Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Rumors Get More and More Absurd

At that time, Yang Yu hadn’t realized that he had significantly set himself up for trouble.

Without his knowledge, the situation had seriously deteriorated the next day.

The cause of this development was partly due to passersby and partly due to Tico’s mother.

Firstly, the group that had passed by Tico’s villa and seen Yang Yu talking to Tico were young men and women who had finished reading and planned to go back for dinner and rest.

At that time, they just happened to pass near Tico’s house and saw the peerless genius of the Library and the man who had recently stood out and become a topic of conversation. They couldn’t help but stop.

When they saw Tico, who had just come out of the bath, warmly welcoming Yang Yu into the house, they were astonished.

Initially, they were skeptical about that gossip article in the Library Newspaper, but now, they only wanted to know how things would develop between the two.

As for Tico’s mother, Emily, although she usually appeared a little serious, she became extremely talkative whenever the topic of Tico arose, being an absolute daughter fanatic.

However, this daughter fanaticism wasn’t about trying to control her daughter’s life, but about hoping Tico could grow up to be an independent Mage.

In Emily’s eyes, Tico had always been in a gentle and elegant environment, mostly encountering people who had been meticulously selected by the Library.

Even though Tico had participated in external tasks, she had never been away for too long, having yet to experience the cruelty of the world.

In Emily’s view, Tico was like a beautiful flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand fierce storms, needing a passionate romance to grow into an independent Mage.

This adventurer named Yang Yu, although looking young, possessed profound eyes and maturity far beyond his age.

In the Recording Crystal, Emily had seen the entire process of Yang Yu leaving the martial arts examiners of the Library unable to take care of themselves.

It could have been a spur-of-the-moment idea or a premeditated plan, but either case proved Yang Yu’s exceptional abilities.

It was at that moment that Emily took a liking to Yang Yu.

Even if he had no talent in magic, unable to make his mark in that field, Emily was convinced that someone like Yang Yu would undoubtedly make waves in other industries.

Handing over her daughter to such a man, she could rest completely assured.

The worst-case scenario would be that both she and her daughter were deceived.

But Emily would absolutely not allow such a situation to occur, or else where would she put her face as a Library Elder?

Yang Yu had already admitted in front of her that he had no association with the two girls beside him. His heart and intentions were solely for Tico.

If Yang Yu dared to deceive her, she would figure out a way to make the man pay.

Thus, during the routine meeting of the Library, Emily casually discussed her daughter’s relationship with the newcomer who had recently become a topic of conversation, without any hesitation.

The few Five-star Members who came to listen to the meeting learned about a mother’s attitude towards her daughter and Yang Yu because of Emily’s openness. Emily’s behavior was essentially an indirect acknowledgment of everything said in the newspaper being true.

They shared the shocking revelation of Emily’s leniency and also spread the news, combining it with what those who saw Yang Yu entering Tico’s house had witnessed and told the public.

"I saw that man named Yang Yu go into Tico’s villa alone. Tico had just finished bathing, with water droplets still in her hair, hurried to welcome him."

"As for what was mentioned in the newspaper about the restaurant, I can testify that it’s true, I was also there at the time."

"Tico’s parents had meetings last night and stayed in the Library, which means that last night, only the two of them were alone in the villa."

"Moreover, I heard that Elder Emily went to personally ask that man named Yang Yu about the situation this morning, and Yang Yu actually admitted his involvement with Tico. This is absolutely true; Elder Emily said so herself."

"I can vouch for it, I was right there. Besides, yesterday I also saw Tico go to Yang Yu’s dormitory."

...

In this way, countless pieces of information mingled and collided, igniting sparks and stirring up rumors, spawning new ones.

From the initial "I simply saw Yang Yu enter Tico’s villa.", it gradually morphed into "Tico and Yang Yu had established a relationship early on, it’s just that we weren’t aware.", and then into "They both stepped into adulthood and grew a lot in that one night."...

It finally became "That young man named Yang Yu accidentally got Tico pregnant, it’s said to be already three months now. Elder Emily, upon learning of this, was so furious she paced up and down, in the end, she had no choice but to agree to their marriage. Yesterday, Elder Emily saw Yang Yu to discuss the wedding date and location."

Rumors, like a flood and beasts, completely swept over All Things Library and were getting more and more ridiculous.

The transition from the first rumor to the last took only a single day. If the trend continued, in another two or three days, it was estimated that the rumors would evolve into...

"They already have many children, it’s just that Tico, being a genius, covered everything up. The children were entrusted to others, which is why it’s been undiscovered this whole time.

In the end, unable to bear the loneliness, the man, to marry Tico legitimately, brought their two children and enrolled in the Library.

Unfortunately, you can’t wrap fire in paper, Elder Emily discovered that the two children with Yang Yu were her own grandchildren..."

Becoming this kind of crazy rumor which, at first glance, seemed nonsensical but could be forcefully explained.

So, on this day when the rumors raged more and more intensely, what were Yang Yu and Tico doing? Were they just watching as the rumors spiraled out of control?

Of course not!

The answer was, they were together looking for Keke Ai, the journalist who published that article. However, they received information that Keke Ai had gone to the city districts of All Things Library to gather material.

Yang Yu and Tico went to the entrance to inquire and learned that Keke Ai had applied for a leave of about two days.

When Yang Yu asked which city district Keke Ai went to, all the guards shook their heads.

Library Newspaper journalists, in order to write headlines and earn more Contribution Value, often had elusive whereabouts, and the guards couldn’t confirm where Keke Ai had gone.

Left with no alternative, Yang Yu had to return empty-handed, planning to try to find the journalist named Keke Ai again after two days. For these two days, all he could do was organize and analyze, and consider how to dispel the rumors in a way that the public would accept.

However, to outsiders, Tico moving along with Yang Yu for an entire day had virtually cemented all the rumors.
