Borrowing a Book from Senior

Just as Tongtian spotted the Two Sages of the West.

Elsewhere.

In the courtyard of Lin Tian's bamboo house.

The Three Xiaos were staring at Covering the Heavens with One Hand on the stone platform.

Three incomparably beautiful faces, six pairs of eyes.

All fixed intently on the book.

Turning its pages one by one.

Their faces were filled with fascination.

It was as though the gates to a new world had opened before them.

They could not tear themselves away.

From the moment the protagonist encountered the heart-stopping sight of nine dragons pulling a coffin in a mysterious star system.

To the various unfathomable mysteries he encountered afterward.

As he searched for his own path to immortality!

The protagonist's tenacity, the portrayals of the supporting characters.

All seemed like living beings who truly existed!

Although Covering the Heavens with One Hand was long.

With their cultivation at peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

They naturally took in what they read very quickly!

So.

In just a short while.

They had already read more than half of Covering the Heavens with One Hand!

"This story is truly profound and wondrous."

"I wonder if these are things Senior Lin Tian experienced himself."

"Or perhaps Ye Fan in the book is actually Senior Lin Tian himself!"

Yunxiao drew her gaze away from the book, a flash of astonishment crossing her beautiful eyes!

Clearly.

Yunxiao had been shaken by the events and characters in Covering the Heavens with One Hand.

Hearing the shock and astonishment in Yunxiao's voice.

Bixiao, who sat beside her, also wore an expression of shock on her incomparably beautiful face!

"Yes, Senior Sister!!"

"Some of the lines in the book especially spoke straight to my heart."

"For example: I do not wish for eternal life, only to live alongside you. I do not strive for a hundred lifetimes, only for this one. I do not seek eternity, only this life. I do not seek a love that lasts as long as heaven and earth, only to have once had it."

"And there are Duan De's words: Who in this world is a hero? Behold my unparalleled splendor! And Empress Ruthless: In this mortal world, I do not seek to become an immortal, only to wait for your return!!"

"Besides them, there are Emperor Wushi, the Azure Emperor, and others!"

"Ye Fan isn't the only character in the book who's made of flesh and blood. The other characters are just as real, full of feeling and loyalty! It truly shook me!"

Bixiao spoke with a sigh, a hint of reminiscence on her lovely face.

As for Covering the Heavens with One Hand.

Even now, she was still savoring it!

Just as Bixiao was speaking.

Qiongxiao, sitting beside her, was already gazing through a veil of tears.

Her little nose twitched as she sniffled.

It seemed she had been moved by Covering the Heavens with One Hand.

"Boo-hoo-hoo!"

"The story is so moving. I've already reached the Taiyi Realm, yet this book can still affect my emotions!"

"If I were Empress Ruthless, I don't think I'd be as strong as her!"

When Yunxiao and Bixiao heard Qiongxiao's words.

They could not help smiling.

"My two junior sisters, there's something mysterious about Covering the Heavens with One Hand. The world it depicts is wondrous indeed, though we still don't know whether that world truly existed!"

"But one thing is certain: this book is the opportunity Senior gave us!"

"Just now, as I read it, I could faintly sense a trace of insight quietly taking root deep within my primordial spirit."

"Once I go back and carefully contemplate it, I expect I'll be able to make a breakthrough!"

At that moment, Yunxiao spoke to Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

Hearing Yunxiao's words, Bixiao froze and could not help saying.

"Senior Sister, you felt that too?"

"Just now, I also had a feeling of insight I couldn't quite put into words. I just wasn't sure..."

After Bixiao spoke, Qiongxiao nodded as well.

Yunxiao's heart gave a start, and she immediately understood the whole sequence of events!

"This book must be."

"Senior must have written it based on the problems we face, so that we could gain insight from it ourselves."

"Whether we can gain insight from the events or characters in the book depends on our own comprehension!"

Hearing Yunxiao's explanation.

Qiongxiao could not help interjecting.

"But Senior Sister, if it's an opportunity, can we take the book with us?"

"I think it would be better if we could take it back and study it carefully..."

"I just don't know if Senior will let us take it back..."

Hearing that.

Yunxiao's expression changed, and she too said uncertainly.

"That's true... Well, when Senior comes out, we can ask him for it."

"Besides, we still haven't done what Senior Brother asked us to do."

Bixiao and Qiongxiao nodded.

They looked toward the wooden house ahead.

"I just wonder what Senior is doing inside."

"We've read more than half the book, and Senior still hasn't come out!"

Although they possessed spiritual sense and could read extremely quickly.

Half an incense stick's time had already passed since Senior Lin Tian went inside.

They had no idea what Senior was doing.

Just as they were growing somewhat anxious from waiting.

They saw Lin Tian walk out of the room.

They hurriedly rose to their feet and addressed him.

"Senior."

Carrying tea, Lin Tian gave them a surprised look and asked suspiciously.

"What are you doing?"

The Three Xiaos exchanged glances, then each knelt on one knee before Lin Tian.

Their tone was sincere, their manner solemn.

They also held themselves very humbly.

The respect in their words was plain to see.

"We juniors would be so bold as to ask a favor of you, Senior."

Lin Tian was stunned by the Three Xiaos' grand gesture. Seeing how solemn they were, he could not help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Please, get up. Whatever it is, take your time and tell me."

"As long as I can help, I'll do my best."

He spoke helplessly.

He had already figured out why they were doing this.

Wasn't it because they wanted to ask him for guidance?!

But the problem was.

After going inside, he had been trying to think of how to guide them.

Even now, he still had not figured it out.

Lin Tian was too embarrassed to keep them waiting much longer.

So he had no choice but to come out.

And the moment he did, he found them so eager to pay their respects to him.

He felt helpless at once.

Alas, what had to come has finally come.

I'm just an ordinary wandering immortal.

There's no way I can guide them.

Just as Lin Tian was thinking this.

The Three Xiaos' next words.

Made him pause.

"May we ask, Senior, whether we could borrow this book, Covering the Heavens with One Hand?"

"We'd like to read it..."

???

Hearing that, Lin Tian was dumbfounded.

After all that, they weren't asking him for guidance?

They wanted to borrow a book?

Wasn't it just a webnovel?

Had he left it on the stone platform and let them see it?

And now they were hooked?

Lin Tian wondered, finding it strange.

He did not mind, though, and waved a hand as he said.

"Take it."

Seeing Lin Tian nod.

The Three Xiaos were overjoyed and exchanged glances.

Each saw a glimmer of wild delight in the others' eyes!

"Thank you, Senior, for granting us this opportunity!!"

"We cannot thank you enough!"

???

An opportunity?

When did I guide them to an opportunity?

How does a webnovel count as an opportunity??

Have I misunderstood what an opportunity is?

Lin Tian looked at the delighted Three Xiaos, utterly bewildered.
