Chapter 1292: Parting
Chen Changsheng placed the book back on the shelf. Stepping aside, he saw the old eunuch's face clearly in the moonlight spilling into the room.
He was incredibly old, his face mapped with heavy wrinkles and his eyes slightly protruding. An ordinary person would surely have jumped in fright, but eunuchs were all like this. Men whose roots had been severed aged into something vastly different from ordinary people.
"This Chen is looking for books on ancient history. Do you know where they might be?"
The old eunuch paused, then said, "Follow me."
He led Chen Changsheng over.
He pulled out a few books and handed them to him.
"Thank you."
The old eunuch asked, "Are you not leaving? We are about to close the doors."
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "It only just got dark, and you are already closing the doors?"
