26 Bao Zhang 4 . (1/2)

”How is it that you ... know about the world of the gods?

Eh?

Bai Zhang was stunned by the sudden and unexpected question from the librarian Honoka, he had not considered that she asked him that.

Or rather, she caught him unprepared with that question.

What should I answer?

Should I tell him he was a god from the world of the gods?

Fu * k! The best thing is to lie to her inventing something!

The wit began to turn inside Bao Zhang's mind, trying to invent an excuse, and so it occurred to him.

Unable to tell him that he was an ancient god who died and resurfaced, he could only ...

”I heard it…”

”What ?!” Librarian Honoka was surprised, and then sharpened her eyes as she stared at Bao Zhang, ”Where did you hear it? We're talking about the world of the gods, something that only appears in some historical books that are not open to the public ”

”I heard him from a mysterious old man wearing a hat and a long tunic” Bao Zhang lied.

Librarian Honoka sharpened her eyes even more. It was clear that she did not believe in Bao Zhang's lie.

”Can I know where you met this mysterious old man?” Librarian Honoka asked as she fixed her sharp eyes on Bao Zhang's face, trying to detect any sign that he was lying.

But, how could a young girl discover Bao Zhang, a god of thousands of years?

”One day, as I was walking towards my house in the internal sect, I met an old man who collected water from the spring to wash his hands and face, the old man caught my attention, so I talked a little with him. He turned around and told me that if I ever reached the world of the gods, I could look for it. ”Bao Zhang related the story, as if immersed in his memories, remembering the mysterious encounter he had with the old stranger. .

Librarian Honoka nodded in understanding, although she still had slight doubts, could not find any trace in Bao Zhang to be revealed as a liar. So, the only thing he could do is believe him.

Bao Zhang looks out the window and sees that it is already getting dark, so he says goodbye to the librarian Honoka, picks up the books he had grabbed to read and heads towards the exit with the intention of going home.

After seeing Bao Zhang leave. Librarian Honoka is left in deep thought about what I hear from Bao Zhang about the mysterious elder.
