Walking on the road, weaving through the ancient trees with their lush branches.
The road was shaded, with only dappled fragnts of golden sunlight spilling through.
Jiang Ning felt a heaviness in his heart.
The hardest thing to bear is the grace of a beauty.
Initially, he ca to the Royal Capital for another reason, to have a clear talk with Ji Mingyue.
He believed that he and Ji Mingyue had only t once, and their status difference was imnse.
One was the prestigious Seventeenth Princess of the Imperial Family, while he was forrly just a minor official, differing in class, lifestyle, and beliefs.
He didn’t think Ji Mingyue could truly be fond of him.
In his view, it was rely the occasional budding of a young girl’s heart, quick to co and quick to go.
That one eting was almost a year ago now, and the mory of appearances was blurred, so how could there be any feelings left?
Thus, even when he arrived in the Royal Capital, he wasn’t in a hurry to address this matter.
After all, eting Ji Mingyue was a hassle for him.
He now had no right to enter or leave the Imperial Palace, let alone et Ji Mingyue.
Without a way to get in or out of the Imperial Palace, he simply set this matter aside to focus on improving himself.
But he just learned from overhearing others’ conversations and discussions.
Before he had even arrived, Ji Mingyue had already taken on this matter alone, insisting on marrying him, and it had caused quite a stir among the city’s nobles.
This kind of determination, so resolute, was what troubled him the most.
Originally, it would only require a eting with Ji Mingyue to clarify things, and the initial agreent would then end.
He now had soone and did not wish to be overly entangled with other won.
Coming to such a magnificent and vast world, and having such a miraculous panel, his pursuits no longer just stopped at emotions and desires.
He had higher aspirations.
He wanted to climb the Martial Arts Peak, to witness greater vistas, to achieve immortality, and to transcend everything in the world.
In the face of such pursuits, even the most beautiful woman was but a scenery in the climbing process.
He did not reject such scenery but did not want to deliberately pursue it either.
Ji Mingyue’s actions completely surprised him.
For an unmarried woman, a taint on her reputation left no chance of turning back.
Especially for a woman of the Imperial Family, who holds reputation in higher regard.
Ji Mingyue’s actions made him suddenly realize he seed to have underestimated Ji Mingyue.
Though only having t once, if she wasn’t truly moved, how could it lead a Princess to sacrifice her reputation to do such a thing?
Knowing the significant sacrifices Ji Mingyue made, it made him feel a bit heavy-hearted.
The hardest thing to bear is indeed the grace of a beauty!
He sighed inwardly, shook his head, and decided not to dwell on this issue further.
There was much to learn and more books to read.
In his view, this was currently the most pressing matter.
A mont later.
He returned to the Book Collection Building.
Having walked all the way, the spirit rice porridge and the spirit fish the width of three fingers were thoroughly digested in his stomach.
This significantly improved his ntal state.
He then entered the Book Collection Building, returning to the position he left earlier.
Closing his eyes slightly, his divine thought erupted.
In an instant, ten books flew off the shelf, hovering around him.
Swish, swish, swish—
The pages turned.
Nurous torrents of information contained in the words flowed into his mind in an instant.
His brain was imdiately occupied processing the textual information on the pages, completing the entire digestion process while browsing.

[...]
As ti passed, one prompt after another quickly flashed before him.
...
Unknown how much ti passed.
A familiar figure appeared at the end of a bookshelf aisle.
It was Li Mujin, whom Jiang Ning had just seen in the cafeteria.
"He’s really here!" Watching Jiang Ning, who was focused and undistracted, Li Mujin thought to herself.
After hesitating for a mont, she walked over.
As she neared within three feet of Jiang Ning, she instantly felt a gentle force pushing her away.
"Spiritual power!!" Her mind reacted, her pupils slightly surprised.
Seeing Jiang Ning unaffected by her presence, she did not approach any further.
She then observed Jiang Ning for a mont, seeing him continually flipping through the pages beside him, feeling even more astonished in her heart.
She realized that this must be Jiang Ning’s way of reading books.
She didn’t believe Jiang Ning was pretending.
As the daughter of a Commandery Prince who was close to Ji Mingyue, she had heard Jiang Ning’s na from Ji Mingyue countless tis.
Later, as Jiang Ning’s fa rose, she curiously looked up Jiang Ning’s profile.
Upon seeing it, she realized what a legendary figure he was.
Now seeing with her own eyes, she further knew the records were true.
Jiang Ning’s martial arts achievents were even stronger than the records suggested.
Using spiritual power to simultaneously read ten books, dividing his heart spirit to focus on ten things at once.
She did not think Jiang Ning was faking it.
Based on her understanding, from yesterday, Jiang Ning had begun rapidly flipping through books in this manner since entering the Book Collection Building.
She thought figures like him, who rose from obscurity, would not co here to create a false impression.
Li Mujin’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Ning.
After a mont, she turned and walked towards the direction of the second floor.
As a long-ti student of Tao Palace, her only goal now was to quickly step into the Martial Arts Fourth Grade, and thus graduate.
In doing so, she could assu so important official positions and do what she wanted to do.
