Chapter 263 - Concealment Formations (1/2)

[ Inscription Club ]

”Long Wang, you're here. I was starting to think that you weren't coming in today,” Xue Li said when she saw Xiao Fang walk in.

”Sorry I'm late. I got held up in class again,” Xiao Fang said apologetically as he scratched the back of his neck.

”It's alright. Like I said yesterday. Club meetings are optional, you can come and go whenever you like.”

Suddenly, a few girls started to recognize Xiao Fang then they started to approach him.

”Hey, you're Long Wang, right? Did you really win Supreme Elder Song's Phoenix Jade Hairpin?” The girls asked.

Xiao Fang knew that the rumors were quickly spreading, but just how quickly was it spreading? He knew he couldn't keep hiding the fact that he had it, so he calmly nodded.

”Mn, that's me.”

”So cool, can I see it?” The girls said as they got even closer to him.

'What a headache,' Xiao Fang thought.

Xue Li suddenly lashed out at them the moment she saw one of them touching him.

”Who do you think you are touching? If you want to remain members of this Club, you will not give Big Brother Long Wang a hard time while he's here,” Xue Li scolded them.

”We only wish to study with him. Can't we do that?” One girl claimed.

”Ah, that...” Xue Li paused as she looked back at Xiao Fang.

She knew it wasn't her place to decide who he studied with, so she waited for his reply.

”I appreciate the offer, but I already have a study partner. I've been keeping her waiting for long enough, so if you'll excuse me,” Xiao Fang said before walking off.

Worried that the girls would still bother him after she left, she gave Xiao Fang and Bai Fan access to her grandmother's private room on the first floor. Since her mother rarely came to the Inscription Club, she didn't think there would be anything to worry about.

Xue Li assured them that it was okay to use her mother's private study space, so after she left, Xiao Fang lifted his blindfolds up to his forehead as he finally opened his eyes. Bai Fan's expression made a subtle changed when she saw his violet eyes. However, she was able to suppress her urges with relative ease since he wasn't looking at her, and his eyes weren't glowing the way they usually did when he wanted to Dual Cultivate with someone.

Xiao Fang walked around, looking at all the available books on the shelves. There were just as many books in this room as there were in the entire first floor. However, all the books here were study material for how to make certain Formations, not Inscriptions.

”Who knew Formation could have so many applications,” Xiao Fang said his thoughts as he browsed around.

Although they were all too advanced for him, he still found them extremely interesting to look at. When he eventually found a book he really liked, he took it off the shelf then started to read it.
