”Just relax,” Zi Yuan said while she placed the tablecloth on Li Yundong's shoulders once again”I told you before that I practically raised HonglingWho do you think is the one who cut her hair all these years?”
”You should be honored,” Hongling chimed in from the couch”Elder Sister Zi Yuan is very skilled”
Li Yundong visibly relaxed”OhGreatI thought you were just trying to experiment with my hair”
Zi Yuan chuckled”With your hair looking like a chicken's nest, I bet nothing I do could hed out loud”FineFineDo your thing, thenJust don't ruin ive ive me a bald patch”
Zi Yuan stifled a sot to work
The first tenher whether his hair was still fineBut then he eventually grew so quiet that Zi Yuan was starting to wonder if he had fallen asleep
Zi Yuan leaned forward slightly to check his face
He was still awake, but staring off into space
”What's on your h his sideburns
”Nothing…”
RightThat totally sounded like nothing right there
”You're thinking about her,” Zi Yuan saidShe hadn't phrased that as a questionShe had stated that as a fact
For the next few seconds, the only audible sound were the snipping of scissors
Then, Li Yundong sighed”YeahI aht tremble in his voice
”Do you knohy your hair had grown so long in just twothe conversation away froht not be able to do anything to alleviate the lovesickness he was feeling, but she could at least attempt to distract hiht,” Li Yundong said”I've gone for longer without a haircut, butGeezLook at all this hairIt even got past my shoulders!”
SNIP! SNIP! SNIP!
”And do you knohy?”
There was a moment of silence
”No,” he said”Why?”
”Oh, cohed”You've already read the Canon of the Yellow Thearch, haven't you? The answer is all there”
Li Yundong went silent in thought againAto do with orous over the course of”
Zi Yuan nodded”Which helps boost cellular processes”
”RightThat's why rew faster”
”I've said this beforeThe art of Cultivation involveshow to cast spellsIt also involves co process of acquiring knowledge, you see? You have to keep asking whyOnly then can all the knowledge you've acquired be applied”
”GeeYou make Cultivation sound so… I don't know, scientific?” Li Yundong chuckled”Months ago, I would've scoffed at the idea that ic and Cultivation are in any way related to scienceBut now I think I knohat you mean”
”HereLet me ask you a questionHow do you think computers work?” Zi Yuan paused for a second”A silicon chip placed on a ether to perforain to let her words sink in”How do you think that's possible?”
Li Yundong grew silent
”These things work because they obey certain laws and principles,” Zi Yuan explained”Cultivation, too, has its own principlesThese principles have to be fully understood before the art of Cultivation itself can be mastered” Another pause”Coned thehtI understand now”
Zi Yuan sighed”You've already read the Canon of the Yellow Thearch, yet you're still clueless when I asked you basic questions about Cultivation”
”I' said”I know I should've done better”
”You need to get into the habit of constantly asking questionsLearn moreResearch moreOtherwise, the truth will elude you forever”
”Okay” Li Yundong nodded, then paused for a few seconds like he was thinking about so”I'll head down to Xin Hua bookstore tomorrow”
Zi Yuan's hands stilledShe lowered the scissors and stared at Li Yundong”Why?”
Li Yundong gave her a puzzled look”Uht?”
Zi Yuan chuckled”Or you can just try the library in your university”
”The Tiannan University library?” Li Yundong said in a skeptical tone”Is that a joke?”
Zi Yuan sht be a”—Zi Yuan's eyes darted to Li Yundong's face—”third-rate university, as you so often put it, but its library is rather completeYou can find a lot of books there”
Li Yundong stared at her blankly, then nodded”That's actually not a bad ideaIt could even save hter, like he'd just thought of soin in two days… Have you… Have you heard froain”NoI haven't”
Truth be told, Zi Yuan was starting to feel a bit concerned about this as wellZhou Qin had gone coht He Shao diedShe are that Zhou Qin had been called into interrogation soo, but she hadn't made any further inquiries into theover Li Yundong, as per Senior Wushuang's instructions
”nobody tried to detainsaid”That made no sense to meI was there at the scene of He Shao's deathThe police would've at least tried to bring ht, you asked Zhou Qin to handle the policeI think she did itBut now, I'otten into trouble because of that incident”
Zi Yuan lowered the scissors in her hand and studied Li Yundong's faceThis man was about to face his own demise in the for about someone else
You're just like him…
”I'm sorry, who?”
