On Sunday, July 13th, at dusk.
Egy Noble University.
The tree house restaurant.
..
At the foot of the back mountain, near the back gate of Egy Noble University.
There was an ancient forest, with many huge century-old trees.
Around each of these century-old giant trees.
There were metal structures, to reinforce the trunks, and protect the ancient trees.
The metal structure of each ancient tree, extended to form a surrounding platform.
The tree houses, were built on the surrounding platforms around the tree trunks.
Just like the ancient tree houses, where wizards were said to live in legends.
They were absurd and fantastical.
It was a perfect combination of technology and natural ecology, very harmonious.
..
JiiXi arrived late, lying on the back of the seventh-order beast-bot, the Mantis Queen.
The store manager of the tree house restaurant, is a fourth-order service beast-bot.
It showed JiiXi the direction of the reserved tree house.
When arriving at the bottom of the tree house.
JiiXi got down from the back of the Mantis Queen, and walked up to the tree house.
The Mantis Queen, crouched beside a huge ancient tree, under the tree house, waiting.
Wearing cyan clothes, JiiXi walked into an ancient and fantastical tree house.
..
MuJu, the branch president, of the Rune Master Branch, in Saigon City.
He had been waiting in the private room of the tree house, for a long time.
Branch President MuJu, was a Singaporean.
He had white hair but a youthful complexion.
With his white hair flying in the wind.
He was an eighth-order Rune Master.
He was dressed in a white imitation ancient costume.
Looking like an immortal with an air of a master.
..
Seeing that, JiiXi had arrived as scheduled.
Branch President MuJu, burst out laughing heartily:
"You are even more unexpected, than what I imagined.
You look so silly, stupid, and harmless.
You can be called a natural ninja, a master of disguise."
JiiXi was speechless for a moment.
And didn't know what to say.
He could only smile stupidly.
..
Suddenly, Branch President MuJu changed his expression, and cursed loudly:
"That boss of the Boya Ancient Bookstore, is just a profiteer.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
I asked him for your holographic network account information.
He actually asked me, to buy twenty of your antique books in exchange."
JiiXi was stunned for a moment.
And praised the bookstore owner again, in his heart.
..
Branch President MuJu, changed his expression again, and laughed triumphantly:
"Even if the bookstore owner hadn't made the request.
I would have bought your twenty antique books.
That fool of the bookstore owner, only has petty cleverness, and no great wisdom.
Those twenty antique books damaged by arrows, are so precious.
Seeing the damaged antique books by arrows.
I guessed right away that, it was you, this silly young man.
You counterattacked and wiped out the assassin organization, in the Xanadu.
Haha, haha!
And it was at a 50% discount.
I made a great profit this time.
When you become a top figure.
I can sell these twenty antique books, at an astronomical price.
However, things like money are trifles.
The most important thing is that.
I have discovered you, a natural Rune Master.
In the field of Rune Science.
I can boast about this for the rest of my life.
Haha, haha!"
..
Branch President MuJu, took the writing brush, prepared by the tree house restaurant from the side.
He asked JiiXi, to sign each of the antique books damaged by arrows.
Suddenly, JiiXi felt that, Branch President MuJu, was the real profiteer.
Branch President MuJu, was at least several levels higher than the boss of the Boya Ancient Bookstore.
However, Branch President MuJu, showed his emotions on his face.
Being happy or angry as he liked, without any disguise, like an old urchin.
JiiXi had a good impression of Branch President MuJu.
So he picked up the writing brush, and signed each book one by one.
..
Branch President MuJu continued to tell with a smile:
"At first, I thought you were an old man like me.
The bookstore owner told me that, you were just a seventeen-year-old boy.
I was stunned for a long time.
You surprised me so much.
However, in the field of Rune Science.
There are too many unexpected things.
Haha, haha!"
JiiXi had nothing to say.
And could only smile in a simple and honest way.
..
Branch President MuJu, asked JiiXi curiously:
"Did you grope blindly to practice Rune Science by yourself?
Or did you have some adventures.
And obtain a mysterious inheritance of Rune Science.
Or something like that?"
JiiXi felt a bit embarrassed.
"I never practice.
I don't even know, what it means to practice.
Since I was a child.
When looking at different patterns and ancient characters.
I could have different hallucinations.
Different smells of materials, and body postures, could make me have different hallucinations and dreams.
When I was bored.
I just summarized these things.
I'm born to dislike practicing these.
Because practicing, is so boring.
It's better to sleep.
I have narcolepsy.
Whenever I have nothing to do, I like to sleep.
I always feel that, practicing will distort my nature."
..
Branch President MuJu's pupils dilated suddenly.
He jumped up from his seat all at once.
He stared at JiiXi, and couldn't say a word.
