Duan Qingxi: ...
"I'll only explain these questions once, and you're not allowed to ask again!"
"good!"
"Helian Sheng is a very important person to me. I came here just to find him. As for why I am crying, it's because I miss him."
Yunting opened his mouth wide, seeming to find it incredible.
When he wanted to continue asking, Duan Qingxi stopped and turned to look at him, warning: "Don't ask any more questions!"
Yunting felt wronged, so he decided not to ask.
When the two arrived at the bookstore, a waiter came forward to greet them warmly.
"My two young masters, what books would you like to buy?"
Duan Qingxi asked directly, "If I'm going to take the exams for the four major colleges, what kind of books should I buy?"
Hearing this, the guy's expression froze, and then he looked at the two of them carefully.
Duan Qingxi felt that this reaction was not right, so he explained, "They are just ordinary books. Any books related to cultivation are welcome. Please help me introduce them."
But the waiter had a strange expression on his face, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Then... may I ask where you live, young master?"
Duan Qingxi frowned, "We're staying at the inn, so... can't we buy books and read if we're not from Lingdu?"
The waiter quickly said, "That's not the case. It's just that... this book on cultivation is extremely valuable. One copy is worth a fortune. Are you two young masters sure you want it?"
The implication is, do you have money?
Before Duan Qingxi could say anything, Yun Ting got furious.
"A book worth a thousand gold?! It's just a book, why is it so expensive?!"
The waiter was also easy to talk to. Seeing their behavior, he mistakenly thought they were broke, but he didn't kick them out. Instead, he said, "I'm afraid the two young masters are from outside and have never had a formal apprenticeship before. Getting into the four major academies is no easy task. The written test is just a small matter, but the competition on the stage is the real deal!"
"I don't think the two young masters come from a legitimate cultivation family. I'm afraid they can't compare to them. Why waste all this money?"
Duan Qingxi saw that he had a good attitude and didn't get angry at his words. She just asked, "But what does this have to do with the price of books?"
The waiter laughed and said, "Things are valuable because they are rare. Besides, most cultivators are wealthy, so no matter how expensive this book is, there will be people who want it. Besides... this is a book on cultivation, so no matter how expensive it is, no one will complain."
Duan Qingxi saw that he didn't seem to be lying. It seemed that the price was the same not only here but also in other places.
She asked, "Could you please show me these books?"
Seeing that they still insisted on buying it after he had said so much, the guy just sighed and said nothing more, but took them to see it.
"Here, they're all here. There are about three or four hundred volumes, all related to cultivation."
Duan Qingxi asked, "So...will the exam cover all the above content?"
The clerk said, "Who knows? I haven't taken the test. Anyway, our bookstore has the most complete selection of books. Even the library doesn't have the complete selection here!"
Duan Qingxi was shocked. "Holy crap... there's a library here?!"
The clerk thought Duan Qingxi's reaction was a bit strange and said speechlessly, "Of course there are. There are about six libraries in the entire Lingdu. There is one in each of the four major colleges, one in Tai College, and one in the west of the city. That is the only free library. But even though it is free, it is useless for you to go there."
Yun Ting asked, "Why?"
