79: Study, exercise, let's go!

Chu Qianqian turned her head, puzzled: "What is it? Do you think something is amiss?"

Lu Yi went straight to the point and asked: "You promised me earlier, where is the Scripture Pavilion of your Hehuan Sect?"

"Giggle..."

Chu Qianqian hadn't expected that even at a time like this, this guy still hadn't forgotten about that matter.

She was thoroughly amused by Lu Yi's persistent spirit of "studying."

"You really are... thinking about 'studying' every single moment."

She giggled a few times.

Then, she unhooked a purple token from her waist and tossed it to Lu Yi.

"Here, this is my Saintess token. With this, you can go almost anywhere within the Sect, except for a few Forbidden Grounds."

She casually called over a passing maid and instructed: "Take Holy Son Lu to the Scripture Pavilion."

Before leaving, Chu Qianqian did not forget to turn her head and, with an insinuating tone, urged Lu Yi: "There are plenty of 'good things' in the Scripture Pavilion... Don't get too absorbed in them and forget about the 'important business' at midnight tonight."

Lu Yi patted his chest to reassure her.

Afterward, guided respectfully by Chu Qianqian's maid, Lu Yi soon arrived at the Hehuan Sect's Scripture Pavilion.

Upon stepping inside, Lu Yi was slightly surprised by the sight before him.

He scanned the area and found that although the scale of the Hehuan Sect's Scripture Pavilion was not as vast as the Primordial Holy Land's, it could definitely be considered to have a "rich collection of books."

Moreover, the variety of books was... incredibly diverse.

Not only were there the Jade Slips of Dual Cultivation Cultivation Techniques that recorded various profound methods, which matched his stereotypes, but many of the Cultivation Techniques even came "thoughtfully" equipped with a full set of detailed illustrations on the side.

What was even more outrageous was that Lu Yi found an area deep in the Scripture Pavilion specifically for storing illusion recording stones.

Lu Yi picked up an illusion recording stone and probed it with his Divine Sense.

A vivid "instructional recording" immediately appeared in his mind.

Lu Yi withdrew his Divine Sense and sighed inwardly: "I have to say, this Hehuan Sect... is just too advanced."

In the following few hours, Lu Yi immersed himself in this ocean of knowledge, earnestly "studying."

Upholding the academic spirit of "critical absorption," he noted down all the Dual Cultivation Cultivation Techniques that seemed quite valuable.

He prepared to take them back to enrich his own "theoretical knowledge."

It wasn't until evening, when the sun was setting, that Lu Yi walked out of the Scripture Pavilion with lingering interest and returned to his residence.

He looked at the sky; it was still quite early before the midnight appointment with Chu Qianqian.

With nothing better to do, he prepared to find his personal maid, Ling'er, to properly "put into practice" the new knowledge he had just "studied" this afternoon.

After all, knowledge needs to be combined with practice.

On the way, he passed by Leng Ningshuang's room.

He saw that her door was tightly shut, and wisps of faint cold air were escaping from the door crack.

Clearly, she was still inside the room, diligently Cultivating.

Lu Yi did not disturb her, but went straight to the door of Ling'er's room next door and knocked.

"Who is it?"

The door opened, and Ling'er's pure and cute face was revealed.

When she saw that it was actually Lu Yi standing outside the door, she couldn't help but feel a bit confused.

This... it was only evening, the sky hadn't even turned dark yet, why would Master...

Looking at her dazed and cute expression, Lu Yi deliberately put on a straight face and said: "What? Judging by your expression, do you not welcome me? Should I leave then?"

"Hey! No, no, no!"

Upon hearing that he was going to leave, Ling'er hurriedly stopped him.

Not caring about anything else, she pulled Lu Yi into the room.

Immediately, as if feeling guilty, she poked her head out, looked left and right, and upon discovering that no one had noticed them, she "slammed" the door shut.

...

Next door, in Leng Ningshuang's room.

Leng Ningshuang sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to enter a state of Cultivation.

However, for some reason, she couldn't calm her mind today, no matter what.

The spiritual energy in her body was circulating quite sluggishly, and an inexplicable sense of agitation rose in her heart.

"Sigh..."

She slowly exited her state of Cultivation and sighed softly.

She thought that perhaps too many things had happened in the past few days, causing her to be restless and tired.

She stood up and stretched, preparing to rest for a while to soothe her mood.

However, just at this moment.

A faint, extremely strange, and suppressed sound suddenly drifted over from the room next door.

At first, she just silently complained: "The soundproofing of this guest room is inevitably too poor..."

But she was, after all, an expert of the Undying Realm; how sharp was her hearing?

She listened carefully, and the sound became clearer and clearer.

This is... the voice of Lu Yi's maid, Ling'er?

She... what is she doing?

She immediately listened closely, and then, after she realized what that sound actually was...

Leng Ningshuang's cold, pretty face flushed completely red!

"Shameless!"

She hurriedly set up a sound-insulation Formation within her room.

Attempting to completely block out those "filthy words."

In her heart, she silently spat at that "shameless" guy, Lu Yi.

But for some reason, she felt herself becoming restless as well.

...

The sky gradually turned dark.

Soon, the time reached midnight.

Outside the Hehuan Sect, on a remote cliff.

Chu Qianqian was hugging her arms, pacing back and forth anxiously.

At the same time, she would look up at the night sky from time to time.

"This guy... why isn't he here yet?"

Just as her patience was about to run out, a stream of light finally broke through the air from the direction of the Hehuan Sect.

Finally, it landed steadily in front of her.

"You finally arrived!"

Seeing this, Chu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help complaining: "I thought you weren't planning to come!"

"How could that be."

Lu Yi smiled faintly and stated quite calmly: "I just exercised for a while, warmed up a bit."

"..."

Chu Qianqian was choked by his blunt words.

Although she felt a bit helpless, the important business was at hand, so she didn't think too much about it.

"Alright, since you're here, let's get going immediately!"

Lu Yi also nodded, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"Alright, let's go!"
