Doesn't the Myriad Seals Sword Technique require one to sever all emotions and love after learning it?
What does this mean?
What did I mean when I told her last time that I was cutting off all emotional ties?
Jia Xitong, who was eavesdropping, was dumbfounded.
"By the way, don't tell Xitong that the Myriad Seals Sword Technique is an ordinary cultivation method."
"Why?"
The sound of two people talking in hushed tones could still be heard from inside the room.
Yes, why?!
Jia Xitong pressed her entire body against him, eavesdropping menacingly. If he couldn't give her a clear answer, she would...
She went and fell in love with someone else!
"Because the little bucket has turned into a person, she is worried that men and women should not touch each other."
Shang Yanting glanced at the tightly closed door and, contrary to his usual behavior, explained the reason, "The reason I used this excuse is simply because I was worried that she would become estranged from me."
Oh dear, how could we be so distant!
Even if you don't use this as an excuse, she's already confessed her feelings!
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The room gave the signal that Huo Rui was about to leave. Jia Xitong tiptoed back to the room where she was changing clothes, then pushed open the door and pretended to come out, just as she bumped into Huo Rui who was about to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Huo!"
She called out to Huo Rui and gave him a thumbs up.
Huo Rui mimicked her movements, not understanding what it meant.
"Well done! May good people have a peaceful and prosperous life!"
Just thinking about what the two of them had just said, Jia Xitong's mouth almost stretched to the back of her ears in a wide grin.
"……Um."
Huo Rui couldn't help but suppress a laugh as he looked at her. "Farewell, Fellow Daoist Tong."
If he didn't leave soon, he was afraid he would burst out laughing on the spot; these two were just too funny.
"Host, dear!"
Jia Xitong took small, quick steps inside, her mind filled with pure joy.
Shang Yanting hadn't severed all ties with her, which meant she still had a chance. Sitting in front of her dressing table, the question she was now pondering was whether or not to confess her feelings.
But what if I confess my feelings and get rejected?
Jia Xitong stared blankly, so engrossed in thought that she didn't hear Shang Yanting speaking to her from behind.
"I'm asking you, what are you planning to do today?"
Shang Yanting gently poked her with his finger.
"ah?"
Jia Xitong suddenly snapped back to reality, "I'm planning to go to the library today!"
"Why did you decide to go to the library?"
Shang Yanting was taken aback when she heard this; she knew perfectly well how much Shang Yanting disliked reading.
"Yeah."
Jia Xitong knows how much she dislikes reading, but she still wants to try her best to salvage her image. "I feel that I really know too little, and I still need to read more books to enrich myself."
This is very unusual.
Shang Yanting placed the last pearl flower in her hair. "Want me to stay with you?"
"Take me there."
Jia Xitong showed no intention of not bothering others, saying, "Come pick me up at noon."
"good."
Seeing her excitement, Shang Yanting asked casually, "What good news is happening today?"
Hehehe.
Jia Xitong glanced at him.
She was eavesdropping, but she wouldn't say anything.
##
Shang Yanting took her to the largest library in Dingtian Academy.
It contains a large number of martial arts cultivation techniques and mental cultivation methods. In addition, you can find talismans, formations, weapon crafting, alchemy, and all sorts of strange and unusual stories.
However, these were not the books Jia Xitong was looking for.
She spent the whole morning searching through the library, finding three unusual books: "The Thirty-Six Strategies of Love," "The Guide to Finding Love," and "How to Conquer a Handsome Monk."
[A nun needs a partner.]
If you wish to have a relationship with a male monk, then talking to him is the most basic step. If you don't even dare to do that, it seems love will elude you.
Therefore, when you find a male monk you like, you must quietly approach him and try to strike up a conversation.
Male cultivators do not mind if a woman takes the initiative.
[Intentionally mispronounce his name during the conversation; this mistake might make him realize you like him.]
...
These are all good books!
The summary is very insightful, and the teaching is very detailed.
Jia Xitong leaned against the bookshelf, engrossed in reading this great man's bible of courtship, so much so that she didn't notice anyone approaching.
"Young friend, Fu Lu."
The shouts behind her startled her, and she quickly hid the three books. "Oh, it's Senior Bai Yu."
Jia Xitong bowed to him, "You've come to the library too?"
Are you here to edit a book?
"The library of Dingtian Academy has a vast collection of the world's finest books, and I always take a look whenever I visit."
"You are already so knowledgeable, yet you still love learning so much."
Jia Xitong couldn't help but say.
Bai Yu Zhenjun's erudition is no exaggeration; he truly understands everything discussed. His language is approachable yet rich in classical allusions. His high level of cultivation combined with his vast knowledge gives him the air of a sage.
Sometimes when she spoke to him, she couldn't help but put her hands together in prayer.
"Learning has no end; all the knowledge in the world can actually be read in just a few hundred years."
Bai Yu Zhenjun smiled as he looked at her with her hands clasped together. "Moreover, there is a sequence to learning the Dao, and everyone has their own area of expertise. Even in the field of talismans alone, you know far more than I do."
That's the only one.
Jia Xitong knows her own abilities very well.
"By the way, what book were you reading just now, young friend? I noticed you seemed quite engrossed in it. May we discuss it?"
What are we discussing?
How to conquer a handsome male cultivator.
Jia Xitong reflexively hid the three books behind her back.
Secretly learning how to pursue someone from books, you absolutely cannot be discovered. And if you're caught in front of a respected elder, you'll easily be seen as neglecting your duties and ruining your image.
"This, this..."
"If it doesn't work, then forget it."
Fortunately, the other party wasn't the type to pry into everything.
Bai Yu Zhenjun smiled slightly; he had a pair of clear eyes that didn't look like those of an elderly person.
"What's wrong?"
He noticed that Jia Xitong was staring at him, so he asked.
"The senior is highly respected and knowledgeable, but I sometimes feel that he is more like a man in his twenties or thirties than a man in his sixties or seventies."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu Zhenjun paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Then he smiled and shook his head, "Young friend, I am not sixty or seventy years old, nor twenty or thirty. If we calculate by age, I am already three hundred and twenty-three years old."
"ah--!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized. Apart from Shang Yanting, all the deans of Dingtian Academy were quite old. Not only the deans, but anyone with high cultivation also experienced an increase in lifespan, making it particularly deceptive.
"Senior Bai Yu's appearance is still at a disadvantage."
Aunt Haifeng must be older than him, and she still looks like a middle-aged woman with a charming appearance.
"Appearance is just a physical shell; there is no such thing as good or bad, or being at a disadvantage."
Bai Yu Zhenjun was truly magnanimous. "Whether young or old, it is all a manifestation of one's true self. Whatever the heart desires, it will always be there."
