"Achoo." Xiao Ke-er let out a loud sneeze as she looked at the dusty bookshelf in front of her. She then violently threw the cloth in her hand onto the ground.
"I can't take it anymore. How long has it been since I last cleaned up? There's so much dust, it's almost like it's going to drown me in it." Xiao Ke Er said as she jumped down from the bookshelf in dissatisfaction.
"As far as I know, the library has only been cleaned three times since its creation. The last time was six to seven hundred years ago. The dean told us to clean up this place to reduce the penalty, but I don't feel like it has." Xi Yun said with a bitter smile. His face was covered with a golden brocade cloth to keep him from breathing in the dust.
I say, why is there such a thick layer of dust, and also why are we not allowed to use our source of power but only ourselves? Three days have passed, and we've just finished cleaning the twenty shelves, but this library has more than a thousand shelves, and we're not allowed to leave behind our homework. "Xiao Moke leaned against a bookshelf and said dejectedly. Looking at the three-meter tall bookshelf, he felt a sense of helplessness.
Seeing Xiao Ke Er, Xiao Mo Ke and Xi Yun were both tired. Han Xiao quickly used a cloth to clean up the top of the bookshelf he was in charge of and jumped down, "Ke Er, Xi Yun, Xiao Mo Ke, Zhao Xiang, you two can go back and rest first. I'll take care of the rest."
Compared to Xiao Ke Er and the other two who had been carefree since they were young, him and Zhao Xiang, who had been doing household chores since they were young, were much better off.
"Han Xiao, I'm fine. I'm a farmer so I'm used to this kind of work. Let Senior Xi and the others go back and rest." Zhao Xiang wiped the sweat off his face and said with a silly smile.
"Zhao Xiang, Han Xiao, don't underestimate us. Although we have been pampered since we were young, we can still do this kind of thing like wiping bookshelves. Isn't it just wiping bookshelves? Humph, I'll show you my strength right now." After saying that, he straightened his body and landed on the top of the bookshelf to wipe it down seriously.
After Xiao Ke Er and Xi Yun had had enough rest, they each picked up the cloths in their hands and continued to wipe the bookshelves. As for the matter of returning early, no one would talk about it, but seeing them like this, Han Xiao's heart warmed, and he earnestly wiped the bookshelves in front of them with the cloths in his hands.
Although Han Xiao and the others were unwilling, they had no choice but to leave the academy to return to their own residences. Because they had to ensure the progress of their studies, even if the five of them returned to their residences, most of them would still only be able to rest after a period of time passed. In addition, they would also have to spend some time to clean up in the library during the day.
As they adapted to this lifestyle, the speed at which they cleaned the library continued to increase. Starting from the fifth day, they cleaned at a rate of forty shelves a day, and after half a month, more than half of the bookshelves had already been cleaned. However, they still had to tidy up the books, which was not enough time for them.
"There's still another two hours until the academy closes. Han Xiao, let's increase our speed and try to erase a few more bookshelves today." Xi Yun said as he finished wiping the bookshelf in front of him.
"Yeah, we still need to organize these books when we return. Our time is not very good." Han Xiao jumped down from the bookshelf and was about to walk towards the next one when he heard footsteps approaching. He stopped and looked in the direction the voice came from.
"Strange, who else would come at this time?" The four of them heard the sound of footsteps as they jumped down from the bookshelves and looked in the direction the footsteps were coming from.
Ta ta ta * As the footsteps slowly approached, Han Xiao saw a person dressed in purple slowly walking over, but when Han Xiao saw who that person was, his pupils contracted and he froze in place.
"Wang Yang." Han Xiao looked at the purple-clothed youth who was walking towards him, and muttered to himself. A red light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately regained his senses, "This is the Kuang Xiao Continent's Wang Yang, he can't be here, he's just the person who looks like Wang Yang, I can't be here messing things up." Han Xiao told himself in his heart, at the same time allowing himself to slowly recover his calm.
"This junior has already passed the time for the academy to open its doors for students. If you want to borrow books, please come over tomorrow." Xi Yun stepped forward and said.
Hearing Xi Yun's words, the purple-robed youth's lips curled up into a gentle smile. "You must be senior Xi Yun. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the rules of the academy. Since the opening hours are over, I'll be leaving." Not only did the purple-clothed youth not walk away, he instead walked step by step towards Han Xiao. Xi Yun frowned when he saw the purple-clothed youth's actions, but just as he was about to ask, he saw that the purple-clothed youth had already stopped.
"I was curious about Han Xiao originally, but today I saw him as an old friend. If I wasn't too familiar with your eyes, I really wouldn't have recognized you, Ouyang Minghe." The purple-clothed youth gently said, but his eyes were filled with a cold intent.
Seeing the purple-clothed youth's smile and hearing the name Wang Yang, Han Xiao immediately determined that the purple-clothed youth in front of him was Wang Yang, but he couldn't understand why Wang Yang would also be here in the original world.
As if he had seen through Han Xiao's thoughts, Wang Yang let out a light laugh, extended his hand and supported his forehead as he said: "Looks like you're very curious about why I'm here, this is all thanks to you, Ming He, have you forgotten what happened after the car exploded?"
Han Xiao suddenly thought of something that happened after he heard Wang Yang mention the car explosion. He remembered, after the car explosion, the car door next to him was instantly blown apart, because of the hatred in his heart, he used his last breath to reach out and grabbed Wang Yang who was about to leave. At that time, he did not know how he had such strength, he had clearly taken the sleeping pill, but his mind was extremely clear, even when he was unconscious, he held Wang Yang and Wang Yang tightly submerged in the sea of fire.
Thinking about that, the corner of Han Xiao's mouth slightly rose as he looked at Wang Yang and said, "It's such a pity, Wang Yang, you did all that you could think of and ended up being my scapegoat, but I wonder why you came to find me, to reminisce about the past, or to seek revenge?"
"Revenge?" Ming He, as expected, no matter how much time has passed, you are still stupid, I only came here today to see what kind of person Han Xiao really is, and never thought that Han Xiao would be you. However, looking at your appearance, you are doing pretty well here, your appearance actually changed so much. Wang Yang laughed lightly, but every word he said was filled with the pain of prodding Han Xiao.
That night in the prison was the one that he did not want to recall the most, but Wang Yang had to be mentioned again. Although he wanted to kill Wang Yang right now, Han Xiao knew that Wang Yang was not that easy to deal with.
I will repay all that you have done to me. You once said that you would destroy me completely, not only because you wanted to take away everything I have, but also because you wanted me to bear the notoriety of murder and escape from prison after death. You did it before, but this time I will destroy you first. Han Xiao took a step forward and said as he looked Wang Yang in the eye.
Looking at Han Xiao's eyes, Wang Yang suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, he even suspected that the person in front of him was Ouyang Minghe, but he immediately rejected this idea. The person in front of him was indeed Ouyang Minghe, because he was too familiar with Ouyang Minghe, to the point where he wanted to puke.
"Destroy me first? Don't forget how you lost to me in your previous life. However, you and I are fated to be enemies. No matter what happens, we will never be friends. " Wang Yang said.
"I used to treat you as a friend, and a friend that I value the most. Unfortunately, what you gave me was naked betrayal. It was you who chose to become my enemy, so I had no choice." Han Xiao said calmly.
Perhaps his mental state had changed. Originally, even he himself did not expect that he could still speak in such a calm manner when facing Wang Yang, nor did he expect that he would be able to calmly face Wang Yang's betrayal.
Hearing Han Xiao's words, Wang Yang recalled the time he was with Ouyang Ming, saying that Ouyang Ming really did treat him as his most important friend, and in order to save him, he had almost been beaten to death. Wang Yang had been touched by the thought of being Ouyang Ming's best friend for a lifetime, but in the end, he still couldn't overcome the greed and jealousy in his heart.
"You're right, I chose to betray you, but so what if I am president of the Ouyang Group? If I don't betray you, I will never be able to sit in that position, but the laughable thing is that in the end, I was pulled down by you as a cushion and ended up in this place." As Wang Yang spoke, he glanced outside with a faint smile on his face and said, "It's time for the academy to close, but I'm really happy to be able to meet you again, because I can once again enjoy the feeling of defeating you. To be honest, that feeling is really very good." With that, Wang Yang turned into a beam of purple light and disappeared from everyone's sight.
