It took what felt like an hour for this dude to finally arrive.
Meng Yixuan even contemplated using his OP control of qi to sit in the air like those really cool Bhuddist monks in his real life– past life? First? When he lived in the 21st century.
The thought finally quelled itself when the guy arrived and displayed a smile that was very awkward. Clearly, he wasn’t the kind to show emotion but this- this was just too hilarious.
Fortunately, Meng Yixuan had a master poker face or he’d have burst into a fit of giggles by now.
It kinda reminded him of that one black haired teacher from whatever Japanese animation it was, who could definitely give demons a run for their money when he smiled.
His perfect poker face was betrayed by the ever-so-slightly brighter glint of his eye. One that only someone who had trained themself to be able to spot such things– like the mystery librarian before him– could see.
However, whether he noticed it or not was unclear seeing as he didn’t comment on it.
“Young Cultivator.” The librarian had finally reached him and offered a bow, which Meng Yixuan received.
He knew that cultivator law meant one couldn’t accept such courtesy from a superior but this guy had no cultivator qi on him. He was most likely a non-cultivator.
But then he wondered how broke their sect must be to hire a mortal.
Maybe he should just renegade and dip, clearly the Righteous Starfall Sect had no hope.
Maybe Cursed Sunset would take him on? They definitely would, although he’d probably have to take the back door.
But then again, what were pretty ass boy friends for if not to help you sneak into parties you weren’t invited to.
Or plane journeys you couldn’t book so they shove you in their suitcase and tell the people at check-in that it’s a robot they designed.
Or maybe act as your date so your parents don’t nag at you to find someone and then you have to kiss cos your parents pressure you into it and you oh-so very reluctantly do so and then you both like it and start dating and get married and live happily ever after-

Anyways, back to Mr Smiley’s bow.

The mortal also accepted, feeling the virtue of the bow immediately.

He handed the scroll to him, not caring much that it’s an object of extreme potential. Anyways, this guy was probably the owner of the artefact and he wasn’t about to refuse to return a borrowed object.
As soon as the librarian took hold of the scroll, its vitality seeped away and the warm glow disappeared, prompting Meng Yixuan to awkwardly smile and explain, “I’m sorry, I think it’s because you don’t have a cultivator’s aura so it did that.”
“Incorrect.” The– still grinning like a maniac– librarian stated, with no falter in his tone. The falter that was missing from him appeared in Meng Yixuan’s expression as his smile shook.
“It is due to the fact that I do not possess the right cultivator’s aura, Young Master.”
Wait, was this dude a cultivator? No way! He must be so weak that Meng Yixuan couldn’t sense it!
Mind you, it hadn’t even occurred to him that the librarian was in fact stronger than him.
Then, he watched as the librarian swept an arm across the scroll and a golden holographic lock and chain– most likely made of spiritual qi– appeared above it, unlocking and falling apart.
“Young Master, for you.” The librarian handed him the scroll, which felt much lighter than the first time he’d held it.
“For me?” Meng Yixuan was confused. When has anyone ever been allowed to just take a library book? Ever?
“It is rightfully yours, Young Master, destined by the heavens. Only the true bearer may cause such a bright resonance and unleash its real face.” Not to mention he’d somehow made it onto the 53rd floor, the librarian thought.
“Then, I must express my gratitude.” Meng Yixuan bowed once more, accepting the scroll.
It started its glowing montage sequence again, bright and blinding.
“It’s not gonna do this every time is it?” The almost losing his eyeballs thing was gonna get old real quick.
“Will.”
Gosh, this dude was so wishy washy, sometimes speaking in extensive paragraphs and other times not willing to speak at all.
He quickly put the scroll in his earring, in case the guy wanted to take it back.
“Might I know the name of the one I am indebted to?” Meng Yixuan had a weird feeling about this dude and he just knew he’d be able to recognise their name.
“I am known as ✨Yang Zhuren✨, Young Master may address me as Yang Shixiong.”
As he spoke his name, the sha la la sound of sparkles and glitter played, bringing along with it sunshine and rainbows.
“Sorry, could you repeat that? I didn’t quite catch your name.” He did, he just wanted to see the prettiness that came with it once more.
“Right, it’s✨Yang Zhuren✨.”
Ahh such a pretty sight. He decided he must learn how to do it someday from this guy.
Oh wait. Yang Zhuren. Wasn’t he the sect master’s…??
“Immortal Yang–”
“Yang Shixiong.” Meng Yixuan felt the dejavu of the situation, remembering his encounter with his soulmate (and if anyone says otherwise, he’s willing to sue!)
“Right. Does Yang Shixiong work here as a librarian?”
“Correct. I’m here at all times.”
Meng Yixuan nodded happily at the newfound knowledge, promising to return later (whenever later was). Then, he left the library through the front door and started on the trauma-filled trek to his living quarters.
From his shared domain with his dao companion, Yang Zhuren heard the voice of a certain sect master tease him, “Ah Ren. You could even gain benefits from a baby! What a weakling heh~”
To which Yang Zhuren spat just as teasingly, “and a baby could beat Ah Yu’s maximum ascension of 52 on his first try. Why, Ah Yu must be even weaker than the me who simply received heaven’s graces~”
And Ah Yu froze instantly, slipping to the little mushroom patch in their garden and started to grow more. Xiao Mao, their little cat beast, chortled at his expense and continued to groom herself in the sun.
Ahh okay today’s recc is The Black Saint is My Stalker from our sexy best girl Val, I <3 Han Li and <D Graham rn but he get better so let’s have a race and see who can reach his redemption arc first
Mind you, I have to get a job now cos my bestie, who’s doing the same course as me just a year early, told me that the stupid ass laptop the course needs cost almost a grand. A wholeass mofo grand!! and i’m broke as shit so i must abandon my wishful dream of wasting away and now i gotta become an employed human *sad sigh*
