NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20.2: Fellow Disciples, Would I Lie to You?
But for now, he needed to get through this situation.
After pondering for a moment, Li Xun solemnly uttered four words: “Fiery Eyes of Truth!”
“Fiery Eyes of Truth?”
The girl thought for a moment, but she had no impression of such a technique.
Was there such a technique on the sixth floor?
Maybe there was.
She comforted herself with this thought.
“Yes, this eye technique allows me to see through illusions. When cultivated to its peak, it can penetrate the heavens above and the netherworld below. Seeing someone’s aptitude is just a minor trick,” Li Xun continued, embellishing without a hint of shame.
“Besides, we are fellow disciples. Would I lie to you with a technique?”
“That’s true.”
The girl’s lips curled into a smile, her fingers tapping her chin lightly as she pondered.
Then, she accepted the technique that Li Xun handed over and transferred its contents into her identity jade token.
The moment she finished transferring, a voice echoed in Li Xun’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master, for a successful investment. You have obtained one Royal Spirit Boat (lower-grade flying spiritual treasure). Would you like to claim it?]
“Not now.”
Li Xun responded absentmindedly.
After returning the Yi Wood Clear Water technique to Li Xun, the girl waved the jade token in front of him with a playful smile. “Today, Junior Sister Qingshuang thanks Senior Brother Li.”
“But… if it doesn’t work, I’ll come find you.”
“Qingshuang?”
Li Xun was momentarily stunned and asked tentatively, “Is Junior Sister’s surname Liu?”
“Yes.”
Liu Qingshuang nodded, her face full of curiosity. “Is there a problem?”
“No.”
Li Xun looked at Liu Qingshuang strangely and then shook his head.
He had heard of Liu Qingshuang before.
She was a genius who, within two years, had become an inner disciple.
He hadn’t expected they would meet under such circumstances.
It seemed that Liu Qingshuang hadn’t had an easy time since entering the inner sect.
She hadn’t even settled on a cultivation technique.
“Well… if Senior Brother has nothing else, I’ll take my leave today.”
Liu Qingshuang cupped her hands in farewell.
“Take care, Junior Sister.”
After sending off Liu Qingshuang, Li Xun didn’t immediately head to the sixth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Instead, he stood in place, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
Just now…
When he invested in Liu Qingshuang, he didn’t have the Yi Wood Clear Water technique at hand.
So why did the system still allow the investment?
Could it be because of the environment he was in?
Li Xun glanced around at the surrounding bookshelves, a look of understanding dawning in his eyes.
The Scripture Pavilion didn’t belong to anyone but to the sect itself, meaning that any disciple of Profound Sun Sect, before finding the right technique, had the right to access one or even two books here.
He had two slots but had only taken one technique, the “Purple Sun Heavenly Technique.”
This meant that somewhere in the lower to middle floors of the Scripture Pavilion, there was still one technique that belonged to him.
As long as he didn’t take a second technique, that slot would remain!
“Is this a bug?”
Li Xun glanced in the direction Liu Qingshuang had left.
After all, anyone who entered the Scripture Pavilion was here for the techniques, right?
In that case, could he potentially make multiple investments?
