"Miss Bai, where should we begin tidying up?"
Bai Xue pointed to the bookshelf next to her and said, "Let's start here."
"Remember, never flip through books randomly. Some classic texts are forbidden."
Lin Xiaoxi asked curiously, "A restriction? How do we remove it?"
Bai Xue explained, "It's very simple. You just need to put the scattered books back in their places."
"As for those with restrictions, I will handle them personally."
After speaking, she took out two jade pendants and handed them to Ye Ming and Lin Xiaoxi:
"These are your identification documents. Don't lose them."
The two accepted the jade pendant and thanked him respectfully.
Bai Xue gave a few more instructions and then left.
Only after she had walked away did Ye Ming breathe a sigh of relief and whisper:
"I didn't expect the library to be so heavily guarded."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Yes. But this actually proves that the clues to the 'Wheel of Fortune' may very well be here."
Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said, "We need to hurry. We should organize the information while searching for clues."
And so, the two began working in the library.
While carefully organizing the ancient texts, they secretly searched for records about the "Wheel of Fortune".
As time went by, the two gradually became familiar with the environment of the library.
That day, Ye Ming was organizing a row of ancient books when he suddenly discovered a strange book.
It was a completely black book with no writing on it.
But Ye Ming felt a strange attraction to it.
Just as he was about to reach for it, he suddenly heard Bai Xue's voice behind him:
"Stop! Don't touch that book!"
Ye Ming was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
Bai Xue walked over quickly, looking warily at the black book, and said:
"This book is heavily protected. Touching it rashly could be life-threatening."
Ye Ming quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Bai Xue shook her head and said, "Never mind, it was an unintentional mistake on your part."
"But remember this in the future: if you see any strange books like this, be sure to ask me first."
Ye Ming nodded in agreement.
After Bai Xue left, he immediately sent a telepathic message to Lin Xiaoxi:
"Little Creek, I found a strange book."
"Perhaps it has something to do with the 'Wheel of Fortune.' Let's investigate tonight."
Lin Xiaoxi replied, "Okay, I understand. Be careful."
That night, it was dark and windy.
Ye Ming and Lin Xiaoxi quietly sneaked into the library.
They cautiously approached the bookshelf where the black book was located.
Ye Ming said in a low voice, "It's this one."
Lin Xiaoxi examined the book carefully, then frowned and said:
"That's really strange. Did you sense anything?"
Ye Ming nodded and said, "I feel a strange attraction to it."
"It's like it's calling me."
Lin Xiaoxi said warily, "Be careful, it might be a trap."
Ye Ming took a deep breath and said, "We can't worry about that now. We have to take the risk."
As he spoke, he reached out to touch the book.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the book,
Suddenly a golden light flashed, and Ye Ming felt a sharp pain.
"what!"
He couldn't help but cry out.
Lin Xiaoxi exclaimed in alarm, "Ye Ming! How are you?"
Ye Ming shook his numb hand and said with a wry smile:
"It's alright. It seems this restriction is indeed very strong."
Just then, they heard footsteps in the distance.
"Oh no! Someone's coming!"
Lin Xiaoxi said nervously.
Ye Ming quickly pulled her behind a bookshelf.
The footsteps are getting closer.
The two held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
A figure slowly walked over; it was Bai Xue.
She approached the black book, gently stroked its spine, and murmured to herself:
"Still not working? It seems only that person can open you."
Ye Ming and Lin Xiaoxi looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt.
Bai Xue looked around again, and after confirming that no one was around, she turned and left.
The two breathed a sigh of relief once the footsteps faded into the distance.
Lin Xiaoxi asked in a low voice, "Ye Ming, did you hear that?"
"Could the 'person' Bai Xue mentioned be referring to you?"
Ye Ming pondered and said, "Very likely. It seems this book is indeed extraordinary."
Lin Xiaoxi asked worriedly, "What should we do next?"
Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said, "We need to find a way to get close to Bai Xue."
"Let's see if we can get some information out of her."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Good idea. But we have to be careful."
After discussing their options, the two quietly left the library.
In the days that followed, Ye Ming and Lin Xiaoxi began to intentionally or unintentionally get closer to Bai Xue.
They proactively helped Bai Xue with her work and often asked her for advice.
Although Bai Xue was proud, she gradually developed a liking for the two diligent and studious newcomers.
That day, Bai Xue was organizing some rare and precious books.
Ye Ming walked over and asked, pretending to be casual:
"Miss Bai, I've heard that our library contains some very powerful secret manuals."
"Do not know is not true?"
Bai Xue glanced at him and said, "Of course it's true."
"But those are all top secret, don't ask about them."
Ye Ming pretended to be very interested and said, "Then could you tell me about it?"
"I'm very curious about these things."
Bai Xue hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist Ye Ming's persistent pleading and said:
"Alright. I'll tell you about one of them."
She looked around and lowered her voice, saying:
"At the deepest part of the library, there is a secret manual called the Book of Destiny."
"It is said that it was left behind by an ancient powerful being, containing the secrets to controlling destiny."
Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to remain calm and asked:
"Really? That must be amazing!"
Bai Xue nodded and said, "Of course. But that book has a very strong restriction."
"It is said that only those chosen by fate can open it."
Ye Ming nodded thoughtfully, then asked calmly:
Has anyone tried opening it?
Bai Xue shook her head and said, "Of course not. That's taboo; who would dare to try it?"
At this point, she glanced at Ye Ming warily:
"Why are you asking so many questions? Don't have any ulterior motives."
Ye Ming quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I was just asking out of curiosity."
Bai Xue was relieved and continued organizing the books.
Ye Ming made an excuse to leave and immediately went to report the situation to Lin Xiaoxi.
"Little Creek, I've made a major discovery!"
Ye Ming said excitedly, "That black book is very likely the 'Book of Destiny'!"

Lin Xiaoxi was also very excited and said, "Really? Does that mean we've found a clue to the 'Wheel of Fortune'?"
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Very likely. But we need to confirm it again."
Just then, Ye Ming's communication talisman suddenly lit up.
[Wang Lei (One Piece World): Everyone! Something's wrong! There's another anomaly on my end!]
[Chen Keke (Demon Slayer world): Me too! Another crack has appeared in the sky!]
[Xu Bufan (Snow World): Damn it! It seems the power of chaos is acting up again!]
Ye Ming and Lin Xiaoxi exchanged a glance and both saw the anxiety in each other's eyes.
[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Everyone, don't panic! Xiao Xi and I have found an important clue. We are currently in the ancient Shu Mountain's library. There is a book here called "The Book of Destiny," which may very well be the key. Great! You must find a way as soon as possible!]
[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Yeah! The situation here is getting worse.]
[Lin Xiaoxi (Cultivation World): Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely find a solution as soon as possible.]
After calming the others down, Ye Ming said to Lin Xiaoxi:
"It seems we need to speed things up."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded and said, "That's right. But we have to be careful not to alert them."
