Chapter 464: Checking ancient books, but the age is not enough?

"Grandpa, I'm back."
Accompanied by the girl's clear voice, Lan Yan pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard with the two people behind him.
"Huh? Grandpa hasn't come home yet."
Lan Yan turned his head and looked around, but did not see his grandfather.
"It doesn't matter whether he's here or not, let's get down to business." Ara Taki Ichito urged.
Lan Yan nodded, "Then you two, follow me."
As he spoke, Lan Yan led them to a side room.
Pushing open the quaint wooden door, rows of bookshelves appeared in front of me, with wisps of dust rippling under the sunlight, and it looked like they had been covered with dust for a long time.
"Hehe, I haven't been here for a while, so it's a little dirty."
Lan Yan gave an awkward smile back and stuck out his tongue playfully.
Immediately, Lan Yan began to look for books related to the two-headed monster.
Soon, the girl came to the two of them, staggering with a pile of books that covered her upper body.
“Hey…”
Lan Yan put the books down carefully, looking like he cherished these precious ancient books very much.
"Wow, so many? Are these...all of them?"
Jiaming looked at him and felt a sense of despair as he raised his head to barely see the top of the mountain of books.
"Of course not." Lan Yan dusted off his hands.
"Well, that's what I told you..." Jiaming suddenly laughed cheerfully.
"This is less than half. I still need to make a few more trips."
Before Jiaming could breathe a sigh of relief, Lan Yan shattered his fantasy once again.
"No... no way..."
Jiaming looked at the second pile of books that was slowly moving towards him, and his scalp suddenly felt numb. "With so many books, how long will it take to finish them?"
"This is a matter of great importance to Chen Yugu. Don't try to be perfunctory about it. You must study it carefully and seriously. I will supervise you."
Lan Yan said with her hands on her hips.
"Well, she's right."
Arataki Ichito nodded in agreement.
"Oh... I understand..."
Jiaming muttered as he picked up a book and started reading. Although he resisted with his mouth, his body was honestly observing carefully.
Araki Ichito and Lan Yan also picked up a book and read silently.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the red sun sets in the west, casting a lazy light on everything in the house.
During this period, Lan Yan and Jiaming changed several postures and studied different books. In the end, they couldn't help but yawn several times.
Arataki Ichito sat on the chair from beginning to end, and the book at his hand gradually rose higher, and in a blink of an eye it was parallel to his head.
Closing the last ancient book, Arakaki Ichito calmly asked,
"So, you two, what clues do you have?"
Jiaming shook his head, "I didn't find any useful clues at all."
Lan Yan also sighed, "Alas, it's the same here."
Arata Ichito frowned, "Is that so..."
After a few seconds, Arataki Ichito said tentatively, "...Could it be...that it's not long enough?"
"Ah? Not long enough? The history recorded here can be traced back thousands of years."
Lan Yan explained, pointing to the ancient book in his hand.
Arata Ichito shook his head, "Not enough, far from enough."
"I've already said that the mastermind behind this is most likely someone from the Demon God War era. Whether he's still alive or resurrected, his time is definitely not just a thousand years ago, it must be even longer."
"I don't have any documents of that level here. Even among my family, there are only a handful of ancient historical books."
Lan Yan said he was powerless.
"Whether it exists or not, we have to see it to know."
Arataki Ichito stood up, his voice steady and firm.
"But my grandfather's lineage has already separated from our main family. If I go back there to check and read it, it might not be that easy."
Lan Yan looked troubled.
Araki Ichito said, "There's no need to discuss. Lan Yan, you lead the way. I'll take you two to the Lan family's main residence. We'll knock out anyone we meet. It's very quick."
"Ah? Is this right?" A question mark popped up above Jiaming's head.
"Wait...wait a minute!"
The girl's expression was both shocked and exaggerated. She stammered, "Is it really okay? This...this...doesn't seem to be against the rules..."
"What are the rules?"
Huang Long Yidou waved his hand and said, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Every second of delay puts Chen Yu Valley in greater danger. We must race against time and make a decision immediately. There is no time to discuss this with the Lan family."
"That's the logic, but..." Lan Yan still felt something was wrong.
They are clearly doing good things to save everyone, but why are their behavior so similar to that of villains?
"Lan Yan, I have no interest in, nor do I need to, gain the Lan family's consent to enter. In my eyes, these processes are too complicated. Some things should be dealt with directly at the core."
"Remember, everything we do is for the safety of Chenyu Valley. There is no time for us to procrastinate."
Arata Ichito spoke meticulously, his tone bright and upright.
"Yes...I understand..."
Lan Yan was a little confused, and more importantly, she actually felt that what Arawaki Ichido said made some sense.
We want to save Chenyu Valley, so we need to look through ancient books to find clues.
The Lan family will delay us, so we just knock them out directly, so that they won’t delay us.
The logic here... is so smooth.
Ignoring the two people who were caught up in a brainstorming session, Aratake Ichito grabbed one of them by the scruff of the neck with one hand and lifted them up like cats. His figure flashed and disappeared from the room, leaving behind only rapidly turning pages and stirred dust.
"Sir! Slow down! I haven't even told you where my home is!"
Lan Yan, who was forced to climb walls and fly over rooftops, screamed at the top of his lungs.
Arata Ichito stood on a rooftop, his dark figure moving towards the girl on his right. "So... the Lan family's main family is here?"
Lan Yan explained, "Our family's location is in Yilongbu. Even if we advance at full speed, it will take at least four or five days. Sir, don't be so anxious. We can...Ah!!!"
"Wow--!!!"
The screams of the young boys and girls resounded throughout Qiaoying Manor, and then turned into lingering echoes that reverberated across the sky.
On the cliff, Ara Taki Ichito directly opened the fourth gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, the Injury Gate, and ran away with the two of them in his arms.
In the past, he could chase Oropus in his soul form for several hours in the living state.
Now, not only has his physique improved, but he has also opened one more gate in the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.
Moreover, after more than twenty days of being under the pressure of having his injury gate open almost all day except late at night, his body has gradually adapted to the state of the injury gate.
Maintaining the wound gate until reaching Yilong Port, Arataki Ichito said with ease, "Sprinkle some water~"
He is a good person, but that doesn't mean the girl and boy in his hands are also good people.
The wind was howling, tinnitus was rising, and everything in front of my eyes was getting dark.
Jiaming covered his mouth tightly to ensure that he would not vomit.
Lan Yan closed her eyes tightly, and used her hands to hold down the rising hem of her skirt, and the shrill scream was instantly left behind.
ten minutes later……
Arata Ichito stopped at a mountain peak, loosened his hands, and let the two men kneel on the ground like mud.
Then, the two of them bent down and supported themselves on the ground with their hands.
"Ugh!" x2
Start vomiting...
