"Not this one!"
Feng Teng Daoren looked annoyed, surrounded by piles of books half his height. His expression was slightly anxious as he cautiously said:
"Junior brother, I reckon the selection of sages should be starting soon. Should we retreat first and come back to search after the selection is over?"
Li Sisui, who had been drowsy and with his head down, heard what Feng Teng Daoren said, and his eyes flashed with cold light as he said, word by word:
"Feng Teng, there are some things you'd better understand. That ancient book is of utmost importance to me. As for the selection process, it's just a favor I'm doing. Don't push your luck!"
Seeing that the usually calm Li Sisui suddenly turned cold and even his words became much more distant, he suddenly realized that he might have gotten the order of things wrong. He was the only one who cared about the ranking of the Hidden Moon Sect. As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Subconsciously, he felt that the selection of saints was the most important thing!
However, he overlooked his master's prophecy, which only emphasized this person without mentioning anything specific. This was something he only thought of in a moment. Perhaps the Hidden Moon Sect could rise to prominence even without participating in the selection of saints, but if they offended this person, there would be no hope of turning things around!
"Senior, please don't be angry. I was just anxious. Please forgive me. I will calm down and search carefully!"
Li Sisui nodded slowly, a hint of anxiety flashing across his brows. He had searched for so long without finding a single clue; anyone would be unhappy in that situation. Most of the books he had collected from the library had already been reviewed by Daoist Fengteng, and it seemed that his hopes were dwindling...
Another long silence followed, and after an unknown amount of time, Daoist Fengteng let out a long breath and said in a resounding voice:
"Senior, I've looked through all these books and haven't found anything yet. Are there any more?"
"There are only a few left, so take a look..."
As he spoke, Li Sisui reached out and swept the pile of books down like beans, creating another stack half a person's height. Feng Teng Daoren's eyes gleamed with excitement. The ancient book of the broken formation that the senior was looking for should be in this pile of books. On the other hand, Li Sisui looked worried and impatient.
They had indeed spent quite a while in the library. In addition, Fairy Qingdai had said beforehand that the flow of time inside the library was different from that outside, so they didn't know how much time had passed. He had originally been somewhat interested in the selection of saints, but he never expected that these two things would collide!
Li Sisui pondered to himself. He thought that finding an ancient book should be a piece of cake. He never expected it to be so complicated. After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he could not rule out another possibility: that Feng Teng Daoren had skipped the correct book!
Of course, this was definitely not Feng Teng Daoren's subjective intention. It's just that the ancient book might not be what everyone imagined, or the description might be limited by some special restrictions. In any case, Feng Teng Daoren skipped it, and the two of them didn't know that. They were still searching blindly, which was just a waste of time.
Thinking about it this way, Li Sisui was even a little certain that Fengteng Daoren must have missed the correct ancient book. But he couldn't be blamed. Li Sisui had seen that apart from his earlier grumbling, Fengteng Daoren had been diligently searching through the ancient book. He was definitely not just trying to get by. Besides, he was even more anxious than Li Sisui now. He couldn't wait to find it so that the two of them could set off to participate in the selection of saints. Fengteng Daoren definitely had no reason to delay!
"Senior brother, wait a minute, are you sure the storage ring here can't be used?"
Feng Teng Daoren was engrossed in his search when Li Sisui suddenly interrupted him, causing him to freeze for a moment before instinctively saying:
"Of course I'm sure. I just tested my storage ring, and my divine sense couldn't detect it at all..."
"I see. If that's the case, perhaps we can do as you said and participate in the selection of saints first, and then slowly search for them!"
Feng Teng Daoist quickly waved his hand and refused outright:
"Senior, please don't take offense. I was just a little anxious just now. Please don't take it seriously. Now let's calm down and search slowly. We're sure to find it!"
"Senior brother, what I mean is, it's possible that no matter how hard we search, we won't be able to find it. We might need some special methods, of course, this is just my guess..."
"A special method? I've been here before. You can just flip through the pages. It's really not that complicated. Senior, aren't you overthinking it?"
"What I mean is, perhaps the one who tied the knot must untie it. Maybe we can wait until Leng Rushuang wakes up and have her come to us!"
“Now that Fairy Leng has seen it, it will be much easier to find her. However, we don’t know when Fairy Leng will wake up, and Qingdai won’t always be so easy to talk to. It’s questionable whether she can come in next time. It’s still not advisable to delay. Things might change if we wait. It’s best to find her now!”
Li Sisui revealed a meaningful smile, and said with great enthusiasm:
"Who said we'd come here again next time?"
Feng Teng Daoist paused for a moment, then hesitated and said:
"If we don't come here, how are we supposed to find it?"
"Hehe, senior brother, wait here for a moment, I'll be right back, and then we'll leave here to participate in the selection of saints!"
"Huh? Really? No, junior brother, where are you going?"
Looking at the beaming Li Sisui, Feng Teng Daoren couldn't help but shiver. He had a feeling that something big was about to happen. Oh well, he thought, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. With the senior here, what is there to worry about?
"Wait for me, I'm coming!"
Leaving behind such a light and airy sentence in the void, Li Sisui disappeared from Feng Teng Daoren's sight like a whirlwind. A short while later, Li Sisui rushed back, looking at the ancient books scattered on the ground. With a wave of his hand, he put them all into his storage ring!
