Having studied for a hundred years, why do you call me the Martial Saint?

I'm sorry, Senior Brother Huang Ziyi.

Although I, Gu Shuxian, am very young, I am upright and honest, and I know a lot about principles!

He's a decent person!

I don't watch this kind of nonsense!

Gu Shuxian originally wanted to yell at him like that!

However, considering that a menial disciple would refuse the kindness of an inner disciple, it would be somewhat ungrateful.

Moreover, Huang Ziyi was willing to lend him books when he didn't have any himself, which shows a sense of friendship.

Gu Shuxian had no choice but to reluctantly accept the book.

"Ah, that's right!"

Huang Ziyi patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, his smile carrying a hint of meaning, "Come find me after you've finished watching, and we'll have a good exchange of thoughts!"

Pah, how shameless!

Who would you share your thoughts on this kind of book with?

Gu Shuxian cursed inwardly, but outwardly he yielded and pretended to nod.

……

On his way out of the library, Gu Shuxian tucked the book into his clothes, feeling like everyone was watching him.

I feel very uncomfortable.

It felt as if someone might jump out at any moment and yell, "You hypocrite, how could you watch this kind of stuff!"

I was terrified the whole way back to house number 9.

The house was empty.

Gu Shuxian stood at the door for a moment, looked around to make sure no one was there, then quietly closed the door and sat down on his bunk.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out the book from his bosom.

He looked at it with a complicated expression.

Wild Fox Romance

To look or not to look?

No, I'm a respectable person, I can't watch this kind of thing!

At that moment, a voice in his heart told him righteously.

Just as Gu Shuxian was about to comply, another voice rang in his mind.

Just flip through it a little and see how exciting it is!

Okay, let's take a quick look...

No!

Such reading materials are extremely corrupting to the mind! You mustn't even glance at them!

Gu Shuxian was struggling, her hand holding the book trembling slightly, as if she wanted to throw it away!

but……

Is this the right thing to do?

Is this the time to be agonizing over these things?

Have they forgotten their mission?

He suddenly realized that he was the guardian of Langhuan Pavilion, destined to read all the books in the world!

The moment this thought came to mind, my mind cleared and my eyes became bright.

"There's nothing I can do. Although I don't really want to see it, it's the fate of a librarian."

Gu Shuxian made up his mind and decided to watch it critically!

Gu Shuxian, like an old monk in meditation, with a solemn and dignified expression and a sense of mission, solemnly turned to the first page.

boom!

The door was suddenly pushed open.

With a swift movement, Gu Shuxian shoved the book under the blanket.

When he looked up again, his face was calm.

"Junior Brother Gu, you're really here!"

Qian Le burst in, plopped down on the opposite bunk, and looked worried.

"It's all over, Junior Brother Gu, it's all over now!"

"What's wrong?"

Gu Shuxian asked without changing his expression, while subtly pulling the blanket up to cover the corner of the book that was showing.

"Deacon Sun refuses to transfer Zhao Kui!"

Qian Le sighed, "He said changing rooms is troublesome, and there are no other rooms available right now. He said Zhao Kui will soon enter the outer sect with his inner energy, so we should be patient..."

"Tell me, Zhao Kui is about to kill someone! How can we tolerate this?"

"And that Luo Lie, he's even more ruthless than Zhao Kui. I heard he's killed people before!"

"Sigh, we won't be able to go to the forest for a long time, and I don't know what will happen to our mountain produce business..."

"No, it's not the time to think about business. Zhao Kui might just grab an axe and chop us down while we're sleeping!"

"Oh dear, what should I do..."

Qian Le kept rambling on and on, from Zhao Kui to Luo Lie, from Luo Lie to the mountain products business, from the mountain products business to nighttime safety, without showing any sign of stopping.

Gu Shuxian responded half-heartedly, but his eyes involuntarily drifted under the covers.

"Junior Brother Gu, are you listening?"

Qian Le suddenly stopped talking and looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm listening!"

Gu Shuxian quickly averted his gaze and said seriously, "Senior brother is right, that Zhao Kui is truly a scoundrel!"

"That's right! Didn't you see the look in his eyes today? He looked like he wanted to kill us..."

Qian Le started talking again.

Gu Shuxian nodded in agreement, but his mind was on the book.

Of course, he didn't want to see it.

However, considering the daily rewards for diligence at Langhuan Pavilion, it's best to finish reading this book as soon as possible!

If you don't have enough time to finish watching it, wouldn't that be a waste of a day?

So I'm a little anxious, not because I'm curious about the contents of the book.

"That's why I said we need to think of a way to stay awake tonight and take turns keeping watch..."

Qian Le's voice was buzzing in his ears, but Gu Shuxian could no longer make out what he was saying.

He was thinking, since Qian Le can't read anyway, why not just start reading directly?

No, no, what if this book has some indecent pictures?

Or what if there's a plot that makes people blush?

How will we explain that then?

"You're making me hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat."

Fortunately, after rambling on for half an hour, Qian Le finally got tired, stood up, and muttered to himself as he walked towards the door.

Gu Shuxian was secretly excited as he watched Qian Le push the door open and leave.

I waited patiently for a moment.

Then, without waiting, I pulled out the book from under the covers, took a deep breath, and opened the first page.

pat!

"Sigh, I just ran into people from room six. They said the pancakes in the kitchen are cold now, as hard as rocks..."

Qian Le suddenly turned back, pushed open the door and entered. He was halfway through his sentence when his gaze fell on Gu Shuxian's stiff posture. Seeing him holding a book, he frowned.

"What time is it? You still have the mind to read?"

"Since I'm just killing time anyway."

Gu Shuxian coughed lightly, then casually placed the book face down to the side.

"That's true." Qian Le didn't delve into it further, walked over and sat down on the opposite bunk, and started talking again, "When will this ever end? We can't even get a hot meal, and we have to live in fear..."

Gu Shuxian sat upright, responding verbally, but his heart was ashen. Was he going to talk for another half an hour?

As Qian Le was speaking, her gaze suddenly drifted to the book beside him, and she casually asked:

"What are you looking at? A book on herbal medicine?"

"More or less."

Gu Shuxian swallowed hard and spoke ambiguously.

Qian Le asked in surprise, "A book on herbal medicine? This doesn't look like the two we bought before..."

After saying that, he reached out to take the book.

Gu Shuxian instinctively raised his hand to stop him, but suddenly realized it was too suspicious. His hand froze in mid-air, and he guiltily touched the back of his head.

Pretend your scalp is itchy and scratch it.

Qian Le flipped through the book, his brows furrowed deeply:

"There are no pictures here. What kind of herbal medicine book is this? How can you even read it? Where did you get this book?"

No pictures? No pictures at all?

Gu Shuxian felt a deep sense of regret... no, it was relief!

Gu Shuxian took the book back without changing his expression, coughed, and explained:

"I borrowed it from someone."

Upon hearing this, Qian Le's eyes softened, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Junior Brother Gu is truly diligent!

Despite being filled with anxiety and fear that day, he was still thinking about his ability to study medicine and took the initiative to borrow books to read...

When that beast Wang Biao tore up the Hundred Herbs Record, he comforted himself by saying he remembered most of it...

Looking back now, it seems their original plan was to secretly borrow books, learn the material quietly, and then surprise us...

Thinking of this, Qian Le felt a lump in her throat.
