Elder Lü, oh, Elder Lü, you really never let anyone rest easy...
At the center of the square, Lin Mo looked at Lü Di's cautious expression and was speechless.
Of all the times to ask, why did you have to do it in front of the two sect masters?
Ask for too little, and you make the sect master look ungenerous. Ask for too much, and how is he supposed to command everyone's respect afterward?
They all say the people from the Spirit Plant Courtyard have no sense, their heads stuffed with nothing but spirit plants and seeds. Now I've truly had my eyes opened!
"Heh!"
At the entrance to the great hall, Han Kang gave a measured chuckle, then turned to Lin Mo and asked with a smile, "Lin Mo, what do you think?"
Ah, there's still no escaping it...
Lin Mo sighed inwardly, then cupped his hands. "With books, quality matters more than quantity. This disciple would not dare ask for too many. A single volume would leave me perfectly satisfied."
Lü Di, look at him, then look at yourself!
And you call yourself an inner sect elder. You can't even read the room...
Han Kang inwardly cursed Lü Di up hill and down dale, but his smile remained unchanged. "You have rendered meritorious service. If I granted you only one volume, wouldn't that make me seem stingy?"
"Once you enter the Scripture Pavilion, you may select two volumes. There will be no restrictions on the additional one!"
An uproar erupted!
Around the square, thousands of inner sect disciples burst into a clamor.
"No restrictions"-those words carried tremendous weight!
After all, the opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion and select a text was exceedingly rare. One needed either an outstanding spiritual root or great contributions to the sect.
