Two days flew by, it was already the leaving day for Yao Zhu and his maids to set to travel all the places in the War God Kingdom.
Because Yao Zhu and Han Luan Er didn't know any places in the War God Kingdom, Lingshu became busy scheduling the list of beautiful places before visiting the Ye Clan's Mine for Yao Zhu to sightsee, and as the Clan Mistress, she had the good grasp of entire War God Kingdom map and history.
.....
Martial Library Tower,
In the carriage, Yao Zhu with Ye Heng came to the Martial Library Tower entrance, because Yao Zhu asked Ye Heng to let him take a look at the books inside the Marital Library Tower.
'Xiao Xun, don't come inside the Marital Library Tower' said Yao Zhu using the jade communication token, Xiao Xun hesitated at his orders but still followed because she sensed a threat from Martial Library Tower.
'At your order Young master, but if you are in trouble please don't hesitate to call me' said Xiao Xun in a cold voice as it was her duty to protect her Young master.
'Sure' said Yao Zhu while he got down from the carriage.
"This is the Ye Clan's Inheritance, Young Master Zhu, and all my Ye Clan's glory hold in this Marital Library Tower," said Ye Heng with pride while stroking his long white beard, after two years Yao Zhu staying in the Ye Clan, Ye Heng had the general idea with Yao Zhu and he knew Yao Zhu's character after meeting for few times.
"I can see Lord Ye Heng, with a 4th tier Defense Array protecting the Martial Library Tower, I knew this 7-floor building is very important to the Ye clan," said Yao Zhu as Ye Heng smiled slightly that a 10-year-old kid could able to find the array mechanism protecting the Martial Tower.
"Haha, Young Master Zhu, you always amaze me with your knowledge at such a young age you can find out the level of array" praised Ye Heng while the two of them went to the 12ft solid metal door, Ye Heng unlocked the door making an uneasy noise.
'So that thing is in this Martial Library Tower but security is quite tight, the main inheritance should be on the seventh floor'
Yao Zhu's eyes caught a one-armed old man whose body was filled with vigor and pressure emitting like a commander.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet the commander of Ye Clan's Frontlines army, Commander Ye Hao," said Yao Zhu with a nod to the trimmed white beard man, with a straight scar on the nose, twisted with a wide grin.
"Haha, I am honored, Young Master Zhu, for knowing my name, and thank you for curing this old man from the curse," said Ye Hao cupped his hands and bowed to Yao Zhu whose bodyguard, Xiao Xun helped Ye Hao to clear the Demonic madness curse, which was the curse given to Ye Hao in the Frontline battlefield.
"It's a small thing, Commander Ye Hao, and I am glad you are perfectly fine but.... " Yao Zhu's eyes fell on the missing arm with a hint of doubt as he had a hesitation to ask his query.
"It's a punishment that I give to myself Young Master Zhu, even though I know that cut arm could have been attached again but I failed protect something precious, this will be a lifetime scar for me to bear the failure," said Ye Hao with a face that had to hold the responsibility for the entire the civilians to protect in the Kingdom as Ye Heng looked away with a slightly angry face.
Yao Zhu nodded with the understanding that there was a story behind after seeing Ye Heng's face and he didn't ask any further questions regarding his arm as Ye Hao guided Yao Zhu to show him around the tower.
Ye Hao even went to the sixth floor and tried to see what type of techniques he could obtain form these flying jade tokens. Of course, Ye Hao hesitated at first but after hearing that Yao Zhu didn't want any Yuan techniques as he only wanted to test out.
Surprisingly he was able to get the Crimson Blaze Mantra, and Crimson Blaze fists techniques but Yao Zhu was disappointed that he didn't get any Axe fighting techniques.
There were no bell rings when he lightened up all the seven circles in the Array because Ye Hao deactivated the mechanism in the Array.
'I should note this Crimson Blaze Mantra, in my Appraisal screen' thought Yao Zhu because with Ye Chen's talent, this technique would be in his hands. Of course, he won't know the details but it was like he could know the one of the techniques that Ye Chen uses.
"This Martial Library Tower was wonderful, Lord Ye Heng and Commander Ye Hao but now I would like to see the ancient antiques in the Martial Library Tower," said Yao Zhu as Ye Heng's face brightened with excitement but Ye Hao's face darkened with dull look after hearing the words of Yao Zhu.
"You like keeping delicacy items Young Master Zhu?" asked Ye Heng with an eager face and couldn't wait to know any antiques were there with Yao Zhu.
"Yeah, as you know, I want to be a Blacksmith, and to make the ending weapon perfectly, I need to learn the design, and ancient items are the only source that interests me," said Yao Zhu as he took a box from his dimension ring and passed it to Ye Heng, who held it with alertness. When he opened the box, he found a toy of a soldier sitting on a battle horse.
'This kid has a genuine feeling to learn Blacksmith' thought Ye Hao with surprise and looked at the antique inside the box.
The toy looked normal, not having any special materials, but its designs were complex, too. At a glance, anyone could say it was created with great care and love, and most of all, this toy was not made in this era.
"This piece was form Ancients times!" exclaimed Ye Heng with trembling and he began inspecting the toy with a focused gaze.
"You guessed right Lord Ye Heng, this toy was excavated in the Ancient ruins, it dates back to the previous era, and what I like here is the designs are spectacular," said Yao Zhu as Ye Heng nodded his head and gave it back to Yao Zhu carefully.
"Come with me Young master, I will show you the antiques in the 1000 years of the War God Kingdom," said Ye Heng with an excited face as he couldn't wait to show them to Yao Zhu.
'Time to hunt any treasures, if my guess is correct normally the protagonist's side quest should be treasure hunting that no one can find in the Ye Clan, let's see if I found anything before Ye Chen could find it' thought Yao Zhu with a sly glimpse on his face.
They came down to the ground floor, went to the corner where there was a door and Ye Heng opened and welcomed Yao Zhu while Ye Hao had an uninterested look as his brain was never able to comprehend the craziness of his big brother's love over the antiques and of course, almost all the Lords of the Great Yan Dynasty were like his brother.
Yao Zhu activated his Appraisal skill and looked around to see if any treasure could be caught by his Appraisal skill.
Ye Heng began explaining the greatness of his collections and Ye Hao was been sighing out loud feeling bored.
'This painting...'
{Appraised profile}
Name: Tyrant Peak
Description: A Ancient Era famous Body Qi master painted this picture in his free time. But he hid a special Body Yuan Cultivation technique in the form of code only after decoding in the right way, could be able to get that lost technique.
Type: Growth type.
*****
'I need this picture but I don't know if Ye Heng could give it to me?' thought Yao Zhu while intensely looking at the picture of showcasing the beauty of the highest peak that reached the clouds.
"You like this painting Young Master?" asked Ye Heng with confusion after all there were no specific features in the painting as it looked normal to him but when he saw the Tyrant painting.
"It's a good painting Lord Ye Heng, I am just thinking of this painting as an inscription in a shield, don't you think it would be a good design on a shield" said Yao Zhu making both brothers nod their heads with slight impression but in the battlefield showcase would never help a soldier only strength and usefulness of a weapon.
"You like the design of this picture, I will give it to you Young Master Zhu," said Ye Heng with a wide grin, Ye Hao looked at his brother with wide eyes and couldn't believe that his big brother gave his own antique to others.
"Huh? Are you sure Lord Ye Heng?" asked Yao Zhu with confusion as he knew just by Ye Heng's enthusiasm and love for collecting antiques but unexpectedly he gave the Tyrant peak painting to him.
"It's ok young master Zhu for what you help me, this small painting is nothing," said Ye Heng while he put the painting in a rectangular box carefully and gave it to Yao Zhu who stored it inside his dimension ring.
Yao Zhu nodded his head with grateful expression but his red eyes caught the glimpse of the rusty sword, shocked inside his heart after seeing the Appraised profile of the antique and quickly he gazed around to see any more hidden treasure.
"Then commander Ye Hao, I won't be in the Ye Clan for a few months as I am traveling the War God Kingdom," said Yao Zhu before leaving the Martial Library Tower after all, he knew all the interesting things were the rusty sword, Tyrant peak painting and the Seventh floor remaining didn't have worth to him.
"Then your safety..."
"No need to worry I've already done everything, brother," said Ye Heng with a reassuring face.
"Ok Young Master Zhu have a nice journey," said Ye Hao with a bow, Yao Zhu nodded his head and strode outside the Marital Tower Library with Ye Heng escorting him to the luxury carriage.
....
"This kid is not easy brother, I am increasing the the level of Defense array to 5th tier and I am always feeling this kid's eyes are not normal as he is looking into my soul," said Ye Hao with a stern face while Ye Heng was thinking about the antique painting in his mind and Ye Hao already guessed what was his brother thinking about.
"Tsk!, I am leaving," said Ye Hao while he shook his head with a headache.
