Super Gene Hunting Ground

Bing’er giggled and had already run off, grabbing a book and sitting quietly elsewhere to read.

Yelu Caiyun wore a pink dress, her hair cascading over her shoulders, with fair skin and a beautiful appearance, exuding elegance.

She walked to the desk opposite Yang Xiao and sat down. A gentle breeze blew by, allowing Yang Xiao to catch a faint fragrance from Yelu Caiyun, making his mind wander a bit.

Yang Xiao didn’t deny it, ”Do you mind if I join you for reading?”

Yelu Caiyun looked at Yang Xiao with a smile.

Yang Xiao smiled,

”The library isn’t mine, you can sit wherever you like. Hmm, thank you for taking care of Bing’er.”

”It’s nothing, it’s mainly Qing’er playing with her, I don’t really have time to take care of her.”

”Why did you think of coming to the library on the first floor to read today?”

”Because I’m curious. I heard from Bing’er that you’ve been reading in the first-floor library for the past half year, so I wanted to come and see what books here could fascinate you for so long. Yang Xiao, may I ask you a question?”

”What is it?”

”Most students usually go to the second or third-floor libraries to study various cultivation techniques skills. Those cultivation technique books are more practical. Why do you stay on the first floor reading these books on basic knowledge?

What help do these books provide for your genetic evolution cultivation?”

Yang Xiao smiled, suddenly realizing Yelu Caiyun indeed was an extremely intelligent woman, able to discern something unusual from his atypical behavior.

”Actually, it’s nothing special. Miss Caiyun, have you ever wondered why the basic knowledge about genetic evolution is placed on the first floor while the cultivation skills books are on the second and third floors?”

”Oh? I haven’t noticed. Is there some reason behind it?”

”Of course, the books on the first floor are foundational knowledge. Perhaps you’ve read many books and found they don’t seem practically useful, and it’s hard to immediately enhance your combat power. However, if you read enough books, much knowledge about genetic evolution will permeate your consciousness. When you practice genetic evolution techniques in the future, it can have a subtle effect that doubles results with half the effort.

For example, here are the cultivation insights of many super strong genetic evolution practitioners from hundreds or thousands of years, their mental journeys when encountering evolution bottlenecks, and methods for breaking through bottlenecks.

Although these methods don’t suit everyone, reading more can always provide some insights; in the future, when you encounter similar problems, you might find perfect answers from the experiences of others.”

Yang Xiao unreservedly shared his thoughts, also reflecting his insights from reading for half a year.

Yelu Caiyun listened, nodded, and said:

”I really admire you. I didn’t expect you to endure such loneliness, be able to settle down and read. Thinking about myself, I truly feel inferior.”

”Hehe, Miss Caiyun, please don’t say that. Everyone’s situation is different; you have your dilemmas, and I have mine. We’re all just searching for our respective paths.”

Yelu Caiyun, hearing Yang Xiao’s words, trembled slightly, with a touch of glowing warmth in her gentle eyes.

During this time, many people mocked her for using her beauty to seek various shortcuts, saying she wanted to snag a rich husband, but only she understands her pains.

Yang Xiao is the first to empathize and understand her like this.

Yelu Caiyun sighed, looking at Yang Xiao, and said softly:

”Thank you for understanding me. Only now do I realize it’s truly a blessing to have a confidant in life!”

Yang Xiao awkwardly smiled, thinking, don’t make me your confidant; I don’t have the time to accompany you, so he said:

”Miss Caiyun, you are stunningly beautiful and exceptionally intelligent; I’m just an ordinary person, hardly qualified to be your confidant, haha.”

Yelu Caiyun chuckled softly,

”You’re teasing me again. Seriously, I have something to ask you, hoping you’ll be frank. How do you think someone with average talent like me should choose the path of genetic evolution?”

Yelu Caiyun looked earnestly at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao didn’t expect her to ask this, even less that she would admit her talent as average.

”Haha, who says your talent is average? You have great talent; otherwise, how could you enter the Flying Leopard Academy?”

Yelu Caiyun hesitated for a moment, then said:

”Actually, to be honest with you, I got into the Flying Leopard Academy because Chen Cangshan pulled some strings for me. He asked Director Lu, who is a friend of Chen Cangshan’s father, to help.”

Yang Xiao was surprised, looking at Yelu Caiyun.

”Why are you telling me this?”

Yelu Caiyun looked at Yang Xiao, her face slightly flushed.

”It’s a fact. Without Chen Cangshan’s help, I probably couldn’t have gotten into the Flying Leopard Academy. I’ve always been grateful to him, considering him a good friend.”

After saying this, Yelu Caiyun gently bit her red lips.

Yang Xiao felt the atmosphere a bit awkward. He knew Yelu Caiyun shared this to indicate that she and Chen Cangshan were just friends, not a couple.

But Yang Xiao didn’t want to follow her topic further, fearing he might fall into a trap laid by Yelu Caiyun.

The library was sparse with people, only he and Yelu Caiyun around, so he smiled and said:

”Actually, genius is 99% diligence plus 1% talent. Your aptitude isn’t poor; with effort, you can surely achieve your dreams.”

Yang Xiao felt his words were somewhat insincere, but he couldn’t find better words to comfort Yelu Caiyun.

Yang Xiao had heard from Gao Lou about Yelu Caiyun’s family situation, with the entire family pinning their hopes for rising on this single woman.

Her pressure was naturally immense; lacking enough talent, she had to resort to some tricks using her beauty to pursue success.

While Yang Xiao didn’t like her methods, he also knew he had no right to judge or interfere with Yelu Caiyun’s life.

”Can you help me?”

Yelu Caiyun softly asked, her eyes filled with gentle expectations, an alluring sight that no man could refuse.

Yang Xiao, after all a kind-hearted man, his heart softened, said:

”People who aren’t good-looking should read more,”

Yelu Caiyun: ”...”

”Ah, what I mean is, your genetic evolution talent is average, so read more books, thoroughly understanding the basic knowledge of genetic evolution. It will benefit your future practice of various functional techniques and improve your genetic realm.”

Yelu Caiyun bit her red lips again, gazing intently at Yang Xiao,

”So can I accompany you for reading in the future?”

Yang Xiao quickly distanced himself, saying:

”Well, the library is so big that you can come and go freely. I’ve been reading here for half a year and might not come here every day in the future.”

”But, I’m afraid I won’t have the willpower to persist alone; can you guide me at first?”

Yelu Caiyun suddenly said coquettishly.

Yang Xiao could only force a wry smile,

”Alright then.”

”Then it’s settled; from now on, I’ll come to the library with you every day, and we’ll leave together.”
