Chapter 231: Chapter 199: The Dark Ages

...

Yan Xiaobao spent hours each day reading library books, but no matter how much he searched, he found no other references to the Dark Era or the Sin. Yan Xiaobao pushed the envelope far enough, even asking Mr. Li if he had ever heard of the Sin, but the teacher said he hadn’t, and judging by his expression, it was clear he was not lying.

When he sat in the library again, he sighed, tirelessly pursuing a stack of heavy books. He knew the chances of finding more clues were slim, but he would seize any opportunity. Unfortunately, now wasn’t the time to delve into the mysteries of the Dark Era, so he packed up the books he borrowed, and bowed slightly to bid farewell to the librarian before returning to his courtyard.

The past few days had been spent in the library overnight as he cultivated pure Qi Line, but tonight was different. Tonight, he didn’t have the luxury to cultivate all night; tonight, he needed to sleep.

The week passed faster than expected, and Yan Xiaobao knew that although the mysteries of the Dark Era and the Sin lingered in his mind, he had to prioritize other urgent events; he needed to channel his final bit of focus into the upcoming event the next day. The day of the auction was upon him.

Yan Xiaobao settled himself on the bed, his eyes closed instantly, and he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

The next morning, Xu Yue woke up feeling more refreshed than he expected and quickly gathered the items he would need for his journey. First was his conical hat, then his blue clothes, and finally a few coins left from selling pills. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Unlike last time, Yan Xiaobao was not traveling with the Rong twins, nor did anyone know he was leaving the academy today, so just as the sun rose, he dashed out of the academy gates, heading towards Liluo City.

Although the distance was easier to cover in a horse-drawn carriage, even a lower-ranked student possessed a fairly decent speed, but Yan Xiaobao was in no rush to reach his destination. The auction wouldn’t begin until the evening, so Yan Xiaobao took four hours to arrive at the city gates.

After returning to the city, Yan Xiaobao found a stall selling street snacks, and he bought a jam-filled bread for breakfast. The bun was warm and sweet, and after running for hours in the biting morning wind, both Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng felt very satisfied.

After wandering randomly for a few hours, Yan Xiaobao noted a random inn where he could stay.

He could obviously choose to check in as he did last time, but doing so would make it more likely for his real identity to be seen by others.

As Yan Xiaobao walked through the city, he passed through a poorer area and noticed that no one was moving on the bustling streets.

Suddenly, a heavy smell hit Yan Xiaobao, assaulting his nostrils with a scent he was all too familiar with. At one time in his life, he had experienced how his entire world turned into a swirl of red by this particular nauseating iron-like smell.

Yan Xiaobao glanced at the empty street ahead and noticed a black-clad, stealthy figure observing him. The cloak completely covered the person’s face, but Yan Xiaobao had a feeling that no killing intent was emanating from within. Yan Xiaobao turned away and walked off, clasping his hands together and bowing deeply to the figure.

Throughout his journey, Yan Xiaobao could feel the black-clad man observing him, but he did not follow him.

As Yan Xiaobao stepped onto the main road, he felt the sunlight on his skin, as if the entire world had changed. Previously, he felt as if he was submerged in a tank filled with ice water. He didn’t feel the sunlight, the light was dimmed. He didn’t see the people around him, but now, the city was full of life.

It was clear that this black-clad figure used some form of magic, but Yan Xiaobao didn’t know why it didn’t affect him, while Lan Feng was currently hiding deep within Qi Cave, waiting for them to get far away from the black-clad figure.

It was apparent he’d killed someone, but he didn’t consider himself a cold-blooded murderer because he ignored Yan Xiaobao, leading the white-haired boy to shrug lightly and once again ignore the black-clad figure.

Although he had killed someone, murder was a frequent occurrence in this new world, and since he hadn’t killed Yan Xiaobao before, it was likely he wouldn’t pursue him later. As for who he was and why he committed murder, Yan Xiaobao didn’t think it was something he could pry into.

After traversing various roads and alleys for several hours, Yan Xiaobao finally arrived at an inn where he checked in. It was a colder inn than the previous one, however, it would provide what Yan Xiaobao needed.

The room itself was very small. The room only had a single bed and a basin, but these were all Yan Xiaobao needed.

Before changing clothes and removing the conical hat, Yan Xiaobao quickly washed himself in the basin. Although he had left the academy early, he still had to move quickly to the Black Market Auction House. First, it took him four hours to reach the city, and then he spent time wandering around. After seeing the black-clad figure, Yan Xiaobao walked several more hours, and now there were only two hours until the auction began.

Arriving at the auction house this time was different. The staff stood guards on the street, greeting Yan Xiaobao with a respectful bow, and as soon as he arrived, they immediately passed a message to the manager via a Memory Stone, causing the elderly man to come downstairs to greet their guest.
