Chapter 355: A Small Favor; A New Deal
"Follow me. There’s a formation here—don’t stray." Dongfang Yao instructed.
Lin Moyu stayed close, matching Dongfang Yao's footsteps through the secret realm.
Moments later, the scenery shifted, and they emerged from the formation’s boundary. The fragrant aroma of tea filled the air. Ahead, a tea table was arranged neatly, an old man reclining comfortably in a chair beside it.
Though his demeanor bore some resemblance to Meng Anwen’s, Lin Moyu thought Meng Anwen seemed more natural.
Dongfang Yao stepped forward briskly, pouring a cup of hot tea for the old man, "Grandpa Li, this is Lin Moyu, the one I mentioned. Do you remember?"
Dongfang Li nodded, a faint smile on his lips, "Yao, my memory hasn’t failed me yet."
With a wave of his hand, several ancient books floated off a nearby shelf, landing softly on the tea table. Their worn covers exuded an aura of antiquity.
Dongfang Li closed his eyes, speaking firmly, "These books—you have one day. Read them here."
Lin Moyu frowned slightly. Dongfang Li, this God-level powerhouse, carried an air of aloofness that bordered on arrogance.
His gaze shifted to the bookshelf, where hundreds of similar books sat. Yet, the old man had offered him only a small selection—a mere fraction.
Lin Moyu’s expression turned cold. Given the circumstances, he questioned whether reading the books was even worthwhile.
Dongfang Yao, noticing the change in his demeanor, leaned in and whispered something to Dongfang Li.
