Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 450 Federation Library

Xiao Zhan, quick-witted and agile, pulled his wife behind him and looked at Song Chao’an with a hey-hey smile.

Song Chao’an’s raised hand suddenly paused in the air, and as he saw Xiao Zhan’s move, he immediately understood his intention.

"You kid."

Song Chao’an’s old face was somewhat embarrassed.

As an elder, he genuinely wanted to praise Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong for their victory. How did it become somewhat like I’m harboring ill intentions in your eyes?

Cough cough.

It was nothing really.

But with Xiao Zhan making a fuss, Song Chao’an became embarrassed instead, not knowing what to do with his hand in the air.

Luckily, at this time, four people walked in through the door.

Two men and two women.

It was Chu Mo, You Yun, Gu Chen, and Bei Feng.

Seeing them, Song Chao’an’s hand finally found a place to rest.

He looked at the four with an expression that did not show much joy or anger, and asked in a somewhat stern tone, "How severe are the injuries?"

Song Chao’an really wanted to scold Gu Chen, as his injuries were all self-inflicted. If he had not insisted on going it alone at the beginning and instead chose to cooperate with Xiao Zhan, he wouldn’t have been injured.

And wouldn’t have ended up with the ninth place.

The ninth.

The Longxia Federation had never faced such an embarrassing ranking.

But considering that Gu Chen’s injuries were sustained for the honor of the Federation, although Song Chao’an was displeased, it wasn’t good to say anything.

He even had to appear friendly on the surface.

But although friendly, Gu Chen could still see that Song Chao’an was dissatisfied with him.

He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan looked back at him.

Xiao Zhan didn’t give him a pleasant look. I’m the first place winner, I’ve never gotten along with you, and I don’t like you either.

So Xiao Zhan’s expression was as proud and coquettish as it could be.

Gu Chen, being looked at in this way by Xiao Zhan, immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He lost the competition, suffered injuries, and most crucially, he lost to the person he least wanted to lose to, Xiao Zhan.

But he couldn’t vent these flames of rage and could only suppress them in his heart.

"I’m fine, just minor injuries," he said sulkily.

His injuries were severe, and it took Chu Mo’s support to keep him from collapsing.

But he couldn’t lose face in front of Xiao Zhan.

So he clenched his teeth and put on a brave face.

Seeing this, Song Chao’an didn’t say much more, only instructing Chu Mo to take him down for treatment.

The atmosphere among the trio was off, and as their leader, although Song Chao’an also had his biases against Gu Chen, he couldn’t let these conflicts intensify.

He needed to ease the atmosphere among the three.

After the four had left,

Song Chao’an turned back to Xiao Zhan and said, "You’ve secured the first place in this speed competition; your feat is undeniable. Once all competitions are over, regardless of the results, I will apply for a generous reward for you."

"A reward? Couldn’t it be another pennant, could it?"

Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but shake his head ruefully.

He had been in the Special Service Bureau for two years, and his house was nearly overflowing with pennants.

"Ha-ha, what do you want, then?" Song Chao’an asked with a smile.

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and then said, "I see that Ninjutsu techniques from the Baka Federation seem quite impressive. Could I have the chance to learn some of our Federation’s ancient martial arts?"

Hearing this request, Song Chao’an first glanced at Ye Youlong and then teased, "What, as a son-in-law of the Ye Family, your wife hasn’t shared the secret techniques with you?"

It wasn’t just the Death Aura, a special attribute, that allowed the Ye Family to secure their position among the eight great families in the past.

It was more so because the Ye Family possessed national techniques passed down from ancient times.

Xiao Zhan said, "She has shared, but I feel it’s not enough; I want to study what’s treasured in the Federation Library."

Did Ye Youlong share?

No.

The reason was Xiao Zhan never asked.

He never really had the time to ask before.

Song Chao’an teased him in this manner, and of course, Xiao Zhan responded by saying it was already shared. After all, it was his own wife, and in front of others, he would unconditionally stand by her.

There’s a saying that goes very well.

Xiao Zhan has always regarded it as the truth.

That is, I’m here to back up my wife, not to reason with you.

Unconditional favoritism.

Even if at fault, I’ll stand behind my loved one.

So, what is it that makes me so devoted to you?

Of course, it’s love.

Song Chao’an nodded, not doubting him any further.

After pondering for a few seconds, he said, "Alright, if you can successfully secure the ownership of the Secret Realm, I will apply for a chance for you to consult the Federation Library."

"Just one time?"

Xiao Zhan’s expression showed some disdain.

Just one time.

Isn’t that a bit too stingy?

It’s as if we can barely manage a single entry— one per person!

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong are two people; at the very least it should be two times!

Song Chao’an laughed and shook his head, looking as if he knew Xiao Zhan would react like that, and said, "Don’t get cocky just because you’ve caught a little break, young man. The Federation Library isn’t for just anyone to enter. The Sixth Grade Realm is a threshold, and you are only Fifth Grade. Letting you in is already an exception."

"Besides, don’t get too excited yet. I’m only going to apply—it’s still up to them whether they agree or not."

"Pfft, isn’t that just dangling a carrot in front of me?" Xiao Zhan’s disdain grew even stronger.

Such a big Federation, yet so stingy.

Not a hint of grandeur.

Faced with Xiao Zhan’s attitude, Song Chao’an could only smile helplessly and shake his head.

"Kid, you really have no idea about the value of the Federation Library, huh? Well, I won’t spin you tales. I’ll personally guarantee right now that as long as you secure the ownership of the Secret Realm, I’ll allow you access to the Federation Library!"

"Really?"

Xiao Zhan’s face lit up with surprise and delight.

Of course, he knew the value of the Federation Library.

The Federation Library.

It might sound like a library, and indeed it is one.

But inside, it’s not just books that are stored.

It contains all of the Federation’s research on the power system, all the core theories, world secrets, and a whole array of things that ordinary people cannot touch.

Even a Sixth Grade Spirit Master can’t enter the library without the Federation’s permission.

Letting Xiao Zhan in was already an exception among exceptions.

Song Chao’an said, "A promise made is a debt unpaid!"

"Alright, then I’ll look forward to that day."

Xiao Zhan smiled happily.

He had just played a little trick, knowing that the Federation Library was not so easy to get into, so he deliberately said that to provoke Song Chao’an.

Unexpectedly, Song Chao’an fell for it right away.

What a surprise.

Song Chao’an continued, "Alright, you guys go down and rest as well. Nothing much tomorrow, but the day after is the power competition. However, the exact contents are not out yet; we’ll only know tomorrow afternoon."

"Anyway, rest well, no matter what."
