The Seventh Base

Chapter 541: Chapter 14: So Exciting

Xu Mo looked at Princess Elizabeth and simultaneously felt a chilling sensation on his back, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

Danger!

“Third floor, section C, where there are quite a few books on the Cultivation of Transcendents. Find them yourself,” Xu Mo responded politely.

“???”

Princess Elizabeth looked at Xu Mo. He expected her to find the books herself?

If she had to find them herself, what did she need him for?

Could he really be clueless?

Seeing Princess Elizabeth standing there in a daze, Xu Mo secretly wondered if this princess of Lucas Star was a fool. What was she daydreaming about?

“May I help you with anything else?” Xu Mo asked.

“…” Princess Elizabeth didn’t know how to respond, and said, “No.”

Having said that, she turned around and walked upstairs.

With her status, it wasn’t appropriate to make it too obvious, right?

A princess from Lucas Star seeking guidance from a library attendant? That hardly seemed fitting.

Moreover, although Xu Mo had helped Ize and Carter make notable progress, it might just be a coincidence, and she didn’t yet know if it would work for her.

So, having initiated the conversation herself, she expected Xu Mo to grasp the rest on his own.

And he actually expected her to find it on her own?

Thinking this, Princess Elizabeth felt somewhat displeased as she walked alone towards the third floor, section C.

The books here were plentiful. Lucas University’s library was brimming with books on Transcendents, densely packed. Princess Elizabeth glanced at them. How was she supposed to start?

As a member of the Royal Family, she had specialized tutors to teach her powerful Combat Skills and practical combat techniques and was familiar with a variety of abilities. Previously, she had considered these diverse books as trivial cleverness and tricks beneath her regard.

But now, tasked with finding something suitable for her, how was she to choose?

Princess Elizabeth flipped through one book and quickly put it down, then picked up another, only to set it aside a moment later, showing little patience.

Time was extremely precious to a member of the Royal Family.

Thinking this, Princess Elizabeth felt a bit gloomy. She walked back downstairs to where Xu Mo was. Could it be that he was pretending to be ignorant?

Xu Mo turned his head to look at Princess Elizabeth returning. Was she done already?

That was quick.

At that moment, Princess Elizabeth, carrying herself with a noble air, stood there and said in a slightly haughty tone, “I am Princess Elizabeth.”

Xu Mo was taken aback.

“I know, many around here talk about you, esteemed Princess Elizabeth. Is there anything else I can help you with?” Xu Mo asked.

“…….” Princess Elizabeth stared at Xu Mo.

She suspected Xu Mo was doing it on purpose.

Did he know who she was only from overhearing others?

Xu Mo didn’t recognize her?

“Xu Mo.” At that moment, two figures approached. Ever since they had started cultivating with Xu Mo, Ize and Carter often appeared together.

“Miss Elizabeth, what brings you here too?” Ize asked, then glanced at Xu Mo.

Could it be?

The proud Princess Elizabeth, coming to seek Xu Mo?

Carter’s gaze shifted, showing a contemplative expression.

“Our school is known as the encyclopedia of the Star System Alliance. I haven’t visited it before, so I thought I’d take a look since I was passing by,” Princess Elizabeth stated, naturally not admitting she was here for Xu Mo.

“Miss Elizabeth, this is Xu Mo…” Ize began to introduce Xu Mo but saw Princess Elizabeth turn and walk away.

Carter followed her, saying, “Miss Elizabeth, I’ve been here quite a bit recently and have read some books. Let me introduce them to you.”

“Alright.” Princess Elizabeth nodded.

Ize was filled with question marks. Wasn’t she here to find Xu Mo?

“Xu Mo, I’ll go ahead,” said Ize, hurrying after them. How could he let that sly Carter be alone with Princess Elizabeth?

Xu Mo watched Ize and Carter, his expression quite spectacular.

So, they were enemies like that!

Indeed, a deep-seated vendetta.

Watching the eager demeanor of Ize and Carter, Xu Mo inwardly cursed, useless as bootlickers.

However, he could see that Carter was somewhat smarter than Ize, understanding people better.

The proud Princess Elizabeth obviously didn’t want to admit she was here for Xu Mo, and Ize even went ahead and introduced them, wasn’t that exposing her real purpose?

“When are you resigning?” Xu Mo had just sat down when Zero threw out a question.

“Ah?” Xu Mo was startled, looking up at Zero: “Resign? What resignation?”

Why resign?

“Didn’t you start a company?” Zero looked at him with big eyes.

She knew about these things, as she had been watching Xu Mo all along.

Xu Mo did everything in front of her without hiding anything.

“What does starting a company have to do with resigning?” Xu Mo looked at Zero and said, “Witch, are you out of your mind?”

Zero looked at him, not saying much, then took out a sword from the side and placed it on the table.

Xu Mo: “…….”

“Zero, think about who I am; I can’t expose the fact that I own a company. Others are handling things. In the library, I can learn a lot and meet many outstanding people, otherwise, how could the company be started?” Xu Mo patiently explained, “Do you understand?”

Zero’s big eyes still watched him, not quite understanding!

“Zero, you see, auntie…,”

“No, you see, your auntie has some misconceptions about me. I need to continuously improve my knowledge so she would let me be with you, right?” Xu Mo continued.

Zero blinked, seeming to see some logic in it.

“Then I won’t resign for now,” Zero spoke: “I talked to my mother already, and things have been going well there these past few months. When she has time, she’ll arrange for Stark Hao and a few of your friends to come to Lucas Star.”

Xu Mo was somewhat moved when he heard Zero’s words.

Zero was always the kindest to him.

“Sister Butterfly will come too, right?” Xu Mo said. Although Ross did not dare to act rashly, the deceitful people from Delta needed watching, and Ye Qingdie was undoubtedly the perfect candidate. She would keep Ross in line.

Zero looked at Xu Mo, “You’re currently studying. I’ll ask my mother to think it over.”

Xu Mo: “……”

Elizabeth was somewhat depressed; she hadn’t expected to encounter Ize and Carter here.

The two always recommended books they had read to her. Elizabeth casually flipped through them, but upon reaching the end, her expression changed slightly, and she became more serious. These books weren’t about combat skills; many were summaries of cultivation and battle by predecessors. She usually summarized these in actual combat and rarely consulted theoretical knowledge.

After all, the most important aspect of combat was actual fighting, but now that she had access to books, they seemed somewhat useful.

It appeared that Lucas University indeed had a collection of valuable works by predecessors.

As she continued looking through the books, Elizabeth found that some were not very useful to her, while others were somewhat useful, offering new insights with many points worth learning.

Elizabeth became quite absorbed, and before she knew it, a lot of time had passed.

As she closed a book and glanced at the densely packed books on the shelf, Ize and Carter were still following her.

She turned around and said, “These are all experiences of predecessors in cultivation; nothing special about them, limited usefulness. I think that librarian is trying to make contact with you and fool you.”

Carter: “……”

Ize: “……”

You looked at them for so long!

Just as Ize was about to say something, Carter said, “The Princess is right; I feel the same way.”

“Utterly shameless!” Ize cursed in his heart upon hearing Carter’s words. This deceitful scoundrel really would betray his brethren, shameful to be associated with him.

“No wonder there hasn’t been much progress lately.” Ize also said, “The Princess truly has a discerning eye.”

Carter looked at Ize, and their eyes met with mutual disdain.

Despicable.

Shameless!

“I heard he even used psychology to fool many female students at school, improper conduct,” Elizabeth continued.

“There was such a thing?” Carter said, “It seems I was mistaken, I’ll break off the relationship when I return.”

“Shameless…” Ize cursed silently, saying, “It’s hard to know a person’s heart. Thank you for the reminder, Princess.”

“Let’s go.”

Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction, then headed downstairs.

She saw Xu Mo and Zero still sitting there, and Elizabeth approached them.

“Mhm.” Ize coughed, and Xu Mo turned back to see Elizabeth. “Does Miss Elizabeth need something else?”

“I heard that you’ve been abusing your position as a librarian, even deceiving female students. I will suggest to the curator that you be dismissed,” Elizabeth said.

“……” Xu Mo looked at Elizabeth.

Had he provoked this woman?

“However, considering it’s your first offense, I can offer you another job. Would you like to accept?” Elizabeth said.

Xu Mo’s mind couldn’t quite keep up.

“What job?” Xu Mo asked.

“Do you practice cultivation?” Elizabeth asked.

“A little,” Xu Mo replied.

“I still need a guard,” Elizabeth said.

“Um…”

Xu Mo was somewhat depressed. Yekaterina, Elizabeth, did they all just want to employ him as a servant?

“Bang!”

Zero’s sword smashed down on the table.

How many times was this now? This was how many times now!

She was really angry.

“No,” Zero said resolutely.

“Why?” Elizabeth frowned.

“He’s mine,” Zero looked at Elizabeth and then at Xu Mo, adding, “Servant.”

“Do you know who I am?” Elizabeth was astonished that someone dared to draw a sword in front of her.

“No,” Zero replied.

“Elizabeth,” Elizabeth said.

“Don’t know her,” Zero said.

Elizabeth: “……”

Ize and Carter were absolutely terrified on the side.

What was this about? Weren’t those books supposed to be useless? Why did they want Xu Mo as a guard now!!!

Xu Mo shrank a little, looking at the two beautiful women.

Frightening!

“Do you want to fight?” Elizabeth glared at Zero, having lost to only one person in the newcomer competition of the Extraordinary Department.

“You can’t handle it,” Zero said.

“???” Elizabeth stared at Zero, were this master and servant duo both so arrogant?

She was very angry now.

Around them, many people’s eyes turned towards this scene, trembling with fear.

Two top beauties… fighting over a servant.

How exciting, how thrilling!
