Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL] Chapter 444: Visitors 1

Since they no longer had the wine shop, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu went to their designated mountain area.

However, imdiately after arriving, Zhen Yuan frowned with a thoughtful expression.

"Whats wrong?" Shen Xu asked.

"The formation has been tampered with." The man said, looking at the defensive formation he had left behind.

The formation looked fine on the surface.

However, Zhen Yuan knew his formations best and on closer look, he realised that at so point, soone had opened a gap in the array.

This was not unexpected though.

After all, Zhen Yuan had only arranged the most basic defensive formation to protect the empty lot.

"I wonder who it was?!" Shen Xu muttered but neither dwelt on it.

Soon after, they entered the formation and looked around.

After three hundred years, the seeds that Shen Xu had scattered around had gown into mature spirit grasses.

Seeing this, the double smiled and led Zhen Yuan to collect the grasses.

’I can use these to refine so common pills.’ The double thought.

After collecting the spirit grasses, the two setup their portable cave and went inside.

"Ayuan, what’s your plan for the next few months?" Shen Xu asked.

"First, contact swordsman Luo to let him know we can participate in the competition." Zhen Yuan said and the double nodded before taking out his communication jade to ssage Luo Jianfeng.

"I want to visit the library while waiting for the competition." Zhen Yuan continued and Shen Xu raised an eyebrow.

"I had almost forgotten we have lifeti passes." He said.

"Our space library is good but it’s always a good idea to read more books. Who knows, maybe the sect library will surprise us."

"Maybe, but I won’t accompany you to read." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

"I know." He said.

After that, Zhen Yuan went to the outer sect and hired an outer sect disciple.

When that was done, he and the outer sect disciple went to the library and borrowed one hundred books.

After leaving the library tower, they returned to the mountain area and entered the array.

"Your job is to return the borrowed books to the library and exchange them with new ones. You can co here every morning to collect the previous day’s books." Zhen Yuan explained and the outer sect disciple nodded.

"I understand, senior." He said but suddenly frowned.

"Senior, which kinds of books should I borrow?" He asked.

"There is no need to pick and choose. Just borrow from where I left off. I will give you a number every morning." Zhen Yuan said and looked at the outer sect disciple with a serious expression before continuing.

"Don’t miss any books." He said and the disciple nodded.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During that ti and taking advantage of the space’s ti difference, Zhen Yuan read all the books in the library.

Unfortunately, like he expected, the books were good but they were not the true legacy of the Tianxuan sect.

’The sect should have a hidden library sowhere.’ He thought but didn’t dwell on it.

After all, judging from the books he had read, he didn’t think the sect’s true library would be better than their space library.

Shen Xu was not idle while Zhen Yuan was studying.

During that ti, he refined pills and weapons, brewed wine, and occasionally accepted orders from old custors.

On this day, the couple was relaxing outside their portable cave when they felt a tap on the formation.

"Are you expecting soone?" Zhen Yuan asked, looking at the double.

However, Shen Xu shook his head with a thoughtful expression.

"No one." He said and Zhen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

A mont later, he made so hand gestures and a water mirror appeared on the formation.

"It’s Sima Ling." He observed and waved his hand to open the formation.

Soon after, Sima Ling and four others entered the formation and walked towards Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.

"Fellow daoist Zhen and junior brother Shen have finally left the thunder secret realm." Sima Ling said and Shen Xu chuckled.

"Do you dislike the thunder secret realm?" He asked and Sima Ling looked at him with a aningful expression.

"I am a formation master, not a martial artist. It would be strange if I liked the thunder secret realm." He said, recalling the place from his last visit to the couple.

"Don’t just stand there, sit." Shen Xu reminded and waved his hand to remove chairs from his storage ring.

After sitting, Sima Ling looked at the two and began introducing the four people he had brought along.

"This is my eldest brother, Sima Cheng; he is also a level eight formation master." He started and quickly continued.

"This is my third sister, Sima Xin and my fourth brother Sima Chen; they are both level seven formation masters."

"Finally, this is my seventh sister, Sima Xiang; she is a level seven alchemist."

Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were surprised to hear that the seventh sibling was an alchemist.

However, after thinking about it, they felt that it wasn’t strange.

After all, even in a big family like the Sima clan, it was impossible for all descendants to only be talented in formations.

"It’s good to et the four daoists Sima." Shen Xu said, looking at the four new faces.

"We have long admired senior brother Shen and senior brother Zhen." Sima Chen said with an excited expression.

"Senior brother Zhen and fellow daoist Shen are unprecedented geniuses of our ti. It’s our honour to et you." Sima Xin said.

After a few pleasantries, the subject shifted to the main topic.

"Fellow daoist Zhen, the inheritance you gave is a priceless treasure for my Sima family." Sima Ling said.

At the sa ti, he and his siblings stood and bowed to Zhen Yuan.

Sima Ling knew that the inheritance was a good thing when he received it.

However, he still underestimated its value and it was not until after they unlocked several levels that he truly understood.
