Ling Bai looked in surprise at the woman who had suddenly appeared. For a moment, he didn't recognize who she was, and a jumbled scene flashed before his eyes.

In the White-Gold Crystal Hall, the woman stood in front of him, gazing at him with her golden six wings fluttering gracefully, a faint smile on her red lips.

"Senior Sister, why are you here too?"

Ling Bai steadied the book and temporarily pushed the sudden image out of his mind.

"Compared to why I'm here, I'm more curious why you're standing at the door like a fool." Han Ruoru's clear and beautiful face was like a lotus emerging from water, her red school uniform with a cinched waist accentuating her graceful figure.

"I came to read a bit, but I found out my access level isn't high enough."

Ling Bai said helplessly. Who knew that Shrek Academy had installed a Soul Conductor Access System on the second floor of the Library, preventing freshmen like him from even entering.

"Want to go in?"

Han Ruoru tilted her head, and Ling Bai noticed her slightly swaying silver earrings and a mischievous smile he had never seen before.

"Since I'm already here."

Ling Bai quoted a classic line.

Han Ruoru was instantly convinced: "That's true, since you're already here, it would be a waste not to go in and take a look. Come on, Senior Sister will take you!"

Han Ruoru swiped her school badge on the Soul Conductor Access System, and a pleasant voice sounded:

"Student Han Ruoru, you have Inner Academy Library Red-Level Reading Permission. Welcome to the second-floor Restricted Book Area for borrowing and research. Please note, every page of paper is a precious asset of the entire continent. Please cherish and protect all books in this area."

Han Ruoru pushed open the heavy pear blossom wood door, and a sense of ancient history enveloped them. The pure wooden decor of the second floor gave their faces a deep brown, wooden texture.

"This voice..."

Ling Bai seemed to understand: "It's yours, Senior Sister?"

"Correct, but no reward." Han Ruoru made a small joke, "In the past, the second-floor restricted area had a teacher in charge, but after the Soul Conductor Department developed the access system, the Library became an unattended area.

Most students in the academy only care about practical combat. Compared to the simulated training area and the Soul Arena, the Library is the place everyone is least willing to visit. When recording the voice messages, the only person the academy could find was me."

Han Ruoru continued: "I always believe that books record the experiences of our predecessors and their blessings to future generations. Whether ordinary people or soul masters, they should never stop learning until the day they die. But every time I mention this, I see a look of disdain on their faces, and I really don't like it. I haven't seen anyone else in the Library for a long time, except for you, little junior brother."

Han Ruoru's eyes sparkled. On the way to the Inner Academy earlier, she had subtly hoped that Ling Bai would visit the Library more often, and he didn't disappoint her.

"Reading enriches the mind and benefits the eyes and the soul." Ling Bai stepped past Han Ruoru and walked toward the rows of wooden bookshelves. "Though I haven't read as much as Senior Sister, I will keep reading."

Han Ruoru paused, her bright eyes curving into a charming smile: "If everyone were like you, little junior brother, I believe the development of the academy's students would be much more comprehensive."

"Senior Sister, you can't force people to read."

Ling Bai browsed through the book titles, responding casually.

"True, even Yue Xuan couldn't resist. She once advised me that soul masters should learn everything they need to know in the Outer Academy. As Inner Academy students, we should focus more on enhancing our Soul Power and immerse ourselves in practical combat."

Han Ruoru walked opposite Ling Bai, separated by a row of bookshelves, their shadows intertwining through the gaps between the books.

"Senior Sister is a bit too decisive. There are many things in books that are worth soul masters studying. Six years in the Outer Academy are far from enough to understand the entire soul master world," Ling Bai said frankly.

In his previous life, there were many people who couldn't understand mathematics in twelve years, so it was unreasonable to expect students to learn everything a soul master should know in just six years in the Outer Academy.

Han Ruoru covered her mouth with a smile: "You can only say this to me. Don't talk about it outside, or it might not be good if Yue Xuan finds out."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Alright, I'll listen to Senior Sister."

Ling Bai pulled out a pure black book from the shelf, its thickness comparable to five combined volumes of the Xinhua Dictionary. He found a window-side spot on the second floor and sat down.

Unlike Ling Bai, who only took one book, Han Ruoru carried a stack of books that towered higher than her head. She sat opposite Ling Bai and placed the 'book tower' beside her with a

dull thud.

After the thud, the Library fell into a long silence. They were both smart people, understanding the art of giving each other space.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating their hair like golden threads, reminiscent of precious silk.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Bai straightened his slightly sore back and his gaze fell on Han Ruoru, who was still immersed in her book, her hand supporting her snow-white

chin.

From Ling Bai's angle, he could see her long neck and collarbone, the white and pink hues like intricately painted peonies, with a few strands of hair like stamens, and green veins extending

downward into her clothing.

Library, morning, sunlight, senior sister...

He suddenly thought that if this were in his previous university, it might be the place where a couple first fell in love.

Ling Bai smiled and continued flipping through the pages.

A few minutes later, Han Ruoru lifted her hand to brush away a strand of hair that had fallen on her nose, her gaze following it. The fair and clean face of the boy opposite her was unreasonably handsome, the fragmented sunlight falling into his golden eyes, warm and

serene.

After a while, seeing that Ling Bai was still on the same page, Han Ruoru couldn't help but speak softly: "Little junior brother, is there something you don't understand? Do you want

me to take a look?"

"Hmm?"

Ling Bai looked up, his golden eyes meeting Han Ruoru's concerned gaze. He thought for a moment, nodded, and closed the book, allowing Han Ruoru to see the six large words on the

black cover.

"Chronicles of the Continent's Evil Soul Masters."

Han Ruoru's eyebrows furrowed. The Chronicles of the Continent's Evil Soul Masters recorded the lives of many Evil Soul Masters over the millennia, including the heinous deeds they committed. Shrek Academy kept it to teach students about the evil and terror of Evil Soul Masters, fostering a sense of righteousness in their lifelong battle against them.

"Little junior brother, is there something you don't understand?" Han Ruoru asked

hesitantly.

The Chronicles of the Continent's Evil Soul Masters was more like a biography, not a difficult,

heavy tome. Ling Bai shouldn't have trouble understanding it.

"Senior Sister, are we enemies with all Evil Soul Masters, right?"

"Of course!"

Han Ruoru's tone was resolute. She had been in the Inner Academy for many years and had

encountered Evil Soul Masters during her monitoring duties, witnessing their cruelty and viciousness. She had no sympathy for any Evil Soul Master.

"Then, Senior Sister..."

Ling Bai patted the black book and said:

"If you were to awaken an Evil Spirit Soul, what would you choose?"
