Chapter 451 Reunion with Gu Youlan

Heaven.

The headquarters of Tianxia Academy.

In the early morning, the air is full of vigor and vitality, and purple air comes from the east.

The elegant academy has begun to gain popularity. Students in white gowns are coming and going, some going to the training grounds, and some going to the martial arts hall to hone their skills.

Some people, holding thick books, walked towards the deepest part of the academy.

There, stands the most iconic building in heaven, the Heaven Library.

A young man with a slender figure and handsome face was walking along.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from behind.

"Senior Fang Ming!"

Fang Ming turned his head and saw a pretty girl running towards him in small steps.

The girl's face was filled with joy, but when she came to Fang Ming, she didn't know what to say, and uttered stutteringly, "What a coincidence."

"I'm surprised to meet you here."

Fang Ming looked around. This was an intersection of many roads in the academy. There was no "coincidence" that the two met here.

However, looking at the girl's embarrassed expression, he still understood what she was thinking.

"Yeah, that's quite a coincidence."

Fang Ming smiled and then asked, "Is Miss Bai Cen going to the library too?"

Bai Cen was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah, yes, I'm going to the library too!"

"If you don't mind, let's go together."

Fang Ming politely invited Bai Cen.

After a while, the two walked slowly together.

In fact, Fang Ming has encountered such situations many times.

As a well-known genius in Tianxia Academy, many girls have expressed their feelings to him implicitly or explicitly.

But Fang Ming only focused on cultivation and had no thoughts about love.

However, he did not treat them directly with indifference. Instead, he used other ways to resolve the situation to avoid embarrassment or hurting others' face.

On the way, the two chatted casually.

Suddenly, the book in Fang Ming's arms caught Bai Cen's attention.

It was a thick book, emitting strong array fluctuations, and it looked like it was not simple.

However, when Bai Cen saw the light green bookmark on the book, his face suddenly froze.

"Senior Fang Ming...are you going to look for Miss Gu?"

Her voice gradually became quieter.

Fang Ming glanced at the book in his arms, then smiled and said, "Yes, I borrowed this book from her, so I have to return it."

Bai Cen uttered an "oh" and tightened his arms.

"I heard that Miss Gu is very beautiful and has a good personality. Many seniors like to borrow books from her."

She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

"Yes."

Fang Ming said: "Being in front of her will give people a very comfortable feeling. If you have the chance, I think you should go there too."

Bai Cen forced a smile but said nothing more.

There was silence between the two of them.

Not long after, Bai Cen said that he had forgotten something in the room and turned away.

Looking at Bai Cen trotting away with her head down, Fang Ming shook his head. It seemed that he still hurt her heart.

"Lao Fang!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, which scared Fang Ming.

Then, a young man in a black shirt appeared out of nowhere and put his arm on Fang Ming's shoulder.

"Mr. Wang, could you please stop getting so startled?"

Fang Ming shook his head. The person who came was none other than his best friend, another genius in the academy, Wang Sheng.

"Look at your courage, just like a woman."

Wang Sheng chuckled, then looked at the disappearing Bai Cen, then looked at Fang Ming, curled his lips and said, "Old Fang, are you using Miss Gu's name to scare my junior schoolmate again?"

He has seen similar things many times.

“I just don’t want to be too direct.”

"Ms. Gu won't blame me."

Fang Ming shrugged and walked towards the library with Wang Sheng.

"Miss Gu is too lazy to care about your trivial matters."

Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "However, I think if you don't like it, you should be more direct and decisively refuse it."

"Always not saying it clearly and making things ambiguous, do you know what this behavior is called?"

"Scumbag!"

Fang Ming looked helpless. He didn't want to do that, but that was just his personality. He couldn't just refuse others directly.

He is already learning to change, but it may take a long time.

"Stop talking about that."

Fang Ming skipped the topic and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ms. Gu is not an ordinary person. If she doesn't have a deep understanding of the content of the book, she won't even take a second look at it."

Wang Sheng smiled complacently, produced a piece of writing in his hand, and said, "Of course."

"I'm not bragging to you. After seeing my understanding, maybe Miss Gu will open her mouth for the first time and praise me!"

Looking at Wang Sheng's boastful look, Fang Ming shook his head.

Miss Gu, the silent administrator.

She is a legend in Tianxia Academy.

She always stayed on the upper floor of the library, responsible for checking out and returning books, and no one had ever heard her speak a word.

Most people's impression of her is that she is taciturn, gentle and has a stunning appearance.

But only some extremely outstanding and talented people know that Miss Gu is definitely a powerful person among the powerful.

Fang Ming also found out about this by chance.

At that time, he studied an ancient book of martial arts day and night, which took him a whole year, and he finally made some progress.

However, because he was too excited, when he returned the ancient books, he forgot what he had researched inside the books.

When he remembered, he quickly borrowed the ancient book back.

But what Fang Ming didn't expect was that in less than a day, someone made new comments on his ideas. Each of those comments opened his eyes, as if a new world had opened up for him.

After many inquiries, Fang Ming finally found out that the person who made the annotation was Miss Gu.

From then on, he became a frequent visitor to the upper floors of the library, and his power was increasing rapidly.

Outsiders who didn't know the truth just regarded him as another vulgar man who coveted Miss Gu's beauty.

"Just be prepared."

Fang Ming said.

A moment later, they arrived at the upper level of the library.

There are quite a few people inside, all of them are geniuses in the academy, but only a few of them know Miss Gu's true strength.

Miss Gu still sat there quietly, in charge of borrowing and returning books.

The line in front was quite long. Fang Ming and Wang Sheng lined up obediently and finally handed over the books they had prepared.

Then, they walked to the side. According to Fang Ming's experience, it would only take half an hour at most to know the result.

"Don't be nervous, it will be quick."

Fang Ming couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wang Sheng, who was full of energy just now but now looked nervous.

Wang Sheng snorted.

"I'm excited, how can I be nervous?"

"See, that guy is the one who is really nervous."

Wang Sheng said this stubbornly, and then pointed at a young man sitting in the corner.

Fang Ming also looked over. The young man was not wearing the uniform of the academy. He was sitting in the corner, silently watching Miss Gu who was working.

His posture and expression really looked like he was struggling with something.

Fang Ming smiled: "New face, it must be the first time here."

"Let's go and take a look."

This boy looks timid. He probably wants to talk to Miss Gu, but he doesn't dare to do it.

"Brother, do you mind if we sit here?"

Fang Ming walked forward and asked politely.

The young man raised his head, seemingly not expecting someone to chat with him, then nodded and said, "I don't mind."

"Please take a seat."

Fang Ming sat down, then smiled and said, "Brother, you look a little unfamiliar. Is this your first time on the upper floor of the library?"

The young man nodded.

"Yeah, it's my first time here."

Although he was answering Fang Ming, his eyes never left Miss Gu.

Seeing this, Fang Ming shook his head and said, "Actually, you can go up and confess your feelings."

The young man was stunned.

"ah?"

Fang Ming smiled and said, "You like Miss Gu, right?"

The young man thought about it, then nodded: "I think so."

"If you like it, why don't you speak out bravely?"

Fang Ming said: "Speak out. No matter how slim the chance is, there is always a possibility."

"But if you keep it in your heart, you won't have any chance at all."

The young man was stunned, as if he didn't understand why Fang Ming told him this.

After a moment, he sighed softly and said, "I just don't know how to stand in front of her."

Fang Ming shook his head: "You think too complicated."

"If Miss Gu really likes you, would she care what method you use?"

"Let's keep things simple. Love should be simple and pure. What do you think?"

The young man was silent for a long time, and then he let out a long breath.

"You are right."

"Now that I'm here, I shouldn't worry about anything anymore."

As he spoke, the young man stood up, bowed to Fang Ming, then turned and walked towards Miss Gu.

Looking at the young man's back, Wang Sheng came over and whispered, "Old Fang, you are trying to trick him into falling into a trap, right?"

Fang Ming shook his head: "I want him to face reality. Since he can come to the upper level, he must be extraordinary. He should concentrate on studying."

Wang Sheng curled his lips in disdain: "I think you just want to get rid of all the hidden rivals in love."

Fang Ming looked at the pretty figure and sighed.

"I?"

"Not worthy."

As he was talking, the young man had already arrived in front of Miss Gu.

He faced Miss Gu, his eyes still full of confusion, then he took a breath, slowly raised his hand, and said, "Hi."

Miss Gu raised her head, and their eyes met in the air.

In an instant, an invisible wave of extremely powerful laws swept across the entire upper floor of the library, and the actions of all the people around them stopped in an instant.

It's like time has stopped.

Only Miss Gu and the young man remained the same.

"I'm back."

Looking at the familiar pair of eyes in front of him, Ye Suifeng's heart suddenly calmed down and he spoke slowly.

Gu Youlan looked dazed, and a crystal light flashed across her eyes.

But she quickly lowered her head and kept flipping through the book in her hands. The rustling sound of the pages continued to echo in the quiet environment.

"you..."

"When did you come back?"

Gu Youlan asked in a low voice.

Ye Suifeng touched his nose and said, "About ten years ago."

The sound of turning pages paused.

"You didn't come to me right away..."

Gu Youlan's voice became even more subtle, with a hint of hoarseness.

Ye Suifeng was suddenly embarrassed. When he first woke up, he had lost all his cultivation and was unable to ascend to heaven.

However, when he became the Immortal Emperor and had the ability to come to the heaven, he did not rush up. Instead, he improved his cultivation to the peak of the master before choosing to come here.

There are many reasons for this, such as the matter of the Dead Zone, the matter of Ye Huang, and the matter of face.

But if we look at it from an emotional perspective, all the reasons are just excuses.

Scumbags love to use similar excuses.

Is Ye Suifeng a scumbag?

Of course not!

He just... doesn't know how to deal with feelings.

Ye Suifeng's mind began to become confused again.

Looking at Gu Youlan, who looked aggrieved and about to cry, he said something he didn't even know how to say.

"Well, don't get me wrong."

"I'm not a scumbag."

"I'm... I haven't had much of a relationship."

"So, uh...uh..."

A series of incomprehensible words left both of them stunned.

Gu Youlan raised her head and looked at Ye Suifeng, who was standing there at a loss with a knotted face. Suddenly, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At the same time, the library on the upper floor had resumed normal operation, and the sound of books turning pages could be heard.

Looking at Gu Youlan lying on the table, covering her mouth and laughing, Ye Suifeng sighed helplessly.

"alright."

“This time, I’m really back.”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand.

There was a smile on Gu Youlan's face and she placed her slender hand in Ye Suifeng's palm.

"Let me take you to visit the library."

Gu Youlan said.

Then, she stood up, gently took Ye Suifeng's arm, and the two of them walked into the library.

This sudden scene made Fang Ming and Wang Sheng, who were far away, dumbfounded.

"How did he do that?"

Fang Ming was stunned, his mind was in a mess.

"possible..."

"That guy is better at telling jokes..."

Wang Sheng murmured.

They watched as Ye Suifeng and Gu Youlan gradually disappeared among the stacked bookshelves.
