Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Jinbangtiming is one of the best bookstores in Kyoto. It has two and a half floors, half of which is used as a loft and is the resting place for the owner.

When Shopkeeper Lu saw Lu Zhanxing, he bowed respectfully. All those in charge knew that the master had been replaced, so they were naturally extremely respectful to Lu Zhanxing.

There are many books on the shelves on the first floor of the bookstore, all of which are ordinary books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The second floor is filled with rare or unique books that can only be borrowed or copied, so the prices are naturally not cheap.

The other half of the attic became Lu Zhanxing's private room.

When they arrived at the attic, they asked Bai Jing to guard outside the door. Yu Feng and Lin Yun were already waiting there, and they both bowed respectfully.

Lu Zhanxing also saw with his own eyes that the attic was filled with more than a dozen large boxes.

She found a seat and sat down, waiting for Yu Feng and Lin Yun to introduce themselves.

Yu Feng opened several boxes and revealed the account books inside: "Master, these are the account books for profits and expenses. A total of two million taels of silver notes have been deposited in Huitong Bank. If you need to use them, you can withdraw them with the token."

Lin Yun opened the other boxes, and they were all filled with rare treasures of great value.

She traveled far and wide with the caravan and naturally accumulated many treasures, which she has now moved all here.

Lu Zhanxing looked at the glittering treasure with his eyes shining. His space was already priceless, and he didn't expect to have made a profit over the years. He was really rich.

Add to that the gold, silver and treasures in the space, and you won’t have to worry for several lifetimes.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work. You can pick any treasure in this box as your reward!" He still had a lot of space, so there was no need to be too stingy.

The two of them were delighted and hurried to thank him. You know, even if you pick any one of the treasures here, it would be worth a thousand taels.

They have all signed death contracts, so it is impossible for them to betray their masters.

Seeing that they had chosen the things, Lu Zhanxing encouraged them again, asked them to keep up the good work, and then sent them away.

Lu Zhanxing was the only one left in the room and began to put all her things into the space. As for the silver bills stored in Huitong Money House, she had no intention of taking them out. One should not put all eggs in one basket. What if something unexpected happens?

Lu Zhanxing hid in the space, touching this treasure, looking at that treasure, and he felt like he was wandering in a sea of ​​happiness that he could never spend all.

After collecting his things, Lu Zhanxing prepared to leave, but he felt it would be a shame to leave empty-handed, so he went to the second floor and found a few books of secret drama to pretend to be there. After all, he was a playboy, so he naturally did not come to the bookstore by chance.

But I can't let others think I'm a fake playboy, so it's better to be cautious.

Fortunately, the bookshelves on the second floor are clearly categorized, and the secret play pictures come with introductions. They are more exquisite than those on the first floor, and are also the only ones that can be purchased with cash.

Lu Zhanxing found it exciting after just one look, and lamented that the ancients had many tricks and postures. He would have to wait until his elder brother won in the later stage before he could truly experience it.

After picking out a few books and preparing to go downstairs, I unexpectedly met an acquaintance.

This man had a handsome face, elegant demeanor, and a scholarly air. It was Mu Qingli.

Lu Zhanxing didn't expect to meet him.

Mu Qingli was also very surprised, and she couldn't help but become suspicious. Shouldn't a playboy like Lu Zhanxing go to a place like a painted boat?

Why come to the bookstore?

Now that they had met, Lu Zhanxing couldn't just pretend she didn't see it. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Isn't this Mr. Mu, the friend of the Fourth Prince?"

Mu Qingli nodded: "I have met Mr. Lu, I think the rumors are wrong, Mr. Lu is also a studious person."

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing remembered the books he was holding and quickly hid them behind him, pretending to be calm and smiling: "I just came to take a look, um... I'll leave first."

Mu Qingli noticed Lu Zhanxing's dodging movement and thought it was some important book, or he came here to get some news or something?

Otherwise, why hide it?

"The books that Second Young Master Lu likes must be extraordinary. I wonder if Second Young Master Lu can recommend one or two?"

Lu Zhanxing avoided her gaze and said awkwardly, "This... this is not good... there is one on the second floor, why don't you go and look for it yourself?"

The less she said, the more Mu Qingli wanted to know: "Is it some important book that Mr. Lu is not willing to tell you about?"

"Not really... Well, it's indeed not very convenient. Well, Mr. Mu, please do as you please."

There are so many people downstairs. Even if she wants to be open, she would be too embarrassed to say it directly!

She started walking away, and Bai Jing followed behind her.

Mu Qingli looked at her hurried back with a frown. She only had a few books, but he refused to tell her the titles. She guessed that Lu Zhanxing must be hiding some secret.

With no one paying attention, he suddenly stomped his foot using his internal energy.

"boom!"

The stairs suddenly collapsed.

"what!"

Lu Zhanxing screamed and fell down, with the book in his hand flying out. Bai Jing's expression tightened, and he grabbed the young master by the collar and used his lightness skills to land safely.

Two scholars who were closer to the stairs were hit by wood chips, but the other scholars dodged in time, so fortunately there were no major casualties.

Mu Qingli, who also landed on the ground, caught a flying book, quietly opened it, read a few pages, and then suddenly closed it.

Mu Qingli: "..."

I couldn't help but feel a hint of uneasiness flash across my face.

No wonder Lu Zhanxing has been hiding it all the time, it turns out to be a secret play picture, he is indeed a playboy.

"Master, are you okay?"

Shopkeeper Lu was almost frightened to death. How could the stairs collapse out of nowhere?

If anything happens to the young master, he will be held responsible!

Lu Zhanxing stood up from Bai Jing, still feeling frightened, and then he was angry: "How could the stairs collapse? Aren't there regular inspections? This is my first time in a bookstore, and I've caused such trouble. Do you think I'm unwelcome?"

"Master, please calm down. I have been checking all along. I just replaced the wooden board last month. The bookstore has been established for a hundred years and there has never been an accident. I didn't expect it to collapse today. Please calm down, Master. I will definitely check it thoroughly and give you an explanation..."

Shopkeeper Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking extremely terrified, thinking that the carpenter must have cut corners.

Lu Zhanxing snorted coldly: "If you don't explain before tomorrow, I will never let you off easily."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. Before Shopkeeper Lu could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Lu Zhanxing coming back, hurriedly picking up the books on the ground and running away.

But she forgot the book in Mu Qingli's hand. Mu Qingli wanted to call her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Shopkeeper Lu quickly ordered the two waiters of the bookstore to deal with the accident, to compensate those who should be compensated, to apologize those who should apologize...

"Sir, are you okay?"

Shopkeeper Lu personally visited Mu Qingli who fell down the stairs.

Mu Qingli shook her head: "I'm fine!"

This matter was caused by him, and he still feels a little guilty.

Shopkeeper Lu noticed the book in his hand, his expression changed, and his eyes revealed a meaning that he was this kind of person.

"I'm glad you're alright, young master. As an apology, I'll give you this book. I hope you'll forgive me."

This book is very popular. The cover is inlaid with gold edges and is much more advanced than the secret play pictures on the first floor. No wonder the elegant young man in front of me would take it.

"no……"
