In front of the clock tower, there was complete silence. Everyone stared in shock at Yang Zhen and Yanhua. To everyone's surprise, Yanhua actually said such a thing in front of so many people.
The fact that Great Master Su has taken a liking to Yang Zhen is even more shocking, bewildering, and unacceptable than the fact that Yanhua has taken a liking to Yang Zhen.
Great Master Su possesses Tongxuan Literary Talent Qi, having already condensed her Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions at a young age, and now she has even successfully condensed her seventeenth Literary Brilliance. Would such a brilliant woman fall for an ordinary man?
This young man named Yang Kang is merely feigning arrogance; everyone present can see that. Can't you see it, Great Master Su?
It must be that Yang Zhen deliberately created a maze to mislead Great Master Su Yang Zhen, causing Great Master Su to have some misunderstandings about him and leading to the current situation.
Just as everyone was about to expose Yang Zhen's true colors, Miss Yanhua suddenly said with a smile, " Great Master Su in a very good mood today, so she has decided to open the Bell Tower. All fellow Daoists present are welcome to enter the Bell Tower for a chat. Master Great Master Su will personally appear to resolve any doubts or difficulties you may have!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they all cheered.
Regardless of whether Great Master Su truly had her eye on Yang Zhen, the fact that even those who couldn't normally enter the Bell Tower could now do so excited Great Master Su.
Besides, Great Master Su is devoted to the Dao, how could she so easily take a liking to Yang Zhen? It must be Yang Zhen's unconventional behavior that has piqued Great Master Su's interest. As long as everyone goes in, they will be able to expose Yang Zhen's ugly face.
How could someone who wouldn't even dare to accept Gan Bailin's provocation possibly earn the respect of Great Master Su?
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with schadenfreude, and Gan Bailin's expression was particularly gloomy as he gave Yang Zhen a sinister smile.
Led by the girl from Yanhua, everyone present entered the clock tower. Even Yang Zhen was dragged and pulled into the clock tower by Xue Zonglin.
Upon entering the clock tower, Yang Zhen was immediately taken aback. The clock tower was much larger than he had imagined, and the surrounding walls were lined with rows of bookshelves, displaying thousands of books. And this was only the first floor.
On the wall behind the bookshelves, countless Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions carved, each one shining brightly, clearly protecting these books.
This Great Master Su truly lives up to his reputation as a bookworm, managing to hoard so many books within this bell tower. If he has read them all, Great Master Su is truly remarkable.
Now that things had come to this, even Yang Zhen felt a little curious about this Great Master Su. What kind of woman could she have done something like this?
Seeing Yang Zhen's interest in the bookshelf, Yanhua smiled and said, "These books were collected by Great Master Su from various countries. It can be said that the collection of books in North Isle is second only to the Spirit Learning Palace."
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked, " The Spirit Learning Palace actually has more books in its collection than here?"
Yanhua smiled and said, " Spirit Learning Palace is a place that gathers all the Literary Talent Qi in the world, and its disciples come from all over the continent, so it naturally has its own unique characteristics."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized that the Spirit Learning Palace truly lived up to its reputation as a place comparable to Ink Pool Peak, possessing such profound resources.
This made Yang Zhen feel somewhat ashamed. If he had such a mindset and perseverance when he was studying, he wouldn't have failed to learn math well.
On the second floor of the clock tower, a woman dressed in white snow-white attire exuded a faint scholarly air. Every smile and frown of hers seemed to come naturally. Her phoenix eyes sparkled, and her skin was flawless. In particular, her lips, which opened and closed slowly, were so alluring that they made one's mouth water.
The woman held a fine wolf-hair brush in her hand and was painting. On a piece of white paper, she drew a lotus flower that seemed to come alive. From a distance, it looked almost real, and even the morning dew on the petals was crystal clear, as if it could drip down at any moment.
Beside the woman, a little girl stood there with a look of surprise and admiration, and said in a clear voice, "Sister's painting skills are the Xiao Rou I've ever seen, without a doubt!"
Hearing this, the woman smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "Little girl, you don't need to flatter me like that. In your heart, Yang Zhen is probably the most talented person!"
If Yang Zhen were present at this moment, he would surely be astonished. The little maid beside Great Master Su was none other than Tian Rou, who had struggled to paint on Turtle-Snake Island but ultimately failed to complete the dragon head.
The painting of the giant dragon, which lacked a complete dragon head, was eventually finished by Yang Zhen, who added a water tap to it, which condensed celestial phenomena and shocked the entire Turtle-Snake Island.
Upon hearing Great Master Su's words, Tian Rou blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Sister is making fun of Xiao Rou again!"
Great Master Su smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm quite interested in that Yang Zhen as well, but his reputation doesn't seem to be very good. The entire Tieling City is searching for him, which seems quite troublesome!"
Tian Rou quickly shook her head and said, "That's not how it is, sister. Although Brother Yang is... although he's a bit eccentric, he's a good person. It must be that two-legged cat talking nonsense that caused everyone to misunderstand, and it affected you too, sister."
Great Master Su shook her head and sighed softly, saying, "Most people in this world are driven by fame and fortune, and are easily influenced by gossip. This doesn't bother me much, but you've mentioned Yang Zhen's name to me no less than ten times in one day. I've become curious and want to meet him, but under these circumstances, it's quite difficult."
Tian Rou was taken aback, bit her lip, but there was nothing she could do.
Great Master Su slowly unfolded another picture on the cutting board, and a lifelike dragon leaped onto the paper. However, the dragon's head looked strange and rather comical.
As she looked around, Great Master Su suddenly chuckled, and the surrounding environment instantly brightened up a bit.
Great Master Su looked at the painting with curiosity, suppressing a laugh as she said, "What kind of person could create such... such a unique painting? Yang Zhen... he said this thing is called a faucet?"
With a nostalgic smile on her face, Tian Rou nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, but I don't know where Brother Yang is now. After we met that day, Xiao Rou heard that he went to Donglin Island, but when I went to Donglin Island, I heard that he had already gone to sea and I haven't seen him since."
Great Master Su turned to Tian Rou and said, "You are very talented, but you haven't developed your own style yet. It's really a bit of an injustice to put you on the same list as Gan Bailin. You won't blame your sister, will you?"
Tian Rou shook her head and said, "How could Xiao Rou blame her sister? On the contrary, Xiao Rou completely understands her sister's good intentions and will definitely not let her Xiao Rou down."
Great Master Su nodded and said, "In North Isle, and even in the entire Youzhou Continent, only the Spirit Learning Palace can allow our Literary Talent Qi to reach the highest level of cultivation. The Spirit Learning Palace has urged me several times to go there. You... shouldn't stay at the Culture Academy either; come with me!"
Tian Rou nodded and said, " Xiao Rou is willing to go along, but why is Sister suddenly interested in this Yang Kang?"
A smile flashed in Great Master Su's eyes as she said, "I just think he's an interesting person. He can remain calm even in such a situation. He must be someone important. It would be worthwhile to meet him. It's just a pity that I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to meet Yang Zhen."
