Princess Yala is my...

Yala crossed her arms too, her demeanor defensive. "Talk? About what exactly?"

"Dear Princess," said the old man with his head lowered in respect, "I see that you picked up not a single tome or book, but rest assured, you will have plenty of time later, just hear this young man out... with an open heart."

Yala was shocked at how the esteemed figure showed some respect to a human that she hardly could detect the cultivation level of. She frowned looking at Lyon, the identity of the young man seemed to elude her imagination. 

"I need, no, we need your cooperation, princess," said Lyon. 

"Cooperation?" Yala was taken aback before she revealed a smirk. "In case you have forgotten already, you stole my owl tome and used it. Luckily, the librarian saw reason and compensated me properly. Tell me, you— I don't even know your name— would you be cooperating with a thief that just stole from you, in less than a day may I add?"
