Chapter 570: Why?
Suddenly, Lou Qianxue recalled the conditions suggested by President Wu when he had wanted to take her as his disciple.
He offered to spare her from having to spend any points for reading the books in the library!
Only now did Lou Qianxe realize what that promise meant.
It was a pity that she couldn’t do anything about that now.
Lou Qianxue heartachingly passed her academy card over to the receptionist.
“Going upstairs needs 3000 points. You can go to the third floor whenever you want to in the future. After going upstairs, you can use your points to exchange for all the books you want to read.”
“Alright.” Lou Qianxue retrieved her academy card and headed upstairs.
In a deep area of the library...
“Huh? The aura of that young lady.”
President Dan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.
President Wu also opened his eyes with a long face. “Humph, a little girl who doesn’t know her place. I don’t care what she does.”
“You... Even if she doesn’t worship you as her Master, she’s a student of the Imperial Academy. We are the presidents of the Imperial Academy, who have the responsibility to guide any student.”
As President Dan spoke, he got up and headed out. “I want to take a look at the books she’s planning to read. It’d be good if she’s focused on alchemy.”
“Rubbish!” President Wu furiously chased after him. “She’s so talented. It’s only right that she cultivates martial arts!”
“Didn’t you want to ignore her? Why are you chasing after me?”
“This library is not yours. I can go wherever I want. What has it got to do with you?”
At the same time....
When Lou Qianxue climbed to the third floor of the library, a quaint book smell instantly greeted her nose. It made the corners of her lips curl up into a smile.
It was just that...
When she saw the points required for a book behind it on the shelf, her smile gradually stiffened.
“1500 points?”
“1800 points?”
“2700 points?”
“5000 points? So many points. How can anyone get to read any books like this?”
As Lou Qianxue stared at the bookshelf filled with books, she became speechless. “It’s no wonder that so many students are unable to accumulate the 10000 points needed to graduate. With such a library, it’d be strange if anyone can accumulate points!”
Suddenly...
“Little girl! What are you mumbling about?”
A familiar voice suddenly rang out.
“Huh? President Wu?” Lou Qianxue turned around and saw the two presidents, who had come side by side. She hurriedly bowed. “President Dan, President Wu.”
“Little fellow, are you troubled over your points?” President Dan laughed. “What books are you planning to read? If they are related to alchemy, I can spare you from paying points.”
“What’s there to read in alchemy books? If you read martial arts books, I’ll spare you from paying points as well!” President Wu glared at President Dan and hurriedly said.
“Presidents!” Lou Qianxue awkwardly smiled as she said, “I want to look at books related to weapon refinery.”
“Weapon refinery?”
President Dan and President Wu exchanged glances with each other, then looked at Lou Qianxue in astonishment. “What books did you say you want to read just now?”
“Weapon refinery—” Before Lou Qianxue could finish speaking...
“You’re up to mischief!” President Wu could not hold back his anger as he furiously shouted. “You’re so talented, but instead of cultivating martial arts, you’re wasting points to read books on weapon refinery? Do you want to learn weapon refinery?”
Lou Qianxue frowned but then relaxed. “That’s right. President Wu, I plan to learn weapon refinery.”
“You’re messing around! We didn’t say anything when you didn’t want to worship me or President Dan as your Master. Your alchemy attainment is so profound, and your talent in martial arts is also excellent. Yet, instead of choosing alchemy or martial arts, you’re wasting time to learn weapon refinery? By doing this, are you being accountable for your talent?”
President Dan also deeply frowned. “A person’s energy is limited. Hence, President Wu and I only hope that you’ll practice alchemy or martial arts. It was out of our expectations that you would choose weapon refinery instead of alchemy or martial arts? Why? Do you think that your alchemy attainment has become so profound that you don’t have to practice cultivation anymore? Or do you think that your cultivation is so high that you don’t have to learn martial arts anymore? Is this why you have willfully chosen to learn weapon refinery?”
