Chapter 007: Accumulating Sand to Build a Tower [1]

The young lady was momentarily stunned, then directly went over and pulled Xiaoyao out from inside

Reproduction, either store or destroy the old replica version, and reproduce a new one. This is to ensure that in case of any unforeseen circumstances, the original will not be lost.

This is not the first time; sometimes when the young lady cannot find Xiaoyao, she calls out for him in frustration, and at other times, Xiaoyao appears promptly, reporting to the young lady.

It is not to say that he has read the books in this library; even the fact that he repairs, reproduces, and maintains these books here is known to very few people. After all, this matter is merely a trivial one, a minor skill at best, at least from the perspective of the Mo family.

It was precisely because of that day in the library that Xiaoyao began today's matter

Ah, what do you want? Do you want to fight with me? Come on, I'm just bored and wouldn't mind letting you know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is! The young lady slightly raised her small face and said with some excitement, perhaps because she had found something to pass the time.

In the following days, the young lady remained thoroughly intoxicated, consuming all the barrels of wine. This brought her great joy, as she did not reserve any for future enjoyment. Since it was brewed by her own family, there was no need to cherish it; they could simply continue to brew more.

Xiaoyao is almost the exclusive steward here, as he is the most meticulous and detail-oriented in his work, and his craftsmanship is top-notch. He has previously restored some books that were difficult to repair, which has made the person in charge of managing this library very fond of using Xiaoyao, to the extent that he is almost the only one employed.

Because the little one still has to work, "Xiaoyao said innocently

"You just need to know; some things, even though they are clearly impossible, why force them? Take your time; as long as you put in the effort, you will catch up," the young lady said earnestly.

On that day, after the young lady ran off to fetch the wine, Xiaoyao began his work once again, which involved copying books and repairing them

At this moment, the Third Young Master held such thoughts, not only because he personally considered the matter to be a coincidence, but also due to the events unfolding before him

So why is that the case, why was that particular gathering different from the others

"Unless a miracle occurs, one can only strive; rather than waiting for a miracle, it is better to put in the effort," said the Third Young Master. His perspective is very pragmatic and also the most useful.

What happened, why are you not speaking? The young lady is relentless in her reasoning

"Elder sister, you know very well that I cannot defeat you..." The third young master is not foolish; he understands the gap between himself and the young lady.

... ... ''

Indeed, it is torment, true torment

After many years of effort, Xiaoyao has basically completed the restoration of the books in the library, and during this time, he has read almost all the books here; however, not many people are aware of this.

You rascal, you always appear and disappear mysteriously. I can never find you, yet you show up in the most inexplicable places, the young lady said irritably

Having examined the ingredients and methods, they are all identical, yet why is there such a significant difference

However, upon confirmation, those previous wines were indeed brewed by the Mo family winery, and during that period, no one from the Mo family entered any winery!

Xiaoyao's head emerged from the bookshelf at the back, looking quite puzzled as he searched inside, trying to find out who was calling him

"Impossible! The wine we brew ourselves is of very low quality. It's fine for casual drinking, but it can't be presented on a formal occasion. It definitely doesn't reach the level of what I drink." The young lady immediately refuted Xiaoyao's statement, but does Xiaoyao really need to lie?

I am not deceiving your mother... uh, I mean, young lady, the wine is indeed in the cellar. The wine we brew is always sent to the cellar. Do you doubt that we would sell it outside?" Xiaoyao spoke intermittently, as his throat was a bit constricted by the young lady.

Ah, young lady, do not be so haughty, I still have pen and ink in my hand

"Alright, I will give it a try. If you deceive me, I will skin you alive!" the young lady said fiercely

The young lady vanished like the wind, and after tasting the wine, she immediately realized that Xiaoyao had not deceived her; this wine was indeed brewed by her own family. The several jars carelessly left here serve as proof of this.

"Do not think you can fool me! I have spent more time in the wine cellar than in my own room, and none of that compares to what you give me. Now tell me, is there still wine left, and where did it come from?" The young lady grasped Xiaoyao's collar tightly and said fiercely, as if she would make Xiaoyao suffer greatly if she was not satisfied with his answer.

If it is a high-priced fine wine, there will be a designated place to store it, rather than being placed casually as it is now

It is best to comply; otherwise, I will make your life worse than death

The elusive presence cannot be found because it may exist in every corner of the Mo family, and its sudden appearance is also due to the fact that it can manifest anywhere, including in books

The wine is in the cellar, " replied Xiaoyao.

As for the secret manuals that Xiaoyao came into contact with in the library, the management of this library did not pay much attention to them. These things depend on one's talent anyway. Xiaoyao has already encountered quite a few while restoring and replicating, so what difference does it make to have a few more

Of course, it is possible

However, the Third Young Master is not unaware of this principle; he simply does not want to disappoint his parents, while also wanting to prove something to himself

If you only want to participate in the Longmen Competition, there may still be some hope, although it is quite difficult. Even if you are willing to put in the effort, it remains challenging! You need to have some strategies... The young lady furrowed her brows, stating that there is hope, but that hope is also very slim.

As the second batch of wine was produced, the young lady's expression immediately turned sour, for the taste was completely off. She suspected that the winery staff were cutting corners, and thus instructed them to redo it.

In fact, if they not only examine the materials and processes but also look into the members involved in the brewing at that time, they may uncover the reasons behind it

At that time, there were indeed people who thought about whether Xiaoyao was present, but those who considered it believed that his presence or absence was not significant. Moreover, it was not easy to find Xiaoyao at that moment, as it seemed he was engaged in something, a matter that everyone from the Mo family dared not disturb.

It is certainly a coincidence

... ... ''

The Third Young Master fell silent and made no move

Because during that occasion of brewing, among the members involved, there was one person who was often overlooked, a carefree individual who took on temporary jobs everywhere

"Miss, what would I gain by deceiving you? There is no benefit in that. This wine is indeed brewed by us, and there are still a few jars left in the cellar. The date is just ten days ago; you can take some out and taste it!" said Xiaoyao, feeling a bit of a headache.

Do not mention the Qingyun City; even among the members of the Mo family, the Third Young Master may not necessarily be able to break through. There are many individuals from the Mo family who wish to participate in this Longmen Competition, and each of them is significantly stronger than the Third Young Master. The quota from the Mo family is his first major obstacle

However, the wine that came out later, although improved somewhat, still could not meet the young lady's expectations, and was completely overturned by her, leaving behind two words—continue!

"Xiaoyao, does your method really work?"

It is indeed a coincidence that Xiaoyao was conscripted. Initially, he was only supposed to assist, but he ended up restoring the books completely. This not only surprised everyone but also affirmed his craftsmanship

I just want to participate in the Longmen Competition, whether I win or not is not something I insist on..." The Third Young Master spoke slowly, from this, it can be seen that he knows his limits, and at least his goal is not entirely without hope

Xiaoyao is quite speechless

Indeed, she did not seek out Xiaoyao to converse or for any particular reason; she simply wanted to drink.

Xiao Yao felt quite helpless; he originally did not want to get involved in such troublesome matters. Now, he blamed himself for being too talkative, while also blaming the young lady for asking him to do things for no reason.

At this moment, the Third Young Master was in a large vat, which was filled with medicinal liquid, while flames burned beneath the vat, maintaining a certain level of heat, much like the process of decocting medicine

"Stop saying so much, do you still have the wine and the *illustrated* book you gave me last time?" The young lady did not mention anything else and directly stated her purpose for seeking Xiaoyao.

Although the library prohibits entry to servants and outsiders, it still requires personnel for maintenance, organization, airing out books, repairing them, as well as copying and transcribing. These tasks necessitate human involvement

Everyone finds this very perplexing, yet they cannot identify the reason

"Miracle, it has already happened, wait, Xiaoyao!!! No, that should be a coincidence..." At this moment, the young lady's mind flashed with Xiaoyao's face, for the miracle of the Third Young Master came from Xiaoyao, but she quickly dismissed this thought

"Do not speak ill of my parents, otherwise I will not hold back!" The Third Young Master became somewhat angry, stating that he could tolerate anything, but when it came to comments about his parents, it made him lose his composure

What? Who called me

"The wine we brewed? Are you saying that the wine you gave me is brewed by us?" The young lady appeared somewhat puzzled

The second lady spoke harshly to Xiaoyao, but soon after, she changed her expression as she looked at her son, showing a hint of heartache, for at that moment, her son was in the throes of suffering

Hmm! Xie Yao nodded slightly, "Otherwise, where would I have gotten the wine? At that time, I happened to be helping out at the winery, brewing wine, and I was carrying the wine that was originally meant for the cellar. But then you discovered it and snatched it away..."

However, no matter how hard they try, they cannot reach that standard. Even with the young lady personally supervising, it remains the same. This leaves the young lady feeling quite perplexed, and she suspects that there may have been a mistake made previously.

A miracle is indeed a miracle, and it has little to do with carefree existence. Moreover, since it has occurred once, how could there be a second time
