Chapter 636 Ancient Book?_1

Yin Tian and Murong Liuli, holding hands, walked away from the place under the awe-struck gazes of the crowd.

The two of them went straight back to the hotel.

After a tiring day outside, Murong Liuli was already extremely sleepy. She had just returned to the hotel when she threw herself onto the bed. In a matter of minutes, regular breathing sounds could be heard.

Seeing the young girl fall asleep so quickly, Yin Tian smiled gently.

He tiptoed over, pulling the blanket over Murong Liuli, careful not to wake the girl who had just dozed off.

Afterward, he walked over to a sofa nearby and sat down on it.

Yin Tian reached into his chest and pulled out the ancient book that he had spent over four hundred billion to buy at the auction, and began to read it intently.

It was clear that those first-class families from Central City valued this book highly.

Even Lin Yunzhi had told her that as long as he handed over the book, he wouldn’t have to give up half his power and could join the Lin Family’s alliance!

This surely signified the ancient book’s great importance.

Although Yin Tian did not know what exactly the ancient book represented or its use.

Nevertheless, letting go of this book easily was obviously not an option.

However...

Yin Tian flipped through the book over and over again but couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Everything about the book seemed so strange; even after pondering for a long time, he couldn’t decipher what was so special about it.

"This is strange..."

Yin Tian frowned deeply, "Why do all these people from Central City want this thing so badly?"

Suddenly, Yin Tian remembered something.

He took out his phone and dialed the number for the Know-It-All’s manager.

The call was quickly answered.

"Hello, boss."

"What’s the deal with that ancient book from the auction? Why do those first-class families desperately want it?"

Yin Tian cut straight to the chase and voiced his doubts.

"Please wait a moment, I’ll have someone start investigating right now,"

said the Know-It-All’s manager respectfully.

Yin Tian’s brow furrowed.

Normally, for such a significant matter, Know-It-All should have already collected enough information.

However, the Know-It-All’s manager began to send people to investigate only after he brought it up.

Unreasonable!

This was highly unreasonable!

Yet Yin Tian didn’t say anything, just hung up the phone and sat there quietly, looking on.

After a while, Yin Tian’s phone rang again.

Yin Tian opened the newly received message, only to find it woefully brief.

"Hm?"

Yin Tian’s brows tightened.

His eyes fell upon the phone screen.

"This book appears at the auction every year?"

Yin Tian murmured to himself, reading the message revealed, "For five consecutive years, there’s been one each year?"

Yin Tian was utterly baffled.

If every year for five years an auction featured such an ancient book... could it be...

Yin Tian’s eyes brightened, feeling like he had grasped a key point, "Could it be... the book I have is only one from a whole set? Because the book is incomplete, that’s why I can’t understand it?"

Yin Tian stroked his chin, his face contemplative, "It seems likely... So, who holds the other four books?"

Just as he was about to call the Know-It-All’s manager again, he realized that the message he had just received already included the whereabouts of the other four books.

"The Chu Family has one... the Cao Family has one... the Lin Family... two?"

Yin Tian voiced his surprise.

He hadn’t expected that the Lin Family would already have two such ancient books in their possession!

"No wonder Lin Yunzhi wants the one I have."

Yin Tian spoke slowly: "If they got mine, the Lin Family would have three, and then they could try to get those of the Chu and Cao Families. By doing so, the Lin Family might be able to firmly grasp all the ancient books!"

Although he didn’t know what it would mean to gather all the books, Yin Tian obviously wouldn’t fulfill Lin Yunzhi’s wishes!

"It seems that I really must protect this ancient book properly,"

he said, looking at the thin booklet in his hand before putting the ancient book away again.

Then, he looked back at his phone, hoping to find other helpful information in the message.

Unfortunately, even Know-It-All had no knowledge about the book, and the information collected was scant.

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter."

Yin Tian put down his phone, leaned back on the sofa, and let out a sigh.

Just then, a sudden cry of pain came from behind him.

Yin Tian’s frown deepened, knowing that Murong Liuli was enduring suffering for him again.

He got up and walked over to Murong Liuli’s side, extending his hand to take her small one.

He was transferring his own Vital Energy slowly into Murong Liuli’s body.

This would make her feel a bit better.

However...

Doing so would have a tremendous effect on his own body.
