Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

The burly man at the entrance of the building looked at the jade pendant in Li Qing's hand, his eyes fixed on it, and he respectfully bowed.

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, the two successfully made it upstairs.

The space on the second floor is smaller than that on the first floor, and there are fewer books.

Upon reaching the top floor, only a large table remained, with a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Windows opened on all eight sides, allowing one to stand within and survey the surrounding landscape. Below, one could see the vast expanse of Luoyang, with the Luo River winding around the city and the distant, boundless, misty mountains.

A strong wind blew, and the copper bells on the flying horn rang crisply.

Li Qing felt overwhelmed with emotion and wanted to express it, but found himself at a loss for words, so he could only let out a sigh of relief.

If this were in later generations, he would definitely howl like a wolf several times before he would stop!

As the two were about to descend the steps the way they came, they suddenly noticed a side gate to the side.

As soon as the door opened, one could see the lake view behind the octagonal building, with several large houses with black tiles and white walls clustered around the pavilion, lined up in order.

The most amazing thing is that there is a small wooden ladder leading directly down to it.

The two walked down and looked around at the four large houses, which were the Four Academy named after plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums.

The other gardens were lifeless, except for the plum garden, which was bustling with people.

For some reason, Li Qing felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at his surroundings.

"It seems that I really do have some connection with this library."

After a brief look, the two left the library. Apart from the young man who kept glaring at them, everything around was quiet, and no one noticed that these two "idlers" had sneaked into the library.

Luoyang University is a very large university. The two of them wandered around for most of the day. Apart from seeing something new in the library, they didn't see anything else. Li Qing, on the other hand, was speechless as he looked at the exquisite objects piled up in his hands and on his shoulders.

Perhaps due to her martial arts training, Li Linzhi's fighting ability has increased exponentially!

Fortunately, Li Qing was experienced and had developed a strong heart by following his mother, who loved shopping, in his later years; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

As darkness fell and fewer people appeared, the two began to walk back.

Just as Li Qing turned the corner of an alley, he suddenly saw a child running straight towards him—

"Ouch!"

The child touched his head, got up, and was about to continue running.

Suddenly, a fierce-looking burly man appeared, shouting, "You little brat, let's see where you run now!"

Knowing he could no longer escape, the boy glanced at the two people in front of him. When he saw the short sword and long whip at the girl's waist, his eyes lit up. He grabbed Li Linzhi's leg and said in a childish voice, "Sister, this is the bad guy. He's going to kidnap me and sell me!" As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears, and he pretended to be very pitiful.

"So you guys are in the same group!"

The burly man was also reckless; without asking any questions, he went straight for the child's clothes.

"Humph!"

"Ouch! That hurts so much!"

The burly man was kicked to the ground by the girl and cried out in pain.

The little boy stared in disbelief at Li Linzhi's still-outstretched, delicate little feet. He hadn't expected his randomly chosen older sister to be so fierce.

"Forget it, I guess I'm just unlucky!" The big man knew he had met a master today, so he didn't bother to put on airs. He glared at the boy and got up to leave quickly.

"Haha, sister is amazing!"

"That's right!" The girl, who was probably always being put down by Li Qing, immediately beamed with joy upon hearing the boy's flattery.

"Big sister, I'm leaving now, my parents are waiting!" she said, patting the dust off her clothes before turning to go.

"You're just leaving like that? You're so small, your older sister must be worried. Why don't we take you home?" Li Qing looked at the little boy in front of her with ill intent.

The child in front of him was only a few years old, yet he spoke so clearly and logically, which surprised Li Qing and made him a little hesitant.

Although the big man was fierce, he had a commanding presence in his speech and did not look like a human trafficker at all.

Seeing the determination and doubt in Li Qing's eyes, the little girl became even more generous, "Big brother shows me so much pity, I should naturally agree, but—"

He rubbed his flattened belly and looked at the girl with hopeful eyes.

The girl then realized what was happening, but looking at the child's cute and pitiful appearance, she couldn't bring herself to be cruel, and looked at Li Qing with hope.

"Okay! Let's go get something to eat."

The three of them randomly found a small alley, grabbed a few golden and crispy roasted meat patties, and ate them heartily with the milky white and fragrant mutton fat soup.

"Who are you? You can tell me now." The child was extraordinary, with delicate skin, dressed in brocade and silk, and wearing a cute little tiger-skin hat. He was no ordinary person.

"Um, my name is Di Huaiying." The little boy ate heartily, swallowing a mouthful before casually saying this.

“Di Huaiying? Never heard of him! Why don’t you just say your name is Di Renjie?” Li Qing said irritably.

"Hmm—my name is Di Renjie, how did you know?" The boy looked at Li Qing with a puzzled expression. "Huaiying is my courtesy name."

"Pfft—Your name is Di Renjie, haha, then I am..."

Li Qing was about to burst into laughter when his face suddenly froze. He remembered that this was the Tang Dynasty, and while he didn't know exactly when the historical Di Renjie was born, he was probably around this age. Besides, nobody recognized the famous 'Di Renjie' these days, so there seemed to be no need to impersonate him.

"One should not speak while eating!" The boy looked at Li Qing, who had a rude and vicious appearance, with disgust and shook his head.

"Are you that little Di Renjie? What are you doing here!"

Looking at the future pillar of the Tang Dynasty and the little man in front of him who was destined to be remembered for eternity, Li Qing felt a strange sense of absurdity for some reason!

"Do you believe I can tell fortunes?"

The boy rolled his eyes at Li Qing, and even the girl gave Li Qing a strange look, wondering if he was possessed by some kind of charlatan.

"Don't you believe me? I can't judge others accurately, but you, little boy, I see that your altar is adorned with purple light, indicating that you were born into a noble and extraordinary family. As you walk, purple energy gathers and disperses, appearing and disappearing between your eyebrows, suggesting that you will be a great figure sitting in a high position! However, I see that your nose is straight but has some bumps, indicating that you will surely experience many hardships in the future!"

Li Qing looked like a charlatan, stretched out his hand, and tried to stroke my chin, but then suddenly remembered something and awkwardly lowered his hand...

Not far away, by a food stall, two strange men were looking at Li Qing with odd expressions.

"Hey lazybones, did he really learn your Taoist divination techniques?"

The other person glanced at the child next to Li Qing with a serious expression. "That child is indeed no ordinary person!"

He gently waved his palm-leaf fan and added, "I don't know if he understands divination, but I know that kid is absolutely talking nonsense right now!"

"Although that kid is a bit strange, I still don't know how you, a bald monk who always hates trouble, managed to snag such a good deal! A whole gourd of fine wine, just like that, you gave it to me!" His tone was so resentful, it seemed he was still eyeing the monk's gourd of fine wine!

The senior monk was so aggrieved!

Do you think it's easy for me, a monk? If I didn't owe someone a favor I can't repay, why would I be so eager to ask for help? If I didn't still owe this kid half a gourd of wine in that dilapidated temple that day, I, the monk...
