Chapter 33 – Apprentice (Part 1) (2/2)

He was a bit surprised and opened up his eyes. He saw that the little girl was already at his side. Her little face was only about an inch away from him. If she got even closer, her face would be touching his.

He asked helplessly “What do you want?”

Luo Luo’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Master, I want you to be my teacher.”

Chen Chang Sheng did not know what to say. He give up, closed his eyes, and began meditating.

He was truly someone who was with boring scrolls since youth. Even under a little girl’s staring at such close distance, he still could actually meditate.

The day gradually became lighter and chicken crowing among the families could be heard coming into the Tradition Academy.

Chen Chang Sheng opened his eyes and slowly woke up. He suddenly felt his right shoulder was somewhat heavy and somewhat stiff.

He looked back, got scared, and then sighed.

The little girl was hanging onto his arm was leaning her head onto his shoulder. It looked like she was having a sweet dream and it seemed like she had slept here last night.

Chen Chang Sheng lightly woke her up and said “Go home.”

“No.” Luo Luo rubbed her eyes and said aggrievedly.

Chen Chang Sheng sighed and said, “Why do you have to do this?

“Yesterday when master was absorbing starlight and purifying, I hung on to master and smelled for a really long time….I am sure, that smell is from you. The smell is really good. I feel really comfortable next to you. It was as if I ate a longevity fruit.”

Luo Luo remembered last night and her eyes became even brighter like the Tai Bai star that even morning light could not cover. Then she laughed embarrassedly and continued “I never eat a longevity fruit, but I heard it from my mom.”

Chen Chang Sheng was wordless again. Thinking that just because smell was good, she wanted to be his student? Just so she could smell him everyday?

“My xiu xing encountered a very troublesome obstacle. No one can solve it, not even the professors at the Heavenly Academy and Startaker Academy could solve it. But master you can….in order to use Wind and Rain Sword of Mountain Zhong, I can only use what you said that night. This is the evidence.”

The method of operating Qi to use the Wind and Rain Sword of Mountain Zhong was related to the secret in Chen Chang Sheng’s body. Of course, this was not the main reason he rejected this little girl. “I have no right to teach you. Also I have no time to teach you. I want to read, I want to xiu xing, and I have a lot of important things to do.”

Luo Luo saw him for a whole day and obviously knew he cared a lot about time, even to an extreme extent. She asked, “Master, why are you so anxious?”

Yes, such care to time that it even appeared somewhat anxious.

Chen Chang Sheng saw the sincere concern from the little girl’s eyes and suddenly felt a bit warm. He always appeared to be very calm because very little people could see the anxiety hiding under his calm appearance. For no reason, he suddenly wanted to talk.

“I want to participate in the Great Trial. Also….I must get first place.” He looked at her and said seriously.

That morning in the library was the most peaceful time. There were no chirping of cicadas and sparrows. Even frog was sleeping.

After a very long time, there was no sneering nor surprising questions.

Even after Tang Thirty Six heard Chen Chang Sheng’s goal, he would have some emotional change.

Yet Luo Luo’s face had no change. She looked seriously at Chen Chang Sheng and waited for his next words.

Chen Chang Sheng asked, “You..don’t you think this goal is very funny? At least…somewhat surprising?”

“Funny? Surprising? Why?”

Luo Luo who heard this question, on the contrary, felt puzzled. “Master participates in the Great Trial, of course will get first place.”

The library becomes quiet again, from far away there was faintly a twitter, yet the place became even more quiet.

Chen Chang Sheng was dazed.

Her tone made him feel that if he did not get the first place in the Great Trial, then that would be a strange thing.

He never ate the legendary longevity fruit, but he thought that even if he ate several hundreds of longevity fruits, it would not make him feel as comfortable as hearing this sentence.

“But, why does master must participate in the Great Trial?

Luo Luo did not know how much console her reaction gave Chen Chang Sheng and asked curiously, “Do you want to see the Mausoleum of the Books? I can take master there.”

Chen Chang Sheng did not notice the last part of her sentence.

He stood up, walked to the window. He looked at the royal palace not far from here and looked at the direction of the Ling Yan Pavilion.

The top three tiers of the Great Trial could go to the Mausoleum of the Books to feel the way, this was what he wanted.

Yet only the first place on the Great Trial would get the chance to meditate for a night in the Ling Yan Pavilion.

This was what he wanted the most.
