Chapter 2668 - 886: Veteran Scholar (2)
Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan didn’t expect that the Veteran Scholar was actually a foodie. It made things easier for them. After a round of barbecue, the Veteran Scholar felt he had obviously overeaten, yet still felt like he hadn’t had enough. Looking at Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan deliberately keeping a straight face, they didn’t appear like someone who had just eaten someone else’s food...
Mo Jiuli wanted to laugh, not caring about the Veteran Scholar’s feigned seriousness. Mo Jiuli continued to smile and ask, "Veteran Scholar, I heard the Vice Dean say, you built this library?"
"Hmph, what if I did?" the Veteran Scholar said arrogantly, with a stern face.
"Where did your books come from?" Mo Jiuli asked curiously.
"Hmm? Of course, my books are mine, what do you mean where did they come from?" The Veteran Scholar paused at these words, looking at Mo Jiuli and asking strangely.
He always felt that this little girl seemed to have a hidden meaning in her words, it was truly odd. Could it be that she knew something...
Actually, the Veteran Scholar was overthinking it. Mo Jiuli was just purely curious, wondering where the Veteran Scholar got these books from. Just by seeing the first hundred books, both Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan felt deeply benefited. And this was only the first floor. Mo Jiuli felt that just one of these books thrown onto a continent could be considered a treasure. Although it wasn’t a supreme treasure, it was still extremely precious! That’s why Mo Jiuli was curious about the Veteran Scholar.
However, from the subtle change in the Veteran Scholar’s expression, Mo Jiuli felt a jolt in her heart and realized that these books might really have been obtained by the Veteran Scholar from somewhere, and were not his own. But Mo Jiuli had no intention of asking further since it had nothing to do with her...
"Are you two the freshmen who have stirred up the Academy recently?" The Veteran Scholar asked curiously as he looked at Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan and noticed Mo Jiuli didn’t ask further questions.
"Well, we were just trying to earn some points to read books, but the Veteran Scholar’s library is way too expensive!" Mo Jiuli said with an embarrassed smile.
"Why did you two come to the Academy? Given your talent, you should be considered leaders within your family and don’t need to come here to learn anything, right?" The Veteran Scholar continued to ask.
"Then how does the Veteran Scholar know we have a family? We don’t even know where our parents are. We’ve been looking for them all the way from our continent to the Cloud Underworld. Does the Veteran Scholar think we should give up here and find a comfortable place to live?" Mo Jiuli looked at the Veteran Scholar with a self-mocking smile and said somewhat sadly.
The Veteran Scholar didn’t expect his casual question would reveal that their background was like this. It seemed he really misjudged before. Earlier, upon hearing about Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan’s arrogant behavior at the Academy, he thought they were disciples of some family, acting arrogantly because of their exceptional talent...
"I didn’t know. I didn’t think you were..." the Veteran Scholar said awkwardly.
"It’s okay, many people say this. It’s normal for the Veteran Scholar to misunderstand. We don’t really like causing trouble; we just don’t pretend to be kind to those who provoke us. Because of our resistance, everyone thinks we’re arrogant. Since everyone thinks so, then we’ll continue being arrogant!" Mo Jiuli said with a slight smile.
"There are two years left for the Academy Competition. In two years, you cannot leave the Academy. The Academy’s experts, none of whom you’ve seen yet, even if you two have subdued all the fourth-level gangs in the Academy, it’s still useless..."
