I'm also desperate.
Chapter 431 Documents
Qing Si wasn't far from the inn where they were staying.
After heading over, Fang Yue and Lin Ling found Qing Si.
Fang Yue's first impression of Qing Si was that it was big, very big.
Looking around, the surrounding land all belonged to Qing Si, which was much more imposing and domineering than the guardhouse in Guyue Village!
"This Qing Si is too rich, isn't it? Their offices are so big."
"Shhh, don't talk nonsense in Qing Si, it's easy to get into trouble."
Hearing what Lin Ling said, Fang Yue quickly stopped talking.
The two stepped forward to explain the situation. The gray-clothed guard glanced at them and told them to wait a moment before going in to report.
Before long, a man in white official robes with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes walked out from inside.
"Are you the ones reporting about Guyue Village?"
"Yes."
"Come in."
The man in white led Fang Yue and Lin Ling inside, saying, "My surname is Yu, you can call me Yu Baiyi."
Yu Baiyi gave off a distant feeling of official business, even saying his full name.
Fang Yue and Lin Ling exchanged a look, but didn't say anything more.
After entering Qing Si, Fang Yue found that it was indeed as vast as it looked from the outside.
The marble-paved ground stretched out, leading to a large courtyard with wooden stakes randomly placed inside.
Some gray-clothed Qing Guards were diligently practicing martial arts, sweating profusely.
After passing through the large courtyard, there were roads leading in all directions. Yu Baiyi led them to the right.
"Lord Yu!"
"Lord Yu."
People who passed by greeted Yu Baiyi, but Yu Baiyi was a bit cold, simply nodding slightly as he passed.
It wasn't until he saw a man in green official robes striding past that he quickly stopped, bowed, and respectfully saluted.
"Lord Jun."
"..."
Just as Yu Baiyi had treated others before, this Jun Qingyi simply glanced at him and hurried past.
Fang Yue curiously sized him up, and after Jun Qingyi left, he whispered, "Lord Yu, are Qingyi Lords common? How many Qingyi Lords are there in our Qingsi County? What is their strength like?"
"...Don't ask unnecessary questions."
Yu Baiyi didn't answer directly, frowned slightly, and then continued to lead the way.
Fang Yue was immediately a little unhappy. He poked Lin Ling next to him and whispered, "This guy is even more annoying than you were back then."
"What about me?"
Lin Ling was depressed. He thought he was quite good to Fang Yue. When was he annoying? He had completely forgotten that he was also acting aloof and cold when he first met Fang Yue in Guyue Village.
Besides, what's wrong with acting aloof? I was stronger than you back then, what could you do about me acting aloof?
Lin Ling muttered in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.
After all, Fang Yue's strength now was enough to rub his head on the ground.
This made Lin Ling very depressed. Fang Yue was just an ordinary person who hadn't even entered the martial path, and in a month he had transformed into a first-rate Houtian expert.
If he hadn't witnessed Fang Yue's growth with his own eyes, he would have suspected that Fang Yue was possessed by something strange!
Damn it! If time could go back to when we first met, I would definitely be aloof to the extreme, so that Xiao Yue would know what the posture of a strong person is!
The two encountered many people along the way.
Fang Yue discovered that if Yu Baiyi encountered a fellow Baiyi of the same rank, he would occasionally stop and chat a bit more.
But if he encountered Gray-clothed Qing Guards and Black-clothed Qing Guards, he would just be aloof and be done with it.
As for Qingyi, they had only encountered the previous Lord Jun, so there wasn't much more to compare.
This kind of interaction made Fang Yue feel strangely familiar.
When he was in university, he had a classmate who was somewhat similar to Yu Baiyi.
Of course, in reality, there was no such thing as strength, so wealth and learning ability were the measures of strength.
That classmate would act very humble when he met someone with better economic strength or a stronger learning ability than himself.
But he would be incredibly aloof when he met someone weaker.
Only with people of similar strength could he have normal, equal communication.
That's right, it was equal communication, because when facing those academic giants, he followed and praised them in an almost servile manner.

That posture was unsightly, and others couldn't bear to watch.
But he enjoyed it, and whenever his learning improved or his economic strength increased, he would list the people he had previously treated equally in the lower ranks and become aloof.
He was so mercenary, so refined, that Fang Yue couldn't stand it and tried to stay away as much as possible.
And Yu Baiyi at this moment had the flavor of that classmate.
It was just much more restrained, his aloofness was just right, his equality was just right, and his licking was just right, maintaining a balance point.
"Aren't you tired?"
Fang Yue asked strangely. In reality, Fang Yue would never ask his classmate such a question, but in the game, when he encountered a similar person, he was very curious about what was going on in their mind.
"What?"
Yu Baiyi was slightly stunned. Tired from this little bit of walking?
"Having different attitudes towards different people, judging based on yourself, and giving attitudes that are either high or low, aren't you tired doing that?"
"..." Yu Baiyi then understood what Fang Yue meant, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Fang Yue, and frowned.
"You understand... Forget it. You're from a village, and seeing that you're still young, I'll advise you, find a village to stay in as soon as possible. Qing Si isn't as simple as you think."
After saying that, he pointed to the large building in front of him and said, "That's the Archive Room, go there yourself. I have something to do, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Yu Baiyi gave Fang Yue a small, pure black token, and then he really turned around and left, decisively and without dragging his feet.
Lin Ling said dejectedly, "Why did you provoke him? He's a Baiyi after all. If you get hired smoothly, you might even work with him."
"I was just asking, who knew he would have such a temper? He's completely a Guyue Village version of you."
"What version! I was so good to you back then!"
Lin Ling's memory seemed to have beautified himself, and he didn't think he had ever lost his temper at Fang Yue.
The two entered the Archive Room, where they were quickly greeted and assigned to a room.
Across from the room sat a Black-clothed Qing Guard wearing a tall hat with heavy bags under his eyes. Behind this person was a row of large bookshelves filled with various archive materials.
At this moment, the Black-clothed Qing Guard was buried in writing something. It wasn't until Fang Yue cleared his throat that he raised his head, stared with dead fish eyes, and said weakly.
"What level of archives?"
"What?"
Dead Fish Eyes narrowed his eyes: "Who brought you here? Didn't they give you a token?"
"Yu Baiyi brought us here... A token, are you talking about this?"
Fang Yue took out the black token Yu Baiyi had given him earlier. This thing was pitch black and felt like stone to the touch, but there was no other information.
"That's it... Special Class Black Level Archives?"
Dead Fish Eyes frowned: "Village destroyed?"
