After Favorability Is Maxed

195 I Will Only Tell Young Master

The Scripture Chamber was located at the top level of the entire palace. It had not suffered any damage from the collapse of the ground, and the protection measures were tight. Thus, it was the most intact part of the palace, and there was basically no damage.

The structure of this place was very complicated. It was like a huge Rubik’s Cube. The door was locked by the Rubik’s Cube, and the internal structure reminded Liu Yuan of a horror movie he had seen before called a cabin in the forest.

All the documents and materials about the mechanism technique and their research results were placed in different separate individual library rooms. Between the complicated passages, a person could manually ‘move’ the required library over for use.

For the Puppeteer, who was a designer, this design was definitely for her own convenience. She could get whatever information she wanted directly. However, for others, it was a big headache.

!!

Not to mention how well one could control the mechanisms, just finding the room where the key information was stored was a big problem.

If it wasn’t for the existence of a bug like Hong Luan, if it was another batch of people who came in, even if they had the scroll and were extremely talented, they would probably have to spend at least a few months to barely have a basic understanding of the art of engineering. After all, this was the lifetime knowledge of the Puppeteer, the person who could create a puppet like Hong Luan.

With this level of understanding, it was impossible to activate the mechanism array outside the Scripture Chamber. It could be said that he would die before he could succeed.

But now, even though they had passed the first obstacle, they were still stuck on how to find the information.

Hong Luan flipped through the book left behind by the Puppeteer, but still did not find any clues. The matter fell into a deadlock for a while.

“We can’t possibly try them one by one, right?”

Liu Yuan raised his head and looked at the entire Scripture chamber, which was hollow and cylindrical, with countless square lattice rooms in a picturesque disorder.

The place looked like a large library. It was obvious that the Martial Emperor and the Puppeteer had spent a lot of time and effort to accumulate such a huge amount of information.

“Hong Luan, check the nearby rooms first and see if there are any clues that can lead you to the library where Marrow-Cleansing Classic Scripture is located. The rest of you… I guess you can take a rest.”

This place was much safer than the front. There were traps outside, and those exotic beasts could not enter. It was also quiet inside. Compared to before, it was really like a safe house, making one feel at ease.

Liu Yuan felt helpless. They were not on an outing. It was strange for them to sit down and rest like primary school students. However, they had no other choice. After all, they could not understand the mechanisms. They wanted to help but were powerless.

As for the Marrow-Cleansing Classic Scripture and the rest, it was just a name that Liu Yuan had come up with.

After He Junhao and his wife, the Puppeteer, had developed a set of martial arts that could reverse the human body’s natural attributes, they did not give it a name because it was still in the experimental stage.

However, since the two of them had both died, according to the scientific rule that people who discovered something could give it a name, Liu Yuan gave it a name.

As for why it was called Marrow Cleansing, first of all, this cultivation method was indeed used to refresh and cleanse attribute points. Second, Liu Yuan would always think of the legendary martial arts ultimate technique, Muscle-Bone Strengthening Scripture, so he might as well call it Marrow-Cleansing Scripture.

This name was surprisingly simple and suited the essence of the cultivation method, and everyone present expressed their agreement.

Everyone sat down to rest for a moment. The two little foxes secretly ran over to talk to Zhiying. Liu Yuan did not know what they wanted to do. Liu Yuan was about to eavesdrop when someone suddenly pulled on his clothes.

He turned around and saw that it was He Qingmeng.

The woman’s sitting posture was quite well-behaved, a standard kneeling position. The hem of her dress was not tucked into her legs. She retracted her pair of white jade-like slender hands and placed them on her knees. She lowered her head slightly shyly, her face a little pale because of the dangers along the way. Her long black hair hung down and fell on her full chest obediently.

Fortunately, because this Scripture Chamber was in good condition, the floor was also very clean. Otherwise, it would always give people a sense of shame that beautiful jade was covered in dust.

She obediently followed him all the way here. Although she looked delicate, she did not complain or cause any trouble on the way. Most of the time, she was hiding beside Liu Yuan and biting her lower lip without saying a word. Only when she was afraid would she pull on Liu Yuan’s clothes with more force.

Every time this happened, Liu Yuan would pat her hand to comfort her, and then he would simply pull her away.

Although it was said that men and women should not touch each other, He Qingmeng’s face was red, but she did not struggle or object. It was equivalent to tacit consent. In this case, Liu Yuan didn’t care about taking advantage of her. After all, convenience and protection were more important.

At this moment.

The woman’s fair and beautiful face revealed a trace of hesitation.

“What’s wrong? Do you have something to tell me?” Liu Yuan’s voice became gentler. This Martial Emperor’s descendant from a merchant family had always been timid and delicate, so it was impossible for people to speak in a serious tone.

In the past, before he transmigrated, Liu Yuan was still an otaku. He usually disdained women who looked pitiful. He would only say in his heart, ‘Don’t get close to me when you’re with a woman. Don’t disturb me when I’m playing games.’

However, ever since his 2D wives turned real, he had become really popular.

Of course, his wife and He Qingmeng, who he had just met, couldn’t be compared. First of all, He Qingmeng’s temperament was natural. She was naturally shy and not pretentious. Second, she was really beautiful. She was as beautiful as jade, so it was enough to make people patient.

He Qingmeng’s face reddened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and whispered, “I might have some clues about Marrow-Cleansing Scripture.”

Liu Yuan was a little surprised. The others looked over as well, causing He Qingmeng to hide behind Liu Yuan in fear, only revealing half of her face.

“I only tell Young Master,” she said in a mosquito-like voice.

As soon as she said this, she attracted some strange gazes.

There was no doubt that it was inappropriate for her to say this. After all, the two sides were now in a cooperative relationship. In this way, it would seem as if she was hiding something.

Tang Yuanhua chuckled and said, “Those who can enter the Martial Emperor cave must have their own ways. It’s great that Miss Qingmeng has some clues. It’s also human nature to have unspeakable things. What’s the big deal?”

His tone was gentle and casual, but as he spoke, he cast a warning look behind him.

Tang Yuanhua’s action was undoubtedly to show his goodwill to Liu Yuan. He had already made up his mind that even if he failed this mission, if he could make friends with someone like Liu Yuan, the value would be far higher than the mission reward.

The group of idiots behind him were ignorant people who could not see the short-term and long-term benefits.
