Huh?
At those words, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help looking up.
A young man in blue robes was walking toward them.
He looked to be in his twenties.
His clothes were clean, his features refined, and he carried a strong scholarly air.
He looked like someone who could easily win people's goodwill.
Jiang Xiaobai raised his brows slightly.
Who was this?
While he was wondering, Lin Qinrou spoke. "Lord Du."
Li Zhiwei also gave him a slight nod of acknowledgment.
Lord Du?
Jiang Xiaobai's expression shifted slightly as he looked the man over.
Could it be...
Was this the Du Chong those two scholars had mentioned earlier?

They were finely bound, and even their covers looked rather exquisite.
Du Chong held them out with a gentle smile. "By the way, this is the latest volume of my Tales of the White-Clad Wanderer."
"I've already signed them. Since I happened to meet you two ladies today, please accept them as gifts."
At his words, quite a few nearby students looked over, their eyes lighting up.

Just looking at them made their mouths water!

Du Chong's hand visibly paused. Clearly, he hadn't expected Li Zhiwei to turn him down so directly.
Beside her, Lin Qinrou also smiled slightly and said, "I don't need one either."
"..."
This time, Du Chong's expression finally
