When Lin Zhan stepped out of the gate of Myriad Dao Academy’s Library Pavilion again, he immediately saw Zhuang Xinglan and Yin Xingli looking nervous outside.
In addition, there was Lin Xuanzhi standing on the left and a man in black wearing a mask opposite him.
“Your Highness, you finally came out.” Zhuang Xinglan looked like he was about to cry. “You’ve been in there for fifteen days, and you didn’t tell us in advance. You made us worry to death.”
Yin Xingli also breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I told you nothing would happen. Is His Highness someone who doesn’t know his own strength?”
The elder guarding the library pavilion smiled coolly. “Fortunately, nothing happened to the East Empress. If you still hadn’t come out or lost even half a strand of your hair, I’m afraid your subordinate here would have torn down my library pavilion.”
After listening, Lin Zhan knew that it was Xuan Wushe who couldn’t wait to find him, so he smiled. “Elder, don’t worry. If this library pavilion is torn down, I will be responsible for compensating by paying according to the price.”
Elder, “…”
Who cares about your compensation?
Yin Xingli couldn’t help but move the corners of his mouth, and he coughed softly. Others also whispered in their hearts, The East Empress is really overprotective. His subordinate coerced and bribed outside for a long time, yet when he, the master, learned about this, not only did he not scold his subordinate, but he also sounded like he was taking care of the aftermath for the subordinate as soon as he opened his mouth. It was simply…unreasonable.
Lin Zhan looked at Lin Xuanzhi and saw Lin Xuanzhi gently nod to him. He said, “East Empress must be tired. Let’s go and let East Empress have a rest before talking about other things.”
Lin Zhan wanted to say something to him when a figure slipped past him. The masked man dressed in black blocked his view and said, “Your Highness, please hurry back to rest.”
Lin Zhan looked at the mysterious man speechlessly. Knowing that Xuan Wushe’s habit of eating vinegar indiscriminately had been committed again, he could only say, “Let’s go.”
Xuan Wushe immediately went down the stairs faster than Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan, “…”
Sword Saint Tianshu, “… Hehe, people in the East Land are quite temperamental.”
Lin Zhan had an impulse to hold his forehead.
Xuan Wushe came here on horseback. As soon as Lin Zhan stepped down the steps, his waist was directly grabbed by Xuan Wushe. Holding the flying body, he got on the snow-white winged heavenly horse and patted the horse’s neck gently. Then the heavenly horse lightly spread its four hooves and flew into the air.
Sword Saint Tianshu thought, En, it’s such a good relationship that the two can ride a horse together and cuddle.
However, since the East Sovereign didn’t officially expose his identity, these elders could only act like they didn’t know. After all, the significance of the East Empress’ arrival to the sect was totally different from that of the East Sovereign’s arrival to the sect.
Myriad Dao Academy couldn’t have too many contacts with the secular world. One of the regulations was that a Sovereign of the Nine Lands couldn’t enter the sect. If the East Sovereign came and went quietly, it was all right. But if people knew that he came and went without hiding his identity, it wouldn’t be very pleasant to hear. At least for Myriad Dao Academy, they must have less confidence in rejecting other rulers, so even though these elders were upset, they could only endure this loss.
After all, the person had already entered. It wasn’t like they could drive the East Sovereign out, right?
“Why is it as long as fifteen days?” Xuan Wushe asked mildly.
Lin Zhan knew that he was angry, so he pressed the man on the couch and said with a smile, “Isn’t it to find out the origin and method to handle the Fiends? It’s not easy to travel tens of thousands of miles to come here, so we can’t go back empty handed. I copied seven ancient books. Of these seven books, two have ways to deal with the Fiends, but they still need to be studied carefully. Among the remaining five books, three record the origin and locations of the Fiends, and two record the place where gods were sealed. There’s also…”
“I don’t care about these things.” Xuan Wushe interrupted Lin Zhan and said, “It will take a long time for you to recover after you open your Eyes of Heaven and read the Divine Scripts. You are not allowed to force yourself like this in the future.”
Lin Zhan raised the corners of his mouth. “Your Majesty, the ‘a long time’ you’re referring to is only ten days to half a month. On the other hand, I’m afraid that with your current body, you will need three or five years to recover.”
Xuan Wushe said with a cold face, “I know my own body.”
Lin Zhan said, “I also know my own body.”
Xuan Wushe looked at Lin Zhan expressionlessly, and after a while said, “You like talking back to me more and more now.”
Lin Zhan also learned from him and said without expression, “Who was the one who promised me earlier that as long as I stayed, what I will say in the future is what will happen, and he will never talk back to me?”
Xuan Wushe choked and said, “If the words a man says in bed can be believed, then sows will be able to climb trees.”
Lin Zhan, “…”
Seeing that he wanted to get angry, Xuan Wushe said with a strong desire to survive, “You said this sentence yourself. Of course, I don’t agree with this sentence. At least I am not such a person.”
Lin Zhan watched Xuan Wushe for a long time, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “Come on, Your Majesty, we’re half the same. Let’s not point fingers.”
Lin Zhan sat down beside Xuan Wushe, hooked his arms around his neck, and said, “How long have you been waiting outside?”
Xuan Wushe’s attitude softened. “From the third day you went in, I waited outside.”
Lin Zhan pinched his face. “Don’t do this again next time. Afraid I’ll blow my cover?”
“What fucking words, it’s because I was worried about you.”
Lin Zhan said, “Originally, I wanted you to take advantage of this opportunity to take good care of your body, yet you became a husband-gazing stone.”
Xuan Wushe pinched Lin Zhan’s waist. “Husband?”
Lin Zhan immediately smiled in flattery and said, “Wife-gazing stone. Wife-gazing stone, alright?”
“That’s more like it,” Xuan Wushe said.
Lin Zhan was helpless against Xuan Wushe’s little spoiled acts. After thinking about it, he said, “Speaking of which, the elders present today may have seen through your identity.”
Xuan Wushe laid down on the bed with his arm around Lin Zhan and said faintly, “So what if they’ve seen through it? If they have brains, they won’t reveal my identity. Maybe they will even have to hide it for me, for fear that I will speak out.”
Lin Zhan kissed Xuan Wushe’s mouth and smiled, “Oh, you.”
Xuan Wushe turned over and held Lin Zhan down. He looked him in the eye at close range and opened his mouth. “What is the relationship between you and that Huarong Sword Immortal?”
Lin Zhan’s heart slightly jumped, and he pretended not to understand. “What’s the matter? He and I are just acquaintances.”
“Does an acquaintance go to Little Penglai alone with him?” Xuan Wushe narrowed his eyes and said, “An acquaintance who would stand outside the library pavilion for more than ten days, just like me? Baby, don’t treat my love and trust in you as connivance.”
Lin Zhan opened his mouth, originally wanting to say that this is your fucking son, but suddenly felt that Xuan Wushe’s tone was wrong. He clearly regarded him as a man climbing the wall.
Therefore, Lin Zhan kicked Xuan Wushe, who was lying on his body, and stretched out his hand close to the neckline. He said with a smile, “What does Your Majesty mean? Do you suspect that I have an affair with Huarong Sword Immortal? Your Majesty, as the ancients said, to catch thieves, you have to catch them in the act, and to catch the adulterer, you have to catch the pair of them together. You empty-mouthed and white-toothed flying vinegar will only plant green grassland on your head. Did you really think of me as that kind of person?”
Xuan Wushe, Is he angry?
He’s actually angry.
It seems that I have gone too far.
Xuan Wushe was awkward, but he still wanted to maintain his face and dignity as the East Sovereign. He coughed softly. “Is there really no affair?”
Lin Zhan sneered, turned over and lay to his side, saying, “There is, I will wait for your Majesty to die first before marrying Huarong Sword Immortal. In any case, don’t I already have an affair with him under Your Majesty’s eyes?”
As soon as Xuan Wushe heard him abandon himself, he knew that there could be no affair between them. He spurned his vinegar-eating thoughts in his heart, then went to hold Lin Zhan in his arms from behind, saying, “Angry?”
Lin Zhan said, “Too lazy to talk to you.”
Xuan Wushe decided to change the subject. “Have you found «Ghost Mirror» and «Classic of Mountains and Rivers»?”
Lin Zhan had been looking for these two books all the time. Xuan Wushe once secretly sent people to look for them in the Nine Lands, but in the end, all the clues led towards Myriad Dao Academy. If Myriad Dao Academy didn’t have these two books, it seemed that there was no other place in the Nine Lands. Now that his wish had been fulfilled, Lin Zhan’s face looked a lot better indeed.
“Found it.” Lin Zhan’s eyes flashed slightly and said, “But it’s not the original, it’s just an extension.”
Xuan Wushe said, “In the Myriad Dao Academy Library Pavilion, all the books above the fourth floor are originals. How could this be the case?”
Lin Zhan said leisurely, “If it were original, it wouldn’t be so laborious to copy it. Most likely, not even they themselves knew it was an extension.”
“The original is not in the Nine Lands at all; it had already been left in the place where I used to live. Forget it, the fact that I found the extensions is already a great achievement.” Lin Zhan turned around and lay on his back with a sigh of relief. “It feels nice to finish a great event in my heart.”
Xuan Wushe said, “Can you understand the Divine Scripts above?”
Lin Zhan shook his head. “Even you, a native of this world who grew up in a cultivation family, can’t understand it all, how can I understand it all as an outsider? It’s just that among these books, there are some powerful talisman arrays that specialize in subduing Fiends. I happen to think they are familiar, so I can draw out some to practice and use.”
Xuan Wushe looked at Lin Zhan with profound meaning. “I’m really curious about your past.”
As Lin Zhan said, he was the Sovereign of the East Land, and even he couldn’t understand the divine scripts. However, Lin Zhan could see that there were some attack methods such as talisman patterns hidden in it, which would definitely cause a great uproar if outsiders knew this. However, Lin Zhan never mentioned his past and was tight-lipped about it, so Xuan Wushe could only make secret guesses.
Lin Zhan smiled. “I’ll undoubtedly tell you one day.”
As night fell, Lin Zhan waited until Xuan Wushe left out of the door before he secretly got up and quickly slipped over to Little Penglai.
In Lin Xuanzhi’s Little Penglai, it was currently daytime.
Yan Tianhen was practicing his sword, and Lin Xuanzhi was watering spiritual plants. When he saw Lin Zhan secretly running over, he couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s the matter? You’re acting like a thief.”
