Chapter 866: Jealousy, Envy, and Hatred
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
“I am sorry. I have a Master and I cannot enter the Library of Fortune.”
After those words, everyone fell stagnant.
The s.p.a.ce also silenced as a result.
Re… rejected again?
What, what is this!
Everyone was in awe. The way they looked at Ling Xian was full of horror and also jealousy.
Remember that it is the Library of Fortune!
Enjoying the same kind of treatment as Fairy Wu? Countless people would fight until they bleed just to be a treated like a normal pupil!
Or else n.o.body would try to get through a place like the Heavenly Palace. In other words, everyone who enters the Heavenly Palace enters it in an attempt to get into the Library of Fortune. Ling Xian has gotten the opportunity but he rejected the vice dean’s personal invitation, why wouldn’t everyone be shocked?
Why wouldn’t they feel jealous?
All eyes were on Ling Xian and they were spitting fire. They wished they could take his position.
Even those important figures from the Library of Fortune were in awe. They couldn’t believe there would be someone who rejects the Library of Fortune.
Especially the person who personally invited Ling Xian, Wu Dao Zi, had an expression of pure shock on his face. Only after some time did he regain his consciousness. However, despite this, there remained some surprise in his gaze.
Remember that he is the vice dean of the Library of Fortune. In the entire Tianzhou, he was a famous and important character. Yet, even after he made so many promises and personally invited Ling Xian, he was still rejected. That was unbelievable!
“What did you say? Say it again.”
Wu Dao Zi couldn’t focus. He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Hearing this, Ling Xian softly smiled, “I said, I already have a Master and cannot join the Library of Fortune.”
What the f!ck!
Rejected again! This was the third time!
Everyone cursed beneath their breath. This time, however, they didn’t exactly stagnate because they were already numb.
If the first time couldn’t represent Ling Xian’s resolve, and neither can the second time, then the third time speaks volumes.
He has actually declined the Library of Fortune. He had declined Wu Dao Zi’s personal invitation!
Everyone was jealous to the extreme and speechless to the extreme. They didn’t think there would be someone in this world who could ignore the Library of Fortune.
Yes, ignore.
Everyone could tell that Ling Xian was not an idiot and he wasn’t here because he wanted attention. Because n.o.body would reject such a great opportunity just for attention.
They understand that Ling Xian truly didn’t care about the Library of Fortune, the rare treasures, or the inheritances.
What did this indicate?
It meant Ling Xian had enough guts, and it meant he could ignore the Library of Fortune!
Remember that the Library of Fortune is one of the top forces in Tianzhou. It is the holy ground that countless cultivators dream of!
Yet Ling Xian had ignored them. That was unbelievable!
Everyone was extremely envious at this. Especially after remembering how they fought using all their strength to get into the Library of Fortune as a pupil, they became extremely envious of how Ling Xian overlooked the Library.
“If people are compared with each other, they’d die from agony. If objects are compared, they’d have to be thrown out.”
A young man couldn’t help but exclaim, which garnered much agreement. Sighs arose one after another, full of exclaims.
The Heaven’s Favorites elders from the Library all exchanged glances and bitterly smiled while shaking their heads.
They have lived for centuries but they have yet to witness such a warm invitation from the vice dean. They truly never expected Ling Xian to completely ignore the Library of Fortune.
Originally, they all thought Ling Xian’s intention was to get into the Library of Fortune but now, they finally understood that Ling Xian just wanted to test himself.
Or in other words, he was treating the Heavenly Palace as his sharpener!
After realizing this, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim just how confident he had to be to be able to defeat the Heavenly Palace that so many heroes tried to get past. The Palace was truly like a sharpener.
“Aye, I cannot believe you are actually declining the Library of Fortune.”
Wu Dao Zi sighed. His eyes, other than pity, also had a trace of admiration.
He knew very well how highly valued he was and how tempting the Library of Fortune was. Even then, he was rejected by Ling Xian. How unexpected was that?
Of course, disappointment was bound to happen. After all, a Heaven’s Favorite like Ling Xian is someone every force would want. It would brighten their image.
But he was merely disappointed. He didn’t blame Ling Xian.
There was no rule that every person who pa.s.ses through the Heavenly Palace needs to join the Library of Fortune. In other words, joining or not depends on the intention of the one who barges in. It just happened that after so many years of n.o.body being able to get past the Palace, the one person who did declined it.
If he becomes unpleasant because of Ling Xian’s rejection than Wu Dao Zi isn’t worthy enough to be at the fifth level.
“I am sorry. I merely came to test how strong I am,” Ling Xian said apologetically.
He truly wasn’t just treating the Library of Fortune lightly. He merely thought entering the Library would be no help to his growth.
Therefore, why would he limit himself?
Plus, Ling Xian firmly believed that he didn’t need the Library of Fortune to walk the Path of Endeavors. He only needed hard work.
“It’s fine.”
Wu Dao Zi waved his hand and said pitifully, “Finding you is the Library of Fortune’s luck. Being declined is the fate of the Library of Fortune.”
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled but didn’t say more.
Against someone from the fifth level, he remained as calm as ever. He truly was desirable.
“You are a dragon out of a group of people.”
Wu Dao Zi exclaimed, “Oh well. The door to the Library of Fortune is open for you always. As long as you want, you can come any time.”
“Then I thank you.”
Ling Xian was being polite. He never thought of joining the Library of Fortune but since Wu Dao Zi was in a position as high as the vice dean and he has invited him so many times, then he had to treat this seriously.
If he doesn’t treat this seriously then he would be impolite.
“Pity, such a pity.”
Dao Wu Zi appeared pitiful, “If you join the Library of Fortune, you would become the second Fairy Wu.”
“I have heard her name many times, I wonder if she is here?”
Ling Xian grinned. Ever since he heard the name Wu Ning Cheng from Wen Ru Yu, he has continuously heard this name. Naturally he was curious to see just what this Fairy Wu was capable of.
“She is here but she is in isolation.”
Wu Dao Zi’s eyes shone and he refused to let go of any opportunity that might entice Ling Xian. “If you want to see her, then you can wait a few days here. You are both top notch Heaven’s Favorites and I am sure you will get along.”
“There’s no need. If it’s meant to be, I will meet her.” Ling Xian waved his hand with a smile. It wasn’t that he had to see Fairy Wu, he was merely curious.
Just then, a white crane flew out from the Library of Fortune. Its body was pure white, untainted, and holy.
At once, everyone was stunned.
Then, everyone began to speak and question in surprise.
“That is… Fairy Wu’s white crane?”
