"Un?"
Shen Bi Ru, who is also in the Compendium Pavilion, hears the sound of footsteps and flipping of books. Initially, she didn't think much of it, but gradually, she feels that something is amiss.
Reading books requires one to progress step by step. How can one be so fast?
Perplexed, she walks over.
Following which, she sees Zhang Xuan flipping through the bookshelves on the first row. From the looks of it, he isn't reading, but searching for something!
"Could this be the reason why Elder Mo didn't allow me to enter?"
After watching for a moment, seeing that the other party has no intention of stopping, Shen Bi Ru's heart skipped a beat.
She noticed that the young man seems to be different from before, so she couldn't help but speak up for him. The meaning behind her words is simple. She wants him to study properly and escape from the awkward situation he is currently in.
Never in her dreams did she expect that this fellow isn't here to study but to search for something!
There are countless teachers who visit this Compendium Pavilion every day, and there isn't anything valuable here. Flipping through the books like this is an insult to the Compendium Pavilion!
Damn it!
"Perhaps … he knew that I would come to the Compendium Pavilion today and waited here. Then, he intentionally made this noise to attract my attention … Hmph, this will only make me hate him!"
Shen Bi Ru's impression of the young man plummets in an instant.
Due to her beauty, she has experienced all kinds of fawning and attracting attention. In her view, Zhang Xuan isn't reading books, but intentionally making noise to attract her attention so that she can look at him in a different light!
Little does he know that she hates such pretentious acts!
After looking for a moment more, she is even more certain of her thoughts.
If he is really reading books, how can he read all kinds of books? Furthermore, with such a fast speed, he can't even make out the names of the books, needless to say, the contents!
"Hmph!"
With a darkened face, she walks up to Zhang Xuan, "Miss Zhang, what are you doing?"
"Reading books!"
Zhang Xuan doesn't realize that his actions have given others the label of 'pretentious'. Without lifting his head, he says casually.
"Reading books? Hmph! " Shen Bi Ru harrumphs coldly. Her jade-like face is filled with coldness, "If you think that doing so is cool and can attract my attention, then please keep your childish thoughts to yourself. I, Shen Bi Ru, won't fall for it. Besides, doing so will only make me hate you!"
"Oh! I got it! "
Zhang Xuan continued flipping through the book.
He planned to print all the books in the library to the Library of Heaven's Path today. Time was tight, so he didn't have much time to chat with others.
Besides, as far as he was concerned, the other party was just being 'self-righteous'. What did it have to do with him?
It's true that you're beautiful. It's not like I haven't seen beautiful women before. In my previous life, information technology was very advanced, and there were all kinds of beautiful women stored in my hard drive. Moreover, they were proficient in all kinds of music … You're just a cold beauty, I'm not too interested!
I don't have the time to think of ways to attract your attention!
"Since you know, then please leave the library. Don't waste your time here!" Seeing that the young man was still putting on an act, Shen Bi Ru turned around and gestured for him to leave.
Deng deng deng deng!
The young man's footsteps left.
"That's more like it …"
Seeing that he was tactful, Shen Bi Ru nodded her head in satisfaction. Just as she was about to start studying the book she wanted to read, the sound of flipping pages echoed once more.
Hualala! Whoosh!
Turning around, she saw that the young man had no intention of leaving. Instead, he was flipping through another bookshelf.
"You …"
Shen Bi Ru nearly exploded in anger.
Are you done yet?
I already said that your actions will only make me hate you. To think that you still won't stop. Is there any meaning to it?
Thinking so, she straightened her back and walked forward once more. Disgust reflected in her black eyes, "Didn't you hear what I said? The more you act like this, the more I will hate you! "
"Are you sick?"
Seeing that the other party had chased after him once more, Zhang Xuan couldn't take it anymore. He stopped and said, "You read your books and I'll read mine. If you really have nothing to do, squat by the side and draw circles. Don't bother me here!"
It's not like he hasn't seen beauties before, why are you putting on an act!
"You …"
Not expecting the young man to say such words, Shen Bi Ru felt her head spinning and she nearly died from anger.
Who is she?
The number one beauty of Hongtian Academy, talented and beautiful. Almost all of the teachers and students in the academy view her as a goddess. Before her, they would intentionally flatter her, not daring to speak loudly for fear of offending her!
You dare to say that … I'm sick?
You even want me to squat by the side and draw circles?
I'm a virtuous lady, alright? Draw circles, draw your head!
Shen Bi Ru felt a stifling sensation in her chest.
Hualala! Hualala!
Her face flushed in anger. Just as she was about to berate the other party, she realized that the young man had returned to flipping through the book after speaking, not even bothering to look at her.
"Good, good! Continue to act! See how I expose you! "
Gritting her teeth, Shen Bi Ru stomps on the ground, and the sound of her teeth grinding could be heard.
This is the first time in her life that a man has spoken to her in such a manner!
Fine, aren't you pretending to be reading now? Let's see how long you can keep up the act. When you can't keep up the act any longer, I'll expose you and embarrass you!
Thinking so, Shen Bi Ru stopped looking for Zhang Xuan. Instead, she angrily walked over to the book she was looking for. Casually pulling it out, she sat by the side of the room and began to copy it down.
She was in a good mood today and intended to study a little to supplement her knowledge. Never in her dreams did she expect to meet such a troublesome fellow.
As she copied down the book, she looked around.
The young man maintained his previous speed, flipping through the books without missing anything. As long as it was a book in the Compendium Pavilion, he would flip through it at least once.
"Hmph! Let's see how long you can keep up the act! "
After being reprimanded by Zhang Xuan, Shen Bi Ru lost her composure. She decided to fight it out with the other party and copy down slowly, waiting for the other party to give in.
However, what left her bewildered was that the young man maintained the same speed, flipping through the books one by one from the first row of the Compendium Pavilion. From noon to night, he didn't stop for a single minute!
It had already been six to seven hours, but this fellow was still maintaining the same posture. Even Shen Bi Ru found it strange.
If he was only trying to attract her attention, he should have stopped immediately after she told him clearly that she didn't like him. Why was he still continuing? For him to persist for such a long time?
"Is there something wrong with this fellow's head? Has he gone berserk from cultivating and gone mad? "
Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind.
She heard that when one's cultivation went berserk, many abnormal reactions would occur. Could it be that flipping through the books here was one of them?
Just as she was thinking that something was wrong with the young man, Zhang Xuan finally finished flipping through the last row of books and stopped.
"So much knowledge!"
After flipping through the books for six to seven hours, Zhang Xuan finally collected all of the books in Hongtian Academy's Teacher Compendium Pavilion into the Library of Heaven's Path in his head.
Through the Library of Heaven's Path, he was able to compile the flaws and strengths of the various books, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of this world's cultivation techniques, battle techniques, pills, smithing, formations …
"With Zhao Ya's Pure Yin Body, she should be able to cultivate this book. However, before that, I have to make some preparations …"
After collecting the books in the Compendium Pavilion, he finally understood how to solve the problem of Zhao Ya's constitution. He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Even the flaws in his cultivation of the first three dans were clear to him. As long as he found some time to cultivate it once more, it would be perfect.
"Gugugu!"
After he was done with everything, he felt his stomach rumbling. After working for so long, he was famished.
Shaking his head, he walked out. After taking a few steps, he saw Shen Bi Ru standing in front of him, staring at him coldly.
He had flipped through the books for six to seven hours, but this woman still hadn't left.
Unable to be bothered with this' arrogant 'fellow, Zhang Xuan walked out of the Compendium Pavilion.
"Stop right there!"
Just as he reached the door, he heard Elder Mo bellowing.
At this moment, Elder Mo's face was dark, as though a storm was brewing within him, ready to erupt at any moment.
He had tolerated this young man for far too long!
Right now, there was only a single thought in his mind. Troublemaker, troublemaker, and more troublemaker!
"Elder Mo!"
Zhang Xuan looked at him doubtfully.
"Hmph, Zhang Xuan laoshi!" Elder Mo's face darkened as he intentionally emphasized his words. With a cold expression, he said, "You didn't come to the Compendium Pavilion to study, but to cause trouble. From today onwards, the Compendium Pavilion no longer welcomes you. If you dare to come here again, I will break your legs!"
"Cause trouble? Elder Mo, what do you mean by that? How did I become a troublemaker just because I was seriously studying? "
Even though he had already duplicated the same Compendium Pavilion in his mind and there was no need for him to come here again, upon hearing those words, Zhang Xuan still felt a little unhappy.
Other people come here to read, but why am I here to cause trouble?
What kind of logic is this?
Old man, aren't you being too unreasonable!
