The moment he spoke, he reminded Xu Tingfang of something.
She hurriedly said, "It was written in a book, one of those on the shelves..."
As she spoke, she pointed toward the bookshelves.
But her voice abruptly cut off.
Xu Tingfang's eyes slowly widened as she stared at the scene before her in disbelief. All the books on the shelves... had changed!
