The Sage Scholar: Is My Book Any Good?

Judging from their words, it seems that quite a few people have been exiled from Heavenly Court!

Ye Jing had many questions in his mind.

But we should be able to find out soon!

The three of them crossed the huge square, then turned and wandered around until they arrived at a door!

"Knock knock!"

Wang Yuanqiang knocked gently on the door.

"President!"

A response came quickly from inside the room; it was a very warm voice.

"Come in!"

Wang Yuanqiang and Shan Long then led Ye Jing into the room.

As soon as Ye Jing entered the room, his pupils contracted.

Because the person sitting in the very center of the room was a familiar face!

He wore a light blue scholar's robe, had a gentle face, and his hair was slightly gray, but it couldn't hide the faint aura of righteousness emanating from him!

The Sage Scholar!

Although he was a middle-aged Sage Scholar, he and Ye Jing had witnessed the Sage Scholar's evil thoughts in the Sage Scholar, and even chatted with the Sage Scholar in his old age for a while!

Therefore, he couldn't be mistaken; the middle-aged man in front of him was exactly like the Sage of Sage Scholar in his youth!

A strange feeling welled up inside me!

He had been speculating that the Sage Scholar was still alive; could it be true?

But he could also be the evil thought of the Sage Scholar, since he himself killed him!

According to the elderly Sage Scholar, he actually let go of the evil Sage Scholar he had!

But no matter what?

Even the Sage Scholar shouldn't look this young!

Wang Yuanqiang and Shan Long clasped their hands in a respectful greeting to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man, without any airs, stood up from his chair and said in a gentle voice, "Alright, please sit down, don't be shy!"

Wang Yuanqiang and Shan Long didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the chairs next to them, but they still spoke very politely:

"Mr. Qi, we've found another exile. He's very strong, and we've already checked him; there are no problems."

"Please help me, Mr. Qi, to purify the seal and restore his power!"

Wang Yuanqiang looked at Ye Jing, the only one standing, and said.

"Yes, Mr. Qi, he snapped the neck of a lackey of the Heavenly Court. His physical strength is terrifying. I can't even imagine how strong he will be after he recovers his power!" Shan Long patted his chest and said excitedly.

The middle-aged man, addressed as Mr. Qi, sized Ye Jing up and down, then suddenly froze, before a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Alright, I understand. You can all go and rest now. I'll handle this!"

Ye Jing's heart sank. Were they going to leave him alone?

Wang Yuanqiang and Shan Long were taken aback. They were allowed to watch the purification process in the past, so why were they being asked to leave today?

Before they could ask, the middle-aged man's voice rang out again. "He's very strong. I'm worried he might hurt you if he goes berserk."

The two of them immediately had no more doubts and got up to leave the room!

"Senior, we look forward to your performance!"

Before leaving, Wang Yuanqiang patted Ye Jing on the shoulder!

The instant the two closed the door!

"Alright, stop pretending. Is my book good?"

The middle-aged man's voice rang out, tinged with amusement!

Ye Jing's lips twitched. This was indeed the Sage Scholar; he knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer!

Trying to act tough in front of a master like the Sage Scholar is just too naive!

"Not bad, but there are too many to look at!"

Ye Jing decided to drop the pretense and spoke up.

He was telling the truth. The Sage Scholar wrote a vast number of books, and even now, he has only read less than one percent of them!

Of course, there's also a reason why he was selective in what he looked at!

"Take your time, no rush. I've given you those books, I won't take them back. Sit down, I know you must have a lot of questions, let's talk about it slowly!"

Qi Chun pointed to the chair in front of his desk and smiled.

Ye Jing, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. So far, he hadn't sensed any killing intent from the other party!

"But before I answer your question, you have to answer mine first!" Qi Chun poured Ye Jing a cup of tea.

"Ask away, I can't beat you anyway!" Ye Jing downed his tea in one gulp and answered generously.

"Okay, how did you get here?" Qi Chun filled Ye Jing again!

"When I was preparing to leave after participating in the Qingyun Field Hunt, I was discovered by Erlang Shen. The formation shattered, and I fell into a spatial rift, which led me here!" Ye Jing explained briefly, then observed the expression of the Sage Scholar opposite him.

He noticed the other person looking at him with pity, "Well, you really are unlucky. You came to this world, but you can't get out!"

"Why?"

Ye Jing was startled. If an ordinary person had said this, he would have dismissed it with disdain, but the other party was the Sage Scholar, and he certainly wouldn't have said such a thing for no reason!

"Because there is a seal placed here by the Heavenly Court, no one can leave without the Heavenly Court's permission, not even Saint breaks through the boundary!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jing frowned. The key step in setting up the formation to leave this place was to break through the world barrier through the formation!

However, if even Saint cannot break through the boundary, then his formation will also lose its effect!

"Would this token work?" Ye Jing pulled out the token he had taken from Zhang Ling.

"We have a whole bunch of useless stuff!" Qi Chun shook his head and pointed to a corner of a room, where Ye Jing was shocked to see a pair of identical tokens piled up there!

It has all four characters: east, south, west, and north!

Ye Jing: "..."

Ye Jing's lips twitched. "Is there really no other way? I can't stay here forever. And why did the Heavenly Court set up this barrier? Does the Heavenly Court have some unspeakable secret?"

Qi Chun smiled quietly, looking at Ye Jing: "What do you think? You want to escape the Qingyun Field ahead of schedule, so you must have guessed something, right?"

Ye Jing's expression hardened; he certainly knew what the Sage of Sage Scholar meant.

"Is the Heavenly Court harvesting life energy? Then why seal away a world?"

Ye Jing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh? You call that thing life energy? You could say that, but we more often call that ability 'source,' the origin of all living things!" A look of appreciation for Ye Jing flashed in the Sage Scholar's eyes!

"Source?"

For the first time, Ye Jing heard someone else confirm his suspicions!

"But why does the Heavenly Court need 'Source'?"

Ye Jing then asked the same question that had puzzled him for a long time!

"How long has the Heavenly Court existed?" The Sage Scholar did not rush to answer, but instead asked in return.

"I don't know, but it's at least tens of thousands of years!" Ye Jing didn't know a specific number, so he could only guess.

"That's right, at least ten thousand years. Do you know how long a Saint can live under normal circumstances?" the Sage Scholar asked in return.

Ye Jing frowned!

The normal Lifespan of most God of Heaven and Earth is rarely more than a thousand years, even after they become Saint, when it doubles!

At most, a few thousand years!

But shouldn't those Gods in Heavenly Court have long since transcended the Three Realms?

"Are you thinking that those people in Heavenly Court shouldn't be dead by now? Right?"
