This time, when Zhou Yingxue appeared again, she did not deliberately say anything to Ren Xiaosu. She would change into a different dress every day, even in winter. Then she would put on exquisite makeup and sit quietly in a corner of the library, flipping through a book.
She would not even look at anyone who passed by, even if it was Ren Xiaosu.
In the afternoon, when there were slightly more people in the library, some youths would even try to strike up a conversation with her, but she would gently reject them.
As time went on, it was as though she was really there to read. She was like a quiet beauty, and she became a unique sight in the library.
Ren Xiaosu thought it would not matter if she really wanted to get along with him peacefully. After all, he was not doing anything illegal in this library, so he was not afraid of being monitored.
Although he had gone a little overboard by hiring An Yuqian to tutor Wang Yuchi and the others, the problem was that there was nothing wrong with the content of the tutor. At most, he just told them to be more careful when discussing how to design the armor.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu decided to just ignore Zhou Yingxue.
However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized An Yuqian was always distracted by peeking at Zhou Yingxue. Especially today, when Zhou Yingxue took off her coat after entering the library, revealing a slim-fitting qipao underneath.
The skirt of the qipao was slit all the way to her waist. When Zhou Yingxue sat there quietly, An Yuqian's eyes went wide!
Ren Xiaosu felt helpless. He wondered if Zhou Yingxue was a supernatural being. Why was she not afraid of the cold?
At this moment, Wang Yuchi asked, "Teacher An, this question …"
An Yuqian came back to his senses. "Ah, this question is really straightforward … No, I meant that this question is really long, but I didn't mean …"
Ren Xiaosu looked calmly at An Yuqian. "Can't you pay more attention in class? We paid you."
An Yuqian was also a little embarrassed. "Don't you think she looks very classy sitting there quietly?"
Ren Xiaosu sighed and went to the bookshelf to find three books before walking over to Zhou Yingxue. An Yuqian lamented to himself that Ren Xiaosu had the guts to strike up a conversation without saying a word.
Zhou Yingxue didn't seem to see Ren Xiaosu. When Ren Xiaosu walked to her side, she raised her head and said, "Hello, what's the matter?"
Ren Xiaosu placed Spare My King in front of Zhou Yingxue and said, "I think this set of books is quite interesting. Take a look."
With that, Ren Xiaosu went back to his seat and continued studying. Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue flipped open the book in front of her to see what kind of books Ren Xiaosu liked.
In the end, during class in the afternoon, Zhou Yingxue was laughing so hard in a corner that she couldn't even straighten her back. Her face was numb from all the laughter, and the image of a quiet and virtuous lady that she had painstakingly built up was completely destroyed.
Zhou Yingxue did not do anything the entire afternoon. All she did was sit there and laugh like a lunatic.
Ren Xiaosu looked at An Yuqian. "Do you still have any class?"
An Yuqian took a deep breath. "No."
"Then focus on teaching," Ren Xiaosu said.
But to Ren Xiaosu's surprise, Zhou Yingxue started pestering him. Every day, she would ask him what kind of books he liked. From time to time, she would even purposely come over to talk to him about her opinions on the books he was reading.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that she was indeed someone who specialized in getting close to people. She was a person who would climb up the ladder as long as he gave her some advice.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not reject her so obviously. Every day, he would introduce some very boring books to Zhou Yingxue. In the end, Ren Xiaosu realized that she would bite the bullet and finish reading them. Then, she would come over to talk to him about her insights.
Actually, if the conditions were right, Ren Xiaosu could totally introduce Zhou Yingxue to a very advanced math book. That way, Zhou Yingxue would probably not be able to understand it even if she bit the bullet.
But that was not the case. Ren Xiaosu's math skills might not even be as good as Zhou Yingxue's.
This was because his level of knowledge was limiting his methods.
An Yuqian went up to Ren Xiaosu and suddenly said, "Bro, I can tell that this girl named Zhou Yingxue likes you!"
Ren Xiaosu chuckled. Likes her? She was a fucking spy!
Even if he had not seen Zhou Yingxue among the people who were tailing him, Ren Xiaosu could still sense that something was wrong with her based on his intuition in the wilderness. Someone who was unaccountably solicitous was definitely up to no good.
Zhou Yingxue thought that Ren Xiaosu would be easily tempted by beauty at his age. How could a 17 or 18-year-old boy like him have ever seen the world? Scammers in the game of scam liked boys of this age the most.
Zhou Yingxue was not wrong. If it were Wang Yuchi and the others, they might have fallen for it. But Ren Xiaosu was different.
At night, Ren Xiaosu bade farewell to Wang Yuchi and the others. He told them to go home first while he continued to learn martial arts from Lu Yuan.
But when he came out of the library, he saw Zhou Yingxue standing at the door.
Ren Xiaosu pretended not to see her and walked out. Zhou Yingxue called out to him, "Are you free? There's something I'm not sure if I can tell you. "
"I'm not free," Ren Xiaosu said.
Suddenly, the voice from the palace said, "Quest: Help a woman seeking help."
This quest came so suddenly that Ren Xiaosu was caught off guard. "Now that I'm free again, tell me, how can I help you?"
Zhou Yingxue was stunned for a few seconds, but she quickly composed herself and said with a smile, "It's my birthday today, but I don't have any relatives left in the stronghold. Can you accompany me tonight?"
Ren Xiaosu was at a loss. "How do you want me to accompany you?"
"Let's go to my place and play some games," Zhou Yingxue said with a chuckle.
"What games?" Ren Xiaosu was already thinking of giving up on this quest.
"A game that can't be played by one person." Zhou Yingxue blinked as she looked at Ren Xiaosu.
What kind of game could not be played by one person?!
Ren Xiaosu pondered it and said, "Are you talking about rope skipping? I'm really good at rope skipping! "
Zhou Yingxue was speechless.
She said, "It's not like two people can play rope skipping."
But at this moment, An Yuqian came out of the library. Seeing that he was about to lock the door, Ren Xiaosu said, "Look, everyone's here!"
Zhou Yingxue smiled awkwardly and said, "Forget it, I don't want to play anymore."
Ren Xiaosu took a look at the quest in the palace. "No, I have to play!"
Zhou Yingxue was speechless.
What kind of fucking contestants were these?!
Half an hour later, the voice from the palace said, "Quest complete. Awarded Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. The Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll that had suddenly appeared almost made him ecstatic. After all, it was too rare to come by!
Perhaps a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll would allow him to gain a new ability.
Even if he did not learn any superpowers, he could still learn the other party's master-level skills.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "What if I get someone else's master-level skill but don't have the corresponding advanced skill?"
"Void," the palace said coldly.
"That's not fair, right?" Ren Xiaosu grumbled.
"A Basic and Perfect Skill Duplication Scrolls can be used at the same time. You can learn a complete master-level skill without the corresponding skill," the palace explained.
