Chapter 2000: Legend (2/2)

Li Qiye took note of her dispirited self and said: “But then again, everything is possible. Maybe you’re right, they’re not necessarily made up, it’s up to you whether you want to keep on believing.”

“Then you think they can be real too?” Her mood changed for the better instantly.

“My opinion doesn’t matter here.” Li Qiye leisurely said then changed the topic: “Where are the other two students?”

The s.h.i.+ft caught her off guard for a bit before she answered: “Old Liu and Big Brother w.a.n.g… right, they’re studying right now!”

She looked diffident while stealing glances at him with her head lowered as if she was afraid that he would notice something.

Her sneaky behavior was caught by Li Qiye. He smiled and said: “Studying, huh. Okay, take me to them then.”

Her voice became even softer: “Well… I’ll, I’ll go bring them here, okay?”

“No need for that. I’m a teacher here now so the least I can do is to go see my students.” Li Qiye waved his hand.

There was nothing else she could do but to take him along.

Study Room didn’t only consist of these buildings. It encompa.s.sed the entire land of this region with books everywhere. Even the cliffs and caves had books hidden inside. Even the stones, paintings, and statues told a story.

The majority was left behind by the previous generations of students or guests. The emperors also added things as well.

The carvings and paintings were either masterpieces or just casually done at a whim. Most had nothing to do with cultivation, more about the arts.

Xinxue took Li Qiye to a stone forest with varying shapes. On these stony peaks were characters and even paintings.

The people here didn’t put a lot of effort into carving them but at the very least, they were different in scales, spanning from a few words to a grand story. Some had signatures while others didn’t.

The two traveled deeper into this formation and saw someone climbing on top of a large monolith. He draped a large piece of cloth over this hill and began copying the characters on the monolith.

This was a muscular middle-aged man with a tan complexion. He wore golden rings on his wrists, giving off quite a mighty look.

“Big Brother w.a.n.g.” Xinxue enthusiastically greeted from the distance.

“Sister Xinxue, you’re here? Wait a bit, I’m coming.” The man laughed loudly while copying the characters.

“Big Brother w.a.n.g loves to copy stuff. He had done so to many paintings in Study Room.” Xinxue quietly told Li Qiye.

Li Qiye didn’t say anything and only watched the man copying word by word.

After a while, he finally finished copying the entire thing and finally jumped down.

“Oh? Our Little Sister is finally growing up, no longer just hiding and reading in your room. You’re on a date now? What an improvement, I’m quite impressed.” He gave a thumbs-up after the two of them together.
