The manager didn't take the ID, only glancing at it coldly before his attitude softened. "I'm sorry, our library Pavilion is not open to the public today. You can come another day!"
Not open?
Lin Yi blinked-was there a time when the martial Union's library was closed?
Lin Yi looked around and didn't see any signs of it being closed. There were some icons that were open to the public.
"Why not? Didn't it say that you can enter the library today?"
Lin Yi pointed at the icon not far away, but the librarian wasn't even looking at it-he was the one who'd set up everything here, so of course he knew what was there.
"Why do you talk so much? If I tell you it's not open today, it's not open! Do you have the final say or do I have the final say? Your Alliance Academy also has a library, so go back and make do with it first. If you really can't do it, come back another day!"
The administrator waved his hand impatiently and chased Lin Yi away."Hurry up and leave, don't be a hindrance here!"
"Ha ... You think you can shut it down just because you say so? Who gave you the authority to do so?"
Lin Yi didn't look too happy-he'd rushed over to read, but they wouldn't even let him in.
The most important thing was that there was no legitimate reason.
No matter who it was, they would not be happy!
"This is the martial union branch's territory, and I have the final say in the library Pavilion. If I say I won't open it, then I won 't! What nonsense are you spouting! Do you really think you're so great just because you're a teacher from an Alliance Academy?"
The librarian laughed coldly, her impatience turning into displeasure. She was so close to kicking Lin Yi out.
"Are you looking down on our Alliance Academy? Are you representing the martial Alliance to look down on the Alliance Academy? If you don't have a reasonable explanation, the Alliance Academy might directly seek an explanation from your branch Hall Master!"
Lin Yi didn't back down.
Now that he was representing the teachers of the Alliance Academy, he had to fight for the benefits he deserved.
If a mere library Pavilion's administrator could act so arrogantly, it was likely that in the future, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would look down on the teachers of their academy.
The librarian was a little scared at Lin Yi's stubbornness.
He was indeed in the wrong. If this had escalated to a conflict between the martial Alliance's branch and the Alliance Academy, he would have been able to pack up and scram back to his hometown!
"You're so troublesome! Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth!"
The administrator didn't dare to blow up the matter, so he could only tell the truth,""It's not that I want to make things difficult for you, and it's not that I don't want to let your Academy's instructors in. It's just that there are high-ranking members of our martial Alliance's branch inside who are looking through important information, and they can't be disturbed! If you want to go in, you'll have to wait for that Lord to come out!"
"Ha ... What kind of person is so noble that he can occupy the entire library Pavilion alone, and even others can't enter? Isn't this too overbearing?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh coldly,"such a big scene, could it be your branch head?" Even your Hall Master wouldn't do such a thing as to occupy an entire library Pavilion by himself, right?"
The administrator was at a loss for words. After a while, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted,""It's not our Hall Master, it's the newly appointed alchemy Association's Vice-President, Ouyang Changhong! How was it? Do you dare to offend him? Let me tell you, anyone who offends vice guild leader Ouyang will never have a good ending!"
"His elder brother is the Vice Hall Master of the martial Alliance's branch. At the same time, he's also the president of the alchemy Association. He's not someone a small teacher like you can afford to offend!"
"Hehe ... Just the Vice President of the alchemy Association can occupy the library Pavilion by himself? Does he really think he can do whatever he wants in the martial union branch?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard the name.
He thought it was some Big Shot, but it turned out to be Ouyang Changhong, that idiot!
To occupy the entire library Pavilion just to read a book, calling him an idiot was an insult to idiots!
Who the F * ck is going to be forbidden from entering the library just because they're reading? Can you read all those books by yourself?
"Wow, you're quite arrogant. What Vice President? if you were the Vice President, you'd be able to enjoy the same treatment!"
The administrator chuckled in disdain.
However, the moment the words left his mouth, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He was completely dumbfounded!
Lin Yi took out a golden one sword badge and put it on his chest.
Just now, he was a teacher of the Alliance Academy, so he couldn't enter the library!
Since that was the case, he would just use his identity as a branch of the martial Alliance!
"The combat Association's honorary Vice President, Sima Yi, can I now enjoy the treatment you speak of?"
Lin Yi looked at the administrator with a half-smile,"Or perhaps, you think that I'm not qualified enough as the honorary Vice President, so you're still trying to stop me?"
"Gah! How could that be! This lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I didn't know that Vice President Sima had graced us with your presence. I've been disrespectful, please forgive me, Vice President Sima!"
The administrator was instantly stunned and immediately changed his expression. He nodded and bowed with a smile on his face."Vice President Sima, you should have said so earlier. We're all on the same side. Please forgive us for this misunderstanding. Vice President Sima, please come in!"
"Wait, you should drive the people inside! The treatment you're talking about isn't just me entering the library, but me enjoying the entire library Pavilion alone!"
Of course, Lin Yi wasn't being serious-he was just teasing her.
"Uh ..."
But the administrator took it seriously, and a layer of fine sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He continued to smile apologetically,""Haha, haha, Vice President Sima must be joking ... Actually, the library Pavilion is so big. The two of you might not even meet each other inside, so there's no need to ... Haha, haha ..."
He really didn't know what to do other than to smile awkwardly.
One of them was the alchemy Association's Vice President, while the other was the combat Association's honorary Vice President. Both sides were big shots, and he could not afford to offend either one!
Don't say silly things like seeking refuge with one party. A mere library Pavilion administrator, no matter which party he sought refuge with, he would not be able to stop the other party!
A little brat like him was not qualified to participate in a fight between Immortals. A little bit of the aftermath was enough to kill him!
Lin Yi didn't say anything, just looking at him quietly.
The administrator wiped his cold sweat and lowered his head to admit his mistake."Vice President Sima, this lowly one was wrong. This lowly one has sinned. Please punish me, Vice President!"
He didn't have the guts to chase Ouyang Changhong away-he could only apologize sincerely and hope that Lin Yi would forgive him.
In fact, Lin Yi only needed to knock some sense into a small fry like him-it'd be beneath his status if he were to get serious.
"Let's forget about today. Can I go in now?"
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Vice President Sima! I'll bring the Vice President in!"
The caretaker was overjoyed-he quickly bowed and led Lin Yi in, but he grumbled to himself after a few steps. Why did he have to ask Lin Yi to lead the way?
