Yan Shaozhe fell silent for a moment, then said, "After these five years away, even I find that boy a little hard to fathom. Yuhao is already a heaven-sent genius, but this boy is even more surprising. It's hard to say what the future holds, but at least for now, Yuhao is absolutely no match for him."
"But I know his temperament, too. He cares deeply about his relationships, yet he's also rather laid-back. He may not want to shoulder the burden of being Sea God Pavilion Master. Still, let's leave it for them to settle themselves in the future. Whether it's Yuhao or him, either one will surely keep our Shrek Academy flourishing."
Xuan Zi nodded as well. "True, but he grew up on his own, after all. Shrek Academy hasn't helped him much. We need to find a way to give him stronger ties to the academy. There is one thing-Mu En's last wish. Should we..."
Xuan Zi's voice grew quieter.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head. "There's no hurry. Unless we have absolutely no other choice, we should leave Teacher's body undisturbed. But we can give him the last portion of Breath of Light that Teacher left behind."
Xuan Zi nodded gently. An earthy yellow light shone in his eyes as he opened his palm. A ball of golden light, brimming with the auras of light and life, flew out and merged into the Golden Ancient Tree.
The Library was on the third floor of the Sea God Pavilion. Jiang Hai, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao stepped inside and were greeted by rows of shelves. Yellowed ancient books were preserved within Soul Tools, and every volume here might well have been the only surviving copy.
The flame of civilization leaped with delight.
White flames instantly enveloped the books.
