Ling looked at Liam fixedly, as if asking for an explanation.
"Me-why do you see me like that?" asked Liam nervously. He was not used to eye contact with Ling this close.
"Where have you ever seen a paper like that?" ask Ling.
Liam glanced to the upper right, trying to remember something. "If it's not my fault my grandfather showed it to me" Liam replied.
Ling just nodded. He went back to reading his book. His eyes moved quickly to read the entire book. Sometimes he compared it to the thick book he had brought.
Isn't that just a regular paper tear? Why does he seem interested? inner Liam.
Liam left Ling at the table and searched around for another book. He chose to take the potion book. After that he returned to the table where Ling was.
"Do you really not want to accept students?" ask Liam to hope. He opened the book he had just picked up.
"No," Ling answered briefly still focusing on his book.
"I can protect you if someone insults you. They wouldn't dare mess with you if you were around me" Liam told Ling.
"I don't need your protection" Ling replied. His words were very piercing to Liam.
It does. With Ling's strength, he doesn't need anyone's protection. Even Liam felt safe if he was with Ling. People are afraid of Liam because of his family background. If comparing strength, Ling was certainly stronger.
"alright. But if I ask you will answer, right?" liam asked still pleading.
"Sure," Ling replied. He had read the last page of the book. He got out of his chair and went to the bookshelf looking for another book.
First he went to the economic shelf. He sorted out the books he needed to re-learn. After all, he had not studied for a long time. Most of them were in the field of battle and the laboratory.
After getting some books, he headed to the medicine section shelf. There are many books on ancient medicine. It was very important to him. He also chose several modern medical books to increase his knowledge.
Next he moved to the language section shelf. He wanted to add a collection for light reading of his ancient language. With the ability of his photographic memory, he already understood the symbols of ancient languages. He just needs to train himself again.
The pile of books is already on the table. Liam just gaped at Ling's nature.
"You're gonna borrow all these books? You're gonna read all these books?" liam asked still with his surprised expression.
"Yes, this is just for light reading," Ling replied casually. His eyes were still sweeping through the hundreds of books that were in front of him.
Liam didn't react. He said this much book is for light reading? Genius kids are different.
"Is there a limit to borrowing books? When should these books be returned?" asked Ling compiling the book. He was still thinking about how to carry it all.
"Because you have a VVIP access card, there are no restrictions. Book refunds are a maximum of a month" Liam replied. "But I've never seen anyone borrow hundreds of books" Liam sighed.
"Now you see it. Hurry up and get your driver to help you lift this up" Ling said.
"Before that you have to take note of any books you borrow" Liam told the newspaper.
"Alright," Ling nodded. Liam escorted him to the registrar at the library.
"Young Master, how can I help you?" ask the officer politely.
"I want to borrow a book. Can you take a note?" ask Liam.
"certain. But where's the book you're going to borrow?" the officer asked, puzzled to see that they were not carrying any books.
"You can just bring him here sir," the officer replied politely.
"Ah this .. come with us. You'll understand" Liam and Ling returned to their room followed by the officer.
When he opened the door, there was no doubt that the officer was very surprised. "Tu-Master, you want to borrow all this?" the officer asked still glaring at the pile of books before him.
"Yes. We have a VVIP access card so there is no borrowing limit. His card. You can start taking notes," Liam replied as he handed Ling an access card.
"Well Young Master," the clerk immediately recorded Ling's loan book one by one.
The other library workers helped them carry the books in Liam's car. Awe-inspiring and strange gazes appeared when they saw this incident. Even though it was Wuzhou, he had never borrowed this many books.
Isn't he Chen Ling's trash? How could he be so diligent in reading all these books?
The book was finished in the afternoon. Ling gave the clerk 200 coins as a tip.
"Thank you Young Master. This is equivalent to my salary for a week" the officer bowed respectfully.
Ling also gave the other attendant who lifted the book 100 coins each. They bowed respectfully to Ling. After that they escorted Ling and Liam out of the library. A big smile adorned their faces.
"Isn't this too much?" whispered Ling to Liam.
"No. It should be so," Liam replied smiling.
Liam's black car sped through the city streets. They headed for the Chen family residence.
A moment after that, gossip began to appear in the library.
"Isn't Young Master Chen Ling very handsome? He was even very good at giving me a tip of 200 coins," said the registrar, holding a bag of cloth containing coins.
"really. I didn't expect him to borrow all those books either. Has he changed? It was not just his appearance that changed, his intelligence as well" said another officer who received a tip of 100 coins.
"Huhhe's it's just imaging. He borrowed books just to boost his reputation. She couldn't possibly defeat my Young Master Luo Wuzhou" said the female librarian who had earlier snarled at Ling.
"And the money? He only knew how to spend his parents' property" the woman's officer continued. His eyes stared sinisterly at the other officer.
"Let's go. He looked very envious" whispered the registrar to the other officer. They immediately left the female officer alone. While the female officer stood upset in her place.

A few minutes later they had already reached the Chen family residence. There was Uncle Qian who had already welcomed them in front of the door. He looked at Liam with a smile.
"Young Master Zhuo, come have dinner with our family" Uncle Qian said politely.
Liam responded smiling. "All right."
Liam and Ling entered the house and headed straight for the dining table. It was actually not time for dinner time yet, so they were just snacking on the pastries that Uncle Qian had brought.
"Wow this is so good! Uncle can I take him home? The best cookies I've ever eaten!" said Liam spirit. He ate the cookies with gourmet food.
"Of course Young Master Zhuo. I will have the ministry to make it for you," Uncle Qian replied. He'll be back in the kitchen soon.
"Chen Ling's! Why are you coming home late?" snarled a man with a heavy voice.
