The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#511 - Lu Jing's proposal

Lu Jing saw that Ye Gongmei was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother her and quietly left her residence.

I have to say, his harvest this trip was quite large. He used a goldfish pond and a paper net to not only exchange for the Beast Controlling Formation he had been thinking about for a long time, but also inquired about the whereabouts of that flying sword.

Once his Beast Controlling Formation is completed, not only will he have another effective method to consume internal energy, but he will also have a lead on the third flying sword.

Thinking of this, Lu Jing felt a lot more at ease and was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning.

And that's not all, he went to the library again afterwards.

Xuan Ji hadn't seen Lu Jing for some time, and she was a little surprised to see him come in. She put down the novel in her hand.

"Why are you free today? Are you looking for a book? I'll help you find it."

"I'm not here to find a book today," Lu Jing shook his head.

"Then what are you here for?"

"Looking for you," Lu Jing glanced around and didn't say anything more.

Xuan Ji understood, "Come with me to the second floor."

After she finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the second floor first, while Lu Jing followed behind her.

Not far away, several freshmen of the academy, whose ears were almost taller than rabbits, showed expressions of surprise and anger, and their facial expressions were out of control.

Someone pretended to look for a book and wanted to follow, but Xuan Ji directly took Lu Jing to her room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Once the door was closed, the people outside couldn't hear or see anything.

Afterwards, Xuan Ji brewed two bowls of tea, handed one of them to Lu Jing, and then opened her mouth and said, "What's the matter you're looking for me for?"

"Do you remember the possibility we talked about before?" Lu Jing said.

Xuan Ji was stunned, "You're talking about..."

"That's right, I plan to help you repair your broken hand," Lu Jing said straightforwardly.

Before, in order to avoid Guo Shaojian, Lu Jing wanted to take Xuan Ji to the top of the building, but he failed, and instead caused Xuan Ji to lose a hand.

The latter's right hand can now only be covered under her sleeve.

Xuan Ji shook her head when she heard this, "I told you, Lu Daxia, that this matter has nothing to do with you. It was my own fault. Knowing that things cannot be done, I still had to grit my teeth and act strong. The consequences arising from this should also be borne by me alone."

"This...actually, it's not just to help you repair your broken hand," Lu Jing scratched his head, "I also have something I want."

Xuan Ji raised her eyebrows, "With Lu Daxia's skills and intelligence, is there anything you want but can't get?"

"Life, after all, will inevitably have flaws and regrets."

"Perhaps this is the meaning of the existence of books, to make up for the shortcomings of life through one story after another, and to experience the completeness that has never been experienced," Xuan Ji said thoughtfully.

"It's just that all of this, including me, is not real after all."

"Let's talk about philosophical things later," Lu Jing said, "Let's talk about helping you repair your broken hand first. According to you, [Gui Zi Lu Shi Liu] can make the words recorded in the book concrete."

"That's right," Xuan Ji nodded lightly.

"So, as long as we write down your lost broken hand and let [Gui Zi Lu Shi Liu] make it concrete, then we can reattach that hand to your wrist, right?"

"In theory, that's right, but there are many problems here," Xuan Ji frowned, "First of all, [Gui Zi Lu Shi Liu] randomly selects books in the library to make...make..."

"Make concrete."

"Yes, to make concrete. And there are so many books in the library, it's not easy to get [Gui Zi Lu Shi Liu] to choose it."

Xuan Ji was intelligent and perceptive. Although she had never heard the word "make concrete" before, she quickly understood its meaning from the literal meaning.

"We can move the books out in advance," Lu Jing said, "Yu Shixiong used to take the books out to dry every now and then."

"[Gui Zi Lu Shi Liu] will only work when there are more than 10,000 books in the library," Xuan Ji reminded.

"Then we'll leave 10,000 books," Lu Jing said.

"Who would take so many books out to dry at once?" Xuan Ji was speechless.

"Well...just say that the weather has been relatively humid recently, and you found that many books are showing signs of mold, so you moved them all out to dry."

"Let's not talk about whether anyone will believe your excuse. Even if we successfully move all the books out, and there are still 10,000 books left, how can you be sure that what [Gui Zi Lu Shi Liu] makes concrete is exactly the one you want?" Xuan Ji shook her head.

"We can try them one by one."

"The interval between [Gui Zi Lu Shi Liu]'s concretization is uncertain, but according to records, the closest two concretizations are ten days apart. 10,000 books, do you know how long it will take to concretize them all?"

"And folk novels, those strange tales should be excluded first, try to find some love novels, so even if it is realized, it won't realize any powerful guys, my skills are enough to deal with it."

Xuan Ji still felt it was inappropriate, "No one has stimulated it for a long time before, no one can be sure whether it only has this method, what if it has other changes?"

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "You're right, so I'll find a few more helpers, which will not only be safer, but also faster to move the books."

If it was just to help her find her broken hand, Xuan Ji would definitely persuade her again, but Lu Jing also said before that he had his own plans.

Seeing that Lu Jing was determined, Xuan Ji didn't say anything more, just sighed and asked, "When do you plan to start?"

"The sooner the better, can we start moving the books tomorrow?"

Xuan Ji nodded, "Then I will start selecting the books to be left tonight. In addition, Huang Jianyuan and Su Tixue also need to be notified in advance according to the usual practice. Your original excuse was too crude, I will think of a more reasonable statement, try not to make them suspicious."

"Then I will trouble Girl Xuan Ji," Lu Jing cupped his hands and said solemnly.
