"Greetings, new overseer."
"I am Liao Zhi, the spirit of the Library Pavilion."
Inside the Library Pavilion.
Light gathered, forming a refined middle-aged man who bowed to Li Yue.
He wore a blue-green scholar's robe, looking every bit like a renowned scholar celebrated throughout the world.
"Tell me about the Library Pavilion."
Li Yue nodded, his expression calm.
