As for Su Junyu reading novels during the trial, Wang Qi was initially quite annoyed.
However, Su Junyu truly lived up to his rich reputation; the meditation cushion was an equipment of assured quality, though not very useful. It stayed firmly behind the group, so there was no worry about losing it.
As for reading detective novels... perhaps it was also a form of cultivation?
Wang Qi's guess was based on the Grand Dao that Su Junyu truly delved into: Bai Ze's Calculation. The principle of the Law from the Wanfa Sect was actually a concept by Bai Ze God Monarch: as long as one knows enough conditions, one could deduce all cause and effect. Su Junyu could completely deduce the ending by collecting scattered information within the lines of the detective novels.
