At the moment, a group of unfamiliar guests had arrived.
“Mr. Zhao, welcome, welcome.”
The current governor of Jianghai city, Du Tianyu, was already waiting there early, along with his secretary and the management of Jianghai city.
Du Tianyu was the descendant of a prominent family in Jianghai city, and Du Changfeng was his biological uncle.
His cultivation was not high, but he used his brain, foresight, and decisiveness to manage the administration of the city despite it.
Of course, the most important thing was that there was too much land in the nine provinces, and the area was vast. There were also many cities.
There was simply no way for every city in the nine provinces to be matched with a governor with high cultivation.
The vast majority of the powerful ones were sent to the front lines.
Only the three special positions of the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy’s director, library director, and garrison commander would be filled with martial arts experts at the grandmaster rank and above.
Strictly speaking, that was the general situation in the entire world.
After all, martial artists were truly one in ten thousand. If one purely relied on the strength of their martial arts to determine the strength and weakness of their social status, it would directly result in the loss of morality, forming an extremely unequal society where the strong preyed on the weak. Then, between humans… They would be separated from each other and would be on the verge of destruction.
“Sir, this time, we have come with the expectations of the headquarters of the nine regions alliance. No matter what, we must build Jianghai city into a high-level city.”
The joy on the governor’s face could not be concealed.
“Our Jianghai city has been waiting for this day for a long time.”
“As for the detailed plan, let’s go in and talk.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Please come in, please come in.”
…
After everyone entered the governor’s mansion and discussed for a full two hours, the entire meeting came to an end, and the next development plan of Jianghai city was confirmed.
After the meeting, everyone dispersed and began to draft the development plan of Jianghai city according to the instructions of the meeting.
Only Mr. Zhao and the governor were left in the huge meeting room.
Mr. Zhao took off his gold-rimmed glasses and casually wiped them while glancing at the governor. He smiled and said,
“Actually, before I came, the headquarters had a private mission for me. They asked me to pass it to you.”
The governor was stunned and immediately said with a serious expression,
“Mr. Zhao, please tell me.”
“A few months ago, there were rumors in Jianghai city that there were two martial arts experts with the cultivation of a grandmaster. Do you know about this?”
The governor nodded.
“Everyone in Jianghai city knows about this, so I naturally know about it.”
“The headquarters’ request is to find out the identities of those two individuals.”
“You know, in the land of the nine provinces, no force is allowed to appear that is not under the control of the Alliance.”
“Of course, it would be best if we can recruit him into the Alliance to work for the nine provinces.”
The governor was a bit troubled. Those kinds of idle martial arts experts did not want to be controlled by the system.
If they wanted to join the Alliance, they would have joined long ago.
However, the other party did not appear, which meant that the other party was not greedy for power.
If he went to look for the others and they did not agree to it, he would be causing trouble for them.
They had even saved Jianghai city a few times. If he were to do so, he would be forcing the other party into a corner.
“Mr. Zhao, I’m afraid that this matter will be a little difficult to resolve. Firstly, the other party is too powerful, and his whereabouts are nowhere to be seen. It won’t be easy for my men to find him.
“Secondly… These times, if not for him, Jianghai city is afraid to be more traumatized, you can say, he is also a benefactor of Jianghai city, I…”
“Du Tianyu!”
Before the governor could finish, he was interrupted.
“Don’t forget, you are the governor of the Alliance! It is taboo to talk about affairs in public. The first thing you should think about is the interests of the Alliance!”
Du Tianyu’s heart trembled, and in the end, he could only helplessly lower his head.
“Yes.”
Seeing that Du Tianyu was obedient, Mr. Zhao’s tone also softened.
“Sir, I’m also thinking for them. Since they have such powerful strength, then they naturally should contribute to the nine provinces.
“These few years, the situation at the front line was tight. If there were two more major sects, they would have a lot of help.
“If they were willing to contribute, the nine provinces would naturally not mistreat them.
“Money, power, women… All the wealth and honor of the world, they would naturally have as many as they wanted.
“This is a win-win situation for them and for everyone.”
“I understand.”
“It’s best that you do. In addition, the case of the library being stolen is also very important. King El’s map is of great importance. We must investigate this case and get to the bottom of it.
“The missing Yang Zhengyi is a major suspect. Use him as a clue and thoroughly investigate the entire library. We must get King El’s map back.”
“Yes.”
…
On Ye Xiao’s side, he instructed the workers to arrange the books. After working for half a day, he finally tidied up the books.
Not all of those books were new. Some of them were newly purchased by the library, while the other parts were donated by libraries in other regions.
In that way, Ye Xiao would have a lot of new books to read.
He was now the supervisor. Although he was still on the third floor, due to the expansion of the library, the area under management was already as big as the entire third floor.
Ning Yuhen followed him and became his personal assistant.
Although that kid… Hmm… It was a little difficult to distinguish the male from the female, but he was still a good person and was quite diligent.
Ye Xiao arranged everything for him to do while he himself became a hands-off manager. He read books peacefully and lived quite a comfortable life.
He was also more and more able to understand the benefits that power brought.
It was like countless invisible hands and feet. You only needed to move your mouth and you could help you accomplish many things.
That point was somewhat like a spiritual cultivation technique, but the difference was that a spiritual cultivation technique still needed to consume one’s spiritual energy.
Power, on the other hand, was superior to others, and it also carried an inexplicable sense of control.
Even if Ye Xiao did not bully others, others would also want to curry favor with him and take the initiative to work for him. That was the charm of power.
After reading for two days, Ye Xiao collected two more basic healing cultivation techniques.
That way, he had already reached the level of nine basic healing cultivation techniques.
In the divine soul’s Golden Book, the nine pieces of paper that were imprinted with the healing-type cultivation technique were already beginning to emit a faint golden glow.
That meant that with another basic healing cultivation technique, he would be able to synthesize a top-notch healing cultivation technique.
He reckoned that when the time came, even if he was beaten until his arms and legs were broken and a large hole was left in his chest, as long as he was still breathing, he would be able to quickly heal his injuries.
It was as if he had activated an immortal cheat?
It was also a free and unlimited renewal!
Just thinking about it made him feel happy.
However, when he was reading a book, a big hand suddenly patted his shoulder.
“Old Ye, you’ve been promoted, why are you still reading?”
