Chapter 21 - Please teach me...

When she left the Tianyi family, she accidentally barged into the restrictions of the Tianyi family. Inside the restrictions, there grew many spiritual plants that looked particularly like vegetables. At the position of their roots, there were marks of the Tianyi family. At that time, she didn't know they were Star-building Grass. She only knew that they were no ordinary things and were non-toxic. Adhering to the principle of causing trouble for the Tianyi family, she immediately picked them all, and even took two plants to eat as vegetables. After having her fill, she wiped off the marks, dried them with her soul power, and hid them, pretending they were dried vegetables. She also bought some real dried vegetables from farmers and mixed them together to avoid arousing suspicion until she walked out of Yongzhou. All in all, she now had a large number of Star-building Grass in her hands, so she wasn't afraid no matter how much money she had to spend. With the endorsement of the headmaster of the Pinglan Star Academy, Lan Zhi no longer had to worry about the medicinal herbs for repairing her divine soul. With her mind at ease, after Rong Keyun helped her suppress the rampaging star power in her divine soul, the pain in her divine soul was also greatly reduced, allowing Lan Zhi to feel physically and mentally relaxed for the first time in a long while. She decided to take advantage of this rare period of time to learn something. However, before learning, she had to find someone to teach her first. During this period of time, the patients who had come to the outer hall had been cured and left one after another. Rong Keyun and Yan Huailè had also shifted their focus to the Medical Cultivation Pavilion. They would only come to the outer hall when they needed to examine her body. Besides her, the only idle person left was Xing Zhi, who was also a patient. So Lan Zhi went to knock on Xing Zhi's door with a glimmer of hope. There was no answer. Lan Zhi walked around the flower bushes and looked towards his window. The window was also tightly closed. Could it be that he had left too? Thinking of his Sea of Consciousness that was so shattered that even Rong Keyun was at a loss what to do, Lan Zhi let out a soft sigh. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, suddenly with a creak, the tightly closed window opened, and the pale golden rays of the setting sun poured in and fell on Xing Zhi. Xing Zhi slightly raised his eyes. His eyes, which were usually extremely calm, were now tinged with the warm golden hue of the setting sun, like a quiet painting that suddenly came to life, truly beautiful. Lan Zhi was overjoyed. She took out a bottle of prepared gift from her sleeve and said, "I almost thought you had left... Are you free? I'd like to treat you to a bottle of Jinzhu Songxia Dew." However, Xing Zhi didn't take it. His gaze swept over the book she was holding in her arms and asked, "What's the matter?" Seeing that he had noticed, Lan Zhi simply stopped beating around the bush. She raised the book and said, "By the way, I'd like to ask you to teach me how to read." She looked at him expectantly and asked, "Is that okay?" Xing Zhi: "..."
