Yuan Shui reluctantly recounted what happened that day, pouting, "What can I say? I saw you faint and couldn't just ignore it. You wouldn't let me reveal my identity. You already have a child, so what's wrong with me pretending to be your child for a bit!"
Yuan Shui spoke confidently, and Xu Yuehuai didn't find anything wrong with it. Yuan Shui concealed the fact that he thought Fu Ziyi liked her.
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai remained silent for a long time and her eyes were red, a sign that she was about to explode in anger, Baili Xiuwen quickly got up from his seat and was trying to figure out where he should use his space to teleport them if they were about to fight.
But no matter where it is, they can't fight inside the library. He was entrusted by his master to take good care of the library.
"So, you really threw him away?" Fu Ziyi asked in a cold voice.
When Xu Yuehuai came to her senses, she saw Fu Ziyi with a violent expression. She replied, "No."
“His identity is special, and I can’t bring him out to see you while he’s in this space.” After saying those two words, Xu Yuehuai seemed to feel that those two dry words couldn’t convey the truth of the matter, so she added this sentence.
Upon hearing this, Fu Ziyi's aura gradually returned to normal, and the way he looked at Xu Yuehuai suggested that he believed the matter.
He felt that Xu Yuehuai had no reason to lie to him about such a matter, and he had no intention of verifying it.
"So you've been ignoring me because of him?" Xu Yuehuai didn't understand Fu Ziyi's thought process. If Yuanshui really was her child, and Fu Ziyi cared about her so much, he shouldn't be avoiding her.
Seeing his brother about to lose control of the situation, Baili Xiuwen stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Ahem, he's just been too busy lately. He wasn't avoiding you, but thankfully he's finished with his work now, so we should be able to see each other more often in the future."
Xu Yuehuai looked at Baili Xiuwen, who was speaking, and nodded, though it was unclear whether she believed him or not.
Fu Ziyi remained silent, his eyes lowered, making it impossible to discern the emotions hidden within them.
Baili Xiuwen had thought a lot in a short time, all about how he should answer Xu Yuehuai's questions. However, he did not expect that after Xu Yuehuai nodded, the woman left and went back to her previous spot to read.
Baili Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fu Ziyi beside him. The man did not raise his eyes, but lowered his head, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head. "What exactly happened? What child or not?"
Fu Ziyi remained silent. He didn't want to talk about these things behind people's backs, especially since that person was someone he liked. Fu Ziyi had already resigned himself to his fate. Even if he wanted to deny that Xu Yuehuai wasn't the person he liked, his heart wouldn't lie.
His heart told him that he did indeed like Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai sat in the corner reading a book, unaware of the abnormality on Fu Ziyi's side. After coming up from the third floor, she had not refined her spells again, recalling what Dean Fu Jia had said before, and found the corresponding content in the book.
To allow spiritual energy to remain on the talisman paper, the talisman artist needs to possess a strong pool of spiritual energy to support it. Otherwise, if the spiritual energy is insufficient when drawing the talisman, the talisman artist will be in danger.
Xu Yuehuai read carefully. Compared to her previous quick understanding, she didn't want to miss any information in the book, so she read it word by word.
After reading it, Xu Yuehuai did not find anything unusual; it was exactly the same as what she had seen on the third floor.
Xu Yuehua frowned, her eyes filled with incomprehension. She took out several talismans and a fine brush and began to try again. Everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her, and she was completely immersed in this different state.
Xu Yuehuai concentrated, and when the pen in her hand touched the talisman paper, it seemed to have its own thoughts, moving across the paper like a dragon. In no time, a talisman paper was drawn, but this time, the result was the same.
Xu Yuehuai was a little frustrated. Logically speaking, the spiritual energy in her spiritual energy pool should be enough to support her in drawing an explosion talisman, but after drawing for a long time, it was no different from before.
After finding the book she wanted to read, Shangguan Qi strolled over to Xu Yuehuai's side, glanced at what she had drawn, and said with curiosity, "Senior Sister, I didn't expect you could draw this kind of thing! I feel like you can do everything, how can you be so amazing?"
Shangguan Xi's eyes were filled with admiration for Xu Yuehuai, showing none of his previous attempts to seduce her.
Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly, "I just happened to have learned a little bit, it's nothing special."
Xu Yuehuai wasn't being modest; that's exactly what she thought.
Shangguan Xi looked at the talisman and the book next to it with curiosity. "Do you want to practice this?"
Shangguan Qi pointed to a template drawn in the book, a version of one where spiritual energy had been successfully attached. Xu Yuehuai glanced at it briefly and nodded, "Yes, but it doesn't seem to have succeeded."
Xu Yuehuai looked at the failed product in her hand with disappointment, feeling an indescribable sense of stagnation in her heart.
Shangguan Xi didn't understand these things either, so it would be better to just keep quiet and remain mute than to rashly offer comfort.
"It's alright, take your time. I'll stay here with you." With that, Shangguan Xi sat down on the ground, against the wall not far from Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai didn't speak, but simply returned her attention to her own affairs. Shangguan Qi was engrossed in reading a book beside her, showing no intention of disturbing her, perfectly serving as a background character.
Xu Yuehuai tried again and again, and a pile of talismans fell to the ground. Shangguan Xi didn't notice at first, until a talisman floated down at her feet.
She followed the gaze and saw Xu Yuehuai surrounded by talismans.
Xu Yuehuai is currently using talismans provided by the sect, so she doesn't feel too bad about using them.
Shangguan Xi was stunned, and the book in her hand fell to the ground. "Senior Sister, what... are you doing?!"
Shangguan Xi casually picked up a talisman and looked at it. She could tell at a glance that it was a successful product, not a defective one.
For a moment, her gaze towards Xu Yuehuai became even more bizarre. "Senior Sister, how did you manage to refine so many talismans in such a short time!"
Xu Yuehuai looked up from the talisman at Shangguan Xi and asked, "What's wrong? Is it strange? Or is it too slow?"
Xu Yuehua frowned, looking at the talisman on the ground, pondering in her heart. Xu Yuehua hadn't drawn any talismans, and sure enough, her speed had decreased.
