She and Yao Yao could not form a team, and amongst the remaining people, Hua Ke came in as a servant, so he was not included in the competition. Jiang Shiyu thought for a bit and prepared to find Shen San.
Shen San did not even look at her. He rubbed the dog's head from time to time. His face was still cold, but his eyes were much gentler.
Jiang Shiyu said: "Then, we …"
Along with Jiang Shiyu's words was another voice. Jiang Shiyu was startled, and turned to look at that figure. "Cheng Yu."
Cheng Yu was still wearing his silvery-white mask, with a pair of deep black eyes looking at her, "Are we participating together?"
"Hmm?"
Without waiting for Jiang Shiyu's reply, she walked forward and dragged her out.
Shen San held onto the bowl, walked up to Jiang Shiyu and grabbed his other wrist, "I asked first." He threw a soft and indifferent glance at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu let go of his hand and asked Jiang Shiyu with a smile: "Who are you teaming up with?"
There was no need to choose this question.
The little mutt had nothing to eat, so its front paws were grabbing onto Shen San's clothes, trying to get enough of the bowl in Shen San's hands.
Shen San let go of Jiang Shiyu's wrist and continued to feed the dog.
Jiang Shiyu sighed, "Where are you going?"
Cheng Yu said: "Follow me."
Jiang Shiyu had not seen Cheng Yu for a long time, so she asked him: "Where did you go during this time?"
Cheng Yu brought Jiang Shiyu to the large plaza in front of the Nine Heavens Academy. At this time, the plaza was empty, and there was not a single person.
The two of them walked to the registration area for the competition.
Registration didn't require anyone to remember who was in the team. The two of them agreed that they could come here and just write down their names on the promotional paper.
This kind of paper was specially made. Once a name was written on it, it couldn't be smeared. As such, no one could go back on their words after making a decision.
Even an ordinary pen wouldn't be able to write down such a paper. One could only use soul power to control the Dao, and write down the name on the paper.
After Cheng Yu finished writing, the space beside him became empty, and he nodded to Jiang Shiyu: "Go ahead and write."
Jiang Shiyu looked up, on the paper, there were already many names, two of them were close to each other.
Jiang Shiyu looked from top to bottom, and didn't move for a long time.
Cheng Yu patiently waited for her.
Two months ago, when Jiang Shiyu woke up, she found the soul power in her body to be difficult to circulate.
She was careful not to cut the paper or write it down.
The two people beside her were both empty. She made a mistake when she wrote the brush and got close to Cheng Yu.
The two people's names seemed to be the same person, and Cheng Yu also laughed: "It's been a while since we last met, and your words have regressed quite a bit."
Jiang Shiyu wanted to tell him about what happened before, but his brain was still a mess.
"Well, it's not good." Jiang Shiyu said.
Cheng Yu indicated for her to look at the time, "We'll meet again at the plaza in two days."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave when Jiang Shiyu anxiously stopped him, "Where are you going?"
Cheng Yu stroked his chin, "I'm also a student of the Nine Heavens Academy. At this time, I naturally have to go to the library."
"Why didn't I see you? This year's exam. " Jiang Shiyu guessed, "Are you already in the Nine Heavens Academy?"
"Yes." Didn't Yao Yao tell you before? " Cheng Yu rose up and actually talked about Yao Yao.
Yao Yao had said too many things, she couldn't possibly remember every single one of them.
Cheng Yu said with a smile, "When she went to see you, did she tell you that a person had appeared in Nine Heavens Academy and had finished reading the entire Book Collection Hall within ten years?"
Jiang Shiyu was startled, "Where were you at that time?"
"I wasn't there. I just happened to pass by. I heard you."
Cheng Yu was still heading towards the library. Jiang Shiyu had also followed along, she was supposed to go there anyway.
"You mean... You are the person who finished reading all of the books in the library in these ten years. "
Cheng Yu laughed lightly: "You're right, but unfortunately there is no reward."
When Jiang Shiyu thought about that competition, even if she won, there would be no prizes. Even if they formed a team with Cheng Yu after he finished reading the books in the library and won first place, it would still be meaningless.
"In other words, you have already been in the Nine Heavens Academy for at least ten years." Jiang Shiyu said in shock.
"Thirteen years." Cheng Yu said casually.
"Then what are you still doing here?"
"Waiting for you."
Jiang Shiyu was startled, "Wait for me?"
The two of them had already arrived in front of the library. Cheng Yu pointed at the library, "Look carefully at the books inside, they will be beneficial to you in the future."
After which, he turned around and walked into the library.
Jiang Shiyu was startled for a moment, but when she went back in, she could no longer find Cheng Yu. She could not call Cheng Yu, so she could only calm her mind and read her books.
I'll see you again in two days.
These two days, Jiang Shiyu had completely forgotten to eat and sleep while reading books. She wanted to make up for the delay in the competition two days later, but she knew in the bottom of her heart that even if she made up for it, she wouldn't be able to finish reading the books in the next few days.
On the surface, Cheng Yu's arrival didn't seem to affect Jiang Shiyu at all. If she wanted to read, she would go to the library. If she wanted to sleep, then she would sleep.
But Jiang Shiyu only knew how it tasted like. She would come back to her senses from time to time when she was reading. Sleep was also a dream. In the past two days, she hadn't read much and the people around her had become more haggard.
In the large plaza of Nine Heavens Academy, the place was bustling with noise and excitement. The normally quiet Nine Heavens Academy was currently in an uproar. The people who had slept on the floor of the library for a long time also popped their heads out and started to chat in the public square.
Yao Yao pulled the spiritless Jiang Shiyu and squeezed into the crowd.
In front of them, there were already people maintaining order as they loudly shouted, "One against one, write your name down here. If you win, draw your name and go up to fight."
Jiang Shiyu and Yao Yao squeezed for a long time before they finally saw what it was. All the people who had signed up were spread out on different arenas. Each arena had two or three matches. Those who won would continue to compete with the other victors. They knew that this arena would compete to be first, then fight with the others.
Jiang Shiyu grabbed Yao Yao, and the two of them came out again, "Yao Yao, who will you team up with?"
Yao Yao looked around, "I looked for Shen San, but didn't see him. "What about you?"
Jiang Shiyu purposely did not say it directly, "Take a guess."
Yao Yao scoffed, "I knew it since a long time ago, is this Cheng Yu?"
"Why are you asking me when you already know it!" Jiang Shiyu rolled her eyes at Yao Yao.
Yao Yao shouted, "Jiang Shiyu, I realize that you have truly changed! You really have changed. "Why did you learn from me now? Your eyes really turn white." As she spoke, she began to laugh loudly.
Jiang Shiyu also laughed and looked for Cheng Yu in the crowd.
