65 Managed Rather Leniently (2/2)
No matter where, the things lurking beneath the shadows were always dark. Hua Xia University was no exception.
Outside the door, a group of students stood in a corner. Once they saw Su Boyu walking out, they quickly crowded around him.
”Young Master Su, that brat is too arrogant. How dare he eat with Miss Shen! He must be tired of living, should I teach him a lesson?” A youth with a gloomy expression smirked as he asked. Originally Young Master Su announced on the university's forum: whoever dared get close to Miss Shen Jing would be his enemy, and he would use all means to eliminate them.
At the time this incident was buzzing, but very few people dared step over the minefield. Even the other young masters in the Top Ten Young Masters would give Su Boyu some face.
But now, there was actually someone who dared to openly dine with Miss Shen Jing in her private room in the cafeteria. He was truly tired of living.
”Not only did he dare to eat with Shen Jing, he even dared to mock me in my face”, Su Boyu smiled coldly, teasingly looking at the youth, ”Or, do you want to help me settle him?”
”Eh, that…”, the youth was stunned for a moment. His facial expression went pale. Who was this person that dared to mock Su Boyu in his face? There was practically no one in the school who did not know of Su Boyu's name. If they knew and still dared to do so, the person was either a fool or ruthless.
A look of disdain flashed past Su Boyu's eyes. He walked away expressionlessly. These guys that flocked to power were like moths not worthy to even be his lackeys.
After the incident with Su Boyu, Mo Wen and Shen Jing's meal became awkward.
It was especially awkward for Shen Jing. What meant to be just a simple meal was suddenly made as though the two of them had committed an unspeakable crime against humanity. Especially since an unrelated third party had come over to meddle in business that was not his. Such insolence.
In the end, the two continued eating for a bit under the awkward atmosphere and then parted ways.
The next few days, Mo Wen began a peaceful university life; sometimes even dropping in for a class or two. However, most of the time he played truant and hid away in the library to read medical books.
As for his Freak Dormitory, strangely enough the people there didn't seem to be aware that they were in university. Mo Wen didn't see them at all.
Only Ren Liusha spent the most amount of time in the dormitory. But most of the time, he hid in his room and kept his bundles of venomous creatures company.
Through Ren Liusha's introduction, he knew that the man which he and Shen Jing met last time was the infamous Northern Devil. His killing spirit was too strong, so everyone in the dormitory called him the Butcher.
Of the so called Eastern Heretic, Western Poisoner, Southern Ghost, Northern Devil, and Central Transvestite, he had met three of them. The Eastern Heretic Dongfang Yi, the Western Poisoner Ren Liusha, and the Northern Devil Hu Qiongqi.
But he still hadn't the chance to meet the scariest Central Transvestite and Southern Ghost.
The library of Hua Xia University had a total of thirty floors. One could even call it a complex. The book collection inside the library was the largest in Hua Xia. Be it ancient or modern, the book collection there held countless items: an archive of the rich heritage and civilization of Hua Xia.
However, the library complex was only open up to the tenth floor for normal students. The archives above were student restricted areas.
Mo Wen stood in a corner of the sixth floor of the library complex. He had a thick tome, the Compendium of Materia Medica, in his hand which he was quietly reading. Although the Compendium of Materia Medica recorded mostly common herbs and medical plants, it was the largest record of medical plants in Chinese Medicine.
He wanted to refine a batch of Blood, Vitality, and Qi transmuting powder. Besides the main ingredient of the Blood-Heart grass, it needed many more supplementary ingredients. There were a few medical plant names that Mo Wen was not sure of, so he had trouble finding them. So, for the past few days, he had holed up in the library while sifting through mountains of Chinese medical books, hoping to stumble upon the medical plants he needed. With just the Blood-Heart grass and without the supplementary ingredients, he could not refine the Blood, Vitality, and Qi transmuting powder.
A slender silhouette appeared in Mo Wen's vision, retrieved a medical book from a nearby shelf, and passed by Mo Wen with not a shred of animosity.
Mo Wen subconsciously gave her a glance, but then his gaze fixed on her. His entire body froze.
