Return of the Phoenix Lady

"Well, have you finished reading it?" Han Xing nodded in understanding and asked.

"Well, I read half of it last time, and I just finished it these days. However, it's still a little short of the mark for advancement, so I just waited for you to come together." Jin Yifeng replied.

"Oh, then you continue to rest. I'll go check it out. It'll be done soon!" Han Xing nodded again and dove back into the pile of books. See, what does "it'll be done soon" mean? If anyone else heard this conversation, they would be shocked. You know, that's the seventeenth floor of the library! Every book there is a treasure that everyone would fight to get on the market. Even those with better talent would find it difficult to understand those books within the tenth floor, let alone above ten. It's simply too difficult. As expected, geniuses are incomparable to ordinary people, let alone a peerless genius like Han Xing.

Jin Yifeng sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his chin with one hand and the other hand placed casually. He narrowed his dark eyes and stared at Han Xing without blinking. The corner of his mouth held a perfect smile that was rarely seen in a century, as if his heart was satisfied just by looking at the little man in front of him.

Han Xing naturally felt Jin Yifeng's gaze, but the matter at hand was more important, and the rest could be discussed later.

Han Xing was seen flipping through the books in front of her quickly, one after another. Occasionally, her beautiful eyebrows were frowned, as if she encountered a difficult problem, but after a moment, her eyebrows would slowly relax and she would continue to read quickly.

"Huh~" Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief, closed the last book, and gently put it back on the bookshelf. She turned her eyes slightly and saw Jin Yifeng still looking at her with a smile. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, why are you looking at me all the time?"

"I like it." Jin Yifeng replied with a chuckle, and then continued, "Have you finished reading it?"

Han Xing nodded, and Jin Yifeng asked again: "Do you want to advance?"

"Almost." "Well, let's go up!" "Okay."

So the two of them went up to the eighteenth floor together.

"You guys!" Just as Han Xing went upstairs, before he had time to take a look, a male voice accompanied by surprise and disbelief sounded.

Han Xing looked towards the source of the sound and found it was Chu Longhui. Turning his head again, he caught a glimpse of Bai Mi and Bai Xin sitting on the ground and practicing with great concentration.

"Xinghan, how did you get up here? Jin Yifeng, how did you bring him up here?" Chu Longhui, who has always been conceited, doesn't believe that a freshman can reach the eighteenth floor when he enters the library for the first time. That is simply a fantasy! Jin Yifeng must have used some method to bring him up here, so he taught him in the tone of an elder: "Xinghan, you must be down-to-earth in life. Only by practicing diligently can you gain true strength. Don't think that you can just rely on Jin Yifeng to help you. With your strength, even if you come up here and can't understand anything, then everything will be useless. It is better to study the books here layer by layer, thoroughly, even if it's only a few layers. It doesn't matter. That will benefit you a lot. Don't think that you can learn advanced spells just by coming up here. With your aptitude, you can't understand any of the books here. What's the point of you coming here? Don't rush for success. Go down quickly and study layer by layer." After scolding Han Xing, as if it wasn't enough, he said to Jin Yifeng: "Jin Yifeng, you are not helping him, but harming him. You are wasting his opportunity to come here and learn knowledge. Do you understand? Don't do it again next time, or I will talk to Principal Bai."

"That's it?" Han Xing said with a gloomy look, her head bent. Who had she offended? She hadn't even finished a single book, and she was being kicked out. Was the fact that she had finished reading all the books below the eighteenth floor so hard to accept?

"That's right, you can go down." Chu Longhui said a little displeased. He hated those who were impractical and didn't know their mistakes the most.

"But uncle, how do you know that I haven't finished reading all the books below?" Han Xing looked at Chu Longhui with an innocent face, and that expression was as innocent as it could be.

Unfortunately, Chu Longhui remained unmoved and continued sternly, "Needless to say? How could a junior freshman like you finish reading all the books and come here in one go? Are you even better than us, the great geniuses?"

"But uncle, just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either!" Han Xing said with a pout.

"You! How could there be a student like you? How could Principal Bai allow someone like you to enter here?" Chu Longhui was obviously annoyed by Han Xing.

"Uncle, isn't there one right in front of you? Also, please don't make personal attacks!"

"You...are so sharp-tongued! I won't argue with you anymore! If you don't behave yourself, don't blame me for being merciless!" Chu Longhui has lost his patience with Han Xing.

"Uncle, do you still want to hit me? How can you do that? You are a genius, and I am just a freshman, right? You are bullying the weak. Aren't you afraid that it will damage your reputation if it gets out?" Han Xing said fearlessly.

"You! Principal Bai was really wrong to accept someone like you who is so naughty and cannot tell right from wrong. I will definitely report this to him and see how he will deal with you! You really have let down Principal Bai's intention to cultivate you!" Chu Longhui said angrily.

Han Xing wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Jin Yifeng. She had no choice but to shut her mouth and step aside.

Jin Yifeng said, "Master Chu, you have misunderstood. The facts are not what you think."

"So what? Don't even mention that he has finished reading all the books below in just over a month with his own strength!" Chu Longhui said coldly.

Jin Yifeng also frowned. He was always arrogant and it was not suitable for him to talk to anyone other than Han Xing, especially since the other party's tone was so aggressive.

A silent cold war ensued, and finally, Han Xing spoke up: "What's the point of saying so much? Why not prove with action whether I have the strength to come here!"

"Hmph~ Do you still want to understand the books here?" Chu Longhui snorted coldly.

"That's right! And I will reach the nineteenth floor before you!" Han Xing smiled confidently.

"Hahahaha... This is the funniest joke I, Chu Longhui, have ever heard in my life!" Chu Longhui laughed as if he really heard a funny joke.

"You'll soon know whether it's a joke or not!" Han Xing said no more and walked towards the bookshelf, while Jin Yifeng also moved forward.

When Chu Longhui saw how fast Han Xing flipped through the pages, he thought he must be bragging. He must be unable to understand anything if he flipped so quickly! So he ignored him and returned to his senses, continuing to absorb valuable knowledge.

When Han Xing closed the last book again, he found that Jin Yifeng had already sat cross-legged and started practicing. It seemed that he was about to advance. But he seemed to be a little short of it.

When he met a pair of eyes filled with coldness and mockery, Chu Longhui said, "What? Can't stand it anymore? How long have you been doing this? You still want to compete with me? I think you are just a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!"

Han Xing glanced at Jin Yifeng lying on the ground and suddenly said, "Tell him when he wakes up that I'm waiting for him upstairs!"

"What?" Chu Longhui was a little slow to react, but when he saw Han Xing stepping up the stairs, he shouted, "Are you crazy? Being bounced down by the barrier is no joke! Without Jin Yifeng, you can't even get up to the next floor!"

Han Xing was too lazy to pay attention to him. Time was running out. He had already used up a lot of time playing with him just now! He had to hurry up.

So, Huo Aoxuan's expression at that time appeared on the equally arrogant Chu Longhui.
