Thanks to most of the scholars being in a state of confusion, with no particular goal to their movements, Yang Yi and Su Na had a less difficult time making their way through-until they reached the library.
Yang Yi had noticed this unusual building from far away.
Originally, the building could be described as an assemblage of architecture from different eras, representing the civilizations of those eras, like a miraculous creation pieced together from those civilizations.
Though its structure occasionally changed, it still gave an overall impression of order and civilization.
