The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#537 - Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

"What did Lu Jing do in your story?" Wen Xiaochuan asked with great interest.

"No… nothing much." Xuan Ji lowered her head.

A hint of suspicion appeared on Wen Xiaochuan's face. "That shouldn't be. Didn't you say that this guy stirred up every book to deal with [Gui Zi Sixty-Six]? For example, in that 'Xiugu Tianxiang' I read, Lu Jing bought all those pitiful, skinny horses inside to be his concubines, taking them boating on the lake and enjoying earthly pleasures…"

Wen Xiaochuan was getting excited as she spoke when Xuan Ji suddenly covered her mouth. "No, don't say any more."

"I wasn't talking about you. Wait…" Wen Xiaochuan seemed to realize something, and the look on her face as she looked at Xuan Ji became strange. "Could it be…"

"It's not what you think. Great Hero Lu and I are friends. When he saw me in the book, he always treated me with courtesy. I can swear to heaven that we are innocent."

Xuan Ji was so eager to defend herself that she even resorted to swearing.

She wasn't lying. The two were too familiar with each other, and with the relationship of Junior Brother Xiaohuzi, Lu Jing really couldn't bring himself to make a move on Xuan Ji. But since he had run into Xuan Ji's book, Lu Jing certainly couldn't mistreat a friend.

So he did everything he could to help Xuan Ji, not only helping her get rid of the shackles of her family, but also giving her a lakeside courtyard and five thousand scrolls of books. In addition, he also fulfilled her childhood wish of opening a bookstore.

He was just like some blue, fat guy with a pocket on his body.

Lu Jing felt that he had done a great job, but he never expected how much impact this combination of actions would have on Xuan Ji.

The Xuan Ji in the book didn't know him. Lu Jing started from scratch, raising Xuan Ji's favorability to the maximum, and without asking for anything in return, he eventually drifted away.

He certainly didn't touch even Xuan Ji's little finger, but it was like using a welding torch to deeply weld his name onto Xuan Ji's heart.

Moreover, the more Xuan Ji thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She recalled what happened in the book, and also confirmed again that Lu Jing really didn't have any thoughts about her. However, this also led to her now being completely in a crush, even worse than Xia Huai and Wen Xiaochuan.

Thinking of this, Xuan Ji only felt a dizziness and almost fainted again.

Fortunately, Xia Huai supported her in time and asked with concern, "How are you? Is your body not completely recovered? Do you want to rest again?"

Xuan Ji's mind was now as chaotic as paste, and she indeed needed to be quiet. Hearing this, she went along with the flow and lay down again, but she also knew that Xia Huai and Wen Xiaochuan were still worried about Lu Jing.

So after lying down, she took the initiative to say, "Great Hero Lu… he should be temporarily out of danger, but it will be difficult for him to come out for a while."

"Is there anything we can do?" Xia Huai asked.

Xuan Ji shook her head. "The academy has a lot of research on [Gui Zi Sixty-Six], but it hasn't shown similar abilities before. Even if we report the matter to the Sitianjian now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a solution in a short time."

"What if [Gui Zi Sixty-Six] doesn't release Lu Jing? Wouldn't he be trapped in the book forever?" Wen Xiaochuan frowned.

"This situation shouldn't happen. After all, there are only ten thousand books in the Zangshu."

"What will happen if all ten thousand books are rewritten by Lu Jing?" Wen Xiaochuan asked again.

"This… I don't know either."

Xia Huai was thinking about another question. "When will Lu Jing have to rewrite ten thousand books? Won't it take three to five years?"

"It shouldn't take that long," Xuan Ji said, "Do you remember how much time passed from when I fainted to when you carried me up here?"

"Less than half a cup of tea, right?"

Wen Xiaochuan counted on her fingers, "Half a cup of tea for one book, less than three hundred books a day. Wouldn't it take at least a month to rewrite ten thousand books? But Su Tixue didn't tell you that the Zangshu would reopen in at most seven days? At that time, those books outside will also have to be taken back."

"No, those books must not be taken back before Lu Jing escapes," Xia Huai said decisively. "Otherwise, what he has to rewrite will not be ten thousand novels."

"Then we can only report this matter to Huang Jianyuan and Su Tixue," Xuan Ji sighed. "At that time, you should tell the truth, saying that Great Hero Lu took this risk to help me make up for my lost hand. If Huang Jianyuan and Su Tixue have any blame, I will bear it all."

"Don't rush, let's wait for seven days first."

A voice came from the stairs, and Yan Yun also came up from below.

She waited in the white mist for a while, and when no other enemies appeared, she went upstairs.

On the way upstairs, she heard the three women's discussion, so she said, "If Lu Jing hasn't come out after seven days, then we will report this matter to Huang Jianyuan and let the Zangshu close for another month."

Her appearance also gave the three women a sense of backbone. Neither Xia Huai nor Xuan Ji had any objections, and Wen Xiaochuan was even more relieved.

… … … …

On the other side, Lu Jing, who was still fighting in the book, was completely unaware of what was happening outside. He was currently immersed in the fun of RPG.

Since crossing over, his life had undergone earth-shattering changes. PC and host, no longer had any relationship with him, and even the serialized online novels were gone.

Although there were storybooks in this era, it had to be said that the market trend and the background of the times were very different from his previous life. Lu Jing casually flipped through a few books and felt bored.

So when he found himself coming to the book, he was not only not panicked, but also quite happy, completely treating these worlds as interactive novels, and showing his skills in them, forcibly turning artistic treasures into cheesy, refreshing novels.

And the most important thing was that Lu Jing would not be troubled by the refreshing of secret power and internal power here.

So although his internal power and secret cauldron were gone, he was a little happy and found the carefree joy of playing games all night long for two months after the end of the college entrance examination.

Controlling one account after another, shuttling through different stories, experiencing completely different lives, Lu Jing even completely forgot the passage of time, until finally he came to a Zangshu.
