After a few more minutes finishing eating every dish the demon hunter ordered and paying for them, they finally get out of the restaurant. The street is still crowded, they now decide to stay in the city for a bit longer.

By the way, Liao Bo is in the city as well now. She decided to eat plenty of street food she paid with her own money. Because she is looking for a way to save the Angel of Darkness she needs plenty of resources to turn the creature into a human again. She can't waste any time in restaurants or any places like that. So after satisfying her hunger with some street food, she decides to go in hope of finding a library containing documents about possessed beings.

Liao Bo looks around her and finally finds a public library, it is pretty rare to find some since not a lot of people can read, anyways she enters it. It is almost empty. There are actually only two or three people reading books in this place, they look rich and educated.

The woman walks deeper in the library, she also notices that there aren't that many books in here but she still hopes to find something to help out her friend. The demon killer is now standing in front of some shelves, looking at every book she can find but there is nothing about possessed beings. So she decides to walk away from that library and sits on a bench right in front of the building to think about a place to find what she needs.

After a few seconds looking all around in the street, she finally notices a huge gate from afar. She realises it is a master's house, so it is owned by a really rich and important person, richer than Lang Xinya's family. The one living here must have a really important job in this city and must have a huge library, so more chance to get what she is looking for.

While knowing she can't easily enter that kind of building without an authorization, she gets up from the bench to walk to that huge and well decorated door. After a really few minutes walking, Liao Bo ends up facing the door. She needs to find a way to discreetly break in since two guys are guarding the door, despite them not looking so strong it is better for the demon killer to not get their attention. So she walks again but this time she just goes and hides not that far from the door.

While Liao Bo is looking for a way to enter the house's garden, after looking around for a few seconds only, she notices a small gate opened. This is her only chance to access this huge house's library. There must be what she is looking for in it.

She now slowly walks to that open gate, looking really carefully around her to make sure no one sees her intruding the private garden. She walks through the door and finally enters the huge garden, she sees a big house a bit farther away in that vast garden. Liao Bo looks around for a bit, then she silently thinks :

-"Woah.. It is really huge. Big enough to build habitations for so many people in that city."

She keeps walking in the garden and finally sees what seems to be a library, it is pretty huge and not attached to the main building. So Liao Bo doesn't have to enter the master's home, she remains discreet and won't be caught by anyone in this place. The demon killer discreetly walks in some bushes to reach the library in the most discreet way possible.

Liao Bo is now inside that library, she entered the place by going through a wide opened window. After looking around, she notices that there is no one in here, she doesn't have to worry about being caught by someone. Liao Bo just walks to some books, trying to find something to free her friend from demonism.

After a few minutes silently searching, she finally finds something interesting, so she takes some of the books to sit properly at a table and to read and study it in detail. A dozen minutes after studying the books, she hears something coming from outside of the building, as if someone is walking on the rocky floor, so she quickly takes one of the books and hides in the library.

She indeed doesn’t have time to escape since the person walking around the library is already entering the building, so she has no choice but to hide inside of the library.

Liao Bo is hiding behind some expensive wooden furniture, holding her breath while she hears discrete steps walking in the entrance of the library. The wood softly cracks under the feet of the one who just entered. The latter is in fact a young adult man, he must be the young master living here since he looks really rich. But Liao Bo can't see that for now since she is completely hiding.

The young master walks to the small table where Liao Bo was studying the book, he stops at the table, inspecting it, then he notes :

-"What is it doing here ? It is not where I left it..." He almost mutters, talking about the other books left on the table.

At first the young master indeed thinks he is all alone in the library but after a few more observations, he notices some footsteps on the wooden floor. By the way, he is the only one who can freely access this library, any other people who wants to go in here have to acquire an authorization from him. So he obviously knows now that someone intruded the library.

The young master slowly starts to follow the footsteps he sees on the perfectly clean floor but before he can go any closer to those footsteps' owner, a voice is heard from the outside of the library :

-"Young master Xian ! Young master Xian Luoyang !"

The one called, named Xian Luoyang, instantly stops moving and turns around to directly walk to the door in order to get out. While walking to the door, he speaks, addressing to the voice who just interrupted him :

-"What's going on Yin Qiu ?"

An even younger man shows up in front of the young master, he seems to be his personal servant, since he called him 'young master'. The latter answers by simply informing :

-"Someone is waiting for you in the main room. It seems to be important."

Xian Luoyang decides to follow his servant, leaving the medium sized building and letting the one who intruded the library by themselves. The young master will probably send someone to arrest that mysterious intruder so Liao Bo has to react quickly to take what she needs and to get away from the young master's house.

By the way, Xian Luoyang didn't seem so panicked about someone intruding his house, it also feels like it is not the first time someone broke into his house, so he knows how to handle this kind of situation.

After confirming that the young master is finally gone, Liao Bo gets out of her hiding spot and just runs away with the book in her hands. She goes through the window one more time, then she runs to the small gate she previously took to enter the garden.

***

On the two men's side, they are both sitting under a tree a bit farther from the main road so it is way calmer. Lang Xinya seems to deeply be in his mind, thinking about what happened earlier on this day at the Ancient City, when Yao Qiu faced the immortal being. The demon master notices it, so he talks, asking the other man :

-"Lang Xinya, what's wrong ? Is it about this morning and that guy, Liu Hien ?"

Lang Xinya stops looking at the floor to turn his gaze to Yao Qiu's face, he looks at him and answers :

-"This guy said weird things about you.. So he might be spying on us any time."

-"You know, I sensed his presence. I'll warn you if I sense him again." Yao Qiu softly pats Lang Xinya's hand to reassure him.

After thinking for a short time, Lang Xinya talks :

-"You seemed to have a real reaction when he said the name 'Hong Zihan'. Is it.. your real name ? Or do you, at least, know about someone named like that ?"

The demon master suddenly takes his hand away from Lang Xinya's, not answering. After a few seconds of silence and seeing Yao Qiu's reaction, the demon hunter talks again :

-"Or you don't want to talk about it ?"

-"I... I just don't want to talk about it for now."

Constating the demon master's reaction, Lang Xinya now knows that Yao Qiu knows something about that name, something that seems to be pretty important. But the demon hunter doesn't want to pressure the one right next to him anymore.

After a few seconds, Lang Xinya looks around him then he notices some flowers on the ground then he gently approaches his hands to end up picking one of them. He directly reaches his hand to Yao Qiu face to stick the flower behind one of his ears. The demon master turns his head, surprised, he is now looking at Lang Xinya in the eyes. The one receiving the flower softly blushes.

After placing that flower, Lang Xinya softly slides his hand on Yao Qiu's cheek. Then the demon hunter notes :

-"The flower suits you very well."

-"Thanks.." Yao Qiu says, blushing a bit, he places his hand on the demon hunter's then he keeps talking :

-"Erm... By the way, after the last night we spent together... What are we ? Friends with benefits or more than that ?". While saying that, Yao Qiu obviously hopes to be more than just 'friends with benefits' with the demon hunter.

But before any word can get out of Lang Xinya's mouth as an answer, the demon master's puppet interrupts them at this precise moment, as if it was listening to the conversation from the beginning. Lang Xinya takes his hand away from Yao Qiu's face, surprised.

By the way, Susu doesn't have much time to say what it has to say since it is now the only demonic creature in the city, anyone can attack it at any time now. So Susu simply hands something to Yao Qiu while talking :

-"Sorry master. We forgot to give you this earlier. We found it close to your house. It looks important."

Yao Qiu, a bit disappointed by not having an answer, just extends his hand to take the thing Susu is holding, thinking it isn't something really important, as opposite as what the puppet just said. So three long nails fall in Yao Qiu's palm, those metal items aren't effectless on the demon master. After taking a quick look at it, his eyes indeed widen and some memories comes back to his mind, some bad memories...
