"How about we go to Senior Brother Shen and test the waters first?"
Yuan Ce looked at Yi Fang's increasingly dark face and felt uneasy.
The points for this task were quite high, so at the beginning a group of people just watched, wondering if the task would be difficult. However, he thought that he had Yi Fang to cooperate with, so he took the wooden sign without hesitation.
Yi Fang sighed, finally convinced by Yuan Ce.
The two of them thought about it, and headed towards the main hall. After several detours, they finally arrived in front of Shen Jinggu's yard.
"Brother Shen?"
The two men, feeling guilty like thieves, first shouted twice at the door, then looked around to see that there was no one around, and then looked at each other. They read the same message from each other's eyes: it was now the Si hour, and Senior Brother Shen usually practiced swordsmanship at the martial arts training platform at this time, so he must not be in the room.
This is the best time to take action.
"etc."
When Yuan Ce made up his mind to go in, Yi Fang on the side frowned again, tiptoed forward slightly, and sighed in his heart: It's just as I expected.
Yuan Ce did not notice Yi Fang's little action. He thought that he wanted to go back on his word again, so he retracted his leg that he had just raised.
He raised his eyes, looked intently, and after seeing the hesitation in Yi Fang's eyes, he spoke in a deliberately provocative tone: "No way, at this time, you are still backing out?"
Yuan Ce originally wanted to use this to irritate Yi Fang and remind him that it would be a waste of time if he regretted it now that things had come to this point.
But Yi Fang was not one to fall for this. Looking at Yuan Ce's confident expression, he did not tell him the reason for his sudden change of heart. Instead, he just took a step back, stretched out his hand slightly, and made a very obvious "please" gesture.
Yuan Ce froze, as if he realized that Yi Fang wouldn't buy it. His eyes moved between the door not far away and Yi Fang's body, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Why, who said not to back down just now?"
Seeing that Yuan Ce never took a step forward, Yi Fang raised his eyebrows slightly. Just as he was about to give up and pull the man away, he didn't expect Yuan Ce to fall for his provocation.
The moment Yi Fang extended his hand, Yuan Ce also raised his foot with extraordinary determination, but at the same time, he said stubbornly, "I'm not afraid. I just want to talk to Senior Brother Shen about homework. I'm not going to do anything bad..."
The next moment, Yuan Ce's foot made a dull sound as if it had kicked a stone.
The gate that seemed to allow free entry and exit slowly revealed its true form: an almost transparent barrier.
Yi Fang looked at Yuan Ce, who was hugging his feet and hopping on one foot, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter. "You really think that Senior Brother Shen's room is that easy to enter?"
Yuan Ce, remembering his own weakness, finally understood why Yi Fang suddenly changed his mind.
After just a few words, Yi Fang's expression suddenly became extremely strange, as if he had seen someone he shouldn't have seen.
A sense of foreboding arose.
"What are you doing here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yuan Ce subconsciously put his feet down, turned around extremely stiffly, and stood straight like a wooden stake.
Chen Jinggu had no intention of turning the page on this matter. He looked at the two people in the courtyard and asked again: "Don't you want to talk about it?"
He was the one who cast the barrier in the yard, so he could naturally notice the little movements of these two people.
He was a little curious about what these two people wanted to do by entering his room while he was away.
Yuan Ce was suppressed by Shen Jinggu's momentum and couldn't raise his head. Yi Fang beside him was also implicated and didn't dare to leave.
The two of them looked at each other secretly again.
"Brother Shen, we came here today to borrow some books from you."
Yuan Ce, believing that it was his mission, spoke first.
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Jinggu frowned again. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and the aura around him became a little colder. "Borrow a book? What book doesn't exist in the Sutra Library? Do you need to come to me specifically to borrow it?"
Yuan Ce is already numb.
Of course, he couldn't just take out the wooden sign and say that this was his mission.
According to Senior Brother Shen's character, I'm afraid he will find out the person behind this and publicly execute him.
Yuan Ce opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It was also at this time that Yi Fang stood up.
"I heard that Senior Brother Shen had tutored Senior Sister Ning before the New Disciple Arena. We came here today to borrow it and have no intention of offending Senior Brother Shen."
Yi Fang's tone was quite sincere, but even Yuan Ce didn't know that Senior Brother Shen was tutoring Ning Wan, yet he said it so easily.
Chen Jinggu's gaze fell on Yi Fang who was standing beside him, and his brows finally relaxed a little: "They are nothing more than some introductory exercises for foundation-building disciples. If you want them, the Sutra Library does have them."
After seeing that Chen Jinggu's tone had improved a bit, Yi Fang and Yuan Ce breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
But before Yi Fang could completely recover, Yuan Ce spoke in a reckless manner.
"Brother Shen, can you spare me one copy? Just one."
Yi Fang couldn't help but look up and stare at Yuan Ce for a moment: ...
This unfortunate kid was too honest. He hadn't reacted just now. Now, they could just go down the mountain and buy a copy and pretend it was him. He didn't believe the other party really knew what those words looked like.
Yuan Ce's eyes were now full of desire, a desire for points, but in Shen Jinggu's eyes it looked completely different.
Chen Jinggu looked at Yuan Ce's thirsty eyes and swallowed his words to ask him to go to the Sutra Library. He touched the ring with his fingertips helplessly and took out a book called "Correcting Eighty-Eight Wrong Paths in Cultivating Immortality" and handed it over.
"Give."
Yuan Ce's pupils dilated slightly, and the next second he took it with a look of surprise.
"Take fewer random tasks in the future."
Without waiting for Yun Ce to come back to his senses, Shen Jinggu left this sentence and walked into the yard.
Yuan Ce, who was holding the book, was completely stunned. Looking at Shen Jinggu's back, his mind was full of thoughts: Senior Brother Shen actually knew about it!
