"Little sis, what is this book? Why do these images... they seem to resemble... somewhat similar to Grandpa’s wheelchair, aren’t they?"
He picked up the book on top, briefly flipped through it, and asked.
"This is a book about mechanical arts, and those below are about sorcery. You take a look first and ask me if you’re confused. But these books were tough to find and then stealthily copied. You mustn’t tell anyone, understand?"
Lin Caisang looked up, reminding him.
The so-called books of sorcery were actually profound mathematics books. To learn mechanical arts, one must delve into numbers. Otherwise, how could you master it?
Lin Changhong nodded slightly, half understanding.
What’s going on with his sister? Just reading a book, why the mystery?
"Should we intervene in what’s happening outside? That woman’s fixed her gaze on my future brother-in-law. We can’t let her off easy!"
"That’s Clan Chief Ya’s granddaughter. Even if her actions are somewhat out of line, it should be dealt with by the Ya Clan members. What can we do?" After saying this, Lin Caisang lowered her head and continued sorting herbs.
Even if they had to intervene, Ya Molian would handle it. She should save her energy.
"If you’re not busy, I have more books here..."
"No, let me finish these first."
Lin Changhong hastily interrupted his sister, he already had several books. For him, a beginner in study, this would take months. Surprisingly, she still wanted to challenge him with more books.
Does his sister think he doesn’t need to rest all day?
By evening, Ya Yuju still hadn’t returned home.
After waiting, the Clan Chief Ya started to feel anxious. He wondered whether his idea earlier was too bold. After all, Ya Molian was not easy to provoke, and he wasn’t a native to Ya Village, just a temporary inhabitant.
Moreover, from overhearing Ya Molian’s conversations, he could tell she had major businesses outside.
If he agitates Ya Molian into making Lin Caisang’s family leave Ya Village, then his efforts would be for nothing.
If Lin Caisang leaves, or gets forced out by him, the villagers will surely treat him as an enemy. Even if he remains the Clan Chief of the Ya Clan, his rule will be nominal.
More seriously, the old clan elders could unite and overthrow him!
He knew those crafty elders had been coveting the chieftain’s position for a long time, hoping he would mess up so they could oust him.
"Shouldn’t have let Yuju handle it. What if she messes up?" He mumbled to himself.
Then he considered the impulsive temperament of his precious granddaughter. She might not even inform him and carry out their earlier plan. This possibility made him abruptly stand up from his chair.
If it were so, and he couldn’t provide assistance to Yuju, wouldn’t Ya Molian would be at an advantage for nothing?
Imagine if Ya Molian discards Yuju, could they still blame Ya Molian without any proof? He must check it out - there’s always a chance...
With these thoughts, he quickly headed out.
