Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"Brother Gong, should we wait until the Dean comes out of seclusion before reporting this matter?"

At this moment, an elder spoke up.

Gong Jiuren is not the actual dean, but only the vice dean.

Dean Yan Zhanyu had gone into seclusion several years ago and had not come out since, which is why Gong Jiuren was appointed to act as dean.

"There's no need for such a fuss. Even if the dean emerges from seclusion, would he deny such a great achievement?"

Gong Jiuren smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Gu Xuan, Qin Lin, and Xu Caiwei also made contributions. The academy's library will be open to the three of them for half a month to recognize their achievements."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Go down!"

"Thank you, Dean Gong!"

Gu Xuan gave a proper bow, and Qin Lin hurriedly followed. Only Xu Caiwei bit her lower lip and remained still, but the elders in the hall did not pay attention to her. After Gu Xuan finished her bow, she gently pulled her and walked out of the main hall.

"You're very dissatisfied, aren't you?"

As they walked out of the main hall, Gu Xuan spoke.

Xu Caiwei gritted her teeth and asked, "Why?"

Gu Xuan sighed and said, "Junior sister, people are different. You can't be rewarded just for making meritorious contributions, nor can you get a return for your efforts. There are many things in this world that transcend right and wrong, such as one's background and one's interests!"

"Cultivate diligently. Your battle spirit is very strong; perhaps you still have a chance."

After saying that, she left.

Xu Caiwei stood there, suddenly feeling a chill and loneliness. She subconsciously picked up the sword in her hand.

"Is that so?"

She asked the question instinctively.

"There are no fixed rules in the world; it is divided according to strength and weakness."

Li Lan spoke calmly, saying, "It's normal for the weak to be unable to protect their own interests."

"Fairness and justice have always been upheld by strength."

strength!

Xu Caiwei seemed to understand something. She gritted her teeth and said, "I understand!"

She immediately turned around and headed towards the library.

She desperately wanted to become stronger!

Li Lan, however, chuckled inwardly. In truth, if Xu Caiwei had been braver in the main hall, spoken the truth, and dared to argue openly, Luo Yu and her grandmother might not have been able to take away what belonged to Xu Caiwei.

But Xu Caiwei was still too young and too kind.

Kind people have a flaw—they can easily have what belongs to them taken away by others.

However, Li Lan was unwilling to interfere too much. Everyone needs to grow on their own, and these experiences were necessary for Xu Caiwei.

He was quite looking forward to the library of Nantian Academy!

……

"Grandma, I still want her battle spirit!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Yu was holding her grandmother's hand, acting coquettishly, and said, "Her battle spirit is very strong, and she may have been a sword master before. If I can get her, I will definitely shine after I enter the Dao Palace!"

The old woman affectionately stroked her granddaughter's hair and said, "Alright, alright, as long as Yu'er likes it, Grandma will find a way to give it to you."

"really?"

Luo Yuxin was overjoyed, "Grandma, you're so kind!"

……

The Scripture Repository of Nantian Academy occupies a large area, with three floors, and contains countless cultivation scriptures and other materials.

Generally speaking, only the first level is open to ordinary disciples on weekdays. It was only because Xu Caiwei and others made contributions this time that they were qualified to enter the second and third levels.

Because it was Xu Caiwei's battle spirit, Li Lan was also allowed to enter.

"I'll go take a look around by myself."

Li Lan greeted Xu Caiwei and then began to wander around.

Li Lan possessed extremely strong divine sense; wherever he went, he could understand the contents of books without even needing to look them up.

The first layer mostly contains basic cultivation knowledge and techniques.

"The cultivation system is indeed different from that of the underworld."

Li Lan found it quite interesting; in the mortal realm, cultivation levels could be divided into nine major realms:

Nine lines undergo dramatic changes, eight trigrams take shape, seven orifices emit light, six internal organs contain spiritual energy, five viscera communicate with the divine, four symbols evolve together, three give birth to all things, two polarities divide light, and one thought returns to the origin!

Some ancient texts mention that the path to immortality through Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Nascent Soul, and Dao Integration belongs to the ancient cultivation system and is no longer possible in the present age.

However, after returning to the origin of one's thoughts, one will also face the legendary state of "bewilderment"!
