" In the deep, deep sea, there is a majestic castle. Inside it live six beautiful Mermaid Princesses."
As Han Cheng spoke, Lotus suddenly interrupted him and shouted,"
"Han Cheng, what are mermaids? Is it a monster?"
"Uh, yes, the mermen recorded in the ancient books are mermaids. Their tears turn into pearls, and they are good at weaving silk. The mermaid silk and mermaid tears were priceless.”Han Cheng explained.
"I know, tell me quickly!"
Lotus nodded repeatedly, revealing her interest.
She had never heard such a story before.
Han Cheng continued,"Especially the youngest mermaid princess, she's even more beautiful than the sisters." She yearned for the prosperity and liveliness of the human world. One day when she was fifteen, she quietly swam out of the sea and saw a big ship on the sea."
The mermaid princess saw a human prince on the ship.
She fell in love with him at first sight.
A sudden storm overturned the ship.
The prince accidentally fell into the water.
At the moment of danger, the mermaid princess risked her life to save the prince. However, because of her mermaid body, she did not dare to face him.
The prince who woke up thought that he was saved by a human woman who was passing by…
In order to see the prince again, the mermaid princess endured the pain and used witchcraft to modify her fishtail. In the end, she did not get what she wanted. The prince married a human woman because of his kindness, and the mermaid princess died because of him.
Han Cheng finished the story unhurriedly.
Lotus was stunned for a long time, feeling a little unsatisfied.
"Han Cheng, the mermaid princess was in so much pain to see the prince.”
"It's all because of love," Han Cheng replied without hesitation.”
"Love?" Little Lotus didn't understand.
"Young miss doesn't understand yet, and there's no need to understand.”Han Cheng added.
"Senior martial brothers and sisters say that there is a difference between humans and demons. "Monsters always harm people. How could they have feelings for people?" Little Lotus pouted, obviously not believing it.
Han Cheng smiled and didn't explain.
He was only in charge of telling stories.
Little Lotus was quick-witted. She was afraid that her words would anger Han Cheng, so she stopped telling her stories and said,
"But, Han Cheng, your story is very good! It's even more exciting than the stories told by my senior brothers and sisters. I'll come to you again the next time I listen to a story! I have to go back now!"
"Alright, take care, Miss."
A faint smile appeared on Han Cheng's face as he sent Lotus out of the library pavilion.
The disciples who were waiting outside the door saw this and left.
Han Cheng turned around and went back, but he heard the little girl's oriole-like voice coming from afar,"
"Han Cheng! I'll come back tomorrow!"
“...”
Han Cheng stopped in his tracks and looked at the petite figure waving at him. He could not help but smile.
From that day on, the little pearl of the Heaven's Wall City's Sect Leader came to tell stories to Han Cheng every day.
Han Cheng had to prepare a new story for her every day.
At first, Han Cheng was annoyed by the interruption.
As time passed, he naturally got used to it.
He only told one or two fairy tales every day, so it didn't delay anything.
Moreover, he quite liked this eccentric little girl.
The cycle of spring and autumn repeated.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Han Cheng cultivated and meditated every day. He signed in at the library pavilion and obtained many pills and martial arts.
Magic Sword Demon Subduing! Huiming Sword! Xuan Zhen Sword! Clear Sky Sword! The Cosmos Sword! Chaotic Sword Technique!
These sword techniques were all from the Heaven's Wall City, and Han Cheng had obtained them.
Han Cheng had basically obtained all of the Heaven's Wall City's sword techniques by signing in. Furthermore, with his outstanding talent, he had learned all of them and cultivated them to perfection.
Except for the Void Illusionary Void Sword!
This was the legendary sword technique that Ziyin had created!
Currently, only True Man Ziyin knew how to do it in the entire Heaven's Wall City.
Han Cheng had not obtained it through signing in yet.
Little Lotus would still come to the library pavilion to listen to stories.
Elder Mo looked older and older. Han Cheng had stopped him from working a long time ago.
Han Cheng handled all the affairs of the library pavilion himself.
On this day, Han Cheng was sweeping the dust off the floor with his head lowered. A pair of familiar and worn-out black boots appeared in front of him.
He didn't need to look to know that it was Elder Mo.
With his profound cultivation, he could sense Elder Mo's approach.
"Xiao Cheng, stop sweeping. I have a few words to tell you.”
The hunched Elder Mo's voice sounded weak.
"Yes, Elder Mo." Seeing this, Han Cheng put down the broom cooperatively.
Elder Mo coughed twice and said," Xiao Cheng, I've already received the Sect Leader's permission to leave this place and retire." Sigh, I don't have many days left. I just want to return to my roots.”
"Elder Mo."
Han Cheng was stunned.
Unknowingly, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
There were only him and Elder Mo in the library.
After spending more than a year together, both as a teacher and as a friend, they finally had some feelings for each other.
It was inevitable to talk about life and death.
Elder Mo smiled and waved his hand.
"Nothing, nothing. This person, once he got older, it was especially easy for him to recall his childhood. I miss home very much now. I miss my parents. Xiao Cheng, let me give you a piece of advice. After working here for a few years, think of a way to go down the mountain and go home. Cough cough…"
Han Cheng walked closer and gently massaged his back.
Elder Mo took a breath and said sadly,"Don't be like an old man like me, fantasizing about becoming an immortal all day long! In the end, it wasn't this material. He wasted his time. Do you know that in the past few hundred years, only one True Human Ziyin has become an immortal in Heaven's Wall City? The others would at most live to be over 200 years old, and they would also be a handful of dirt. Even those geniuses with peerless talent are like this, let alone us, the servants."
His youthful black hair had turned white in his twilight years.
Every word was filled with pain.
When Han Cheng heard this, he felt a pang of sadness and agreed,"Elder Mo, I will remember your words.”
"Alright, alright."
Elder Mo sighed and patted Han Cheng's shoulder in relief."
"You are the top scholar of the Song Country, a dragon among men. You should enjoy the wealth of the world. Don't follow my old path. You are naturally intelligent and can naturally understand it. This old man will not say anything more and will take his leave.”
Of course, Han Cheng would not say that his current aptitude was probably better than Ziyin's! Moreover, he had a check-in system. His future achievements would definitely be above Ziyin's. He only promised to let Elder Mo return home in peace.
In his heart, he thought, I will definitely fulfill your unfulfilled wish and become an immortal!
